@Yuki Yeah, I started downloading this game just to give it 1 star. I stopped downloading it immediately after rating.

And oranges are expensive as hell right now, so it extra confuses me
From now on, I think I'm gonna call killer whales "sea pandas".

FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn I... huh.
@AshleyNunn I feel sort of like this is a waste of oranges, but at the same time I'm insanely curious.
user15026
@FAE I know, right?
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn Mystery orange spearer, who are you, and what were your motives?!
user15026
@FAE The weird part was they were just balanced on the posts. Anyone could have knocked them off, or taken them, but they were tehre when I walked to the store, and there when I walked home like an hour later. And hte path was busy!
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn Oh wow, so they were just sitting there loose?
user15026
@FAE Yep. Just loose.
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn Huh.
Curiouser and curiouser.
00:05
@Yuki Sea pandas that actually are capable of, y'know, killing people.
they're not cuddly, they're sleek and efficient killers.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Pandas are capable of killing people too.
You can make any animal look cuddly if you draw it fuzzily and out of focus enough.
They're not anywhere near as sleek or efficient, but they kill peoples too.
@Yuki this is true.

Q: Minecraft Xbox 360 splitscreen

Kyle BoyerMe and my little brother want to play Minecraft together on the Xbox 360. We got the Xbox 360 so we could play Minecraft together instead of playing multiplayer PC without each other. It just won't work. Gamestop (Power to the gamers) said there was a split screen option in the options. We looked...

@Yuki I took apart one of my dad's fancy camera lenses when I was a kid. He called to try to get a replacement and they said that people weren't supposed to be able to take them apart that far and didn't believe him when he told them his 4 year old daughter did.

Q: I want to be stampylongnose's friend

Kyle BoyerI want to become friends with stampylongnose on Xbox 360 but his friends list is full! How can I become friends with him anyway?

@Lazers Oh god, where is Too Localized when I want it.
I know, right?
FAE
FAE
@Lazers It's apparently a LPer or somesuch
00:14
@FAE Yep.
@Yuki Kids are the worst.
FAE
FAE
@FEichinger That's the one that made me cringe the most. Well, it's between that and the TV.
Seriously. Those are all excellent examples of one of the reasons I never intend to have kids.
One of the many, many reasons.
@FAE I was going to post the TV first ... but then I saw that and ... just ... damn.

Q: I want to be stampylongnose's friend

Kyle BoyerI want to become friends with stampylongnose on Xbox 360 but his friends list is full! How can I become friends with him anyway?

Like, the TV could've been a genuine accident. Kid flails around, runs into the TV, shit happens. But that car is just so ... the message stings extra.
^ more evidence that kids are the worst.

@FEichinger Yeah, I think that's what makes it for me.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Read the description
@FEichinger we can be sure he loves his dad

Q: What's the optimal way to do two playthroughs of Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns so that all the content can be experienced?

TerribadI do not have the game yet. But I've heard that the game changes depending upon when and how you complete certain events. For example, the boss fight with Snow differs depending on when you fight him, so the best plan to experience the most content in two playthroughs would be to fight him after ...

@Yuki dem 256 colors
@Yuki What is this I don't even
00:32
@RedRiderX Guardians of the Galaxy.
Specifically, Groot and Rocket Raccoon.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I've found 3-4 of those things total all game. I don't have 2 per party member to spare.
@FEichinger I'd shrug at that and probably end up smiling at it for the next few weeks. Then getting sad when it rusted.
@Yuki Hmm.
@Yuki kids are horrible
00:38
To get them, use them.
Kids are awesome. Unless they're other people's kids. Then they're the worst.
@strix if you can stomach the spoilers, skimming a guide for augments specifically might be helpful for you. They're a really big deal in the ff4 remake
Also I answered your Lugae question.
per @LuckyLongworth: PS4 was #1 in sales for next gen consoles in January, nearly doubling the nearest next gen competitor.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Thanks.
FAE
FAE
00:42
@LessPop_MoreFizz Looks like we don't have season 2 of House of Cards yet on our Netflix.
The goal with this game was to play it on the train (generally while not having access to guides and such) to pass the time.
But it's just so unforgiving :(

Q: How do I staff levels when I don't have enough bitizens?

Adam DavisI don't have enough bitizens, and it occurred to me that my strategy of staffing several levels with two bitizens might not be as efficient as staffing three, and leaving some levels empty. Assuming I have decent bitizens and they all are in their perfect job in either case, which is better: St...

@BenBrocka why not just say "the xbone" instead of "nearest next gen competitor?"

