3:00 PM

As for stats, I've always been under the impression that the share effect is minimal.

Ben Brocka

I forget if any quests still have Eden listed on there or not

fredley

@OrigamiRobot A better experience

Grace Note

They stuck around.

fredley

More fillings, more excitement. Also a smaller, more portable form factor.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote wonder if I could remove all shares except Eden's just for fun

OrigamiRobot

3:03 PM

@fredley What kind of giant chocolates do you have over there?

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Chocolate comes in bars:

One of those is alot of chocolate

Sconibulus

Cadbury is the tastiest

OrigamiRobot

How is that less portable?

fredley

Obviously stopping half way through is not an option

@OrigamiRobot It's not! Hence I eat bars

fbueckert

@fredley Love these chocolate bars.

fredley

3:05 PM

@fbueckert Yes but I can't not eat a whole one

@OrigamiRobot Also: American chocolate is vile bitter stuff.

fbueckert

@fredley Neither. Happily, I run off sugar, so it does nothing to me.

fredley

@fbueckert It doesn't do anything noticeable to me, which is scary. I'm afraid one day all the badness will hit at once and I'll die

OrigamiRobot

@fredley I like dark chocolate, so I don't really know what to tell you here.

Sconibulus

@fredley You're thinking Mexican chocolate, American isn't vile and bitter, it just doesn't taste like a whole lot

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Hersheys is awful

Sconibulus

3:07 PM

Dark chocolate is kinda bitter

fredley

@Sconibulus Good dark chocolate is one thing

Hershey's is quite another

OrigamiRobot

@fredley I'm not really a chocolate eater.

fredley

Vomit inducing:

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote so how do you do 6 digits of damage with PEashy? Were you talking EX or SP skill?

fredley

9 mins ago, by OrigamiRobot

@fredley If I want chocolate, I'll just eat chocolate.

Ben Brocka

3:08 PM

Note to self: replace entire foundation of @fredley's house with Hersey's Kisses

OrigamiRobot

@fredley Right, if I want chocolate.

fbueckert

@fredley Milk chocolate is awesome.

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Right now, I can do it with Guard Strike, but originally it was just with Hard Break Kick.

fredley

@fbueckert Yes. Dairy Milk.

@BenBrocka :(

OrigamiRobot

@fredley If I'm going out of my way to get chocolate, it's either dark chocolate, Reeses, or Riesens.

fbueckert

3:09 PM

@fredley Or Lindor's. Expensive, but oh, so good.

fredley

@fbueckert Oh God yes

When I am a millionaire, I will bathe in Lindor

Grace Note

Which, there's a certain satisfaction to winding up, and landing a solid roundhouse kick to someone's face, which not only deals 150000 damage but also plays the "Quest Complete!" music right at the time of impact, and only fades away shortly after the pose and the explosion.

OrigamiRobot

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

fbueckert

@fredley A bulk store had a massive discount on them a few years ago. Bought SO MANY.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote Do you buff or anything? I'm not sure I do that much yet. I didn't craft her best non-ultimate weapon though

penultimate weapon I guess

Grace Note

3:12 PM

@BenBrocka This was back with, like, Mr. Cat Puppet.

But yes, I buff.

I have the paid verson of draw something and have been playing it for a while. Today I went to play two games I had and was prompted to sign in via facebook or use an email.

draw-something

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote Oh, don't usually use those. Do they stack or anything?

Nepgear and Rom seem to have decent "buff all the things" skills

@GrumpyLazers Sooo...what're we supposed to do about the whole thing where the minecraft wiki has incompatible licensing with SE? Because the info is right there on the wiki, and it's factual, so it seems really stupid to not repeat facts which the wiki can't own because of the license.

fbueckert

The 3DS Harvest Moon is headed to Europe this fall. I'm surprised they didn't have it yet.

Ben Brocka

Everyone knows Europeans don't buy video games

Grace Note

@BenBrocka I believe all stat ups are just a fixed bonus, no matter whose skill it is.

So there's no stacking multiple buffs.

Ben Brocka

3:17 PM

though in Natsume's case they probably just didn't have the translations before now

@GraceNote I'll have to try it. I do like Yellow Heart's massive numbers

fbueckert

@BenBrocka That's like a solid year to do translations.

Grace Note

At your point, you should actually be able to have little Peashy just Dropkick someone for 6 digits, which in itself is also very satisfying.

fbueckert

Or more, depending on which language they did the translating from.

@GraceNote She probably can...the buff to str must be more significant than I realized/imagined

Did you ever get all of your voice clips?

Grace Note

Still working on it.

Basically, objectives are: Max out Uni entirely, then Nepgear, then get voices for others.

