6:00 PM
I'm not going to get any work done today now. Thanks, @Frank.
 
@Yuki He said that earlier
 
4 hours ago, by Frank
Good morning, Bridge
 
@Frank Oh good, I can get some work done now.
 
FAE
@FEichinger Oooh okay. I've never had a gaming laptop, myself, just desktops.
 
I guess it got dropped out of the starlist, thanks to @kalina.
 
6:01 PM
@FAE Not a gaming laptop either. Work.
 
FAE
@FEichinger Oh. That's a little less exciting.
Still, yay new hardware.
 
I want to try assembling a laptop someday.
 
FAE
Now to install all your software!
 
@FAE First upgrade in ... I think five years.
 
FAE
6:04 PM
@FEichinger My desktop's 4 years old now, though it's had some RAM and a video card upgrade. I'm thinking about doing a larger update this year and finally getting a SSD. >_>
 
@FAE SSD is so much goodness.
 
FAE
@Arperum Yeah, I really would like to have one for Windows and games I play often.
My biggest challenge with upgrading my desktop is that I only have a mid-size tower.
 
@FAE I should probably save up for an SSD too.
 
Last day of Steam sales:
 
FAE
Jochem's dad built this desk for me and it was custom made to house this tower.
 
6:09 PM
@AshleyNunn So, get any farther in Zelda?
 
@3ventic Ugh, either owned or don't want/not interested.
 
I've left out some of the not-quite-"setting on fire" with Wandang, because @kalina is cheating the list ò.ó
 
@FEichinger Does it now burn or use a different fuel?
 
FAE
So if I upgrade the case size, it wouldn't be able to fit... but graphics cards have become quite lengthy and it's a really tight fit in there right now.
@FEichinger Are you maintaining this manually?
 
6:10 PM
@FEichinger I demand a 1 in my flame to show I was first of 2014.
 
@FAE Yep. There's no way to do this automatically, except for scraping the page.
@OrigamiRobot No.
 
@3ventic The borderlands sale is awesome... -125% ...
 
I SAID DEMAND
 
Yeah
 
@OrigamiRobot I DON'T CARE.
 
6:11 PM
@FEichinger Fire needs to support pre-Common Era times
 
Ooh. Apparently, I have two foil snow globes.
 
@Yuki DENIED
 
@FEichinger I think you don't know what "demand" means...
 
@Frank Those sound like they might be valuable.
 
@Frank Cash in.
 
6:13 PM
 
@kalina BL2 is apparently so bad, they're paying you to get it.
 
Put them up for $1.55 each, one sells instantly.
 
@Frank Never underestimate how much people are willing to pay for imaginary internet items. Especially when they're shiny.
2
 
I have extras of snow globes of 2, 5, and 7.
I need 1, 3, 4, and 8.
 
I have 4 and 9
 
6:16 PM
And the other foil sold as well.
 
@Frank If anything, you probably under-sold them.
 
I need 8 & 9 and have extras of 3 & 7.
 
I would've put them up for $2.50 minimum. Sure, they probably won't sell instantly, but that's $1 more you could make.
 
@Yuki I priced them both a nickel above average price!
 
Sometimes I get upset when I miss out on some of the big carda/snow glove selling crazes, but then I remember I make more money in an hour than I would by selling cards.
 
6:18 PM
@Frank Prices for rare items like a sale-exclusive foil trading card are ridiculously volatile.
 
@Yuki They're also only good until tomorrow.
 
+ you're required to provide Steam with tax details if you sell too many items on the marketplace
 
@Wipqozn I... think that's been posted here before.
 
FAE
@Frank Best price probably would've been waiting until close to tomorrow's end
 
6:18 PM
@Yuki It's possible this is where I found it,
 
@3ventic Really? Since when?
I've sold an unusual TF2 hat on the Steam Market for like $45

Q: Why do integrated graphics cards perform worse then standalone graphics cards?

user2758631Recently, I got a new computer, replacing my laptop. I noticed that when installing Silent Hunter 5, it said that my PC did not meet the minimum system requirements, however it still ran at high quality (it still lagged a bit though). This led me to wonder if integrated cards are worse, and if so...

