Lo @PrivatePansy
 
FAE
@5pike For me, it's not so much graphics that will kill something for me as aesthetic or artstyle.
Which is different from graphical quality, IMO.
 
step through a bajillion-page email setup wizard, get blocked on the last page because their smtp server is down T___T
 
@FAE Yeah, but I also don't damn a game because I don't like its style.
In short: I don't give a damn about eye-candy.
 
FAE
@5pike I definitely won't tell other people they shouldn't play something because I personally don't like something's art style, but aesthetic and artstyle are things, for me, that can pull me out of a game's immersion. For example, I couldn't get into Champions Online because I couldn't get past the game's aesthetic and character design, which I just found personally unappealing.
 
When did it suddenly become 13:37?
Last I checked it was around 11!
 
FAE
12:39 PM
@KevinvanderVelden 2 minutes ago
 
@FAE 2 hours in 2 minutes is pretty damn fast
 
FAE
@KevinvanderVelden Check the clock more often!
 
@FAE Different people have different tastes.
 
@FAE I only check the clock when I'm distracted from work!
By coworkers calling me usually
 
FAE
@5pike Indeeds. :)
Wow, Titanfall's beta app doesn't ask for your system specs or anything
 
12:47 PM
Titanfall looks meh
 
> Titanfall is an upcoming first-person shooter video game developed by Respawn Entertainment. Respawn Entertainment is an American video game development studio founded by Jason West and Vince Zampella, who were formerly responsible for the development of the Call of Duty franchise at Infinity Ward.
 
...and?
 
@KevinvanderVelden Hello
 
Call of Duty
 
FAE
@3ventic I don't know if I'm really interested honestly, but I have friends who are, so I may pick it up for that. Going to at least try out the beta and see how it is. It's not typically my type of game.
 
12:48 PM
BAD
BAD
 
They were making call of duty like 6 years ago
 
Wait a minute... have to check something.
 
Tbh, there are only two problems with call of duty: 1) it's just milking for money (barely any change each year, ~$120 dollars a year + special editions) and 2) Infinity Ward doesn't bother with the PC but releases for the PC anyway
 
and 3) they don't give a damn about the community, but to be fair, who really does?
 
Yeah, well
Some game studios still run weekly (or even many times a week) shows/events for their players
 
1:00 PM
Some game studios don't have droves of idiots buying their games no matter how good they are.
 
 
1:26 PM
I think everyone's biggest draw for Titanfall is just the fact that you get to fight in mecha suits.
If it didn't have that, I don't think anyone would be pay near as much attention.
 
continues completely ignoring Titanfall
 
@Yuki That's the sell for me. <_<
I haven't played a good competitive mech game since Chromehounds, and its servers have been offline for years.
Also, while I hate the trend of yearly CoD releases, I have to give credit to CoD4:MW for changing the way people view competitive console shooters. It was a great multiplayer game, but the community was as toxic as LoL. I worry Titanfall will be the same way, but I'm hoping Zampella can do with Titanfall what he helped do with CoD4.
 
Must...not...delete every post with f****y b*** in it...
 
Though it seems to be unclear whether it was actually the studio or someone impersonating them.
 
@BenBrocka All flappy bird clones/news are on-topic
 
@RedRiderX Man... I wanted to play that game, too. :( But not if the devs are going to be big babies over negative press.
 
1:46 PM
> You avoided 4 DEFINITELY NOT MARIO PIPES. Until dat pipe.
 
@RedRiderX It's not all that easy to get access to Youtube's content ID system as a unique entity, so I'd be pretty surprised if it was impersonation
 
yeh, dat dam pipe
 
@BenBrocka There is also talk of a rouge employee doing it
 
@StrixVaria Nope, it was starred two days ago I think
 
1:47 PM
@Fluttershy Umm, you probably didn't want to play it anyway.
 
