6:05 PM

@GnomeSlice Ah, there we go. I bought it from a Groupees bundle, that's why it wasn't showing up on the site or on Desura

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko groupees should have given you a desura key

Fluttershy

Why was this undeleted? >_<

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice They did, I just didn't use it apparently

RedRiderX

@Ullallulloo Oh, over like every other site?

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko Still have it?

Ullallulloo

6:06 PM

@RedRiderX I think so.

GnomeSlice

It should still be good

badp

@MadScientist Problem is I have to get a bank account in Germany by the 16th... or at least the end of the month

SaintWacko

I wonder if I can use it on the Desura site

Yeah

@Ullallulloo Hmm okay, the user descriptions seems a bit misleading then.

badp

All I care is that I can shut it off in six months without them kicking up a big fuss

Fluttershy

@fbueckert Well, It should still be deleted. It sat closed as NC for four months.

fbueckert

@Fluttershy I concur.

I'm also grumpy about a user's constant attempts to keep crappy content on the site.

Mad Scientist

@badp It might be easier to do that in person with a non-online bank, or just try to call someone from the online banks and ask in english about that.

GnomeSlice

I don't speak asian

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Fan-made.

It's short for Doujinshi. It's pretty huge in Japan.

RedRiderX

@Powerlord But doesn't everyone love subscriptions for software?

Mad Scientist

But in general there is a lot of regulation in Germany and you can expect ToS to be somewhat reasonable. Most ugly surprises would be contrary to german law

RedRiderX

I forget, did Lync have a subscription component before?

Powerlord

@RedRiderX Not sure

Mad Scientist

@fbueckert I think this proves clearly that the 1 year suspension was justified. I was rather surprised that he went even to Christianity and complained about me there (the question was tagged sin ;-))

@fbueckert I thought you said you didn't need any new games

Ben Brocka

Does anyone have a bigass fancy TV? Considering picking something up in the 50"+ region but looking at TV specs is like a billion times more byzantine than PC specs

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice I don't. Doesn't mean I don't buy more games if I like them.

My bar for interest just gets raised.

@Wipqozn If it hits $80K, they'll add in solo hero missions, ala. Kamen Rider.

GnomeSlice

I never understood stretch goals in crowdfunding things.

It's basically an excuse for feature creep

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka I have a 40", but I spent two years selling home electronics! What's up? <_<

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Personally, I see it more as holding desired features for ransom.

Fluttershy

6:58 PM

Do we do "who wrote X music for game Y" questions?

Ben Brocka

@Fluttershy I have (two now, thanks to Arqade) 42"ers but looking for something bigger. 3D is a plus, low input lag is vital. Something that works well in bright-ish conditions is good too since I hate when I can't play dark games because it's daylight out

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka So you want something with more of a matte screen like Sony's Bravia line. It reduces glare. Personally, I'm not a fan of anything with 120Hz refresh rates. I prefer 60Hz. Personal preference though, and I don't even think you can get less than 120 anymore. I can't offer any advice on 3D TVs. I can't see 3D. >_> But if you're willing to spend a little bit more, check out Sony's Bravia line. Samsung also makes a good flat screen.

Ben Brocka

3D's more of a "may as well", I'm frankly more willing to spend $1000 on a TV than $70 on those stupid glasses

@Fluttershy why would 120hz be worse?

Fluttershy

For viewing angle, I can't really say anymore. =/ LED-TVs weren't a thing when I worked in home electronics, but I've heard nothing but good things about them. Plasma screens put off quite a bit more heat, so if it's a small-ish room, may wanna avoid those.

Ben Brocka

LED would be ideal

Fluttershy

7:03 PM

@BenBrocka Any time I watch something with 120 Hz refresh rate, I feel like I'm watching a soap opera. I can't really explain it, but I'm just not a fan.

Ben Brocka

I'm iffy on Plasmas. It's not a small room but I sit close-ish the TV and I'm already worried about heat since I'm putting my consoles inside the entertainment center for once

GnomeSlice

Organic Panic probably isn't going to get funded

Ben Brocka

Also burn-in/etc but my dad had a plasma for like 6+ years and it never burned in

GnomeSlice

=[

@BenBrocka Did he play games with static HUD elements on them?

