@badp stop

@fredley it is too late.

you can't stop the cunning roman numeral jokes and bug reports from coming

you can't stop the number from going up

you can't stop the rate of the number's up going from going up

Here's the story of Big Boss in just a few sentences

The Boss: Snake, find something worth fighting for. Don't just fight.

Big Boss: ...Does fighting count?

@badp NaN

LIVID

Yes that's no valid roman numeral.

@fredley can stop will stop

4:22 PM

If you had to try and make heads or tails out of it it would be 50 + 1 + 5 - 1 - 500

and that's with extremely lax rules on processing roman numerals

@SaintWacko up your mainstat or disable the safe adventuring in options

@SaintWacko Where was the last place you adventured?

@GodEmperorDune No, that gives a more obvious response.

@Yuuki Oh, I beat the bat boss, that's why it won't let me back in

"You shouldn't be here" is for when you attempt use the Last Adventure link to go somewhere you can't anymore.

Like boss rooms in @SaintWacko's example or consumable-activated areas after the buff wears off.

(The Worm Wood for tiny bottle of absinthe, Down the Rabbit Hole for a 'D.R.I.N.K.M.E.' potion, etc.)

4:54 PM

@GodEmperorDune shudders

user15026

I tried that ONCE. (Followed a shot of Maple Crown with a shot of straight syrup) and I wanted to die.

In all seriousness, I've always been interested in how they use stats to figure out who is lying in surveys and whatnot

user15026

I know we covered some of that in my uni psych stuff but I forget a lot of the details

I wonder how many people are as childish as me and picked 69

I answered most of those questions with the actual first thing that came to mind

4:58 PM

@twobugs 3.1415 best number to pick

@murgatroid99 yeah I did too, but some of th funnier multiple choice I had to go for

@murgatroid99 I'm trying to do this but for the "list a word you can never seem to spell correctly" all the words I tried to enter I spelled correctly

I just left that blank

@twobugs For me it's "receive". I have to think about it to not transpose the "ei". And I mistyped it differently when I tried to enter it

It's usually teh for me

4:59 PM

I couldn't think of any words that fit, most of them I misspell, then look up, and then remember

@fredley yes. I am Ɔ

Just because I mustype it so frequently

@twobugs edited. Always edited. Because edited looks wrong to me every time I write edited.

@AshleyNunn I like the very last question about socks. Because I totally did that and told people about it. :P

Dammit autocorrect

@Sterno did you tell @Wipqozn? I don't think he followed it

5:01 PM

for all I know, @Wipqozn's socks are universally awful

I also named it Sockageddon, though I had not heard that before, but which googling shows is not an uncommon name for the phenomena.

My Google+ post about it is my 11th google hit for "sockageddon". So yay, I guess.

Sockageddon is when @Wipqozn posted those pics, right?

No.

That was Eyeballageddon, when he tried to make us all go blind.

@badp RIP

I need to get used to the new Google favicon. I had thought I closed (or clicked off) a search results page at first.

Okay. MGS5 apparently lets me attach balloons to bears to send them soaring up into the sky, where they will be whisked away by airplane to my secret base. GOTY.

@Sterno That's nothing new. Peace Walker had a rocket launcher that did that.

You'd hit someone with a rocket and then it sent them to your base.

BEARS ON BALLOONS

Not even the same thing as teleporting rocket launchers!

If you kidnap people from someone else's base they get sucked into a dark portal

ART. It's just ART.

Oh no

@badp is going to go on a timecube rampage isn't he?

It's okay. Timecube just went down. Let him mourn in his own way.

Sure, but he's going to be bothering us with it!

Nah, I have my own time-based trolls

lol

5:25 PM

But rationalwiki.org/wiki/Time_Cube is a good read

Rationalwiki in general is a good read

Heh "~~No one knows why a four-sided figure should be called a cube~~ (a cube has four sides plus a top and a bottom, duh!)"

@GnomeSlice Yeah that is a pack of lies

@James It's just a joke.

You guys wanna see something cool

@GnomeSlice I am debating on a 'so is your face!' or maybe a your mom joke but... Meh Im tired :D

5:27 PM

look at how rad that is

Q: Do I actually only have 3 days to save Miller?

1

So, I got to Chapter One, and Ocelot kept talking about he thinks Miller "probably has about 3 days left". This seems like an arbitrary number he chose. When I finally got control of my character, I listened to all the audio tapes I'd unlocked and noticed that about 6 hours of game time had pass...

