@twobugs I haven't watched the video, but if you can confuse Pizzone and Pizz-own, it's a pronunciation failure before a spelling failure

two bugs

Pizza is on a bagel now. Nothing's the same anymore.

badp

is there honey in the bagel

two bugs

Pizza in the [morning, evening, suppertime]...

badp

you might as well put honey in the bagel

though lunch pizza is legit

not legit: sweet pizza

1:10 PM

Pizza that is just honey

No bread, no sauce, no cheese

Unionhawk

@twobugs Wouldn't that just be honey?

badp

@Unionhawk that was the joke

two bugs

No it's called a H'zone

Unionhawk

@badp I know, I was pointing out how dumb his joke was

badp

no joke left behind

Unionhawk

1:11 PM

It rates about 5 figurative @Uni

StrixVaria

@PrivatePansy Oh, but it's just drawing the Hanzi for it?

fredley

Coming to a church near you

Had to check this wasn't a parody site

badp

five literal figurative Uni's??

fredley

It's not

This is real

Private Pansy

@StrixVaria Yes, but given the size of the Chinese dictionary...

two bugs

1:13 PM

@fredley Megachurches are Real

I'm sorry you had to learn about them like this

fredley

@twobugs But seriously, a water slide

Seriously

two bugs

I wish I could say that surprises me.

Unionhawk

Meh

badp

@fredley the water is blessed

Arperum

Also throwing everyone randomly through the slide without warning?

badp

1:14 PM

it is useful to uncurse your inventory in style

Wipqozn

Well I think i've decided on my party for whne I start EO2U (cc @GraceNote @Sterno). Thinking it will be:

F: Protector / Dark Hunter / War Magus
B: Gunner / Hexer.

badp

you might want to unequip your metal armor and weapon first though

two bugs

Coming soon: Blessed wave pool

Blessed lazy river

Grace Note

That doesn't sound like D / W | G / H / G

two bugs

Blessed Log flume

Grace Note

1:15 PM

You're ALMOST THERE though

two bugs

@Wipqozn Are you not doing the story party in the EOU games? I did that because it's a nice different take on EO

Although I can understand just wanting to do the dungeon crawling without the frills

Wipqozn

@twobugs Story mode completely defeats the purpose of playing an EO game imo

Yuuki

@Wipqozn Not really?

Wipqozn

@Yuuki yes really

two bugs

Yeah I have to disagree, they've always had stories

Yuuki

1:16 PM

I mean, you're still dungeon crawling, which I imagine is the actual purpose of playing an EO game.

badp

Is this Europa Oneiriversalis: United States of Europe Edition? /cc @fredley

two bugs

Story mode just has it take more of a concrete stage

Wipqozn

Planning out a party, and making them all up, is a vital part of games

two bugs

@badp Etrian Odyssey

@Wipqozn Except you're still planning out all the synergies and whatnot

Wipqozn

@twobugs with classes you have no choice over

two bugs

1:17 PM

And they added the grimoires for extra customization

I mean if you want to talk about 'choice' you really only have that for the main game

In EO games

Postgame you use a few Very Good builds

Wipqozn

@Yuuki Planning out a party is like half the fun for me.

StrixVaria

@PrivatePansy Oh, I get the difficulty, as soon as you mentioned the concept.

Yuuki

@Wipqozn Yeah, makes sense that you don't like story mode then.

StrixVaria

I've made efforts to learn some Kanji in the past, so I'm at least passingly familiar with a very, very tiny fraction of what's there.

Wipqozn

@Yuuki Yup. It completely strips out a part of the game I enjoy. And that includes choosing what the members will look like and naming them after you guys.

two bugs

1:19 PM

I mean, I'm not saying you're wrong @Wipqozn, I just don't think story mode completely defeats the purpose

Wipqozn

@twobugs I disagree, but we both seem to enjoy the games, SO WHATEVERS. The more folks giving atlus money the better.

two bugs

But for games I've already played (EO1/2) I like replaying them in a different way

And the story parties are different from the ones I used in 1/2 anyway

Wipqozn

@twobugs yeah I dind't play them back ont he DS, except for EO3

Yuuki

I'm just glad for floor teleporting.

Wipqozn

My play order has been EOU -> EO3 -> EOIV -> EO2U (soon)

Yuuki

1:21 PM

Thank f--kin' god.

two bugs

EO3 is pretty much the best anyway in terms of customization

Even then for postgame it got constrained sadly

Solo Ninja probably has an easier time with the postgame final boss than many other party setups

Q: Minecraft: Chunk lightglitch

I've been making a survival/adventure map for the past 6 months, but one problem i've come across is a lightglitch in the middle of the shop i'm making. Here it is! This glitch is only visible during the night, and the only fix I know is by updating the chunk with a lightsource, issue here is...

Chippies

@Wipqozn what's EO in this context?

two bugs

Etrian Odyssey

Chippies

ah, don't know it

Unionhawk

1:23 PM

Except Overwatch

Excluding Overwatch?

Wipqozn

Speaking of which

Chippies

@Unionhawk so, any game except Overwatch?