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice yeah :/ people get notified of it when it's 48 hours left though

Fluttershy

7:05 PM

@BenBrocka I'm convinced burn-in is a myth.

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka I just got notified

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice No, so that's a bit of a concern. Though I did play games like that when I was over there

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka What size screen are you wanting? And what price range?

Ben Brocka

Oh, just passed 48 hours. I'll wait and see. He said he'll finish it no matter what though, the Kickstarter is just to make it happen faster

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka Oh, excellent.

I wonder if Reptile has considered a GameStick port for Megabyte Punch

also holy hell the new final boss is really really hard

Ronan Forman

7:06 PM

@Fluttershy It's really not, I have it on my monitors.

Ben Brocka

@Fluttershy I'm thinking 55~ unless I can go like 60s without adding literally thousands. For price I'm looking at best-of-best stuff and the prices are $1000-$2000 some. I would be willing, but not thrilled, to pay in that area, but it'd have be a fantastic upgrade over my current one. The problem is I have NO idea what's a good TV these days, or where the point is where you start spending tons more per inch. In the past 42" was the sweetspot it seems.

I guess I should check stuff out in shudder bestbuy or something

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka Take a look at some of the Vizio TVs at Walmart. You can get a 55" Vizio that's pretty comparable to some of the Sony/Samsung stuff, and it's like half the price of the former.

The Vizio M3D550KD would be pretty decent for what you're wanting. 55" LED, 240Hz refresh rate, and a matte screen for better quality in bright areas.

And by "pretty decent" I mean "likely the best for its price."

Ben Brocka

I had a visio 24" before, it's....pretty lame. And I'm not sure if it's age or what, but it's colors are REALLY off, it's blue at the bottom and orange at the top. Not sure if that's symptomatic of the quality or what though

GnomeSlice

Wow... the new final boss is wayyy too hard

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka Sounds like you just got a bad one. My parents have had a 46" Vizio for... Three or four years and haven't had any problems out of it. How long ago was this?

Wipqozn

7:14 PM

@Fluttershy Or maybe your parents just got a good one.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn Ideally, they should all be good. <_<

Wipqozn

I'd suggest actually poking around at brands online too, to get a better idea of reliability and quality.

Ben Brocka

@Fluttershy Yeah I was wondering if the smaller ones were just cheaper

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy You crazy kids and your fantasy worlds.

Ben Brocka

@StrixVaria It's a very well made game but I played the beta and it seems like the kind of thing you'd need to put a lot of time into to get good at

Arperum

Since a random act of kindness can only be repaid by kindness:

Anyone interested in a copy of torchlight II?

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice Hold back, like in 95% of fighting games

Or 100% of fighting games that aren't Mortal Combat or Soul Calibur

GnomeSlice

7:55 PM

@BenBrocka Oh. That's unintuitive

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice Holding back to block is unintuitive?

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice Depends how good you need to get. It doesn't take long to get good enough to beat Normal NPCs, really

fbueckert

@StrixVaria That's what I was going to say.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Yes, why not just make it a button

fbueckert

It's only been the standard for...a couple decades?

Ben Brocka

7:55 PM

@GnomeSlice It's standard fighting game stuff, so you don't have to press a button

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice Because this game already requires 50% more buttons than there are physical buttons on my controller.

OrigamiRobot

I thought MK was the only one to have it as a separate button

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot SC does it too, they make it part of the mechanic (just guards, it's also half the throw button)

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice It is probably the most intuitive thing to try to back away from an attack.

GnomeSlice

Fine, whatever, it's not a contest.

OrigamiRobot

7:57 PM

I don't think you know what "contest" means.

SaintWacko

If it was, I'd be winning

Ben Brocka

I'd win SO much harder than you guys

@GnomeSlice did you check the tutorials? They are REALLY good

StrixVaria

@BenBrocka Do they have per-character tutorials?

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka No, I would! Haven't you ever seen Wargames?

Ben Brocka

@StrixVaria Somewhat, the majority of the stuff is cross-character, then they have shorter tutorials per character which teaches you a few important moves and some general info about the character (e.g. Cerebella's a grappler, that means blah, Valentine is Rushdown, so blah...)

StrixVaria

7:59 PM

Neat.

