@Ash I feel the gaming community has a general tendency to not take things seriously as a whole, with a problematic bent towards not taking things seriously especially when they should.
 
@Yuuki amazing
 
user15026
@Yuuki very much so
 
I wonder how much of it is an outcome of cultural norms treating gaming as a childish hobby one is supposed to grow out of.
Not that that's an excuse.
 
user15026
That's likely part of it, yeah, the justification

Q: Do the egg colours mean anything?

AshIn past Yoshi games, the different coloured eggs meant something - red ones gave you health, yellow eggs gave you coins, etc. I don't seem to notice anything like that happening in this game, though. Am I just somehow not noticing the effects? Do coloured eggs have effects in this game?

Q: Which Pokemon have a special animation when running with them out of their pokeball?

king14nyrWhen selected to be let out of their pokeball, most Pokemon will simply run beside you. However, I've noticed that some have special animations. e.g. You can ride on the back of Charizard and Haunter as they fly, you grip onto Snorlax's belly and your movement basically controls him stomping arou...

Q: ENDER DRAGON PAUSE

Lackof_CommentaryYTSO basically whenever i summon the ender dragon with a command or a command block he stays still and is untouchable. this lags out my windows 8 garbage PC and i need help. this wont happen in the end. This glitch appears whith or without mods. on singleplayer multiplayer and realms worlds. help?

 
1:48 AM
@Ash is crafted world good? I've heard good things so far which is surprising based on the track record of past Yoshi games that aren't Island
 
@Yuuki gotta love when you're told that your hobby is childish and you should just grow up, by people that spend 80% of their free time watching cable TV
 
2:08 AM
@Ash extremely good piece

@Unionhawk I like it. It does make you repeat levels to find things but not in a bad way. It's a little trickier than past games, at least for me, but it's pretty fun
 
user15026
I like it better than the last one.

Q: How to not die from lasers in Syndicate 1993 on Sega Mega Drive (Genesis)

nmit026In the later missions the enemy agents are armed with lasers that can kill your agent with one shot. Worse, sometimes they take out more than one agent with a single shot when you have them in group mode. When this happens all the mods and weapons your agents were carrying are lost. I never had e...

The /r/Games subreddit is closing down for April Fool's to call attention to the toxic content in the gaming community and how the moderators of the subreddit won't stand for it. Really impressed to see this. https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/b7ubwm/rgames_is_closed_for_april_fools_find_out_why_in/

11:38 AM
And you get kicked out with the message "Flying is not enabled on this server"
I hope this humble monthly gives me a nice game
 
@Ash I think there are very interesting discussions that can be made regarding the "Git Gud" mentality, but I think the crucial point is whether a game's difficulty can and should be part of its identity. I've heard good arguments from both sides and I'm not sure where I stand on that particular matter
 
12:05 PM
@Moacir Aren't half the games revealed ahead of time at this point?
@Wrigglenite I always think back to Celeste as a really challenging game that also really accessible.
From the core of their level design, to how B Sides and the post game are implemented, to settings like game speed, Celeste is a quite hard game that you can easily make just difficult enough for you to get that feeling of accomplishment.
Which is really what all games should strive for I think.
 
Yeah loads of people have been saying that Celeste is basically a perfect example for why the "but it would ruin the accomplishment" argument is bs
 
@Memor-X better not be, I use light
My father enjoys gaming but he can't handle much of a challenge. He's passed on tons of games cause they were just too hard for him to enjoy
 
@BunsGlazing sounds alot like my dad
he shys away from most of my JRPGs because they look hard

My dad is still kinda confused on the legality of steam and humble bundle...

@Kevin "legality"?
 
Yeaaaah, he's not quite sure if it's legal
I'm blaming old
 
But...why wouldn't it be?
 
Fuck if I know
Because Grid 2 was free, and also pay what you want things?
 
@Kevin isn't that itch.io?
 
Humble bundle also has that on the bundles

Werent her corgis dead and she decided not to breed them anymore or something like that?
 
@Moacir i thought she still had them
awww, poor things
looking it up, she has no more corgis but still has 2 dorgis
 
My mother has a Pembrooke Corgi, which I think it is from the same the Queen had
He is kinda heavy, but small, so he jumps on your knees and you usually lose balance

@Memor-X I hate myself (and you) right now
 
@MBraedley you click on it before you even read the last bit didn't you

@Memor-X its Monday!
 
@Memor-X Last bit of link. I thought it was a genuine Valve April Fools video.
 
oh no monday
why
 
@Memor-X tbh I really want this to happen
 
1:58 PM
@Wipqozn I too want friday to happen
I don't want to wait another 4 more days for it!
 