 
@Powerlord since long ago
 
@FAE Eh. I've never been a market player. I don't mind not getting maximum value.
 
it's not for how much you sell, but how many you sell.
 
6:19 PM
Why must it be impossible to torrent without having 400 naked girl ads on the screen?
 
and I have lots of items listed on the market now
(mostly TF2 crates that I don't want)
 
FAE
@Sterno Because internet.
 
So anybody got some cards to trade?
 
I think the limit is about 200 items a year..
 
@Sterno Because they thought 401 naked girl ads was just a bit too much.
 
6:20 PM
Steam, what are you doing to me? I can't fulfill the trades that were offered now?
 
Time to go finish Saints Row IV, the best video game of 2013.
 
I have a full day to fulfill those trades!
 
@Sterno Not counting SkyDrift of course.
 
@OrigamiRobot Since that was 2011, yes, not counting it
 
SkyDrift is the best game of every year.
 
6:22 PM
> Saints Row IV, the best video game roguelike of 2013.
 
FAE
@Yuki lmao
 
I am now campaigning to replace all instances of the term "video game" with "roguelike" since, according to Steam descriptions, that's what it appears to mean.
 
@MechanicalLoon It still costs money to buy though :(
 
@Arperum They apparently pay you $15 to get it.
 
6:24 PM
@MechanicalLoon OLD
 
At least that's the only mistake you guys have
 
@OrigamiRobot Your face is old.
 
The Finnish store front says "This is the last day of the Summer sale."
 
@OrigamiRobot Nah, the other one didn't count because it used funny money symbols.
 
@MechanicalLoon Nearly 27 years now.
 
6:25 PM
in Finnish of course
 
FAE
@3ventic Haha, seriously?
 
@FAE Yup
 
FAE
Wow.
 
@3ventic In Finland, winter = summer and summer = winter.
Clearly.
 
They recycled the English string from the summer sale without updating it, so translators didn't get notified about it
 
6:25 PM
@MechanicalLoon On the game page it's -75%, and the page title says -125% the total for all DLC is -76,something € and costs you money when you throw it in your cart. they fucked up big time there.
 
@Yuki I've been replaying Sid Meier's Pirates recently, and am certain if it were being marketed today they would not be able to resist calling it a roguelike
 
I wonder if the upcoming Thief game is going to be called a roguelike?
 
Meh. If it doesn't use A-Z for monsters, it ain't a Roguelike.
 
Bela's in full on OCD mode.
 
@JasonBerkan If it just plain doesn't play like Rogue, it can't be called a roguelike.
 
6:33 PM
@Frank wHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?
 
@OrigamiRobot It means she's doing her damndest to be a hyperactive parkour specialist.
 
@Frank At least she's not in CDO mode.
 
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT'S OCD?
 
@TrentHawkins Or COD mode, god help you.
 
@Fluttershy Uuuuugh you're not helping me not spend money
 
6:34 PM
@OrigamiRobot I suppose ADHD is a better acronym.
 
Now I'm imagining @Frank's cat dashing around the apartment with a rifle, yelling "Snipers only, n00bs!"
 
@Yuki CDO mode is worse. It's OCD, in the correct alphabetical order.
 
@Wipqozn As you get older, you'd be surprised how often you rely on this. Spend 10 hours fixing my bathroom, or work 5 hours and pay someone to fix it?
 
@Wipqozn I think you can tell that Rob Ford is a good person, and it comes through in a lot of the things he says and does!
You can tell that he has a soul, and that it's a sweet one
And he looks like a giant sweaty baby
 
@Frank She's just really happy that you are back.
 
6:35 PM
@Arperum Nope, she's being her usual self.
 
@Arperum Cats are never happy that their owners have returned. They're indifferent at best.
 
