3:01 PM
@Ullallulloo Route 5 is actually a route in the state I grew up in!
 
@Ullallulloo I think that road trip would be cut short at that point.
 
@Powerlord or in the long run. Are they going to VAC ban people using AutoHotKey?
 
@FAE I'm confused as to which type of freeway they're referring to with routes
 
and if they VAC ban your idle account, what's the big deal? Make a new one.
 
FAE
@Powerlord State Route 5 in NY.
 
3:03 PM
You know, @Fluttershy was strangely prescient when he warned me about the spider queen
Because that's how I died this time
 
FAE
@Powerlord It overlaps for a ways with US Route 20 so we call it "5&20" where I grew up.
 
I originally thought I-1, which is on the west coast.
 
FAE
They're probably not talking about the same Route 5 in that comic as NY's Route 5, but that's what it made me think of.
 
I mean, just where I live, I'm within 10 minutes distance of I-96, I-496, I-69, and US-127

Q: How much exp does a pet "steal"?

unorIf you have 8 people in the group (all with the same level, no pets), everyone gets exactly 1/8 of the experience points. Correct? What happens if one player casts a pet (e.g. a Druid)? Does this pet count as a 9th group member, so everyone would get only 1/9 of the total exp? (while the exp fo...

Q: How can I find the "mini collectibles" in tomb raider?

jmfsgIn every area, there are things to collect. Most of their locations you can get from treasure maps, skills that reveal them, or being close enough when using survival instincts. However, there is one type that does not appear like that. In the very first area you have to destroy wooden totems th...

 
3:06 PM
@Powerlord There is no I-1
 
@PrivatePansy I may know a thing or two about spider queens. =P I've been chased by three at once before!
 
There's an Interstate H-1 in Hawaii, but nothing on the mainland.
This list includes the primary (one- and two- digit) Interstate Highways of the United States, with cross-references to their associated auxiliary (3-digit) routes. Even route numbers are assigned to east–west routes, generally from south (e.g., I-4) to north (I-96), with coast-to-coast and other long-distance routes ending in '0'. Similarly, odd route numbers are assigned to north–south routes, from west (I-5) to east (I-99), with border-to-border and other long distance routes ending in '5'. Five pairs of numbers are duplicated throughout the system; the corresponding highways are se...
 
FAE
@PrivatePansy I had a bad time when I had one of those and a Treeguard thing chasing me at once.
 
Well, she emerged in the middle of winter at dusk. Stupidly I ran out of twigs, so no torch. I was running circles around my campfire when a hand came around and put out the fire
 
@Powerlord There's a "route 1" (no idea the technical classification of it) that runs from at least New Jersey (possibly further into New England) all the way to Florida.
 
FAE
3:07 PM
@PrivatePansy Those suck.
 
The insanity aura given off by the queen and her 12 followers would have drained the entire sanity meter in less a minute at that rate anyway, I think
 
@Ullallulloo Whoops, I guess the one I'm thinking of is California State Route 1.
 
FAE
Route 5 is never called just Route 5 where I grew up, always Route 5&20.
 
Which runs California's entire west coast
 
U.S. Route 1 is a major north–south U.S. Highway that serves the East Coast of the United States. It runs 2,369 miles (3,813 km), from Fort Kent, Maine, at the Canadian border, south to Key West, Florida. US 1 is generally paralleled by Interstate 95, though the former is significantly farther west (inland) between Jacksonville, Florida, and Petersburg, Virginia. The highway connects most of the major cities of the east coast, including Miami, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston passing from the Southeastern United States to New England. While US 1 is generally...
This one runs the entire East Coast.
 
3:10 PM
@PrivatePansy There are worse ways to go, I suppose. What day were you on?
 
@Fluttershy 27, middle of winter. And I was doing so well...
 
At least it wasn't a Deerclops!
 
I had my bush hat for that
 
Would that work? I mean... He'd likely still destroy all of your stuff, wouldn't he?
 
Oh, you and your numbering systems :P
 
3:12 PM
He just wanders around. I'm not sure if he destroys buildings while wondering, but he's definitely not aggressive if you're wearing the bush hat
I hate the fact that almost all useful weapons require hound tooth
 
@PrivatePansy Tentacle spikes!
 
lol, we have two separate Fluttershy avatars in chat...
At least 2, that is; I can't see all of the avatars (stupid work firewall)
 
@Fluttershy Which is just a better version of the spear. I had one, but it's still meele
 
Based on Google Maps, I think he lives in New Haven, CT.
 
