That hail was coming down pretty hard.

Powerlord

Maven's antrun plugin isn't cooperating with me today.

@Wipqozn I'm not sure I understand those closeups of bottom-illuminated smily child faces

Is there some required creepypasta I must read before I can get it?

fbueckert

@GrumpyLazers Is this at all constructive? (Kid Icarus players)

Wipqozn

@badp The Villager is able to catch missiles and energy beams in mid air and just shove him in his pockets.

badp

@Wipqozn oh I thought that was a gun he was shooting

New Mario Kart. Seems like a given.

With...hover karts? Ok, that's new.

Dan Hulme

bleurgh

if I want Diddy Kong Racing, I know where to find it

fbueckert

Double-sided race track. Racing on walls.

Looks like they're making good use of the Wii U's extra processing power.

Powerlord

So, anyway, I saw yesterday's Microsoft and Sony press conferences. I think my favorite bit was this:

Q: True vault huntermode?

How does true vault hunter mode work? Is it free? Can I play through a new game with a new character on true vault hunter mode? I have tried true vault hunter mode so I do not know about it.

Q: where does draw something send your password to?

on draw something free I have forgotten my password and it says it has sent me my password but I am not to sure where it has sent it to does it mean Hotmail or google account?

draw-something

@fbueckert ick.

fbueckert

17:09

@AshleyNunn Ick?

badp

@Powerlord btw there is no step 2. Once you let your friend grip on the game, without letting it leave your grip, that is it.

user15026

@fbueckert hovering things usually have shit controls

badp

You both must be gripping onto the game box all the time, both hands.

Otherwise the PS4 grows arms and legs and punches you in the face.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Looks more like just changing what the cart looks like, and letting you race on walls and such.

I could be wrong about that.

Powerlord

Oh god, I just glanced over at my Eclipse window and thought I saw "REDDIT" in it.

It actually says REEDIT

FIFY

fbueckert

Oh, racing on walls only in certain parts, if a ramp lets you hit the wall.

Re: dog pokemon: Lillipup

fbueckert

@GrumpyLazers This should be NARQ'ed. It's obvious and unhelpful. And is garnering super low quality answers.

SaintWacko

@fbueckert I'm also almost certain I've seen it before

fbueckert

@SaintWacko Most likely.

Powerlord

17:24

@badp I do Java development, what were you expecting?

Dan Hulme

IntelliJ IDEA?

fbueckert

What do you mean 'no problem being solved here'? What? — GnomeSlice 4 mins ago

@Gnome: If the user had checked their emails, they'd know where it was sent to.

This is in the same effort category of plain dumb lazy.

Now, there might be something worth answering if they had said, "I checked my emails, and didn't get anything", but even there, the usefulness is questionable.

FTL: Faster Than Light, 1... 2... 3... KICK IT! (Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby), Strike Suit Infinity, Zach Zero, & Tower Wars got trading cards.

OrigamiRobot

Good, more cards to sell.

Sconibulus

Oooh, I like FTL

I like this idea of being able to use cards to fund games at rediculously low sale prices that happen sometimes

It makes some of my gaming almost self-sufficient!

OrigamiRobot

17:34

Yes but it means people are buying these cards.

Dan Hulme

This gif is actually from last year's E3, but bears repeating:

fbueckert

I sincerely hope MS loses a massive amount of money this generation. Maybe that will teach them not to treat their core market like morons.

Sconibulus

aww, I can't see the super-popular image, stupid work

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert They don't care because they make Windows.

They have plenty of money.

Sconibulus

then why are they Xboneing us?

fbueckert

17:39

@OrigamiRobot I get that, but if a department loses enough money, the morons in charge will get fired.

Sconibulus

why make an Xbone at all?

fbueckert

@Sconibulus $$$. That's why.

SaintWacko

They just like waving their xbone around all over the place

Dan Hulme

@Sconibulus Growth of Windows sales has stopped, so they have to try to grow their gaming market to avoid the share price falling.

How much money they have is irrelevant. Keeping the share price from dropping is more important to them.

Apple's new design philosophy: Poomorphism?

fbueckert

17:45

Well, if there's one thing we can count on @Gnome for, it's to defend useless questions.

And yes, it's not nice of me to say that where he can't defend himself. I'll hear about it on Steam, that's for sure.

Q: How do you properly set up a badger or pig farm?

I decided to give Towns another chance and I am now 1 year into the game. However, my badgers and pigs keep starving, even though I have made a workers group with 2 townies in it and their only assigned job is feeding. Also, there seems to be no drawback that the pigs starve other than producin...
