I think the level progress bar should delay/reset/remove progress when enemies get past
 
@murgatroid99 Every 12 levels will give you and extra scrap on ascension. If you want 1 at a time that's fine
@Rapitor So in order to level up you have to kill that many without any reaching the end?
that's hardcore
 
yeah.
 
@Batophobia oh, I didn't catch that
 
there's no.. challenge? risk? I can just leave it going and eventually kill things
 
@Rapitor it would make it so much slower though
 
9:01 PM
@Batophobia It's definitely worth trying, but it might need a rebalance to work
 
there health doesnt seem to reset when they do another lap
@Batophobia ascend once it gets slow
 
How about if they reach the end it adds # of ascensions?
 
@Batophobia you're still getting money, though
 
the ascend bonus will let you get further on the next go
 
I'm thinking early game
Even just getting the spawn button would take a while
 
9:03 PM
@Batophobia the spawn button isn't useful until you ascend anyway
 
Should those enemies that reach the end then die or what?
Otherwise you have the max number of enemies you have to kill before they hit the end
 
maybe, if the player isnt getting kills they arent getting money, yeah? if things are getting past they won't be able to progress
i think before the first ascension no penalty is ok...
 
I think each one that gets by will add # of times you've ascended. First play, no penalty. Also encourages to go farther per ascension
 
I think that enemies that reach the end should remove progress but return to the beginning as they currently do, with no ascension penalty
 
my issue is im now at lvl 49. tons are getting past, but i'm still picking stragglers off. so i'm getting much money, more than i probably should
 
9:06 PM
@Rapitor Those high-end towers are expensive
and upgrades are not always cheap
 
@Rapitor the problem is that those stragglers probably went around more than once. If they died for no resources at the end of one run, you'd get no money at all
 
^
stops the game pretty quick there
 
@Batophobia why go for high level towers when spitballs are ridiculous
 
@Rapitor quadratic price increase
 
the radius is the ENTIRE field
 
9:08 PM
Maybe achievements should have some benefit. That would be an incentive for diversity
 
Spitball tower price made me get a scrollbar for the right menu
@murgatroid99 Achievements are the incentive :D
 
@Batophobia I mean, if you look at Cookie Clicker or Clicker Hero, there's a small in-game benefit to having achievements
 
hmmm
 
what kind of benefits would work?
an increase in stats?
 
HALLLLLOOOOOOO
 
9:11 PM
@Rapitor Increase in base spawning rate?
That speeds up money-making, overall
Well, idle money making
 
if you want to get really bonkers, when you get enough achievements for one type of turret, randomly place one on the map at like 30 second intervals
 
@Rapitor Turret spawners would be amazing
And probably super OP
 
@murgatroid99 you don't choose the spawn location
 
@Rapitor I get the feeling this would end up crashing the game eventaully
 
it could go in a useless corner
 
9:12 PM
@Rapitor with max upgrades, it doesn't matter
 
true story
 
Copied straight from Wikipedia.
As should have the excerpt.
We seem to have an issue with users copying straight from Wikipedia lately.
 
sooo my editor left TC today. Unexpectedly :/ I got an email that said "Someone will be in touch with you about your contract."
fucking stress
 
Perhaps something we should bring up on meta?
 
probably won't even hear anything til Monday
 
9:15 PM
@Frank Is this same user?
 
@Unionhawk Different one now.
 
Ah
 
Wow, level 60 is crazy
 
It's less an issue of users copying, but more of reviewers not understanding that copying for wiki's without attribution isn't kosher.
That said, this user's had a copied content reject before.
They should be aware that copypasta isn't right.
 
That's true
 
9:21 PM
@Rapitor <drools>
 
@murgatroid99 v1.5 pushed, enemies reaching the end will now add back to progression bar based on # of ascensions
 
@Batophobia +1
 
@Rapitor Wait, "largest"?
Aww...
 
@Yuuki almost makes me regret working so hard to imperial clipper.... almost
I'm 2 ranks away from top of the empire.
@Yuuki it looks like its going to be similar to the anaconda, just a big effin gunship
 
9:36 PM
@Batophobia I like this change. It creates a tradeoff between spawning enough enemies to advance quickly and not spawning so many that you don't advance at all
 
@Rapitor Ew.
I mean, that's beautiful for everyone that's into that, but I don't want a gunship.
@Frank I think reviewers probably don't recognize copying from a wiki.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Ok, just checked, the quality of big hero 6 is great. cc @yuuki
 
@5pike Eh, I'm going to be getting it on Google Play regardless.
 
