@Sconibulus Torgue and Tina's DLCs are GREAT, the other two are okay. I'd recommend just getting the season pass since it also includes the level cap boost and pearlescents for playthrough 3.

@SaintWacko And you can save Megac loadouts now!

Plus anyone who preordered it gets the special edition with a bunch of new vs levels and wallpapers and the soundtrack

I wonder if they changed the save system. Saves were stored in the registry before, which is kinda bad. I'd like to start from the beginning so I can play through the story since it was added after I'd already gone most of the way through it.

Yep, I have it :D

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko Yeah Desura is awesome. Everything is DRM free. ...Well, most things.

Some things just give you a Steam key which is stupid

SaintWacko

Do you play it with controller or keyboard?

GnomeSlice

2:36 PM

@SaintWacko Controller, definitely.

SaintWacko

Yeah, that's what I've always played it with

GnomeSlice

The original control scheme worked better with the keyboard, but the current one is far better with a controller.

It also made playing Super Smash Brothers really hard after lol

SaintWacko

That means it can't be one of my portable games :(

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko It stores saves in the registry anyway, which is kinda bad

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice Wow, no kidding

That's awful

SaintWacko

Haha, did you see the countdown on the sale of the normal edition?

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko desura.com/games/megabyte-punch/forum/thread/…

The problem with the registry save is I probably can't back up my save and start a new file so I can play the story

I'm gonna have to wipe it

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice Oh, I misread that as 151 days

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko Oh, hah

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice Wow, that's... odd

@SaintWacko The devs don't even seem really sure how it works, lol

> I think you have to import the .reg file before you install the game. Not sure though...

Kevin van der Velden

What the.. WHY would you put save files in the registry

At MOST what you'd do is put the location of a save file in it, that's kinda the goal of the registry

fbueckert

@KevinvanderVelden Probably for the same reason as Sony encrypted PS3 hard drives to their own unique console.

Ben Brocka

Why would you put ~~save files~~ anything in the registry

Kevin van der Velden

@fbueckert profit and fear of piracy? Doubt that applies =p

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko Did you see Pushcat on IndieGameStand?

Probably not your thing, but could be one of your flashdrive games.

Plays fine with a keyboard. $1 for a desura key

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert Why would it protect cheevos? They're protected because you can't copy save data from one account to another without disabling cheevos. That system works regardless of encryption, since you can copy to a USB file

fbueckert

2:46 PM

@BenBrocka Really? I was unaware of that.

Some save games are locked to the hard drive, though, and won't copy.

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert Yeah, I fucking hate that system, though it's used less often than the Wii does it (I have NO idea why wii does it, they don't even HAVE achievements)

SaintWacko

@fbueckert Oh, I misread "Sony" as "Steam". No wonder I was confused :P

Ben Brocka

And for some reason PSx/PS2 saves aren't copied unless you manually copy them to a USB stick, so a full backup doesn't back those up, for no apparent reason

fbueckert

@BenBrocka Ditto.

Mostly because I have a dead PS3 that has all my PS2 saves on it.

@RedRiderX There were actually a couple panels on this at PAX East, actually.

StrixVaria

It is so hard to justify buying a single game for $60 after that steam summer sale.

fbueckert

@StrixVaria Pikmin?

Grace Note

4:07 PM

If the price ain't gonna lower, if it comes with nice trinkets, and if the game itself satisfies you for much time to come, I'd say that works. Yeah, it won't have been as cheap as your sale games but if I want the game, I'll take it over not taking it.

StrixVaria

@fbueckert Yeah.

I've also not played previous Pikmin games.

I'm just looking for more games to justify having a Wii U.

Which is utterly flawed logic, I know.

Grace Note

That doesn't sound like flawed logic at all.

The past 5 or so consoles and handhelds I've bought have all been after waiting until there's enough titles out there that I actually want, to justify me making a purchase.

In fact, honestly I'd say that having enough games to warrant a system is the most logical reason to secure the purchase of a console.

StrixVaria

@GraceNote The flawed part is that the amount I spent on the Wii U is already a sunk cost. It's lost whether I find games to play on it or not. It opens the opportunity to a wider array of games, but it shouldn't be used as a reason to buy a game.

I already have the console :P

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote Yea but he is looking for games after he purchased the console

Grace Note

Oh.