Might max out Noire too.

fredley

@LessPop_MoreFizz @Brant Post all your findings and squees in there so I don't miss it!

FEichinger

3:38 PM

@OrigamiRobot Oh, you!

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote Are they even that useful? I've noticed lower damage output from them compared to say Noire and Neptune

OrigamiRobot

@FEichinger ?

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot You're making me want to buy a bag of those.

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Pff.

OrigamiRobot

@FEichinger That's what you should want. They're delicious.

FEichinger

3:42 PM

@OrigamiRobot I know, and I can get them just across the street. :P

Grace Note

Nepgear and Uni have two distinct things of being both very handy in the front lines and being superb support characters.

OrigamiRobot

@FEichinger You know what you must do.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote Also I played the "rejection" clip for Peashy (not knowing what that was supposed to mean) and facepalmed so hard I hurt something

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Is she your first rejection?

Ben Brocka

I have no idea which challenge unlocks that

I just haven't been going in the voice clip section

FEichinger

3:44 PM

@OrigamiRobot But I'm lazy as fuck.

Grace Note

I can't remember off the top of my head. Just that I know it's one of the easy ones.

And it's one of the best. Seriously. Go get it for everyone. Plutia and Nepgear are the best.

OrigamiRobot

@FEichinger Do not defy the Riesens.

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot Actually, that's plural already. It's German for "giants".

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote I probably have it then

Peashy's only ahead of the candidates for most challenges

Grace Note

Lessee... maybe it was 3 second rule?

Ben Brocka

3:49 PM

Oh, I Was planning on farming that anyway since I need a BILLION purple pigments

and planeptune alley is super easy for farm 4 pickups in like 10 seconds

Grace Note

Or maybe it was Victory Pose?

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote that is less easy to farm. But Plutia almost surely has it

Grace Note

Yeah, I think it's Victory Pose.

You just need 80.

Marathon Runner is taking sooo long.

Ben Brocka

I might have that then

except for Rom and Ram who I've barely used

marathon runner is BS

Grace Note

Hah. "I Love Gravity" had a much, much different name in JP.

Ben Brocka

3:54 PM

I hate the ones where if you've played with that character THE WHOLE GAME you're still less than half of the way there

except the stuff like taking/healing damage which is easier after the main game

@GraceNote I'm sure I can guess

badp

Another year, another generation of people completely confused by me on everything LaTeX

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Do you happen to know where I can find some good Mistborn fanart?

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Fanart? Nope.

Not usually something I go looking for.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I'm trying to find a good image for a custom MtG thing, and a kandra would be perfect.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot A Kandra is essentially an amorphous blob with a couple metal things inside it.

OrigamiRobot

4:09 PM

Yep.

fbueckert

More or less a gelatinous cube.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Alt art for this:

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot From... any graveyard?

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote Yep

fbueckert

@GraceNote That's how Kandra work; kill something, and absorb it to build muscle tissue from learning how it's put together.

Martin Sojka

4:11 PM

Damn stupid colour combo though unless you have a bunch of overpowered "give me mana of any colour" trinkets anyway.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert And that's exactly what that card does. A match made in heaven.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot It doesn't copy abilities, so that is perfect.

ManishEarth

@kalina Oy, Y U FLOOD Movies & TV?

Grace Note

@MartinSojka Could probably work fine in my rainbow deck, thematic concerns aside.

fbueckert

Kandra can't duplicate metalburning.

kalina

4:12 PM

@ManishEarth ask in here about my front page destruction skills

I am not flooding, I am fixing

fredley

@ManishEarth From here it looks like @kalina and @TylerShads are the only two people on that site

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Well, it does, but that's looking farther into than is needed. A rendition of a kandra would be perfect.

ManishEarth

@kalina Dunno about Movies, but in general if you're mass-fixing limit yourself to 5 a day

kalina

@ManishEarth negative, movies & tv is a very low updates site

if I make 5 edits, they'll stay on the front page for a week

TylerShads

@fredley What did I do?

kalina

4:14 PM

therefore, 5 a day will still result in a "flood" effect

TylerShads

HELP HELP IM BEING OPPRESSED

kalina

FORTUNATELY

because I am brilliant

I am doing the updates in REVERSE ORDER

so once I'm finished, the new stuff will be on the front page

fredley

@kalina Still a flood

kalina

@fredley I didn't care when I had 5+ people in here whining at me about doing it to Arqade

what makes you think anything changed?

fredley

@kalina I know. I still reserve the right to whine

fbueckert

@fredley That's...sorta creepy.

No offense, @kalina

fredley

@fbueckert Anything new to report?

