The Bridge

Chippies

7:00 PM

@Unionhawk I haven't played multiplayer with anyone but my wife for the last forever

user15026

@Chippies Yeah, that doesn't help.

user15026

I miss having someone in my house to game with

Unionhawk

Well there you go

Chippies

@AshleyNunn yep, that sure helps!

I wish my wife enjoyed shooty games too

Unionhawk

Heh

two bugs

7:01 PM

Idea: AirBnB, but for gamers so people can couch-coop

badp

Delay status: 50/60 mins. Battery level 16%

Sigh

Unionhawk

I'd totally play through Borderlands: Whatever with people but time

TIME I SAY

T_T

Jason Berkan

I wonder what happens to your SHIVs if you remove the Foundry. Can you still use ones you have built?

djsmiley2k

Do a speedrun :D

Unionhawk

NO

djsmiley2k

7:01 PM

@JasonBerkan I've not built any

Unionhawk

That's even more time

djsmiley2k

but as I have all armour etc I guess so?

Unionhawk

Like, absurd amounts of time

djsmiley2k

K do a death is the end run

Jason Berkan

@djsmiley2k The Foundry doesn't unlock any armour.

Chippies

7:02 PM

@Unionhawk another issue with borderlands is that you kinda have to only play with the same people, or else someone will outlevel the others or get ahead in story and then it's just a mess

Unionhawk

@Chippies Yes

djsmiley2k

@JasonBerkan urgh, guns?

laser/plasma rifles?

Unionhawk

HamStare @TimStone

YOU'RE LUCKY WE CAUGHT UP >_>

Jason Berkan

Those are all research items. The Foundry gives bonuses. And SHIVs.

Unionhawk

<_<

Sterno

7:02 PM

Apparently the Amazon Fulfillment Center is 17 minutes from my house.

Yay me

djsmiley2k

@JasonBerkan then We'll never know :D

user15026

@Sterno hahaha nice

StrixVaria

@Sterno Oh, that's why you get free same-day shipping?

Lame.

Jason Berkan

I'm ridiculously close to finishing my Classic Ironman XCOM game. Just need one more level up for my snipers.

Sterno

Indeed

djsmiley2k

7:05 PM

gun fight in a petrol station, this could go bad.

badp

@Sterno what difference does that make? Amazon doesn't do shipping themselves

Sterno

Because when the zombie apocalypse comes, tons of various shit is a mere 17 minutes away

badp

Being close to the destination doesn't mean your package won't travel to NY and back

@Sterno none of that is food

also 17' by car is several hours on foot

Once you get there the place will have been robbed clean

Sterno

Why would I go on foot?

Powerlord

@twobugs Same here</late>

Sterno

7:08 PM

It's actually kind of in the middle of nowhere. I'm one of the nearest residential areas.

Besides, I'm just going to eat the other survivors

Powerlord

Sorry, I was writing up an answer to that Talos Principle question.

badp

@Sterno I wouldn't expect optimal travel times from anywhere to anywhere in a zombie apocalypse

Jason Berkan

My zombie survival plan involves becoming leader of the zombies.

badp

If you travel too fast you'll just hit zombies and total your car

Sterno

59 minutes by bicycle

straight down one road

Add an extra 30 minutes since I'll be lugging a shotgun, a pistol, and a bag full of ammo

badp

7:10 PM

@JasonBerkan my plan involves the massive steam backlog I've amassed

two bugs

@Sterno ...but no children?

badp

WILL PLAY TF2 FOR ~~BRAINS~~

Current delay status: 61/60 minutes

Sterno

@twobugs You're right. I'd better get one of those kid tow things for my bike

and teach my kids to reload

two bugs

Solution: your kids pull a cart that you sit on with all the supplies

badp

We are leaving

WE HAVE DOORCLOSE

IT IS HAPPENING

TRAIN MOVES

62' late

Unionhawk

7:13 PM

ITSHAPPENING.GIF

Jason Berkan

@badp I'm sure the zombies will appreciate the irony when I play Left 4 Dead 2.

Wipqozn

My zombie survival plan is to realize that would never actually happen.

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn STARRED FOR TRUF

Sterno

@Wipqozn You're the guy who sits there in stunned disbelief while getting munched.

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn Don't you watch movies? Or play computer games? Or read comic books?

