Q: How can I prevent spiders from climbing over walls?

FoxtrotWhat is the best way to create a structure / fort with no roof in Minecraft that can prevent spiders from climbing in at night?

Have at that one.
 
@OrigamiRobot, I bought you a present:
WHO SAYS MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS?
 
@agent86 @StrixVaria needs it more then me!
 
also WHO SAYS HAPPINESS NEEDS 2 Ps
 
@agent86 "hapiness" would probably be pronounced humorously
 
Hap In Ess?
 
4:05 PM
@OrigamiRobot Where did I get this reputation from?
 
Ha pin ess?
Methinks with out the second P the I looses its 'e' quality :)
 
@James Ha-penis.
 
@James I'd pronounce hapiness as hay-pee-ness.
 
@ArdaXi that's what I was aiming at
 
@Tristan piness != penis unless you are dylexic..
 
4:06 PM
HAY-PEE-NESS
Hey, [male genetalia]...
 
Haha, Wow thats quite a few ways to say that set of letters :)
 
@James Maybe I MA dyslexic!
 
okay, wow. makes mental note to add more p's to everything
 
@Tristan cough I think you means lysdexic cough
 
everypppthing
 
4:08 PM
@agent86 A thing with out p is not a thing worth having!
 
so, it has come to this
 
@TimStone It is absolutely the contest driving those questions.
 
3min meeting. awesome. Off to get a glass of water :)
 
@DavidB Come to what?
 
well, a new low for the chat it seems :)
 
4:10 PM
@Sterno Hm...I wonder if, in the future, we should incorporate some sort of penalty for down voted content that falls under the contest criteria to dissuade people from posting rashly. At the same time, it's probably not that big of a deal.
 
You don't need to link me that.
My brain is wired to come up with a witty xkcd reference for every occasion.
3
 
@ArdaXi Oh wow, you out-meta-xkcd-ed me.
 
I just need to plug in the new comics as they come out.
 
@TimStone Yeah, I'm not sure it's a big deal. He's a cool guy, but he's new to the site and I was mainly trying to find a concise way to explain to him what sorts of questions the community tends to think are good, and which aren't, and why. He'll drop by my desk and say "Why'd this one get downvoted so much!" for various ones and hasn't quite seemed to grok what we do and don't like here yet.
And I found it really hard to articulate
 
4:14 PM
@Sterno I've got several new friends on the site of late, and I'm having to have very similar conversations :)
 
Wow, this guy knows a thing or two about passwords, his bank account had 'eeeeeeeeee' as it's password.
 
@RonanForman Imagine being scammed that off the phone
"We're just going to need your password." "Eeeeeeeeee!"
 
"eee-ee-eeee"
 
@RonanForman I knew a guy whose stock account password was his last name in reverse. His last name was 4 characters long.
 
I can't really talk as the password to my gateway is 'passypass'.
 
4:17 PM
@RonanForman Ten characters isn't too bad though.
 
P4ssw0rd is secure, though. It even has a capital letter and some numbers. Go for that.
 
@RonanForman Also, it's interesting if one didn't know what you were playing.
 
@RonanForman makes note
Oh, Uplink. That explains a lot.
 
I get kinda mad when I see people make rep from dupes.
 
@John I used to get kinda mad when I saw people get rep from guesses on ITG.
 
4:26 PM
@StrixVaria I understand that. Especially if they were wrong guesses.
 
@ArdaXi I love that game.
 
Have you noticed it filters some special words @Ullallulloo?
Pretty cool.
 
@Gigili It filters out profanity and the thing that you're supposed to draw.
 
@John I don't get mad about rep from dupes unless the person who answered it clearly draws from the dupe answer, and thus knew they should have flagged/VTC'd rather than answer
But then my anger is double!
 
@Sterno In the case I just saw, the upvoted & accepted answerer was the first person to VTC.
 
4:31 PM
@John Was this the spider one?
 
@GraceNote Twas.
 
Figured
 
To be fair, the original doesn't have the most searchable title, but it's still on the first page for "minecraft climb spiders".
 
@John I see no reason not to answer the duplicate, as the slight variations in titles could make it appear first in google.
 
@Tristan Then we link it to the original with the "Possible Duplicate" link that gets inserted when it gets closed.
 
