This doesn't look good for launch day.
@RedRiderX not unless you think ATLUS is indie. Persona is just a subset of a much larger franchise. might seem indie to some because it's been recent that new Shin Megami Games have been getting English releases too....and not butchered by US Localization
Oh man they can't not launch with Zelda right?
still, proably wont be seeing the original come over
Hmm but what will their pack in be?
What will their nintendoland / wii sports be?
Arms?
That can't cut it right?
@RedRiderX didn't they do just that with the Wii U oh wait i see
05:02
@RedRiderX If they don't launch with Zelda, I have no more confidence in their business strategy.
No matter how much third-party support they get.
If they launch with Skyrim and not Zelda I swear...
@RedRiderX ...you'll mod Skyrim to play like Zelda
Regardless of how well they do elsewhere, not launching with Zelda means they've lost a fundamental understanding of their audience.
Hmm... so does the console have a touchscreen?
@RedRiderX nop
afaik
05:04
Hmm okay
So no good mario maker port then.
And no good ds ports...
Hm. some people are saying it does have one some are saying it doesn't
don't recall seeing it in the announcement trailer a while back
Well at least I didn't miss the zelda trailer.
Wait March 3
user15026
@Yuuki I think they've just stated it will be launch
Yeah
Weird to bury the lead on that one but oh well
user15026
I think they wanted to go out with a bang as it were
05:06
yeah
user15026
well, so far it's not something I'll be picking up day one
@Ash Yeah, they needed it...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The boxing game looks like it might be a sleeper hit actually.
But the presentation was otherwise underwhelming.
user15026
I really don't see much I will play
05:08
Hopefully, they pull out some bigger punches in the coming months or March might look like a Bad Time.
@Ash likewise. US$300 gets me more games and so far i don't have any exact game titles i want. i got the Wii U for Xenoblade and that's about it.
user15026
So I will just wait and see and play my 3DS stuff in the meantime
LoZ and Spla2n are all I need for the Switch.
I haven't enjoyed a Mario game since 64.
@Yuuki "Punches" heh
@Fluttershy wtf
05:09
@Yuuki It does seem like a fun motion game.
But I don't see a title that really uses the unique parts of the Switch
@Fluttershy Mario Party is ok but since the Wii version it started to suck.
i prefer the classic kind of board the DK Board was like, you know, gather 20 coins, get to star ad buy it before anyone else. rinse and repeate
Well maybe that's because there are no unique parts idk
@Fluttershy 3d, 2d, or rpg?
or sports
I think I'll probably get BotW for the Wii U unless Nintendo drops concrete news of some bigger hits.
@RedRiderX Really any of them. <_<
Even Super Paper Mario was lacking in gameplay. would have rathered what they did on the 64 and Game Cube
05:11
@Fluttershy Also, I don't think they released a date for the Mario game, did they?
@Yuuki Holiday 2017
@Yuuki Holiday 20... that. ^
Did they even announce GameCube VC?
@Yuuki Hmm I'm not sure it could run a GameCube virtual console.
user15026
blergh, this thing has made me super grumpy. I think I am going to shower and go to bed because I am starting to get weirdly sad because I feel like the world keeps moving to higher and higher tech/intricacy/depth things and that makes me feel like there is less and less room for me as a gamer
05:13
Possible Bomberman game though.
@Yuuki classic style Bomberman? or kinda like 64 and Second Strike
@Ash and yet casual games are still the biggest market