Wipqozn

7:14 PM

@JasonBerkan I do all of those things.

@Sterno If zombies happened, it wouldn't lead to the downfall os soceity.

Jason Berkan

Zombies are the #1 reason the world will end.

Sterno

Also, zombie apocalypse is also a placeholder for any other similar event, like when the Communists invade the U.S. like in Red Dawn

Jason Berkan

According to movies, computer games and comic books.

badp

or WoW2

djsmiley2k

btw which is better, laser or plasma

badp

7:15 PM

World of Warcraft 2 is believed to be more dangerous than Tera Ebola.

Jason Berkan

@djsmiley2k Plasma. The are three levels of weapons: regular, laser, plasma. Each is an upgrade over the previous.

djsmiley2k

@JasonBerkan ty

Jason Berkan

You end up needing plasma for the damage once you encounter the 14+ hit point aliens.

djsmiley2k

wow i got all panic down to 1

only lost nigera, south africa, and argentina.

Oh yeah I';ve ment them :D

met*

badp

"We come in peace so long as you 1v1 me scrub granary middle do you even mlg bro?"

Wipqozn

7:19 PM

@djsmiley2k Which difficulty are you playing on? Do you have Ironman mode enabled?

djsmiley2k

Haha no, and normal I think

What does ironman mode do again?

I'm a newb. :D

Wipqozn

Only one save file, it auto saves frequently, and you can't quit the game without saving.

djsmiley2k

Youch

tho now I've got the correct upgrades etc my guys rock.

So I guess, knowing what to purchase first helps?

Jason Berkan

@djsmiley2k Allows you to say this:

Jun 17 at 18:35, by Jason Berkan

Fuck Classic Ironman.

Wipqozn

I've always viewed ironman mode as the only way to play XCOM

djsmiley2k

7:21 PM

lol

I 'generally' dont reload saves anyway

but I have a few times when I screwed up something

Wipqozn

In fact I can't even imagine playing without ironman. It would lose so much of the fun.

Jason Berkan

Before I played ironman, I only restored squad wipes.

djsmiley2k

But this is my first proper playthough

I only played once before, got so far, didn't know how to futehr the story, and just let everyone leave

Arperum

@Chippies now? Of all times... This sale I caved and threw my money at borderlands 2. I could've saved like €5...

Wipqozn

What should I get for supper?

Chippies

7:25 PM

@Arperum steam refunds!

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn FOOD is shot

Chippies

but you're gonna say "oh well, not a big deal" and that's exactly what they were hoping for!

Arperum

@Chippies Ooooh!

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn Fish.

Wipqozn

I've actually already decided, and I'm just curious if you folks can guess the correct answer.

Chippies

7:26 PM

@Arperum assuming you were buying DLC, though, Idk how the 2 hours playtime would be counted

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn Sushi?

Do I win?

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk Yes.

Chippies

@Wipqozn poutine

sushi isn't even proper food

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan was technically correct as well though, and was correct first.

Jason Berkan

Technically correct is the best correct.

Wipqozn

7:27 PM

@Chippies What's it like being wrong about everything ever in the history of forever?

Unionhawk

I WAS MORE SPECIFIC

>:(

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk Yes. You both get points.

Chippies

@Wipqozn what, am I @Unionhawk now?

Wipqozn

@Chippies I'm not sure

@Unionhawk, do you like Sushi?

Chippies

I once tried sushi, it was okay.

Yuuki

7:29 PM

Hahahaha, I was waiting for this to happen.

Unionhawk

There's not really anywhere to get it around here >_>

Which is rather unfortunately

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk But do you like it? If you've yet to try it, are you open to the idea of it?

Chippies

I liked the awesome noodles that came with it more

Yuuki

So we've been going over process management in class this past week or so.

First assignment is due at the end of the day.

Unionhawk

Yes

Chippies

7:30 PM

sushi has too high cost/awesomeness ratio

or too low

Wipqozn

@Yuuki I thought you were talking about @Chippies being reassigned as the worst.

Chippies

I'm not good with fractions

Wipqozn

Okay, @Chippies is officially worse than @Unionhawk.

2

user15026

My city has SO MANY sushi places

Jason Berkan

I refuse to eat sushi when living in a landlocked province.

Wipqozn

7:30 PM

@JasonBerkan Just move to Nova Scotia.

