The Bridge

No spoilers please but...would someone please tell me The Last of Us isn't 90% stealth segments with instakill enemies and no idea where to go?

@BenBrocka The Last of Us isn't 90% stealth segments with instakill enemies and no idea where to go.

OrigamiRobot

HE SAID NO SPOILERS

Like, seriously. It's a stealth segment. That's okay. Instakill enemies? Sure. 5 instakill enemies? Alright. Pitch black? Okay, okay. But combine that with no idea where you are stealthing TO...suddenly the only logical thing to do is run around like a retard to map the area out, die and try again. That is stupid

@AshleyNunn Psh! You're so old you don't know how computers work! (Do I sound like your classmate yet?)

> BGEE was taken off of Beamdog today, the upcoming patch (including HD scaling and font improvements, which I needed) has been put into cold storage, and work on BG2EE has ceased. Sounds like one or more of the stakeholding companies is suing someone else.

Uh Oh.

Q: What do I need to do when the square symbol pops up during an enemy attack?

0

In the Last of Us, an enemy sometimes will pounce me and grapple. A sort of quick-time event popups up with a square symbol bouncing around the screen; it seems to respond to my joystick movement to position itself on the screen, but I don't know if it's true. What is this quick time event and...

@GrumpyLazers The square button seems like a logical solution. But then again, logic isn't always at the forefront anymore

@Jin Still chatbanned.

33 more days, I think?

orly? banned for what?

I don't think any of us really know for sure. <_<

Or remember. It was like 5 months ago.

Planescape: Torment installed.

@Fluttershy Don't forget to mod and patch it up

I don't know what any of that means.

Well... I know what it means. But I don't know what it entails.

@Jin There was a sockpuppeting incident.

@Fluttershy One second, I'll grab the step by step

At a very minimum, you need the res patch.

2:40 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz That one's already ended. The other was for chat stuff, I think.

@Jin want me to get hold of him for something?

@LessPop_MoreFizz That was after his chat ban, which it had nothing to do with. :P

@Mana no. i was just wondering. because i haven't seem him here in a while

@Jin Yep. He's been banned since January. :P

whoa it's been that long?

is he still on the site?

Mana

Yeah, he's still around.

Q: How can I change my Mii's voice?

0

He sounds like, as one guy on forum put it, "a dying Yoshi" and I hate it. Is it possible to change it? Some say it's based on the height, some say weight, some say color. Some said it's impossible. Testing all of those would take forever...has anyone here already figured it out?

Q: Copying non-steam FTL save to Steam

I have been playing FTL for a while, and managed to unlock all the ships. Recently, however, I managed to get a copy on steam.

@spugsley Are you implying that women have even tastier morsels that they are conspiring to withhold from us?

@AshleyNunn yes, I am curious also. I don't think it's a cat. Seems a little big imo

Q: Is there a plugin that shows a player's Steam ID upon exit?

Hello anyone who reads this. I was wondering if there was a plugin that showed a player's Steam ID upon exit. A reason this would be helpful would be in the consistent case that a player would disrupt the server, then immediately leave and rejoin with a different name. In case, you were wondering...

@spyder Reading things on Android annoys me as I often have to then read it online too

@fredley I do not know why but I've never use RSS on PC

@spyder wat

How do you read xkcd alt-text?

@fredley no rss subscribing. Sometimes I go directly to xkcd.com. And I use rss only on PDAs. My first was Toshiba G500, then HTC P3400 -> ASUS P750 -> HTC T5353 Topaz -> LG Optimus L7 II Dual

@fredley There's noone between Retrosaur 1 and Retrosaur 3, so obviously there is no need for fire. Well, aside from @kalina's spontaneous immolation.

Q: How to keep HRE at bay as a pagan (Old Gods)?

In Crusader kings I am playing as Pomerania and as a matter of making my game more interesting I decided at the start to not convert to Catholicism and stay as a Slavic pagan until the end of the game. I have managed to cut Great Moravia down to size. However in 10th century HRE formed out of Eas...

There's no way in hell MS was going to make that system as good as it sounds, it was 100% ripe for abuse

@BenBrocka As I said back then, it looked very much like a way for them to go "Hey, we offered you something, but you exploited it. Now we're gonna take it from you, you filthy pirates."

What are they doing right now? "Look, we listened to you! You don't want always-on? Well, then we can't offer you these wonderful wonderful features. ~~Sorry.~~ #DealWithIt"

11:21 AM

Yeah, it's like Sony's "activate on 5 PS3s" (which they took back down to 2) but even worse

StrixVaria

@BenBrocka I cannot comprehend. What was taken away?

@StrixVaria The family share plan and playing without the disc (which...just buy the fucking digital copy, jesus)

See, Microsoft is (again) trying to shift the blame to the people who complained.

And judging from /r/xbox, that's rather successful.

