@BenBrocka What I want to know is how is that game consistently in the top 4 of games by player count
Like
I don't even know
 
@Unionhawk dudebros with PCs? I dunno
 
Dudebros don't own PCs. At least, not for gaming.
 
Dudebros play loud music on Spotify while playing Fifa on their new Xbone
(yes I know there isn't one yet, but SHUTUP)
 
@3ventic Seems to be random free games. I don't think I have either of those.
 
6:03 PM
ffs, I hate "your download will begin in X seconds" pages
then if you click "download now", it downloads it now...then again in X seconds
 
I should probably activate my origin games from the Humble Origin bundle from months ago. Surely key activation works now...
inb4 "NO FUCK EA"
@NickT And if you don't have adblock, you see all these "DOWNLOAD (safe download)" ads
 
@Sterno but then I'd die right after bc seriously how do you have so much health omg
HI GUYS
 
heh, this is on sourceforge where there shouldn't be too much of that crap
hopefully
 
@spugsley hi
 
@iKlsR I am skeptical that is physically possible, but I am not a physicist, so.
 
6:07 PM
@spugsley o/
 
@TimStone (but no, I assume it's completely fake)
 
@Yuki Didn't you play KoL too? There is some adventure in the sleazy back alley that performsa sex change.
 
@Arperum Yeah, but it's super-rare and not inadvertent.
You can choose whether to undergo it or not.
 
@Yuki Don't know anymore, been a while since I played KoL
 
@Unionhawk soccer is pretty popular in not-America
 
6:09 PM
Also, it doesn't change your sex in real life, as the review for that game suggests.
 
@Yuki True.
 
In less than 4 hours (2:00PM PST) Gabe will be holding an AMA on Reddit. Let's hope he shows up this time!
 
@badp I guess...
 
^ Gabe as in Newell
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm just happy this means I'll never need to worry about you surpassing me in rep again.
 
6:13 PM
@GnomeSlice He didn't show up yesterday.
 
although you realize SciFi.SE is now your highest reputation account.
 
@Wipqozn I will always have more rep than you.
 
@GnomeSlice Such Valve Time.
@Wipqozn Oh god.
 
@Wipqozn I should delete that one too
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't get why you didn't just stop arguing with people instead of deleting your account because all you did was argue with people.
=[
Not that you can see this anyway I guess.
 
6:18 PM
@OrigamiRobot So you can't see chat flags anymore now?
You are going to miss all the drama!
 
@GnomeSlice The problem was that was all he was doing. If the only thing he uses the site for is just causing him "stress" then what's the point in keeping your account going?
 
@Wipqozn You can just stop going to the site though.
For a while
I dunno, I don't get it.
 
@GnomeSlice When you visit chat everyday which often discusses site issues doing so is very difficult.
 
@Wipqozn No it's not. I haven't participated in meta in a long time
 
@Arperum That was pretty much the only reason I had been keeping it around.
 
6:20 PM
@GnomeSlice We do talk about site issues fairly often here.
Maybe we should have a separate room for that?
 
@GnomeSlice How often have we got down your neck about not postin NSFW or offensive stuff and you've told us "you're trying"? A lot.
Everyone is different. what's easy for one can be difficult for someone else.
 
@Wipqozn What?
 
@GnomeSlice Nothing in that sentence should cause confusion.
 
@Wipqozn I initially thought "What does that have to do with anything" until the second message. So there's a little confusion possible.
 
@Unionhawk Makes sense.
 
6:23 PM
@OrigamiRobot I wish you would unblock me. I thought we were friends.
=[
 
Good evening, folks!
 
UUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
Diablo 3 servers are down for maintenance again, an expected to be down until 2pm PST.
Apparently their latest patch introduced a lot of bugs.
 
How am I supposed to procrastinate now?
(the obvious answer is by playing Banished instead but shh)
 
6:26 PM
@TimStone Simple: do I what I'm going to. Shoot a bow.
 
@TimStone Don't they have pills for that nowdays?
Wait. looks up procrastinate Nevermind.
 
@TimStone Yeah, I'll either play Banished or La Mulana.
 
>_<
 
@Wipqozn The EU servers are up, you can play over there.
They are going down for maintenance in 9.5 hours.
 
@Wipqozn SOMEONE ELSE HERE PLAYS LA-MULANA?!
YES!
Where are you at the moment?
 
