@kalina You should do what you are best at!

Arperum

@Blem I am best at doing random games in a really inefficient way. Are you going to pay me so I can live of that?

fredley

@Arperum I'm not going to pay you, but please test my game

kalina

@fredley it's a good question

Arperum

@fredley Can you remember me again this evening? I am supposed to work now.

5pike

@Arperum Write it on a post-it and stick it on your phone

fredley

09:10

@Arperum Probably not but I'll try

kalina

so somebody agreed to migrate one of our customers

Blem

@Arperum no, but I am not paying you for what you are doing now either so your argument is invalid!

kalina

from our own hosting solution to some on premise thing

we don't have N3 connectivity to the site and they won't set us up a VPN or anything

so I'm doing a system migration via Webex, with no credentials of my own to log into anything

and now the customer is complaining it's taking too long

while being afk

preventing me from doing any work

5pike

Well, what did you expect? An understanding and patient customer?

kalina

eh? The customer can't win this

Arperum

09:14

@Blem My current employer doesn't want to pay me for playing games, so since you say I have to do what I do best, I ask you to pay :)

kalina

I'm now going to go help a site that I want to help

and this one can remain half installed

fredley

@Arperum It's a work-safe game

So your employer can in fact pay you to play games

kalina

my employer doesn't pay me to do half of the things I do at work

incidentally, your employer doesn't pay you to sit in internet chatrooms all day either

Arperum

@kalina Shhhh.

kalina

oh it's Friday

well that sneaked up a bit

it's ever since all the TV shows I watch during the week finished

the only day of the week I can identify is Monday because I get to watch Breaking Bad and Dexter

fredley

09:30

thisdoesnotgotoarebeccablackvideo.com

kalina

yes it does

5pike

@fredley You registered a domain, just for that?

fredley

@5pike It was a while ago

5pike

Ah, ok

still

Well, doesn't matter

fredley

Feb 15 at 12:19, by Sterno

It's Friday!

I made @Sterno break his new year's resolution, so it was worth it

5pike

09:34

I guess his new years resolution was not to watch friday?

Arperum

@fredley Did you register that domain, or did you just happen to stumble over it?

5pike

@Arperum Whois says, it's his (I think)

fredley

@Arperum He posted that message linked to that domain

I bought the domain and pointed at RB, breaking his NYR

Private Pansy

@kalina And more importantly, I'm going home

fredley

@5pike Not to link it

5pike

09:36

@fredley You clever bastard

Private Pansy

Right now

Arperum

@fredley Ah, that way. Otherwise I would have suggested a cheaper tld or is .com cheapest in the UK?

fredley

@Arperum .com is very cheap

Private Pansy

And there ain't nothin' you can do 'bout it

fredley

£6 spent on a prank is £6 well spent

5pike

09:39

@Arperum Depends on the registry

And if you can find a voucher

Got a .net domain for 0.5 €

kalina

@PrivatePansy PFFF!

fredley

My game: Now available in white

Arperum

@5pike That's very cheap. .be is always at least €3 because dns.be asks €3 and then you still need to go past a registrar.

5pike

@Arperum Found a voucher on a very dubious site. Apparently it was good.

kalina

@fredley if you spam click that link you get some awesome strobing

fredley

09:44

@kalina PARTY

Considering adding spam-click detection and making it go cray

kalina

watching this muppet try to log into a VM

I'm doomed to spend the rest of my day watching this dribbling idiot try and enter a 25 character password

fredley

@kalina click-spam detection enabled

kalina

awesome, it turns pink

this is now my favourite game

well, kinda pink

fredley

@kalina It turns pinkie pie pink

kalina

it has a weird black object at the bottom of the screen

fredley

09:50

@kalina screencap?

Private Pansy

'Sorry, I left out my glass of water from last night.' OH GOD I APPARENTLY LIVE IN A GARBAGE PIT.

fredley

@PrivatePansy I am the apologiser in this scenario

5pike

@fredley Don't lie, you are a clutterer

fredley

@5pike I am anally tidy

5pike

@fredley Sure....sure...

fredley

09:54

@5pike Everything in its fucking place

kalina

@PrivatePansy I am the clutterer

5pike

@fredley Yeah - the cans are on the can pile, the magazines are on the old-magazines pile ....

