12:00 AM
@Wipqozn Oh, okay.
 
I dunno, I've seen a lot worse f2p business models out there
 
@badp Can you run out of room?
@badp Eh. As I said, something about it just bugs me.
 
@GnomeSlice without premium your backpack can only hold 50 objects
 
@badp Like PvZ Adventures.
 
That Battlefield thing from EA that's now been shut down only let you rent weapons
 
12:00 AM
@badp My what
 
@fbueckert Fucking EA.
@badp ..what? Seriously?
 
@Wipqozn yes
 
That's an EA Facebook game. Wasn't bad, until I got far enough to require either inviting friends, or paying cash.
I stopped playing at that point.
 
Blacklight Retribution does the same I think
 
12:01 AM
(it consistently refused to run on my computer so I only know by proxy so it could be wrong)
then there's F2P games with energy
like Spiral Knights or everything King does
 
@badp Eugh. Energy.
The worst game mechanic ever invented.
 
@GnomeSlice This doesn't look like I would enjoy it at all.
 
@fbueckert they argue that casual gamers actually like it because they let them say "okay I'm done with this, I can put it down and do something else"
 
@badp Their argument is bunk. It's, "Hey, you're having fun! Awesome, isn't it? Too bad! Pay us to keep having fun!"
 
12:03 AM
@StrixVaria Well, I was mostly basing it on what appeared to be an interest in the random stuff like Rogue Legacy
Because it's a 'roguelike' in that regard. Way different style from most though.
 
@fbueckert It's actually more fun to fail level 147 of Candy Crash sixty times over a bunch of days than it is to fail it sixty times in a row
 
@badp I'd argue a mechanic that requires you pay to continue playing is bunk.
 
@badp Spiral Knights' F2P model was so painful.
 
Arcades get a pass because they've basically all died.
 
TF2 update that... slightly buffs the QuickFix to be able to keep up with pyro detonator jumps
@fbueckert Well it's actually more fun to be able to pass that level without resorting to microtransactions :P
BUT I DIGRESS
 
12:07 AM
@GnomeSlice Aww, they got rid of their demo.
It was pretty cool, it actually made me want to buy it.
I wouldn't have considered it otherwise.
Oh, Broforce got greenlit.
That's neat.

Q: What does vsync mean?

ruda.almeidaIn a few games (Osmos and Batman Arkham City are examples) there's a vsync item on the video options menu, but I don't know what it does and don't notice any differences when it is on or off. What is vsync? What does it do?

 
\o/
 
My father disabled my internet. Peace. ~Phone
 
nite
 
Wait, it's back. Just now.
@RedRiderX Wow, that was fast.
@RedRiderX Say, have you seen this? indiedb.com/games/bloodcrusher-ii
 
12:22 AM
@GnomeSlice Eerh, yeah I think so, can't say I had a huge interest in playing it. :P
 
@RedRiderX I didn't at first either. But it actually has grown on me a shitload.
Random gun generation with a giant number of parts.
Random levels
It ended, but you should try the demo.
 
@GnomeSlice Hmm, sounds like Quake with some modern fixings. Neat.
 
@RedRiderX Did Quake do random stuff?
Also, bullets are simulated physically, no hitscans or whatever.
It's styled after over the top shooters from the 90's
The trailer says 'coming 1997' =]
 
@GnomeSlice Well I used Quake as a placeholder for any pre-2000 FPS.
 
@RedRiderX HAH. Yeah, that's the general idea, actually.
The devs are pretty great to. They post gifs of all kinds of dev stuff. Like this.
@RedRiderX Here's a sample of 'Tier 1 Scattergun Generation'
And I really like the way the dev explained the randomization.
 
12:28 AM
@GnomeSlice Hmm, nice. It seems like they're doing a lot right.
 
@RedRiderX Yeah. Like I said, it really grew on me after digging into it a little more.
At first I was like 'lol'.
Also they've expressed interest in an IGS feature in the future.
\o/
 
@GnomeSlice Also seems like they're doing stuff right. :)
 
@RedRiderX You should try the demo for Moon Rift though, you might really like it. Disappointed to find it's not coming to GameStick, and I probably won't be using the OUYA copy my backer reward comes with.
@RedRiderX They are the best.
 
