Wow, Microsoft is sponsoring the next talk.js meetup in Singapore
And it just have to fall on the week where I have to go back to staying in camp *sigh*
Their office seems to be pretty cool too - set on the 22nd floor of a skyscraper in the heart of Singapore's business district
 
4 1/2 hours until hometime
 
@kalina No, it's home time now
 
@fredley really? I don't like that name
I don't think it correctly informs you what the game is about
 
@kalina didn't make sense
 
oh sure
I'm not even suggesting that was a better name
 
12:08 PM
@kalina Suggest a better name with an available domain and I'll consider it
 
oh god asteroid attack hates me

Q: Can I modify or delete one of my steam friends group tags?

AntoIn Steam friends, you can organize your friends by "tagging" them (in your friends list, right click someone and select "Tag as"). It's convenient since it allows you to organize your contacts following the games you play together, the moment of the day when they are available, whatever. Bu...

Wow
 
12:20 PM
@OrigamiRobot Glorious
 
@OrigamiRobot want :o
 
@fredley shield upgrades
 
@kalina ...
 
you have a shield on DD
don't see why you'd upgrade your armour but not your shield
basically got a walking tank with a chipboard shield going on here
 
@kalina Ok, I'll consider
 
12:24 PM
everything seems to work
haven't completed DD on account of latency though
 
@fredley also kalina() still works
 
@KevinvanderVelden Good point, I need to remove test functions...
 
exploits
nooo, don't remove my cheat
I mean cough test function
I like that it finally prompts you to not leave the page
 
@kalina Yeah, had that code in for ages, just turned off because it's an arse for developing
It also records if you open the console now, and includes that information in your save :-P
 
the amount of times I accidentally closed my browser and lost several days of coin farming was annoying
nearly did it earlier as well
got stopped
smiled
 
12:27 PM
@OrigamiRobot cc @AshleyNunn
 
@fredley I still think the paddle can get too wide in BB, but I guess if you nerf that any further the powerup will be pointless
 
@kalina Not sure whether to put in auto-saves. I can see why you might want to go back in some circumstances
Like if you accidentally pony-up the place a bit too much

Q: Alternative ending in Shenmue?

unorI heard there is an alternative ending in Shenmue I. What is it and how do you get it?

 
@fredley picking up too many A's in AA
 
@kalina Yeah quite
 
12:29 PM
without the fire rate powerups its possible to back yourself into a corner with AA
 
Or too many Bs
 
don't change it though
it adds a minor tactical element to AA
 
@kalina Yeah, I like that
 
my ball on BB just got stuck in the top, broke nearly all of the blocks and then fell down again
 
@kalina Interesting...
 
12:31 PM
Isn't that the general intended strategy?
Like, since breakout was ever a thing?
 
I didn't playtest breakout, otherwise I'd have complained about it then as well
 
@GraceNote it has been in my experience
 
and completely changed the future of gaming by accident
@fredley I would find it funny if candybox2 has the multiple line thing
 
@kalina Tetris: Needs more bloom
 
@kalina Me too
 
12:32 PM
@PrivatePansy needs regenerating health
needs a second wind mechanic
 
@kalina You may ask your questions
 
I can't
it would be unfair
 
@kalina Fine
 
it would basically cross the line between trying to be helpful and seeding
since I could answer nearly all of them accurately as well
somebody just tried to create a HDMI tag
because we need one on this site about gaming
@GraceNote I'm not sure if this is something you guys should know, but there is possibly something broken with my user account on Arqade
 
How so?
 
12:37 PM
I unaccepted a self answer and lost rep
It might be worth checking if I've gained rep from self answering any of my other old questions
I'm not complaining about losing the rep, I shouldn't have had it
 
Need to make a game called Hero Dungeon Monster Igniter!
 
I have done a rep recalc
didn't change anything, so I suspect either that was the only instance or there is something more deeply broken
 
I hate the fact that when watching classic TV series like Star Trek: TOS, the ads are higher quality than the show itself
2
 
either that or I had never gained the rep, and there is something weird with user ids going on in the background
 
@PrivatePansy and probably higher budget as well
 
12:39 PM
You gained 15 rep from the initial acceptance for some reason, back on October 5th.
 
@GraceNote yeah, I'm wondering if that's the only instance or if something else is broken
 
Possibly. I'll have someone look at it.
 
wouldn't want to get accused of gaming the system at a later date for doing nothing wrong
 
@AshleyNunn I am jealous of your Sushi. I'm not getting sushi again for another 2 days! It's terrible.
 
Do you have any other self-acceptances that you know of?
 
12:41 PM
@GraceNote I have a lot of self-acceptances
in fact, I think something is broken
I just un-accepted another and it killed off another 15 rep
 
Probably something wonk with the reassociation.
 
