@Fluttershy Thoughts on Grimrock? Awesome? Bad? Et Cetera?

Fluttershy

@MarkTrapp When you say hardcore mode, what do you mean exactly?

You're Handsome

@Fluttershy permadeath

user2334

@Fluttershy Permadeath, but apparently it doesn't have it

You're Handsome

When your party wipes your save file is deleted, and you can't have back-ups.

user2334

Trying to project my interest in Roguelikes onto the game :P

Fluttershy

7:01 PM

@MarkTrapp Ah, no. It doesn't have that. But it does have a no-mapping option. So it'd be you and a piece of grid paper and pencil marking your progress.

You're Handsome

@MarkTrapp Roguelikes <3

Fluttershy

@YoureHandsome I love it.

Sterno

It's not a roguelike, but I like Grimlock a lot

fredley

@murgatroid99 Is she wielding...herself?

murgatroid99

@fredley yes

Fluttershy

7:03 PM

Though, I think I should have really started playing on Easy given my lack of experience in games like this.

James

@Sterno Its a Moraff's revenge like :D

Fluttershy

@MarkTrapp "Permadeath should be pretty easy to implement so it seems very likely we're going to add it to the game."

Sterno

I'm playing on Hard and it's not too bad, given that you can abuse rest and save crystals

Enough so that if I ever do a second playthrough, I'll probably enforce a self no-save-crystal rule

Fluttershy

@Sterno I stepped on a pressure plate and got trapped in a room with 3 legionaires.

Sterno

@Fluttershy Worth it! You get some good gear out of that

Fluttershy

7:05 PM

@Sterno I died. <.<

It takes too long to cast spells on my mage that the rest of my party gets hit two or three times while I do all the necessary clicking.

Anyone have 2 Dota 2 invites in their steam inventory?

@YoureHandsome Also, if you're considering picking of Legend of Grimrock, I'd do it now while it's on sale.

You're Handsome

@Fluttershy Whenever the steam summer sale starts it will probably be on sale for much cheaper, so not in a rush. Besides, it's only a $2 difference.

Fluttershy

@YoureHandsome Oh. Well... Fine.

You're Handsome

@Fluttershy I'm...sorry? Hugs?

user2334

No Mac version and none in the works, either :(

NOT GOOD ENOUGH

You're Handsome

7:10 PM

@MarkTrapp That's because mac users aren't really people. Err I mean... uh...look over there!

Fluttershy

@MarkTrapp I wasn't aware you used a mac

user2334

Oh never mind, they updated their FAQ:

user2334

> We release on Windows first, followed by Mac and iOS. Other platforms might be possible too, after we get the game shipped on those three platforms first.

user2334

@Fluttershy Yeah: I game on Mac, iOS, PS3, and PSP

user2334

Sony/Apple fanboy without the raging in YouTube comments, etc.

FAE

7:11 PM

@MarkTrapp aka the rare kind

Fluttershy

@MarkTrapp Ah, I see... We appear to be polar opposites.

fredley

I game pretty much exclusively on Minecraft

You're Handsome

@Fluttershy So he's a Pinkie Pie fan?

FAE

though you can say that about any fandom, whether it be tech or media related

user2334

@YoureHandsome I don't know what that is but in the interests of drama, Pinkie Pie or death!

You're Handsome

7:14 PM

I'm getting so many compliments today. Really makes a guy feel appreciated! :)

user2334

@OrigamiRobot No you aren't.

badp

@wipqozn starcraft-2-2v2 is 2/2 2 many 2s.

You're Handsome

@badp haha, yeah

fredley

7:29 PM

@YoureHandsome What, so Starcraft 2v2 is ok, or Starcraft-2 2v1, or indeed Starcraft-2-1v2?

You're Handsome

@fredley I don't know what I think about this issue anymore.

fredley

@YoureHandsome You must have an opinion

Wait a sec

You're Handsome

@fredley Fine, fine. The correct answer is: Tortoise.

fredley

@YoureHandsome: Who are you?

badp

@fredley starcraft-2v2 is what I made it

You're Handsome

7:31 PM

@fredley I'd prefer to keep your guessing.

badp

We'll worry about it when starcraft 3 comes out mkay? :P

or "Starcraft: 2v2".

fredley

@YoureHandsome Someone interested in Quality and Assurance clearly

Fluttershy

@YoureHandsome I don't. @fredley it's @Wipqozn.

badp

@Fluttershy fredley is wipqozn? mind blown.

fredley

@badp You never see us in the same place at once

Fluttershy

7:32 PM

@badp I said "it's" not "is"

fredley

@badp It's like Fight Club

badp

@fredley Do you think it is that hard to talk to yourself? :P

You're Handsome

@Fluttershy badp's interpretation is funnier though.

Q: Solo Player Corp POS - Feasible or Not?

I'm currently a fairly high skilled mission runner / carebear type that has rarely ventured out of hisec space.

fredley

@badp Not at all. Beating yourself up is harder.

@YoureHandsome One is just a VM running on the other. Not sure which way round though.

No, @YoureHandsome!

badp

7:35 PM

@fredley You don't even need to get that sophisticated anymore.

I won't go into details though, there's more than enough sockpuppetry going on here :P

fredley

@badp Maybe everyone in this chat room is the same person. Except for you!

