TIL it's pronounced "ark-wing", not "arch-wing"

Although I like the latter better, so I'm going to keep using that

Also yay, Mars junction!

Now to complete the archwing, complete the archwing mission on Earth, and deploy the extractor

Yuuki

food time

@TimStone It’s not enough to want someone dead, you have to enjoy it. Judging by the last panel, I dunno.

what to food...

@Gallifreyan ...never even thought of that o.o

Gallifreyan

That's how the Lotus pronounced it

3ventic

6:16 PM

yeah I've always said it like "ark-wing"

cazc_941

Keyboard Sports - Saving QWERTY - Announcement Trailer

oh it's one of the ones published by humble bundle

neat

StrixVaria

@cazc_941 This looks so bad.

cazc_941

It just looks silly

Unionhawk

Your face looks so bad

StrixVaria

The way that that controls just looks impossible to me.

cazc_941

6:21 PM

I guess you just press the key and the guy runs there

Unionhawk

Keyboard Sports with Benntt Foddy

StrixVaria

That is also what I assumed.

cazc_941

it's on fig backstage atm

Unionhawk

lol

cazc_941

fig.co/campaigns/what-the-golf

apply for yourselves if you care

It also just looks silly though

the kind of thing I'd play for five minutes and then never again

StrixVaria

6:22 PM

Silly isn't inherently bad.

cazc_941

But it would be enjoyable

StrixVaria

But yeah it does usually imply that it'll be short-lived.

Unionhawk

isn't fig like, what if kickstarter but more like an investment?

StrixVaria

@Unionhawk Yeah, you can back like on kickstarter but you can also "invest" in hopes of getting a return.

cazc_941

Yeah pretty much

Unionhawk

6:22 PM

neat

cazc_941

It's also much more curated than kickstarter I think

StrixVaria

The only fig campaign I paid any attention to was a trainwreck and the max ROI was like 80%.

cazc_941

Haven't seen a project on there that looked terrible yet

The fig campaign that I am most interested in is Outer Wilds and I still don't think they're ever going to make it

my dad and I played the original student game for hours

StrixVaria

Meaning that you might not make any ROI, and that if it did well enough that you actually got stuff back it capped at 80%.

cazc_941

@StrixVaria lol that's less than 100

StrixVaria

6:24 PM

@cazc_941 80% on top of your investment.

cazc_941

oh okay

I missed the campaign so I couldn't back it... sad about that

but whatever as long as they finish it

Outer Wilds Vertical Slice Space Walk

StrixVaria

Fantasy Strike is still doing updates, but I haven't played much since the Fig campaign failed.

cazc_941

@StrixVaria Yeah I'm just gonna sit on that one

badp

W h a r r g a r b l

Unionhawk

same

cazc_941

6:26 PM

I love how you can shoot a probe in outer wilds and take pictures from it to see what's around, up ahead, or where you shoot it

badp

So are you still writing C# for uni projects as a vice subintern in trial?

Pun only intended in post

Unionhawk

I'm writing C# for enterprise desktop applications as a vice sub jr developer

StrixVaria

> Outer Wilds is a first-person space exploration game where you uncover the mysteries of a solar system stuck in an endless time loop. Blast off into a fully physically simulated cosmos and seamlessly journey from one planet to the next as you search for the answers hidden in the unknown.

Equal parts Myst, Kerbal Space Program, and Majora's Mask, Outer Wilds puts you in the cockpit of a fledgling space program searching for the secrets of a wild, constantly changing solar system. Strap on your hiking boots, check your oxygen levels, and get ready to venture into space.

Unionhawk

I hope to attain regular jr developer status as soon as possible

StrixVaria

That sounds really cool.

