The Bridge

The only reason I'm replacing my current mouse, a RAT 7, is because the left mouse button isn't debouncing like it should. I could keep it connected for games and use an MX Master the rest of the time.

Today, in how to mislead people with charts:

user15026

Wow. That's....wow.

That's some grade-A misleading mess there.

SaintWacko

@Sterno Wow

That's awful

12:06 AM

@Sterno I'm new to this whole home buying thing, but I thought, as a seller, you wanted a shorter time on market

GnomeSlice

I know what I'm watching for the rest of ever

@Frank meta.se drama best drama

@GodEmperorDune Not so much drama, but I'm guessing SE just had a run of problematic people nominating themselves.

@Sterno Are you looking at moving?

@Frank it has to be the SFF drama bleeding over

12:11 AM

@GodEmperorDune Could be. I caught some of that, but wasn't really interested in it.

murgatroid99

I'm pretty sure it was triggered by SFF

But it's not only about SFF

Oh my !@#$%^&

@murgatroid99 well yes it applies to everyone

Dear LG: Stop offering software on your support page for specific phones that don't actually work with said phone

@PrivatePansy your cthulhu?

12:15 AM

Also, how many updates do I have to install to get the drivers to the latest version?

So all purchasers of Godus got Godus Wars for free.

But, surprise, surprise, it turns out once you finish the first area, the game wants $5 for you to continue.

Cue gamer rage.

ok nice, I might get a Pi case and a battery thingy, and make my own connect-with-phone console.

Hmm, just if my phone had two screens, I wouldn't need a controller/mouse too.

Hmm I should grocery and also check to see if my gas tank is full and demand payment from my brother if not

Since he went home literally twice in the last 2 weekends

Which is approximately the rest of the tank I think

@Frank Ah, so it's not free, but free*

Hah. Google's stopping linking to sites that have those annoying fake download buttons on them.

12:28 AM

*terms and conditions apply

@Frank Most of those I've seen are hosted on Google's own ad servers

@PrivatePansy After the backlash, they removed the cost. But seem confused anyone would think that it was a bad idea.

Everything is legal* if you put an asterisk on it!

*legality might be illegal. Your life is your responsibility, I don't accept any of your responsibilities. Do your DomCho on your own.

@PrivatePansy Well, Sourceforge, in particular, will have to figure out alternate ad revenue.

All I can say is, good riddance.

@Frank they already are

> Molyneux emboldened his promise to no longer speak to the press by speaking to the press yesterday to assure that he no longer spoke to the press. He has so far managed to not speak to the press about this latest incident.

@PrivatePansy Those are against the rules. If you see one, you can report it

Also yes Google ads accept feedback

Q: How to downgrade minecraft pocket edition

-1

Since I can't upgrade a server I'll downgrade Minecraft. I have already tried upgrading a server.

minecraft-pocket-edition

They are one of the least evil ad networks

@Frank I got Godus Wars? I was not aware of this.

I also don't know what Godus Wars is.

12:32 AM

@Yuuki So far, it's Godus.

Broken, incomplete game and all.

Also, Early Access.

early access? but that's your kryptonite @frank!

Worst stuff start with EA: Electronic Arts, and Early Access

Early access games should be complete! The defense rests

Worst stuff shart with U: Ubisoft and Unionhawk.

@ardaozkal old joke is old

12:35 AM

@GodEmperorDune No, Kickstarters that change their promises right before launch are.

Or Star Command in general.

@GodEmperorDune check the new one under it.

I still have no complete game from that.

He's still angry about elite and he didn't even back it

@ardaozkal -1, no mention of double "U" aka @Wipqozn

This is literally true

12:36 AM

@Unionhawk You change your game and refuse to give refunds to those who backed you.

There's literally no goodwill to be seen there.

See, this is why you have issues with assuming bad faith

That was probably funnier in my head

@Unionhawk welcome to my world.

Where every joke I say is funnier before I say it.

And it sounds serious and it ends up terrible.

Meh

It is literally true, though it may be tautological

Well, Best Buy's payment system crashed, so no new mouse tonight. It is reserved, though.

Fluttershy

@Dragonrage Not really. :(

12:45 AM

@fbueckert No. That was just some year-end thing my former realtor sent me

@MBraedley Which mouse?

@GodEmperorDune It makes you feel super popular

1 hour ago, by MBraedley

I submit to The Bridge: This or this?

