The book all father geek should have:
DreadChase is a 6 degrees of freedom combat/stealth game set in space. You are protecting your warp-capable base from a massive hostile armada that is searching for you. If the hostile fleet gets close enough and detects your base then they will lay siege to it. To survive you must stay ahead of them, disrupting enemy outposts, stealing crucial supplies and trying to outrun their ships. Survive long enough and you may be able to identify vulnerabilities in the pursuing fleet!

DreadChase is balanced by consequences instead of scarcity. Attacking hostile forces and structures in a direct ass
That sounds awesome.
user15026
@Braiam That is an actual thing?
The inability to move posts with a mac is infuriating
The inability to userscript my way out of it even more so
@AshleyNunn! Help! I forgot the name of those card things in libraries that you use to like dewey decimal and organize and help!
FAE
FAE
@GraceNote Card catalog?
That's it, thanks~
Holy crap, someone just tried to hijack a plane and take it to Sochi
(it was diverted to Istanbul and the bomb threat is being investigated)
FAE
FAE
@Unionhawk ...whoa
17:25
@FAE Apparently, they must have called his bluff, and it looks like they might be right.
@Braiam This is getting shared with my fellow devs. nice find.
@AshleyNunn I just did something amazing.
So, I went to go pay my phone bill (because online payment system was being a poop) at the mall. I had to walk by the theatre. There was a showing of Frozen beginning in ten minutes. In 3D. I managed to resist watching that movie for the ninth time.
FAE
FAE
@Yuki Do we have to stage an intervention?
@FAE I resisted!
I'm making progress!
17:31
@Yuki My word.
You Really like that movie.
@Yuki Congratulations!
I saw The Dark Knight...4 times? In theatreS?
I enjoyed Frozen, but not as much as you it seems.
@Wipqozn Yeah, I have a real problem.
I cannot recall the last movie I watched 8 times, other than the original Star Wars trilogy.
I definitely pre-ordering the DVD/Blu-ray set.
17:40
One quick question...
where's the Marshal ?
I always used to talk with him, or Marshal :P

Q: Unlimited Ammo in PC version of Borderlands 2

user68612I've tried multiple YouTube approaches to unlimited ammo and none have worked for me. I'm willing to try several more. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I think I preferred the previous lazers.

Actually, I really liked it when he was a servebot.
Someone vandalized @Lazers?!
@Wipqozn I LOVE YOU
servbot was best lazers
17:45
@GnomeSlice I love me too.

Every time I Google for something about Oracle this guy's picture makes me laugh.
I'm starting a new website to cover games with one of my heroes, @weetim You can support me here: http://www.patreon.com/cpriestman
This is a thing which is happening.
@Sterno We ruined each other's talkings.
@GnomeSlice Good. The internet needs more people wearing hoodies while talking about games.
17:48
@Sterno He's been writing for various sites for some time. He was writing for indiestatik until recently when the thing with Josh Mattingly happened.
@GnomeSlice With a hoodie.
While staring at you with those sad, soulful eyes. Like a lost puppy.
Just for once, I'd like to see someone review indie games while dressed in a suit.
But not a hipster.
Like a business suit.
Preferably with a nice briefcase prominent in the background.

17:55
@Sterno Yes, it would be nice if that guy reviewed some indie games.
But yeah, I too am tired of the hoodie-wearing, hipster, indie game reviewer.
Don Burleson, Indie Game Reviewer!
This would happen:
It's the indie way.
@Wipqozn <3
Although I still plan on getting the actual soundtrack.

Q: How do I claim or complete new Imperial assignments?

TylaronIn afraid this is a bug, but I'm unable to claim or finish the new imperial assignments. If I click finish, it just takes me back through the tutorial. It may be related to another issue that I have where I can't save settings and the game doesn't remember that I've completed achievements. Doe...

