@PrivatePansy BEST PONY

@Sterno @3ventic So what you're saying is moist ponies are good?

Sterno

@fredley No. And ewwww.

3ventic

@fredley What? I was talking about cakes.

Sterno

I wonder if I'll get flagged again if I post an image of a pony getting ripped apart.

Better wait until lunch to find out.

fredley

@Sterno You're the one who likes moist ponies

fbueckert

14:04

@Sterno Did you get flagged last time that happened?

5pike

@Sterno I think I know that one...

Private Pansy

Sterno

@fbueckert Yes.

Private Pansy

@fbueckert I don't think it got flagged the last time

Sterno

However, the flag was not confirmed

@fredley CITATION NEEDED

@PrivatePansy That's clearly a unicorn and not a pony.

Q: Fez: I'm swimming in a purple (pink?) water - will it go forever, or is there some secret eventually?

I just got my first anti-cube in a room where I had to throw four purple block with unique patterns on them in order to make yellow "power" lines flow in a bigger block. I decide to try swimming in the pink (light purple?) water below it, but it goes on forever. Is there some secret if you swim ...

I've been trying to play this title on my current system, Windows 7 64bit, and I'm really struggling to get the game to even run. So far I have tried, installing the game from disc and setting the compatibility mode to Windows XP SP3, and still the game crashed to desktop on launch. Are there a...

OrigamiRobot

@fredley Date font needs to be a bit thinner and lighter

fredley

14:13

@OrigamiRobot No it doesn't, we're just using different renderers, and possibly different fonts

OrigamiRobot

Does so.

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Shut up, you're wrong

OrigamiRobot

I am never wrong.

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Well your font rendering is wrong.

Do you even Helvetica, bro?

OrigamiRobot

Nothing I do is ever wrong.

Private Pansy

14:17

@fredley Windows PC does not come with that

fredley

@PrivatePansy I am not on a Windows PC

...and actually chat font is Verdana

Private Pansy

@fredley It is indeed

fredley

Changing it to Helvetica is not nice

Martin Sojka

@fredley Verdana, Arial, sans-serif

Sterno

@fredley My attorney, Saul Goodman, will be contacting you about my libel suit.

fredley

14:19

@Sterno cc: @kalina Sterno in a suit

kalina

@fredley good, suits offer the lowest levels of visibility of any armour class

Martin Sojka

While it's hard to imagine somebody doesn't have Arial, it's not impossible. After all, it's not the best-looking font face ...

kalina

somebody give me a script to change all fonts on the bridge to comic sans 24pt

OrigamiRobot

@fredley She only likes @fbueckert in a suit.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot I get to wear a full on tux tomorrow!

fredley

14:21

@kalina That's.... very easy to do

kalina

@fbueckert pics

@fredley I'm not saying I couldn't work it out, it's just easier if somebody else does it

fbueckert

@kalina I had one a couple weeks ago. Not the full ensemble, but pretty close.

kalina

besides it was more star bait than something I actually want

Private Pansy

@kalina I think document.body.style.font = '24px Comic Sans' should work

Although I'm not sure if it does because I don't actually have Comic Sans on this computer

fredley

I'll make a bookmarklet, wait a sec

Private Pansy

14:24

One of the first things I do while installing the usual applications and stuff on a new computer is to delete Comic Sans from the Fonts folder

Sterno

For every pony that is posted, I will spoiler one critical element of last night's Breaking Bad!

14:28

@PrivatePansy I actually have the four spaces in front of most of the text, it still fails to recognise it as code.

fredley

Nope

kalina

@Sterno everything you say is irrelevant, it's all written in comic sans and therefore I don't have to pay attention to it

@MichaelDunfield I was only posting ponies so @Sterno would spoil more Breaking Bad

not until you've got to level 100 in payday 2

Private Pansy

@Blem Hey, if you're going to post ponies, at least use something more interesting than stock images

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley get on that with your javascriptering!

fbueckert

@kalina Okay, this is getting a little out of hand.

kalina

@Wipqozn and I are good friends, see?

