@MartinSojka This kind of thing is more fun if you're logged into someone else's account

'Engagement party!', 'Baby shower!' etc.

@LessPop_MoreFizz 15 more seconds of new Daft Punk

I wonder if I can take a nap at work.

kalina

I do frequently, see earlier 'pseudo sleep' comment

OrigamiRobot

I don't even have the energy to get some tea or eat some sour skittles.

fredley

@OrigamiRobot is beyond the event horizon

OrigamiRobot

I don't even know what you're talking about.

I just want to go back to sleep.

kalina

1:15 PM

interesting

my phone comes with a free copy of thor

OrigamiRobot

As in the movie?

kalina

no as in the man

I will have fun tonight!

Q: Binding of Isaac Cathedral glitch

Before I go on Wrath of Lamb is installed correctly, I have beaten the sheol before it lives (because a devil room spawned on the third run) and after it lives. Yet I dont get a beam of light. I still get the trapdoor and the chest which is annoying.

Q: does addition from Game engines require needs during development?

Once I have created a new engine which has things like better dialog and better A.I, if I select that during the development of the game does that mean that I could lower the correlating field during the Dev so that I could concentrate on other sections or does it mean that I should look more int...

Q: what are the chanses to spawn a donkey in minecraft

What are the chances to spawn a donkey I recently heard that you can spawn a donkey in minecraft from a horse egg so i am curious what the chances are to spawn one :D [Minecraft.net][1]

Martin Sojka

@LessPop_MoreFizz 1.3k miles is - as far as I'm concerned - just doable in one day, though it wouldn't be very comfortable (I once did 900 miles in 13 hours).

Q: How often will a horse egg contain a donkey?

I recently heard that you can spawn a donkey from a horse egg with a random probability so I am curious: how often this happens?

minecraft

LessPop_MoreFizz

@MartinSojka Yeah, I've done some thousand mile days before myself, but usually to pull that off, you have to be going west to east during the summertime.

Martin Sojka

Horses are born from eggs. Only in Minecraft.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@MartinSojka 1.3k on the other hand, is getting into the territory of "if you keep up the pace you need to do this, you are going to get a speeding ticket".

Especially trying to do so in Pennsylvania or Ohio.

kalina

1:26 PM

my pink usb cables have been shipped!

best. day. ever.

Martin Sojka

@LessPop_MoreFizz Well ok, you have crazy low speed limits over there. I keep forgetting that. :D

LessPop_MoreFizz

@MartinSojka You also need to add on ~2 hours in both the Chicago and NYC metro areas for traffic.

fbueckert

@LessPop_MoreFizz Dad used to be a long distance trucker. He did crazy amounts of mileage in a day.

Martin Sojka

@LessPop_MoreFizz Why do you drive through the metro area in Chicago anyway? Picking someone up?

fredley

@MartinSojka Sometimes donkeys, sadly never ponies

@kalina This is the blandest exciting thing ever

Martin Sojka

1:29 PM

@fredley Male hot pink USB cables with snow white ends. Pure fabulous.

fredley

@MartinSojka I don't want to know about your snow white male ends, or how fabulous they are.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@MartinSojka I actually flew to chicago and picked up a car there. :P

OrigamiRobot

@kalina I'm just going to tell you I'd like to say something snarky and let you fill in what it is. Too tired to actually come up with something.

In fact, I think I'll just outsource all my conversations to @fredley today.

kalina

I'M SORRY IF YOU DON'T LIKE PINK

fredley

@kalina I have a pink one, but I am not excited by it.

kalina

1:31 PM

I am excited by it

I'M SORRY IF YOU ARE NOT EXCITED BY GETTING NEW THINGS

fredley

@kalina Shall I send it to you?

OrigamiRobot

I have a pink highlighter.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@MartinSojka That said, even if I were driving the whole thing, the design of the interstate means you are going to hit Chicago traffic unless you want to a) drive on side streets full of traffic lights and get lost, or b) detour several hundred miles.

kalina

no I have my own

and they're better

fredley

@kalina I got a DP patch today, that was exciting

kalina

1:31 PM

because they are mine

fredley

@kalina Mine is translucent

kalina

pink is better than nonpink

with the exception of purple

because purple is my favourite colour

LessPop_MoreFizz

fredley

@kalina Incorrect. Clothing should be shades of blue/black. Cables should be black.

kalina

no

fredley

1:33 PM

@kalina What happened to your purple distorted eye gravatars?

kalina

clothing should be a variety of colours, provided they're matching

black is not a colour

it is an absence of colour

LessPop_MoreFizz

Even just running along that interstate long the southern edge, through Gary before hanging a left on to I55, you're going to hit bumper to bumper a few times if you're not driving in the middle of the night.

fredley

@kalina It's a colour for this purpose. I am not in a colour theory class.

