@RedRiderX I have G+-ed you. You should be able to G+ me back through that.

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka indiestatik.com/2014/03/13/fallow

Something you may be interested in

aka surreal weird shit

David M

Greetings all.

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice augh I hate when devs have no Twitter listed

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka I hate it when they have no indiedb page.

David M

20:07

@John that sounds painful. G+ing people and getting G+ed.

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka Here's one for you twitter.com/TulpaGame

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice Twitter is ideal for outreach or just following them passively

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka Better for outreach, yeah. IndieDB is better for following and keeping track of stuff.

David M

@feichinger is FF not color corrected or does it just render color differently. I see a huge difference between it and Safari on the same screen.

GnomeSlice

I use twitter to get in touch with developers all the time

3ventic

20:10

@DavidM Safari looks weird imo

SaintWacko

Why is it only 3:10?

I want to go home

GnomeSlice

@3ventic You look weird.

FEichinger

@DavidM I ... think I'll just let this article explain.

David M

@3Ventic I can tell you that it renders my photos better than FF or IE ever have.

FEichinger

Because that would get way too elaborate.

Ben Brocka

20:11

@GnomeSlice yeah if I want to ask about a game I always try twitter first

3ventic

It crashes if I have dxtory running

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka Most developers are pretty active on Twitter, it seems to be a popular thing for that.

I rarely even bother with facebook

FEichinger

(And I suppose you're just talking about pictures. Because there shouldn't be an actual colour rendering discrepancy.)

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice Got my Constant C Steam key! :D

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy Wooooooooooo

Fluttershy

20:12

Now I can actually play it!

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice yeah, most seem to be on Twitter, it's very useful for that. I don't even consider FB relevant for it

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy Does that mean you'll actually play it now?

@Fluttershy You could actually play it before.

Ben Brocka

Except for FB games people I guess

Fluttershy

Well, once I can actually activate it on Steam, that is.

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy Play Operation Smash

I paid for that shit

David M

20:14

@FEi thanks. That makes more sense. I wonder why the rest don't use color profiles. What is the advantage of not doing that?

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice And the gift was appreciated! I'll get around to playing it soon.

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy lol

David M

I've had background color discrepancies just like in the article.

GnomeSlice

soon™

Ben Brocka

Augh it looks like he doesn't HAVE a twitter

GnomeSlice

20:16

@BenBrocka Who?

FEichinger

@DavidM Well, nowadays I believe the problem no longer is supporting colour profiles, but that Firefox does its own colour correction on top.

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy Also store.steampowered.com/app/270150

Ben Brocka

the dude doing Fallow

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka Yeah, he's just got the devblog. No presence on IndieDB either.

Ben Brocka

I'll just email him

Frank

20:17

Holy crap. Nagelring with a perfect Crit Chance roll.

GnomeSlice

This is why I like IndieDB @BenBrocka

FEichinger

@DavidM At the time (back with Firefox 2 and 3) it was a matter of simplicity. Firefox never really cared much about external media, so there was no reason to integrate colour profiles and stuff like that. Then the workaround was using colour correction instead, and now it's kind of a mess.

FAE

@BenBrocka Are you getting Nom Nom Galaxy?

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice oh, that's interesting

Unionhawk

Man, Firefox 2 and 3 seems like forever ago, what with Google's trend of a new major version very quickly

Ben Brocka

20:19

@FAE I bought it today, it's $9 for early birds

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka It's a really nice setup. it shows you have many updates you have, you click it, and it shows you them with links to the relevant stuff.

FAE

@BenBrocka I'm torn. On one hand, I love everything Pixeljunk does and want to throw money at them any chance I get. On the other, I don't know if I really have the time/energy to put towards alpha builds.

GnomeSlice

Also indiedb pages for games show recent tweets by the developer if they have it linked

FEichinger

@Unionhawk Hey, don't forget that everything is still a Mozilla 5.0 :P

Unionhawk

I'm going to be telling my grandkids about the time when browsers didn't have tabs

Ben Brocka

20:20

@FAE You could buy it and wait for release. Or just wait for the formal release. TBH I've barely looked at it before buying, and I'm a bit turned off on playing early access, even when done right it's pretty frustrating when you finally realize you're at the end but want more

I just wanted to have it and was happy to give them money though so whatever

FEichinger

@Unionhawk I think you'll already be able to tell your kids those stories.

Unionhawk

True

GnomeSlice

They need to hurry up and finish Darkwood

3ventic

I remember when Steam added tabs to the chat and everyone was outraged by the change.

Ben Brocka

Kinda hope they haven't completely abandoned Playstation. I know they're making an enhanced? port of Shooter 1& 2 for PS4 at least

FEichinger

20:21

Then again, they probably won't listen because they've been physically merged with Facebook ...

