9:00 PM

Ugh I hate laggy chat

@kalina Eh. I can survive a couple days on a sub-optimal chair. Besides, after it's no longer the primary gaming chair, it gets relegated to light duty for TV watching.

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka One of us could supply the materials for the lures from our other worlds

badp

@kalina I like the part where you think I'm so chained to my desk, I didn't go replace my chair before reporting back

kalina

@badp well, did you replace your chair before reporting back?

badp

yes

kalina

9:02 PM

I'm not sure I want to live in a world where you're that organised

fbueckert

@badp If my chair at work breaks, that will be fun. I've been asking for a new one for a while.

kalina

@fbueckert break it on purpose, threaten to sue for injuries caused by them not replacing it

fbueckert

@kalina You do that for bad workplaces.

Ben Brocka

@badp You have backup chairs?

kalina

@BenBrocka I was thinking this

badp

9:03 PM

@BenBrocka Turns out I don't just have 1 chair in my house

kalina

@badp really? You have more than one chair in your house?

are you currently sat on like a dining room chair or something?

badp

@kalina yes! Isn't it amazing?

@kalina yes.

Ben Brocka

I only have one that would be suitable at a desk. I don't have many tables

kalina

I have 5-6 other chairs, I wouldn't want to sit at my desk on any of them though

badp

Do you have exceedingly fancy desks or..?

kalina

9:06 PM

no they're just the wrong height, not adjustable, don't swivel, etc

badp

@kalina I'll just have to deal with it until I get a replacement.

kalina

how can you deal with a chair that doesn't swivel? I spend literally an hour a day spinning around while thinking

badp

the height is okay

@kalina This was the only swiveling chair I've ever used for any length of time. Swiveling was only peculiarly fun to do when the cat was on the chair

Coronus

@kalina The swivel is annoying but those are the only chairs that I can scoot in easily...

badp

So in the span of a few days my monitor's adapter broke, my Nexus 7's monitor broke, my chair broke... who's next?

OrigamiRobot

9:10 PM

@badp YOU

Coronus

@badp I'm broke.

badp

@Coronus Sucks to hear :(

Ronan Forman

@fredley I think my map is done, it could do with testing though.

Coronus

@badp Wait, Your Nexus 7... the screen?

badp

@Coronus Yeah

kalina

9:12 PM

@badp I am blaming the user

Coronus

@badp I'm so sorry.

badp

sec

Coronus

@kalina I would blame Google. Their 4.2.2 update ruined badp's screen

nods

kalina

@Coronus uhuh, yes, a likely story

badp

I had a picture that pretty clearly showed the problem

SaintWacko

9:14 PM

@kalina 4.2.2 ruined my screen

badp

...I can't find it anymore

SaintWacko

my lockscreen, at least

kalina

@SaintWacko he said "broke", not "ruined"

SaintWacko

@kalina Er... No, he said ruined

Oh, we're talking about different messages

kalina

I thought that was pretty obvious, what with us linking different messages

SaintWacko

@kalina Well, sure it's obvious after we link the messages

OrigamiRobot

snip snap!

badp

SaintWacko

9:17 PM

@OrigamiRobot Before, it was considerably less obvious

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy I'm a Tortoise, give me a break. We're not very fast.

kalina

that looks like a line of pixels misbehaving

I am the expert on misbehaving pixel

badp

Kalina will now explain to us how a user can cause this problem

SaintWacko

@badp No freehand circle. Downvoting

kalina

since I misbehave all the time!

OrigamiRobot

9:17 PM

@Wipqozn turtle*

kalina

@badp obviously you was using it in bed and fell asleep on it and/or dropped something on the screen and/or when your chair broke, it went back in time, and broke your screen

badp

@SaintWacko I sent this along with the warranty information. I thought they may not appreciate my soul a lot and think the weird red circle is part of the defect

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot chelonian*

@badp Oh, okay

badp

@kalina false and/or false and/or false = false

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko viola*

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot fiddle*

Coronus

@badp That's true.

kalina

@badp definitely looks like user error either way

@Coronus 10/10 for parsing

OrigamiRobot

I agree the second one should be, but agree with @OrigamiRobot regarding the third — kalina 55 mins ago

kalina

@OrigamiRobot stop reminding me of my moments of weakness

OrigamiRobot

YOU SAID YOU AGREE WITH ME YOU CAN'T TAKE IT BACK

StrixVaria

9:20 PM

@badp Do you not like rainbows or something?

badp

@StrixVaria Not when they have seizures as I tilt the device

kalina

@OrigamiRobot I was presented with the choice of "agree with @fbueckert" and "agree with @OrigamiRobot" and took the lesser of two evils, don't make me regret it!

