I’m about as non-dedicated as it gets; I just want to play Pokémon for 45 minutes before getting bored and then regretting the whole purchase
 
I'd buy it just for the console design, it's pretty slick
 
FAE
@BenBrocka There's also another part on the site, Digital Foundry, that does really great tech analyses. It's one of the places I was looking for info on 1st/2nd gen Vitas and they also did stuff like comparing performance of games that came out for both 360/PS3.
@BenBrocka I'm so jealous of that 3DS. I want it so badly. :(
 
Yeah, Digital Foundry is great for comparisons
they're about the only place that won't be like "yeah I can't tell the difference between the PS4 and Xbox One versions at all! sips a refreshing Mountain Dew Soft Drink"
 
FAE
@BenBrocka lol
 
Brandon Sanderson's new book comes out in a week!
cc @AshleyNunn @StrixVaria
 
3:02 AM
@Frank I should charge my Kindle.
 
user15026
@Frank It does!
 
I think I'll be making a special trip to Chapters to pick it up.
 
FAE
and time to attempt sleep, g'night all
 
Strike Suit Infinity is $1.74 on steam
 
This is the worst timing for a new Sanderson book. I have so many good 3DS games to play, and prime reading time is also the same as prime 3DS-game-playing time.
 
user15026
3:04 AM
@Frank The fandom has kinda ruined his books for me. Damn you, tumblr.
 
@AshleyNunn I don't know what you're talking about but I think I don't want to.
I like Sanderson and I don't want that ruined.
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, I'm in the same boat.
Me likey books! Fandom, you don't exist.
 
user15026
@StrixVaria The Cosmere fandom on Tumblr is a bunch of unfun people who are very very SJ
 
user15026
and they wrecked his stuff for me
 
user15026
which is why I tend to now avoid tumblr fandom
 
3:05 AM
I don't know two extremely important words/acronyms to understand that sentence.
 
user15026
@StrixVaria ?
 
user15026
well, SJ is the only acronym - social justice.
 
user15026
I don't know how to explain that without turning into a frothing mess, though.
 
Wait, there's some greater world tying all of Sanderson's stuff together?
Is that...canon?
 
user15026
@StrixVaria Yeah
 
3:06 AM
wat no
 
user15026
Canon is most of his stuff is on planets in the same solar system
 
user15026
or something to that effect
 
user15026
TO THE COPPERMIND!
 
user15026
 
When I was creating my stories, I always thought "what if I put all my different ideas in the same universe" and then always immediately discarded that idea as stupid.
 
user15026
3:08 AM
Not stupid!
 
I really, really wish I didn't just learn any of this.
I'm going to stop reading about that now.
 
user15026
Oh no
 
user15026
Im sorry :(
 
Diablo 3 is updating to the new patch on my Ubuntu machine. Let's see if wine can handle all the nonsense it's doing.
It's a complete overhaul of the launcher.
 
Apparently, a cop arrested a 13-year old boy and charged him with a felony assault...for throwing a snowball at him.
 
3:11 AM
 
@AshleyNunn I have no idea what any of this is about but the writing on this page is terribad. I mean, it's Wikia, so that was inevitable, but there are some especially mindnumbing errors.
 
user15026
@TimStone Yeah, I should have taken it from the Coppermind instead of a weird independent wiki.
 
user15026
(The Coppermind is the wiki run by 17th Shard, Sanderson's official fan thing)
 
user15026
Despite the fandom ruining junk, though, I am still excited for the Birthright game because I read Mistborn before I touched the fandom wankery
 
user20683
That already happened
 
user20683
Also that color scheme is hideous
 
user15026
IT'S SO PINK
 
user15026
my eyeballs ache
 
Oh, hey. Apparently Dynasty Warriors 4 is coming out sometime this year in NA! Awesome.
 
3:17 AM
@AshleyNunn piiiiiiiiink
 
user15026
I love pink. I do. I am wearing pink rightnow
 
user15026
but That is TOO MUCH
 
cc @Yuki
 
@AshleyNunn I want to buy a hot pink camisole. I bought this weird black mesh top today and I'm going to wear obnoxious pink underneath of it
sorry, I'm feeling random :D
 
user15026

Q: How do I connect with my friends worlds without the same wifi

ErynMe and my friend have been trying to connect forever although we don't have the same wifi it should still work because this app was a total of 6.99 and if I can't conect that's just dumb 7 dollars and no connection please help

 
@Brant lolololololololololololol
@spugsley Skin is pink
just saying
 
@GnomeSlice lol :p
 
@GraceNote Chains. Chains are hard.
On the otherhand, my score has never been higher.
 
user20683
3:25 AM
@GnomeSlice Hers isn't...it's alabaster like some kind of renaissance statue.
 
@WorldEngineer :o that's a very smooth line, sir
 
Pics or it didn't happen
 
user20683
@spugsley not as smooth as your lines
 
...really, Gnome?
Heh.
 
@GnomeSlice Thats not a grayscale gravatar :P
 
3:29 AM
@RavenDreamer Hi, have we met?
 
adjusts monocle and pipe
Indeed.
 
