Some shows, that's not important
 
@Chippies Geology or Electricity?
 
@OrigamiRobot tough one, geology is probably better, I took electricity first tho
geology will help you A LOT with coal
thus also with steel and gears
 
What do geologists do?
 
without upgrades, they get you coal
 
@OrigamiRobot Play with rocks.
 
9:10 PM
with an upgrade, more coal and also gold
wait, lemme see what electricity does
I might be mistaking it with something else
 
I'm glad I didn't waste my compendiums on acoustics
 
oh, electricity unlocks magnetos, which is a waste of time and resources
but you do need electricity to progress
as of now, I have one magnetos and I never have it on
 
@Chippies It's a global production buff!
 
@OrigamiRobot yeah, definitely get geology
@OrigamiRobot it is, but the costs are too high
I can't keep up with oil usage
and I rather make titanium than have a tiny global increase
 
Just build more oil wells!
I do agree that geology seems to be the better first choice
 
9:13 PM
@OrigamiRobot for every 2 magnetos you need 5 oil wells to break even
add in calciner costs and you're spending everything on oil wells with very little benefit
as of now, it's not worth it for me yet
 
I don't have a calcinator
 
@OrigamiRobot can you get it? because you should
 
Wait, yes I do
 
I got like 300 titanium over night or so
 
I have 2
 
9:14 PM
I am up to 8 now
 
I need more gears for more oil
which geology will get me
 
yeah, geology is real good
 
what game are we talking about?
 
I wish I got geology before I got electricity, but I got both now, so whatevs
@spugsley THE KITTEN GAME!
 
omg
 
9:15 PM
only the best progress game EVER
 
er... in Python, what is [0:0] in a list comprehension?
i.e. blah[0:0] = ['something']
 
@chippies best of the worst is still the worst

yesterday, by Origami Robot
Kittens Game is the best incremental game I've played.
@Unionhawk hates fun and is hereby banned from cool dude high fives
 
@Unionhawk what if it's worst of the best?
 
┬──┬ ︵ ┻━┻
 
9:18 PM
Who wants the open spot? @Chippies?
 
(I'm assuming it's a prepend operation, but I want to know for sure)
 
@OrigamiRobot raises hand for a high five
 
It's fun, but I hate incremental games as a genre
For various reasons
 
@Unionhawk did you get used by one and dumped later with no notice?
 
Including the concept of "idling productively"
 
9:19 PM
@Unionhawk would hate IdleRPG
 
what if I told you... it's as productive as playing any game is?
 
See, the thing is, I always ended up with one of those things in my pinned tabs, and then fail at productivity all day
 
@Unionhawk l2idle noob
 
Instead of failing at productivity for an hour or two gaming session.
See that's the thing, I can't sit patiently for a while waiting for things. If there's not something I could do to progress, other than wait, then I get bored basically immediately
 
I see incrementals as things to fill in time between other things.
 
9:24 PM
So don't wait for the game, do other things
 
But see, that's not how my brain works
 
┬──┬ ︵ ┻━┻ ︵ ┬──┬
 
This is a case of hate the player not the game :P
 
360 noscope
 
@Unionhawk I can cut you a deal on a new brain.

Q: Expanding your Realm Without War

EdwardI really enjoy the diplomacy, marriage, and plot options in Crusader Kings 2. I'm after options and ideas on ways to expand my realm in this game without war. Examples from games you've played would be awesome if you have them. I find it more fun to scheme sometimes as war can be a bit straight f...

 
@Sterno See, if I'm always going for the most drama, that means you can't be. Which runs counter to your entire premise!
 
I always hear "No, 3 hour study session is not productive you should take breaks" and I'm like "No, my brain works better this way breaks ensure nothing will get done"
 
there're games that are addictive and still idle
(after all you'd either regret or just forget) :P
 
@Unionhawk Better solution, don't study!
 
Except no
Shut your face
 
9:27 PM
Be more like me!
 
There's this game called Cookie clicker orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker
 
You mean more not in school anymore?
 
@Unionhawk That would be optimal, but barring that, just stop studying.
 
No, you don't understand, I fucking need a 3.0 to stay at the University. This is a non negotiable thing
 
@Unionhawk I don't see the problem :P
 
9:29 PM
...
 
Maybe we're calling different things studying
 
Probably
My studying tends to be "do your goddamn homework @uni"
 
Homework is not studying, but not doing that would also be more like me.
I don't recommend being like me in that way.
 
I always did my homework during class time
 
Also, don't make decisions that result in being there for 6 years, that's not fun.
 
9:32 PM
Made sense to do the work while the teaching on how to do it was being done
 
I'm pretty much in for at least 4.5
 
What are you in for?
 
computer engineering
 
murder
 
9:33 PM
If you're going to change majors, please check class scedules to see when a good time to do it is.
 