StrixVaria

I would post a rainbow seizure gif but that would be bad for people with epilepsy.

fbueckert

@kalina I wasn't aware that I was the source of all evil.

kalina

@fbueckert I never said that

fbueckert

9:21 PM

@kalina The implication was there.

Wipqozn

(language warning) Bill Burr explains why Yoko Ono sucks

kalina

@fbueckert erm, I clearly pointed out two different sources of evil in that sentence alone, how did I imply that you were the source of all evil?

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert That's a lot of extrapolation.

tiddy

Who LIKES ono

fbueckert

Yay for sweeping generalized statements!

kalina

9:22 PM

@fbueckert that's my thing, don't take my thing :(

fbueckert

@kalina I wasn't aware that was your thing.

Alright, you can have your thing back.

OrigamiRobot

@kalina I thought your thing was for him.

kalina

I'm the one that makes huge generalisations that include huge numbers of people I didn't mean to include

like "all men suck. the world would be better without men"

Ben Brocka

@badp damn, that sucks

fbueckert

Also, it just hit me: After D3 comes out for consoles, we're going to get hit with SO many dupes.

kalina

9:24 PM

@fbueckert yes

but, it gives you a chance to answer a whole load of new diablo 3 questions

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert And then they'll get closed and my questions will get upvoted.

fbueckert

@kalina Except that they'll be dupes.

There won't be a single new one.

kalina

@fbueckert only 99% of them will be dupes

tiddy

Is Diablo 3 a thing still?

OrigamiRobot

There will be legitimate new questions about the UI

tiddy

9:25 PM

Who would want to play that on a console

fbueckert

Calling it now: PC gamers are more intelligent than console gamers.

5

@tiddy I still play it on occasion, yes.

kalina

@fbueckert yay for PC gamers

tiddy

@fbueckert Why are PC gamers more intelligent

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Are you implying the D3 community will worsen on average? Impossible.

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert interface questions

Grace Note

9:26 PM

@fbueckert Hey

kalina

@OrigamiRobot yes it will, once the call of duty people get hold of it

fbueckert

hey guys, @OrigamiRobot is trying to say something and if we don't acknowledge it he will keep permalinking it to us

fbueckert

@GraceNote Sorry, I'm making sweeping general statements again.

I have to stop stealing @kalina's thing.

@OrigamiRobot Such as, "Why did they design it so horribly?"

kalina

9:28 PM

@fbueckert even in context this could be interpreted so many ways

fbueckert

@kalina I am honestly surprised that hasn't been starred yet.

StrixVaria

D3 for consoles is stupid.

fbueckert

I thought for sure everyone would jump on that.

kalina

@fbueckert me too

StrixVaria

I hate Blizzard now.

OrigamiRobot

Feb 8 at 14:45, by kalina

@OrigamiRobot what do you mean?

Powerlord

@StrixVaria Only just now?

Not when they announced the Real Money auction house?

Not when they announced RealID?

kalina

@Powerlord to be honest, the RMAH was a killer for me

StrixVaria

9:30 PM

@Powerlord This didn't bother me at all.

@Powerlord This was stupid but when they made it optional I stopped caring.

Powerlord

Oh yeah, I missed the most important one.

Not when they became part of Activision?

tiddy

I remember when I played diablo once

StrixVaria

@Powerlord I hadn't been personally affected by Activision yet. I generally don't pay attention to publishers.

Except fuck EA.

kalina

I am waiting for "World of Warcraft, coming soon to Playstation 4"

StrixVaria

I still think EA is worse than Activision.

CONSOLE MMOS WORKED SO WELL WITH FF11

Coronus

9:32 PM

@kalina This scares me.

But I guess that was the point of the announcement yesterday.

OrigamiRobot

Feb 14 at 14:37, by OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko They are publishers. All publishers suck.