Blem

fredley

@5pike Nope. I am the opposite of a hoarder, I obsessively get rid of things I don't feel I need

I overreach in this respect, and sometimes get rid of stuff I actually probably still did need

kalina

I have a cupboard full of computer parts

and then a cupboard full of computer cases

and then a cupboard full of vinyl records

and then a cupboard full of cupboards

fredley

09:56

@kalina Hipster

kalina

@fredley you'd never say that if you knew the genre of the music

certainly not hipster

5pike

@kalina you probably never heard of it, though

kalina

also, "hipster" is only something that applies south of watford gap

the rest of us are normal people

fredley

Doesn't matter, still hipster. And I can imagine the genre

kalina

@5pike eh, the genres of my records are uk hardcore, hard dance, hard trance, old trance, breakbeat trance, drum and bass, dubstep, tech house

Blem

09:58

5pike

@kalina Sounds interesting

kalina

@5pike totally, the reason I like making it all go to shit in Payday 2 is because whenever I do I'm rewarded with dubstep

5pike

@kalina Payday has freaking good music

1 and 2

kalina

yeah but you only get the silly ambient stuff if you stealth

5pike

@kalina I think you'd also like the music of hotline miami

5pike

10:10

fredley

@5pike I don't want to smell of internet

kalina

@fredley stuck loading indefinitely

fredley

@kalina Yeah I'm adding more stuff, not surprised

Because why not have dev, test and production environments all the same?

kalina

@fredley small windows results in overlapping copyright notice

fredley

@kalina Nobody has windows that small shut up

kalina

10:13

I just did

it looks horrible

also, you just did the typical developer "why would they DO THAT?" thing

answer: YOU LET THEM, YOU ARE A BAD PERSON

fredley

@kalina screencap

kalina

@fredley is this a joke?

fredley

@kalina send photo

kalina

just make your browser window smaller

DON'T ASK ME WHAT VERSION I'M RUNNING

I WILL SET FIRE TO YOU

fredley

@kalina Doesn't overlap functional parts

kalina

10:15

depends how small your window is

fredley

@kalina Mine is massive

kalina

@fredley I'm not joining in this conversation, I got in trouble for talking about loading animations yesterday

bored of the ridiculous double standards exhibited by people in here

fredley

@kalina You got told off for posting throbbers

kalina

@fredley I got mobbed by multiple mods who don't ever come in here with threats over using a word

fredley

@kalina Outside mods are bad mods

kalina

10:20

when anybody else would have been left alone

You can't allow innuendo from everybody else and then cry like a bitch when I do it

that is double standards.

@fredley also, I didn't actually post a single one

Q: Random person encounter

In GTA 4, you could encounter random people, who would give you small side missions along side the main story line. You would encounter these people throughout the game. You could spot these on the mini-map radar looking like a small man. These missions where are nice break to the main story lin...

grand-theft-auto-5

fredley

@kalina eh, I wasn't there

kalina

@fredley I know, that's why you're not on ignore

fredley

@kalina Oh dear

kalina

with any luck, everybody I ignored also ignored me, = no more problems

fredley

10:26

Shit, there's competition

kalina

old!

candybox 2 will probably be a bigger game too

fredley

@kalina Yeh

Arperum

@fredley the bug where you can buy brick breaker with less then 50 coins is still there!

kalina

the bug where if you make the window really small the person who wrote teh games name appears over the top of everything, it's still there

the bug with the bug that's a bug is still bugged

bugs 2: the new batch

fredley

@Arperum Oh, didn't know of this bug...?

@kalina ALRIGHT ALRIGHT

5pike

10:32

@fredley told you yesterday

fredley

@5pike Oh missed that

kalina

did you implement fire proof armour yet?

Arperum

23 hours ago, by Arperum

I tried purchasing the "insert 50 coins" thing with 30 coins in possesion, it succeeded.

fredley

@Arperum Button shouldn't even show up unless you have 50...

@kalina Not yet, your fireyness is on this list though

kalina

FIRE PROOF ARMOUR

inb4 "how do I kill kalina?"

Arperum

10:37

@fredley Shows up on thirty. and it costs thirty

fredley

@Arperum ok

@Arperum Should be fixed now

kalina

this is the side effect of testing the game with cheats

Arperum

@fredley is there some way aside from starting new to get rid of a couple "upgrades"? more specifically the more asteroids one. I can barely do anything anymore because too many asteroids and not enough bullets

fredley

@Arperum No :-P

kalina

I highlighted this particular issue like a month ago

Arperum

10:42

Is there some way to see what upgrades you got? Or is looking in firebug needed for that?

kalina

the solution is to not pick up A's

Arperum

@kalina I'm stupid like that.

I always think just after the bullet is shot "Shit, I shouldn't have done that."

Blem

kalina

@fredley did you change brick breaker to 30 coins?

fredley

@kalina Yes

kalina

10:45

god you're more like Blizzard than you know

fredley

@Arperum I'm building an inventory now

kalina

nerfing a perfectly hard game and making it easy

fredley

@kalina FINE

Just think 50 makes the early game a little slow

kalina

dangle that carrot of grinding in front of me and then replace it at the last moment

fredley

@kalina Most people don't like grinding

kalina

10:45

you need to grind AA to get the super leet upgrades in order to do CC/DD

Sterno

Double standards are twice as good as regular standards.

kalina

@Sterno no, they're not

not if you're on the receiving end

@fredley FINE

Sterno

Also, I guess I might as well start linking RB again now.

