Wait... doesn't going on a heist automatically make you a bad guy? What's with the "except"?

@James I'm buying it this weekend for the deal, but I just started playing FTL and it's not done with me yet.

Advertising food services on porn sites is apparently extremely profitable

Private Pansy

I've got a terrible sore throat, a very stuffed nose that's leaking like a tap and itchy eyes

Yuki

@MichaelDunfield Invariably, watching porn gets you hungry, it seems.

@BenBrocka I really want to play that.

Martin Sojka

21:06

@Yuki I'm pretty sure I already played that one, or at least a translation of it from the original Japanese.

Michael Dunfield

@Yuki Cookie Clicker?

Ben Brocka

@MichaelDunfield It's already on early access, $15

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka I know.

Ben Brocka

cross buy on PS4/Vita too

Michael Dunfield

I'm tempted to just get it

But that's a lot of money for me

I mean not that much

But I buy too many games.

Also there's something I really don't like about the character designs for the android girls.

This looks awesome and it is made by the same people who created Fallen London, which I also love (cc: @RedRiderX)

Michael Dunfield

They look creepy.

James

@Coronus FTL is also fun.. it has a pause feature to keep it semi turn based.. :)

Martin Sojka

@PrivatePansy My condolences, BTW. That's roughly how I felt the whole week. At least it gave me the excuse to sit down and learn a bit about DAZ Studio.

Coronus

@James I need to remember to use it more often.

Michael Dunfield

@AshleyNunn This looks really cool!

I'd star it if I had any left.

Private Pansy

21:09

Oh yes, and the mosquitoes. Don't forget about the mosquitoes.

user15026

People need to back it so then when I have money again (which will take longer than I thought because university and government bureaucracy sucks chunks) I can buy it :P

Michael Dunfield

I love this.

HI PEOPLES

FEichinger

HI @SPUGS

RedRiderX

@MichaelDunfield And I'm not at all miffed that no one remembers when I mentioned it. :P

21:10

@spugsley Good afternoon!

user15026

@spugsley HELLO

Michael Dunfield

@RedRiderX Sorry. :(

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn But yeah I'm glad you heard about it.

user15026

@RedRiderX Yeah, I suspected you likely already knew, but I was super excited so I wanted to be like THIS THING IT IS COOL

RedRiderX

@MichaelDunfield Nah, it's cool.

user15026

21:11

Also, are you participating in the Knife and Candle stuff or did you give me your last token?

spugsley

I've been watching Californication

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn IT IS INDEED COOL!

spugsley

it's very booby

user15026

@RedRiderX :D

Michael Dunfield

21:12

Hometime shortly

@spugsley ergh I have no stars.

spugsley

@MichaelDunfield lol how did you run out of stars already?

Michael Dunfield

@spugsley I don't know, I never ever run out of stars

user15026

I dont think I have ever run out of stars ever

spugsley

I definitely haven't

Michael Dunfield

@spugsley Also you might enjoy these photos: thehundreds.com/visual-by-van-styles/2013/09/13/…

kind of hipstery but still really nice

RedRiderX

21:13

@AshleyNunn Well, I leveraged some of my "assets" to get a token, then I lost my nerve after reading all the descriptions of the game, but didn't want to just chuck the token. :P

I really didn't know what to do with it.

spugsley

@MichaelDunfield they are really well done. The window light is great

Michael Dunfield

@spugsley Yeah I really like the location

user15026

@RedRiderX Fair enough. I am holding onto the token for now - I don't really have the skills to actively participate yet (too busy seducing all the people in Veilgarden)

Michael Dunfield

@AshleyNunn wat

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn You persuasive devil you.

user15026

21:15

@RedRiderX You betcha, I am getting all their secrets.