@ShotgunNinja Just two
 
3:14 PM
"Just"
 
There's not much in terms of ranged weaponry, sadly.
 
@badp You want more? :P
 
@PrivatePansy ALL the Fluttershies!!
 
@badp Agreed
 
Once they're all close together, they'll be easier to exterminate
 
Oh wait, the European motorway numbering system follows the same pattern
 
FAE
@fbueckert Ugh, how are they surprised this would happen?
 
Somehow being reminded that you can just sort of keep straight and go from the bottom of Sicily to the top of Finland kind of blows my mind
 
@badp Is all this Schengen?
 
3:22 PM
@fredley yes
 
@FAE I'm more surprised that Sony doesn't do trophy validation.
 
@badp Awesome
 
They're pretty paranoid about freaking hard drive swapping in the PS3, so this seems a no-brainer.

Q: Aleph One saying files are in the wrong place

t3hyoshiI'm trying to get a game of M1 going and according to my logs, pasted here my Marathon scenario seems to be installed wrong. I'll submit a screenshot of the directory as well.

 
@fredley Top to bottom: Sweden - Denmark - Germany - Austria - Italy
 
3:25 PM
@FEichinger Huh. I had Sweden and Finland backwards in my mental map.
Good to know, I guess.
 
> The company is also digitizing the EarthBound Player's Guide, which shipped with copies of the original 1994 SNES title. The extensive resource will be available on the game's website, and according to Nintendo's Bill Trinen, the company has optimized it for viewing on the GamePad so it can be used as a handy resource while playing the game.
 
@badp You can also walk all the way to Shanghai, or Bangalore, or South Africa
 
Would have been nice if they just made it the "manual" that comes in the game
 
look at the timestamp
 
3:26 PM
@StrixVaria Norway - Sweden - Finland, left to right.
 
@fredley I dunno, Google Maps gives me no car directions to (say) Jerusalem.
 
either the site has terrible localization of publication dates, or it was published IN DA FUTURE
 
@ShotgunNinja What's wrong with it?
 
It's 10:26am here.
 
FAE
@ShotgunNinja I was gonna say, I saw nothing odd about it, but that's probably because it's 5:27pm here. :P
 
3:27 PM
@ShotgunNinja 1026 EDT?
 
I find it interesting that the criteria for Wikipedia's "Intrastate Interstate" list includes I-96, which doesn't end just because it hits the Michigan border... it becomes Highway 3 instead.
 
King's Highway 3, commonly referred to as Highway 3 and historically as the Talbot Trail, is a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario which travels parallel to the shore of Lake Erie. It has three segments, the first of which runs from the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor to Highway 77 in Leamington. The second portion begins at Talbotville Royal outside of St. Thomas, and travels to the western city limits of Port Colborne. The road is regionally maintained within Port Colborne as Niagara Regional Road 3, but regains its provincial designation at Highway 140. From...
 
@fredley eh, didn't the Paris-Dakar kind of stop being from Paris to Dakar?
 
@ShotgunNinja It's 10:26 here too. But it's 11:26 on the east coast. <_<
 
3:28 PM
@badp I have no idea
 
@ShotgunNinja I'm fairly certain it's just not localised at all.
 
@fredley last I heard of it a reporter was run over in a "Paris-Dakar" event... for trucks... in South America.
 
And Earthbound is out for Wii U VC.
2
Hopefully this will drive actual SNES carts into reasonable prices.
 
I wish I could link my Wii account, my 3DS account, and my Wii U account.
 
@fbueckert Still no games for VC that I want.
 
3:31 PM
@StrixVaria You need to play more Monster Hunter with us!
 
Earthbound's still unpublished in Europe I suppose? Not that I'd buy a console for it.
 
Even the robot's beating you!
 
I didn't like Earthbound. It was too haphazard. I get that some games aren't meant to take themselves seriously, but they should still at least be coherent.
 
@badp Well, there's always ROMs.
 
Earthbound was just random nonsense.
 
3:31 PM
@ShotgunNinja Yes, that's what I played until I lost the save game somewhere in Egypt
Ben provided me with savefiles in the whereabouts, but I'd lost steam already over it.
The program I was playing it with added Dropbox syncing of save files one month later
one month
 
@badp You managed to finish FF6 yet?
 
@fbueckert my Nexus 7 is in the whereabouts of Brno
 
@badp Why were you in Egypt?
 
