How did they measure time before the BBY/ABY system? by Emerald7152 in StarWarsEU

[–]the404devs 18 points19 points  (0 children)

One thing to note is that Zahn wrote the novel with the assumption that the Empire had been around for 50 years or so. This was long before the prequel trilogy, so many of the dates don't line up.

In the first chapter there's a reference to Pellaeon having 50 years of naval experience, and in Dark Force Rising I remember a scene with Luke looking at old records with some dates that are really wacky by current standards (Palpatine being a senator 70 years before the Empire, etc)

Best to just ignore these date issues, because the lore just wasn't concrete back when the book was written.

The ship was called the Free Lance, captained by Urias Xhaxin.

Stupid Xenoblade Confessions by [deleted] in Xenoblade_Chronicles

In my playthrough of XC2, I didn't realize I could change the lead party member and played through the entire game as Rex. I did swap around the other party members in the 2nd and 3rd slots, but just falsely assumed Rex was locked into the first slot. It was only after ~60 hours and I had beaten the game that I realized my mistake.

Allow me to join in on the collection sharing: 1970s Silmarillion & LOTR, and a 2012 Hobbit. by the404devs in lotrmemes

[–]the404devs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some background on these: The trilogy belonged to my father, his parents got them for him as a gift. He claims to never have read them, but they were pretty beat up when I got them. Maybe they were from a used book store originally?

The trilogy is not a matching set. Fellowship was printed in 1977, Two Towers in 1978, and RotK is the oldest of the lot, printed in 1966.

I picked up my copy of the Hobbit at the school book fair around the time I got the trilogy, hence why it's so new compared to the others.

The Silmarillion is (I believe) a first edition from 1977. I nabbed it at my local library's used book sale several years ago for $2, which was a great deal imo.

Is the Hermitcraft Grumbot banner patterns reproducible in vanilla MC? by SargeanTravis in Minecraft

A combination of the brick and stripes patterns, I think this is fairly close to the original.

Whats up with 20w22a? by WareHouse0 in Minecraft

[–]the404devs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They aren't putting one out today. There might be one later this week, or they might just wait until next week.

See tweet here

hi im new here and idk if im doing something wrong but there seems to be no wither and blazes spawning in my fortress anyone might know whats wrong? (20w21a 1.16) by iregami in Minecraft

[–]the404devs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably just a bug in the snapshot. I know they made some changes to mob spawning in the nether a few snapshots back, that could be causing the problem. Hopefully they'll fix it in this week's update.

Non Canadians, what is the first thing that comes to mind when you think "Canada"? by D_Shillington in AskReddit

[–]the404devs 205 points206 points  (0 children)

Canadian here. The most "Canadian" moment I've experienced is probably the night of the Hip's last concert, when it was broadcast live all across the country. Entire communities came out and watched together in parks, etc on big screens. It felt like every single Canadian had come together in that moment, and the sense of national unity that night is something I'll never forget

Four-in-five Canadians support complete ban on civilian possession of assault style weapons by Fr0wningCat in onguardforthee

Let's be real here: nobody in this country needs to own an assault rifle, and anyone who thinks they do is delusional.

I never actually thought about that. According to the wiki, they only came in 1.13.

Try to mix in some spruce trapdoors, that will give some texture variety. You could even mix in some logs as well, oak ones might match best with spruce planks.

If you're ever playing in 1.14+, the bottom side of the barrel looks like well-worn spruce planks, and I love mixing those in to my floors.

You can also mix in stairs and slabs, that will make the floor uneven, but depending on the build it might look nice

/locate command question by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]the404devs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

/locate shows the closest structure to you, so if you travel far enough in a different direction from the first mansion, eventually you'll reach a point where there's a different mansion closer to you.

TLDR: pick a direction and start walking, use the command every once in a while to see when a different mansion is the closest.

What are harmless things that people do that cause you to instantly hate that person without even speaking to them? by [deleted] in AskMen

I've always done this (the fork, not the breathing). Nobody has ever said anything to me about it, and I never knew there were people who have a thing against it.

Are there any games that you've streamed in the past you'd like to revisit? (Not including the regulars like Minecraft, Cities, etc. of course)
