1:00 PM
Sonic Team could be working on the NA version for no apparent reason, that would be worse
 
Capcom may be questionable at times, but they have treated Monster Hunter right
 
Monster Hunter literally prints money
 
indeed
 
It's also a system-seller, which is very valuable.
 
@twobugs Eh, the justification for only releasing the Ultimate version outside of Japan is a very good one.
 
1:02 PM
@Yuuki Yeah, I think it's a good one. I'm just responding to the "we might not get XU earlier" fear
 
I don't think that's a particularly realistic fear right now, given how well MH3U and MH4U sold.
 
Monster Hunter hasn't really taken off yet outside Japan, but to Capcom's credit they've made it clear they're dedicated to building the fanbase
Well, they take their sweet time with the U localizations
 
I think it's taken off
 
@Yuuki YOU'RE NOT A REALISTIC FEAR
 
The MH4U 3DS was definitely not easy to get
 
1:04 PM
@Rapitor That was a limited print carried by only a few retailers. I'm talking about sales numbers for the games themselves
From my understanding 4U did well overseas, but not really the same as Japan

Q: When should I use 4- and 6-lane two-way roads?

AndreKRI am having no luck with two-way roads. They seem to clog really easy, even with moderate traffic. This shows a ring of 6-lane two-ways around an industrial zone, the traffic is already queueing up: When I convert all the 6-lane roads into one-way roads, traffic seems to flow much better. How...

 
There's been an upward trend in MH sales, which is great.
 
It just feels like with Capcom there's the always present fear of dickery for no apparent reason.
Like with DMC
 
@Rapitor Here's the download link for those who can't wait for Windows Update to download microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
 
1:09 PM
@twobugs As long as they don't pull a Kapcom and fire the whole Monster Hunter team, they should be fine.
Seriously - Fuck Kapcom
 
These past two games have been called "Touhou" something or other, which I thought was a bullet hell shooter series, but neither of them are bullet hell shooters.
I am confused.
 
Touhou has fighting games too
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, that's weird.
 
@Rapitor One was like a platformer, and this one is like a top-down brawler (kind of like fast-paced Gauntlet or something I guess?)
 
a majority in the series are bullet hells, but its quickly becoming the Mario method of "fuck it I'm this game now".
there's only so much you can do with bullet hells.. and theres been like.. 15?
 
1:17 PM
To people who worry about saying "you too" to waitresses.
@StrixVaria I don't either of those are official, right?
 
worry intensifies
 
@Yuuki I know very little about the series.
 
@Yuuki She's even eating his leftovers ...
 
@Yuuki Is that really a thing? The people worrying about that specific thing, I mean.
 
All I know about Touhou it is has a huge fanbase, some of which are weird.
 
1:19 PM
@twobugs Incidentally, this is also all I know about The Bridge.
 
> some most
 
(what's that? the bridge isn't huge? shhhh)
 
@Unionhawk We may or may not be huge, but I don't think we have a huge fanbase.

Q: How do I make the x potion in my cauldron?

lulloffbrodojoHow do I brew the x potion? I can not figure out the right recipe.

 
@Unionhawk Well, the difference being I don't think (or at least I pray) there isn't as much Bridge porn.
 
1:21 PM
~this maze of halls, with bloody walls, and endless scrawls reminding me "it's me"~
 
There's bridge fanfics
 
Kitty Powers' Matchmaker is a real game store.steampowered.com/app/285740
 
@PrivatePansy I saw that on Steam. It actually looks like a cool little novelty game.
 
I think it has same sex relationships in it, so good on them.
 
1:24 PM
@twobugs It does. I... uh... had to do a double take when I saw Steam backgrounds of it floating around
 
Oh man, there are Steam backgrounds for it?
I guess that only makes sense...
 
@twobugs It's and android/IOS port

Q: PS Plus Question

BeerLiI was initially using my cousin's PS Plus account on my Ps4. Now, I'm thinking of getting my own. My question is, will I be able to play the free games I downloaded via his account with my new PS Plus account when his eventually expires?

 
@PrivatePansy ... What?
 
1:34 PM
12 mins ago, by Private Pansy
Kitty Powers' Matchmaker is a real game http://store.steampowered.com/app/285740/
 
So, I played Quiplash for the first time last night.
Interesting game.
 
@Powerlord The game for the jack box thingy?
 
