So, Community just bumped Ronan's Race For Wool signup question as having no upvoted answers.
We're very close to catching up with SuperUser.  According to Quantcast...

Q: I noticed I am missing a lot of units in Supreme Commander 1

pukA lot of the tutorials make reference to, for example, the UEF T3 Heavy Point Defense and the UEF T3 Mobile Missile Platform. However, I do not have them in my version of the game. Was this patched in later, or is it in Forged Alliance/Supreme Commander 2?

Q: Is the AI in supreme commander too difficult?

pukI know everyone says the AI is too easy, but I've found it exceeding difficult to beet the AI on maps 20x20 and smaller. They seem to do three things, and they do it VERY quickly Build experimental units and ambush you Build artillery and shell you Build nukes and nuke you If I try to build a...

Q: Is a naked death cheaper than a clothed one?

BlueSixtyWhile running a flash point my group decided to suicide instead of making the long lonley run back to the start point. We were wondering if dying naked was less expensive than wearing your gear. Does the damage to gear from death apply only to equipped gear or to gear in your bags as well.

 
@John What's that?
 
@Tristan What's what?
?
 
12:17 AM
@Tristan Getting ship upgrades helps.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz I figured... But I'm saving my credits right now. =(
 
oh, to the folks who have SWTOR, can you name your ship?
 
@Wipqozn Nope.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz ah, dang
if I could
I would have bought the game
 
@Wipqozn But each class gets a different model. (more or less. The two sith classes share one, and the two jedi ones do as well.)
 
12:19 AM
just so I could name my ship "Friend", and it would be the "friendship"
 
@Wipqozn You can create a last name for all of your characters though.
And combine it with a title to have all kinds of fun.
Especially given some of the more comical titles, like Homewrecker.
 
This guy is making looking at comment threads kinda disorienting.
 
@John Clearly you just need to change your user name
 
@John He's on SO too, so he's clearly not a flyby post once and disappear type.
 
@Wipqozn Yeah. I'm sure becoming Bob Cratchit here would be less confusing.
 
12:22 AM
@John could just use your last name
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes, and that's a good thing, but......me and him might need to have a little talk.
 
or "musicman"
@John are you going to break his knees?
 
@Wipqozn Sounds like a forum name. Not a name I would want to use on SO, and I don't want to break consistency.
I could change it to "John The Green Guy". I've found myself starting to use that name.
 
@John Green John.
Then you could convince him to become Purple John.
And you could happily ride into the sunset, side by side.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That would be the hard part, as I've never seen him in chat.
@LessPop_MoreFizz We could form the alliance of multicolored John's.
 
12:24 AM
@John Are you sure? You may have seen him and just mistaken him for you.
 
@Wipqozn He's purple; I'm green. I'm sure.
 
@John that's racist.
2
 
@Wipqozn I have nothing against purple people. Please though, I've already had one discussion on racism today. I don't need another.
 
@John I see how it is. Fine, I win this argument, but next time, I'm winning again.
 
@John Today is an appropriate day to reflect on and discuss racism.
 
12:27 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Which reminds me of the guy who mentioned that yesterday in preparation for today....
@Wipqozn As long as I beat you in SC2, RoN, or AoE, fine.
 
@John What about chess?
 
I kinda regret going Marauder.
@John I'm about to give Spiral Knights a try. What should I expect?
 
@Wipqozn That could work, but ATM it doesn't look like I'm going to be beating you anytime soon. :(
@Tristan Top-down, I'm told it's Diablo style. One sec, I'll log in also.
 
Also, what's RoN? O.o
 
@Tristan Rise of Nations
 
12:33 AM
@John Ooh, okay. I've played the other two.
 
@Tristan it's a fun little action-style MMO, main downside is that once you start really getting into it, you practically have to spend real money to be able to keep progressing
 
@FallenAngelEyes Do not.
They do limit you, but you can usually fit in an hour of play with the amount of currency they give you in a day.
 
@John you know why? Because you're not a brony.
 
Though in some cases it costs to revive, so the better you are, the further you can get in one play.
 
@John Like I said, "practically." I like 6-8 hour gaming stints, an hour isn't very long for me. :P
 
12:35 AM
Well, I'm gonna give it a go. And then probably play some Lol! =D
 
@FallenAngelEyes I understand that if I'm playing with people I know, but I tend to be scatterbrained and changes games every hour or so. :P Though not as much as GnomeSlice.
 