OrigamiRobot

14:35

@fbueckert There's a joke in there somewhere...

fbueckert

Can we not star that, please? It's not really safe for work.

kalina

I didn't intend for it to get starred

Kevin van der Velden

@fbueckert whomever is watching the logs for interesting patterns is going to wonder what the hell is going on around here xp

kalina

I blame everybody else

Private Pansy

For instance, here we have small cartoon horses expressed in post-modern art style

kalina

14:36

@KevinvanderVelden you'll never get interesting patterns out of the bridge

Sterno

@kalina I think there are very few things you type in here that aren't star bait.

kalina

@Sterno actually it's the other way around

Sterno

Now if there was a show called My Little Turtle, maybe I could get on board with that.

kalina

I don't deny star baiting every now and again, it's not as much as you guys want to believe is the case though

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina perhaps not interesting as "huh thats new" but interesting as in "we should probably call someone"

kalina

14:37

@KevinvanderVelden oh they'd have reached that point years ago

we have questions about cooking meth and eating corpses

Private Pansy

@Sterno Tortoise

Sterno

I'm glad I got all those Rats runs in right before they nerfed cash

kalina

@Sterno haha same

its still reasonable xp

but the cash is so bad now

Sterno

@PrivatePansy I don't care about tortoises. Just turtles.

@kalina Yeah, it seems like now you'll get XP faster than you can actually pay cash to buy skills

kalina

@Sterno this, definitely is the case

fortunately

OrigamiRobot

14:38

@Sterno Good, I hated Rats

kalina

I have like 21 mil

and thus, don't need to worry about cash

Sterno

I unfortunately blew most of my Rats cash on a new weapon and mods for it.

kalina

although I have burned my offshore account from just under 500 mil to 200 mil in the space of this weekend

ah

Sterno

So I've got the skill points for awesome new mastermind skills, but no cash for them

kalina

weapons and mods are also more expensive since the patch

Blem

14:39

@PrivatePansy I just googled for mlp on image search and started from one end

Sterno

Now that I got the body bag skill, I can actually do effective stealthing

5pike

@kalina Don't forget masks

kalina

@Sterno cleaner aced, silenced pistol, dominate ability, cable ties

Kevin van der Velden

Btw, what's the community in payday like with random people joining your game? At all bearable?

kalina

@Sterno that is all you need

Sterno

14:40

@KevinvanderVelden Mostly okay.

kalina

@KevinvanderVelden tolerable

some are bad

Sterno

Unless you are trying full stealth

5pike

@KevinvanderVelden Had some very nice runs

kalina

some are good

5pike

But there are some idiots

kalina

14:40

some are exceptional, some are complete aids

3ventic

Most randoms have been good

kalina

@Sterno hey, I joined a random group lastnight, told them all to stay on the roof, solo'd the entire mission for them

had one guy join us on ukrainian job "Stay at the van while my friend goes and blows up the safe"

fbueckert

14:41

Well, somebody's not happy about automated procedures

Kevin van der Velden

Cool, I might try with random people than

3ventic

he runs in and we had to kick him to get the achievement..

Kevin van der Velden

Ooh great " I see this as assault on my free speech"

5pike

@3ventic They added a c4 proof safe

Kevin van der Velden

Since when has stackexchange been taken over by the american goverment?

fredley

14:42

Wow, nmap just caused a kernel panic

kalina

@fbueckert haters gonna hate

3ventic

@5pike In ukrainian job?

5pike

Yes

kalina

@5pike drilling in general has been buffed int his patch

they seem faster

Kevin van der Velden

Cause you know, that's the group of people (supposedly) required to allow you free speech?

kalina

14:42

there are safes that require drills

5pike

Threw me and my crew of our card-grubbing run

kalina

c4 has been indirectly nerfed as a result

3ventic

So the achievement isn't possible anymore unless the tiara is inside the store?

Sterno

@fbueckert The internet will be a much more shallow place without his future contributions

5pike

Overkill - we only had suits and very bad weapons

kalina

14:42

@3ventic yeah you drill it

drills can be silent, you know

3ventic

@kalina Good luck getting the achievement then

5pike

@3ventic One safe is normal, the other you have to drill. I'd say its 50-50

kalina

@3ventic oh wait, ukranian job is the 35 second achievement right?

