@FEichinger the happening has happened

5pike

@badp The only "real" RPG in the final fantasy series was Final Fantasy 1.

All others are "experience the beautiful story" or "experience what Japanese think is a beautiful/sensical story"

From what I saw, 11 was also pretty good.

badp

Upon further thinking about it, I guess role playing in FF games happens through party selection

5pike

@MartinSojka 11 was the MMO, right?

Martin Sojka

@5pike Yep.

badp

Usually when you choose the main characters that you do the bulk of the game with, you pick the ones with, um, the most plot

Martin Sojka

As for single-player Japanese RPGs, I think I like the Fire Emblem series the most.

Q: how can I get to the same match with my friend in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms?

Me and my friend are friends on Steam, and we want to play in the same team or at least in the same match. How can we do that?

5pike

@Lazers We need a new tag

3ventic

New tag for what?

Oh right

Q: Best strategy on buying champions and runes in LoL?

I started playing LoL some time ago, recently my friend wanted to start as well, and he asked me if he should purchase some RP (he didnt even have an account back then). This made me realize that I actually have no idea what to spend RP on and when to buy things. So I wrote down a few questions ...

Q: What are the timings for double pulling in safe lane, and pulling from offlane?

So I know the timing for pulling the safelane with the easy camps is XX:12 or XX:42, but if you want to double pull to one of the hard camps, then is there a best time to do this? Or does it depend on which easy camp you get and therefore how quickly the easy neutrals DPS down the creeps? (Note -...

@3ventic I think the steam tag can be removed too. this has nothing to do with steam, this is about the game. Not some steam specific feature.

3ventic

10:58 AM

@Arperum Just missed the grace period, damn

badp

@Arperum there might be game specific quirks?

I'm not sure how, though

Arperum

@badp Still only about the game and not about steam.

3ventic

Actually...

it's about getting to a game with a Steam friend

so it's specific to Steam version

whether that's useful tagging or not is another question..

Arperum

@3ventic If the game is only available through steam, that's just a game feature.

3ventic

It's on Wii U

Q: Can I view tags from other languages without switching my store language?

I use Steam in Finnish as I'm one of the voluntary translators for that language. As a result, my store is in Finnish as well and I only see tags made by other users who are using Finnish. Unfortunately there are approximately 3 people doing that, so not many games have tags other than the very g...

Q: Minecraft redstone logic - comparing 6 inputs

i do have 6 inputs. 3 A inputs, 3 B inputs. Each one of them can be set to on or off. I now have to compare those 6 and look who has more on-inputs. A or B? Does anyone have a solution for this? What i've tried so far: For each A and B, make a dropper counter, that stores up to 3 items. Every...

@5pike Who releases on CD-ROM these days?

Arperum

@MBraedley Those were cheaper probably. Noone wants these anyway.

Kevin van der Velden

@MBraedley it's flappy clone #1353636, it'll fit on a CD, trust me

MBraedley

@KevinvanderVelden Not saying it won't. Just seems like a waste of physical space is all.

Kevin van der Velden

@MBraedley it's flappy clone #135363632, it's a waste of any type of space

huh, Tomb Raider is all the way down at #65 by number of players. Would have though it'd be higher.

(head meets desk) I realize that I may need different versions of your SDK for Linux and Windows, but why are there differences between the same header file!?

StrixVaria

@MBraedley I was thinking more about hockey, and realized it'll probably kill you a little that I would prefer the Bruins make it to the finals, of all the teams in the east.

MBraedley

@StrixVaria ignoring!

user58869

@MBraedley what sdk is that?

MBraedley

@Alex Work related. Not allowed to say.

user58869

@MBraedley oh

Arperum

1:00 PM

@MBraedley That's not how you cross-platform.

user58869

guess what, I saw some platform specific conditional compilation in objective c header files once, there was a bit in there that was checking for windows

user58869

i mean the header files that come with xcode

user15026

@StrixVaria As usual, my answer is "I don't care as long as the Habs don't get it"

user58869

so why on earth are they checking if it's on windows

user58869

these are header files from apple by the way

MBraedley

1:01 PM

@Alex Oh, there's some #ifdefs in these header files, but I'm talking key, functional differences.

StrixVaria

@AshleyNunn Apparently @MBraedley is a Habs fan.

@MBraedley Oh, I am not sure we can be friends anymore ;)

@AshleyNunn just because the Leafs haven't won in nearly 50 years doesn't mean you get to hate on my team!

@BenBrocka what?

Ben Brocka

1:14 PM

@5pike it's an orbit simulator, basically

5pike

@BenBrocka Yeah, I know that, but how did they get the sund into such an orbit?

Ronan Forman

And that brings the number of people who've used my art as their gravatar to... 4 I think.

Ben Brocka

they somehow managed to place a dwarf star to displace the sun and cause the planet to start circling the sun (which is suddenly orbiting the dwarf star)

5pike

@BenBrocka Yeah, the "suddenly orbiting" looks like they edited the code to make that happen

or something

user15026

@RonanForman so basically you are awesome

@AshleyNunn he's on the bridge, everyone on the bridge is awesome

@KevinvanderVelden you have a very valid point

@AshleyNunn very good

LessPop_MoreFizz

"Tax benefits" == "tax evasion"

Origami Robot

@LessPop_MoreFizz Didn't the IRS recent rule that bitcoin was taxable as a good or sommat?

SO now people technically have to pay real money tax on their fake money.

LessPop_MoreFizz

It's considered an investment property in the US, equivalent to a stock purchase.

Which means it subject to cap gains taxes.
