@twobugs They try to pull off gritty and dark.
 
@Wipqozn yeah it was clear that this is a mod wide thing and it was your turn to do the write up.
 
@twobugs I don't think I have ever disagreed with you more.
 
@Yuuki 30 minutes added, that's not much
 
All the different shades of brown and grey.
 
@KazWolfe Okami
 
4:00 PM
@twobugs Don't you ever get tired of being wrong about everything? It must be exhausting.
 
@twobugs yeah this is a pretty terrible assertion
 
@Fluttershy hm. thank you.
 
@twobugs Oh okay, not as bad I've been told.
 
@KazWolfe In Twilight Princess you turn into a wolf
 
So... pretty much missing the critical Africa subplot?
 
4:01 PM
Hey, you guys are allowed to like the Nolanbat movies
 
They need much better editors then.
 
The One True Batman Film!
 
pls
 
@Yuuki a lot of transition scenes to make it less jarring
 
@Yuuki A few (major) Africa scenes and some other interstitial scenes
 
4:01 PM
Okami was a wolf who painted stuff on the world in the game. So I guess that meets the "artistic wolf" status. :P
 
@Sterno yes. just, yes.
 
yeah, i think it does.
would "tiny aliens" fit any other game than Pikmin?
 
Welp I just got off the phone and I think I missed this lunch thing for out interns
Oh well
 
Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.
 
@twobugs you were too busy being wrong about batman
 
4:02 PM
@GodEmperorDune On the phone, actually
And no, I am correct about Nolanbat
 
@KazWolfe Nothing comes to mind. Pikmin were pretty tiny.
 
He is not actually Batman
 
How is he not?
 
hmm... thank you.
 
he's much better than batfleck
 
4:03 PM
@GodEmperorDune Absolutely not
 
Is Deadpool not counted as part of the MCU then?
 
@Fluttershy One of the things he does is whine about how he doesn't like being Batman
 
@twobugs so batfleck getting all pouty is better?
 
@sequoiad Nope
 
4:04 PM
i suppose not, since it's the Xmen lot that have the rights?
 
He also, depending on the movie, either kills a lot of people or doesn't kill anyone ever.
 
@sequoiad He is not. X-men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool are not MCU.
 
That was also 20th century fox
 
@GodEmperorDune Being angry and grumpy is a core part of the Batman experience.
 
vs... whoever is in charge of MCU these days (Disney or something like that I think right?)

Q: Is there any other kingdom than Hyrule?

Fredy31In the same vein as my other question Is there any other kingdom than the Mushroom Kingdom?, we all know that Zelda is the Princess of Hyrule, but is there any other kingdoms visited during Link's adventures? What territories seen in the games are not in the Hyrule 'Kingdom' (thinking about it, I...

Q: What wishes have been made upon the Triforce?

Fredy31The myth of the triforce says that anybody who touches the Triforce can see any of their wishes made real. Ganon tries often to take it for himself to wish ultimate power, ruling the world, and other bad guy things. But has the triforce ever granted a wish. To who, and what did they wish for?

Q: Do you retain rank rewards when switching factions?

IsziWhen I first started participating in the faction system, I signed up under Edmund Mahon - feeling the Alliance best fit the type of role-play I might want to take part in. However, as I'm sure happens with many new players, before long I started wondering what Earth looked like in the Elite uni...

 
Also having all of your underlings getting maimed/killed. Crucial Batman experience.
 
@Unionhawk well, that just makes me sad
 
@twobugs And you think Christian Bale's Batman wasn't angry or grumpy? He hated everything. Including being Batman.
 
@Fluttershy he even hated his vocal cords
 
@Fluttershy Part of being Batman is that he cares so much that he keeps doing it and to a certain extent can't stop
Nolanbat is like "Oh well I want Harvey to take over because ohh its so hard"
 
4:06 PM
@twobugs like in dark knight rises where he keeps doing it even after his personal life goes to shit?
 
Key portions of the character were missed, I think, in Nolanbat
 
@twobugs Which is exactly what he did. Until Rises, which was not a very good movie. But Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are both great films.
 
@GodEmperorDune You mean after completely disappearing for 7 years and slightly before faking his own death?
In the movie timeline he spends significantly less time being Batman than being Batman
@Fluttershy Begins is probably my favorite
I'd say Begins > TDK > TDKR
 
@twobugs it pulled from the dark knight returns, batman is allowed to retire
 
The thing about Batman is he never really wants to be Batman. He's a means to an end, and only ever wanted to be Batman for as long as it was necessary.
 