6:28 PM
cat destroys bajillionth pair of earbuds
buy new pair on Amazon
 
@Wipqozn Just in time for me to get home.
 
get 20% off shoes and bags promo code
._.
 
@Garan I'm exploring the backside of the temple.
@Arperum Are my US characters there though?
 
@Wipqozn Heh, I bet you're exploring the backside of the man.
 
@Wipqozn Nope, nothing. No acheivements, no characters, no gold. nothing.
 
6:30 PM
(Of course, that also means you're exploring the woman)
 
But you can play, I'll even join you :)
 
@Garan I have it but have only played like 5 minutes
 
@Arperum That's just silly.
 
@BenBrocka Play more. It's awesome.
@Wipqozn Are you playing the original or the remake?
 
@Garan I explored the moon light temple until the sub-boss, who was a pain (yes, I got the book fo the dead), and went over to the graveyard.
Remake @Garan
 
6:34 PM
@Wipqozn True. I have low level chars on Americas and Asia from playing on them at the launch, when some servers were less overloaded then others.
 
@Wipqozn Which guardians have you defeated?
 
@Garan I know, I watched most of it. Been playing The Swapper and Mercenary Kings instead though
 
@BenBrocka The Swapper is excellent.
 
@Garan I've defeated Amphisbaena, Sakit, and ellmac.
 
@BenBrocka Watched? What do you mean watched?
 
6:36 PM
@Arperum Let me know when you want to play your US character again.
 
@Wipqozn Even Sakit already? How many tries did it take you?
 
@Garan A lot of people play that.
 
I'm leaving him alone for more grouping.
 
I haven't really gotten into it yet though.
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, but I played it back before it became POPULAR.
 
6:36 PM
@Garan Okay?
 
@GnomeSlice It really is, wasn't expecting it
@Garan an old let's play by deceased crab
 
@Frank At a point where the US servers are online :) The afforementioned 2PM PST doesn't tell me anything. And I'm to lazy top look up time translations.
 
from a time before dudebros had discovered let's plays. Simpler times. Better times
 
@BenBrocka Pretty sure I raved about it in here like a million times.
 
@BenBrocka I thought so. That's where I heard of it originally.
 
6:37 PM
But yeah it's really amazing
such a gorgeous game
 
@Arperum Yeah. :P My time is somewhat limited today, so it may not work until...crap. Thursday.

Q: How is the health restored by the Dew Vial determined?

TimtechThe Dew Vial is definitely a good idea, but I'm wondering how it works. When you drink the dew (or when it is automatically drank at low health), how is the amount of health calculated? Is it amount of dewdrops in bottle times ceiling(level/5) or does it count up the worth of each dew drop accor...

 
@GnomeSlice love the story so far too, exelent presentation
judging by the map I'm not too far in yet though
 
@Frank No problem. There is still enough time to play :)
 
@BenBrocka It's not quite as big as I was expecting, but there's still a lot to explore.
 
6:38 PM
@Arperum Although, I've been spending a ton of time doing nothing but combine gems.
 
@Garan Maybe 10? Once I got down the timing on dodging his fist + avoiding the rocks while jumping onto his arm it wasn't that bad.
ellmac was the worst though.
 
@Wipqozn Really? Why?
 
@Garan I found it difficult to get the distance right so I could hit him with the knife without running into him.
Alos those fireballs can be annoying to dodge as well.
 
@Wipqozn Oh, my. You have yet to discover the boss-killing glory of the sub-weapon.
All the shuriken, all the time.
 
@Garan I didn't want to spend money to stock up on 60 of those.
 
6:42 PM
@Wipqozn Your loss.
 
@Garan I eventually beat it, so go me!
 
@Wipqozn I'm just waiting to hear how you handle Bahamut.
 
Is that the sky sproing boss?
I got to him and was like "fuck this shit", and skipped by it.

Q: Water grass after seed stage?

NinjakrebornDo you have to water grass even after it's removed from Seed phase? So once it starts growing, do you have to water it every day until harvest?

 
I suspect I'll need to stock up on sub weapons for that one.
Or wait until I get a better weapon.
 
6:50 PM
@GnomeSlice Small is fine too

@BenBrocka That's NOT what she said!

I'M SO WITTY AND CLEVER

Get ready to spam anarchy on TPP in a couple minutes guys!
 