Unionhawk

6:27 PM

which will probably be Q2

badp

@Unionhawk rocking like it's 2001! Which is like ten years after what we're dealing with

cazc_941

@StrixVaria If you are at all interested I highly recommend the original concept game. It's free

I found so much secret shit in that game, it was really impressive

The universe explodes after ten minutes but you can just replay it

StrixVaria

@cazc_941 Like Narbacular Drop for Portal?

cazc_941

There's a planet which is like a big hourglass, and the sand flows from one planet to the other over the course of the system life so you have to go there first if you want to get into some of the caves before they fill up with sand

badp

Who's dealing with the true serverless halfSQL nanokernel goodness nowadays

cazc_941

6:29 PM

@StrixVaria yeah!

StrixVaria

@cazc_941 Ok that's kind of neat, you have to play it multiple times to learn where to go and what to do and what order to do it in?

Maximillian

@Unionhawk When your code complies successfully do you have to hold a page over your head, Zelda style?

Unionhawk

no

cazc_941

@StrixVaria There isn't really a goal in the student game other than to find secrets and try to learn about stuff but yeah pretty much. you don't have time to go everywhere. There are clues on some planets that tell you how to make progress on other planets, etc

@StrixVaria mobiusdigitalgames.com/outer-wilds.html

Unionhawk

It's like rupees in TP

The first time it compiles is worth celebration

cazc_941

6:30 PM

They won IGF with their 'demo'

Unionhawk

after that nah

badp

True pacifist?

Unionhawk

I just took a second to consider if pacifist twilight princess is possible (it isn't you need to perform a finishing blow to ganondorf to end the game)

cazc_941

You have a 'telescope' that you can point anywhere to pick up sounds from across the system

badp

@Unionhawk so it's like waiting for a minute to open that chest and every single time a rupoor comes out?

Unionhawk

6:33 PM

@badp I hate both the mechanic and the name of negative rupees in every game they appear

rats stealing my money in WW is decent, picking up a thing that suddenly "SUDDENLY -50 BECAUSE MAGIC" is stupid

cazc_941

@StrixVaria If you decide to play it, don't watch videos of it beforehand

StrixVaria

@cazc_941 Ok.

What's the name of the original prototype, is that the alpha demo?

cazc_941

yeah

It has a lot in it though

badp

@Unionhawk dun dun dun dun dun dun Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUN— it's student deeeeeeebt! (rupees tick down)

cazc_941

Not sure how it played with kbd mouse, I used a controller

Unionhawk

6:35 PM

LINK DOESN'T PAY BILLS HE HAS A SWORD TO NEGOTIATE WITH

cazc_941

My dad played it a lot too, so it's pretty easy to play

badp

@Unionhawk how did he get his sword

Unionhawk

Depends on the game or the sword

but mostly he Found It

badp

The first sword in the first game is essentially heredity, so you gotta pay tax on it

Unionhawk

or a kind old man gave it to him

badp

6:37 PM

but he just ran for it

cazc_941

still no release date, sadly

badp

So now you gotta pay interest on the fine on the tax

forever.

cazc_941

The first time you play, you have to explore the home planet, and find launch codes for your ship. After that you can just enter them right away in subsequent plays and take off

badp

ENRICH THE PATRIARCH

The patriarch will someday be you*

Unionhawk

Link is a socialist anarchist and doesn't abide by your rules (no uni link is an agent of the monarchy lol)

badp

6:38 PM

(*terms and conditions apply)

@Unionhawk Link is at BEST neutral good

Unionhawk

yeah

badp

and that's already a stretch

Now find you a Wario that can do both

SaintWacko

@badp Neutral?

Link is definitely Chaotic

And somewhere between Good an Neutral

Q: How can I get WorldEdit on my MCPE world

I've tried for years now to get WorldEdit on one of my Minecraft worlds and it just doesn't work. I can't find anything to install world edit and I would like to know how to.

cazc_941

6:47 PM

Ugh I really need a new controller

huh, this version is different from last time I played it

aw what you can't even go to all the planets now?

They made some of them 'unavailable' in the demo
