@LessPop_MoreFizz I think he wants to know general guidelines for MMORPGs. How to not be "that guy" etc.

@Unionhawk "that guy"?

Unionhawk

@axrwkr Exactly.

user58869

@Unionhawk what do you mean?

Yuki

21:14

@axrwkr Nobody wants to be "that guy".

user58869

@Yuki i dont understand

user58869

@Unionhawk please explain "that guy"

Yuki

@axrwkr "That guy" is the person in MMOs that everyone talks about behind their back and really, really dislikes.

user58869

oh

Unionhawk

@axrwkr It's a figure of speech. "That guy" is the guy nobody likes, in anything, really. It's not a thing that I can really explain.

Yuki

21:15

"That guy" possesses such gems of human personality as egocentrism, extreme narcissism, inability to work with other people, pettiness, etc.

Like you've gotten banned for this stuff before, you know?

No. No I haven't.

@MichaelDunfield It doesn't have to be outright p0rn to be considered NSFW and inappropriate for this room.

Q: Where does Black and White keep savegames?

I'm looking at moving an old Black & White savegame off an old hard drive to my current machine, but I can't figure out where it stores saves. They're not in My Games or the install folder, that I can see. Where are Black and White savegames kept?

@Lazers An old hard drive? Emulator?

Oh and yeah I can read that @Coronus.

Thanks for asking!

Coronus

Is there a guide that mentions what the different colors mean on storylets?

RedRiderX

@Coronus Well now that you ask... there is this:

A: What is the difference between yellow and white unlocked Storylets?

TL:DR Yellow (or Gold) Storylets are part of a larger story arc, so it might be more interesting to pursue them, if you can. If not, try some plain white (or cream) cards to build up your Qualities and Traits. As far as I can tell, there are four different types of Storylets, each with their own...

@Yuki Not Pokemon, just the old god sim Black and White.

Yuki

@FAE Ahhhh.... that.

@RedRiderX That's great! For some reason I couldn't find that when looking through Fallen London questions.

user15026

@FEichinger mgm

Coronus

The story text in Fallen London is great.

user15026

I love it, because everything is just so weird

Yuki

IIRC, Fallen London has a very Night Vale-esque feel to it for those who listen to NV.

Conversely, Night Vale listens like Fallen London for those who play Fallen London.

Yeah, sorta

Yuki

Double plug, go!

RedRiderX

@Yuki Only Modern vs. Victorian eras.

@Yuki What you're mostly looking for here is "Lovecraftian", over anything.

user15026

I have discovered I like Lovecraftian things but not actual Lovecraft so much

FAE

@AshleyNunn Great worldbuilder, actual stories read rather dry re: style and are a bit dated.

user15026

Yeah, that is basically how I felt.

Yuki

@FAE Honestly, that's how I felt about Lord of the Rings as well.

FAE

@Yuki Same.

If you guys could all stop waiting until I can't edit or delete things before flagging them, that would be great, thanks.

Goes to show that great fiction writers are known more for their worldbuilding than their actual prose.

@AshleyNunn Maybe we could do both? Just a thought.

@MichaelDunfield If that's not Monster Hunter, I think Capcom should sue.

Ronan Forman

@MichaelDunfield You first.

Michael Dunfield

@Yuki tetrahedralgames.com

FEichinger

22:28

@MichaelDunfield The amount of times you still show up with NSFW stuff kinda shows that you certainly aren't watching what you post.

Yuki

And considering how much money they make off Monster Hunter, Capcom most likely will if it gets popular enough.

user15026

@MichaelDunfield I dunno, I dislike the idea that we have to police behaviour over and over

Michael Dunfield

@AshleyNunn You don't. But it's pretty clear that people intentionally wait until I can't remove it before flagging to make sure I get banned.

And that's just not nice.

@Yuki On what grounds?

user15026

Neither is you posting offensive content.

Michael Dunfield

@AshleyNunn Is that relevant somehow

Ronan Forman

22:29

@MichaelDunfield I really doubt that's the case.

FEichinger

It's also not nice to ignore the warnings you've gotten ... on an almost daily basis.

Confirmation bias

Confirmation bias (also called confirmatory bias or myside bias) is a tendency of people to favor information that confirms their beliefs or hypotheses. People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. The effect is stronger for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs. They also tend to interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing position. Biased search, interpretation and memory have been invoked to explain attitude polarization (when a disagreement becomes more extreme even though t...

Ronan Forman

Nightvale fanart is weird, I'd expect more of it to be of the city than of the people.

FAE

@RonanForman Why so?

Ronan Forman

@FAE Because that's what the podcast is about.

I drew a picture of the waterfront.

FAE

@RonanForman I find that the character interest and interaction is what drives me the most, personally. For me, it's more about how the characters there respond (or don't) to the happenings there.

OrigamiRobot

@LessPop_MoreFizz What? That's a thing?

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot It is very much a thing and it is totally arbitrary and therefore, totally dumb.

@RonanForman For some reason I read this as "I drew a picture of a watermelon" and now I can't stop laughing as I try to figure out how the statement is relevant to anything.

OrigamiRobot

@LessPop_MoreFizz I now have something to hate about Night Vale fandom :(
