...Hmmmm...
 
Jin
@GnomeSlice what game is that?
 
That needs to be pinned.
Or put in the room description.
 
@Jin That's at least the fifth time someone's asked him that. :P
 
@fbueckert At least the fifth.
Probably more.
 
Jin
6:10 PM
now I wish I didn't give all my monk gear away...
she's nekid now
 
@Jin I may have a few decent pieces I can let you have.
Not sure if there's a whole set there, but something respectable.
 
Jin
@fbueckert na it's cool. if i do start playing again, i'll be playing mostly on my DH.
i like the buff to the legendaries
 
@Jin Then what're you whining about? :P
 
Jin
@fbueckert well.. I do like to play alts from time to time.. :)
 
I want my WD to be my main rather than my Monk. I'm really excited about the changes to WD with this patch.
 
6:14 PM
@StrixVaria Yeah, making pets viable is a good thing.
I may have to actually play my Witch Doctor, then.
 
I wasn't using Zombie Bears anyway because I was tired of how they worked.
And I was still able to get through Act 1.
These buffs will probably let me start on Act 2 without any new gear.
 
Passed my last attempt on the way up, hah.
 
@GnomeSlice Navigation hazards are fun
 
Argh, I'm still slowing down...

Q: Most efficient "apartment complex" layout?

fbreretoI'd like to add an 'apartment complex' to a village to boost the population of a village. What's the best floor plan for such a complex?

 
6:24 PM
@Lazers Hmmmmmm
 
In reviews, there is a reco delete reason 'this is link only answer'. What should I do though, if it does answer the question and is also the only answer??

A: How do I get all facilities in Champions Road in PES 2010?

answerhttps://forums.pesfan.com/showthread.php?226507-Champions-Road-2010-Mission-guide-and-Skills-list

 
@Alok Delete anyways
 
@Alok It doesn't matter whether it's the only answer or not. It's still bad.
 
Link only answers aren't answers.
 
@fbueckert They do answer the question, they're just discouraged by SE due to link rot issues. In this case, the link works and there is no other answer posted.
 
6:27 PM
@Alok Doesn't matter
Link-only answers are not answers.
 
@Alok You could edit some information from the site into the answer.
 
Period. Full stop.
 
@GnomeSlice Yes I was looking to do that - and then I realized, the link does not answer the question! So I can nuke w/o worries ^_^
 
@GnomeSlice You may like this mod.
 
@fbueckert Have to disagree with you in this case. But then, I'm also fine with lmgtfy for really lame stuff >_>
 
6:30 PM
@fbueckert Autopilot? Peh.
 
@Alok Feel free to disagree. :) That user had a chance to fix his answer. He didn't. Kill it.
@GnomeSlice Once you can reliably get a rocket into space, this mod can help speed up the beginning stages.
 
@fbueckert As in, the launch stages?
 
@GnomeSlice Yup
 
'speed up' how?
 
@Alok Link rot is not the only reason we don't want link-only answers
 
6:33 PM
@GnomeSlice Take a look at the Ascent Autopilot in that screenshot.
 
The other main one is that such answers do not contain on the page the information to answer the question
 
If I didn't know any better, I'd say this was a practical joke:
 
@fbueckert It's still loading.
Oh, auto-warp to apoapsis?
 
@GnomeSlice Also allows you to set your desired heading.
 
@fbueckert Added my vote (3rd one) for the deletion, and a comment that it doesn't even address the Q.
 
6:34 PM
@fbueckert That's handy.
 
Which means once you graduate from orbital mechanics school, this mod can take the doldrums out of something you've done tons of times.
Of course, I suspect part of what it does is max thrust the whole way; in which case, I may not like it so much.
Heh. There's even a PANIC!!! button.
 
@murgatroid99 Certainly agree with that; as well as other issues like spamming SEO links etc. ... link rot is just the common factor cited in comments to such answers :p
 
@fbueckert Does it eject all of your kerbs?
 
@GnomeSlice I have no idea
 
This rocket is so funny.
 
6:36 PM
@Alok Because it's nicer than going, "Hey, dude, we don't like link-only answers. Fix it."
 
