7:00 PM
This turret has miussed @AshleyNunn twice
It seems @Sterno just sucks at not getting hit by turrets
good jobv @AshleyNunn!
You blew upt hat turret with your grenade launcher
 
user15026
Oooh, I have a grenade launcher? That's pretty great.
 
@AshleyNunn It's called a hug gun.
 
user15026
Hug gun best gun.
 
@Wipqozn nooooooooooooooooooo
 
oh man
@AshleyNunn just resisted some psychic bullshit
 
7:06 PM
@fredley bloons, nice
@Wipqozn those cybernetic implants
hmm, maybe i should play an xcom EW game
 
@Wipqozn She deals with customers for a living.
 
@Sterno Looks like Wet Work is retroactive (aka buy it, and some fo your soldiers might instantly level up)
 
@Wipqozn Awesome
Trying to decide if I want to start a new game or ride out my A-team wipe
 
@Sterno Isn't an A-team wipe basically the premise of the game?
 
7:28 PM
@Ronan It's different when you have 12 characters, 5 die, 4 are wounded, and you've got an important mission coming up in 2 days
 
Damn you @Wipqozn
 
@TimStone OH SNAP!
Did you cave?!?!@?
 
I did ;_;
It's my birthday next month so uhhh I guess this counts?
 
@Wipqozn You didn't have yourself in your Arqade file!
 
@Sterno I don't make a character for myself
I'm the Commander! You're my puppets, sent off to die
 
7:32 PM
@Wipqozn Ahahahaha YES
That's me
 
I like @fredley's outfit
 
@Sterno I thought you would
I'll upload the latest one the enxt time I close the game
 
Clean bill of health for the cats, but I did get some scratches getting them into the carrier
 
I'm adding a bunch of names but not worrying what they look like
I don't know how to do single names.
 
Next game I get is Fire Emblem.
 
7:35 PM
This results in Kalina being "Kalina Flyk"
 
@Wipqozn When is the updated file with the most important Bridge member, ME, going up?
 
@twobugs Never
 
@Frank Let me know what you think of it. I'm interested but so much to do right now
WOW I was just insulted
 
@fbueckert created!
 
Now I have to wait for it to download. Clearly @Wipqozn's fault.
 
7:37 PM
@twobugs I'm going to enjoy it; I always love those games.
Even if I rarely finish them.
 
I loved the older style ones. Awakening was still good but it just felt different
I think Conquest is supposed to be more traditional style?
 
@twobugs It was the first one where levelling didn't have to be as strict.
 
for fuck sakes
Stun lancers really are just bullshit
Also viper, what
it did two attacks
 
Previous games, you had to level them up to max level to maximize stat gains.
 
two nits are poisoned
so now two of my units are just done basically, and I assume totally fucked and going to die?
 
7:39 PM
@Frank True, and I liked how the handled support convos with every character having unique ones and it being outside of battle
I didn't like that it turned into Fantasy Eugenics, but meh
 
@twobugs There were some bullshit moments, though.
 
@Wipqozn Medkits can heal them. Or Gremlins that have the med perk
 
@Sterno I think I lack both opf those
I haven't bothered with medkits
 
Playing on Hard means enemy units can both spawn AND move in the same turn.
 
Specialists are awesome
Don't leave home without one
 
7:40 PM
So unless you know they're going to show up, they generally murder a guy.
 
I don't take medkits (though I might once I get predator armor, since that opens another utility slot)
 
@Frank YEP. That good old Intelligent Systems assholeness
 
wow, fuck these snakes
dodging is bullshit
 
@twobugs It's caused me to restart SO MANY fights.
 
oh, and I missed my 81% shot to destroy cover
 
7:41 PM
@Wipqozn AND THOSE TONGUES
 
I hate that they know people want to keep all their characters alive so they put in "gotchas" like that
 
@Ronan is definitly dead
panic, and poisoned
 
@Wipqozn I blame @Wipqozn.
 
@twobugs It's pretty stupid game mechanics.
It jut encourages hanging back and murdering everything that comes near.
 
for fuck sakes, I hate dodging
 
7:43 PM
If Bridge members don't have nationality in their profile, they're going be from Argentina in XCOM2
because alphabetical
 
I like how Valkyria Chronicles handled it better. Story characters can't permanently die, other characters get "downed" and if you get to them in time they're okay but ejected from the fight
 
@twobugs And then you can just re-deploy them next turn.
 
Speaking of, there's apparently going to be a really cool "remastered" VC Steam edition
 
I don't quite agree with that, as it lowers the cost of stupid mistakes.
It's the whole spawn and move thing I call bullshit on.
Because it virtually guarantees a restart.
 