18:13
That's disc 1
going to listen to this during my last hour at work
@Wipqozn Sounds like a good plan.
(cc @AshleyNunn(
@Braiam ))
@Yuki Lisp :P
18:18
Didn't know @AshleyNunn was a function.
var result = @AshleyNunn();
listening to the ost makes me want to watch it again... zeus damn it @Yuki, I blame you for this!
@Wipqozn NOW YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL. ALL THE TIME.
Do we need to have an intervention for both @Wipqozn and @Yuki?
Also, I get what you meant about terrible trailers.
The trailers make it look like Ursa was some evil ice queen off in the mountains who was terrorizing the world for years or something.
DAMMIT @YUKI AND @WIPQOZN NOW I'M LISTENING TO THE WHOLE SOUNDTRACK AND I WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
18:27
@Wipqozn ... Ursa?
@Yuki inf
@Yuki Zeus damn it.
Jin
Jin
is there a MOBA game where the graphic isn't too cutesy or Warcrafty?
I keep calling Elsa Ursa for some reason.
@Wipqozn Auto-correct?
18:29
@Yuki No.
For some reason I keep thinking her name is URsa.
Now I'm imagining a bear in a periwinkle dress twirling around on top of an icy mountain singing "Let It Go".
@Unionhawk SUFFER AS WE HAVE SUFFERED
@Jin No.
(also I have no idea)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌​AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌​AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Doesn't @kalina play a lot of MOBAs? She might know of one.
are you trying to insult me?
MOBAs are like the thing I hate most in the world
Still, League of Legends, DOTA2, HoN, etc
18:33
I like playing MOBAs against bots with the chat turned off
@kalina I thought you played a bunch of LoL.
Perhaps I'm thinking of someone else.
cc @WhoeverItIsImThinkingOf
Raven Dreamer plays LoL
Jin
Jin
cool kids play Warframe
Cool kids watch Frozen. Hehe, ice pun.

Jin
Jin
cold snap
18:37
@Yuki Puns are best puns.
Wasn't there some plane mech moba?
I believe @GnomeSlice has talked about it before.
Airmech?
Airmech is pretty cool
Warframe is fun, too
Huh. That's the second time today someone mentions Warframe. Did they get an update or something?
@Wipqozn Airmech.
Both are Steam copies.
I've heard Go Home Dinosaurs is good
18:48
Well, I found the micro-transaction in Bravely Default.
Are they cosmetics?
No, it's a game mechanic.
@Braiam That is amazing
also RIP windows home server :/
There's a secondary system called Bravely Second, which basically freezes all your enemies and allies and allows your character to take free turns.
18:53
Oh my
@Yuki That sounds pretty PtW
You can build up the energy required for these free turns by putting your 3DS on sleep while the game is on.
@Arperum Well, there's a free option.
you just... leave your 3DS on with the game?
18:54
@RedRiderX Yeah.
It builds up the energy really slowly.
But you can also pay money to get that energy quickly.
From what I played of the demo, Bravely Second really isn't required to beat the game.
Hmm okay
But, there's the micro-transaction that every game needs these days.
@Yuki Wait. Do I need to take this game out of my to-play queue?
18:56
@StrixVaria I'll let you know. So far, it doesn't look like you need to take it out of your to-play queue.
Although the opening cinematic was weird. Like really weird.
Are there JRPGs that aren't weird?
@StrixVaria Define Weird
> Can you tell when I got bored of making icons? Obviously a work in progress...
Hahahahaha
Are there RPGs that aren't weird?
I can't even imagine how there could be microtransactions in a single player RPG without ruining everything.
18:58
And why.
@StrixVaria From what I understand it's some silly tacked on feature that you don't need to use at all to have success and enjoy the game.
@StrixVaria With it being single player it could only possibly ruin it for one person
It basically seems to be a "press to win" button. So super boring.
But most of the lego games have street pass capability with 3DS games.. Where if you have yours on sleep and someone else as well it will just swap some quick data
Was a way to get extra coins aside from the ones you just got from walking around with the game on sleep to begin with
@Wipqozn Building backdoors into games to pay to win is questionable even if the experience is enjoyable without it.

