@Unionhawk Yeah, they definitely need accounts and cross-buy for virtual console games

@BenBrocka And all updates take forever and you are about to connect to the internet are you sure you want to connect to the internet there are other people on the internet these other people on the internet might say bad words to you on the internet because these are actual people they are not programmed by us so we can't control what they say are you extra super sure you want to do this?

the updates haven't seemed that bad, not counting the day one update, and all consoles do that now

I dohate their confirmations though

There is NO reason for there to be a confirmation for turning off the gamepad's display

poohint

but hell, at least we don't have to see the health and safety instructions in front of every single game every single time

That reminds me. I should set "health and safety information" as my favorite game on my 3DS

A friend's favorite game is Settings

Does anyone have a Nest thermostat?

Why is there suddenly so much poo on the Bridge?

@3ventic wait wait, there was a time before the poo?

...

@KevinvanderVelden Don't you remember the old times of Shit?

@3ventic GnomeSlice is playing some pooey game

@Arperum then his evil apprentice Poo took all of his power.

And @poo @boo is also making poo jokes.

poo(r) jokes

I mean @freAF:KLH:WIJADS

@Arperum I'm still trying to forget the poo, why would I want to remember the shit?

@boo store.steampowered.com/app/243280

cc @3ventic

@GnomeSlice That trailer is really annoying

@3ventic Yeah a bit. There's no narrator like that in the game though.

Should I get a 2nd monitor for $100?

@OrigamiRobot Yes.

@GnomeSlice The narrator is fine but why does he have to say "Poöf and the cursed kitty" all the time

@OrigamiRobot You should get a second monitor, full stop. $100 isn't terrible for one either.

@OrigamiRobot Yes, more than one monitor is SO MUCH BETTER

@3ventic And the way he pronounces it is really bad.

@OrigamiRobot You could get me a second monitor?

@GnomeSlice true

@Arperum GET YOURSELF A SECOND MONITOR

I honestly haven't touched my second monitor in a long time.

@Unionhawk But it doesn't really do much for me at home.

@KevinvanderVelden I should do that.

I use all 3 of my monitors near constantly

I use both my monitors all the time

and I kind of need a third

Godus getting universally negative reviews on Steam Reviews (even from sensible people!)

but I need a new graphics card before I can properly justify it

@OrigamiRobot Well then don't. I don't care. I use 2 monitors all the time.

@Unionhawk I'd use it if I got it, but I'm trying to weigh the actual benefits vs not getting one.

I'm getting more and more annyoed by my lack of a second monitor at home, I might get one in a reasonable timespan. I said that about a new PC for a year though...

@BenBrocka Wow. I wasn't expecting that.

@GnomeSlice Holy Browser Extensions Batman!

A 2nd monitor would allow me tooooo watch a video fullscreen while doing other things?

@boo Yeah... I know.

@boo I know, right?

@OrigamiRobot Yes.

@boo My extensions are why I haven't switched to Opera yet

I purged a load of mine recently

Do I really care about that?

@GnomeSlice sounds like they really shouldn't have put it to early access yet

I don't even know what all of these ones do

@GnomeSlice That's probably a sign.

Many speed, tiny boottime

That's a problem with early access, you can't put it in TOO early unless it's very clear how it will improve

Yeah, I got Godus because it was on sales and pretty cheap. Kinda disappointing so far.

@GnomeSlice Same reason!

@GnomeSlice jeah for F.lux :D

@KevinvanderVelden yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I like opera more than chrome but I need the extensions I have...

like with Android Cactus I could clearly tell some levels were just missing and some were just mock ups graphically. That's fine. But if the GAMEPLAY is incomplete...that's bad

I have two 19" screens in work and one 24" at home

@3ventic Yeah me too. I even have a paid one.

My gmail one

chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/checker-plus-for-gmail/…

I've got lopsided screens; a 17" laptop with a 22" second monitor.

Android Cactus doesnt' have any gameplay incomplete levels, just levels with mockup graphics and levels that are missing

It's not too terrible though.

@Unionhawk the horror. I have slightly mismatched screens at work

@BenBrocka Spacebase DF-9 kind of ha[s|d] the same problem, although at least what was there made me feel like if they continued down the right path it'd turn out pretty nicely.

@BenBrocka I always thought the point of Early Access is showcasing the gameplay to hook people and use the money they pay for access to fund the other stuff.