Alright, just wanted to help.
 
@Yuuki Oh God no
 
9:45 PM
@Yuuki It needs to be recognized that tag wikis require a bit more due diligence than just a straight reading.
 
> “Game of Thrones” for a family audience
So not Game of Thrones at all?
 
@Batophobia I'm struggling to think of what that would be.
Pull out the killing and sex and you are left with, dragons?
 
@JasonBerkan and snow
wait..that's Skyrim
 
@Batophobia And Netflix announces "Skyrim with guns".
 
@Rapitor I've run through one playthrough of Anime Studio Story. Verdict: it's not very hard at all. Or complex.
 
9:51 PM
@Yuuki Skyrim with Angry Birds fighting Tetris-built, Minesweeper-defended Halo
 
> Also 4 player online co op confirmed
 
@Yuuki That's why it needs a Blu Ray.
 
@Yuuki wat
 
@Batophobia I found a bug in your 1.4 update: if you select a tower to build, then buy an upgrade, you can still place the tower. I ended up with $-90,000.
 
@fredley Pft, Liar
 
I have extracted @Wipqozn's tears this week
I have no further need for RB
 
@fredley I don't trust anything anymore
 
@Frank For a tag description that actually seems like a good source? Maybe just cite it?
 
10:13 PM
@James The point isn't that they copied.
It's that they didn't add attribution.
That's exactly what the reject reason is for.
 
We're perfectly within licence if and only if we have attribution
(from wikipedia anyway)
 
And we can't add attribution for excerpts, so copied content there needs an unequivocal reject.
 
@Frank No its not. It doesnt say 'If you use this amount of information from an external source, cite it' It says.. well you can read what it says. That information on the web is not specific enough for our needs.
.. yeah cause - Source: Wikiepedia is.. hard to type.
/me goes back to work
 
@murgatroid99 fixed
 
@Batophobia game link
 
10:17 PM
@fredley You'd have it if you didn't modabuse it the first time
 
@Batophobia alright alright
 
on a side note, I got trapped in playing ClickCraft again
 
@fredley I'm still crying.
I can't beleive I fell for that.
I was paying too much attention to my work.
This will teach me to work at work.
 
@Wipqozn Look at it this way: You got paid to watch a bit of Rebecca Black.
 
@Frank That's a terrible way to look at it
 
10:21 PM
@Frank I didn't actually watch it.
 
@Batophobia So watching it and not getting paid is better?
 
You're job right now is to watch this video
 
My flash is outdated on my work laptop, since I'm too lazy to update it, so I need to give approval for youtube videos to run first.
 
@Wipqozn But you spent time accessing the page.
 
@Frank Yes, but that's not what you said
 
10:22 PM
@Batophobia green dots are OP
 
I AM TECHNICALLY CORRECT! THE BEST KIND OF CORRECT
 
@fredley All dots are OP
especially the bigger light-blue ones
all P-shooter run is nice lazer show
I should try an all Lazer run
 
Sometimes get really long lines flashing across
 
I think that's something to do with the looping of the enemies
didn't care enough to look into it too much
 
@Yuuki FYI, the relevant time spots are 18:33/18:37.
Female armor has one extra set, it seems.
 
10:26 PM
What does a manual spawner do?
 
Gives you a button to manually spawn enemies
 
@Batophobia Why would I want that?
 
@fredley Enemies spawn really slowly
 
@Batophobia I always have more than I can 'cope' with
 
for now....
 
10:33 PM
What does LVL do?
 
Like tower level upgrade?
or the number in the bottom left?
 
@Batophobia yeah
tower level
 
Upgrades the tower level, which gives increase to all stats

Q: 1 trophy away from platinum

NayphanI know it's very unlikely but I have 1 trophy left on WWE 2K15 on the Playstation 3 but the console doesn't play discs anymore (only downloaded games). Is there any way at all, not involving a PC off any kind that I can run this game on my Playstation 4 to get this last trophy?

 
@Batophobia cool
spitball only run would be fun
what does ascension give?
 
10:43 PM
@fredley scrap
 
@murgatroid99 does it just destroy all my towers then, or reset stats/cash too?
 
@fredley restarts, except that you keep upgrades
 
@murgatroid99 oh neat
 
Off to an interview, ping me if you have more suggestions
 
@fredley scrap appears to give bonus to starting cash and passive cash gain
 
10:47 PM
@murgatroid99 neat
I'm level 20, good point for first ascend?
 