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice Yes they do.

FAE

@BenBrocka All I did was watch the video. It looks like Pixeljunkified Terraria kinda, I guess. I nearly died when I saw Baiyon in the soup though, haha.

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy I backed it.

Ben Brocka

@3ventic I can't stand windows per chat. It's like friggin 1996

Unionhawk

Facebook is dying, and will likely be dead by the time my hypothetical/eventual kids get that old.

GnomeSlice

20:22

Whoa, since when is Gang Beasts coming to Ps4 and Xbox One?

DUDES

Unionhawk

By that time, I'm pretty sure I'll be old enough to be considered a dinosaur

GnomeSlice

That's gonna be amazing

FEichinger

@Unionhawk Well, replace Facebook by whatever comes next.

GnomeSlice

Gang Beasts is one of the funnest local MP games I've ever played. right up there with Quadsmash.

3ventic

@BenBrocka Yeah, having a new window for every chat seems absurd nowadays

Origami Robot

20:23

@Unionhawk I'm going to tell my kids about life without the internet and/or cellphones

FEichinger

I mean, the progression form MySpace to Facebook was already uncanny ... Now imagine the next iteration and then weep in a corner.

GnomeSlice

Speaking of local MP games, I was some streamage of Towerfall the other day and... it looks good, but I was kind of expecting more.

Quadsmash still seems like more fun.

►

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot OLD

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice I like the idea of short matches but I was actually pretty turned off by how long it takes between matches

Unionhawk

</obligatory>

Fluttershy

20:24

@OrigamiRobot Those were awful times.

Ben Brocka

If your "you win" screen is as long or longer than the match you screwed up

I was getting pretty annoyed with that in Divekick too

Origami Robot

@Fluttershy Not really.

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka My biggest 'issue' was that I just didn't really see anything that set it apart from other, similar games, aside from maybe some more polish. For example, Gentlemen! looks just as fun. I've played it and it's a blast.

foiledgame.com is another great one, and free to boot.

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice There's certainly been a surge in sorta similar local multiplayer twitchy things it seems

But PS4 really needs more local multiplayer so it might do well there

GnomeSlice

The website for Quadsmash appears to no longer exist... guess that's a sure sign the promised online multiplayer is never actually coming. I have it on XBLIG and it's by far the best XBLIG title I've played.

FAE

20:26

@BenBrocka I just went ahead and got it because when it releases, I would've bought it anyway

Ben Brocka

Was kinda disappointed Resogun doesn't have local co op, but I can see how splitscreen wouldn't work well and tying two players to one screen really wouldn't

@FAE Same

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka Yeah, that's a good point. Have you been following Gang Beasts? It's coming to Ps4 as well. So much fun, even in its current state.

FAE

@BenBrocka Pixeljunk has my wallet and my soul.

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka IGS streamed some of that a while ago too.

Ben Brocka

I'm glad I didn't write pixeljunk off after Racers. It's not bad for what it is but...not enough to make me really love what it was either

luckily it was early in PS3's digital games and hell, at the time still one of the best on there

GnomeSlice

20:28

@FAE Buy it and wait for it to be finished.

FAE

@GnomeSlice Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice Resogun? It's fantastic, really impressed with how they used voxels. Good shmup design too

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka Here is everything you need to know about Gang Beasts in one video:

►

@BenBrocka From what I saw, it reminded me a lot of Syder Arcade and Aqua Kitty

FAE

@GnomeSlice I guess I just sort of feel a little bad, because like... I'm sure they expect most people who buy it to test it, and I won't be doing much of that really, if any.

GnomeSlice

Similar gameplay

FAE

20:29

@BenBrocka I really want to play that game.

GnomeSlice

@FAE heh

@FAE Have you played any Aqua Kitty yet? I liked it.

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice Kinda makes me think of Gish multiplayer but with 4 limbs

GnomeSlice

Wasn't quite as polished as I'd hoped though.

FAE

@GnomeSlice Yeah, I played a bunch the night I got it, remember?

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka Yeah, sort of. It's hella fun though, you can download the current alpha on IndieDB.

Ben Brocka

20:29

man that multi was fun, wish they'd put it on a console with online maybe. Gish needs more exposure. Or a Gish 2

GnomeSlice

@FAE I don't remember, but col.

@BenBrocka Gish is pretty well known already.

FAE

@GnomeSlice It's fun enough, but yeah, not super polished. I like it though. It can be decently challenging.

GnomeSlice

@FAE The music is awesome electric-cafe.bandcamp.com/album/aqua-kitty-soundtrack

FAE

@GnomeSlice I like how you can complete the levels even if you don't do it perfectly, so you can still progress, but you can also replay and such.