4:08 PM
@Fluttershy You can argue that, but it's kind of missing a key part of the character
Which is his own obsession
 
but that is meaningful because he spent time doing hte batman thing, unlike BvS where you never see him being real batman, just being really old batman
 
The world should not need a Batman, but while it does, I am going to make so many awesome Bat-logo'd things.
 
@twobugs you keep saying this, but I don't see how.
 
@Fluttershy Because Batman is obsessed with being Batman. He's not a mentally healthy individual.

Q: Request for comments tag == borderline opinion expected

vianna77We all know that opinion-based questions should be avoided. But there are questions that when properly formatted would generate answers that are acceptable in quality but they are opinions based on the player experience with the game. Those answers can be extremely useful even if not everyone ag...

 
4:10 PM
A common theme is that the line between him and some of the villains is a lot finer than most people want to admit. But it's Batman's dedication to his own principles no matter how hard it gets that helps him hold on
 
He got in wonder womans pants so he must be doing something right
 
i mean the whole point of dark knight returns is that batman is too old to do all the shit by himself, so he needs to set up passing the torch. BvS completely misses that to focus on "dark knight returns has a cool batman superman fight at the end, so lets base it on that"
@GnomeSlice wat
 
@GnomeSlice Different continuity
 
oh, there's split timelines, right
 
@GodEmperorDune TDKR is not about passing the torch
 
4:11 PM
Yeah. The old Knightfall arc tried to poke at 'What if Batman killed?' when Jean Paul Batman was running around.
 
@twobugs which all of the nolan films go into better than BvS
 
Which the answer is: Scares the shit out of Robin.
 
@twobugs That's exactly what it was about thought?
 
@GodEmperorDune Absolutely not
@Fluttershy No, it's about how Bale doesn't want to be Batman
 
@Unionhawk What about your mom?
 
4:12 PM
The movie opens with him having been in hiding because he DOESN'T WANT TO BE BATMAN and he's been like this for 7 years
 
@twobugs rises is about batman getting new robin and the police underground literal thing to help him
 
@GodEmperorDune That happens at the very end after he fakes his own death because he doesn't want to be batman
 
This discussion is going to go in circles because we fundamentally disagree on the overall theme of TDKR, it seems.
 
Nolanbat 3 was not good.
1 and 2 were, though.
 
I think we need to have Terry McGinnis already. Bruce Wayne is kinda very boring.
 
4:13 PM
@Fluttershy yeah i agree
 
@Sterno I'm glad we can agree on 3
Yeah, you guys just didn't watch TDKR apparently
 
wait
 
3 was not as good as the other 2, but it was still better than BvS
 
Since I'm quoting the actual movie
 
bruce wayne isnt the only batman?
 
4:13 PM
Batman never wants to be Batman. That's his whole thing. He doesn't do it because he wants to. He does it because someone has to. When he sees the opportunity to get out and pass the torch, he does it.
 
@Fluttershy In the Nolanverse, yes
 
Although honestly, if I was Batman and then Anne Hathaway was all "Yo, why don't we go to Paris and netflix and chill", I'd probably hang that bat costume up too
 
@Fluttershy Uhhh... wat.
 
I liked 2 a lot, 1 and 3 though were kinda meh
 
But in the other universe, no. He wants to be Batman.
He Never Stops Trying to make a difference.
 
4:14 PM
Yeah. Bruce Wayne had his spine shattered by Bane in the comics and was unable to be Batman for a time.
UNTIL HE HEALED HIS BROKEN SPINE.
 
That's a core component of his character that is completely missed in Nolanbat
 
how
 
@GnomeSlice plot magic
 
Nolanbat is also not really a detective, just a punchman
 
The same stuff that made Bane into the roid monster, I think.
 
4:15 PM
oh i see
@twobugs he detects faces to punch
4
 
I'm not saying you can't like Nolanbat, but I'm saying why I think they're flawed.
 
@twobugs that i can agree with
 
@Yuuki Specifically Nolan's Batman. From the start, he didn't want to do it.
 
@twobugs Clark Kent is a better detective than Nolanbat!
 
Hello there ! :)
 
4:16 PM
@Yuuki Especially in BvS :)
 
But saying a character is bad because he doesn't stick to his comic book counterpart is just silly.
 
well i think we can all agree that 90s animated batman was the best batman
 
@Fluttershy The argument was about whether or not he was really Batman
 
@GodEmperorDune no
 
@GodEmperorDune No, original Batman with a gun is the best Batman.
 