@fredley wait for 24
 
@murgatroid99 k
 
2 hours ago, by Batophobia
@murgatroid99 Every 12 levels will give you and extra scrap on ascension. If you want 1 at a time that's fine
 
I HAVE FRIDAY STUCK IN MY HEAD NOW
I DIDN'T EVEN LISTEN TO THE SONG
 
@Wipqozn that just means @Sterno has won
bowser amiibo - best amiibo
 
10:57 PM
.oh god it's friday is't it
3
 
Nothing happening after first ascension
 
@djsmiley2k for 3 more minutes!
THEN I AM FREE FROM THE FRIDAYNESS
 
11:11 PM
@Chippies Is that your collection?
 
@RedRiderX yeah
slowly growing
 
Very nice!
 
I love how Luigi's neck fits right nice into Bowsers hand
 
Hah
 
11:14 PM
@Wipqozn I would have starred this if basically anyone else said it.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Well I guess it makes sense now
With Star Wars coming back too
 
@RedRiderX Also, Rick Moranis is slowly coming out of retirement now that his kids are grown.
 
@fredley Even as I clicked, I knew I had been had
You bastard.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz This is glorious news.
@RedRiderX I'm glad I didn't click it then, but I was still fooled.
 
@Wipqozn AND THE TITLE IS EXACTLY WHAT IT MUST BE.
 
11:24 PM
Wooo! I have a signed tracklist!

Q: How to claim counties of my duchy?

SuseikaI am playing as an English count of Northampton in 1070s. The English king has given me the Duchy of Wessex, but I don't have contol over the Wessex county. I can't declare war on Wessex: all the conditions are met other than that crown laws don't allow me to attack other counts of the kingdom. B...

 
@5pike You can buy it on Amazon and other digital streaming services already. It's out digitally before it is out physically
@LessPop_MoreFizz Well of course. I mean it was announced during the last one.

11:39 PM
The fuck why would you even did we not learn our lesson from last time?
 
RadioShack is going bankrupt, BattleBots is coming back...
I feels like we're doing it all over again.
 
> The Wall Street Journal reports Netflix and Nintendo are in the early stages of producing a live-action
Nope, I didn't need to read beyond that
2
 
@AshleyNunn Because Netflix are smart enough to hire competent writers who have a clue?
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I dunno, man. I am quite skeptical.
 
@AshleyNunn Oh, so am I. But not really because the old animated series was so awful.
 
11:50 PM
Any network tech interested in working with me? We've got a position open.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's that and I don't trust video-game-turned-tv-show-or-movie in general
 
I think that's neither here nor there to why this project will fail; past projects were pretty clearly cash in shovel-productions. This doesn't feel like that - I suspect that there's going to be an honest attempt by reasonably talented people to make something good here. They might fail at it, but lots of honest attempts by reasonably talented people to make something good fail.
 
user15026
shrug
 
user15026
I am still allowed to be skeptical.
 
@AshleyNunn Indeed! I'm skeptical too! It just has little to nothing to do with how bad the old animated zelda series was.
 
11:54 PM
Ticket for Paganfest bought! Going to do my birthday on a show with 8 bands.
 
Like, I fully expect this to suck, but the reasons it will probably suck have nothing to do with lessons learned from last time, because the main lesson to take away from last time is not "this can't be adapted" but rather "hire writers and actors who are good at their jobs."
 
It's live action. I'm not even skeptical anymore, I'm just going to flat out ignore it. There have been 0 good live action adaptations of any video game, let alone one as steeped in magical and mystical fantasy as Zelda
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz For you, perhaps.
 
@Ktash The Tomb Raider films were pretty good.
 
@AshleyNunn Yes. For me. because I am expressing my opinions that differ from yours.
That is how this whole conversation thing usually works?
 
11:57 PM
hhmmm
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I am in full understanding of that.
 
under my keys on BoI there is now a red... pentagram?
 
@djsmiley2k means you're in hard mode
 
what does it mean D:
o_O whoops
 
If this live action Zelda is to happen, I demand that at the very least, they at some point have Link begin to say "well excu--" before getting elbowed in the ribs or something.
 
11:58 PM
@GnomeSlice The Tomb Raider movies were... they weren't bad. But they weren't good. They were action movies with tomb raider slapped on and they had the same level of care for characters and plot that the games had, which was a little lacking.
 
Yeah but as flashy entertaining action flicks they were pretty enjoyable.
Kind of like, well yeah, the games.
 
The first movie was better than the second. The second was just an excuse to put Angelina Jolie on screen for 2 hours
