Fill out mountains of paperwork to stay employed after a band-aid, but fill out mountains of unemployment paperwork after you're fired for a serious injury. Working is fun!

@Powerlord Yes. (Am I too late to recommend bacon?)

You should eat 2kg of cooked bacon.

Yes

@Powerlord Is this a question? Is there a time where it isn't appropriate to eat all of the available bacon?

5:05 PM

Probably

@StrixVaria When there is steak available (then the solution is to eat both)

Steak is gross.

While undergoing open heart surgery is probably an inappropriate time to eat all the bacon

you're gross

Q: Looking for specific mmo game

0

The game that i am looking for (i dont know if that kind of game is in existence), its a MMO game in which equipment it is primarily obtained and crafted from creatures parts (for PC). For instance, if i kill a bull, i would have its meat, skin, horns and hooves as crafting materials. I have been...

@Lazers2.0 Hehe, Specific MMO.. but what the person is looking for is part of like.. every MMO out there now a days :D

user15026

@James well, yes and no

user15026

Like yes, you kill things and get crafting materials as drops

user15026

but like he seems to be asking for something where you get multiple realistic bits from a thing

5:28 PM

It's a super broad question game rec question. Barf.

Meh

user15026

Yeah, no matter what, it's OT

@AshleyNunn Yeah, the closest I think of would be Monster Hunter, but that's not really an MMO (even if you live in territories where you can play the fully online versions)

user15026

@twobugs Yeah, MH was my first thought, but it isn't an MMO

Yet

5:30 PM

@AshleyNunn it does have an MMO.

If the player-driven crafting aspect is his main focus though, I don't even know what to recommend

user15026

@Rapitor Really?

user15026

I didn't know that.

@Rapitor I thought Frontier and Online were "fully online" but had lobby systems similar to the main series?

yeah, not in NA, though.

5:30 PM

I wouldn't call lobby-driven games "Massively Multiplayer" :P

But I guess that's a semantic argument

i guess it depends on what you define massively multiplayer as. I consider CoD Massively Multiplayer because it has a massive multiplayer playerbase

I always took Massively Multiplayer to be concurrent players in a single instance. WoW is massively multiplayer by that definition and CoD isn't, even though at any given point there are probably more people online playing CoD

I can see it being argued either way, though.

a lot of games still use instances and cap players.

@twobugs This is the same distinction I use.

Q: Installation of a game on X box 360

I keep seeing people say that you need to push the Y button to get to your game details, but mine shows to push the X button... Why is there a confusion here?

dishonored

@Rapitor By that definition, chess is a massively multiplayer game.

Chess MMORPG

@Yuuki maybe? it's a finicky definition.

Chess with leveling perks

level 5: UNLOCK THE BISHOP

level 10: UNLOCK THE KNIGHT

No, that's ridiculous.

5:35 PM

i mean, chess does have a massive playerbase, and it is multiplayer

You're ridiculous.

Move that pawn to the mid lane. Stop feeding the enemy Queen!

I think the definition should be less about how many people are currently playing and more about how many the game is designed to support in one instance.

Massively multiplayer is wholly distinct from massive multiplayer.

@Yuuki This

5:36 PM

@Rapitor "Massively multiplayer" doesn't really mean anything if it's just "multiplayer game that's popular"

Is an MMO that only one or two people still play an MMO?

@Yuuki No.

@Yuuki no, it's not massive

its just MO at that point

@Yuuki Let's ask one of the two people still playing Wildstar

@twobugs shots fired

5:37 PM

@twobugs Was actually about to make a Voat joke.

Again.

@Rapitor A method by which a repeat criminal commits a crime?

@Yuuki Is it still a social bookmarking site if there's only two people sharing links with one another?

@PrivatePansy Technically yes, I suppose

I mean, let's imagine a scenario where suddenly WOW's playerbase dropped to five. It's still an MMO in my opinion because it's designed to function as such.

Is it a reddit clone if it doesn't support a third user though?

@Yuuki Yus

5:38 PM

@twobugs That game looked neat up until I heard it had a subscription fee and then never cared or heard about it again.

@Unionhawk Given how frequently reddit's servers run out of capacity, I'd say yes

@StrixVaria You didn't miss much. I played for about a month. Some good ideas, but lots of shoddy and unpolished crap to wade through.

Besides, why would you shadowban the only other user of your site?

5:39 PM

Maybe the other user is a jerk

is Destiny an MMO? nobody knows, Bungie doesn't either

was it designed as one? maybe?

@Rapitor I don't think 6 players to an instance counts as "massively multiplayer"

@Rapitor Hah. I love how they keep calling it things like a "content delivery platform"

@murgatroid99 but the drop-in drop-out stuff works like an MMO would

Destiny and I'd argue Elite to a small extent can be considered to be weird cases (since an "instance" in Elite is essentially 16 players iirc but those instances are... dynamically reconstructed continuously or something so you do run into more than just the same 16)

I guess elite isn't a special case

5:41 PM

I stopped playing MMOs once I realized I spent all of my time avoiding other players.