@Alok Link rot is the most obvious reason, but I would say that the most important one is that with a link only answer, the answer to the question is still not on the page
 
Oh I agree with both of you in general
and recommend such stuff for deletion
 
When I eject the first stage it immediately gets destroyed by the rockets from the second.

@fbueckert Have to disagree with you in this case. But then, I'm also fine with lmgtfy for really lame stuff >_>
Que?
 
Just got a bit confused in this case as I'd rather have some partially useful answer than none at all; but upon investigation that was not the case
@fbueckert In MSO, there's been talk of how people should not post lmgtfy links for idiots who ask super obvious questions. lmgtfy = let me google that for you (site)
 
6:39 PM
@Alok because even if someone asks a bad question, you still shouldn't be a dick.
 
e.g.: lmgtfy.com?q="what is diablo 3"
 
@Alok That's not was I was referring to.
First, you disagree with me, and now you agree with me.
You're contradicting yourself!
 
@fbueckert 'in this case'
 
I'M SO CONFUSED!
 
'disagree ... in this case' does not conflict with 'agree ... in general'
 
6:41 PM
@Alok you are claiming that this particular case is an exception? If so, why?
 
@murgatroid99 Ehh, let's drop it; its not an answer anyway
4 mins ago, by Alok
Just got a bit confused in this case as I'd rather have some partially useful answer than none at all; but upon investigation that was not the case
woot learnt to quote comments :)
 
@Alok I would prefer that we have the same understanding of the rules (especially ones as clear cut as link-only answers) before going out and enforcing them, but OK if you want to drop it then I'll drop it
 
Well, no big deal really - as I said; I prefer not to delete the last/only answer available even if it is crappy
Unless I am prepared to find/create a substitute for it
 
@Alok I would actually say that that is a good time to delete a bad answer because if there is an answer it discourages other people from answering and sets an example in a very visible way
 
...Hm... why can't I get this rocket into orbit any more...
 
6:45 PM
@murgatroid99 Hmm if you see a link-only answer on a question; it would discourage you from posting a better reply?
@GnomeSlice any more? you actually succeeded earlier??!
 
@Alok ...I've gotten multiple rockets into orbit...
 
@Alok I don't do this here, but on SO I am less likely to even look at a question if it already has answers because it looks like my contribution is unnecessary
 
@GnomeSlice I thought you were busy past couple of days with building a supergiant rocket that never took off >_>
 
@Alok I gave up on that one. Although it DID take off.
It just... didn't usually get very far.
 
@GnomeSlice Ah, nice. So back to your working designs then.
 
6:47 PM
Well... sort of.
 
I will def. try Kerbal 0.13 this weekend
 
I keep ruining them.
 
so I may have questions for you or @fbueckert
 
@Alok I'll be around, no worries.
 
@Alok I'm not going to be here for two weeks, starting this weekend.
 
6:47 PM
or make a kerbal tag >_>
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yum! Leftovers!
 
Y U NO ORBIT
 
@GnomeSlice Because you're yelling at a rocket rather than trying to figure out what's wrong with it?
Last I checked, rage is not an adequate fuel source.
 
@fbueckert I'm multitasking, okay?
 
@GnomeSlice And I'm snarking. :P
 
6:51 PM
@fbueckert Spite is.
 
Got this one into orbit before...
 
@OrigamiRobot You fill those tanks with spite, and let me know how it flies.
 
@fbueckert I run just fine.
 
The engines will choke and explode the instant you light them up.
@OrigamiRobot You're a crazy creepy children's toy.
 
@fbueckert I personally beg to differ.
 
6:58 PM
@RilgonArcsinh If anyone ever invents something that converts rage into fuel, we will become the most placid and self-sufficient planet ever.
And wars would end overnight.
 
@fbueckert but once we become placid and end war there will be no more fuel. And then we will start fighting again
 
@murgatroid99 Reciprocating cycle; siphon off rage until everyone's placid. Stop siphon. Repeat as necessary.
Or grab those people who have temper issues, jam them into a machine and call it a day.
 
@fbueckert that would make them angry
 
@murgatroid99 And thus, unlimited energy.
The only downside is that society will forget how to cope with malcontents, in the event they manage to escape.
 
