@Lazers2.0 Good, this was what I was going to ask about. What do we thing for the steam summer sale game tag?

monster-game?

(I'll make a meta if we have more than 1 suggestion)

Or really, I should ask, do we already have a tag for it?

user15026

6:26 PM

Looks like so far it is just getting steam

@Ktash steam-egg

Although I think steam is more than enough right now.

user15026

@Yuuki That's not actually going to help as a tag

It does have a semi-official name though, so it feels weird to just tag it with Steam. But it won't really be relevant after the 17th or whenever the sale ends either

I'll make a meta

user15026

I'd say treat it like any other game, tag with whatever they're calling it

user15026

pretty sure we made a tag for like the zerg google thing and that was like a one day thing.

user15026

6:30 PM

We do have a decent pile of questions about it now.

So we're getting questions now on the Steam Summer Sale incremental game. Right now questions are getting tagged with steam. Is that how we want to tag it? Or should we go with something else? Possible Options: steam - As it is now monster-summer-game - Title on main page for game monster-game...

I think my room mate is home now. Time to do this.

Wish my luck.

@Wipqozn kick in the door, fight the monster, get the loot.

user15026

@Wipqozn you can do it, you're a rockstar.

Also instead of "get out", I'm going to say "if you can't pay the rent by the 1st, get out".

and I'm going to phrase it in "this is the best thing for you"

since...well, it is

6:37 PM

@SepiaLazers Too slow

okay, let's do this

provided he's home

@Wipqozn Good luck

^

I was in the bathroom when I heard him come in, so it's possible he left before I got out

user15026

@Wipqozn What is he, a ninja?

6:38 PM

oh no there are his shoes, he's definitly home

Take his shoes so he can't run away

user15026

Steal the shoes so he can't escape!

@djsmiley2k Pedestal. And even passive/active items in the shop you haven't bought yet are pedestal items, some for the devil room.

@AshleyNunn highfive

user15026

@SaintWacko brain twin high five!

6:39 PM

You can totes escape without shoes

@AshleyNunn My bathroom is in my own room, so I might not heard the doort close

@Arperum was pretty sure i tried it in the shop once and it didn't work :/

@djsmiley2k Doesn't work on keys/bombs/hearts/ whatever, just the 15c items.

o_O

doors just opened before i killed all enemies...

ok i couldn't quite shoot them

it was half bugged but still..

@djsmiley2k I'm pretty sure that if you spend too long in a room without interacting with the enemies, the doors just open

6:43 PM

i was shooting them a bit but it was at weird angle

would of taken forever to kill em

stupid regenerating blobs

Or maybe it's just if you take too long

@murgatroid99 This.

Well that was easy, maybe.

user15026

@Wipqozn oh?

He agreed with me. He said he thinks he might be able to get next month paid, but that if he can't, he will go back with his mother. Of course, that could all change come the end of the month if he can't pay.

aka he might be all "noooo I can do it noo not leaving"

6:45 PM

@Wipqozn Consider buying a couple U-Haul boxes folded flat, to place by his door to 'help'.

but...well, not much else I can do right now, and if he can pay it then well that's better

user15026

@Wipqozn Yeah, it kinda sounds like he will agree with things as long as they delay the inevitable

@AshleyNunn yeah, that's my concern

I'll just need to wait and see

5pike

@Wipqozn Well, make preparations to evict him. For real

@5pike I can't

That's the problem

5pike

6:46 PM

Damn

Are you the lease holder?

I'm not legally able to evict him

@MadMAxJr It's on both our names

Technically, you could evict him from life, but it might not be entirely legal

Q: Will monsters spawned from statues drop biome key molds?

0

I've always wondered about this. Because I have been making a key mold/money farm in Terraria Mobile. Do they have to spawn naturally, or can they drop it even if they are hooked up to statues. Please tell me in the answer section below.

terraria-mobile

The way two name leases work in Nova Scotia is we're both considered 100% responsible for the rent. If he doesn't get it paid, and they evict us, the eviction applies to both of us. They wou ld also go after both of us for the money after the fact.