Unionhawk

Evading Overwatch

there we go

Wipqozn

If the next handheld from nintendo lacks two screens I hope it doesn't kill the EO series

Yuuki

Even Overwatch.

Unionhawk

1:23 PM

No, @Wipqozn doesn't play Overwatch because he's lame

Wipqozn

Playing EO without two screens would be a huge dent to the experience. Mapping is a pretty crucial part of it, and not needing to open up a menu or something to do so is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge

Unionhawk

His lameness was long established before then, but still

Wipqozn

also touch screen

Chippies

@Unionhawk I don't play Overwatch, but I'm cool, right? RIGHT?!

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk Your face is lame

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT

I'll play some Overwatch tonight, just for @Sterno. Probably. Maybe.

Unionhawk

1:25 PM

Assuming the banwave ddosing is over

two bugs

Once I beat Demon Gaze I can get back to EO

Demon Gaze is a fun little dungeon crawler but it's no EO

Chippies

@Wipqozn I think BF4 had some android/iOS app that let you have the in-game map on a tablet, too bad such things are uncommon in games

Wipqozn

@GraceNote Would you prefer to have the Gunner or Hexer named after you?

Chippies

if such integration was more common, I'd actually buy a tablet, maybe]

two bugs

It has automapping and you just check the map with a button press, it's not a big deal

Wipqozn

1:26 PM

@Ash is obviously the protecter, since she has quite literally been my tank in every single EO game.

two bugs

I bet you refuse to name a character after me simply because I'm using the story party

Unionhawk

> Is Donald Trump Blowing It?

I hope so FiveThirtyEight, I hope so

two bugs

Story party in EOU1 kind of spoils part of the original twist right away but the cool part is that you have literal Canadian characters who talk about Maple syrup

Wipqozn

@twobugs yeah man

Frank

FF XV is apparently getting a season pass.

Wipqozn

1:29 PM

but I was planning to promote @Arperum and @badp to named characters this time around (feel special), not sure who the fifth will be. IT'll be a female bridger, though. Either that or I'll just name one fo the female characters after a male bridger

Frank

This displeases me greatly.

Wipqozn

@Frank That's upsetting

two bugs

@Frank Hm. That's an interesting choice.

Have they said how it'll work exactly?

Like, where the DLC will fit in the story?

Arperum

@Wipqozn \o/

two bugs

Or what form it'll take?

Wipqozn

1:31 PM

@Arperum You'll be a Dark Hunter. It's very metal.

two bugs

I have to wonder if my $300 FFXV edition will have a season pass. The fact that I have to ask means it probably won't

Private Pansy

Can we clean up the comments on this question?

Q: Will the same type of Pokemon always appear in the same spawn location?

There is a new app for iOS/browsers (soon for Android) called www.pokemonradargo.com. Users can add locations for specific Pokemon they saw or caught. But I doubt the usefulness of such an app. Will a specific Pokemon actually repeat their spawn location in Pokemon Go? This post about spawns do...

pokemon-go

Frank

@twobugs Nope. Squeenix hasn't even announced it.

Arperum

@Wipqozn Do I get to stab things is terrible ways?

Wipqozn

@Arperum You have a whip

Arperum

1:32 PM

@Wipqozn Sounds like a "yes".

Even though it's not technically stabbing.

Frank

It was spotted on the PSN store, as an add-on the digital premium version.

Arperum

Stabbing finds a way.

badp

@Wipqozn technically you don't know both bugs are male

Wipqozn

@badp true! I could name it either FirstBug or SecondBug

badp

TheBuggess

Wipqozn

1:34 PM

That would actually be hilarious. I might just do that.

two bugs

@Frank Hm. Interesting

Wipqozn

Yeah, SecondBug is definitely a female

sequoiad

not a fan of this season pass thing

it's like, you're asking me to pay for content that you havn't announced yet

two bugs

Meh, it can work and it can suck

sequoiad

sometimes before the base game has been released

two bugs

1:38 PM

Preordering it I think ends up not being great

But usually you can still buy them after the dlc is released

And get all of a "season" for cheaper than individual pieces

Unionhawk

squeenix more like $qu€€nix amirite

sequoiad

if there's £whatevers worth of DLC, it can work out good. but if I wouldn't buy the DLC on it's own, nope

badp

@Unionhawk $qu€€ni¤

sequoiad

except you don't often know if there even will be

two bugs

It's been nice when for example I wanted to get into a game late, i.e. Titanfall, and the DLC was all out already and it was quality stuff

I could just quickly and easily buy it all for cheaper than individual

Unionhawk

1:41 PM

Oh is it that time of year Wikipedia?

Cool

badp

@sequoiad watch out before some perl developer gets a brilliant idea and adds £ as an actual sigil

Frank

@twobugs Except they want you to pay for it, sight unseen.

That's generally why Season Passes are a bad idea.