I'm surprised they didn't democracy it last time
Also I guess viewership really has dropped since gen 1's average. Back then 50k was the "lull"
 
@BenBrocka The #1 command in the 30 seconds leading to democracy was anarchy, so...
 
I don't have the steam open right now. what's going on?
 
7:00 PM
lol
what's happen is they've been given a bogus macro that will do no good
it walks them into a corner
then goes back to the puzzle and... gets them nowhere
anarchy prevails, hours_spent_solving_this_part++
sweet tears being had.
 
@Wipqozn democracy got us to the end of the ghost gym two hours ago, then we blacked out. Now we're trying to go through with anarchy
I wouldn't mind demo on this after a few hours, but them using it multiple times daily to do shit like evolve croconaw is less interesting
I can't decide whether the fonts or the "10.00GHZ!!!!!!!!!!!!" are more offensive
the compression is easily 3rd place
 
user15026
@FAE What for?
 
I wish we had better words to differentiate "sensors in low orbit"/"carrying your dvds from Amazon" "drones" and "literally killing people" "drones"
 
7:15 PM
> The drones could potentially have many uses, including weather monitoring, disaster recovery, Earth imaging, or communications, the company has said, but clearly Facebook would be interested in that latter part.
 
user15026
Yeah, that would be helpful.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Reportedly potentially using them to bring internet access to areas like Africa. Not a lot of details yet, as it's a leaked story.
 
user15026
Interesting.
 
Step 1. Create a service everyone uses and is connected to 24-7
Step 2. Record their actions
Step 3. Conquer the world
 
Can we just appreciate the fact that the one company with direct access to people's personal data (unlike Google, which mostly derives that data) might be planning to buy mobile surveillance equipment?
 
crap I meant to record that before it officially left beta
 
FAE
@FEichinger Yeah, a little terrifying in that regard, especially considering how powerful their facial recognition is.
 
@3ventic Not me!
 
@BenBrocka I think it officially left beta quite a while ago.
Not sure actually
haven't been following it too closely
 
@FAE "a little"?
 
7:18 PM
Gonna play it at some point.
 
FAE
Someone built an Idris ship in Kerbal Space Program CC Anyone who backed Star Citizen and/or plays KSP
@FEichinger I feel like the implications speak for themselves. :P
 
@GnomeSlice I'll probably do a quick first impression video of it tongiht if I feel up to it

Menno Gouwonce in, i think over halve i walked back since things started to get hard. i went back al the way to the starting point to put up tent. now i cannot find my way. i can get to the first "teleport" pad. past this a way opens to the monster in a box. trough the teleport there are 2 short dead end...

 
@BenBrocka I'll go for 10 GHz, it's a little more novel
 
@Lazers oh no not the original western release numbers. Can we pretend that never happened

Q: Best way to get gems from clearing obstacles?

RapSometimes I find gems when clearing obstacles and sometimes I don't. Is this truly random? Has anyone seen a pattern? For instance, I seem to never find gems in the second, third, or fourth obstacle, but if I wait a few hours and spread them out, my gem-finding rate goes up. Am I imagining th...

 
7:33 PM
@badp You are seeing things that no longer exist. You should get some rest.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Uh... that's... an insistent question.
 
also, we need to decide what to do about now that this is a thing that exists and has been greenlit
begrudgingly change it to , or whatnot
 
@badp I just assumed it was the same game, is it not?
 
@GnomeSlice no
 
linley's crawl? Dungeon crawler is a genre so I don't really like dungeon-crawl as a name
stupid long names
 
7:35 PM
this is what we mean by
 
@badp That appears to be called "Dungeon Crawl - Stone Soup"
 
@badp Graphics? WHAT SORCERY IS THIS!?!?!? My avatar in Crawl is @.
 
@JasonBerkan webtiles, baby.
You can play over websockets now.
Well it's actually a year old thing.
@GnomeSlice Yes. Most people just call it crawl though and it hasn't been a problem so far.
 
@badp I know. I'm a purist when it comes to rogue-likes.
All ASCII all the time.
 
how many characters is "dungeon-crawl-stone-soup"?
 
7:39 PM
@badp 21
wait, do the - count?
 
then I guess we'll go with it
 
FAE
24
@GnomeSlice yes
 
@GnomeSlice yes, of course, but that's 24 so it's still okay.
It sucks we can't use synonyms :/
 
@badp Make it so.