@GnomeSlice chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-mail-checker/…

@3ventic eh, checker plus is my favourite

@Yuki yeah, gameplay has to be solid. You can tweak, but people have to be able to look at it and think "this is good, I want more"

I guess I could give it a shot

I mean, nobody expects breathtaking graphics out of Early Access so it's a good way to get attention for your game if it has interesting gameplay but you don't currently have the money make the graphics hook.

@3ventic Why? Favicon does this, pin it.

@boo It is pinned but I notice that more easily.

I like the popup notifications

HTML5 notifications

Also

Since we're talking about email

inky.com

@GnomeSlice The popup is standard with Gmail I thought.

Only other early access game I have is Mercenary Kings. Aside from just being sort of thrown into the action I wouldn't really know it's early access, granted I'm not super far in it yet

@boo It doesn't do that

@BenBrocka Oooo how is that one?

It only highlights it slightly when the <title> of the page changes

@3ventic There's a setting for it I think.

@3ventic Gmail does this by itself, it's in labs

I think I'm just looking for things to buy on Cyber Monday. :/

@boo what labs

Stupid capitalism.

@OrigamiRobot I bought a TV because 'Murica

@OrigamiRobot indiegamestand.com/store/browse.php?tab=on_sale

@3ventic Settings > Labs

Actually I bought it because it's similar to the one I have in the living room and was 50% off.

Paper Sorcerer is $3, for example

@GnomeSlice did you get a JC2MP key OK? The servers were being hammered earlier.

@GnomeSlice mercenary kings? Fantastic. Metal Slug gameplay with Monster Hunter drops/crafting and Borderlands-esque silly guns

@tombull89 Yeah I got one, thanks.

@3ventic It's where all the goodness is, like undo send, mark as read button, etc

I just wish I had people to play the co op with

@boo Settings where ._.

@tombull89 Do you know if it's going to support LAN play?

@3ventic Click the cog, the cog is the settings, like everywhere

@GnomeSlice Yes, the Devs want you to be able to run your own private, offline, server.

Google is so hard to navigate in Finnish :(

@tombull89 SICK

My dad is going to love this

He loves JC2 even more than me

found it

[

@GnomeSlice See you in Panau I guess :D

Today's Listening is the result of a fascination with the sound and aesthetic of 80s electronic music and science fiction, combined with a healthy love of chipmusic and old video game sounds.

@tombull89 ;]

@tombull89 I haven't actually made it to any of the tests. Is stuff like the hot-air balloon still there in MP?

@3ventic Change it to English

@GnomeSlice There's no balloon and no civillians due to sync issues. Pretty much everything else is though.

@3ventic Shorten the words by at least half and might turn out to be doable.

If I add a pack of gum to this monitor, it's only $80 :/

What a combo!

@OrigamiRobot How does buying more results in getting it for less?

@Arperum Coupon

@Arperum capitalism

@Arperum Less, but longer words > lots of short words

$20 off a purchase of $100 pre tax. THe monitor is $99.99

@tombull89 No civilians? What's the point. =[

@GnomeSlice you can kill real people! So much more fun

@3ventic Less and shorter words> your options.

I wonder if bolopatch will work with it

@GnomeSlice because there's 1500 players in the game. Go the the Mile High Club or Panau International. You don't need AI.

@Arperum Real translations > google translate

@tombull89 I guess...

And no, gameplay mods don't work. They did, which made for...odd...issues.

I can imagine.

Have to see what happens then. I'll probably just use it to play with my Dad

@tombull89 in beta tests, I doubt that will be the case when it launches with all the servers..

@3ventic Go on then and have fun translating, I for myself play games in the original language (or english if I don't understand the original one).

@Arperum I usually use the original language

Since translations are terrible in 90%+ of the cases.

@3ventic True. That's part of the charm at the moment. We'll see what happens when there's more than one server.

source games, Steam and google are an exception

and Origin because I can't be bothered with it

it keeps resetting my language

Of course, odds are they'll tell me the coupon can't be used on the monitor.

blackfridaydeathcount.com

@RedRiderX The f--k?

What the hell is wrong with people?

What idiot gave these people guns?

is it just me?

Seems borderline spam.

@fbueckert borderline spam, though surely a scam

@tombull89 No. That's 95% certainly a scam. and will result in 512Mb USB's or something.

@Arperum Just what I was thinking.

list price of this 512GB USB drive is $1700, yours now for only $544!