@MBraedley Neither. Go with this.

I'm rocking the G600 version of that. So many buttons.

> Too many buttons.

FTFY

Man, you crazy kids.

but yeah that's legit

It's the only mouse I've owned where I haven't felt myself wanting more buttons

12:53 AM

@Wipqozn I'm older than you!

@MBraedley YOUR CRAZY KIDS

And I don't have kids

Although looking at it now, I think I still prefer my g600

gaming.logitech.com/en-ca/product/g600-mmo-gaming-mouse

They took off a lot of buttons

They took off a lot of buttons in 602

4 more hours until XCOM

Okay, 4 more hours until it unlocks, 45 minutes after that for it to actually finish installing, then a few hours of sleep, then driving the kids to daycare and praying they're not sick and have to stay home, and THEN XCOM

> This game will unlock in approximately 4 hours

How terrible.

I won't be playing ti tonight

I should boot up the PC before work tomorrow and start the install finishing

1:00 AM

NOPE, I WILL CONTINUE TO RESIST PRE-ORDERING IT.

@Yuuki Don't be dumb. buy it.

You can pre-load it

I've got a mic hooked up now.

Now I can talk to the nobody watching while I stream

@Sterno i toid you i'll watch

@Wipqozn As much as I don't like pre-order bonuses, do I get anything?

@Yuuki Additional soldier clothing options i think

I only pre-ordered for the pre-load

and I only did it last night

1:05 AM

And a survivor of the old war?

Hmm...

Ugh, DLC already?

More to the point, gameplay/content DLC already?

I think that no game ever should release with DLCs.

They should be included in the game, as they aren't extra effort after game release.

Recently, I don't think I have as much of a problem I used to with release-day DLC.

As long as it's mostly cosmetic and there's a reasonable price.

$20 is not a reasonable price for release day DLC, imo.

Only Season Passes in release time are ok in my book

The $20 is the season pass

guess i'll wait and pick it up as GOTY

1:08 AM

Includes some customization but also bonus mission stuff

I think all that's out at launch is customization

If you do get the launch day DLC, you might as well get the Deluxe Edition instead. Cheaper and you get the soundtrack.

I just got the basic edition. If I want the other stuff later on I'll grab it then

Or wait for said basic stuff to go on sale.

Yeah, probably

I'm wondering myself if I should for XCOM2 to go on sale.

1:10 AM

I'll never buy xcom 2.

I bought it because reasons. And I had spare money in my paypal

It is released by ARAL games in turkey.

Well, I have roughly 4 hours for my willpower to crumble, so there's that.

Thanks to them, Xcom 2 costs the most in turkey.

Basic Edition costs 75US$

There are two approaches that work for piracy: Cheaper, or more expensive.

"Cheaper" lowers the piracy rates, and you get less money if the game isn't popular.

"More expensive" gets the piracy rates higher, and you get a lot of money, even if the game isn't popular.

The aral games distrubutor picks the latter, and turkey has a %90 piracy rate on software.

Damnit why do I have to go to work tomorrow

1:21 AM

@Unionhawk @TimStone So apparently Horizons is getting a price reduction and getting categorized as season pass DLC in a few days?

Ugh, I'm tempted to pick up Elite again after hearing that.

Oh man, I've got some amazing news

You can get 2 (TWO!!!!!!!) characters in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes for ONLY $99.99!!!!!

@Yuuki that's basically what it is

MadMAxJr

a quarter of my friends is playing xcom2. Grrr.

You get access to all 2.x content, base game gets some updates

Their previous pricing model on steam made literally no sense

Fractal

@Unionhawk random pings ftw

1:29 AM

Of you do pick up Horizons and the game, I'll see you on Archer 3

Gravitational constant: 6g

user15026

@twobugs that's ridiculous. Why are you not jumping all over that obvious bargain?

@AshleyNunn I don't know... it's really tempting!

That is 6 times the gravitational force on earth yes

(I have to wonder how many of these they actually sell. The cheapest one was a character not of your choice for like $25?)

user15026

Q: I Sometimes see special alphabet characters in the chat, they look less pixelated, question is: How do I get them?

The alphabets look less pixelated, more like a real font, and they seems to be typing still normally and not slower, and I want to get them!!! Plz answer

minecraft

@twobugs yeah i told you EA turned it into a massive cash grab

It just blows my mind that you get two characters for $100

@Unionhawk where is this Archer 3?