6:48 PM

Oh, you're way over there.

user15026

@Wipqozn That's a totally gross way of doing things :(

Works similar here. Didn't know if you were the holder and if they were an 'occupant' or not.

@AshleyNunn It is

what if it's a trinklet you've dropped?

So we'll see what happens

user15026

6:50 PM

@Wipqozn I will think good thoughts for you.

Roommate troubles are not fun. My current roommate and I sort of maintain a non-aggression pact and a little lock box that contains 2 months rent in the event of sudden mishap, emergency, or diplomatic hostilities.

That's a good idea

@SaintWacko No, that's a VERY good idea

user15026

@MadMAxJr That's rather smart

user15026

As much as living solo is expensive, I am kinda glad I do.

6:52 PM

We are good friends, but we've had nasty arguments in the past that have borderline made us reconsider this arrangement.

Whoever leaves, the reserve fund stays with whoever is keeping the apartment.

Unless we leave at end of lease, then we split the box.

There is a piece of paper in there that reads something along the lines of: Rule 1 - Try not to tick each other off. Rule 2 - Try to talk things out. Time-outs for angryness as needed. Rule 3 - Flip a damn coin.

There are informal sub-articles of the non-aggression pact. Pizzas brought into the home from that /really/ good place down the street become community items.

Disputes over claims of pizza territory/regional division (slices) are to be resolved via nerf guns at 20 paces.

@AshleyNunn thanks

Thou shalt buy a new gallon of milk if you finish off the gallon. Leaving a quarter inch at the bottom of the gallon and claiming it is not empty is not an exemption.

Okay, I'm going to my folks place for free food.

user15026

@MadMAxJr When I run out of bags of milk, I only have myself to blame.

Take it easy.

user15026

6:57 PM

@Wipqozn Enjoy :)

I envy you guys up there. Bags of milk are awesome.

Living alone is great until your car breaks down and you have nobody to fall back on.

Part of why my roomie and I agreed to live together. Bill reduction and support coverage that doesn't involve awkward calls to family for assistance.

user15026

@MadMAxJr I don't have a car to break :P

@AshleyNunn Not all of us can have jetboots, Ashley!

user15026

I'd live with someone if I had someone local who I was cool enough with to do so

Yeah!

7:01 PM

@MadMAxJr I forget about all you inferior beings ;)

My roomie is a little OCD on where things go in the kitchen. God help me if the K-Cup coffee machine is turned 45 degrees so I could refill the water bin and it gets left that way before I leave for work.

The efficiency of my current monster game is a little scary. It took 45 minutes to get to level 100

@Ktash My game is at level 313, as of 2 and a half hours

Either they nerfed it, or people got a little too good at it

My game seems to consistently have a lot of active users

How many? Mine seemed to be ~300 or so per lane

If the numbers are to be trusted

@twobugs that's total users, not active

7:26 PM

Ah, that explains it

and we have over 400 per lane

If you look at "team health", if the red bar on the left is very high, it seems to imply that a lot of people are idling

because if you idle, you don't manually respawn

MH4U is my first in the series and I'm still learning all the different skills. It took me a while to figure out that Sharpness on armor doesn't give sharpness +1. Handicraft does. So what is the earliest I can get sharpness +1? It doesn't matter if it's full set or mixed set.

which armour is best for simply surviving in xcom

The highest you can get.

The mech bodies, if you're playing the expansion.

@djsmiley2k Titan is the best all-around survival. Great health bonus, immunity to fire and poison, and fairly cheap.

Fire immunity is meh, but poison immunity can be very useful.

Also has strangulation immunity if you have the xpac, I think.

user15026

@SaintWacko If people paid me, I would totally be a live Descriptive Video service

9:17 PM

Ghost Armor, though expensive, has a smaller health bonus but also grants some Defense as well as the ability to cloak.

Along with improved movement speed.

But if you need someone to attract attention and tank an entire squad, Titan is probably your best choice, short of using a MEC.

@AshleyNunn You would probably make a decent Avina (Virtual Assistant, Mass Effect series)