look at pokemon go making all the money
@Memor-X The 2-second shot of it looked like classic style.
user15026
@GodEmperorDune but I don't like a lot of casual games really either? Like I play them for a day or two and get bored because there's not enough depth
@Fluttershy dang
05:15
@Ash :/
user15026
THere's this weird window where I get the depth i want without feeling overwhelmed and Nintendo was generally good at hitting it
user15026
I don't know
user15026
I think I am feeling too tired and too trashbody to think about this
well, could hope that the shot was just multiplayer
If this is some weird 4D chess method of dealing with the Classic Nintendo Supply Shortage, I'd like a different tactic.
05:16
@Ash i prescribe a hearty helping of large baguette
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I listened to One Last Time so much today
user15026
Which is not large baguette but is good
@Ash yeah, i was stuck on kelly clarkson's quiet uptown
user15026
@GodEmperorDune That one tears my soul out through my ears
user15026
Like I just can't with it
05:18
seriously
between that and "who tells your story"... its too much
Oh wait, the Fire Emblem title is a Hyrule Warriors-style Dynasty Warriors remix?
I dunno how I feel about this...
user15026
@GodEmperorDune “I was emailed the song at like one in the morning, and I was pregnant with my little boy,” she began. “And I had not seen Hamilton. Really, I’m just like a couple weeks from having my boy and the song is about a boy dying. I was like, ‘Are you serious?'” (from here
user15026
Which makes it WOOOORSE
@Ash OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I know, right?
05:20
They really needed a better presentation if they were going to announce paid online services...
Oh also they didn't mention amiibos at all did they?
Are amiibos dead then?
@RedRiderX They mentioned the right controller has NFC reader
Ah well then
user15026
Two special editions for Breath of the Wild apparently
I guess they sold too many of those to just drop support
But now I really want to know if there is a touch screen...
05:22
@Ash dat sword statue
Well, the 3DS launch titles were terrible, so hopefully it'll head down that route instead of the Wii U route.
@RedRiderX The middle screen is a capacitative touch screen
@Ash F--k....
@PrivatePansy Ah well
I'm really hyped for BotW so I want that stuff, but at the same time I'm super not hyped for the Switch now...
05:25
@Yuuki Hmm and Nintendo hasn't been know for over-producing their physical merch...
@RedRiderX Ugh...
Man thinking back why didn't they have a Pokemon game?
Seems like the window to cash in on Go fever is closing.
@RedRiderX but $129 is a lot for game plus sword plus other stuff
@RedRiderX it's not as intense but people are still playing
They probably want to release the x.5 version instead of rereleasing the x.0 version.
And I guess a new mainline Pokemon did just come out.
05:31
Yeah, main series Pokémon comes in two halves per gen, they're probably waiting on the second half.
And mobile editing is borked.
user15026
@Fluttershy this made me laugh a lot
@Fluttershy I'd probably get the cheaper one if I do decide to get it.
05:32
Never mind amiibos live
I like the new Zelda design
Very take-charge action girl.
user15026
She doesn't look like so much like a helpless princess :D
She has voice acting this time around, right?
Wait 32gb of internal storage
Oh my
user15026
From a Tiny Cartridge post: "“Subscribers will get to download and play a Nintendo Entertainment System™ (NES) or Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ (Super NES) game (with newly-added online play) for free for a month.”

