Crayta is free on Stadia until the Nov. 25
No premium needed
 
(I haven't been setting goals but I'm hoping to get to 128 again this year)
 
12:51 AM
@ToxicFrog My CS degree is showing, since I think that's a nice round number
Gosh darn powers of 2
 
It is a nice round number, that's why I picked it

@Batophobia wasn't Stadia premium being given away for free now anyway?

Q: Passive mobs not spawning in already-generated chunks

pilotjoker999I played on a Minecraft server and generated some chunks for the first time to build a base. Mobs spawned in the newly-generated chunks, but after a while, they stopped spawning. Only hostile mobs spawned. I then built a mob grinder and no hostile mobs spawned in there, and I even double and trip...

Q: Besides the video game and Nine Inch Nails box set, what is HALO-IV? How does it relate to the testing of ICBM interceptors?

uhohNear the end of the Raytheon Technologies YouTube video Missile Defense Agency completes unprecedented homeland defense test can be seen what looks to me like thermal infrared footage of a ship-launched ICBM interceptor doing what it's supposed to do. I thought I would search for "Halo-IV missile"...

hoping that this is also fine
 
@uhoh I don't know why you're linking this here, but sure!
You really shouldn't go around spamming your question in random chats though, although space missiles is as cool as it is terrifying.
 
@Wipqozn thanks for the feedback! I'm thinking that it's possible that someone here will know if the similarity of the name of the game and the usage in thermal infrared image of something in space is just a coincidence or there is something more to it.
I disagree with your characterization of my link as spamming
 
@uhoh The halo name is just because the game has some ringworld things, so they called it "halo" because angel halo. I think.
 
so I've learned exactly what I'd hoped to by posting here, thanks! :-)
 
1:59 AM
@uhoh Tbh it would've seemed less spammy if you led with this. Basically if you're going to drop a question into a chat that's not of the parent site, it's a good idea to just let people know why. Some folks will just hit up 5 or 6 random chats dropping their question in just to get attention to it, which is pretty frowned upon.
Which is exactly what I thought you were doing before you followed up.

Q: How do I evade earthquake attacks from bosses?

NissaI've seen an attack in a lot of the bosses where the boss slams into the ground and creates a shockwave. It wouldn't be much of a problem to dodge, but the problem is that I get flung in the air and have no control over where I land. I've learned to dodge single shockwaves by using the ice hat to...

Q: What are all the passive weapon effects in COD: Cold War (Zombies)?

DpeifI noticed that some weapons have a passive effect when you Pack-a-Punch them. For instance, the Gallo shotgun has an explosive ammo effect which sometimes triggers on melee. What are all the weapons that gain an effect besides increased ammo / damage when Pack-a-Punched (and what is that effect?)...

@Wipqozn I disagree with the guilty until proven innocent doctrine applied to non-regular users and try hard not to insta-label them as destructive before at least introducing myself and asking a question, but to each their own.

Q: How does one tell what gender a Fallen is?

sayuIn a lot of the Destiny lore, there are a number of wiki pages that talk about each prominent Fallen member's gender, like if they are male or female. Mithraxx is a male, Eramis is a female, etc. But what isn't clearly explained is how we know these prominent members are male or female. With Er...

Q: "Reprimanding" users in comments

BenI recently stumbled across this comment: Aren't you the one who tried posting a answer to my "should I pick doom shroom or cherry bomb" question and got your response deleted?

Q: kill player who is bottom of scoreboard list sidebar

In my code the person with the lowest score is at the bottom of the list if that helps in any way? I'm playi...

 
Just reposting this here for spreading news. Apparently there are already reports of bricked PS5 consoles due to a bug that corrupts the internal storage and makes the console unable to boot up. Some reports claims this may be tied to Rest Mode, so disabling it --may-- help reduce the chances of the issue happening. Also it seems that the issue already happened to some Youtubers who received preview units.
I don't have any way to check any of this other than random news on the web.... Anyway, take care if you planned to buy a PS5 now.

