What does the bell item do in Goof Troop for SNES? I've come across it a few times and can't figure out what it does. I can use the action button to ring the bell, but that doesn't seem to do anything.

Is minecraft not free, and how can I play overwatch for free

are there some free days in the near future

@samjoe you right, Minecraft isn't free. as for Overwatch it's never been a subscription thing to my understanding, you just pay for the game once (atleast for console)

@Memor-X Overwatch does have free weekends though

@ASCII-only yeh but that's for getting the game right?

@Memor-X well you don't have to get the game to play on free weekends

@ASCII-only that makes no sense. how do you not get the game to play it on a free weekend?

4:35 AM

@Memor-X *you don't have to buy the game

@TimStone I did dumber stuff for memes so

sure!

@ASCII-only yeh, so when asked "and how can I play overwatch for free" to me that suggests that it's assumed that you pay-to-play like a subscription model

@Memor-X huh really

@Memor-X what actually happens is that for some games you can play it for free for a while. after that you have to buy it to keep playing

@ASCII-only yeh, or maybe i read to much into it and it actually was meant to say "get overwatch for free"

@ASCII-only is that overwatch though? cause i know that's what WoW does

yes, source: have done that before

my laptop couldn't play it so i didn't get it

4:39 AM

@Memor-X Yeah its pay once, around 60 usd i guess.

40usd I think

hmm, anyone plays here

will the real overwatch player please stand up?

sits down

doesn't run well on wine

You are on linux

at least when combined with a crappy gpu

yes

4:42 AM

A gamer on linux :o

I heard games don't go well with that

Wine is pretty good and can run a lot of games pretty well

(probably because she's using Arch Linux, the Linux for Yuris and thus is better)

she

I cant even handle ubuntu

Tell me what games do you guys play a lot

I like having control, and archlinux gives me a lot of it.

~~warframe~~ actually i haven't been playing games a lot recently

4:46 AM

@samjoe me, JRPGs. been playing .hack//G.U Last Recode lately

:)

Hah thats cute, I haven't played game since last 3 years.

apparently I last played factorio on 13th of April

a lot of people here play factorio

is it some stategic game

it has some strategy, some building...

4:49 AM

@Ave do we need a steam account, is it free (the account) , and are any steam games free

store.steampowered.com/app/427520/Factorio

@samjoe yes, you need a steam account if you want ot play on steam (but you can buy factorio on their site or on gog), account is free, there are free games on steam

user15026

@ASCII-only Warframe is like the only thing I have been playing lately

warframe is the best

except i'm terrible at it

@Ave and looks like everyone missed out on the "special"

what do we do in warframe game

4:51 AM

when you still haven't managed to take the arcane codices

@samjoe you bullet jump

@Memor-X wdym

has anyone here played max payne type of games

@Ave this. i should have said "everyone who didn't get the game already"

ah

there's some people here did buy it before the price increase I think

I did, at least.

a lot of people on PPCG did

4:57 AM

So we play steam games in browser?

nope

you can buy games on local client or on browser

but you have to play through local client

@Ave actually you don't

are you talking about onlive clones?

what is local client @ave

@Ave no, i play it on my offline PC without Steam

though granted i needed Steam to download it

4:59 AM

well yeah

but it won't work on all games.

@samjoe store.steampowered.com/about

@Ave you right which is still a apin in the ass

Oh the installer is called client

oh my this installer is 400mb

So what are some free and cool games on steam

warframe is bridge's fave free game I guess

bridge's?

oh this chat

cool

path of exile is pretty good too :P

5:17 AM

Why most gamers are playing only RPGs

Whats so cool in that

@samjoe immersion, plot, "plot", more content

it gives a feeling of achievement and it goes on for as long as you want, usually, because of all the stuff you can change etc.

historically I have only played games like max payne, prince of persia, gta, you know, the games which you guys won't even call games. I only played 3d graphics game, couldnt handle rgps

nope

I love max payne, pop and gta series

@samjoe i'd call GTA a game, GTA: San Andreas is the best one i'ved played (not having played 4 after)

5:22 AM

they're definitely good games and most people here played at least one of them, probably.

though fuck Rockstar and TakeTwo for coming down on single player mods because "waaaa! people are using mods to unlock content we only ever planned to release and charge for multiplayer in singleplayer"

3

I'm surprised that they didn't take down my old mod already

@Ave well they came down on the software which allows you to mod GTA which i would assume you need to use it to load mods

SHV?

or openiv?

