The Dwarves (novel)

The Dwarves (German: Die Zwerge) is the first novel in the titular high fantasy series, The Dwarves, by German fantasy author Markus Heitz. The story follows an orphan dwarf by the name of Tungdil Goldhand, raised by humans. The book was originally written in English and German. A video game made by King Art Games was leaked by the German gaming online magazine "Hooked" based on the first book, which will be founded through Kickstarter. The leak has been confirmed by the publisher EuroVideo. == Plot == Tungdil Goldhand, a young blacksmith, is the only dwarf in Ionandar, one of Girdlegard's five...

Somebody is making a game based on this, apparently.

kickstarter.com/projects/kingartgames/…

Sounds like a neat premise. I like Dwarves, they never seem to get enough screen time.

I might donate to this. It looks pretty promising from what little I've seen so far.

Plus they already have several kickstarter successes under their collective belt.

I think I might need to get Stasis. GOD DONUT

Woah, a game not on @GnomeSlice's wishlist

@Sterno Oh is that out now?

Sick

I remember seeing concept art a long time ago and that was like, it.

I finished Until Dawn the other day, and will finish Shadowrun Returns today. That's 2 games in a week. MARK YOUR CALENDARS

Impressive.

@Sterno Until Dawn was too jump-scare happy for me

@sterno is finishing games now? the end times are approaching

2:30 PM

@Amelia Well, that's kind of the genre, so I was expecting that going in. I don't mind them as long as it's not just them.

I actually played it through twice. So in a way, I beat 3 games in a week.

Cthulhu is rising.

@Sterno got the best ending yet? (everyone dies a horrible death)

In the best ending?

Then again, I did just do a fallout 3: murder everything run

to the hungarian stock exchange we go ~

@Amelia No, but I watched a 40 minute video of all the possible deaths. :P

2:32 PM

@Sterno heh

@Sterno Clowns + Gore. That is all.

@Sterno wat

I thought I'd never see the day

or, I suppose, the week.

That's pretty weird.

@GnomeSlice It's an anti-photobomb algorithm. What more could you ask for?

The hungarian stock exchange was a massive disappointment

Let's never go to the hungarian stock exchange again

You... erm, went there for sightseeing?

2:38 PM

Oh jeez I just remembered a rather interesting tidbit that is going to make races really ~~stupid~~ fun @twobugs. Many racecars don't have headlights, they are just stickers, how is night racing going to work in them.

2:39 PM

They're 400 bigger there.

I need an open stock market in a currency the value of which is hundred-fold less (or more) than EUR

The hungarian stock market looked perfect but... nope.

The japanese stock market is closed.

Maybe stuff from south africa?

Dropdown menus that appear when you hover over them but go away when you try to click to open them LIKE EVERY OTHER DROPDOWN MENU are the worst.

Kevin van der Velden

The hell are you doing @badp?

Now it all makes sense

If something is worth 600 whatever but 5 euros, I get to try 5 and 600 and see which works

Which is surprising, given that it was a statement said by @badp that caused it to make sense

unfortunately some markets are too minor to trade directly with

Q: Where's the multiplayer in Clicker Heroes mobile?

On the Google Play Page for Clicker Heroes it talks about multiplayer battles, clans, and the like. I've been playing for a little while (up to high 70s in the floors and getting ready to ascend), but these multiplayer options have not appeared yet. When does multiplayer appear?

Q: Which game distribution store is better to use?

There is many game distribution stores out there, but I personally use Steam. But is Steam the best out there? According to TruePCGaming there are at least 10 more great platforms. Is Steam the best?

@badp South Korean stock market open?

@5pike unlikely, if the Japan one is closed.

The indian one also seemed closed.

2:58 PM

@badp true...

Maybe south africa?

@badp I think the south African rand is something like 1 € to 15 rand

If I wanted currencies that were that close I'd go for the Swiss market

actually nevermind, EUR-CHF is like 1.4-1

@badp I know a guy with direct access to several currency markets

@Amelia but I don't need to use his API.

@KevinvanderVelden It's simple enough, I have an API with some fields and I don't know if they're in EUR or in local currency

It's usually quite easy to tell if something is in Yen or in Euro

One of the things we're working on is a stock trading module

@PrivatePansy Yes, but I get a "stock market is closed" error message

Ah

I might get luckier on the south korean stock exchange with opening times

Q: Armor Loadout Trouble

I just beated plantera but I have no idea what kind of armor I should wear so that I can fight golem. I have mainly magic weapons so should I go with a Mage Loadout or should I make turtle armor instead.

@PrivatePansy It's hard enough to find one that lists the ISIN codes.

None of Google Finance, Bloomberg or Yahoo Finance display ISIN codes.

wait, Yahoo Finance does. In small print

Kevin van der Velden

Heh. I like today's saturday morning breakfast cereal: smbc-comics.com/index.php?id=3847

3:24 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Hahaha

but there's no list of stocks by country

Q: Combine account / Change Account owner

Has anyone found a way to negotiate with Blizzard and have an account combined with another when two "owners" are different? Specific Example: At launch a friend used their card to activate account and thus is known as the "owner" despite of the fact they have never played a character. Both the...

