13:00

oh I closed the page, fuck that noise

kalina

@PrivatePansy is this supposed to be pinkie pie?

RedRiderX

@PrivatePansy Well the story goes that spiders drink from your eyes while you sleep. Sorrow-spiders bite off a whole eye. They get their name from the tears that flow from the remaining eye.

Wipqozn

but it was the "Kill a Pit Bull Day" hoax

snopes.com/critters/cruelty/pitbull.asp

she fell for it

I was like FFFUUU

RedRiderX

Quite simple, really.

Wipqozn

Yes, people are going to be going around rounding up and killing dogs on Halloween.

RedRiderX

13:00

@PrivatePansy You were pretty close.

Wipqozn

That's totally believable.

Private Pansy

@kalina Suppose, yes. Also, I think they only get butt tattoos on one side

Sterno

I would totally kill the pitbull next door if I could make it look like an accident and get away clean. That thing never stops barking.

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka What do you mean?

kalina

@Sterno While I don't get on with animals at all, this is horrible

Q: View remaining stamina

So we know that as when you sprint the stamina 'amount' decreases, what I'd like to know is if there's a way to see the amount of stamina they have left before they hit their 'limit' and it starts deducting health? Is there anything the character does to give a clue it might be getting low?

grand-theft-auto-5

Grace Note

@Wipqozn Is there any visual difference (flash, special animation, etc) between striking the right zone versus the wrong zone.

Sterno

@kalina Dogs that never stop barking are indeed horrible!

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn If you're hitting a hitzone that does good/bad damage for your weapon type is there a way to tell?

kalina

@Sterno ... killing them is horrible

except spiders

and wasps

Sterno

and humans who aren't on fire

kalina

13:02

and, well... most insects

mice

Wipqozn

@GraceNote my confusion was right right and wrong. Nice try though. MAYBE NEXT TIME MISS NOTE.

kalina

rats

in fact my list of animals to murder is quite long

but it doesn't include cats or dogs

Grace Note

@Wipqozn Two rights don't override a wrong, I take it?

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka Ah, okay. To be honest I'm not sure. I don't think so... but I also thought I remember someone saying before on that there internet there was. In anycase, the mystical magical internet has all the hitzones posted.

OrigamiRobot

@kalina I am doing this regardless.

Wipqozn

13:04

This site is what @OrigamiRobot, @fbueckert and I use @BenBrocka

Sterno

Cats are okay, unless they're on the other side of the patio door from your cat and both are screeching like crazy. However, spraying them with a hose fixes that.

Wipqozn

Contains information on everything in the game, including monster hitzones.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot I don't like you anymore

Sterno

Nothing, however, stops the neighbor's dog from barking all night long if the neighbor themself doesn't do it.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn ALREADY LINKED IN MH3U

Wipqozn

13:04

@GraceNote They just make the wrong even more wrong.

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Do too.

kalina

@Sterno I don't get on with cats or dogs, they can sense my inner evil

Sterno

However, I see your point. I underlying problem is the neighbor's lack of action. I could kill the neighbor instead.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot no, you made me very sad yesterday

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Yes, but I'm just so pretty!

kalina

13:04

I couldn't aim straight for hours

@Sterno definitely more suitable

free the dog, burn down the house

OrigamiRobot

@kalina There's medication for that.

kalina

make it look like your neighbour fell asleep with a cigarette or something

Sterno

Also, the neighbor never cleans up the dog poop.

kalina

eww

@OrigamiRobot cocaine

5pike

@Sterno Call PETA - animal abuse

kalina

13:06

@5pike PETA...

Wipqozn

@Sterno That's different then killing all dogs though. Just because they're dogs. That's racist is what that is.

Also it's a hoax.

OrigamiRobot

@5pike PETA is the crazy one. I think you mean the ASPCA

Arperum

@5pike PETA is a bunch of idiots most of the time.

Sterno

I don't think leaving dog dooks in your yard is animal abuse. it's neighbor abuse, since it's a shared lawn that my daughter plays in

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Yes, this one.

PETA is run by insane people, and therefore attracts more insane people.

SPCA is the one that actually wants to help animals.

5pike

13:06

@OrigamiRobot I only know PETA (because they are pants-on-head retarded)

kalina

SCIENTOLOGY VS PETA for most crazies

PETA WINS!

Sterno

I don't know about that.

Arperum

@Wipqozn AND it is aimed at being a hoax for oct 31 2012

kalina

they're both pretty retarded groups

Sterno

At least PETA's craziness comes from the standpoint of "We want animals to be happy and free and whatever"

Wipqozn

13:07

@Sterno Call the Human version of the SPCA then.