It's the DLC equivalent of pre-ordering.

two bugs

@Frank Like I said, I don't like buying season passes before they even announce the contents

Unionhawk

Meh but a lot of the time it's still available after DLC is released

two bugs

@Unionhawk Yup that's my point

Unionhawk

1:42 PM

So it just ends up being Skyrim Legendary Edition for people who wait

sequoiad

@Frank yep. season pass on release is basically pre-ordering DLC

Frank

Once they have your money, they have zero incentive to actually provide decent DLC.

sequoiad

and you end up with horse armour

Unionhawk

I mean

Q: I time out on a certain minecraft server

I keep trying to connect to one of my favorite servers (my ping for that server is 92 ms most of the time), but I keep timing out. Also, when I try to connect to another server, it works all right, but for both creating a new singleplayer world and joining a different server then it keeps loading...

Q: Can't remember the title of an old PC game

I have hell of a time remembering the title of a game I played in early 2000s. That's probably one of the first games that I played ever, so I'd like to experience that feeling again, 16 years later :) So enough of the nostalgia, let's get to the facts. I remember: * This PC game was 2D platforme...

Nzall

@sequoiad alternatively, you are a developer who actually cares about their audience and you end up with Blood & Wine

Unionhawk

@badp niantic more like ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜

sequoiad

@Nzall true, cd projekt red ftw

Unionhawk

@Nzall pfft, nobody actually cares about anyone anymore

sequoiad

I miss actual, physical expansion packs

Unionhawk

1:47 PM

it's all about that $€£

Fluttershy

Unionhawk

it's all about spending as little effort as possible caring while maximizing not caring time

@Unionhawk niantic more like

Fluttershy

I find myself caring less and less about FFXV as the release draws nearer.

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy I didn't really enjoy the demo.

two bugs

1:51 PM

I haven't played the demo but I'm excited for it

StrixVaria

I will still probably wind up buying it.

Sterno

I don't think I've enjoyed a Final Fantasy game even a little bit since 10

two bugs

I really like FF games and the only recent one I wasn't crazy about was 14 /shrug

Sterno

And even that was pretty meh

StrixVaria

I liked 12 at first until I realized the progression system was really shallow and then the game lured me into an area with enemies that were way to hard and murdered me.

two bugs

1:52 PM

@Sterno You probably quit at the laughing scene

StrixVaria

I liked how linear 13 was, and the battle system was actually pretty neat. A big departure for the series, but fun.

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria Yeah, I wasn't a fan of the combat in the demo.

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy I didn't realize you could change weapons mid-combo when I was playing; I only saw that later when I saw someone else play it.

If I had figured that out, I might have had more fun.

Nzall

@Unionhawk Blizzard cares. Otherwise they wouldn't listen to their playerbase when they give feedback about Legion. Otherwise they wouldn't implement the new timeout system against abusive messages

Frank

@Nzall Otherwise they'd actually give us offline play for games that don't have to be always online.

Nzall

1:54 PM

And their timeout system works, because I'm far more reluctant to use swear words in public chat channels because I fear getting timed out

@Frank I do accept that they should consider adding an offline mode to Diablo 3

Unionhawk

YEAH IF BLIZZARD CARED, WHY WOULD THEY BAN A BUNCH OF KIDS PERMANENTLY WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THEY WOULD HAVE CONTACTED ANONYMOUS VIA SKYPE TO DDOS

Fluttershy

@twobugs I'm the opposite here. I loved FF up through 10, hated 11-13, and loved 14.

Unionhawk

OBVIOUSLY

Frank

@Nzall So they do care. Sometimes. But only when they want to.

Unionhawk

He said, sarcastically

arda

1:56 PM

But why?

Unionhawk

Wat

two bugs

@Fluttershy Yes well you're wrong

I love all of the FF games

Nzall

@Frank Blizzard has years of development experience in multiple genres. I defer to their ability to know what's best for the game

Fluttershy

@twobugs there are many more who would argue that you are the one who is wrong, what with your liking of FF13.

two bugs

Well they're wrong for thinking I'm wrong

13 is flawed but it's still enjoyable

Frank

1:58 PM

@Nzall And doesn't excuse their piss poor choices.

two bugs

13-2 was a clear upgrade

Frank

Even SC2 didn't need to be always online.

sequoiad

i like the new silencing system in Legion

two bugs

13-3 is pure sillyness

Sterno

@twobugs No, I made it to the final boss

Nzall

1:58 PM

@Frank DOesnt SC2 have an offline mode?

Unionhawk

Yeah! And their newest game is also always online!

badp

@Unionhawk You know you're talking to anonymous if the other end replies "Hello, yes, this is dog"

Sterno

Then decided I want to go grind out the superweapon first or something, got bored, and never came back

Unionhawk

WHEN WILL THEY LEARN

Frank

@Nzall Not to my knowledge.

sequoiad

1:59 PM

i even braved an LFR the other day... and didnt have to shut my chat window

which is a first

two bugs

@Sterno Oh fair enough, some of those are really annoying to unlock

arda

@Unionhawk anon is a hacktivism team that started on 4chan. They aren't organized. Some of them might be attacking bc they are banned, but I don't think that the whole group is officially attacking.

Nzall

@Frank eu.battle.net/support/en/article/7043

then what's that?

The lightning one can fuck off because it's just "do something really boring but easy without losing focus for a while"

True, you have to authenticate every 30 days, but you got an offline mode
