Q: What's the difference between a brick and a bottle?

asteriI've played The Last of Us a few times through, and as my "distraction" weapon I've always preferred bricks over bottles. I think that's mostly because in my first playthrough I saw Joel smash someone's skull in with one, but that's neither here nor there. Is there any actual advantage to eithe...

 
@Chippies Iunno
 
@Chippies Nomom
 
12:07 AM
@badp I see
 
It just says "Yum!!"
 
@badp huh? what is this "it" you are talking about?
am I missing something obvious?
 
@Chippies omnom.com
 
@Chippies yes
 
@Ktash neat, but seems to be US only
 
No Canada Ktash :(
 
Blame Canada
 
@badp ah, neat, an update
> Fixed each ascension from giving an additional hero soul.
that seems like a slap in the face to early game players
 
I never even noticed it
 
icon set or iconset?

Depends
 
@badp me neither, but we both got free 30 souls, most others here didn't
 
@Chippies No one asked me for my save file, because I'd happily give it to them
This is right after my first ascension with the 30 bonus souls

@badp How did it let you post that and not tell you it was too long?!
 
@Ktash Newlines
 
Psh, fine then
 
12:13 AM
@Chippies I got the 30 souls,n and did notice the one extra soul/ascension.
 
@Arperum I noticed it after someone (possibly you) pointed it out in the chat
 
@Chippies Never refresh.
 
@StrixVaria but if you have idle ancients, refreshing lets you skip the 1 minute wait time after you use skills
 
More awesome than the thumbnail implies
 
@MBraedley Not enough "Urgh"s
 
12:19 AM
@DwarfSlice Just wondering, but do you know of any good Viking Rock artists?
 
@RPiAwesomeness Define Viking Rock.
 
Similar to that
Shoulda made that clearer
 
@RPiAwesomeness Is the theme important or is it just the music that counts?
 
@Arperum The music style
 
Anyway: Ensiferum, Wintersun, Amon Amarth, Equilibrium for starters.
And then you go from here: music-map.com/amon+amarth.html
What about vocals?
 
user15026
12:33 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz There is no part of me that finds this even remotely amusing.
 
@AshleyNunn I find it to be pretty dead on accurate.
Amusment is secondary.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Regardless, I feel like it is incredibly inappropriate.
 
@Arperum I've got a few good bands w. vocals, kinda looking more for sans-vocals
 
@RPiAwesomeness Can't help you nowthen, I blame 2:40AM

thesupermanI am thinking about buying an Xbox One from eBay from US to Ghana for my birthday. It comes with Assasins Creed unity code for the game .Before I buy it these are the questions I have, 1.Ghana does not support xbox live so what should I do? I heard people say that you have to change the console ...

Q: Minecraft 1.8 maps not zooming out

Arti SchmidtI have crafted a map in 1.8 survival, and when I right clicked on it in my hotbar, the entire map instantly filled with information. Before 1.8 I had to walk around before it filled. Also, when I surround the map with paper on a crafting table to zoom out, nothing happens.

@DwarfSlice Got my first SS on a gold-door level. Ancient Garden. Beat your time by 5s.
 
user58869
last friday night
 
user58869
i think we broke the law
 
1:33 AM
@Alex What are you even doing here?
 
@StrixVaria that's what I figured.
 
sigh
 
@StrixVaria lame
@StrixVaria what rule was he breaking?
 
Whoa, what just happened?
I leave for a while and then, ANARCHY?
 
@DwarfSlice He called me a bitch and he has a history of posting disruptive and out of context messages and deleting them. He's been warned not to do that.
Last time he got suspended for 7 days.
 
user15026
1:35 AM
Posting things and then deleting them does not magically make thier content okay
 
@RPiAwesomeness viking metal. and no, sorry. I knew a guy in highschool who would know :/
Oct 22 at 0:33, by DwarfSlice
@StrixVaria DUSK RUN, SUCK IT BITCH
:)
 
@DwarfSlice You don't have a history of posting disru- oh
 
Now I wish I had the magical room owner power of seeing deleted messages.
@OrigamiRobot haha
 
@DwarfSlice: Wish harder? ;p
 
@DwarfSlice I can ban you if you want.
 
1:37 AM
It's been a while since I was banned.
Guess I hadn't really noticed.
 