@Ave not sure which, the one the makers of the software said that they had built to make sure it can't affect online stuff

i assume the former because of the V and that's when GTA Online Started

5:30 AM

openiv works with gta 5

I know that T2 tried to shut down openiv before but they apologized

but openiv has no protection about online stuff, SHV does

@ave I have set up steam, now how to add game, it shows 0

@Arperum i don't know, one of my friends played some rpg, wow i think, and he thought guys who play those games (...) are newbs

Oh got it

@samjoe pretty sure RPGs are not the only things people play. Just look at Civ for example.

@samjoe Eh, I think we're not that pickish here. Games are games. Mobile games are also games.

@Arperum thats good news

We got questions on pretty much every genre, from action games to 4X games, from 70s text adventures to current early access games, from hypergory spectacles to dating sims

7:42 AM

Still cant find how to add free game to steam

steam store is not opening

Trent Hawkins

Typically, you just navigate to the game's Steam Store page and hit the "Play Game" button... should automatically add it to your library and start downloading. But if the steam store is not loading for you for some reason... shrug

8:10 AM

@samjoe You can simply log on in the Steam store in a regular internet browser, then click the link there. What country do you live?

@Ave aww, I thought you were gonna say there's a new song/album by Neil. Disappointed :(

@samjoe here's a list of free to play games on steam

@Chippies your list contains games to buy

unfortunately it's too late to edit, but this should work correctly

hm, I didn't mean to edit that message, lol... OH WELL, I can live with that

8:27 AM

@Chippies There are still paying games in that list

@Nzall it's as close as you can get to a filtered list on steam though

they are marked free to play

Okay, so it's just database inconsistencies

@Nzall Or most likely free trials marked as free to play games

and other inconsistencies that steam doesn't check for so publishers get away with it

Can it be home time already?

8:43 AM

:(

At least it's a short week? =p

9:01 AM

@KevinvanderVelden short week? What holiday do you have up there this week?

I mean, Belgium has Labour Day, but that's next week;

and the week after the Feast of the Ascension

looks like what little religious education I had didn't stick. it's not Joseph, It's Jesus

@Nzall kingsday

@KevinvanderVelden oh right. Isn't it the 5 year anniversary of King Willem-Alexander's coronation?

I have no idea

most of it is just Beta news

@Nzall oh, I figured there was, considering all the talk you guys have been having about the changes

soon maybe?

people might be preparing

since they announced the Beefa release date the price has increased by like 10 or 20%

It was steady at 300K for most of Q1, but then at the start of the month it started climbing and climbing. It's now at roughly 360K

I ended up getting his discography. I don't even know where i found him.

but I'm happy that I did.

@Ave I personally think Neil is a genius artist, I just wish my wife would share this feeling :(

she absolutely hates his music

@Nzall what was it

1:17 PM

7 hours ago, by Nzall

Today's lunch (hopefully): "salade Asperges met ham, ei, fijn proeversmix, babyspinazie & tomaat", which translates to asparagus salad with ham, egg, fancy lettuce, baby spinach and tomato

"fancy lettuce"

what is that O_o

@Chippies that sucks.

I just checked and apparently one of my partners was the one who introduced me, and apparently I didn't check out his music until she sent me like 3 of his songs.

(how did I manage to ignore reaganomics and touch tone telephone)

I found out about his music when someone posted his first album (Mouth Sounds) here when it was first released

and then I found out that he's also the guy behind Lemon Demon and it blew my mind, because I knew Lemon Demon for a long time

Not sure how to call it in english

@Nzall salad leaves, probably

or salad leaf mix

1:21 PM

some kind of salad

@Chippies Yeah, but that also works for the more classic iceberg or leaf lettuce

i think i've seen those at the supermarket

for some reason plex doesn't want to work right and recognize his songs though

@Nzall well, it is a mix of spinach and other leaves whose names I do not know

actually idk if that is spinach, it looks smaller than regular spinach

I mean, it does say what's in the package, but it's not in English, so I can't help :P

when in doubt restart pms I guess

@StrixVaria So, I'm only about an hour in, but I'm already ridiculously impressed with God of War.