Ben Brocka

@kalina I was honestly wondering if that's what blizzard was there for

kalina

The idea of a game like WoW on a console... just eugh

StrixVaria

I cannot imagine how D3 will work on a console.

kalina

This is definitely why "Titan" is an FPS

StrixVaria

9:33 PM

I wonder if it will be always online.

@kalina MMOFPS?

kalina

"Titan" as an FPS, so it can be a console MMO

@StrixVaria yes

Powerlord

I thought it was kind of weird how Valve, who was all buddy-buddy with Sony at E3 2011, was nowhere to be seen at this announcement.

fbueckert

@StrixVaria If it's not, people will be tearing Blizzard a new one for their double standards.

Jin

wasn't there a Starcraft 1 for console?

StrixVaria

@Jin Yes and it was awful.

tiddy

9:34 PM

Has there ever been a launch title for a console that had been previously released +1yr ago for another system

SaintWacko

From now on, @OrigamiRobot shall speak only in quotes

Bonus points if they're his own quotes

StrixVaria

@SaintWacko He has successfully done this before.

Jin

I just found out today that SNK released a console last year...

SaintWacko

@StrixVaria I believe it :D

Coronus

@Jin There was a Warcraft too

Powerlord

9:35 PM

@tiddy The WiiU had one, but I don't remember what it was.

Batman: Arkham City, I think

OrigamiRobot

Apr 17 '12 at 13:11, by OrigamiRobot

@RonanForman Oh are we playing the quote game? I love this game!

StrixVaria

I want to play Starcraft: Ghost.

Ronan Forman

@Powerlord The WiiU had launch titles?

Coming soon for Xbox720, that shitty diablo game that has been out for a few years

Jin

@StrixVaria me too!

@StrixVaria me too!

Powerlord

@RonanForman Yes! And at least one of them was by someone other than Nintendo!

kalina

oh no, stackexchange is broken! "Accounts are temporarily unavailable"

tiddy

I just don't understand the rationale of releasing a console launch game that has been out for a while and can arguably look and play better on another system

Powerlord

So, I copied all the music files from all the Steam Ys games and renamed them with their proper titles. The only issue is that they don't loop properly, but eh.

I'm famous!

Powerlord

I now have no less than 5 versions of Tower of the Shadow of Death (the Darm Tower lower floors theme).

badp

@StrixVaria have you seen the screenshots?

StrixVaria

@badp Nope.

badp

9:38 PM

the inventory management screen is... special

kalina

@tiddy you realise with the PS4 being an x86 system that "financially" it's probably not such a big deal

Powerlord

4 of those came from Ys I and Ys Origin on Steam

fbueckert

@tiddy How not? It's opening up a game to an audience that doesn't play on PC.

StrixVaria

There's the whole thing about a ridiculous number of the skills require you to click on the place where you want your meteor/blizzard to land or where you want your character to teleport/leap/dash. Those are not things that can be accomplished with joysticks.

kalina

@StrixVaria trackpad

OrigamiRobot

9:39 PM

7 hours ago, by fbueckert

Powerlord

@kalina One question, though... where are they getting the x86 chips from? They mentioned that the CPU and GPU were going to be on the same die, which implies an AMD Fusion processor, but those aren't exactly graphics powerhouses.

SaintWacko

@StrixVaria Yeah, I'm curious to see how that works

StrixVaria

@kalina It's also coming out on PS3.

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Yikes

kalina

@Powerlord they have already confirmed somewhere that they're AMD chips

StrixVaria

9:40 PM

@OrigamiRobot I'm blind now.

kalina

@StrixVaria yeah that will probably be a bit painful

badp

@StrixVaria Basically Diablo 3 is a twin stick shooter right?

waits for Strix's head to finish exploding

Wipqozn

I'm so excited for the new Monster Hunter game now. I wasn't sure If I was going to pick it up before, due to being concerned about the controls on the 3DS. Luckily the demo came out today, and the controls are fine.

tiddy

@fbueckert You remember CoD was a PC only game first

SaintWacko

@badp That's what I'm expecting it to turn into on consoles

fbueckert

9:43 PM

@tiddy I'm not sure how that relates to not making more money.

badp

@SaintWacko Hey, in a few ways it'd be nice to be able to move in a direction and shoot arrows in another

tiddy

It doesn't, I'm now talking about Diablo 4, 5, 6 by 2015

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Is the slide pad pro needed?

