@MBraedley If you want a PC beta key, I have an extra.

@Wipqozn No you have a probably!

@FAE does it need Origin?

@MBraedley You should at least try it out. It's fun enough for me to put up with Origin in small bursts. :P

@MBraedley Yes.

@Arperum Apparently they offer "Humble Pricing" where the price is a direct price conversion updated every day. Publishers can opt out of it.

@Fluttershy I hate you so much (but I actually love you and think you're great)

> While we love the simplicity of Humble Pricing, we recognize that it doesn’t make sense for every developer or publisher. We also give them the option to provide an MSRP for each currency or region. The flexibility of offering either Humble Pricing or industry standard pricing means that we can bring you more awesome games at awesome discounts worldwide.

@Wipqozn <3

@Fluttershy but that means installing malware

@badp Read: "We recognize that people want to rip off Europe, so we're letting them."

@badp In that case at least the devs from starbound went moneywhoring and Europe-extorting.

@Arperum Like almost everybody else out there.

I'm really not seeing the advantage for the consumer - you still get to see the price in your local currency before checkout.

@MBraedley S'why I use an anti-malware program. :P

Aaaand I just had a déjà vu ... Naptime!

@badp Which is a system I really hate. It's one of the worst parts of steam for me.

My bank has really reasonable conversion rates (I don't think they charge anything at all for the service), so I just pay in USD whenever possible

@Arperum Yeah, I used to be able to pay in $, but not anymore.

@FAE Not even with a US-based payment method?

@badp Correct. They said I can't use my US bank account.

And to use a European-based payment method.

Wait, bank account? Do you mean debit card?

I could use my Italian card in NL and Germany just fine.

But they're all EU-based.

The US banking system is weird

Okay, is it just me or is the SE app randomly firing off hours-old notifications?

If I ever get to the point of selling a game, I'd make sure everyone payed the same price. Because fuck you location based price differences.

@MBraedley The more I read about it the less I'm impressed.

@badp Yeah, debit card. Because my card had an American billing address, I can't use it. It'll error out when I try from here. I contacted support and they said nope, had to use an EU payment method because I'm located in the EU.

@FAE even if you set ?cc=us before buying and set your billing address to the US?

@badp Correct.

Huh. Daniel Craig now has a lifetime supply of Aston Martins.

@FAE Quite less than awesome.

@MBraedley I figured that was related, yeh.

I'd open a free bank account in a Tier 2 country just to show them your appreciation.

@badp Indeed. I wasn't very happy after contacting support and having them tell me that.

(Perhaps not Italy)

lol

@Yuki What did you ultimately decide last night with regard to becoming a rebel vs. a good student?

Surprisingly enough, for some reason, all prices in the homepage of the Humble store end in ",99"

@DavidM Went home and finished my project. And unfortunately, my sister had to be picked up so I couldn't see the movie.

@Yuki In the end, you probably made the right choice.

I guess that's clearly a coincidence

@FAE ...or perhaps Humble Pricing rounds to the nearest half-euro.

@badp Starwhal is 7,49

"Your character has died at level 2"

=[

@FAE Starwhal is $9.99 US, which is about that.

@GnomeSlice "The Most Ambitious Text Based RPG of 2014"

@DavidM So far it's actually pretty good.

As opposed to the thousands of other ones,

I just died.

@DavidM I think that's the joke.

I'm sure it's good.

@Yuki That's great!

@StrixVaria Scientists suspect that internet trolls may, in fact, exist outside of the internet as well.

There's a link to an article with more details about the study being reported on.

@StrixVaria there are two headlines there that should be no surprise to anyone.

Was Frank Miller at all involved with the new 300 movie?

@GnomeSlice Windows 8 prevents me from running Sanctuary.

@DavidM It was supposedly based on his graphic novel, "Xerxes."

Yet, I don't see his name on it anywhere.

Doesn't bode well.

@DavidM Not that that would help much...

@FAE I enjoyed the first one!

Everyone look at this question and don't read my comment. See if you can spot the flaw.

@GnomeSlice Ok, Sanctuary doesn't run. I gave it a try, and now I'm giving up forever.

I'm glad I didn't pay money.

Ah nevermind. The flaw is me.

You have no idea. My phone vibrates for Stack Exchange, Steam, E-Mail, Messages, etc.

The SE app has been behaving for me

@badp Same

My tablet, usually three seconds later, does the same.

Oddly, but behaving

I haven't been using the SE app.

It's buzzing all around me.

There we go. I think we covered all the bases!

@Fluttershy I only use it for the notifications

@FEichinger ha! Nexus 7s can't vibrate.

@badp He has an iPhone.

@FAE The iPhone app doesn't have push notifications?

@badp ... I have so much starbait for that ...

