Q: Parthonax question about shouts he teaches you

user72120If I have learned all of the fire breath shouts, will auld win teach me some other shouts or just not teach u anything and be useless?

The second episode of Cosmos has a really misleading title.
TV Shows still have episode titles? o.O
00:07
@FEichinger oh hai :3
@spugsley BUTT.
@FEichinger DO NOT START THIS YOU DON'T WANT TO START THIS
@spugsley YOU'RE THE ONE STARTING THIS
@FEichinger I MAKE CUTE HAPPY FACES AND YOU THINK THEY ARE BUTTS
@spugsley NOT MY FAULT THEY LOOK LIKE BUTTS.
00:09
@FEichinger NOT MY FAULT YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT MY BUTT
@spugsley Actually, I think that may be your fault.
@FEichinger yeah I think you might be right
@Unionhawk That took longer than expected.
I wanted to see where that was going to end up
00:14
butt butt butt butt
@Yuki don't you start with the butts too!
@spugsley Most people end in butts though.
3
Unless you have a buttface.
@Unionhawk someday I'm going to trick @FEichinger into telling me I have a nice butt.
and it'll be a glorious day
@spugsley Not gonna happen.
@Yuki I <3 you
00:16
@spugsley You came pretty close with "I think that may be your fault"
@FEichinger we shall see
Seriously misleading title.
@AshleyNunn Yay!!
@Unionhawk yes, that's why I think it can indeed be done
@spugsley No chance.
00:17
Cosmos E02 - "Some Of The Things Molecules Do": Entire episode is about evolution.
Probably a chance

Q: A tool that automatically lays blocks and walls?

NinjakrebornI have seen an item in-game several times but thought nothing of it. The item was meant to automatically lay block. Another was used to lay background. I cannot seem to find them now that I want to see what they do. What do they do, and how do I obtain them. Does anyone know what they were named?

