@fredley Sounds like a good question for lifehacks

Rapitor

lifehacks is basically yahoo answers....

Wipqozn

@Rapitor Yeah, that just occurred to me.

I wonder how long it will be until SE loses all it's cred because people are starting to link to Lifehacks like they link to Yahoo! Answers.

Unionhawk

Rapitor

@Wipqozn its my understanding that SE doesn't really want to touch lifehacks... just letting them have their little corner of derp.

@Rapitor I think it's a litmus test for less orthodox communities, and whether they work or not

Unionhawk

subreddit pulled up waiting for the official word

fredley

CMs have been involved, but only as far as trying to nudge it towards working out its own identity

Unionhawk

God, I forgot, all anyone does on the forums is complain about shit

Rapitor

WHY DO I HAVE A BLUE NOTIFICATION

Unionhawk

HI WELCOME TO 10K

Rapitor

6:13 PM

ITS SCARY

I DON'T LIKE RESPONSIBILITY

Unionhawk

Just hit "Not sure" if you have no idea what's going on with it

10 "Not sure"s count as 1 "invalid", so it does count for something

Frank

@fredley That is horrifyingly bad advice.

Unionhawk

(that was my decision on that flag, maybe spammy, but I also don't care enough to see context or whatnot)

Frank

@Unionhawk Really? I thought it was more, "I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS GO AWAY!"

Unionhawk

@Frank It is that, but I think I remember "Not sure" meaning a fraction of a thing

Can't find it now

Rapitor

6:20 PM

does everyone on SE with 10k get the flag?

Unionhawk

Yes

The flag notification goes to all users with 10k network rep

(excluding association bonuses)

TheAce

ugh i REALLY can't wait till tomorrow

Unionhawk

Okay, can't find anything of the sort. I must be making shit up.

Rapitor

Unionhawk

6:31 PM

That's literally a clipper price.

Let's be real here

Rapitor

yeah

vulture is overpirced

Unionhawk

I can see fdl at 90. It's high, but it also looks real nice

Rapitor

vulture should be <10 imo.

Origami Robot

@Unionhawk But a Python is only 55m

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, but a python also flies like a bus

@Batophobia I asctually might not play it for a couple hours.

I think I want to finish up two quests in MH4U first, and then eat.

Unionhawk

Rapitor

@OrigamiRobot expected.

@Unionhawk i don't want to grind to get a ship I want to grind to upgrade/build that ship.

Origami Robot

Glad I got to fly it in beta.

Rapitor

i finished building my cobra to how I like it, but now i don't want to play or do anything else because every other "better" ship in the game is too damn expensive

Origami Robot

I'll be back when professions get a balance pass.

Unionhawk

6:46 PM

I should buy a cobra for noncombat purposes.

It's the only way to make money in this blasted game.

GnomeSlice

That sounds like real life

not everybody can be a mercenary

go out and mine asteroids or something

Unionhawk

All the people on the forums who say it's not really space trucking simulator 2 can suck it. They are wrong.

Origami Robot

I don't think it is that at all.

Unionhawk

I should know, I'm an expert in wrong.

Origami Robot

That's what you should do if you want to make money fast.

Unionhawk

6:49 PM

Yes

Sterno

I haven't bought Cities yet

Grace Note

Frank

@GraceNote facepalm

Rapitor

i don't really see the whole thing about commodity trading. i mean... first of all. you need money to even get started, and then the profit is only around 1-2k per ton. so a 40 ton trip (cobra) still will only net you around 40-80k. when a couple minutes in nav beacon and some lucky spawns can get you 100k in bounties

Unionhawk

@Rapitor commodity trading scales with ship size

Origami Robot

6:52 PM

For the record, I think the prices for the ships are fair. I just don't want to spend the amount of time it would take with bounties and I don't want to trade.

@Rapitor Also, rare trading.

Unionhawk

I probably spent too much time on the forums, all the complain rubbed off on me

Sterno

Alright. I think I avoided buying Cities

So long as you guys shut up about it

$30 is a lot for a game I won't have time to play

Rapitor

@Sterno Just play MH4U

Sterno

@Rapitor That got boring

Unionhawk

@Sterno Welp, you have not avoided it then.