GnomeSlice

20:30

I'm kind of sad the upgraded desktop edition of Quadsmash appears to have died.

That game deserved a lot more attention than it got.

I could see it being an esport game, like street fighter, even.

badp

@BenBrocka HOW WILL I LIVE WITHOUT MY FREE® CELEBI™

GnomeSlice

@FAE I am a fan of that because I suck at shmups

FAE

@GnomeSlice haha

GnomeSlice

Quadsmash is hands down the best local MP I've ever played for the price I paid. By a wide wide margin.

Even if I've only ever played it 1v1

►

That must be an older version, mine doesn't have that inception sound effect when you score

Such a fun game

I need to get my xbox hooked back up to the internet so I can play it again

Is crazy craft and orespawn mod the same thing in minecraft? My friend told me about crazy craft, but are they the same thing?

GnomeSlice

20:34

Does anybody know if you can tether an iPhone to an Xbox 360 for internet?

badp

choices choices

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice if the iPhone is allowed to wireless tether and the other device has wireless I don't see why it wouldn't

I can even use my Android's tethering on my DS

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka I meant over the cable actually, my xbox 360 is pre wireless

like, through USB

Ben Brocka

@badp Good thing they grandfathered you in!

@GnomeSlice Oh, hrm, not sure about that

Unionhawk

@badp Heh. Dropbox?

GnomeSlice

20:36

Stupid Xbox 360 won't let you play indie games without an internet connection

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice That looks cool

@badp lol

GnomeSlice

@SaintWacko It is. Very cool. There's a demo. desura.com/games/quadsmash

SaintWacko

@GnomeSlice o.0

GnomeSlice

I've not tried the PC variant, but ignore all the stuff about promised LAN and online play because the game is long long dead

@SaintWacko Yeah, it's dumb.

badp

@BenBrocka The thing is, the blog says "If you already pay for storage, you’ll automatically move to a better plan at no additional cost." So I don't know if I just haven't been upgraded yet automatically, or if there's some catch that makes my current plan still not worse in every possible way, or if they just didn't bother to touch grandfathered plans

Ben Brocka

20:38

@badp Oh, damn

SaintWacko

@badp What is this, by the way?

Dropbox?

Ben Brocka

Hopefully that's just not shown on the thinger

badp

@SaintWacko Google Drive.

Combo breaker.

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy ?

Wow, I filled like an entire page of chat

Awesome

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice You had 13 posts in a row. I couldn't allow the combo counter to keep building, so I had to interrupt. That's all.

badp

@SaintWacko I really like Dropbox, but I've always found their storage options expensive

SaintWacko

@badp Yeah, I don't have enough stuff to store to need to pay

Plus, I keep a 16gb flash drive in my pocket and a 2TB pocket external hard drive in my Camber

badp

I have 32.6 GB on Dropbox, but 25 GB of it are from the Dropbox Space Race and I think that'll expire some time this year

...and I'm only using 4.1 GB

Ben Brocka

20:55

I just use dropbox to sync small ROMs and save files to my phone/tablet/PC. I'd love a cloud backup solution but I tried Crashplan and it was far, far too slow to meaninfully back up anything

SaintWacko

I mainly use Dropbox to store my library

And I have it set to automatically upload any pictures I take on my phone

And any screenshots I take on my computer

Ben Brocka

I have google+ auto-upload for photo syncing

which is great except for the incessant Google+ notification it causes

GnomeSlice

So Steam thinks Dino Horde is downloaded when it still had like 700 MB to go, so it doesn't launch correctly

and verifying files on steam hasn't worked in several versions

Guess I have to delete it and start over

Origami Robot

@SaintWacko Isn't it technically against the ToS to store copyrighted material on Dropbox?

GnomeSlice

Won't be playing this weekend then I guess

Origami Robot

20:57

(I'm not trying to "gotcha" you, I'm legitimately asking)

FEichinger

> You currently have 99.25 GB of Dropbox space.

FAE

@BenBrocka We use Crashplan but for not for like, savegames and stuff like that. I use it more for media/files and such that I want to save long term.

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice Congratulations! You're already having more fun than you would have actually playing that game. :D

GnomeSlice

20:59

@Fluttershy I really enjoyed it many versions ago. Haven't played it in some time.

Ben Brocka

@FAE I meant Crashplan for an everything backup. Attempting to store a terrabyte of data in Crashplan is apparently futile since the best it would ever upload at was like 16KBps

GnomeSlice

It got worse at one point but I hear it's actually a lot of fun now

A group of people from indiegamestand were going to play it tomorrow

They were hoping I could join

guess not

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, it is. A few people have had their accounts canceled because of it