@badp Brno?
 
Brno (; ; ; , Brin) by population and area is the second largest city in the Czech Republic, the largest Moravian city, and the historical capital city of the Margraviate of Moravia. Brno is the administrative center of the South Moravian Region where it forms a separate district Brno-City District. The city lies at the confluence of the Svitava and Svratka rivers and has about 400,000 residents, Brno is the capital of judicial authority of the Czech Republic bec
 
3:33 PM
Or was your character in Egypt?
 
@ShotgunNinja Ness was.
The point was, I was pretty far in the adventure, only two Your Sanctuary places left
(I hope the new edition of the game changes that name to something more grammatically sensible)
 
Shit, I got stuck in the desert cave just before Fourside.
 
FAE
I've still never played Earthbound.
 
I made it to Fourside, looked around, couldn't figure out where to go, then backtracked to the desert and found the pit to the dungeon.
A monkey was involved.
 
Oh, the 3rd Most Powerful thing right?
That was kinda fun.
 
3:36 PM
I have no idea.
That's as far as I got, then I lost the save file.
One of these days I'll try it again.
 
That part was more tedious than hard
 
Yeah, I'm allergic to tedium.
 
RPGs kinda are that.
 
@badp I've noticed I play less RPGs these days.
 
grindgrindgrind
That being said, the haunted town and Carpainter were hilarious.
 
3:38 PM
Of course, it doesn't help that some RPGs are turning more into interactive movies than games (I'm looking at you, Final Fantasy)
 
GRIND GRIND GRIND
LOOK WHERE YOU WERE
AND WHERE YOU HAVE ARRIVED
IT'S THE GRIND
IT'S THE LEVELS
THAT GOT YOU HERE
KILL SOME MORE RATS NOW

(I'm sorry)
 
@Powerlord Whaaaaaat? Naw.
 
Also, I stopped playing Bioshock 1 for some reason. I should continue that.
 
@badp is cool]
 
@ShotgunNinja don't encourage me before I destroy the whole song
@Powerlord oh, me too. I kinda stopped wanting to play at that part with the leaking water tunnels
 
3:40 PM
Also, there's this:
 
...mainly, I got fed up of the framerate :P
 
@badp buh
 
Well, Bioshock 1 is one of those games that doesn't play well with multiple monitors, too.
 
Oh, for sure.
 
FAE
@Powerlord Damn, really? How come? I haven't played it yet either.
 
3:41 PM
"You're running full screen? I'll show on one monitor and blank out the other one for good measure"
 
@badp So...lost? Or misplaced at someone's house?
 
FAE
@Powerlord Uuuuugh
 
@Powerlord --
 
At least with some full screen games, they'll just background themselves if you switch monitors (which is also annoying)
 
@fbueckert Warranty.
 
3:42 PM
@badp What did you do to it?
 
@fbueckert I left it on the bed. For two hours.
 
@badp ...And that broke it?
 
When I came back it was completely dead.
No normal boot, no fastboot, no plugging it in, nothing.
 
FAE
@badp I vote it was your cat.
 
@FAE ...she was sleeping next to it, but what could she have done to it?
It didn't smell anything funny.

3:44 PM
Day three on Wickerbottom. Found pig king, source of rock, grass and bees, swamp and (my favourite) Chester!
 
When I opened the back for a few moments I saw nothing obviously wrong
 
FAE
@badp Enacted revenge of course.
@PrivatePansy Yaaay!
 
Still looking for dung factory though. They're the last resource I need before pitching camp
 
FAE
@PrivatePansy No pigs around the pig king?
 
I can't decide whether or not to buy Don't Starve
I keep going back and forth on it.
 
3:45 PM
@Wipqozn 40% off isn't enough for me.
Nevermind it's 20% off now.
 
Oh right, I keep forgetting you can feed petals
 
FAE
@PrivatePansy And berries, if they're cheap enough in abundance for you. Just leave a pile in the middle of the village and they'll eat them as they get hungry again.
 
~The last thing that Neal remembers, he was... playin' a game of Zelda~

Q: When should I start my own trucking company?

ColenWhen does it make sense to start your own trucking company? I'm level 3 and can get a bank loan for enough money to buy my own truck - will I make enough money by getting the loan and starting the company now, or should I wait until I can buy the truck with my earnings?