@FEichinger Uh huh.
00:17
also, hi all
someone should start a count "How many days has it been since @FEichinger talked about @spugsley's butt"
because right now it's zero
> countdown
@FEichinger fail
@spugsley I SAW IT.
@FEichinger you have no proof
00:19
YOUR EDIT HAS NOT GONE UNNOTICED.
"How many days until @FEichinger talks about @spugsley's butt again: 0" That'd be a countdown
@spugsley I have ALL TEH PROOF!
@FEichinger :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@Unionhawk That's not true!
Uh huh.
00:20
@AshleyNunn So what're the details??
soooo I just realized that my birthday is a little less than a month away
and since I'll be turning a quarter of a century old, who's going to get me Tom Hiddleston?
user15026
@Ktash I am going to be in various Canadian Tire stores in my area trying to get people to sign up for credit cards
@spugsley @FEichinger
@Unionhawk Yeeeh ... no.
@Unionhawk Ooooo now that would be fun. Me and Tom Hiddleston and @FEichinger :o
00:21
@spugsley ...
facedesk
@spugsley o.0
@FEichinger I mean, there's plenty of room in your underbed
achievement unlocked: younger than @spugsley
I hate you all.
@spugsley I stop the being a quarter of a century old thing saturday.
00:22
@spugsley >.>
@OrigamiRobot Don't blame me for this one.
@Arperum happy... unbirthday?
My birthday is in 3 days. Since I'll be turning a fifth of a century old, who'll laugh at @OrigamiRobot for being old with me?
@spugsley :o ... We're gonna have fun with that
@badp Not yet.
@AshleyNunn yay!!
00:23
@FEichinger Oh you will be blamed.
Why is everyones birthday this week?
didn't know it was an option, since I think I missed that day/interview, but yay job!! :)
@Ktash :O
@OrigamiRobot I have nothing to do with this!
@FEichinger You are 8 years younger than the paperbot...
00:24
@FEichinger You are part of "you all"
ATTENTION EVERYONE, HERE IS TODAY'S GIF OF THE DAY, FOR TUESDAY, THE NINETEENTH OF MARCH, TWO THOUSAND AND FOURTEEN.
Sorry, but them's the rules.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
THANK YOU. THIS HAS BEEN TODAYS GIF OF THE DAY.
00:25
@LessPop_MoreFizz What the fuck is going on?
I think this is all @Unionhawk's fault because he volunteered @FEichinger to get me Tom Hiddleston for my birthday
I'll accept any blame for making people who are older than me feel old.
@spugsley You know it's true ;)
@origamirob dikembe motumbo's finger wag is literally the best thing.
00:25
@Unionhawk Not according to the Official GraceNote Bridge Age Chartâ„¢.
@Ktash :D
@spugsley Yes, this is indeed all @Uni's fault. Purely and solely @Uni's fault.
@LessPop_MoreFizz There is nothing better. Accept no substitutes.
@FEichinger My headcanon != Gracenote's headcanon, since I am, decidedly, not Gracenote
@Unionhawk In my headcanon you are.
00:26
@Unionhawk But it's Official!
@arp, the dude holding the basketball is Dikembe Motumbo, a former NBA player famous for blocking shots and then taunting people with a wag of the finger. In this case, he totally Lucy and Charlie browned the Denver nuggets mascot during a fun pregame ceremony, and by the looks on the faces of people in the gif, was not expected to do that and followed it up with his awesome finger wag.
@FEichinger YOUR PROFILES ARE MORE OFFICIAL
@Unionhawk BLASPHEMY!
Nothing is more official than GraceNote's headcanon!
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh wow, I didn't know he actually does that as a normal thing.
THEY HAVE NUMBERS, THE AGE CHART HAS RELATIVE COMPARISONS BASED ON GUESSES
00:28
@LessPop_MoreFizz Thanks for explaining!
@Unionhawk NUMBERS THAT LIE.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Dikembe Motumbo is my spirit animal
@origamirob yeah, he was famous for it. Got fined a few times too IIRC.
'Unsportsmanlike conduct'
@LessPop_MoreFizz A travesty.
@spugsley Does he kick babies too?
00:30
@Arperum if he does then I legally need to marry him
@spugsley But what about @IanPugsley? Or @FEichinger?
@Arperum :O Are you saying I'm married to @FEichinger?!
THAT'S AMAZING
00:32
CC @FEichinger x ONE MILLION
Better dikembe footage.
I hate when a plan backfires like this.
@spugsley I did not, I might have implied things though. Because living in his underbed and all that stuff.
@Arperum you've made this the best day ever
Oh I'm also married to @AshleyNunn just fyi
@FEichinger What master plan could you have possibly have had?
user15026
00:33
@spugsley Yes this is Bridge truth
@Unionhawk A plan that wouldn't get me involved in the Bridge love net.
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT.
YOU JERKS YOU DONT NEED JUMPSCARES IN SHERLOCK
...And... that would have worked... because?
@FEichinger That plan was foiled quite some time ago, around the time @spugsley moved into your underbed.
@Arperum I suppose.
00:35
@RedRiderX Baskervilles?
lol why the fuck am I living in @FEichinger's underbed anyway? I don't even remember
@OrigamiRob isn't that geico ad a thousand times funnier when you know that it is actually a thing he does?
@spugsley NEITHER DO I.
@LessPop_MoreFizz A million hours funnier.
00:35
@FEichinger I read accepting your Bridge marriage with @spugsley in this.
Over a long enough interval of time, all bridge regulars will become a part of the Bridge love net. And nobody will remember when it happened.
@origamirob grumble grumble autocorrect.
@Arperum NO. NO NO NO. OH GOD HELP ME, NO.
@spugsley Apparently that's @badp's fault.
Nov 17 '13 at 21:49, by badp
@spugsley I'm in Munich but I won't be here for long. I'm sure you can rent the area below @FEichinger's bed though
@LessPop_MoreFizz I was going to roll with it and make these chumps feel left out for not knowing our hip new lingo.
... Reading that again, it also means @badp lived in my underbed at one point.
Eww.
00:37
@FEichinger TOO LATE NOW. YOUR FATE IS SEALED.
@FEichinger nice~
@FEichinger yeah, I rented the space from him.
Nov 17 '13 at 21:51, by spugsley
@FEichinger apparently, I'm living under your bed now
He owns the space in your underbed
@badp best mod
It's being sublet for very reasonable rates.
00:37
@FEichinger Wait? @badp was your previous partner?
4
this is the best Bridge conversation ever. I'm crying.
And that marks the end of this conversation.
In case your plan hasn't sufficiently backfired by now...
:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
00:39
@badp Why do those look like really weird teeth?
I... am quite disturbed now
Thanks for that
@badp is that @OrigamiRobot in the corner?
@badp I never noticed the tiny robot on the left.
00:39
That totally needed to be in chat twice
@Arperum Not a robot.
A plane.
@spugsley He hasn't just been renting his underbed, you see.
Wait ... it is a robot.
HOLY SHIT, IT IS A ROBOT.
2
HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THAT?
BRB, CHANGING GRAVATAR. HOLY FUCK.
@FEichinger Lies, it's @OrigamiRobot.