Ben Brocka

BTW I find Cerebella and Valentine easiest to use personally. Val has some decently long normal combos that are easy to do, and her specials and supers are useful. And Cere lets you do lots of damage without a combo at all thanks to command grabs

fbueckert

Updated answer on NOYB's last Meta post, if anyone's interested.

The hypocrisy, it burns!

StrixVaria

@BenBrocka I'm going to have to just try them all and see who fits my style. I don't remember them all but Painwheel or something looked really interesting.

Ben Brocka

@StrixVaria Painwheel is interesting but complex, so she doesn't get that much use

Everyone's pretty damn balanced though, MikeZ does a great job

Filia is apparently "easy to use" but she depends a lot on airdash stuff I never got the hang of. She's great in the air though

StrixVaria

I usually start games by learning characters with good zoning.

Ben Brocka

8:02 PM

That'd be Peacock and Parasoul

and to a lesser extent Double

StrixVaria

I'll take a look at them first and see how I like them.

Is Double the one who kicks her head around or something?

Ben Brocka

Peacock's really funny too. She's a weaponized 40s cartoon, she's great

No, that's Ms Fortune, the cat

She does puns

StrixVaria

Oh, ok. Ms Fortune is the one I'm least interested in using, then.

Ben Brocka

It's pretty useful, her head can extent combos or pincer attack

StrixVaria

I kind of liked Litchi in BlazBlue where she could put her staff down anywhere on the field and use it to combo, but her combos were really hard to pull off.

I just don't feel like getting into that again.

Carl Clover was beyond me.

GnomeSlice

8:05 PM

@BenBrocka I couldn't beat the first one so I gave up

Why do most of them have such huge tits.

StrixVaria

BlazBlue was really hard to play in general, though.

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice Look at the rest of Kinu and Alex's art

@StrixVaria Ms Fortune's head is surprisingly easy to control. Only has a few attacks. There's a good coverage of different playstyles in the initial cast though

@GnomeSlice Are...you sure you're looking at the tutorials? The first one is for walking around

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka Yeah it's for dodging stuff

the counter doesn't go up when I dodge stuff

I found some I could do though

like the blocking one

So thanks I guess

Ben Brocka

Yeah you can do them out of order too

GnomeSlice

And the game just force closed

I can definitely see some of Zone's animation in this

This is pretty nice, but I don't have the cash to blow on it right now

I'm guessing this will stop working once it's out of beta

Ben Brocka

8:09 PM

Zone hasn't worked on anything in the current game yet...

Kinucakes is the lead animator, Zone would just do cleanup and shit

@StrixVaria I got it for free on Vita, didn't get very into it. Just made me want more Guilty Gear

@GnomeSlice report bugs!

StrixVaria

@BenBrocka It felt like it was trying to be Guilty Gear but almost took it too far.

One character attacked both when you pressed and when you released buttons.

Which made his combos even more impossible to pull off.

Ben Brocka

@StrixVaria ...odd

I didn't try many characters though, just took a peek at the oddly complciated story mode

@GnomeSlice BTW do you at least know about the magic series? try using light, then medium, then heavy attacks. They'll usually cancel into each other, making braindead easy combos. In addition you can cancel any normal attack into a special (command + button) and any special (I think) into a super

GnomeSlice

And it crashed again

Whenever that girl with the tentacle does her coffin thing it crashes

Ben Brocka

So with Valentine you can do a big long chain by pressing LPx3, MPx2, HP (or HKx3) with pretty lenient timings, then cancel the last heavy into a special (like the shuriken) and then into a super if you have meter

GnomeSlice

Valentine is amazing.

And Cerebella

Ben Brocka

8:19 PM

@GnomeSlice Oh, Squiggly's unfinished, that's probably why

They're both good to start with. Val's combos are much simpler than they appear

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka buh

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice If you like you can just poke with light attacks and then mash HK until you stop attacking...that works as well. Builds less meter but surprisingly does not lose all that much damage

GnomeSlice

Most of my combos end with Cerebella falling out of the sky and landing on people.