4:34 PM
@Ullallulloo Yeah, that's what I meant.
 
@John I know. I'd cross-reference the first answer and the dupe answer... If it was me, anyway. =P

Q: Automatically redirect anonymous user from unanswered duplicate question to corresponding answered version

FabianDuplicate questions that use different words to describe the same problem are important for people to find the content via search engines. But the user experience when an anonymous user arrives at a duplicate is less than ideal. They have to notice the duplicate link and understand that the answ...

This is relevant as far as searchability, answers, and duplicates
 
@GraceNote I noticed an automatic redirect from a deleted dupe to the original.
 
@John This is newly implemented
 
@GraceNote Oh so I see. Cool.
 
4:38 PM
Play me in Draw My Thing: omgpop.com/i/drawmything/1fecnu_12ydr1
 
Hey guys, this is MonteCristo from ggChronicle/the ggClassic. I wanted to check in and see if anyone here watched the tournament this weekend. I'd love to get some feedback.
 
@MonteCristo I watched a bit of it.
The microphone kept cutting out during the commentary.
The overall presentation was really high quality, though.
The example question they were coming up with for LoL on our site were pretty good too, for the most part.
 
We have fixed those issues with the casters
 
@MonteCristo 'fraid I had an obligation I couldn't shake due to the short notice we got of it here.
 
and those issues only plagued a small percentage of the dozen or so matches we broadcast this weekend
 
4:41 PM
Yeah, I didn't have a lot of time to watch this weekend. Most of what I did watch was after the fact, not live.
Since the game sound is completely muted, the commentators should make an effort to continue talking nonstop throughout the game.
There were a few awkward silences during the matches I watched.
 
@John We have two more weekends of competition, which is why I'm soliciting feedback. I want to ensure that the regular users of this site are happy with our promotion.
 
I like the way you're presenting our site in the commentary.
Just try to keep it positive :)
 
@MonteCristo I was unaware of that. I'll try to watch some. :)
 
Despite Sterno's claims to know the man behind the mask, I'm starting to wonder if Johnjon was just created as an experiment to test people's thresholds for downvoting. ;-)
 
@John The next two weekends will be even better, as we whittle down the amateur teams and just the best NA pro squads remain
We anticipate having around 30,000 viewers for the finals, if not more
 
4:46 PM
@MonteCristo Sounds good.

Q: How am I supposed to make money?

StrixVariaI know I'm supposed to "steal" from different parts of the world to make money, but the amount you get from that just pales in comparison to the amount I'm spending building my base. Things in the base are ridiculously expensive, and I just don't have enough workers to do all the things I want to...

@Lazers I miss
:(
 
@Sterno They give concrete reasons why pirating might not be in your best interest. They stay away from "coz its bad", and instead explain the implications of piracy both to you as a user, and to the industry in general. I think they do a good job of staying fact based rather than just being personal opinions with nothing to back them up.
 
@Wipqozn Do you play SotC on Steam?? I tried to activate that game and failed over and over again.
 
@John Did you see my comment on that question?
 
4:52 PM
@Tristan Just did.
 
@James No, PS3.
Oh, right. PS3 has steam support or something.
 
@Wipqozn I shall give it another go tonight, that game looks pretty neat
 
@ArdaXi That could apply to just about any RPG out there, but still LOL
 
@ArdaXi That game gives you praxis points too easily.
and too much.
 
4:59 PM
Ah, I've never played it, so I wouldn't know if it is especially true there.
 
How do you vote for a reopen on a closed thread?
just flag?
 
@Foxtrot IF you have 3k+ I believe you can vote yourself. IF you have less than 3k just flag for mod attention, and say it should be re-opened.
 
@Wipqozn tyvm :)
 
250 if it's your own question.
 
@FAE @OrigamiRobot My RB Profile
 
5:10 PM
@Foxtrot Posting in chat can also be quite effective, since all you need is 5 users with voting privileges to agree with you.
 
@Foxtrot if you flag things for re-opening, and it's not obviously fixed to be on topic mods probably won't take action, fyi. especially if it got close voted by the community, having a mod override that decision can be problematic
if you want people to look at it and reconsider their close votes, you can paste the link in here and you'll usually get some good feedback
 
Otherwise you end up with that weird dynamic where 3k+ users can only vote to re-open, but <3k users can flag and essentially open it with just one mod agreeing
 
@agent86 oh, valid points.
well said,

Q: Is there anyway to recover from being knocked down?