Chippies

@Wipqozn so it goes like @Wipqozn > @chippies > @Unionhawk

Yuuki

The sysadmin just told my teacher that everyone in our class has to stop using the server until he can put in limits because too many people were making or getting close to making fork bombs on accident.

Wipqozn

@Chippies I'm pretty sure disliking sushi puts you even beneath me.

Unionhawk

@Yuuki I did that once!

Yuuki

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

Wipqozn

7:31 PM

I'll let @AshleyNunn decide.

Unionhawk

It was great!

Chippies

@Wipqozn I think we need a poll for that

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn PEI is where I'd love to live, except for your 10' of snow winter storms.

Yuuki

@Unionhawk I saw this coming from a mile away.

Unionhawk

I'm actually not sure it ended up being a real fork bomb with no ending condition

Wipqozn

7:31 PM

@JasonBerkan Yeah, our winters are really mild.

Chippies

I also never said I dislike sushi

Unionhawk

Since the server did come back

Eventually

Chippies

I just don't like it enough to justify the cost

Wipqozn

Except for this year, the worst storm we get is usually 20' of snow.

Unionhawk

I'm pretty sure I did spawn like, 20 factorial processes though

two bugs

7:32 PM

Oh, @AshleyNunn, I have science'd the recreate universe option in Giraffe Evolution

Wipqozn

and then it usually melts a few days later

two bugs

You keep diamonds, rubies, upgrades, and alien giraffe progress

Sterno

@JasonBerkan Real men play Xenonauts

two bugs

Reset earth progress

Arperum

@Chippies I never owned anything borderlands at all, nor have I played it yet. I bought the game of the year edition though, so that one has more DLC than the one via humble bundle. Gah.

Sterno

7:32 PM

Also, @Wipqozn plays it too

Wipqozn

@Sterno I second this notion.

two bugs

There is a new "ultimate being" to find

Wipqozn

In fact @JasonBerkan should really step up his game.

two bugs

and, get ready

Chippies

@Arperum the 15$ bundle has season pass + more dlc, which is more dlc than goty

two bugs

7:33 PM

You get a whopping +2% (not a typo) to coin generation!!!!!

Chippies

goty is just base + season pass and the 2 characters, afaik

user15026

@twobugs So I would keep my super good crates then

Wipqozn

> 244 hrs on record

Jason Berkan

@Sterno Everything I read from the programmers made me think they didn't know what they were doing.

Unionhawk

@Yuuki It's okay, we had 4 servers, so if one died, there were still 3 more to kill

Wipqozn

7:33 PM

You really should play Xenonauts @JasonBerkan.

two bugs

@AshleyNunn Correct, mine are still intact

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan Such as?

Arperum

@Chippies Ya, but I bought GOTY for €10, I have 12 DLC's, no clue how many of those are included in the season pass.

Sterno

@JasonBerkan I don't remember it being particularly buggy

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn Hand waving about having an awesome AI without any details.

two bugs

7:34 PM

I don't know if you get higher coin bonuses for restarting with more lifetime earnings (as you typically do in these games) but it doesn't tell you

Sterno

I wouldn't say the AI was awesome

Jason Berkan

They were hugely preooccupied with destructable terrain.

Sterno

I don't recall it being awful, either

user15026

@twobugs Oh, then it might be worth it :)

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk Wait what?

Unionhawk

7:35 PM

@TimStone YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID

Jason Berkan

And the fact that they worshipped the original XCOM and I hate the tactical battles in the original XCOM.

Wipqozn

Yeah, it's decent. The main thing it has over XCOM is they don't just stand around waiting for you activate them. They'll wander around the map and what not.

SaintWacko

Xenonauts is fun

two bugs

@AshleyNunn It's nice to start over again, but it just feels weird that things are only slightly faster

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk I'm so confused! I've done so many things, I need context

Wipqozn

7:35 PM

@JasonBerkan Depending on the why, Xenonauts may have fixed your issues.

Sterno

@Wipqozn XCOM pseudo does that

Chippies

@Arperum This lists what's included in each

two bugs

I haven't completed the mars progress yet so I don't know if that unlocks anything

Wipqozn

@Sterno Long War?

user15026

@twobugs yeah, I dunno. I just want to get all teh achievements and I assuem tehre is one for the restart

Sterno

7:35 PM

The downside to Xenonauts is battles take longer, so you get more bored of them by the end

two bugs

You also get a diamond bonus for restarting!

