I always go Thin Mints and I think they had that listed as going with porter, which is convenient because that's what Identity Crisis is (a hoppy porter or black IPA, we're not sure)

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I wish. The Girl Guide cookies we have here are vastly inferior. At least, I think so. I haven't actually had girl scout cookies yet (although @WorldEngineer is going to ship me some) but girl guide ones are just like knockoff oreos

user15026

@Unionhawk so you are already a pro at cookies and alcohol pairing.

Unionhawk

I mean chocolate plus dark beer is clearly already a given

That's literally a thing that exists

two bugs

Girl Scout cookies are dangerous

I bought 5 boxes and was through them in like a week

Unionhawk

YUP

But it's still a solid $20 investment those 5 boxes

Actually, not, because GSA isn't a well-organized organization

two bugs

12:06 AM

It's better than Boy Scouts

As Boy Scouts we just sold magazine subscriptions

And nobody wanted those

Unionhawk

No, they're better at fundraising

At doing things though

two bugs

Boy Scouts was also really anti-gay for a while

Dunno if that has changed

Unionhawk

It has

Youth members are allowed as of like 2013, and I think maybe adults too

Not certain

It's a process

And you can thank the LDS church for it being a process

and also the baptists

But mostly the LDS because that's literally their youth program and all youth males have to participate in scouts

Which creates fun times with kids who don't give a shit

two bugs

The boxcar racing was fun

Only part I miss

Man, Hero mode is not going to be fun in Twilight Princess HD. I'm pretty sure (not 100%, part of why I asked my question) that they upped enemy damage

Yuuki

bows in temporary worship of @Wipqozn

12:10 AM

Certain things can definitely 1shot you for a while

Getting more bottles early on doesn't really help that

Unionhawk

@twobugs iirc hero mode means double damage taken and no recovery hearts in all games

Wipqozn

@Yuuki EEEEEEEEEXXXXCEELLLENT

Fluttershy

@Unionhawk Yep!

Yuuki

Was away from my computer all day, so I didn't see it until now.

Unionhawk

Which is fine in Skyward Sword because there are chairs and stuff

Wipqozn

12:11 AM

@Yuuki I figured.

Yuuki

I've heard it's really good, so I might just donate money to the dev anyways.

Wipqozn

That "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES" thing was in reference to the wasp incident, when we were playing monster hunter

user15026

Just bought Stardew Valley :D

Wipqozn

@Yuuki That's part of the reason I gifted it. I've been wanting to gift it to someone to give the dev more money. He deserves it.

@AshleyNunn Awesome possum

cc @Sterno Look at all of us who own stardew valley nmowe

Yuuki

So tempted to do what someone suggesting early and make "Animal Farm" and have my favorite thing be "COMMUNISM".

ardaozkal

12:13 AM

Got steam running!

Wipqozn

I'm not even sure if the favourite thing everr comes up

Fluttershy

@Yuuki y u do dis

Yuuki

@Fluttershy Look at what I'm playing right now (I assume I have you on my friends list).

Fluttershy

@Yuuki Oh, did he buy it for you?

Yuuki

@Fluttershy Yeah.

Fluttershy

12:15 AM

@Yuuki Aw, well that was sweet of him! I bought it for @FAE last night.

I was gonna buy one for me, too, but I opted for The Culling instead.

Wipqozn

I'm such a scamp.

The dev really does deserve the extra cash

He's already released five patches

patches which include gameplay additions/changes, not just bug fixes

Yuuki

I think I'm going to go with... Moga Farm.

ardaozkal

My fav theme works with linux too!

Wipqozn

@Yuuki Nice

Yuuki

Apparently, you don't want to clear out the entire farm (even if that takes days) I heard?

Like, leave a corner or so wild?

Wipqozn

12:23 AM

@Yuuki I think rocks trees adn what not will multiply if there's other ones nearby

To be honest there's more productive ways to spend your time than clearing your entire field.

two bugs

@Unionhawk I thought it was 4x damage taken?

Unionhawk

Is it 4?

It might be 4

two bugs

At least that's what I think it says in WWHD and and TWHD

Unionhawk

Oh

Well

two bugs

And the twilight flat head dudes hit you for 1 heart on normal mode

Unionhawk

12:26 AM

Oh fuck

two bugs

Meaning 4 hearts on Hero!

I'm pretty sure they did less damage in the original twilight princess, but I don't honestly remember

Part of the reason I asked my question

Fluttershy

> In Hero Mode, no recovery hearts drop anywhere, and all damage taken by Link is doubled.

Unionhawk

I dunno, no wiki has damage numbers apparently

hold on

Ugh that idiot kid who did a video camera LP of TP didn't get hit

ardaozkal

Man, I love ninite.