@fbueckert that is a risk I would be willing to take
 
7:05 PM
@murgatroid99 The trick is to leave a few alone; we'll reduce the need for police, but not completely eliminate them.
Every utopia needs conflict in order to be a utopia.

Q: What are all the rewards for finding Stardust in the Legend of Dragoon

JonnyI am playing through legend of dragoon (for the playstation 1) and forgot how many stardust there are in the game. Additionally, would someone be able to provide the rewards for each amount of stardust collected? I think that there are around 50, and the collection of all of them unlocks a secret...

Q: Is the pinger really weaker at the back?

Dan HulmeIn the first Pinger battle, it's suggested that it has a weak point at the back, and you should concentrate your fire there. This is shown visually too, by the back parts being red, like other enemies' weak points. But when I attack later Pingers (in 'Soldier' difficulty), it seems that it takes ...

Q: Do air or ground upgrades work on vikings in ground form?

ThyseWhen you land vikings, do air or ground upgrades affect their attacks?

 
Anyone want to join me in MvM?
 
7:40 PM
O_o
 
@Lazers man, Legend of Dragoon. That was a great game. I might have to break out my playstation tonight...
 
@sjohnston Play a Square SNES RPG instead.
Even more retro.
 
I never had an SNES. I had the original, but I kind of skipped the SNES generation.
although I've played a number of those games later on
 
@sjohnston You've missed out on the golden age of RPG's, then.
 
LoD is nice because it's one of the few non-square jrpgs I really really enjoyed
 
7:49 PM
I'd recommend playing Breath of Fire or Secret of Mana.
 
My SNES is in my moms basement :/
 
@Blem That's a criminal waste.
I've got one hooked up to my 47" TV.
 
@fbueckert done and done. I've played many of the great games. I just lack the hardware to play them tonight, at my house.
 
@sjohnston Do you have a PC?
 
wheras my original playstation is in my basement...somewhere
 
7:50 PM
If you've got a computer, emulation.
It's one of the only reasonable ways to play old SNES RPGs now.
Unless you're lucky enough to find someone who'll sell you one for an affordable price.
Which is rare.

Q: Looking for a good game sale aggregator

fbreretoI'm looking for a site that polls all the big game sites (Steam, Origin, etc.) and lists the games that are on sale. I'd like to be able to sort by e.g., name of the game, price, etc. What are some good sites out there for such a list?

Is this not a site recommendation-type question?
 
@fbueckert I thought there was some disagreement about whether we wanted to get rid of those
 
oh, actually, I could play secret of mana on my iphone now
 
@murgatroid99 Sounds far too close to shopping recommendations; there's no way to provide a concise, complete answer.
@sjohnston Try Ogre Battle. It's not out for iPhone, but it's phenomenally good.
 
@fbueckert I'm not really sure. I think there is some difference
 
okay, okay. I didn't intend to solicit a list of games to play. My list is already quite long enough in relation to my available free time.

Q: Are questions asking for non-game recommendations off topic?

StrixVariaThe specific question that brings up this issue is asking for a recommendation for a game-based website. From the answers it's gotten so far, it seems to have all the same issues as game recommendation questions, yet no one is voting to close it but me. Do we not extend our recommendation rulin...

 
@RonanForman Sure, if it's still possible.
 
@UQAllulloo You're like a second too late, Kevin just joined.
Litterally.
 
@RonanForman :P No prob

Q: Installing Regnum Online on Ubuntu?

Shedo SurashuI downloaded Regnum Online from this page. I'm fairly new to ubuntu (or Linux for that matter) so please bear with me. I just installed Ubuntu a day or so ago and went looking for an MMO for it. Eventually Regnum Online never left the list of top MMOs for Linux so I decided to try it out. Fast fo...

We should enter.

Also 'Best Original Universe' is in no way related to TF2 since all of the content has to be original.
 
I think you're allowed to use TF2 models and such.

Reads to me like all models have to be original
 
That seems difficult.
 
user30
Indeed. Actually, that reminds me of a project I wanted to work on.
 
@murgatroid99 @JQAn closed it. I'm guessing it doesn't meet the criteria of an actual, concrete problem.
 
user30
Has anyone else played MvM yet? I've just installed a new PSU in my computer so I'm up for a game later if anyone wanted.
 
