8:00 PM

I don't expect @kalina to enjoy her experience much.

OrigamiRobot

@MechanicalLoon Or, yknow, what FAE said.

kalina

@FAE It can't be worse than Dota2

OrigamiRobot

I'm sure some companies out there actually use betas for testing instead of driving hype.

kalina

(check me out, being all optimistic)

FAE

@Frank I've been involved in one where I had to send photo ID.

badp

8:01 PM

@origami I think that meaning of beta died with gmail

kalina

poor @ElfSlice, life changing news and everybody ignored him

Wipqozn

I agree with @FAE that people are stupid.

ElfSlice

@kalina You get used to it.

Frank

@FAE That sounds like a privacy violation waiting to happen.

FAE

So not all NDAs are completely unenforceable.

kalina

8:01 PM

@ElfSlice +cookie

badp

@elf what is it?

Mechanical Loon

@ElfSlice Doing what?

ElfSlice

Also, not really life changing, it would be a freelance project. IndieGameStand wants an animated video for their developer portal. Starting at asking for $400, which is pretty cheap for a 45s-1m video.

Powerlord

@badp I blame your employer for that

kalina

@FAE this one literally asked for easily faked information with no verification

FAE

8:02 PM

Anyway, dinner time, my food's getting cold.

ElfSlice

More money better than no money

kalina

my EOS account literally has the firstname of "Rainbow" and the surname of "Dash"

badp

@pow I didn't marry Google.

Mechanical Loon

@ElfSlice $400 for a video might as well be free.

ElfSlice

@MechanicalLoon eh

I have no experience right

Mechanical Loon

8:03 PM

Got to start somewhere and build up a body of work, I guess.

ElfSlice

It's better than sitting around doing nothing

And yeah, new thing for the portfolio

Wipqozn

@MechanicalLoon Yes, it is.

@ElfSlice Like I said before, you should be spending time during the day working on personal projects. MAke your own portfolio to showcase your work as well as to improve your skills.

Mechanical Loon

@badp I feel like this being in beta for so long was some kind of in-joke.

ElfSlice

@Wipqozn Yeah, I know. I've done a bit, but not as much as I should.

Wipqozn

Set aside a few hours every day and work on something. Once you finish it, start something else. Practice, practice, practice.

badp

8:05 PM

@mec I wasn't there. We should not speculate, I guess.

Wipqozn

Plus employers are more likely to higher you if you do it in your free time as well, since it shows you're passionate about what you want to do. aka you want go into work every day hating life because you need to work.

kalina

You know Google index this room right?

Mechanical Loon

@badp I don't even know anyone on that team.

kalina

YOUR EMPLOYERS ARE ACTIVELY SPYING ON YOU

ElfSlice

@Wipqozn One of my resolutions in the new year is to start doing a whole personal project every two weeks or so

like goals and shit

kalina

8:05 PM

@Wipqozn hire*

ElfSlice

unless I'm working on something real

badp

@kal so what?

Mechanical Loon

@Fluttershy @Wipqozn What is the "intended" order of the temples as adult link in OoT?

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Pretty sure that only counts as passively....

kalina

@badp oh right, you can't comment

ElfSlice

8:06 PM

@MechanicalLoon forest, fire, water

Mechanical Loon

@ElfSlice I know that much.

ElfSlice

I always do the fire one first though because the forest temple scares the shit out of me

Wipqozn

@MechanicalLoon Shadow and Spirit can be done in any order, and there's no agreement on what is the intended way.

Mechanical Loon

You need to do forest before fire/water, because you need the bow.

But you can do fire/water in either order.

ElfSlice

@MechanicalLoon Nope, you can do fire first.

I've done it.

Hookshot.

It's a lot harder to do the final boss.

Wipqozn

8:07 PM

The story kind of directs you towards shadow first, but the medallions suggest spirit then shadow.

Mechanical Loon

You definitely need the bow for water.

ElfSlice

Yeah.

But I know you can do the fire one first.

Wipqozn

I personally find the spirit temple is easier if you do the shadow temple first though, @MechanicalLoon.

Mechanical Loon

@Wipqozn Interesting.

ElfSlice

If you're too scared to do the forest one

Mechanical Loon

8:07 PM

@Wipqozn I'll probably do Shadow first just because I'm more familiar with Kakariko village than Gerudo valley.

As soon as I finish water, though, I have to go back to young link for a bit.

ElfSlice

Is trhe shadow the one in teh well

Mechanical Loon

I found a heart piece you can only get as young link, plus I need the lens of truth.

@ElfSlice No, it's in the graveyard.

The well is where you get the lens of truth, though.

ElfSlice

The well is fucking horrible

Frank

I've finally gotten some A51 rep!

Mechanical Loon

I've never done it before.

I'll report back after I try it out.