@5pike It's the only game they sell not sold in the Jackbox Pack.
 
@PrivatePansy ...Okay, I need to buy this background
 
1:42 PM
@twobugs Good luck on that. They're expensive steamcommunity.com/market/…

Q: Is there a way to change AI level in Play mode in Heroes of the Storm?

joedragonsI know you can change the level of the AI in custom games, but when you fill your game with AI in Play mode can you change the level of the AI? What I read and looked through made it look static but a lot of the documentation seemed to be somewhat dated (old beta forum posts) and I thought maybe ...

 
2:00 PM
@StrixVaria have I ever shown you Kartmaze
 
@GnomeSlice Maybe, but I don't remember the name.
So show me again.
 
@StrixVaria its music. Can you listen at work?
 
Yeah.
And now that you mention it's music and not a game, I'm more thinking that you have shown me before.
 
Prog metal stuff
Ish
He's so good omg
 
Yes, I've listened to this. The Storm is really good but the rest was kind of meh.
 
2:02 PM
@PrivatePansy Bah. I hate how the vast majority of steam emotes/backgrounds are super boring, and the few that aren't are sought after commodities
 
Oh okay
 
Like the :weed: emote
 
My favourite was The Reef but I think it's The Light now
 
@twobugs I personally liked my Transistor background, and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg
Was about $.30 I think
 
My frozen synapse background is great
!gnomeslice
Er my bad
 
2:05 PM
display: none !gnomeslice !important
 
Does that cancel each other?
 
@PrivatePansy I only have a few that I crafted myself. Sequence (now Before the Echo) has some decent ones.
 
@twobugs #gnomeslice { display: none !important }
 
I bought the FF13-2 moogle emote, to troll my friend
@PrivatePansy Much better joke than I was going for.
 
Also syntaxually correct!
Which is important. All your programming jokes must be syntaxually correct
 
2:07 PM
I don't get it
 
> “We will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to.”
 
@GnomeSlice It's an HTML joke
 
WTF Windows 10
 
Well, a CSS joke more accurately
 
In CSS, to hide something, you set its display property to none
 
2:07 PM
Yeah I blocked my HTML knowledge out of my brain a long time ago
 
And !important means it'll override less specific directions
 
Right I just didn't know about none
 
@twobugs I always read this as "not important". CSS is dumb.

Q: Why am I a penguin when I should be a microwave?

AlexAs you can see, I am a penguin (see area marked '1' for clarification): However, I am expecting to be a Microwave, since this is Goat Simulator. Areas 2 & 3 clearly show the expected Microwave profile icon and related Pizza and Explode powers. I don't know how or why this happened but I think...

 
2:09 PM
@StrixVaria Yep. CSS is weird.
 
@Lazers2.0 Go go network hot question list!
 
"I REGISTERED AN ACCOUNT ON THIS SITE TO SAY "LOL WUT""
 
@Sterno all of that seems to be opt-out
 
@Sterno Except the last one, I'm quite sure Google has been doing that with Chrome and Android for far longer already
 
2:13 PM
@StrixVaria !unimportant
 
The last one might be in Google's Terms of Service too
 
@Sterno Working for Google and knowing what Google does with this kind of data actually makes me less suspicious of Microsoft also trying to get in on that.
 
@PrivatePansy everyone that can does it
 
@Yuuki That would work in certain older IE versions.
 
@Arperum Wait, seriously?
 
2:15 PM
I guess I've just accepted that when using the web, companies will see everything I do.
I'm not sure I'm prepared for the OS to look at all the files on my hard drive though.
 
!isn'tnotunimportant
 
@PrivatePansy If my memory isn't failing me they didn't care what you placed after the "!", or I'm confusing it with some other bug.
 
@Sterno Anti-virus programs? :P
 
So in certain old IE versions, assuming this is a real thing and not @Arperum making stuff up, "!important" == "!unimportant"?
 
@JasonBerkan I would hope my AV software isn't "preserving the data" on their own servers and using it for advertising
If so, I'd rather have a virus
 
2:19 PM
@Unionhawk Yup. (Assuming I remember correctly)
 
@Sterno What if the virus preserved data on an external server to be sold to the highest bidder? What then?
 
@Sterno don't they need that info for virus databases?
 