4:16 PM
So pointing out how he misses core aspects of the character is important.
 
you take that back
 
@twobugs he's really film batman
 
Adam West
 
Adam West would resort to his Bat-plot-solver.
 
4:17 PM
@GnomeSlice He's Nolan film Batman. There are Batman movies before and after the Nolan ones.
 
right
 
Guys,
Someone want's to talk with me on skype about technical stuff ? :)
I need to practice my english :)
I don't bite :p
 
 
SHARK REPELLENT
 
it doesn't make him a fake batman
 
4:18 PM
@SofieneDjebali This is gaming, dude.
Also, I fear talking to other humans.
 
@Sterno I can talk about gaming :)
 
@GnomeSlice If he misses core aspects of the character then yeah that's a problem.
 
@fredley Motion controls need some work.
 
@SofieneDjebali That's off-topic.
 
just means film batman is different
 
4:19 PM
And that I'm allowed to criticize him for being different in ways that compromise core aspects of the character
 
@SofieneDjebali Generally, if you spam the same thing in several rooms, it doesn't end well for you.
Most people will flag that as spam for that exact reason.
 
@Frank First time I've seen it
 
@Frank :(
 
no need to chase him away, just don't reply if you aren't interested
 
Pretty sure @twobugs wants to chat with @SofieneDjebali about how Batman isn't really Batman unless he's Batman.
BE THE BAT
 
4:20 PM
I actually need to get some damn lunch
 
@Sterno hear hear
 
Good idea.
 
@twobugs you'd have lunch already if you were the goddamn batman
 
@twobugs The main issue here is you're arguing he's not Batman because he doesn't match your standard for Batman.
 
Anyway @Fluttershy is misguided but I will allow him to continue
 
4:20 PM
I'll check what they're serving in the canteen today...
 
@GodEmperorDune is just completely wrong
 
My favorite (nonsense, but still fun) conspiracy theory about No Man's Sky's multiplayer is that PC multiplayer will work but PS4 doesn't, and that's why the dev is being vague adn the PC release got pushed back... to make sure it didn't kill PS4 sales.
 
@Fluttershy Well, the character has been established for Quite A Long Time
 
Conspiracy theories best theories.
 
Batman seems like the kind of guy who would pack his lunch and keep it on a utility belt pouch or something
 
4:21 PM
He's still Batman. Just like New 52 Batman is still Batman. Batman Beyond Batman is still Batman. Etc.
 
@twobugs meh, the second amendment types will take care of it
 
@Fluttershy But those characters have core similarities
 
what about teen titans robin
 
Adam West is still Batman
and forever will be
 
@GnomeSlice Just not Teen Titans Go anything
 
4:22 PM
I think we can all agree that this is the best Batman:
 
@Sterno Yes
 
teen titans is the best
 
If you start peeling away at a character's identity, yes you can reach a point where people feel they aren't the same anymore
 
@GnomeSlice I know, but not the new series
 
looks like Batman
smells like Batman
 
4:22 PM
The fact that I'm being criticized for saying this is frankly weird
 
talks like Batman
@twobugs i didnt criticize you
 
If it looks like batman, and quacks like batman, it's probably a duck
or something
I should get lunch
 
2bats
 
inb7 qdoba
 
IF YOU AIM TO GIVE US A SHOT WE'LL RIDDLE YOU
 
4:23 PM
Well intern lunch was fuct because of phone call
Extra fuct cause @GodEmperorDune was wrong on the internet
 
I'll get tacos or something
 
@twobugs Meh interns are the worst
 
@Sterno A helicopter!
 
@MadMAxJr yes this makes sense. @2bugs doesn't like nolan batman because it doesn't do him justice. @2bugz == @2batz
 
4:24 PM
2bats1film
 
even though @2bugz == @2face would be more appropo
 
Something something Zubatman joke here.
 
@Sterno a fate worse than zumba
 
2bats would have 4face, which is organized like a SWOT analysis chart for a face.
 
Ugh
Everything about this problem is stupid and I hate it
 
4:26 PM
@twobugs I just adamantly disagree with the notion of "it's not really X because it doesn't fit my idea of what X should be." It runs so closely parallel with the argument that the new Ghostbusters were awful because it didn't fit what the fan base believed Ghostbusters to be.
 
like bamboo kazooie nuts n books
5
close enough
 
@Fluttershy To be fair, from what I've seen of the new Ghostbusters, it is pretty awful.
 