2 mins ago, by StrixVaria
@DwarfSlice I can ban you if you want.
 
pls no
 
@Gn
dammit
I'm mod abusing your name back
 
How about no
 
@StrixVaria Make it @GnomieBear while you're at it
 
1:40 AM
@DwarfSlice You should see how bad my run on Ancient Garden is :|
You could easily beat it.
 
Ancient Garden is hard.
I think I just played that one till I beat it.
 
You have an SS
You played as dustkid
 
by 'beat' I mean SS
Non optimized
 
That's what I've been doing for the new levels.
I finally got all positive key counts.
 
The new levels are really easy

Q: How do you get to these silver-key-locked doors in the castle?

StrixVariaThere are some doors that I have no idea how to get to: Above where I'm standing in this screenshot, there's a red carpet floor. There's a door there, and a door just to the right of that and up a bit. How can I get up there?

If you know an answer for this...
 
I figured it was to make it easier for new players
 
It's the new nexus, so Mana wouldn't know :(
 
@StrixVaria I couldn't figure that out either
I tried for a bit then went to bed.
 
I tried for a bit then went to the city.
I feel like I'm missing a lot of castle levels, though.
 
I don't like the new hub
Too easy to miss stuff
 
1:43 AM
I'm not a big fan of having challenge in even getting to the levels.
Especially since there are no replays showing how to get there.
 
yeah it's kinda dumb
the very first iteration of the hub had no challenge to get to the levels
I don't think
That was a long time ago
 
That sounds so nice.
I wish I could unlock levels from the tome.
There are only 4 levels in the forest left for me to SS. 3 gold doors and then one with a ton of those enemies that shoot out 3 spiky things.
 
you only have to get to them once (if you have a key)
 
Those guys suck.
 
then you can just use the to- yeah
 
1:46 AM
His ban is now 2 days? wow
 
> One thing we've come across a few times, where I feel the moderators have done a subpar job, is in dealing with users who don't "get it". I don't tolerate people who intentionally subvert the system, and I would take a harder stance on trolls, etc. While this may not come up all the time, it has come up, and the community has been left with wanting more action. The experience on this site should be good for new and frequent users both, not just new ones.
From my nomination way back in the day.

Q: Where are the Red-Locked Doors?

MalabarbaI have 5 red keys in the game and I'd like to start opening the famous red locks. Problem is: I can't find them anywhere. I've googling this, but all I've found out is that it's somewhere inside the laboratory. I feel like I'm the only one who can't find them! Where do I find the Red-Locked Doo...

this is now out of date
 
Ugh dustforce
Why you do this?
 
@StrixVaria Solution: Play Civilization Beyond Earth.
:P
 
I do not have time in my life for a new Civ game.
@DwarfSlice I can't play Dustforce for too long at once because I start to get twitchy and just press stupid buttons.
 
1:53 AM
heh
 
The default keyboard controls are silly, but now I feel like if I change them, I'm going to take forever re-learning.
 
I NEED HELP GUYS
 
Ctrl for dash and Z for jump. Using your pinky and ring finger for the two most common things you can do. Ew.
 
@OrigamiRobot WHAT IS WRONG PAPER AUTOMATON?
 
I traded in a bunch of comics and I will be trading a bunch more tomorrow
 
1:53 AM
@OrigamiRobot PS4.
 
I can get a PS4 (which I only want for destiny) or a PS4's worth of MtG cards
WHAT DO
 
@StrixVaria I still use a controller.
 
@OrigamiRobot didn't literally everyone here say Destiny sucked big donkey balls?
 
Bumper dash op
 
I should try a controller again now that I know wtf I'm doing so I can pick not-stupid mappings.
 
1:54 AM
@OrigamiRobot PS4
 
@Chippies No, I saw no objections to it that I found reasonable.
"The story sucked" I don't care
 
@Chippies I did not say this. I am currently playing Destiny.
 
@StrixVaria A Jump, X light atk, Y heavy atk, RB dash
 
Sep 13 at 15:00, by Ben Brocka
Destiny is a bad game and no one here should purchase it.
 
@DwarfSlice Present argument for PS4
 
1:55 AM
@DwarfSlice I would probably do this but with B as dash instead.
 
@OrigamiRobot lots of indie games
 
28 secs ago, by Origami Robot
"The story sucked" I don't care
 
@StrixVaria No, because then you can't press it as quickly after jumping
 
@DwarfSlice Console exclusive indie games?
 
