@Sterno nice. That actually is what I use it for, though. That, and I got in an argument with Tara Strong a couple of days ago

@murgatroid99 I just googled who that was. And I still don't know who that is.

Well yes, if you follow "bad" accounts you'll get "bad" tweets. If you follow twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack your twitter experience will be different than if you follow twitter.com/BarbieStyle

@AshleyNunn yeah. There's this girl that she has been promoting for people to donate for cancer treatment. I pointed out on reddit that they said that they were using "alternative medicine" and I was worried that people were giving money to something that wouldn't be effective.

and then you could use that money to get "free" gold

Atrocious.

Either that or they upvoted solely because of bold text and bulleted lists.

8:42 PM

@InvaderSkoodge No, that was me. I think it's a valid answer. =/

user15026

@InvaderSkoodge shrugs It's a legit anwer.

I downvoted because of the misleading definition of "free"

Time is not free

@Ullallulloo It is an answer.

That's the best I can say for it.

user15026

@badp Well, then none of the games you get for free are free, then

user15026

That is incredibly flawed logic.

8:45 PM

Ca minimum wage soon to be 10$

user15026

Trial Pay isn't all stuff you have to pay for, most of it takes you like maybe ten seconds.

sooo alot of things can be got for less than that

@AshleyNunn You don't have to jump through hoops and like things on facebook and fill in eleventy pages of surveys to play free games (I have never used Trial Pay)

user15026

@badp You don't have to do that for TrialPay either

@AshleyNunn So what do you get "free money" for?

user15026

8:46 PM

Most often, it's just like "download and open this other app", which is often free, and often a game I am interested in anyway

@AshleyNunn Depends on the things. Some you do, some you don't.

user15026

@Ullallulloo True. it's like the Swagbucks offers.

@AshleyNunn Yeah, that definitely takes 10 seconds and won't try to install toolbars, adware or other things in the process

@AshleyNunn That is powered by TrialPay. :P

user15026

@badp I do it on my Android all the time - all of it is run through legit stuff.

user15026

8:47 PM

@Ullallulloo I know :) It is also something I use often

@badp I did one by someone not too long ago that was just to play some free browser game to level 10 or something.

@AshleyNunn I'm not saying it isn't legit, I'm saying that trading time for money is not a novel concept. It's called "work" :P

nothing in the world is ever free

TANSTAAFL

@badp It doesn't take a credit card though like the question asked.

user15026

8:48 PM

@badp But it is technically free, you aren't spending money. Downvoting it on that premise is flawed logic.

user15026

@SaintWacko This, this, this.

@AshleyNunn So when SaintWacko says it it's "this" and when I say it it's "flawed logic"? :P

@badp Haha, she likes me better! :P

only cause shes stalking you on steam

user15026

@badp No, you are saying that it is not good because it requires payment in terms of time, and thus a bad or incorrect answer. I agree with him, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and this is something that TrialPay is aware of and is why their system works and is used in so many places

8:49 PM

@Ullallulloo I will concede this. Then the answer is using Steam Wallet.

user15026

@Brian .....? What?

No CC required, you can buy credit with cash at GameStop and whatnot.

And now, I must away to do some actual work

nothing kidding @AshleyNunn from 2? days ago :)

user15026

@Brian Oh, because I asked him what his Steam ID is, therefore stalking. Okay.

user15026

8:51 PM

@SaintWacko I would say enjoy, but I am not sure if that is an appropriate sentiment :P

user2334

The thing that offends me about the answer is that he used horrendous HTML to format it and somehow managed to completely break the markdown parser

@badp If you don't count anything as being free though, you get other problems.

user15026

@Ullallulloo This!

@AshleyNunn I believe that was a joke.

user15026

@Ullallulloo I know.

