I think he's made the same remarks regarding TV shows, movies, etc.

user15026

@FEichinger Cry.

user15026

When I bought the game today, I was like....oh, this is going to be fun to tag. :P

Yuki

I honestly don't care as he doesn't seem too serious when he says something along the lines of "you have bad taste and you should feel bad" and, to my recollection, he hasn't said it more than once a day.

user15026

I just find it frustrating that it is hard to express dislike of a thing he likes without him expressing some kind of somewhat harsh seeming judgement.

user15026

Because like....I'm sorry I like things?

user15026

00:03

idk.

FAE

@AshleyNunn It's mostly a lot of bugs and gameplay issues that plague it, from what I understand, and not taking advantage of the IP as well as they could have, from what I understand. Also, freaking expensive for what it is (€36.99 here). :/

Chippies

I dislike everything, except the things I like!

user20683

@Chippies Tautology is Tautological.

Q: Can I remap the buttons?

For some reason, breaking entirely with the convention that has been present in handheld Nintendo stuff for....forever, Adventure Time Explore the Dungeon Because I Don't Know uses B, not A as the button for selecting/agreeing. This is maddening, because I am making mistakes just because it is an...

adventure-time-etdbidk

FAE

@AshleyNunn But yeah, I'd probably say abbreviate it. I tried out "Adventure Time Explore the Dungeon" but that's way past our limit.

LessPop_MoreFizz

00:04

It's cool to like or not like specific things. But, for example "everything but rap and country" implies a very specific sort of narrow, exclusionary provincialism, which also carries a significant implication of classism.

"I only like nerd core but not other rap" does something very similar, whether intended or not.

Yuki

@LessPop_MoreFizz Not really. Some people just don't like certain genres.

user20683

@LessPop_MoreFizz Provincial. Really? You really want to go down that road with me?

user20683

Because I will drag you cross the burning coals.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Or you know, I just don't like those things? Because they are unpleasant for my ears?

Arperum

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm going to make the statement that I generally don't like rap. As in: I haven't heard a single rapsong that I liked.

Ronan Forman

00:05

@AshleyNunn What do you have it on?

Chippies

@LessPop_MoreFizz I would thing that people saying they like "everything but genre x and y" are trying to not go too deep into what they like and don't and haven't heard anything from genre x and y that appeals to them.

user15026

@RonanForman Which, AT?

user15026

3DS.

Ronan Forman

Does that have the BMO?

Chippies

People should like songs, not genre anyway.

user15026

00:06

@LessPop_MoreFizz Or, perhaps, I have yet to hear anythin in genre x that I like because of lack of exposure, or trying enough things to determine that my ears dont like things

Arperum

@Chippies This. genres help with finding good songs.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@chippies yes, but I am referencing a very specific sort of cliche that tends to come out of the mouth of a very specific sort of insufferable white person.

user20683

@LessPop_MoreFizz That's utterly racist and you know it.

Yuki

@LessPop_MoreFizz Here's a shovel.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Dude, sweeping generalizations like this are so fucking problematic I don't even know where to start.

Chippies

00:07

@LessPop_MoreFizz such people exist and they are willfully ignorant. There's nothing you can do about it.

FEichinger

grabs popcorn

Yuki

Crap! On the wrong computer for my drama button!

Brb!

user15026

@FEichinger offers butter, or cheese powder, or caramel

user20683

I don't like popcorn. It gets stuck in my teeth.

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Butter sounds nice, thanks!

Chippies

00:08

crap, I ran out of my hot tamales!

Yuki

cc @Sterno @FEichinger @kalina @fredley @Wipqozn (drama)

Chippies

now I'm sad...

badp

@WorldEngineer hah! 1796

Arperum

@Yuki Brilliant!

user15026

@FEichinger No problem, glad to help.

Fluttershy

00:08

@WorldEngineer The worst part for me is when it gets stuck in between my tooth and my gums. Not just in between my teeth. It's part of why I don't eat popcorn.

user15026

@Fluttershy Oh god that is the WORST feeling.