@OrigamiRobot some of them, yeah
 
1:56 AM
@DwarfSlice I do not have that difficulty with buttons.
 
@StrixVaria You can press them without moving fingers
 
It's so much easier to roll my thumb across 2 buttons than to try to manage doing it with 2 fingers, especially with the shitty bumper.
 
That is a really low priority thing.
 
@DwarfSlice Yes. My thumbs are fat enough I guess that this is not an issue for me.
 
@OrigamiRobot that's all I got, sorry.
also @StrixVaria you can atk while down-dashing if you use the bumper
I mean pick whatever mappings you want.
 
1:57 AM
@DwarfSlice I hate the bumpers so much, but this might be worth dealing with them.
I might stick with the keyboard and use space to jump
 
Also if you want the two new Dustforce OST tracks, I bought them already
 
I do not ever care about video game soundtracks.
3
 
I do if they're good.
 
there are sooo few games on PS4 right now, it seems
 
If I want to hear the music, I'll play the game.
 
1:58 AM
Dustforce's is good. Very good.
 
@StrixVaria Bastion would like to have a word with you
 
@Ktash Bastion's music suited the game very well, but it's not something I'd listen to outside of the game.
 
@Ktash I've heard the music while playing the game. I would never, ever want to listen to it while not playing the game.
I can't imagine why I would.
 
a friend got PS4, because he traded in his PS3 and got a good deal on it, and it's just sitting, gathering dust with no games
 
1:59 AM
That logic works for literally every single game.
 
It was good, but best in context of the game.
 
user15026
@DwarfSlice I listen to the songs with vocals a lot
 
user15026
Blergh, droppped mouse on keyboard
 
Because it is good music. Also, ODST would like to join in as well
 
1:59 AM
I have a huge playlist that consists only of game soundtracks
 
@AshleyNunn the one about the wall is pretty good, I've listened to it a few times.
 
I will never comprehend people buying video game soundtracks.
 
@Ktash eh, stuff like this is basically a film score.
 
@OrigamiRobot buying? They come for free in humble
 
2:00 AM
I can accept that people want to do it, but I don't truly understand.
 
user15026
@DwarfSlice That one is my favourite
 
@StrixVaria I care about them in the context of their ability to enhance the game and make it better. I do not care about them, and in fact, am actively disinterested in them as standalone recordings.
See also: Film scores.
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't get people who buy game soundtracks just because they're game soundtracks. I've bought a few game soundtracks, but only stuff I'd listen to out of the game.
 
@DwarfSlice It is orchestral music, yes.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes, that's what I meant. I just some words.
 
2:00 AM
@Ktash Right, but a film score is designed to complement the film, not be listened to on its own.
@Chippies that's weird.
 
@DwarfSlice ... tell that to every musical ever :P
 
@DwarfSlice Why would I ever listen to this?
 
@DwarfSlice Frozen Synapse has great soundtrack and I very happily listen to it outside of the game
 
@StrixVaria Because it's dope as fuck
 
user15026
@Ktash For me musicals are different than orchestral scores
 
2:01 AM

I can accept that people want to do it, but I don't truly understand.
 
@AshleyNunn this
 
thinking that game soundtracks are somehow different from any other music is just weird
 
@Ktash good job pointing to the exception that proves the rule.
 
it's music
 
user15026
I basically only really like shit I can sing
 
2:01 AM
@AshleyNunn Oh yes, they are. I was just poking the bear :)
 
@Chippies also this
I have only purchased a handful of game music albums.
 
user15026
It helps that I just sing, a lot, regardless of audience
 
user15026
(like in the park while I feed ducks!)
 
if I show a good song to you and I don't tell you it's from a game, you might like it for what it is, but somehow if you know it's from a game soundtrack it's not good anymore?
 
My first ever ascension for more souls than I currently had :D
 
2:02 AM
Frozen Synapse, Dustforce, Pineapple Smash Crew... I thought VVVVVV, but I guess I got it from humble?
 
that's just prejudice, I guess
 
@AshleyNunn Now I'm picturing that as a scene from a musical
 
Also one from a game called Boogey Boy that I've never heard of because I found it on bandcamp and it kicks ass
 
@Chippies Who said it's not good?
 
turns out it's some mobile game
 
user15026
2:03 AM
@Ktash I am not sure Out Tonight from RENT + duck feeding would make a good musical :P
 
@Chippies Yeah cause Skyrim did not win all those awards for their soundtrack :D
 
I just have no interest in owning it outside the game.
 