user68612I've tried multiple YouTube approaches to unlimited ammo and none have worked for me. I'm willing to try several more. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Kill with fire!
"I want to finish that game, but only if I don't have to play it."
It's a silly and obvious cash grab, it's true, but it doesn't seem to damage the experience at all.
In other news. I'm going home.
@RedRiderX That is actually a pretty good game. I have seen Pakratt play it quite a bit.
Yeah, I played it during the alpha and it was pretty nice
19:02
@Wipqozn o/
@RedRiderX Looks like it has come along nicely.. There were some fairly ugh bugs in the world gen making things impossible to get to, hehe

Ottawa has a cool mayor.

@Lazers' new avatar looks like @uni to me.
I am @Lazers
You didn't know that?
Can we close as "confuses @FEichinger"? No? Damn.
@FEichinger I'd blame @fredley.
@StrixVaria Whaaaaatttt cheats are not off-topic? what are they ?
Cheats in single player should be, imo, on topic. Because if you want to cheat in single player (or fix bugs in the case of Skyrim Console), that's your prerogative. Multiplayer is a bit more problematic.
19:24
If I'm not mistaken, we only ever addressed cheats as answers.
Never what to do about a question flat-out asking for cheats.
@OrigamiRobot Geneforge...
wait, you are asking for those no-weird?
That said, the question is unclear and should be rephrased into something actually resembling a question with a problem to solve, not a "help I saw something what am I doing wrong?"
True.
s/help/halp\!/g
Since it's possible the video is a fake. The question is assuming that this, if done correctly, will work.
19:26
@Unionhawk The question in general focuses too much on the particular cheat than on the problem it's supposed to solve.
@FEichinger Yeah, that too.
wait, are questions about "this cheat code doesn't work" on topic?
@FEichinger We do have specific provisions for things such as, "Gimme a gameshark code that does X".
I'm not VTC'ing because it should be a simple edit. Just turn it into "How to get infinite ammo?" instead.
I don't know if this would fall into that category, however.
19:28
@Frank Well, that's because that is outside of our expertise. Memory-hacking isn't something we (that is, our community's "experts") are or should be able to do.
@FEichinger And the manner being asked for kinda falls into the exact same category.
Finding a pre-programmed cheat code, on the other hand, is perfectly in our expertise.
From what I can tell, he's doing text editing to attempt to affect infinite ammo.
@Michel Why should we stand in the way of you playing a single player game the way you want to? We support console commands in Skyrim. Is that cheating? Is it just another way to play? What we don't support (AFAIK) is breaking the terms of use of a game, which is mostly relevant for multiplayer games where your cheating can affect others' experiences.
Or, put simply: If you're entering it into the game (be that console or the good ol' secret code entering) or altering uncompiled/unpackable files, it's fine. If you're editing live memory or compiled binary, nah.
19:31
@StrixVaria Part of the cheats CAN be used in multiplayer as well
To be fair, though, Skyrim basically requires the console to be playable at some points.
So, you respond to "single" the use to "multi"
@Michel The point is you can't just say "cheats! close!". You have to look at it closer.
It's not just single player vs. multiplayer.
"cheats" is not a reason to close a question. Asking how to violate the TOU might be. Asking a vague question without giving any useful info (like this case) definitely is.
Part of the problem is that you can't reasonably define what a "cheat" is.
Ok, I do agree on this
I should probably go to the gym today...
Will I? Probably not.

And I should finish my persistence layer T_T

Q: Unlimited Ammo in PC version of Borderlands 2

user68612I've tried multiple YouTube approaches to unlimited ammo and none have worked for me. I'm willing to try several more. Any suggestions? Thanks.

