@fbueckert You think about this way too much.
@Sterno I guess.
 
@agent86 Ketchup? Mustard? Not... gasp... mayo?
 
So self-answer about boobs more? I can do that.
 
@Sterno @kalina was the queen of Googled answers.
 
@Sterno Who hates boobies?
 
It'd be funny if politicians hassled people about votes like internet commenters do. Romney running down the streets WHY YOU DOWNVOTE ME
 
8:00 PM
@Sterno mayo and a bit of miracle whip
 
@3ventic People are strange.
 
@3ventic @GnomeSlice just thinks they're ok.

Q: Do Costumes Affect Breast Physics?

GnomeSliceI've noticed that some of the female characters have two widely different costumes available. Do any of these different costumes have an impact on character breast-physics? The most obvious example would be Hilde who wears a suit of armor in her default costume, but not in her secondary costume...

 
@fbueckert Meh. He really needs to stop caring about rep.
 
@OrigamiRobot I think they are amazing.
28 downvotes
 
8:01 PM
@fbueckert Oh I knew I forgot to do SOMETHING today...
 
@GnomeSlice You just have to walk the careful line, because if you go too far you get banned and that's minus a lot of rep.
 
+46
-28

Nice.

@BenBrocka :P
Heh.
 
Aug 21 at 21:09, by GnomeSlice
@tugs I like boobs okay.
 
@OrigamiRobot I like them, okay?
 
8:01 PM
@GnomeSlice Sure, but you suck at punctuation.
 
I don't think they are okay.
 
@GnomeSlice That's not what you said before, okay?
 
@FEichinger Nah, I just think everything sounds more entertaining without it.
 
I think tits are amazing.
@BenBrocka ;_; GAMESTICK
 
8:02 PM
 
I heard this earlier.
So unfair
 
Wonder if they paid Telltale or what, doesn't make much business sense
unless they're planning to take it to android in general
 
@GnomeSlice Isn't the GameStick Android-based as well?
 
@BenBrocka Well they did get like a million dollars in their second kickstarter to pay off developers...
@FEichinger Yes, but nobody is porting to it or developing for it.
They're all heading for the shitty OUYA
 
Yeah but if you put it on Ouya, porting it to the Play Store is just common sense unless it requires physical controls
 
8:04 PM
@BenBrocka It's already on iOS, so they should be golden.
 
@GnomeSlice Adapt OUYA's input scheme, and there you have it for every other Android device that's reasonably capable of it.
Which, in the case of TWD, is probably every Android device nowadays.
 
@FEichinger Input? You mean the controller?
 
@JasonBerkan Oh really, didn't know that. Bet it will be going on Play then
 
Or are you talking specifically about the touchpad thing
 
@GnomeSlice The OUYA does have a controller, doesn't it? Whatever signals it sends, different devices just need to replicate them properly - either in a meta layer or in the application itself.
 
8:05 PM
SCREW OFF SPAM FILTER
 
@GnomeSlice Yes, but {button} on the OUYA, and {button} on the Gamestick/AnyAndroidDeviceEver might have different signals attached. If those signals are piped to the app differently, there might be conflicts there.
 
I need a userscript to change everything @GnomeSlice says to a random combination of "boobs", "indie", or any random swear. I think the experience would be mostly the same.
2
 
I'm saying might, because I'm sure as hell not touching either devkit.
@OrigamiRobot Likely.
 
@FEichinger The OUYa controller has a touchpad too.
 
@GnomeSlice So? The inner workings could be completely different, is what I'm saying.
 
8:09 PM
@OrigamiRobot FUCK NEW INDIE BOOBS GAME
5
 
@OrigamiRobot boobs/tits
@BenBrocka ಠ_ಠ
 
@OrigamiRobot It also needs to pull random links from places like Steam Greenlight, Indiestand, etc.
 
@GnomeSlice I'd play it
 
@FEichinger No I know, but I don't think it would be easy to port stuff using the touchpad to the gamestick.
 
@Sconibulus Good idea.
 
8:10 PM
@FEichinger But I get what you mean about everything else, which is why I can't understand why nobody is porting to both
@Sconibulus Indie Game Stand
 
@GnomeSlice That puzzle game thing you linked before looked interesting. Let me know if it makes it to Steam.
 
@GnomeSlice I'm guessing they effectively are, with the controller input is piped through a meta layer on both. It's just that they aren't selling it on the other. Which might be Ouya's bullshit exclusivity deals at work.
 