@GnomeSlice is that a vinyl or a cd?

Vinyl

I thought so, I would not trust a flimsy plastic disk with such edges cut out off it to rotate at several thousand RPM

Hm, J-Stars Victory+ for 30% off this week

Chippies

5:30 PM

@KevinvanderVelden I know people who have had CD's shoot out of the cd-rom due to whatever malfunction they had

(Holy shit 52x speed discs are 10.400rpm. That's 234 kilometers per hour at the outer edge)

『Scalebound（スケイルバウンド）』最新プレイ映像

more scalebound! (similar to gamescom presentation, but with more stuff)

I'm really hyped for Scalebound

@Rapitor it's a game with dragons? Hmmmmm

Friendly dragon, I'm already liking it

It's a platinum game. It will be pretty, probably fast paced, with tricky controls.

5:33 PM

dragons, DnB, a sassy protagonist. what's not to love

@MadMAxJr And incredibly awesome, but people will say "why can't this be more technical, like that new DmC game" and my blood pressure will reach critical levels

Hmm xbone game though

It's one of like 3 games I bought an Xbone for

What are the others?

XKCD Survey Taken :D

5:34 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Forza and Sunset Overdrive

Oh yeah, I was interested in sunset overdrive till I heard it was xbone only

@Rapitor this looks pretty dope

@twobugs I played sunset overdrive during the free weekend, it was pretty fun. at the same time it felt kind of bare though

I really like Sunset Overdrive. Fun third person action game. Not quite as good as Ratchet & Clank, but still good.

Crackdown 3 - E3 2014 Trailer | Xbox One

Speaking of Xbox Exclusive, I was really sad that Crackdown 3 is still Xbox-Only.

5:36 PM

It has multiplayer which is fun, but weird. It's co-operative but you're competing for points with the other players

That's the best kind of co-op, the dicking eachother over co-op

Well, it's not quite as well done as it is in say Zelda Four Swordws

It just feels weird.

well now there is zelda three swords

because fuck the fourth guy

I liked the purple Link, though :(

@GnomeSlice Only ish for me right now.. I am a huge fan of 1, 2 was ok.. but 3 .... Looks like they wanted to make a red faction game.. and somehow ended up with crackdown?

5:38 PM

2 had potential, but it was clearly rushed and that was a shame because 1 was so awesome.

@KevinvanderVelden I don't think that is how co-op works.. we need a new term for 'Fail Together' Competitive game play

crackdown 3 is there to remind devs and players that "hey, we still have that super powerful cloud, why won't you assholes use it"

2 was still fun, but they just didn't give the devs enough time

IIRC the whole game had less than like 11 months of development with a skeleton team

Yeah well isnt that game originally done by Real Worlds Whatever? The guys who were working on APB and now simply dont exist any more? :)

I guess I'll keep an eye out on xbone discounts

5:39 PM

@James no, APB is still a thing

@Rapitor Yeah but its APB Reloaded, cause a company right close to where I work bought it

as that is what they do, buy failed IP and revamp/release it for pennies on the dollar.

(They offered me a job :D)

yeah, i thought it was still the same people

@James From my understanding a lot of the core Crackdown 1 team left and ended up working on Crackdown 2

And APB would be what I would be working on, hehe

So while APB was made by the same company as Crackdown 1, basically different teams

5:40 PM

@Rapitor Nah, new people man.

ah, alright

I liked APB, but it was way too pay 2 win for my comfort

also hackers everywhere

I only played the APB beta and it seemed unpolished

Cool concept, though.

Okay, so in KoL, once I'm out of adventures, and have filled up on food, am I done for the day?

user15026

@SaintWacko Did you drink?

user15026

(Don't get drunk, though. I think if you're new and playing, don't go past 14 drunk)

5:43 PM

@Rapitor Yeah, it was not secure but it was a great idea... If they could tone down the hackers on GTA V and add in 'Cops' then BAM that would be awesome

But yeah, I liked Sunset Overdrive a lot. Fun, colorful world. Great weapons. Awesome movement system

i was pretty much the troll cop in APB anyway. i'd steal stolen cars and return them :D

especially if people were on missions and needed to go places

The humor was kind of hit and miss, but it had some great moments

Have I mentioned atlasreactorgame.com here yet?