Sounds like the game expires after the month (or asks for more money) which is Very Bad, but online play is Very Good, so in conclusion, the Nintendo Switch is a land of contrasts."
05:36
Phones have more then that
(well not my phone but still)

@RedRiderX What the heeeeeeell?
Expandable with MicroSD
But still
I thought they've been trying to push their digital market?
The heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelll?
Oh they will have a wii sports style pack in
1, 2, Switch
er, 1-2-Switch?
05:40
I seriously hope this launch is more of a 3DS-esque omen than Wii U one.
Cause the 3DS launch was horribad.
Oh game carts won't be sd though?
> 32GB of internal memory, a portion of which is reserved for use by the system. Users can easily expand storage space using microSDXC cards
> a portion of which is reserved for use by the system
wow
> 6.2-inch, multi-touch capacitive touch screen; can display a resolution of 1280 x 720.
that's a bit disappointing too.
I guess this should be seen as more of a handheld release than a console release.
I had hoped for more then 720
:|
@RedRiderX that's only on the unit itself though
I imagine it's 1080 when you hook it up to a tv?
05:44
@GnomeSlice Well yeah
But my Nexus 7 inch tablet (2014) is 1080
> The paid online service will be available in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico only at launch.
Wait, what?
Suck it, EU. And UK.
And I don't like the conflicting sticky headers on this page
But now I'm just nitpicking
@Yuuki And, like, Japan?
user15026
@RedRiderX That's what I found weird as well
@RedRiderX Console online isn't nearly as big in Japan.
I feel like I must be misunderstanding that but I don't know how.
05:48
Population density means ad-hoc is a much bigger thing.
And it does seem like they are supporting that well
S'why handhelds sell so much better than consoles in Japan.
And incidentally why PC gaming is super underrepresented.
Oh my gosh they totally are selling it with those colours
Were they that hard to tell apart in focus groups?
Seems like it.
Also I wouldn't want to be the one stuck with the red wheel
But honestly I'm much more disappointed they don't sell a Blue-Red set to offset the Red-Blue set it comes with
Especially since they are selling Red-Red and Blue-Blue
05:58
Looking at the the totality of the announcement feels slightly better.
With FE Warriors, Breath, and Xenoblade 2, I'm kinda leaning towards getting it on launch.
Yeah if you want rpgs you're set
user15026
If you don't though....you're kinda hosed it feels like
And Spla2n as well.
Now that I know about FE Warriors, I'm feeling even less inclined to pick up my Wii U and play Hyrule Warriors.
Dynasty Warriors gameplay is pretty much identical throughout the series after all.
Man Zelda games aren't as scary as they used to be
user15026
@GnomeSlice Majora's Mask still gives me the heebie jeebies
06:09
as they used to be
even Wind Waker was pretty creepy
@Ash thousand foot stare child link in ocarina was pretty creepy too
this new one just looks like fun for the whole family
I mean, you really aren't going to top Majora's Mask as far as scare factor goes.
hello, just got an email from NISA that Disgaea 5 will be on the Switch
Might as well not risk trying.
06:10
@Yuuki nope, no one beats nightmare fuel moon
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Ture this
Ocarina was pretty damn scary in some parts
they got the limited edition available for pre-order now. US Only at the moment
forest temple... great deku tree...
@GodEmperorDune Not just the Moon, freaking everything about that game.
06:10
re-deads that froze you
the fucking THING WITH THE HANDS
@GnomeSlice like under the well, those dead heads
user15026
@GnomeSlice I hate the hands
Hand in the toilet.
and those zombie things which scream
user15026
06:11
@GodEmperorDune that scream they make
I stood in that room for like 10 minutes just staring at the hands
Although I guess that was just more weird than scary.
well congrats all, I won't be able to sleep tonight
Transformation cutscenes.
wtf
and there was the house of skulltula
which was literally just people that were half turning into spiders
honestly Ocarina is scarier than Majora's Mask if you ask me
the moon was freaky but I mean
user15026
06:14
@GnomeSlice I never went in there. I knew you could get stuff for getting the gold skulltulas but it freaked me out too much
@GnomeSlice oh i forgot about that
there was going inside the whale
that was fuct
the friggin giant cyclops spider boss in the tree
the forest temple used to scare the shit out of me too I would get stuck there because I was too afraid to go in
@GnomeSlice try actually hitting them where they stun, first they scream then when they unfreeze they spin around and take a chunk out of you
and then when you went to the present/future everyone in the castle town was literally dead and turned into a zombie
everything was in ruins
that's fuct
Then you have this asshole
aka Manus, Father of the Abyss
ok i don't get this. earlier this week i was able to access the Bandai Namco store and register and put myself on the contact list for Tales of Berseria Collector's Edition. now all i get are shirts
@GnomeSlice actually his name is alot better, it's Bongo Bongo
06:20
I know who it is
yeah i forgot how fuct those N64 zeldas were
Right??
screw it. it's probably some geoblocking bullshit again which means that despite PAL territories advertising Tales of Berseria Collector's Edition (but never having it stock) the US was hording it like they always seem to do
yeh, the Internet really connects the world
07:18
@Ash @Yuuki @Arperum friendly reminder that KoL combats have a little extra flavor today because friday the 13th
user15026
@GodEmperorDune oooh yay
@Ash hey you're supposed to be asleep
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Yeah I know, I didn't silent my phone so it dinged
user15026
Going to try the sleeping thing again
07:55
@GodEmperorDune urface is a black cat.
@Arperum hue

Q: How do people know how to use a Power Armor?

BebsIn the previous Fallout games, not anyone could use a Power Armor. You needed a specific training to be able to use it. Now in Fallout 4, you, raiders and settlers seem to know how to use it. Is there a lore explanation on this?