@badp Synonym magic, keep the longer name.

@badp Synonym magic, keep the longer name.
 
@GraceNote What do we do when Dungeonmasterers of Castlekeepers, Solidsnakes and Stupindlongnamya comes out!!

7:47 PM
@badp Synonym magic, keep the longer name.
 
Democracy might be needed here...
 
@GraceNote The longer name for D67a is too long!
 
@Sterno Still 50% more than me!
 
(I just want to see how long we can do back and forth before you realize the synonym magic had already happened at the first iteration.)
 
@badp Synonym magic, keep the longer name.
 
7:50 PM
@GraceNote What do we do if the longer name has an è in it?
 
@badp Synonym magic, keep the longer name.
 
reboots @Grace
 
@GraceNote The synonym conflicts with shoes used by the local orphanage.
 
@Sterno What's your Damage now?
 
@badp Synonym magic, keep the longer name.
 
7:52 PM
Unfortunately @GraceNote is not responding. Abort, retry, fail?
 
@GraceNote The longer name is the song that wakes up Zalgo, he comes, he comes, Tony the Pony is free-handed circled.
 
@badp Synonym magic, keep the longer name.
 
@BenBrocka But she is responding. How do we make her stop responding?
 
@OrigamiRobot Synonym magic, keep the longer name.
 
NO! HELP! I'VE BEEN TARGETED!
 
7:53 PM
^C, ^C!
 
@OrigamiRobot About 60k. 75k-ish with Frenzy going
 
@GraceNote The longer name is worse than mobile hitler because @fredley made the game
 
With about +48% physical on top of that.
 
@Sterno That's pretty low. Y SO TANKY!
 
@OrigamiRobot I last played pre-1.05, so all my gear was strength/vitality/resist all
 
7:56 PM
@Sterno That's just silly. Why would you do that? Did you not want to die in one hit or something?
 
@Wipqozn I was really good at fighting elite packs until they eventually enraged and killed me!
enrage timers were the dumbest
 
@OrigamiRobot I COULD USE SOME HELP HERE FOX
 
@Sterno did they kill those?
 
@OrigamiRobot Why?
 
7:59 PM
@BenBrocka For elites, yes.
@Sterno Because Imperials will drop with the expansion. (The tier after Marquise)
 
@OrigamiRobot Well, that's nice. I probably was never going to bother upgrading anyway
I noticed blacksmith tomes and jewelcrafting pages and whateverthehell don't drop anymore
 
btw, new Humble Bundle for Android
 
oh, badp got inb4
bah
Oh, that's a good one too
 
Badland is surprisingly okay. No knowledge of the rest

@BenBrocka Vector is supposed to be pretty good. It's like canabalt but slower and with more obstacles
@BenBrocka Why is it surprising?
 
@NickT I know it's been in the works for a while
 
@NickT No, but it's not fully supported yet either
 
hmmm, 40% toughness or 12% damage. what to do? (playing d3 hardcore)
 
@badp it breaks MathJax on many of the SE sites
 
MathJax CDN doesn't support https
 
8:07 PM
https is opt-in anyway
 
and most child-metas don't have valid certificates
 
@Arperum Hardcore is really going to be hardcore with no way to trade.
 
Is there some prohibition against hosting it yourself?

@badp Welbog.
 
@GraceNote C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER
 
OK, that's better.
 
@GnomeSlice endless runner but actually interesting visuals (and some alright gameplay quirks). I tend to have a low opinion of endless runners that aren't Canabalt
 
@OrigamiRobot Welbog.
 
8:12 PM
Jetpack Joyride is actually alright too
 
@GraceNote Me too, me too.
 
@BenBrocka I never understood the popularity of Canabalt. It's okay.
@BenBrocka
Ugh, it has music
just mute it
 
@GnomeSlice It's visually really nice. I'm not sure I've seen gameplay beyond "okay" in and endless runner anyway
 
@BenBrocka Eh, fair enough I guess.
Vector is really pretty too
Really nice animation
Oh, here's the actual trailer

Q: Where are save games stored at?

KernelPanicI want to transfer my saved game to my other computer, but I can't seem to find where the game puts saves. Google doesn't turn up anything relevant to my problem which figures since it released today. So, where can I find my save files?