Yuki

Aaaaaand drama side-tracked. Nice job!

Chippies

@Fluttershy but that's part of the popcorn eating ritual!

user15026

@Chippies No, that is pain and terribleness

Yuki

My big annoyance with popcorn is when I accidentally get a bunch of unpopped kernels.

Chippies

00:09

@AshleyNunn which is... part of the popcorn eating ritual!

Arperum

@Chippies your popcorn ritual is bad.

Chippies

@Arperum I don't eat popcorn, I don't like rituals.

especially ones involving pain and terribleness.

Yuki

@Chippies It's a little unfortunate how many rituals involve those two things.

Frank

►

I gotta say, that looks pretty darn good.

Fluttershy

I lost a tooth to an unpopped kernel of popcorn when I was seven. I've eaten maybe three handfuls of popcorn since.

Yuki

00:12

Why can't demons be all, "Eh, I think I'm okay with some loose hair and mild tickling."?

It's always the blood and the screaming and the sacrifices...

Fluttershy

And in each of those three times, I've managed to get a hull stuck in my gums.

Arperum

@Yuki awww :( you haven't seen a proper sacrifice then. No screaming, blood and sacrifices are required though.

Yuki

@Arperum Wait. How does a "proper sacrifice" not require a sacrifice?

user15026

@Fluttershy neeeergh

user15026

you have bad popcorn luck

user15026

00:13

@Yuki And the mess!

Arperum

@Yuki My sentence is broken it seems. I meant to say that blood and sacrifices are required, and screaming is optional, and preferable not there.

Yuki

@AshleyNunn It's like demons don't have mothers. "Howard, you better clean up your room today! I don't want to see any of your underwear laying around when I come up there!"

Arperum

@AshleyNunn No mess! You always have to sumon a small cleaning demon, they don't require any more upkeep then the blood they clean.

Fluttershy

Wait a minute. Google seems to be misleading me.

user15026

@Yuki Yeah, they never learned!

Yuki

00:15

"And you better hope I don't find one of your 'Necromommycons'!"

Chippies

new nvidia drivers have SLI optimization for... Watch Dogs? What?

Arperum

Why does everyone always summon demons from the wrong plane? Seriously.

user15026

@Yuki And for the last time if you are sacrificing goats, DO IT OUTSIDE.

Yuki

@Arperum Well, it's either those demons or the snakes. And snakes aren't that versatile.

Arperum

@Yuki Again, wrong plane. Try another dimensional plane.

Fluttershy

00:18

@Chippies Getting ready for the release in May, maybe? :o

Arperum

Ok, the upkeep costs are kind of high at times, but totally worth it. Everything gets done in a clean and nice fashion.

Chippies

@Fluttershy I suppose, but seems kinda early...

and it says "updated profile", so there already was one?

Fluttershy

@Chippies Probably from back in November, when it was initially going to release.

Arperum

@Chippies The game has to be in development for a while if it comes out in a couple months.

And if they have some early test version, that might be a proper option.

Chippies

@Arperum I know it has to be in development, but I doubt it's available for general public, so releasing these profiles to public seems odd.

it's not like anyone outside of dev team can actually use those profiles...

and I would assume they get some beta profiles anyway

Arperum

00:22

@Chippies true.

FEichinger

If it's finalized and they can push it, why not? The profiles have to be pushed before the game releases, so might as well do it as they're ready.

Yuki

I don't know anything about how this stuff works, but is it possible for the Watch Dogs profile to interfere with anything else?

FEichinger

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

FAE

@Arperum Comes out at the end of May.

FEichinger

00:26

@Fluttershy Must've missed that among the drama and stuff.

FAE

Was mixing up Dark Souls 2 and Watch Dogs' release dates.

Fluttershy

@FEichinger I accept your apology.

I hope Watch Doge isn't disappointing.

