@benbrocka usually my cat is the same, but I was sleeping so I missed the warning.
Got spam from Spotify. Unsubscribe is broken. No way to delete account. So I set my email to be [email protected] instead. #thereifixedit
Haha
@AshleyNunn Feed him/her smaller amounts at a time. That's what I do
@MichaelDunfield just saw that, it's glorious
@BenBrocka Did you just discover lone survivor or something?
@BenBrocka ;)
@MichaelDunfield It came out on Playstation a week or two ago, I hadn't heard of it before then
@BenBrocka Oh. Well, cool, glad they brought it to consoles. It's pretty intense, isn't it?
14:05
@BenBrocka got it in a bundle. A pretty nice game.
I've been meaning to go back and finish it.
Carter has not puked yet. He just unrolls the toilet paper if I leave the bathroom door open
@OrigamiRobot d'aawwwww
@OrigamiRobot nice name.
@MichaelDunfield Yeah, really good game. I've gotten all endings, just a couple of achievements left
Allegedly there's some extra stuff unlocked when you get the platinum trophy on PS version too
14:07
@5pike Named after Randolph Carter.

Q: Do projectiles released by True Excalibur, True Night's Edge and Terra Blade deal melee, ranged or magic damage?

kotekzotAfter the 1.2 update, there's a random Solar Eclipse event that causes hordes of powerful enemies to spawn. These enemies occasionally drop Hero's Broken Sword, which can be crafted with Excalibur and Night's Edge to create True Excalibur and True Night's Edge, then these 2 blades can be crafted ...

@BenBrocka Nice. I didn't even finish it once.
@MichaelDunfield I highly recommend it. It's only 3-4 hours your first playthrough, maybe 2 tops for second playthroughs
they've added two endings in the PS version, not sure if the PC version added those or not
It's very hard to find info about the new content, hence my self-answered questions
The Wiki doesn't acknowledge any of the new content at all, I should start correcting that
Good morning, Bridge
@fbueckert Hi
14:12
@blem joke's on you! I'm not in Italy!
@MichaelDunfield Why'd you stop?
@BenBrocka I forget. Ihad to stop for some reason and then I didn't play it again
@BenBrocka By the way, have you heard of/played Full Bore?
Humble Weekly Sale closes in 5 hours! That’s 6 stupendous games from @Kalypsomediausa, get it now! http://www.humblebundle.com/weekly

Q: Where can I found Killer Is dead mission intros texts?

wilAt the beginning of every mission in Killer Is Dead, there is an intro video showing the Moon, the Sun, Mondo's katana and a stain of blood. See this one for example (at timestamp 00:12): ...

@MichaelDunfield Full Bore is cool, but not what I expected
It's just puzzles
There isn't any upgrading of abilities
As far as I can tell
14:26
@SaintWacko Yeah, it's a puzzle game.
@SaintWacko Don't think so, nope. Were you expecting that?
Sorry...
Yeah :(
Ah, like a metroidvania?
I must have misread something in the Kickstarter
Exactly
14:26
You should have tried the demo! :P
@MichaelDunfield Yeh ... no.
Did you get it for $5?
@MichaelDunfield I kickstarted it
@SaintWacko Me tooo!
Don't think there was a demo at the time
14:27
I was their first paypal backer apparently.
and yes, I did
@SaintWacko When I kickstarted it there was a big red button for the demo.
Unrelated, I'm now actually allowed to post my video to my portfolio. behance.net/gallery/vKey-Animated-Video/11138299
Ooh, are we discussing metroidvanias?

Q: Runes (marks and quints) used for ADC (marksman)

FabiánWhich of the marks are more worthy, attack damage or armor penetration? Also which quintessences are recommended for the adc? Shall I use move speed than AD or ArP instead?

@Fluttershy Nope, sorry.
14:39
FINE
loooooooooooooooool
@MichaelDunfield hehehe
This is the game that Paranautical Activity should have been
Would a question about why games need administrative rights to install be off-topic here?
@ColeBusby More about the OS instead of the game
14:47
So SuperUser then?
@ColeBusby That was asked last week, IIRC.
I believe it was closed and deleted.

Q: Why do PC video games need Administrator privileges to run?

