And to be fair, I don't think "What is the population of the city the game is set in?" is "beyond the context of the story and its material"

@Sterno I agree.

@fbueckert petakillsanimals.com

fredley

@SaintWacko Honestly, all you're doing otherwise is waiting.

Wipqozn

I don't think it's a useful question, but it is within the scope of the site I'd say.

fredley

@SaintWacko Play a game of skill instead

fbueckert

@Sterno In the context of, "I want to murder the entire city. How many people are there?", yeah, it can be allowed. In fact, I'd happily support it in that fashion.

Ben Brocka

fbueckert

15:01

Mostly because the answer is going to be, "Good luck with that. It won't happen, because more people will keep spawning."

SaintWacko

@FBUECKERT SUPPORTS MURDER: DATA ACCEPTED

Ben Brocka

My favorite is the "characters on a standard english keyboard" requirement

kalina

@BenBrocka how ugly is this

@BenBrocka English (US), don't forget

fbueckert

@SaintWacko Of course. Isn't that one of the primary duties of a Marshal?

kalina

you don't have a £ do you?

Ben Brocka

15:03

£ doesn't exist

I wonder if they know people with any keyboard can use alt codes

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka hAHA

kalina

•

I set my password to 8 bullet points

7

so it looks the same regardless of where I type it

Powerlord

@kalina I do! Oh wait, you mean on the keyboard?

fredley

@kalina ••••••••

Powerlord

@fredley That's just bull.

kalina

15:04

@fredley silly web developer, get back under a rock

Powerlord

Yeah & stay there, too!

kalina

@Powerlord +1

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Depends. I actually haven't figured out how to input alt codes on this keyboard, which is no end of confusion and frustration to me.

SaintWacko

@Powerlord Well played

Wipqozn

yessss, boomerang get!

SaintWacko

15:05

@GraceNote What's special about your keyboard?

fredley

@kalina Web Devs > Whatever the hell you are

Powerlord

@Wipqozn I hope you're not playing Wind Waker HD

SaintWacko

@Wipqozn Where?

OrigamiRobot

Wipqozn

@Powerlord Oracle of Seasons. And why are yoiu hoping I'm not playing Wind Waker HD?

Ben Brocka

15:06

@GraceNote You have to use the stupid fail filled numpad

Jason Berkan

My university CS password could not contain any dictionary word. The problem was that they included all dictionary words, including a, I and so on.

Powerlord

@Wipqozn Because that'd mean you were st... smart enough to buy a Wii U

Ben Brocka

I could'nt figure them out either until I learned that

fbueckert

@Powerlord We already bought one.

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Well, yes, that's how it always has to be done, innit?

fbueckert

15:06

Specifically for Monster Hunter.

Ben Brocka

@JasonBerkan hahaha

Wipqozn

@Powerlord I've put over 450 hours into my WiiU, so I've got my moneys worth.

err, into monster hunter

I've put more than that int my wiiu

pikmin 3 and mario

Grace Note

Problem is, perhaps because it's a wireless keyboard attached to a laptop, it doesn't really like the numpad enough to actually allow alt codes to work.

Wipqozn

also your mom, oh buurrrn

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote One of tons of reasons it should juse use "numbers" not "the numpad keys"

Powerlord

15:08

@Wipqozn After playing the original New Super Mario Bros. and realizing that it was nowhere near as good as the earlier 2D mario games, I just skipped New Super Mario Bros. Wii, 2, and U

For that matter, Super Mario Bros. 3D Land just... doesn't seem right after playing Galaxy 1 and 2.

@kalina You're in to nuclear bondage?! :O

with me?

and perhaps others?