kalina

cables should be colour coded so that they're easy to organise

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Depends on if you're talking about additive or subtractive colors.

kalina

1:35 PM

@OrigamiRobot depends on if you want to be set on fire or not

OrigamiRobot

I love fire.

fredley

@kalina Nothing depends on this

kalina

@fredley right now, everything depends on this

fredley

@kalina If you set me on fire, I'll come round to your house/workplace and set you on fire back

kalina

you wouldn't be able to

you would be on fire

fredley

1:36 PM

@kalina I can move quickly

kalina

my fire burns quickly

@OrigamiRobot @fredley - this is why you can't have nice things

fredley

@kalina I however, burn very slowly

I am thermally very dense

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Why?

fredley

@kalina Rule one of not being starred: Don't say "don't star this"

You know how stars work

OrigamiRobot

@fredley I can't decide whether or not to star this...

fredley

1:38 PM

@OrigamiRobot Don't even think about not starring, or starring, this message.

Where is your god now

kalina

@fredley data accepted: @fredley is dense

OrigamiRobot

@kalina You're not a robot.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot I am a better robot than you, I'm not made of paper

I am a 100% organic robot

DATA ACCEPTED: EVERYONE IS ROBOTS

kalina

1:39 PM

@OrigamiRobot you are a paper folding robot made from folded paper

fredley

We all simultaneously failed the Turing test

OrigamiRobot

@kalina That's not for you to decide.

kalina

also, if we all do data accepted, it loses its punchiness when you do it

thus devaluing your thing

fredley

@kalina This is the main reason I accept data

OrigamiRobot

I never intended it to be a thing.

kalina

1:40 PM

well it is

OrigamiRobot

Much less my thing.

kalina

so much so that everybody does it

well, your thing isn't very valuable anyway

OrigamiRobot

Good, it makes me feel popular.

Grace Note

@kalina I thought you were, apparently, a factory.

Sconibulus

@GraceNote I think she contains a factory?

kalina

fredley

I'm an algorithm that pretends to be a ~~human~~ robot

Grace Note

You're a porkchop that thinks it's an algorithm that is pretending to be a ~~human~~ robot.

fredley

@GraceNote Well according to @kalina I'm just an organic plan spewing machine

How's The Bridge doing anyway, got anyone to ragequit in the past few days?

kalina

@tombull89 Yeah that Marco dude

oh wait, you were here for that

fbueckert

Oh, are we starring everything again?

OrigamiRobot

1:46 PM

@fredley is going to use up all his stars again.

kalina

@fbueckert no, I was just pushing some things off the star list

fredley

@OrigamiRobot I have only starred two things in the past 5 minutes

kalina

using my mod authorised ability to star things

OrigamiRobot

@fredley That doesn't make my statement less true.

fredley

Wow, checking the star list was a mistake

SaintWacko

Morning, Bridge

kalina

@SaintWacko afternoon

fredley

@kalina Brad Pitt has steak nipples?

kalina

I can't respond to that, sorry

OrigamiRobot

@kalina is the leading authority on Brad Pitt's nipples, but her research is not yet ready for the public.

She's very secretive about it.

kalina

1:50 PM

I am going to stay quiet until the next topic starts, I probably don't have enough stars left to push another out of context comment out of the star list

SaintWacko

@kalina Whatever :P

kalina

@SaintWacko evening

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Who died and made you the boss of the star list?

SaintWacko

@kalina "Another"? Checks the stars list

kalina

@OrigamiRobot everybody else does it, any attempt to apply control to me doing it results in me screaming about double standards

@OrigamiRobot wait, you mean when you star everything I say it's ok, but when I do it's not?

IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING?

SaintWacko

1:53 PM

@kalina Yes, you're not allowed to star things you say

Also, this one?

5 hours ago, by kalina

humping my pillow or something

kalina

no

OrigamiRobot

@kalina I just wanted you to say it was me who died and made you boss.

SaintWacko

Oh

kalina

my pillow was so very comfy this morning

I didn't want to let go of it

SaintWacko

goes back to the star list

kalina

1:54 PM

@OrigamiRobot I am not boss, I am just utilising the abilities I am granted

SaintWacko

@kalina Eh, you have a lot of good out of context quotes in the star list. I'll just assume it's all of them

kalina

oh so predictable

bwahahahahahaha

SaintWacko

@kalina Yep :P

Also, no fair!

kalina

c'est la vie

Sconibulus

If a removed message gets starred, is the star refunded?

SaintWacko

1:55 PM

Was it dog hair or measurements?

Sconibulus

err, if a starred message gets removed, rather

SaintWacko

@Sconibulus Oh, good, I was just debating whether to correct you on that :P

kalina

@Sconibulus not sure, if a star is cleared then no, not sure about the question you asked

Grace Note

@Sconibulus I don't believe so.

But I could ask.

