Terry ChiaGold is very essential in the game. Tier 3 cultural sets cost over 100g. Many other stuff also requires a large amount of gold. What are some good methods of earning gold fast for a level 80?

@RonanForman Still feels masturbatory to me. I'll stick to mostly asking questions "based on actual problems that I face" (as per the FAQ), not ones I already solved. :)
 
@MartinSojka Well, even if you solved the problem yourself it still was an actual problem you faced
 
@YiJiang Yes, but then I can as well see if anyone else has the same problem and asks the corresponding question. If not, the problem was clearly too localised (.. to just me).

Q: How to fix "forceav" commands in skyrim?

AnonymousA few weeks ago I found out about console commands. So I started playing around with them. I changed speed, size, things like that just to mess around. They usually didn't last through saves. Then I played around with my level, just to see what it would be like to be "all powerful" using a forcea...

 
@AshleyNunn I'm still fiddling with isometric X/Y co-ordinates. I get that done, and my glorified picture mover is done; then I build the classes for each game.
 
user15026
@fbueckert Very cool!
 
2:34 PM
@blem I must have THIS!
 
@AshleyNunn I made one for Harvest Moon:DS way back when. That was easier, because I didn't need to fiddle with isometric values.
 
user15026
@fbueckert Seriously? That's really sweet.
 
I banged out the original version in a couple hours, instead of doing my college assignments. :P

@AshleyNunn The KS one will be slightly more complicated, as I want to add in the combo compatibilities and whatnot.
 
user15026
@fbueckert That would be so wicked cool if you could get it all worked out
 
@fbueckert Are you making a game?
 
@StrixVaria Nope; just making a program for all the Kairosoft games out there, to help you plan your layout.
 
2:43 PM
What is a "Kairosoft game"?
 
user15026
Would it work for things like Pocket Clothier?
 
user15026
@StrixVaria O.o
 
@AshleyNunn If I knew the compatibilities, yes.
 
user15026
2:44 PM
@fbueckert Rock on
 
Oh I played Game Dev Story. Ridiculously addictive.
 
@AshleyNunn It'd be more complicated, because you can have different floors, but I don't foresee that being all THAT hard.
 
user15026
@StrixVaria All their games are SO good
 
user15026
@fbueckert Dooooo it
 
@AshleyNunn Hot Springs Story is the proof of concept. :P
 
user15026
2:46 PM
@fbueckert Good choice - I have a lot of problems with that one
 
@AshleyNunn It's also the first of their facility management games. :P
 
user15026
@fbueckert I find it and Pocket Academy very tricky
 
@AshleyNunn I also figured out how to save the whole thing as a picture, which gives you an easy way to save and upload pictures of what you plan.
 
user15026
@fbueckert That's brilliant
 
2:49 PM
@AshleyNunn The hard parts are the pathing bits, where they change based on if there are path parts beside them.
 
user15026
@fbueckert Right. The fact that you can think of how to make all of this work out is pretty awesome in my book
 
@AshleyNunn Brain that never stops problem solving, remember? :P
 
user15026
@fbueckert Right :) Now it all makes sense.
 
@Blem Can I get these in my town?
 
@fbueckert It seems like a lot of tweaking would be required for each game, especially with the combos. Like how in Edo Towns you can combo with something 5 squares away, but most of the other games require the buildings to touch or be 1 square apart.
It does sound like a fun project
 
2:53 PM
@sjohnston And that's where base classes come in. Tweaking required, sure, but I don't see it being that hard a thing to solve.
 
user15026
@Blem This is the coolest thing ever. :D
 
The hardest part I've run into with just the picture moving bit is picture transparencies; it's surprisingly hard to get those functioning properly.
Saving the picture was an offshoot of solving that issue.
 
3:05 PM
I may have to continue working on that one today. Hopefully manage to bash it out this evening.
 
Has anyone here finished FFIII?
 
@JasonBerkan Japanese numbers or American numbers?
 
Japanese.
 
That's one of the ones I came closest to finishing. I think the only Final Fantasy game I ever actually finished was V :( I'm bad at finishing games.
 
You should work on that
 
3:08 PM
I just defeated Xande at the end of the Crystal Tower, only to find out that the game is not over. Reading some guides it sounds like my party might suck for the actual final battle, so I'm wondering if I should restore and train up or not.
@StrixVaria I'm also bad at finishing games, which is why I'm making a concerted effort to go back and finish a bunch of old ones from my childhood.
 