Just grind out lotsa crowns so you can buy better gear on the market, because you won't be able to craft it yourself without spending cash on more energy
 
@FallenAngelEyes Actually 2 very nice people flat out gave me the equipment I needed for tier 2.
 
@John Most people aren't so lucky :P
 
Oh, it's downloading data. Gonna be a minute. =(
 
12:37 AM
Good luck shooooOOoooooting stuff in LoL @Tristan!
I'm heading off to bed, g'night
 
@FallenAngelEyes Thanks! =D G'night
 
@FallenAngelEyes In following with SE's "Pay it Forward" principle, I've been trying to do that for someone else....but I can't find anyone who wants to progress to tier 2 that can't already.
@FallenAngelEyes Goodnight!
@Tristan So, about every 15 minutes, you receive one unit of mist energy, up to a maximum of being able to hold 100 at one time. The main place you explore is built in levels and it costs 10 energy to descend one level.
 
@John interesting.. It's gonna be a minute before I get in-game. it's downloading something... Patches I guess.
 
really really hopes his character will be syched between computers
@Tristan You're lucky. At least you can see yours. Presumably mine is doing the same, as I just installed for the first time on this computer, but it has no open window...
 
This is genius
 
12:44 AM
Ouch.
 
@Wipqozn Spelling bee?
 
@John clever girl
 
I tried launching it again and the one I could see realized there were two open and decided to be a gentleman and let the *other one* finish.
>.<
 
lol
 
12:48 AM
Greexings.
 
@RavenDreamer Greezingz to you too doodz.
 
@FallenAngelEyes That explains a lot, actually.
Everytime I look up, Steam says you're in Dungeon Defenders. I
:P
 
@RavenDreamer I've seen long stints of her playing Anno 2070 too.
 
@Wipqozn I appreciate the warning.
 
12:50 AM
@John you're welcome. You owe me.
 
@RonanForman I'm pretty sure you're wrong on the numbers bit by orders of magnitude, we have 14186 questions, but this one user on Yahoo! Answers has composed 15188 answers (mostly in Video Games), and there are scores of other users with similar numbers.
 
Yeah! Character synching FTW! Any progress @Tristan?
 
@John I'm making my knight!
 
@Tristan Woo!
Tell me when you reach Haven.
And tell me your Knight's name.
 
12:53 AM
Batman
 
@NickT @Wipqozn Already posted this. I think. If it's what I think it is, I'm not watching it again to find out.
@NickT Nothing said he had to be a dark knight.
 
@John I'm Batman
 
@John My knights name is, of course, nihilistronin
 
Here's the original video:
 
@Tristan Ah I see. It automatically made me friends with you and sent me an email telling me you were playing.
 
12:54 AM
Story from North America
 
@NickT Oh that makes sense. Tries to figure out how to friend someone
 
Also, @NickT, hive mind. I was just thinking about this, and then only a few minutes later you posted it.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD
 
@Tristan Basically, once you reach Haven, you won't have the cash to do anything yet. You'll want to head North to the arcade, and enter one of the gates. At that point, I should be able to join you.
 
@John Gotcha
 
1:00 AM
Why does my Cobalt helm have better stats than my solid cobalt helm? Is that the difference between heat level 1 and heat level 10?
 
@John shame there isn't some place you could ask that :/
 
@Wipqozn I'm not sure I could flesh it out any more than that though, and I feel uncomfortable asking one-liners.
 
What are the effects of the heat modifier/ability/skill/whatever_it_is_called?
 
@Wipqozn you mean affects
 
1:04 AM

Q: What does leveling your equipment get you?

Raven DreamerAfter every mission in Spiral Knights, you earn "Heat" which upgrades your weapons and armor. What does leveling your equipment do? Does it make it more damaging / more protective? Do certain activities require items of a certain level?

Though it doesn't explicitly cover if what I'm wondering about is the same thing.
 
@NickT I'm fairly certain it's effect in this case.
 
</troll>
 
@NickT Oooooh! The troller got trolled! @Wipqozn You just got served. snapping head thing
 
why didn't you use that image
come on
 
1:06 AM
@John My zeus. Why would you go around snapping heads?!?!
 
@NickT Because he still has some sense of humanity.
 
@Wipqozn Or not.
 
@John That's better.
 
@Wipqozn Because you'd humanity would be better off afterwards.
Oh hi @GnomeSlice. @Wipqozn was just insulting you.
 
