@Unionhawk Wrong reaction, UK would be happy with this.

@Chippies They've been doing this lately and I don't get it

Unionhawk

3:07 PM

@Yuuki UK should be just as outraged

two bugs

At least it's not as bad as the Wii's Xenoblade release where NA got it a full year later

Yuuki

You need to go for the appropriate US counterpart. Which is... redneck?

badp

@Yuuki with my ART

Chippies

@twobugs I have a friend in UK who keeps messaging me about all his amiibos and nintendo games he buys and I have noticed they release stuff earlier, but this is like, 4+ months difference...

@badp A KICK IN THE ARTS

3:07 PM

@Chippies Yeah, it's bizarre

Unionhawk

WHO DOES THAT ANYMORE

(Nintendo)

SHUT UP, REASONABLE @UNI

Yuuki

@Chippies I really want to pick up an Amiibo, but I'm not interested in any of the ones Best Buy or Gamestop have in stock.

two bugs

Hopefully this just raises awareness of how stupid and draconic some of these regional releases are.

Chippies

@Yuuki an amiibo? Like, any one or some specific one?

two bugs

@Yuuki Don't worry, you can surely find some of the out of stock ones for $30+ on Amazon!

Unionhawk

3:08 PM

I want a wooly world amiibo

Yuuki

@Chippies I don't really have a specific one in mind.

Unionhawk

I want one

fredley

@Unionhawk Something something something

Chippies

@Yuuki so what do you want it for? Unlocks in some games or..?

Yuuki

@Chippies Both for game unlocks and something to put with my Monster Hunter figures.

two bugs

3:10 PM

> I've had a similar problem for a time, but after closing and restarting (and waiting some minutes) she gets pregnant by her son.

Thanks, Fallout Shelter

Chippies

@Yuuki for unlocks you should do some research on which ones unlock what in which games. Certain amiibos would be better for certain games

Yuuki

@Chippies Yeah, I know. I'm leaning towards one of the Fire Emblem ones.

two bugs

@Yuuki The only issue with this is the Amiibo quality is decent but not great

Chippies

@Yuuki those are super rare, afaik

two bugs

I don't know what MH figures you have but I've seen some real nice quality ones

Yuuki

3:10 PM

@Chippies Which sucks.

Chippies

@twobugs eh, they're quite good for the price

Jason Berkan

I'm beginning to believe that Fallout Shelter was conceived just for the pregnancy puns alone.

two bugs

@Chippies I agree, but they don't match up to the $100 MH figures I've seen :P

Yuuki

@twobugs Here are some of my recent ones.

Chippies

@twobugs on the other hand, they're probably much better quality than the 15$ MH figures :P

Unionhawk

3:11 PM

@JasonBerkan I'm beginning to believe this was conceived as a pregnancy pun in and of itself

@Chippies Depends.

@Unionhawk :P

I KNEW IT

@Yuuki Those are pretty awesome

Yuuki

I like the quality on the CFBs I got more than some of the Amiibos and I got them for ~$10.

Unionhawk

Chippies

@Yuuki Needs banana for scale. Also, Idk if amiibos would fit in with those well, since they're more cartoony

Yuuki

@twobugs Capcom Figure Builder series is some serious good quality.

Jason Berkan

I just wish Fallout Shelter would be playable for more than 30 minutes on my phone.

Chippies

3:12 PM

although the fire emblem ones might

Private Pansy

The game has a nice concept, but the execution is somewhat lacking, and the difficulty curve is punishing

Yuuki

@Chippies And that's why I have a Felynx/Airou figure!

two bugs

@PrivatePansy Ah, that's too bad

Yuuki

@PrivatePansy ?

two bugs

We might get a FE amiibo reprint or at least some new ones when we get the new FE game

@Yuuki Ironclad Tactics

Jason Berkan

3:13 PM

@PrivatePansy That seems to be a Zachtronics calling card.

(The difficulty curve.)

Yuuki

@twobugs Might get some Amiibo cards instead though.

I need to find the date of the next con, I might see some Amiibos pop up there.

Private Pansy

@JasonBerkan Yeah, but in this case there's also a pretty heavy element of randomness to it, so the difficulty feels unfair rather than merely challenging

Yuuki

There was a gold Mario Amiibo for about $30 last time.

two bugs

@Yuuki I've seen that go for up to $70 because it was a Walmart exclusive

Yuuki

I didn't know gold Mario was a thing so I thought it was a fake and skipped it.

Ragrets everywhere.

two bugs

3:15 PM

There's a silver Mario as well

Yuuki

Alternately, I could get a FE Amiibo card and put together my own Amiibo.

two bugs

Don't feel too bad. I forgot to preorder a Shulk amiibo so I ended up paying $50

Yuuki

@twobugs I was interested in the Shulk one until I found out it was a Gamestop exclusive and realized that there was probably very little crossover unlock potential.

