@3ventic I don't even receive gmail notifications properly.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Update to Hangouts!

RedRiderX

@3ventic Yeah that's true.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria Never.

Yuki

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot It's better :(

RedRiderX

9:01 PM

@StrixVaria Doesn't that require G+?

StrixVaria

@RedRiderX Oh, right.

It does.

user15026

@Yuki don't remind me :(

FAE

@RedRiderX For all features, yes.

3ventic

I could technically get twitter notifications on my phone, but corporations tend not to use twitter to send their notifications and newsletters..

RedRiderX

Ugh G+

StrixVaria

9:01 PM

Not a huge fan of G+, but I had an account already so it wasn't a big deal for me to switch to Hangouts, so I forgot that part.

Frank

Ok. I really liked Ready Player One.

SaintWacko

@StrixVaria Same here

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria There are no more features I desire so I can't imagine how it would be better for me.

SaintWacko

@Frank I really need to read that

user15026

@Frank I love that book.

SaintWacko

9:02 PM

I read an excerpt in an english class and found it interesting

RedRiderX

@StrixVaria Well I think google made a G+ page for "RedRiderX" so maybe I could use that

Frank

I thought it would be a message about, "Hey, dummy, the internet isn't everything". But, really, it's a love letter to the birth of geekdom.

FAE

@Frank I liked it while I read it, but disliked it the more I thought about it.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot The main thing I like is that it fully syncs conversations to all devices where you have it installed, so if you walk away from your computer you see your past sent/received messages on your phone, etc.

GTalk was terrible at that.

badp

@RedRiderX G+ pages are not good enough for hangouts

3ventic

9:03 PM

@StrixVaria Skype does that too

StrixVaria

@FAE I felt kind of the same way.

RedRiderX

@Frank It is pretty swell.

badp

@3ventic kinda sorta not really

RedRiderX

@badp Aww

SaintWacko

@StrixVaria this is my favorite thing

OrigamiRobot

9:03 PM

@StrixVaria Oh yea, that is slightly annoying.

3ventic

Well, Skype does it P2P

SaintWacko

Wait, what? I never had any trouble with GTalk in that regard

MBraedley

Yay, home time! Well grocery shopping time, but end of work time!

3ventic

I guess hangouts does it using a server

RedRiderX

@3ventic Eeeeeeh

Well

Actually

Not as much anymore

StrixVaria

9:04 PM

@SaintWacko I didn't see sent messages from one location when I got to another location.

user15026

@FAE Oh?

Yuki

OrigamiRobot

But since I am adamantly against all social networking, i will pass.

SaintWacko

@StrixVaria that's weird. I wonder if you had something turned off

FAE

@StrixVaria My friend's review summed up my feelings pretty well.

3ventic

9:04 PM

Skype is starting to use big ads in the program though :(

badp

@3ventic Skype is also migrating to servers because mobiles and Windows Mobile and Windows 8 RT and...

3ventic

Well it sure is slow

FAE

@AshleyNunn See aforementioned review. It was a pretty divisive book in our book club.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria The biggest downside is that if GTalk connects on my phone while I'm not actively using it, someone could send me a message and I effectively never get it.

3ventic

The main problem with RT apps is that they're still trying to get a hang of it. Most of them have lots of issues with bugs and user interfaces..

OrigamiRobot

9:07 PM

"Oh, sorry, your message got sent to my phone while it was in my room"

user15026

@FAE Yeah, I am just going to keep my mouth shut on my views re: that, because it isn't going to go well. (Either I will not articulate myself well, or I will piss people off, or, well, likely both.)

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot On Hangouts, all messages go to all devices, but disappear from all other devices when you see it in one place.

@FAE I remember thinking it was mediocre, but for some reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 3.

OrigamiRobot

I tried the Hangout app for my phone and hated it immediately.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot What do you hate about it?

FAE

@AshleyNunn I'm not going to get mad if you have anything to say on it; we're all allowed our opinions.

user15026

9:09 PM

(I ask not to necessarily influence you, but out of curiosity.)

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn Considering I only spent ~5 minutes with it, I don't recall. I just remember liking nothing about it.

user15026

@FAE I hate reviews like that, because they seem to be pointed at making people feel terrible for enjoying "problematic" media....and all media is problematic nowadays by someone's standards, and someone is always going to jump on you for liking a thing. (Granted, this is partially fueled by my experiences with tumblr hate, but still)

FAE

@StrixVaria Yeah, like I said, I enjoyed more than I thought it was actually good, if that makes sense. Which I don't think is necessarily bad, but I was a bit disappointed in what it was versus what it could have been.

