@Frank What gnome linked, but Plague Inc. is the variant common for mobile devices and has many more options, game modes, twists, and alternate ways to play. So if you like the basic structure of Pandemic, I'd grab that.

Cerberus

Do you people like the game? I once installed Plague but never played it.

Rapitor

Plague is also on steam now I believe

Cerberus

@DwarfSlice Is that very similar to Plague?

5pike

@Cerberus Haven't played Plague.inc, but talking about pandemic...I might install and try it.

Unionhawk

@Cerberus Yes

DwarfSlice

3:01 PM

@Cerberus Never played Plague, but it seems like it.

Unionhawk

It's pretty much the same thing

Frank

@LessPop_MoreFizz I haven't played any of those games.

So I have nothing to base off of, other than what people here are saying about it.

DwarfSlice

@5pike You don't need to install it, it's a web game.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Yeah, there's a PC/Mac version in addition to the mobile one.

Plague Inc. is a much more polished robust game than Pandemic.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Truth.

Cerberus

3:03 PM

OK thanks.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I loved Plague Inc until I started thinking about killing off the planet as a thing and it causes the same emotional reactions as burning things in Little Inferno does and now I can't play it because I feel like a monster

Cerberus

Aww you must separate fiction and reality.

user15026

@Cerberus Theoretically, I know it isn't real and I know I am not that terrible but I just get so sad!

Cerberus

It is only healthy for you to image the most horrible things. All the better will you be able to deal with them.

Frank

@AshleyNunn There are some things in games I don't like doing, either.

Cerberus

3:05 PM

@AshleyNunn Right, each person has her limits...

user15026

@Cerberus This is not and never will be true for me.

Frank

Even in Hyrule Warriors, I wasn't a fan of playing as Ganondorf in the story, because I was being the bad guy.

DwarfSlice

Ganondorf is the shit

Rapitor

@AshleyNunn name your virus something jokey to take the edge off

user15026

@Rapitor That might help!

Rapitor

like name your disease "pants"

pants are evil

Cerberus

But, say, killing an innocent child in an RPG, where I have some emotional investment...I can't do that, not even for the Magnificent Staff of Doom.

Frank

3:06 PM

@Rapitor I like this idea.

Cerberus

Okay, maybe if it has +++99 Fireball...

Frank

Infecting the world with Pants.

Sounds like it'd be pulling a page from Kill la Kill, where clothes are evil.

Cerberus

@Rapitor I hear everyone names his virus "Your Mom".

Rapitor

@Frank spoilers dude, sort of

Frank

3:07 PM

@AshleyNunn Yes. In Kill la Kill, the big bad are clothes.

user15026

@Frank I don't even know what to say to that

Frank

@AshleyNunn It takes the magical girl trope, and turns it up to 11.

@Rapitor I need to watch more of that, I started it forever ago and then got distracted

Frank

3:09 PM

@AshleyNunn It's got a pretty good story, but it's kinda overshadowed by the sheer amount of wackiness happening.

Unionhawk

@Cerberus Usually in a RPG I'm able to disconnect my character from myself, but if a game employs strategic usage of the second person (Spec Ops: The Line), where it's not the character doing these things but you, things get weird for me.

Rapitor

@Unionhawk spec ops the line is the worst

Unionhawk

It's so good though.

Rapitor

very good. but eugh -shudders-

DwarfSlice

Cerberus

@Unionhawk Hmm you mean the games says "you" to you?

I don't like children, but even I wouldn't want to kill them in an RPG.

In a game like Plague or Carmageddon, sure.

Unionhawk

3:21 PM

@Cerberus The main example I'm thinking of (really the best example of this) is Spec Ops: The Line, where it's very repeatedly emphasized that "You made a bad call" and "You killed all these people", etc. It also presents several situations where it seems like you have a choice, but you end up being forced to take a more morally objectionable route.

Cerberus

Hmm I would probably laugh if they said "you have killed all these people".

An RPG needs to know its boundaries!

Unionhawk

It's really something you just need to experience to understand the impact it really has. (alternatively, I'm bad at explaining things)

It's also not an RPG, it's a third person modern shooter.

Cerberus

Okay.

I will make a note hehe.

Deadly Rooms of Death

Deadly Rooms of Death (DROD) is a computer puzzle game. It was created by Erik Hermansen in 1997 and has been regularly extended since then. The original version of the game published by Webfoot Technologies is no longer available, but the newer Caravel DROD can be downloaded from the company's website. == History == The original release is by Webfoot Technologies in 1997 as version 1.03 of the game, followed shortly after with versions 1.04 and 1.11 to fix some bugs with unsolvable rooms and levels. This early version is commonly known as Webfoot DROD. In 2000, the original author of the game...

Also samus effects from either brawl or melee

Rapitor

@Cerberus 3ds

DwarfSlice

Well then

badp

3:44 PM

The thing that distinguishes this game from the rest in the roguelike space isn't so much that there are rhythm elements, or that you lose a coin multiplier when you mess up, or that you have actual graphical tiles, but that each enemy moves differently as opposed to either roaming randomly about the place or going straight towards you

It makes the rest of the roguelike games seem... kind of dumb? Movement patterns look like a great idea, although they make the game significantly easier once you've figured them out.