1:09 AM
I HAVE ARRIVED. please begin basking in my glory and/or placing gifts at my feet.
 
@agent86 No.
 
@agent86 Why would anyone do that? I'm here.
 
@John Just got to haven
 
@Tristan Yay!
Keep going North and you should see the Arcade fairly soon.
Which one are you in?
 
1:10 AM
Haven 10
 
@Wipqozn FINE. when I rule the universe, I will make sure that all traces of you are erased permanently.
 
@Tristan Oh rats. I'm in Haven 9. Well the Clockworks should still be the same.
 
@GnomeSlice That was awesome.
 
I can't decide if this is even more awesome.
 
In the arcade now.
 
@Tristan Keep going North and you'll find somethings that say press attack to activate. Do that, and tell me the name of the one you picked.
 
Okay, that's all of them.
 
@GnomeSlice your magic card is fantastic and incredibly fitting. I loled
 
@spugsley My what?
 
@spugsley It left out his link spam.
 
1:13 AM
@John Iron Bishop gate
 
@John I was just wondering if that could be added hahaha
 
'Magic Card'?
 
@Tristan Alright, descend it. Assuming you want that one, of course.
@spugsley How about it @OrigamiRobot?
 
@GnomeSlice you don't know?
 
@spugsley I don't know what that refers to.

Q: So I heard you like Magic cards

OrigamiRobotAfter the people over at Board & Card Games made a promotional Magic card, I thought it would be fun to card-ify some of the people here. They were apparently very popular (mostly) and people were asking for more. Then I realized I don't really know much about a lot of the people here. Don...

 
@spugsley Oh dear...
HAH.
THAT'S GREAT.
 
@GnomeSlice I know!
 
Shouldn't I be one of each mana type?
 
it has the highest upvotes too
 
Wow, I'm only a 3/1?
It's funny because @Mana is in tons of them, but he doesn't actually get his own card.
 
1:17 AM
that's hilarious!
 
I don't get Arda's.
 
origamirobot says because he'd make a terrible mod
 
@GnomeSlice He gets into arguments.
 
@IanPugsley Heh.
 
1:19 AM
And doesn't let go.
 
@RavenDreamer I don't get the second part I mean.
'equipped by moderator armor'.

JPAI know the following ... One from daily from PVP vendor on Fleet One from daily "Help the War Effort" on Illum You could get ... Two from Weekly from PVP vendor on Fleet Two from Weekly from Illum "Help the War Effort" Are there any other Champion Bags available as rewards?

Q: Is there any way to bind jump and ski to space?

I take DrukqsI'm a Tribes vet. Naturally I don't want jump on control and ski on space. I want them both on space. Skiing was originally an undocumented feature so they both functioned on the same key (space). Is there any way to put them both on space?

 
@IanPugsley I'm not familiar with those symbols.
 
1:20 AM
@John It's not letting me talk.
 
@IanPugsley Suggest more black and red, less white and blue.
 
@RavenDreamer Shouldn't he be entirely fire?
 
@Tristan :(
 
@RavenDreamer I'm trying to be objective (looking at the SE network as whole, not just gaming)
 
@John I have no idea what's going on. I'm even getting timeouts in here. =(
 
1:21 AM
black implies legitimate ill intent to me
 
I didn't get any flavour text... =[
 
@Tristan Maybe exiting one will improve the other?
 
It should have been ಠ_ಠ
 
Grace's evocation should be one of each mana type.
because really no one has a better idea!
 
Each turn, I should have the effect of placing 3 new links into play. They are boring, so don't bother looking at them.
 
1:25 AM
They were so boring they were left off the card entirely
 
link tokens*
@badp Some people were just talking about including link spam in the card.
 
Rather. Every turn add 1 counter. When you reach 10 ban you for 3 turns and reset the counter.
Which again doesn't matter if your toughness is 1...
 
About that...
Why is it only 1?
I mean, @Wipqozn is the most powerful of the users... ಠ_ಠ
 
what does (0): mean btw?
as seen in Raven's card.
 
1:28 AM
zero mana cost
 
that is?
 
of any colour.
 
you need to spend 0 mana to activate that power?
 
@badp You can play the card for free.
 
Okay, what if it was 1
 
1:29 AM
yes that
 
If it was (1) it would cost one of any mana colour to play the card.
 
as in put on the ground?
 
@GnomeSlice Damn right I am.
 
wasn't that cost put in the up right corner?
 