@StrixVaria Great Permutator? Or Sokobond
 
Oh crap I had a question I meant to close open in a tab for the last 3 hours
 
8:11 PM
@GnomeSlice Great Permutator.
 
@FEichinger Ugh, OUYa is the worst.
@StrixVaria You should try the demo. Also get it on Desura.
 
@BenBrocka Cool.
 
@StrixVaria Also you could upvote it on Steam Greenlight
 
@GnomeSlice I have no interest in getting games for platforms other than Steam.
 
@StrixVaria lol
 
8:12 PM
I am constantly logged into Steam and forget other sites exist. If I don't get it on Steam, it's definitely wasted money, rather than probably wasted money.
 
@StrixVaria Desura has a client like that too, plus you can add non steam games to your steam library. Sinec Desura things are DRM free, you can do it with games bought in Desura
 
Can low rep users suggest tag wiki edits?
 
@StrixVaria I also buy my games almost exclusively on Steam or for Steam (Humble Steam key etc)
 
The Desura client is still kind of slow and shitty though
The website is fantastic
 
@GnomeSlice Adding a non-Steam game to the Steam library is lame.
 
8:14 PM
@StrixVaria Eh, lets you take screenshots. And steam chat
 
In any case, I don't really feel the need to fully justify my decision, although I would appreciate if you do let me know if that game makes Steam.
If not, whatever.
I'll find other games to play.
 
@StrixVaria I already said I would.
I thought.
 
@BenBrocka I believe so, yes.
 
I'm getting hopelessly optimistic about Reaper of Souls, too.
 
Oops, no I didn't.
 
8:15 PM
@StrixVaria Me too.
 
This better not crush me like Diablo 3 did.
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, sure I will. I suspect it will take a while though, Greenlight is a terrible shitty thing.
 
It took me so long to admit to myself that Diablo 3 wasn't very good (at launch).
@GnomeSlice Yeah, Greenlight is ass.
 
@GnomeSlice I've read this before. You probably linked it once.
 
8:16 PM
@StrixVaria I am still convinced that the AH being down at launch was the start of the snowballing economy problems.
 
@StrixVaria I probably linked it twice.
 
For commodities at least.
 
@OrigamiRobot It's a bad game and you should stop playing it.
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm not sure about that.
Once the AH came up it should have equalized over time to the same state it would have been if the AH was up all along.
Yes, when the AH first came up, it was bad.
 
@StrixVaria It gave everyone long enough to hoard items and undercut each other and the price never went up.
 
8:17 PM
I have zero interest in D3 if you can't play it offline
Also I have Torchlight 2, so I'm good.
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't think the AH is the issue, though. The lack of item/gold/gem sinks was the issue with the economy.
 
And Krater.
Krater is such a pretty game.
 
@StrixVaria Greenlight is ass and a half. It's easier to put your game on a console than Steam at this point

Q: In what way are Minecraft Resource Packs (Texture Packs) hardware intensive?

EnderIf I want to run a resource pack, but it lowers my framerate, is there a specific upgrade I would need to off-set the problem or a general one? IE: Do they only use ram to load and run, or is it a combination of ram and processor?

 
Valve is terrible.
I don't really like them at all any more.
 
8:18 PM
@GnomeSlice Oh. "I Get This Call Every Day" is the name of a game.
 
Valve is good, Greenlight is terrible.
 
@GraceNote Yeah, whoops.
 
@GraceNote I had the same reaction
 
@StrixVaria That's only a problem for people with tons of money.
 
@3ventic Valve is eeeehhhh
@BenBrocka Had you not heard of it before?
 
8:19 PM
@BenBrocka I remember having this problem back when this article was first pointed out, but at the time I was too lazy to read so I never figured it out until now.
 
@GraceNote =P
 
@OrigamiRobot Economy sinks are important at all levels in a game where you can generate new currency.
 
@GnomeSlice Is it the tech support simulator thing?
 
Money needs to go away at about the same rate that it's created or bad, bad things happen.
 
@BenBrocka Yeah.
 
8:20 PM
@StrixVaria I'm saying commodities should have been a place to start making money and that was never a thing because there was already a huge surplus by the time you could sell them.
 
@OrigamiRobot We can also blame the crafting system on that. Crafting was ass at first, so there was no demand for commodities.
 
@BenBrocka Do you have an OUYA?
 
In a balanced system, the commodity price would have been low at the start, but would rise over time as they left the economy.
 