Ben Brocka

so use LP/LK and if you get a hit confirm just wail on them with HK (the IV spear attack), she can do three hits with that for good damage

GnomeSlice

I suck at this

I don't even know what buttons those are dude

I've been winning though so that's good

Ben Brocka

8:22 PM

There's Punch and Kick (P&K) and light medium and heavy (L M H), they're arranged in ascending order on keyboard/gamepad, and Heavy attacks are visibly slower/heavier than lights

I usually spam her with the jump+ bonesaw with Val and Titan Knuckle with Cerebella

GnomeSlice

Yeah, I got her.

Third try.

I can't figure out why sometmies I can do this head spinning thing with Cerebella and sometimes not

Ben Brocka

I think that's quarter circle forward and...heavy punch?

It's in the move list as Cerecopter. It's a very good attack

GnomeSlice

Yeah. Usually that just does titan knuckle though

Maybe it uses drama or whatever it's called

Ben Brocka

Titan Knuckle is just forward and HP

GnomeSlice

Yeah

Often if I start with that and then mash my sitck and HP I can get her to do it

Ben Brocka

8:48 PM

You must accidentally be pressing down before the input sometimes

GnomeSlice

Eh

It doesn't use up power or whatever?

Ben Brocka

Specials don't use up meter, only supers

Titan Knuckle is a special too

GnomeSlice

store.steampowered.com/app/231040

Oh

I don't know how to do the supers

yet

I'll figure it out

I don't actually know what all the buttons are

Ben Brocka

They're usually just quartercircle forward plus two punch or two kick buttons

GnomeSlice

I know x is punch, y is MP and RB is HP

I think

Ben Brocka

8:49 PM

it's in the command list, check it out. Most characters have very short command lists (cerebella is an exception)

Do a full circle (starting forward, going clockwise) and grab with Cere for Ultimate Showstopper

GnomeSlice

I did notice sometimes her throw was different

Is that the one with the sword?

That move

Ben Brocka

GET READY FOR A SHOWSTOPPER

GnomeSlice

Yeah that one

Ben Brocka

You'd notice that it's a super for sure

For one thing it does like 50% damage

GnomeSlice

Uh. Well

Wait yeah

She throws them up in the air and impales them on a sword

Ben Brocka

8:52 PM

No that's just Diamond Drop I think, unless Vice Versa (the hat) slams them back and forth repeatedly first

She has LOTS of different throws

It's very hard to do Showstopper on accident

It sounds familiar.

Ben Brocka

EKG Flatliner is one of my favorites

GnomeSlice

What?

Yeah does she have two

Ben Brocka

She also says "Here. We. Go!" when doing showstopper

GnomeSlice

I did the operation one twice by accident

Ben Brocka

Valentine has 5 supers

GnomeSlice

8:54 PM

WTF

Ben Brocka

Most have 3, Double has 4, Val has 5

GnomeSlice

Fuck this game

Ben Brocka

You don't even need to use them

GnomeSlice

Double always uses the same one

the car thing

Ben Brocka

Everyone has two 1 meter supers which are generally braindead easy and one 3 meter super which is riskier

You need more meter to do some of them. Val's revive attack needs 5 (full) meter, which is why you'll almost never see it

8:55 PM

@BenBrocka the one where she goes back and forth with the beeps?

Ben Brocka

@badp Yeah, the EKG noises

and visuals

badp

it's pretty iconic

Powerlord

There's apparently an emulator to run OSX software on Linux desktops now.

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice You'll see level 1 supers very often, level 3s pretty rarely (though AI may pop them off for littlereason)

GnomeSlice

I don't think I really have the time or patience to get into another fighting game

shit is complicated

Ben Brocka

8:57 PM

The EKG one is generally the one you want to use with Val

You can learn it as you go though, you don't need to know it all at once

...especially since like half of chat is getting it and none of you know what you're doing. Makes you on even ground more or less

GnomeSlice

When the beta ends my steam copy will stop working anyway

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka I am having borderlands issues

Powerlord

Somehow, part of my work today involved creating an icon. Keeping in mind that drawing is one of my extremely weak suits.

badp

@BenBrocka The Grand Gaming Stack Exchange Button Mashing Competition

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot What's it doing?

GnomeSlice

8:59 PM

@BenBrocka Does the beta support online play?

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice Yes, that's part of the point, to test that

Powerlord

Luckily, it's only 32x32 or whatnot... had to erase an arrow pixel by pixel and draw a question mark in pixel by pixel.

GnomeSlice

Oh

Want to play?
