The Bridge

Origami Robot

13:00

@StrixVaria If the whole game had as much flavor as the very beginning had, it'd be the best

Also, Art is not useless

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Yes.

The UI at the beginning kept reinventing itself.

Later on you just got new things to keep track of, which isn't as interesting.

Origami Robot

Eventually you learn how much you need to unlock new things.

Unionhawk

I fully anticipate getting bored of that within the day

Maybe the hour

Chippies

@badp can you explain to me how DR spam every 30 minutes is more efficient than DR spam every hour with energize?

because I am pretty sure energize doesn't buff DR when you spam it every half hour

Arperum

@Chippies wat. You click 869, fifteen minutes later 89, and fifteen minutes later everything is out of cooldown again, so you start again.

Chippies

13:06

@Arperum so wait, you only do it every 45 minutes?

Origami Robot

I have evolved past "make one number go up" into "make a bunch of numbers go up and manage their relationship"

Chippies

wait...

math is hard

6

Arperum

@Chippies 869, fifteen minutes, 89, fifteen minutes, repeat.

so that's 30 minutes.

Chippies

@Arperum I guess that is 30 minutes...

StrixVaria

I still don't have Vaagur in Clicker Heroes :(

My next ancient costs 35 souls, which is a fortune.

Arperum

13:08

@Chippies if you want to use other skills, do so after you've clicked the 89 combo.

Chippies

@Arperum yeah... I think I always thought of the time wrong

Unionhawk

How do I money in this game?

Arperum

@StrixVaria That's been a while ago since that was the case for me. next level I'm idling for now gives 195 souls.

Next ancient costs 800 souls for me.

@StrixVaria What ancients do you have?

Frank

2 days ago, by Frank

I started Beyond Earth yesterday, and shut down all incrementals I had open.

Sterno

Beyond Earth is just a really fancily graphical incremental.

So, my Dora post is up to +23

Soon I shall be king of SF&F

Private Pansy

13:18

@Sterno You sound almost proud of that

Unionhawk

Private Pansy

Also, I'll be flying off to Taiwan soon. See you guys in three weeks. Or around there

Sterno

@PrivatePansy Clearly I've got the kind of content they need.

Wipqozn

@Sterno oh wiat, never mind. That's the answer.

Arperum

@Sterno SF&F is in you top list of accounts already on your profile.

Wipqozn

13:20

I'm too lazy to fix that typo.

Q: New to diablo 3

I bought diable 3 back in 2012, but I haven't been able to sit down with it before now. As I'm not sure if I'll really like it (loved D2), should I buy the expansion now? What will i be missing out when leveling from 1-60? Thanks!

diablo-3

Wipqozn

@Arperum @Sterno should delete his account so his top account is SFF just like @OrigamiRobot.

Private Pansy

@Sterno But not the content they deserve?

StrixVaria

@Arperum I forgot names, but I have idle gold, idle dps, flat gold, hero cost reduction, and boss health reduction.

Arperum

@StrixVaria I have the first four, the boss health one I don't have.

Chippies

13:28

@OrigamiRobot it's like going through school again and I hate it. But it's an incremental and I like it...

Arperum

I have idle gold, idle dps, flat gold, extra souls, extra chance for primals, vaagur, more gild damage, juggernaut (click combo ting) and less mobs/level

Unionhawk

Really, school is an incremental

Sterno

I have idle gold, idle dps, juggernaut. I wish I didn't have juggernaut

I do not have time to sit there and click for 40 minutes

Chippies

@Unionhawk school doesn't give you nice numbers to look at as they increase

Unionhawk

True

Arperum

13:30

All the ancients that have a max level that I have are at max level.

StrixVaria

@Arperum I really want the extra souls and extra primal bosses.

Sconibulus

@Chippies kinda like scholar clicker :)

Koviko

@Lazers diable

Chippies

@Sconibulus if scholar clicker didn't have numbers to look at, I wouldn't be playing it :P

Unionhawk

number go up

Sconibulus

13:34

well... there aren't any at the beginning

Unionhawk

Yep, bored of that game

That was fast.

Arperum

@StrixVaria Extra primals costs a lot of souls to max. The last couple levels on that guy costed more than 100 souls/level.

Chippies

@Arperum but it's worth it

Arperum

@Koviko Possibly french speaking?

@Chippies True. I haven't had a second that I was "damn, if I hadn't maxed that guy, everything would've been much better".

Chippies

screw you asshole. it's not a duplicate — user3700722 40 secs ago

Frank

13:38

We get the nicest new users.

Unionhawk

incoming destruction? or not yet?

StrixVaria

@Unionhawk No. He's trying to ask a real question.

fredley

@Unionhawk I've purged the comments. Question doesn't warrant orbital nukes, so I'll let it lie.