SaintWacko

@badp Yeah, that would be nice

@tiddy Don't even say that

Diablo 3:Black Ops

kalina

@tiddy it could happen

fbueckert

9:44 PM

@SaintWacko Eugh.

kalina

Diablo 17: Modern Warfare

badp

First person Diablo. Hells yeah!

tiddy

But yeah, I'll say Diablo 3 won't do well on PS4

SaintWacko

@fbueckert Exactly

kalina

Diablo vs Warcraft vs Starcraft: The ultimate collection

fbueckert

9:45 PM

If Activision kills the classic Diablo series, then I'm sorry. Blizzard will lose a customer permanently.

badp

(Hey, people liked Skyrim!)

kalina

first boss is the lich king instead of the skeleton king

SaintWacko

fbueckert

@badp And it suffered from consolitis.

Powerlord

@fbueckert will a customer out of existence permanently?

fbueckert

9:45 PM

I'm just glad they didn't develop D3 in parallel for console and PS3.

@Powerlord Yay for missing words!

SaintWacko

@fbueckert shudder

badp

@SaintWacko I'm sorry, you just stepped on @agent86's grumpy monopoly. Expect to be sued momentarily

fbueckert

Imagine if we had to put up with that UI on PC.

SaintWacko

@badp I've done it before. We share grumpy cat

kalina

@fbueckert Diablo 3's loading screen pops up with "when this icon shows, do not turn off your console" followed by "press start to login" on PC

my favourite kind of console port

ala RAGE

badp

9:47 PM

That said, I don't see why a Diablo game couldn't use WASD to move

SaintWacko

It's more that @agent86 is patient zero of the grumpy cat epidemic

kalina

@badp no, me either

fbueckert

@kalina My favorite console port is none.

tiddy

@tiddy Retort: wouldn't a console game only have 4 skills at any one time?

Why you retorting me for an article I posted

badp

because I can't at-reply the author

you're the next best thing

SaintWacko

@tiddy Oh my god it all makes sense

that was meant to be backspace, not enter -.-

SaintWacko

@badp Nah, there are enough buttons that they aren't all needed for movement

badp

9:49 PM

@SaintWacko Isn't placing skills on the D-pad the standard?

console owners have just as much right as PC users to see first hand how badly you've damaged the Diablo franchise.

lol

kalina

@SaintWacko meh, Blizzard didn't make Diablo 1 or 2, they gave it their "best shot"

(I am laughing and not serious at all about the "best shot" bit)

SaintWacko

@kalina Well, it wasn't good enough

kalina

@SaintWacko well that always happens when you take somebody elses game and try and make a sequel

It only works in star wars

@fbueckert The demo is for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, not Monster Hunter 4.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn I know

Wipqozn

I don't even think MH4 has been dated yet, in either country.

@fbueckert Okay. I've known more than once person who doesn't realize they are separate games.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn I'll still be picking up 3U; we need more Monster Hunters.

Apparently, you can bounce the 3DS version through a Wii U for online play.

@fbueckert You can transfer save files between them as well.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn Yeah, cross-play.

user43095

@badp //faces: <block> - Build the walls, ceiling, and floor of a selection

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Also, agreed. We need more Monster Hunter Games. It's one of my favourite series, so I really wish they'd start releasing the games over here on something other than PSP.

badp

@jeffreylin_ Oh, okay.

fbueckert

10:47 PM

I wonder if there's a way to do some PC finagling to re-route through a PC instead. Hmm.

I ain't buying a Wii U just to play online.

badp

Still, I'd be surprised if it didn't allow you to grow or shrink or border a selection; sounds like a pretty basic feature

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert Is that the only way to do it? That seems weird

user43095

.//hollow: [<thickness>[ <block>]] - Hollows out the object contained in this selection

fbueckert

@BenBrocka Technically, the 3DS only supports local play.

It requires a bit of a hack to get to allow online play.

Ben Brocka

Why? It has online features

user43095

10:51 PM

@badp //hcyl: <block> <radius>[,<radius>] [height] - Generates a hollow cylinder.

No rectangle. What are the practical uses of a sphere and a pyramid???

badp

Spheres are boring to make; if you didn't have this tool you'd have to follow guides and diagrams and stuff

same goes for cylinders

user43095

Yes, but why would you need one?

badp

pyramids... I dunno

@jeffreylin_ @fredley used cylinders to section off his different arenas in that map

perhaps you want large pillars
