@MichaelDunfield Good thing your name wasn't @GnomeSlice, or it would have been approved!

Tim Stone

@GraceNote Naturally, but |:

Michael Dunfield

@Sterno My plan is working.

Kevin van der Velden

@Sterno naah, there's no manual intervention, just if ( name == GnomeSlice ) ban( TIME_FOREVER );

Michael Dunfield

Humble Indie Bundle 9

Wipqozn

He didn't even say quebec was insane. He just used the word fuck.

Like, what the fuck?

Kevin van der Velden

18:02

Oh nohs! A four letter word! QUICK FLAG HIM

Grace Note

I had half a mind just to flag that for hilarity and to be mean to Wipqozn.

Sterno

Me too. I figured I'd get counter-banned though.

FEichinger

So, how come we're not talking about this?

Sterno

WHOEVER FLAGGED @GNOMESLICE, PLEASE REPORT YOURSELF FOR PUBLIC SHAMING

Unionhawk

As did I, but I followed my rule of "when in doubt, don't flag it."

Grace Note

18:03

@FEichinger Probably because it's finally the kind of thing that would possibly make me look at Steam.

FEichinger

@GraceNote Well, then, sorry that I showed it to you. :P

Wipqozn

I'm disappointed nobody flagged it.

Sterno

@Wipqozn Be a man. Flag yourself.

Unionhawk

@FEichinger Does this mean it won't kick me out when my brother logs into steam at home? (it seems that it'll kick him out... ooo)

Wipqozn

@Sterno But I'm not a man.

ToxicFrog

18:05

@Unionhawk er? That shouldn't happen full stop unless you're sharing an account.

FEichinger

@Unionhawk FAQ is still a little ambiguous apparently. But it seems like the master can kick the slave out of the same game.

fbueckert

@FEichinger Sounds neat, but I'd like to see how it works in action before agreeing to it.

Unionhawk

> No, a shared library may only be accessed by one user at a time.

ToxicFrog

Also, "A shared library can only be accessed by one user at a time, so even a user on a previously authorized device will be locked out if someone else is already playing."

Ambiguous whether locking is per-library or per-game.

FEichinger

Guess we'll find out during the beta then.

fbueckert

18:07

If any of your friends can play any game that you're not currently playing, sounds good. If only one of your friends can play a game, and only when you're not logged in, not so good.

ToxicFrog

I have some games I'd like to share with my wife, but if we can't both use Steam at the same time to play different games it's mostly useless.

Ben Brocka

@FEichinger Does that let me not log out my desktop every time I turn on my laptop? If not it's stupid and I hate it

ToxicFrog

@BenBrocka it doesn't change the fact that a given account can only be online from one client at a time

Michael Dunfield

Caster with Steam key for $1

FEichinger

@BenBrocka I assume not. Same account on multiple instances is bad still.

Unionhawk

18:08

It's useful for someone like me, with a brother who leeches a steam account. And is tired of seeing the periodic login prompt

Michael Dunfield

FEichinger

Could always kick one of them into Offline mode unless you need it online, though.

Ben Brocka

Ugh

FEichinger

@Unionhawk I resorted to actually buying duplicate games of whatever is relevant to the twins.

ToxicFrog

@MichaelDunfield yes we saw it the first time

kalina

18:09

@RonanForman it's all good, you d/c'd before you masked up

Ben Brocka

@FEichinger I mostly use Steam for chat on the laptop though

Michael Dunfield

@ToxicFrog :P

Ronan Forman

@kalina Oh okay.

kalina

you nearly triggered an alarm though, guard walked right up to you and got suspicious

Ben Brocka

I wish they had some sort of "online but not playing games" mode that only kicks you off the other PC when you actually launch a damn game

ToxicFrog

18:09

@BenBrocka if you steam chat using the mobile API you can have as many logins as you like

FEichinger

@BenBrocka You can do that through the website now. :P

kalina

I'm waiting outside so reconnect whenever, shouldn't interrupt anything

ToxicFrog

@BenBrocka I know bitlbee supports this, other IM clients might as well

Ronan Forman

For varying values of 'good'.

