Q: What is the fastest way to find information about a given version of Minecraft?

Baskakov_DmitriyFor various reasons, I still use the 1.7.10 version of Minecraft. Before you accuse me of piracy, the reasons are: There is a huge list of available mods and plugins, some of which were not recreated for later versions. The game has drastically changed since later versions (like the new dual-wi...

I watched a random video from that dude in suits who reviews fast food yesterday and was laughing way too hard.
But I'm not sure if he intends to be funny or if it was just coincidence that video.

@Unionhawk Play dcss
@Unionhawk you can even play it online!
@StrixVaria Also I had my best run get ruined by Killer Bees last night. It was miserable. I was on floor 7, level 8. I ended up running like a coward from this one floor filled with 4 uniques. It was horrifying.
I ping you since I think you played DCSS briefly?
 
@StrixVaria that's what incognito mode is for
 
you can also purge them from watch history
 
1:49 PM
@Unionhawk This is my solution for random crap I don't want any suggestions based on.
Also: youtube cleaned up most of my account when I tried to set up things so I can upload under something that is not my own name. So it wiped my subscriptions and watch history for some unknown reason.
 
@Arperum Do you have more than one channel? You should be able to switch between them.
 
@bwDraco The account I had was connected to a specific email, I added a channel to that account. And that somehow wiped all the things.
 
Click on your user icon on the top right.
 
Not at home, not logged in on youtube.
 
@Wipqozn I haven't really played in a while, but this is my best result:
 
1:54 PM
Also: isn't user icon in the top right?
 
Brainfart. Fixed.
(jet-lagged)
 
IIRC if I did that, it only showed the current channel thing.
 
@Wipqozn Just everything is wrong about that bracket.
 
@bwDraco I realized after my death I had +4 Quarterstaff of Chaos too. I got it from a unique, but I didn't realize it had a +4 on it.
 
Crazy Yiuf?
 
1:57 PM
@bwDraco Yup
I never equipped it so I didn't realize it had +4. I never put it on since I was sketchy on "random shit happens"
I was playing as a mage, so not like I was punching stuff in the face all that often anyways
Especially since I got really lucky with anice ring of magic power at the start, so it doubled my MP pool
 
2:17 PM
omg you're playing dcss
 
Heh.
 
@Wipqozn Killer bees are the worst
@Wipqozn Online is the best way to play
Especially if you hang out in the ##crawl channel at the same time
I'm so happy other people are playing DCSS
 
Oh.. Work filter hasn't blocked this one.
 
2:34 PM
@Wipqozn I played it for a while like 5 years ago.
I should get back into it.
 
I played it a lot for a while
 
@StrixVaria Yeah I just got the sudden urge for some roguelikes recently. My main one was ADOM back in the day, but I wanted something more focused on just dungeon crawling. ADOM has a whole overworld I didn't feel like bothering with.
DCSS has a default tileset too, which is actually proving really helpful. First time I've done non-ascii.
@SaintWacko I've been playing offline since the UI is better
The online client UI isn't as good
 
@Wipqozn Ah, I've always used tiles
@Wipqozn Do you use mouse interface?
 
@SaintWacko back when I played ADOM I was pure ASCII
@SaintWacko No, keyboard only.
 
@Wipqozn Hm, same here
How is the offline client interface better?
 
2:38 PM
@SaintWacko the desktop client has information on your inventory on the right, and all your known spells.
I think there's a couple other small things too
@SaintWacko The worst thing is I had a ring of poison resistance too. I just didn't put it on :(
I had a ring of protective and ring of magical power on. Didn't realize how badly they poisoned. IT all happened so fast!
I should probably give the online interface another go though. It's nice to be able to just pick up and play my save game from anywhere. Plus that little chart you got there is pretty nice.
In fact I was playing online at first, but then I tried the desktop application and saw it added a few things
@SaintWacko I'm having a lot of fun with it. I wanted something which was just a dungeon crawler (aka no overworld), but that wasn't as reliant on dying to random shit like Nethack is.
 
