I like how planets are essentially just giant wrecking balls in Solar 2.

Enemy fleet? Smash a planet through it.

Coronus

@StrixVaria I think it's time for me to install that game.

Pre-emptive tagging question: do we have tags for Tomb Raider (1996) and Tomb Raider (2013)?

StrixVaria

Note: I'm not 100% sure I'm playing correctly.

fbueckert

Ooh! Shit's going down for Prenda!

Californian judge has ordered almost everyone involved with Prenda to his courtroom for Monday.

Including both Alan Coopers.

MBraedley

Nevermind, just took a look at the tags page.

@fbueckert Ooh, nice

@StrixVaria That's what I've started doing

fbueckert

@SaintWacko I'd love to be in that courtroom when it goes down.

SaintWacko

I had 8 neutron stars in a Keplerer rosette

And when I found a fleet I'd just smash straight through them

I didn't do much fighting though

I did destroy the universe, though

@LessPop_MoreFizz Tipping confuses my head. It shouldn't be legal for store owners to provide their waiters less-than-minimum wage to begin with

I mean, it's actually kind of dishonest to say a meal is $50 when it really is $65 after tax and tipping

fbueckert

Between Righthaven and Prenda, I have no idea which one hit the crazy copyright shill the hardest.

MBraedley

does [tag:the-tag] not work in tag wiki excerpts?

badp

11:10 PM

@MBraedley no formatting works in excerpts.

It's just plain text.

MBraedley

@badp that's... dumb

I agree with him, but that's still not an answer.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Should probably protect the question. 500 views in 5 hours, plus the recent shitstorm over the whole always online thing

SaintWacko

@fbueckert I wanted to respond to that with "Ahahahahahahaha"

fbueckert

@SaintWacko Nah; be nice.

SaintWacko

11:15 PM

@fbueckert That's why I didn't

badp

also, new AVGN

you can skip minutes 3-6

StrixVaria

11:31 PM

Ok, (as a black hole), I just slingshotted a star into another star, obliterating both solar systems.

That is awesome.

Coronus

@StrixVaria Agreed.

badp

...it's a fucking musical.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp Whether you like the system or not, refusal to cooperate in any manner that is not total abstention (i.e. not eating in restaurants) is simply being a dick.

James

Who bit the bullet and bought Simcity like me?

@StrixVaria What game?

StrixVaria

@James Solar 2

James

11:39 PM

@StrixVaria Oh, Kewl :)

StrixVaria

I've destroyed 3 universes now, so I'll try out Super Hexagon in a bit instead.

badp

@StrixVaria do you still lose mass to asteroids as a black hole?

StrixVaria

@badp No, you get 1 mass per asteroid.

badp

I don't get how a sun would lose mass to an asteroid.

StrixVaria

It's negligible.

As a sun, though, you generally have a shield so asteroids are a non-issue.

fbueckert

11:43 PM

@StrixVaria You mean your defense isn't horribly burning everything that comes close?

StrixVaria

@fbueckert No, unfortunately :(

Although when you get into an...uh...octal?...star system, you can generally ram through most stuff to kill it anyway.

I don't think anything higher than binary exists in the real universe, but I'm not an astronomer.

LessPop_MoreFizz

I can't believe Torment raised a million dollars in six fucking hours.

fbueckert

@LessPop_MoreFizz Planescape Torment was just that good.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fbueckert Yeah, but this isn't even the original Torment team for the most part - it's a bunch of people who were connected to, but not directly involved in, the original Torment.

fbueckert

@LessPop_MoreFizz People aren't going to care; they're just going to read, "Sequel to Planescape Torment", and throw money at the screen.