@RedRiderX slowclap. Total biscuit even said he would have a field day if that happened =p
 
It's very, very bad
 
@Braiam DAT PIPE.
DAT PIPE
 
@Fluttershy you should watch that video when it's back up, that should cure any desire you have to play it.
 
Smack dat pipe.

1:47 PM
DAT PIPE
 
@StrixVaria slowpoke.jpg
 
@RedRiderX I still would've liked to find out for myself. :P I could have still enjoyed it!
 
@Fluttershy having seen the video... I doubt it.
 
I can understand the developers that it can be a bit hard when you get a video that gets a million views and basically says that under no circumstances should you buy the game...
 
1:49 PM
It seems like at this point he might need some help
It seems like he's lost perspective.
But Internet comments can do that.
Heh TB has two things on the front page today
We can confirm that the copyright strikes which took down the Guise of the Wolf videos did originate from the devs, FUN Creators
Dear @Totalbiscuit fans: please read this: http://steamcommunity.com/app/259640/discussions/0/558746089682249264/ If we want to do it, it was better to do it 3 weeks back,, not now!
So... conflicting info
 
In other news, now you can browse Bad games on Steam... or Garbage games... or Broken games...
 
Don't forget "Hipster Garbage."
 
@StrixVaria The ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ collection
Hand picked by ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
 
That's a weird selection of games.
 
1:57 PM
I own all of those games. <_<
 
I don't have Redshirt.
Also I'm surprised none of the Bit Trip titles are in there
@StrixVaria so 3D Mark is the top selling ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ game
 
@RedRiderX How many times has he quit Reddit now?
 
@Wipqozn Nobody should ever need to quit Reddit. Ideally, by not starting to use Reddit in the first place.
 
@Wipqozn This might be the second or third time
 
@RedRiderX He's done it at least once.
 
2:04 PM
@Wipqozn Indeed
 
@badp That list of Garbage games sure isn't full of fandumb hate at all.
Call of Duty a garbage game?
I'm not a fan, but to tag it as "Garbage" is just ridiculous.
 
@Fluttershy I'm somewhat impressed that nobody but Fez in it
 
@Wipqozn CoD Ghosts is a pretty bad port. Apparently.
 
@5pike I am too, actually...
 
@5pike Fez is in Garbage.... and Choke on it. Whatever that means.
 
2:08 PM
@Wipqozn Thinking about it, there should be some Garbage (and not just "garbage") games. By David Cage, so we get to see Shirley Manson in very little clothing. ;)
 
@badp It's got more than ghosts in it.
Some of the game choices just reek of fanboyish hate.
 
I think the best thing I've seen from Steam tags so far was in the rogue-like tag. It was some DLC for Assassin's Creed VI: Black Flag, and it had the word "rogue" in the name.
 
@badp Not in Garbage for me
 
@5pike page 3
@Wipqozn Gasp! Community systems allowing communities to tag things allow communities to tag things!

Q: Best strategy for a "rush-victory"

MichelWhat I mean by rush victory? Win the game as fast as possible, without wasting any time on side-quests/other objectives. Based on this chart of tech tree we can say that the "order" would be: Start the game Kill an Alien Xeno-Biology TECH Arch Trower TECH Arch Trower WEAP Capture an outside...

Q: Can you miss a Job?

ReafexusMore than a few jobs are part of sub-scenarios. If I finish a Chapter without doing any sub scenarios do I miss those jobs forever (well until NG+)?

 
@GnomeSlice already tagged under Garbage.
 
@badp Clearly the tags are trustworthy.
 
@badp I think I am on the wrong page....
 
"Garbage" "Illuminati" "Gay Abortion" "Indie" "Bullet Hell" "Jews did WTC" "Memes" "Better love story than Twilight" ... "Pay to Win" "mumble: 66.135.59.XXX" "Day 1 Pirate" "port: 4587" "pass: pot"
 
@badp It's also tagged 'Illuminati' and 'Gay Abortion'
 
2:11 PM
@GnomeSlice Is this some kind of joke?
 