@Chippies Damn, is that firefox 3?

@5pike Idk, might be

not my screenshot

@Chippies I figured as much.

3:39 PM

I only used firefox until Opera went free

that was long ago...

@Chippies Wasn't there a scandal that opera was just a copy of chromium or something?

@5pike scandal? It pretty much is a resking of chromium now, since it uses same engine

I switched to chrome shortly before Opera switched to chromium

@Chippies Scandal might be the wrong word, I guess.

people complaining would probably be the better word :P

I used to be a fan of Opera, but as Chrome got better, there was no reason to stick with it and now it's even worse

Heh, yeah.

3:43 PM

I switched from firefox to Opera the moment I tried it out

and back then I used a pirated version, because the "free" version had ads

paid browsers, that's something unimaginable nowadays

Not on mobile

@5pike When the plans for Opera 15 were revealed, there was much disappointment, but no scandal.

(Also lots of jobs vanished that day.)

user image

I think he's trying to say that exactly 3 jobs vanished that day

3 whole jobs

That's 2 more jobs than I currently have

3:50 PM

I have too much invested in chrome to ever switch now

@badp Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Hmm Google is apparently introducing a new logo...

@TimStone Huh, it's kinda matching the new material design standard

@TimStone woah

Hey guys, google has a new logo!

3:54 PM

Inb4 our Google friends comment on that being public now

@StrixVaria Has probably known for years

@Chippies pcworld.com/article/2875977/…

@GnomeSlice I skimmed over the article, is it not a free browser? I didn't see anything mentioned about that

No, it is. Just thought you might be interested in checking it out.

I'm probably gonna stick with Chrome either way, as I like the cloud stuff

4:05 PM

Well yeah

Chrome is pretty good.

I'm getting really annoyed with how much system resources it takes up though

@GnomeSlice the more ram you have, the more it takes up

which is normal

Here's the official blog post about Google's new logo

I haven't had any issues with memory usage in chrome, other than some memory leaks in some stupid sites

@Chippies Do you have a lot of extensions?

@murgatroid99 the flat look seems very popular nowadays

@GnomeSlice no, just a few and they're small

4:06 PM

@Chippies The logo was also flat before. Now it's just also sans-serif

Oh, there's also a doodle celebrating the new logo

user image

@murgatroid99 I was just looking at it

it looks "more flat" without the serif

@GnomeSlice I can't fit all of mine in a single screenshot :(

You probably have too many meta tabs open

…shhhh

4:08 PM

@TimStone same :(

need a higher resolution monitor

I need to set up my desk at some point. Dammit

user image

biggest memory hogs are on bottom, cut off a few smallest ones at the top

Which means I need to rebunk the bunk room (I'm in a tiny double that only works as a bunk, and the previous residents unbunked it)

That's the worst

@murgatroid99 That gif is mesmerizing

I can't stop staring at it

4:11 PM

@TimStone Yeah, and on top of that, my room was the designated "throw all your stuff you don't want to move out" room

So there's at least 4 more boxes we need to go through apparently

user image

@fredley Shh.

That gif?

Screw that noise

Super slick.

I wonder if I could do that

4:14 PM

At least we have our couch and such, and other people to plan awesome things (we're having Oktoberfest at our house, so apparently we have 12 feet of sausage prepared for such activities, and I didn't even have to do anything)

@Unionhawk you're doing the Oktoberfest parade

The Oktoberfest parade being just you

@UNIONHAWK CAN'T WAIT TO CONSUME 12 FEET OF SAUSAGE: DATA ACCEPTED

@badp No, apparently the goal is to push occupancy limits

user image

Gah, that tilted 'e'.

4:18 PM

2015 Oktoberfest Parade, with the singer as Unionhawk, the dancer as Unionhawk, the dressed up dudes as Unionhawk, the barely dressed drunkens fumbling on tables as Unionhawk and the colourful wagons as Unionhawk

@Yuuki The old logo had a tilted 'e' too

@murgatroid99 To be fair, I don't see the logo very often.

@badp Don't forgot the beer maids who are also Unionhawk.

@Yuuki They said it's suppose to be a reminder that Google will always remain a different type of company, or something

Also, what kind of horrible person starts their 'o' at the nine o' clock position?

@Yuuki also Unionhawk: the Oktoberfest rides (yes there are rides at Oktoberfest)

4:21 PM

@Yuuki It's suppose to be a slanted o :P

@badp Man, Oktoberfest just sounds better and better. Shame about that whole Uni thing

Two o' clock or go home, you soulless monsters.

I hate all of you

I was going to invite @badp to these festivities, but screw that guy

user image

@Unionhawk Yeah, he probably starts his 'o' at the nine o' clock position. Disgusting.

4:24 PM

This is to punish you all for something or other.

So I guess that Kentucky clerk is still being a stick in the mud. This being national news beyond "look at how ridiculous this person is" is sad.