William CWhy do games, especially high-profile games like Battlefield 3, installed in default locations, still need an administrator account access to be launched? Windows already provides ProgramData, %LOCALAPPDATA% and %APPDATA% folders for read/write access, and Windows Vista came out 6 years ago, so ...

There ya go. Closed, but not deleted yet.
@JasonBerkan No that question was why a game needs admin rights to run, I attempted an answer in that question and received a lot of flack for it. This is just wrong. was considered a constructive comment so I removed my answer. My answer focused on installation, So, that being said I repose the question stated above
So, I hear a rumor that in Australia, if their parliament doesn't pass a budget 3 times, the government can force for all seats of parliament to go up for immediate re-election.
14:50
@Powerlord Amendment 28 to the US Constitution.
Best proposal I've seen yet
@ColeBusby There ain't a ton of difference between needing admin rights to run and needing admin rights to install. Either both would be on topic or both would be off topic.
@Powerlord Our budget bills are "no confidence" bills (I can't remember the real name). If they are defeated, immediate election.
@JasonBerkan tbh I just want clarification as to why my answer was wrong.
@ColeBusby Couldn't tell you that. I can't see your answer.
I had answered to the best of my ability but once again, This is just wrong was just oh so wonderful to get.
@JasonBerkan I can post a screenshot of it here if you want
14:52
> This post is so wrong, I cannot even describe it. – leetfan Sep 25 at 3:32
Yeah, that's not at all constructive.
@fbueckert That's a rude comment. I would have flagged it if I saw it.
Luckily, since I work for one of the state governments in the US, I'm still working.
CC @JasonBerkan
@JasonBerkan As would I.
14:54
@fbueckert Why does shanodin have the same gravatar as you do in @Gnomeslice's image?
@fbueckert Hm... That name sounds familiar... why of I get a feeling he's made similar comments elsewhere?
@Powerlord Because @fredley made her a badge, too.
@Unionhawk Probably because he has. He doesn't like me very much.
I'll admit that the question was asking about why games needed admin rights to run, not install, but I figured to access the same areas it installed to would've been a drawn conclusion
Oh speaking of work, I get to call in to a boring teleconference starting 5 minutes from now
@ColeBusby Well, not really.
You need to write registries when installing, but rarely should it be required after configuration.
14:56
Also, I just heard, in the middle of two coworkers talking, one of them starting talking loudly saying
> In Minecraft, how do you tame the horse?
or at least that's what it sounded like.
@Powerlord VTC as dupe.
But to access a library needed in say C:\Windows wouldn't your program need admin? or is it just when writing to a otherwise write-protected folder?
of a dupe
@ColeBusby We're talking about two different things; read and write access.
@ColeBusby I don't think you need admin permissions to read from a file.
14:59
Okay so as long as the app was just reading it wouldn't need admin rights. But if it was writing to, then you would need admin rights. Got It.
Installation usually requires lots of write access to complete. Most games store savegames and basic configuration stuff in the My Documents folder, where the user will logically have write access. During running, though, they only really need to read from the installation folder.
@ColeBusby Usually write access requires higher security access than just straight up reading does.
Alright, time to go home. Later guys/girls
I might have a free Desura key for Inverto kicking around if anyone is interested.
Got one from IGS
The developer of Hyper Light Drifter is going to be interviewed on the IndieGameStand stream tonight CC @BenBrocka
James Pond isn't either. I don't think anyone expected it to
@BenBrocka =[
15:11
@fbueckert I am the hidden money behind @fbueckert's army
OR AM I?!?!?!
I like how it's legs are nasty knives for no discernable reason
@fbueckert Thanks for the info!
@BenBrocka I'm pretty sure it's because HATE
@BenBrocka HATE
15:15
@BenBrocka For stabbing, with hate.
I really want Blood Alloy to get funded... Vanquish + Metroidvania
@BenBrocka Knives make excellent legs
You can even dance in knives, apparently
ooooo Design Your Own Hatebot Competition!
I don't think this is going to get funded either... kickstarter.com/projects/1051741402/…
Dammit
@MichaelDunfield poor piano :(
@KevinvanderVelden That's exactly what I said lol
15:18
@GraceNote that is a good reason