00:41
waits
On that note, new Critical Miss:
That last frame would make for a really disturbing gravatar.
Your FACE would make for a really disturbing gravatar.
Hah, found one.
New gravatar incoming ...
Oct 11 '13 at 23:51, by FEichinger
Did I mention that people changing their avatars are literally worse than Hitler? Because I kinda forgot mentioning that back when I said people who change their names are literally worse than Hitler.
I was waiting for that.
@Unionhawk I have a valid reason.
THERE WAS A ROBOT IN MY GRAVATAR.
00:46
@FEichinger Said valid reason being "I feel like being literally worse than Hitler today."
I will never refresh chat again.
WHAT THE HELL KIND OF REASON IS THAT
Also: my new gravatar is badass.
quick someone remove/readd @Sterno's ownership
@FEichinger Now you are just some random casual again. Your face is unconnected to your person.
00:47
@Unionhawk Well, you can count on someone to do half of that.
avatar changes are the worst.
Might as well do that first.
@Arperum Same face, actually.
@Arperum No, that would avatar and name changes.
00:48
Man, I'm going to be confused as hell for the next week or so.
@FEichinger It looks different when it's being aside of your posts. ergo different.
coughcoughMichaelDunfieldcoughcough
SOMEONE ELSE CHANGED THEIR GRAVATAR! MY WORLDVIEW IS DESTROYED!
EVERYBODY PANIC
Now I need to rewire someone in my mental relation chart again.
00:49
(Seriously, though, I hate gravatar changes as much as you do.)
SO I'M CHANGING IT AGAIN!
New favorite thing about How I Met Your Mother: They got Boyz II Men to sing a song all about slapping people. In the face. Their stupid face.
@FEichinger I don't think the hitlers cancel. I think you end up with hitler squared.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TIME I NEED TO WASTE NOW? I NEED TO READ YOUR NAME EVERYTIME TO SEE WHO POSTED IT (Also, don't undermine my rant while I'm busy typing really slowly)
@Unionhawk Never said I'm changing it back.
LEVEL 2 HITLER ACHIEVED.
00:51
@FEichinger Doesn't look like the same character/face.
@Yuki Nope. Different character this time.
Whoa the change propegated immediately that time.
Magic!
AND NOW, FOR LEVEL 3 HITLERIFICATION.
And the absolute overkill on bad gravatars.
Alright, seriously, I have a meeting. So while @FEichinger figures out how he wants to look on the internet, I'M OUT
@Unionhawk Nooo, you need to see this one!
It's perfect.
00:53
Oh god no.
Dude. 3,000 milliHitlers are chips
@FEichinger awesome!
This is how the game is played.
Do we have a high score for hitlerometers?
@FEichinger STOP CHANGING YOUR FACE IN AN ATTEMPT TO HIDE THE TRUTH.
00:54
How much did the original XBOne plans fare?
Just accept that you like robots.
Now I can go back to my real gravatar.
OR CAN YOU
warms up mod abuse muscles
I'm a little amazed that Zisteau hasn't crashed KSP more often
THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM. LEVEL 4!
@MBraedley Oh, btw, did you hear? Whackjob fried his laptop.
00:56
It hadn't reached chat yet
@FEichinger Now you look like butts in a box.
@arp possibly an homage to @spu?
@FEichinger who?
@Arperum This brings us back to the topic at hand, I guess.
@badp Probably.
00:57
@badp huh? :o
51 secs ago, by Arperum
@FEichinger Now you look like butts in a box.
@MBraedley Guy who launches pointlessly huge, high-part-count ships for no good reason other than "hey, this is a crapton of parts".
@Arperum yup, if @FEichinger is talking about butts, it's probably in reference to mine
@spugsley Not true!
00:58
Sony's VR is real
There are other butts for me to talk about.
@FEichinger pssshhhhh
@spugsley He isn't talking about them, he changed his avatar in butts in a box.
@FEichinger Robot butts?
@ben link?
00:59
@FEichinger You took a picture of my butt? :O
3
@Arperum No, definitely not robot butts.