@JasonBerkan Isn't fighting Xande a point-of-no-return, that automatically advances?
 
I finished Pool of Radiance last week!
@GraceNote Yes, but I have a save from before I entered the tower.
 
Well, that's your only option, given "only save outside"
 
@JasonBerkan This is why I never finished FFVII. I went to disc 3 and wasn't strong enough to finish the game and didn't have a backup save.
 
You can still fight in this last area, if I'm not mistaken, there are still enemies
 
3:10 PM
That's why I now always have a backup save.
Or twelve.
 
That said, I beat it with an unorthodox party that wasn't particularly overlevelled
What is your party?
 
@GraceNote So just level up until I'm out of elixirs?
 
@JasonBerkan I'd... save the elixirs for the final battle, I mean, no better time to use 'em, right?
 
@GraceNote At the moment they are all Lv. 59. Ninja (27), Dragoon (77), Black Belt (43), Sage (6).
 
Hrm. I don't think there should be major issue with that team.
Though the Sage is a bit underlevelled in his job
Personally, I'd say "Go for it", unless you're the type to whom Game Over is unacceptable to ever see, but if you're considering reloading to begin with, might as well get a personal taste for what's coming up, right?
Fact is, if it all fails, your time will have been wasted to begin with, but reloading without even trying means your time is more wasted. At least by trying, you'll get a hand on what the fight is like so you can prepare better when you do reload. Or you'll succeed and invalidate the need for reloading.
 
3:18 PM
@GraceNote Game Over isn't unacceptable. I just like to avoid replaying large parts of a game. But since I'm in that point already, may was well go full speed ahead, like you say.
 
In my experience, charging forward still works. I beat FFVII with Cloud only having Climhazard, and with Cait Sith on Dice and Vincent on only his second limit. I didn't do any sidequests because at that time, I didn't even think twice. Or realize that I was really in the last dungeon. Weird as it were.
 
3:56 PM
@GraceNote Doesn't that kind of spoil the game?
 
@badp This is in a time where the end of the game was the end of the game. No such thing as post-game or New Game Plus.
So, no, I don't think that telling someone who knows that the final battle is the next battle, that they should use the items that otherwise do not get used in the final battle, is a spoiler
 
It's like when I played Quake 2 and saved ALL the quad damages, ALL the invulnerabilities and ALL the BFG rounds for the final boss. After been given the opportunity of cheating my way out of any encounter in the entirety of the game, I do that on the final boss
and I'm this invulnerable guy doing four times as much damage as the BFG normally does on this boss that really can't do much but hide or push me around maybe
and sure, the developers accounted for that and made sure you couldn't quite kill him before all of your goodies combined expired (it's not like I collected ALL the secrets along the way!), but you still feel like you cheated out of the apex of the game.
I mean spoiler in this sense. Not the plot sense.
Then again, if you only have two battles ahead of you then, duh. Sure. Use 'em up.
 
Well, fact is, if you already made it this far with that equipment, it's yours to use
 
(Valve just posted that, I have no idea what's in it.)
(oh god that... keyboard thing. ugh.)
(lol, the link at the end brings to a 404.)
 
@badp It seems much better than having to navigate a whole QWERTY or alphabetical keyboard.
 
4:03 PM
@GraceNote Yeah, it's just this idea of keeping all the goodies till the end. You might as well not have them.
 
That takes the piss.
 
@RonanForman I've never had the misfortune of dealing with that.
I've been considering paying €80~ on a kindle but... yeah, dpad + keyboard + e-ink refresh rate is what's been putting me off.
 
@badp It's existing resource management I'm recommending, not hoarding.
 
@badp I don't keep all of the goodies until the end. Too many deaths in roguelikes where I could have used an item, but did not.
 
@badp Try writing the word 'hello' on your keyboard using one finger. And also moving through every key to get to the next one.
 
4:06 PM
@GraceNote It's okay, I'm sorry. I just wanted to argue with you for a while. Like we did in the "old times." :D
 
Every day I use Sharepoint, I come up with another reason to loathe it.
 
@badp Heh, those were good days, weren't they?
 
@GraceNote I didn't suppose you've been having worse days since then.
 
