@RedRiderX Holy crap
That's a lot
@SaintWacko ikr
Hype train derailed.
That's more then I spent on my pc
I feel like in 2 years I'll buy a new pc bundled with a headset
If you like Kingdom Hearts, you owe it to yourself to try the mobile game.
It's cutesy and seems pretty decent.
@RedRiderX Same here. Almost twice as much
user15026
@RedRiderX Holy cow that is a LOT of money
Also, I really want to play the KSP pre-release, but I don't want to give up my DRM-free KSP :(

Q: Metal Gear Solid Story

Metal Gear Solid FanI just have one question, I've played Metal Gear Solid 3, that's the only MSG game I've played to completion (and it was awesome) but I have a question about the story in Metal Gear Solid 4. It's obvious that the "Snake" character in MSG4 is not the same Snake character in MSG3 that turned into...

Alright, I switched
Apparently I can still run it without steam
Plus, if I run it through Steam, it'll track how much time I spend in it, which I've always wondered
@RedRiderX Did you mean... HoloLens?
@ardaozkal Yeah, that's what I'm waiting for
DKs are shipping.
@ardaozkal I'll but a hololens bundled with a phone in 10 years.
14:28
Well, actually does Hololens do VR?
Or is it just AR?
The current hololens is halfbaked
@SaintWacko both
I say just, but AR is actually harder to do
@SaintWacko check out Destination Mars.
Needed way more time in the oven but Microsoft needed their R&D to bring out something that sounded like a Rift.
14:29
@RedRiderX You are wrong. HoloLens has been in development for years.
@RedRiderX Oh, the hololens is way more advanced than a Rift
@SaintWacko The promise is much greater
(AFAIK, AFAIH)
@ardaozkal I think he's saying they rushed the release to compete
But the limitations of the current implementation is disappointing.
14:30
Not that they only started it after Rift
@ardaozkal This doesn't make what I said untrue
VR was years in development in the 90s
Still half-baked
@RedRiderX Yeah, it definitely needs work, but the tech is great
^so was hololens
HoloLens works better than Rift on head detection.
@SaintWacko It's definitely a neat idea.
It has its computer inside.
14:31
Most AR implementations have the problem that you can only overlay things onto the environment
Not actually replace things
But it's always one of those chicken and egg things.
Hololens seems to actually replace things in your vision
@SaintWacko again, destination mars.
You need both the tech and the usage to really get it to take off.
VR is like 3D, it's always "just a few years off"
@ardaozkal The last hololens demo I saw had the limitation of a small subset of your FOV being overlain with the AR action
Is that still the case?
(I really haven't kept up with it)
This shows otherwise.
The E3 demo did as well
Then the truth came out
That the third person camera is not what the first person view was
14:34
IDK, they let people test the "Destination Mars" thing on Build 2016.
If it was a lie, internet and mainly media would be aware of it.
user15026
Possibly?
This is what I'm talking about
It's a smaller box out of your full FOV
The AR stuff does have more promise, but the current ($3000!) implementation is extremely limited.
That's why I said I'll be buying it in 10 years
Please (Please!) make a VR game with HoloLens SDK. I'll probably be able to test one in about 53-54 days, and might be able to test your game and tell how it works.
I really question if it will be ready for the end consumer even then
This is something that has always been "oh, we're on the verge of the breakthrough that will make it viable!"
user15026
Yeah, we are definitely not in the "VR for all" stage, even a little.
user15026
14:43
Like yeah, we are getting some consumer devices, but they're prohibitively expensive.
We've definitely made significant progress, but getting to VR as a truly viable thing is going to take longer than a lot of people are hoping
user15026
@twobugs We're definitely not as close to it being viable as most articles hyping the stuff would let you think. The cost alone is a gigantic barrier to entry.
@AshleyNunn well tbh, Google Cardboard is trying "VR for all" and I think that it might reach more customers than others.
Yeah, I'm not spending several thousand dollars on something with very poor support which looks horribly unwieldy
user15026
@ardaozkal I don't think Cardboard is really in the same realm? Like it's neat, but it's not really comparable from my understanding
user15026
14:46
Dear random word generator, if I ask for two words and you give me "pocket watch" and "cardboard" thats....three words.
It is nor comparable yet, but with phones' screens and gyros improving, it'll be comparable.
user15026
@ardaozkal I'm not even remotely convinced that will happen within the next forever.
Isn't cardboard just a holder for your phone or something? So you can use a phone as a mockup VR headset?
user15026
Considering the amount of tech and stuff the VR is requiring, gonna be a long time before something I do with my phone is going to be the same
user15026
@twobugs It's cardboard and some lenses
14:47
Ah
user15026
But it relies on your phone for everything that isn't that
user15026
And I hardly think anything that they will put in a phone anytime soon can really be compared with the piles of tech in the current consumer VR options (such as they are)
user15026
because otherwise it'd not cost $1200 or whatever
user15026
"cough medicine" is ALSO two words, you stupid word generator. (it keeps giving me two word phrases as word 1 and then another word as word 2)
Found a relatively mint 4-disc set of Final Fantasy VIII for the original PlayStation.
14:51
I'm curious to see how they'd address some of the fundamental problems with VR, like it causing motion sickness and/or being super disorienting
user15026
@Yuuki Very nice!
I think that this is the best thing about hololens:
Wonder how much it'll sell for online.