@Unionhawk that's nice of you but II am afraid I can't be there

I was at Oktoberfest last year and I can authoritatively say it's grossly overrated

Why do you need to wait for October to have beer anyway?

@Sterno I hate you

@Sterno this brings me unshareable memories

@twobugs can I hate @Sterno too?

cc @Wipqozn because he loves jokes that are terrible

@Unionhawk I'll allow it

4:27 PM

Wow, I got all the way through the App submission process without combusting into a fit of rage!

@fredley you're becoming a cog in the system

@Sterno I wish I had this image from before

Not this image, I mean there's an image making a different direction of this

That was from before.

@badp You're grossly overrated

Ooo

@badp Even when my provisioning profile was stale, I managed to generate a new one without throwing my chair through my screen!

Huh, that Deadpool game is getting a PS4/Xbox One edition

4:31 PM

Being overrated is my thing

I'm pretty good at it

@fredley you have seen The Man, and you asked him out.

Okay, this is a good clickbait ad.

My current keyboard doesn't have a menu key and it occasionally drives me mad

So I'm watching this training at work about "red flags for suspicious activity" and all I can think about is hurrdurrflags.gif

Apple's keyboard layouts and combinations in particular are the worstest

MODS CAN CHANGE USERNAMES?!

Kevin van der Velden

Yes.

What's this? The opposite of mod abuse?

when does the mod abuse stop

@GodEmperorDune Well then that's nowhere near mod abuse, is it?

4:45 PM

@GodEmperorDune No, this is just desired mod abuse

@GodEmperorDune Mod use

mod use abuse

Guys. I just beat Galactic Keep for iOS. THAT'S ANOTHER GAME COMPLETED THIS WEEK

@MBraedley thanks for the clarification, it makes sense now

brb, switching all your names around

@Sterno you are ruining the balance of the universe, I hope you are aware of this

@GodEmperorDune I mean, some people are into that type of thing.

@Rapitor @fredley is immune to safewords

@fredley is the new @spugsley

@blartmemes ...no. No I'm not...

@blartmemes no, the pls does not make a @spugsley

the pls distresses the spugsley

I thought it was the dolan that did that

@Rapitor I think you're asking to have your name swapped with @blartmemes

Are you asking for that? It can be done.

dinosaurs do not make good mall cops

4:50 PM

@Rapitor Give me around 10-20 minutes in Paint.NET and I can make wonders.

Look on the flip side instead

Mall Cops could make great dinosaurs

Q: Witcher 3 FOV cheat engine?

I have never used cheat engine before I couldn't find any actual good tutorials explaining how to use it. Can someone explain to me how to use cheat engine to change witcher 3's FOV?

@Sterno This sounds like a job to fix with... A LIST

4:51 PM

Fine, I guess I'll change @Rapitor's name if no one else will.

@Rapitor I can't find any "blart memes" so I dunno about the swap anymore but I can still change yours to that

How does that sound? Good, ja?

I'm having flashbacks to a time when almost everyone changed their name at around the same time.

na

Oh, that was the QA thing.

I'm going to assume that's dinosaur for yes

@StrixVaria yep

4:53 PM

it is not

@Rapitor @badp I recognize this as dinosaur for "you're right"

What's this? @RapitorMemes?

4:54 PM

@blartmemes What did we just agree to?

QAdp wasn't one of my best ideas but you've gotta work with what you've got

@blartmemes no, some jokes are better in text

@StrixVaria Oh. Right.

@badp Oh man I forgot about that

4:54 PM

@GodEmperorDune Some jokes are better off not existing

(inb4 baQA)

@blartmemes If you don't keep your promise I'm going to change your name to "paul blart <3"

@StrixVaria fuck that

Besides, I made something else right now.

@badp That just makes you sound too anime.

@GraceNote should've gone all in. ArQAdp

4:55 PM

@fredley This says otherwise.

It's a shame we couldn't have ArQA Xi

@GraceNote Given his recent choice of games that wouldn't actually surprise me

@AshleyNunn why the sad. sad is unallowed

@GraceNote hence the inb4. (Is baka actually just an anime thing?)

@badp It's a Japanese thing

The language, not the culture

4:56 PM

@badp It's a general purpose thing, but as long as I'm sitting in the primarily western sphere of things, "anime" as an adjective is the best way to call it.

I mean, people call all my avatars anime, for example.

@PrivatePansy I still had to Google for "anta baka" when Cherry Tree High threw that at me so my anime level is still quite low

It's a common enough word for a lot of uses, there just happens to be various typical expressions which are even more typically observed by this hemisphere in that medium than acknowledging that, well, it's actually a thing.

@PrivatePansy Also I'm like, at least some degree to blame for this. Maybe not for its beginning but I'm definitely an enabler and an encourager, natch.

(Saved you a Google: "you're stupid")

@GraceNote You are. You introduced me to Unsounded. I'm still hooked

@GraceNote it's just how relentlessly cheerful those games are. It gets to me

4:59 PM

@PrivatePansy I love the line Toma ended one of the recent pages with.
