2:02 PM
Maybe after I finish STyx I'll play a game of Age of wonders 3.
 
YOU SHOULD PLAY EU4 AGAIN
 
Yep, Heroville has bored me again
 
WE SHOULD PLAY EU4 TOGETHER
 
Dwarf Fortress is best incremental.
 
Heroville feels unfinished.
I'll be all over it again when it gets patched.
 
2:06 PM
An incremental roguelike would be money in the bank.
 
@StrixVaria Just a bit. Definitely not a 1.0
 
@Sterno very yes
 
I thought I just grabbed one image, rolling with it
 
@OrigamiRobot I should, actually. Maybe when all the DLC goes in sale next I'll buy it all and play it.
 
WHAT IS THE DLC?
 
2:08 PM
@Unionhawk So old it's practically prehistoric
 
@fredley Probably
Oh wow yeah
 
~or rewrite history, DuckTales woooo~
 
(I'm still not sure how to spell that last word)
 
Damn too late to edit to say "2 YEARS AGO THANKS REDDIT"
 
2:10 PM
@OrigamiRobot There's a few expansions and various skin packs I believe.
 
@Wipqozn I MEANT WHAT IS IN THE DLC?
JUST MORE COUNTRIES?
 
@fredley Can we get a synonymization -> or sommat?
 
I can't remember off the top of my head. They always release some of the expansion pack stuff for free as a patch when it launches.
 
@Unionhawk yarp
If it's within char limit
 
It is
Barely
25 chars
Already retagged, but the first one has a tag wiki >_>
 
2:13 PM
Conquest of Paradise is the first expansion pack of EU4 which adds more native American nations, and a Random World generator which randomized the landscape of North and South America. It was released on 11 January 2014.[8]
Wealth of Nations is the second expansion pack for EU4 which adds significant improvements to trade and merchant republics, as well as a large balance patch. It was released 29 May 2014.[9][10]
Res Publica is the third expansion pack for EU4 which adds new improvements to governance and trade, while over hauling some events. It was released 16 July 2014.[11]
cc @OrigamiRobot
 
@Unionhawk And a tag wiki that does not follow the tag wiki guidelines.
 
Oh god, which is 'target' and which is 'source'?
@badp @AshleyNunn?
@StrixVaria?
 
@Arperum Who approved that!?
 
There's no reason to abbreviate, it's within charlimit
 
@fredley I.. I can't even guess. Both ways make sense.
 
2:14 PM
It might be kinda sorta a spiritual successor, but not really.
 
Also that tag wiki excerpt is pretty unhelpful, now that you mention it
 
@Arperum Yeah, I see that.
 
@Wipqozn I guessed.....correctly!
 
@fredley Just remember, if you get it wrong, the answer to mod abuse is more mod abuse.
 
2:15 PM
@Frank Having that option is always good
 
@fredley: Can you merge @Sterno into @ReginoldS.Terno?
 
Sterno has removed Wipqozn from the list of this room's owners.
6
 
@Wipqozn I HOPE BY "IMPROVEMENTS" THEY MEAN "SIMPLIFIED"
 
@Wipqozn I can merge badp into badp to make double badp
 
@OrigamiRobot No opinions allowed.
 
2:16 PM
I believe they mean the opposite of that.
@StackExchange My word.
 
@Wipqozn AND BY "SIMPLIFIED" I MEAN "MADE INTUITIVE"
TRADING WAS SO CONFUSING
 
Wait who's the monster who pinned TPClickerHeroes? checks ah
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh. I think they did change trading completely.
 
@fredley The best way to use mod powers is randomly.
 
@StrixVaria This sounds highly scriptable
 
2:20 PM
 
@Unionhawk That's great

TOLDBOND
 
THE BRAVE AND THE TOLD
 
@Unionhawk fantastic
 
I have no idea what's going on in here today
definitely friday
 
I remember one where some jackass who was fired from Reddit decided it would be a good idea to do an AMA
 
It's Friday?!
I thought it was Thursday.
 
2:28 PM
WIPTOLD

Suddenly, today seems better.
 