Sterno

Scientology is just... I don't even know what.

Wipqozn

Scientology comes from the standpoint of we want a lot of money and there are a lot of dumb people willing to give it to us.

Sterno

It's like my friend who is convinced that the government loads chemicals into planes to pump into the atmosphere. Chemtrails!

5pike

@Wipqozn Summed up perfectly

Wipqozn

The religion was made up by a science fiction writer. Who wrote in the past about making up a fake religion for money.

Arperum

13:08

@Sterno We should really get them pitted together and let them fight to the death. And feed the dead to some lions or something.

Wipqozn

@Arperum I like the way you think.

We should toss @Sterno's neighour to the lions too.

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno Scientology puts on a facade of crazy to get money. PETA actually thinks its crazy is helping animals. I vote PETA for most crazy.

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn so if you guys helped me get better gear would that make the starting game less grindy or would it completely ruin the starting quests or what?

Sterno

BRB, building a coliseum.

5pike

someone get some lions

Arperum

13:09

@Wipqozn The survivors will then be used to learn a couple orca's tricks.

Sterno

OH DEAR GOD WHAT IS THE SPELLING

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka It would, but the game is pretty grindy all together. The basic idea is you fight giants monsters so you can make weapons from their body parts to kill more giant monsters. Since it's heavily skilled based it's a lot of fun.

Ben Brocka

James Pond is back you guys!!!!!!!!! You know, that one. Surely you remember

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka It's a double edged sword. You get less grind, but you don't wanna just jump into higher ranks.

kalina

@BenBrocka James... Pond?

Wipqozn

13:10

We can breeze you through the low-rank monster quests. If all four of us jumped on we'd be able to breeze hrough the low-rank hunt quests in a minute or less each.

fredley

@BenBrocka Nope

kalina

@OrigamiRobot which game are you talking about?

Ben Brocka

@kalina Most notable for having level backgrounds like infinite bears

fredley

Also POSTING KICKSTARTER LINKS IS WORSE THAN TVTROPES LINKS GODDAMIT

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Monster Hunter

kalina

13:11

@OrigamiRobot ewww

Wipqozn

Also, game is divded into three ranks, which you could think of as difficulty levels. Low, High, and G. Monsters are more difficult at higher ranks, and some monsters can only be fought in Higher ranks (@BenBrocka)

kalina

and I was secretly hoping you were talking about payday 2

Ben Brocka

Does the Wii U have standby downloading? I think the Wii did

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Even one of us tagging along could do this.

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn They're difficulty levels the same way Normal, Nightmare, and Hell are in Diablo.

Wipqozn

13:12

@StrixVaria That's the best way to put it.

Good job @StrixVaria! You're like some sort of hero./

kalina

@BenBrocka oh right, the last James Pond game was released as I was born

that's why I haven't a clue

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka I think so. Pretty sure ti does. I remember seeing a message about it at some point. I think. Maybe.

Ben Brocka

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka What in the fuck...?

Ben Brocka

It's pretty weird

Sterno

13:13

PAYDAY 2 DLC: "Silence the dog"

Wipqozn

I blame the government.

Ben Brocka

I have no idea if they have the sort of cult following that would give them 100,000 pounds

Sterno

He's got a diamond studded collar, to make you feel okay about it.

Ben Brocka

I kind of doubt it, since Shantae is only slowly getting a few times that and they're much more popular as far as I can tell

fbueckert

Good morning, Bridge

Ben Brocka

13:14

TBH I'd pitch in for a Bubsy game though, Bubsy 2 was actually really fun

Sterno

@fbueckert Demonstrably false.

fredley

Not gonna lie, James Pond looks like a terrible game

Wipqozn

Bubsy wsa the one with the cat, right?

fbueckert

@Sterno Demonstrably true.

5pike

@Wipqozn yeah

Ben Brocka

13:15

@fredley I appreciate the acid trip level design

5pike

bobcat

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn What could pawsibly go wrong?

Wipqozn

I played it at a friends house at times. Back when I was a wee little one.

Ben Brocka

In the first game you got 9 lives to start with and I still had trouble beating the first "world" of 2? levels

Wipqozn

So young and naive. FILLED WITH HOPES DREAMS TO FILL A STADIUM.

Ben Brocka

13:16

Bubsy 2 was much more forgiving and fair

kalina

@Sterno there are going to be 5 dlc, in addition to a bunch of free patches with new heists in them, silencing the dog could happen!