Q: good games for beginners

user3314801I used to play games when I was younger but I stopped for a few years. Now I'm getting back into it, at the age of 19. I wanted to ask what good games there are that aren't too hard for beginners that I could complete after Halo 4, GTA V, and AC3? I've been playing those games for a while and do...

@BenBrocka which is the real one?
Are they both sony?
@Lazers No.
@FEichinger don't watch him. I watch Scott Manley (of course), Zisteau, Kurtjmac, and Danny2462, and I know of a few others like HOC, Streetlamp, and SolarGamer
01:00
@RedRiderX same device different view
Oh
Really?
Hmm
first one just looks different because of the angle and bad lighting
Oh okay
> "This prototype is by no means final, and we'll continue to work on this to improve, but we believe this is a good representation of how PlayStation will deliver VR."
Pretty good looking IMO
Wonder about weight and price mostly
Btw: Everything is back to normal. Carry on.
01:03
Oh, good. @Ori has a home again
Sounds like it uses the PS4 camera somehow
Which was briefly in stock today so I managed to order one! It's out again though
@AshleyNunn Added an answer to your Steamworld Question, any thoughts?
Whoa whoa whoa ....
@ben I wonder if it's on par or behind the Oculus in terms of market readiness
user15026
@Slowpoke goes to look
01:05
It is entirely possible that Sony might have the upper hand in terms of being able to custom make panels just for this product
@badp According to a leaker it's similar to the Valve VR prototype IIRC, the one people said was better than Crystal Cove
@FEichinger I've been found out. :(
Dr. Richard Marks with SCEA R&D: The concept of "presence" that VR brings is something you have to experience to understand.
Hopefully they're being very picky about immersion. FPS and such tops graphical fancies for VR. Kinda hope they'll force devs to target a certain, high, FPS
@ben don't forget you have to render the scene twice — although on half resolution each time
If Sony thinks it can work I trust them, they've been pretty good about keeping things under wraps until they're ready lately, media playback features aside
01:14
I'm not exactly too hot about the upcoming fragmentation between PS4 and PC for VR stuff.
Also because I'm iffy about the controller story PC wise.
Does it not use a normal controller on PC?
I figured with OR it'd just be standard Xinput or something, KB/M isn't going to be pleasant for that
@ben yes, but the XB360 controller doesn't do motion tracking.
@badp they're going to be talking with devs they've already said, I'm sure MANY people will bring up PC support/cross dev
The PS4 one does
I guess, both do HEAD tracking though don't they? That's the big one I'd think
01:19
Yeah, but now they're discussing arm tracking
> Best practices include low latency, high framerate, calibration, clean rendering (without graphical artifacts, presumably) and 3D audio.
I thought we had 3D audio down pat years ago
It's not super common in console games though. And often implimented a bit wonky as sound passes from direction to direction
more excited about high framerate though
Yeah, they're talking peripherals now
Although I guess a Wii like device - or, hell, an actual Wii controller - would be close enough?
(See also his point about controller frames)
@badp you can use a Wii controller on PC, though sensor bar is a problem
01:24
DAT HOUND
@RedRiderX Just reached the end?
WHAT A TWIST!
@ben distance, I guess?
@badp No like, getting a sensor bar, since it's a proprietary plugin. You either need a wireless one or to move over your wii
but yeah distance from the source is an issue too
01:26
@BenBrocka Not really... The sensor bar is just 4 IR-LEDs. You can use 2 candles in a pinch. ;)
I need context for this picture
You can quite easily make a 3rd party sensor bar with a bit of solder knowledge.
@mic huh, two candles?
@MichaelFrank Yeah but who has something that can replicate it on-hand? It'd be better for something they could sell and be third party
01:27
@badp it's triangulating based on lights in the sensorbar
EVERYBODY CAN EXPLORE THEIR MOST BRAIN WRECKING PHOBIAS NOW