@WorldEngineer :O
 
@WorldEngineer You should try playing Cards Against Humanity with her. She's got some great lines.
 
user20683
@RavenDreamer I tend to win that game...not sure what that says about me
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer Likely that you are amazing
 
3:32 AM
And I present the most awesome look of disapproval -evar-
That is all
 
@James Image not found
 
@James Image not found.
 
Hello, btw
 
:D
 
That's an awesome look of disapproval.
 
3:33 AM
@Frank hivemind
 
Tales of Symphonia Chronicles is a pretty lame port but a very good game (and a lame game that you don't have to play is also included)
 
@James ಠ_ಠ
 
@BenBrocka Heh.
@BenBrocka My feelings about that game can be summed up as follows:
 
awwww
 
Dev1: "See this place you visited last game? Isn't this cool?"
Dev2: "Hey, remember that thing you did last game? Wasn't that fun?"
Both: *Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*
 
3:34 AM
Too late it wont let me edit the post.. .Sooo I bring it to you one more time:
 
@BenBrocka I have two friends who are crazy Tales fangirls and they cosplay a whole bunch of shit from them
 
There, Now that is all :D
 
@RavenDreamer "let's make a game with none of those things"?
 
.. Though Image not found is also a pretty good look of disapproval :)
 
That said.
I do enjoy Marta.
Chakrams + Pigtails + spunky + kind of German? Maybe?
 
3:35 AM
@spugsley there's some good characters in the series. And some subpar games. But ToS was good, Xillia was good
 
@BenBrocka Tales of Graces was quite good, too.
I liked it more than Xillia.
 
I went into the game expecting "ToS buddies The Game!" And then I got this crap about "catch monsters! Loyd's a dick now!" and gave up several hours in after having absolutely zero Tales buddies
I honestly would have enjoyed "dick around on a new map with Tales of Symphonia characters!" much more than the actual game
 
@BenBrocka The Tales Buddies eventually show up, but they are at a static level, which means your monsters are better.
 
@Frank I must concur that my tales are quite good.
 
yeah and they're temp buddies I think. Never got to that point, never cared to
 
3:38 AM
@GraceNote Indeed. You tell the best stories.
 
Hm. I should finish Journey of Estelle and the Sky.
Trails in the Sky.
Something Sky?
 
Why, just two nights ago I replaced Brock as the Pewter City Gym Leader. Because I had a triceratops as my lead.
 
Skies of Arcadia?
I like that game
one of the few RPGs I've ever finished
 
So do I, but not what I'm referring to.
 
@RavenDreamer This is it
 
3:40 AM
dat gen 1
 
@BenBrocka Just thing. After 5 generations, you can finally stroke this majestic specimen of 'mon.
 
I really wonder who thought that right eye was ready to ship
...dammit I looked away did TPP get KO'd already?
 
So I'm not sure what I expected.
I made a product without customers interested in that product.
 
You're nintendo?
 
And now I still have no customers interested in that product.
 
3:44 AM
Can I get an autograph?
 
@BenBrocka Yes. Who should I make it out to?
 
@GnomeSlice wait... you don't finish RPGs?
 
@Braiam I don't play many of them either.
I finished Torchlight. Breath of Fire 2 (which I borrowed from my sister). Contact (DS). And Skies of Arcadia.
Probably some others too.
 
I only finished Diablo III two times. Does that make me a monster?
 
3:46 AM
meh, was about to tell you to play Geneforge series...
 
I think I finished the first Paper Mario
 
@RavenDreamer the worse class of moster
 
Got very near the end of the gamecube one and never finished it
Never played a final fantasy game
 
Paper Mario is great. Too bad they never made a third or fourth one.
 
ok @RavenDreamer, you are an angel besides @GnomeSlice...
 
3:47 AM
@BenBrocka They did make a third one.
Super Paper Mario
 
I think he was either being facetious
or wanted another Paper Mario RPG.
Or both.
 
Was Super Paper Mario not an RPG?
I didn't play that one.
I think my dad has it though.
 
user15026
Was that the one with the stupid perspective changing bullshit?
 
It's closer to New SMB than Paper Mario 1 in gameplay
 
The worst thing about Paper Mario was Flurry
 
3:49 AM
It was the Wii one I never bought
speaking of awful games I bought Other M for $11 today and will regret it the moment it arrives
 
@BenBrocka I actually really enjoyed that game.
 
Figured for $11 it was worth having on the shelf
 
I don't understand all the bad reviews.
 
I've heard good things about the gameplay but I doubt I can get past the story
 
I liked the story. It was kind of weird to see so much Samus though.
Kind of her point is that she's all mysterious
But it wasn't bad.
 
3:50 AM
she's also supposed to be all badass not "the baby the baby the baby the baby the baby "
 
I'm assuming people raged because she seemed weak in parts of the story?
Well tough, not everybody is strong from the moment they're born.
Same shit I heard about the new tomb raider
oh no, lara is a wimp
 
She already went though Metroid and Super Metroid at that point
 
@BenBrocka Most of the story in other M is told as flashbacks to Samus' past.
It doesn't take place in the present.
 
in twitch plays pokemon have they beat Giovani?
 