@kalina I think it's a dupe, but not sure how that's a spammer.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert She didn't reply to any particular message.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Stupid context highlighting.

SaintWacko

2:03 PM

@fbueckert Yeah, that got me too

Martin Sojka

@GrumpyLazers The original was looking for a "Notched dickaxe".

Sconibulus

@GraceNote It's not a big deal, just idle curiosity

fredley

@kalina His previous question was poorly asked, but ok

Grace Note

@Sconibulus Oh, good.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote I have almost all the weapon plans

Grace Note

2:05 PM

@BenBrocka Which ones are you missing?

Ben Brocka

And the actual weapons for Bert, Nep Nep and Lonely Heart

kalina

@fbueckert sorry that you were defeated by chat

Ben Brocka

I'm missing Plutias (I killed delphinis literally 10 times before quitting) and I think Nepgear's

Rom and Ram's took ages too but I have both

Rom and Ram were really easy to kill but they could take out the whole party in one or two turns if they used the right attacks, so that was fun

Grace Note

I told you you would have fun with that one.

Ben Brocka

I also maxed all the lilly ranks so I just need to get the Bad Ending to get platinum. And I can finally partner up for practical reasons instead of lilly rank reasons

Grace Note

2:08 PM

Hehe

Ben Brocka

And the weapons haven't been very hard to make...except Blanc and Peashy's which each require like 50 random items

Grace Note

Right now I'm just shooting rats for misses. Already at about 2400 for Uni.

@BenBrocka Yeah, I was not happy to see "50 Silver Fragments".

Ben Brocka

How many misses do you need?

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Judging by how the tiers have been going, I need 25000 misses in total, as it appears to be half the rate of Until You Cry.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote yeah. And I don't even know where the thing is for Peashy's

And it figures those two are usually in my party

Grace Note

2:10 PM

@BenBrocka I haven't done Peashy's yet because Koagura Plateau hurts like crazy.

kalina

my phone battery is still above 60%!

after 5 hours!

wooooow

...

Sconibulus

Break out the champagne!

Grace Note

So I don't know what the requirements are, besides I assume Silkiest Silk.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote I don't recall it being particularly difficult compared to the other "final dungeons"

as long as you avoid the...whatever, lizardmen or something, which are annoying

yeah there's a silkiest silk and like 40 animal pelts or something

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Wolves can kill in one hit without right defenses even before going viral. Birds can inflict decent damage. Both of them have way too much HP. Flower Fairies have a 10k damage Thunder Statue. It's a flipflop of either "I take no damage" or "Three people die in normal fights".

@BenBrocka High Grade Pelts, if those are the ones you need, are dropped by the Gray Wolves in Koagura Plateau.

Ben Brocka

2:13 PM

Right I think I farmed the flowers for EX gauge

I avoid all the things that can go viral

@GraceNote Oh FFS

One annoying thing I noticed is the ultimate weapons (so far) all have single square attack ranges

But crazy good attack stats of course, so it's still worth it

Grace Note

Wolves are actually easier to miss against than Pirachu (I'm at my lowest TEC for Uni and I'm still only missing about 2-14 shots for every 140-210 shots I fire per turn), so I'd love to farm on them except they hurt so much.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote Even with Celestial bangles? I made those but I forget how significant they are

Grace Note

@BenBrocka I don't recall seeing this item. Does it reduce TEC?

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote I meant for defense, not to drop tech. Don't think there's any equip that decreases tech, aside from certain CPU parts

And uni doesn't have changable CPU parts anyway

(not even the ones from the LAST game)

Grace Note

Many characters have a weapon that decreases their TEC, especially their ultimate or penultimate.

Except Uni. Uni only has 0 TEC on all her weapons but the shotgun, which has bonus TEC.

Ben Brocka

2:22 PM

Also it's BS they removed half the skills from the Candidates

Grace Note

Erm, they didn't really remove a lot of skills. About the only thing that I noticed being gone was that Uni lost Brave Cannon, which is hilarious since the boss version can use it.

Ben Brocka

I'm sure they had more skills in Mk2

Ram only has 4 SP skills now, she wasn't THAT useless in Mk2 was she?

Grace Note

Actually, uh, I think she did. It was always the awkward part about Ram

She's the "black mage" of the two, but Rom has all of her (all of two) attack spells while Ram just got minor healing and a buff.

Ben Brocka

I thought her terrible personality was the awkward part of Ram

Maybe I'm just misremembering because everyone had an SP skill that's now an EX skill so the lists were universally 1 item longer

Grace Note

I liked Ram for that. Especially all those sidelong glances at Rom whenever she hinted at siding with Nepgear. Those were hilarious.