@kalina That's why I masked up.

Michael Dunfield

Save a sexy atomic bomb and take on a supercomputer by solving spatial puzzles in CLARK

wat

ToxicFrog

18:09

@BenBrocka I'm currently online "for real" from my desktop at home, but chat capable from my phone and server

FEichinger

That's where I'm usually online when at home, 'cause I can't connect through the Steam client from here.

Ben Brocka

@ToxicFrog I use IMO but it still uses the normal API I think so I stopped using it

Ullallulloo

Steam announces Family Sharing

store.steampowered.com/sharing

FEichinger

@Ullallulloo We just talked about that.

Like, literally less than ten minutes ago.

Ullallulloo

@FEichinger shoot

Tim Stone

18:11

@fbueckert It does really sound like the latter, which is pretty silly.

Metool

Yay humble bundles

fbueckert

@TimStone Yeah. You might as well not even use it, in that case.

Michael Dunfield

Is anybody here interested in Caster? I will buy you a Steam key for it.

►

Ullallulloo

Join here, though.

Ben Brocka

More mighty no 9 enemy concepts

fbueckert

18:13

> Can a friend and I share a library and both play at the same time?

No, a shared library may only be accessed by one user at a time.

Boo.

That makes it more or less useless.

Ronan Forman

Oh, a whole library, yeah that is useless.

I'd understand not being able to play the same game.

Michael Dunfield

I think it means it can only be on one computer

Tim Stone

It would even be super-annoying-but-workable if you could select only a few games for the shared library, but it doesn't even sound like that's the case.

kalina

@RonanForman did you d/c when running to the alerted guards?

fbueckert

@TimStone Nope. All or nothing.

Ronan Forman

18:14

@kalina Yeah, why?

kalina

ok

just wanted to make sure that we had it that's all

alarm got set off but it was because of failed pagers

took out both guards, failed the pager

Michael Dunfield

store.steampowered.com/app/218330

Another MOBA?

Ben Brocka

Someone should make a MOBA where you play as different MOBA brands

2

3ventic

@BenBrocka This would be an awesome idea.

Sconibulus

Are there enough of them yet?

I can only think of six or seven

Ben Brocka

18:16

@Sconibulus There must be, every other week I hear about one of these things

Wipqozn

These Arizona teenagers are gonna exorcise Britain of all the evil Harry Potter demons

Ben Brocka

there's even a freaking King of Fighters MOBA in development

Wipqozn

> Tess Scherkenback, Brynne Larson, and Savannah Scherkenback all believe that the spells used in the books are “real spells” from real witchcraft books, that they seem to have made up entirely on their own.

> The girls also believe that sluts are a primary cause of demonic possession, and that there is such a thing as “sexually transmitted demons.”

3ventic

@Sconibulus Sort of

fbueckert

@Wipqozn sigh

Ullallulloo

18:18

@fbueckert Eh, I'm still pretty happy with it.

@3ventic That's pretty incomplete.

fbueckert

@Ullallulloo About the only use I can see for it is to let people play when I'm not home.

3ventic

@Ullallulloo That, too.

fbueckert

And it would depend on how Steam handles that.

Michael Dunfield

Are any of you interested in this? store.steampowered.com/app/29800

It's very fun, even if the graphics suck

I will buy you it

spugsley

HIHIIHIHHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHHHHHHIIIIIIIIII

Ben Brocka

18:21

@3ventic Guilty gear?!

fbueckert

Newlywed has doubts, pushes husband off cliff

ToxicFrog

@MichaelDunfield just start a game recommendations blog or something

kalina

@RonanForman I don't seem to be able to reconnect to you

3ventic

@BenBrocka Wikipedia..