@Unionhawk 4.5 years?
 
Yes
Minimum, total, barring summer semesters
 
I had to go half-time for 3 semesters.
 
I need a good background music station on grooveshark. I normally just do one of the techno stations, but I'm not feeling either of them at the moment
 
@Unionhawk I don't know how you're school does it, but I don't recommend summer sessions unless you liked the way high school does things.
 
9:35 PM
Any recommendations?
 
Cramming a whole semester into 4 weeks is horrible
 
@Ktash find a gaming station and listen to Kingdom Hearts
 
HOMETIME
 
I've got like 2 classes in my "retake" list, and I don't want to do 20 hours
 
9:37 PM
@Batophobia That might be a good idea :) Thanks
 
@Ktash Kingdom Hearts is almost always a good idea
 
@Braiam That is punishable by this client is fired now.
 
@Batophobia *always ;)
 
@Braiam As much as you might want it, stupidity is not a crime
 
@GnomeSlice WARNING: these games can kill your left mouse button (?
 
9:49 PM
@Batophobia starts a legislative movement so stupidity is typified and can be prosecuted
 
@Braiam You have my vote
 
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Finally after 9 hours the server's switched off badlands
 
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo‌​oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
@badp ?
 
TF2 stuffs
 
9:56 PM
It's called Reflex: like Quake 3 but recreated, and better than ever.
Sweet merciful god if I had a credit card to back this project...
 
10:11 PM
Reflex is asking for a lot of money, but I suspect they have a good chance of making it.
 
@GnomeSlice It reminds me of Sid & Al's Incredible Toons
...and that could be true now that I see the total amount :/
 
@Fabián The people who worked on the Incredible Machine (and incredible toon machine) are the ones making Contraption Maker, so that's not surprising. :)
 
I guess so.. So many comebacks this year!
(or at least lately)
 
Where are the shooters that let you store more than 4 weapons in your arsenal / inventory (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 buttons)? :P

Q: Should I beat my monkey or buy him drugs?

LohorisIn the "Heart's Desire" storyline, I'm at the "a simian revenge" step. Now, I understand that my monkey is upset since I had him do some errands (getting some First City Coins IIRC?), but he's really asking for too much Prisoner's Honey: I have a little more than 500, he's asking for 1400, and I...

 
10:34 PM
@Lazers Fallen London is the greatest
I should get back into it but I don't have the time
 
@Unionhawk ...I just got a Rent-A-Center ad on that video featuring a manhunt with lots of police where one of the officers interrupts proclaiming that more importantly everyone can go get a Galaxy S5, which I feel is in poor taste at the moment.
I mean, Rent-A-Center is always in poor taste, but.
 
@Unionhawk lol, these videos
lol, these are so random xD
 
11:17 PM
Ahhhh personalized Steam Store homepage (or just open Steam)
 
@TimStone Wait what?

Q: Kerbal stuck in seat, refuses to get out

PMGoldsteinSo I created a rover with an EAS-1 control seat and sent it to the Mun. Everything went well, but now the Kerbal is kind of in the seat and kind of not. It looks like he's trying to walk when I drive. There's no "leave seat" option. He can EVA and take a surface sample though. He'll even grab on ...

 
user15026
@TimStone I don't like it.
 
I didn't know this was a thing
 
11:22 PM
Nintendo just loves making cheesy commercials.
 
Hey am I an officer of the Arqade group?

That is so nice
 
darn Masculine/Feminine forms in frnech
 
I think that would be neat to try out
 
11:24 PM
Looks new to me
 
@FAE Never be self-trolled by clicking on a game you already bought in a previous sale again!
 
> Yes, you can recommend any game that is available via Steam. But you can’t recommend games that don’t exist.
This is a redundant paragraph.
cc @StrixVaria
This strikes me as something that would bother you. FEEL MY PAIN.
 
Aww I don't see the curator tab for Arqade :(
 
user15026
@Wipqozn No shit, guys :P

Looks like they took some cues from Enhanced Steam

I really don't like the blue.

Q: Jre VS JDk (one seems to have priority over the other)

CharlieKingHow can I stop my JDk 7 from taking priority over my JRE 7? I'm running into the problem where I download the JRE 7 for minecraft and the JDK 7 for Programming and when I have both Installed Minecraft act's Funny and doesn't work. The main problem in minecraft is that i can not select (highlight)...

 
@AshleyNunn Blue is a fantastic colour.
I'm not sure what the context of that is, but just wanted to stick up for my buddy blue.
Can't have you haters hatin' on my buddy blue.
 
The blue kind of goes with my profile so I give it a thumbs up.

Except the top bar, the contrast between the link text and the background is weird compared to the banner below it.
 