<puts on @GnomeSlice hat>
<takes off @GnomeSlice hat>
I'm done Kickstarting games unless they look really niche and definitely need my help to make the goal.
Otherwise I just tend to spend more than I would have for a game that received plenty of funding, and have to jump through extra hoops to receive it when it's done.
FAE
FAE
@Yuki Oh yeah, forgot about this one, friend of mine and her g/f backed it. Hmmm.
Though I guess that one has 24 hours to go and hasn't made it yet.
DAMN MY OWN LOGIC
Yeah I'm a bit soured on KS for now since generally you're not getting a significant benefit over buying day 1 and they rarely meet deadlines (in the case of games anyway)
@Sterno But it only has like 3% to go.
FAE
FAE
00:50
@Yuki Seriously surprised it hasn't made it.
It's probably fine.
Was happy to make exceptions for Skullgirls, Mighty No 9 and Shantae though
@BenBrocka Early Access as a reward seemed exciting to me back before A) I had a kid and no time for that anyway and B) They just put it on Steam Early Access anyway.
Yeah, and most show up for normal price on early access anyway
I really wish early access' acronym weren't "EA"
@Sterno They had Early Access when you were a kid? Scratch that, there was currency when you were a kid? I thought it was still a barter system.
00:51
I wonder why they went with triangles where you stand on the points instead of the more standard gaming thing of hexes
@Yuki Reading.
inafter@StrixVaria
@StrixVaria Yeah. In hindsight, I was just too eager to make a @Sternold joke.
@Sterno Well, the units still occupy a hex, just one made out of triangles...
True
FAE
FAE
@Sterno There's 3 people who worked on Final Fantasy Tactics on this, should be interesting to see what they design.
00:53
I guess doing it that way changes movement a bit
You kind of move in half-hexes
and your hexes overlap with others
I feel like it's the same as just normal hex movement.
Just draw a hex around each point and they tesselate just fine.
user15026
Wait wait wait YOU CAN THEORETICALLY RETURN THINGS TO THE GROCERY STORE?
FAE
FAE
@AshleyNunn yus, if they are bad or somesuch
@StrixVaria Not really, since your hex could overlap with someone else's (and probably does if you're in melee range)
user15026
....this changes everything.
01:01
@Sterno Ugh I'm going to have to draw this.
user15026
HOW DID I GET TO BE HALFWAY TO 27 AND NOT KNOW THIS

01:03
@AshleyNunn You need to play with more monsters!
@AshleyNunn I have never thought this. <_<
user15026
@Fluttershy When I play with the monsters the numbers make sense
user15026
Then again I once told an SO that I wanted to live in a world where numbers lined up numerically, so.
I just hate math.
user15026
@Fluttershy I don't think I hate it, I think I just didn't learn it in a way my brain likes
user15026
01:06
Because I used to think I hated programming, and I like it now that I do things the way my brain likes
@Sterno
Pardon my inability to draw straight lines in MSPaint
The black is the triangle grid where you stand on the points.
The red is showing how it's the same as a hex grid.
I couldn't be assed to draw more hexagons than that, but it keeps going.
Needs freehand circles.
I am a failure.
OK, this guy is trying to teach us to be mindful by contemplating a raisin. Seriously?!?

The Nexus 5 apparently takes gorgeous pictures, too.
@StrixVaria But yeah, I get what you're saying. I thought you meant the hexes in this comment:

I'm pretty happy with the camera quality of my S2. Does lower light pics surprisingly well.
I'm going to have to start looking into a new phone soon, so much effooooort.
I always end up disappointed with my phone purchases when 4 months later the battery starts holding about 3/4ths a day of charge under light usage.
yeah I wish more phones took battery life as a serious concern
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka Yeah, when it becomes a regular thing for people to want to have those pocket recharge things, one would think manufacturers would realize there's a need/desire for this.
Kinda sad that, if in use the whole time, my phone only lasts a bit longer than my 3DS or Vita, and only on a full charge
I think they've just all decided it's okay since most people currently are content/forced to deal with a phone you recharge daily
FAE
FAE
01:17
Remember when we could go for a week without recharging a phone?
I remember when my phone was a useless device I hoped I never had to touch

@Wipqozn pronouns in general suck in English.

I love that sentence.
02:15
@AshleyNunn 'A Certain breed of pedant' is a highly accurate statement.
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz I suppose you do have a point there
There is a breed of terrible grammarians for whom there is a set of moronic and, quite frankly, folkloric rules which do not actually exist.
See also: The ending of sentences in prepositions.
Monstrous hatred of adverbs.
user20683
a well bred, finely aged pedant. The kind that has aged right through from a good whine to a sour vinegar.
And of course, the oft maligned passive voice.

English grad students...not so much
Now, English teachers at the middle and high school level? Or, even worse, teachers of disciplines that aren't English, but for which lots of writing is required (i.e. History teachers)? They are generally monstrous.
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Truth. Now that I think upon it, the most hardnosed ones were like MA/PhD students teaching undergrad

This is making me want to play through MGS.
I've only played part of the cube remake, but that was waaaaaaaaaay back in higschool. Earlier actually.
And during then I wasn't into that genre at all. I should really give the series another shot now.

Oh, @AshleyNunn I was going to link this earlier she I was talking about moronic grammarians, but I got distracted: languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=10416
Granted, I re-use the teabags/leaves/whatever-I'm-using-at-the-time in the cups several times, so it's technically 10 cups or something.
