I did a bad thing

Also

You are a dog lost in a randomly generated city. Looking for food. Looking for friends. Looking for home.

cc @LessPop_MoreFizz something about a Dog Park

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice that game looks fun but it lacks pugs

And the "your dog in the game" is crazy expensive and sold out

GnomeSlice

@GodEmperorDune Right now it's all tallish dogs

Arperum

12:28 AM

@Yuuki Once I finish my current ascension I'll put enough money in the KoL clan to buy a basement, would you mind making me leader again, so I can buy it the second I put the meat in? I'm currently doing the palindrome paret of the macguffin quest, after that there is the war and the sorceress, so in a couple days I'll be able to lift hardcore and access my meat in Hagnk

Or at least I should be able to get to it in a couple of days.

GnomeSlice

Neat.

Yuuki

@Arperum Made you Dungeon Master.

That should allow you to open up the basement.

Frank

Bridge, how has this not been flagged?

GnomeSlice

@Frank How do you know it hasn't?

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice they have a Boston terrier in the trailer; bostons have a very similar body build as a pug, only the face is different.

GnomeSlice

12:41 AM

They'll probably add it, then

although it might be hard to do a pug face in low-poly

GodEmperorDune

it's mainly the ears and color scheme

I think I will back it and start bugging the creator

GnomeSlice

Dog person, I guess?

I'm tempted, though.

GodEmperorDune

Yeah

He gets the dog body language down really well

Especially the playground type stuff

GnomeSlice

that's a separate game mode, I think

Dog Park

It's probably in the main game too though, parks with dogs

GodEmperorDune

It was in the trailer

GnomeSlice

12:46 AM

also

> This project is the culmination of a lot of work and a bunch of crazy interests: procedural content, urbanism, quadrupedal locomotion, and dogs -- how they play, the stories we tell about them, and what makes them tick.

@GodEmperorDune Right, but the Dog Park game mode is what the game was originally (I think) and is included.

GodEmperorDune

Dog locomotion is pretty advanced actually

GnomeSlice

yeah

GodEmperorDune

I believe they were doing something with 3 legged dogs to make robots better handle losing a limb

Frank

12:58 AM

So VW is throwing engineers under the bus in an attempt to salvage their reputation.

GnomeSlice

Context bro

it's a thing

Trent Hawkins

@Frank So... Engineers are getting thrown under a VW Bus, eh?

GnomeSlice

@TrentHawkins hue

Frank

@TrentHawkins Awwww. That was bad.

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk Oranges are delicious no matter how you cut them (cc @AshleyNunn @Chippies @Sterno)

@Chippies @GnomeSlice is, and @Sterno wishes he was Canadian. Also @Frank.

Frank

1:02 AM

@Wipqozn I don't wish. I am.

Also, I feel like playing FF14. But have nobody to play it with.

Wipqozn

@Frank That is indeed a poorly worded sentance

@Frank I'd play with you if I wasn't a jerk

Frank

Okay. Guess I'm making pants again.

user15026

@Wipqozn Truth.

Aequitas

how do I find out who rejected my flag?

user15026

You don't.

Aequitas

1:11 AM

was it you!

but they're wrong, they must know!

GodEmperorDune

@Aequitas you can always qq on meta

Aequitas

@GodEmperorDune sounds good!

GodEmperorDune

Remember the key to a good meta post is to berate and ridicule the people who you are trying to get on your side

@Frank vw done goofed. Throwing engineers under the bus makes it harder to recruit new engineers in the future. So good luck with that

Frank

@Aequitas Good luck with that.

If you make a meta post that sounds like whining, chances are extremely good it's going to get downvoted.

If, on the other hand, you have a good argument, you might get a good answer. But the flag will still be declined.

Private Pansy

Picked up a copy of Paper Girls #1 yesterday on a whim. It's so good

GodEmperorDune

1:18 AM

@Aequitas if you get downvoted, be sure to edit your post to show your hostility towards said downvoters

"Downvoters, come at me bro" is always a winner

Q: Zombies don't fight back

I play Minecraft once a while. But this time when I played I noticed something weird. The zombies walk around me as if I am not there. The game is in normal mode and when I attack the zombies, they just stand there. I'm not sure what's going on. In addition, when I trap them in an enclosed wood h...

LessPop_MoreFizz

Welp, I guess I'm going to california in a month to hang out with people who are going to a convention that I don't really have any direct interest in.

user15026

1:31 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz yay?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn There will be much drinking

user15026

okay, that makes it maybe more yay?

Unionhawk

Yay!

Dammit new SwiftKey yay is a word

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn Indeed.

Chippies

@Wipqozn I forgot about @GnomeSlice, but I imagine he doesn't have much experience with banks yet and wishing to be Canadian would count if @Sterno actually resided in Canada. As for @Frank... blame @fredley for being first tab completion for @fr

GnomeSlice

1:34 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Don't go then?

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn well duh

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice But I want to hang out with the people because they are good people. The fact that they will spend their days at a dumb video game convention for some bad video games is their business. I will be sleeping off my hangovers.

GnomeSlice

which video games

LessPop_MoreFizz

The ones that are made by a very popular company from orange county california who run their own convention

Unionhawk

Oh, those games

GnomeSlice

1:38 AM

I still don't know what you're talking about, but I guess you hate popular stuff so it makes sense

two bugs

I hate popular thing!

Chippies

@GnomeSlice I would assume either blizzcon or quakecon, whichever's scheduled earlier

@GnomeSlice do you use ING Direct / Tangerine bank?