@Wipqozn Ah, that's right
It's been a looong time since I've used it
@Wipqozn Ouch
@Wipqozn Yeah, killer bees move fast, and they come in packs, and they hit fast
@Wipqozn That's what I like about online, I can just play anywhere. I can even play from my phone!
@Wipqozn In my opinion, DCSS is the best roguelike out there
 
I pretty much only ever played as a Minotaur Berserker and did meh. Then I tried an Orc Cleric and did amazing until I got confused and accidentally attacked one of my orc followers and then I had like 35 angry orcs surrounding me and I didn't last long.
 
@StrixVaria Oops
Also, @Wipqozn, are you familiar with the learndb?
 
Still not sure what to do if confused surrounded by allies who will turn on you in an instant.
 
@StrixVaria Wait?
That's what I do
 
2:50 PM
I thought you still might attempt to "move" while waiting, and if you "move" into an ally you "attack" them.
 
@StrixVaria Ah, no
As long as you're just waiting you'll hold still
 
And "5" is wait, right?
It has been a long time, I forgot most of the keys :(
Hey, I found my old account on crawl.akrasiac.org.
I wonder if I can change my password.
 
If I can increase the size of my dropdown terminal by one line I could play crawl in it
@StrixVaria 5 is wait until something happens or 100(?) turns
. is wait one turn
 
Oh right ok.
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, I used CAO before it went down
Switched to CBRO at that point
Now it's up again, but my account doesn't seem to be there
 
3:06 PM
@SaintWacko don't believe
 
@Wipqozn IIRC there's limited mouse support on WebTiles, but I don't play on the online servers.
Most commands still require keyboard input.
 
@bwDraco There is, but I never use it
 
(fiddled with an internal WebTiles instance on one of my cloud servers)
 
I just use keyboard. The offline client just has some additional things displayed.
 
You can find pretty much any information about dcss in there
Oh wait
No, here's what you want
That's a search interface for learndb
Also, if you join the ##crawl irc channel, which is a lot of fun, you can just type ??[topic] to search the learndb
And there are other triggers like the ?? that can get you information on monsters or items
 
3:18 PM
@SaintWacko thanks!
@SaintWacko might do that
Sounds like @SaintWacko might boot up dcss again :P
@bwDraco that's cool
 
@Wipqozn I really want to now
It's so much fun
 
@SaintWacko I really like the class and race variety
I mostly just play casters, and there's a lot of variety
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, and there are some really interesting races
Octopodes are fun :D
They make good casters, because they can wear eight rings
I also enjoy playing an Octopode Enchanter
Kindof a magic assassin
 
3:39 PM
Wait wtf when did they remove maces aptitude from gargoyles?
Oh also, @Wipqozn, when you're searching the learndb searching [topic] reasons can give other useful information

HElp meIm in pocket edition and when I set an always active command block but instead of getting near it, it teleports me when I am far away so I can't get near it to change it and I don't know the coordinates and since I cant get near it I dont know the coordinates Help me to know the command Thanks

Q: Unable to update Minecraft native launcher

CamdenMy Minecraft was working fine until now. Whenever I open it, it pulls up a tab that says downloading native launcher it tries three times and then another tab comes up saying unable to update the minecraft native launcher. I've tried so many different things but none have worked.

 
4:13 PM
@SaintWacko Why are you playing in a terminal? Can't install it on your desktop?
 
@Wipqozn I like to play online
But I'm also at work so I don't want to pull up a whole webtiles :P
Putting it in my dropdown terminal makes it easy to pop out of the way
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I really need to get back to playing again. I might just give up on my current run.
 
user15026
(Boris is not as fun as I thought)
 
@SaintWacko ha, that would do it
@SaintWacko Yeah I might switch back to online
 
4:38 PM
@Wipqozn I like it because a) I can pick up the same game anywhere, b) it stores data on my games online, c) the online bones, so you can run into other people's ghosts
And other people can run into your ghosts
So LadyWacko and DameWacko and I have been rewatching Firefly
And the other day we were trying to decide who we each resembled from the show
I decided that as much as I wanted to be Mal, I was probably Wash
LadyWacko is kinda a cross between Jayne and Simon
 
@SaintWacko oh noes
 
DameWacko is like Zoe
@Yuuki It gets better (worse?)
Halfway through the next episode, I have a sudden realization
 
How much of Firefly have you personally watched?
(And the movie)
 
"Oh, crap. I'm Kaylee, aren't I?"
@Yuuki All of it and the movie
It's been a long time, though
I've forgotten what happens
Which is fun
 
oh then never mind
 
4:41 PM
@Yuuki I think we last watched Mrs. Reynolds?
 