Sterno

@Wipqozn No, even the original

two bugs

@AshleyNunn There's one for restarting within two weeks

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn The only tactic was to meat shield.

Unionhawk

@TimStone (in response to "with borderlands you need to play with the same people or risk passing them in level")

Tim Stone

7:36 PM

Ahhhhhhhh

Wipqozn

@Sterno They were just teleported around iirc, and when you do see them they get a turn to run into cover.

Tim Stone

Yeah I did do that

Sterno

I say "pseudo" because I believe there are patrol points where the groups can appear, and which one they are "active" at moves around

user15026

@twobugs Oh, I am likely way past that

Sterno

But individual units aren't actually m oving

Tim Stone

7:36 PM

NO SHAME

two bugs

@AshleyNunn I think you can still earn it on your second round, it's just complete a round within 2 weeks

But I don't know for sure

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan I don't find that to be true in Xenonauts. You can fire around corners for starters, so that's a huge plus.

Sterno

XCOM gives the illusion of them moving around. For some groups

two bugs

Mobile achievements are addicting though

Arperum

@Chippies Thank you, so all the $15 humble bundle has is two more DLC's that I don't have yet.

user15026

7:38 PM

@twobugs There's a reason I am level 26 on google play

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn But does it have all the skills and the resulting choices that I can make during my turn, like new XCOM?

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan It doesn't have the skill system like new XCOM does.

two bugs

The apple one has achievement points but they seem totally nonstandard and less compelling

Sterno

I liked XCOM a lot better with the Long War mod (other than air combat sucking even more in that mod that in the original game, in terms of fun)

two bugs

And they allow the cardinal sin of allowing achievements that don't end in 0 or 5.

badp

7:40 PM

Today still, on Hell's Commute

Sterno

Particularly with the option of having wounds lower your accuracy

I hope XCOM 2 lets you send more than one plane at a time against a UFO, because dumb

two bugs

Aw, the Japan -> Hawaii solar flight was postponed due to weather

Jason Berkan

I'm an anti-modder.

badp

Right after I fall asleep 100 minutes in my commute the person in front of me wakes me up with a loud long and prolonged discussion

Sterno

A 100 minute commute seems like you're doing it wrong

Unionhawk

7:42 PM

@JasonBerkan HOW CAN YOU BE AGAINST @AshleyNunn

YOU MONSTER

badp

My best case scenario commute is 110 minutes

Q: Are weapons with more damage purely better than ones with less damage?

In fallout shelter are weapons with higher damage better than weapons with lower damage? E.g. is the common Rusty Laser Pistol (Dam 7) better than the legendary Lone Wanderer (Dam 2-7)? E.g. Is the rare Hardened BB Gun (Dam 0-4) worse than the common Rusty Sawed-Off Shotgun (Dam 6)?

fallout-shelter

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn Then I'm really not certain I would like it more.

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan That's fair

djsmiley2k

I do love a crit of 17

badp

7:43 PM

Actually yeah I messed up the maths

Wipqozn

I prefer Xenonauts, but I can definitely see why someone would prefer new XCOM

badp

I left work at 19:30

It's 21:40 now

Wipqozn

@badp Jesus. ALmost 2hours.

badp

so that's 130 mins with 30 more left

Wipqozn

My commute to work is 10 minutes. Max.

user15026

7:44 PM

O.o

Jason Berkan

@badp Problem #2. Leaving work that late.

Wipqozn

If I had a 2 hour commute to work I'd probably go crazy, rip out someones heart, and feast on it.

user15026

Mine is 30 min but a lot of that is just reading a book at the terminal

badp

@JasonBerkan I've seldom had a smooth train ride home leaving earlier than that these weeks

today I'm having a rough deal even after working 8:50—19:30

Oh well

Sterno

@badp Maybe Lifehacks will be able to help you solve your commute problem

Yuuki

7:46 PM

in MCU Discussion, 1 min ago, by Yuuki

Tom Holland to play Spider-Man.

Wipqozn

@Sterno It probably will. Lifehacks is the best site on the network.

two bugs

Lifehack: if you are homeless your commute is instant!

Wipqozn

@Yuuki I saw that earlier @Yuuki. STOP SHARING THINGS I ALREADY KNOW ABOUT

Unionhawk

"The transit authority around here sucks. How can I get home efficiently?"