@ThomasMcDonald I'm trying to play it now.
Although steam is crashing.
The wait times are atrocious.
Unless you have your own server...
 
8:09 PM
@ThomasMcDonald I ain't waiting half an hour to play freaking TF2.
 
I'm probably going to be recording this weekend for a game on!, you should play then.
I feel like I should thank SE for our server again.

A: Are there any keyboard hotkeys for any of the commands (clickable buttons) in the Build a Ship Screen?

RobertNot that I know of, designing ships is one of the most interesting part of the game. Shields are the most useful. Beam weapons are better than missiles(heavy fusion is my choice) I have won using just missile weapons but using missiles is best done to handicap your game. The faster your ship th...

"Nope, but here's some unrelated advice that's loosely connected to part of your question!"
 
8:25 PM
@fbueckert lmfao. some people... i swear.
 
@Ender That was your question, too.
 
i knoew
I'm still hoping for an answer on that one too.
I may just say screw it and search extensivly for an online pdf manual somewhere. I'm sure there's one someplace.
 
@Ender Just play a different 4X.
MoO2 is really old now.
 
So? I like it.
If you can recommend a SIMILAR newer 4x id be glad to try it.
 
@Ender I'd say Space Empires V.
 
8:27 PM
I found MoO to be unique among 4x games
 
@Ender How so?
 
it had qualities i never found again. IE: the 'orion' factor, so many races, the ability to customize your own race
Granted I havent tried a massive number of them...
 
@Ender I haven't played MoO 2, so I don't know what the 'orion' factor is.
SE V allows you to create your own race, or use one of the AI ones.
 
the idea of a perfect planet somewhere in the galaxy, placed somewhat randomly, with a guaurdian of sorts protecting it
 
@Ender Ok, that, I don't know of any other 4X that has that.
 
8:29 PM
yea that was most of the fun of the game imo. hence 'master of orion'
 
Mostly because most 4Xs nowadays allow you to terraform your planets into utopias.
 
you could do that in Moo as well
but taking orion had other bonuses as well
generally you could take it before you had the tech to turn your planets into the same thing, also taking it awarded bonus techs that you couldn't otherwise get, and a few somewhat random free techs
it also gave you diplomatic influence
and a handfull of other privliges
 
@Ender SE V has "ruins". Colonizing planets with ruins gives you a chance of unlocking tech trees not available any other way.
 
its a big deal in the game, taking orion. it doesnt gaurantee victory, but it helped ALOT
Thats pretty cool
Moo also has kind of a nostalgia effect for me. See I played the original MoO when i was like 7-9 years old, and spent YEARS trying to find it again (couldnt remember the name)
 
@Ender Yeah.
 
8:32 PM
when i finally did i was soooo happy :D
 
@Ender Its not really same category, but if you liked MoO you should also like SC2 (or rather, you'd play Ur-Quan Masters now)
 
then I found out about a sequal and pretty much messed my shorts
I play SC2
Starcraft 2?
Amusing that you mention that, because it was my search for MoO that led me to the original starcraft
 
At the race creation area, you have a certain number of points to allocate towards bonuses for your race. This is the only way to unlock some specific research trees. Granted, they cost a lot, but they were usually worth it.
 
Ok, thats not starcraft. What game is THIS?
 
@Ender No, Star Control 2
 
8:34 PM
@Ender Still SE V. :P
 
Pkunk, Zoq Fot Pik, Mmhrhmmm(sp?), Chenjesu ... lots of varied alien races
 
If you don't mind just controlling yourself at first, the X series is great for power buildup.
 
Warning: their website color scheme is horrible
With games like MoO, MoM and so many other old classics - I really wish one of the many sinking studios would stop trying to write the latest POS sinker, buy rights to good games and just 'remaster' them for latest hardware keeping same gameplay
 
@Alok Why would they do that!? Everyone knows all the money is in gritty first person shooters!
They even re-made XCOM into a first person shooter!
/sarcasm
 
@fbueckert Also railroad 'rpg' games! (Hellgate >_< ) though it somehow worked out for FF 13 :p
 
8:40 PM
Star Empire 5? I assume?
Space Empire, you said that. Disregard.
 
