@Frank wow
 
@badp ew
Personally I hate the way mac does antialiasing
So blurry
 
FAE
Ugh I had to bike 10km in the rain today
I hate everything
 
High DPI Windows 8 apps look great. Very glad Chrome has a high DPI mode eveni f it requires a registry hack
hopefully that'll be changed in an update
 
@FAE I usually reach a crazy kind of delirious joy when doing that
 
@fredley you're weird
 
4:03 PM
@fredley that's just the heroin
 
FAE
@fredley You're British, thus crazy.
 
This kind of feeling
Once you're as wet as you're going to be anyway, just enjoy it!
 
@fredley you're from Britland???
 
@GnomeSlice You... didn't know this?
 
4:04 PM
I thought you were American
I'm sure you were American
 
@GnomeSlice I have no idea how on earth you managed to think that
 
You're definitely American
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice He stated in his moderator thing even
 
I use British spelling, always
 
No...
 
4:05 PM
I mention it frequently
 
@FAE I didn't participate in the last mod election.
 
FAE
because he could cover non-American hours
 
I am awake during British hours
Look at my chat activity graph
 
@fredley Also in your profile
 
You're away right now
 
FAE
4:05 PM
I just don't know how one could mistake @fredley for anything but British, ever.
 
Is right now a british hour?
 
Fine, don't onebox
 
He's the one who I argue with about biscuits occasionally.
 
@Unionhawk frequently
 
FAE
Also pants.
 
4:06 PM
More than once, I'll concede only that much.
 
I am, like, maximally British
 
Canadian is like fake British
 
Dec 12 '12 at 14:05, by fredley
@badp British people are excellent mods, comes from decades of enslaving moderating the world!
Jun 8 '13 at 14:02, by fredley
Evidence: I am British
 
That's so weird
I missed all of that I guess
 
Wow
Just wow
 
4:09 PM
wow, that picture is gigantic
 
@FAE nah, @fei is usually the one who insists on the British usage of "pants"
 
@GnomeSlice wow
 
Today's Listening | Electronic / Downtempo / Ambient
 
@Unionhawk I have argued with fei about this many times
 
I'm now worried that @GnomeSlice doesn't know my nationality.
 
4:10 PM
@RonanForman You're from Britland too, I know that
...Right?
 
@GnomeSlice @RonanForman is Canadian...
 
@fredley What
 
@GnomeSlice HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW?
 
No he's not. I've heard him speak in minecraft, he's british
NICE TRY NERD
 
4:12 PM
@GnomeSlice Your accent is not sufficient to geolocate you
 
Have you not also heard @fredley talk though?
 
It is possible to be British and live in Canada, and also to be Canadian
 
@RonanForman are you British
@RonanForman nope
 
@RonanForman He has, he's just forgotten
 
@GnomeSlice Yes.
 
4:12 PM
@RonanForman :(
 
I KNEW IT
 
@fredley I couldn't do it. Pretending to not be British is, painful.
 
@RonanForman Aw
I'm trying to picture myself as an American
and failing
I just can't do it

A: Kingdom Hearts Timeline

MikeWait shouldnt coded /re-coded be in between Kingdom hearts 1 and 2 :/ since even though in chain of memories he gets put to sleep and in between as well roxas events on 358/2 days takes place but sora regaining his meories aint awswered should coded be in that section as well since u fo pl...

English, mothafucka, do you speak it
This seems to me like a rant about lack of continuity and not an actual answer but I might be wrong
I can't understand every second word of it
That works.
 
@badp Seems like he is citing the titles from the different Kingdom Hearts games.
 
4:20 PM
@badp most of the nonsense words in there are actually Kingdom Hearts titles
 
@BenBrocka well yes but they're still opaque to me.
Anyway; post deleted.

Q: Should we include the game title in questions?

ValityFirstly, I personally believe this is not a duplicate of Question with Vague title as this question is a lot more specific while that one covered a broad number of points and was thus difficult to answer, I also find it difficult to understand due to the mix of stating opinion, stating fact and a...