@Koviko it's almost hometime even :D
 
@OrigamittToldbot
 
@Rapitold
 
@SternTold
 
2:29 PM
So the CEO was like "dude pls, you were fired because reasons. Not "let go" because no good reason."
 
@Koviko yes.
 
@toldp
 
@Kovitold
 
WHY IS @Wipqozn RUINING THIS?
2
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't think he gets it.
 
2:29 PM
@OrigamiRobot C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER
 
@OrigamiRobot Because I'm a ruiner.
 
@Koviko Nope, definitely Friday.
Thursdays tend to be my work day from hell, so....
 
YOU ARE A RUINER OF LOVE
 
Thanks
 
@OrigamiRobot *Lover of ruin
 
2:30 PM
@Wipqozn is literally the worst, again.
 
@Batophobia NO
2
 
@Wipqozn status: 1001mH
 
IF ANYONE HASN'T SEEN DAN IN REAL LIFE, YOU SHOULD BECAUSE I SAY SO
 
You should probably teach me a lesson by deleting all of your accounts.
 
@StrixVaria GOLF CLAP
 
2:31 PM
@Batophobia link
 
@Wipqozn IN PROGRESS
 
There is no Dan, only Zool.
 
and yes I just linked to a timestamp in a 5sf. deal with it.
 
@OrigamiRobot You should delete all of your accounts except for your SFF one.
 
@Unionhawk For making me laugh, I will not link to any incremental games today.
 
2:34 PM
@StrixVaria is there even any you havent played
 
Probably
 
UH OH, I'M GETTING THE URGE TO PLAY FTB AGAIN...
 
Everyone and their mom is making an incremental these days
 
@StrixVaria HAVE YOU DONE ANY MORE WITH YOUR PROTOTYPE?
 
@OrigamiRobot No because @DwarfSlice gave me Dustforce which is really good and eats up what little free time I have.
 
2:35 PM
we (by we I mean not me) should make a Bridge Chat themed inc game. or a bridge one. i like bridges
 
WHAT A MONSTER
 
@OrigamiRobot there's a new direwolf20 pack coming out... whenever soon prob, I may be setting up a server
 
@KevinvanderVelden I wish I had a machine to play MC on :(
I wish i had time to play MC :(

Q: Should I separate my poultry into separate pens?

mkaitoI've seen this done in many tutorial videos, but I'd like to know if this makes a difference. Should I put each species of poultry (chickens, turkeys, geese, etc) into separate pens, or does one large pen for all of them suffice?

 
@Lazers Related: Should I keep all my eggs in one basket?
 
@KevinvanderVelden THAT HAS POWERSUITS, RIGHT?
 
@OrigamiRobot yes it does, from what I've seen people streaming the test version
 
@Arperum I heard a song by "Demon Hunter" on the radio this morning, and it was pretty cool. Do you know that band?
 
@KevinvanderVelden THAT IS MY ONLY HARD REQUIREMENT
 
2:39 PM
dammit, they changed the tag wiki reject reasons too
 
@OrigamiRobot heh nice, I might be adding one or two mods so even if it's not in it =p
 
Oct 12 at 15:14, by Unionhawk
why you do this to me shog9
 
made me lol
 
@OrigamiRobot Powersuits is in basically every modpack now.
 
ARG!!! I hate the timesheet provider we use! I did not enter negative hours last week. I simply moved the existing hours there to a different charge code. Because A) I fucked up and charged to the wrong code unintentionally, and B) didn't know I was supposed to use a different code in another instance.
 
2:42 PM
I JUST REMEMBERED HOW CONVENIENT THE CRAFT/STORAGE SYSTEM @Unionhawk DID WAS
 
@Rapitor Not every
 
THE FACT THAT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THAT IS DISCOURAGING ME
 
Oh gods that was so messy
 
@OrigamiRobot logistics pipes?
 
SHRUG
 
2:43 PM
@Rapitor At first, then it became a hybrid monstrosity
 
@Unionhawk sounds about right for any sorting/storage system I would make too...
 
@StrixVaria Nope. Remind me in half an hour please, leaving work right now.
 