@JasonBerkan I used to do that. I'm more social now but... it's a mixed bag.

I stopped going outside when I realized I spent all my time... inside?

Wait, I think I did something wrong.

Definitely more negative ones

@Unionhawk The author is a fanfic writer, but in this case she (at least I think it's a she) also uses the blog to write about other stuff

@PrivatePansy The cost of not dying: your death?

@PrivatePansy I still refuse to believe you.

@JasonBerkan I stopped playing MMOs when i figured out they are all the same thing

You will not trick me with your horse words on this day

5:46 PM

go here, click that guy until he falls (or you fall over), and repeat for 1000 hours

@Rapitor MMOs are really all an existential journey about the real world, man

no

Too deep?

@Rapitor I didn't mind that as much. A grind you can mostly ignore at the end of the day was sometimes a nice thing.

But I can grind in XCOM as well, which I like more and doesn't require social interaction.

I like MMOs. Granted, that might be the stockholm syndrome from having spent a significant portion of my life on them

5:49 PM

Seems likely

Speaking of MMOs, I'm going to start playing EVE again soon

@StrixVaria Well, realism wasn't on my mind when I watched Breaking Bad

And I think LadyWacko is going to pick up WoW again

@Rapitor does it matter that they're all the same if you only play one?

5:51 PM

@StrixVaria I hate that meme because it is completely untrue.

@murgatroid99 but that one formula is boring as hell

@Sterno Yeah, I've never watched the show, but doesn't he do it because he's dying and wants to leave money to his family?

@Sterno There are so many parts of that sentence that I can't figure out which part you're objecting to.

Not to pay bills

That's not "all you need to know", I guess.

5:52 PM

WoW was able to do it, so every single MMO is just a cookie cuuter of that

@Rapitor EVE isn't

yeah... thats an excel simulator

@StrixVaria That's okay, because there are a lot of problems with it! But the simplest of which is that he did have health insurance that would cover treatment. His wife just wanted him to see "top specialists" who weren't in his HMO. Essentially, he was going out of network

EVE did a pretty good job of being a completely new game

@Rapitor Eh, I disagree. There are some pretty defined MMO styles by now

5:52 PM

@SaintWacko At first it's to pay bills, I think, but it eventually kind of turns into that and he also kind of just gets a little bit insane.

But even then, "to pay for treatment" isn't why he was doing any of it

@Rapitor TBH, that is all video game genres. One game defines the genre. Tons of games iterate on it.

@Rapitor There are MMOs that are older than WoW

@murgatroid99 WoW is the biggest, though

@Sterno I'll never watch the show again, mostly because of his wife.

5:53 PM

This talks about it better than I could

@Rapitor Yeah, and it certainly has it's share of copycats

@StrixVaria Her passive aggressiveness is epic

@StrixVaria I saw the first episode, and had no interest in watching more

But that isn't the whole market, I'd say.

@JasonBerkan true, but they still manage to keep their feel. Even though CoD and Battlefield are extremely similar, they still feel very different "cookie cutters MMO" still feel the same

5:54 PM

> Walter White makes his first foray into the meth business before health expenditures are even mentioned. Walter does have insurance coverage, and his HMO will cover his cancer treatment. It’s true that Walter mentions that his HMO isn’t very good at some point, but that’s as far as it goes. As it turns out, Walter doesn’t even intend to endure the treatment (as revealed a few episodes later in “Cancer Man”).

> It’s very clear that Walter’s overriding goal is to leave a nest egg for his wife, disabled son, and unborn baby.

@Sterno Oh, well then.

In fact, trying to out-WoW WoW is probably what led to the prominent failures of recent sub-based MMOs

I don't know who's worse, Walt's wife in Breaking Bad, or Rick's wife in The Walking Dead.

Walt's wife. Rick's has the decency to get killed off

Doesn't she kind of still haunt Rick or something, though?

5:55 PM

Walt's wife isn't the mom from Malcom in the Middle, so her

Only for a while

@StrixVaria For a bit then he gets his shit together

But yeah, she managed to be awful for a while even after dying

> But it’s not because his HMO won’t pay. It’s because Skyler finds an oncologist who is not just one of the best in Albuquerque, but one of the top 10 oncologists in the nation. It turns out this super-doctor with his fancy cancer treatment is not covered by the HMO, and the out-of-pocket price is $90,000. Some will say that’s the smoking gun that indicts the U.S. healthcare system. But there is no system in the world that offers high-end care to everyone

user15026

Breaking Bad is like Weeds in the sense that I have tried to watch them both but since they are mostly "oh look at at all the terrible things that happen" forever and there's no hope or anything, and I just can't handle that.

Anyway, that meme annoys me. :)

5:56 PM

I've only watched through season 3 of The Walking Dead because that's how much was on Netflix when I was watching it. Then when season 4 came out Netflix told me about it and I was like, "no, I think I'm good".

Walking Dead seasons 1 and 2 was pretty ass.

I liked it from 3 on

Oh, well spoiler alert Rick gets his shit together. I think. That might have happened in 3

the season 5 premiere will probably be a tv episode I always remember

@Unionhawk Doesn't Carl lose his shit about the same time?

