@3ventic sure does, did you kill it with fire yet?

4.3 but 4.4 is the absolute latest

@3ventic I look at this and I think, why does Chrome on Windows have such crappy fonts?

3ventic

@RedRiderX Does it work on mobile chrome?

RedRiderX

@3ventic shrugs idk

SaintWacko

I am really looking forward to Bridge D&D

Or whatever

RedRiderX

For chrome you want tampermonkey.net, so I guess you could check that.

Jason Berkan

16:11

Sorry, I guess I should say Chrome on Windows over a VPN, since Chrome on Windows looks just fine.

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko Would play if it were GURPS. D&D just isn't enough for me.

Anyone aware about, Why Google Chrome do not support Extensions in Android version of it? I could see extension framework source code is available but it is disabled? Is it because, The Multi Process architecture require another separate process to run the Extensions in Android where max no of...

I guess not

TZHX

16:12

"isn't enough"? I'd say it's too much compared to the simpleness that is GURPS.

OrigamiRobot

@TZHX GURPS is not simple.

TZHX

though I've not looked at GURPS since the 90s, so may be misremembering it.

RedRiderX

How about this?

OrigamiRobot

@SaintWacko Doubt it will be GURPS.

badp

@3ventic if you want full desktop chat on a Nexus 7 - use Firefox

SaintWacko

16:14

@OrigamiRobot Suggest it here

badp

It handles the sidebar way better - almost correctly.

3ventic

@badp Looks just as bad, only loads everything three times slower

SaintWacko

It might be easier for us newbies because, if I remember correctly, it only uses d6s

TZHX

Or... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

badp

@3ventic it works correctly when you zoom in

OrigamiRobot

16:15

@SaintWacko I'm probably the only one familiar with GURPS

RedRiderX

@SaintWacko So does FAE I think.

3ventic

@badp Nope

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Well, then, you can teach the rest of us!

badp

@RedRiderX STOP CONFUSING ME

FAE

@RedRiderX Ugh, this is going to suck.

SaintWacko

@RedRiderX @FAE uses d6s?

Q: Game identification - Detective in a museum, educational game

Something in the neighborhood of fifteen years ago, I played a children's/educational game (for Windows PC) where I was playing as a detective-type person in a museum (I think he was wearing a frumpy coat and a Sherlock hat), where each room was a different puzzle. I remember some sort of room wi...

game-identification

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Wow

That looks like fun

OrigamiRobot

It is. You can do so much in GURPS.

@SaintWacko One of the best things about GURPS IMO is that is doesn't have levels. You use your experience points to buy skills and such.

SaintWacko

16:41

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, I remember you mentioning that before. It sounds like something I'd like

Jason Berkan

I hate levels so much.

Almost as much as class based restrictions.

@fredley I can't decide whether or not I want to shell out $90 for the physical version.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot I have played it but didn't like it much.

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno Well, you're WRONG!

fredley

@FAE I didn't, but was tempted

If I was richer I would have

Jason Berkan

16:50

@OrigamiRobot I know. I would love to try GURPS, but getting a group to change systems can be difficult. We still use 2nd edition D&D, just because that's the books we own.

FAE

@fredley Myst - Myst V in physical version so... :/

fredley

@FAE Oh well

OrigamiRobot

@JasonBerkan I learned GURPS by joining a group that had already been playing for years. I can't imagine what it'd be like with everyone starting fresh.

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot They played for tears? That's hardcore.

OrigamiRobot

The first game I played was a Star Wars campaign where I played a small furry alien with a cybernetic arm. The arm housed various thimble-sized grenades and he could have it dispense them into his hand.

Sterno

16:54

so good

Jason Berkan

Please tell me that you did NOT play as an Ewok.

@JasonBerkan No, a Defel

OrigamiRobot

@JasonBerkan Oh, and during the course of the campaign, another PC and I bought a small planet and starting manufacturing battle droids on it. The campaign ended before we ever used them, IIRC.

Or we might have used them to fight giant space spiders.

Yuki

@Sterno Yuuuuuuuuuuup~

Sterno

Sounds like GoG is using some clever marketing.

Private Pansy

Psychology, more like. Stock limiting puts even more pressure on buyers than time limiting, though I'm still wondering if it'll be more profitable since they're limiting their own profits here

Yuki

Why on earth did I bring three socks from the drawer?

Private Pansy

So that the washing machine can have its tribute?

Sterno

17:21

@PrivatePansy Clever marketing is rooted in psychology.

Yuki

@Sterno Marketing pretty much is psychology.

Sterno

It's still more profitable is the limit they set is higher than what they otherwise expected to sell.

It's also entirely possible that the limit is a made up number and not tied to actual sales

@kalina I know. I dug through that.

kalina

provide more support to the effort to create a proper FAQ and it shall happen

Sterno

@kalina I have been a proponent of this post and linked it from other metas multiple times!

kalina

since currently there's only a small handful of posts that have lots of upvotes, there is no point actioning it yet

because we'll be adding 5-6 questions to the FAQ

I'm very disappointed more people didn't jump on the opportunity to actually make something like this happen

Sterno

What I'm saying is that your cleanup post should have an ITG one created or found, then added.

I saw the AV one in there but that's more about "How do I properly ask an ITG?" and not "Why can't I do it without one?"

which ends up being a very common question

frequently asked, one might say!

kalina

OrigamiRobot

@tugs Those are underscores.

I had to get the quick jab about how he used a tag that clearly states "DON'T DO WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO" and then proceeds to call our policies stupid

Powerlord

So, I hear Sony is now talking about adding back in CD and mp3 support to the PS4 after launch.

tugs

When did community consensus change from "completely disallowed" to "allowed only if there is a screenshot/artifact"?

Sterno

@Powerlord you're barely even a gaming user, your say means NOTHING

@fbueckert you were like arch enemies, your say means nothing also

Sterno

@kalina Replace "barely" with "not". No account = not a user

kalina

@Sterno I'm being kind because of the history

do you not remember what happened when I said Arda Xi wasn't a gaming user?

Powerlord

@Sterno Likewise, Mark Trapp is not a gaming user.

Sterno

@kalina No. Did he quit a 2nd time as a result?

@Powerlord That is the truth.

kalina

@Sterno I'm not taking credit for it

I don't think that question will stick around too long anyway

It's also why I approached it from a "don't you think you're causing enough trouble by not comprehending basic English?" approach

FEichinger

Hm.

kalina

also, upvote me more so I'm higher than Sternold

Sterno

@fbueckert Yeah. It should be VTC'd as off-topic, but I figured I'd wait a day or two so avoid essentially crapping on the user's head

kalina