WipqoznCertain attacks will knock me down and I won't be able to get up for awhile. Some of the colossus will knock you down with everyone one of your attacks, and due to their attack patterns can result in being hit once being a game over, since the moment you get back up they attack.

Q: Is it possible to automatically buy (bind, alias) items in DotA 2's configurable 'recommended' area of the Shop?

Myrddin EmrysI know that it is possible to create an alias to buy things directly from the shop, as in: dota_shop_force_hotkeys 1 toggleshoppanel shop_nav_to_tab 1 shop_select_itemrow 2 And that's very nice. But is there any way to alias purchasing the suggested items on the configurable pane to the left? ...

 
I feel like that Dota question is a dupe... It looks familiar
Huh... Guess it isn't.
 
2 hours ago, by StrixVaria
But I'm an evil grump and I downvote everything.
 
FAE
@IanPugsley Following you now. Here's mine.
 
@FAE Nice hair :D
 
FAE
@James lol thanks :P
 
@fbueckert There it is! Thanks.
But I guess it isn't a duplicate. Just seem similar.
 
5:32 PM
@Tristan The other one looks more generic but the answer looks almost specific to this question as well.
 
@FAE We played at lunch, and now my arm hurts :(
 
@James Well... I think one wants an automatic script, but the other one just wants to rebind keys... But I don't understand any of the coding. So I don't know if one's different than the other. lol
 
I think they are both putting into an automatically loaded script files the binding commands.. Let me go read em again :)
Nope, purple hair again, that would be the Wrong Link (tm)
 
@Tristan Glad to help. :)
Any chance we might get an Armored Core V tag going? I suspect I may be abusing it, as it got released today.
 
You have enough reputation to create the tag, I believe
 
5:36 PM
I do? Huh.
 
@fbueckert Just ask a question about it and tag it as armored-core-v (or 5). =P
 
tons of NSFW language (even the title...), but kind of an interesting "final fight" inspired music video
 
I had to make earlier today. My first new tag! =P
 
@Tristan THey are both keybinding buying things from the shop. The post that @fbueckert found is how to get it to all go from one key (first time there it will buy the first item, second time will get the next one and so on).
But I do think that original one answers the new one and then adds on more information
 
@Tristan Well, first I have to buy and play it. :P
 
5:42 PM
Man... This movie is weird.
 
@agent86 Haha, Didnt listen to it since I am at work but nice video :)
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Haha, always gotta break it back in
 
@FAE Did you get such a high score only doing vocals?
 
FAE
@James Eh? I play all 4.
 
Guess who just found a rich guys bank account!
 
5:52 PM
@FAE Ah, kewl. Your latest songs just showed vocals so I was wondering.. Trying to see if a friend of mine has an account on there.. that webbie needs some search functionality :D
 
FAE
@James it should show that my highest score is bass
 
@FAE top 2% of bass players, even :)
 
@RonanForman Batman? Was it Batman?
Oh George Takei, how you're awesome.

@FAE It does indeed, I was just looking at the list on the left, didnt see the stats on the right :)
 
@Wipqozn It was totally batman.
 
5:59 PM
@FAE Not sure if you've seen this yet. Guild Wars 2 related, obviously :P
 
Although he's now spent all that money and is poor again.
 
FAE
@Wipqozn Haven't read yet, will do so in abit
 
@RonanForman I robbed one bank and was able to buy ALL the things. =P
 
@Tristan I have, and now have no money
 
@FAE Dead End Friends was not a good song to warm up to.
 
6:03 PM
@RonanForman Nice. The rest of the game is super easy from there.
 
@RonanForman When was Batman poor?
 
Also I'm going really fast, it's only been 1 month and I'm already at bank hack missions.
 
@Tristan You just got seeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrved.
 
@Wipqozn lmao
 
6:07 PM
@Wipqozn I don't understand scripting or coding. So @James took a look at it and said that they were the same thing.
 
@Tristan uh oo lol.
 
Wonder if my comment is too argumentative.
 