OrigamiRobot

4:11 PM

As am I

Grace Note

Then you really don't need a justification, neh? You already got past the hurdle of making the purchase, now enjoy that you can play the games available on it.

StrixVaria

Now I have to treat each game as its own purchase though. Pikmin 3 has to be worth $60 to me for me to get it.

I'm not sure if it is, because honestly I have no clue what it even is.

Grace Note

I'd listen to your hesitance, then.

fbueckert

@StrixVaria You ever play Overlord?

StrixVaria

@fbueckert For about 30 minutes until it crashed.

fbueckert

4:14 PM

@StrixVaria So...not long then.

StrixVaria

@fbueckert Right.

Grace Note

If you don't have enough pull from a game to go for that release price, you stand no benefit to picking it up at release price instead of waiting to see if the price drops or can be found for cheaper at a later date.

fbueckert

Pikmin is like that, only more colorful, and you're tiny.

StrixVaria

I get that in Pikmin you kind of indirectly control things by telling little flower people do to the work for you.

But overall is it like an action game, a puzzle game, an RTS game?

@GraceNote Oh really, what were some of their arguments?

@RedRiderX The one panel I attended was on the general topic of gender studies and transgender in games, I couldn't cite the exact arguments but it was extremely happy with how the game handled the topic, apparently. I did not attend any other panels that spoke of Saint's Row.

@StrixVaria It's an RTS Puzzle Adventure sorta. It's hard to describe and it's more complex than most nintendo games so I think that's why it never caught on to the level of lots of other nintendo properties. Plus it's one of the few newer IPs they have

RedRiderX

4:27 PM

@GraceNote Hmm interesting.

Now I'm curious to how Saint's Row handles the topic.

Although I wouldn't be surprised if it amounted to acknowledging the topic and not making a big deal about it, and continuing with the rampaging and crazy and such.

And in case anyone was interested:

@RedRiderX That's pretty much the most I've ever seen out of a game. The only examples I can think of are a few Japanese games that have implicitly/explicitly transgendered characters (that are often played for laughs to varying degrees) and Animal Crossing New Leaf, in so far as the clothing shopkeeps mention when you're looking at unisex/male/female clothing

Anyone have expertise in CSS and divs? I've got a problem that needs resolving.

isthisbetter

yes

rusty tho

fbueckert

For some reason, my update div that's overlaying the table is pushing everything else down.

isthisbetter

hmm

fbueckert

Maybe I can get @Jin to deign to help me. :P

isthisbetter

clearly the C++ in your https needs more php

@fbueckert You mean the space at the top? It looks like a margin on perhaps a <p> wrapping the text within the overlay.

fbueckert

@TimStone Nah, that's fine. It's the space underneath it I'm worried about.

It's pushing everything below it down, but only when the update div is visible.

Tim Stone

Oh, there's supposed to be stuff in the blank part of the screenshot?

fbueckert

@TimStone Yeah, stuff unrelated to the updating form.

That's what's supposed to be right under it.

Gotcha.

CSS for the overlay?

fbueckert

position: relative;
background-color: white;
top: -178px;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 163px;
opacity: 0.8;
-moz-opacity: 0.8;
filter: alpha(opacity=80);
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=80)";
z-index: 10000;
text-align:center;

So much for code ticks.

I have to use relative, because I don't know exactly where this will be when they use the form.

Tim Stone

Ah, that's how position:relative works.

fbueckert

@TimStone It takes up space beyond it's own height?

Tim Stone

But giving it a margin-bottom: -163px; might work

@fbueckert Not exactly, the following container is rendered as though the relatively positioned element was not offset.

fbueckert

@TimStone Ew.

I wish there was a better way to give an Ajax update overlay over a module.

Ben Brocka

@Powerlord Yeah, you collect fruits and you need one unit of fruit juice per day or you get a game over. You almost always have an opportunity to get at least 2 units of fruit per day though, so far it seems much less restricted than Pikmin 1

fbueckert

The margin does it, though.

Powerlord

Wow, the OpenJDK site makes it impossible to actually find the real Java source code.

Ben Brocka

JDK? More like IDK

Their mercurial repo is full of mainly stuff that are just the build instructions.

@BenBrocka It could stand for, "Just don't know"

SaintWacko

But I can't find a way to download it from there

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko Oh. Uh. I have no idea actually.