FAE
yaaaaay
 
@FAE THANK GOODNESS
 
FAE
Looks like I have to update my answer here
 
user15026
@TimStone Blues float a lot for me so this is icky to look at
 
This "personal discovery queue" is interesting.
It's pretty general for me right now, but it'll be interesting to see how well they can tailor it to what you want.
 
11:35 PM
@TrentHawkins attempted to nuke the leftover pie. In the tin plate. With the cling wrap.
This amused me greatly.
 
@Frank oo..pretty sparks and whatnot? :D
 
@RPiAwesomeness no... just had the microwave open and stood there for a minute as I realized that I was holding the pie plate that was to go back in the fridge, and not my plate.
 
@TrentHawkins lol
 
@RPiAwesomeness The number of times I've nearly put the sugar into the fridge rather than the cupboard (or the milk in the cupboard) after preparing my tea...
 
user15026
11:44 PM
@TrentHawkins I was making cake once and was like "WHERE IS MY MILK I HAD MILK" and was like "maybe I just forgot to get some" and went and got some and came back and went back to cake, and then went to get the icing sugar from the cupboard and apparently somewhere near the beginning of the baking process I had put the milk in there.
 
user15026
I was very confused
 
@AshleyNunn It wasn't you, it was the magic cake milk fairy.
 
@AshleyNunn For pete's sake, this is confusing...
 
@RPiAwesomeness Not really, it's fairly linear.
 
@Yuuki I just glanced over it. It's technically a run-on sentence. Once you take time to actually read it it isn't bad.
 
user15026
11:47 PM
@RPiAwesomeness Where milk? Get more milk. Bake cake. Where icing sugar? OH LOOK MILK
2
 
Albeit incorrect grammar
@AshleyNunn :D That is actually quite amusing
 
user15026
@RPiAwesomeness shrugs, gives absolutely zero fucks
 
Anyone up for Le vin rouge?
 
@RPiAwesomeness ... Red wine?
 
Sigh...Oh french
 
@Yuuki Yeah
Technically: The red wine
 
user15026
@RPiAwesomeness the capital is unnecessary, as is the pedant-ery over "the"
 
I was emphasizing the the.
 
user15026
has no patience for this stuff because language is contextual and people need to get that
 
@AshleyNunn Happy? :D
 
user15026
11:50 PM
OH BUT I DO HAVE BEER
 
user15026
hm.
 
@AshleyNunn "Where beer? Get more beer. Bake cake. Where icing sugar? OH LOOK BEER!" Baking cake drunken style!
 
user15026
@RPiAwesomeness nope, drunken cake will be shit cake, baking needs your attention
 
user15026
trust me on this
 
@AshleyNunn Have you attempted either of those :D
 
user15026
11:52 PM
never bake angry, never bake inebriated.
 
user15026
@RPiAwesomeness No, because I don't want my cake to taste like shit
 
user15026
Baking is a science and shit
 
user15026
so like if i dont want to waste time and ingredients and stuff, you do it right
 
@AshleyNunn Or burn yourself.
 
user15026
otherwise just go buy a box.
 
user15026
11:53 PM
@Yuuki That too, I do that enough without being intoxicated
 
Drunk + oven = third-degree burns and no more house.
 
user15026
I've given myself second degree burns with caramel while sober
 
user15026
And lit a pan on fire full of steak also while sober
 
user15026
why would you ever add more risk
 
user15026
being drunk DOES NOT make everything better
 
user15026
11:54 PM
In fact, it makes very little better.
 
@AshleyNunn Just makes everything more blurry.
 
user15026
@Yuuki Having spent a good amount of a year in the bottoms of various bottles, yeah, it's not great
 
user15026
anyway, I am getting rant-y and preachy
 
user15026
so perhaps I will find something else to do for a bit
 
@AshleyNunn Bake a cake!
 
11:55 PM
@AshleyNunn Play more Pandora's Tower!
 
user15026
@Frank I have to find my copy. I know it's here, but something tells me Norbert also played with it....
 
@AshleyNunn Batted it around, probably under a couch?
Yeah, Bela does that lots, if I let her.
 
user15026
@Frank That's my thought, I found a book I was reading under there yesterday
 
Does coal have any use beyond steelmaking? (cc @Chippies @OrigamiRobot)
 
@Frank you need it for multiple buildings
as in, to run them
 
11:59 PM
 
and steel is like, very needed later on
 
@Chippies I know the Steamworks, but that's it.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Except if you're Hannah Hart (CC @OrigamiRobot)
 
So I have the Steamworks. Dunno where to go from there.
Printing Press?
 
user15026
@FAE I find her obnoxious, tbh
 
11:59 PM
@Frank actually, you're right, it's only steamworks