Ironic how they didn't read your comment
 
@Foxtrot I wanted to end it with "Did you not read the first word of my comment?" but that would be too argumentative.
 
@Tristan It's best not to counter anger with sarcasm. It just makes things worse.
 
6:12 PM
@Wipqozn Does it?
 
@Wipqozn I know. Which is why I didn't say it. =P I think my comment will suffice.
 
@OrigamiRobot Well, depending on the situation.
I think in this context it would be considered worse.

Q: Lane combinations?

Milan93So I was wondering what's the best lane combination?! I played a game half an hour ago and I ( MissFortune ) went bot with Sona. Although on paper this combo is a winner we tackled with some problems like we couldn't escape ganks, Sona was constantly targeted and lack of dmg due to Sonas support ...

 
Sometimes i wish there was a <sarcasm></sarcasm> tag. So people know when I am speaking in that manner.
 
helpfully Just type like you're an Elcor
 
6:13 PM
@Foxtrot <sarcasm>That's a foolish idea!</sarcasm>
Just do that :P
 
lolol
 
@Wipqozn Oh really?
 
@OrigamiRobot Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of my playing Shadow of the Colossus :P
 
@Wipqozn You should definitely edit the title of your last question. LessPop has the right of it.
 
@Tristan His title is funnier, but I think my title is more reflective of the question.
That said, if he wants to go ahead and change it, I won't complain.

Q: What is the best way to level Co-Op Score in Battlefield 3?

FoxtrotPersonally, I am what they call an Achievement-whore or [Formally] a completionist... But Battlefield 3 has taken that to a whole new level. I think Battlefield 3 has about 367 total available dog tags to obtain. I know some of them are not possible to get anymore (Dr. Pepper promo, etc) - but ...

 
@Wipqozn Fair enough. I just figure a funnier title would get ALL the upvotes!
@Foxtrot I got all of the Dr. Pepper dog tags. =P
The Rebecca Black dog tag is the best.
 
@Wipqozn CREATOR, I SUGGEST YOU SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY
 
@Tristan Ugh. Now that song is going to be in my head.
 
@tristan I hate you oooo so much
 
@Sterno As it should be.
@Foxtrot Dr. Pepper is my soda of choice, so I had plenty of codes. lol
 
6:24 PM
@Tristan Believe me too, but when i realized you need to create an account with them to enter the codes in..... The account creation was terminated, but the contest is still running till 12-31-12..... I contacted their support and they said there was noththing they can do /cry

A: How do I turn on "god" mode?

Lawrence A JenningsThere is a Unlimited money. And there is god mode for Survival Mode Im very Close.

 
How do I unlimited money?
 
@John I've never understood people's insistence on shortcutting their way to the top. Even if they do manage it, it's shortlived, as they either get banned for it, or they lose interest, as there's no more goal to achieve.
 
6:46 PM
@fbueckert I have a friend who does this. He cheats a lot and burns himself out of about a game a day. And he wonders why he's bored all the time.
 
@Lazers Eh, possibly too localized?
 
@John A game a day? You have to be pretty dedicated to cheating to manage that.
 
user2334
Speaking of cheating, I left a game running over night with a button taped down. Haven't done that since FF9, over 10 years ago. But I refuse to spend 9 hours playing a virtual slot machine.
 
@MarkTrapp XIII-2, Mark?
 
@MarkTrapp Oldschool
 
user2334
6:55 PM
@fbueckert Yeah. One fragment requires getting 7,777 total coins from the slot machines. You get like ~5 every 4 or 5 pulls.
 
FAE
@John I have friends who get their greatest entertainment out of a game by cheating. They like to dig into hex editors and the like to futz with files so they can do crazy things ingame.
 
user2334
@OrigamiRobot Indeed. Duct tape came through
 
FAE
@MarkTrapp What'd you do it in 9 for?
It's been so long since I played that one that I can't remember what you'd do that for
 
@MarkTrapp I did the same; there's proper effort invested, and there's sheer luck. I draw the line at putting in time like that for unlikely risk/reward.
 
yearhghgrhgh
 
user2334
6:58 PM
@FAE Grinding from like level 45 to 99 and all the really hard abilities, if I remember correctly. There's a place on the world map where you can walk around in circles and just auto-attack and it had pretty good AP/EXP.
 