I don't even remember

5:58 PM

Carl loses his shit at the end of season 3.

I watched the first season of The Walking Dead and stopped. I also read the first 40 comics and stopped. I don't think that comic/show is my thing.

Probably

But has it together by the time of the season 4 premiere (as does Rick)

Maybe I should pick it back up.

Other than Rick's being a little pacifist when season 4 starts

5:58 PM

I have an annoying lack of things to watch on Netflix in the immediate future.

I started watching Archer on Netflix. It's cool and funny, but I heard it gets repetitive later on.

Archer is ok, but I like it better when I haven't seen it in a long time.

@twobugs It has it's moments.

Archer is the best.

Plus, @fredley hates it, so that's a bonus.

When they thought they were going to be canceled for sure, they did a season off on a totally random tangent. 'Archer Vice'

6:01 PM

@Sterno He does? I figured his AD love would at least earn it a few points.

@Sterno Oh man, why did I never know about this

Archer is like the official show of my fraternity house.

Jessica Walters (I think that's her name) plays basically the same role in both shows

Pretty much.

Mar 5 at 17:00, by fredley

We should all tell @fredley how terrible he is retroactively

Hmm. This is a neat set of cheap courses if anybody is interested in HTML 5 and Unity game development: shop.technabob.com/sales/… ~$6 USD

Humble bundle pricing on education classes. I am oddly okay with this.

Is Unity on the way out or am I remembering wrong?

Not that I'm aware of.

People keep telling me Ruby is going away but it's still there.

I know some Unity games won't work on Chrome anymore because they rely on somethingorother that's going away

user15026

@Sterno I thought it was too, for some reason

6:27 PM

Or maybe that's just older versions of the framework

@Sterno I think the unity web player might be dying, but I don't think the regular engine is

Ah. I figured it was the web thing if the course included HTML5

Unity web player is going away indeed, you need to set some flag in chrome to get it to work or something like that

I think some bigger studios have started using Unity for smaller, more lightweight projects

@Sterno That's the old plugin API. Unity is supposed to be able to export to WebGL now, that is the solution to the removal of the old plugins from what I've heard

6:29 PM

Like Blizzard did for Hearthstone

Ronan Forman

@MadScientist The WebGL player isn't done yet or something though.

Ah, yeah, here's an article about it.

I was shocked. Hearthstone Tavern Brawl is temporarily /down/.

@RonanForman You don't need a player for WebGL as far as I understand it

I bet StackExchange could make a killing if they had IAPs

5000 rep for $99.99!

6:30 PM

@MadMAxJr It's always down Sunday night until Wednesday at 1PM EST

Ronan Forman

@MadScientist The WebGL compiler then.

... Oh.

Don't ask me why, but them's the rules.

The Sunwell tavern brawl was absurdly fun.

@MadMAxJr Not when playing against priest, which was pretty much all the time

6:31 PM

And I rolled priest... >_>

I kind of liked the Crossroads one. But I typically get them done ASAP so I can avoid going up against the really cheesy combos

I managed to draft Onyxia and dropped her turn one a few times.

GodEmperorDune

@MadMAxJr odd groups got left, even groups got right

@GodEmperorDune There's a raid leader minion and when you summon him he says "Handle it!"

I feel like they really put a lot of little things like that in HS that make me enjoy it. It has a lot of personality.

Raid Leader is a solid turn 3 play.

6:38 PM

@MadMAxJr Depends on the deck. For a class like priest I'd rather drop Deathlord.

Assuming I have removal in my hand, that is.

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs nice

I can't quite tell what Onyxia says on drop because the sound FX boom over.

@MadMAxJr Raid Leader is too fragile and expensive, just use a dire wolf which is one mana cheaper

@MadMAxJr Me neither. I hate when games have bad sound mixing like that.

Blem

if you are fighting a druid(malfurion) and you summon illidan he will greet his brother

6:40 PM

@Blem That's pretty awesome.

Admittedly, every single minion having a few lines of dialog adds some real charm to the game.

I like how some of the bosses in the single player adventures respond to your emotes

Kel-Thuzad reactions to your game start taunt. :D

I don't think they redid any of his reactions for the new heroes, though.

I have yet to beat Kel-Thuzad because he gets mad, stops your turn, and cheats when you beat down his armor.

6:42 PM

The best strategy for that, IMO, is to build up a single powerful minion as quickly as possible and break his armor/health

You can do that with priest, provided you survive long enough

I was playing Hunter trying to punish every minion drop of his with secrets and direct damage.

He also automatically phase changes after a certain point, I forgot how long (ran into that a few times on the class challenge, which is not fun)

I did not enjoy the frost wyrm one, where you get a frozen minion to hide beside.

I didn't get the death knight one, with the mind control stone. Must be a reference to WoW itself.

I didn't think that one was too bad. There are some real annoying ones in BRM

Blem

@twobugs he dose it once he looses his armor or after being at 10 mana for a couple of rounds