@ElfSlice We have a similar politician, he's called Boris Johnson, he's also terrible though.
 
@RonanForman They make fun of him on Top Gear a lot. They even had him on the show once. I dunno, he seemed pretty cool.
 
@Arperum Dogs on the other hand, are almost always happy when their owners return.
 
@ElfSlice He's all right until he starts actually doing politics.
 
6:37 PM
@MBraedley My cat is happy when I return from work.
 
@RonanForman Hahahahaha
 
There needs to be a better way to buy stuff on the Steam Marketplace; trying to be the first click is almost impossible.
 
@Frank needs a userscript to skip the popup
 
@Arperum Cats may be happy when you return from work, but it isn't because you returned from work.
 
I noticed the exact same problem
 
6:40 PM
@JasonBerkan Time is always in demand.
I value my time more than anything else, really. It's very limited.
 
@Frank Blame Amazon for patenting 1-click purchases.
 
@MBraedley My old cat (now living with @IanPugsley and @spugsley) is most definitely happy because people return.
 
Needs a consignment system, so you can go, "I will pay up to X for Y." And then matches it up against sales.

Q: How to view sales per minute on tiny death star?

Daft Mau5I know how to navigate to spm on tiny tower but am unable do do so on tiny death star. Also does sales per minute mean purchases per minute or total profit per minute. If it just means sales per minute how can I view profit per minute.

 
He jumps in your lap and rubs all over your face and if he hasn't seen you in a long time, he drools.
 
6:41 PM
@OrigamiRobot Cats are self centered douche bags. They don't care about us at all, including our comings and goings.
 
@MBraedley Artie is terrible at being a cat.
 
@MBraedley They remind me of myself.
 
I may be biased. I'm allergic to cats and not dogs.
 
Cats are my favourite. Dogs are lame.
 
FAE
@MBraedley Me too, mostly.
 
6:43 PM
They're all like "I'm a dog"
whereas a cat is all like "I'm a cat"
 
I love both cats and dogs.
And pretty much every other furry animal.
 
I actually do like (certain) dogs. I just prefer cats.
 
My dog acts more like a cat than a dog, so I don't know where I stand on this issue.
 
I don't like JAck russels.
they're too hyper.
And loud.
 
I usually don't like small dogs, but my mom's previous Yorkie was awesome.
He was very well behaved and never barked unless he wanted to be let out or in.
 
6:45 PM
 
And he never begged for food.
 
Whoa
 
@OrigamiRobot My dog doesn't bark. At all.
Although I think she once barked at a squirrel. Once.
 
But someone stole him or a hawk got him :(
 
@OrigamiRobot My dog is half Yorkie. I hate him.

Q: What portable vendors exist in World of Warcraft, and which is the cheapest to attain?

corsiKlause Ho Ho HoI've been trying to compile a list of the portable vendors and then sort that list by attainability. I know there is one available to engineers, but the character that I would like it on is skinner/tailor, and I already have an engineer. I was told you could get a guild herald, but then I found...

 
FAE
Man, I want to play Cook, Serve, Delicious but I'm afraid I'll totally ruin my game if I play while I'm so tired.
@OrigamiRobot D: seriously?
 
@FAE I don't think there's such a thing as ruining your game. Just not finishing it as fast.
 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon But I want to not suck.
 
@FAE All I'm saying is that sucking won't ruin your game.
 
@FAE Yep. One day she let him out and he never came back. We have a fenced in back yard.
 
6:48 PM
I have played that game for 16 hours already.
 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon Though you've set a really high bar for not sucking.
You're like double digits in the leaderboards.
 
I bought it for my wife and then I wound up getting addicted.
@FAE Leaderboards?
 
There. Bought the four cards I needed, and easily have a ton of cash left from a single card sale.
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot That's so sad. :(
@MechanicalLoon Yeah, there's leaderboards. You're #1 in my friends list and you're seriously in the double digits on them. At least you were yesterday. I took a screenshot.
 
What's it even rank you on?
 