I was about to make a joke that was movie spoilers.
 
But yeah, DameWacko and LadyWacko both agreed that I'm a cross between Wash and Kaylee :P
@Yuuki I've seen the movie more recently. Haven't forgotten that one
 
"How do Reavers clean their spears? By running them through the @SaintWacko." doesn't quite roll off the tongue.
 
Which actually works, since the pairings are Wash <-> Zoe and Simon <-> Kaylee
@Yuuki Haha
 
@SaintWacko I wanted to like that show.
There were episodes I did like, primarily the ones that dealt with the main plot with River. I didn't like the one-off episodes where everything was resolved within the same episode it was introduced.
That's the same reason I didn't like Fringe overall.
I would have been all about that show if it didn't have 60% useless episodes.
 
user15026
4:53 PM
I wanted Firefly to be more than it was
 
user15026
I think it just didn't find its feet yet
 
user15026
Like it was decent, I had fun with it, but I just...I wanted so much more
 
user15026
(also the whole "there's lots of Chinese influences but no Asians" realization has kinda soured things)
 
Or even people who look believably part Asian.
Also, why Cantonese?
 
@SaintWacko you should really just refer to the three of you as "the adult Wackos"
 
5:00 PM
Saint, Lady, and Dame. The Downton Wackos?
 
user15026
Sounds fancy :P
 
I guess "Saint" doesn't quite fit there.

Amitai NachmanyThe badge Curious involves getting a 5-day positive question streak. I have done that. Here's a screenshot. You can see I've completed the badge. Its meter is filled. What happened?

 
hmm... is this a prototype? It's basically done just, needs "hey user, does this look good" "yes" "cool because this is done"
I guess I can call it a prototype and say a closer to finished version can be done like Friday

hey bridge, just asking, does anyone have any recommended cloud providers? Preferably one that doesn't ask for 42usd for 500gb (stares at ovh), has upgradable storage etc (stares at hetzner), has reasonable prices overall (stares at DO), and one that is reliable (stares at online.net and scaleway)
 
5:10 PM
@Ave i like google cloud
cheap enough for my purposes
 
Ave
I was looking at gcp actually
 
much better names and documentation than AWS
 
Ave
that said I used gcs before and it was one of the worst experiences I ever had
 
What was the problem?
 
Ave
5:11 PM
even after following the instructions etc, I couldn't get it public or smth
In the end I ended up switching to s3 or whatever aws calls it
 
On the web interface, at least, there's a button to share individual files or entire folders publicly
 
Ave
last time I tried it failed so
I might make an investment and get my own server tbh

I mean 5651 still applies to me even if I host abroad so...
 
5:49 PM
5651 is content regulation?
 
Ave
yes
also just went through it again
might need to apply for storage providing license tomorrow uuughhhh
whyarelawsthisbad
and I'll need to dox myself amazing
because transparency requires them to put my name, number and residential address on a site, yay!
 
The wiki entry on it seems to infer it's pretty strict.
 
Ave
it is!
 
A lot of the content responsibility seems fairly normal, though I admit, anything that facilitates crime against Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is oddly specific.
 
Ave
I'm apparently supposed to ensure that everything is legal and legalese is so dumb
like, I literally can't go through everything in time lol
we get around 300 uploads per day on this service
 
5:56 PM
Youtube is banned, Wikipedia is banned. Wow.
And the government group that put together most of the rules, Presidency of Telecommunication and Communication (TIB), is defunct.
 
Ave
It's literally easier and less risky to transfer the whole service over to someone else rn
but yeah new hosts etc, wouldn't be easy to find
 
this is your meme server?
 
Ave
This is my file server
 
@SaintWacko @StrixVaria Are you both going to be playing some DCSS again?
 
Jeez. The rules for content provider and host provider are nuts. And you're responsible for every last thing visible on the web.
Even user content.
 
6:02 PM
@Maximillian wew trying to set up a secular government only for everyone to turn around and build a state quasi-religion around you
 
Oh no you don't want me, you want my cat. He's in charge of everything now.
 