I think it should be a little harsher, but yeah the spawn and move thing was awful
Had that happen to me in XCOM 2 (Faceless SUCK) and I would have restarted but I was streaming and no savescumming during a stream!
 
7:46 PM
@Wipqozn You get green armor because turtle
 
Okay, my icon situattion is getting out of hand
 
oh good
yueah this mission is going to be a wipe
no way I survive this
 
Congratulations on @Ronan for being promoted
 
I have so many shortcuts on my desktop that I can't add new ones
 
@KevinvanderVelden To dead?
 
7:47 PM
Nope, that was the other half of the squad
 
Oh. I just died in @Wipqozn's game.
 
@twobugs I thought it was a PS4 version of what was already released on Steam?
 
And no pistols to the face could save me.
 
@Wipqozn WAIT? HOW DID YOU NOT MAKE @GnomeSlice YET?
 
@Ronan This split personality is getting concerning.
 
7:49 PM
@Frank I can feel them ALL
 
@TimStone Oh, probably. I think you're right
 
oh good, someone else is poisoined
being able to grab and poison in one turn is fucked
oh I think @Ronan is poison free now
but he's panicked
 
@Wipqozn It's true I don't deal well when stressed.
But I don't get stressed easily, so it balances out.

Q: How does 'bladestorm' work?

BlueRaja - Danny PflughoeftOne of the ranger's abilities is Bladestorm. The description is: Free sword attacks on enemies that enter or attack from melee range I have some questions about the mechanics: If my character is the one moving, do they still get a free sword attack? Or only when the enemy moves? If an e...

Q: Minecraft Commands

c15kenworthmanI'm trying to make an invisible villager riding a squid, then once the quid dies from suffocation, an ink sac will drop. Then, using a /execute command, I need all entities in a radius of 4 to die. I'm having problems with the ink sac. Everything else works for me EXCEPT the /execute on the ink s...

This is @GnomeSlice.
 
7:52 PM
annnd someone died
 
@Sterno All those happy faces just give so many targets.
 
@Sterno whoa man. How did you manage to get an RL pic of @GnomeSlice into the game?
 
@Wipqozn You were really spot on for me as well. It's kind of spooky, actually
 
Am I still alive?
 
I think I'm actually going to skip the new Fire Emblem.
Do I even exist?
 
7:55 PM
@Yuuki The philosophy here escalated quickly
 
@Yuuki Fire Emblem lost me at the "gay conversion" thing.
 
@Fluttershy Hwat?
 
@Wipqozn Who?
 
@Ronan coworker
 
@twobugs Mobile isn't letting me edit that as a reply to @Fluttershy.
 
7:56 PM
You managed to flex the poison away
 
There were apparently some... really weird conversations in the Japanese versions that got cut and/or heavily censored for the worldwide release
 
@fbueckert
 
holy fuck I hate people that call and on't leave voicemail
my uncle keeps calling me, but I really don't feel like talking to him
 
@twobugs Well, I know bisexuality is version-exclusive.
 
7:57 PM
just leave a fucking voicemail, jesus
 
There were also "funny" "joke" references to date rape or whatever
 
He probably just wants me to fix his computer
 
@Wipqozn Voice mail is the worst.
 
And the whole... petting minigame
 
FOR FUICK SAKES
 
7:58 PM
I don't think we lost anything of value
 
the camera just glitched on me twice and moved my character ot the wrong spot
 
@twobugs Which isn't in the international release.
 
Yeah, it's just really weird this stuff was even included in the first place. I guess they're trying to target a certain demographic...
 
@Wipqozn Bronzeman
 
@Sterno Seriosuly consider it
because if that costs me the mission I';ll be fucking pissed
 
7:59 PM
In any case, there's a male bisexual character in Conquest and a female one in Birthright.
 
user15026
Iiiinteresting.
 
So yay for inclusion, but a bit weird that they made it version-exclusive.
 
@Yuuki It's like Pokemon - you have to buy both to collect them all!
 
user15026
@Yuuki Yeah, that's kinda weird
 
@Wipqozn Ah I thought you meant people who are On-Call and don't have voice mail
that's also the worst.

Q: Creative with cheats

user138332I'm in super flat in vanilla 1.8.8 and there are slimes everywhere that I want to kill all of them without doing it with a sword. Is there a command for this? I tried /killall and /kill all it doesn't work.

Q: Difference between capturing and killing an enemy VIP?