Unionhawk

Fair enough.

Arperum

@Frank I don't think it was primarily aimed at you this time though.

Frank

13:40

@Arperum It totally wasn't! That's a first!

Arperum

@Frank You helped closing it though, so probably still partially at you.

Frank

@Arperum Meh. I was trying to help, but the amount of caring drops dramatically when the user throws a tantrum.

Unionhawk

shrug

That's all I have to say about that

Arperum

@Frank Yea, let's leave it to die a peacefull death.

Wipqozn

I think we should delete the site, that would show'em!

Frank

13:42

@Wipqozn It would show us all!

Wipqozn

@Frank Damn straight!

Teach us lazy Arqadians a lesson.

Frank

@Wipqozn We might actually get some work done.

Unionhawk

Nope

Wipqozn

I'm not sure about you, but I am getting work done!

Unionhawk

No work will be done

Ever

Maybe that's just me

Chippies

13:44

Work? Wha's dat?

Origami Robot

@Chippies I am developing Butt Code

You cannot resist.

Unionhawk

I can and I will

Origami Robot

Nope

Unionhawk

Yep

Yes

Absolutely

You will not get me this time

I am too smart for you

Frank

Waits for @Uni to be sucked in

Wipqozn

13:46

@StrixVaria I'm going to star this just to be a jerk.

Unionhawk

NOPE

DAMMIT @Wipqozn

I hid Strix for that very reason!

StrixVaria

@uni it's starred now you have to play it

Unionhawk

and now that plan has been foiled!

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria I like this rule.

Frank

@Wipqozn I'm starring this just to show just how much of a jerk you are.

Unionhawk

13:47

NOPE

Wipqozn

@Frank I'm fine with this.

Sconibulus

stupid blocked things... what is it?

Unionhawk

It's a thing

I think

There's the rate limiter

Wipqozn

@Sconibulus @Unionhawk's personal hell.

Unionhawk

I was wondering when you'd show up

Chippies

13:48

@StrixVaria that bird that drops coins is a dick! He shits on the roof of the house where no one can reach

StrixVaria

@Chippies Yeah fuck that guy.

Wipqozn

@Chippies Oh man! That sure does sound like an exciting feature. Doesn't it, @Unionhawk?

Unionhawk

shut up

MBraedley

The RNG is ~~trying to kill~~ killing me!

Unionhawk

I hate you all

Holy crap 4 seconds

If you're asking yourself "Does that include me? D:" IT DOES

Frank

Wipqozn

I'm so glad I've never been sucked into any of the incremental games.

candy Box 1 was enough for me.

LIAR

Unionhawk

TAKE THAT @Wipqozn

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I assumed someone would bring that up.

I'm fine with being a liar.

StrixVaria

13:51

It's one of those games that pauses if it's not in an active tab!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Whelp

@StrixVaria Oh, well screw that. All potential interest has gone to zero.

Origami Robot

30 upvotes!

Wipqozn

13:52

you guys really aren't going to get any work done. Especially @Unionhawk.

Origami Robot

I am so popular

StrixVaria

@Unionhawk I have failed you

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn I don't get work done anyway

It's fine

I don't need incremental games to do not work

I have The Bridge and reddit to do that

Frank

@OrigamiRobot Has SFF meta drama spawned from that yet?

Unionhawk

and brainlessly staring at the internet in general

Wipqozn

13:53

Yeah, The Bridge is really good at preventing work.

Origami Robot

Heck if I know. Ask @Sterno

Wipqozn

I don't think so. Just comment drama.

Origami Robot

I know a chat room spawned.

Wipqozn

oh, snap it did

I thought they just linked to the SFF chat.,

Frank

Also, it's been confirmed that Valkyria Chronicles is coming to PC.

Anybody who likes Fire Emblem or other tactical games should really play it.

Unionhawk

13:54

Nope, I think it was a "let's continue this discussion in chat" brand chat room

Wipqozn

Nah, it's not actually filled with anything aside from the cleaned up cmments.

Unionhawk

except mod created by magic

and sorcery

Wipqozn

@Frank I second this suggestion. I also need to go back and finish that game.

Origami Robot

@Wipqozn Yea, nobody ever joined

Frank

@Wipqozn Yes.

And then find and play the English fan translations of 2 and 3.

fredley

13:58

@StrixVaria Not a good game

Too slow

Unionhawk

TAKE THAT

HA

I WIN

SORT OF

Origami Robot

@Sterno's question is only 27/3

Shame on you, SFF

Wipqozn

Yeha, his Dora question should be much higher.

At least 50/3.

fredley

@Wipqozn What's next on the insanity spiral after Dora?

Unionhawk

More dora

obv

fredley

14:01

The Magic Roundabout?

Bagpuss?