Ave
@Maximillian it gets worse
obscenity is banned completely
and like, when you make me responsible to ensure that everything is good
then it becomes sort of problematic
 
And the definition of what is offensive is determined by this one government office.
"Presidency of Telecommunication and Communication (PTC)"
 
Ave
yeah, everything is blocked. fun stuff.
 
Out of country VPNs must be popular.
 
Ave
6:06 PM
yup
I might consider giving over full control of the service to our frontend dev now
or... y'know... I might ignore the law.
not fun
I just love it when law requires me to get licensed but when all stuff I can apply for are centered about website hosting
btw the part of license that i need to sign is basically "hey ok if I don't follow law I can get fined from 10k to 100k ok"
and theoretically it's not binding bc I'm underage but I am still allowed and required to apply for license
 
Sounds somewhat typical. "You agree to follow the terms, laws, and conditions for hosting."
Which gets the provider leverage to show they weren't liable for offending content.
 
Ave
honestly I feel like getting a license is just going to cause more troubles than not getting a license

@Yuuki we have an organ whose purpose consists entirely of spreading cancer?
yeah @TimStone got the better joke

@GodEmperorDune It's what compels you do things like play LoL or check your Twitter feed.
 
@Wipqozn Unlikely but not impossible.
I have a lot of other stuff going on right now.

It's a substantially distinct game mode with different rules.

Also, maybe explaining then when the main tag would be used would be good

Q: Revisiting the Dwarf Fortress tags

FrankA few years ago, we had this question: Do we need a separate tag for Dwarf Fortress adventure mode? Since then, we've made a number of changes to how we handle tags, especially in the area of organization for platforms. I brought this up in chat, and have gained acceptance for my modification t...

Yeah, I did.

Because if there are two modes (battle royal and save the world) is one considered teh "core" game and then battle royale is not? Or would we need one tag for each

@Frank Fair enough, but that's somewhat orthogonal to the current game discussion.
 
@Frank Funny story about LoL Dominion. It no longer exists.
 
If the mechanics are substantially different, I don't really see a problem with an additional tag. But let's not create them willy nilly.
 
user15026
(Although we can potentially reconsider such things, if people want)
 
Now that I'm really really thinking about it, Fortnite BR still operates under roughly the same mechanics as Fortnite Not-BR.

I'm not opposed to making this tag separate for Fortnite, but like...meta is slow, because we want to give people time to weigh in, that's kinda what it's for.
 
Gunplay is the same, the base building is also there...
 
@Ash I know. It was more a side point about how fast we move for multiple tags for games.
 
It's just an arena deathmatch game instead of a horde survival game.
 
@Frank Wow, I don't remember this argument at all

@Yuuki Are there enough differences that it would make questions confusing if people weren't explicitly clear about the game mode?
 
@Ash I think it depends on the question being asked.
 
user15026
Fair enough. I don't know this game at all so I can't judge the merit which is why I keep asking questions

Q: Steam doesn't show Workshop download for certain game (M&B:W)

PlanetAlexanderI've been trying to install a mod from the Workshop on Steam for Mount and Blade: Warband. However, when I click subscribe, no bar at the bottom shows a download in progress. When I go to the downloads screen, the information at the top says Steam is downloading something, but doesn't at all show...

 
I haven't played since before they released BR and I'm extrapolating based on my experience with PUBG.

@Ash I'm looking for the meta question which was specifically about sub-tags. I found this question, but it isn't exactly about the topic: gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/7148/…
 
user15026
There might not be a canonical "this is how we do subtags" meta
 
I would be in favor. Even though both are accessible from the same client, they both play quite differently and have different mechanics (projectile dropoff, different weapons, different items and stats, etc). Plus it's led to confusion on at least other question (*cough* mine *cough*) before. — Mage Xy yesterday
 
user15026
yes, I saw the meta.
 
user15026
But he's saying that they're not all that different, which seems to be at direct odds to that comment
 
user15026
(and one comment does not a definitive decision make)
 
9:57 PM
@Ash It is very confusing to browse the Fortnite tag solely because the set of items is different. I can't use Arqade as a resource for the game like I usually do since I don't own the 40$ PvE mode and can't always know for which mode the question is.