Unionhawk

Well I give up then

A: Minecraft LAN isn't working from one computer

Same problem here. Two Mac's playing great on 1.8 but now on 1.9 it is nothing but problems, got direct to connect a few time but doesn't always work. Done all steps above plus some. On 1.8 I was able to play with my firewalls up, but they are now down and still no luck. Kinda of new so any help ...

Unionhawk

because we're not gods

have patience my child

MBraedley

Because it looks like it entered the review queue maybe 15 minutes ago.

Unionhawk

mhmm

Yes, first review 13 minutes ago "recommend deletion", no other reviews

CoolestVeto

@Unionhawk /me omms...

...So that's why Zoe Barns (Kate Mara) isn't in season three of House of Cards...

CoolestVeto

12:40 AM

D: Wait, she isn't?

MBraedley

I won't say when or how, all I knew going into this episode was that she had credits for the first two seasons, but not the third.

RedRiderX

@MBraedley Yep there is definitely a reason and that is it.

MBraedley

@RedRiderX I should have seen it coming

RedRiderX

I want to say a thing but I won't

MBraedley

Oh, his speech to the camera at the end of that episode is pure awesome

and the pan down to his cuff links

Wipqozn

12:51 AM

I should probbaly watch house of cards at some point

All you young whippersnappers seem to be really into it

two bugs

Haha, that reminds me. People were mad that you could move while aiming in WWHD because "It means Zelda is going to become an FPS"

MBraedley

Only on Netflix, at least for the time being

two bugs

Apparently Nintendo listened because you can't move while aiming in TPHD

"Progress"!

Q: In Talos, how do I place the sigils to unlock the 1st gate?

I've watched walkthroughs and still don't get it. Okay, in Talos, playing on a PC (Win10), at the first gate, I have the three green sigils needed (2 L-shaped and one step-shaped). The solution is easy: you put the step in the middle of the checkerboard and the L's on either side. However, I have...

@MBraedley Luckily I own Netflix.

MBraedley

@Wipqozn Agreed

Unionhawk

@MBraedley likely 5ever

MBraedley

@Unionhawk Emphasis on the "only". There was talk that they would syndicate it.

Unionhawk

Oh

I was under the assumption Netflix had a vested interest in keeping it exclusive

5ever

MBraedley

@Unionhawk For the time being. If they can sell syndication rights to, say, HBO, that would be a bit of a coup.

Wipqozn

Yeah, it would depend on who they sell it to and when

12:59 AM

"You're not good enough friends with Haley to enter her bedroom." I like this game already.

Wipqozn

IF they didn't sell it until the series was over then it wouldn't really hurt them

Unionhawk

@MBraedley Dude, and I have HBO GO now, FOR FREE* (*for tuition and room and board)

FREEEEEEEEEE

ALSO

MBraedley

@Unionhawk Tuition and a dorm room is significantly more than free

I don't have to pay for it in addition to paying for school

@Unionhawk I don't get it. I'm also not a Stardew Valley or Undertale person.

Okay time to go read for the rest of the night. WEll, until bed.

MBraedley

@Wipqozn Are you reading Three Body Problem?

Wipqozn

@MBraedley The dog is from Undertale, and someone made a mod so that the dog sprite is replaced with the Undertale dog sprite. The dog represents the creator of Undertale.

CoolestVeto

Are server specific questions on-topic?

Wipqozn

@MBraedley No, Tawny Man Trilogy

MBraedley

(As in, you should be reading Three Body Problem)

@CoolestVeto It depends

Wipqozn

@CoolestVeto Hard to say without knowing the question.

MBraedley

@AshleyNunn I'm not saying it's great, but it is interesting.

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn I think it's technically SGA funded which indirectly comes out of tuition eventually after the money is laundered to SGA

The University is just a multimillion dollar corporation it's fine

MBraedley

Mind you, it feels like I have far too much information at this point in the book.

I like that I've now also been getting full system freezes from Chrome on Windows too, not just Linux

@CoolestVeto I don't think this is necessarily too specific, but I don't know much about the plugins and whatnot in question

Also @Unionhawk and @Fluttershy are right, at least for TPHD. It's double damage for Hero mode (still, that's nasty)

@twobugs it's fucking hero mode

Have you seen any parts of the WWHD 3 heart hero mode?

That is nasty

But... it's a double weapon XP weekend in Blops 3...

StrixVaria

@twobugs I've tried to watch like 4 different streamers play that and all of them were just lolling about in menus or doing some mundane thing like putting hay out for some animal to eat. Is that literally the whole game?

I don't think so. It sounds like an actual Harvest Moon successor