@kalina Sure, ping me when you're starting

kalina

@fredley will you please just shut your face for 10 seconds?

fredley

@kalina You cry about everything, but can't decide what you want

kalina

15:10

@fredley I can't say the next line, I'm so guilty of it

fredley

@kalina This is true

kalina

also with the number of crybabies in this channel I don't think it's a good idea for us to exhibit signs of having fun

fredley

@kalina -fun

kalina

especially since they like you, so it will only be me that gets banned again

3ventic

Who wouldn't like a pork chop?

kalina

15:12

he's a minecraft player

there's a whole list of reasons why you wouldn't

primarily being: he's a minecraft player

fredley

@kalina This site will primarily be about Minecraft in 2 weeks

kalina

@fredley "primarily" != having the most questions asked

especially since being the #1 tag is only 7% of our total questions

Ben Brocka

@kalina especially not when many of us have ignored many/most of the top tags

kalina

you know, I've never ignored a tag

Ben Brocka

It is bliss

kalina

15:15

I should put minecraft on ignore

Powerlord

I ignored minecraft in the past.

Ben Brocka

Ignorance (of tags) is bliss

kalina

since I'm never going to play it

fredley

@kalina 7% is alot

@kalina You're too scared

kalina

@fredley er, right

3ventic

15:16

I've ignored one tag and you can't guess it.

fredley

@kalina You'd enjoy it too much

kalina

@3ventic payday-2

Ben Brocka

I've ignored all of the top 5 tags

kalina

@fredley I wouldn't

Powerlord

For that matter, even now I have an ignore on code-golf and project-euler on SO

fredley

15:16

@kalina Would

3ventic

@kalina That would be too obvious

kalina

@fredley I really wouldn't

:11316877 premature anything is always awful

fredley

@kalina Would

kalina

@fredley I will never play Minecraft

Powerlord

@kalina Same here, but also add Terraria to that.

kalina

15:18

what the hell is terraria

3ventic

It's a 2D adventure sandbox

It's a ton of fun

Powerlord

Terraria

Terraria is an action-adventure/RPG indie game, released by independent game studio Re-Logic, available via Steam, Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, Android and iOS. The game features exploration, crafting, construction, and combat with a variety of creatures in a randomly generated 2-D world. Released for PCs on May 16, 2011, the game is estimated to have sold about 50,000 copies during its first day of release, with over 17,000 players online at the same time during the first day's peak. 200,000 copies of the game were sold, making it the top-selling game on Steam for the week, ahead ...

fredley

@kalina Minecraft with less dimensions

Powerlord

It's basically the 2D version of Minecraft

kalina

great

I'm never playing any game that @fredley played first

3ventic

15:19

That was true when it first came out, now it has a much bigger focus on adventure and combat while minecraft has a bigger focus on building..

Ronan Forman

It's really not, it's just similar to minecraft, in no way is it the same game.

Powerlord

Also, why am I the only person other than @Shiester who thinks Bacon is a good bargaining tool?

kalina

because you're strange

3ventic

Too bad Terraria is an XNA game though

fredley

@kalina I played PayDay 2 before you, but didn't like it.

kalina

15:20

@fredley proof required

fredley

@kalina Proof is it's a terrible game

Ben Brocka

@3ventic Yeah, it makes it a very different game

Powerlord

You know, the Steam family sharing thing would be great if I didn't play so much TF2.

fredley

@kalina I intend to hold you to this. Next game you're excited about, I will beat you to it.

Powerlord

I could share all the games I have including the ones I hate.

kalina

15:20

@fredley wrong, I checked on Steam, you're not on the list of people who play it

3ventic

@Powerlord TF2 is free-to-play, make another account?

fredley

@kalina Steam privacy settings

kalina

@fredley I will never tell you games I want to play before I play them

Powerlord

@3ventic Yes, because I should clearly toss out the 4000 hours I've clocked in it.

kalina

@fredley yes, I have people on my list with privacy settings like mine, they still show up in the list of people who play it

therefore you're lying to me

A: Can I withdraw my Battle.Net account Balance into Paypal?

This sucks. As usual it's all about Blizzard making money. I have way too much money in my account in an attempt to purchase one of the items at auction house. I'm calling credit card company to cancel these charges.

Besides which, I've used backpack expanders on my main account.