Wipqozn

@fredley Supposedly @Sterno has bunch of dora questions.

Frank

Magic School Bus?

fredley

"How can a bus fit in someone's intestines?"

Origami Robot

Teletubbies

Frank

@fredley It's a magic school bus, duh.

fredley

14:03

@Frank I think next you should go around answering SFF questions with "It's a magic [x], duh."

Frank

@fredley I don't even have an SFF account.

And I'd like to keep it that way.

Origami Robot

want

Sconibulus

Magic School Bus is an educational show, and it shows people and dinosaurs existing at the same time!

StrixVaria

@fredley I was under pressure to link a new incremental.

Frank

Also, how do I have eleven badges on Sharepoint.SE?

StrixVaria

14:04

But I agree, it's got some major issues.

Sconibulus

@OrigamiRobot oh wow, very want

Frank

I asked three questions!

Sconibulus

planeswalker commander is something I've wanted for roughly forever

I'm a little sad it's pure green, but I can live with it

Origami Robot

I don't think planeswalkers are that good as commanders, but w/e

Sconibulus

I mean, I wouldn't use it all the time, I just wanted the option

@spugsley labeouf update: still stuck in head. Damn you.

Origami Robot

Unionhawk

GET OUT OF MY HEAD

Origami Robot

This makes me very interested to see the rest of the G deck

Unionhawk

ahem

Origami Robot

14:11

@Sconibulus Being able to attack commanders directly seems like a big downside to me.

Unionhawk

My words are not gospel. Don't treat them as such

Origami Robot

I still am not 100% sure who that is.

something something video games

StrixVaria

@fredley I tried this one out yesterday but couldn't get into it.

Martin Sojka

Total Biscuit? British Youtube video creator. Talks mostly about games and FoV sliders.

Origami Robot

Does he wear a top hat?

Jason Berkan

14:14

@MartinSojka Ha! I've turned off so many WTF videos because of the insane amount of time he spends on graphic options.

Martin Sojka

Not as often as his fans would like him to, I imagine.

Origami Robot

@JasonBerkan Oh he does those?

I've seen that

Martin Sojka

He also does the Co-Optional Podcast with Dodger and Jesse Cox (and sometimes random guests), usually one a week.

Arperum

@JasonBerkan He recently stopped with starting with the options menu.

Jason Berkan

Honestly, he even mentioned that Civ: Beyond Earth runs at 60fps, as if anybody cares.

fredley

14:15

@StrixVaria Yeah, the beginning is confusing

Unionhawk

@JasonBerkan He put an annotation that said "click here to skip the options/performance discussion" - it takes you to 26 minutes out of 35

fredley

If you follow the instructions (in the bottom right) it explains it

Frank

@Wipqozn How far did you get in VC?

Sconibulus

@OrigamiRobot that doesn't seem like that big a deal to me, he helps to ensure you have the mana to continue casting him on any turn you don't have something better to do

Sterno

@Wipqozn Do you not?

Wipqozn

14:15

@Frank The giant tank mission.

Arperum

By the time he get's to the option menu now I'm rpobably not paying attention anymore anyway.

Frank

@Wipqozn Ooh, that was one of the fun ones.

Wipqozn

@Sterno Sadly, no.

StrixVaria

@fredley I wasn't entirely sure what the point of generating different atoms was.

Chippies

@Arperum @JasonBerkan guys, we live in future, you can skip ahead in youtube videos!

fredley

14:16

@StrixVaria I'm guessing that comes into it later

Jason Berkan

@Chippies LIES!

Origami Robot

@Sconibulus Except when it dies.

Sterno

@Wipqozn Well, go ask some Teletubbies questions then.

Even this completely-shit answer got two upvotes:

2

A: Why does saying "Swiper, no swiping!" three times prevent Swiper from swiping?

Empirical studies seems to indicate that at least the younger kids need the three times to catch the trigger and have time to say it at least once. I guess they feel better knowing they helped stopping Swiper ;-)

Unionhawk

@Sterno "What? teletubbies"

Sterno

What's wrong with you, SF&F

Arperum

14:19

@Chippies I didn't really care. I half use these videos as background sound, so just some radio that is playing or something.

Powerlord

@Frank I got through int main.

Unionhawk

blue screen woo

that hasn't happened in forever

Frank

@Powerlord So...the tutorial?

Sterno

Frank for mod of SF&F!

Powerlord

@Frank Oh wait, you're not talking about Visual C are you?

Origami Robot

14:20

@Sterno IIRC, you specifically asked for in-universe answers!

Frank

@Powerlord No. Valkyria Chronicles.

Jason Berkan

@Sterno Frankly, "In the Night Garden" is the children's show I have the most questions about.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot Well, yeah. I mean, otherwise my question would have just been ridiculous.