8:53 PM

It was a bad joke MY BAD sorry @AshleyNunn

@Ullallulloo I'm not saying nothing is free. I'm saying there's no such thing as free money

user15026

@Brian shrugs honestly not bothered by it, no worries :)

I keep getting downvotes on my meetup posts. I wonder why.

user2334

There, I fixed it

sm scat facts? wtf

oh how does sms cat facts relate to twitter

user2334

@Brian Twitter is designed around SMS

user2334

although they like to forget that

@MarkTrapp thats not true, they just took the short message concept

user2334

9:07 PM

The 140 character limit is there because SMS messages can only be 160 characters, and they wanted 20 characters for metadata like user name

user2334

@Brian Yes it is true.

It never had sms integration...

user2334

haha, yes it did. Pretty sure it still does

@Brian you almost owed me a keyboard

user2334

See here

user15026

9:08 PM

@Brian Yes it does.

user2334

> Twitter's origins lie in a "daylong brainstorming session" held by board members of the podcasting company Odeo. Dorsey, then an undergraduate student at New York University, introduced the idea of an individual using an SMS service to communicate with a small group.

user2334

> The original project code name for the service was twttr, an idea that Williams later ascribed to Noah Glass, inspired by Flickr and the five-character length of American SMS short codes. The developers initially considered "10958" as a short code, but later changed it to "40404" for "ease of use and memorability."

The concept was around it, but sms could never feasibly be used for twitter

phone networks arent built like that :P

user2334

I don't know why you keep holding onto that, but it's totally wrong

user15026

@Brian support.twitter.com/groups/34-mobile/topics/153-twitter-via-sms/…

user15026

9:11 PM

I know people who use it this way still.

user2334

only way to use Twitter on a feature/dumb phone

user2334

well, unless you have one of those carrier-supplied crap apps

alright well assumed they had a more cost effective design my bad

sending texts isnt cheap

user2334

Back in two-thousand dickety seven, everyone thought text messaging was the future

user15026

@Brian If you have unlimited texting, and I knew a lot of people who did then, it wasn't really that bad

user2334

9:13 PM

@Brian there was a thing in 2008 or 2009 when they retired short codes for everywhere except US (maybe NA) because of the expense (to Twitter), but they still allow text messaging via regular numbers internationally

@Brian It is for the phone companies.

user15026

@MarkTrapp I think you can still use them here

Tweeting from sms would be fine cause thats your bill i'm talking about twitter pushing updates to people via sms

user2334

@AshleyNunn Huh, interesting. Looks like they worked something out in the intervening years

user15026

@MarkTrapp Yeah, looks like :)

user15026

9:16 PM

I knew it had to be possible on Bell somehow, because of people I know who used it until the last few months or so when they finally upgraded.

user15026

I still get the odd person who has "via sms" after their tweets.

I don't know I'm still pretty sure he just took the text limit from sms because he liked the idea of short succinct text

but i guess thats just what he said in the interview after the fact cause the original idea was so unscalable

user15026

@Brian Proof?

user15026

I like facts. :)

k lemme find the npr interview

9:19 PM

Hello! I'm looking for game suggestions

user15026

@ZetaTwo What sort of thing are you looking for? :)

Some kind of multiplayer game which involves alliances, pacts, betrayal, backstabbing, etc.

user2334

@Brian It's definitely the SMS restriction. Biz Stone on the Colbert Report at 1:25 says it explicitly. Just before, he explains Twitter's SMS roots

user15026

@ZetaTwo I don't think I will be much help there - I don't really play multiplayer, but I am sure someone else might have an idea or two.

Ok. I know it's a bit vague.

user15026

9:21 PM

@ZetaTwo Sorry I can't personally be of more help. :(

Hey, you can't know everything. :D

user15026

@ZetaTwo This is true. :P I can try, though :D

user2334

@ZetaTwo check out any of the Civilization games. Also FreeCiv and Endless Space

@ZetaTwo YES I CAN WATCH ME!

@MarkTrapp This whole idea started after playing a lot of civ

user15026

9:23 PM

@OrigamiRobot You're a robot, that's different

user2334

@ZetaTwo The overarching genre that encapsulates that type of play is 4X, of which Civ is a member

user15026

@MarkTrapp Oh, huh, now i finally know what that means.