Q: What are the ways to cash out my earnings in the auction house?

I read that Blizzard allows to cash out the earnings from the auction house, instead of just allowing you to fund your Battle.net wallet with them (or get in-game gold). I'm assuming you can do it with PayPal, but I may be wrong. What are all the ways to cash out to real life? If there are regi...

@SaintWacko This made me think...what should we do with all the AH questions once it's retired?

Just leave them?

@SaintWacko Close this as too localized since the RMAH is closing soon. :P

kalina

I've only just realised that jmfsg has wreck it ralph as his avatar

@Powerlord we don't TL before an event, l2stackexchange

SaintWacko

@StrixVaria Burn them. Burn them all.

fredley

@kalina Well noticed.

fbueckert

@StrixVaria Have to.

3ventic

@SaintWacko Dupes with totally opposite accepted+upvoted answers? That seems odd.

StrixVaria

15:23

@SaintWacko Well compare to City of Heroes.

I think we left those questions alone.

We never know if they'll bring the AH back.

And it's a lot of overhead to go back through to maintain.

Michael Dunfield

Aaaaahahhh I got to the last sector in FTL and died

Q: I have my own minecraft server with hamachi, and it says bad login when I login

I Have a minecraft that isn't from Minecraft.net I have the illegal version, (I guess) My friend says that the louncher he downloaded is illegal and so do I :( help? I am really hoping that it's not just for the LEGAL version :(

minecraft

Minecrafters: is this piracy support?

kalina

@MichaelDunfield what you need to do, is make all the fights in the first couple of sectors last forever

Michael Dunfield

@fbueckert "I have the illegal version"

kalina

so that you can level up your guys by repairing stuff etc

and then get the teleporter

and enter the last zone

teleport onto the ship into 3 out of 4 of the weapons rooms

Michael Dunfield

Oh, repairing is how you level them up?

kalina

blow up the weapons (which don't get fixed)

no

performing <action> lots levels them up

operating the shields will give xp when you take shield damage

Michael Dunfield

15:25

And yeah I was teleporting into the weapon rooms. But when the flagshiup jumped away it took a bunch of my crew with it and the weapons were repaird next time I encountered it

kalina

repairing will give xp when you repair damage

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot That doesn't really make sense either.

3ventic

> I Have a minecraft that isn't from Minecraft.net I have the illegal version,

kalina

firing the weapons will give xp when you fire weapons

StrixVaria

Closed questions automatically get deleted nowadays.

3ventic

15:25

That's saying he pirated it, yes.

StrixVaria

Unless they're dupes.

kalina

helm control gives xp when you're shot at

Michael Dunfield

@kalina Oh. nice.

kalina

(evasive)

fredley

@fbueckert SHUT IT DOWN

fbueckert

15:26

@3ventic Yeah, but I'm wondering if this behaviour happens with legal versions, too.

kalina

so if you make the early encounters last as long as possible

Michael Dunfield

@kalina They get fixed when it jumps away though.

kalina

you can level all your guys up to level 2 in stuff

Michael Dunfield

I had a chance until it jumped. I didn't know it was going to do that. Lost my four best boarders.

kalina

@MichaelDunfield wrong, the four weapons that have their own rooms with no entrances don't get fixed

fbueckert

15:26

@fredley Works for me.

kalina

BUT do not blow up all four weapons and do not kill everybody on the ship

Michael Dunfield

@kalina I broke three of them, and then the flagship jumped away. When I found it again they were all operational.

Q: Skyrim Mac Mouse Simultaneous Click

I recently picked Skyrim on my Mac and I can't double cast or bash with my shield, because those actions require a simultaneous click.

skyrim os-x mouse

3ventic

@fbueckert It seems like a dupe of gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/50820/… anyway

kalina

if you kill everybody, a super aggressive AI takes control and owns you

@MichaelDunfield weird, I wonder if they patched it?

