Q: Will Grand Archivist cast a targetable spell if there are no targets available?

If I play Grand Archivist and the only spell I have in my deck is Mind Control, and there are no enemy minions, then will the Mind Control still be cast at the end of the turn, and removed from my deck?

I don't seem to be able to switch teams or even select a team. I would like to play as Axis. Also, are all divisions only focused on allies?

Shooting games two people can play on the same console at the same time? Any games like that? Also online multiplayer? Thanks!

Folks

I'm sure you've probably experienced hot chocolate with 80 proof peppermint schnapps

But check this out

100

(also like high quality shit in addition to being 100)

Actually I lied standard appears to be 60

Per Hiram Walker brand stuff

If you have not experienced alcoholic peppermint hot chocolate I highly recommend

user15026

3:24 AM

aaaaaaaanooooooooooooooooo

user15026

I needed to get 150 kills in one mission to help unlock a hting

user15026

I got 147

user15026

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

i always knew @ash would snap one day and murder all the cows

seriously though, 147 is a LOT of kills

navy seal copypasta only has 300

user15026

3:27 AM

@GodEmperorDune but i needed 150!

user15026

but I do really love the Frost Prime warframe holy cow

what kind of game is warframe?

Q: What makes Overwatch a fun game?

Anyone have any personal opinions about the game? Why should I get it?

timely

@Lazers2.0 hue

super downboat

3:29 AM

@GodEmperorDune destiny'ish kind

if that means anything to you

user15026

@GodEmperorDune run around and kill the things?

@Chippies fps MMO?

it's a pve shooty game with lots of running and jumping around and loooots of grinding

user15026

although every now and then there is apparentyl FLYING missions and those are THE WORST TO EVER WORST

how close to tabula rasa?

3:30 AM

@GodEmperorDune more like dungeon crawler fps

actually, I think it has open world stuff now, so Idk much about that

I heard the open world stuff is good

Frank

@Lazers2.0 This is probably Sony Pony, I'm guessing.

@GodEmperorDune haven't played tabula rasa, but judging by screenshots - not very

@Chippies k

the gameplay in Warframe is quite fast paced

it's more of a shooter than an rpg

user15026

I have no idea what to compare it to because like....I've never really played much like it?

user15026

3:32 AM

(I don't do MMO stuff really ever)

@Chippies yeah tabula rasa was an FPS mmo

user15026

I am a space niunja with a gun and a sword and some cool ice powers

@Ash there aren't many games like Warframe afaik

like wow with guns

user15026

@GodEmperorDune nope

3:33 AM

Destiny is the closest one I can think of, in the idea of the game, but the gameplay is different

user15026

Not really

user15026

like I've played WoW, this is not really that

@Ash i meant tabula rasa

user15026

oooooh

user15026

okay

user15026

3:33 AM

I got lost and threaded wrong

it's ok, you're on a "killed 147 dudes" high

@GodEmperorDune it's all fine until you realize you have nowhere to hide 147 bodies...

user15026

@GodEmperorDune yeah but @worldengineer killed 303 or something

user15026

(he is much better at this than me and kinda carries me a lot when we play but we have fun, so its all good)

@Chippies you play?

user15026

3:36 AM

like I like Warframe, I have fun, but I'd be scared to play with anyone other than my husband because I am....not very good

@3ventic used to, but then they broke the game really bad with that ship update and it had tons of issues for like a month or so and I stopped playing around that time

ah

user15026

(and I'd never play any Archwing missions if I can help it because they're SO STUPID)

Archwing is stupid, everyone thinks so

@Ash i played call of duty with a dude that alternated between firing at the floor, running into a wall, and firing at the sky

he could not have gotten 147 kills

user15026

3:37 AM

@3ventic oh thank fuck that makes me feel so much better

@3ventic Did it become less stupid with that latest expansion?

With the big overworld

@Ash people generally don't care at all outside of the super endgame content and leveling hotspots

user15026

I just kinda run at things and SMASH THEIR FACES

goddamn, 21 gigs?