Chippies

@Yuki no, those profiles are associated with the name of .exe, so unless you have some game with the same .exe name, it shouldn't interfere.

Frank

Two weeks until FF X HD! I am happy about that!

Braiam

@FEichinger wait, there was drama?

FEichinger

00:29

@Braiam /cc: @Yuki

Fluttershy

@Frank Oh my glob I had such a scare about this today.

Frank

@Fluttershy Same scare as @FAE?

Ullallulloo

Fluttershy

@Frank Yep.

@Frank But then I got this:

> It's come to our attention that you recently received a backorder notification email regarding the Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster portion of your order. Please disregard this email as it was sent in error. We have stock available to fulfill all pre-order purchases.

Frank

@Fluttershy So, as usual, Digital River screwed up.

Fluttershy

00:30

So hopefully that applies to hers as well.

Frank

Then fixed it.

FAE

@Fluttershy I didn't get this email though, so I'm still nervous. :(

Frank

Which is rare.

Fluttershy

@Frank I think they've been reported to the BBB quite a bit recently... So they may be trying to dig themselves out of a hole.

Frank

@Fluttershy Well, here's hoping you still get it on release day.

Personally, I don't think their track record speaks well of them.

Fluttershy

00:32

> We are in the process of transmitting your order of Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster to our warehouse for shipment so that it will arrive on or as close to the March 18, 2014 release date as possible.

Tim Stone

Man, everything exciting is happening on my birthday.

FAE

@Frank I'll just be happy if it gets there at all and then hope I never have to do business with them ever again, pretty much.

Frank

I got my HDMI switches, so now I have all my HD devices properly hooked up to a single TV. I am happy.

Fluttershy

@TimStone Is tomorrow your birthday? :o

Tim Stone

No, the 18th

Fluttershy

00:36

@TimStone Oh.

What else is happening that's exciting?

user15026

@Frank Digital River is so full of spiders

Fluttershy

Other than Digital River ripping me off?

Frank

@AshleyNunn Indeed.

Arperum

@TimStone That's only a couple days before me! Mine is the 22nd.

Frank

I've heard horror stories of them and Ni No Kuni.

Tim Stone

00:37

@Arperum Excellent, we're awesome!

Fluttershy

@Frank There are plenty more for Lightning Returns.

People are still waiting on their pre-orders.

Frank

@Fluttershy Oh? Glad I didn't go through with that, then.

Tim Stone

@Fluttershy I have a strange suspicion that @Yuki will be excited about Frozen being released on DVD.

Arperum

@TimStone My grandnephew is born on the 18th too. He's exactly four days older then me >_>

Tim Stone

There were other things going on but I can't remember now.

Yuki

00:38

@TimStone Oh yeah. Ooooooh yeah.

FAE

@Yuki This sounds sort of creepy in my head.

Fluttershy

I predict that @Yuki will buy enough copies to match the number of times he saw it in theaters.

Yuki

@FAE ... I would hope you know that that was not my intention. At all.

Tim Stone

►

FAE

@Yuki I know it wasn't your intention, I was just saying that's sort of how it seems, lacking the ability to hear intonation in text and all.

And amusingly enough, a friend of mine in another chat just linked this:

user15026

00:42

I need to hunt down whoever designed the controls for this stupid game and hit them.

Frank

@Fluttershy I'm not finding any stories about this. You have a source?

FAE

@AshleyNunn Which? AT?

user15026

@FAE Yes

user15026

B is select/enter

user15026

Y is attack

user15026

00:43

it is just a mess

Fluttershy

@Frank bbb.org/minnesota/business-reviews/internet-shopping/…

Yuki

@AshleyNunn Wait, what? WHY?

FAE

@AshleyNunn I'm assuming you can't remap either? :/

user15026

@Yuki Because someone hates me

user15026

@FAE I don't know

Fluttershy

00:44

@Frank Namely the first complaint that should come up there, referring to the pre-ordered item that released on Feb. 11th.