ToxicFrog

@fbueckert that, and it could be useful if you can enable sharing and then go offline

Michael Dunfield

18:22

@ToxicFrog Too much work. I would have done it in the arqade blog but it no longer exists

Ronan Forman

@kalina I don't think this will work.

kalina

how much does that suck :\

I blame @Sterno

this is all his fault

fbueckert

@ToxicFrog I suspect that would be abused to no end.

ToxicFrog

Then I could, for example, share my library with my wife, switch to offline mode, and play stuff while she skyrims or something

fbueckert

Share, borrower starts game, goes offline, keeps playing.

Metool

18:23

@MichaelDunfield Wark.

Sterno

@kalina @RonanForman was blaming me for his connection woes yesterday, too!

Michael Dunfield

@Metool What?

ToxicFrog

Otherwise it's pretty much completely useless; any situation in which this sharing would be useful, she could just use my account on her machine, which is what we already do

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Overture is, in some ways, like a MOBA.

Ronan Forman

@Sterno Not you, my connection to you. But it seems not to have been the case.

It was the logical reason though.

Grace Note

18:24

Which is why I was only mildly surprised when someone earlier posted the plans to make a KoF MOBA.

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote I heard it was weird, I didn't realize it was that weird

If they made Xrd a MOBA instead I'd pretty much have to set them on fire

3ventic

@fbueckert I don't think sharing will work offline.

Ben Brocka

Good lord one of the indiecade judges said Aces Wild "felt like it belonged on a tablet"

fbueckert

@3ventic I doubt it.

Ben Brocka

What particular breed of morons do they get for that?

fbueckert

18:29

I mean, this is a step in the right direction, but it's so locked down as to be totally useless.

Sterno

@RonanForman @Wipqozn was totally there and available to blame. You blew it.

Ronan Forman

@Sterno But I'd played with him before without the connection issues. Now I know that isn't the reason it's probably @Wipqozn's fault.

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka wat

Ben Brocka

@MichaelDunfield they didn't think it was worth plugging in a controller for it either

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka Sigh.

Ben Brocka

18:33

I presume they think the iOS version of SF4 is the best too

You know if they wanted someone that actually...knows and plays games to judge these things, I could do it

Michael Dunfield

@BenBrocka I volunteer as well.

fbueckert

18:46

And this is why the automated messages don't help much

Granted, it has something to do with the user's reading comprehension, or lack thereof, but all they really see is, "This ain't an answer! Ask it with the Ask Question button!"

Sterno

I voted to close that as unclear rather than a dupe, since his question was so vague you can't be sure it's the same problem. Not that it matters. 4 to 1!

OrigamiRobot

They changed the answer flag screen.

Michael Dunfield

Any takers?

OrigamiRobot

I almost flagged as spam by mistake.

May 23 at 1:07, by Ethan

What is that like a buritto of some sort

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Yeah. I almost did the same thing yesterday.

Michael Dunfield

One of my favourite games of 2012.

Sterno

@fbueckert Oh, I didn't realize this was because he answered another question with a question

Michael Dunfield

Maybe I'll do a twitter giveaway

fbueckert

@Sterno Yeah, I didn't link to it. Research for the win!

Michael Dunfield

That's like, the fourth time it's been posted?

StrixVaria

@FEichinger It's not on the stars list so blame yourselves.

FEichinger

@StrixVaria I blame the others for not starring it.

OrigamiRobot

18:57

There, I starred it.

3ventic

Star them all so no one will say it anymore!

FEichinger

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Michael Dunfield

You guys are the worst.

@MichaelDunfield You are the worst.

OrigamiRobot

I am the worst.

Michael Dunfield

18:58

@FEichinger I am part of the collective 'you guys' so that sounds about right.

FEichinger

@MichaelDunfield No, that would be "we guys".

OrigamiRobot

"Us guys"

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot No, your face is the worst! Hah!

OrigamiRobot

I will not deny this.

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot Good!