@OrigamiRobot Do you own other music?
 
Which is exactly what @LessPop_MoreFizz and @StrixVaria said as well.
 
user15026
Things I want to teach people: repeating a word in a chat room does not make it louder or get my attention any faster

@StrixVaria I care about them in the context of their ability to enhance the game and make it better. I do not care about them, and in fact, am actively disinterested in them as standalone recordings.
for most cases, this ^
but
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm pretty sure you're the only one talking about buying music here
 
@DwarfSlice I own music that is not inherently linked to another medium.
 
@AshleyNunn I'd watch that
 
@Chippies Fine, replace "buying" with "owning" in all my messages.
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't get why being linked to another medium makes it undesirable by default. That said, buying game music just because it's game music is just silly.
 
2:04 AM
I hate you ' key
 
@OrigamiRobot buying/owning - same thing
 
you're too close to the enter key
 
music is music, what makes game music different from any other music?
 
user15026
@Ktash I like singing Mimi because it's a register I can reach
 
user15026
And that song is fun
 
2:05 AM
I need to learn more rent songs
 
@DwarfSlice Because instead of just listening to the music, I can play the game and hear the music there.
 
@OrigamiRobot are you going to play a game just to listen to the music?
 
Hearing the music without the game just means I'm having less fun.
 
For some reason my brain is parsing rent songs as some communist thing where people sing about their slumlords.
 
@OrigamiRobot You shut your mouth!
Music is awesome and fun!
D:
 
2:06 AM
I didn't say it's not.
 
@JourneymanGeek Yeah, sounds like Rent :P
 
user15026
@JourneymanGeek The first song is actually kinda about that XD
 
"Less" does not mean "bad"
 
I listen to music while I play games and I can't stand listening to same soundtrack over and over, which is why I usually turn in-game music off
 
However less red flags and AKs? ;p
 
2:06 AM
@Chippies UGH NO

Q: Can you return to earlier maps in Dishonored?

LateralFractalI'm doing my first play through* of Dishonored and since I'm going the full-stealth route, the process will be slow. I wondering though - Can you return to earlier maps in Dishonored to grab goodies and upgrades you didn't fetch in earlier missions? Because if you can't I'll either need to lose...

Q: How long does it take for militia to become good?

mkaitoAssume I set up squads of 3, give them space to train and set them to a full-time training schedule of 2 dwarfs. How long can it take for my dwarves to become competent at what they are doing? Danger rooms and hunting wildlife aside, is there anything I can do to improve their training?

 
@Chippies Now you're just making no sense.
 
@DwarfSlice obviously it depends on the game
 
@Lazers flegs
 
if it's something I want to immerse into, then yes, I will leave it as is
 
2:07 AM
@Lazers YAY! Got the flags in time!
 
but for many games, I can get by with listening to foobar
 
user15026
@JourneymanGeek Yeah, more bohemia and AIDS
 
Its amazing, people keep disturbing me when I listen to music
 
user15026
Not sure why that message netted spam flags, the message itself isnt spam....
 
2:09 AM
yet when I am doing nothing at all, people leave me alone.
 
user15026
it should have been like...question flags
 
beats me. Worth deleting tho ;p
 
user15026
@JourneymanGeek Yeah, I napalmed it
 
Oh, I flagged the question ;p
 
user15026
Shiny :)
 
2:10 AM
I flagged the message. I do that so it doesn't sit in the chat transcript and keep the links to the spam around
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz In most cases, this, but it really depends on the game. Some games (and indeed films) have awesome music for standalone listening. But stuff like Bastion I have no interest in listening by itself.
 
But I am not owner so I cannot delete. Thus, flags fo' dayz
 
Huh, I have people possibly stopping by and my apartment is a mess. I should fix this thing.
 
user15026
Possibly, yes
 
2:13 AM
BTW, if you like hip hop even a little bit, the new Run The Jewels album has been put online for a free download, and it is fantastic.
 
@Chippies "no copyright is intended"
lol
Also that game was a lot better than I thought it would be.
I'm not sure I really took away as much as I was supposed to from the story though.
 
I didn't finish it :(
but it was really good
 
@Chippies You should.
 
the story was amazing
 
2:15 AM
@StrixVaria Why not? Good sound/music is crucial to creating a great game.
 