RedRiderX

@MichaelDunfield Well Knife-and-Candle is not an activity to be undertaken lightly.

user15026

@MichaelDunfield Hey, it gets me lots of whispered secrets, pays for my honey-den use, and really, its fun!

spugsley

OMG GUYS I MADE A FRIEND LIKE IRL

well first online

but she lives down the street!

user15026

@RedRiderX Heck no. It kinda alarmed me, but I figure I might see what happens and try not to get into too much harm

user15026

@spugsley awesome

spugsley

21:16

and we are going vintage shopping and food trucking tomorrow (yay hipstersssss)

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn Yeah, as long as you don't die too much, it's "mostly harmless".

user15026

@spugsley so jelly

user15026

@RedRiderX Yeah, but right now death is pretty much guaranteed

Michael Dunfield

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn What is your profile link? I'd be interested in seeing it, but for some reason I can't find it.

Michael Dunfield

21:18

@MichaelDunfield Clearly this is an example of normal hometime activity.

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn Ok for some reason I can't see your profile while logged in to Fallen London.

user15026

@RedRiderX That is so weird

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn Can you see mine? fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/RedRiderX

Hmm, that's odd then...

Q: Jungle Fortitude damage reduction not appearing on Details window

The demon hunter passive skill Jungle Fortitude reduced damage taken by 15%. However, when this skill is selected, the "Damage Reduction" value on the "Details" information window does not increase. Is it possible that this skill does nothing?

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert No idea what they were thinking there

fbueckert

@BenBrocka Neither do I.

Martin Sojka

@fbueckert Why "squeamish"? There's like ... nothing to be squeamish about in that. (note for the frame of reference: my family comes from a rather rural area, to the point where I actually watched the slaughtering of a pig as a kid)

fbueckert

@MartinSojka Some may find that rather gross. I also grew up in the country, and am no stranger to animal slaughter.

Martin Sojka

Eh, that's just some dirt and (implied) manure in there. You can't produce anything worthwhile without both. :D

spartacus

I have 1 of each FTL and Mark of the ninja steam keys to give out to interested parties

fbueckert

22:09

@GraceNote Elona, or Elona Plus?

Grace Note

@fbueckert Elona Plus has more stuff and niceties that fix a lot of less-than-ideal parts of the original

For example, in normal Elona, your taxes rise based on your level, your fame, and your current cash money reserves. In Elona Plus, the first two no longer factor in.

fbueckert

@GraceNote Fast google searches don't give me a link to an english version.

Grace Note

@fbueckert The language is chosen in the game.

Note that the second portion of the game (which, if you're fresh in, is really far away) isn't quite translated, in so much as it isn't translated much and most of the English is just placeholders stolen from the first portion of the game. But the first portion is fully translated (since it's the base Elona anyway).

fbueckert

"Legal Perfectionist"

Sounds right up my alley.

Ninja of Cuteness.

Coronus

This game has a class based on Claymore? Nice.

Grace Note

22:19

It's a very solid class, too.

Coronus

@GraceNote Just to confirm: You can choose English on Elona+? My Japanese is rusty.

Grace Note

@Coronus Yes. When you first launch the game you're given a choice of language, and you can change it at any point in the game options.

(Though font sizes get wonked when you switch so it's usually good to save and exit each time you switch)

Coronus

@GraceNote Great thanks. :D

Grace Note

While we're on the subject of folks catching references, now'd be a good time to mention that the motorcycle I ride is called "Kaneda Bike" and shouts "TETSUO!" every now and then.

Okay, then.

FEichinger

@fbueckert That's what I took away from one of those ~~crazy person~~ @GraceNote talks, yes.

Yuki

Seriously? I haven't played Dragon's Dogma in... years(?) and I finally check in. Pawn hasn't gotten any work.

Grace Note

10 hours ago, by Sterno

So I just read this quote about Elona:

You get a little girl as your pet. And you ride her. Then you buy a ranch and put your little girl there as a breeder to get more little girls. And then you modify her genetically to give her a centaur lower body. Then you ride her some more. You put a leash around her neck and she tells you "Please be gentle".

fbueckert

@GraceNote Yeah, I remember that. The context you get when you get your pet made me laugh, though.

...my little girl is more dangerous than I am.

Is there a way to see pet stats?

I shall join you.

Coronus

@Sterno I'm guessing @KevinvanderVelden

spartacus

23:20

no one's interested in FTL or Mark of the Ninja steam keys?

Coronus

@spartacus Huh. I thought I had both of those on my account. Now I'm wondering where I played Mark of the Ninja.