Unionhawk

You mean the tutorial isn't "write a hello world program in Visual C"?

fredley

@StrixVaria Yup, at level 2 you unlock chemistry

StrixVaria

14:23

@fredley Does it turn into spacechem?

I see a periodic table in a game and I'm instantly turned off because of Spacechem

Frank

@StrixVaria Man, I should really play that some more.

Powerlord

@Unionhawk Sure it is!

does 20 dangerous operations in C instead

~pointer juggling, pointer juggling~

Sterno

SpaceChem is awesome and anyone who hates it is a terrible person who probably has high SF&F rep.

Powerlord

(To the theme of: Winter Wrapup)

Unionhawk

@Sterno I agree, it's the kind of game that hates you more than you are allowed to hate it.

Powerlord

14:24

@Sterno Actually, I don't have high SF&F rep.

Unionhawk

Legally

StrixVaria

@Sterno You have higher SF&F rep than I do as a result of your newest question.

Sterno

@StrixVaria I'll be sure to spend it on downvotes.

Q: Which TNG episodes should be avoided?

There have been many, many good questions regarding viewing order in Star Trek, largely involving the whole series, but sometimes involving a single series. In this case I'm looking at TNG episodes. Recently I've started watching the series anew, and have been greatly enjoying some of the old...

star-trek star-trek-tng suggested-order

sigh

StrixVaria

Anyway I don't like SpaceChem or games like it. I sometimes wonder why I chose engineering as a career.

Jason Berkan

14:26

The amount of joy that SpaceChem has given me makes me sad that I bought it for a buck during a sale.

Matt Эллен

because of all the high temperature baby chickens

Origami Robot

Engineering is fun.

Powerlord

@OrigamiRobot Aren't opinion-based questions fun?!

Sterno

I need to get SpaceChem for iPad

Unionhawk

@Powerlord Pfft, please, that's "not even remotely [subjective]"

Frank

14:27

@JasonBerkan If you like that, you should keep an eye on Big Pharma. It's looking to be pretty decent.

Powerlord

My problem with spacechem is that it seemed to be really fiddly with timing.

Sterno

Maybe I should get enough SF&F rep for close votes. Then I can just vote to close all the things.

Powerlord

I would assume that box moving game @DwarfSlice was talking about would work a lot better for me.

fredley

@StrixVaria This game is quite good when you understand it

StrixVaria

@fredley Maybe I'll give it another shot.

Matt Эллен

14:28

@StrixVaria firefox doesn't play this in the background :(

Sterno

@Ellesedil - true, but if you want to minimize your own wasted time, trusting a review site is worth the time savings. Not everyone has time to sit through low-quality episodes, or view entire 100000 episode show to determine for themselves what's good — DVK 3 mins ago

SF&F is a review site?

I need to start a blog about the conspiracy to downvote me, too

Unionhawk

Wait, are you serious?

rusrs?

Sterno

A guy with over 100k rep is worried about downvotes. I don't understand.

Unionhawk

WAT

Origami Robot

@Sterno Is that DVK?

I downvoted him all the time because his questions are bad.

Unionhawk

Man, I'm not worried about downvotes at not quite 10k

Origami Robot

14:34

Every time he'd complain, he'd just show me more examples of things to downvote

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I refuse to believe this is a thing.

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot You mean in "Why'd this get downvoted? This and this are good questions!" fashion?

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk there is a reason I've made a point to not comment or vote on anything there. Except that answerm which was excellent,

Origami Robot

@Unionhawk Yea

i only edited the tag because that's the right thing to do

FIELD TRIP TIME BUY GUYS

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn I totally upvoted @OrigamiRobot's comment, because it was the funniest thing I read yesterday.

14:37

Yeah, I should make my voting activity on SFF zero again shouldn't I?

Origami Robot

Unionhawk

okay

Powerlord

14:48

OK, so next week is the beginning of November. Which is the "look how many days off we can stuff into a single month" month.

Unionhawk

Technically that number is... math

Powerlord

I mean, even December only technically has 3 for me (ignoring weekends since we already have those off) because New Years Day is January.

Unionhawk

20

20 is that number

That is how many days off can be stuffed in one month

30 if you work weekends too

@SaintWacko What makes you think they did something?

(I was just making a joke)

Unionhawk

ur a joke

OOO BURN

Frank

I think the resistance to incrementals has sapped @Ini's brain. He's getting less and less intelligible.

Unionhawk

Honestly, I don't see how this is less intelligent than normal.

Trent Hawkins

@frank any settings on our current equipment equipment I should make a record of before it's replaced?

Frank

@TrentHawkins Record the IP of FILESERVER, and the port uTorrent uses. So far as I know, that's the only real hole I made in the router.

So, basically, hunt down that port forward configuration.

I'll redo it when I get home.