More trades would have led to more gold being eaten in fees.
 
I get a free copy of moon rift on OUYA when it launches because I backed it but no gamestick
so you can have it
@StrixVaria In a balanced system you can play offline.
 
8:22 PM
@GnomeSlice No. I was almost about to buy one to make reviews for youtube, but thenI saw the sales numbers and figured there's no way the reviews would get enough views to earn back the cost of the Ouya/games
 
@GnomeSlice Offline Diablo has no economy.
 
I think I'd need like 100k views to make back the Ouya's cost or something? I just don't see it happening if people barely even buy Towerfall, its' best (timed) exclusive
 
@OrigamiRobot Balance is restored.
@BenBrocka Miniboss is so good. By the way, have you played Out There Somewhere?
 
@GnomeSlice Have you even played D2?
 
@OrigamiRobot Nope. I played Torchlight though
 
8:23 PM
@GnomeSlice Not even remotely similar.
 
@StrixVaria I watched some videos of Diablo 3 and it looks pretty similar to me
 
@GnomeSlice Then stop talking about Diablo's economy.
 
@GnomeSlice No; looks kinda interesting tohugh. But I need to play Bleed and a bunch of other stuff...
 
@GnomeSlice How does D3's similarity to Torchlight have anything to do with D2?
D3 and D2 are ridiculously different games.
That's one of the reasons D3 gets so much hate.
 
@BenBrocka Oh dude. Okay. Out There Somewhere is one of those games you have to play.
@StrixVaria Oh, I didn't know that. Cool.
@OrigamiRobot You talk about me and you don't know me! ಥ_ಥ
 
8:25 PM
D3 is much more "polished" than either Torchlight game.
The combat is much cleaner and more satisfying in D3.
 
@StrixVaria I didn't find them lacking in polish, what do you mean?
 
@GnomeSlice I only talk about what I know.
 
@GnomeSlice Torchlight 1/2 were fine, but D3 is better at combat.
 
@GnomeSlice I've added it to an increasingly long list...maybe some day I can youtubes full time and actually burn through all of these...
 
D3 has other flaws, which come to the surface when you're at end-game for a while.
I never bothered with any end-game stuff in TL, so I can't compare.
 
8:26 PM
@BenBrocka put it on the top
it's really good
 
I like that D3 tried a new skill system (I think being permanently locked to a skill tree you picked while leveling up is a terrible system), but I don't think it worked.
 
@StrixVaria I think there's not enough items that improve skills.
 
@OrigamiRobot Are there items that improve the game?
 
I think the skill system itself is fine and better.
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm trying to think of how they could fix it.
It's hard to put my finger on what exactly feels lacking in the skill system.
@OrigamiRobot What do you think of the synergies they added in D2?
 
8:29 PM
Wheeee, getting my postal vote documents in a couple of days.
 
@StrixVaria Much of it is the absolute generic-ness of the characters.
 
IMO synergies destroyed a lot of potentially interesting builds.
 
@OrigamiRobot Wow, your chat history seems to support this.
Dammit.
 
@StrixVaria It helped the game, but didn't increase build diversity.
 
There's nothing you can do to distinguish your character from any other.
 
8:29 PM
@fbueckert You mean other characters in the same class?
 
@fbueckert Armor?
 
@StrixVaria Yeah.
 
@fbueckert That's the way it was in D2.
 
In D2 you got a few choices depending on what class you went.
 
@OrigamiRobot I had a bow on my paladin in D2, and a sword on my sorceress
 
8:30 PM
@StrixVaria Two, maybe three.
 
@tugs You also weren't doing Ubers with those builds, though, I guarantee.
 
@OrigamiRobot D2 had only some specific viable builds, which, if you didn't build, you were gimped.
 
@BenBrocka you should get a gamestick
 
@StrixVaria Perhaps not, but I was playing the game
 
D2 build: Exactly enough strength to use your BiS gear, and Vitality.
 
8:31 PM
If you were a paladin and weren't a Hammerdin or a Smiter, what were you even doing?
 
@OrigamiRobot Hammerdin? I have never heard of that.
 
...oh. Right. It's been so long since I listened to this song that I forgot that a specific point in the song sounds exactly like a chat ping plonk.
 
@tugs Yeah, and D3 lets you play through using pretty much whatever build you want as well. But once you get to end game, your options get really limited really fast. It would be great if that weren't the case.
 