Either way, FTL is great fun. I just started playing that.

Arperum

@spartacus I'd love an FTL key

Grace Note

@fbueckert Informer -> Pay 1000 gold to "Investigate one of my allies"

There are a couple other means but one is a bit later than you can access and requires gene engineering, the other costs 10000 gold.

spartacus

@Arperum 2CKDI-G48JA-HT39B

@Coronus Mark of the ninja is a great game, highly recommended

Arperum

@spartacus Thanks!

@Coronus Interesting pricetag.

If a pokemon is poisoned, do they lose HP at the beginning of their turn or at the end (after doing a move)? I don't play Pokemon but I need to know this :[

Grace Note

@Omega End of their action.

Coronus

@Omega I think it's after every turn.

FEichinger

23:50

@Omega End, if I'm not horribly mistaken.

fbueckert

@GraceNote That's...pricey.

I chose Human analog/Warmage

And, I totally suck at more or less everything.

Grace Note

@fbueckert Used to be 10,000 before Elona Plus. Another nicety.

fbueckert

Does the investigation at least let you see their stats permanently from thereon out?

Grace Note

No.

@fbueckert Don't worry about this. It's alright if you need a little girl to beat everything up for you at this stage.

Q: Is it possible to feed a chili bean to a rampaging bull?

The rampaging bull is rather annoying as it charges forward quite a ways before flinging the midget zombie into my back row. Is it possible to feed a chili bean to it so it will pass gas and eliminate any other zombie in that row behind it? I don't have a tall nut yet as I'm playing the Big Bad...

> Now you may ask, how does my father have that kind of money? Is he rich? No. No he is not. He lives, frugally, in a terrible house, alone, ever since my mother died. He was a radar technician for 40 years with the FAA. He has been saving his retirement checks for the past 3 ½ years to buy a brand new plug in hybrid car, this is that car money. For the first time in my life, he is actually helping me with one of my projects and making a pretty big sacrifice to do it.

My ass. I'm sorry, but after the crap they pulled here, I'm not believing a single one of those words.

This goes for every Kickstarter involved.

Ben Brocka

Note this isn't one of the two previously suspected Ouya fund frauds

But, without saying it, it's pretty clear it's only funded because they're doubling their friends/family's money

FEichinger

@BenBrocka I'm aware. Which is why I clarified that.

fbueckert

@FEichinger I find this much more believable than Gridiron Thunder's, "We have high powered backers. This is totally legit."

LessPop_MoreFizz

Is there a link that explains this whole Ouya/"Free the Games" clusterfuck? I ignore 99% of Ouya news because I think the whole thing is a total joke, and apparently something interesting/hilarious has happened while I wasn't looking.

Ben Brocka

23:56

@fbueckert Also I AM A LAWYER AND I WILL SUE YOU

LessPop_MoreFizz

And every link i get just totally jumps into the middle.

FEichinger

@fbueckert I should probably rephrase that. It's not that I don't believe it's true, but I don't believe it should be said. We've hit the point at which everyone comes up with their own little excuse for this massive fuckup. Well, everyone but OUYA who just use it to praise themselves for whatever reason.

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah most articles I read do that at best, not sure there's a single, comprehensive overview

fbueckert

@FEichinger I can't say I really blame people for exploiting the system.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka Speaking of this sentence, this is hilarious.

> In all sincerity, we regret the misunderstanding that instigated our lawsuit. Now that we better understand—and appreciate—the actual nature of our business matters, we have voluntarily withdrawn our claims against Gearbox, with genuine apologies to Randy for any damage that our lawsuit may have caused to the relationship.

fbueckert

23:58

Ouya brought that on themselves.

Ben Brocka

I guess they assume if you're reading an article about the Ouya you must already be following it

I only know of it because I follow a bunch of indies that tweet about every time Ouya fucks up (often)

FEichinger

@fbueckert Meh. They are definitely furthering it now, but I don't think they really saw that coming. It didn't sound like a completely terrible idea in the beginning. And particularly with indie devs, one would assume some common sense. (Not that the Ouya, the FTGF or any of the offending devs really fits that "indie devs with common sense" part :/).
