22:00

the hammer is my first weapon that I got to +10

Yuki

I'll be using Alonne Knight/Captain gear to get the proper look.

@3ventic I haven't upgraded any of my gear that far yet.

3ventic

I've only had enough large titanite shards to level up 2 weapons during all my hours so far.. which is annoying

Yuki

My Heide Knight Sword is at +6, I think.

3ventic

and I spent them on 3 weapons so I only got the hammer past those and into the titanite chunks

Yuki

I also infused it with Lightning so it scales extra-well with Faith.

3ventic

22:01

I had a whole bunch of those saved up to get to +10

Yuki

@3ventic I think you can buy large Titanite shards outright.

At least after a certain point in the game.

3ventic

I'll probably try and get an attunement slot soon so I can get some pyromancy going on

@Yuki this probably

Yuki

From what I recall, McDuff had an unlimited supply of Large Titanite Shards.

3ventic

I'm not that far in as far as progress towards NG+ is concerned

Yuki

After I beat the Old Iron King, I think that unlocks unlimited Titanite shards.

3ventic

22:02

@Yuki McDuff was where?

Yuki

@3ventic Well, you'd have to get to NG before progressing to NG+.

@3ventic McDuff is in the Lost Bastille.

3ventic

Oh, he's the blacksmith I can't use yet

because he's just on about his flame ember

I need to go find that

Yuki

@3ventic Oh yeah, you need to get the Dull Ember from the Iron Keep.

3ventic

Yeah I'm not there yet

Yuki

It's not that far in. Are you still in Earthen Peak?

3ventic

22:03

Doesn't sound familiar

Yuki

@3ventic It's the windmill zone right after Harvest Valley.

3ventic

I'm still in Harvest Valley on that front

Yuki

Anyways, I can help you through tomorrow or something.

Or maybe later tonight.

Does anybody know of a way to make Steam's download scheduler work again when it decides to ignore it without having to exit and restart steam?

3ventic

I'd appreciate some help in harvest valley, that's for sure

Yuki

22:04

I won't be able to play until midnight CST today though.

Private Pansy

It seems strange for a game called The Last of Us to have a sequel

3ventic

that's in an hour or two?

Yuki

@3ventic More like 6-7 hours.

3ventic

I'll be at sleep by then

Yuki

@3ventic Then maybe tomorrow.

3ventic

22:05

heading to bed in about 2 hours

Yuki

I stop playing in the afternoon until way late at night because AAAAAAA IT'S FINALS WEEK I GOTTA STUDY.

Tim Stone

@PrivatePansy The sequel will just be an empty environment because there's no one left.

3ventic

Good luck

Q: Is the resources available to loot taken from your own stockpile?

After i got attacked i was watching the replay i noticed on the side there was a number for gold/elixir available to be looted. the attack occurred during a short while i was checking my email so when i came back in i had to wait a couple of minutes for the attack to end however i noticed that th...

Fluttershy

@PrivatePansy Something something Final Fantasy

3ventic

22:06

I didn't study at home at all for my finals :|

Yuki

@3ventic Yeah. I go to campus in the afternoons just so I don't distracted by games. Like Dark Souls.

3ventic

I only studied during lessons

came home to play/code when they ended

Being able to totally ignore stress is awesome

Yuki

@3ventic It's pretty awesome. I have to psych myself out to motivate studying though, which is annoying.

3ventic

I have issues motivating myself to study too..

Yuki

Random note, you probably shouldn't have increased Strength above 40, even though you only went two points above.

3ventic

22:11

Yeah I forgot the magic number

Yuki

The soft caps on stats seems to be 40 for almost all of them.

3ventic

It was the first stat I increased though

didn't increase others until it was 42, except maybe a few points of endurance

Yuki

@3ventic Ah. I shifted around with leveling my stats, mostly to match certain weapons.

3ventic

endurance gives 2 stamina per level but drops to 1 stamina per level at only 25 I think

Yuki

I began increasing DEX awhile back because I found out most weapons I was planning on using required at least 15-ish, if not higher.

3ventic

22:12

I assume it's going to stop giving stamina at all after 40

Frank

So what did I miss while I was at work?

Yuki

And INT after I found out the BKGS requires 12 INT.

3ventic

I was doing invasions and coop with random people at the same time earlier today

I helped a guy with a boss

Yuki

@3ventic I haven't done invasions at all.

spugsley

WHAT SHOULD WE EAT FOR DINNERRRRRRRRRRRRR

3ventic

22:13

and later I invaded the same guy and he was AFK at a boss door

FEichinger

@spugsley Food.

spugsley

I'm so hungry

GnomeSlice

I invaded a guy and beat him really badly, then helped him beat the boss

badp

@Frank how long have you been at work for?

Yuki

@3ventic Co-op is always fun. Unless you get one of those hosts that just sits back does nothing.

Frank

22:14

@badp Eight hours?

Maybe nine.