 
FAE
@badp It is not an answer
It is indeed mostly ranting/speculation about continuity and plot.
 
d'awwww
 
@GnomeSlice I GOT TO LEVEL 8 AND WAS VERY CLOSE TO GETTING IT
I ONLY NEED TO SOLVE THE TIMING ISSUE
 
4:25 PM
@BenBrocka Yeah. They're using some silly internet DRM on it, so I guess when they axe their DRM server, it kills the game, too.
 
STUPID COLLISIONS
 
@OrigamiRobot Longer conveyors
 
IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE
 
@Frank Is there any other kind of DRM?
sensible, non-internet DRM
 
I NEED THE CONVEYOR TO BE 1 BLOCK LONGER
 
4:25 PM
@OrigamiRobot Did you A+ level 7?
@OrigamiRobot Ohhh.
 
IDK
I GOT REALLY FED UP WITH THE TERRIBLE CONTROLS
 
@fredley OpenID!!!!!1111one
 
@OrigamiRobot They aren't too bad. If you need to be precise you can just click a single conveyor to rotate it.
 
@fredley Nope. DRM automatically means silly.

Q: Origin games on Amazon PC Download service

vartecIf I buy an Origin activated game on Amazon's PC Download (i.e. not key from „PC Instant Access”), what would I actually get? According to generic Amazon's page I would need their downloader software, and there is 3 KB (sic!) of download. Is that really the case, or would I actually just get Or...

 
4:27 PM
The day Steam shutters is going to be a fun day on the Internet
 
@Frank saves are online only I guess (because cheating would get around their IAPs!)
 
@GnomeSlice THE PRECISION YOU NEED IS FAR GREATER THAN THE GRAPHICS IMPLY
 
@badp I don't think that will happen any time soon.
 
@GnomeSlice Nothing is forever!
 
@badp If Steam shutters, by then everything else will be available somewhere else.
Probably directly within my brain
 
4:30 PM
@OrigamiRobot any idea how I can save one more tile on this:
38 / 37
 
I CAN'T SEE THAT FROM WORK
 
Woo! Hollow Fragment sequel has been greenlit!
 
@OrigamiRobot How about that one?
 
I haven't even played Hollow Fragment yet, and I'm happy about that.
 
@Frank ...before it's even out?
 
4:31 PM
@GnomeSlice Straighten up that bend above "ACC"
 
It's probably out in japan already I guess
 
@BenBrocka It's out in Japan.
 
@badp Can't build on the broken tiles.
 
@GnomeSlice Can you move the ACC?
 
@GnomeSlice I CAN SEE THAT, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO SAVE A TILE
 
4:32 PM
@badp Yes.
@OrigamiRobot Hergh.
 
Move it one to the right?
 
@GnomeSlice OH, SHIFT THE TOP ACC UP
 
@OrigamiRobot I tried that.
 
still 38
It has to be that long or they collide
 
4:33 PM
@GnomeSlice I MEAN SHIFT EVERYTHING FROM THE LINE OF BROKEN TILES UP
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh, yeah that might do it
 
YOU LOSE TWO AND GAIN ONE
 
Yeee, 37 / 37

Q: Breaking out of ice?

unorWhen your character gets frozen, is there anything you can do to break out faster? I read that you should move the analog stick in a specific way, for example in a thread on pso-world.com: One of the little tricks from PSO was that when you were frozen, if you wiggled the analogue stick left...

 
4:33 PM
Nice, thanks
I still need to figure out how to cut three tiles out of #7 too
 
SHOW ME
 
@OrigamiRobot
 
@GnomeSlice What game is this?
 
aka smart people game
 
@GnomeSlice Sounds like my kinda game
 
4:39 PM
@fredley It's pretty good.
$6.99
 
@GnomeSlice can you move the bottom of the right thing up one, and the left arrow in the middle top of the right thing down one?
that looks like it saves 3
 
Slightly more on IGS, but it comes with soundtrack and some exclusive bonus levels.
 
@GnomeSlice YOU KNOW YOU CAN CHANGE THE INITIAL STATE OF THE MACHINES, RIGHT?
 
@OrigamiRobot Yep.
 
