You're so nice about adding me.

@Arperum WHY ARE YOUR GOATS IN BOXES?

New Soma trailer

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Maybe boxes attract goats like they attract cats.

> HAHA NO XBOX LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Oh youtube, stay classy

Origami Robot

@BenBrocka IS THIS THAT GAME WHERE YOU'RE IN A RESEARCH FACILITY?

AND YOU HAVE SOME TOOL THAT YOU CAN UPGRADE WITH DISKS OR SOMMAT

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot yes the SCP-ish game from Frictional Games

@Wipqozn comments on trailers are particularly bad

Origami Robot

14:07

I DON'T KNOW WHAT SCP MEANS

Ben Brocka

Spooky things. Where did you hear about a tool you can upgrade? I hadn't heard anything about actual in-game interaction yet

Origami Robot

@BenBrocka MUST NOT BE THE GAME I'M THINKING OF THEN

Ben Brocka

Might be thinking of Alien: Isolation which has some weird tool thingies

Q: Do monsters respawn when I die in Dark Souls 2?

I really liked Dark Souls but after a while I was so frustrated because every monster respawned after I died. This was the only reason I stopped playing that game. I'm planning to buy Dark Souls 2 if they fixed this annoying game mechanic. Do they respawn in Dark Souls 2 when I die?

dark-souls-2

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot I'm assuming the picture of baby goats?

These were in boxes because they had to be inside to dry up (removed from the mother at birth) and having them run around/pee on the floor is not good for the floor.

SaintWacko

14:21

@BenBrocka I've been reading through the SCP wiki the past few days

Ben Brocka

Ah yes the Super Cute Pet wiki

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka Yes :D

I'm on SCP-329 right now

Origami Robot

@Arperum WHY DO THEY STAY IN THE BOXES?

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot cause they're goats and they're dumb

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot Because they are newborn and by the time they start getting out of the boxes they go back to a part of the stable.

Q: Percentage chance for successful techcopy?

In Blitzball, if you have a skill you can learn, and try to techcopy... why does it keep failing? I am trying to learn Anti-venom 2. My player is double the level of the opponent, but keeps failing on the tech-copy. Any specifics into the percentage?

final-fantasy-10

Origami Robot

@Arperum I'D JUST THINK IF THEY'RE STANDING, THEY'D WANNA MOVE AROUND AND NOT STAND IN ONE PLACE.

SaintWacko

Is Soma going to be PC?

Ben Brocka

@SaintWacko Yeah, PC and PS4

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka Good, it looks interesting

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot They are barely at the point of standing, they are less then an hour old on that picture. I think. Old picture and such.

Ben Brocka

14:27

I'll wait for reviews but if it's not $60 I'll probably get it. I wasn't a big fan of Amnesia but there was potential, this game looks like it will have better atmosphere

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka Also, SCP Foundation is awesome

Arperum

Also, they first have to be able to jump/climb over the box.

Ben Brocka

I felt like I was lost in a generic Oblivion dungeon in Amnesia with awful, awful hiding mechanics

Origami Robot

I GOT SO BORED IN AMNESIA

Ben Brocka

Same, and I got stuck n a couple "puzzles" that were just "find the one item on the floor" and quit.

Not being able to fight back is only okay if hiding/running away works properly. Running was basically impossible and hiding was extremely hit or miss

I think the prison is about where I gave up

Origami Robot

14:31

I NEVER EVEN GOT TO THE RUNNING OR HIDING PARTS

Ben Brocka

It's okay for a bit after things start chasing you, but there are some very frustrating parts where hiding doesn't work right and they just beeline right to you and there's nothing you can do

Then if you die too many times the monsters despawn so the optimal solution is to just die which basically killed it for me

Origami Robot

THAT'S REALLY LAME

I ONLY GOT TO THE POINT OF "OH NO THAT DOOR CLOSED! WAIT, WHAT AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE SCARED OF HERE?"

"OH LOOK MY SCREEN IS ALL WONKY, I GUESS THERE WAS SOMETHING SCARY HERE, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS."

Ben Brocka

Yeah the "sanity" meter seemed interesting at first but it turns out it actually does nothing but make your screen wonky (usually for lame reasons like being in the dark) so I just ignored it

I think sanity meters are a mildly interesting idea but I despise mechanics that punish you for looking at the cool stuff. I WANT to look at scary shit it's a horror game

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka the sanity meter in Don't Starve is very well done

Origami Robot

@SaintWacko YEA BUT I WOULDN'T CALL THAT A HORROR GAME IN THE SAME SENSE

SaintWacko

14:37

@OrigamiRobot No, although it can be pretty creepy when your sanity is low

Origami Robot

PERSONALLY, I THINK THE ORIGINAL FEAR GAME WAS A GREAT HORROR GAME

Ben Brocka

Really? I thought it was neat but mostly for the AI and some graphical tricks like the "3D decals" for bullet holes

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot I didn't like the original FEAR. The combat was meh. The horror elements made me feel safe if anything because nothing the little girl ever did could kill you until the end (which I felt was badly designed, because I had no idea what to do then).

@KevinvanderVelden I realised I hadn't installed it into my Bridge stylesheet.

That error has been amended

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria LATER IN THE GAME WHERE ALMA COULD KILL YOU, I ACTUALLY LIKED THE GAME LESS.

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn Lifehack: Hide in a box for 8 hours in the middle of the day so people think you have a job!

I LIKED IT BETTER WHEN SHE WAS JUST ON THE FRINGES

Origami Robot

AND TO ME, THE COMBAT WAS JUST A WAY TO BREAK UP THE HORROR BITS

Krazer

@BenBrocka does this box get internet?

@BenBrocka Stop giving away my secrets!

@Frank While it is just a link, it seems to be a link to something that's actually useful

Is it really spam?

Frank

@SaintWacko A website specifically meant to look at enrage timers?

I haven't followed the link, but that seems...pretty darn narrow.

SaintWacko

@Frank I have. That's exactly what the site is

For those who don't want to follow the link, there's what it looks like

That's the whole site

SaintWacko

@Frank Why?

Frank

14:52

@SaintWacko Self-promotional without disclosure.

SaintWacko

@Frank How do you know it's self-promotional?

Frank

@SaintWacko Did YOU hear of this site before?

Even if you don't believe it's spam, it still fits NaA pretty darn well.

I personally believe he's promoting his own site, but I could be wrong about that.

Krazer

@Wipqozn Martyrs can be come Exalted

SaintWacko

@Frank No, but there are a lot of websites I haven't heard of

I just think we should assume it's a legitimate answer until proved otherwise

Instead of the other way around

Frank

@SaintWacko Unregistered user, only post is a link elsewhere, to a site just created less than a week ago?

SaintWacko

14:56

While I do agree that it's not a complete answer, and might fit NaA, I feel like it's a partial answer to the question

Arperum

@SaintWacko NaA in any case, it doesn't answer "who enrages and what do they do when enraged".

Frank

They get the benefit of a doubt when they've contributed more than a single random drive-by link.

Whois says: Creation Date: 2014-03-29

SaintWacko

@Frank Hm, hadn't realized that. Alright, you may be right about the self-promotion. I noticed that the contact email on the site is "skirwen", possibly sam kirwen

Hadn't done a whois on the site

Krazer

@SaintWacko Link only answers are bad.

Frank

@SaintWacko I applaud your ability to see the best in people. It keeps me honest.

SaintWacko

14:59

I'm not necessarily agreeing that it's a bad answer. It perhaps would be better suited as a comment. I was disagreeing that it was spam, although on further evidence, it seems a bit more likely. I'm not going to flag it, I'll leave it for others to decide

Frank

@SaintWacko Already deleted.

SaintWacko

@Frank Alright

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria ALSO ALSO, HOW CAN YOU FIND THE COMBAT IN ANY GAME WHERE YOU CAN PIN PEOPLE TO WALLS BORING?

Frank

How did I get almost 100 rep from doing nothing more than posting a picture with a freehand circle?

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot This was one of my favorite things in Fallout 3. The Railway Rifle

@Frank Because freehand circle

Frank

15:02

@SaintWacko I loved the "choo-choo!" sound it made after you fired.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot pinning AI people to walls was fun, pinning real people to walls in multiplayer was even more fun :D

SaintWacko

@Frank I once headshotted a super mutant with it, and a bit later was looking around for what it had dropped, and found the head pinned to a monument about 20 feet away

@PanicBomb With a prescription. They have doctors on staff.

@Wipqozn Is the game that easy, or are you playing on wimpy mode?

Note that I left no room for you to be a genius tactician.

Wipqozn

16:37

@Sterno I was on wimpy mode. I started off on the easiest difficulty when I was learning the mechanics and getting used to the game.

Bumped the difficulty up abit for my dwarf game.

Krazer

@Sterno he's no tactician, he's a strategian (I don't mean strategist)!

Sterno

Why? I don't know.

I hope you're happy

fredley

What is the difference between D3 and WoW?

Serious question

kalina

WoW has more progression

fredley

@kalina D3 is pure grind?

kalina

pretty much yeah

FEichinger

16:45

@kalina "poor you", I guess.

Krazer

@fredley They're fundamentally the same game. The material differences are that WoW sets you back an extra ~$15-per-month, but is much larger in scope, uses a fantasy theme, and you kill one thing at a time. Diablo 3 is about 1/5th the scope of WoW, uses a gothic theme, and the more action-oriented "loot explosion" model.

kalina

although now it's more like walking between rooms laying waste to everything

fredley

@Krazer I see

Sterno

@fredley Pacing.

WOW has a lot more running around doing NOTHING AT ALL

fredley

I played D3 because SE bought it for me

but I didn't get it

Every fight was the same, you just click. And you just walked (by clicking) around getting attacked by monster for no real reason it seemed

With a thin veneer of quest over the top

Panic Bomb

16:48

When you turn the difficulty up you need to actually use your abilities and plan your gearing strategy out, you can't just mindlessly click

fredley

@PanicBomb I see

So it's not just about grinding dps?

Panic Bomb

It can be about whatever you want it to be about, really

SaintWacko

@fredley Nope. If you don't know how to use your skills and synergize properly, all the dps in Sanctuary isn't going to help you

kalina

I disagree

I'm sure that any problem can be fixed with more DPS

2

fredley

@PanicBomb Like Minecraft?

SaintWacko

16:50

@fredley Yes. D3 is exactly like Minecraft

6

Panic Bomb

@fredley What I mean is that there's enough options for gameplay difficulty/style/modes in the game that you can make it as mindless or tactical as you want

fredley

@PanicBomb Right

I don't get why people would play the same game over and over again [plays only Minecraft]

Panic Bomb

Mastery of something challenging is a good feeling!

Krazer

@fredley the randomness in the items drop stats is a bit like gambling you see which makes for a more addcitive expereince
