The Bridge

4:00 PM

I loved my Greek history prof when discussing hoplites. "Some student always ends up asking me, what did they do with the left-handed soldiers. Let me make this clear. There were no left-handed Greeks."

Yuuki

If you were left-handed, you shut up and learned how to do things right-handed.

There's no room for individualism in a phalanx.

Jason Berkan

And hoped you weren't born in Sparta.

MBraedley

Fuck, why didn't I check-in that little tester app?

Private Pansy

@Yuuki Surprisingly little has changed since then. We don't have left-handed rifles

user15026

So left-handed me isn't good for fighting?

user15026

4:09 PM

it's good I am a pacifist Mennonite, then.

Jason Berkan

As far as the Ancient Greeks are concerned, your gender would have disqualified you, unfortunately.

user15026

Ah, yeah, that's true.

Private Pansy

You just have to suck it up and use your right hand as your trigger finger. Trying to use the rifle with your left-hand results in the bullet cartridge and hot waste gas being directly expelled into your face when you fire the rifle. Not a pleasant experience, or so I'm told

two bugs

@AshleyNunn I do non-serious fencing, but from my understanding it's an advantage for fencers

Well, not exactly an advantage but it works in your favor. It's hard to deal with someone who uses the opposite hand, but if you're a lefty you get a lot of practice

user15026

I tend to do a lot of things right-handed, anyhow.

Yuuki

4:12 PM

IIRC, the Spartans were surprisingly egalitarian (at least for the ancient world) when it came to women. Since the men composed the army, the women managed the household and had a lot more rights than their contemporaries in other parts of the world.

Which, given that this is the Ancient Greeks, isn't saying much, I know.

Arperum

@twobugs Plus, the other person isn't used to it.

Yuuki

In fact, a Spartan woman who died in childbirth was given the same burial rites and honors as a man who died in combat.

user15026

I am good at managing a household. If someone paid me to do that (and did dishes? I hate dishes) and/or paid me to find them information places, it would be excellent.

two bugs

@Arperum Yeah, although by the time you reach higher skill levels it's pretty even

Still, I think something like half the best fencers are left handed

Yuuki

Yeah, but fencing is single combat.

two bugs

4:16 PM

True. I've heard being a lefty can be helpful for certain styles of boxing as well, but I know basically nothing about that

In group combat though I can see why it would be an issue

Q: Did DICE ever fix the Battlefield 4 texture flickering?

Since Oct 2013 I have owned an AMD CPU and GPU desktop and now an Intel and Nvidia desktop and I have played on Mantle and DirectX and certain objects in the distance have always had bad flickering that ruins the great looks this game has. Whenever I google the issue I just see random forum posts...

Q: Rare Replay, does it fix the framerate on old N64 games?

I believe I read that the game are being ported with little upgrades, except for some games being able to rewind them. That is all good, but will some games like Jet Force Gemini or Perfect Dark run at a smooth 30fps or 60fps?

I wonder which version of Conker they have in there... N64, Xbox, or both?

two bugs

I'd guess both

The banner makes it look like the N64 version

I'm still amused the xbox one is more censored.

According to some of the devs I think the xbox version is held together by shoestring and gum

Q: What affects the rush incident rate?

In Fallout Shelter you're able to rush the product of a resource. According to the game, it is influenced by the luck of the people assigned to the room and whether or not you have recently rushed the room. What exactly affects this?

fallout-shelter

two bugs

Damn Fallout Shelter is making me leave it open so I can generate a resource surplus before I close the app

user15026

@twobugs Does it not collect resources while closed?

Wipqozn

@Sterno But if I don't hate, then what emotions are left?

two bugs

4:55 PM

@AshleyNunn Resources are consumed for "a short while" after you close the app, and it doesn't seem to auto-collect

I'm just paranoid because I got into a negative feedback look with the resources and things were very hairy for a bit yesterday

Power went low -> rooms shutting down -> run low on other resources

Wipqozn

@Powerlord As rad as this is, part of me finds it sad. Rare just can't just match up to their ol' glory days, so mine as well not evne try.

user15026

Something tells me I would be terrible at keeping the vault dwellers alive.

Chippies

@PrivatePansy there are left handed rifles. I think I once saw some video talking about a rifle that could go either way, but Idk if that was a common thing or not

Powerlord

@Wipqozn It's really just a re-release of their old games.

Jason Berkan

I can't seem to keep Fallout Shelter running long enough to get things into a non-resource depleted space.

two bugs

4:57 PM

@AshleyNunn It doesn't seem that hard, just time consuming. Right now I'm at the point between starting and getting the room which lets you recruit people quickly

so my only option for increasing population is to make the babies

Yuuki

Turns the iPad is one of the older ones, so it can't update to iOS 7.0.

And thus, I can't play Fallout Shelter until the Android version comes out.

two bugs

but pregnancy takes 3 hours, and kids take 3 hours to grow up

3

That, thankfully, can happen when the app is closed

Sterno

@Wipqozn Is confusion an emotion? I go with that one a lot.

two bugs

It's annoying though because this seems to be just a really slow and meh part of the shelter lifecycle

I only have basic buildings, can't improve any SPECIAL scores

so my dwellers are all 1/2s

I can imagine they are barely sentient plant monsters

Sterno

Pretty sure you can accomplish pregnancy in about 4 seconds if you do it right.

StrixVaria

5:00 PM

@Sterno I believe he was talking about gestation.

two bugs

@StrixVaria Yeah, I was

Q: So what exactly am I supposed to do as a Medium in Town of Salem?

As a medium, you are able to talk to the dead in the night and you can whisper to the living when you are dead. But what exactly are you supposed to ask them? Nobody knows by whom they got killed. What is the purpose of this role?

Yuuki

@James What trend, where everything's overshadowed by Fallout 4?