3ventic

I just one hit killed him with a backstab

spugsley

@FEichinger :3

Q: Arqade needs its moderators removed and the site given a review

Arqade operates after the credo "If I don't like it or I am personally offended by it, I remove it" and on the site there is a user base of two classes. Those who linger on chat to hang out with other high rep users and those who don't. If you dare to discuss those issues with those people on cha...

discussion moderators abuse deleted-comments

Arperum

@FEichinger DAMMIT YOU. I WAS GOING TO POST THAT

3ventic

@Yuki or the host lags like crap and everything teleports on your screen

Yuki

22:14

Expects you to clear the entire level for him. I got one of those once in Iron Keep. I just jumped into the lava.

badp

I hope @Sterno was suitably amused by today, btw

3ventic

The horse boss (charriot?) was awful when it was teleporting around the track

Fluttershy

@spugsley I'm having garlic bread and toasted ravioli.

Yuki

@3ventic Which boss?

Frank

@badp Yeah, saw that.

3ventic

22:15

@Yuki I don't remember

badp

aww

3ventic

I was helping people in Huntsman's Copse mostly

both of the bosses there

Jan 23 at 17:15, by OrigamiRobot

If someone says "food" or some other snarky variation thereof, I will eat them for lunch.

MBraedley

Ooh, this is going to be a good episode of Castle

Yuki

Also, you said you have two of the Old One Souls?

3ventic

22:15

mostly because I rarely get invaded there myself

Yuki

@MBraedley YES, IT WAS AWESOME.

3ventic

@Yuki the one from sinner and the one from black gulch

Frank

I find it amusing that I had absolutely nothing to do with the guy who figured I was harrassing him actually leaving.

Yuki

@3ventic Ah, I haven't gone down there yet.

3ventic

I think I found 3rd one, but didn't beat the boss yet

badp

22:16

@spugsley Margherita with rocket salad and sliced parmigiano

go

Yuki

@3ventic The spider?

spugsley

@badp mmmm

3ventic

@Yuki yeah

I assume the 4th one is at the end of the harvest valley path

Yuki

@3ventic Yeah, the Old Iron King in Iron Keep.

I'm gonna clear out Iron Keep, grab my BKGS in Belfry Sol (which I will do offline because BELL KEEPER RAGE), and then probably start on working my way towards the spider.

3ventic

BKGS?

Yuki

22:17

@3ventic Black Knight Greatsword.

3ventic

I'm going to need co-op with the spider

and I hate that I couldn't find a bonfire down there

FEichinger

@spugsley ASS

3ventic

the closest one is miles away

Yuki

@3ventic No problem, I'm up for that when I get there.

badp

Yuki

22:18

@3ventic You might be missing one behind a hidden wall or something.

3ventic

@Yuki What's your soul memory at, roughly?

GnomeSlice

@spugsley chicken nuggets

badp

This guy must've found it so good, he forgot to take a picture before eating

3ventic

@Yuki probably

Yuki

They did a lot better job with spreading out the bonfires in this game, I think.

Jason Berkan

22:19

@badp Go away, Italian person with yummy Italian food, and me not anywhere near Italy.

Yuki

@3ventic ~800k?

MBraedley

Also, application for new apartment is in hand. It'd be a bit of a downgrade on size and commute, but upgrade on location, view, and facilities

3ventic

True

@Yuki I'm at about 850k

badp

@JasonBerkan now now you should have all you need there

at least ingredient-wise

3ventic

didn't make any progress during the last 200k

Yuki

22:19

@3ventic Alternately, we could just grind co-op, invasions, or something and just bypass the four Old One Souls by getting 1M Soul Memory.

Jason Berkan

@badp I can't afford parmigiano.

badp

@JasonBerkan Perhaps grana padano? D:

Yuki

But I like boss fights so I won't do that.

3ventic

I've tried to avoid making progress without my coop partner, so I'm at like 33 hours playtime

he's at 13 hours playtime

but roughly the same area

Yuki

@3ventic You could always just make another character.

Fluttershy

22:20

@OrigamiRobot I'm gonna start answering "food" when you ask. All the time.

3ventic

I made one but I hate gathering the items again, so I prefer to do coop and invasions

Jason Berkan

Well, I can afford the dry powdered crap, but an actual block of parmesan cheese is pricey.

badp

A stick would do

GnomeSlice

> It's the last 36 hours of our Dwarf Tower crowdfunding campaign. Every backer will get a DRM free copy of the game on Steam. Please support the project!

lol

badp

They sell those here as snacks for kids or whatever

GnomeSlice

22:21

"drm free copy of the game on steam"

Frank

Has anyone else bought SE V?

3ventic

Stack Exchange five?

Frank

@3ventic Knew someone was going to say that. :P

Yuki

@Frank I thought we were still on SE 2.0.

Frank

Space Empires V.

badp

22:22

@3ventic Saint's Expressway 5

Arperum

@Frank I have it installed for quite some time now, haven't started it up yet though.

badp

@JasonBerkan In a pinch the actual powder thing works too. It will taste somewhat different, but not too much

Frank

@Arperum Well, give it a shot. If you have the time, anyways.

