The Bridge

It doesn't even have a launcher and it does that actually

I think the air support units do various things like provide increased vision range and stealth detection.

I mean, that's pretty much what they'd do in real life.

@Yawus Oh actually that would make sense, because some of the other options are stealth units. Is it what they do in real life?

And can you find an actual source

For my question :P

12:04 AM

@GnomeSlice Closest thing I could was a description of creating custom air support units.

atwar-game.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=7265

@Yawus Also, once you go through the tutorial I'm up for a game if you like.

@GnomeSlice Well, air support would be like Predator drones and recon planes.

They do targeted strikes and... recon.

Ah, there's a description in there.

And the values and check boxes let you see exactly how far it can see and stuff

You should answer with that image

@SaintWacko Goooood. Goooood... Give in to the... wait... why are you launching Recettear? You just bought Skyrim! o_o

@Fluttershy Has to download first :P

Another hour

12:09 AM

@SaintWacko That's it?

I almost launched Civ 5, but then I realized I would never be able to stop when Skyrim finished downloading

@GnomeSlice I have good internet :P

@SaintWacko NO!

@Powerlord What?

@SaintWacko You realize that Skyrim was cheaper twice during the last sale than it was today?

@Powerlord It was?

I never saw it for less than $35

12:13 AM

Could have sworn Skyrim was at $30 for the Legendary edition during its daily sale.

@Fluttershy wat

@Powerlord Do you know anything about getting steam to continue to recognize games with launchers after running them.

atWar seems to be doing that. It doesn't even have a launcher, but after you run it it drops the 'now playing' thing almost immediately.

I watched a video of a newer version of KSP

So it must have something.

@GnomeSlice Sadly, no.

12:18 AM

They have a nice little system to help you get into the orbit you want to

If the launcher launches the game in another tab instead of execing the game in the current process, Steam loses track of it.

@Powerlord Yeah I don't know, it doesn't even have a 'launcher', but it does that.

I think

Anyway, I need to go make dinner.

It only has one exe though which is weird

I think I have hamburger out, but my only choices are tacos or hamburgers and I forgot to get hamburger buns.

12:20 AM

@Powerlord Have tacos with ground beef

@Yawus So what do you think?

I am sitting in a bar, using free wi fi provided by the bar.

The wifi connection has an Internet content filter, presumably to block porn or whatever.

One of the blocked categories is 'Alcohol.'

@LessPop_MoreFizz I am drinking aged scotch ale

user20683

it's decent

12:49 AM

@GnomeSlice Only just installed it. Went to go eat dinner.

12:59 AM

And I just snatched defeat from the mouth of victory.

Sigh

LessPop_MoreFizz

I am not crazy about scotch ales.

Dunno why. I should like them - they check all the right boxes, but just don't do it for me.

1:12 AM

Man I suck at strategy games.

Krazer

@GnomeSlice what's your strategy?

@Krazer Suction

@Krazer My atWar 'strategy'/perk or my overall strategy in games.

He just told you.

Uh

I kind of just do random shit

I don't know, I try to spread my units out so that they cover everything

And I always miss a ton apparently

Krazer

1:19 AM

@GnomeSlice there you have it, you're spreading yourself too thin. Specialize, don't generalize~

I always do that in games

I always level up every stat of my RPG characters too

Okay, I've finished the tutorial for AtWar, it definitely seems like it has the opportunity to be a great version of Risk online.

@RedRiderX It's pretty awesome

Can you not do single player games?

Sort by 'beginner' games at first though

@RedRiderX No, there's no AI, unfortunately.

1:20 AM

@GnomeSlice Wait, I just saw your name flash by the screen.

Q: Where do I find Alchemy Orbs and Fire Crystals?

@RedRiderX Might have been the game I'm hosting.

It's full though.

I'm finding plenty of Eternal Orbs of alchemy and Radiant Fire Crystals in FSC, which is great for upgrading 4* gear to 5*, but I'm running out of 4* gear to upgrade. Where do I find the other orbs and crystals?

Q: how do you make an awesome hotel that your cousins wont criticize?

so< i made an awesome hotel on minecraft and then stayed at me cousins house and told my cousins about it and then they started asking how big it was and how many floors it was. so then i told them that i didn't know how big it was and that all of their guesses were wrong. so then they tried to ...

minecraft

@GnomeSlice Heh, you seem like you might be in trouble.

@RedRiderX Are you watching?

Because my current game just started.

What colour am I in your game.

Yellow.

1:23 AM

Oh yeah that one just started.

Also are you a spectator?

Say something!

@GnomeSlice Yeah.

@RedRiderX You want me to quit this and play with you? I don't mind.

It just started anyway.

@GnomeSlice Nah it's cool, I was wondering how a live game might play out anyway.

@RedRiderX They can take a while.

I've been mostly doing smaller maps because global games take foreve

I would have to bow out soon anyway.

1:25 AM

I mean you can set the max number of turns, but at 3-4 minutes a pop 50 turns is still a lot

@RedRiderX No worries, we'll play another time

@GnomeSlice Yeah, and I think I might be able to introduce this to some other people I know as well.

@RedRiderX You should use your/my ref link when you invite them

Gives you SP

Which you use to get upgrades and new units and shit

I'll have to check this out

The asynchronous mode is really interesting.

There are a few people that would play with me

1:27 AM

@RedRiderX The 24 hour one?

@SaintWacko atwar-game.com/?p=344747

Use that link if you please. =P

@GnomeSlice Will do

@GnomeSlice Yeah, I guess, I haven't looked into it to much.