Generally they'll upload a hash of the file, and maybe some metadata related to it, to their servers
I know MSE has the option, can't remember if it's opt in or opt out
 
I was really looking forward to Windows 10
Counting down the days
Then something changed
Redigit released the Linux client for Terraria :D
 
@Unionhawk Then at least I'm not inviting them to do it. They're being forthright about their jerkitude
 
2:22 PM
@PrivatePansy meta.se collects data about every file on your computer: confirmed
 
@Unionhawk This kills the Bridge
 
chatsey steals all your data. That's why @fredley is on vacation right now. He's spending his billions in ad revenue on an island
 
@Sterno I KNEW IT
 
IS summer over yet?
 
@MadMAxJr Yes
 
2:28 PM
@MadMAxJr it never even started yet in Newfoundland
 
In the southern hemisphere
In the northern hemisphere, summer will continue until morale improves
 
In Singapore, if you want to escape summer you have to find a plane and fly a couple thousand kilometers away
 
My new plan is to use Windows 10, find a business competitor also using it, become Facebook friends with him, and then go get on his company's wireless network and steal all their secrets.
I WILL BE RICH BY WINTER
Oh shit, he can do it to me too
 
I guess the only thing that really worries me about Windows 10 datamining stuff is some nightmare situation where my parents are over and Cortana says GREETINGS HUMAN, WOULD YOU LIKE YOU VIEW DISGUSTING AND DEPRAVED INTERNET PORN AS YOU REGULARLY DO
 
I would like public schools to go back in session and for a large quantity of minors to be too busy to spend time on the internet. I am old and grumpy.
 
2:32 PM
I still can't believe Cortana is real-world canon now
@Sterno Wait isn't @fredley already on an island? Do you mean he's spending billions in London?
 
Technically, we're all on an island.
It's called Earth.
 
AN ISLAND IN THE VAST SEA OF SPACE
 
And perhaps our universe is an island in the vast multiverse sea
 
Maybe one day alien life will find us and issue us a ticket for littering with our deep space satellites.
 
2deep4me
 
2:35 PM
@MadMAxJr We actually do need to consider all the Earth orbiting satellites we have right now so they don't collide with one another
 
@Sterno what if you disable the wifi sense but they have it enabled
 
Both users need it enabled iirc
And Facebook allowing access is an opt-in
Which really means they just don't magically have your facebook account
 
(inserts somewhat labored reference)
 
That or alien life finds us and asks to borrow our DVD box sets of the last few seasons of Seinfield because they haven't gotten the signal for those yet in their corner of the galaxy.

2:39 PM
The first step of figuring out this reference is probably the hardest part.
 
@MadMAxJr Or they demand we re-enact the lost Doctor Who episodes
 
> 1. Recognize this is the island from The Incredibles.
> 2. Find out that the name of the island is Nomanisan Island.

@Rapitor Wow, Bethesda trying to finish a game before implementing mod support? That's new.
 
I still expect Fallout 4 to be a fantastic buggy mess
 
@Rapitor Eh, not really surprised. Still, I hope the mod tools are done sooner rather than later
 
2:41 PM
it wouldn't be a bethesda game wihtout it
 
Not sure if it's relevant to anybody in here, but some relatively cheap online courses for game development in unity and html 5. shop.technabob.com/sales/…
 
@Rapitor If it shipped with no bugs, I might actually give it a lower score.
 
I got in for about ~$6.
 
Hey, all of you Wheel of Time people, they're speedrunning the game of it right now
@Frank @AshleyNunn @other people?
 
@SaintWacko there's a game?
 
2:44 PM
@Chippies I guess so
 
the shazbot is wheel of time? (i am watching stream)
 
What's shazbot?
 
Oh, it's from Tribes
I still don't understand your comment, though
What does shazbot has to do with the stream?
 
2:46 PM
@SaintWacko "wtf is wheel of time" is what he's asking
 
Ohhhhhhhh
 
its a censor, basically.
and its fun to say
 
at least that's how I interpret it from all the info I gathered in last minute
wheel of time is a book series
 
It's a book series that some people in the Bridge are super into
 
my wife read all of them, the game doesn't seem like anything she'd enjoy though
 
2:47 PM
I was parsing it as referring to "The shazbot" as a thing and asking if it was Wheel of Time
Which is why it was making no sense
 
@SaintWacko @Me
 
@KevinvanderVelden @you
 
This game!
 
Filled out my first expense report. I'm a grown up now.
 