StrixVaria

I hate how I can't rate apps in the Google Play store without having my name publicly attached to the ratings.

FAE

@StrixVaria Indeed.

StrixVaria

9:11 PM

At least it warns you about that so you can choose not to rate.

RedRiderX

@StrixVaria OH YES THIS

I can't rate anything until I get a G+ account.

StrixVaria

@RedRiderX And even once you do, you won't want to rate stuff since it'll be tied to your public G+ account.

OrigamiRobot

I've never rated anything on the Google Play store. I'm not sure I've ever rated anything from any store.

FAE

@AshleyNunn He's not trying to shame anyone for liking it, he's merely pointing out what he felt were flaws in the writing. Nowhere in there does he say anyone should feel bad about liking it, he even says that he did like the book in the beginning of the review.

RedRiderX

@OrigamiRobot Eh if it's nice I'd like to give the dev a good shake but NO THANKS G+

user15026

9:13 PM

I've gotten to the point where I assume my every internet action is going to be horrifyingly public, and given up.

StrixVaria

@AshleyNunn I don't particularly want my real name tied to things.

Yuki

TIL @AshleyNunn has become an Internet exhibitionist.

RedRiderX

Badlands is great I would 5 star that all day if it wasn't for G+

user15026

@FAE I know he did. And I get that the intent to shame isn't there, but if I like a thing, and people just go "but problem problem problem problem all the problems", no matter what it is you like, it gets a little....frustrating

StrixVaria

@RedRiderX What kind of game?

RedRiderX

9:14 PM

@StrixVaria Well it's a tap-to-hover game but superbly done.

Yuki

@AshleyNunn But nobody pays attention when you point out good things.

user15026

(aka I make a terrible feminist /social justice fighter/whatever you wanna call it, because I don't want to have to analyze everything to death and talk about how bad it is before I can feel safe liking a thing)

StrixVaria

@RedRiderX Will install soon. I like those.

OrigamiRobot

@RedRiderX Considering that most review systems have things like "My girlfriend broke up with my while I was using this app. 1 star" or "I found $50 while using this app. 5 stars!" I don't feel like they really care about any single person's input.

RedRiderX

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frogmind.badland

user15026

9:15 PM

@Yuki No, those get ignored! Which sucks. :(

RedRiderX

There are ads but it seems like you can play everything for free if you want

user15026

@OrigamiRobot And also a lot of apps try to farm reviews by rewarding you

Yuki

The world of Internet reviews is fairly monotonous. Reviews are either "burn this thing forever" or "twenty-five thumbs up!". There's no middle ground.

FAE

@AshleyNunn But we can like things and still hold them up to critical analysis, you know? We can still like and love things despite or even because of their faults. I don't think it's unfair to do so or hold others at fault for wanting to.

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn This too.

RedRiderX

9:15 PM

Local multiplayer is rad too

StrixVaria

@FAE I love to analyze why I liked or didn't like a thing after experiencing it.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Although they really can't track it very well, I discovered, so if you click the button, let it take you out of the app, and go back in without doing the thing, you will likely get the reward.

RedRiderX

@OrigamiRobot Eh yeah true

StrixVaria

While I'm experiencing it, I like to focus on the experience. Afterwards, I like to analyze.

RedRiderX

Maybe that's what the real name thing tries to avoid

also devs can respond to individual reviews and you see that.

FAE

9:16 PM

@StrixVaria Likewise. I like to question the whys of it and such. If other people don't want to or like to, that's fine too!

And sometimes, I don't even have reasons I can or want to articulate. I just like a thing.

user15026

@FAE No, but to hold me at fault for not doing it, or not seeing it, or making me feel like I fail as a person because I didn't see all the injustice inherent in the system? Not cool. As I have said many times on tumblr, we are creating a culture where it isn't okay to just like things anymore, it has to come with all this justification.

user15026

I am tired of that.

user15026

I want to read my incredibly awful unfeminist romance novels, and I don't care what anyone else wants.

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn I only have like 3 apps that I ever use on my phone so it's pretty rare that I ever actually see things like this.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Fair enough, I play a lot of mobile stuff, so I see it a lot :)

user15026

9:18 PM

I have gotten good at gaming things for the premium currency bits :P

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn Yeah I've seen that a lot

OrigamiRobot

GTalk
MTGFamiliar
WordHero

RedRiderX

But not really for reviews

OrigamiRobot

That's pretty much it.