@fredley the savelink from speed-warp.net still links to tommedley.com
 
my rep was lower than when I left in the first place due to all of the things like tag wiki edits and suggested edits anyway
 
@Arperum Will fix
@Arperum It's all the same db, so it shouldn't affect your save
@Arperum Ok fixed now
 
@fredley I would assume so. Players who don't know much about how websites and domains work might have been confused.
 
12:45 PM
@Arperum Yeah, it's definitely a bug. Have a cookie.
 
relative links
gogo
 
@kalina All other links are relative, not sure why that one isn't. Oh well.
 
@fredley was one of the first things you added I guess
 
@fredley speed-warp.net has no favicon, tommedley.com/spacerace does have one
 
@kalina Saving came quite late actually
@Arperum Good point. One favicon coming up
 
12:50 PM
oh hey, I just did my first ever retag
-.-
 
@kalina CONGRATULATIONS, HERE'S YOUR NOOB BADGE
 
@PrivatePansy THANKS, I NEEDED THAT ONE
there is one badge I can never get back
it makes me so sad
 
The retired one?
 
Analytical ye
so listen kids; deleting your account does not make you 20% cooler.

A: How can I make it stay daytime all the time?

Awesomest_DonutI was going to answer my own question. but no harm done i'll just answer it now: all you have to do is: use a command block, some redstone, a redstone torch, and a daytime sensor. 1.input /time set day into the command block. 2.place down the daylight sensor. 3.place down a redstone torch. 4.conn...

I was going to answer my own question. but thanks anyway! — Awesomest_Donut 2 mins ago

@BenBrocka AHAHAHAHAHA
 
lol
 
@BenBrocka Pfff hahahahaha
! ! !
 
@MichaelDunfield do you suffer from short term memory loss too?
 
@kalina Huh?
 
@kalina Hahaha what
 
I'm not trolling you
 
I am so dumb.
 
that actually happened
 
1:08 PM
was pretty close to midnight for you at the time though :p
 
His voice... is so sexy
 
@BenBrocka have you seen the "iOS7 makes your phone waterproof" advert?
 
@PrivatePansy His everything is so sexy
 
@ToxicFrog How does that even work? Software that makes non-waterproof hardware suddenly waterproof...
 
@Arperum oh, it doesn't actually
@Arperum it's a fake advert.
 
1:11 PM
@ToxicFrog LOL
 
It is possible though, I think
 
the things that some people will fall for
 
@kalina And have
 
If the phone was set up to detect shorts
 
1:12 PM
@kalina I was just about to link that, come back here to post it and you beat me to it.
I'll settle for a star.
 
inb4 @GnomeSlice
 
 
I have fully used my star allowance for today
It's... 2pm
 
@kalina Impressive.
 
thanks
I try
 
1:14 PM
Groupees Steampunk Game, Music, and Comic bundle, featuring (among other things), Vessel, Greed Corp, Jamestown.
ooooooooo
 
@GraceNote How do I ID a godly item?
 
@MichaelDunfield ooh shiny
 
CC @OrigamiRobot
 
@MichaelDunfield Jamestown is really, really good.
 
@StrixVaria So is Greed Corp.
Jamestown would probably be better if I had people to play it with
 
1:16 PM
@MichaelDunfield Is that the hex-based strategy game?
 
@StrixVaria I'm more interested in the clockwork dolls album, didn't know they have a new one :o
 
@StrixVaria Yeah. If you haven't played it, I recommend it.
I really like the style.
 
@MichaelDunfield I didn't even know it had multiplayer.
 
@MichaelDunfield Too many games.
 
@StrixVaria I don't know if it has online MP, but it definitely does local.
I played it with a friend once and it was great.
Haven't felt the need to go back to it though.
I should play more Vessel. Didn't get very far into it.
 
1:21 PM
@StrixVaria Jamestown is pretty obviously built for co-op
Before every level you're given the option for four players to join
 
@PrivatePansy I haven't played in a long time, and forgot about that in lieu of just remembering the awesome gameplay.
 
Agh, Krater was added to the Be Mine 9 bundle!
I love that game
$1 for Greed Corp, Jamestown, and Vessel is pretty ridiculous.
Not even counting all the other shit it comes with
 
Yeah, those are all great games
And it's not even BTA
 
Yeah.
It's awesome.

Q: Are car upgrades applied globally?

row1If I steal car model X, fully tune it and then trash it, will those mods still be applied to the next X that I steal? Or will X be a stock setup?

 
1:34 PM
@Lazers dat avatar
I hate it when I buy DRM and there are games in it
 
NO
GIVE ME MORE STARS TO USE
DAMN YOU
 
@fredley I was just playing BB and got an upgrade of "undefined". I moved my paddle to the left to drop the ball on the right and then be immediately left, but I think it bounced up and then gave that message.
 
oh no, it's the return of the undefineds
 
@MichaelDunfield looks like guns of icarus mixed with minecraft

Q: Can you replay phone calls?

row1I am in the habit of bashing the X button (Playstation, A on Xbox) while on foot to sprint or using it to break instead of R1 when in a vehicle. This habit causes me to frequently hangup on people just after they have called me. Is there a way to replay these lost calls without restarting a missi...

