Yeah did you consider that at least one of the bridge is in college and therefore has no money? HUH, TURTLE? DIDJA?
 
It's okay, you're playing vicariously through us by being meat shields
 
@StrixVaria Yes. Stun lancers are the worst. You can flash bang them so they won't melter, but then they murder you with gifts. If it's any consolation they get easier once you get magnetic weapons
melter = melee
 
murder you with gifts?
 
gifts = guns
 
Lol

@GnomeSlice little lead gifts
 
One of my characters was smacked by a faceless next to a car which immediately exploded, bringing her from full hp to 1. She was injured for 10 days. Another character took 1 hit that took her to half health and healed it with a med kit. 16 days.
I feel like I should bring one rookie per mission just so that I never have to bring two rookies on a single mission later.
 
Oh look, @Sterno was promoted to sharpshooter again
@Unionhawk became a grenadier, because he likes being inaccurate

Q: Is there a point in saving more civilians in XCOM 2?

Ilya ChernomordikThere was a mission where I needed to save 6 and HQ was complaining each time they were lost. Is there really a point in saving more than required by mission (6 in my case)? I mean real bonuses apart from badges, achievements, etc.

Q: What is the story in Harry the Handsome Executive?

Perplexing PiesSo I just completed a playthrough of "Harry the Handsome Executive" by Ambrosia software and I have to admit that the story lost me quite a bit. What was Harry saving the secretary from? What exactly was his company?

 
6:05 PM
@TimStone The Pacifier was meant to be
 
I actually tried to call it "The Pacifier" but apparently that's one character too long :(
 
I didn't even know stun lancers knocked you out until later on because they were always killing me in one hit
 
@StrixVaria That's a good idea.
@Sterno Same here
 
My current campaign (almost May) only has 10 starting soldiers. Well, 9 now
too fund-strapped to recruit
 
Oh, okay then civilians
 
6:13 PM
The True Concealment mod sounds neat. Timers only start once concealment is broken.
@TimStone he really wants that loot
 
So does she (top left-ish), apparently
 
I wish I could feed my shaken rookies to the forge
 
ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING STEAM
I THINK YOU ARE TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING
 
They are trying to sell you something.
 
@Unionhawk I already finished Broken Age
that's how Steam gave me this ENTIRELY RANDOM ASSORTMENT of cards
 
6:19 PM
They are trying to sell you community market cards that ultimately they get all the money from
Obv
Don't you see?
Your hope is now despair
 
Eddy Wally, the guy in the "wow" video (which is in every single montage parody)... died yesterday.
 
I AM SURE WE CAN ARRANGE 50-25-25
 
Like I said, ultimately that's fake money. Someone had to pump that into the cm economy with real money
 
do I get that 50%
WELL DO I GET THAT 50% IN STORE CREDIT
WHY YES YES I DO GET THAT 50% IN STORE CREDIT
 
IT'S A NEGATIVE SUM GAME THE ONLY WINNER IS GABEN HIMSELF
 
6:24 PM
HOW IS THIS FOR SUM
 
@badp how can you see that?
He has me on ignore, can someone ask him?
 
It's certainly not Dim sum
 
@Unionhawk has been gravely wounded because he panicked like a silly
 
interview tomorrow, arrrgh
 
6:25 PM
@twobugs mmm, dim sum
 
@badp ah, thanks.
For unignoring and the link.
 
I remember liras
good old -.50$ bill
 
Ouch, I apparently spent 1000 dollars on my steam.

Q: How many hit hits can a dimond picaxe stand

IsaacR22Me and my friend are arguing about how many hits a dimond picaxe will stand can you answer our question?

 
I've finally crossed the $1k mark myself apparently
BUT NOT THE €1k MARK
WHICH IS CLEARLY THE MORE IMPORTANT ONE
 
6:35 PM
Well, I'm at $959.23
Which is 2,804 Turkish liras
Which is the price of a small car.
 
...what kinda car can €900 buy
ah, the kinda car straight from a 80s movie :P
 
@badp most popular car in turkey.
Sold worldwide as fiat regata, sold in turkey as tofaş şahin.
 
"Production 1983-1990"
I see I wasn't wrong
I hope you can upgrade soon to Pandas
 
Also, recommend me games.
Y'know, there is a sale atm for lunar new year.
 
My mother had one. That engine sound was so peculiar, you could tell there was a Panda coming my way from a considerable distance away
 
6:41 PM
@badp IT MEANS SOME FOOLS HAVE BOUGHT WAY MORE THAN SOLD, AND ALSO PEOPLE HAVE PUT IN AT LEAST A LOT OF MONEY IN THEIR WALLETS
 
@Unionhawk GOOD
meanwhile.
 
oh god he's back
 
 
#BRANDPROTECTION
 
 
6:45 PM
So I can't upload my grumpy cat's videos to youtube? Dammit.
 