K
YOU MIGHT HAVE TO REDESIGN THAT ONE TO GET 3 LESS TILES
 
4:40 PM
@Sconibulus 'right thing'?
@OrigamiRobot argh
K I'll just leave it for now
 
@GnomeSlice section south of the second machine
 
@Sconibulus I can't shorten it or the boxes don't enter the left machine in the right order.
 
oh, ok
 
I want to actually beat some of the ones I haven't beaten yet, I only have 14 out of like all of the levels unlocked
50 Regular levels + 15 bonus levels + 15 exclusive bonus levels for IGS
blugh
 
4:43 PM
WHAT IF YOU DO THAT?
DOES IT MESS UP THE TIMING?
 
@OrigamiRobot Yes.
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh, dear. What are you guys playing?
 
Wait
Do what, exactly
 
SHIFT EVERYTHING UP, OBV
 
That might save one
 
4:44 PM
CHANGE THE 1ST OUTPUT OF THE RIGHT TR TO <-
 
5 mins ago, by GnomeSlice
 
@GnomeSlice YEA, YOU CAN DEFINITELY SAVE ONE BY SHIFTING IT UP
 
Yea, 42 / 40
 
@GnomeSlice REMOVE THE BOTTOM TWO CONVEYORS FROM THERIGHTMOST THING THEN
YOU DON'T NEED THEM
 
@fredley Oh, it requires a download. Yeah, not playing that.
 
4:46 PM
@Frank nobody asked you to
@OrigamiRobot yeah I do
 
@GnomeSlice ONLY ONE BLUE BLOCK USES IT AND IT HAS PLENTY OF SPACE AHEAD OF IT
 
No.
Let me show you
It needs to get behind the yellow one

Q: Any good idea for huge mansions?

MinecraftiagalSoooo...I'm building a fancy neighborhood where ALL the houses are mansions. I looked up a lot of mansions on YouTube, but none of them seem to be interesting for me. Any ideas for an amazing mansion that you could make out of: cobblestone, bedrock (Don't ask), all the woods, especially Jungle ...

 
TRY THIS THEN
THAT SHOULD GIVE IT AN EVEN LONGER DELAY
 
Great Permutator seems like it's a lot like SpaceChem
 
4:51 PM
@Powerlord It is
@OrigamiRobot That worked
I don't know why I didn't think of that.
 
I AM A HERO
SPORTS GO SPORTS
 
GO TEAM YEAH
@OrigamiRobot now this one pls
The thing on the top, they go in the right and come out the left and vice versa
I can move those action blocks around too
 
MOVE THE ACC OVER ONE
 
I haven't even come close to getting this one
 
NOT SURE IF YOU CAN MAKE THAT FIT THOUGH
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot lmao
 
@FAE SHUT UP IT WORKS
MECHANICALLY
I THINK YOU NEED TO REVERSE THE SIDES THOUGH
 
@fredley Took me a while to figure out what it was even saying, but now that I have that's really awesome.
 
@GnomeSlice CAN YOU GIVE ME A SS OF THE EMPTY FIELD?
 
@OrigamiRobot this might work
Hm, maybe not
I don't think it will fit on the field
Yeah there's not enough room for that
 
5:07 PM
My mother is now literally two taps away from uploading a cat video on YouTube
oh technology
 
@badp my grandma has a tablet. Took my mom 5 minutes to explain how to look at a news website
I'm not sure what she actually uses the tablet for, emails and pictures I guess
we really should have got her a chromebook instead of a windows laptop
I always doubted that, at best you could run debug code on a retail unit probably.
 
Not sure what the issue is, especially given that the actual reason remains confidential
It's probably something like "It would be trivial to run any given game in debug mode"
 
@badp Not sure what you mean. Could disable it for retail games
 
@BenBrocka Dump game to disk, switch debug bit on or whatever, use the SDK to load it on your console and play
 
UGH, THIS IS SO CLOSE
THERE WILL BE A COLLISION THOUGH
 
5:16 PM
Dump game to disk how? I doubt piracy was a factor here, they would have total control over the debug mode, they would have to manually give you the ability to pirate for it to matter

Q: Where is my End Portal?

GigazelleI'm working towards beating the Ender Dragon on hardcore vanilla Minecraft. I've gotten myself all the way up to locating the stronghold, however the End Portal is nowhere to be seen. I had 10 Eyes of Ender, and used up all but one of them to find the exact coordinates of where the eye ends up: ...

 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, right at the top
hm
so how do I apply?
 
@GnomeSlice With your MIND!
 
