« first day (2809 days earlier)      last day (2236 days later) » 

12:02 AM
just encountered my first invisible wall in NITW, so disappointed
obviously this is the work of big pharma
(i don't see why a game that freely lets you climb on any power line you want would have invisible walls on the roofs of buildings)
 
Which building and where are you
It opens up a lot more in part 3 iirc
 
oh I was just trying to get on top of the snack falcon
it should have been a clean triple jump, but there's definitely an invisible wall along the sides of the roof
also these bass minigames are going to test my perfectionism
I got through pretty much all of it but then made a mistake at the end and now I have to resist reloading

Q: How do you open the blue chests?

musefanI am only 3-4 hours in and have so far come across a few blue chest which are locked with no obvious means to open them. I beleive I have only seen these on the overworld so far, but there may be some in the dungeons too. How do you unlock these blue chests?

Q: Do the sliders in the Tactic Tweaker negatively effect the opposite effect?

musefanConfusing title, but not sure how best to word it. Basically, in the Tactic Tweaker there are 2 setting areas that use sliders which allow you to prioritise one effect over another. The two areas are "Monster Affinities" and "Elements and Ailments". My question is: if I move a slider towards o...

 
12:58 AM
@quartata ah yeah there are boxes and an invisible wall above them there until part 3
Then you get access to the roof door even
 
well they should have made the boxes bigger to discourage me
ah well
 
Everywhere you can get to now pretty much is the core of interesting
I think there's a couple things up off roof door though
But like, roof cat, Lori M., and one other important room are on the first town screen roofs
 
yeah it seems like I picked the one roof you can't get on to start with
oh wow
when you go through a level transition on a power line
it starts you off on the next power line in that level
I don't know if it's just because they're at the same y-coordinate or what
why is it that of all the things in this game the power lines is what I'm enjoying the most
last note: I find it odd there's even an option not to eat tacos
 
1:16 AM
It's faster
You skip... I think 2 boxes later
 
so it's for the speedrunners then
the true completionist knows the game isn't over until you've eaten everything
it's like a food crawl, but in spirit
 
I picked it initially because I thought dinner and party were mutually exclusive
 
with tacos
 
Gotta snack/snake it up
 
Ave
best game.
 
1:18 AM
oh heck
leaked footage of the beta SNES version
 
mae is crippling amounts of self-consciousness
 
Yeah
lol
 
why can I only talk to The Trolls and not the people who look like they actually want people to talk to them
this party is a conspiracy
at least it'll let me get extra wasted before talking to "Clean" Cole the obvious deep state plant
nightmare mae eyes are actually a little terrifying tbh
looks like you can kinda hover by repeatedly swinging the bat in this dream
wonder if that will ever be useful
you can still move forward
seems too hard for RTA, although I'm using a bad keyboard which makes mashing harder
 
1:37 AM
Honestly Durkillesburg is a great song too
 
ok they thought of this and made it so that it restores your y-acceleration after the swing ends
means you can only get about 3 swings in before you start falling again
so completely useless
@Unionhawk yeah the aesthetics of the dream sections are awesome, I love the sound design
 
@quartata Yeah swinging in the air is v slow too
 
oh I didn't notice it was slower
 
It's like half at best
 
wait are the cops really after me for climbing on the power lines
....
I suppose that's a stupid question
so here's the stupid answer: i'mma keep doing it
 
1:45 AM
Not afaik
 
oh so it's just a scare tactic
pls
 
There's like one unskippable interaction where Officer Barbrady will call you down
 
besides they wouldn't have such aesthetically pleasing guitar notes if they didn't want you to jump on them
that's how like
life
works, right?
 
This is true
 
"my heart is a dankness / but when I see you I feel a thankness"
dank
dropping fat verses on someone who's standing on a power line
 
1:52 AM
Selmers owns
I'm sad we don't get to hear her in the run more
 
not exactly sure how finding the dusk stars works
the sinusoid thing around the center of the telescope is going apeshit
 
Look around, the circles in the middle will let you know when you get close, then look for a faint large star in the region
 
oh there we go
I had my brightness down so couldn't see it even though I was like staring directly at it
aw hell yeah dude it's the one with the decapitated mouse
cat thug life
these are some pretty varied minigames to be honest, didn't know about any of these going in
 
There are so many of these little things
 
looks like it specifically has a special case for going through that one power line that crosses the level transition
since jumping into it from off the roof starts you on the ground anyways
cool stuff
rip mallard
 