 
8:15 PM
It actually looks pretty sweet. I don't think it's an 'endless' runner anyway.
I think the next running game I'm going to be interested in is Glass World.
 
@badp eh?
 
@fredley I see your chat scripts are failing you.

he's going away on vacation and wanted games to play on his tablet

@OrigamiRobot I did.

Q: How can I lower my tap water, with a pH of 7, down to a pH of 4 without having to constantly use a pH tester or litmus paper to test my pH level?

user254353Help answer my title please. Or the question below. How can I lower my tap water, with a pH of 7, down to a pH of 4 without having to constantly use a pH tester or litmus paper to test my pH level?

 
If you hadn't blocked me on Steam too you'd have seen all the games I got @Fluttershy to show you that you were interested in.
=[
 
@AshleyNunn E_TOO_LATE
 
user15026
I think someone got lost.
 
user15026
(Seriously, people end up thinking MSO is the belonging place for the WEIRDEST STUFF.)
 
...tap water with a pH of 4? That's...odd
 
user20683
8:33 PM
@BenBrocka That's pipe corrosion level pH
 
@BenBrocka I read your message as .. ph of 47...
I was , "That's definitely odd."
 
@Ullallulloo That reminds me, I still need to play city and origins.
Although I hear origins is terrile so I probably won't.
 
@Wipqozn Origins isn't even the same developer. You can probably skip it.
 
FAE
@Sterno Thoughts?
 
This quiver. So much want.. I love sentries. They're so cool.
 
8:40 PM
@FAE The bit in the woods was surprising and I imagine will be the instigator of most of next season's drama
 
FAE
@Sterno Yeeeeeeeah. I was sad.
 
Dark Souls releases in the west before japan? That's surprising
 
@BenBrocka The PS4 did too!
 
yeah but Sony wanted to get out in the West where Xbox had, you know, a shadow of a chance. Japan was safe
 
@FAE On the other hand, he was getting pretty crazy
 
8:48 PM
Not sure if I'll be picking up Dark Souls 2 on release.
There are so many games coming out, and now I'm planning to get reaper of souls too. Think I might just wait on it.
 
@Wipqozn You probably hate puppies and sunshine too
 
I don't want to be rushing through it. Want to enjoy it.
 
hm speaking of regions how the heck does the US version not have an M considering the other ratings?
 
@Sterno Nah, I just want to take my time with the game.
I should probably make up a list. There are so many games coming out around now. Quite a few by Nintendo.
 
@Wipqozn I would if it was releasing on PC at the same time.
 
8:49 PM
@Fluttershy Wasn't the PC release of Dark Souls really buggy?
I heard it was a really poor port.
 
inb4 @Lazers SPAM!!!
 
I'd like to play Diablo before picking up my daughter from daycare. You can be done updating with your 12 hour server maintenance now, Battlenet.
Oh, good, they moved the estimate back yet another hour
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, which is why it's delayed this time. They're focusing more on making it a good port.
 
Always online ftw!
 
@Sterno Oh for fuck sakes.
 
8:51 PM
@MBraedley Lazers never got to post it..
 
What are they even doing? Don't they have a test environment to work in?
 
@Wipqozn They want to make sure it's down long enough that your desire to play reaches maximum. That way, they know you'll subject yourself to more!
 
Also, just roll back your changes.
 
@Fluttershy It tends to have the opposite effect on me.
 
@Sterno They're letting DICE handle it
 
FAE
8:55 PM
@Sterno Yeah, just a downward spiral, sad.
 
The buyers for my condo are doing their inspection today and I'm all worried they'll find ridiculously expensive things to complain about
@FAE It kind of seemed like the trajectory had been reversed but then BAM, nose dive
 
FAE
@Sterno Yeah, I was hopeful too.
 
Then again, at the end of last season I figured I knew what this season would be all about, but then the first episode basically switched that all up
 
I am not being very productive today. I should probably fix that.
 
I maintain that I look forward to seeing Emperor of the World, Frank Underwood
 
8:58 PM
Mind you, it's quitting time in less than half an hour
 
@MBraedley If you quit early, it'd be like being really productive at quitting.
 
anarchy intensifies
 
@badp No, not more TPP
 
TPP will continue until morale improves
 
are they spamming the entire puzzle solution?