Yeah, but 4X games are usually so huge

user2334

If you want a smaller style game, there's Settlers of Catan, which has plenty of pacts, betrayal, backstabbing, and loss of friends

Would anyone be interested in my MechWarrior Online Blog?

9:27 PM

@AshleyNunn Yeah, not for this work. My normal work is fun, the programming, but this special stuff just sucks

user2334

@ZetaTwo Another option is Sins of a Solar Empire, which is less vast in scope and simpler than most 4X games, with some RTS elements

@Pyrodante Maybe

user15026

@SaintWacko :( Boo for sucky work stuff. :(

Yeah, we've tried that as well. It's a nice game

@MarkTrapp I think I'm going to be playing Settlers of Catan for the first time tonight

9:27 PM

@MarkTrapp is Endless Space good?

Well if you are interested, my MechWarrior Blog: dbefored.blogspot.com let me know what you think please

A: Are there any ways to get Realm Gold?

0

In the United States you can buy Steam Wallet Codes from GameStop using cold, hard cash ($20 or $50). This also works for Kongregate Kreds. If you live elsewhere, you can also transfer money from your bank account to your Paypal account, no credit card required. This requires some paperwork and ...

ಠ_ಠ

Ok you're right when twitter first started it was based on sms, tho when it got popular, they had moved past that model in the US

@Pyrodante Will do.

<--- stands corrected

9:29 PM

@Ullallulloo thanks!

user2334

@ZetaTwo I haven't been able to play it much to make a definitive statement, but it really depends on who you talk to anyway. The AI is balls hard at times, but the combat system is trivial. Perhaps the best term to describe it is "flawed", but I'd say it's worth a look if you're into the 4X genre

Ok. Because one issue we had with Civ V was the combat

it is totally broken

user2334

Have you tried Civ 4? People who hate Civ 5's combat generally like it a lot better

@Ullallulloo so?

@MarkTrapp Heh, I was about to suggest that

9:30 PM

Does it work well in multiplayer in civ 4?

@ZetaTwo Same as in singleplayer

You were the one who noted the thing about not having to use credit cards.

user2334

@ZetaTwo Endless Space's combat is really simplistic: you set up a couple of cards, and watch it play out. Not a lot of opportunity for combat strategy

@badp Yeah, nevermind. I misread the question this time.

So, civ 4 multiplayer is standard turn based, not like civ 5 hybrid style then?

9:32 PM

@ZetaTwo I haven't played civ 5, but in civ 4, it's just like the other player is one of the AIs. How does it work in civ 5?

user2334

@ZetaTwo Pretty sure it's got both modes

user2334

I thought Civ 5 did too, but I haven't played any MP in Civ 5

@MarkTrapp Oh, yeah, you're right. You can set simultaneous turns

In civ 5, everyone play their turn simoultaneously

which is a nice thing I think

except that combat is broken by it

@ZetaTwo how does that work

9:33 PM

@ZetaTwo Oh, like in Frozen Synapse?

with 2 people interacting with the same thing

like I move away, and you attack and kill... does that make my guy move and die?

That's weird. So you could go to attack someone, and their turn would execute simultaneously, and they could no longer be there?

oh nm thats what you just said :P

@Pyrodante that's when it breaks. Basically the one who clicks first makes the move first

herm

9:34 PM

@ZetaTwo That's not very well done

no

I just like it because I am Pincess Celestia spreading the faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorn :P

So, something which is real time, fast turns or something like that would be nice

user2334

@ZetaTwo I don't know how else you could handle it without reverting back to full turn-based strategy

because it's boring to wait a lot while the other players make their moves

user2334

9:36 PM

@ZetaTwo Oh, you could always set time limits for turns, n'est-ce pas?

@Ronan You still have two class choices you can make for your guy in my squad.

@SaintWacko No. Whoever clicks first wins.

It's terrible.

Q: Is there any way to cancel my mind control on an enemy alien?