Q: minecraft mods for Xbox 360

Niki RabbitI was just wondering how I would get the skin packs and different mods for Xbox 360.

Dear weather: It's April. Please stop with the blizzards.
It's sad that I basically have buyer's remorse for The Division solely because the community makes the game really frustrating
Game is very fun, but matchmade content with any semblance of difficulty is a nightmare
14:56
@ardaozkal I'd take that with a grain of salt - You can wear the 'real3D' 3d movie glasses on top of your glasses, but it's uncomfortable as fuck.
user15026
@TrentHawkins Also, it doesn't always work right, depending on what your glasses are doing
@TrentHawkins well, I'll probably be able to test hololens in a month and a half, I'll report back.
user15026
@ardaozkal Which is great, but your eyes are not my eyes - it might work for you, but not for someone with different eye-stuff.
@twobugs everything is so bullet spongy
user15026
Like I know people with glasses who are like "3D movies are GREAT" and I am just like "nope I am so freaking nauseated right now"
15:00
@AshleyNunn if it works for me it probably works for most people. My glasses are crazy. 7.5 Myopia on both eyes.
also some astigmat
@badp I mean, stuff does take many bullets to kill but if you have a party using their abilities and focusing their fire it's actually a very quick and fun game
user15026
@ardaozkal I'd not bet on it to be honest.
user15026
Eyes are tricky things.
user15026
I mean if it does, great
user15026
but I don't see it being as easy as all that.
15:01
@twobugs the one time I saw you doing coop you guys were getting downed CONSTANTLY and spent almost all of your time reviving each other
user15026
(I say that as someone with worse eyes than you.)
wait no you'd just revive automatically by crawling next to someone right?
@badp Yeah, it's a game where you're supposed to stay in cover and a lot of people don't get that
Because of the aforementioned sponginess having even one or two players down can make stuff take way longer
@badp Next to one of the healing boxes, but I like those a lot for many reasons
@twobugs clearly the game needs non-doom-2016 rocket launchers
Basically I think it's really fun and cool when you have a full team using their abilities and coordinating fire because you actually cut through enemies like ribbons and it's super fun
user15026
15:04
@twobugs We are supposed to get a little snow tomorrow but next week it is supposed to turn into rain and get warmer so I am hoping that means we are done with this winter crap for real
I just had like near blizzard conditions for about... 10ish minutes but it cleared up thankfully
speaking of
user15026
Here it just looks deceptively nice - snow is melting, sun is shining
user15026
But it's actually COLD AS HECK if you actually go out
We're only slightly below freezing here :P
15:05
Huh, it's snowing here
you know that Amsterdam is not reknown for being heaven for the meteoropathic
I mean
Also I really like the surface mouse. Flattening it to turn it off and snapping it back to turn it on is very satisfying
we're on the northern sea, but we're still on the sea, so we got basically no snow
user15026
@twobugs -4, feels like -11C here
Wish it had back/forward buttons, but alas
user15026
15:06
Too cold for happy me
user15026
@twobugs That does sound satisfying.
but typically the weather changes quickly and days of clear skies per year are usually in the single-digits
-2, feels like -7 (Celsius for you BARBARIANS)
user15026
I LIKE MY BARBARIAN TEMPERATURES
user15026
THEY MAKE SENSE TO ME
15:07
I like these barbarian temps better
user15026
Yes, those are much better.
Farenheit is just easier for me to parse for my humanfeel (TM) temperature
Celsius is way better
But if I wanted to go full hipster I would use kelvin all the time
so as a result we've started getting targeted billboards around our offices for developer positions in spain
literally "write code in spain"
user15026
@badp Not a bad selling point, I guess :P
quoting the weather prominently
user15026
15:09
So basically, "Come to spain, write code where the weather sucks less"?
the company who bought those ads didn't even put their name on the billboards
@AshleyNunn yes
I want to go to Spain :(
I guess Spain is fine to visit
@badp You can probably just take a train there, right?
I don't know if I would want to live there
15:10
Places I can take a train: Detroit and uh Chicago I guess (Chicago would take the better part of a day)
@twobugs It's far enough to be impractical
I can take a train to Munich from here, maybe, if I really wanted
user15026
@twobugs I want to travel all sorts of places. I have the money to, I just lack the time. (And with an LDR, most of the time I have to travel means I want to go to see him, which is great and all but at the same time, I wanna see the world)
it'd take like 16 hours
You find some interesting things in abandoned storage units.
user15026
@twobugs I can take one to Toronto, but the bus is cheaper. Montreal is also doable by train but it takes like 6 hours or something
15:11
Chicago is at the sweet spot of it would take about 6ish hours to drive, 7-8 hours on a train (given the loading/unloading), or about 4-5 hours to fly (this would cost 4x as much)
Damn lake Michigan making things more annoying
Like a gym bag emblazoned with "MOS ESPA PODRACING".
@Yuuki I thought Pharis' bow came from new londo ruins?