WipqoznSome missions require you to capture or kill an enemy VIP. I'm assuming capturing the VIP has better rewards than killing them, but I'm curious how they differ. Does capturing let you use them as a staff member? Grant you intel? Bonus research? what possible benefits are ther for capture an ene...

 
well let's just try force closing the program
see if it had an auto save
 
@AshleyNunn Well, having everyone be bisexual would be just as unbelievable, if not more, so I guess this is a nice happy medium?
 
It auto saves every few turns
 
Okay good
 
user15026
@Yuuki Kinda, I suppose
 
8:04 PM
I think I might just kil this VIP
This mission isn't going well, and the clock is ticking
 
@Yuuki Are all the other characters the same?
 
@Ronan Well, you're picking sides in a war. ~30 characters are exclusive to each version.
Judging from the talk, they essentially play like different games rather versions of one.
 
@Yuuki Okay cool. It's be really weird if it was "choose your favourite token character!"
 
Apparently, you can capture and recruit enemy soldiers, but that's a rumor that I haven't been able to confirm.

Q: How does cover / line of sight work in XCOM 2?

BlueRaja - Danny PflughoeftCover/line-of-sight appears to work slightly differently in XCOM 2. For example, take this situation: In XCOM:EU, my unit would be able to attack the enemy in this situation (see for example this explanation of how LOS works in XCOM:EU, under side-stepping). However, as you can see, she can'...

Q: What determines when research can be completed instantly?

BlueRaja - Danny PflughoeftSometimes after certain research is completed, the game tells me other research can be completed instantly. Which research can be completed instantly, and when? _(so far it's only been autopsies, so my guess is that it has to do with number of corpses? If so, how many?)_ Does it differ by diff...

 
8:11 PM
let's try to capture
in b4 much regret
oh good, the enemies are spawning at the evac point
 
Pegasus riders are (with the exception of the aforementioned possible recruit mechanic) exclusive to Birthright and wyvern riders to Conquest.
 
oh good, there were some more enemis I didn't realize existed
I'm so fucked
 
So there's some class exclusivity too.
 
including a new enemy
man, so fucked
one of them is a new robot enemy
with two armor
I'm not fucked at all
oh I think that's a stun lancer too
SUPER
FUCKED
FUCEKD LEVEL: MAXIMUM
and more enemies
oh well that's one person basically dead
 
If violent aliens ever actually come to invade we are so screwed
 
8:15 PM
knocked out, due to aOP lancers
oh and someone just panicked
sman, fuck this game, seriously
@Ronan is that someone
oh, he just shot someone in the face during the panic
 
The dead someone or the panicked someone?
Ah
 
@Wipqozn Why am I always the panicked one?
 
@Ronan You'vew seen some shit
pretty sure your will is 0
 
@Wipqozn Is that a good number? It sounds like a good number.
 
SUICIDE RUN FOR EVAX POINT
NOPE
@spugs is dead
JEEEESUS THAT ROBOT
AOE attack
MISSION STATUS: FAILED
FUCK TARGET: EVERYTHING

Q: Minecraft pe multiplayer not working

user138334I am trying to go on my sisters minecraft pe world but it stops me and says outdated client and when she tries to come on my world it says outdated sever. I tried to update it (its in 0.13.1) but there is no update available in the google play store. What can I do?

 
@Sterno My word. Magnetic weapons sure do cost money
 
yeeeeeeesss take away
 
Haha, Woman crashes her own funeral after hitmen hired by her husband decline to kill her
Australia!
 
@Sterno OHHHHH building a weapon once just builds it forever. niiiiice
 
8:31 PM
@Wipqozn That's great news, the magnetic stuff looked really expensive
 
@Fluttershy That's just such a bizarre situation to include in the first place. I wonder what the hell they were thinking?
 
well this mission is off to a better start than the last one
 
@twobugs Maybe they wanted to literally have girls who are boys who like boys to be girls who do boys like they're girls who do girls like they're boys
 
I've read that sentence a few times and my brain refuses to parse it
 
8:41 PM
I honestly don't know
1990s were strange
the 1990s produced... me after all
 
Me too. (I was born at the tail end of 89 but I'm basically a 90s kid)
 
heh, July 1989 represent
 
October 1989 :)
 
this is the part where I have to tell you you're basically a kid
 
Damn. I was just made quite the fool
 
8:45 PM
if you don't call me back an old wheezer or something then yes.
 
Well in anime years we're both great grandparents or whatever
 
@twobugs sounds like ancient Rome
 
user15026
Dear people - I get it, your internet is slow or whatever but if you keep calling me once an hour to find out what is going on I am literally never ever going to be able to get to looking at it and getting it fixed because you are calling me all the time and that takes away from my ability to do my work!
 