Private Pansy

@Yuuki Ironclad Tactics from Zachtronics (best known for SpaceChem). This was how I described the game

Yuuki

FE on the other hand has a lot of unlocks.

Private Pansy

3:16 PM

23 mins ago, by Private Pansy

@twobugs It plays like a turn-based PvZ, except you draw your units from a deck. Each turn you get a fixed number of action points, which you spend to drop units onto a grid, and they march towards the enemy like PvZ

Yuuki

@PrivatePansy That does sound interesting.

two bugs

@Yuuki It works in Xenoblade 3D and Smash Bros, as well as any game with generic amiibo support

SaintWacko

@Yuuki Hm, yeah

two bugs

The Xenoblade unlock is kinda meh

Once per day you get 3 tokens which you can use to either raffle for a model or song (1 token) or buy a random new one (3 tokes)

Yuuki

@twobugs FE, on the other hand, is pretty crazy. Super Smash, CODENAME: STEAM, upcoming FE game, and I think there's more.

two bugs

3:18 PM

You can get tokens through play coins as well

And streetpass

@Yuuki That's pretty cool. Was STEAM any good?

Yuuki

@twobugs Apparently it was rather meh.

Not bad, but not great.

two bugs

That's what I heard so I skipped it

Yuuki

I played the demo and wasn't all that interested.

Private Pansy

There's a bit more to it. The story is set in a Steampunk civil war era alternative universe, and you use both infantry (which are squishy but cheap) and ironclads, which can have a variety of armaments attached to them

user15026

Same here.

Yuuki

3:19 PM

If I want that gameplay (CODENAME: STEAM), I'll just pick up Valkyria Chronicles again.

Private Pansy

So there's quite a bit of strategic depth to it. The problem is that since this is a card game, there's a bit of randomness to it, and the difficulty is quite punishing, since you're fighting against AIs with better decks than you

Yuuki

@PrivatePansy Yeah, I have the worst luck.

Chippies

we have way too many amiibos

but I know people who have more, so...

Private Pansy

Also, there's complaints that the game is too short, but the situation is better since there's two more campaigns now that were released as free DLCs

two bugs

@Chippies My friend has all of them.

He is... insane.

Yuuki

3:21 PM

@Chippies Where da Shulk?

Chippies

@twobugs I have a friend who has almost all of them

@Yuuki don't have, wasn't he an exclusive or something?

Yuuki

Also, you need to make that Smash trophy table if you get more.

@Chippies Gamestop, IIRC.

@Chippies I have one of those.

Chippies

in the tiny town here in Newfoundland, we only have walmart and EB Games

@Chippies Gamestop exclusive, low production run. You know, just like Xenoblade!

StrixVaria

I ordered my Amiibo from the internet.

user15026

I dont understand the draw of amiibo

StrixVaria

I don't go to physical stores anymore.

two bugs

@AshleyNunn I get them for games/characters I really like, but otherwise I don't care that much. They're a neat bonus (except for cases where they gate actual content...)

Chippies

@AshleyNunn they're nice looking figurines for a low price, compared to other figurines

Yuuki

3:23 PM

@AshleyNunn It's a collectible, which already draws one crowd, and gives unlockable bonuses, which draws another.

StrixVaria

Probably because when I go to physical stores I wind up buying a PS4 before I think it through (although so far the PS4 has really impressed me).

two bugs

People were saying that they gate nontrivial stuff behind amiibos in Splatoon, which is real unfortunate

Yuuki

@twobugs I thought it was just weapon reskins and some single-player levels?

Chippies

@StrixVaria other than amazon/ebay, I don't even know where to order them online that delivers here without having to pay huge shipping costs

Private Pansy

@twobugs I think it's some additional challenge levels, except I've also heard some reviews mention that they were pretty rubbish as far as 'challenges' go

Rapitor

3:24 PM

@twobugs it is trivial

StrixVaria

@Chippies Is there something wrong with amazon/ebay?

I buy all the things on Amazon.

Chippies

@StrixVaria you're buying from resellers, not nintendo - much higher price

two bugs

@StrixVaria For Amiibos at least, you're buying from scalpers

Interesting about Splatoon, I'm much less interested in the Amiibo now

Chippies

for anything else - amazon and ebay is great, but not for amiibos

Unionhawk

Amiibo retail is 12.99 and the only reason I know that is there's a donation sound for it

Yuuki

3:25 PM

@twobugs I want to pick up Splatoon, but that involves me getting a new gamepad as well.

Chippies

@Unionhawk it's 15$ in Canada, but that's still cheaper than US if we use currency conversion

StrixVaria

@twobugs Huh? I bought mine from Amazon directly.