1

I have the final alien in a mission mind controlled and the mission isn't completing. Is there any way to cancel the MC rather than waiting around for it to blast one of my team members?

xcom-enemy-unknown

@MarkTrapp Frozen Synapse has both players plan out their turns, then play them out at the same time. So if both sides decide to attack, the result could be different if one or the other decides to defend.

Do you know of any other, maybe smaller games, which contains elements of trust/deception, etc?

9:38 PM

Essentially, it could be fixed by resolving combat at the end.

user2334

Ah, that makes sense

Because, while civ and sins of a solar empire are great games, they are huge and matches takes a whole day

@ZetaTwo Have you tried Frozen Synapse?

It's a lot of fun

It's cool, yeah

@SaintWacko I don't think that's the kind of thing he's talking about.

user2334

9:39 PM

@ZetaTwo Mostly just ports of board games. Settlers of Catan is a biggie. Monopoly, Clue, etc.

@ZetaTwo Do you mean a game where you can make/break alliances?

@MarkTrapp This is what I was going to say.

@InvaderSkoodge Yeah, it's not on the same scale, but it's good for short games

Risk is a good one.

user2334

Oh yeah, definitely Risk. There are some really good ports for it too

Diplomacy (game)

Diplomacy is a strategic board game created by Allan B. Calhamer in 1954 and released commercially in 1959. Its main distinctions from most board wargames are its negotiation phases (players spend much of their time forming and betraying alliances with other players and forming beneficial strategies) and the absence of dice or other game elements that produce random effects. Set in Europe just before the beginning of World War I, Diplomacy is played by two to seven players, each controlling the armed forces of a major European Power (or, with few players, multiple powers). Each player aim...

I've never played this, but I hear it's really good for that kind of stuff.

9:40 PM

Oh, Diplomacy. I've heard about it, never played. Could be something

I've also heard don't play Diplomacy with friends, because then they won't be friends any more.

Speaking of which, that's why I haven't played Risk in a long time.

I don't really like Risk though

user2334

@ZetaTwo Another option are card games, like Magic the Gathering Duels of the Planeswalkers

@MarkTrapp those are plain 1v1 games, no?

user2334

They have larger multiplayer modes. Two-headed giant, Planeschase, Archenemy

9:44 PM

I've played some (real, not simulated) multiplayer M:tG games that came down to a lot of conspiring.

We always played with the same group of 5 in a free-for-all format.

The local metagame evolved over time to have decks that seemed innocuous until they won the game in a single turn.

If you looked like a threat, you would be ganged up on.

That was fun times.

I remember building some mtg deck which revolved around setting of some kind of "mana generation" and then spawning like 30 1/1 tokens

haven't played in like 5 years though

@ZetaTwo Yeah I stopped almost 8 years ago.

@fbuekert I choose fishing and puppetry.

Fluttershy

@Fluttershy Should I feel out of touch for not knowing who the one on the left is?

Also, wow

Fluttershy

9:54 PM

@SaintWacko It's Amanda Todd. The Canadian girl who killed herself after being bullied.

@Fluttershy Oh, okay

user15026

@fluttershy I get that it is a jab at the girl with the Nirvana shirt, but I dislike the sentiment at the top, about everything that is wrong with the world.

now if it was honey bo bo and Kurt, I would agree

9:58 PM

I think it's perfectly ok to not know who Kurt Kobain is

@ZetaTwo While wearing a Nirvana t-shirt?

user15026

Pretty much.

I don't know who the girl on the left is.

Is that a good thing?

user15026

I can't say I would know the faces of a bunch of people I listen to but that doesn't mean I sucked as a fan.

@InvaderSkoodge well, that's when it gets questionable

but yeah, I think you can be a fan of a band without knowing what the members look like

also, I would say Nirvana is more than a band

they are also some kind of cultural symbol

10:01 PM

@AshleyNunn Yeah, knowing who she is, I don't agree with that part of it either

@Fluttershy I wouldn't have immediately recognized either.

Nirvana sucks.

What is the Good hasn't been solved in over 3000 years: I know, let's ask SE!