But now I put on my game(dev) face on so I guess I'm supposed to be more serious now
 
Just... different days?
 
4:06 PM
@badp Nah, I've had pretty good days. Mostly relaxing.
The past being goods days doesn't discredit the present being good days.
 
Sounds better than dealing with Sharepoint at any rate.
 
Hah, true that
 
@badp ANYTHING is better than dealing with Sharepoint.
 
@fbueckert I'm happy to take your word for it.
As for Big Picture I think this is another instance of Valve re-earning their favourite Corporate Achievement

Q: Where can I download PCSX plugins?

Shedo SurashuWhenever I do a search for PCSX, I kept getting results for PCSX2. I want to play old school PS1 games with my brother using the PCSX-Reloaded emulator but we're having trouble getting the Twin USB Josytick controller to work on the current controller plugin. Where can I get another one?

 
@GraceNote Every time I try to do something new with Sharepoint, I run into yet another anal limitation of it. I'm hating it more and more.
Heck, I've run into two different showstoppers today alone.
 
@fbueckert This sounds like exactly what I was going through. 90% of my job was "Making SharePoint do what we want it to do" instead of "Using SharePoint to help setup stuff".
 
@GraceNote Yup. I'm almost to the point I want to just chuck the whole thing out the window.
And 95% of the time, you don't know about the limitation until you run into it.
Stupid BS marketing.
 
@fbueckert We're currently implementing SharePoint in the cloud and from the sounds of it, running into all sorts of issues. Makes me glad I'm not responsible for that stuff, though I keep getting asked about it...
 
@JasonBerkan First mistake: using Sharepoint.
Literally ANYTHING is better than it.
 
4:16 PM
hi there
 
@fbueckert It's a 5 year upgrade (don't ask) from an old version of SharePoint that we ran in house. And I may have to refrain from saying more, since I use my real name around here.
@lurscher Greetings.
 
@lurscher Morning
 
hi Jason, hi fbueckert
i was wondering if anyone knows or remembers a game (3rd shooter or rpg) where the action takes place inside a generational interstellar vessel
something like fallout (not necessarily dystopian, but likely for drama) but in space
 
What system was it for, when did you play it?
 
@StrixVaria I think he's just looking for a game rec, not an ITG.
 
4:19 PM
@JasonBerkan Oh.
In that case, Jet Force Gemini I guess.
Kinda.
 
StrixVaria, yeah indeed as Jason said, just a recommendation
the first bio shock i think it was in a space station
 
@lurscher ? Underwater city, actually.
 
ah indeed, i'm confusing the title
dead space makes an excellent space shooter, lot of action in zero gravity, something in that mood could work
 
@lurscher Technically the Might & Magic series takes place inside spaceships, but they probably aren't what you are expecting / looking for.
 
@JasonBerkan Those turn-based games with fantasy creatures and such?
 
4:27 PM
@StrixVaria Yup. In the first one (the ancient DOS game), you are actually inside a spaceship.
Sort of a spoiler, actually.
 
That's strange. Is it a simulation in a space ship or is there actually like a giant biosphere in the spaceship?
I don't care about spoilers really.
 
@StrixVaria Giant biosphere inside a spaceship.
 
It doesn't seem like it would have any relevance to the gameplay or anything.
Like it's as relevant as when Rowling said Dumbledore is gay. Why even bother?
 
yeah, i'm just interested in the art and representation of the vessel
 
It has plot relevance late in the game. Like in FF1 when you end up fighting a robot near the end and you wonder, WTF?
 
4:32 PM
@JasonBerkan I have a lot of trouble trying to play FF1 because it's so unforgiving.
 
ah, isnt some of the final fantasy games happening inside such a vessel?
or is always some planet?
thats a good one
 
@StrixVaria I've never made it past said robot.
 
@StrixVaria Most of the backstory of any given game(-world) isn't really referenced directly in the game (Elder Scrolls series with their extensive in-game libraries being the prime exceptions, but those libraries are 99% optional), it's just "there" in the design documents and brains of the designers. It's role is to make the world itself more coherent and avoid inconsistencies.
 
@fbueckert Sooo the best way to get money in Dungeon Village is to force your villagians to go into the shop eh?
 
So, yes, it is relevant to the gameplay, just not in the direct in-your-face way.