@fredley What?
 
@GnomeSlice It looks terrible
 
@fredley Nah, gameplay looks pretty cool.
If you're into shooters.
 
It looks like something from 80s...
 
Whoever thought steam tags was a good idea should get shot
 
2:12 PM
@GnomeSlice I don't like games that seem designed to be as eye-wateringly nauseous as possible
 
@3ventic I think that's the point.
 
@badp Wow, just delete my message I guess
I wasn't advertising shit, but okay
 
That's the best accurate tagging I've seen so far.
 
@Brant please click through to "Browse all" before you share the link
 
2:14 PM
Oh, I thought the hash worked
 
@Brant It just shows the first 6 or so
you would've missed that Cut the Rope is Better than League
or Agricultural Simulator Historical Farming

Q: What does it mean when Spy Callout is wrong?

KernelPanicSometimes when I look directly at a certain class such as a demoman, and press "X-2" the command to say "[class] is a spy!" my character will say the wrong class. Example: Looking at Demoman *Press "X-2" (Spy Callout)"* My character yells "Engineer is spy" (which is the wrong class) Why does t...

 
@badp Yes. I was not expecting quality tagging from a community run systems. The internet is dumb.
 
@Wipqozn Honestly all it really needs is a tag blacklist and a downvote button

Dota 2 was the only game in the Better than League tag when I posted it yesterday.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
NO
 
Tags recommended for you:

Third-person Shooter
Gun Customization
 
2:19 PM
jeez I played loadout for a couple hours that doesn't mean it's all I play ever
 
such physics
 
Loadout broke my computer. Or at least, now it routinely crashes my graphics driver and sometimes causes a full system crash.
 
@GnomeSlice I find it amusing you're saying this after saying my comment the other day flag worthy.
@badp That is a good nice.
 
@GnomeSlice I think Steam tags are an amazing idea.
 
2:25 PM
@StrixVaria good idea, but need some work to filter out the fanboy hate.
 
They may need to be reined in a little, but to be able to search for turn-based RPGs is so useful.
 
Filtering games by 'vagina' is pretty useful, I agree.
3
 
@GnomeSlice This is the stupidest argument against a thing that I've ever heard.
ALL THOSE USEFUL USES? FUCK THOSE. THERE'S ONE STUPID THING HAPPENING SO THE ENTIRE CONCEPT IS STUPID
 
@StrixVaria I'm arguing against them in their current state.
I didn't say the whole concept was stupid.
 
They are already useful if you don't use them like an idiot.
 
2:26 PM
@GnomeSlice Saying who came up with the idea should be shot sounds like you're saying the idea is stupid.
 
Okay.

Q: How to unlock special demon contacts?

kotekzotSome party members can perform unique demon contacts together after performing some specific steps to unlock them. What are all the different unlockable contacts and how do I unlock them?

 
IF they just hired like one intern to look over the new tags for like an hour a day they could easily weed out the troll ones in a reasonably speedy manner. All the abuse will seriously die down after the novelty. Every time they add a new community feature to Steam people rush to troll with it for the first few days
 
@BenBrocka Those people are the worst.
 
2:29 PM
@BenBrocka Those pesky interns.
 
People were raised thinking the Internet was a joke where you don't use your real name and there are no real people at the other end. Now we get to reap the consequences of that
 
Who, the trollers? They are having their fun and not doing any mid- to long-term damage, nor can they.
 
See also: new YouTube comments
 
@MartinSojka It's actively harming people's opinion of the feature, right as they introduce it
 
I wonder what TotalBiscuit will do with comments now that he's given up on Reddit
 
2:31 PM
People are in general pretty bad at long term thinking so that can have a dangerous effect
 
Something totally unrelated: Damn, this drink is so damn sweet, it actually hurts do drink.
 