@Ender Space Empires V. :P
 
Ill give it a try sometime. Can't afford new games atm sadly, but you've piqued my interest
 
@Ender I'm good at that. :P
 
Candidate for coolest new legendary item: "Puzzle Ring (Ring) - This ring gives heroes a chance to summon a Treasure Goblin when they’re hit. The tooltip will be something along the lines of: "This ring sometimes calls forth a Treasure Goblin when you are hit."
 
8:49 PM
@bwarner A blue posted that.
Treasure goblin during Belial! Get it!
 
Yep. That's pretty sweet.
 
@bwarner Watch. One of them summons Diablo to fight for you.
"Hi, Prime Evil! Meet my buddy here. He's the Prime Evil."
 
@Ender Have you tried Gal Civ 2?
I've just been playing it after the Steam sale. It has customizable races, customizable ships, random events, etc

Q: Installing XBox360 Game with already saved games on it

OldSchool56So i'm playing through Skyrim and just now realized I can install the game to my hard drive - if i do so, will i lose my saved games?

@GnomeSlice Be happy they did not decide the color scheme for the game hehe. The actual game itself is fun if you want to try it; though ofc. keep any graphics expectations really low ;)
 
@Ender Soul Calibur 2? :P
 
@bwarner +1. Also, on wikipedia: Stardock (creators of GalCiv) expressed interest in acquiring rights to MoO and making a 4th sequel :D.
stardock makes nice games so I'd love to see that happen!
 
@UQAllulloo There's now a place free if you want to play.
 
@RonanForman k, sure
 
Jin
anyone else lives in Raleigh NC???
 
9:10 PM
@UQAllulloo Server password is arqanoid
There's a second place too if someone else wants to play.
@ThomasMcDonald Do you want to play?
 
@Jin You could check this map.

Q: How do you mute another player?

In the previous versions of counter-strike (source) you could bring up a player list by hitting escape and selecting that player and hitting the Mute player button. However, I ...

 
@Lazers Easy. Find a baseball bat, aim for throat, and let fly.
 
@fbueckert This seems a little violent.

Q: Is there a video anywhere showing Skyrim's voice actors as they're acting out their scripts?

oscilatingcretinI was searching YouTube for videos showing Skyrim's voice actors as they're acting out their scripts. It was pretty cool, but there were only a few and I'd like to see more, especially some of the more generic voices like the male and female guards and also that one guy who did the voice for Far...

I don't like this question.
 
@fbueckert Uh... this is way too specific. Too localized.
 
@GnomeSlice It would only apply to a small subset of the internet, yes.
 
9:39 PM
Behold my mighty Go-Kart!
The only problem is that it seems to fall apart rather easily... I guess the game physics aren't set up for objects to move over terrain that isn't as smooth as the runway
@fbueckert and now the same thing as the debris from before
it's showing my old go-kart in the water there.
 
I see your go kart and raise you a "Holy shit, what the hell is this!?"
 
@fbueckert Did I show you a picture of my first plane, lol.
It's not as big as that though... wow
 
@GnomeSlice I don't think so.
 
It looks like something out of Star Wars:
It rolls over on the runway. It sucks, horribly.
 
Are there seriously no room owners around?
 
9:47 PM
@GnomeSlice This massive sucker can fly. IF you can get it enough speed to get off the runway.
 
I'm trying to figure out how to get my Go-Kart to turn more sharply...
The turning radius is like 50 km
probably more
Or less.
It's big
I dunno.
To get it moving you have to retract the gear on the runway, and then extend it again
Or it doesn't move, dunno why
Uh oh.
Yeah, the game can't handle vehicles travelling over terrain very well, it falls apart arbitrarily.
 
10:17 PM
Trees!
Fuck, I crashed it.
I'm trying to get to the mountains, but it keeps falling apart...
 
Isn't the name of the game Kerbal Space Program?
 
@YiJiang Well... yes.
I built a Go-Kart!
A... rocket powered one.
I don't think the game physics are set up for wheeled vehicles going anywhere but the runway
it keeps falling apart
 
Gee, John the Green is trying to talk to me in Spiral Knights, but I'm still to much of a noob to know how to respond...