@Ash I used to solo everything and I hated the game, because it was too hard. Then I just started playing with random people and it was so much more fun and no one really cares how bad you are, as long as you can follow them

user15026

3:37 AM

(and when I manage to break someone into pieces I giggle a lot)

@RedRiderX in what way do you mean?

user15026

(I'mma bloodthirsty bean sometimes)

I've been playing too much warframe recently

@3ventic Can't you traverse the new world with an Archwing?

user15026

3:38 AM

@Chippies See I am just convinced you'd all be like hahahahahhaha you are terrble

The Squirrel Girl book has two full pages of squirrel names

@PrivatePansy wut

user15026

(although husband keeps telling me I am not, except for as an archwing but seriously that shit was so bad it made me cry)

@Ash just wait til i AFK when my daughter wakes up crying

user15026

(although part of that is depth perceptiooooooon issues)

3:39 AM

@RedRiderX yeah, but it doesn't handle very well and the archwing are made of paper (you get shot down pretty quickly if you stay still without invulnerability abilities)

@Ash I know, I am like that with all online games. One time I just went all like "whatever, I don't care what they think" and tried one game and no one cared if I was good or bad at the game

jeez fine, i'm dling it already

no one ever even talks in public games

are there roles? healer/dps/tank?

@GodEmperorDune everyone's a dps

user15026

3:40 AM

@Chippies I am not that brave yet, I'd love to play with some of you but I am like so used to being terrible and SOs I've played with pointing that out so I am just like hahahahaha okay nope not playing with people)

some do have support abilities, but for the most part, everyone's a dps

user15026

Also I find it so hard to aim with my gamepad so I like the run up and hit things

@Chippies it's about 50/50 to get a reply if you break the silence yourself

lol, they have a nice metacritic score

user15026

I am trying to get better with the shooting but it's tricky, I really notice my fine motor control issues in this game more than other stuff I've played

3:41 AM

@3ventic pfft, silence is great, it makes me feel like I"m playing with AI and feel less bad if I'm not doing great :P

user15026

(Also I kitted my warframe out in hot pink and black and it looks SO GOOD)

Fashion frame is the true end game

@Ash ah, I can't imagine playing warframe with a controller, because I have terrible aim with the sticks. Is there some aim assist to make it more bearable?

user15026

I am the prettiest ninja death space robot thing

user15026

@Chippies I don't know

3:42 AM

a lot of people prefer controllers for 3rd person shooters

user15026

I just cannot do KBM at all

user15026

so I make do with this

and I can see how it could make the movement easier

I would imagine there is, most fps games with controller as an option have aim assist

pretty sure there's aim assist

user15026

3:43 AM

(Because KBM is two different...textures, I guess is the easiest way to explain it.....I can't wrap my brains around moving my hands independently really well)

@3ventic and warframe is a great game for controller, due to how much you rely on running and jumping around

I just... can't aim... at all

I can't play with thumbsticks at all

my thumb can't even reliably click the side button on my mouse, let alone aim

@Ash I mean, your hands are moving independently with the gamepad as well, but I know what you mean :P

user15026

@Chippies yes but they are feeling the same thing sensation wise

user15026

whereas keyboard feels one sensation and mouse feels another and that's discordant

3:44 AM

there's a lot more keys on a keyboard as well, which can get confusing until you are super comfortable with the game's key layout

user15026

yeah, that makes it easier for my fingers to get lost

user15026

considering I sometimes have trouble remembering the controller button layout

on a gamepad you can be like "oh, I forgot what this button does... click oh, that's what it does"

on a keyboard half the keys don't do anything

so it's a hassle trying to remember which keys do do something

and then you also have to remember what they do

i use a fancy log roller mouse for RSI that is terrible to game with, so controller is much easier for me

user15026

@Chippies that is also why kbm trips me

user15026

3:46 AM

between that and the "this feels literally alien"

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I love love love my controller, I have been able to play SO MANY THINGS that I never thought would be accessible to me

Unionhawk

Slightly too drunk to completely own at Mario kart lol

@Ash which controller do you use?

I have a Logitech G600 mouse with a numpad on the side of it and I haven't touched my 1-6 keys on the keyboard since

user15026

@GodEmperorDune just an xbox 360 one

3:47 AM

@Ash same

Unionhawk

60-42-27 (I was 42) on the last series

i hope they never stop making them

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I don't know what I will do if they do.

user15026

I mean adapt, obviously, but y'know

user15026

Also you lot are making me feel better about my gaming ability

3:48 AM

@Ash i haven't tried an xbox one one

I had an Afterglow xbox 360 controller (3rd party) and it kinda sucked and I think it ruined my perception of the xbox 360 controllers in general

user15026

@GodEmperorDune me neither, because my 360 one works

I have a PS4 controller and i'ts amazing

@GodEmperorDune the regular xbox one controller feels very cheap, imho

@Ash gaming is about having fun. for some people that's topping leaderboards but leaderboards have never been my jam

user15026

@Chippies I find PS controllers weird but maybe that's because I haven't really played enough to map them in my brain yet

3:49 AM

a colleague brought in his xbox one and xbox one elite controllers and the elite feels solid, about the same quality as the PS4 controller, but the xbox one regular controller just felt really cheap

@Ash xbox 360 feels more natural in my hands than a ps

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I just always feel like you guys sound so actually pro much and I am like...Ronnie-style pro much :P

user15026

@GodEmperorDune yeah!