@BenBrocka The people who think a community feature will work flawlessly the moment it is introduced and before the community as a whole had a chance to get used to it ... Those people? They are idiots.
 
@5pike Welcome to Coke!
 
@badp It's not coke
It's supposedly a multi-fruit drink
 
@MartinSojka People are dumb.
That's really that needs to be said: People are dumb.
 
2:32 PM
 
All people. Everywhere.
 
It also turns out that adding major features takes more than a snap of fingers, so a proper blacklist thing will take a week or so
 
Fine, tags are a good idea
The idea is good.
But it's a shitty thing right now until they clean it up
 
@MartinSojka The trolls are idiots too though. There's multiple problems at work
 
2:35 PM
@BenBrocka I think I've made my decision regarding my phone! While I like the idea of the Nexus, it would force me to switch providers and my phone number. Which I will do if I can't get a reasonable upgrade price for the HTC One. :D
 
@BenBrocka A different kind of idiot though. The guys who think it should and will work the same at start as a year later are simply missing the last few millennia of human society development. They literally refuse to learn from the past. The trolls at least learn, some of the time.
 
I am trapped at home again
 
FAE
@Fluttershy Not that you don't have a terrible provider. :P
 
@OrigamiRobot Snow?
 
2:36 PM
@FAE True.
 
This is going to be so good when it's done, I bet.
 
user15026
@fluttershy I prefer the nexus phones myself, but I did drool over the HTC One.
 
@OrigamiRobot Is this the first time you've ever seen snow?
 
user15026
(not that I can afford to even upgrade right now!)
 
user15026
Also, dear brain yes it is Thursday but our interview is next Thursday so we can stop waking me in a panic okay
 
2:38 PM
@Fluttershy You can keep your number pretty easy with Google Voice. I saw dropping my provider as a plus, went to Straight talk, contract free
No contracts ever, EVER again
 
@BenBrocka So much this
It's not worth it
 
@Wipqozn lol no
 
@GnomeSlice Looks very interesting
 
@3ventic There's already a tech demo you can play, but it's really bare bones.
 
I'm not really into tech demos for open world games
An open world game without the open world... eh
I need to give it a shot if it eventually does come out
 
2:41 PM
Mhh... So far, all the tags for COD: Ghost seem accurate.
 
Does Time Warner throttle Netflix? Since comcast seems to that could mean an acquisition massively increases the number of people throttled

Also, my taskbar seems to be refusing to respond to mouse-clicks.
 
That happens from time to time
 
FAE
@Yuki Is it... frozen?
8
 
2:45 PM
@FAE heh. Not really though, because the Windows button still works.
 
Windows button doesn't exactly do anything with the taskbar..
 
It's especially annoying because it seems I have two or three flashing icons that require administrator permissions, all of which I assume to be Java Auto-Updater.
 
@FAE You're the best.
 
Oh. CTRL+ALT+DELETE and firing up Task Manager fixed it.
 
FAE
@Yuki Sorry, couldn't help it.
 
2:47 PM
@FAE I liked it.
 
@Yuki You're 9 mentions away from mentioning Frozen more than @GnomeSlice has mentioned SykDrift.
3
 
@Wipqozn Oh dear god.
 
So i tihnk Frozen should be @Sterno's childs next name.
 
@Wipqozn It's not a contest.
 
WHAT HAVE I BECOME??!!
 
2:48 PM
Also your mentions of frozen are in a much shorter timespan than @GnomeSlice's skydrift.
So I think your mentions-per-day are higher.
@GnomeSlice It is now.
 
@Wipqozn How many people did @GnomeSlice get/convince to play SkyDrift though?
 
@Yuki He got me to play the demo.
 
I did
 
@Yuki Like 2.
 
But that was before that whole thing started
 
2:49 PM
@Wipqozn You're easily convinced...
 
Re: Steam tags. They should only let certain people add tags.
 
@Yuki It's actually a fun game.
 