"Live at the office \o/"

Jason Berkan

A: Move your home.

Wipqozn

7:46 PM

wait, doesn't @badp live in Europe:?

Yuuki

@Wipqozn SOMETHING SOMETHING YOUR FACE IS UGLY.

badp

(I dunno if I should point out we all get one hour off a day for lunch and the other contractors downstairs work 15 hours or so)

Sterno

B: Buy a car

GodEmperorDune

@Unionhawk first you need some baking sheets and duct tape...

Wipqozn

I thought travelling 2 hours in any direction in Europe took you to a new country.

two bugs

7:47 PM

@Unionhawk With a laptop power cord, a bagel, and a packet of hot sauce you can...

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn No, he moved to Canada like 2 months ago. Didn't you hear?

Wipqozn

@badp 15 hours? What the fuck

Also one hour a day i standard.

I get one hour off.

badp

@Wipqozn Accenture

Working 9-22 is the norm apparently

user15026

@badp O.o

Unionhawk

@badp :|

Wipqozn

7:48 PM

That's a pretty shitty norm

badp

Wait that isn't 15 hours

GodEmperorDune

Yeah those firms suck

badp

Whatever

two bugs

@badp Does that include like... a work nap in the middle? And by nap I mean 4 hour sleep break?

Wipqozn

@badp Do you work 5 days a week, or is it a 4 day work week?

Arperum

7:48 PM

@badp That's completely insane.

Sterno

You might as well just get a job at EA

badp

5 days a week

Unionhawk

31 secs ago, by Unionhawk

@badp :|

two bugs

@badp Are you SURE you don't live in America?

Sterno

I guess what we all really want to know is what the hell are you doing with your life?

badp

7:49 PM

Thing is I worked these many hours at Google where it was entirely my own choice

Unionhawk

I hope for your sake that you're making a literal bank full of money working... calculates

badp

It still mostly is entirely my choice

Actually the much shorter commute there meant I'd feel free to work until even later

Unionhawk

Holy shit that's almost MAX_HOURS in the U.S. (I think? That may be a minor labor law or something)

badp

Whereas here at 19:30 I have to go lol nope fuck this

Jason Berkan

There are ways around almost every labour law.

badp

7:51 PM

I'm not earning $$$$ but I'm saving lots

two bugs

I mean, if you're enjoying it that's one thing

badp

I'd have to give up a lot of cash for relatively minor improvements in life

two bugs

but that just sounds crazy to me

badp

I could go by car but then I can't sleep through my commute

I could live in Milan but then I'd have to run all of the errands myself

and I'd still need up to one hour each way

Sterno

I guess Miles Morales is the new main-continuity Spider-Man now, too, and Peter Parker is out on the curb?

WTF Marvel

badp

7:53 PM

it's not really clear it's worth the additional €300/mo

I'll go for more sleep for now

Sterno

Though to be fair, your Spider-Man comic has sucked for years.

Never let JMS touch a comic

badp

Almost arrived; 2% battery

two bugs

@Sterno Eh, I think that was more Joe Quesada than JMS

If you're talking about the Mephisto thing

badp

Hell if I went by car I'd have to wake up even earlier because crazy traffic

Sterno

Was it Mephisto, or Loki?

I don't remember anymore

two bugs

7:54 PM

Although JMS wrote that dumb Superman story too he didn't finish

Sterno

but the totem stuff was dumb too

two bugs

JMS did that Silver Surfer sendoff which was pretty alright

@Sterno The one I'm thinking of is where Spiderman made a deal with Mephisto to keep Aunt May alive at the cost of his marriage to MJ

Sterno

Yeah, that one.

You're right. I was thinking it was Loki for some reason

two bugs

Because Joe Quesada thought having him grow up even slightly alienated him from the audience

Sterno

That was some dumb shit

two bugs

7:55 PM

Aunt May is like 50000000 years old anyway, just let her die

Sterno

And that was after they'd already killed MJ off so he could be single again, but then brought her back

Okay. Spider-Man sucks.

:(

two bugs

I think it's more editors suck

Poor editing leads to these kind of problems

There's the extreme where editors dictate storylines for purely personal reasons and the extreme where they're too hands off and things feel disjoint and nonsensical

And they both suck