@AshleyNunn IMO, all mobile games are crap.

user15026

@RedRiderX Ah, a lot of the stuff I play does it for reviews as well, but I am likely playing a lot of "low quality" mobile stuff :P

user15026

9:19 PM

@OrigamiRobot THere is a lot of crap you need to sift through, for sure.

Yuki

@StrixVaria My problem is that most reviews don't do both sides. They're entirely monotone in nature, either completely for or against.

RedRiderX

@OrigamiRobot Now now that's a bit prejudice.

FAE

@AshleyNunn I completely understand that, but I don't see where in this particular review that you're getting the feeling that he's trying to SJW or like-shame on other people. He feels the same way that you do regarding that subject. He's mostly examining his own feelings on the matter and sharing them through the review.

StrixVaria

@Yuki I'm not talking about reading other people's reviews of a thing.

RedRiderX

Mobile is great for board and card games

StrixVaria

9:19 PM

I couldn't care less what other people think.

I like to figure out what I liked or didn't like.

RedRiderX

And casual games

user15026

@FAE That isn't the feel I got. Sorry.

FAE

@StrixVaria And why, and what it might mean to you that you did or didn't type thing.

RedRiderX

@OrigamiRobot I have like 4 screens full of apps and widgets now

I think I should start using folders maybe

OrigamiRobot

@RedRiderX I have lots of apps, I just never use any of them.

user15026

9:21 PM

@RedRiderX I put mine in like little folder things, but if I didn't, I suspect I would be the same.

user15026

(I have an addiction to mobile gaming, I think)

RedRiderX

Heh

OrigamiRobot

I rarely even use the browser on my phone.

I do not need a smartphone at all.

RedRiderX

@OrigamiRobot Eh >70% are games so that number might go down after a while too.

user15026

@RedRiderX Ah, I was going to ask what the controls are like.

OrigamiRobot

9:22 PM

All non-smartphones are just shitty nowdays.

user15026

(I hate anything where i have to move the actual device.)

Slurpee

But... the app Drawer is where the apps go! I'm too much of a minimalist..

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn Oh no none of that jazz

user15026

@RedRiderX I tend to go through stages where I all of a sudden purge most of my games, and then just....acquire more.

user15026

:13471148 <3 that game

user15026

9:23 PM

@RedRiderX Stuff like that makes me crazy. Like when the 3DS does gyroscope related stuff. Ick.

RedRiderX

@OrigamiRobot Not if you just want a phone

Yuki

@OrigamiRobot That's pretty much the only thing I use. I barely touch apps.

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn Heh

OrigamiRobot

@RedRiderX I do only want phone. They are all shitty.

RedRiderX

@OrigamiRobot Real buttons are worse then touchscreen buttons?

Get a grandpa phone

@RedRiderX Those are the shitty ones!

RedRiderX

They are like a million times cheaper

@OrigamiRobot Not if you want just a phone!

OrigamiRobot

@RedRiderX Yes they are. If I just want a chair, should I get a log from outside?

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn Right now I'm only really playing like 6 games

FAE

I own a ton of mobile games but I play pretty much none of them.

Unionhawk

9:33 PM

My friend is trying to opt to pay retail for his phones, so he can keep his old Verizon unlimited data plan.

Jason Berkan

I have an iPhone 4s (bought full price from Apple) on an $8 prepaid plan. One of the most expensive cell phones on one of the cheapest plans.

Trent Hawkins

@RedRiderX Pretty sure I'm on a contract plan of some-sort; it's a family plan.

Unionhawk

Because apparently he needs a ton of data, and totally doesn't have any stupidly fast wireless internet anyway to connect to.

RedRiderX

@TrentHawkins Ah okay if you ever get off of your contract see if there is a cheaper plan

there usually is

If you really don't want to upgrade

Unionhawk

Cell phone companies are trying so desperately to kill off the multimedia feature phones. (the middle-of-the-road phones that are between "can only send text messages and make phone calls" and "smartphone")

RedRiderX

9:35 PM

@Unionhawk Yeah almost no market or margin on them

Trent Hawkins

@RedRiderX it's not my plan, it's my dads. We're on a fairly bare-bones contract. Voicemail and more and more minutes than we use, but the lowest available.