@GnomeSlice You seem like the most active person on IGS.
 
@RedRiderX I think I'm third in terms of forum posts.
I'm also a forum moderator. They really like me.
IGS is basically my new Arqade chat.
Or at least it was for the past few months.
The IRC channel has all sorts of good people.
 
12:32 AM
@GnomeSlice Oh, they have IRC?
 
@RedRiderX Also, have you seen/played desura.com/games/running-with-rifles
@RedRiderX Yeah. It's a community operated channel. Do you use IRC?
If you care to drop in.
 
@GnomeSlice Sometimes, yeah.
 
Man, the NEO Scavenger Dev just doesn't quit. I'm getting Desura notifications about new posts and features like every two days.
 
@GnomeSlice There are many games I have not played, and this is one of them.
 
@RedRiderX Oooo, you should try the demo.
It's really fresh. I picked it up a while ago.
Should give it another go, been a few versions since then.
Also, Megabyte Punch is officially releasing soon!
August 6th!
=D
 
12:36 AM
@GnomeSlice Hurray for that.
 
@RedRiderX Shame they couldn't get greenlit in time, but still.
Final update coming the launch date for pre-owners.
Such as myself
 
Ok, let me try one...
Have you seen Action Fist?
 
Oh yes.
 
Darn.
 
Hah, sorry.
 
12:38 AM
 
@GnomeSlice It is sort-of a local multiplayer thing.
 
@RedRiderX This feels like it would be a similar multiplayer experience to Quadsmash
Which is an excellent, excellent thing.
 
@GnomeSlice Hah, great name.
 
@RedRiderX Oh my goodness try the demo
It's actually amazing.
Quadsmash (above) is still probably the best local multiplayer game I've ever played.
I'm gonna download Blitz Meet and try it with my Quadsmash buddy
Thanks.
 
12:41 AM
@GnomeSlice It's sort-of a sharing-a-computer local multiplayer.
And also very limited in scope.
 
@RedRiderX Check out the video I just posted above.
Any similarities?
 
@GnomeSlice Shucks, this seems better...
 
@RedRiderX It's also not free. =]
400 points on Xbox live, or about $10 for the PC version (which admittedly, is apparently getting online play at some point).
Oh it dropped to $7.99
Nice
Surprisingly the single player campaign is quite good too
 
@GnomeSlice Yes I saw the last link.
I must try again...
 
@RedRiderX Oh did I link it already
 
12:45 AM
How about Cannon Brawl?
 
@RedRiderX Heard of it, but never played.
 
@GnomeSlice Play the early alpha demo thing, it's surprisingly good in multiplayer.
 
@RedRiderX local or what?
Also how big is it
too many games x_x
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah local.
@GnomeSlice I know.
You are recommending too many things
 
Figures, I only registered enough stuff to get Gold the one year Nintendo has something I want for Platinum.
 
12:46 AM
STAPH
 
HAH
 
Shtap?
 
@RedRiderX I'd better not link you to this then. =D
It's 'stahp'.
staaaaaaap
 
@GnomeSlice Oh.
@GnomeSlice STAHP
@GnomeSlice Probably too big to be worth it right now, honestly.
 
@RedRiderX That's not what I like to hear. =[
 
FAE
12:50 AM
@GnomeSlice lol context
 
Unless you have a likin' for some fast-pased Worms-esque action.
 
@FAE HAH
 
@FAE Curse you context, you fickle mistress you!
 
@GnomeSlice It's like 185.45mb, so you can judge that for your self.
 
12:53 AM
@RedRiderX ergh, I'll pass for now until it comes along a little further maybe
 
FAE
My steam level went up and I have no idea why...
 
Bergh I wish you could preview steam profile backgrounds on the market
Oh well, this looks okay I guess
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice same
 
Also:
CC @badp @AshleyNunn
 
FAE
12:56 AM
@GnomeSlice Which one is that?
 
@FAE Either that or the Great Gabe is smiling upon you.
 