I still have that somewhere, I think I got stuck roughly where they're at now
 
2:50 PM
@SaintWacko @yuu
 
@Yuuki @mee
 
Oh god, three-letter pings.
What have we done, @Uni?
 
@SaintWacko I should reread most of it because I forgot most of what happened exactly and kinda want to read the last book (or two, don't know how much I've not read yet)
 
I blame @fre
For everything
 
@Unionhawk I blame @yuu
 
2:51 PM
> I forgot most of what happened.
"Most of what happened" was descriptions of clothing.
 
@Arperum I've never actually read it, I just know lot of people here do
 
And @FEi
 
Augh, that series dragged on and on and on and on.
 
@Yuuki IIRC sometimes there were descriptions of landscapes too?
 
Landscapes wearing clothing? What?
 
2:52 PM
Mountains: Now with hats!
 
@Arperum It's basically one of the biggest popular examples of overuse of purple prose that I've ever read.
 
Wheel of Time made me think that I didn't like reading anymore.
 
My friend won't let me start reading Wheel of Time because he now hates it, but feels obligated to finish.
 
My librarian suggested that series to me as a kid because I tended to check out fantasy books for a phase. I hated it so much.
 
My ex loves WoT, as in: I think she has reread all of it at least three times.
 
2:53 PM
@MadMAxJr Mountain as 10th TF2 class confirmed
 
There are a couple really neat things in WoT. Padded with thousands of pages of uselessness.
 
I think I read the first WoT book as a kid. I barely remember it.
 
@Unionhawk Great, a second Demoknight class.
@Arperum Wow, that's... dedication.
 
@Arperum I may have done the same =p
 
Or insanity
 
2:56 PM
So Exploding Kittens got way more backers than I guess they originally expected and will now be shipping…exactly on time. This may be the end days, this isn't how KickStarter campaigns are supposed to work.
Where is the year-long delay? The lack of communication?
 
@KevinvanderVelden BRIDGE FANFIC DATA UPDATED
 
@Yuuki I think she might be the only person who might outread @AshleyNunn. The amount of books she reads is insane.
 
can anyone explain to me why this game is $99.99? :O
 
@Chippies Aside from moneyhungry crazy dev I get nowhere.
 
@Chippies Cashgrab?
Apparently, the English translation is terribad.
 
2:58 PM
it seems that it was 9.99 until 2 weeks ago
then it went to 99.99
I'd say it's a mistake, but 2 weeks?
 
@Chippies Delusion or a mistake
 
@Chippies Because the author is getting charged a ridiculous amount of money for wire transfers from steam, so they raised the price way up to try to get people to buy it from their website instead of Steam
They were getting charged 23.50 for each wire transfer from steam, so they were losing money when the game was only 9.99
 
@SaintWacko Why were they getting charged so much? Foreign dev?
 
A $90-odd jump in price is a bit different from a $30-ish increase to cover a fee.
 
3:04 PM
@Yuuki The point wasn't to increase the price to cover the fee, it was to push people to buy it from their website instead of steam, so they don't get charged the fee at all
 
$40 is still within the ballpark of a sensible price for a game (though usually not for a VN). $100 is overpriced even for AAA games.
@SaintWacko You'd lose more customers that way though.
 
@Yuuki unless you're Destiny.
 
Most potential buyers wouldn't bother going to the website to see the lower price.
 
@Yuuki They're also not giving a ton of money to the people who are charging the ridiculous fee
 
They'd just go "oh, $100? f--k that noise" and go next in their discovery queue.
 
3:05 PM
@Aequitas Basically yes. Your odds are slim in each giveaway, so you'll probably have to enter a lot to win anything. You're encouraged to give games too, but it's not required.
 
Seems like it would have been easier to just figure out why they were being charged such an absurd amount to begin with :P
 
because wire transfer.
D:
 
@Yuuki I do agree they should change the description to point to their website, if Steam will let them do that
@TimStone They're working on that, but in the meantime, I can certainly understand why they wouldn't want to keep losing money while they figure it out

Q: How many Krakens do you earn in black market brawlers?

GreatwonFor the new game mode Black Market Brawlers it says "You earn Krakens passively, as well as through kills, assists, taking objectives, and counter jungling". How many Krakens do you earn for : A Kill: A Assist: Killing a Tower: Killing a Inhibitor: Killing Dragon: Killing Baron: Killing A Sin...