I love the "casion" games that have ridiculous win percentages in video games
 
you know it's been a bad day at work when you start the day listening to Parry Gripp and end it listening to Opeth
 
I think the slot machines in Saint's Row 2 were crazy loose
 
FAE
@MarkTrapp Oooh I think I vaguely remember that
 
and in New Vegas you could boost your luck and break the bank at pretty much every casino
 
user2334
6:59 PM
There's a gimmick to the ones in FF13-2: if you hit Victory or Super Victory mode, the odds become much better. But I think I hit those once in the hour I tried doing it manually
 
@FAE That's not so much cheating as tweaking, in my opinion. Whoever does that has the proper mad scientist mindset. As long as you're not doing it for multiplayer advantage, anyways.
 
@Tristan Meeting done, let me look again but I swear one of the commands the guy mentions is for selecting those slots even if he didnt use them in his example's answer (ie the info is there still)
 
FAE
@fbueckert Infinite health and money is a liiiiittle more than "tweaking" :P They don't do it for multiplayer though, nay.
 
@Tristan I do not play Dota2.. Is the guy trying to buy the items from the Left side of the screen shot in that other post?
(They say Early, Mid, etc so I am going to take it that those are the 'suggestion' items)
 
@FAE Ahh. You hadn't mentioned that. Doing that basically removes all challenge from the game. Now, if they did it to see if they could shoot purple beams (example; you COULD do that in star trek online when it first launched) or somesuch, I'd say go to it. Infinite health, ammo...just sorta kills the game for me.

7:05 PM
@fbueckert Same.
 
@MarkTrapp Statistically speaking, if you just hold auto-play on the slots, you suffer a 30% loss...

Q: What is the best way to play a support champion?

Milan93Should you go solo top to farm, or go bot and constantly be on your toes because you will have to keep your lane buddy safe? If you go bot, you won't farm at all because your lane buddy has to farm up good to be effective, but on the other hand you won't get any money except from assists, which, ...

 
user2334
@Tristan The strategy guide says 1% (vs. a 30% profit if you play manually). Either way, I woke up to 0 coins (from a starting pool of 17,000).
 
user2334
But the Chocobo races are a great racket: 5,000 coins an hour-ish
 
@James I'm not too worried about the Dota question anymore. I adequately defended myself against his snide comment. =P
 
7:08 PM
Granted, you could tweak the game to make it harder (Serious Sam 3's antipiracy scorpion comes to mind), and provide MORE challenge. That, I approve of. Making things easier smacks of laziness.
 
@MarkTrapp I fail so hard at the Chocobo races... Even when I follow the guide...
 
@Tristan Silver Chocobo with infused attributes rules all. Most of the time, I had to TRY to lose.
And even then, it didn't happen at anything less than Fal'Cie class.
 
user2334
@Tristan Really? Using the Silver Chocobo outline they provided, I only lose one out of every 5 races if I completely ignore Blue Streak; maybe 1 out of 100 if I take the half second to boost when it comes up
 
@fbueckert I got the silver Chocobo. I'm still working on maxing him out and getting him infused.
 
user2334
@Tristan Ah, yeah: that took some grinding. Grinding Potent Orbs and Essences is how I got the Clock Stopper trophy.
 
7:11 PM
@Tristan There did some research and put up an answer of 'No' to specifically his question
Sorry for the misinformation
 
@AshleyNunn Is this question too localized? I don't know the context of "sale" in this case.
 
@MarkTrapp I haven't played since ME3 came out, but I'm gonna get back into it soon.
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot I was trying to figure that out myself. Let me see if it is available as a non-sale item, and then if that is the case, I can edit the answer.
 
user15026
Yeah, looks like it was a limited time sale thing. if I know the game as well as I think I do, it will come around again on a sale, but for now, the only answer really is, you can't get it anymore. Which is still valid answer.

So really, I don't care either way - it can be closed. I got what I wanted XD

@BenBrocka I've intercepted the email, and I've redirected your TV to my house... mwahahahahaha!
TWO TVS!
well, actually, I'm not going to get a TV, so ONE TV!
 
7:41 PM
@agent86 You're not?
 