@AshleyNunn No I have not :)

5:48 PM

@GnomeSlice This sounds neat but the art style looks like some weird Wildstar/Overwatch hybrid

@AshleyNunn 14 is okay, though?

user15026

@SaintWacko yep

user15026

You'd know if you went too far :)

@AshleyNunn there we go, 29 more adventures!

Thanks :)

user15026

No problem

user15026

5:56 PM

Just don't be like me and decide to rest on your clan couch and then end up accidently typing teh number of adventures you have left rather than the number of adventures you want to spend sleeping on the couch

Damnit Hearthstone, I don't want to make a deck for a tavern brawl! Just give me a premade one!

Further evidence that people who think all downvotes should be explained are insane

Missing from those comments is the original that was rather rude and explained the downvote was due to lack of research effort

@AshleyNunn Ouch

Well, now I'm out of adventures :P

user15026

6:07 PM

@SaintWacko I was so mad because I have so much awesome questing I am doing and I could have made so much progress!

I was having fun on break with my Hearthstone ranked deck. Warrior playing Grim Patrons in a deck full of things where you poke your own minions for 1.

@Sterno Ugh. I dislike berating people for not reading the manual.

@MadMAxJr Yep. Grim Patron is a powerful and dangerous deck

@Yuuki These are cool. Except, how can "The Story of Big Boss told in 5 minutes" require 2 parts, which are 4 minutes and 6 minutes respectively?

@JasonBerkan At this point, who even expects there to be a manual?

It's actually tucked away in the options in MGS5

In other news, today I made my ringtone the Archer theme song. Because @fredley

Lots of games do digital manuals now, but it's not well advertised

6:10 PM

i didn't know game manuals are still even a thing

@Sterno why was it removed?

@djsmiley2k Probably because I flagged it at not constructive. I don't remember the exact language, but it was overly rude

imo

Mostly because it was directed at a new user.

Big boss was a mighty man who went in the jungle and ate all the animals. Then he shot some badguys but it turns out one of the badguys was good, kind of, but only if you share her ethical view. Sing 'Snake Eater' here. Snake kills The Boss then becomes Big Boss and decides to make a nation without borders only it's really just a paramilitary group with an agenda.

That entire batch of comments could be removed, IMO.

@Sterno As it condecending?

user15026

Cleared the comments - while I appreciate people were trying to explain downvotes...the language could have been somewhat more constructive.

I don't think downvotes should require comments, but it does help.

6:12 PM

Is there anyway in chat, to see who are moderators on the main site?

Well, it helps if you leave a good comment

@twobugs personally I think it depends on the question

And not just "this question sucks"

If it's obviously trash....

Yeah, if it's a barely comprehensible mess then it's unlikely to be salvageable

6:13 PM

I think the best part of MGS3 was eating the snipers pet parrot. He gets really mad about that.

@djsmiley2k gaming.stackexchange.com/users?tab=moderators

Ah, right that was 'The End'

@AshleyNunn No kidding. That's a lot. So how many more adventures will I get tomorrow?

In chat, it doesn't actually matter who the main site moderators are. Any moderator has power in here

(which is indicated with a blue name)

Though we do like to bitch about non-main-site moderators using their powers in here, because MOD ABUSE

@JasonBerkan so not directly in chat?

6:14 PM

@djsmiley2k They are blue. Italics indicates room owner.

Tim Stone

@Sterno Don't worry, I'm on standby

@Sterno I'm more likely to listen to a mod of the main site in here, when they are telling me my move on the main site was bad.

@JasonBerkan That's all I needed, thanks :)

user15026

@SaintWacko I believe rollover is 40

Okay there's a guy with a very important MGSV question on the front page. CAN YOU PET THE PUPPY ON THE BASE?

user15026

and they stack, to a max of 200 if you don't play for a while.

user15026

6:15 PM

(so it was awesome when I came back from camping)

If there is a serious lack of tactical espionage puppy petting action, I might be slightly disappointed.

RIP @Fei

@AshleyNunn yeah, I had 200 when I started up today

I'm an accordion thief

this is why the world needs science

@SaintWacko there are certain things you can do to increase your adventures for the next day

6:16 PM

@GodEmperorDune Oh?

user15026

@SaintWacko I'm a Turtle Tamer :)

@AshleyNunn Wat

That sounds awesome

@MadMAxJr Tactical espionage puppy petting Operations, thank you very much.