Michael Dunfield

15:27

@kalina Oh, is that like a special event?

kalina

@MichaelDunfield more like a pain in the behind event

Michael Dunfield

@kalina Well, all three were operational, because I broke one of them off in the fight.

@kalina Maybe? My crew were also gone. =[

kalina

@MichaelDunfield I'm sure there's an actual question that deals specifically with tactics for the last boss

Michael Dunfield

I had 8 crew too. Four Engis, three humans and a Mantis

Lost everyone but the Engis when the flagship jumped

kalina

I prefer mantis and rock people crews

but engis are nice for repairing

Michael Dunfield

15:28

Rock people are my favourite. Only reason I had the mantis was because I rescued him from Engis, didn't see any opportunities for hiring people

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria That's what we did before, IIRC.

Michael Dunfield

I want to get some more of the ships but I keep missing the events you need to unlock them

I only have 2.

kalina

my favourite ship is the federation ship with the built in beam weapon

OrigamiRobot

@kalina plays FTL? swoon

kalina

I played and completed FTL months before you even got around to it

Michael Dunfield

15:30

Also I only had the starting kestrel weapons and I ran out of drones and missiles

OrigamiRobot

That's not hard to do.

Michael Dunfield

@kalina Sorry for not being able to afford it before

kalina

@MichaelDunfield not you, the robot

Michael Dunfield

Oh.

Wipqozn

@MichaelDunfield How's your job going?

kalina

15:31

swooning over me playing a game he played

like we don't do that every single day

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice must have me on ignore. yessssssssssssssss

Michael Dunfield

@Wipqozn Blugh, client didn't get back to us at all yesterday and then today they send in a thing where they want a bunch of stuff I don't have assets for, so my contract is going to have to get extended again

OrigamiRobot

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Wipqozn

15:31

@MichaelDunfield Man, all that extra money must suck.

Michael Dunfield

@Wipqozn Yeah, tell me about it

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn Exactly. Contract extensions are celebrated at my company.

kalina

extra money is always awesome

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Money for MtG

kalina

@OrigamiRobot you're an addict

seek help

OrigamiRobot

15:32

Of course I am

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Money for house payments.

And other, niggly things called bills.

Sterno

@StrixVaria Leave them around because who the hell cares?

kalina

Money for MLP

OrigamiRobot

I am spending $120 on 6 prereleases this weekend.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot wait, what?

you're spending $120 on 6 small pieces of card?

OrigamiRobot

15:33

@fbueckert That's not what extra money means.

Sterno

I spent $120 on ones and zeros

OrigamiRobot

@kalina No, 6 events.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Depends on your definition of extra.

Powerlord

I spent bacon on stomach.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot @Gnomeslice would never ignore you, @OrigamiRobot. He loves you. You guys are like brothers.

OrigamiRobot

15:34

@fbueckert Extra = After bills

Powerlord

Wait, that's not how spending works.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot are you using the word event to describe something other than its dictionary definition?

fbueckert

If it's, "More than I used to make", with more being defined as 0, then, yeah.

SaintWacko

One more close vote needed

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot It is amusing to me that so many people in here are giving you grief about spending money on MtG

Michael Dunfield

15:34

@kalina If I just sit and don't shoot at a ship who can't hurt me through my shield, will my pilot get a ton of XP?

OrigamiRobot

@kalina No?

kalina

@MichaelDunfield pilot, engine dude, shield operator

Michael Dunfield

Sick

kalina

@OrigamiRobot mk

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot That definition I definitely agree with.

Michael Dunfield

15:34

Thanks for the tip

Powerlord

@SaintWacko Really? Whom are the candidates in this vote?

Michael Dunfield

I'm guessing the little stars over my crew icon at the bottom show their level?

kalina

@MichaelDunfield if you're that confident, you could turn off your shields and let yourself take damage and then turn them back on and repair it

Michael Dunfield

I was wondering what those were

kalina

yes

green = level 1, yellow = level 2

SaintWacko

15:35

@Powerlord -.-

Sterno

The levelups don't really feel worth putting in the time "grinding" their skills up though

StrixVaria

@Sterno That's what I want.