Wipqozn

8:09 PM

@ElfSlice Sort of.

OrigamiRobot

The well is basically part of the graveyard temple.

Mechanical Loon

Song of storms opens up the well, right?

ElfSlice

nothx

OrigamiRobot

The well is also the scariest part of the game.

ElfSlice

@OrigamiRobot yes

Frank

8:10 PM

I can't tell if this is actually something you need to keep track of in Starbound

Wipqozn

@MechanicalLoon Yeah, I'd suggest it. The shadow temple item makes getting around the spirit temple a lot easier.

OrigamiRobot

Mainly because it's the only scary part.

ElfSlice

I stood in the doorway to the Dead Hands boss for like 15 minutes without moving

@OrigamiRobot No, the forest temple is scary too.

And the redeads are scary.

Goma is scary.

Mechanical Loon

@ElfSlice What?

How is the forest temple scary?

@ElfSlice Isn't this the Shadow Temple?

ElfSlice

@MechanicalLoon It's dark, you can't see the end of any of the hallways, shit can just jump out at you.

Oleh Prypin

8:11 PM

@Frank Wait what

Mechanical Loon

@ElfSlice The forest temple was not an issue for me at all.

ElfSlice

I told you, I did the fire temple first because the forest temple scared the shit out of me

@MechanicalLoon I don't think so. Wasn't he in the well, guarding the lens thing?

Grace Note

He's in both.

ElfSlice

@GraceNote What? I only remember one.

Grace Note

Guards the lens in the well and the boots in the Shadow Temple.

ElfSlice

8:12 PM

Well the one in the well is scarier.

Mechanical Loon

One thing that really helps in the 3DS version is that the map is always up on the bottom screen.

So I've found that finding my way around temples is easier than it was on the N64.

Grace Note

Typically yes, since by the time you get to the second one you already know that it's a thing. Before then, in the well, you don't know it's a thing. And you just got this room with these... things... jutting out.

ElfSlice

@GraceNote I stood there for like 10 minutes without moving

fuck the dead hands

badp

@oleh runner2 can be gifted, yes

Yuki

@ElfSlice No, that's exactly what they want.

spugsley

8:20 PM

@ElfSlice :D :D :D CONGRATS!!!!

Wipqozn

I've always found the forest temple to be a lot creeper than the shadow temple.

ElfSlice

@spugsley Thank you. :P

@Wipqozn YES I AGREE

Why is typing 'Forest Temple' so hard

Mechanical Loon

@Wipqozn So far I've found the Fire Temple the creepiest.

I haven't done the Shadow/Spirit temples yet.

I also find the Dodongo Cavern the worst as a child.

Those laser beam eye statues holy shit.

Frank

Oh, hey, did anyone else read, "All you need is Kill"?

Kevin van der Velden

@ElfSlice jeah for potential job :D

Frank

8:23 PM

Apparently it's getting a movie adaptation. Which is neat, because it's a Japanese take on Groundhog Day.

ElfSlice

Pretty much that entire game was scary in some way

OrigamiRobot

@MechanicalLoon Bombos always suck.

Mechanical Loon

@ElfSlice This is why I never finished it as a child.

Generally I would get up to the point where you have to enter Dodongo cavern and then say "fuck that".

ElfSlice

I actually really liked King Dodongo.

I felt bad about killing him.

Mechanical Loon

I only made it past Jabu Jabu's belly once when I was a kid.

ElfSlice

8:26 PM

Goma though, nope nope nope.

Mechanical Loon

King Dodongo is the easiest boss fight ever.

One thing that really stands out about my current playthrough of OoT is that every boss fight is fun and unique.

OrigamiRobot

The only game I remember being scared of as a kid was the SotN Game Over screen

ElfSlice

Princess Ruto is like the most offensive character ever.

OrigamiRobot

Mechanical Loon

@ElfSlice Hate.

ElfSlice

8:27 PM

She just sat there while the man literally carried her around.

And threw her at shit

user15026

@ElfSlice She drives me nuts, she's useless, and it really felt like a way to drag out the entire level. Not to mention the whole useless lady strong man saving her trope.

ElfSlice

Yeah she's awful.

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn I always saw it as more of the "I'm a princess and you will do as I say" trope.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot That works too

ElfSlice

She's just dumb

user15026

8:28 PM

either way, it was so pointless aaaaaaaaaaaa

ElfSlice

She looks like a refrigerator

I hate her

Mechanical Loon

I really liked the boss in that dungeon.

Q: Skyrim Flesh spell before changing into Vampire Lord form

As you all know you are not wearing armor in the vampire lord form. So the mage armor perk in the alteration tree will improve the flesh spells. I just wanna know what if I am wearing heavy armor and then I cast a flesh spell and then I turn into a vampire lord. Will the mage armor perk be active...