RedRiderX

@TrentHawkins Ah okay

Yeah that's probably the cheapest you could get.

Unionhawk

Yep, probably is.

Trent Hawkins

@RedRiderX We were overpaying for the longest time though - we learned to check in periodically and see if the newer contracts offer the same or more for less $. Because they sure as hell weren't going to tell us our plan was no longer offered.

RedRiderX

@TrentHawkins Yeah changes can happen all the time

The complete lack of infrastructure is probably kind of terrifying for a lot of people.

FEichinger

I'm kinda jealous of the US these days. For the weather, that is.

FAE

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes, it is. I read that earlier today, trying to remember who linked it, I think Dan Savage.

FEichinger

I mean, I'm sitting here, on a friggin mountain, and we got about one week of snow this entire Winter. And that wasn't even "snow", it was more like "Yeh, there's some ... white bits. But they're gone now, you don't have to worry anymore."

Yuki

@LessPop_MoreFizz Wow, "#solidarityisforwhitewomen"?

@FEichinger Trust me, you don't want the Polar Vortex shit we've been dealing with. It's... not normal winter cold and snow.

Raven Dreamer

@Yuki I also blinked at, "Sisterhood is a poweful force that can kill. Mostly sisters."

FEichinger

@LessPop_MoreFizz Heck, I don't want Canadian Winter, I just want ... Winter.

Raven Dreamer

@Yuki Poll time -- should I buy Toukiden? Since I am, after all, one of the 3 people in the world who owns a Vita?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FEichinger Well then you don't want the US is having these days.

Because we're all getting Canadian Winter. Other than California, who are instead experiencing a drought and warmer than normal temperatures.

Yuki

@RavenDreamer I don't like to make suggestions for games I haven't played.

@RavenDreamer That was an observation about the toxicity of a movement that had turned on itself.

Raven Dreamer

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes, I understand that.

@Yuki :{

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RavenDreamer i.e. that statement isn't the problem, it's a description of the problem. :(

Raven Dreamer

Indeed.

FAE

@RavenDreamer Being a feminist is hard because you have to be feminist the right way or else be fearful that your allies are going to tear you apart for not doing it right.

Raven Dreamer

@Yuki Okay, well, then perhaps you can tell me what Monster Hunter Frontier G is? My brain gets all foggy whenever I try to think too hard about which of the foreign MH games is which.

Yuki

10:50 PM

@RavenDreamer Frontier G is the Monster Hunter MMO.

Raven Dreamer

@Yuki Okay. 'nough said. Thanks. Straightened out.

Q: How do I build a Lureplant farm?

I've read the wiki a few times on this, but I'm not quite certain I understand how lureplants work. I've seen people build Lureplant farms. How do you go about this? How do you transplant the lureplant? Do you have to build flooring right around the lureplant to prevent eyeplants from sprouti...

Q: Is there a way to farm mushrooms?

Is there any way to transplant mushrooms to a different location? I know if you dig them you get two caps, but they do not grow back. Is there a different way to transport them so you can put them near your base?

@RavenDreamer I'll be grabbing a Vita for the new Gust game, whenever it comes out.

FAE

@RavenDreamer There's like 4 of us outside of you in Shockfront with Vitas.

Raven Dreamer

@FAE Ohreally? Huh. I was really more making the joke about the vita sales. Heck, I'm pretty sure we have at least 3 Vita owners on the bridge.

In fact, I know we do, 'cause @FAE and @Fluttershy, right?

FAE

10:55 PM

@RavenDreamer Yus.

FEichinger

@RavenDreamer I think I made a vita joke at one point ...

FAE

@BenBrocka too.

FEichinger

Yielding the same "Hey, we all have a vita!" result.

Raven Dreamer

@FAE Oh, did you respond to my message? :D

13473110k when is that, release-date wise?

FAE

@RavenDreamer I'm pretty sure I did!

Raven Dreamer

@FAE I saw a little thingy pop up when I was using my Vita earlier, and I was like, "Huh? What's that?" And then I promptly started slewing monsters, and forgot until just now.

Frank

@RavenDreamer There's no NA release yet, as far as I know.

Raven Dreamer

So, I gave my Dad the first book in the Dresden Files for Christmas.

He called me last week to tell me that he picked up book 2 from the library.

I view this as a Good Sign.

Frank

@RavenDreamer Good choice

FAE

@RavenDreamer Oh cool.
