Q: Do Sims like a view?

In SimCity, if you were to zone for residential properties near what would be a scenic view - like a seafront or near cliffs overlooking the city or rivers for example, would the value of these properties increase in a similar manner to if being placed near a park or a school? Do Sims like a view?

@BenBrocka I think that is the official statement. Eurogamer has updated it's article with the same statement

Ben Brocka

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Only current source is the Gamasutra tweet. I'd at least like a quoted statement or something

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp Hmmm, I don't have Dungeon Defender for Android. To be frank though, after seeing the game on desktop I'm not terribly impressed

user30

@YiJiang'sEvilClone heresy. Dungeon Defenders is great.

No idea how it would scale to Android though

Ben Brocka

How does Beat Hazard Ultra compare to the original?

badp

@BenBrocka better in every way

except the "perks" system requires you to grind upgrades with in-game money

on android you can buy the in-game money for cash

(in the original game you unlocked perks simply by leveling up)

> "While we have not announced sales for Dead Space 3, we are proud of the game and the franchise remains an important IP to EA," an EA spokesperson told Eurogamer.

badp

also. You'd think that a stealth game based on a guy whose only weapon is dropping a bomb on the ground and then exploding it would have some kind of tolerance on being detected

Dynamite Jack doesn't do that. As soon as you clip with a beam of light you're instantly killed.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

And anyway they're not going to be announcing openly them canning the series even if that's their plan.

@YiJiang'sEvilClone duh, then can use the IP to sell it to others for example.

Maybe they'll make a shitty iOS game with "Dead Space" in the name.

Ben Brocka

@badp They already did, it's pretty much what you'd expect

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@ThomasMcDonald The desktop version suffered from DLC-titis. When I first installed it the game hung for a few second upon first launch, then I had to click through a ridiculous number of messages telling me that DLC content X is now available

badp

@BenBrocka They'll produce more.

...well, they would if they didn't close down the shop that did those for them anyway.

user30

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oh yeah, there was that. I think Ivo bought it for me in the sale, I ended up buying all the DLC for £3 or £4 anyway in sales

user30

or maybe more, I can't really remember

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

10:04 PM

A few minutes, rather

Ben Brocka

@YiJiang'sEvilClone if they shut down visceral games they'd have to. And visceral more or less = Dead Space, like Studio Liverpool was Wipeout

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

The game hung for a few minutes while it got all the messages ready

Ben Brocka

@badp Are the perks permanent or something? I thought all upgrades were limited to your current run originally

badp

@BenBrocka You have a number of perk slots. You can buy more

Perks go from "give me more multiplier for surviving" to "drop multipliers every so often" to "extra lives, please" to "LAZERS"

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

And I don't have Super Hexagon on desktop either. Hmmm.

Decisions decisions...

Q: Things being destroyed on private server when no one is logged in

So I have a private server that I rent and run Minecraft on. Me and two others have access to it only. On two occasions I have logged on to find that some things have been destroyed. First time I found that several chests had been destroyed and most of my items were scattered on the floor. Toda...

Bleh

Finished shovelling for the time being.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Everyday I'm shovelling!

Windows file search is so great! I copy text from a file that's from a plain text file, tell it to search for this text in all files in this directory tree, and it tells me there are no results IN THE SAME SEARCH PATH.

If we get any more snow, I'm afraid my garage will collapse.

It's already leaning pretty dangerously.

spugsley

@fbueckert O-o I did not know that was a real thing that could happen

fbueckert

10:34 PM

@spugsley It most certainly is.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Wow, that's either a lot of snow or a really badly built garage

fbueckert

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Both. The garage is really old at this point.

Probably as old as the house.

And it was never really that well built to begin with.

Blem

Some of you might say this is NSFW

fbueckert

That's my garage, on the left.

@Blem Is it Rebecca Black?

@Powerlord no

fbueckert

@Michel You wanted pictures of snow. That enough for you?

FAE

@Blem Hahaha wow

agent86

Blem

dose USPS always suck so much when it comes to mail or is it just because it is an international package?

FAE

@Blem yes and yes

Blem

10:49 PM

:(

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Blem TBQH, USPS is actually usually pretty awesome.

Far better than UPS/FedEx in my experience at least.

Fluttershy

@FAE To be fair, you did get that last package much quicker than expected!

FAE

@Fluttershy That was a very rare experience.

Fluttershy

@FAE I know. =P

FAE

@Fluttershy Considering it's like the one time I've gotten a package within a week in like 10 years of experience sending/receiving packages here, I'd say it doesn't really warrant "to be fair" inclusion.

Fluttershy

10:56 PM

@FAE Well... o_O That's fair.

Ugh. I'm not sure why so many fans seem to love WeLoveFine. Their website design is terrible and they sent me my password in plaintext when registering.
