Heck yes! In your turtle face @Wipqozn!
 
@OrigamiRobot tortoise face*
 
@OrigamiRobot Join the UHC! :)
 
Anyone want to play UHC with us?
It's like starting now.
 
vat is dis "UHC"
 
@James I have other nerd obligations.
 
8:01 PM
awww
 
@Mana Minecraft survival fight thing.
 
No ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
 
I'm here.
Just so you all know...
 
Join the mumble @RedRiderX
 
There is a UHC thing going on right?
 
8:02 PM
We are all in there :D
Yup, We are setting up the tick timer now

Q: How can I counteract the effects of the Ensanguined Shield?

KatieKI've got an Ensanguined Shiled. It's very powerful, but puts the negative status effects of Poison, Slow and Sap on a character when it's equipped. How can I most effectively manage these negative effects on my character? Is there any way to "cure' this shield?

 
@Mana And now i'm wondering if Dirk is actually gay, or if the whole reason he was dropping subtext for all this time has just been so that he could get Jake to revive him.
Otherwise? Yes. Dirk is swooning mancrush worthy.
 
@RavenDreamer oh man I hadn't even considered that.
 
HOW DEEP DOES THIS MOTHER @#$*ING RABBIT HOLE GO! I DON"T KNOW! WHY AM I YELLING!?
Oh!
 
@RavenDreamer I LIKE YELLING TOO
 
8:08 PM
@OrigamiRobot You never answered my question re: Princess Bubblegum randomly breaking into German.
@Mana I've been working on a new game in Unity!
 
@RavenDreamer What about it?
 
Why does she speak German?
 
@RavenDreamer Why do you speak English?
 
@OrigamiRobot Because I don't know Esperanto.
 
@RavenDreamer Probably the same reason.
 
8:10 PM
Maybe it was some in-joke about Germans and Sadism.
It was screams of anguish that caused the pleasure-fainting.
 
@RavenDreamer How you think it?
 
See, your first problem is trying to apply any kind of sense to the show.
 
@Mana Unity? I'm really sad that we got off on the wrong foot, when I was forced to program in a language I didn't know (Javascript / Unityscript)
Now that I'm able to program in C#, though? Ist ausgezeichnet!
@Mana The game? Try for yourself.
 
@RavenDreamer I'm on a netbook running Linux without Unity installed :(
 
@RavenDreamer Install? NTY.
 
8:13 PM
@OrigamiRobot If it makes you feel better, you're not installing my game, just a web player (like Flash)
Kongregate has a lot of Unity web games I think.
@Mana Ah, well. Right now it's set up to play pong with projectiles!
 
@RavenDreamer I am perfectly willing to install your game. It's the fact that it's another web player that deters me.
 
@GnomeSlicE Re: Legs. I found this Looks insanely useful!
@OrigamiRobot Eh. I could build a non-web version for you, but given the lack of stuff actually going on in my game (most of my programming to date has been engine work), It's probably better to simply wait until I have more to show.
 
@RavenDreamer Also, I'm lazy.
This is a known issue.
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm also lazy.
It's contagious!
 
@Oaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak
 
Oak
8:18 PM
@Mana that doesn't actually ping me :)
 
@Oak And yet you are here.
 
Oak
Though we could raise a feature request to enable pings when a vowel is repeated
2
 
Aw.
 
@Oak I know man, but I'm just so excited to see you!
I could go @Oak @Oak @Oak @Oak @Oak but that takes so much effort.
 
@Oak @Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaana that would be awesome.
 
Oak
8:21 PM
@Mana umm... thanks, I guess? What's so exciting about me?
@QAdp It SO would. QAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadp!
@Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaven
 
@Oak Well I just haven't talked to you in a while.
 
By the way has it yet been a month since ArQAde launched?
 
But also you know you're a pretty cool person.
 