@Fluttershy It's so good.

I haven't been keeping track, maybe 10 hours in so far.

There's a key difference between Far Cry 5 and God of War so far, for me.

@StrixVaria The camera work is amazing.

It's 77 GB download. I'm currently at 480/750 GB into my non-poweruser download limit. The limit resets in 5 days

4:03 PM

In Far Cry 5, when I died, I usually felt like my death was bullshit and I just wanted to turn down the difficulty to get past that dumb part.

In God of War when I die I know it was my fault and I have to adapt to a new FUN challenge.

If I wait for tomorrow to download it, it doesn't count though...

I just finished Far Cry 5 yesterday. I ended up going for 100% completion. Not sure why, but I did it anyway. lol

I'll wait for tomorrow then

because then I can download it in the morning

and everything I download before 12 PM doesn't count towards my usage

And God of War keeps introducing new enemies with new properties that require new ways of fighting them and it's actually fun instead of gimmicky or frustrating.

In Far Cry 5 new enemy types were all boring and frustrating.

This guy takes 4 shotgun blasts instead of 1 to kill, good luck surviving long enough to pump enough bullets into him to finish the job.

@Fluttershy I did too. Those quests that do not appear on map were maddening.

@StrixVaria I've mostly been going with fists for the stun damage. But again, I'm not very far, so that'll probably stop being a good tactic soon.

@Maximillian All the collectibles were a pain for me. Just time consuming.

I was positively surprised when I noticed that Kratos is voiced by Teal'c.

@Fluttershy I did enjoy having a semi-domesticated bear buddy.

@MadScientist Oooooooh. Okay, now I'm interested.

@Maximillian Yeah, that was nice. I mostly used Peaches and Jess, though.

@MadScientist Aaah, I thought his voice was different! That explains it.

4:14 PM

@StrixVaria after a few upgrades Atreus' bow also does decent damage. It's usually faster to get closer, but you can do some decent damage with throwing the axe and the bow

@MadScientist Does he ever get more than 3 shots though?

@StrixVaria 4

and much quicker reload speed

The upgrades to increase his attack rate feel really dumb when you can only shoot 3 times and then have to wait for a cooldown anyway.

you also get different arrow types later.

I have those.

4:16 PM

Both?

Yeah, just got the second, though.

That reminds me, I need to do the FC5 hard fishing zones to get the last rod.

I found the skill tree somewhat confusing, mostly because there is a ton of different moves you can unlock, and I simply can't remember them all.

@MadScientist Yeah there's a lot of moves down the line.

I don't ever use the charge R2 move.

No one has time for that.

I actually used that one, it seems to cause a lot of damage. But yeah, you need the time, so it's not all that often.

But the second arrow type helps with that

4:24 PM

@Maximillian When I did this, I just assumed fishing one time at the hard spot was enough. It was not.

Gotta beat all the county records.

Doing that and the '3 co-op missions' are my only remaining challenges.

I didn't finish all the challenges. The death from below kills just never happened for me. Or the vehicle sabotage.

Your the wrong'st

The problem with Fahrenheit is that while Celsius has a fixedly defined scale where 0 is water freezing at sea level and 100 is water boiling at sea level, Fahrenheit has a much weirder scale, where 0 is essentially extra chilled water, 32 is freezing water and 96 (not 100) is a healthy man's temperature, which is a super dumb baseline if you think about how varied a temperature can be

I don't care what temperature water freezes or boils at

4:51 PM

the measurement of 212 being boiling for Fahrenheit hasn't been added until later

@Nzall fahrenheit basically just made 0 the coldest thing this one guy could make

I care if it's cold as heck (0F) or if it's hot as heck (100F)

@Unionhawk i kinda do tbh