2:04 AM
It deserves every bit of the IGF grand prize it won at GDC
 
how do I feed these rats
 
And the excellence in narrative
 
or do I feed them with thoughts and prayers
 
@quartata pretzel
 
I feel guilty because Mae mentioned that they looked hungry or something
and I'm sitting over here eating a giant piece of cake
can I smoosh the cake through the screen pls
 
2:05 AM
It's dinosaur rules but you only get one try per day
 
oh I need to steal them?
all right that'll be good practice for the actually required stealing stuff later
 
I mean you can do Crimes instead of Mall and never shoplift in a given run
(crimes is slow or risky vs mall for the speedrun)
 
inb4 game theory posts a video about mae having parkinson's
all right fed, thanks (would never have connected the pretzel to them)
 
So a leftist discord I'm in has a channel called #nice-town, where we post about a nice town in a nice future and it's nice
 
ok so I think I'm going to have to go with crimes because that's the one with smash capitalism right
I have to experience that for myself
 
2:20 AM
Mechanics, day 2, is smash capitalism
Not day 2 but activity 2
 
can I still do that if I go mall on the first time?
like it's weird to pick and choose these but
 
Yes, you can pick Bea or Gregg for each of the first 3 activities
Crimes/Mall, Mechanics/House Call, I forget/Dinner
You're locked into legends/proximity based on idk it's either 2/3 or which one you picked on the third
 
well I've seen you do mall about 10 trillion times so I guess I'll try crimes
 
So you need 2 runs to see both story paths anyway
 
yeah, and to pick up some of these achievements I've already missed
I can't remember whether I ate a full slice of pizza, I think I only ate a crust but
 
2:30 AM
I think full is faster but I didn't count properly and apparently it saves after pizza so I need to backup a save earlier to test
I should change ownership on those that's my real name account hmm
 
you know let's put smashing capitalism aside for a moment
I think gregg might actually have the right idea with smashing gravity
electromagnetism is way better anyways
 
3:09 AM
Yeah that... Is why I don't think crimes will ever be in the run unless maybe if you first try that bit lol
 
3:22 AM
Even then
It is soooo slow

Q: How do I unlock Play + mode?

Steven VascellaroOn the main menu of Thumper, there is a grayed out option for a “Play +” mode. Apparently this is a more difficult “director’s cut” permadeath option which was added in a free update. How do I unlock Play + mode? Do I need to beat the game first?

Q: how to Film from a Nintendo DSi

Cursedsimilar, but link is for DS not DSi My first search found this but half of the links no longer exist or are out of stock and then the rest don't appear to support DSi. To clarify, I am not looking to use the DSi as a video camera - I wish to get high quality audio and video output from DSi game...

 
user15026
wow, I forgot the DSi was a thing

I had one, it was the this awesome shade of teal
 
I have one for reasons
I keep meaning to sell it

user15026
Why not just embrace your cat-hat?
 
4:05 PM
I like how they remembered to give the mime a thought bubble instead of a speech bubble.
 
@Ash yeah, they're the equivalent of shoes for your hands
 
handsocke

tbh
 
Considering the early versions of both were probably essentially made out of the same kind of leather

@KevinvanderVelden exactly!@
 
@KevinvanderVelden I mean ye it depends
Cotton gloves: handsocke.

@ToxicFrog laughs
 
@ME Ok Alex let's go to the nice safe forest outside the city and-
@ALEX Let's go to the mountain!
@ME The mountain two weeks of bandit-infested roads away, which is itself crawling with packs of monsters, any one of which is more than a match for our entire party?
@ALEX Yes!

Hello from my new install
Everything appears to have gone more-or-less as it should
though I had to battle Grub a bit
 
@ToxicFrog That was one of their first ones.
And one of the few I haven't played.
 
Now I have to start reinstalling things, figure out why my cursor speed feels off, and figure out why on earth the default font is so terrible
 
user15026
Well, I am glad you made it through the other side
 
@Frank the first one.
And I'm playing it now because the Atelier Marie+Elie fan-translation was just released.
So if you have a modded PS2, or a machine that can run PCSX2, now is a good time to play it!
@Ash I may end up keeping two save files, one for the game proper and one for Alex's perpetual mountaintime deathventure
 
user15026
@ToxicFrog This might not be a bad idea
 
8:01 PM
@ToxicFrog I...have a modded PS3.
 