 
@badp 40% is when it was on the daily/flash. 20% was the norm.
And that's my problem too.
I just don't know if I'll wind up playing it and enjoy it enough.
If it wa, say, $5 I'd just toss down the money and not worry.
 
3:51 PM
It'll go back to 40% the last day probably
 
but $10 is a bit more eeehhh when I'm on the fence.
@badp It will
 
It was 55% off if you found somebody to buy it with
I suggest you bother @OrigamiRobot
 
FAE
@badp The double pack is a pretty good deal.
I bought that when it wasn't even on sale at all for Jochem and I.
 
@FAE eh, that's 25% off.
 
It was buy one get one free during beta
 
3:57 PM
@PrivatePansy You can feed them carrots/berries/any fruit for manure. Not just petals. One fairly easy way is to just drop a stack and come back later. They'll eventually eat everything in the stack and poop every time.
 
@PrivatePansy the 40% off 2-pack is still cheaper than 1 full copy
 
@Fluttershy That took me a long while to figure out.
 
(.5 > .6 × .75)
 
@FEichinger Same. I was just feeding them all one at a time for days. X_x
 
I don't think animals work like that anyway
 
3:59 PM
@badp They aren't animals. They are pigmen.
 
@Fluttershy I didn't even realize you could feed them at all.
 
@FEichinger At first? Or until now? <_<
 
@Fluttershy At first.
 
Ah. Okay.
 
FAE
Ugh, I hate when I have cravings for something that's bad for me.
 
4:05 PM
That sounds like me every day.
 
@FAE Been craving icecream for two days straight. I didn't have any and I still had to take some ibuprofen last night
luckily, it was super effective
 
FAE
@badp I mean more something like a cigarette, not just like a donut or something.
 
oh.
 
user15026
@fae I hate that. I have been craving ungood for me things for days
 
damn humanhood
 
FAE
4:10 PM
@AshleyNunn It's frustrating. I'm trying to stay on top of things, but it's hard.
 
user15026
@fae I have been doing my best to distract myself. It's kinda mostly working.
 
I crave The Bridge drama. It's never good for anyone, though.
 
@Sterno It's been a relaxing few days!
 
@Sterno reddit.com/r/subredditdrama a good substitute?
 
@PrivatePansy No. Trying to read reddit makes my eyes bleed.
3
 
4:12 PM
oooh, you kind of limp around when one leg is crippled
 
Yup, and you get woozie when your head is crippled
Enemies tend to drop their weapons when their master hand is crippled
 
hrm
 
@badp It's beautiful, isn't it?
 
please don't tell me I have to re-explore the whole damn area for the one invisible dude I must've missed
@FEichinger it's neat
drinking Sunset Susparillas to heal isn't a bad idea is it?
 
@badp Nah. It's fine.
 
4:15 PM
It's one of the best items in the game, I find
Readily available, cheap, fairly potent
 
and you get a cap!
 
@PrivatePansy well, it's also for the magic caps of doom and awe
I'm sitting on a pile of 16 bottles
 
@badp Still in the REPCONN facility?
 
@FEichinger I took a break.
I thought that updating that ghoul on her gf would've completed the mission.
 
Stimpacks are ridiculously ineffective when your medical skills are low
@badp No, it just gives you access to his room
Be careful of bear traps in that room
 
4:16 PM
How do you think I got a leg crippled?
 
The "best" way to complete that quest is actually to sneak in using a stealboy and talk to the leader
But if you already attacked them then that option is off
 
@badp maybe you stepped on a mine
 
is it the jailmaster thing?
@MadScientist there are mines too around the place? awesome.
although mines give you a warning
 
@badp Not if I can remember correctly
But there are lots of them elsewhere
 
@PrivatePansy There are.
In the room with the pissy ghoul.
He trapped the whole lower level.
Mines, tripwire rifles ...
 
4:18 PM
@FEichinger the one with the incinerator right?
oh. wrong.
 
@FEichinger I thought there were only bear traps
 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
 
@PrivatePansy Nope. Those are close to the entrance. The mines are close to the computer.
 
@badp Meh, most of it is junk
 
@PrivatePansy PICK UP ALL THE THINGS
I'm already at weight limit :(
 
4:19 PM
@badp Only. Pick. Up. What. You. Need.
 