Oak
@Mana yea, 3 things in my life have recently been drinking all my time, less time for chat
 
I guess I could change my own nick at any time but I don't want to do so when the others who also joined in can't
 
Oak
8:23 PM
@Mana and one of them is civ5:gak :)
 
@Oak how is it?
 
user2334
@QAdp More than: launched June 7th
 
user2334
Okay, that's Jin's announcement. But you ed it on June 12th, so still more than a month
 
@MarkTrapp Time flies when you're having names
 
Oak
@Mana agent asked me, you could look back to find what I answered him. In short it's not revolutionary but it's overall nice, and I was a big fan of vanilla, so yay for me
@Mana and it was a good relief from D3, which is apparently bad for my wrist :\
Need to go back to play D3 sometimes, but could probably not play it every night
 
8:25 PM
Name sanity awaits you after a refresh
 
user2334
I like GaK's implementation of religion a lot more than Civ4's
 
That reminds me, I need to actually play GaK. I've been too busy playing TF2.
 
You were too busy having hats?
 
Oak
@MarkTrapp haven't played civ4... but I have to say religion is currently my least favourite new addition - as in, it's nice, but in most games I end up mostly ignoring it
 
First gentlemanne's world problem
 
8:27 PM
@Oak Including drinking, I hope?
 
Oak
@RavenDreamer the other two are professional, unfortunately...
 
Which is to say, drinking professionally. I see. ;)
 
Oak
Naa, only Google gave me boose at work ;)
 
@Oak Civ 4 religion was basically a money source (if you had a religion holy city + great prophet wonder) and little else. Oh, it factored into most wars. AI were really serious about their faith. "Convert or die" is apt.
 
Oak
@RavenDreamer well, it does sound more varied now
Also, it's possible it's just I don't know how to fully leverage it yet
but I'm not really fond of the missionary / inquisitor micromanagement
 
user2334
8:31 PM
@Oak In Civ4, you could found any number of religions if you were the first to get its associated technology, and all they really did was provide new culture buildings and some happiness bonuses if you chose the right policy. In GaK, it's at least fleshed out, though I don't like the fact that it seems to only have a negative affect on diplomacy (you can't create allies based on religious agreement like you could in Civ4).
 
user2334
I abuse buying great people with faith a lot in the late game
 
Oak
@MarkTrapp but there are positive diplomacy bonuses associated with religion
If you share a religion with a civ, it's a big bonus
 
user2334
I only saw that with city states: the other civilizations just got knocks to diplomacy and threatened me because I was proselytizing in their territories
 
user2334
Maybe it's because there were enough religions to go around so everyone founded their own

Q: I always have trouble laning Veigar against Morgana, are there any tips or tricks that could help me with this lane?

Acap3llaI am picking up Veigar as my new main champion and have played him in over 100 games in the past week. I am doing very well in the majority of my games and there has only been one champion that I have a negative "lane win/loss" rate against, which is Morgana. I have been keeping track over "lane ...

 
8:35 PM
@MarkTrapp Also, monasteries, which required the religion to be in the city, gave +10% science output, and went obsolete. (Though I've never quite understood obsolesence in that game. Does it change pre-built improvements or only prevent you from buildin gthem?)
 
user2334
@RavenDreamer Changes them all, AFIAK. Sometimes it's because the new tech provides the same bonus, but not always
 
I'm not a fan of obsolescence from a game design standpoint.
 
user2334
Apparently you only lose the science output, not the culture output or the ability to train missionaries
 
8:49 PM
@RavenDreamer Hey, I've done this before, somewhere.

A: How far can redstone current travel?

Xero1of1I've done some research into this myself. I've got 16 sets of memory at 2bytes each. Each memory section is approx 40 blocks long. Redstone propagation is good up to the 5 section. Sometimes it will get as far as the 8th section. So current is limited to 200 blocks reliably, and up to 320 will li...

Do I remove the ad at the end of this guy's answer for his youtube channel?
Well, I'm disappointed that I already had two of the five bonus tracks that came with Frozen Synapse Red, but the other three are amazing.
 
I'd remove it, it doesn't seem to add anything to the answer
 
Wow, I just realized the custom theme I did for the Arqade community twitter is exactly the same as the theme on the official twitter.
I'll have to change it around a bit.
 
@GnomeSlicE They should really get a higher resolution avatar for the official twitter.
 
