@fredley There's a difference between a reasonable interest in privacy and privacy fetishism. Tor users tend to be among the latter category.

FEichinger

@ken.ganong Yes, but Friday doesn't exist. So clearly there can't be a Friday next to Wednesday.

How Wednesday exists, though, I have no idea.

kalina

we all know that Monday got renamed to Blueday several months ago

since it more accurately represents the world's collective mood on the day formally known as Monday

OrigamiRobot

Friday was cancelled due to a scheduling error.

FEichinger

@kalina So, Blueday's after Sunday then? Or is Blueday between Thursday and Saturday now?

@ColeBusby What are these Xbox and PS3 you speak of?

Powerlord

@SaintWacko I think they're alternate names for the Xbone and PS4.

Cole Busby

Just asking, some of us don't have the money to spend on upgrading our PCs everytime something awesome comes out.

kalina

solution: upgrade your pc like you would if it's a console, PC technology is clearly split into phases, just upgrade after each new major jump forward

SaintWacko

DENIED: EXCUSE NOT ACCEPTED

kalina

even cheap hardware will play pretty much everything these days

and with the price of the new generations of console, the price excuse is no longer valid

Jason Berkan

5:18 PM

@ColeBusby If the games are cross platform, you shouldn't have to upgrade. Just turn down the graphics.

OrigamiRobot

The only reason to own a console is console exclusive games. Like Monster Hunter.

FEichinger

@kalina And the reliability thereof.

Cole Busby

guys I'm not looking to start a war. Just a rationalization that hardware for me is not in a priority. If I want a game I buy the game on a hardware that I don't need to worry about until the next phase. I do have a plan eventually to build a nice gaming system, but its not in the cards at the moment.

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot And that is how I justify buying one of every console.

FEichinger

This whole "I don't have to worry about the hardware" argument doesn't fly that well either.

kalina

nobodies judging you for wanting to play games on a console

OrigamiRobot

Major changes to the stealth system, balancing how much weapons, skills and armors affect your concealment
Rewritten skill descriptions, introducing numeric values in the spirit of Mekonlips' www.pd2skills.info

@OrigamiRobot Numeric values would be FUCKING helpful... and I'd be interested to find out exactly how it affects stealth...

kalina

kalina

OrigamiRobot

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot Yeah they are actually beta testing the updates now so they can announce em, get some play action then release em :D

Ronan Forman

@Unionhawk Well they renamed it to stability.

kalina

@ColeBusby non-MMO multiplayer generally has a short shelf life anyway

Unionhawk

@RonanForman Ah. That works then.

kalina

it's subverted a bit with competitive shooters, but even most of those expire eventually

Cole Busby

@kalina yes, but updates reinvent the game prolonging the shelf life, don't shorten it with mandated class trees.

@ColeBusby the longevity with payday 2 will be from the addition of new heists

That's awesome.

Ronan Forman

@Unionhawk Yeah I mentioned that. I no longer need to not set up a drill just in case.

kalina

@RonanForman yeah there is, it's kinda environmental, you know the downsweep that plays when you take enough damage to lose all of your armour, well there is a corresponding upsweep as it regenerates

it's very subtle and could easily be classified as something else