Trophy: pet a dog without the dog detecting you

user15026

6:17 PM

@SaintWacko I find a lot of things that I keep thinking are turtles but they're not (which I suspect is the point) and it is hilarious

Easiest one is a "nightcap", or drinking some potent booze after your adventures are out. The overdrunkenness will be gone tomorrow, but the adventures stay with you

for someone whose never played a MG game in his life, the sheer lack of context the games have entertains the hell out of me

@GodEmperorDune Ah, good thinking

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I never considered that!

I don't know if it's on the PS Store anymore, but MGS4 had a downloadable MG Timeline app.

6:20 PM

THE VIDEO SAYS "IN 5 MINUTES" BUT IT IS 10 MINUTES. THIS CANNOT STAND

@GodEmperorDune "but the adventures stay with you" is like the cheesiest line ever.

And to absolutely drown you in info, here is every possible way to increase your adventures for the next day: kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/…

Ronan Forman

@GodEmperorDune Heh, I just let autocorrect wreak havoc, it's more fun that way.

@MadMAxJr The End was great because you could beat him by just waiting one week.

6:22 PM

@SaintWacko \o/

@MadMAxJr That was the compendium. It was weird because it had some bizarre retcons that contradict the games themselves in nonsense ways

@RonanForman I guess you haven't seen @gnomephone then

IIRC there was an obvious one with MGS2 and the President

I seem to be missing ~25 mithral.... OH wait duuur

they only show up in the count once you've used them to build something -_-

Today on Other People's Hell's Commute

2

When I arrive at my train station, I am usually about 45 minutes late to my last bus home

so somebody has to pick me up.

Since it was starting to rain, I went sit down under cover, at the bus station.

Some other person sits down, too.

Time passes as I wait for my pickup.

We're both messing around on our respective mobiles.

oh no

The last bus of the day speeds from the blind turn

NICE

6:41 PM

By chance I have enough time to make eye contact with the driver

I hate it when that happens

oh

She is fucking staring at us

urgh

nobheads.

while she speeds the fuck away

That happened to me a while ago. I ran up to him at the light and knocked on the door and he just waved me away

6:42 PM

the other person realizes what's happening a second too late.

@GnomeSlice Ahahaha, what an asshole

RIGHT AS THAT HAPPENS, my pickup arrives and honks.

Now... what would you have done?

:/

I wouldn't have said anything

as much as I'd like to think I would.

because I was staring at her panicking as I walked towards the car.

She was walking her separate way and she didn't turn back

but I still feel like sort of an asshole.

Nah

you're male right?

6:43 PM

Yes.

'hey random female, come sit in my car!'

You didn't do anything wrong. Offering a ride would have probably been worse because you weren't driving :P

:D

She was way off in terms of dating age.

@badp eRRoR, index out of bounds exception?

6:44 PM

either way she'll be able to sort her self out

either parents, or she can fix it.

Don't forget it was starting to rain, and there's no rain cover in that direction for a good 20 minutes' walking.

Maybe she had an umbrella, though.

It's just water, not acid rain

I dunno, still felt bad. I once did this absentmindedly to a person I was somewhat a distant acquaintance of, and he aggressively never acknowledged me again since.

That guy sounds like an asshole

I didn't really mind it too much since I wasn't precisely too fond of his company, but I still did wrong him.

In this other case I even knew we lived in the same general neighbourhood.

Oh well. MISTAKES WERE MADE.

BIG FUCKING DEAL.

6:48 PM

my neighbour offered me a lift home once from the station

about 15min walk

I declined as my wife was comign to get me, and we were to go shopping

he never even acknologed me being on the train ever again o_O

D:

@badp How did you wrong him? Not offering him a ride...?

@twobugs Yes

@djsmiley2k maybe it was how you declined it?

It was the same situation though, right? Someone else was picking you up?

6:49 PM

After the fact I also realized that he was hinting heavily that he would've appreciated the ride.

@GodEmperorDune haha maybe

He didn't ask for it outright though.

I said no thanks my wife is picking me up to go shopping...

@twobugs Yes.

IMO, that should be up to the driver and if he didn't ask then it's 100% on him and you didn't do anything wrong.

Sure maybe you missed the cues or whatever but that's not your fault. If you want something, you have to communicate it

6:50 PM