@Wipqozn I was just going to say 'what on earth happened to the profile image'?
OH MY GOD these extra songs are AMAZING
Give it about a minute to get going.
Fuck it, even if I never play the game again it was worth it for the rest of the soundtrack.
 
What's the name of this game?
 
9:04 PM
@Zignd Frozen Synapse.
 
It's a MMORPG?
 
This particular track came with the paid expansion 'Red', which I just bought for almost nothing on Steam.
@Zignd No... it's not.
 
Awesome album, comes with a free turn-based strategy game.
 
@BrQAnt Yes.
@BrQAnt Have you heard the 'Red' tracks?
 
So what's the platform?
 
9:05 PM
@Zignd PC, no consoles.
 
Hum ok
 
@Zignd Check it out here. You can also get it via Steam.
 
ok
 
OH! It's still on sale on Steam!
GET IT.
@BrQAnt The expansion pack is $2 on Steam right now.
 
Picked it up yesterday.
 
9:06 PM
Yeah, me too.
I already had two of the five tracks, but I like the two red ones I've listened to so far.
@BrQAnt Hey, you up for some progress on our game[s]?
 
Oh, is it my turn?
I'll log in now

Q: Who is the best counter to anivia in lane?

KeenanAfter six she just seems to be able to farm and harass limitlessly and whenever I try to force a fight she walls me off and chunks me for half my health with her spear.

Q: Is it possible to alternate between a member of the Dawnguard, and a Vampire Lord (permanently)

user29304To whom it may concern (ie. anyone kind enough to either directly answer the question that be, or re-direct me), I, activated the Dawnguard DLC approximately three days after it's release/inception, in late June, and commenced actively playing yesterday: July fifteenth, though I had already spok...

Q: Why are kassadin and shaco always banned in solo queue?

KeenanThey are never played in tournaments and don't seem very strong in general. Is it just the free flash they get? Is it because they are countered by vision?

 
@BrQAnt Well... the turns are synchronous.
OH! There are FOUR new tracks on this! Sweet!
Aahhhhh this is fucking amazing.
 
Looks intresting
 
Heh, there are 4000 players online
 
9:09 PM
@BrQAnt ...Just out of curiosity, how many players does it show are online for you.
@BrQAnt Yeah, okay.
4716
 
Two days ago there were a few hundred.
 
That can't be right.
@BrQAnt A week ago there were 12.
It's going to be a bitch for me to log into this.
AH
@BrQAnt I may not be able to log in, it's hanging at the login operation.
 
Me too. :(
 
Too much traffic, I think.
@BrQAnt Aha, it won't work for you either?
Then the server is most likely down, there's never been and never will be that many people online.
 
@GnomeSlicE Vessel is the Flash sale for $3.74 right now... I'd recommend it.
 
9:20 PM
@Fluttershy I don't have enough, I only spend small amounts at a time through paypal, and I've spent my last $20 just a little while ago.
 
Dang
 
I've been interested in it for quite a while, though.
I just realized that The Void is the game that I remember reading about a while ago and being intrigued by, and that I got it in the last indie royale bundle or something.
yesyesyesyesyes
...Jesus Christ, 5.8 GB?
 
The Void is certainly…inscrutable
> you take c4 and plant under harkon and lord vampyr when they are taking bath one night
wat
 
Flag it.
 
9:23 PM
@Fluttershy Do you play Frozen Synapse?
 
And downvoted it too, for good measure!
 
@GnomeSlicE Never have before. Just picked it up though.
 
@Fluttershy Ah, was just gonna say, it, and the expansion pack are on sale today on Steam.
@Fluttershy Unfortunately... the servers appear to be down.
Maybe because it's the daily deal.
 
Possibly. Is it multiplayer only?
 
@Fluttershy No, there's a campaign, which I didn't finish and now have to do over because I moved PCs.
 
9:25 PM
Gotcha.
 
There's a single player campaign too which is fairly nice.
Oh, and the soundtrack is awesome.
 