@StrixVaria That's why I'm perfectly fine with stat allocation being automatic in D3
 
@GnomeSlice You haven't played D2.
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, I have no issues with that.
 
8:32 PM
@StrixVaria Oh, it's something they made up? Makes sense I guess.
Can you be a crime solving rank 11 Hammerdin?
 
@GnomeSlice my hammerdin was at least rank 13
 
@GnomeSlice It's just a Paladin who uses the skill Blessed Hammer. There are other portmanteaus like Bowazon and Javazon for Bow-using Amazon and Javelin-using Amazon.
 
Hammerdin: 20 points in conviction and its synergies, 20 points in Blessed Hammer and its synergies, the rest in Holy Shield (or w/e it was called)
 
I think my Paladin build was probably dumb as far as end-game builds, if I think on it.
 
8:34 PM
@tugs Too high. =[
 
@OrigamiRobot I thought they nerfed its interaction with Conviction.
I never liked using archetypes.
I built a charge-lock Paladin.
 
@StrixVaria A Smiter?
 
My main focus was on Holy Lightning and I think Charge and Zeal.
 
@OrigamiRobot No. Charge, vigor, and zeal.
 
Zealadins used to be viable builds.
 
8:35 PM
Charge knocked back, and by the time you recovered you were hit with another charge. I repeated in a straight line until you hit a wall, then zealed you.
It was a PvP build, though, not PvM.
 
I don't know when they got nerfed.
 
I actually remember that nerf
 
My D2 experience every ladder: Build an MF Sorc (cold), use that to fund an MF hammerdin, use that to fund a Smiter, farm ubers and anni till bored.
 
This looks pretty amazing.
 
@GnomeSlice boobs
 
8:38 PM
@OrigamiRobot The most invested I ever got in the end-game was with a tank Barb to distract enemies while my fire sorc friend killed everything with meteors.
I remember fighting Uber Diablo once and his Armageddon healed me.
 
@tugs booooooooooobs
 
@StrixVaria I hung out on #dcloneirc
 
I GOT A JOB

AT THIS RATE I CAN AFFORD TO BUY TEAM FORTRESS 2 IN ONE YEAR
 
@Fistosaur Hey, congrats buddy!
 
wait that's too much roleplay there
uh
i sell stuff
:C
 
8:41 PM
Wow, who flagged that?
My bad, sorry
Hi @fbueckert
@Fistosaur How do you secretly fist someone?
 
@GnomeSlice Just like in New Vegas, have them blindfolded
 
@Fistosaur I haven't played that.
 
while secretly jamming their bodies full of med-x
and whiskey
 
medwhat?
 
Med-X, it's like a DT increaser in NV
damage threshhold
thresher
thread
 
8:43 PM
DT?
 
Damage Thresh HOld
Like your defense
 
Oh.
I see.
Well I guess that would be helpful?
 
yeah, but you can addicted to meds
 
Given the nature of the, uh, procedure.
 
and suffer from withdrawl
 
8:43 PM
OK, seriously guys? Some of that stuff is offending ME and I hang out in the comms room.
 
@voretaq7 Sorry, I didn't mean to.
I edited it away.
 
@voretaq7 I respectfully request that you change @Fistosaur's name to something less inappropriate.
 
if y'all must describe unpleasant medico-sexual items you might want to create a separate room for it :)
 
Using your mod abuse powers.
 
@StrixVaria What is innapropriate about 'fist'?
 
8:45 PM
@GnomeSlice Based on the context he used recently, he clearly means a specific sexual act.
 
That's like saying 'knob' is innapropriate just because it can be in certain contexts.
 
@GnomeSlice I think he's objecting to dinosaurs
 
I walk away for 5 seconds and everything falls apart in here.
 
The name is rather inappropriate, and needs some changin'. Voluntary or otherwise, don't care. That name needs a changing.
 
@StrixVaria Put up fists leetle man
 
8:45 PM
@GnomeSlice If he were to talk in said contexts, yes, it would be inappropriate.
 
@StrixVaria By his name?
 
Also, @GnomeSlice, you need to not jump to the defense of every known troll in the universe.

Fistotron is actually a robot in Fallout New Vegas
 
@StrixVaria I defend consistency.
 
There you go, offensive enough?
 