@James Yeah. You won't be hurting for money later at all, but that's the quickest way to get the income requirements.
 
@lurscher Using Google on Moby Games turns up two generation ship games - both are fairly old, though.
 
@fbueckert Yeah I am trying to get to that third star sooner.. Its a bitch... Like you can go year 2ish and get 2 star rating but 3 stars can take another 7 years.
 
@James Indeed. Remember that the requirement is for straight up income; expenses play no part in it.
 
@fbueckert YupYup.. PS: I have gotten net incomes over 90k FYI :)
 
@James In this game? Isn't that higher than the absolute max required?
 
5:40 PM
...My Sharepoint site is so close to the DB file size limit that I can't even delete stuff from it.
 
@MartinSojka I don't know anything about the M&M universe so I'm going to withhold any more comments about that, but even background information that isn't explicitly stated still has an effect on the gameplay or experience. A coherent world is important for a coherent experience. Having this vast fantasy world in a spaceship doesn't (on the surface) appear any different than having a vast fantasy world that is just what it seems. That's all I meant.

@GraceNote I'm writing an answer on Arqade; I should've just chosen my words more carefully. Basically, there are indeed many people who wish we could pass the buck on bad/trivial lore questions, and I personally think that SciFi would lap them up do well with them, but I shouldn't have said that there are many here who would see that SciFi get them, because I don't know that
 
@JasonBerkan I'm exercising a muscle. The one that consciously lets go of the rage, and makes me stop caring about it.

HunterSo, apparently I'm the first with this problem; I assume so because I've yet to find any mention of this particular bug. I started this quest on a bit of a rough note as it is. I had to leave the jail and re-enter to get Sinding to even approach the bars. But once he did, all went well. He gave ...

Okay, now that I have tested it - anyone want a free copy of Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum? I have some Gamehouse coupons that are good for it.
 
@AshleyNunn PC?
 
user15026
@fbueckert yeah
 
@AshleyNunn I'd take one; you can send it my way via Steam.

Cool beans, will do
 
user15026
@fbueckert done, with lengthy explanation. XD
 
hey guys
 
@AshleyNunn Wee for walls of text!
 
Hey Pureferret
 
user15026
@fbueckert Haha, I just always forget how it works. So I am like "try this thing, or this thing, or this thing."

@Pureferret Heya :D
 
@AshleyNunn Yo ho
 
Hey guys!
 
@spugsley Yo
 
So just randomly for your information - Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. You can get involved by having a conversation with someone about suicide even though it's an uncomfortable topic.

Hug your loved ones, tell them they're beautiful and important, and be happy they're alive. <3

@spugsley I actually texted like everyone I know today telling them awesome things about them because of it being WSPD today
 
@AshleyNunn that makes you awesome <3
 
user15026
@spugsley I just figured it was a good excuse to be like PEOPLE I KNOW, YOU ARE ALL SUPERFANTASTIC.
 
More ideas - compliment a stranger; sit next to someone who looks lonely and start a conversation; update your social media outlets with messages about suicide awareness
 
@spugsley I would probably just put something on my FB that says, "Hey, morons. Don't kill yourself. That would make me sad. You don't want me to be sad, do you?"
 
@Blem Eeheehee

:)
 
@GnomeSlice That IS sorta how landing on Mun works. Many things to think about, and lots of luck thrown in, too.
 
@spugsley As much as I support this cause, it feels awkward to only have one day spent on this subject matter.
 
user15026
@GraceNote Yeah - it is definitely one of those conversations that need to happen all the time.
 
@GraceNote A lot of people say that....but having a specific day often leads to conversations that wouldn't otherwise happen. That's how I look at it. Any way to start a conversation
 
Yeah, but unless knowledge of that day is spread, people who need it don't hear about it. It's just like I fundamentally disagree with the concept of Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and Father's Day because I don't need some designated day to treat my loved ones.
 
7:32 PM
Lol, someone used my music in a flash animation
Heads up: It's terrible.
 
@GraceNote and even if one person starts spreading knowledge beyond that one day, then the day was worth it. In my opinion anyway
 
It just feels weird to have "Okay, today talk to everyone about this actually very serious topic that is important to talk about. Once midnight passes, go about your normal daily lives as if yesterday wasn't anything special".
@spugsley I'd rather a better campaign to increase awareness at all times. Having only one day and telling people to just use today seems too halfway for me.
 