@Ash some peoples' hyperfocus is leaderboarding, if that makes sense

the great thing about the ps4 controller is that it's symmetrical

user15026

3:50 AM

@GodEmperorDune yes it does :)

its not representative of all gamers by far

user15026

I just forget not everyone will be like that

ugh this is like an hour download

user15026

I mean also like...since LDR/LDMarriage stuff, I also tend to spend most of my gaming time with my husband because it's a more interactive thing we can do than just talking at each other

@GodEmperorDune It is a mmo

user15026

3:52 AM

so I don't really tend to consider playing with others much

user15026

(I guess long distance marriage is still an LDR but it feels weird saying LDR for some reason)

I've been hardly on my PC at all for the last 3 weeks or so... We bought a PS4 on black friday and between my wife and I, we've put around 200 hours into the Kingdom Hearts series

user15026

@Chippies I should get back to KH someday but last I checked i had killed my PS2 controllers

my wife gets hardcore grindy when she loves a game, it's scary

user15026

(Husband was going to play KH1 for me to watch when he was here but controllers were a sadness mess)

3:53 AM

@Ash if you somehow get your hands on a PS4, they have all of the games on 2 disks and they are remade with better graphics and runs at 60 fps for super fluid combat

it's gorgeous

user15026

@Chippies that would be nice someday but if I get anything new console wise anytime soon it would be a Switch but that's not likely because moneyt

we paid 20$ for each disk and it was totally worth it

honestly, we're semi-thinking about selling the Switch

user15026

Unless I have more change than I think in my RD bank but I don't think I do because it's not even up to her head yet

there's like, literally no games on it that we are looking forward to

we have BotW, MK8D (which we already had on WiiU) and Mario Oddyssey

and there's nothing else announced that we care about

user15026

Ah, fair enough

3:55 AM

unfortunately, around here, second hand stuff loses it's value really badly

so we'll probably keep it until whatever next thing is released and trade it in, or something

we've had the PS4 for less than a month and wife already thinks it's her favorite console of all time (mainly due to KH series) and she's been a hardcore nintendo fan since being a child

and the games on Switch (Nintendo consoles in general) are sooo expensive and they never go on sale

user15026

Ah, fair enough

even the indies are like 10$ more than they would be on any other console

user15026

There's enough coming out or that has come out for it that I would play

user15026

and because its sorta portable,that is also good for me

user15026

(because of my weird thing about consoles)

3:58 AM

@Ash yeah, that's the best part

we used Switch mostly docked and as a TV console it's kinda sucky

and the controllers would ruin your day, if you get the day-one controllers like we do

yeah steam sales have ruined consoles for me

the left controller is always desynching

it's impossible to play without getting frustrated

as a handheld - Switch is amazing

but for TV use it's a miserable experience

user15026

@Chippies most of what I can handle is handheld

unless you have the new controllers, then it's okay

user15026

I don't know why I can handle playing inifinite sutff in my bed on a handheld and like not the same things sitting up in a chair but there you have it

4:01 AM

@Ash could be your chair

also, I find I get tired more playing on TV, because of the distance

user15026

@Chippies nope, this is universal to any sitting thing

@Ash its the sitting up, in my experience

@Ash well, that's what I mean :P

user15026

I can't tell if it is the sitting thing or the screen thing or my eyes or my depth perception or just being a weird fucked up cookie

i know when i game all day my back is killing me at the end

and i have a very fancy chair

4:02 AM

I got a "fancy" gaming chair few weeks ago and I can lean back in it so far, I'm practically lying down

and I can play games for hours with controller now

unfortunately, I can't reach keyboard if I lean that far

user15026

(sorry, getting frustrated at my limitations)

user15026

Like....okay, so here's some vulnerable honesty because why the hell not

user15026

I want a Switch because it means I can play "real" games in a way that is actually possible

user15026

which is lame and dumb and frustrating but that's why

user15026

because they're not coming out with a lot of 3DS stuff anymore

user15026

4:04 AM

and the 3DS is like...fuck, I am so good with it

I find I am half as good at playing on TV if I'm further from the TV than my feet can reach, it almost feels like there's some delay with my eyes after a certain distance

user15026

and I am scared I won't get to be a gamer anymore

user15026

BRAINS ARE DUMB ITS ALL DUMB

@Ash all games are real, it's just that a lot of gamers have this elitist attitude that is hard to get rid of