FAE
@RedRiderX I was 13 yesterday, I'm 14 today and I dunno why. I haven't bought any games to put me over the threshold nor crafted any badges.
 
9 mins ago, by RedRiderX
@GnomeSlice STAHP
 
@RedRiderX I thought you were joking. Sorry!
 
12:57 AM
@GnomeSlice Wait is that Portal with Escher like physics?
WANT
 
@RedRiderX There's no portals, no.
It is a first person puzzle platformer though.
 
@GnomeSlice No it's cool mate.
 
Eh, Little Racers is pretty good and SpyLeaks is sort of neat, but otherwise meh
 
@GnomeSlice DO NOT WANT
 
@RedRiderX Yeah, not a great one

Q: What does telling Whirlwind about Vessel Town affect?

YawusOn my way back to Tharsis after discovering Vessel Town, I rushed through the dialogue so I could talk to the Count. On accident, I clicked "Yes" when given the option to tell Whirlwind about Vessel Town. Does this affect the story later on? I received a Medica II, which I hardly believe is worth...

Q: Are there certain items that you should always sell?

StephanI see that some items "have on research benefit and can be sold freely" If i sell these will I regret it later or can I sell them without worrying?

Q: My follower is gone and I cant recruit a new one

CooiejrIm trying to do the boethiahs calling quest and I need a follower for it of course to sacrifice. But whenever I ask someone to be my follower they say i already have one, this is a problem because I dont have a follower. I had a dark brotherhood follower a month or two ago but I lost her and have...

 
The last one was fucking amazing
@RedRiderX Try the free current version
I wish Bleed would hurry up and get a Steam badge called The Greatest Hero of All Time
@FAE They changed the XP for game collector badges
apparently
And people got bumped up.
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice Oooh okay, that makes sense.
 
Source:
So I have no idea how reputable it is
 
FAE
Eh, I'll take it.
And sleeptime, g'night all.
 
^ That one is really fun, but still slightly buggy
@fbueckert does the steam version of KSP keep your data from your original?
 
1:14 AM
@GnomeSlice Hey, I just said that!
@GnomeSlice Yes, I know I should have got the last IGS.
@GnomeSlice And HAH, You've already recommended that to me!
@GnomeSlice It's an interesting take on the concept, but in need of some polish.
@GnomeSlice Wow, you ping me a lot.
@GnomeSlice You never want to be that guy that leaves like a hundred pings for someone when they get back.
@GnomeSlice That would just be annoying.
 
@RedRiderX ಠ_ಠ
@RedRiderX I don't see it
 
32 mins ago, by RedRiderX
 
@RedRiderX oop
Hah
 
Hrm, I seemed to have missed placed ChatZilla.
And now it seems like it doesn't like running outside FireFox.
 
1:29 AM
@RedRiderX Lemme try again, desura.com/games/crayon-chronicles
 
@GnomeSlice Already bugged me about getting it during the last Indie Royale.
 
@RedRiderX Hah, that's actually what I was referring to by 'try again' (past bundles/deals).
Nuts.
Did you get it?
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah no actually.
To many rougelikes on the spin to get sucked into another.
And I still haven't tried that first game you recommended.
 
@RedRiderX Heh
@RedRiderX Which
I lost track
@GraceNote Also, I've been meaning to recommend you play this at some point: croixleur.com
Has some controller input issues though, unfortunately. Although they're pretty minor
 
1 hour ago, by GnomeSlice
@RedRiderX also http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/843950213/moon-rift
 
1:33 AM
@RedRiderX Oooh. Yeah the demo is pretty lightweight, you should download.
back in a bit
Okay, not as long as I thought.
 
Oh wow this is pretty slick.
 
@RedRiderX Moon Rift?
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah.
 
@RedRiderX Yeah it's not bad huh? Too bad it's not coming to GameStick =[
I've basically decided that's the one I want over the OUYA, but the OUYA's getting all the attention and developers.
 
@GnomeSlice There are only so many empty markets devs can port to.
 
1:41 AM
@RedRiderX Was that supposed to be a reply to that?
 
HI CHAT
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz HELLO.
 