Ben Brocka

2:28 PM

I just remember being pissed that I've been playing the game for like 5 hours and everyone's too prissy to actually join my party

Grace Note

Anyway, mk2 Ram skills: Ice Coffin, EFB, Ram Heal (made into Go For It, which includes buffs), I'll Tickle You, Green Disc (all disc skills gone), Superior Angels (Formation), Absolute Zero (EXE Drive)

Ben Brocka

Ohhh right the disks

I love how Rom says Ice Coffin, like "Ice...coughin'..."

Grace Note

mk2 Rom skills: Ice Coffin, EFB, Boost, defense boost, AoE heal, Come Back, ailment heal, disc, superior angels, Northern Cross

Ben Brocka

Yeah, Rom has plenty of skills

Grace Note

So, excluding the loss of discs, Rom actually got more skills since she got a single-target heal (WHICH SHE DESPERATELY NEEDED BACK IN mk2), an AoE revive, and an AoE SP heal.

Ram got improved since her attack spells were changed from the (largely useless) paralysis inflict to stat debuffs, and her healing has an Int/Men boost stuck on it.

They switched who gave which debuffs with their ultimate skills, though.

Uni's Charlie Horse skill is called "Where are you looking!?" in JP, unsurprisingly.

Ben Brocka

2:35 PM

What's the deal with paralysis anyway? I use Paralyze Fencer all day (because it's level 1 EX) and 99% of the time it doesn't work even on normal enemies

Grace Note

@BenBrocka I used Venom Fencer instead of Paralyze Fencer since, at least at the start, poison was far more useful.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote Is that even a skill she has?

Grace Note

Anyway, from what I can tell, plants and machines and inorganics are all immune to paralysis, as are most bosses.

Grace Note

Some crabs, dolphins, and whales are susceptible to paralysis but I forget which ones.

Ben Brocka

2:37 PM

Oh that was probably a debuff. I don't use debuffs

fbueckert

@GrumpyLazers Dupe.

Grace Note

It's a great status when it works, but the problem is that almost all the things who wouldn't die to your attack power fast enough to warrant paralysis, are all immune to paralysis.

@BenBrocka Agility down. It was superb in mk2 for handling a lot of bosses.

fredley

@OrigamiRobot We need to have a discussion about Milky Ways

Ben Brocka

Only debuffs I care about are the ones paired with damaging moves

Like Kwhatever slash and I can't think of a second example

OrigamiRobot

@fredley Eh?

Ben Brocka

2:39 PM

Most EX skills debuff too

I think

Grace Note

Kinestra Slash wasn't in Mk2, and EX skills were expensive back then.

fredley

Milky way

OrigamiRobot

And?

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote yeah, I just didn't debuff like at all in Mk2

Grace Note

The only easy ways to debuff AVD in Mk2 were Terai Division and Charlie Horse. The latter is far cheaper.

fredley

2:41 PM

@OrigamiRobot Is this correct?

OrigamiRobot

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote In Victory I've only recently started to miss again (and not that often)

and it's usually peashy, IIRC she has crappy tec

Grace Note

Aside from wolves, hitting people is generally the least of my worries in V. The most of my worries is the part where "Wow, she just did 40k damage to me. Seriously?"

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot It's funny because products are different in different locations

OrigamiRobot

What's different about it?

Ben Brocka

2:45 PM

@GraceNote I've noticed most enemies seem to do pretty normal/fair damage but they have one move that does insane instakill damage

I can kill the ghosts in MS Magma Cave like nothing but they have one random skill which still hurts like hell (and is AOE of course)

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Crush spells tend to do 3x normal damage over an AoE, and then there's the 5x damage spells as well, so those tend to not be nice.

Elemental defense helps a lot in that department, though.

fbueckert

@GamingTopicsFromOutside That's the second time he's posted something like that on SU.

Not including the two he posted here.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote Am I missing something or does Neptune not have a craftable "body" CPU part like everyone else? She's the only one missing one

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Erm, only Plutia and Peashy have a craftable C part.

Ben Brocka

2:52 PM

Oh, huh. But then they won't match!

Neptune and peashy are the only ones I can actually make so I didn't look at the others too close

Noire needs a billion magical reactors or something

OrigamiRobot

@fredley Oh, the UK version doesn't have caramel. I wish the US version didn't.

fredley

@OrigamiRobot What you call a Milky Way we call a Mars Bar

The filling of a UK Milky way is much lighter than the nougat stuff in yours

Sconibulus

Mars Bar is a different thing, I believe

they also sell those here

I don't really eat candy bars so I don't have an opinion on this.

@OrigamiRobot :(

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote do shares actually matter for CPU stats now? Because I somehow dropped Lastation's shares to 0. Noire remains my most powerful character for the most part though

Also Peashy doesn't even have a nation anymore

OrigamiRobot

@fredley If I want chocolate, I'll just eat chocolate.

Grace Note

I think Eden can still get shares, it's just not displayed since it's not an active nation.

Since I used Eden as a bypass during chapter 9 when Eden had already fallen.