Yuuki

And I don't want to put down that kind of money just yet with some of these games on the horizon.

StrixVaria

I've only bought 2 things from ebay ever.

two bugs

@StrixVaria Well, I should clarify for some amiibos. I had to pay $50 for my Shulk amiibo

StrixVaria

3:26 PM

The 2nd one I either got the best deal ever or a fake, but it looks good enough so even if it's fake I got my money's worth.

@twobugs wat

Private Pansy

@StrixVaria Same, and one never showed up

user15026

@Chippies Makes sense, I just keep thinking of them only as a video game thing which makes them less appealing to me

Private Pansy

The refund was pretty prompt once it was raised to a level where an actual human was involved

two bugs

@StrixVaria Low production run, Gamestop exclusive. People preordered and then scalped them for profit.

Yuuki

@StrixVaria Copies of Xenoblade for the Wii ran for $200. Same causes: Gamestop exclusive and low production.

Chippies

3:27 PM

@AshleyNunn we stopped thinking about them as a video game thing, because after buying a couple, they stop being useful for video games

you only need a couple at most to get the most out of video games

Q: CSGO CEVO anti-cheat quality

Due to ESEA being under dubious leadership and genereally not trustworthy I'm migrating to CEVO. The question now is how good is CEVO anti-cheat? This hack site (may they burn in hell) claims to break: Valve Anti Cheat 3 (VAC3) E-Sports League Wire (ESL Wire) Source Mode Anti Cheat (SMAC) AZURE...

counter-strike-go cheats

Private Pansy

@AshleyNunn Good quality figurines are surprisingly expensive and surprisingly hard to come by

Chippies

I don't really care about them to be honest, but wife is a nintendo fan and loves them

user15026

@PrivatePansy Makes sense, I am just not really a figurine person

Yuuki

@Lazers2.0 I'm not sure if this is asking about a cheat engine or asking about an anti-cheat engine.

StrixVaria

3:28 PM

@AshleyNunn I got exactly 1 Amiibo to see how it interacted with Smash 4 because the promise of an AI that learns was really interesting.

Yuuki

Because question text says latter but implies former.

two bugs

@StrixVaria I was kind of disappointed with that. My experience was at level 1 it's so weak and at level 50 it's an input reading monster

Chippies

@Yuuki He's asking about how good is the anti-cheat engine, and provides an example of a site that claims they break certain cheat engines

StrixVaria

@twobugs I thought it was pretty neat. The main thing is I just wish the Amiibo didn't actually hit harder.

Private Pansy

I honestly don't think its the manufacturing that's expensive, but the licensing

Rapitor

3:29 PM

@StrixVaria that's the only reason I even considered amiibos. If they come out with more games with that kind of stuff I'd be onboard to get more

StrixVaria

It got to the point where I could only beat it by cheesing it, though.

Chippies

@twobugs the best thing is to put amiibos against each other

Yuuki

@Chippies Are anti-cheat engines considered breaking ToS?

two bugs

@Chippies Yeah, that was fun

Yuuki

Do we care about breaking ToS?

I can't recall.

Private Pansy

3:30 PM

@Yuuki I think we do

Chippies

@Yuuki I'm pretty sure it's the anti-cheat engines that are implemented in the game

Rapitor

@Chippies depends. When i put my amiibo against my friends he got really stupid and i basically had to retrain him.

Unionhawk

It's complicated

Private Pansy

And if a game has an anti-cheat engine, then it's almost certain breaking them would violate the game's ToS

Otherwise there wouldn't be any point to having the engine

Powerlord

VAC is the only one built into CS:GO

Yuuki

3:31 PM

@PrivatePansy Well, I was more asking about switching anti-cheat engines as this guy seems to be trying to do.

Powerlord

Incidentally... CEVO, ESL, and ESEA are all gaming leagues, so in a way, this is also a recommendation question.

Chippies

@Rapitor by putting your godly amiibo against a weak amiibo, yours will slack back and adjust the skill level to the weak amiibo

Private Pansy

Ah, that question specifically

Jason Berkan

Ironclad Tactics is on a slight sale on GoG - if our conversation has interested anyone.

Private Pansy

No idea. Think it would be within our purview

user15026

3:32 PM

@Powerlord That's how I read it.

Chippies

I don't think we can answer the question, because he's really asking if this certain anti-cheat engine is cheat-proof

and how is someone supposed to answer that?

Rapitor

they were both 50 and trained. just the way I trained my DK (slow, powerful, shielding). did not compute when dealing with a fast weak dodgy luigi. So when DK started doing that too... he was basically harmless

two bugs

@Chippies That's my take on it

Unionhawk

"No nothing is truly cheatproof"

Powerlord

@Chippies Well, isn't it obvious? With bacon!