People are acting like it was the messaiah and they lost boatloads of features. Really the only difference is you need to buy digital, not disk, games to get the diskless feature, and that highly suspicious family plan won't be there

> Anyone else feel like you had a skateboard, preordered a hoverboard, and people who didnt research how the hover board worked complained enough and now you have a skateboard again? I do...

I ... just ... no.

11:25 AM

> Further proof that Twitter and Reddit are destroying the world. We just saw a beautiful digital download future where finished games could be resold/given to friends and entire game libraries could be shared across the country sacrificed at the alter of physical media. Can’t even understand why anyone would buy digital downloads now that they have no ability to be shared or resold like disc copies.

@BenBrocka Welcome to 2006. Resale of digitally distributed games has yet to be implemented in any DRM.

I don't trust any cool features from MS's side relating to DRM really. The old Xbox One was clearly designed to be able to take that shit away at any time

> Finally, Whitten could not give any reassurance that Microsoft will not change its policies in the future.

“There are our policies and we are really excited about them. By adding them we have shown that we are definitely listening,” he said.

11:54 AM

MS says no price cut, no kinect-free version of the Xbox One

Not surprised by no kinect-free version, I'm sure they promised lots of publishers that every player would have a kinect

@BenBrocka Ship it with Kinect, don't require the Kinect to use it.

@FEichinger They're almost done that. It'll have to be plugged in but you can turn the stupid thing "off" for the most part

Q: Can you leave mid mission DMC and keep my collectibles?

1

As the title says. Can I leave a mission in the middle of it in DMC-Devil May Cry and keep all the collectibles I found or do I have to finish the mission to keep it? Thanks in advance-Charkz

dmc-devil-may-cry

They don't want it removed/off entirely I'm sure because this way the game can always depend on the kinect being plugged in and just beg you to enable kinect when needed

@BenBrocka Well, you know what "off" means with Microsoft.

12:01 PM

@FEichinger It usually means "Give me that soldering iron and drill."

@MartinSojka Pretty much, yes.

Hello

What a great ad!

And you can tell the time period from the brown on orange on wood in the kitchen!

and I thought the dungarees would have given it away

because they've not been cool to wear since... forever

I just think of them as an adult bib.

I'm not sure I even understand the ad, though. "Who needs to hang around?"

Maybe that meant something else back then.

Sitting around the kitchen playing D&D sounds like "hanging around" to me

maybe it's a play on "needs", when in fact some people would perhaps "want" to hang around if D&D was involved

@Sterno you mean when you play you don't get transported to a magical realm of fantasy and wonder?

12:44 PM

Speaking of a world of fantasy and wonder...

yeah, she was definitely a big fan of D&D

I strip down to clothing that barely covers me while playing D&D as well

and massive heels are the ideal footwear for D&D

That was the 70s. She might have put more clothing on to play.

D&D is where the action is!

D&D is guaranteed to get you laid

"So, I hear you're into role-playing..."

Check out our other eye catching merchandise

12:47 PM

Now I need to look up Warlocks and Warriors. haven't heard of that one

Yup. Looks badass.

looking at that image, the first thing that pops into my mind is "YEAH! WARLOCKS AND WARRIORS!"

I think the ad missed its target demographic. The game looks like something for the 8-12 years old crowd.

That wizard in the bottom left is screwed. Never let a fighter get that close!

@Sterno wasn't Stoneskin super OP back then?

I seem to remember that it would completely ignore the next d4+(something related to level) attacks from any source

@Sconibulus Yeah, but disrupting spells was pretty much automatic back then too. So the warrior kills you on his 5th swing instead of 1st

12:52 PM

@Sterno I think it ignored the attack, not just the damage

Also, Magic Missile had instant cast time

Stoneskin (Alteration)
Level: 4 Components: V; S, M
Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 segment
Duration: Special Saving Throw: None
Area of Effect: One creature
ExplanationlDescription: When this spell is cast, the affected creature
gains a virtual immunity to any attack by cut, blow, projectile or
the like. Thus, even a sword of sharpness would not affect a creature
protected by stoneskin, nor would a rock hurled by a giant, a snake’s
strike, etc. However, magic attacks from such spells as fireball, magic

I think the act of being attacked, not taking damage, disrupted spells in 1E though.

who knows. It was 1E. Part of what rocked about it was that it didn't mind being ambiguous and letting you decide for yourself

Kids these days and their Concentration checks.

I might be remembering from AD&D

OD&D didn't have Stoneskin.

1e Unearthed Arcana did

@Sconibulus attention deficit and disorder? :p

..ooo a squirrel

12:59 PM

I just vaguely remember that my DM allowed me to build a tank mage with Stoneskin, Protection from Magic weapons, Protection from Normal weapons, Fire Shield, and Mirror Image

@kalina My squirrel, I saw it first! Get your own!