But yeah that's definitely a scam. I didn't even know they had 512GB USB sticks

They're priced exactly as I'd expect though

@KevinvanderVelden Gun lobbyists, the NRA, people fanatical about the Second Amendment. I could go on.

@BenBrocka I've found a couple regular prices of €500 for 0.5TB USB's.

@BenBrocka Oooh, the 1TB one is on sale too.

This (reputable) chinese website sells 128 gigabytes for 83 dollars dx.com/p/ssk-sfd201-usb-3-0-flash-disk-black-white-128gb-253805

Why a 500GB USB flash over a 500GB USB portable HDD?

They have "dramatic speed" too, totally worth the price.

@tombull89 Smaller, quieter, more rugged

@tombull89 Because USB!

@BenBrocka easier to lose

@TimStone Dramatic can mean both slow and fast...

(sure, that HDD will be plugged into a USB port too, but noone cares).

@tombull89 Because it's more exciting to live dangerously with something you can easily forget to unplug when you leave.

"dramatic speed" actually made me double check to see if it was legit

Hah! I only have 1 HDMI port. No 2nd monitor for me.

Fucking magnets chains, how do they work?

@KevinvanderVelden Conservation of momentum

@OrigamiRobot Why are you using HDMI for monitors?

@boo specifically the physics of a wave in a string

@fbueckert Because I can.

@OrigamiRobot DVI does everything needed; HDMI is inefficient.

@fbueckert You are not helping.

It just means you need a new video card AND a new monitor.

Nope.

Two monitors are where it's at.

Or more.

If you want to be gimped, then I won't stop you.

@OrigamiRobot you can't use HDMI AND DVI? Should work fine

@fbueckert At work, sure. At home, meh.

I'm not saying stop using HDMI, you can use both just fine if you have the ports

ok, change requirements: any free mmo shooter? xD

@BenBrocka I'm saying shut your penguin mouth and let me tell myself I can't do it so I don't spend money.

@BenBrocka He's trying to talk himself out of buying the second monitor, shhh

@Meraj99 warframe =p? Or is the first person requirement not lifted yet :)

@Meraj99 planetside 2?

But it's the season to spend money

warframe's pretty cool

er, yea... except planetside 2..... but isnt warframe instance-only? xD

@OrigamiRobot Even at home, it's the bee's knees.

yeah I think warframe is isnstances

@fbueckert Nah, I don't need to look at two windows simultaneously at home.

@Meraj99 Jeah but I don't think there are other non-instance based free to play MMO shooters

screw the first-person xD

er, none? o_O

@OrigamiRobot yes, yes you do because it is awesome and productive.

Isn't...what's the name? Hawken? Isn't that a shooter?

@Meraj99 none as far as I know. It's a difficult thing to build technologically.

The only two MMO shooters I've heard of are Planetside 2 and Defiance (which costs 5€ on Steam atm)

There's WARFACE. Notable for being WARFACE the game where you play a game with a title as absurd as WARFACE. I Dont' think it's playable yet though

@KevinvanderVelden What am I being productive at at home that I need two monitors?

PS2 is generally considered the gold standard though

@OrigamiRobot internet.

Now if I could think of a good reason to set up my 2nd machine, that'd be a different story.

@KevinvanderVelden Why do I need to look at two pages at the same time?

@OrigamiRobot Gaming while chatting.

I stand corrected, Warface is live apparently: warface.com/en

@Arperum Still have to alt+tab, so that's pointless

@OrigamiRobot chat and whatever else you are looking at

@OrigamiRobot not to read

Then you can think "Oh this is irrelevant, I'll just continue gaming"

@KevinvanderVelden I can already do that.

I usually have a video on my other screen while chatting/browsing/playing a game on the other

nvm im just gonna try warframe

then if its still boring, idk what to play

@KevinvanderVelden If I'm playing a game, I'm not looking at chat even if it is in my field of view

and if I'm streaming, there's no other way for me to see the stream status and chat other than my other screen

what games do you guys play O_O

@Meraj99 Dota 2

@Meraj99 All of the games.

That's... basically it recently

Every single one

@Meraj99 Gaming is off-topic here.

whats not off-topic

@Meraj99 MTA San Andreas and anything on this list

@3ventic That'd be a great reason if I streamed.

@Meraj99 Sloths.

@OrigamiRobot not anymore it isn't

@Meraj99 Everything but games.