I mean it's Kylo Ren and Finn so that's two popular characters that are pretty strong but they don't seem to be god tier or anything

@twobugs it's EA, and i'm sure some star wars fan has money sitting in their pocket just waiting

1:37 AM

Goddammit Achenar, it's a star system in Elite

@twobugs finn is OK, kylo is great

Kylo is great, but he's no Rey

Rey just 1shots everyone

really

she was super weak when i fought her

i guess most people hadn't unlocked

kylo rey literally carried my team many times

pair him with phasma in the guest spot, the first order pilot, first order trooper, shit was unreal

She deals insane damage. Her "downside" is supposed to be that if she gets debuffed she is weakened, but one of her attacks gives her deflection

So good luck hitting her if you don't get it right away

I've had her hit for like, 2k on crits

Hold on, she's weakened if she's debuffed, aka she's debuffed if she's debuffed?

1:40 AM

damn i only did that in some of the special battle rule things

@Unionhawk Extra weakened. It's a weird mechanic

She also gets stronger from being buffed. Because yeah, she really needs that

meh, i'm happy i quit that game

i was burning a lot of time and not really getting anywhere

DOUBLE DEBUFFS DOUBLE BUFFS

YUS

I thought my save was deleted for a bit but no, it just didn't immediately sync to google play and you need to do the tutorial to actually relink

Great design

@Unionhawk Ah, the one that someone mentioned that I shouldn't try landing on.

1:49 AM

It's fun times

Start with a low g world, rocky, too

Or metallic, not icy

Achenar 3 is what separates the pilots from the shipwrecks

There's also organic constructs related to the unknown artefacts to discover

And they're looking for Starship One. The lore right now is pretty neat

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD – What’s New

There's just one problem with picking up either Elite or XCOM2 right now:

►

And maybe Fire Emblem.

@Yuuki Always Fire Emblem.

Too bad the Special Edition is completely sold out.

@Frank I'm annoyed because I really only want to play Revelations.

But I have to buy Birthright or Conquest to get it.

@Yuuki ...Do you?

I thought you only got a discount if you did.

Revelations comes out three weeks after.

2:05 AM

Meh, I'll wait and see

I like FE but Awakening wasn't my cup of tea

Hard Classic, all the way.

None of this phoenix mode silliness for me.

That said, @TrentHawkins also loves Fire Emblem (and actually finished Awakening), so it seems like a good idea to buy both copies, and swap when we finish.

@twobugs Conquest is apparently more like classic FE.

@Yuuki Yeah, I'm excited for that. Classic FE is great IMO

Draft your fantasy team for Puppy Bowl XII today

user15026

Awakening was my first ever FE

2:16 AM

This is amazing

@AshleyNunn Not a bad one to begin with!

Everything about this I approve of

@Unionhawk no pugs, why even bother

I'm getting nosebleed pretty much lately. Any tips on what I should do? Other than Health.se?

@ardaozkal drinking more water may help

Tissue, lean head forward as treatment

@ardaozkal Doctors tend to be a good bet.

Hydration may help indeed

Avoid cocaine, too

2:24 AM

@Unionhawk I'd joke saying "probably that", but future employers might not understand jokes that well.

user15026

@Yuuki This is one of those things where I've had the solution explained to me a million times and I still don't trust it would work

About drinking more water: Will try. Tissue and head forward: Already what I'm doing. Doctors: Long story short: Mom is unemployed atm and it can cost thousands without her insurance.

I should probably live more healthily too.

Trent Hawkins

@Frank I don't know about love, but it certainly breaks through my apathy barrier, and some of the character interactions is funny.

i usually let it drip out in a sink

you want to get oxygen in there to start clotting

@GodEmperorDune I usually do that too, but the one a few mins ago was like, a faucet.

2:29 AM

I think we need to talk to people who make up problems about using alphabetical names

Trent Hawkins

@ardaozkal From my knowledge of Simpsons: If your nose starts bleeding, it means you’re picking it too much. Or not enough.

@ardaozkal has it clotted yet?

It always is the same nostril, so I guess it has something to do with the blood vessels in that one. And I'm sick so I'm usually cleaning it, and it happens usually after that.

@GodEmperorDune yes, twice.

@ardaozkal it might be you scratched it when you clean it

Waiting for the third.

three.

As opposed to not cooking, that is