And let everyone upvote them or add to their weight or whatever.
 
I'll probably buy it one day.
 
@GnomeSlice With those people being the devs?
 
2:50 PM
@GnomeSlice But how would you decide who can do it and who can't?
 
@RedRiderX Or certain users.
 
@Wipqozn I'm sure it is, but @GnomeSlice got you to play SkyDrift and I got you to watch Frozen (8 more mentions).
 
Eh
 
@Arperum Yeah, that's the thing. I dunno. Reps.
Hey, does anybody here like hack and slash games?
 
@GnomeSlice Because a high steam level isn't necessary linked to quality.
 
2:51 PM
Because this looks pretty boss.
 
@GnomeSlice A bit, yeah.
 
@Arperum Yeah, true.

They should hire us to do tag cleanup

@Unionhawk If they hired us to do tagging then all the games would just be tagged with the name of the game and nothing else.

2:52 PM
@Arperum Can we please find a "candy" fire extinguisher from 1940?
 
@Wipqozn Best tagging scheme ever!
 
> Coming december 2014
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 
@Unionhawk At the very least @kalina.
 
@GnomeSlice 5 days until Banished.
 
@GnomeSlice that looks really cool! reminds me of Bomberman 64
 
2:53 PM
@Mana Yeah! It looks oldschool!
@Wipqozn ;_; I am broke.
Even though like everybody hated it.
@Mana Man I loved that game.
those last 2 messages got sent out of order
 
@Wipqozn Fine, but at least nothing will be tagged with
 
@Unionhawk There will be if that's the name of a game.
 
@badp Is it just me or does that look horribly broad? It might be me being half asleep and forgetting halfway a sentence what the start was.
 
Then that would be an appropriate tag to use in that case only.
 
@Wipqozn Which would sort of defeat the purpose of their tagging in the first place. :P
 
2:54 PM
Luxuria Superbia is actually probably the most appropriate game to use the tag on, but it's still a stupid tag.
 
@Frank SHH
 
@Frank That is part of the joke.
Tonight I should either play Civilization V, Europa Univeraslis IV, or Monster Hunter 3U.
I wish Banished was out.
 
Huh, the Steam version of N.P.P.D Rush is a dollar more than the Desura one.
Chumps.
 
I'd say EU4, even though Paradox has been behaving horribly recently. Still a good game.
 
@Wipqozn Monster thing
 
2:57 PM
Also, I've said Banished 46 times chat.stackexchange.com/…
@MartinSojka Behaving horribly how?
 
@Wipqozn Less than a week!
 
Tonight I should sleep. But I'll probably play minecraft.
 
FAE
@Arperum >_>
 
@Wipqozn Does that mean @Sterno's next child should be banished?

Q: How do you complete the "Phantom Prospect" assignment?

Zero StackIn my battlelog, it shows the assignment called Phantom Prospect. The last requirement I need to complete is listed as a '?'...The How do I completed this?

 
@FAE blame your boyfriend!
 
@Yuki Not quite yet.
 
@Wipqozn They made the recent CK2 patches (everything after 2.01) to include Steamworks, even for those who got it DRM-free.
 
@FAE It was 4AM this morning, and I got out of bed by 9 because work.
 
@MartinSojka That doesn't bother me at all to be honest.
 
FAE
2:59 PM
@Arperum Does he need to start shutting the server off when he goes to bed? :P
 
@Wipqozn Well, it bothers me that I won't get any more bugs fixed.
 
@Yuki It has to be Frozen based on your posting.

Q: How to install Buzz Light Year in Ubuntu?

user247837I want to install Buzz Light Year in Ubuntu but there is only a version for Windows. Can I install it in Ubuntu somehow?

 
@FAE Nah, then @OrigamiRobot and @Unionhawk can't play anymore.
 
@FAE noooooooooohs. He just needs to un-whitelist arperum via cronjob