Rapitor

3:33 PM

the Luigi also went dumb

Chippies

@Rapitor it takes a couple of fights to adjust to an opponent, unfortunately, amiibo can only learn certain amount of strategies, so you can't teach him to be fast and dodgy against certain opponents and slow, powerful and shielding against others

@Ktash So Episode II runs the longest before the credits roll.

How did they manage to have so much time to work with and yet still be so shitty?

As much I hate the rest of Episode I, the new lightsaber battle choreography gives me a rosy-red tint on that movie.

And Episode III was marginally okay simply because muting it makes it actually somewhat compelling.

Episode II was just garbage.

Jason Berkan

Episode II was so bad I have not watched Episode III.

two bugs

I think Lucas just had way too much creative control. Nobody could say "Hey, George, this is a good idea but it needs some work."

I gave up on Lucas at that point.

Yuuki

@twobugs Pretty much.

fredley

nomachetejuggling.com/2011/11/11/…

two bugs

@JasonBerkan Well, that and he had lots of other people working on scripts and rewriting them. IIRC Empire, which seems to be the favorite, was vastly different from his original concept

Yuuki

Lucas is the lynchpin of suck when it came to the prequel trilogy. Everyone rags on Jake Lloyd and Hayden Christensen, but I don't think any of it was their fault at all.

two bugs

I think they had really tough situations where they were sometimes just thrown into a room with a green screen and told to just imagine everything else

Yuuki

4:18 PM

Christensen's acting was great in Shattered Glass, so I blame his wooden acting on the script and directorial instruction.

And Jake Lloyd was a kid.

two bugs

@Yuuki Yeah, that too

StrixVaria

> Luckily, George Lucas has done everyone a favor by making the content of Episode I completely irrelevant to the rest of the series.

Yuuki

@twobugs It's pretty obvious if you mute the sound for Episode III and Christensen's demeanor is very good and does a great job of depicting Anakin's mood and intentions with no context from the dialogue.

fredley

@StrixVaria Yup

Yuuki

Especially with the confrontation on Mustafar at the end. Horrible lines, but surprisingly good non-verbal acting.

> The Kamino sequence is a little confusing. Since the cloners seem to have been "expecting" Kenobi, it leads the viewer to wonder if Episode I showed him creating the clone army or something. Hilariously, Episode I doesn't actually explain anything or make this scene less misleading, but the fact that the viewer knows a movie got skipped amplifies the confusion.

@GnomeSlice I really like my PS4 so far.

GnomeSlice

Me too

two bugs

@StrixVaria Me too. I like all my consoles :)

Jason Berkan

Meh. 1080p at 30fps only allows for 62 pixels at 1 million fps.

Can't wait for Rocket League

I bet it even has a batman skin

My favorite is probably the Wii U (I am an undying Wii U fanboy) but I've definitely gotten my moneys worth from each of them

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice I wouldn't say I can't wait for it, but it looks neat.

Any idea how much it'll be?

Q: How many upgraded weapons can you have?

In Fire Emblem Awakening you can upgrade weapons. How many of them you can have in your savegame?

fire-emblem-awakening

Unionhawk

I don't even have a Wii U yet, and I think I'll hold out until the end of the summer

I don't know

I do want one for being better at Mario kart than house visitors

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria no idea

Unionhawk

And by that I mean "get passable at 200cc so house visitors die and I at least finish"

GnomeSlice

I'd guess maybe $20

StrixVaria

@Unionhawk I really need to check out 200cc.

Yuuki

@Unionhawk How to succeed at 200cc: wait for everyone to die first.

In other words, "aim like a drunkard, jump like an idiot".

GnomeSlice

I'm always naturally better at Mario kart then people, but then once we play for a few weeks they get better and I don't so then I'm the worst

StrixVaria

I really can't see it being as bad as @Unionhawk is suggesting.

You actually do quite well in Mario Kart multiplayer if you just focus on staying on the track.

GnomeSlice

Same with literally every multiplayer game ever

Jason Berkan

Not first place, but well above last.

I tried 200cc at my parents and I was terrible at it but I am terrible at MarioKart in general

two bugs

@GnomeSlice That's kind of my problem. I'm good enough at most games to be better than your average chump but not good enough to beat someone who is actually skilled

Unionhawk

It's to the point that braking is actually a thing.

two bugs

4:54 PM

And since I'm good enough I never really learned how to practice

Unionhawk

I love it when IE randomly turns on overtype mode

GnomeSlice

Story of my life @twobugs

I have the same problem with actual work too

@Unionhawk ctrl + shift?

Back to work I go

Yuuki

@twobugs I'm starting to pick up how to practice with some MOBA games, but practicing those games takes all the fun out of actually gaming.