@Derpy lol. either you've already pre-ordered or waiting until next year for there to be more stock

@fredley For a second I thought you posted this in TIF
 
@Memor-X if that is how the first stock is going to be for a while... I would say that waiting out is the best option right now

Apparently the hitman devs are making a 007 game
 
oh is that what the announcement was?
That seems pretty cool, actually
 
> Project 007 (working title) is a brand new James Bond video game to be developed and published by IO Interactive.
> Featuring a wholly original Bond story, players will step into the shoes of the world's favorite Secret Agent to earn their 00 status in the very first James Bond origin story.
Sounds cool
 
3:21 PM
Ooh, interesting
 
It's very pre-production now, the page also mentions that they're presently recruiting for the project
 
@Unionhawk I'm slightly worried. 007 is not exactly known for stealth, and Hitman is not exactly known for thrilling chase sequences and bombastic shootouts
Like, if you're going through Hitman trying to kill everyone, you're playing it REALLY wrong
 
Idk it feels like a solid fit to me
We'll see in like 4 years or whatever
woo the clue scroll fix is in for the league finally
They made it so if you drop a clue because it's in an area you didn't unlock, it doesn't reset the steps completed count
Before you'd have to "juggle" the clues, since the steps completed count includes clues on the ground that haven't despawned yet
Now you don't have to juggle
which is good because clue juggling is awful and I hate it

I just saw this:
> "The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special" (Disney+): Spoofing the legendarily bad 1978 "Star Wars" holiday special, this animated hour celebrates "Life Day" -- and 40-plus years of cinematic history -- with the characters from the most recent trilogy.
PLEASE GOD NO
 
They need something to distract everyone from the fact that they've just arbitrarily decided they don't need to pay authors royalties no matter what the contract says

StyxsksuHow optimized will your team have to be to beat a team rocket leader with all under 1500cp pokemon? I barely beat them with a standard team.

Q: Will PS5 play DVD / Blu-ray at 1.5x speed with audio?

Mark KnutsenMy PS3 does a neat trick that my other DVD players can't: it can play back DVD or Blu-ray discs at 1.5x speed with (sped up) audio. This thread at Reddit seems to imply the PS4 has the same feature. What about the PS5? Would an owner confirm or deny, please?

Q: What is the imitater useful for?

It says it lets you use 2 of the same plants in a single level but I don't know why I will want to use 2 of the same plants in a single level because that will just waste a seed slot. What is the imitater usef...

I already know some ways to do this but they are not easy to use or near perfect. 1. My first idea was to simply switch gamemode to spectator and then back to survival because i ...

This is so weird. We had someone on BCG with no other site activity comment on an answer to a random MTG question, arguing vehemently that MTG is entirely off topic on the site, despite the fact that it's the most popular tag there by literally a factor of 10.
 
Are they trying to start a new MTG SE site?
 
Elite Dangerous is free on Epic this week
 
@PrivatePansy No, it was very much "MTG isn't a real board or card game, so it doesn't belong here", and they didn't really elaborate much on their reasoning
 
How is MTG not a card game? It's literally a game played using cards
 
CDPR released a gameplay trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 with no gameplay in it
 
8:01 PM
@Batophobia I'm not entirely sure, but I think their position was that only games played using a standard 52 playing card deck counted
 
So if there is a standardized definition for the "Card" part, what's the standard "Board"? Only chess and checkers?
 
@Batophobia As I said, they didn't elaborate much, but I think it was going in that direction.
 
It clearly fits within the scope of board and card games. As far as I'm concerned, it's a board game that has the distinction of having no board, just cards and tokens.

10:45 PM
@murgatroid99 That's like saying Belote isn't a real card game because you play it with 32 cards instead of a full deck
Even though Belote is probably one of the most popular card games in the EU. It's like the Texas Hold 'em Poker of the EU.

This means it should at least have biomes that are (in order of importance): Tropical Grasslands (6 plants require) Temperate Grasslands (3 plants requ...
