@Wipqozn I'll try not to link any images of them, then!

@spugsley PRO TIP: Don't do the thing where you store stuff in the garage "just until we get around to unpacking it" because if you do that, you'll never have a usable garage.

Ever.

Man, even by today's standards, System Shock 2 > Bioshock Anything

There are MLP x Bioshock crossovers, but no SS2 ones yet, so there's another plus

Although now that I've put that down in writing I'm sure some law of the internet will result it being made

Wipqozn

@Sterno Yeah... I tried playing through Bioshock again after System Shock 2 but i couldn't. It's just so inferior.

I stopped playing because I just kept thinking "I could be playing SS2 instead"

12:21 AM

Does the game have replay value though?

Asexuality

Asexuality (or nonsexuality) is the lack of sexual attraction to anyone or low or absent interest in sexual activity. It may be considered the lack of a sexual orientation, or one of the four types thereof, alongside heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality. A study in 2004 placed the prevalence of asexuality at 1%. Asexuality is distinct from abstention from sexual activity and from celibacy, which are behavioral and generally motivated by factors such as an individual's personal or religious beliefs; sexual orientation, unlike sexual behavior, is believed to be "enduring". So...

What's that called then?

Asexual reproduction

Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single parent, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it is reproduction which almost always does not involve meiosis, ploidy reduction, or fertilization. The offspring will be exact genetic copies of the parent, except in the specific case of automixis. A more stringent definition is agamogenesis which is reproduction without the fusion of gametes. Asexual reproduction is the primary form of reproduction for single-celled organisms such as the archaea, bacteria, and protists. Many plants and fungi reprodu...

@RedRiderX Huh, yeah it's the same thing with different meanings I guess.

Interesting.

@GnomeSlice It isn't. Asexuality and asexual reproduction are different.

Asexual

Asexual or Asexuals may refer to: *Asexual reproduction **Asexual reproduction in starfish *Asexuality, a condition marked by the lack of physical or emotional interest in sexual activity *Asexuals (band), a Canadian punk rock band, *Asexual Colony, first novel in the "Everlasting Antiquity" series See also *

Okay.

@RedRiderX Oh, I gotcha.

So. That just happened.

We could just drop it. That may be a better idea.

@GnomeSlice I'm going to be honest with you, I don't know why what @LessPop_MoreFizz said was flagworthy either.

@Fluttershy Those are the three least appealing to me, except replace Fortune with Peacock

Painwheel seems kind of OP too

@GnomeSlice Yeah... screw Peacock. She's cheap.

Anyway to configure controls without having to configure 2P?

@Yawus Trust me, use the defaults

@StrixVaria Fucked up his game terribly trying to configure the controls.

1:17 AM

The problem is that I don't know the defaults.

Tutorials.

Just hit stuff until you figure it out. Remapping them will break your game

I think it's kind of messed in the current beta

@Yawus Using an Xbox controller?

@Fluttershy Yeah, but I still don't know which button's LP, HK, and so on.

Yeah there's surprisingly no way to tell in-game

Somebody should really put it on Arqade

@Yawus Defaults: X is LP, Y is MP, B is MK, A is LK. I think you have to tap up for HP and HK, but they'd be Y and B respectively.

1:22 AM

Found out that HP and HK are the right bumper and trigger respectively.

I know exactly one combo with Valentine and it's not even a good one, and I have no idea how to distance close with her.

3:30 AM

@AshleyNunn He's answered three bounty questions. I don't know if they're correct, but given his track record, probably not.

I know exactly zero comboes with Cerebellum except QCB+Throw hits hard so use it.

And why is the front page blank?

@BenBrocka :(

@StrixVaria Cere hits hard enough you don't need that many combos to start with

@BenBrocka Yeah I noticed that.

My opponent was using only Peacock, so my main issue was just getting close enough to do anything.

He also threw me a lot.

3:31 AM

good thing to know though; the MP (I think, the big elbow) staggers opponents, which is like hitstun but you can grab them out of it

so you can chain that move into Merry Go Rilla usually

@BenBrocka Yeah I learned that in the tutorial. Just have to actually use it.

It's really useful.

And if at all possible, get close with Cere and hit someone with Showstopper when they're at arouind 1/4th health and you should net a KO. I forget the exact % it'll do on a fair matchup

@BenBrocka Is that the one where she does the windmill fists?

No that's Diamond Dynamo

Showstopper is the full circle grab

Oh, showstopper is the throw?

Ok.

3:33 AM

e.g. the most damaging level one super in the game

...and one of the most damaging period, too

Got it.

But it's all recoverable damage, so if you do that to a live opponent and don't kill 'em they'll just swap out

inches back in the Bridge

throws are 100% recoverable damage

Feng does not affect Re-tail. As Ben Brocka said they do always add an item every day. After the items have reached a pile of 5 items there are 3 days in which the items will remain. Afterwards everything resets and new items will begin to appear.

I don't think this is correct.

@TrentHawkins Only for moderators, and that's usually only done because a good answer that got CW status because of legit edits instead of minor edits (stuff is auto-wikied to prevent bumping for precious rep)

I have had the same item in my Retail for weeks now.

3:37 AM

@BenBrocka Sadly, it seems to have been used in the opposite case for this instance.

@StrixVaria Try using Val to weaken people. If you have the meter to spare, you can DHC into Diamond Dynamo to get Cere in, or just use her raw tag as the end of a combo and then go for the kill

her drop-in raw tag is pretty safe