Also, couldn't you just kill her before joining
@AshleyNunn Aw, that's too bad. Bus is a good idea though, I usually forget about that
yeah no thanks
Yuck, that's a long train ride
At least you guys have nicer trains. We just have this aging train infrastructure. I wish we could get some real development there but something something communism
And we're back to blizzard conditions! \o/
15:14
@GnomeSlice But then you'd get attacked by Forest Defenders while you're in the area.
user15026
@twobugs The train to TO is also just like a commuter thing so it only goes a couple times in the morning and a couple in the evening
@twobugs That's several long train rides.
well I guess Amsterdam-Paris is doable
@AshleyNunn Have gone from 30-32º to 7º. Boiler had also broken down, so entire home was at that temperature.
@GnomeSlice You free for a few minutes?
user15026
@fredley That's highly unpleasant.
15:15
what's with that º monstrosity? It's 7°, not 7º. @fredley pls.
@AshleyNunn It was the least unpleasant thing about the journey actually
l2°
user15026
@fredley My body just doesn't handle rapid changes well like that. Although you saying that makes me wonder just what else you encountered....
Firstly: Flight delayed. Secondly: had to change terminals at Dubai, which involves a tiny minibus that runs once every half an hour. It then takes about 30 minutes to drive to all these random places, and there is no signage or indication which set of doors you should get out at. Then had to get a big lift down, then a shuttle, then a big lift up. Only just made it to our gate in a 2-hour transfer window. Thirdly: our checked-in luggage didn't make it.
Fourthly, the lift in gatwick broke down with us in it.
user15026
O.o
user15026
15:18
That's....a lot of unpleasantness
Huh, you'd think one of the richest cities in the world would have a better airport
@fredley. @fredley, pls. pls, @fredley.
@badp I was channelling the transport luck of @badp.
@twobugs I think the airport is more optimized for keeping you in
15:20
@badp Good point. I hadn't considered that use case
Can anyone tell me if it's smooth?
to be honest I've never been stuck in an airport
@twobugs ikr. The terminals themselves are opulent to the extreme, but getting from one to another is honestly the worst I've ever experienced. Literally Kathmandu airport, which has monkeys in it, is better in this regard.
@Fluttershy Looks good so far
Also the two main terminals at Dubai are the same, as in the buildings are a carbon copy. You arrive at the right one thinking it's the one you just left because it's literally identical, right down to the fountains.
Protip: avoid Dubai
15:21
Haha you didn't mute pings
@badp will be very upset
@twobugs I don't know how! D:
The little sound thing next to "all rooms"
@fredley D:
user15026
@Fluttershy Aww, I'm at work :(
user15026
15:22
@fredley Monkeys on purpose, or do they just like....wander in?
This game seems really cool though
@fredley my parents spent a couple day there for an extended transfer, there was some sort of flight discount
Oh. There we go.
@Fluttershy I was hyped for One Finger Death Punch
The gun aesthetic is great
15:23
the only real problem is it happened to be Ramadan
I don't know how to feel now that I see Gungeon.
so if they wanted to eat during the day they had to do it inside their hotel room with food bought the night before
@AshleyNunn Wander in, along with the birds and dogs.
even my sister uses snapchat :/
(She is 9)
15:25
They attacked one of our party because she was carrying a coke. Luckily someone knew the sitch and shouted at her to put the coke down, then it was fine.
Note to people, please shred your papers. Don't rent a storage unit, because I'm looking at stacks of bank statements.
user15026
@fredley Oh, joy.
It might not look like much, but this is my new top pick (since my other two top picks have already sold)
@AshleyNunn Yup. Still preferable to Dubai.
user15026
@fredley Whaaaaat no
15:25
@Fluttershy I am now
what's up
@AshleyNunn Yeah. Monkeys are the worst. I got attacked in Delhi, mother carrying a child and I stared and smiled, which is about the worst body language you can display to a monkey.
user15026
@fredley Okay, I'm learning monkeys are pretty terrible
Monkeys are pretty scary
@AshleyNunn Yeah. They'll grab food right out of your hand too, cheeky things.
user15026
@fredley Ruuuuuuuude.
@AshleyNunn Also, they can have rabies, so if one bites you you have to go through that whole malarky
@ardaozkal Eh, it's in the right forum, IGS doesn't really mind if people post their games.
user15026
@fredley So basically they are fuzzy harbingers of doom and destruction. I see that now
Nobody uses their forums any more anyway
Site is going to die
user15026
@GnomeSlice :(
15:29
heh, they need a new design
@MBraedley Cool. You were moving to sackville, right?
Maybe something like chrono.gg
yeah they do
user15026
As long as they don't also kill the IRC
@AshleyNunn They are like weaponised feral children with maximum bloody-mindedness
15:30
@Wipqozn Yeah, that's what it's looking like.
user15026
@fredley Note: Keep away from monkeys.
user15026
@Wipqozn I started the first Dagger and Coin book last night and it is AMAZING
@AshleyNunn I wasn't impressed by the last one, but the first four are good.
Which book are you on @AshleyNunn?
I'm assumingv you read trough the first one in a night
user15026
@Wipqozn No, because I started it at 2 am