Regardless, I enjoyed Other M.
You should play it, don't just put it on the shelf.
 
3:52 AM
yeah but "the baby" samus is post-Super metroid
 
@BenBrocka The what?
Oh right
something about a baby metroid
I forget
Anyways I'm going to bed
 
@GnomeSlice @BenBrocka The problems I had with Other M weren't gameplay based.
It was an okay game (not great, but acceptable). It was not okay as a metroid game.
 
@SimonL Not yet
 
@BenBrocka Do you intend to actually play it?
 
I might just skip all dialog and pretend it has no story
 
3:54 AM
@RavenDreamer I thought they got the feel down pretty well, despite the different type of gameplay.
@BenBrocka Don't do that.
Play it you coward
3
 
@GnomeSlice Like I said, gameplay was fine.
 
They spent a few hours trying to get around the ledge and into his gym without jumping off, then people got impatient and engaged democracy mode... then when anarchy took over they ran right out and jumped off.
 
they ran out? Bwahahaha
I thought they got KO'd
 
nope, it was hilarious
 
@BenBrocka When you get stuck, just remember: You're supposed to look at the blood.
 
3:55 AM
I always look at the blood...oh you mean a video game
how long is Other M?
 
There's 3 or so "Find the Pixel" segments in Other M which are entirely unhelpful.
 
New D3 patch looks very promising.
Just tested it out for like 15 minutes or so.
 
Probably my biggest disconnect with the game was that there is no scan visor. After the 3 metroid prime games, I was so used to "stuck, go into scan visor". In Other M, you go into first person to scan... and there's nothing. You're still stuck.
 
@RavenDreamer Yeah, I'll give you that one.
I got stuck in the desert room for like 20 minutes trying to find the thing.
 
ALSO
THERE IS NO ITEM COLLECT JINGLE.
IN A METROID TITLE.
What the fark!
 
4:00 AM
Are you sure?
I'm pretty sure there was, but maybe not.
Okay I'm actually going to bed
In my opinion, Other M is a good game
 
@GnomeSlice There was for one or two new items. The charge and diffusion beams, I think? The XPacs and "Authorizations" definitely didn't have it.
 
@RavenDreamer NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
Woo! Gogo mod powers!
Who knows what bounds lies the depths of my power-mad depravaties.

user15026

@AshleyNunn Uses what? Magazine adds?
 
THE TWIST: Find an ad for firearm magazines (step two be reported to numerous local authorities)
 
user15026
@SimonL Like who still has magazine subscriptions? I am not going to go to like the drug store and pay obscene amounts of money for one stupid ad
 
user15026

user15026
4:08 AM
that isnt even really explained
 
@AshleyNunn The library usually has magazines you can burrow and I don't think people will complain if you take the adds out. On a side note I am a subscriber to the MSDN magazine.
 
user15026
@SimonL Oh man no you do NOT pull apart magazines at the library no that is not a thing no no no no
 
@AshleyNunn I have a magazine subscription. :(
 
Also, any convenience store you go to usually has cheap 5$ magazines you can buy.
@AshleyNunn No, but you can check them out.
 
user15026
@SimonL I have zero income, that $5 could be used a lot better.

user15026
@SimonL Yeah, and then scan it I guess. Not going to essentially deface the thing.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy I suspect more people do than I think, but aaaaaa
 
@AshleyNunn do you have a neighbor you're close with? You could go knock on the door tomorrow and ask if they have any old magazines?

mmm Culture Jam I am curious what that means
 
4:14 AM
Something tasty?
 
user15026
it's not tasty jam you put on bread that much I know
 
Maybe it's misspelled. Like it's supposed to be jamb.

user15026
I hate this class
 
So are pretty much all 3DS games available through the online store, or do I still have to haul myself all the way to Gamestop like a caveman?
 
@Brant Pretty much all are.
 
You know, when I was in College I had this class that was basically only doing presentations and technical writing. I hated that class when I originally took it. But now, I use what I learned in that class almost on a daily basis and I'm pretty happy I ended up putting forth an honest effort when I took that class.
 
Is it just first-party games or do the thi...ah, who am I kidding, there are no good third-party games
 
4:21 AM
@Brant Can't you pick a better place to be a caveman?
 
Suggested edits is now blood red, apparently.
 
user15026
@Frank Yeah, it looks like they changed a few of the colours
 
@AshleyNunn I don't mind, I was just, "...That's a...different color. I wonder what it means. click Oh, it's just suggested edits."
 
user15026
I like the new colours.

Q: How do I make good custom spells work in Two Worlds 2

12:58 PM
@Wipqozn it's a very handsome picture
 
@PrivatePansy Such high praise! Thanks!
 
@AshleyNunn I actually have one. Well, my father's, to be more exact. Unfortunately it's from the IEEE, so unless you want an ad for the latest edition of Matlab for your women's study assignment you're out of luck