I don't actually have junk around
 
For the hundredth time, you do not need to collect every single coffee mug, asbestos cleaner and wrench you come across
2
 
It's mostly weapons and outfits
 
Keep only one set of armor
 
@PrivatePansy BUT WHAT IF I NEED TO DISGUISE
 
4:20 PM
@PrivatePansy That's what I really love about the game. It makes people hoard stuff for no reason whatsoever. :D
 
 
The revolver is pretty useless
You only need one handgun, use the 10mm to repair the special 10mm that was in the DLC
 
@PrivatePansy It's got the best DAM of my set
well. It would have that if I repaired it
 
You don't have a plasma and/or laser rifle?
 
I do, but I'm not specialized in energy weapons
 
4:23 PM
Shame. So many energy weapon there - I'm still using the plasma rifle I found in the factory
 
I have a 50 in guns and a 19 in energy guns
 
@PrivatePansy Oh sure, then I get to the fucking coffee mug dungeon and I'm all like "why didn't I get those coffee mugs?!"
2
 
@badp Ah, the opposite for me
 
@PrivatePansy There's basically no energy ammo so far
 
@BenBrocka Watch. Someone mods exactly that into the game.
 
4:24 PM
@fbueckert It's tempting.
 
@badp There is now. And you can recycle spent cells
 
@fbueckert I'd be surprised if there were no broom dungeon mod for Skyrim yet
 
I think I used a mod at some point in Fallout 3 to get unlimited carry capacity as I was always hitting the limit
 
Or you run into a Vault where the social experiment is to addict people to coffee, and only stock a tiny amount of cups.
 
@MadScientist It's definitely too low. Not way too low, but too low.
 
4:25 PM
Oh I finally found the leader
 
That Dragoness user seems awfully familiar in her question phrasing and content...
 
@MadScientist I didn't have hoarder's syndrome. I did hoard all the ammo, but those being weightless it didn't matter
 
@Fluttershy Eh? To who?
 
@fbueckert Young Guilo.
 
By the time I was halfway through the game I only had to carry three guns (laser rifle, plasma rifle, and a conventional weapon just in case the ammo really ran out), and a bunch of mines
 
4:27 PM

@Fluttershy <3
 
@Fluttershy I'm not convinced; they asked a super crappy question earlier this morning, and self-deleted it.
 
4:32 PM
@fredley excellence. Excellence is going on there
 
How do I not die?
They are laughing at me
 
@fbueckert I was just pointing out the similarities. Still seems a tad suspicious to me.
 
@Fluttershy I agree. There are similarities, but I don't think there's enough evidence.
Now, if after Young Guilo gets back, and upvotes all of their stuff, then I think we have a pretty convincing case.
 
@fredley Use the menu
 
@fbueckert The only two questions we ever got for Happy Jump just so happen to be both using the Kindle Fire? Very suspicious to me.
 
4:35 PM
Oh it's an Art Lebedev thing
 
There's a "Prior" link at the bottom
on the "game" itself
 
I still can't win the game
 
@FEichinger That and the fact that she appears, asking questions about the same game with the same format, a day after his other sockpuppet was removed...
 
@fredley It might just be elaborate Russian humour :P
...
speaking of which, what happened to Conclave?
 
I guess they rated Earthbound "teen" this time around
Aside from Giygas I'm not really sure why, especially with all the "cafes"
 
4:44 PM
@Wipqozn @fbueckert @redriderx There's a bunch of new quests on playconclave.com. What says you?
 
@badp Your face happened. There were no survivors.
 
@BenBrocka Somebody failed to set it on fire.
 
the eShop trailer for Earthbound is actually pretty good (not that you should need to watch it to buy it )
 
@badp Ooh!
 
Oh FFS. Second time my berry farm has caught fire
Must remember to set up lightning rod faster next time
 
4:51 PM
@FEichinger I think that's straining coincidence a little too far.
I think if there was some credence to it, our ban-happy mods would've smacked 'em down already.
 
Please keep in mind that multiple accounts per se are not bannable
There needs to be voting abuse for it to become a problem
 
@PrivatePansy I love the idea of some guy just milling around a big berry orchard and then the berries just burst into flames. "Aw dangnabbit not again."
 
@BenBrocka This time it was lightning. The last time I built it too close to a forest I was setting on fire for charcoal
 
@PrivatePansy setting a forest on fire for charcoal seems like a minor overreaction
 
@badp Or if they're circumventing a current ban.
 
4:55 PM
(the tf2 wiki proper is down)
 
@fbueckert Which is difficult to prove, unless we know for sure that it's the same person.
 
@Fluttershy Indeed.
 
@BenBrocka I think I picked up my arsonist habits from kalina