Oh my. parents. We were gathering mushrooms in the woods today, and my mom found a "funny" one. "Look," she said, "it totally looks like a hairy arse!".
@MartinSojka I've been on the internet to long, guess what it reminded me of >.>
@MartinSojka That does not look like an arse.
@MartinSojka Also if I had posted that I would have been banned, lol.
@MichaelDunfield if you posted it out of the blue, yeah probably xp
I ... somehow managed to keep my face straight and not tell her which part of human anatomy it actually resembles. I left that to her friends on Skype, just provided her with the above picture so she can show it off. ;)
15:22
Stupid flags are stupid
@fredley flagged
@MartinSojka that is some impressive willpower.
Not sure if I should be happy or sad about that
@MichaelDunfield With a banner image like that I'm not surprised.
It's about a clown with no... hands...
I think.
15:24
@MichaelDunfield Worst game ever
It sounded interesting, but also is kind of creepy.
@MichaelDunfield it is about a clown from EVERY childs nightmares
@KevinvanderVelden Except he's friendly!
Seriously? Someone flagged a mushroom as offensive?
It is a horror game, don't listen to the description!
15:24
@terdon Welcome to the Bridge.
@terdon I've been flagged for posting fruit that looks like penis before.
You guys realize that flags are shared across the entire chat network right?
:)
@terdon I didn't, but it's not very work appropriate.
@terdon Yes, we are fully aware
It's a mushroom!
15:25
I'd like to push it off the screen
@terdon We are, unfortunately, well aware of how flags work.
How can a mushroom be offensive?
Deedly dee
15:25
@OrigamiRobot burninate it, use @fredley's thing
@terdon It looks like a limp penis.
3
yes, but its a mushroom
There we go
It's not the first time someone from elsewhere in the network has dropped in because of a flag, and it won't be the last time.
@MichaelDunfield flags in 3... 2...
15:26
@terdon Doesn't stop people from flagging.
@terdon Imagery, and offense from those who see it, is not strictly limited to what is, but also what resembles.
@terdon You can tell that to my boss when he sees it from afar.
I look away for two minutes and you're talking about limp penises
2
I'm relatively certain I've been suspended for posting a vegetable that looks like a dick before
Yeah, nor does it bother me, I just find it absurd that anyone would be offended by a mushroom!
15:26
I would hide it behind a link, myself.
people are too sensitive
@BenBrocka the joys of the bridge
@terdon Yes, I am sensitive about what my boss thinks I'm doing.
@terdon Yes, we are also aware of that.
@terdon I think abstracting it like that is actually kinda insulting to those who did actually find reason to flag or take offense.
15:27
@terdon Thank you for you valuable input.
@Martin Do you mind if I stuff it behind a link?
Ouch, OK, I'll back off. sheesh
@GraceNote Not at all.
Note to all here: having a racing heart for 12 straight hours is not a fun thing to experience.
@FEichinger I guess it's my better judgement to not passive-aggressively star this...
15:28
@Unionhawk Good choice.
@GraceNote Not if you label it 'dick mushroom'
@OrigamiRobot I now know that's a thing. Huh.
@fbueckert Does it make you feel better?
15:31
@OrigamiRobot It almost made me facepalm, but yeah, it was funny.
Close Enough
@FEichinger It was a hard one to resist
@Unionhawk So starrable if it weren't for "to resist"
@OrigamiRobot I'm not @kalina.
Not last I checked, anyway.
I'm not convinced
15:36
Speaking of which, I need my daily fix of out-of-context starring @kalina.
She's probably sleeping
@FEichinger It's only like, 4:00 pm there. She's asleep.
Wait about 4 hours or so
@Unionhawk Yeh, yeh, I know ...
@kalina was shut down along with the Silk Road
@fredley Would actually be not all too surprising.
15:43
I almost miss that message, but only really because that reminds me of the time when I used to play Tyrian.
Also degauss. I really miss degauss.
@fredley Ah. I remember the days when I used to turn off my computer.
@GraceNote It reminds me when the power button on my computer was the size and shape of a golf ball and made a large and satisfying 'KER-CHUNK' noise
@JasonBerkan Then ATX power supplies came along and they turned off the PC for you.
@fredley You either had some absurdly large buttons on your machine, or you use really tiny golf balls.
15:45
@Powerlord Or I got a laptop and never turn it off. It just goes to sleep.
@GraceNote Mine was absurdly large
I am here
you all smell
I am no longer here
@kalina ♥
2
@kalina We all smell delicious
@fredley Biggest one I had, was slightly larger than my thumb. But that was back when my thumb was tiny. It did make a very satisfying KER-CHUNK, though, that definitely was a thing.