Even then though the game can keep throwing you in situations where corner cases matter, and their interaction with your equipment and whatnot can still potentially catch you unprepared.

So iunno.

@Frank Ansible is a general scifi term for FTL communication

Ansible

An ansible is a fictional machine capable of instantaneous or superluminal communication. Typically it is depicted as a lunch-box-sized object with some combination of microphone, speaker, keyboard and display. It can send and receive messages to and from a corresponding device over any distance whatsoever with no delay. Ansibles occur as plot devices in science fiction literature. == Origin == The word ansible was coined by Ursula K. Le Guin in her 1966 novel Rocannon's World. Le Guin states that she derived the name from "answerable," as the device would allow its users to receive answers to...

> Dr. Tom Frieden, director for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said during a telephone press briefing Wednesday that you cannot get Ebola by sitting next to someone on a bus, but that infected or exposed persons should not ride public transportation because they could transmit the disease to someone else.

"I think there are two different parts of that equation," he continued. "The first is, if you’re a member of the traveling public and are healthy, should you be worried that you might have gotten it by sitting next to someone? And the answer is no."

whaaaaat?

Ben Brocka

Ice guns in Borderlands TPS are soooo fun

Jason Berkan

@Sterno The National Post ran an editorial today - "I'm not afraid of ebola, I'm afraid of the CDC".

Sterno

That reads a lot like: "Don't be scared to ride the bus. You can't get Ebola from some guy sitting next to you. But hey, if you've got Ebola, don't get on the bus. You don't want to spread it to the guy sitting next to you."

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Sterno A better way to put it would be "Don't be scared to ride the bus. You can't get Ebola from some guy sitting next to you. But hey, if you've got Ebola, don't get on the bus. You don't want to vomit on some guy net to you, because then he'd probably get it."

Ebola is fundamentally a caretakers disease. It spreads to people who are spending significant time around someone wallowing in the throes of disease.

Sterno

My wife is a doctor and my toddler goes to a daycare where every single thing in the room is at some point in every toddler's mouth. It makes it slightly more scary. Not wrapping yourself in plastic at the airport scary, though

Powerlord

@Frank I'm not even talking about table changes... I'm talking about changes in stored procedures and Oracle types. If he's used an SCM (like he's supposed to) he could just, you know, check the log to see when these changes were made and hopefully why.

Now, instead, I'm being asked to troll through our application codebase and try to figure out why these are different.

Frank

5:05 PM

@Powerlord I'm talking about a problem I'm dealing with at the moment.

But yeah, having a dev and prod database being different sounds...sub-optimal.

Powerlord

@Frank Oh, I thought you were commenting on what I'd just said.

@Frank Well, they will be different for changes made in dev that haven't been moved to UAT or Prod yet.

Frank

@Powerlord Which makes sense.

I suspect that's not what you're talking about, though.

Powerlord

Well, what's worse is that, despite these being Oracle database types, he's giving me local variable names from the PL/SQL code. Which I didn't write.

First file: Both the variables he mentioned are present in the code on my side. Meaning that both are variables on the type on the Oracle side. So, my answer on that one is "they both exist"

(wow, so useful, right?)

Hmm only 8 GB of storage?

1GB of RAM?

James

@Brian Read that as 99 games... Bleh, same thing I saw yesterday :D

StrixVaria

Is the Ouya in such a good position that it can suffer a "disaster"?

James

@Cerberus Yeah its pretty skimpy and Wifi connection only

Cerberus

6:49 PM

Right.

James

despite already needing an HDMI connection for video

Cerberus

Why not buy one of those Androids-on-a-stick?

They're cheap and they may have better specs.

Brian

@Cerberus Same as Ouya

badp

@James It's actually only 407%

Brian

@Cerberus ...what?

James

6:50 PM

@badp Yeah I am not going to talk over that mechanic with you again :)

Cerberus

@Brian Okay, then the Ouya doesn't seem very attractive either...

Brian

@Cerberus I have one. It...could use a hardware upgrade.

Cerberus

@Brian I don't have a television set so this is not my thing, but they exist.

@Brian nods

Brian

@Cerberus You mean like GameStick?

Rapitor

Considering android games are pretty small 8gb of storage is plenty.

Cerberus

6:53 PM

@Brian Never heard of it...

@Rapitor They're not!

There are plenty of games that take up Gigabytes.

> Android Mini PCs, those tiny flash-drive-shaped computers, just keep getting faster, with quad-core models ready to overtake their dual-cored predecessors. The CX-919 features a 1.6-GHz quad-core RK3188 CPU with 2GB of RAM, the latest version of Android (4.2.2), full access to the Google Play store and root-level permissions. With an attractive Android launcher, helpful preloaded apps and DLNA support, this $73.99 device has a lot going for it, but is it the right Android Mini PC for you?