@Arperum urcat isn't a black cat
(iirc)
@KevinvanderVelden Nope, neither of them isn't black.
@Arperum "isn't"
@KevinvanderVelden That's totally what I said.
Suuuure
Also now it makes sense. Me: "$a", You: "No, not not $a"
09:57
oh goddammit
some person at work just set their icon to codinghorror's
you can't do this to me
My brain is not in a weird language negation ploy thing mode. I can't even understand what we both said there. I have no black cats.
@Arperum which is what I said
And then you tried to say I was wrong and then I pointed out that I wasn't. So you edited it to negate it, making it so that you said they were black
@KevinvanderVelden I give up. You win. I'm trying to figure out how this project I'm thrown into works.
@Arperum if you didn't not have a black cat wouldn't you not dislike a cat that wasn't not white

Q: Terraria map explanation

user1754665I generated my Terraria map using MoreTerra and TerraMap and below is the image of the full map: From the left what I see is, Ocean, Forest, Dungeon, Forest, Snow, Forest, Desert and so on. However, I do not see Crimson or Corruption. Are those missing in my map or are they available after pro...

11:14
@badp So far no British carmakers implicated
Are there any british carmakers still alive?
Quite
Though probably most of them only started in britain rather then currently operate in britain
11:16
This is manufacturing, most of these companies are based elsewhere
see: Nissan
That Biden medal though
11:38
Assuming this was already posted but yolo
Well I can pre-order a switch in a few hours
GET HYPED
I need one for Zelda
but at least if I fail in that regard I can play it on Wii U
@Wipqozn it's what we said about WiiU 3+ years ago
funny how that (didn't) worked out...
12:18
@Chippies silly Nintendo
I'm not even sure if we're going to buy the new Zelda game if it does come out on the WiiU, because my wife and I are both PC gamers and it disappoints us to play a lesser version of a game. Although all that might change when it's actually released and there's reviews available...

Q: How do you find a cube to mine into with this smooth terrain?

Bar AkivaI want to mine a simple square hole into the ground so it will be easy to place ladders. But with this smooth terrain, I have to constantly reshape and adjust the mine shaft so I can place my ladder. How do these smooth voxels work?

On a semi-related-but-not-really note, I read that it's running pirated games on WiiU is becoming a thing, and with WiiU being officially out of production, we might just do that at some point... The Nintendo Switch isn't really something I want to spend money on, especially after buying the Wii-netflix-machine-U and having hardly any first party titles released, which was the main reason we even bought the system for...
That thing on Windows 10 where you can't move windows from one screen to another unless you're moving fast enough is the dumbest feature ever.
@StrixVaria I didn't know you could even move them without passing them halfway through and then grabbing them again on the other screen
but then again, I have hardly ever had a second monitor hooked up, so I haven't had much experience experimenting with it
12:24
That's new in this version of windows, you used to be able to go at whatever speed you wanted.
@StrixVaria by "this version" you mean Windows 10 vs previous versions or a certain update?
Windows 10 vs. previous versions
did it work in 8?
There's something to be said for it, it is now possible to expand windows to side where another monitor is
because 8 introduced the window snapping
12:25
And easily
You know, I can't be sure. I didn't actually have 2 monitors when I used 8.
@KevinvanderVelden I have never, ever wanted a window to snap to any part of the screen but the top.
I am pretty sure you can use win+left/right arrows to snap windows between monitors as well
win+left will snap it to left side of a monitor and if you do it again, it, I believe, will go to the right side of left monitor (if you have one on left)
@StrixVaria snapping to left/right is great on ultrawide :P
and by doing so, some software will actually make it so that if you snap something on the opposite side, it will size itself to only take up the available space, instead of exactly half
Or on regular wide
chrome does that
I can snap a chrome window to right, resize it to be narrowed than half and then snap another window on left and it will take up the remaining space
which is very useful on ultrawide for watching youtube videos while doing other stuff in another chrome window

Q: Does Nosgoth exist?

npstSo, there might or might not be a game called Nosgoth, it's a multiplayer F2P spin-off of the Legacy of Kain series. According to some sources, the game was never finished (Wiki says it's cancelled, Eurogamer reports the same, It's not on Steam) However, there's a collection on Humblebundle tha...