5:33 PM
@GnomeSlice WHAT LEVEL IS THIS?
 
@OrigamiRobot 14
not sure what I think about this
 
Aha
That looks like it might workl
 
@badp I don't see what running in debug mode would gain anyone. None of the debugging information is there, so it's not like you'd be able to see any game specific source code, and it's unlikely that you'd see and of the API code either. Most, if not all DRM will still be present, for example.
 
5:48 PM
I thought the whole point was that DRM wouldn't be active in debug mode
 
@badp Any DRM that's baked into a release build will be there, including any linked APIs.
Now DRM that lives outside the executable might be disabled, though.
 
@GnomeSlice That's part of the interview!!
 
@badp :o
 
@GnomeSlice Aren't you excited yet?
 
I need to describe myself/my LP channel and I have no idea how
 
5:51 PM
@BenBrocka "I'm a dude that does LPs."
 
@BenBrocka Is there a particular type of game you tend to have more content for?
 
Maybe throw catchwords like "Indie" in there too
 
It's for developers to throw games in my general direction
Yeah going to include a focus on artsy games I guess, and short stuff, or at least stuff I can show a 15-30 minute segment and give a good impression of
 
@BenBrocka Do you have any long series where you play the same game over and over and over or do you mostly focus on breadth of content?
 
Breadth mostly
 
5:54 PM
Just trying to come up with things you could highlight in a short description.

Q: Is it worth spending the coin on turn 1 to summon a Novice Engineer

toryanNovice Engineer is a 1/1 creature, costs 2 mana and allows the player to draw a card when it is played. Is it worth playing the coin on the first turn to summon this card, sacrificing future mana advantage for immediate card advantage?

 
There are a lot of channels that just have a billion videos of the same thing (VintageBeef).
 
@BenBrocka "I showcase/play through shorter off-beat games with my personal brand of humor. I don't care if it's a glorified Flash game, but the game should be bold enough to try something different." or somethin'
 
And a lot of channels that have a billion videos all about different things (TotalBiscuit).
 
@BenBrocka Check out some other channels' bios
@StrixVaria NorthernLion has like 400 episodes of Binding of Isaac
it's dumb
 
5:55 PM
Well I also play non-glorified flash games
 
@GnomeSlice I think he's up to like 800.
 
@StrixVaria ..........
How
 
@GnomeSlice he seems like a cool guy but I don't know how he/his audience can stand it
 
> Let's Play - The Binding of Isaac - Episode 862
And each one is like 40 minutes.
 
@StrixVaria Ben's channel is surprisingly similar to TB's. Here's a game and this is what I think as I play it! Ben just skips the option menu or technical assessments and normally ignores games that are any popular
 
FAE
5:56 PM
Some people are just fun to watch play stuff
 
@StrixVaria >_>
@BenBrocka btw you should request a copy of FRACT OSC from IGS and do a video about that
 
@badp stuff I play rarely has option menus to speak of or a significant reason to assess technically
 
FAE
@GnomeSlice I've had this game on my wishlist for a while
 
@GnomeSlice I think he's played more Binding of Isaac than I have Diablo 3, Skyrim, and all Final Fantasy games combined.
 
@BenBrocka That never stopped TB from talking about the option menu.
He just talks about how there isn't one and what there should've been in it.
 
FAE
5:58 PM
I always check options first thing too. >_>
 
Oh right he's a bit of a PC snob too
 
I only check the options first if the game is obviously not using the right resolution.
 
@FAE I've always done that too.
 
I usually open the options first but there's plenty of games that dont' need much
 
With my laptop it was to set everything to the lowest settings
 
5:58 PM
When Dark Souls first launched it was in a window the same size as the monitor not centered on the screen.
 
@StrixVaria I hate everything assuming they should launch to 720p
 
Now it's to set everything to the highest settings!!
 
FAE
@StrixVaria Subtitles are a high priority for me, as is Vsync
 
Also to set them to windowed mode
 
When DS launched it wasnt' capable of high resolutions, was it?
 
5:59 PM
and yeah subtitles danke
 
@FAE I just force vsync now
 
@FAE Oh actually I do look for subtitles if there's a lot of dialog.
 
Though I managed to find a game somehow completely immune to vsync