OrigamiRobot

@kalina One Sealed event is 6 packs. You have 1 hour to build a 40 card deck from those packs. Then you play 3 matches. Matches are best of 3 games. You get 1 pack per match win.

Sterno

@StrixVaria We are soulmates.

Powerlord

@SaintWacko See? Now the context has less ambiguity.

SaintWacko

15:37

@Powerlord Your context has ambiguity

grumble

OrigamiRobot

I will be doing that 6 times.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot Do you trade with others during that hour?

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno shrug Maybe I'll just start telling them how I consider their hobbies a waste of money.

Powerlord

@SaintWacko I could have asked how close a vote was it just to mess with you further.

Grace Note

@Sterno "So many"?

OrigamiRobot

15:38

@Sterno No, you only get the 6 packs for deckbuilding.

Sterno

@GraceNote I think it's been at least 3, since this morning

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot Do you get the 6 packs, plus 1 pack for winning?

Grace Note

Ahha

Sterno

>1 is surprising to me, given that everyone in here "wastes" their money on video games

or is a filthy pirate

OrigamiRobot

@JasonBerkan You get 6 packs for deckbuilding. At the end of the 3 matches, you get 1 pack per match win plus one for going 3-0.

fbueckert

15:39

@Sterno Or both!

Sterno

@fbueckert Indeed!

fbueckert

@Sterno Suffice it to say, people have hobbies.

Powerlord

Speaking of video games, I see Phoenix Wright has a release date... October 24 I think

Grace Note

@Sterno Personally, I started to feel less bad about the amount of money spent on hobbies when I started to pay $1 for 3 days of lunch compared to $5-15 a day for lunch at my previous job.

fbueckert

They spend money on those hobbies.

Sterno

15:40

@GraceNote That is impressive.

fbueckert

Like me; I spend money learning dancing.

Powerlord

@GraceNote $1 for 3 days? What are you eating, Ramen?

fbueckert

Of course, I haven't done that for...a year and change at this point; crazy studio won't take my money anymore.

Powerlord

Some of us sadly don't have the option of telecommuting.

Grace Note

@Powerlord That's option 2. Option 1 are these rice dishes that they sell for $1 but actually have so much rice that, if I'm the only one eating, it lasts 3 days.

Powerlord

15:41

(even though I work in IT...)

Sterno

@GraceNote I'm given to understand that you also only weigh about 15 pounds.

Michael Dunfield

@kalina You mean repair it at a shop? You can't repair hull damage without a hull repair drone.

Sterno

I might be exaggerating

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote weighs multiple tons as she is a mobile artillery platform.

Grace Note

@Powerlord Technically, this could be done as long as your office had a kitchen that you were allowed to use. My old office only had as much as a microwave, and so eating at the local Subway or a diner was pretty much the only option aside from the occasional thing of leftovers.

Jason Berkan

15:42

@Sterno I shouldn't point out a girl's weight, but she is a spaceship that probably weighs tons.

Sterno

@JasonBerkan I'm going by what @GraceNote said in chat a few days ago!

Powerlord

@GraceNote We have a microwave and refrigerator here.

Sterno

What makes me sad is when I'm at the gas station and obviously-low-income people are buying $20 of lottery tickets

Grace Note

@Powerlord Well, fridge here too, but fridges are terrible at warming food up.

fbueckert

@Sterno You should see what happens here.

OrigamiRobot

15:43

Aug 7 at 17:49, by Grace Note

Alternatively and more accurately, I'm a self-propelled piece of artillery.

Grace Note

But that does unfortunately make these little rice things not an option for you - they require a stove and a pot.

Powerlord

@GraceNote True, but it was more about keeping things cool that need to stay that way until you cook it.