12:33
@StrixVaria you need to put some real effort in it!
Windows is still hostile to the Vertical Monitors Master Race :(
top half bottom half is the way to go
@badp in what way is it hostile?
@Chippies all of them
@badp you can do this with win+up/down
All those fancy splitting features? Don't work
they work on my ultrawide
12:36
@Chippies that would maximize and minimize the window
@Chippies no you can't, that's maximize/restore/minimize
useless, but they work
@Chippies is your ultrawide vertical?
@KevinvanderVelden it snaps first and then maximizes second
@KevinvanderVelden no
I don't see how it would matter though
@Chippies "thing doesn't work on vertical" "it works fine on my non-vertical"
=p
12:37
it works on my horizontal monitor, so why wouldn't it on vertical?
Because it doesn't?
Who knows why, it just doesn't
do the left/right snapping not work either?
it doesnt' make sense then
But that's useless because that's way too little pixels
And up/down snapping is not a thing
Doublecheck, it's maximize/restore
12:38
@KevinvanderVelden does it work on your horizontal?
@Chippies it doesn't work on my horizontal no
(i'm at work so no VMMR)
(sure, if it's snapped to left and you press win-up it has it in a quarter, that's not snapping vertically though)
uhh, lemme see how to record my screen with sharex...
okay, I see what the issue is
@KevinvanderVelden it only snaps as a quarter window, but you can manually resize it and snap to the side
That's not the same thing
yeah, it's not ideal, but I mean, it can be done
No it can't, snapping is one action. You can manually resize it to whatever you want but that's not snapping
12:43
you can snap as a quarter and then resize it horizontally to take up half of the top/bottom
@KevinvanderVelden if you resize it to touch the edge of monitor, it snaps to it
so it is the same as snapping
Except it's snapping and then resizing, which isn't snapping
@KevinvanderVelden it's not though
you're not manually resizing
you're showing windows which edge to snap
@Chippies I guess Windows doesn't do that on my laptop because there aren't enough vertical pixels
I'll have to try on my laptop at home
by pulling an edge of a window to the edge of the screen, it will snap to that edge
if you don't pull it to the edge, it will just resize it
You mean by moving to it?
12:45
@Chippies pls
@KevinvanderVelden by grabbing the edge as if you were going to resize, but dragging it all the way to edge
Because that snaps it to the left/right half of the screen, but resizing to it doesn't snap to the edge
it will actually snap
I'm trying it, no it doesn't
what does it do then?
12:46
It resizes it to whatever I've manually resized it to
are you two even running the same version of windows btw
@badp latest win10
insider or anniversary?
did you snap it to anywhere first?
I tried it both ways
Snapped and non snapped
12:47
it seems to be somewhat inconsistent in how it reacts...
Even if it did consistently work it doesn't change the fact that it is not the same as win+left/right =p
fair enough :P
weird that it's as inconsistent as it is
especially since it allows for quarter screen snaps
you'd think that top/bottom would be more beneficial than quarter...
btw, is it just me, or did Chrome at some point changed the "go back" shortcut from backspace to alt+backspace?
it's somewhat annoying
oh it's not even alt+backspace, it's alt+left
this article implies that vertical snapping is a thing, I didn't fully read it yet though
@Arperum it seems like an appropriate reason to use recursion but then again I'm not really and expert :p
As far as language goes I'm using C# and to be honest I don't know what you mean by functional language
@MadScientist so uh what's tail recursion? xD
and I also fixed the stackoverflow
@Chippies yes
@Chippies it does but suggests the win+up/down things that we've shown doesn't work =p
I'm not sure if the writers of that article are using a newer version or insider version of windows, but it doesn't seem to work the way they are saying it should
12:56
So it was probably a beta build that got changed or something? I 'unno
I don't see a date on the article either, so it's hard to say what's the deal
oh, there's a comment from oct 2014...
must be something that has changed since then, I guess
@Fluttershy I never finished the first one.
And X had a serious case of loose ends that they delighted in throwing at the player.
it seems like the best/only option for vertical users is to snap the window to a corner and then resize it to full width