FAE

@AshleyNunn Is there a settings screen with controls in it? Maybe you can remap them to something more like... sane.

user15026

@FAE Ive not found one and I cant tell if that is because I am trapped in tutorial land or not

FAE

@AshleyNunn Crap. Did it come with an instruction booklet? Maybe it says there if you can remap.

user15026

It came with the usual tiny piece of useless

user15026

I am so frustrated

FAE

00:47

@AshleyNunn Ugh, I hate that.

Yuki

Better?

user15026

@Yuki This does help.

user15026

Seriously this game I don't even. The tutorial demands you do things and doesnt tell you why

user15026

and I just

user15026

I am so disappointed

FAE

00:48

Aw, the 3DS version doesn't have co-op either.

Yuki

Little Sven and Kristoff are so cute.

badp

@Yuki needs detox

FAE

@badp Haha, this makes me think of a drag queen named Detox.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Give me a minute and I can remap the keys for you

badp

@FAE Smart choice of name is smart

Yuki

00:51

@FAE ... <backs away... slowly>

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn What do you want each key to be?

user15026

I just want logic

badp

@AshleyNunn what game again?

user15026

And like....ffff on the 3DS, the A BUTTON IS ALWAYS A SELECTOR

badp

"AT" doesn't parse here

SaintWacko

00:52

@badp Same

user15026

Why mess with that

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Oh, this is on the 3DS?

Yuki

@AshleyNunn That's pretty much universal for any console/handheld, not just 3DS.

SaintWacko

Nevermind, I can't do anything about that

Sorry :(

user15026

@Yuki WHY DID THEY HAVE TO BE DIFFERENT

FAE

00:53

@Yuki She's pretty awesome.

SaintWacko

I was going to write you an AHK script to remap keys, thought it was with a XBOX controller on the pc

I wonder if the game was ported from a Sony system

FAE

That's what she wore to the Season 6 finale. She was dressed to look like she was in a black and white film. It was really stark against everyone else; looked very cool.

SaintWacko

Those tend to have strange control schemes

Yuki

@AshleyNunn Because if they're not going to distinguish themselves from the pack with innovative gameplay or a compelling storyline, they'll use horribly planned controls that were obviously not thought out.

badp

@FAE what did you mean there by "AT"?

FAE

00:54

@SaintWacko It's mostly just poorly designed. The general reception for the game was very negative. :/

Yuki

I call it "the Surgeon Simulator approach".

FAE

@badp Adventure Time.

user15026

@FAE I wish I knew that before I dropped money on it

badp

I NEED TO KNOW WHO IS BEING WRONG ON THE INTERNET

SaintWacko

@Yuki Can you watch Frozen on your computer?

badp

00:55

@FAE TO THE TWITTERS!

Yuki

@SaintWacko I watch it on my phone right now.

FAE

@AshleyNunn Sorry hon, I would've let you know had I known you were considering it!

user15026

I am so upset and angry

SaintWacko

@Yuki Right, but I'm trying to figure out how to watch a Google Play movie on my computer

FAE

@AshleyNunn You just got it today, neh? Can you return it for store credit to get something else?

Yuki

00:55

@SaintWacko Oh, I haven't looked into that.

user15026

@FAE iirc, I would just get trade value

Yuki

@SaintWacko support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1266222?hl=en

user15026

and the place i got it is not in my city

user15026

so I would need a ride

user15026

and I just....

FAE

00:56

@AshleyNunn Ah, damn. :/

user15026

sigh

user15026

I am going to go play something else.

FAE

Have a cute/silly thing!

user15026

@FAE I never knew I needed that til right now.

SaintWacko

Everything Google is being slow as fuck for me right now

badp

00:57

sounds like thisiswhyimbroke.com

FAE

@AshleyNunn :D

Yuki

@SaintWacko Basically, if you have it on Google Play, that gives you access to the YouTube version.