Grace Note

@Powerlord Quite

kalina

@MichaelDunfield no you can repair room damage though

fbueckert

My brother works for Purolater, and every two weeks, the government checks go out to the reserves. And every two weeks, the casino is packed for that night.

kalina

15:44

if you're struggling for scrap, just train up your shield dude rather than actually taking damage

Powerlord

Actually, we have two microwaves here. For an office of 80ish people.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot I don't get it

OrigamiRobot

I don't know how to explain it any more clearly.

Grace Note

@Sterno To that point, despite my vast efforts to stuff my face with food, I've dropped down to 31kg. Still 179cm tall.

@Powerlord I take it eating out is very common, then?

Michael Dunfield

@OrigamiRobot Don't booster packs only have like 8 cards in them?

OrigamiRobot

15:45

@MichaelDunfield 14

Powerlord

@GraceNote Yes. It doesn't help that we have like 3 blocks where almost every business serves food of some sort.

Sterno

@GraceNote If a bowl of rice is lasting you 3 days, stuff your face harder!

Michael Dunfield

Also I wish I had people to play Magic with

kalina

@OrigamiRobot it's a concept I'll never understand, because my brain is refusing to accept input regarding some of the earlier steps

Private Pansy

@GraceNote That doesn't sound very healthy

kalina

15:46

@GraceNote er

Private Pansy

I'm only slightly taller and more than twice your weight. And people call me thin

kalina

you're 31kilograms?

Powerlord

@OrigamiRobot 14? Didn't it used to be 15?

kalina

how are you both lighter than me and taller than me

that sounds really dangerous

Private Pansy

Actually, scratch that. You're dangerously underweight

Grace Note

15:46

@Powerlord I imagine they make good money for that.

OrigamiRobot

Aug 16 at 15:30, by OrigamiRobot

You need to not live in the middle of nowhere.

Michael Dunfield

I am 6"2' and around 130 lbs

Sterno

I'm a fat fatty. I'm eating Doritos as we speak. Mmmmm.

3ventic

SI units, please

Private Pansy

No, not dangerously underweight. Impossibly underweight.

Jason Berkan

15:47

@GraceNote That has to be a typo. I have a 7 year old kid who weighs that much.

fbueckert

I'd actually like to be able to gain weight.

I stuff my face, and I can't.

Wipqozn

@MichaelDunfield Move in with @OrigamiRobot. You guys can be room mates.

Arperum

I'm pretty sure @GraceNote is talking about Elona...

Grace Note

This is the part where I inform folks who weren't present in the original conversation that Sternold is referring to, that this is referring to a game character in a game where, technically, weight and height have no impact and can change willy-nilly on unrelated events.

Powerlord

Oh, apparently boosters now contain 1 land card in Magic as its 15th card. That seems silly.

kalina

15:48

@GraceNote oh, well, now I suddenly feel less worried for you

Grace Note

If it means a special land, it might not be so silly.

Jason Berkan

@GraceNote Video games??? On The Bridge. Heresy.

OrigamiRobot

@Powerlord 14 + Basic land

fbueckert

This week's humble sale is the X Series

Anyone who likes space sims should get it.

Grace Note

If it's one of the basic lands that I imagine no one has any trouble to get and, really, they should sell just like packs of basic lands for cheap... then ugh.

@OrigamiRobot To wit, ugh.

@OrigamiRobot It used to be 11 commons instead of 10.

fbueckert

...How did that not link up?

OrigamiRobot

@Powerlord In Dragon's Maze, the basic land was replaced with a non-basic land so you did get 15.

@fbueckert No protocol

@fbueckert Space

Michael Dunfield

@fbueckert space after 'Series'

Grace Note

15:49

@fbueckert White space.

fbueckert

Oh. Derp.

kalina

@fbueckert thanks, more games to sit in my Steam list and never be played

fbueckert

@kalina It's like a single player Eve!

kalina

EVE damaged me

@GraceNote The problem is all that food you eat off the floor.

Grace Note

Huh, fancy enough, I'm actually personally around 179 myself. Closer to 180-ish I think.