15:47
Stop pinging me, my pc upstairs keeps boinging and it makes me check my phone out of curiosity
@kalina Your phone boings the same as your pc?
Oh, just Bridge Boing
@kalina That ... makes little sense.
No my phone doesn't boing
I forgot to turn off my speakers, so chat is boinging upstairs
@kalina That's why we have noses.
@kalina But we love you.
15:48
and they're suitably loud that I could be at work and still here it
@kalina Don't mind me, just boinging you
Or, at least three people do.
Fine I'll get out out of bed and turn it off then
@OrigamiRobot No, no, I hate @kalina. That was a sarcastic heart.
@FEichinger That's what they all say.
15:49
Why are you in bed at 5pm anyway?
@OrigamiRobot I shall hate her for eternity... Well, until she changes her Gravatar back.
@Powerlord Because kalina.
@Powerlord Don't question the ways of the @kalina.
It's normal for me to be in bed at 5pm on a week off
...oh, wait, I missed an opportunity for a better reply, blergh.
15:50
yes
On my weeks off, I'd probably be in bed from like 4am to noon.
absolutely no innuendo at all
it's not like I got laid all day
@Powerlord 8am to 4pm
You laid in bed all day.
same deal, just shift it four hours
@kalina STAR BAIT DEN-- DANG IT PEOPLE
3
15:52
@OrigamiRobot I will actually set fire to you with real fire this close to me awakening
@kalina Yeah, well, I'm getting old.
Also, tacos.
@kalina I do not fear your fire.
@Powerlord "getting"
@OrigamiRobot you should
@kalina It is @Sterno that is old.
@kalina I know fire is just your way of showing you care.
15:53
@Arperum No, pretty much everyone is "old" for @kalina.
I need a huge joint to counteract the effects of sleeping while so incredibly stoned
@FEichinger @PrivatePansy isn't
What is the difference between an acorn and a tree. Professor Oak.
@FEichinger Except me \o/
@kalina Not from the Silk Road though.
Pokemon jokes.
15:53
neither is ronan
So, yes, there are like, 4 of us.
what happened to SR?
@kalina I said pretty much.
Star this if you like Mario!!!!!!!
@kalina FBI'd to death.
15:54
well isn't that a sad story
@Alex Aaaaaand, no.
@kalina Bitcoin even crashed as a result.
@Alex Be less subtle next time. :P
@Arperum oh yeah it will doo
@OrigamiRobot subtlety is over-rated.
15:55
@Alex If it's rated at all, it's probably not subtle enough.
I think I have a super-human immune system.
@Fluttershy Swap you
@Fluttershy Well, someone has to balance deficiencies, I guess.
@Fluttershy The yin to my yang.
@Fluttershy I want to say this, but last time I said this I was ill for a week
so i'll just think it
15:56
@OrigamiRobot Yep, that's what I meant.
I have a terrible immune system. If I can get it, I will get it
I mean... I get colds, but I haven't been throw-up sick/feverish in close to 15 years.

Q: Building a Terraria Arena

ZibbobzHaving just started a new game, I fully intend to build myself an Arena for the eventual Eye of Cthulhu fight, and naturally an equally elaborate arena for my Eater of Worlds and Skeletron fights to come.

@Fluttershy Feverish: all the fucking time
@Lazers Go away.
People are talking.
15:57
@Fluttershy Oh, I still don't get that often.
This is terrible noise
I'm going to ave to go back to buying off scumbags that I have to meet face to face
@kalina #firstworldproblems
Poor @Lazers, you don't have to listen to @FEichinger. We still love you.
@kalina Aww, you poor, poor sod.
well, true enough
@fredley "How did the FBI find Dread Pirate Roberts?"