6:49 PM
Oh, he also didn't have nasty tangled hair because he FUCKING LOVED TO BE BRUSHED
 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon Combos.
 
Anyone got a Bioshock Infinite card from the Summer Sale they don't want?
 
@FAE Oh yeah I've had a 102 combo.
I don't know if I've gone higher than that.
 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon 122
 
@FAE Oh wow.
 
FAE
6:51 PM
 
I have soup on the menu every day, too.
 
FAE
I have my screenshots on friends-only, so it should, I think?
 
What! I'm ranked 66 out of over 15,000?
 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon I KNOW!
 
That's crazy!
 
FAE
6:53 PM
Hence my caption.
 
:D
I'm done with that game, though.
I got my 5-star restaurant and I have a lot of other stuff to play.
 
FAE
Ah, nice.
 
I was treating it as kind of a super-frantic rhythm game.
 
FAE
Yeah. I hate trash bags so much because you can't spam them.
 
Trash was the first thing I upgraded because of that.
Goes from 5 bags to 2. You still can't spam but it's much more tolerable.
 
FAE
6:54 PM
Oh nice.
 
You can also lift the next one immediately after tossing the last one. So it's like "up, pause, right up, pause, right"
So there's only one pause, not two.
 
FAE
that's a lot better
I hate the soda machine.
 
Fuck, I dropped 3 places
 
@FAE Y U TAKE SO MANY SCREENSHOT?
 
@FAE I got used to it. I liked having it on the menu because it was something I could just do quickly and have it go away.
That's also why I left salad on the menu every day.
Things that require post-cooking commands are the worst.
Like burgers, nachos, potatoes, etc.
 
6:56 PM
I really wish you guys wouldn't talk about that cookin game. you're going to make me spend money on it.
 
Things that cook and then you can just serve instantly are really nice, like steak, chicken, soup.
@Wipqozn It's good.
 
@Wipqozn Spend money on games I talk about instead
 
you guys should talk about somthing else. Like Monster hunter. or risk of rain.
@ElfSlice You talk about too many games.
 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon I just get hung up on the variables of it sometimes.
 
@Wipqozn Not lately, sadly.
 
6:57 PM
@FAE Have you upgraded it?
Once you add jumbo and flavor boost it gets even worse.
 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon Yeah, I messed up burgers on the first day because I kept forgetting to put the meat on the burger after I cooked it...
 
@Wipqozn OR BANISHED
 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon Ugh, no, that sounds awful.
 
Mostly just this one
 
FAE
I'm only on day 3.
I haven't played much yet.
 
6:57 PM
@Wipqozn I know, right?
 
@FAE Ah ok.
 
@MechanicalLoon By the way, make sure you use your controller for Valdis Story
 
Money is super tight at the beginning.
@ElfSlice Was planning to.
Metroidvania without controller sounds like torture.
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Because I like to. Because my memory's very bad and I like to have something to look back on to see my experience. Also because I have friends who like to see the ones I take.
 
I took like 300 screenshots of Rooks Keep
I don't even know why
 
6:58 PM
@FAE If you want something easy to cook with little to worry about, get fish.
 
When it comes out on Steam I'm gonna lose them all anyway

Q: What happens if I buy a game I own on Uplay, on Steam?

3venticIf I own a game, which requires Uplay, on Uplay, and buy the same game later on Steam, what will happen? Here are a few of my thoughts of possible outcomes. Will I get a key from Steam, which I cannot use, or need to register a new Uplay account to use it? Will I be able to launch the game bot...

 
FAE
@MechanicalLoon Shall do!
 
Every order of fish (until the last upgrade) is exactly the same, and it takes about 1 second.
 
@FAE WELL I HATE YOU FOR IT BECAUSE I SPEND TOO MUCH TIME LOOKING AT ALL OF THEM!
 
FAE
6:59 PM
I haven't gotten soup yet.
@OrigamiRobot <3
 
Soup is without a doubt the most complicated food in the game to prepare.