> Anton says one feature of the dev kit is a processing unit inside that can mirror the image onto a normal screen, so others can join in without needing their own headset.
Niiiice
The candles worked terribly though.
Though if it's just mirroring I suppose local multi is still out of the question
01:28
@ben so that means rendering the same scene thrice?
Morpheus dev kit has a 1080p display and a 90 degree field of view, Mikhailov says.
xbox am cry
@badp naw mirroring is dirt cheap, render once split signal
But if the images are the same then local multi's not going to happen
@ben it's not really mirroring, you probably don't want aberration compensation on your tv
Although people on YouTube do fine with it so meh
it supports glasses!
@badp it's probably going to look stupid but the point is being able to share at all not seeing a perfect TV-designed image
And now the part about the release dates I guess
@ben every Oculus demo I've seen on YouTube does that
It's more likely that games render without worry of aberration compensation and that specific transformation happens only either on your head or anyway only just before hitting the wire
@FEichinger TOO LATE
01:33
No
Never mind
It's actually triple rendering
> Sony has some interesting ideas for asymmetric gameplay with the Morpheus, such that one player can have the headset and be the hero, and then when another player beats them, with a totally different control scheme, they get to take over.
Poor gamepad
Man triple rendering is going to be... taxing
triple? Why triple?
One per eye, and a third for the asymmetric experience
@badp oh, yeah, that'll probably be for less-graphics intensive games. Still, sweet idea. You could have asymmetric gameplay 10x more immersive than the Gamepad and even triple rendered it probably still looks better than the poor Wii U can do...
01:38
I'm not sure about local multiplayer for VR. I always thought it'd be more of a... personal experience
One that's kinda awkward for other people in your physical proximity
Still cool to have the possibility
Yes.
I still think there's a huge opportunity to take all those 2D sprite based JRPGs and just port them to VR.
It probably would destroy some of the charm, but being able to actually walk through (say) Onett would be interesting.
Or whatever.
@spugsley So when is your bday, actually?
@Ktash April 15th :)
Well yes the home owning scenario becomes a bit of a tougher sell
01:43
> There's a special build of Thief from Square Enix, for the Morpheus as well.
Hng VR Dishonored
Even with those ugly textures
VR Street view
@badp That's actually kinda neat even on Wii U
Man VR Endless Ocean would be amazing
So, Sony is likely to have better panels and controllers. Oculus has an important advantage in terms of content right out of the gate, for what good that does then, and it'll generally run on higher end computers.
As for who's hitting the market first, that's anybody's guess
Software partners. VR plugins for Unity and UE4 are all but certain. Cryengine too
@ben the indie scene has had nothing but the Oculus to target so far. If we are talking stuff done just for VR, Oculus is likely to be ahead here and now
For what good that does them in the longer term
01:52
They're both super new tools. Hopefully they get a standard framework of some sort between them, or at least Unity and UE4 add some sort of layer to make the transition easy
Unity 5 was announced yesterday
so the timing is kind of odd
So what's the difference between this and the Sony Head Mounted HDTV? o.O
@MichaelFrank Everything. The head mounted TV is just a display that's really close to your eyes. It has no tracking, no low-persistence, no games designed specifically for it
head tracking and immersion (FOV, high FPS, low latency) are the major things that make VR instead of a TV in your face
Did MS announce anything on this topic?
Nope
They were too busy thinking about casuals who don't actually care to think about weird nerds who would actually wear things on their heads
Hell they wanted to kill controllers, you think they'd design something you wear on your head?