Stop calling @AshleyNunn or she'll turn this internet around!
 
user15026
Like I know people want their stuff solved, but I'm not a wizard, some stuff takes time!
 
8:50 PM
well thatn went well
 
@Wipqozn Thatn't went well?
I'm doing a lot better at Invisible Inc. this time.
@badp I thought that was a different band. But I'm not sure which one.
 
@Ronan Yes
you're still dead though
I can't bring people back from the dead
@djsmiley2k is up!
 
I didn't realise I'd died.
 
@Wipqozn you aren't even TRYING
 
@Wipqozn :O
 
8:54 PM
@Ronan In tyhe last mission everyone died, including you
 
@Wipqozn At least I died as I lived. Panicking.
 
 
@djsmiley2k Since I'm in-game I have less options to customize you than some of the other folks
 
haha you got glasses :D
 
9:03 PM
@Unionhawk The RichaadEB/Ace Waters one was official too.
 
Yes
 
@Unionhawk Just pointing out it's not that surprising.
 
Well shh
SHHHHHHHHHHH
 
@Unionhawk * okay
 
oh snap, "Terror" mission
 
9:08 PM
In unrelated news, I'm not going skiing today. It's going to be so slushy.
And bare
 
bare skiing sounds like a whole new level of murder
 
It's less murder and more why bother
Like, if you're going to commit murder, don't do it in anything less than 20" base depth
Or anything more than a handful of degrees above freezing
I think I'm spoiled by big mountain murder
God dammit @badp
This is your fault
Clearly, if you didn't think skiing was murder, we wouldn't have global warming
 
if you were in Dubai you could enjoy in-house murder
in the middle of a desert
so much for global warming
 
ON. PLASTIC.
PLASTIC
 
artificial snow is good enough for the alps
 
9:14 PM
Artificial snow is distinct from artificial slopes
 
I dunno if that's the same stuff they use in Dubai
if you tried hard enough you could murder down dunes.
 
Like, I will allow artificial snow on a real hill. But I draw the line at fake hill.
 
Artificial snow is still real snow. But it just didn't come from clouds.
 
like diamonds
 
(technically all slopes are modified therefore artificial) shut up @Unionhawk stop being technically correct
 
9:16 PM
@GnomeSlice Diamonds don't come from clouds.
 
Wait, the UK doesn't have diamond storms like we do?
Man, NA really is the best continent, right @GnomeSlice?
 
@Unionhawk I sure would like the hardest naturally occurring material to be falling on my head right now.
 
@Sterno Holy crap the armor upgrades in this are a lot better than EU. Huge life boost.

Q: Is it possible to make a base that's impenetrable by other players?

Theodoros ChatzigiannakisThis question stems from a discussion I had with some friends. Consider a hypothetical multiplayer vanilla Minecraft server. The landscape is random, not premade or prepared in any way. All players are playing in survival mode. No cheats is allowed. The players don't necessarily want to play as...

Q: Name of the game that you try to carve out more area of a rectangle

Lost in KnowledgeI'm trying to describe this game to my daughter. It's an old game that I played when I was young (circa 1990's). You are a triangle that can move around a rectangle. Bad guys are floating around inside the triangle. You can choose to get out of the rectangle border to carve into the rectangle to ...

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment What about the girls
 
oh a muton
 
@AshleyNunn they have cooties and aren't allowed in that treehouse
 
@Wipqozn Yeah. Magnetic Weapons + Predator armor is awesome
 
user15026
@KevinvanderVelden I don't have cooties!
 
@Sterno Sterno, I answered your question about Alien Alloys
you can also get them as Hack Rewards
 
9:28 PM
@AshleyNunn I'm just the messenger! I'm fairly sure having a hug-gun scares away cooties
 
fuuuck, mutons still have grenades
the jerks
fuck grenades
 
just flashbang them
just flashbang everything
flashbang your own teammates

@skully Seems fine

@AshleyNunn It's british made and owned by a canadian. It comes with free cootie shots.

Q: Reduce Avatar Progress

MattRIs there any way to reduce the avatar progress on a regular basis? I've had 2 missions that reduced it by one pip, but they seemed to be fairly random and part of a dark event. Now I get 3 missions with dark events at a time and none have a reduction.

 
@Unionhawk LOOK UPON MY UNTAPPD FEED AND WEEP.
 
weeps in advance
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'd look but I figure I will just be insanely jealous
 
who's ash and uni
and who's les

Are you actually seeing only 3 characters or something?
 
9:58 PM
yeah it says uni
 
Must be a product of resolution or screen size
 
I see Ron, Kev, Ste and Gno
 
@skully How big is your screen?