I'm just excited for tonight
Root and pizza
 
@Wipqozn Just dont use a square cup
 
Spotify replaced their discover weekly today with disco remixes of stuff you normally listen to. That's awesome.
 
@Wipqozn I got a normal discover weekly AFAICT.
 
Same, though tbh it's not like there's a lot of disco remixes of metal and folk-rock
 
2:05 PM
@InvaderSkoodge The normal one can still be accessed, which might be why
 
user15026
@Kevin rude of it, to make us wait so long.
 
My first one was a disco remix of Tchaikovsky piece

Q: How long do I have to wait to get new skins?

MoacirWhen you play a game with unknown signals enabled, from time to time the game will generate a vessel or "thing" that emits either a weak signal or a strong signal. The time for this things to spawn are server defined, so this is not the focus here. However, when you press the button on this spaw...

@Yuuki Oh, is this the official April 1st thing?
/u/Shitty_Watercolour is probably proud
 
2:45 PM
wew dual headphones is now set up
 
@Yuuki Explain
You have two headphones with only one ear each?
 
@Moacir I have earbuds plugged into my work machine and over-ear headphones to my phone.
 
Or do you have 4 ears
Oh
OK
4 ears would be more interesting though
 
Given that it's April 1st, I'm going with the 4 ears explanation.
 
@Moacir Sounds like it could take awhile.

HE DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE A AARDVARK
 
@MattE.Эллен Does anyone really know what an aardvark looks like?
 
Aardvark's do not exist, and if they do, they only exist on Acre-Brazil(Which also does not exist)
 
"2.102×10^6 minutes" doesn't quite roll off the tongue, especially when you need to pay rent.
 
@Yuuki like a defenceless armadillo
 
2:51 PM
@MattE.Эллен So... an armadillo on the side of the road?
 
or a kangaroo pig
 
It really is unfortunate that one of the armadillo's primary defense maneuvers is to jump three feet in the air when frightened.
 
@Yuuki ready for eating
 
Puts it directly in the striking range of a Ford.
 
@Yuuki It helps armadillo baseball though

4:31 PM
@InvaderSkoodge The good news is that it's for questions only, so the front page isn't affected.
The bad news is that you can only disable on a per-site, per-device basis.

I got TSA'd hard and hoo boy did they get hella ??? over me being trans
basically the metal scanner beeped on both my first and second passes on second security point
so they had to scan me with the tsa grade transparent scanners (proscanner 2 or smth)
and that machine has a pink button and a blue button. and hoo boy did they not know what to pick.
result was basically uh, they flagged my earrings
esb security is weird. they even have me take out my belt.
 
Huh.
 
Ave
no airport in istanbul requires me to take out my belt or my earrings

@Yuuki Btw, when is your laser tag?
 
It was last Friday.

How was it?
Did you play Ride of the Valks
 
I ended up not going through with it (inserting a third gender option) because I didn't want to chance ruining laser tag for everyone.
 
But did you go at all?
 
I also ended up checking my phone at the desk so I wouldn't break it running powerwalking around.
 
@Yuuki WOW. I would be really scared if that happened with me

Also some frog species!

I hear Thailand has some of the best surgeons in the field but there's a pretty well-known horror story in professional League of Legends involving people really not doing their due diligence.
That's... an interesting cast.

Q: Village Validation Distance Criteria

200EthanQuick question, but I was wondering why my villager breeder isn't working, and I may have found a reason. My villager breeder is <64-or-so blocks required away from my iron farm, but my iron farm is high in the sky, making it more than 64 blocks away. I know that euclidean distance is calculated ...

 
8:40 PM
Unless there's a duplicate lying around somewhere.
 
8:52 PM
General beats specifics in arqade?
 
What do you mean?
 
In the question you just fixed, it asks specific for Fritz, but in the question mentioned in the comments (asked by @Ash btw) has it in general
 
@Moacir In the case for this game, the general mechanic applies to all marriage candidates.
(i.e. Fritz does not behave differently from other marriage candidates)
 
So in the case the more broad/general question beats this one, making it not unique enough for having both, hence duplicate?
 
Yes, I think this is a valid dupe although I think the target answer can be improved.
 
8:57 PM
Got it
 
@Moacir It's not about broad vs specific per se, and more that the answer to one question already completely answers the other question
 
Fun fact btw, I think I never used hence before, and didn't know what it meant, but I've seen it used at the context I used, and it seems I got it right! (Now I know what hence means)
 
Hmm... it appears that my phone is ignoring my Do Not Disturb settings.
Either that or having headphones connected means it doesn't bother Do Not Disturb.

Toonie for size reference. The smallest black piece (which I didn't even know came off) and the inside of the black screw thing's base were filled with stuff. I almost thought it was like machine oil for a minute or two but it was just thick ass nasty resin
I used the poker and hot water to clear most of it