Even Lazers

badp

@fredley The massive Grace Raven mk86 oak robot does not scare me!

It just terrifies me. Ever so slightly.

fredley

@badp P...porkchop?

badp

@fredley I had to cut the name short at some point.

fredley

@badp You heartless...whatever you are

ninja?

badp

7:39 PM

@fredley Don't be racist against what you're not!

:P

fredley

@badp I'm a porkchop, I have no idea what racist term I'd call you

badp

You don't need terms to be racist.

fredley

@badp Your G+ rant in your profile needs updating

badp

You just admitted to being part of the massive Grace Raven mk86 oak robot. Or rather, being the massive Grace Raven mk86 oak robot itself.

fredley

It needs to be about whitespace now

badp

7:40 PM

If the multiform massive Grace Raven mk86 oak robot is also a porkchop... well I guess that's nano-bio-technology for you.

fredley

@badp I am its porkchop.

badp

@fredley Nah, it still doesn't do nyms.

fredley

@badp I thought it did? Oh well.

badp

@fredley They said it would. At some point in the future.

For all I know they're still banning people left and right.

fredley

Looking at it, you can choose to display your name publicly as your 'nickname'

Oh no wait, no you can't

Boo, Hiss, etc

You're Handsome

7:44 PM

Literature isn't doing too well

badp

They're kind of misleading about it

You're Handsome

badp

"Add your nickname and choose the way you'd like it to be displayed on your profile from the drop down menu."

fredley

@YoureHandsome Yeh, ~1q/day

@badp Yeh, it has to come with your name, no good

badp

Honestly, my name is public information

It's my surname I'm jealous about.

fredley

7:47 PM

@YoureHandsome Most of their top questions are terrible, or off-topic

badp

So if there's an option to keep my surname completely and totally private then I'd go for it.

Otherwise, fuck it.

fredley

@badp Use a different one then. I use my middle name as my surname online

badp

@fredley I was "Santi Badp" until somebody reported me.

fredley

Tom Medley is my online presence, finding my surname is difficult (though not impossible)

@badp Haha

badp

And while I kind of have a middle name I'd rather keep that even more secret. Also - nobody ever used it. So it'd go against the spirit of the guideline, which I actually find myself agreeing with.

You're Handsome

7:48 PM

@fredley Yeah, there top tag is book-rec, and identify-this-book is next (but is behind by 40 questions)

badp

@YoureHandsome I liked that "typo"

You're Handsome

@badp Am I slow?

badp

@YoureHandsome Nope.

You're Handsome

oh, wait. Read that wrong.

Fixed.

badp

@YoureHandsome Nope.

You're Handsome

7:50 PM

I give up forever.

Wait, no. I was right about what a surname meant the first time.

deerp

Okay, let me try this again!

badp

@YoureHandsome Yep.

You're Handsome

@badp Nailed it. tortoise shades

badp

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah.

FAE

@badp "jealous" isn't quite the word you're looking for there. "Possessive" would work.

badp

Secretive?

FAE

7:57 PM

@badp also works

Grace Note

Protective, I might posit

FAE

@badp Actually, strike that, I'm mistaken here. Technically, you can use it the protective sense, I believe.

like "jealously guarding" something

I think it's partially the "about" that threw me off there

Ask @spugsley. She's an English major.

FAE

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot I know an English major who thinks you do the possessive form of non-plural words ending in s with just an apostrophe and not an apostrophe-s, so they can't be trusted.

FAE

@Tristan Nailed it.

FAE

@StrixVaria Well that varies

36

A: What is the correct possessive for nouns ending in s?

Your example sentences confuse two different problems. For nouns that are plural (such as "boys"), the possessive formed in writing by adding an apostrophe after the plural -s. This is pronounced the same as the plural and the singular possesive: The boys' books [boys' sounds like boys] Fo...

Ronan Forman

Where's @ThomasMcDonald when you need him?

StrixVaria

@FAE Singular words always get apostrophe-s, regardless of what English.SE has to say about it.

Confucius's teachings.

Camus's novels.

In fact I just downvoted that answer because I hate people who think that way.

FAE

8:11 PM

@StrixVaria Ah, I missed what you said about non-plurality

@StrixVaria It's not wrong

StrixVaria

@FAE It is wrong for him saying that Confucius' is correct.

FAE

@StrixVaria Looks like you've already argued about it in comments!

StrixVaria

Look at that, so I did.

Grace Note

@agent86 Is that the evil laugh cue?

Ian Pugsley

@StrixVaria it is wrong for you to say he is wrong

he is not right, but he is not wrong - it's preference

agent86

@agent86 I'd expected some reaction that was more legible but I suppose this will do.

Fluttershy

@FAE Still pretty crappy... But I've unlocked some stuff, so I'm not quite as disadvantaged.

FAE

@Fluttershy woo!

@agent86 did you have any issues getting the last Survival mission in SR3?

agent86

@FAE no, I can't say that I did... I just stood around for a while and it popped up

FAE

@agent86 Jochem's just done 3 that counted as "25/26" for him is why I ask, hrm

agent86

8:25 PM

@FAE I'm not 100% sure, but it may be that he's getting called back to old ones. I sure thought it would try to give you new ones whenever possible

FAE

@agent86 I thought so as well

agent86

I would probably try quitting out and loading the save, and then accepting the first challenge to pop up