GnomeSlice

@Chippies Uh... I'm with President's Choice

Chippies

huh, didn't know they had a bank

GnomeSlice

I've never even heard of either of those

Unionhawk

1:43 AM

Blizzard is in orange county at least

Chippies

@GnomeSlice ING Direct used to be a thing for a long time, they rebranded as Tangerine reccently

but that's all I know

Adoray was trying to convert me, which he probably would've succeeded if we actually had a branch in NL

they seem "hip"

Unionhawk

They're capital one in the United States now

GnomeSlice

I don't care if my bank is hip

Frank

@Frank why did you down-vote my question... there is nothing major that is incorrect. Sorry if I accused the incorrect person. — C. Guan 6 mins ago

Chippies

@GnomeSlice hip and good interest rates and low/no fees

and great sign up bonuses

GnomeSlice

1:45 AM

@Frank Except we all know it was you

hue

Chippies

a "hip" company generally "gets it" and is more up with the times

in my experience, at least

GnomeSlice

Beats by Dre are hip

But they're not even remotely worth the money

most of the products, anyway

Chippies

no, beats by Dre are cash cows cashing in on a brand

they don't "get it", they just sell their brand

GnomeSlice

but they're hip

Chippies

they might be hip-hop, but not hip

not the right kind of hip at least

inb4 bodyparts

anyways, gotta get ready for work...

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice It's Blizzcon, as @Chippies/@Unionhawk figured out.

GnomeSlice

@LessPop_MoreFizz I thought most of Blizzard's games were supposed to be pretty good

LessPop_MoreFizz

1:48 AM

To be fair, they are games I once loved, I am just intensely burned out but still have many friends made through my time playing said games.

GnomeSlice

didn't they make starcraft or whatever

Unionhawk

Yes

GnomeSlice

@LessPop_MoreFizz Why does that make them bad now

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice Yes. And Warcraft. And World of Warcraft. And Diablo.

Chippies

Blizz made Rock'n'Roll Racing

LessPop_MoreFizz

1:49 AM

@GnomeSlice Because I am bitter.

GnomeSlice

Oh.

Unionhawk

@LessPop_MoreFizz is just a bitter old man now, or something

Chippies

no one ever mentions Rock n'Roll Racing when talking about Blizz :(

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Chippies Or The Lost Vikings.

I would attend a Lost Vikings Con.

GnomeSlice

That's probably not going to happen.

Unionhawk

1:50 AM

You should set up your own convention

Chippies

@LessPop_MoreFizz not something I got to play much so I usually don't talk about it, but it's certainly mentioned more often than RRR

GnomeSlice

with blackjack

and hookers

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Unionhawk That is basically what I am doing!

Except replace Blackjack with BSG boardgame and hookers with beer beer and more beer.

Unionhawk

Well it's perfect!

I would attend such a convention

GnomeSlice

I am getting shredded by the normal AI in Concrete Jungle vs. mode @AshleyNunn

two bugs

1:53 AM

I would attend an Arqade convention!

GnomeSlice

@LessPop_MoreFizz isn't blizzcon the one with the ball pit

user15026

@GnomeSlice Dashcon had the ball pit.

Unionhawk

No, wasn't that... I forget but that was this year

GnomeSlice

Oh

Unionhawk

Yes

That

user15026

1:54 AM

And it was actually not this year

GnomeSlice

It was last year

user15026

there was supposed to be a Dashcon 2015 in various guises

GnomeSlice

lol

Unionhawk

Oh I see

user15026

but....drama ensued instead because it was the same people who ran the last one

GnomeSlice

1:54 AM

lmao

I've tried a large number of solutions to the problems that 64 bit Windows 7 has with Generals and Zero Hour, to no avail. I've been trawling all over the internet for a fix for my problem.

I pre-ordered the new Tales game. So gonna enjoy that.

@AshleyNunn Are you gonna get it? Let me know if you like it!

user15026

@twobugs I am so going to get it :D

@Frank Zestiria? Eh... I haven't enjoyed a Tales game in years. Hope you enjoy it, though.

@twobugs It has an interesting premise.

2:18 AM

When does it come out, anyway?

It sounded like they made some good changes but I also heard it got a very lukewarm reception

user15026

augh tomorrow is the start of Oktoberfest

user15026

do not waaaant

Unionhawk

Oktoberfest has been going on for weeks and technically it's late for Oktoberfest

StrixVaria

Oktoberfest is the end of September.

Unionhawk

Yes

I mean various cities have been doing Oktoberfest over the last 2 weekends (Oktoberfest Zinzinnati was 2 weeks ago iirc)

Yuuki

2:32 AM

Yay for world's most frustrating mission.

Unionhawk

Basically what we're saying is Toronto is Wrong(tm)

Yuuki

And of course as soon as I say that, I complete it.

Geek Beach is making a non-mobile title

and it looks great

Unionhawk

@Yuuki the game can tell if you complain

GodEmperorDune

@LessPop_MoreFizz you are going to be in orange county?!

we must have a bridge meetup

LessPop_MoreFizz

2:39 AM

@GodEmperorDune yes. I will likely be intoxicated for the entirety of the ~93 hours I am there.

GodEmperorDune

drinking involved makes it more fun:D

LessPop_MoreFizz

Like. If I weren't renting a car to get from LAX to Anaheim because it is literally cheaper than any other means of doing so, I would be getting hammered on the plane and drunk before I hit the ground.

GodEmperorDune

drunken LAX is no bueno

but anyway i will see what i can do to join in the shenanigans

LessPop_MoreFizz

I have been drunk in lax before it was fine

It is a better way to have a layover than sober lax

Yuuki

So I reassigned all my staff to either R&D or Support so I could get the cargo Fulton.

Unionhawk

2:48 AM

Speaking of drunken shenanigans, that reminds me, I need to find a day to go to the Dayton breweries (or at least one)

@Yuuki Not a bad idea, but once you can get people in combat

There are cassettes for the Peace Walker theme and Snake Eater :)