I just burst into a fit of manic-angry-depressed-elated laughter. I have mixed feelings.

Skyrim just finished downloading, though, so I'll ask for that link another time

:|

1:27 AM

@RedRiderX Yeah, it's the same as the other one but turns can be much much longer.

@RavenDreamer About?

@SaintWacko So close to !!'ing 3-2 on Bit.Trip Runner

And I was like, "I know this spider is coming"

And then I was like, "I see the spider, gotta dodge it"

splat

and then I was like, "OMG WHY DIDN'T YOU DODGE IT" and then cue laughter.

New IGS game in 2.5 hours @RedRiderX.

1:32 AM

@GnomeSlice I am aware of this.

Excellent.

They haven't done the hints in a long time, wonder what it will be.

But the relevant bit was that I nailed all 5 of the tricky jumps before the spider that I had never nailed before.

@RedRiderX Also I suggested atWar premium on IGS. You should give it an upvote if you have a forum account there.

@GnomeSlice Did that last time you linked it.

fbueckert

@fluttershy That rocket looks pretty cool.

1:34 AM

I have found the Maple Moose chips.

Gas station next to hotel sells them.

Do I dare, for science?

@LessPop_MoreFizz Try them.

They're probably fine.

@RedRiderX Did you download it or are you using the browser one

@GnomeSlice Both, kindof.

kindof?

Tried both, anyway.

What's the difference?

1:40 AM

@GnomeSlice Not much, really.

@RedRiderX Can you fullscreen the browser one?

@GnomeSlice Yeah, it's just Silverlight on both, so they are pretty much identical.

It's not like in a webpage I guess? It gets its own window?

TALK TO MEEEE, TELL ME YOUR NAMEEEE

@spugsley Michael.

1:41 AM

@MichaelSlice

Nope, that didn't work. I think you're wrong

@spugsley You blow me off like it's all the same?

@RedRiderX Do you use facebook? If you like the page you get access to helicopters.

@Fluttershy :o orly?

If you don't... dunno if you can still get them

@spugsley You lit a fuse and now I'm ticking away. >_>

Like a bomb.

1:43 AM

DID SOMEBODY SAY CLOCK

►

@Fluttershy omai :3

@GnomeSlice Yeah I saw that.

@GnomeSlice WOW you don't even have to guess what I thought that said

@spugsley <3

@GnomeSlice I... no. I don't think anyone said clock. <_<

1:44 AM

@OrigamiRobot is reading the latest passage of my novel. Tell him to be nice to me because I am rustyyyy

►

less anime

@GnomeSlice Hmm how long does a game like the one you're in go on for?

@spugsley I told him!

@RedRiderX Depends. this map is pretty small, and I have the turns set to 4 minutes (I usually do 3)

@Fluttershy THANK YOU

1:47 AM

Can go anywhere from like 20 minutes to... well 50 x 4

You can set the max turns below 50 though

@GnomeSlice Can you jump into a game halfway through?

►

@RedRiderX Also depends. You can set how many turns in people can still join. I usually set mine so that people can join any turn, but mostly it's like 'if it's before turn 10 you can jump in'

@Fluttershy Those are the best

The sonic ones made me shit my pants

@Fluttershy This guy really needs a trim though.

And his album art is hideous.

smoothmcgroove.bandcamp.com

@GnomeSlice Why does he need a trim? O_o

@Fluttershy Are you blind

1:53 AM

@GnomeSlice No. But I don't see how his hair style or choice in facial hair has any impact on the music he makes.

@Fluttershy Did you figure out the 4th for Skullgirls?

@Fluttershy It doesn't. But he looks scruffy.

I am interested.

@StrixVaria Not yet. So far it's just me, FAE, and... that's it. Possibly Yawus.

@GnomeSlice That implies that it's unintentional.

1:53 AM

@Fluttershy I'm not sure how I'd pay you back, but I am interested.

@StrixVaria Do you have PayPal?

I don't keep a PayPal balance.

@OrigamiRobot Not many people like the scruffy look on purpose, but I guess.

I probably had an account at some point.

Well, we'll work out the details tomorrow. @FAE's already gone to sleep, so we'd have to wait anyway.

1:54 AM

Ok.

@StrixVaria Buy him a game

@GnomeSlice That is possible.

@GnomeSlice You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I am the best problem solver in history.

@OrigamiRobot 'scruffy'?

@StrixVaria Alternatively, you can just make a PayPal account for us to send moneys to.

1:55 AM

scruffy != bearded

And then you buy it. =P

I'm going to refuse any option that involves me receiving money at PayPal.

@OrigamiRobot I know what scruffy means. And he looks like it.

I'd rather just pay $15 for a single copy.

He looks like a hobo, long hair, long beard

black cap

scruffy

1:56 AM

@StrixVaria Fair enough. =P We'll figure it out tomorrow.

@GnomeSlice That's not scruffy.

It is in my book

Also he really needs to find a new artist for his albums

I don't want to read your book.

> Shabby and untidy or dirty.

That's the tidiest fucking beard and hair I've ever seen.

@Fluttershy Shabby is another good one.

1:56 AM

He doesn't look shabby either.

He does to me lol. I feel he looks like a hobo, particularly in the cap

@GnomeSlice Have you seen many hobos? <_<

They look way worse.

@Fluttershy Yes. There are a lot of them in Ottawa.

Is this guy scruffy?

@OrigamiRobot Not even close.

Kind of majestic, really.

Also kind of hilarious.

1:59 AM

@GnomeSlice Is this guy scruffy?