@Ash switch is also cheaper than a fancy tablet that would be good enough to play PC games

4:05 AM

but I know what you mean

@Chippies mobile games tend to have a super cramped interface for me

Switch is doing pretty good with games, if it's your main gaming device

user15026

@Chippies oh, I know, my capped out GPG level is proof of that

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Yes also this

as a PC gamer, Switch doesn't have enough exclusives that I care about for me

4:06 AM

anyway @ash i think that is 100% a valid thing to want, even if its spider driven

user15026

and it has things that I want to play like Odyssey (fuck that word is hard) and that thing with the elephants and Yooka Laylee and the Bayonetta stuff and just yes

user15026

@GodEmperorDune thanks :)

@Ash i enjoyed yooka laylee but some parts of it are really damn hard

user15026

I'll get there, just gotta keep saving my pennies (wait no this is Canada, saving my nickels)

like fuck the minigames and minecart

4:08 AM

hopefully, Nintendo gets sensible and lowers the price of Switch at some point

at 400$ it's more expensive than the PS4 Pro bundled with a game

@Chippies i hope so

but it's nintendo, so they can afford having the most expensive console on the market

people still buy them like hot cakes

user15026

Also this looks cute as fuck: nintendo.com/games/detail/yokus-island-express-switch

user15026

@Chippies I'd like that

i've found that there are enough PC games that keep me busy enough to not miss the nintendo exclusives too much

4:10 AM

somehow I can't justify paying 80$ for a game on PC, but on a console it's easier

different expectations of prices

@Chippies $80 o.0

we've been super lucky with the whole Switch thing - we have hardly paid anything for the Switch and the 3 games we have for it, because of the insane trade-in deals we got

@GodEmperorDune CAD

oh

you also have to pay 15% tax on console games, but not on PC

unless it's like, MS Store games or something

user15026

(thanks for letting me ramble like a silly broken thing :P)

4:12 AM

then you have to pay tax on those on PC as well

@Ash (not silly, not broken, but no problem)

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 looks fun, but 80$ for a game is a lot of money, when we can get exclusives on PS4 for 20-40$ and even cheaper games on PC

I don't understand why Nintendo games never go on sale

@Chippies because people will pay it

@GodEmperorDune but... ugh

I feel like it's making it so fewer people are going to buy their games

same reason why companies release regular, premium, and ultra versions of games at release now

4:16 AM

@GodEmperorDune at least you can choose the cut-down version if you want

and why DLC has only gotten worse, including goddamn season passes that don't cover all the DLC

it's extremely rare that I buy games on release day, because of how expensive it is to get the full package on release

Xenoblade 2 : JRPG Chronicles

►

you have to buy the ultimate edition, usually and then you might not even get everything

and ultimate editions are like 130$ CAD

Relevant dunkey video

4:17 AM

yeah, eff all that

@quartata a Nintendo game with overly long unskippable tutorials? No way!

user15026

YES IT IS IT IS JUST 6DAYS

user15026

.....thank you air canada for making me flail so hard my phone went flying

\o/

user15026

4:23 AM

.........what the fuck is a "gaming router"

@Ash probably something with QoS that prioritizes game services or something

kinda like the gaming network cards

user15026

@Chippies that would make sense yeah

user15026

it just sounds silly to me because couldn't you make any router do that

user15026

but I guess this cuts out the having to know how to do that junk

@Ash I mean, you could, but that one's pre-done :P

user15026

4:24 AM

....fuck, I know how to do that shit and that's why I am being a slightly elitist silybean

@Ash depends on the firmware

it might even have lower wifi latency than regular routers

or it could just be buzzwords

user15026

(sometimes I think I don't know things and then I know them)

some of the stuff ISPs hand out is locked down so that you can't

@Ash tbh QoS is pretty confusing, I could probably figure it out with some time and internet help, but eh

user15026

4:25 AM

ah, yeah, it's got prioritization stuff built in

user15026

@Chippies I had to learn it for work stuff

I tried setting QoS up once and I think I messed up everything and I just reset everything back and never touched it again

yeah i'm pretty sure i QoSed wrong and messed up the first network i did

user15026

.....wait really

user15026

sorry

4:26 AM

so the next time i just disabled it

user15026

I am just like so used to being a potato

user15026

that I am not a potato

I don't think my ISP router has QoS settings available

user15026

and I am like baffled at my non-potatoness

user15026

like I am just so used to the Bridge knowing more about literally all the tech things than me

user15026

4:27 AM

sorry

@Ash it's sometimes hard to realize that the things you know aren't common knowledge :P

user15026

@Chippies it just you all are so SMART and shit

@Ash heh, this is literally me

@Ash you work at an ISP and do these arcane network things daily

user15026

and I am used to being the like nontechie techie bridge potato

user15026

4:28 AM

@GodEmperorDune because this is all i've ever touched i didn't realize it was arcane