15 mins ago, by LessPop_MoreFizz
@StrixVaria I care about them in the context of their ability to enhance the game and make it better. I do not care about them, and in fact, am actively disinterested in them as standalone recordings.
He worded it better.
 
@StrixVaria I do not agree with this as a blanket statement, but I mostly agree with the sentiment behind it.
I have not yet encountered a film score I have any interest in listening to on its own.
 
Do you feel the same way towards movie soundtracks?
 
Nope. Can't explain why.
 
If the music is created explicitly for the movie, yes.
 
2:18 AM
I used to listen to John Williams movie soundtracks, but that was like 10 years ago.
I don't anymore.
If I'm listening to standalone music now it was created to be standalone music.
 
The thing I don't understand is the people who buy game soundtracks... just because they're game soundtracks.
 
@DwarfSlice missing out, there are some really nice film scores
 
Alright, I'm off to run through corn fields like a crazy person. You kids don't have too much fun without me
 
@Chippies eh, as I said, I have not yet encountered one I would like to listen to on its own.
 
@DwarfSlice I think it really depends on your "music taste"
 
2:19 AM
If the music is created for a movie/game/show/whatever, that is the context it belongs in.
 
the film scores and game soundtracks often fall into the genres you don't normally listen to
 
@OrigamiRobot So if you liked an artist who also makes music for games, would you only listen to their non-game work?
Genuinely curious.
 
Depends on where I hear it first.
 
Why?
 
If I hear it on its own first, the connection to the game isn't set in stone.
 
2:21 AM
What about Elton John and some of his Lion King songs?
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't understand what you mean.
 
> NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTS INGOONYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMA BAGIIIIIITHI BABA
 
@SimonL If I ever want to listen to Disney songs, I have to watch the scene they were in.
 
Be Prepared is the single best song from a Disney movie.
 
@StrixVaria You listen to movie music but not game music?
 
2:23 AM
@DwarfSlice No.
 
@DwarfSlice The music doesn't need the game if I didn't hear it for the first time in the context of the game.
 
But I know the music.
 
So no "Can you feel the love tonight" Origami?
 
@SimonL Worst song from that movie.
 
what
 
2:23 AM
@StrixVaria This
 
@OrigamiRobot what about games like frozen synapse where all the tracks are played in the same context, just randomly shuffled?
 
@SimonL Every single other Lion King song is better than "Can you feel the love tonight"
 
@DwarfSlice The context is still me playing the game.
It is tied to that experience.
 
@OrigamiRobot Also I'm talking about an artist who makes music for games, but also releases music by itself. Does that make all of their music off-limits?
 
Also every song from Aladdin is better than "Can you feel the love tonight"
 
2:24 AM
@StrixVaria You go too far.
 
3 mins ago, by Origami Robot
Depends on where I hear it first.
 
@OrigamiRobot well you will never hear the standalone music in the game
 
@DwarfSlice You just linked a bunch up there
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't think I'm explaining myself correctly.
Let me give you an example.
 
@StrixVaria Lets try to think of worse songs
 
2:26 AM
@OrigamiRobot standalone music release: nervoustestpilot.co.uk/album/steel-and-glass-ep
 
@OrigamiRobot game soundtrack by same artist: nervoustestpilot.co.uk/album/frozen-synapse-original-soundtrack
the other one has nothing to do with any game
that's what I meant.
 
but it's a similar style
 
I don't understand what you're not getting about what I said.
 
2:27 AM
so if you hear their game music first, you can't listen to their other stuff?
 
That's weird to me.
 
Origami, did you like the daft punk/tron music? Would you listen to that outside of the movie?
 
I meant no, you're not right
 
2:28 AM
If I hear music for the first time while playing a game I can only enjoy that music while playing that game
Assuming it's music made for the game
 
But you can listen to other music from the same artist that isn't from a game.
 
Or if I think it's music made for the game
 
or music from a game that you've never heard while playing the game
 
I get it now
 
2:29 AM
@SimonL I don't know what music you're talking about or what movie.
I mean, I know of the movie, but I never saw it
 
user15026
@SimonL That is actually one of my exceptions because I like that style regardless of its attachment to the movie
 
I hate it when gifs have words on them and the gif only shows someone saying part of the words.
 
No part of that URL makes me want to click it
 
I get around that problem by being a terrible lip reader.
 
2:35 AM
Well, gifs maybe