Sterno

but it seems to me like it's mostly poke-the-plothole and make-shit-up-in-my-answers

fbueckert

@fredley What am I reporting on?

kalina

4:18 PM

@Sterno actually, meta discussing the death of plot-inconsistency atm

fredley

@fbueckert I'm making the point that nothing is new or notable and that you're boring

Sterno

@kalina But then they'll be down to 1 update a week

fbueckert

I'm lost. Why did I get pulled into this conversation?

kalina

@Sterno no, that would only happen if they got rid of identify-this-thing

I don't think the coolness factor of things is additive.

Ullallulloo

4:49 PM

@Sterno What's that?

fbueckert

So apparently our government mandated monopolized vehicle insurance firm will not cover damage caused by potholes. Because it's up to the driver to avoid them and not cause further damage to the vehicle.

Q: Are Minecraft questions about an unreleased feature too localized?

Minecraft releases weekly snapshots, which allow players to view upcoming features pretty much as the developers develop them. Since anyone can get their hands on these, they are not considered speculative. However, since they are not considered "released" these features often change, leading to ...

@AshleyNunn Ha, Canada.

But no, that sucks.

@Ullallulloo This is more a Manitoba thing.

Ullallulloo

@fbueckert Still part of Canada.

fbueckert

4:59 PM

Our roads absolutely suck, and nobody's willing to take responsibility for them, but they'll tax us out the wazoo to "fix" them.

kalina

@fbueckert this is pretty universal

fbueckert

We're getting a 1% tax increase at the beginning of July. It's supposed to be for fixing the roads, but I sincerely doubt it will be spent that way.

kalina

over here, some local councils won't fix a road until they've been approached due to damaging somebody's car through terrible road maintenance

fbueckert

@kalina Who pays for repairing the car, though?

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Gas is about $0.25 cheaper in SC than NC and it shows in the roads. They're awful.

kalina

5:02 PM

likely the council's insurer

but if not then the council themselves

fbueckert

@kalina Yeah, at least it's not the driver paying for it.

kalina

well the driver does pay for it

it's not a "quick" process

ragnarok-online-2

fbueckert

@kalina In the event the driver doesn't have insurance, that definitely makes sense.

kalina

insurance is a requirement, not an option

fbueckert

5:04 PM

@kalina Ok, that's the same here in Manitoba, then.

kalina

if the driver doesn't have insurance, they've got more problems than a broken car

fbueckert

Do you have a government mandated monopoly?

kalina

on insurance?

our insurance companies are all private companies

we get taxed multiple times on cars though

fbueckert

@kalina Ok, so you have choices.

kalina

road tax to put the car on the road

~50% tax on all fuels

fbueckert

5:05 PM

We have a single government entity that we have to use.

And since there's no competition, their customer services sucks, and they make no effort to lower rates.

kalina

many insurance companies will do everything they can to get out of paying

fbueckert

@kalina That's par for the course. They can't be too obvious about it, though, or people will just go to another firm.

There are no other choices for us here.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot I have sour skittles

I would say lack of choice is bad value

but private companies pandering to shareholders is generally worse value

fbueckert

@kalina At least there would be choice, though.

kalina

getting screwed by big companies feels the same regardless of how much choice there is

fbueckert

5:12 PM

@kalina I concur. But if a big company screws you over, you can take your business elsewhere.

OrigamiRobot

@kalina I've already eaten a bag today.

What's you favorite color?

@fbueckert "I'm sick of being screwed by you, I'm going to find somebody else to screw me"

fbueckert

@kalina Enough lost business will change something.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Potentially changing whether or not they're in business anymore.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Exactly.

If an insurance company gains a reputation as hard to deal with and rarely pays out claims, they won't be in business for very long.

FreshPrinceOfSO

@fbueckert No context needed. Not spam or offensive.

fbueckert

@FreshPrinceOfSO I agree it wasn't flag-worthy. In the strict sense, though, people could see that as offensive.

kalina

history lessons can be offensive

badp

@fre I honestly can see how that could be offensive to some people, regardless of historical accuracy

fbueckert

I'm pointing out that there's lots of history that goes on here, and we're not fans of others jumping in here to tell us to stop flagging stuff.

FreshPrinceOfSO

5:55 PM

@badp Nothing offensive about a fact.

SaintWacko

@FreshPrinceOfSO I don't find it offensive, but some people could

FreshPrinceOfSO

@fbueckert Then they're morons

kalina

I'm going to back @FreshPrinceOfSO on account of him stopping me from being banned for stating the truth

fbueckert

@FreshPrinceOfSO And we're done.

Leave, please.