@badp ...No? That's where the card name goes.
What do you guys think of this?
It's not finished.

It's just a download link...

and it nearly blew it up, well done
 
Actually, your browser will probably try to play it.
 
user20683
it did

1:33 AM
and I use VLC
 
Did anyone actually listen to it?
@OrigamiRobot You should capitalize the first two letters of every sentence on @Wipqozn's card.
 
@GnomeSlice I did. It sounds pretty good to me.
 
The single lightbulb in my room just burnt out. :(
 
@murgatroid99 =] Huzzah!
 
1:37 AM
I was gonna do Grace's. =[
That's not bad though.
Shouldn't the mana cost be a bit higher?
 
user20683
@GnomeSlice Magic has had multiple versions of cards
 
Eh, I'm too lazy.
 
@Tristan Yes
 
@GnomeSlice You could do me. 2nd edition me. >:D

Q: Is there a way to play Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask on the PC?

GumbzI remember starting Majora's Mask, loving every minute of it, then having to go off to college and leave the N64 at home with the family. Now that I'm done, and my younger siblings have long since broken our N64, is there a way for me to restart (and finish!) my adventures on the PC?

 
@spugsley Yes. Always, yes.
 
@GnomeSlice Your card is awesome enough without flavour text.
 
@Wipqozn Not just mine.
 
1:42 AM
@RavenDreamer you'd think that but then I ask one about prostitutes
 
@IanPugsley nah, I was thinking more like
 
@spugsley What's wrong with prostitutes?
 
 
@RavenDreamer my thoughts exactly! But I had like 40 down votes (slight exaggeration)
 
A Grace Note without snark really ain't Grace Note.
 
1:43 AM
@badp Is that... one snow-covered mana?
 
@RavenDreamer correct!
 
@spugsley Hunh? Whyever for?
 
You need to incorporate the music note into Grace's card.
 
@RavenDreamer Uh, it was her previous avatar
 
I was in gradeschool when Ice Age was out.
 
1:43 AM
@RavenDreamer it was a shitty question. I admit it :)
 
@badp It's not previous, it still is
 
...at least on MSO iirc
 
@badp No, not his avatar. The cost, next to the whtie mana.
 
But yes, it's a Snow Covered mana.
 
I just typed all the letters that gave symbols.
 
1:44 AM
@GraceNote is always lurking.
ALWAYS.
 
@OrigamiRobot For my card art, you can put down my name, I created my gravatar.
 
(does that mean that to use the "change one rule" power you need to play 6 manas on top of those 5 manas at the top?)
 
@badp No
 
@badp You pay the 6 mana on top once.
 
@badp nope; that's three colorless (mana of any color)
 
1:45 AM
Top cost is just to play me in the first place
 
Then the 3 mana whenever you want to change a rule.
@IanPugsley Don't star this. You named it the wrong thing.
 
alrighty, brb to watch How I Met Your Mother right quick
 
@RavenDreamer Okay, that's what I meant.
 
more when I return! (suggestions welcome)
@RavenDreamer freehand?
 
brb here also for how I met your mother
 
1:46 AM
@IanPugsley Freehand.
You should poke @seangalagher to complete the pugsly gravatar, and do spugsley also.
 
@IanPugsley Give this card all the stars.
 
@RavenDreamer who what huh Pugsley gravatar?
I think he was making @OrigamiRobot a gravatar
 
Didn't he already make a Pugsley Gravatar?
 
@GraceNote he did and I'm wearing it
 
1:52 AM
 
@IanPugsley Hey, give me credit for the image art!
 
This is alarmingly easy.
 
I fear this new craze will be the death of GSE

Wow you all really took the card and ran with it
 
@RedriderX As I said it's alarmingly easy.

If we keep producing cards at this rate we could play Magic The Gathering: Stack Exchange Edition for Game on!
 
 
3:02 AM
I like how the starred list is composed almost entirely of mock magic cards right now.
@badp I like how you obviously have no idea how the card type system works haha
 
@Wipqozn as I said no knowledge required!
 
Sometimes I think we have too much free time on our hands.
But then I think about something else because we're all awesome.
 
@Wipqozn This makes @badp the best designer
 
@OrigamiRobot I assume badp is too busy making cards to star that.

IsziSpun off from this answer: My housecarls won't stay dressed! Apparently, certain characters will just outright refuse to keep on any clothes that don't meet their particular preference.