15 mins ago, by GnomeSlicE
 
@GnomeSlicE I bought the Soundtrack edition. =P
 
@Fluttershy In my opinion, the DLC expansion is worth the current price of $2 just for the extra music.
@Fluttershy Ah, the 'Red' expansion comes with some new tracks though.
Six of them.
 
There's at least 20 mini-greeds in this damn level
 
9:28 PM
@GnomeSlicE Like you, I've spent all I can spend today. lol
 
@Fluttershy I have exactly $2 CAN, I'd buy you the DLC, but it won't be enough because it's in USD. And also, Steam's exchange rates are a little off.

Q: Chapter 1: Does the same Character save you at the end?

k0pernikusAt the end of the first chapter, after Larry punched me down, my Lee was saved by Kenny stating that he would not leave a good friend behind. Depending on my past actions, will it always be Kenny who saves me or does only the way he addresses me change?

Q: If a jungle toon has to be level 6 to gank properly, is he useless as a jungler?

EnderI like Skarner, a lot. But despite that, I don't understand him entirely to be honest. He has an amazingly short range, no proper initiate skill, and his CC is his ultimate. To even get his slow off you have to hit with it twice before it works. How can he jungle effectivly without any kind of ab...

 
@GnomeSlicE I've noticed that... It costs me $9.99 US to buy the same thing that costs @FAE €9.99
 
@Fluttershy Huh? Well, I tried to buy two games today that worked out to something in US which was like 20 cents less than what I had in my paypal once I converted it to canadian, and it said I didn't have enough.
So... if it uses local currency it was even further off wtf.
That means there was no exchange at all... so they robbed me.
 
I honestly have no idea, man. =\
 
9:45 PM
Whatever, it wouldn't let me buy them anyway.
 
Judas with Lucky Feet and Bloody Lust. Isaac's personality disorder is becoming increasingly worrying
 
@BrQAnt ping.
 
?
 
@BrQAnt You didn't respond to any of my steam messages.
About Frozen Synapse.
 
Lucky Feet is Cain's item. Bloody Lust is Samson's item. Cain, Samson and Judas really are Isaac in different costumes.
 
9:47 PM
oh, whoops
I didn't see your invite.
 
@BrQAnt I messaged you a bunch of times, lol.
 
I didn't get any of them
 
@BrQAnt Ah well, I pretty much said I don't think it's going to work.
The servers must be down.
Then I asked you if the non-steam version worked.
 
I've been playing single-player.
Offline, that is
 
@BrQAnt Now there are over 5000 people online. I wonder if there actually are (daily deal) or if it's broken.
 
9:51 PM
Given the number of eyeballs that the front page of the steam store can drop on a game, 5000 people playing doesn't sound unreasonable
 
It was down to like 20 people just a few days ago.
@BrQAnt Ah, the texas server worked....
So it's just the volume then.
 
Woohoo! I can finally change my name back :)
 
heh. Ultra pride is the developer himself :D
 
Also, everyone see a star symbol here ✪ ?
 
yep
 
9:55 PM
yeah
 
@QAtash ...Sort of. It doesn't really look like a star.
 
also, it's sad to die like this but I guess that's what you get for playing Judas and only getting damage upgrades
 
@GnomeSlicE As long as you don't see two question marks in a row
 
@QAtash Nope.
@QAtash Why don't you just make a custom icon?
 
Judas + Stigmata + Coal + Lust + Odd mushroom + Belial + 8 ball < 3 heart containers
 
9:56 PM
@GnomeSlicE Because it's easier to just do that instead of embedding a data uri into a script :)
 
@BrQAnt if this keeps up, we may not be able to finish our games for a while...
 
It'll probably die down by tomorrow.
 
@QAtash It would look nicer, that star looks like shit.
At larger resolutions.
 
...although I certainly could've died after using the 2 of hearts T_T
 
@GnomeSlicE Actually, I think it looks worse at smaller font sizes
 
9:58 PM
@QAtash I meant higher resolution, so yes, smaller font sizes.
 
Ah, yeah, I agree
for 1.0 of the script though, MVP is just having something there to denote it
 
@QAtash Well, you could pick something that looks better at higher resolutions.
