@TimStone Too many games, too little time.

Right now I must decide: Should I start up Fantasy Life or Etrian Odyssey IV?

On one hand, Fantasy Life. On the other hand, EOIV.

Here, let me make that decision for you *chops off both of @Wipqozn's hands*

There, was that so hard?

WEll that wasn't very nice at all.

In fact that was kind of fucked up

You've got too many hands

I think two is the perfect amount

In fact I wouldn't mind a third

@PrivatePansy @Yuuki Minecraft really should have its own SE site because it causes so much trouble here.

That really doesn't help, actually

@Benjamin Except that site would just be terrible.

The problem we have is the sheer number of crappy Minecraft questions, not the sheer number of them.

All we'd really be doing istossing the problem onto another site.

Also everyone would still ask her, since we couldn't really make minecraft off topic. That would be silly.

Q: Does "stupidity" and "courage" affect the performance of kerbonauts?

With the latest patch Kerbonauts can gain skill as Pilots, Engineers, and Scientists. Besides that they only have the two distinguishing traits Stupidity and Courage. Apparently the latter two affect the reaction of Kerbonauts to situations e.g. stupid courageous ones grin in dire situations, wh...

kerbal-space-program

If we did, then everyonhe would still ask her unless we got SE to set up special code to just post all questions tagged with minecraft to minecraft.se instead. That, however, wouild never happen.

Indeed. The issue is that there's too many clueless people playing Minecraft, and not enough experts to help them, or even to clean up their crappy questions

11:55 AM

I, for one, blame @fredley.

fredley

@Wipqozn :(

@fredley You know you deserve it.

Benjamin

@Wipqozn But, this would keep non-minecrafters from having to deal with the minecraft questions.

@Benjamin Just put minecraft on your ignored tags list.

@Benjamin There's a solution for that already. Put minecraft on your list of ignored tags

@Wipqozn Weeellllll, he used to be one of the top minecraft posters

Still is, actually

11:57 AM

@Benjamin go to your profile page -> preferences -> add minecraft to ignored tags -> Hide questions in your ignored tags

Will hide any question tagged with minecraft

He certainly could give the incoming minecraft question some TLC

Benjamin

Thanks, that would be very helpful.

@PrivatePansy Just look at his icon.

12:20 PM

No. Just no.

12:36 PM

But seriously. I'm not sure what to play.

I blame everyone but myself

Use this method when trying to choose between two seemingly equally good choices

Flip a coin, then pick one. If you suddenly realize you want to play the other, then you know that the two choices weren't equally good in the first place.

Otherwise, no regrets, because the choice was based on your best available information and a source of randomness

fredley

@RedRiderX Our game is getting lots of visitors

@PrivatePansy This method chose Fantasy Life.

I'm not sure if I regret this or not

NO REGRETS

I think... I think I really do want to play Etrian Odyssey IV, not Fantasy Life.

12:46 PM

Well then do that.

Part of what's drawing me towards fantasy life is all the cool kids are playing it right now

Games are at the peak fun level when played along other folks. MAn, this is the worst. I really do blame all of you.

Better idea: I'll play EOIV, and if I find myself thinking "man, I sure wish I was playing Fantasy life instead!" I'll switch to that.

OKay, well party selection time!

@Unionhawk You around?

which colour scheme should I go with for this runemaster...

decisions are tough

VOTES: Top one or bottom one?

This character will be a mage named @spugsley.

1:03 PM

Eh, top one is more glow-ey and thus more mage-like

You're the second person to choose top one, which was also my first choice.

Should I call it @spugsley or Samantha though...

Spusley.

Except no typo

Sam. Call her Sam.

That's not a bad idae either

I feel like you proposed that just to fuck with me

In which case, well done.

Now why would I do that...

But @spugsley is is! Alrteady typed out

and finally, my medic

who will be replace part way through the game with the ARcanist named @GraceNote. I'll call this medic... Michael. Because because @ElfSlice.