@TimStone gotta sell that precious precious merchandise
 
Well, my wife has now been waiting 3.5 hours at the doctor's office to have my son seen. She's going to be in a not-so-great mood when she gets home.
 
Wikipedia articles don't buy money after all
 
looks for a place to hide
 
@Sterno XCOM2 IS NOT A PLACE TO HIDE
 
6:47 PM
@badp Maybe if I try really hard
 
YOU SO PREDICTABLE
 
Predictably awesome
So the only soldier not from my custom pool was some "Hero of the Old War" guy. He's French, and is really successful at charging people with a sword and stabbing them. So I named him Pierre le Stab
Maybe Stabbe would be more French
 
@Sterno nah, would be too long.
Pierre le Stabbe
Actually it fits. IDK.

Q: How do I heal a specific limb?

AdeeseHow do I heal one of my limbs in Fallout 4? At various points a notification appears that one of my limbs is severely damaged, impairing my abilities. However, I can't figure out how to heal that limb. On the Stats page of my Pip Boy I can see which limb is damaged, but I can't figure out how to...

 
@Sterno "Pierre le frapper"
 
6:52 PM
I say to my wife, "I'm only going to load old saves if things go really, really poorly." In the very next battle, I revert back 2 turns at least 3 times to replay stuff because I'm so, so very bad at this game.
 
also I thought it was supposed to be written like Piêrre
 
Missed a 97% ambush shot. Ah, XCOM.
 
@twobugs I played 20 minutes of Valkyrie Chronicles, moved a dude straight into an enemy's face, aimed at his face with my mouse, watched the guy miss all five shots, uninstalled.
(The absolutely atrocious speed of combat also helped, but)
 
Wat, how did you manage that?
 
?
 
6:55 PM
Why would you move straight into someone's face...?
You worry me, @badp
 
tutorial mission
last enemy
2 hits and he's dead
atrociously slow combat system
and I assume all units fully heal between combat
 
None of those answered my question. That's also not really how guns work
 
The game literally gives you a hits counter
"7 hits and he's dead" "2 hits and he's dead"
 
Yeah but why did you run up to his face rather than staying back?
 
@badp Just surprised they missed every shot at that range
 
6:58 PM
@twobugs for more information please reread
 
There's also no locational damage so shooting at his head does nothing
 
that's in direct contradiction with the game's advice
"aim at center of mass but headshots do more damage"
 
Wait I'm confused, you're right
 
Sniper headshot all the enemies
 
However, it's pretty clear the implication... you have a higher chance to land a critical hit, but more chance to miss
 
6:59 PM
Good times, good times
 
@twobugs THAT'S WHY I WENT UP IN ITS FACE
 
But that was a bad idea to begin with. That goes against the idea of a gun!
Furthermore, he can do that to you too, now!
 
I did have to spend three command points to finish this guy off
and the main character did drop to like 20 hp
but eventually he managed to land the second shot!

Q: How can i create backgrounds for Parallax scrolling?

ColometWich is the view of the background of the game? isometric, cabinet, ...

 
@twobugs IS IT MY FAULT THAT NONE OF THE UNITS HAD A KNIFE
just GRENADES
GRENADES for a 3v2 encounter
(also @GnomeSlice can attest that I'm genuinely bad at Frozen Synapse)
 
7:03 PM
Sorry, Ms. Civilian who had 3 enemies near her and was on the third floor of a building when I blew the floor out with a grenade
 
Literally war criminal
 
I think my favorite thing in this game is making my own doorways into buildings
 
The destructable environments are great
I was on a roof with no cover for me and a sectoid that was going to kill me so I threw a grenade at him which blew open the floor and sent him down to ground level so I could finish him off
 
@Sterno How do you spell franks last name ?
 
@Wipqozn Bueckert
As in @fbueckert
 
7:15 PM
Thanks
 
I just killed 2 stun lancers with a grenade that dropped them 3 stories. It felt good.
Oh, bonus. The guy who killed the civilians by collapsing a building on her is no longer "shaken". Apparently that was just what he needed to get out of his low-willpower slump.

@Lazers2.0 Wait what? Minecraft has marriage?
 
@Sterno How many times are you guys killing me?
 
@Arperum Nope.
 
@Frank I don't think you've popped up in my game yet
 
@Frank They are constantly murdering everybody.
 
Either mod or roleplay.
 
7:28 PM
@AshleyNunn is the hero of my current story though.
 