@Frank if it's a phat3 with ps2 compatibility, that might work! No idea if they tested it on a PS3.
 
These are really pretty bolts and I probably shouldn't buy a bunch to put on my PC case
 
@ToxicFrog It definitely is.
I'd have to unearth it and hook it up, though. :\
 
Ave
@KevinvanderVelden oh god these are super amazing
 
Hmm? Best Buy also doesn’t have Bayonetta 2.
 
8:13 PM
@Ash thanks :)
 
@Ave they're pretty! And they're detailed! And they're 22 dollars per 6
 
@KevinvanderVelden Ouchie
 
And that's from china
So I don't even want to know how much they'd cost from a real store
 
Ave
@KevinvanderVelden oh god
that's way too expensive
but they're so pretty
 
That's basically where I'm at currently
 
user15026
8:19 PM
They're pretty but I don't know they're that much money pretty
 
The price comes mostly from the fact that they're titanium
 
Ave

Titanium can be oxidezed in cool colors
Er, anodized
 
8:32 PM
lol overwatch is reintroducing an avoid player feature but only for teammates
 
tbf teammates are the ones you voice chat with by default
 
It also warns players with high numbers of avoids, and Jeff, "we think the behavior will correct itself pretty quickly as this segment of players experiences long queue times"
 
is that Mr. Atwood
 
yeah, I don't really see a problem with that at a glance
 
@badp it is Jeff from the overwatch team
 
8:34 PM
is that Mr. Atwood
 
@John at one point they had a avoid for all players, but what happened is people ended up avoid one particular good player, and the matchmaker struggled with them, and eventually placed them in unbalanced matches
There was like, one really good widow player or something
 
@badp yes
we're pretty sure
 
@Unionhawk I'm familiar with this, but seems like the teammates-only thing should help?
 
Yeah
It's also limited to 2 players at a time for now
 
Will that not cause the same problem but with bad (but nice) players?
 
8:37 PM
Old system has the good person being avoided and having trouble, new system has the person excessively avoiding people having the trouble
@Unionhawk oh well in that case
 
@Ronan I think this is part of why it's 2 at a time expiring after 7 days
 
I should make bacon pancakes
Because I can
And it is way past time for food
 
@Unionhawk I guess also if you're way better than them you won't get matched anyway
 
Like it's very limited but it'll at least get you out of the immediate queue with a particular player for a bit
 
I should probably also put on some kind of pants before making bacon
 
8:40 PM
So basically a "don't queue me with this player next game" button
a lot of games could benefit from that button
 
My main use case is like the dude in ranked who only picks symmetra lol
 
is that because they're sniping symmetra out of you
 
9:06 PM
Symmetra mains usually fuck shit up in my experience
Also I love Brigitte. I already bought ironclad and some other stuff for her
She's a weird role, not quite a solo tank, not quite a solo healer, but good in most teams imo
Also stunning Reinhardt with shield bash is a bit op
Killing pharah with whip shot is super satisfying
@Unionhawk sounds good
Brigitte also seems to counter Reaper
But pharah messes her up. Someone else too but I can't remember now
Symmetra maybe
Also I think she might be the first character with voice lines for facing specific characters contextually
Like if you break a torb turret she says "sorry papa!"
And if you stun Reinhardt she goes 'not today Reinhardt!'
Cool stuff. Touches like that really make overwatch the game it is
@Unionhawk I only ever really need it per play session anyway
My friend and I were playing with a guy and his girlfriend the other night and she was really new and just pocketing him as mercy so we basically didn't have a healer lol. They were nice people we chatted with them but we played with them like four times and lost every game
Somebody else talk
😱
@Unionhawk unless the problem is just being not very skilled
Although with only two avoids probably most people will save them for toxic players
@Unionhawk oh, inb4d
 
9:32 PM
Oh. Doomfist. Doomfist wrecks Brigitte
 
9:44 PM
@GnomeSlice Definitely not the first one, but yeah, I love those little details
 
@SaintWacko during gameplay though? Oh yeah soldier says something when he kills reaper sometimes... You're right
 
@GnomeSlice Roadhog/Junkrat, Ana/Pharah...
 
Ana's is pretty specific
Something like, sleep dart while barrage is happening

They're good "You should go to bed" warnings
I also like them when I stayed up to insane-am to do raiding and it was like "You're wake up in 4 hours"
I disagree-ed
 
they're not very applicable for weekends, yes