FROZEN YOGURTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I mean, iOS apps spam that area reagularly. "HEY! YOU DIDN'T OPEN THIS APP TODAY, FEBRUARY 15TH!" "HEY! YOU DIDN'T OPEN THIS APP TODAY, FEBRUARY 16TH!" "HEY! YOU DIDN'T OPEN THIS APP TODAY, FEBRUARY 17TH!" "HEY! YOU DIDN'T OPEN THIS APP TODAY, FEBRUARY 18TH!"

I disabled notifications on the app...

I can't trust you people enough to not ping me a million times at random every now and then.

inb4 pings

@badp the iOS app isn't out yet

@Yuki DayZ

Why do you think we'd ping you a million times at random, @Uni?

@FAE I thought the alpha was out for limited testing.

Could it be that you have some reason to fear that might happen, @Uni?

@AshleyNunn Yeahhhh with hot fudge and whipped cream!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe, because you do that to people yourself, @Uni?

I think @LessPop has it.

@badp My main point is that @Fluttershy's not using it

It's true.

@FEichinger See, if I had SE notifications on my phone, that would be really annoying

@AshleyNunn YUS

But, @Uni, why don't you want to get notified about me pinging you?

I do, just not immediately

Well, actually, usually immediately

But that's another issue

Could it be, @Uni, that this is somehow inherently annoying?

Twitch Plays Super Hexagon

Nope.

Next up.

Not annoying in the slightest.

@spugsley WTF?!? I thought you were supposed to be a starving artist.

@DavidM I have a fancy husband so nah :p

@DavidM gotcha!

@spugsley That explains all of the pictures of him wearing a top hat.

@DavidM HAHAHAHAHAHA cc @OrigamiRobot

@DavidM That's not her husband. :P

@DavidM not quite :p Top hat man is just my best friend

@spugsley He is going to yell so hard

@DavidM That's me in the top hat. I am not @IanPugsley

@FAE I can't wait for it

Hahahahahahahahahaha! Misunderstandings are funny!

@DavidM yes they are :) I am very amused

@DavidM We're not laughing at you, it's just that @OrigamiRobot usually gets yell-y if people assume or imply anything scandalous between him and @spugsley.

So we're laughing at him!

@FAE and it's hilarious

@FAE I was sincere in my laughter at my own expense.

@DavidM Wasn't sure, so wanted to clarify. :)

@FAE Thinking I am her husband isn't scandalous, it's an honest mistake.

@OrigamiRobot boooooooooooooooooring

@FAE Much obliged ma'am.

@spugsley It's not the first time it's happened.

@OrigamiRobot it isn't?

@FAE yell-y . . . I like it.

@OrigamiRobot isn't @spugsley's husband. He's her wife.

@OrigamiRobot I'm pretty sure you and @IanPugsley are the same person.

@Wipqozn u dum

The first time I saw @IanPugsley and @spugsley in the room at the same time I thought, "Oh man, what a coincidence."

@spugsley I'm the only one wearing a top hat at your wedding. People have assumed I was Ian.

@OrigamiRobot oh yeah!

@AshleyNunn YES HI WIFE

Also @OrigamiRobot THEY KEEP GOING TO THE WRONG MAZE UGH

@OrigamiRobot Dude, that's like a chick wearing a white dress to another woman's wedding! (BTW- an ex of mine did just that!)

@Wipqozn No, @Ian plays way more Spelunky.

I KNOW IT'S INFURIATING

It's okay, they're pause-buffering it, so you know it's going to work

@FAE Ian plays a lot of Spelunky

@DavidM I didn't wear it during the wedding, just at the reception.

And the photographer asked me to wear it for pictures.

They've been stuck at this rocket base all day.

@Yuki She looks like she would smell . . . good?!?

well, just took a look a twitch plays pokemon

thats some random shit

@Fredy31 THEY KEEP GOING INTO THE WRONG MAZE

lol

do you know how many badges they have?

They have 4 badges.

@IanPugsley Total playtime?

@IanPugsley 2726 plays and only 8 wins? That's it, I give up, I will never win that game. :(

@badp I do have it, and yeah, it's been sending me hours old notifications today.

@IanPugsley HELLO HUSBAND

@FAE naw, I don't bother trying to win that often

@IanPugsley Have you ever gotten a group together to play Spelunky Drinking Game?

@FAE I'm aiming at no-money right now

trying to see what was their starter

@spugsley u weird

@IanPugsley It would be.

@Fredy31 Charmander named ABBBBBBK(, which they released earlier today.

god damn

@StrixVaria So tragic.

trolls had their way

@FAE Flareon is a travesty.

@IanPugsley Basically, the current player takes a shot every 4 (or whatever you choose levels.) When that player dies, everyone else takes a shot and the controller is passed.

@IanPugsley I don't know how you can even do this.

@FAE it's one of the achievements

@LessPop_MoreFizz jaysus no thanks

@IanPugsley I know but it still baffles me

@IanPugsley IT IS THE BEST THING.

I wish I could find a game I like as much as @IanPugsley likes Spelunky.