I'll be updated the Arqade.bin file with @Frank shortly
Just about top make @Arperum
 
@Wipqozn I hope I get long hair. ANd a beard? Preferably purple hair and a dark brown beard.
 
@Arperum You're going to have dreadlocks
 
@Wipqozn AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Why? I don't like dreadlocks :(
 
@Arperum I thought you were a rocker
Dreadlocks are actually the closet to what I think your hair is
You have long hair, they don't really have the option for males
It's dumb
I'll do the best I can
 
7:32 PM
@Wipqozn I am, but I don't like dreadlocks. It sounds horribly inconvenient for headbanging too.
@Wipqozn Thanks.
@Wipqozn Yes.
 
You will have a tattoo
Wolf or snake tattoo? or both?
annnd game crash
 
@Wipqozn I want a tattoo. Don't have one yet though.
@Wipqozn Wolf!
 
yey new kernelsd

@Wipqozn I'M BURNING!
 
@TimStone Are you playing on "Baby's First XCOM" difficulty, or are you playing Ironman Commander/Legend?
 
I'm playing the default (second) difficulty
But Ironman because I don't redo
 
ah okay, the voice actor for the speaker vocied Garrus in Mass effect
 
My son is being sent to the ER :(
 
7:47 PM
Oh no, what happened? D:
 
@Sterno Holy shit man. Best of luck. Thoughts are with you and your family.
 
Some sort of respiratory illness. They're not sure yet.
We thought it was pneumonia but apparently not
 
@Sterno Oh no, hope it's ok
 
@Sterno I hope everything turns out okay
 
Oh no, that really sucks. I really hope they'll figure it out soon and they can get him fixed up :(
 
@Sterno Oh man best of luck
 
It probably will out fine.

Q: Is it possible to attack or kill NPCs from faraway places using a bow?

JimI was wondering if this was really possible. Lets say I'm at the Markarth Stables, and I use a bow for this. My target is at the Riften Stables, that guy who you can brawl with. If I use a bow an arrow, from a faraway place, an I'm able to attempt to shoot it faraway, will it kill NPCs from that ...

 
7:56 PM
@twobugs is dead
and no @jAson is panicked
They really do need to fix the panic system one day
one soldier dying, when you've killed a few guys, should never make your soldiers panic
it just doesn't make any sense at all
 
I think you are underestimating the stress of combat.
 
You murderer!
 
@Wipqozn with the triple grenade kill, good times, good times
 
Getting stressed on someone dying is one thing, but I've had multiple people get stressed when the enemy fights back at all. That's annoying (and no, they weren't shaken)
I murdered the viper, though. Sharpshooter blew em up from range. Good times.
 
well mission one done
Oune wounded, one dead
and @Jason has reduced will
tempted to just restart
yeah, mine as well
@Arperum, @Yuuki, @djsmiley2k
 
8:04 PM
I haven't had anything bad happen yet but I'm playing on normal /shrug
 
@Wipqozn Oh I died?
 
Derrrp
 
@Yuuki No, in starting party
 
@Sterno There has to be a balance between realism and gameplay though.
 
I'm still curious how commander and vet differ
I know in XCOM 1 the AI held back in normal
 
8:06 PM
AI might be holding back. Sometimes they seem like they could have killed me but just overwatched instead
Other times they make these perfectly calculated dashes through my overwatch(es) and then kill me
 
well I can already tell I'll be failign this mission, and I haven't had any combat yet
the first mission has os much luck involved init
 
@Wipqozn was promoted to specialist
Sterno is wounded though, ADVENT Officers really like to mark him for some reason
 
oh, I forgot to overwatch
yeah, folks are dying, because the placement of enemies was bad
yeah I'm going to restart
there's literally no point in going on with one dead and one wounded
 
@Wipqozn was the dead/wounded me?
 
yeah winning this one, probably without wounded
 
@ardaozkal You died ages ago in a campaign I stopped
You have yet to respawn
 
@Wipqozn :(
 
oh goodie, someone dead
gotta love'em criticals
and now panicked
so he'll probably lose will and be completely useless from now on
oh I forgot thos eguys could use grenades
so this is another restart
two dead
yup, thanks rng
great to know skill adn tactics don't amtter at all
They mine as well just have my watch die rolls
 
Yay, @AshleyNunn has joined my fight against the aliens

8:51 PM
I'm starting to feel for the first mission the game should just a roll a die, and tell you what happened, and not even let you bother playing it
That 1 dead, 1 wounded save is looking preeeeetty good right about now
 
@Wipqozn If it's any consolation, you're making me feel good about my decision to play on normal until I get a good grasp on the strategy