SaintWacko

@FreshPrinceOfSO Wow

@fbueckert I'll second that

OrigamiRobot

5:56 PM

@FreshPrinceOfSO Oh, there are lots of facts that are offensive.

FreshPrinceOfSO

Read a history book

badp

@fre so if i told you "you're a moron" I could claim it's not offensive because it's a fact?

Sconibulus

there are lots of unreliable sources in the world

badp

Bah. I think it's a rubbish way to handle offensive flags

kalina

@SaintWacko yeah but he invalidated the flag from whichever special snowflake can't handle the truth

I don't agree with the name calling though

OrigamiRobot

We can and have lectured people about flags on our own

Native Americans in the United States

Native Americans in the United States are the indigenous peoples in North America within the boundaries of the present-day continental United States, Alaska, and the island state of Hawaii. They are composed of numerous, distinct Native American tribes and ethnic groups, many of which survive as intact political communities. The terms used to refer to Native Americans have been controversial.

Let's talk about setting something on fire.

SaintWacko

@fbueckert Fire is awesome

I feel the need to burn something.

Screams are optional.

@kalina Ah, okay, I didn't realize markup had a canceling character

kalina

@OrigamiRobot it's not so much an interest as it is a way of life

fbueckert

@kalina Default state is setting people on fire?

kalina

yes, it's less of a case of me setting people on fire and more of a case of me not setting people on fire

periodically, everybody will get set on fire, unless I like them during the window of fire setting

fbueckert

@kalina So what happens when you get really mad?

kalina

I can't set fire to people at work, I will lose my job

instead I will make all of the SQL scripts I have to provide them throughout the day look like they worked but actually not

Powerlord

@SaintWacko I also need to poke Amazon with a hot iron and remind them that me ordering something on Thursday and them delivering it on Tuesday is longer than 2 days.

@fbueckert Yup.

@FEichinger I really liked it when it was what it was when it started but I liked it less as time went on. and a lot of the new G&S stuff isnt grabbing me

> For example, I could consider a player rare for having an enormous ball control

Does that mean he can control enormous balls?

@Powerlord Business days. And if you order it too late in the day, it's like you ordered it the next day

Amazon tells you whether you've ordered it too late for it to ship that day

Ooh! Tales of Symphonia and it's sequel are getting re-released for PS3!

user15026

@fbueckert I liked Symphonia. Didn't know it had a sequel.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Wii exclusive.

I own them both, but haven't found my Gamecube controller, so it's sorta hard to play.

user15026

@fbueckert Which then surprises me extra that I never played the sequel

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Dawn of the New World, I believe it's called.

I have a soft spot for Tales games; they're just so much fun.

That, and they have strange, crazy characters that are hilarious.

@TrentHawkins loved Pascal.

I'm so excited for New Leaf.

@badp huh?

@AshleyNunn the sequel is pretty lame IMO

user15026

@Wipqozn neeeergh

@BenBrocka That's what I get when I click on the "1 new comment" notification

Ben Brocka

I didn't get super far in it. The original is one of my favorites and I need to buy a copy...I jsut borrowed it from a friend

user15026

@BenBrocka Good to know

Ben Brocka

@badp Oh, I didn't notice the error

fbueckert

@Wipqozn You have Monster Hunter. And Harvest Moon.

For that matter, so do I; I shouldn't be playing new games!

Q: Titles should be stand-alone summaries of questions *without* depending on tags

Titles should be completely independent of tags. A good title tells an expert whether they want to read the full question all by itself. I know this has come up multiple times before, before, but in each case, the discussion has seemed to have turned into a different question. For example, ...

discussion tags title

This is probably on its way over to Arqade in a variety of fashions, but I thought I'd give people a head's up.

fbueckert

@GraceNote So a fast read says, "Don't cram it in to make sure it's there, but if it's in there organically, awesome."

@fbueckert Which is what a lot of us at Arqade have already been saying, yes.

fbueckert

@GraceNote That was the point I was trying to make, yes.

user15026

@Wipqozn sigh

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote So does this mean I shouldn't ask questions like "Why are my boobs suddenly so big" without context?

We've got lots of work ahead of us to ensure titles are understandable, but going forward, we can make sure they are done so.

Powerlord

@GraceNote So, we're now requiring game names be in question titles?

user15026

6:58 PM

@Powerlord If it isn't immediately identifiable, apparently so

user15026

Which is....kinda okay, but now that I think about it more, it means that SO many of our questions need new titles

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn We had a phase for awhile that was meant to rely on tags for SEO. Misunderstood, as it turns out, but them's the breaks.

Grace Note

@BenBrocka I'd say the problem is more on the awkward phrasing there, but yeah, sortakindawhathowsa.