@FAE it is extremely hard

@StrixVaria don't we all

That just sounds like death

@StrixVaria it's my jam

@IanPugsley I saw your tweet about Artie ruining a run

Oh, they managed to get the helix back.

and a save

You know, priorities

@FAE ugh, more than one - he's the worst

@IanPugsley Haha, what does he do?

@FAE either jumps in front of my monitors or jumps into my lap when I'm holding my controller

all it takes is accidentally picking up any money at all to ruin the run

Oh Artie isn't an enemy in the game.

@StrixVaria lol, no, he's their cat

@StrixVaria he's my fatso cat

Which, IIRC, was formerly @OrigamiRobot's cat.

@OrigamiRobot 259 hours

@FAE we adopted him together

@StrixVaria I will never stop laughing at this

@IanPugsley Ah okay, you just ended up with custody.

@RedRiderX INB4

dang

...did they ever get the lift key?

@OrigamiRobot They're in the correct maze now.

It just occurred to me they may actually have been at the wroing maze for the past 10 hours.

@Wipqozn No because idiots keep going to the wrong maze.

Damn it eevee

hahaah oh my zeus, they've been at this maze for so long, I figured they did the otherone

but it occurred to me I haven't seen the key in any of the 100 times they've opened the inventory

oh my zeus, this is glorious

@AshleyNunn when you are on steam next, I am having a stupid art crisis and I could use an awesome-whisperer

@Yuki D:

BACK UP THE STAIRS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@StrixVaria thanks for saving me a trip to twitch

Literally, at this point, sub mode is the only way this is happening ever.

Wow, mobile app is really drunk. Just got two notifications from yesterday

(yes that stupid thing has a sub button)

@Unionhawk sub mode?

I fully expect to wake up tomorrow with them still stuck in the headquarters.

@FAE heh

@FAE subscriber-only mode

@FAE Where the only people who can chat are mods and people subscribed ($4.99/month) to the channel

Oooooh

that would alienate most of the watcher real fast.

Yeah, that's not where my brain went at all.

@Unionhawk You've been the biggest pessimist in the Bridge so far. I think they'll get it done just fine.

Eventually.

@FAE Get your mind out of the gutter!

@Fluttershy Like you care. :P

<_< >_>

@Fluttershy NO NEVER

In sub mode the pokemon cries come from the trainers. Also a few other changes.

There are, seventy-five thousand people in that chat.

@MBraedley also apparently Titanfall is in open beta mode at this point, so you don't even need a key

Just download Origin and it'll be in Demos and Betas or something

Generally content graffiti.

@Yuki Ooooh. "Content." I thought you were saying "content."

@Yuki I love it

it makes me happy

@Unionhawk they mentioned maybe doing that for safari zone or other tough parts

@AshleyNunn install a whiteboard

@BenBrocka Yeah. I mean, there's the classic "My chat experience" gif, and then, there's TwitchPlaysPokemon. We're on a whole new level of "chat experience" here

Hmm, where does the android steam app keep the notification sound file?

@Yuki I like Great Big Sea

@AshleyNunn they aren't loving enough

@AshleyNunn Paint a big open space on the wall next to it with blackboard paint.

@OrigamiRobot great big sea is awesome

@AshleyNunn And leave a bucket of chalk on the curb.

This is not why people are always looking at their mobiles.

@AshleyNunn ten bucks says that if you do that....

@AshleyNunn Yeah, what I was typing.

@AshleyNunn but you don't look at it to get spammed by the grocery store itself.

or for instructions to the milk fridge.

@AshleyNunn One of the main chains here will give you a list that takes you through the store in order of aisle walking convenience

If you use their app, I mean.

@FAE That's cute.

@AshleyNunn Not a common use case

So if you put in milk, bread, cheese, flour, gravy, based on the layout of the specific store you use, it'll give you the easiest route to take.

@badp Yeah, it's Albert Heijn, it's a neat feature.

@FAE huh.

@AshleyNunn I mean, yes, it's not fun looking all over the place for, say, toothpicks. But typically you can get away with asking the staff.

@badp I had to do this a couple weeks ago. Looked up and down the grocery section, because hey, you use toothpicks after eating, right? Wrong. They were over by the bath towels.

@AshleyNunn Because Walmart.

@AshleyNunn Yeah, it can be frustrating if you hit a person who either hasn't been working their long or just... does not know what they're doing.

@AshleyNunn It took me ten minutes to explain to the staff in an Albert Heijn store that I wanted these:

@AshleyNunn And they don't know it doesn't...

@Unionhawk they had to give TPP it's won server

@AshleyNunn Marshmallow fluff + peanut butter = best sandwich.

@BenBrocka Good god.

That's mostly because I didn't know (and still don't really know) their proper name in English

@AshleyNunn It's like a grocery adventure, only frustrating instead of fun!

@MBraedley Jealous

@Unionhawk it was apparently affecting chat elsewhere

@AshleyNunn I stand by what I said. :P

@AshleyNunn that works probably, although I usually go for the green ones.

@OrigamiRobot it was an awesome show too. Halifax is their second home.