@Sterno It's filling, free, and only rarely cursed! Eating off the food is not merely a means of survival, it's a lifestyle!

Powerlord

It's not even lunch time yet and I keep thinking "is it going home time yet?"

Grace Note

Better than picking fruit off of trees, those things are somehow inordinately frequently cursed.

kalina

by the time I'm 25, I will have reached the point where 75% of the games on my Steam list are games I've never played

fbueckert

So anyone else hear about Clang running out of money?

kalina

15:53

and 99% of those games will be from humble bundles

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Now I feel old.

fbueckert

@GraceNote I do that a lot when gardening.

Powerlord

@kalina My list passed that percent years ago.

fbueckert

Saves so much food.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot you'll feel even older when you realise that I still have 5 years until I'm 25

well, 4 1/2

Powerlord

15:54

@fbueckert How does a compiler run out of money?

OrigamiRobot

@kalina That's why I felt old to begin with.

SaintWacko

@MichaelDunfield That looks like a lot of fun. I just hope there are tractor beams, otherwise looting in three dimensions is going to be incredibly annoying

OrigamiRobot

I know how old you are.

Grace Note

@fbueckert "What, this apple is only handy? I'll just eat it. Oh, hey, look over there, that apple's bigger-than-a-man! I'll pick that one for the bin!"

Michael Dunfield

@SaintWacko Yeah, there are.

kalina

15:54

@OrigamiRobot of course, I forgot that you're a semi stalker

fbueckert

@GraceNote I usually pick handy and up. Lower gets eaten.

Michael Dunfield

@SaintWacko desura.com/games/zigfrak $5

Private Pansy

I don't get it. Why did YouTube collapse all its settings into a single popup menu that takes quite a few more clicks to access when the bar has space to display them all?

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Yes, I stalk 18-wheelers.

SaintWacko

@fbueckert Huh, hadn't thought about those as a source of food

Grace Note

15:55

I generally try to gun for nothing smaller than "rather big", lest there's slim pickings.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot ho ho

Michael Dunfield

I've played it a bit. Watched the stream where indiegamestand interviewed the developer and it sounded really interesting, but I haven't had time to really get into it

or motivation

Powerlord

It's only been like 2 years since I was twice @kalina's age.

fbueckert

@SaintWacko Yup. They do nothing about it.

As long as you meet your quota, the rest is fair game.

Powerlord

I'm still more than twice @RonanForman's age.

kalina

15:55

@Powerlord I didn't realise you were ancient

fbueckert

You lose it once the task completes, though.

SaintWacko

@fbueckert I've never successfully met the quota

fbueckert

@SaintWacko Get the Gardening skill.

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko Me neither :(

Grace Note

@fbueckert You do get more pay when you go past the quota.

fbueckert

15:56

Phenomenal for training stats and Learning.

@GraceNote Yeah, I usually go for twice/triple the quota.

Which isn't very hard.

Grace Note

@SaintWacko Two tips - first, get Gardening as a skill. Even without it though, beeline for corners of the map. Make sure to look with * at the sizes and grab the biggest stuff.

SaintWacko

@GraceNote Hm, alright

I'll try that

Grace Note

When you're first starting you'll only be able to have time to pick up like 2 or 3 of the big ones but that already adds up to 30-50s if you see big ones so that works handy enough.

@fbueckert It took me quite a while to get an order of magnitude over the quota, I was quite pleased with that.

fbueckert

@GraceNote Do the rewards get better the more you go over?

OrigamiRobot

I have never beat Party Time! either.

fbueckert

15:58

Or is it just an on/off deal?

SaintWacko

@GraceNote I think that was my problem, I wasn't looking around, I was just picking everything

Grace Note

@fbueckert I think it's proportional but the ones where you have bigger multipliers would pay significantly less to begin with. For example, 20s quotas give about 300-500 gold ish, while an 80s quota pays 1600 to begin with, so I can boost that 1600 to over 5k with enough goods compared to what the 300-500 gets.

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot I've beaten Party Time twice