Q: What is the most efficient way to make money?

ChargingPunWhat are some of the most efficient ways to make money? Based on: time initial investment required progress (in the game) special equipment/gear

 
@5pike Yeah, pretty much. I wasn't too sure about it at first but IndieStatik apparently really liked it. They interviewed the devs about some of the challenges a multiplayer indie game faces.
 
Well, it better be really, really, REALLY good, once it's finished.
Else this game will vanish into nothingness.
Competition is hard
 
@fredley link colours on the pink background are green, looks a bit icky
well, one of the link colours
(the save link)
 
@kalina How do you change the background color?
 
1:44 PM
@Arperum link in the bottom corner
"Hate white backgrounds?"
"Hate black backgrounds?"
"What do you think this is, a cookie?"
 
Didn't see it before. Hidden pretty well on the black background.
 
fades in on hover
 
When you click the button it should come up with "What are you, RACIST?"
 
@kalina The problem with that is that you need to hover before you properly see it.
 
heh @ this:
in The Comms Room, yesterday, by Michael Hampton
You know you're in a special hell when you google a Linux error message and find an answer on Technet.
 
1:46 PM
And it's not even close to the rest of the screencontent
 
@Arperum blame @fredley!
it's not my fault
I've already complained about the positioning
 
@fredley, I blame You! for having undefined things and bad positioning of screencontent in your game. Javascript nullpointers are fun.
 
Can I get some help with Game Identification?
The game is for a Playstation console (I think PS2, but am not 100%)
There are at least 2 games in series, but maybe only 2.
The game is an RPG
In the game you can combine gems (i think of different colors) to give weapon (swords only, maybe?) new abilities
As you play through the game you level up your weapon, not your character.
 
oh no
game identification
explodes
 
 
1:51 PM
@DiabloMonkey Not the slightest idea.
 
@DiabloMonkey Nothing either.... anything else?
The platform would really help narrowing it down

pretty sure it's PS2

Q: How close does Los Santos resemble Los Angeles

l46kokSince Los Santos is based on Los Angeles, CA, I'm wondering how closely they resemble each other. I'm asking this because I keep forgetting I'm playing a video game, not driving in Los Angeles whenever I play GTA 5

 
@Arperum Hmmm, I'll take a look at it. Was the ball against an edge?
@kalina Shouldn't be green, should be blue...
 
1:53 PM
@DiabloMonkey Mhhh.... I can make some shots into the blue...
 
@Wipqozn lol
 
Dark Cloud?
 
@fredley you perhaps missed a:visited
 
@kalina Mayhaps indeed
 
@fredley You investigate it, it's not my thing: tommedley.com/spacerace/?key=ZPa4F
 
1:53 PM
@5pike It may be dark cloud... my friend was describing the game to me this past weekend
 
just click 'save' again
 
Checking for a list of PS2 RPGs..... 135 games, that's somewhat manageable....
 
@5pike narrow it down by games that have sequels
 
@fredley Around the right edge at least yes. Very well possible that you went out of bounds in an array.
 
@kalina Oh, for some reason the colour is hard-coded for that link
 
1:55 PM
@fredley 10/10
 
@Arperum That's what I'm guessing
 
would report issue again
 
| genre = Action role-playing | modes = Single-player | media = DVD, download }} is an action role-playing game developed by Level-5 and published by Sony Computer Entertainment It was released exclusively for the PlayStation 2 video game console on December 14, 2000 in Japan, May 28, 2001 in North America and September 21, 2001 in Europe.

It does sound like this might be it @DiabloMonkey
> Unlike most action role-playing games, instead of the main characters leveling up, their weapons do.[9] The player characters themselves can only grow stronger with the consumption of particular items.
 
@DiabloMonkey Definitely sounds like Dark Cloud
 
@MichaelDunfield That totally is it... THANKS!
 
1:56 PM
Loved Dark Cloud 2. I got DC1 but didn't play it much
 
@BenBrocka Dark Clowned
 
He... didn't think that my guess was right.
 
@kalina Got it, I think
 
still looks broken to me
 
@5pike I had to research it 5pike, i wasn't sure until I read the description
 
1:58 PM
yes I did ctrl+f5
 
@OrigamiRobot "Investigate" at the Wizard. There are other means but that's the easy-access one you have.
@kalina Could you post on Meta about your acceptance issue?
 
Morning, Bridge
 
@SaintWacko Hello
 
@SaintWacko Yooooooooooooooo
 
@GraceNote I'm not that desperate to lose >1k rep