I showed up in town ten minutes after the bar closed and now I am sad. :(

Q: Resurrect A Lost Religion

DomI founded a religion in my capital (Buddhism). After another civilization converted my city to their religion, I used an Inquisitor, thinking it would remove the other civilization's religion. However, I was wrong.... very wrong. Now, when I refer to my Religion Overview, it turns out no other...

Q: What clients exist for playing the Realms of Despair?

StephenAs MUDs run over telnet I realize that any telnet client can be used to log in to the Realms of Despair, however there are more feature rich ways to experience the game. What clients are available for Windows 7/8 or the major Linux distributions? What are the major highlights of each?

Q: How do I update to NG+ on steam?

Jackie JackHow do I update the game to NG+? I have tried pretty much nothing so I really could use some help.

Q: Help Me Identify This Old School FPS

brain56I only played the demo, so I'm basing my question on that. The player's default name is Dead Meat The player gets to control a car rigged to the teeth with guns and cannons The player explores the world in an open-world-esque style The player can get out of the car and go on foot, shooting badd...

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz =[
@LessPop_MoreFizz Also you are a fan of Fallout correct?
 
1:42 AM
@GnomeSlice Yarp.
 
@RedRiderX I don't get it then, which thing are you calling an empty market, and what does what I said have to do with porting?
@LessPop_MoreFizz Also welcome back.
 
The Ouya is a tiny bit DOA, I don't imagine the GameStick will be faring much better.
 
To me, that is.
@RedRiderX Which is a shame, because it actually looks like a much neater package to me.
 
@GnomeSlice Very much so.
 
I've been getting extremely excited for the GameStick.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I think you should take a look at underrail.com
 
1:44 AM
@GnomeSlice True, but eventually slicing niches of niches results in nothing left.
 
@RedRiderX I'm hoping it will take off with Indies. Plus, GameStick has a deal with GameStop in the works, so you can expect to see them promoting it at their stores.
 
@GnomeSlice I don't have the patience to play unfinished games. I like to binge on a game until I've done everything there is to do and then uninstall and forget about it for a long time.
The main exception is MMO betas, where I get heavily into the actual testing of mechanics and such.
 
@GnomeSlice It's not like they need to worry about it taking up too much room on their shelves. :P
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Heh. If you grab it now you'll get the full version, but I totally get that. Also I find this game very confusing, I was never great at stuff like Fallout.
It's very good though.
I entered a couple of designs into the Gamestick 'skinit' competition and they're getting pretty highly voted. They might get selected.
 
why do people put music on their tumblr
it's just annoying
 
1:48 AM

HOW TO TF2
 
user20683
 
@GnomeSlice for me, Gorillaz
 
user20683
"John Morillo, a 47-year-old Canadian man, apologized today for causing an international incident last night when he drank eight beers and then swam across the Detroit River, just to prove to his friends he could."

CC @2____
@WorldEngineer Windsor is the best.
 
sick album art
 
Give it a listen, it's fantastic. One of the few full-price albums I've bought in recent memory because I'm a cheap bastard.
Shoulda bought the disc
Also this is the artist: androidjones.com

Q: Dell Dimension 9200 Bottleneck

user2277720I just recently gotten a used Dell Dimension 9200. I am using it for gaming. The problem I am having is when playing games like GTA IV,etc they tend to lag/slow down in performance. I am wondering if it could be bottlenecks in the machine causing this problem. I'm not sure if that is a bottleneck...

 
I bought The xx physical album (for the art of course ;)) and right away the intro got scratched thrice :((. I want a refund but the store is out of my state.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Also have you been watching the new SW NY?
@2____ Scratched?
 
1:57 AM
thrice
 
Like, your disc?
Shit.
 
I want to get Yeezus in physical copy currently
for the art of course
 
I think so far the only physical copy of an album I've ordered online was ottsonic.bandcamp.com/album/mir
Also a very, very good album.
 
@GnomeSlice Occasionally, but not really.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Aren't you like, from NY and stuff
 
1:59 AM
@GnomeSlice Yes.
And the people on that show are insufferable local stereotypes.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah I kind of noticed they're all douchebags.