You know what to call your Truck Driver, if you ever need one

I mean, what sort of RPG doesn't have a Truck Driver class?

PARTY COMPLETE

@AshleyNunn as my Fortress (Tank),of course (she's always the tank), @Unionhawk as my Landsknecht (shield using swordsman), @Yuuki and @spugsley as Runemasters (mages), and @ElfSlice as my Medic (healer).

@Wipqozn Are you calling @AshleyNunn fat?

@PrivatePansy No, she's just always been my tank. I'm not sure why.

Hmmm, in EO:U's story mode the Medic defaults to the front row, which is where I kept him

1:22 PM

Front-Row medic is a fine choice.

Medics can go on either way, just depends on your party and how you build them.

Mine won't be dealing damage at all, and I have space in the back row, so I put him there (Take less damage).

@PrivatePansy you should ping me

@Wipqozn Uh, okay

jeeeesu way too loud

okay, let's try this again

I've had my speakers off for ages, so trying to get them at non-ear killing volume

You could click on the speaker icon, and adjust the volume there

@StrixVaria Also, the fact that Lifehacks.SE needs me, someone who for all intents and purposes would prefer the site to go down in flames, amuses me.

@Arperum That's different. @Sterno actually wants to save/improve the site for some godforsaken reason.

I've already given it up for a lost cause.

Okay, credit card guitar pick MK. 2 is working better.

@Yuuki lifehack?

@ElfSlice Please no. I just got Rocksmith working and I seem to have lost my guitar picks.

sounds like a #lifehack to me

I call it "me being cheap until I can go out and buy actual guitar picks", not a "lifehack".

I have no intention of substituting guitar picks for credit cards.

Try doing that substitution the other way and see how far you get

8:36 PM

@Yuuki being cheap/stupid/lazy (pick at least two) is the definition of a lifehack

@Arperum By the way lifehacks are described, they seem intended to completely replace whatever you were using originally.

And this is emphatically not what I'm doing here. It's a stand-in until I go out to a music store buy actual picks.

Because picks are cheap as f--k too.

ah hell, nidhogg was on a flash sale I guess and I missed it

@Yuuki That's the "cheap" part

@Yuuki That's the lazy.

@Arperum It's lazy in that it's pouring rain outside and I don't want to leave the house in that weather for a few picks.

no problem with chatting or steam downloads from my library though

what do you think is the problem?

I googled that error just now

> Check your hosts file. 1.Open Notepad as administrator 2.Enter C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts in the open dialogue box. 3.Check if any Steam URLs are in the file. 4.If yes, remove them and save the file.
Edit: enhanced steam and few other programs can cause this problem so if you have anything like that try uninstalling them as well.

reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/2cdquk/…

Try refreshing or restarting steam. That fixes 99% of all steam problems. Or do the thing @ElfSlice said if that doesn't work.

@ElfSlice no guarantee there though, I've had that error before, I just blame high load on the steam servers.

Steam is up according to issteamdown.com

@ElfSlice The handle thing that you use to make the notes waver.

suuure

Vibrato systems for guitar

A variety of mechanical vibrato systems for guitar have been developed since the 1930s. They are used to add vibrato to the sound by changing the tension of the strings, typically at the bridge or tailpiece of an electric guitar using a controlling lever (often referred to as a whammy bar, vibrato arm/bar, or tremolo arm/bar). The lever enables the player to quickly vary the tension and sometimes the length of the strings temporarily, changing the pitch to create a vibrato, portamento or pitch bend effect. Instruments without this device have other bridge and tailpiece systems. The mechanical vibrato...

ios terraria-mobile

@Yuuki high currency numbers cause people to talk about it. If millions became merely thousands, then the player will feel less accomplished

@Unionhawk It's annoying readability-wise though, depending on how you show the numbers.

It's all about making the player feel that they've accomplished something big.

Even if it's not actually that big

It's just a nitpicking thing I have with games where the cheapest item costs 1000000 (currency).
