@Fluttershy I think he is asking if @GnomeSlice is sexually transmitted.

Which is kind of a weird question, tbqh.

@BenBrocka another silly thing you can do. You can set up an alternative scene with three captures, one of the game, one of the top row of hearts and one of the bottom row of hearts and use it to "zoom" on it when the need arises. This gives you a magnified unified life bar. You can even use the chroma thing to remove the background

OBS will even crossfade the transition for you

(not in a way you can apparently control)

Ben Brocka

@badp Ohhh, cool idea

I might poke around and see what I can do, next stream will be more Kirby's Return though so I'm not sure what I'd be able to do there

Augh Tweetdeck goddamit. This is like the 5th time I've followed someone from my personal account instead of my Youtube account without realizing it

badp

yeah, that game actually has a UI that doesn't suck :)

Ben Brocka

23:09

When you retweet it retweets from the account who's column the tweet was from. But when you follow it's not that smart

I DO need to find out how to make Kirby's Return not stretch to 16:9 though. It looks worse when I unstretch it back to 4:3 for some reason

Or...do wii games actually output in 16:9? I was never sure

Anyone have the favicon extension for browsers? I don't get notifications on my tab when new messages are posted.

badp

@BenBrocka If the signal is stretched at the source, stretching it more will make things worse I guess

stretch noise upon stretch noise

Ben Brocka

@badp Well it's unstretched...but it's probably irreparably changed in the 16:9 stretch. I'll see if Wii has a way to output 4:3

badp

besides at least Zelda Skyward Sword had a weird aspect ratio to allow for a off-canvas on-screen low battery indicator

wouldn't be surprised if similar stuff was going on here

Ben Brocka

huh, Wii U seems to remove the Wii options entirely

LessPop_MoreFizz

23:28

And people wonder why Game Devs target iOS way out ahead of Android, or even the PC in some cases.

GnomeSlice

@LessPop_MoreFizz I posted that earlier. Pretty substantial different between iOS and their other platforms

Interesting that 7% of sales on Steam accounts for 19% of their total revenue as well. I guess that's because the Steam game is $8 and the iOS one is like $2

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice Yeah, though the iOS game was tenbux at launch as well

more notable is Android is 26% of units, but only 8% of revenue.

GnomeSlice

I imagine it didn't stay at that price for very long.

LessPop_MoreFizz

that's really damning.

GnomeSlice

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, the biggest chunk of those were on sale. I figure it was humble bundles mostly.

LessPop_MoreFizz

23:30

@GnomeSlice It stayed at that price for about a year - until the game showed up on other platforms basically.

GnomeSlice

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice Humble Bundles on Android is 21% units, 4 % revenue. By contrast, Humble Bundle on PC/Mac/Linux was 34% units, 16% revenue - not great, but still dramatically better than Android cheapskates.

GnomeSlice

wouldn't 55,000 ios units be more than 33% of their total sales (1.5m)?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice You're missing a 0

GnomeSlice

Oops

23% android bought it full price. The rest must have been bundles?

Fluttershy

23:32

Too broad?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice No, the rest were on sale on the play store

Fluttershy

(cc: @LessPop_MoreFizz)

Oh. Hey. You're right there. <_<

Private Pansy

@GnomeSlice No, you don't get the game through Play if you bought it on HiB

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy Yeah. Waaaaaaaaaay too broad.

GnomeSlice

@PrivatePansy Oh right, 'google play units'

My bad

Thought it was 'android units' for some reason

Also anyone here played Soulcaster?

LessPop_MoreFizz

23:34

This is waaaaaaaaaaaay too broad. There are multiple comprehensive Wiki's that cover Warcraft Lore. Why don't you go and read up on some of those, and then come back here if you have a more specific question? — LessPop_MoreFizz 18 secs ago

GnomeSlice

desura.com/groups/indie-game-stand-community/news/…

Private Pansy

The thing is, if your game goes out (and is launched on) HiB regularly, it's harder to buy the game at full price through the store

Ben Brocka

Augh I'll have to play on the Wii to get 4:3 output

user20683

@LessPop_MoreFizz aren't Lore questions Shortbus territory anyway?

Private Pansy

Though I must say the Humble Bundle app is horrible and at times I wish I had bought some of the games through the store just so the games would update properly

LessPop_MoreFizz

23:35

@WorldEngineer Well yes, but they aren't explicitly off topic, so I can't just tell him to shove it.

Private Pansy

And of course the Android version launched a very long time after both the Steam and iOS version, and you probably won't want to buy the game again if you've already played it on either

GnomeSlice

@WorldEngineer No, stoppit

Today's listening: soundcloud.com/onelovemusic/all-i-need-phesta-remix

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice Lore questions are on topic, that doesn't mean that the vast majority of them aren't terrible, and that they aren't closable/problematic in disproportion to their portion of the site. (Yes, even the Portal questions, I only get so many downvotes so stop bitching about them.)

GnomeSlice

@LessPop_MoreFizz Hahahaha they're such good examples of inconsistency! =P

Also I don't know what you mean by 'problematic in disproportion to their portion of the site'. Since when to questions get 'portions' of the site

Maybe I'm reading it wrong

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice They're such good examples of you not understanding the difference between 'things serious regulars don't like and downvote' and 'things that lots of idiots will drive by upvote' and that they are not often the same people.

Fluttershy

23:39

@LessPop_MoreFizz Accurate. My thing was the whole "There have been several books written about this." And that's a reason to not ask here. The whole, "If you can imagine a book being written" blah blah.

GnomeSlice

@LessPop_MoreFizz but usually they have like one downvote

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice I mean that the percentage of lore questions that deserve closure is much larger than the percentage of total questions that deserve closure.

GnomeSlice

Ah, okay. Wow my english sucks.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice You also need to remember when Portal 2 came out/when the site started and the fact that our mores and rules and standards have evolved over time.

GnomeSlice

This is also true.

Why do I feel like this is now an argument about me

LessPop_MoreFizz

23:42

Also, the fact that I think most of the dumb portal questions deserve a downvote doesn't mean I've downvoted them, because I don't go looking for things to downvote, and for the most part I don't look at questions about games I don't care about unless they look astoundingly dumb, and for all that our many Portal questions are quite dumb, they do tend to be written in proper English and tagged properly, and not written by 1 rep User12873128318's etc. and thus are easy to overlook.

GnomeSlice

@2____ Your today's listening: youtube.com/watch?v=4EvT1jfkm3M

@LessPop_MoreFizz Neither do I. In fact I like those questions, I haven't downvoted most of them either. I just don't like inconsistency.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice because it is because it is a subject about which you've never been able to shut up and I've never fully understood why you can't grasp that you're ability to dig up old garbage to undermine our site standards isn't helping anyone.

GnomeSlice

@LessPop_MoreFizz What does the user have to do with it

@LessPop_MoreFizz Consistency!

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice It's a red flag that a question bears investigating to see if it's cromulent; same reason that there's a 'First Posts' review queue.