Q: Is Ganon Supposed To Revive Himself?

ParzivalI've been playing Zelda OOT on my N64 for a long while now, since I was around nine years old. It took me a while to first beat the game, and when I did, I discovered that I was able to beat the final boss, Ganondorf/Ganon over and over, and he/they would never permanently go away. I'm wondering ...

user15026
15:32
but I am 25% through it
@AshleyNunn Yup
And don't look at them - eye-contact is a sign of aggression. So is baring your teeth (smiling at them)
user15026
@fredley Great. So basically all the natural reactions to oh hey cute animal are going to get you in trouble.
@AshleyNunn Yup

Tea egg is a typical Chinese savory food commonly sold as a snack, in which a boiled egg is cracked and then boiled again in tea, sauce and/or spices. It is also known as marble egg because cracks in the egg shell create darkened lines with marble-like patterns.

Although it originated from China and is traditionally associated with Chinese cuisine, other similar recipes and variations have been developed throughout Asia. == Preparation == ...

Currently trying to slip past the red drake to open that up.
hes on the other side
But you do get a good bonfire if you get past him
@GnomeSlice Yeah. That's what I'm going for.
Wait behind one of the outcroppings until the drake flies down, then run past him
Don't forget to pull the lever once you make it.
17:24
And cut his tail off if you can
@GnomeSlice I ended up shooting his tail full of arrows until I got the sword and he left.
When I invade people I open that for them before I kill them
@Yuuki Yay lots of untaxed foreign assets
I though tax-exempt charity was already a pretty big part of it
just bring your own charity
@GnomeSlice How thoughtful of you. :P
My first ever Dark Souls run, someone invaded me, dropped a claymore, and left.