@Fluttershy The new ghostbusters are awful for different reasons than that
 
@Yuuki It really isn't, though. I've seen it, and it was a fun, funny movie.
 
Yup. I loved it too.
 
4:29 PM
The argument was "the new Ghostbusters are awful because they are women." And that's such bullshit.
 
It was an okay movie. Nothing special or fantastic. It was meh due to writing, not due to casting.
 
Ive heard a lot of "the new ghostbusters are awesome because they are women"
which is just as dumb
 
@MadMAxJr The main issue I had with it was the overly generic villain.
 
@Fluttershy I can agree with that.
 
@GnomeSlice I've literally never heard that.
 
4:30 PM
YOU KNOW WHAT, CITIES NEED GHOSTS. I'M GONNA DO THAT.
 
go on Twitter
or tumblr
 
Other than that, though, it was awesome. And the jabs they took at the crying MRA fan base were pretty fantastic.
 
The only comments I've heard about their genders is cries of feminism ruining peoples childhoods
 
good morning bridge
 
The only gadget I didn't like was the GHOST FISTGUN.
The rest of it was neat.
 
4:32 PM
Holtzmann is my spirit animal.
 
Looks like they're killing plans for a second film and Ghost Corps will be pushing an animated series. :|
 
@MadMAxJr They weren't even very good.
 
@Fluttershy The trailer smake it look like a pretty standard hollywood bread and cut comedy who don't what to write, so I ain't going to see it. but I also don't see most movies since I think most of'em ae crap, so YOU KNOW
 
I got some amusement out of seeing Hemsworth be an idiot.
 
@Wipqozn You should go see it! The trailers were awful. But the movie is good.
 
4:33 PM
It was better than the trailers but I don't know that I'd actually recommend anyone go see it.
 
I didn't enjoy Kristen Wiig on SNL, but she was not bad in this movie.
 
All female reboot of oceans 11 coming too
 
Particularly someone who thinks "most movies are crap"
 
I wasn't a fan of the original ghostbusters either tbh
 
We need an all-female reboot of The Bridge
 
4:33 PM
It's a good lazy Sunday "Well there's nothing else on Netflix good" viewing.
 
@Sterno If someone can come up with female versions of veveryones avatars I could totally mod abuse for equality

Q: Is distance traveled still counted?

TerryIn Pokemon Go is the distance traveled still measured and counted towards eggs whilst you are in a battle or have a prompt on screen? For example. With the new "I'm a passenger" prompt coming up randomly whilst I'm walking for to gps wander.

 
that doesn't sound like equality
 
6 hours ago, by Wipqozn
@GnomeSlice I wonder if it'll be any good. Oceans 11 was the only good one imo, the others were terrible.
 
You want 80s nostalgia and monsters that are good, go watch Stranger Things.
 
4:35 PM
And even Oceans 11 wasn't that good.
 
also, I don't get why you seem so...defensive, or offended, or whatever, at there being these all female reboots of old movies, @GnomeSlice
 
But yeah, the sequels were trash
 
@Wipqozn I'm not offended
i still want to see the new ghostbusters
I've seen like half of it
it was okay, some of the people are really annoying
 
@MadMAxJr I'm two episodes in, and I love it already. The opening title animation alone sold me on it.
 
@Fluttershy I still need to watch this
 
4:36 PM
@MadMAxJr Music by S U R V I V E too
 
I'll probably get to it eventually
 
I want to see a female reboot of Trump.
 
Sarah palin?
 
Not even close.
 
@Sterno I want to see a female reboot of your mom
 
4:38 PM
DO YOU?
 
@Wipqozn Now your mom is played by Jennifer Aniston.
 
TIL I am probably not buying NMS
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, I wasn't expecting a ton. But it does go to show that this dev likes to insinuate big things and they turn out to either not exist or are like the absolute bare minimum that can technically satisfy what he's saying as truth.
 
@Sterno Reminds me of mister peter can't spell his last name
 
4:42 PM
I'm looking forward to a nice exploration and ship shooter experience that can't be ruined by other people except for 'witty' naming.
 
I think if all you were playing for was to find out what's at the center it probably wouldn't hold your attention for the 100 hours that supposedly takes
 
it's mostly survival
 
I'll probably give it a shot once it goes on sale
 
Wait that was posted here, not in gdse chat right?
 
4:43 PM
I mean it can't be bad as Peter Molyneux hyped games.
 
@KevinvanderVelden I posted a link to it earlier
 
FABLE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. REAL DOG SIMULATIONS.
 