@GraceNote okay then don't. I'm not trying to start an opinion war. This is a subject I feel strongly about all the time but since today is WSPD, it gives me an excuse to be more annoying about it then usual.
 
@spugsley I always think about it, don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to silence you, rather the opposite, I just feel that having some "designated day" feels like it constrains the promotion of awareness. Basically, you shouldn't be more annoying today because you should be as proactive on any other day as you are today.
(Compared to other things I could be hearing about on a daily basis that I've already heard, I'd much prefer something of actual importance than a daily rant of not liking a specific game that has been repeated every day)
 
user15026
I like that this is a starting point for people who might not have this discussion otherwise. To me it is like any other awareness campaign.
 
7:46 PM
This is a pretty glum conversation. Let me lighten it up a bit.
I got engaged last week! :)

Congratulations! I thought you were still in college!
 
@StrixVaria That's awesome. Congrats!
 
@GraceNote Nope, I'm 3.5 years out of college :P
 
@StrixVaria That is awesome, indeed!
 
I am pretty excited, and it also explains why I haven't been around a lot recently.
 
7:48 PM
@StrixVaria Huh, I really am out of the loop
@StrixVaria This is perfectly acceptable reason
 
@StrixVaria Congratulations! I have to say, marriage is pretty fucking awesome :)
 
@spugsley I hope so.
 
user15026
@StrixVaria Oh awesome congratulations of awesome
 
Thanks all!

Q: Can we do something about suggested edits that say "edit: actually, do this and this instead"

ResorathFor example: http://gaming.stackexchange.com/review-beta/suggested-edits/8472 The proper way to do this edit would be: to correct and refactor the answer with the correct information or create a competing answer instead, and downvoting the incorrect answer. The behaviour I am targeting is e...

 
...Wait a sec...
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice How did they get it in there?
 
@AshleyNunn Beats me...
 
user15026
Brute force, I guess.
 
Isn't that the wrong cartridge shape?
 
8:02 PM
@GraceNote That looks like an N64 cart.
 
> It a European snes with what looks like a counterfeit zelda ooc n64 game shoved in there
[sic]
 
@fbueckert Yeah at first I was really confused, and it made me think "Zelda isn't even Nintendo!" Then I got even more confused.
I'm OK now though.
 
@StrixVaria ಠ_ಠ
 
@GnomeSlice Don't worry, I gave myself a stern ಠ_ಠ face.
 
user15026
@StrixVaria gives you the sternest of wtf no faces

@GnomeSlice thats it exactly
 
@GnomeSlice You! You need to land on Mun.

go away stupid blue circle! You taunt me for no reason!
 
8:11 PM
@GnomeSlice Hehe, I just want that Castle Story Prototype! :D
 
Woo, just got a three game bundle for free! I had enough credit in my account from buying games in the past.
The poor stay poor, baby!
DUNGEON DEFENDERS DOWNLOADED
 
8:29 PM
@GnomeSlice That's a fun game.
Don't play online, though; hacked items are rampant.
 
@fbueckert I've had it for like a year but never managed to get it downloaded.
 
8:42 PM
Bah. The more I use Sharepoint, the more I hate it. Getting it to do ANYTHING is an exercise in frustration.
 
user15026
8:56 PM
@GnomeSlice This looks early Zelda-esque, like Lttp or somesuch
 
9:15 PM
My word, @GraceNote is alive!
 
You do that often nowadays, Wipqozn
 
You're away a lot, so whenever you return it's a huge surprise.
Unless you mean I've also been less active around here, in which case that's true. Scumbag Guild Wars 2.
 
Not a lot. Just sometimes.
 
9:40 PM
 
@fbueckert I was going to get that game until I saw there was a GameStop exclusive pre-order bonus. Now I couldn't be less interested in it.
 
@StrixVaria Almost every AAA game has a Gamestop exclusive nowadays; there's almost no way to avoid it.
I figure I'll wait until it's 50% or more off in a Steam sale before I get it.
 
I really want XCOM: Enemy Unknown. I don't think I'll get anything until that comes out.
Unless I buy GW2 on a whim one day.
That might happen.
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, I really want to see if they manage to pull it off.
 
9:53 PM
It looks really good from the previews so far.