The Title ... the messy content ... the comment ...
Every thing in this question (everything made by the OP) irritates me
@Michel In no way am I saying this is a good question.
It's terrible as written.
@StrixVaria I know!
So, anyway, TF2 updated and (finally) introduced server Steam accounts. So, now you can favorite a server and if it changes IPs, your favorite also changes IPs.
19:38
but ... I read, and read again and again...
Granted, you need to be opted into Steam Beta to use this.
all I see is "mimimi, Idk how to play. mimimi, I want win. mimimi, giv mi code to win"
@Michel Yeah, no effort questions tend to be rather common.
@Michel none of these reasons makes it off topic
@Michel Downvote and move on. It's not our place to judge how other people play games.
4
19:39
Do you guys understand the slang "mimimi" right?
not sure now =X
That is a negative.
Found one example in the Urban Dictionary. "a very depressive person or action ("making mimimi")"
For now, it's closed. If we (or the poster) can reword it into something acceptable, I'll happily vote to reopen.
@JasonBerkan To be fair, judging people is a lot of fun.

19:41
@Michel I know it's something said in Super Paper Mario.
@Wipqozn Don't make me type LOL.
@JasonBerkan You just did. Oh buuuurrrnnn.
Anyone playing ESO tonight?
ESO == Elders Scroll Online (not sure if it's know for ESO, just made that up :P )
I would be, except the in-laws are now coming for a 'surprise visit', so trying to clean the children. :/
@Michel No, and you shouldn't either.
19:50
@OrigamiRobot Why shouldn't I ? '-'
@Michel Because it's bad.
@TZHX Sorry for you loss ...
@OrigamiRobot For real ? o.O Personal opinion, general opinion... I like your tasty little bot. So, probably I'll dislike it them :(

Q: What minimal laptop requirements, so I can play Sims 3 and/or Minecraft?

I do that so much
I don't no why
It's proubably because soume peouple like tou use the letter "u"
user15026
Augh
@Unionhawk Probably because real English always follows a Q with a U unless it's a loan word
For instance, "interest" has no u after a Q
user15026
Yeah, it makes sense how they get there but it always looks so foreign

Q: How much resources does a team fortress 2 server use?

Jim KiegerI'm wanting to know how much bandwidth, CPU, and RAM it takes to run a dedicated or listen server that 24 people can connect to. Like, does it max out one of the cores on my 3.4GHz CPU and uses 2GB of RAM? I'd like to know how much it'd affect my main PC.

@AshleyNunn You should kick him
He would deserve it
@Coronus There's no u after a q in interest!
@Lazers TF2 servers are oinky
@Lazers I want to say that their best bet would be to run a server and see
FAE

@AshleyNunn I think part of it may be muscle memory with q+u

Legacy crap code is crap!
Ooh, @Lazers has a new avatar!
1 hour ago, by FEichinger
@Lazers' new avatar looks like @uni to me.
@Unionhawk Forgive me, I just got here
@MBraedley I regret I have but one star to give you for that comment.
Someone decided it'd be a good idea to #define a bunch of stuff that exits in STL
Ah. Legacy crap C++ code. shudder
20:45
@JasonBerkan gcc is (actually rather surprisingly) not being helpful, saying that the errors are in the STL headers instead of the crap code.
And a library I'm using actually tries to the right thing by #ifndefing stuff, but it's not enough. I think that's where I'm getting hung up on now.
Thank god today is Friday, because I'm going to need a drink (or several) when I get home. But stuff is now building properly. I can get back to what I was supposed to be doing this afternoon.

@FAE Herp-a-derp.

@Yuki I'm just really surprised, I would've thought they'd know better. :o
21:24
And given FreddieW's popularity on YouTube, I think Notch might have okay'd it if they asked for permission first.
@FAE Same here.
@FAE Yeah totally
@Yuki Yeah I'd think so too.
Notch seems pretty cool with stuff like that
FAE
FAE
Given how much experience they have, I'm just baffled at the fact they apparently didn't make some kind of deal first.
Maybe there's more to this than what we know so far. We'll probably have to wait until tomorrow until the various gaming news outlets report on it.
@FAE Probably because so many people do Minecraft stuff without permission or something.
FAE
FAE
@Yuki Yeah, but most of them aren't asking for $600k.
Like, youtube ad revenue for let's plays is one thing.
@FAE I'm agreeing that it was a dumb mistake on their part.