2

Grace Note

@fredley Speaking of which, is CC better to get candy in than AA yet?

kalina

@fredley I will point out that based on the number of hours these "people that don't like grinding" put into similar games that you're wrong

Blem

10:47

fredley

@GraceNote I've upped the candy rate in CC considerably, and tied it to your overall multiplier

@kalina Ok fine!

kalina

weird

@fredley if you craft something

half of the recipes will clear the grid afterwards

and the other half don't

Grace Note

@fredley Shiny.

kalina

examples: Blocks don't, Coin multipliers do

fredley

@kalina It's to do with whether you have enough raw ingredients to craft again

Arperum

10:48

@fredley is there going to be some upgrade that shows negative bonuses in non-white? or positive in some other color?

kalina

you should make it so the background colour is a game mechanic

black background = powerups you pick up increase your stats

white background = powerups you pick up decrease your stats

fredley

@Arperum No, bonuses aren't intrinsically negative

kalina

pink = godmode

fredley

@kalina No

Sterno

@kalina I can understand people saying "okay, she made at joke like 10 times already, I'm bored of it" but I can't for the life of me understand "I'd better get a mod in here to make her stop". I mean, it's not like anything you said was less SFW than the language any of us use when complaining about EA. Or pony pics."

kalina

10:49

aww :(

@Sterno It's fine, the users and mods in question are all on ignore now

spyder

Arperum

So now there is a game of finding out who is on ignore for @kalina

kalina

@Arperum about 20% of the channel

depending on how many beta mods from pointless SE sites decide to turn up and make threats

the it can rise up a bit more

spyder

kalina

pink is the correct colour for weapons of mass destruction

spyder

10:53

Oh, shi~~. I don't remember name of this battlemech

Blem

spyder

@Blem pinkmarines ;)

kalina

pink hello kitty space marines?

Blem

yea

fredley

@kalina Why not?

kalina

10:55

@fredley I have no issue with it

fredley

Better:

kalina

I would almost be interested in playing such a game with all my minions painted pink

fredley

kalina

pinkie pie marines sound even better

fredley

@kalina PARTY CANNON

5pike

11:01

@fredley One could earn top-dollar selling those...

fredley

@5pike Doubt it, it's not custom modding, just a good paint job afaict

5pike

@fredley And that's enough

fredley

@5pike Really? Didn't know there was much of a market for this kind of stuff

I mean the paint job is good but it's not great

Sterno

I hate ponies, but crushing your opponent with such an army would be worth it.

5pike

I don't play warhammer, but I can imagine someone, that isn't very good at painting the figures, would buy a set,

fredley

11:05

Hmmm, what ascii art should I have in the inventory? It's just going to be a list of objects but I want something decorative

5pike

@fredley Mhhh...some sort of stockpile? or a backpack?

Grace Note

@fredley Put a pile of objects, namely - a small rock, a brick, a piece of candy, and a sword.

fredley

@GraceNote I'll try that

@GraceNote Hard in ascii but I'll have a go

Sterno

My daughter is wearing Spider-man PJs. Happiest dad ever!

kalina

@Sterno you haven't got her MLP PJs?

Sterno

11:11

What kind of horrible parent do you think I am?

kalina

@fredley this is more like it

Grace Note

MLPJs

5pike

@kalina Boy, that reminds me of something horrible....

kalina

@GraceNote yes!

every little girl should have MLPJs

Sterno

That said, if she ever asks for some, I will get her some.

kalina

11:13

"Daddy I want pyjamas that make me look like I'm on fire"

when it happens, don't blame me.

spyder

11:23

@fredley wut?

Grace Note

@spyder Inventory ASCII art.

spyder

@GraceNote I cannot understand what is drawn

fredley

@spyder Piles of dust, candy and bricks, with a sword and shield

spyder

@fredley this is sword? O_o

Grace Note

@spyder Leftmost item is a shilef, next to it is a sword, beneath the sword is a pile of candies, to the right of the candies is a bunch of bricks, the leftmost is a pile of rock dust.

fredley

11:24

@spyder It's more of a katana I guess

Grace Note

@spyder Turned to a side, yes

fredley

I didn't want the sword sticking straight up, and slanted swords are challenging in ASCII

Grace Note

It's foreshortening, the ASCII way.

Arperum

@GraceNote Shilefs are awesome.

spyder

Shield... Sword...

shield > sword

Grace Note

11:35

@Arperum They are.

fredley

@spyder That guy is terrible at swords anyway

He's using it more like a club than a sword