It's hard to make AE messy
 
In case there was still any doubt, game bundles are terrible for developers.
cc @BenBrocka
 
@Unionhawk it's not in 1.7
 
2:45 PM
Eh
 
@DwarfSlice THE FOREST IS ON SALE, FYI
 
I guess
But it's never truly the mess that pipes can become
 
AE became something you'd actually have to think about to make big. Of course, this means you can mess it up as well
@Unionhawk heh true, pipes are really messy =p
 
Pipes can be annoying
 
I kind of stopped playing before AE was released. So I don't know how to use it at all. my systems were pretty much logistics pipes and/or redpower and/or many golems(most fun)
 
2:46 PM
@Rapitor Have you heard RedPower is becoming its own game with its own engine now?
 
@Unionhawk seriously?
...why
 
Yep
 
TUBES ARE THE EASIEST SYSTEM
 
that's why
Also she got tired of patching things properly because that took forever every time
@OrigamiRobot The item transfer pipes from ExtraUtilities are basically tubes
 
@DwarfSlice Bundles with smaller sites are more about getting exposure than selling games.
 
2:50 PM
My job when playing with friends was pretty much generate all the RF energy for the entire server (around 4-6 people) to use publicly as well as supply food. steam boilers and steve's cart was pretty much my entire property
 
'cause seriously, you aren't doing bundles to make money
 
I'M TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO TODAY:
SEE ABOUT GETTING NEW GLASSES
TRADE IN COMICS I NO LONGER WANT
GO TO LEATHERWORKING SHOP
THE CHOICES ARE MAKING ME WANT TO SAY EFF IT AND PLAY BORDERLANDS INSTEAD
 
@OrigamiRobot I was unaware you wore glasses.
 
WELL NOW YOU KNOW
I WANT TO GET PROPER LENSES PUT IN MY PINCE NEZ FRAMES
 
2:54 PM
@OrigamiRobot that sounds like the most reasonable choice
 
@Rapitor THE COMICS OPTION WILL GET ME MONEY
 
@OrigamiRobot but that still requires going out and putting on pants.
 
@DwarfSlice Will have to try this if I get time this weekend
 
I'M AT WORK SO I ALREADY HAVE PANTS ON
 
2:55 PM
@DwarfSlice Trove sounds familiar... What genre?
 
that's unofortunate
 
@Koviko action rpg / mmo
 
IT IS
 
I am really really enjoying it.
 
@ori My condolences
 
2:57 PM
BUT IF I WANT TO NOT HAVE PUT ON PANTS IN VAIN, I SHOULD DO ONE OF THOSE THINGS
 
@Koviko I cringe any time I see the word "voxel" in a game's description.
 
@OrigamiRobot AND KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
 
IT'S GREAT TO LEARN
 
Hm... Looks similar to Minecraft. Based on that alone, I'm not sure I'm willing to participate.
Minecraft is a great game. But games that intentionally try to look like Minecraft bug me.
 
@Koviko The focus is much more on the adventuring and exploring dungeons.
 
3:01 PM
@Koviko So anything that uses cubes as a base for any model?
 
You can build your 'cornerstone' which is a small plot you can summon at a bunch of locations, so it follows you around.
 
@DwarfSlice Sounds kinda like EQ Landmark
 
Landmark has no combat.
It's just an engine test for EQ
 
@Batophobia For the terrain, yeah. I don't enjoy constant hopping to go up a "hill"
 
@Koviko You can walk up one-block elevations without having to jump in Trove
 
3:03 PM
mic drop
 
@DwarfSlice Is it going to have block-building, or is it just an aesthetic?
 
@Koviko You can build in your 'cornerstone' which is a small plot where you can place your utility stuff and you can pretty it up if you want. There's cornerstone plots all over the place and you can summon your place to any of them, so you can heal and break down items and do other stuff.
You can also make a 'club world' which is basically a private world you can build freely in.
 
@DwarfSlice Oh, so it's not gonna be like a build-whatever-wherever kinda thing?
 