8:46 PM
'Fisto' hah
 
My picture is nothing suggestive, it is merely a robot dedicated to stealing American jobs
Fully Integrated Security Technotronic Officer (abbreviated to "Fisto" by the Courier for convenience
 
@StrixVaria thaaat one I'll leave to the local mods - but if that's not over a line it's at least standing right on top of it @Fistosaur -- at least given what I just purged
 
Worse shit than that gets said in here all the time.
 
I will drop a link to this for the local mods to take a look at
 
#js
 
8:47 PM
@voretaq7 Sounds good. Thanks!
 
@GnomeSlice worse stuff than that gets said in The Comms Room all the time too, but we try to abide some "local standards" in chat :-)
 
4 hours ago, by Sterno
@mana By merging those Counter-strike questions, are you shortcutting the discussion on meta about it with a mod nuke?
 
@voretaq7 Hah, well, I'm still working on my angry voice.
Sorry.
 
@Sterno ffffffuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaanoooooooo
4
nooooooooooooooooooooo
 
8:48 PM
@Mana Is this a bird call?
 
Well, in team fortress 2, I always use fists with heavy
how is that offensive
 
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
@OrigamiRobot Sounds more like a moose.
 
@fbueckert You would know.
 
Heavy is my favourite, although Medic has the most playtime.
 
8:49 PM
@Fistosaur No, you are punching the enemy.
 
<3 the crossbow
Stop flagging it.
 
If you rename yourself to Punchosaur, I would have no issues with your name.
 
@GnomeSlice When he stops saying stupid inappropriate stuff, I'll stop flagging.
 
@fbueckert What is wrong with the word 'fist'
 
And that's getting flagged left and right.
 
8:50 PM
@StrixVaria It's just going to annoy everyone
 
That one went out of line. That was deliberately playing the ambiguity.
 
The hell.... Why does half the bounty go to the highest answer when they suck. I do not mind the bounty vanishing
 
Ah, nevermind.
 
A 30 minute time out is not going to hurt anybody.
 
8:50 PM
I do mind it going some where undeserving of it!
 
Flags are way underused in this room.
 
@James Not if they suck. That's what you downvote crap answers for.
 
@StrixVaria Also way undervalidated.
 
@FEichinger I only have 1 bad answer on my question
:/
 
@GnomeSlice You'd be banned forever if they weren't.
 
8:51 PM
@James Still, the highest upvoted answer with 2+ score gets half the bounty. If none is eligible, the bounty dies.
 
@OrigamiRobot I was actually talking about when I flag people calling other people children and shit.
 
@FEichinger Ahh.. Off to downvote :)
 
@GnomeSlice Everybody is somebody's child.
 
@GnomeSlice So eloquent.
 
Oh, it already is downvoted.
 
8:53 PM
Or when you tell someone they are dumb or wrong to have an opinion
 
I hate wikia why do people keep using it
 
or otherwise insult them without using curse words
That shit never gets validated
 
@tugs Because people are stupid.
 
@GnomeSlice On the one side, you need tough skin if you're going to be on the Internet. On the other side, don't be a dickhead.
 
@StrixVaria Yeah I know. Flagging people for being a dickhead doesn't work though.
 
8:54 PM
I find trolling a lot more annoying than swear words.
 
@GnomeSlice It's not wrong to have one, just to voice it in many context. Subjective questions are ng here.
 
@StrixVaria And on the last side, you should be held responsible for your actions.
 
@GnomeSlice It's not offensive to be called dumb. That's just the truth. Everyone is dumb.
 
So I've found what hell is
 
8:54 PM
@BenBrocka HAH
 
IE8 in security mode blocks IT'S OWN SEARCH BAR
Spend ten minutes trying to get Firefox or chrome onto this shitty remote pc
 
@Fistosaur because you've been using your name in ways that aren't exactly appropriate, I've reverted it back to Retrosaur
 
@BenBrocka That's why I always have a USB drive with a reasonably recent Firefox install around.
 
@tugs Agreed. Wikia is terrible.
 
That wouldn't help...I can't even access network share files on this thing
 
8:56 PM
@BenBrocka o.ô
 
it tells me I don't have permission (I'm logged in as a network admin)
 
@Mana I approve of this mod abuse.
 
I'd be impressed at the level of sandboxing if it weren't massively inhibiting me from doing my job
 
wat (Not the edit, the summary)
 
@Mana You should have changed it to @SexRobot
 
8:58 PM
@FEichinger Oh, let me pesky mmyers about that.
Or really I'm just going to say "To wit" entirely inappropriately.
 
@GraceNote Tsk, crazy people.