@PrivatePansy aah, meh
 
Also, it's a little misleading to say... well, I won't quote it, but what that reddit post says. You have to do specific things when you get there to make the thing happen that it says. it's not just like you get the center and BAM it happens
One thing I'm starting to like in NMS is I occasionally find abandoned buildings that are overrun by some weird plant stuff and there are datalogs that have a Cthulhu vibe to them.
 
4:45 PM
@Sterno yeah I took a quick glance at the video, and the reddit post is really misleading.
 
As long as I don't get to the center of the galaxy only for the game to crash to desktop.
Or reveal that the center of the galaxy is the giant floating head of Ted Danson.

Q: Why doesn't my character/universe/profile sync between computers?

MrBoJanglesAs opposed to another Chuckle Fish title, Stardew Valley, where my profiles are synced (using Steam) Just wondering if anyone can shed a little light on some of the technical reasons why this is not happening.

 
@Sterno That's cool, but it doesn't make sense that they would be spread across the entire galaxy does it?
i mean maybe
 
some huge ancient civ left tem
 
4:47 PM
@Wipqozn what do you call a chicken that crosses the street, rolls in the mud, then crosses the street agin?
 
@Dragonrage Your mom? KFC Chicken?
 
A dirty double crosser.
 
lololol
 
@GnomeSlice Well, there's plenty of things in games that don't make sense, so that doesn't bother me, but I could certainly seem some rationale for it indeed being spread out.
I mean, there are 18 quintillion planets in the game or whatever but I'm pretty sure every single one is populated by one of three races.
Because they coded up 3 NPC races.
 
And all of those 18 quintillion planets have Pokemon Go questions.
 
4:50 PM
All about how to play without GPS signal
 
One cool thing about NMS is that if they keep adding content to it in terms of more random encounters and things that happen the game will grow to be pretty damn cool
 
On an iPad that is 5 years old
 
@Unionhawk it's because Niantic neglected to use UPS.
 
If you have a game that uses procedure generation and random encounters, expanding that pool of random encounters is a great and easy way to add variety and make it more fun
Instead, they're going to do... base building.
yay?
I really hope people figure out how to mod the PC version
 
HI, ZARGOTH HERE FROM OMNICRUX 9, POKEMON GO ISN'T RELEASED HERE BUT I GOT THE APK TO RUN ON MY HYPERBAND MENTALLINK DX7. WHEN I GPS SPOOF TO APPEAR ON EARTH (In just one city around a few pokestops), IT STOPS WORKING. WHEN WILL NIANTIC FIX THS?
7
PS NOT DUPLICATE
 
4:52 PM
No no, "WHEN WILL YOU FIX THIS?"
 
@Sterno yikes
 
Because everyone knows we're the guys that make this stuff
 
@Lazers2.0 off topic
 
@Sterno So every other game
:(
 
ZARGOTH FOR MOD 2017
I wonder how much longer survival games will be a thing
 
4:53 PM
You don't want to vote for him. His brother is a known minecraft modded crash log poster.
 
Question is basically asking why the game doesn't use Steam cloud sync
 
@MadMAxJr Hi, I am Niantic Support. I would just like to say, we appreciate your concern, and because our GPS doesn't work for other planets, we decided to disable it. Hopefully this fix will solve your problems.
 
@Wipqozn as long as early access remains, all survival-crafting games will forever exist
 
@Dragonrage Additionally we are beta testing a new range finder on Omnicrux 7.
I fear long range space travel.
 
@MadMAxJr *rage finder
 
4:56 PM
Because we're going to get to Mars and Elon Musk will have been there for about a year.
 
Elon Musk is already on Mars, and is simply translating his conscious into our minds
 
Really I should go play the expansion for TOME4
AVATAR OF BEARNESS BEWARE
 
I figure he's putting in some electric car charge stations and some eco-friendly mini-marts.
 
When Curiosity got to Mars, it found a message saying "Chuck Norris was here" dated 1/1/1000
 
Mars is pretty far away, you might want a snack when you get there.
 
4:57 PM
Tesla's full stock of cars is in a warehouse on Mars, I'm sure
 
@Sterno Bearness Beware, You're In For A Scare
 
The last episode of star gate atlantis is so disappointing plot wise =[
 
New Meta Discussion: Arqade only for games on earth or AVAILABLE from Earth?
 
@Fluttershy That's fine and I can respect that, I shouldn't have said "Not real Batman" but I think this was a change for changes sake that didn't really improve anything
 
4:59 PM
Chipotle has happy hour in Ohio and Chicago?
What?