@Koviko You can build wherever, but the worlds change pretty often. Once a bunch of dungeons get completed in a world, it stops sending people there, and just generates a new one.
So whatever you build won't be around for long.
Unless you build it in your cornerstone, or a club world.
 
fancy
 
3:06 PM
@DwarfSlice Hm. Yeah, I might give it a go and see how it feels.
 
I like it.
There's still a starter pack on humble bundle that gives you an extra class right off the bat too for $1.
 
How are the servers handling it so far? Trion had problems when Defiance went F2P
 
Otherwise you can unlock all of the classes just by earning currency from playing.
The real-world currency is just for cosmetic stuff, which is nice.
@Batophobia Haven't tried it yet, but the last patch said something about adding a server queue to cope with a lot of players this weekend.
 
@DwarfSlice Humble bundles are starting to make me feel like a leech. lol
I never spend much.
 
@Koviko Yeah, I know what you mean.
 
3:07 PM
@DwarfSlice Does that get you the full game on release too?
 
@Batophobia I'm pretty sure it's going to be F2P
It gets you closed beta access though.
 
@Koviko You are aware that "Voxel" in the description of a game basically means "looks like Minecraft" right?
 
still just one =[
 
@Powerlord Not always, EQ Next is voxels, but it doesn't give the Minecraft feel
 
@Frank Remember that FTDI driver thing? The driver got pulled from Windows Update.
@Batophobia I'll believe it when I see it. I can't see why Sony would switch from using a standard Cartesian coordinate system with Polygons to using voxels instead.
 
3:14 PM
@Powerlord Voxels are easier to use for the destructible environment thing?
 
now you've seen it
 
@Powerlord Figured it would.
 
I've been having so much fun in the new Hexxit beta
 
@Powerlord I thought voxel had to do with outlines... What was the name for that?
Like, Borderlands.
 
@Koviko Cel Shading?
that doesn't always have outlines though
 
3:20 PM
@DwarfSlice Ah, yeah.
 
voxel = volume pixel
i.e. 3D pixels
 
@DwarfSlice CEL DAMAGE
 
@SaintWacko I love that game <3
 
@DwarfSlice It's so amazing
I have a PSX emulator on my computer pretty much solely to play Cel Damage
Or maybe it's PS2
 
Did you hear about the HD remake for PS3 and PS4
 
3:21 PM
Can't remember
@DwarfSlice Yeah, I saw your post the other day :D
If only I had a PS? system
 
@SaintWacko Yeah PS2
 
Cel Damage is the best mp game
It's ridiculous
 
OK, let me put it to you this way: Polygons are drawn using math. Which should be obvious from the name. The 2D equivalent is vector-based graphics. Voxels are drawn by filling in specific points on a grid. The 2D equivalent is pixel/raster-based graphics.
The problem is that voxels tend to use very large grids.
Hence why voxel-based graphics tend to look very blocky.
Plus, video cards tend to have a lot of specialized hardware for doing polygon-based graphics... which shouldn't be a surprise as they've been building it for 20 years.
 
Landmark / EQ Next ^
 
@DwarfSlice Wow, that looks cool
 
3:25 PM
yeah it's beautiful
 
I see, Sony is playing fast and loose with the truth. Only the ground in that picture is voxel based. Everything else is standard polygons.
I got suspicious when their documentation said that "the size of a male character is a bit over 7 voxels"
 
@Powerlord The house in the background is likely voxels
 
@Batophobia Possibly.
I can tell you right now that the player, grass, and likely trees aren't.
 
@Powerlord Yeah, that's for sure
 
In fact, the part of Sony's documentation that I just quoted guarantees that the player isn't.
Because if the player was made of voxels and is only 7 voxels high, they'd look like the player characters in Minecraft do.
Documentation that I'm referencing
 
3:31 PM
@DwarfSlice Trove requires an internet connection, right?
 
3:42 PM
@Unionhawk I liked your NO so I giffed it
 
Bleh
Apparently I never got Gnomoria
 
@SaintWacko that sounds like an std
 
@SaintWacko Yeah, unfortunately.
@OrigamiRobot gnomoria.com