I guess, though, I already own 2 TVs, so THREE TVs!
@StrixVaria no, I considered my options and asked for alternatives. in the end I opted for a playstation 3.
don't really need the TV, and trying to sell it or something seemed like more trouble than I was really interested in
 
@agent86 That's a pretty sweet prize, though.
I don't have any interest in buying a playstation 3, but if I were given one, I'd take it.
 
@agent86 ah, cool. We can be PSN buddies when you get it!
 
@StrixVaria yeah, I'm pretty psyched. I don't own a blu-ray player even, and it's better than the prize I was expecting to win, so wooo
 
FAE
...I can't tell if this comment directed at me is sarcastic or not...
 
7:44 PM
If it was me it was probably sarcastic
Unless it was me telling you how terrible of a person you are :D
 
FAE
@BenBrocka It's this one
I'm tempted to comment back that whether or not they have an active or latent genetic disposition to becoming Ardat-Yakshi, calling them "Ardat-Yakshi" in that case is still accurate, but I think I'll let it lie. :P
 
@FAE he's technically correct :P
 
@FAE yeah, sometimes the best response is to close the tab and roll your eyes and move on :)
 
FAE
@BenBrocka See above
 
Hi, guys.
Hunh.
I have a comment from the same guy.
I'm... not sure what he's talking about in my case, honestly.
 
FAE
7:48 PM
@RavenDreamer o_O I have no idea either.
 
@RavenDreamer You're WRONG. That's obviously what he's talking about. You should try being less wrong
You wrongy wrong face
 
@BenBrocka Oh... oh yeah? Well... you lack arms!
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer Ooooo burn
 
@RavenDreamer How dare you make light of my people!
 
7:50 PM
@RavenDreamer well isn't that cute... BUT ITS WRONG
 
@BenBrocka My people lack both arms AND legs. What now?
@agent86 I think you mean "ain't that cute". If you're going for the Two Stupid Dogs reference.
 
@RavenDreamer probably I am. but I'm old and I make mistakes.
 
Didn't you hear? Only infallible people can be elected moderator. If you make mistakes, we'll have to kick you out now.
 
earlier I spelled happiness with only one P which yielded some... fascinating conversation.
 
FAE
7:52 PM
@agent86 Yyyyyyeah. Also grats on your PS3!
 
@Blem Doesn't look like he -1'd you like he did me and FAE.
@FAE He doesn't want a TV?
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer He -1'd my comment in spirit, apparently.
 
@RavenDreamer see, when I became a moderator, I gained infallibility. when I make a mistake, the fabric of the universe actually bends to correct itself in my wake.
 
@RavenDreamer I recall it being more of an "iddn't dat cute?"
 
@FAE thanks :)
 
7:53 PM
@BenBrocka AFFIRMATIVE
 
@RavenDreamer and nope
 
@agent86 No, you're right, or No, I didn't want a TV?
 
@BenBrocka I see that as a + actually
The more memory something takes the faster it will go
 
I need to test firefox and see if it's actually that...not-memory hungry now
 
7:54 PM
I found out I had a trojan
which was both the cause of my memory issues, and also what was causing random commercial sounds to play
 
I have a few gigs of RAM so no worries there :)
 
@RavenDreamer you are correct in your previous statement wherein you implied I was not interested in nor receiving a television set vis a vis the prize intended for my participation in the contest
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer ...what
 
@BenBrocka This graph hurts my head.
 
@FAE The weird part was, it was a Trojan that came from using Internet Explorer.
I don't use IE...
So I have no idea how I picked it up.
 
7:55 PM
@RavenDreamer Are there other kinds?
IE is like a security wall made out of Swiss cheese.
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer Obviously you need better protection. Ironic, all things considered.
 
@StrixVaria Trojans from downloading files and running them with admin access.
 
@RavenDreamer Seems like so much work when IE is so easy to exploit.
 
@BenBrocka I found throwing more RAM at it the best solution for the high memory usage of most browsers
 
@FAE ba-dum tish
 
FAE
7:56 PM
@Fabian ! You're no longer a galaxy!
@agent86 I couldn't help it.
 
@agent86 I'm still trying to decide if she meant to imply that she knew what kind of protection I used.
 
I haven't really had a problem, but low ram use is a good indication of efficient performance
 
@FAE I just used my Biology gravatar now for all sites