@Ash yet you're the one with the A+ (or w/e that fancy certificate was called) and work an actual techy job :P

user15026

@Chippies hahaha I actually don't have that

user15026

I got mad when they switched cert tests and refused to keep going with it

@Ash didn't you get that? or you just studied for it, but never actually done the test?

user15026

and now I don't really care

4:29 AM

@Ash ahh I see

well, if your job doesn't require it and you're not trying to apply for one that does, then why bother, right?

@Ash for future reference, it is, lol

it's not like you can do it once and keep it forever anyway

user15026

if anything I'm going to do what I really like and get teh Network+ and Security+ and do that stuff becuase it is more funner than poking inside computers

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I will write that down

user15026

I like playing with network stuff

user15026

4:30 AM

it's funnnnnnnn

@Ash you can write down that you are the arcane network wizard :P

low level networking stuff is totally an arcane skillset

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I don't do like a lot of super low level stuff but I am slowly getting to more of that

@Ash network stuff is confusing and scary

user15026

@Chippies nah, it's not that bad, it's just like....setting up a post office.

4:31 AM

I'm pretty comfortable with a lot of techy stuff, but networking just baffles my mind

user15026

like it's just showing things where to go!

@Ash even things like setting up LANs properly

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I can do that!

@Ash not sure if you realize this, but companies pay big bucks for that

user15026

(I have told my husband when we have a place where we have network control I'mma gonna set it up the most pretty)

4:32 AM

like network engineer is a thing

user15026

@GodEmperorDune wait, what do you mean by setting up LANs

user15026

like chaining things so they all talk nice?

おめでとうございます！

Tweeted by himaraya on December 14, 2017 at 12:18 PM

I wish my house had ethernet cables wired in all the walls, would make me so much happier

@Ash like i have a server farm and i need to keep these servers separate because security but also make things a tiny bit accessible so everything works

user15026

4:33 AM

@GodEmperorDune oh, okay, I am getting better at that

The VAs of Anna (Hairbow-chan) and Sasahara are getting married cc @Ave

user15026

like setting up ports and junk and static IP assignment stuff and whatever

like i have only the most basic understanding of LANs and VLANs and such

user15026

mostly because farmers and their security cameras and chicken robots and cow robots

firewall rules, setting up routers and subnets

i dunno if i am even explaining it right

user15026

4:34 AM

@GodEmperorDune I know these things!

user15026

seriously farmers are serious about their robots and the internet and monitoring and such

I'm am so good at setting up firewalls, I turn them off and everything works great. That's how you're supposed to do it, right?

well keep it in mind that maybe you can apply for junior network engineer and go in that direction in your career

user15026

(I remember having to chase a device through a 7 barn network because there was one camera that was part of a botnet and we had to figure out where it was - although part of that was literally having the guy drive around and unplug things)

user15026

@Chippies grins why not

user15026

4:36 AM

@GodEmperorDune I figure if I get my Network+ I can maybe do that

@Ash try it even without it

@Ash the beauty of being one totally unimportant person on the internet without anyone trying to get you :P Security is kinda not super important

user15026

@Chippies yeah, for sure :)

user15026

I mean at home my current netsec is a mess but that's due to not being able to access the router physically and barely being able to touch it remotely and all that fun junk

user15026

once I can actually set things up how I like, though, it will be good

4:38 AM

if you learn how to set up networks with the security stuff intact that is definitely a marketable skill

user15026

I mean I did have the dual router repeater thing for a while but when the one router died I was too lazy to really bother setting it up because, well.

user15026

I'mma lazy

what are your names on warframe?

/me looks to expand his friend list

user15026

I'm Araleith there, as I am most internet places :)

that is a very black and pink frost

4:42 AM

I should download Warframe as well, at least see what the new updates are like...

user15026

@3ventic isn't it pretty? :D

Yes!

user15026

so I am reading about MU-MIMO because reasons and this paragraph is making me giggle:
