Oh. I see your pain
Unfortunately I've already downvoted your post and can't downvote it again
@badp It's okay. I'll probably make it anyway. Thank you for your concern.
Oh, look. He changed the 2048 gif.
@badp Time to playthrough again
17:01
no, no, I'm looking at your post
@fredley lool
"+5%"
@badp Yes, that's quite a bit, but for what you're getting it's peanuts
oh, 5% of revenues
I see.
17:10
> If your game makes $1,000,000, then we make $50,000.
@fredley Once you have the source code, don't you have it?
I'm baffled by the "/mo" part though. Once you have the source code, what are the next payments for?
Given that hosting your game on the iOS store will cost you 30%, that's not a big ask
I guess... bug fixes? ...licensing?
@fredley Is this the same engine behind Unreal Tournament 3, or is it a newer evolution?
because the UT3 engine was shite.
@badp Updates, support, community. In game-dev budgeting terms, $19 is not even an amount of money.
@badp UT4
> WELCOME TO UNREAL ENGINE 4
> Unreal Engine 4 launches today.
17:12
@fredley big might be an understatement right there. speechless
@fredley That is beyond awesome.
> "$19 is just the tire kicker filter... all those people who would never actually ship a game (most devs) are not going to waste the time of the unreal engine team with their beginner requests."
and yeah, UT3 was using version 3 of the engine.
@badp Typo? Wikipedia is sometimes wrong.
Oh I see
> Unreal Engine 4 was unveiled to limited attendees at the 2012 Game Developers Conference
I didn't realize the doge2048 question had SEVENTY upvotes.
17:16
@fredley The Huffman distance between "May 2012" and "March 2014" is large, but you might want to tack a [citation needed]
@StrixVaria It also has 6 downvotes! Come join the club!
I just realized what the best game ever would be
A combination of KSP and Planet Explorers
@SaintWacko ...and doge
@fredley ...No
Clearly we need to purchase Unreal 4 and create a fully realized 3D version of doge2048.
No, the best game ever would be open-world fish survival.
17:17
@fredley Doge dies 1 second into the first cutscene. And there was much rejoicing.
@fredley Doge still alive 7 seconds in the video
Seriously, though, in this game you'd start with nothing, work your way up, build vehicles, bases, eventually a launch pad and rockets and everything could be designed yourself with the ingame editor
@SaintWacko So like Spore, but good?
@SaintWacko Shutup. I don't want to buy your planet explorers.
17:21
@fredley Kinda
@Arperum Yes you do
> You've gained 111 x Nevercold Brass Sliver (new total 35848).
@SaintWacko No I don't I still have ~100 games on my "to play" list.
@Arperum But none of them are as good as this one
And I got starbound as an early birthday gift today.
@SaintWacko I am not in the position to go spend piles of money on games I'll barely ever play! I'm signing the deed for the house I'm buying somewhere this week. And get a loan. loans are pricey as fuck.
Stupid java services effectively killing my network interface

Q: MINECRAFT PE ON IPAD

JacquiI have purchased this app on my ipad and want my kids to be able to play it on their ipad. Can I load it on their one without having to purchase it again?

17:39
@SaintWacko I was being completely serious.
Blah
The cafeteria at work is out of everything good
They're out of ketchup so I can't have a good hamburger
They're out of mushrooms so I can't have a good quesadilla
Lack of ketchup also makes fries out of the question
@SaintWacko All you need is seasoned salt for fries!
@SaintWacko And with that, I'm going to go get me some fries. Belgian fries. Like really good ones.
@SaintWacko This statement makes literally no sense.
My dislike of mushrooms aside, I've never even heard of putting mushrooms into a quesadilla, and I love quesadillas.
@SaintWacko Good hamburgers don't need ketchup.
17:50
@StrixVaria It's amazing
Therefore good quesadilles do not require mushrooms.
Also, in my personal view, adding mushrooms to a thing can never make that thing better.
chicken quesadilla with mushrooms and onions
Would not eat.
mmm~ queso
You don't need ketchup for good fries either.
Ketchup is for making bad things taste acceptable.
17:54
I don't like mushrooms.
The thought of putting fungus on food is... ick.
Ugh, that quesadilla looks good
@OrigamiRobot This is the absolute truth. It's how you get kids to eat most anything, though we use ranch dressing for vegetables.
Maybe I'll see if they can make me one with steak and onion
onions make everything better
@StrixVaria There are mushrooms in onion soup at japanese steakhouses. I don't eat the mushrooms, but I imagine they contribute to the overall flavor. That's the only thing I like with mushrooms in it.
A chinese place here made amazing veggie beef with spicy sauce, only thing I've ever enjoyed mushrooms in
@Sconibulus I'm starting to agree with this more and more.
Onion Snickers
@BenBrocka veggie beef as in, no meat or meat and veggies?
@Krazer beef and assorted veggies
17:58
mmm, meta
That stuff was perfect, but they closed down last year
Though I would be remiss, as a Canadian, if I did not point out that good fries need gravy and cheese curds.
@BenBrocka you should've gotten their recipe
@JasonBerkan mmm, poutine
@TimStone it really depends on who makes the meta, sometimes it'll leave a bad taste in you mouth
18:01
@JasonBerkan I've had pseudo-poutine here, which you would probably find offensive (it used mozzarella instead of cheese curds). I want to try real poutine.
@StrixVaria I personally don't, as that's how I make it at home, because who buys cheese curds?
I refuse to believe that gravy and cheese go together.
@BenBrocka I would try it
@JasonBerkan Quebecois
@Krazer Mais oui.
18:03
So free to play was released..
@JasonBerkan It's also big in Minnesota
@StrixVaria A lot of poutine made outside of Quebec uses mozza instead of cheese curds.
Buffalo Wild Wings has fried cheese curds on their appetizer menu which is delicious.
cheese curds are amazing
Have to have them fresh, though
@TimStone I haven't been there since college. Good hang out place
@KevinvanderVelden slothpatrol.com
@KevinvanderVelden Nightmare fuel.
@OrigamiRobot no, what gnomeslice posted is your nightmare fuel
Good thing I can't see it.
18:18
Don't make me ignore you too!
Did Buffalo Wild Wings used to have another word in their name?
I'm trying to figure out why its also known as BW3s.
I don't know, honestly. I don't think so
> Originally called Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck, from which the abbreviation BW3 was created, the restaurant became a franchise
@Powerlord Maybe If you turn 3 sideways it looks like a bird?
oh
The Internet says yes
18:27
@Powerlord It's called, annoyingly, "b-dubs" a lot around here
> Originally called Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck
@Unionhawk Well, I thought valve had fixed that one once already
Apparently they broke it again.
slow clap
@Powerlord I guess. I don't know.
18:32
My favorite part of Sailor Moon is whenever a cat uses a computer

Q: How do i create a mcpe seed exactly how i want it

Blue dragon2426Thanx in advance please send a link if you can or be very specific in how to create it also i dont want any mods

@MBraedley â„¢
@GnomeSlice I know, but it's absurd that a safety device can't be imported because of colour.
@MBraedley Yes, it is.
18:40
@StrixVaria Come by any time. I'll show you real poutine.
@Frank 3am?
@OrigamiRobot Dude, if you make it here at 3 AM, I'll get up just to greet you.
Echotone looked cool, same with floor is jelly. Cool that Gemcraft will be on Steam
You sound like 3am is some kind of impossible time.
18:42
@OrigamiRobot I'm asleep then. It's an impossible time.
Less exciting is the addition of "Bonetown" but whatever
@BenBrocka Lol, Algo Bot got greenlit
Burrito Galaxy and BosonX too
BosonX is free innit?
@BenBrocka I don't think I'd heard of Ecotone before. Looks cool.
@Fluttershy Operation Smash got greenlit
@BenBrocka I'm happy to see Proven Lands in there too, although the game is far from finished.
@GnomeSlice I did an LP of it...and apparently left the name mispelled this whole time
Hah, Classroom Aquatic got greenlit
@Ullallulloo Waiting for someone to make a 5D 2058 that's just one tile per "square"
@Ullallulloo how do you move non-2d?
oh, wait, nevermind, I'm dumb
...People who aren't Valve are allowed to make Portal games? steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=234104213
I mean, it's a mod, but still.
It's a mod. They've greenlit mods before
So it's Gateways in 3D?
Oh man, new footage for Hover
This game gon be good
@BenBrocka You should do one of these
@Ullallulloo So... yes?
@GnomeSlice As long as it's a free mod.
And the special exception for Black Mesa
...which has slipped back into limbo best I can tell
@GnomeSlice interesting pikminy kinda thing going on I guess?
@Ullallulloo My brain is now broken
@BenBrocka Yeah!

Q: Soundtrack of "Free To Play" - Dota 2 Movie

FrithjofIs there a downloadable version of the soundtrack from the movie "Free To Play" by Valve (paid or free)?

Guess they have those at GDC
Everyone should watch this
@BenBrocka N++!!!
@Mana's friend's game Rex Rocket got greenlit as well.
@Ullallulloo Ow
Someone's gone and upvoted my old MC answer (current top)
Doge significance decreasing
@Frank my only goal was to annoy you and it seems that I've succeeded. — Adam Arold Mar 16 at 17:31
lol
Positive rep for a zero effort brain dead question is something that shouldn't happen.
19:16
Questions like that are why questions are only worth 5 points now
Though as stated it's not always a very strong deterrent, even if you DO care about rep
@BenBrocka And most likely why question downvotes are free.
And yet, it's STILL too easy to get rep from them.
@Frank Definitely not a problem he's facing with a game
@SaintWacko Nope. Still, with lore questions, we've kinda gotten past that reasoning.
Although I really wish we hadn't.

Q: Does Wheatley actually look for my dead body after an hour?

commandoNear the beginning of the game (Test Chamber 02 to be precise), right before you find the single-portal gun, you fall down a shaft and into some water. Wheatley asks Can you see the portal gun? He then continues: Also, are you alive? That's important, should have asked that first. ...

'not an actual problem' is a stupid argument
@Frank Me too
19:25
Need more delete votes on this, and this
They're positively scored, so Community won't auto-delete them.
And this one, too.
Should we close this?
Much appreciated.
@GnomeSlice No, it's perfectly on-topic. I personally don't think it's a great question, but not close worthy.
But it's not an actual problem they face? Right?
Bugh, idk
19:29
You could say that about a lot of things.
"problem" is hard to pin down, so if that's the only reason you can use to close something then the question might be more worthy of a downvote than a close vote.
@Wipqozn Finally, somebody who agrees with me.
Although "not being a problem they face" is one of the reasons certain people hate lore questions.
Ahoy Bridge
Ahoy? What do you think this is a? A bridge?!?!?
oh, wait...
@Wipqozn Ahoy is used for seafaring vessels.
19:34
@DavidM Don't steal my thing
@Frank That is indeed the joke.
Technically, some ships have a bridge.
@GnomeSlice Since when is that your thing?
But you usually address the ship, not a section of the ship.
@DavidM Well, maybe not in here, but I say it like everywhere else
19:34
@Frank Captain on Bridge.
Etc.
@GnomeSlice How would we do that anyway? Are you King Missile?
@DavidM Yes, acceptable usage.
@Powerlord ?
@Frank I'm just saying, you can salute a part of the ship.
@GnomeSlice I can tell you didn't Google that name. :D
19:36
@DavidM When addressing a person, yes. But you're addressing a section of a ship. A non-living, non-responding bit.
@Powerlord Sometimes I find it in the medicine cabinet.
Kinda like talking to a wall.
@Frank Captain to Bridge . . . Bridge, aye.
@DavidM Where is there an ahoy in there?
@Frank Ahoy Bridge . . . Bridge, aye.
19:38
The whole point of it is to make your presence known to that area. Which, when using anything beyond voice power, is a moot point.
Best talk at #GDC2014 so far is definitely @Demruth passionate story about #antichamber
Also, I'm arguing semantics because I'm eating lunch and have nothing better to do.
@Frank Hahahahaha
Ahoy is a general call of hailing.
@DavidM By itself, yes.
When added to anything else, it's a call for attention.
@Frank And, the bridge is not just the physical space, but also the crew working it.
19:39
@DavidM Make it so.
@Powerlord Aye aye
@DavidM On a seafaring wooden ship, I can see the usage, except they HAVE no bridge.
On anything that DOES have a bridge, there are technological measures that render it moot.
This looks like an awesome party game
@Frank How about on a ship that does have a bridge which uses the old fashioned pipe system for calling?
Jin

I want to 3d print the Arqade ship..

19:41
@DavidM Moot point; pipes only go to one area each.
... Are we arguing about the semantics of the name of this chat room?
2 mins ago, by Frank
Also, I'm arguing semantics because I'm eating lunch and have nothing better to do.
@Frank Just making sure I know what's going on.
Which is almost done, so I will defer the argument once I finish stuffing my face.

Q: How to see total Commander kills in Battlefield 4?

SSumnerI play a good bit of commander mode in Battlefield 4. There are a few ways to get kills as a commander (destroying an enemy gunship, dropping a supply crate on someone), but most notably is launching a cruise missile. I recently get 10 kills in a match with missiles, but looking all throughout Ba...

19:42
To be pedantic . . . We're arguing usage, not semantics. Semantics is meaning. But, we both agree on the meaning of ahoy, just not its usage.
@Frank OK, a general intercom.
@DavidM Huh. Half the time I've heard "semantics" used, it also seemed to include usage.
@DavidM Are there any ships that HAD general intercoms?
So I kinda took that to be part of its definition.
Either way, lunch is complete, so I'm deferring the argument.
19:44
@Frank Post-radio warships?
Wouldn't know, I'm not big on boats.
@Yuki I dunno, either. Hence why I was asking.
But it's a moot point, since I'm going to stuff my head back into FF X.
@Frank Of course there were.

Q: "Semantic"s relation to "Pedantic"

TimidgerWhen pointing out to my friends one day that I should have used a different word in a previous conversation, I mentioned that I was being pedantic. They, ironically, corrected me saying I was being semantic. When I pointed out that their distinction was being pedantic, they again disagreed, sayin...

@Lazers Do we really need a tag?
@Frank What is a commander-mode?
@Frank Nope.
19:48
@Frank No.
Because without knowing, I'm gonna say yes.
@DavidM It's a special play mode for B4.
@DavidM The commander mode in Battlefield.
For a single person for each side.
Ah, then no.
@DavidM Specifically instead of playing from the viewpoint of a soldier (FPS), you play as a battlefield commander (more RTS-like).
19:49
We'll need a few more suggested edit rejects, then.
Definitely not.
@Frank Done.
Anyways! Back into a decade old game!
@Yuki Yeah, that thing TF2 dropped during its first major design change because they didn't think it meshed well with FPSes.
Interesting that Battlefield includes it.
@Powerlord Natural Selection had it well before Battlefield picked it up.
19:55
@Powerlord I figure it ties more in to the battlefield concept. TF2 doesn't have vehicles and other stuff.
@MichaelFrank Nuclear Dawn had it before Natural Selection. I think. Maybe.
@Yuki I couldn't tell you, never played that one. :)
RTS/FPS hybrids aren't anything new. They just aren't all that popular.
@RedRiderX If you're still looking for local MP games for Android: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rabbx.tnns
@Yuki True, but I'm talking about old TF2, as in the 1998ish Brotherhood of Arms version.
@Yuki Also, Natural Selection is quite old... unless you're talking about Natural Selection 2.
The commander-mode tag is entirely unneccessary. Battlefield 4 covers all of the game, and we don't have nearly enough questions to require additional tags for filtering. — Frank 10 mins ago
@Frank Why did you take the time to complain about the tag but not remove it?
19:57
@GnomeSlice Because edit wars are bad
Natural Selection 1 being an HL1 mod from 2002.
Oh, he did, but it got rolled back.
@Yuki Oh, the original NS had it
Mostly because you need to balance the RTS aspect with the FPS aspect. A good commander should be able to turn a battle around, but losing a match because you either didn't have a commander or your commander just sucks doesn't make for a good experience.
@Powerlord Man, I miss playing that... or trying to on 56k. :(
19:58
RTSs tend to have a steeper learning curve than FPSs, another part that makes RTS/FPS hybrids tough to execute well.