I think what @Sterno is saying is that he wants us to ping him everytime we talk about Cities:Skylines

Matt Giltaji

@Frank ooh, a sequel?

Frank

@MattGiltaji Maybe a reboot. I don't know.

Sterno

It's probably on Kickstarter, so @Frank can't back it

Unionhawk

Boom

Frank

All I know is that I grew up on Descent.

@Sterno Yes, it is, and no, I won't.

I have too much to play. And while I love Descent, I ain't backing another thing on Kickstarter.

It says it'll be out in a year. I sorta doubt that one.

Rapitor

@OrigamiRobot painful

GnomeSlice

Origami Robot

@Rapitor I don't know what that means in this context.

Rapitor

i mean fighting wanted FDLs is going to be painful

Origami Robot

7:18 PM

I meant the actual bounties. The reward.

Adding two expensive ships might also add valuable bounties and thus make bounty hunting more viable.

Unionhawk

@ori lol

Rapitor

but we are still in cheap crappy ships!

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot oooooooooOoOOOOOOOOooooo

@Rapitor fighting anacondas is viable, no?

Rapitor

@Unionhawk barely. usually after an anaconda fight it's repair time.

Origami Robot

@Rapitor That can be solved by getting better at combat.

@GnomeSlice We're talking about being fighters.

Frank

@GnomeSlice Oh, the Descent lookalike?

GnomeSlice

@Frank Yeah.

Rapitor

7:23 PM

combat ability doesn't matter when the turreted multi cannons NPC anacondas have are involved. even the chaff launch doesn't help.

GnomeSlice

Origami Robot

@Wipqozn Something with a nice blend of beaches and mountains would be nice if that's an option

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I want something with an island, if it exists.

Q: Is talisman melding random?

When going through the caravan, you eventually unlock the ability to meld 3 talismans into one new one. Does it matter what talismans I meld for the result?

Wipqozn

@Sterno I don't believe so

StrixVaria

Remote install installed Cities Skylines on my laptop instead of my desktop, so now I have to wait for it to download on my other computer.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria Scumbag remote install

Sterno

Do you have to manage money and whatnot, or is it just a place you can build whatever you want, whether it makes sense or not?

Or, in other words, is there an actual game, or is it just a building sandbox?

Wipqozn

@Sterno You do need to manage and whatnot. You need to worry about water (including where to dump your sewage, whcih causes water pollution), traffic, electicity, et cetear

Sterno

8:22 PM

But can I just create 9000 sewage treatment plants, cost be damned?

Or are there taxes and all that good stuff

Wipqozn

@Sterno taxes and that good stuff

Sterno

DAMN YOU

StrixVaria

@Sterno I think there's a mod for this.

Already.

Wipqozn

You can also create districts too, so you can have different policies, taxes, et cetera for different parts of your city @Sterno

Sterno

I want to be constrained. Open-ended sandboxes where all I do is plop buildings down and admire their beauty would be boring to me

Wipqozn

8:23 PM

Oh, and all the traffic is actually simulated. The people in the world have jobs, and things they do, aka go to the store. If they go to the store, they actually drive there. Traffic jams are caused by actual traffic.

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn Or walk, or take the bus, etc.

Wipqozn

Oh, and traffic will apply to public service stuff too

Sterno

Yeah, I saw that you can name every single person and building in the game

Wipqozn

Garbage trucks actually need to go pick up garbage and take it to a dump

firetrucks actually need to drive to a fire

and if someone dies they will need to be picked up by the morgue, or whatever

Okay, with the map picked, I'm closing out. Going to be eating soon. Wait until after.

And she's making my boss caramel corner since it was his birthday afew days ago, and all the devs love her caramel corn

Sterno

I hope those are two different food items, and not a "seafood chowder and ice cream" cake

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot The one she makes is basically a double decker ice cream sandwich cake, with a whole bunch of sauces and other things mixed in