Panic Bomb

@GnomeSlice There exist games that don't have Steam DRM, you can just run the executable separately

Frank

It's a bit of a massive time sink.

Panic Bomb

22:24

But yeah, it's not quite the same as a standalone installer

badp

At the end of the day, it's still parmigiano on top of rocket

Jason Berkan

@badp That's what I keep at home for when we make pasta.

badp

@JasonBerkan Yes, that one.

Yuki

@MBraedley Oh and next week is the wedding.

Arperum

@Frank I plan on not buying any more games until I've played the ones I have (some more). I might make two exceptions this year though. And probably bundles and possibly sales.

badp

22:25

At the end of the day I think you have easier access to parmigiano than what Italians actually call "ham"

Frank

@Arperum Think Civ levels of time sink. And then double/triple/more it.

Arperum

I hope the steam summer sale is in the week of 21st july, because then I can't access a pc at all.

badp

@Arperum speaking of which - new weekly bundle tomorrow

@Arperum mobile app!!

Arperum

@badp My phone is in a state of "your SD is not recognized, no apps for you, not even taking pictures"

badp

@Arperum remove the SD?

Arperum

22:27

It's getting old and broken.

Frank

My phone just got moved over to the company's phone plan.

And I have another $50/month in my pocket!

badp

@Frank wee

Arperum

@badp Not helping, phone tells me it's removed. it isn't. Other SD card is no help. I just have to decide what other phone I want, and then inform my boss. I'm pretty sure I can get something reasonable if I ask for it.

badp

@Arperum what? your phone refuses to work without an SD?

Arperum

@badp Not entirely, the camera refuses thoguh, and the storage of the phone is nealry non-existent anyway.

badp

22:30

@Arperum What mobile it's gonna be, then?

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice YOU STOLE MY TROLLING.SE JOKE!

Arperum

@badp That is the question, I just have to decide. I want something that can easily fit in my pocket, so no near-tablet thing.

badp

@Arperum Go for a dumbphone and a tablet then

Chippies

@Arperum I think most phone cameras don't work without an SD card, at least in my experience

Arperum

The current thing mostly works, so I haven't been annoyed enough to make time free to decide what I want.

Chippies

22:31

which is why phones usually come bundled with SD cards

badp

I've chosen this path and I'm happy. The only downside is it's a pain to get contacts into and out of that thing

Origami Robot

Ugh, @Fluttershy is @RedRiderX now

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot What? O_o

Frank

Earth:2066 got pulled from Steam. Good.

badp

Pick one of them to ignore! easy peasy.

Yuki

22:33

@Fluttershy Getting inb4'd all day long?

Or is that @Unionhawk? I don't know why, but I keep confusing the two.

Fluttershy

I don't even know what's going on right now.

Arperum

@Yuki I'm pretty sure I'm the one getting INB4 all over the place ever.

MBraedley

22:57

Yeah, that was a good episode. Castle writers are always great, even when they're not inserting Firefly references.

Yuki

@MBraedley They really love their Firefly references.

Which is pretty awesome, I guess.

MBraedley

@Yuki I guess!? Firefly is awesome!

Yuki

The writing did lag a bit in Season 3, but they totally avoided the Moonlighting curse.

@MBraedley It really depends on whether or not you find the constant references grating after awhile.

Me, not so much. My sister? Got kinda annoyed.

MBraedley

@Yuki it's not constant, and, other than that one Holloween episode, usually aren't all that overt. My favourite, by far, is a totally stealth reference.

Also, oley, oley oley oley! Oleeeey, oleeeeey! CC @Ashley

Yuki

@MBraedley Which one? Two by two, hands of blue?

MBraedley

23:05

@Yuki no. Becket: Year abroad? Castle: No, a show I used to like.

Yuki

@MBraedley Ah.

They made a reference in a similar manner in the sci-fi convention episode.

FEichinger

@Yuki That wasn't exactly "subtle", though.

That was full-on frontal assault with all the reference-guns they had.

Also, I'm still here.

Yuki

@FEichinger I was more talking about that one line as they were walking in. "I'm a fan of good sci-fi. Like Star Trek, Battlestar [Galactica], that one Joss Whedon show."

Origami Robot

@FEichinger I'm here too, but I don't see you.

Unless you are my cat

Yuki

Which, I guess, wasn't all that subtle either.

Oh, did you know that the actress who plays Alexis cosplayed as Mal for Comi-Con once?

MBraedley

Hehe, the old Hockey Night in Canada theme was playing in the background. Yeah, CBC doesn't own the rights to that anymore.

MBraedley

@Yuki actually, it is

Yuki

@StrixVaria Ah. But is it capitalized?

MBraedley

@Yuki yes, it should be

StrixVaria

@Yuki I was clearly going for all lowercase for maximum disgustedness.

Frank

23:52

@StrixVaria Are you expressing disgust at the spelling, or of us in general?

StrixVaria

@Frank Of the Canadiens. The hockey team.

Frank

This is acceptable.