James

5:01 PM

More and More companies pushing for 'released right now!'

Not

two bugs

I just can't really afford to send many adventurers out right now because I need to keep everything running

James

Hey guys, maybe in 2 years if you clap loud enough you might see this game

two bugs

I might be missing something obvious, though

MadMAxJr

Was there really a fair degree of quiet/silence when Microsoft threw Madden up on the screen or is that the internet trying to make me laugh?

James

You guys playing Vault Shelter?

I downloaded it

two bugs

5:02 PM

I am

James

and picked a number.. and let it load....

Buttttt... I am at work

two bugs

Don't worry, it's not super interactive

MadMAxJr

I'm waiting for the time-exclusive period on appstore to end so I can get Shelter on android...

Sterno

@James That's as far as I got. Then it loaded too long, and I got bored, and quit.

two bugs

I was thinking about it at lunch today, how much interactivity you should have in a game like this

Private Pansy

5:03 PM

Is Nintendo's presentation starting?

two bugs

That Giraffe Evolution game has a ton of interactivity, but that can almost be a con because it feels like you're missing too much if you don't have it open

StrixVaria

New Steam rotation is still all games I don't care about at all.

This sale has been the best yet for my wallet.

two bugs

Praise be to Gabe N. He giveth deals, and then also giveth deals I don't care about

James

@Sterno I then turned it off when it started the tutorial.

Yuuki

@StrixVaria Yay, more money towards the Fallout 4 Collector's Edition!

James

5:04 PM

And

I would really like the FO4 CE.. but I .. dont really want a pipboy :/

Private Pansy

Uh...

Yuuki

@James I'm gonna wait on it until I know how it fits other phones.

Tim Stone

That's an excellent deal

two bugs

@PrivatePansy Quick, buy infinite copies

user15026

@twobugs As long as you have your tractor set up, you don't miss too much

user15026

5:05 PM

@PrivatePansy They can't even give it away, hm?

StrixVaria

@PrivatePansy Quick, buy a whole bunch of copies, then buy games for everyone on the Bridge with your influx of money!

two bugs

@AshleyNunn True, but with the giraffes every 5 seconds... and opening the boxes can give gems... and you can give the boxes a chance to have big giraffes... and the alien deals

I mean, you're not like a complete fool for closing the app but leaving it open is more productive

That was kind of my problem with Cookie Clicker... it basically required botting if you wanted to make progress after a point

I don't know how much I can really complain about free 0-player games requiring a minimum of player interaction, though :P

Private Pansy

user15026

@twobugs True, true.

Huh, Distance is not even out of Early Access and already on 50% off

James

@PrivatePansy Mine is -12.01.. I would like 4,000,000 copies please.

Private Pansy

Hmmm, the load bar for the Steam monster game seems to be longer now

Weird... it suddenly gave me 4 trading cards?

two bugs

You are the chosen one

Private Pansy

Yup, definitely gave me four, instead of the usual 1

two bugs

I got two yesterday, I think it has some other factors involved

Private Pansy

5:12 PM

No, as in, I load up the game, and suddenly the green envelope icon has a 4 beside it

Powerlord

@StrixVaria I've spent some already. Mostly on cheaper games, but The Evil Within and its Season Pass snuck into my cart.

Private Pansy

And I counted - there's indeed four additional cards

Powerlord

@PrivatePansy I heard they finally fixed the bug where it wasn't giving as many cards as it should have.

Private Pansy

@Powerlord That could be it. I was only getting one or two cards these past few days

Powerlord

I know I didn't get any Monster game cards the second day, and its only been giving me 2 on other days.

Private Pansy

5:13 PM

Since I have 11, I guess it would be nice to trade a few to craft a badge

MadMAxJr

Oh, I need to fire up the game again on my moble, thanks for the reminder.

Private Pansy

The monster game now gives me flavor text in random languages

The last time I loaded it up it gave me Chinese, now it's in Spanish

StrixVaria

@Powerlord I only bought 1 thing so far, which is a huge step in the right direction from 15+ in previous sales.

Rapitor

does Miyamoto know english and just not understand it well? with all the appearances he makes and stuff for years i'd think he'd be better at more languages

user15026

@StrixVaria I've bought two and been gifted two.

Powerlord

5:16 PM

@StrixVaria One could argue you have an addiction if you're buying that many.

user15026

I am trying to keep it low, because yeah, I have a job now, but that also means less gaming time :P

Jason Berkan

I'm still at zero. I think I've already purchased all the cheap games I want on Steam.

Private Pansy

At least I think this is Spanish

StrixVaria

@Powerlord Well clearly I'm recovering then.

I should at some point actually go back through and try some of the games I've bought and never touched.

Arperum

WHat the hell steam? I never got foil badges, and now I have 2.

two bugs

5:19 PM

@StrixVaria I tried to do this a few years ago, it was kinda interesting

Private Pansy

@StrixVaria But games get better the longer they're left unplayed on their shelves! Steam specifically adds some wonderfully complex flavors to the games left there to collect dust, I'm told

Sterno

@JasonBerkan I bet a can find a few for you.

You seem like you'd really enjoy Dino D-Day

Private Pansy

@Sterno Wasn't that game that launched incredibly poorly?

So badly that they had to rename it

Jason Berkan

@Sterno I think I would. But $0.54 is outside my price range.

Sterno

MadMAxJr

Tactics did have amusing, bug-filled multiplayer

You could build teams with robots, dogs, supermutants, ghouls, and humans.

We found out dogs could use drugs.

Fear is a stealthed dog decloaking and putting 16AP of attacks into you with 14 strength before overdosing on drugs and falling over dead.

Also dogs could set and disarm traps

FEAR is a L1 Ratata downing a L100 Arceus in two rounds.