Ben Brocka

In bubsy 1 everything killed you. It was like sonic with more instadeath

kalina

obviously how you deal with the mission will be based on your skills, whether you use the OVE9000 saw or C4 or shoot with a silenced pistol

5pike

@BenBrocka It definitely tried to cash into the sonic craze

Ben Brocka

It actually played a lot like sonic with much more of the "if you go fast you will die"

(which everyone LOVES about sonic btw)

@5pike Yeah; second game was more unique and a lot more fun to play as a result. I'm not sure anyone remembers it though, just the first game which wasn't nearly as good

5pike

13:18

@BenBrocka Didn't play it, just saw bunch of videos

Also: Bubsy 3d has got to be one of the worst games ever....

at least on ps1

Ben Brocka

Oh yeah I heard of that but never saw it on a PS1

lots of early PS1/3D games didn't know WTF they were doing

5pike

@BenBrocka There should be tons of videos on youtube

The one from jontron is rather enjoyable...

Ben Brocka

Jumping Flash is probably one of the few notable PS1 3D games that works well with no analog stick

Xbox One not designed to work vertically http://sbn.to/1aYMe92

Oh joy

5pike

That's just lame

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka Wasn't the previous one designed to wrk that way?

Ben Brocka

13:21

Oh I guess it's not a heat issue

@Wipqozn Pretty much exclusively, yes

I'm not sure I've ever seen a promo product shot of the 360 with it horizontal

I don't like keeping the "hot" (currently the PS3) consoles inside my entertainment center so I keep them to the side and vertical

Wipqozn

The PS3 was also vertical right?

Or could support vertical anyways

5pike

@Wipqozn It could support it, yes

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn It was either way, supports it for sure

PS4 has a vertical stand (not wide enough to do it otherwise I think)

Wipqozn

So there really isn't any reason for the XBONE to not support it outside of either laziness or poor design.

Ben Brocka

though the new slim is probably meant to be horizontal only because of the weirdass slidy-door thing

5pike

13:24

@Wipqozn They might want to sell a "super special stand"

Ben Brocka

the superslim is dumb btw

Sterno

My laptop operates while dangling from a rope and spinning in a circle. Consoles should do that too.

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria @spugsley insists her new stuff is awful. Tell her she's wrong.

Ben Brocka

@Sterno I hope it's not an HDD

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot If I tell her she's right she'd probably change her opinion just to disagree with me.

StrixVaria

13:24

@OrigamiRobot She hasn't been in chat recently enough to ping.

Ben Brocka

@5pike From the article it sounds like the disk tray is the problem

StrixVaria

Tell her I said she's wrong.

Sterno

@BenBrocka I use SSD. I am not a luddite.

Ben Brocka

@Sterno Then yeah those you can do pretty much anything with. Only moving part in my laptop is the (shitty) fan

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria I think you need to refresh

StrixVaria

13:26

@OrigamiRobot Nope, her name isn't auto-completing.

OrigamiRobot

Huh, it did for me

Private Pansy

Autocompletes for me but I haven't exactly closed this tab in a long while.

5pike

@PrivatePansy Too many words

Private Pansy

13:29

@5pike Indeed! Cheers, to many words, and other types of long form writing

Ben Brocka

> The reaction, then, had nothing to do with hipsters. It was a hatred of people that need to stand out for standing-out's sake.

fredley

@PrivatePansy Read that this morning. Good read.

Ben Brocka

Isn't...isn't that exactly why a great deal of people dislike "hipsters"?

Sterno

@PrivatePansy Just that picture makes me cringe.

fredley

@MichaelDunfield Lol

Michael Dunfield

13:30

Looks dumb enough that I might grab it in this

5pike

Yeah - home time. See you guys/girls later...

John

@Ullallulloo Can confirm, I was pinged.

And I would totally do that >.>

RedRiderX

@BenBrocka But it isn't an immediately obvious mental leap for people who aren't as well versed in the hipster meme.

Q: Is Zhang always psychic?

Slingshot's Shaojie Zhang turned out to be psychic on my first playthrough. Is that always the case or was I just lucky?

xcom-enemy-unknown

Me? A psychic? Why, I'm flattered...

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka And to be smug about it.

Unionhawk

Good morning Bridge

OrigamiRobot

@Unionhawk No, it's not.

Mornings are never good.

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot Fine!

OrigamiRobot

It's not a fine morning either.

Unionhawk

13:53

...

OrigamiRobot

Today is payday. I need to not spend it all on MtG cards.

fbueckert

@Unionhawk G'morning.

Michael Dunfield

RouteNote partnered with YouTube

fredley

@OrigamiRobot An entire paychecksworth of MtG would be a lot...

OrigamiRobot

@fredley A lot of cards? Depends on what you get.

fredley

13:56

@OrigamiRobot ALOT OF CARDS

Wipqozn

I like mornings.

Sterno

Depends on the paycheck, too.