 
@SaintWacko Well, sure. It just seems like a very odd thing to have happen without you knowing about it in advance. Not in a "omg that's sketchy' sort of way, but more of a "probs shoulda done your homework" sort of way.
 
3:08 PM
@TimStone Yeah
Someone ping me
 
@SaintWacko no
@SaintWacko still not pinging you
Noone else ping @SaintWacko, right @Unionhawk
 
@KevinvanderVelden No thanks for not pinging me
 
@KevinvanderVelden Right
 
My sister watches my kids during the day, and she just texted me "Your computer is making noises"
Took me a second to realize she was hearing people pinging me
 
3:12 PM
@SaintWacko How hard would it be to coordinate it to turn the pinging into some sort of a song.
 
Well there's only one tone unfortunately, but still
 
Impossible
 
I hear a volunteer
 
The rate limiter is your first problem
The one tone is your second problem
 
Oops
It's multiple images
Really?
 
3:14 PM
@Unionhawk You'd need a lot of people to coordinate.
 
@Arperum Your third problem is coordinating chat messages would be impossible to precisely time because everyone knows it takes a message some random time to go through
On both ends
 
@Unionhawk Don't go all technical on me.
 
It's scriptable
First let it measure ping via ping-ponging back between 3 or so people
That way you can calculate the time from each person to each other person and should be able to estimate the time till the server gets it
 
Be careful Kevin, this is getting dangerously close to lifehack territory
All you need is a chance for death or dismemberment
 
3:17 PM
@twobugs Well, consider that if you do this to someone, there's a chance that they will hack your life
Will that do it?
 
@SaintWacko well @Uni already volunteered
 
I'm okay with that, but I think the lifehacks.se standards are stricter. They require the process itself be life threatening, not just the end result
 
I already went through the technical and practical limitations of this stupid idea
 
Cool, I think I have to do spur of the moment debugging a several years old and unsupported flash application that I've never seen before
 
Reckon they going to hit 1mil?
 
3:22 PM
isn't there a small window when pings don't make noise after it has made noise?
like, if two people ping you at almost same time, doesn't it only make one ping noise?
 
@Chippies Don't think so.
You get one ping noise per ping, in my experience.
 
Let's try it! Let's not try it
 
I volunteer for science!
 
@Chippies
bah
nevermind
 
it would be difficult to coordinate with someone to ping at around same time
well, more difficult than not coordinating it
 
3:25 PM
No
We are not trying this anymore
This is too stupid
 
@Unionhawk
 
I am at work and have ping sounds off
You fool
 
@Chippies lolno
 
Thank goodness we got rid of that pesky radp fellow. Trouble maker.
 
3:28 PM
I don't know, he sounds like a pretty rad dude
 
@Rapitor You know, I had forgotten they made these things for like every OS
 
@Rapitor Video's not loading.
 
yeah, I wonder would what happen if they tried marketing with them in the west?
 
@TimStone that's different though
 
@TimStone Did we get rid of Tom Stone too?
 
3:30 PM
@Chippies UR DIFFERENT
 
@Rapitor Either something amazing, or something horrible. Probably both.
 
@Powerlord No, we baleeted Tom Stine on accident.
 
@Yuuki the video is just the news segment... you can see the official site maybe?

Is Vet1 blues good enough or should I have a few set bonuses before I move up? I know that this isn't going to be l...

 
What about Yukki?
Ooh, and Lasers
 
3:31 PM
The weird thing is that they're treating this as an official Microsoft tradition. Which it isn't.
 
@Yuuki Oh, was it just a fan thing before?
 
The OS girls were something fanmade that Microsoft (and I think their Japan office only) recently started to do as well.
 
Ah. I knew I'd seen them before
Saying "fanmade" when talking about an OS sounds weird
 
@Yuuki I think it's been official since 7.
 
I could've sworn it wasn't official-official (as in Redmond HQ) so much as a Japan office thing.
 
I'm not sure Redmond HQ knows what's going on in many regions

Q: What do disruptors do?

PyritieDisruptors are a type of subweapon that come in a set with certain main weapons. You throw them at other players and they disrupt them somehow. But I can't find anything ingame that actually tells you what they do exactly. How long does their effect last for, what does it do, and how big is the...

 
@Lazers2.0 Disruptors disrupt
obviously.