3ventic

@5pike Ah, then it's no problem

@kalina yes

5pike

@3ventic You have to check yourself, because we didn't bother after this.

kalina

14:44

I think I already have it

5pike

Overkill with only suits is pure stress

kalina

Overkill with only suits is the only way to play

Sterno

Stupid titan safe with a cheese sandwich inside. I shot that handcuffed guard out of spite after opening it.

kalina

Overkill, suits, silenced pistols, cable ties, body bags, lock picks and a hand dryer in a toilet

Sterno

@kalina Honestly, on overkill, armor doesn't really seem to help.

kalina

14:45

@Sterno even less now, some people think they accidentally broke armour in patch 11

Kevin van der Velden

@Sterno you're gonna get shotgunned to the face regardless, might as well go out in style

Though we would need hats for that to be honest

Sterno

@kalina Definitely. Armor was useful in Overkill pre-patch.

kalina

just farm framing frame

its np

Sterno

Heavy armor did seem pretty silly on easy difficulties though. You could pretty much just stand in the open and gun everyone down.

kalina

needs more pure stealth levels

Sconibulus

14:47

hand dryer in a toilet?

kalina

@Sconibulus yeah

Sconibulus

I kinda get what the rest of it is for, but what use does that serve?

kalina

I will show you, one second

►

watch that for a minute or so

5pike

It attracts guards

kalina

it's pretty much the only thing in game that does as well

which is a bit silly

Sterno

14:49

@kalina Sometimes there is a camera in the alley on Diamond Heist. It makes stealth so much easier.

kalina

@Sterno pop the camera, wait for the guards?

Sterno

@kalina Yup

I think only one comes, but that's like 2 minutes less waiting

kalina

you know what we were doing on Friday on Diamond heist?

that's pretty much the tactic, but with one additional step: use the keycard

Sterno

Yeah.

kalina

everything else we were doing was perfect

3ventic

14:51

@Sterno I'm pretty sure only one guard will ever come check on broken cameras in a level

Sterno

I can loot the store solo without setting off alarms

I just can't get the stuff to the van

Actually

Maybe if I kill every single hostage

I think that would be a net loss though

kalina

then the job will cost you more than you make from it

StrixVaria

@Sterno It sounds like that's the kind of thing there would be incentive not to do.

kalina

@StrixVaria yeah you get fined for each dead hostage

hasn't ever stopped me from killing small villages worth of people though

5pike

@3ventic that is correct

Sterno

14:52

@StrixVaria She's got 21 million dollars. This allows her to kill indiscriminately.

StrixVaria

@kalina Who is fining you?

5pike

but other guards can still spot it

kalina

@StrixVaria Bain, for cleaning costs

I do my own cleaning

StrixVaria

This game is only $30...

kalina

I shouldn't be fined for anything

StrixVaria

14:53

Wishlisted for now.

3ventic

The fine's only 8k, that's nothing for doing a heist on overkill

kalina

@StrixVaria you really should get it if you like games like left 4 dead or borderlands but want more tactical coordination

StrixVaria

@kalina I love L4D but don't particularly care for Borderlands.

3ventic

Borderlands is a bad example

kalina

Payday 2 is one of those games that can be really quiet for 15 minutes, and then you step out in front of a camera or kill a guard slightly wrong and suddenly there is an entire police force sat on top of you

3ventic

14:54

L4D is closer but eh

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria Buy it.

kalina

@3ventic L4D's crescendo events are more accurately comparable to Payday 2 for sure

3ventic

@kalina suddenly meaning 10-25 seconds from alarm to a bulldozer sitting on you

Michael Dunfield

@kalina This does sound like something I would be very interested in playing.

So, I've got two guys hanging out in New Tristram -- the Templar and the Scoundrel. Based on what I've read, these are "followers" who can join my party. Thing is, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the to actually join the party. Dialogue options just make them talk. So, how do ...

Kevin van der Velden

@PrivatePansy terrorists! That's who!

kalina

if only the police were more realistic

30-45 minutes to arrive

turn up with 1 person with no firearms

3ventic

@KevinvanderVelden Well, he is an international arms dealer so that statement is correct.

@kalina And the guards would probably sit in the kitchen the whole night drinking coffee and talking about football and what-not

Sterno

I'm telling you, PAYDAY cops are robots

Sterno

It explains why instead of staying behind the cars for cover and shooting at you, they roll into the middle of the street and fire from there.
