Martin Sojka

Whoa. Those AI guys might as well have a bucket on their heads.

Kevin van der Velden

Aah corner cases, the best part about game ai programming <3

5pike

@MartinSojka A blindfold is more likely.

Origami Robot

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot naah, just use a navmesh for navigation, no problem

Origami Robot

13:17

JEEZ GUYS

user15026

@OrigamiRobot I like the name.

Grace Note

I can dig that card

Kevin van der Velden

"BEHOLD MY ENGINE OF DOOM!".... Audience: Why is it scuttling about like a cute lid'l crab?

And thus, the most awesome of awesome names was born

Origami Robot

THIS ONE IS BUGGY TOO

Grace Note

That one seems a bit potent of sorts. Not really buggy to me though.

Kevin van der Velden

13:20

What's a permanent again? Just regular summons unless stated otherwise right?

badp

I'm in sector 6, have plenty of scrap and kind of nothing to use it on. What should I get?

Origami Robot

@KevinvanderVelden ANYTHING THAT STAYS ON THE BATTLEFIELD

LANDS, CREATURES, ENCHANTMENTS, ARTIFACTS, PLANESWALKERS

5pike

@badp Sector 6 with that weapons? Good luck...

Kevin van der Velden

Nice, so you get as many high attack/low defense things and then make them permanent? Cheat

badp

@5pike Yeah... but I unlocked a couple of things with this run so it's okay.

agent86

13:21

@badp yeah, you gonna get obliterated. you need some more systems and/or weapons.

badp

So what should I get?

agent86

another burst fire something

badp

I'm also one jump away from a store.

agent86

possibly a mine

I'd suggest teleporter and more crew if you can swing it

5pike

@badp That's nice. I hazard a guess and say that you won't be able to beat the final boss. Seeing as you have not upgraded thrusters, I suggest you do so, for evasion. To prolong the run.

badp

13:22

They have fire and heal beams

agent86

you could also go cloak/dodge if you find a cloak

beams are kinda meh, and you won't get through shields without more burst fire weapons, and with shields up you won't hit with beams

badp

I'm short on credits for cloak (150)

Origami Robot

THIS ONE IS PRETTY

agent86

have you been jumping to every node possible before moving on? you're way underpowered and underscrapped for where you are.

badp

I invested in more crew members than I usually would because one of the objectives mentioned having 6 crew members at once

@agent86 Not really.

Matt Эллен

13:23

@OrigamiRobot ooo. looks like a new style!

agent86

@badp you need to, or else you'll be where you're at

Origami Robot

@MattЭллен IT'S A PROMO

Matt Эллен

Ah!

agent86

make a N or Z shape with your jumps, try to get every jump possible before the rebels overtake you. the rebels overtaking you is super bad, though, so avoid at all costs.

GnomeSlice

The upside to these stupid simulator greenlights is they are paying $100 a pop to charity for the greenlight submission.

The downside is they are polluting the list and taking spots in top 100 that real games could be taking.

Q: Can't view played game list from my dota profile

When viewing my profile (or other's profiles) there's usually a button/link just above the commendations section that takes you to a list of all your games. I know longer have that button!? Is that from a recent update? Or could I have inadvertently changed some setting to cause that? I also not...

Q: Why Is My Opponent So Stupid?

What's that? You think I was cheating? Well.. Umm... Okay maybe I cheated but that cheating leaded to some interesting glitches that make no sense to me on multiplayer! I was trying to play multiplayer Mario Kart with my sister for our DS's on a long trip and little did she know I had cheats...

mario-kart-ds

badp

The variance on enemy encounters is very high and it's very possible that I'm just going to roll shitty luck on any one encounter and get asploded early on

agent86

you're doing good on shields, though. it's an important thing to upgrade.

badp

The only reason I got this far in my book is that I haven't had to do too many of them

(also not losing crew members)

agent86

@badp yeah, but if you fight early encounters, you'll be powerful enough for later encounters. if you don't fight the early encounters, you'll be weak later.

badp

So I guess I'm already doomed and will buy whatever sounds cool.

agent86

13:26

getting crewmembers killed is a bad thing, yeah. that's why you have a medbay. pause and shift them around if things are getting complex.

@badp pretty much yes.

you have no chance to survive; make your time.

5pike

@badp You need weapons to penetrate 4 shield levels. At least.

GnomeSlice

@badp hooray for FTL!

agent86

yeah. like 5 shots worth of beam and ion weapons are a must by the later stages.

badp

The thing I don't like about FTL is that every encounter is random, but not predictably so like in a roguelike.

agent86

you can burn missiles and bombs on the boss if you want, having teleporter makes things significantly easier.

@badp ehhh, the sector number could be considered the "depth" a la angband or similar. as you go "deeper" the enounters become harder.

GnomeSlice

13:27

I made it to the boss once.

badp

@agent86 Yeah but there are a ton of out of depth encounters

agent86

you're not going to find a level 4 shielded slaver in sector one, for instance.

GnomeSlice

And then it was way harder than anything else.

agent86

@badp I disagree with you there.

GnomeSlice

@badp That's not what I found.

badp

13:28

@agent86 They're enough out of depth that you can go from full health to dead in one jump is what I've experienced

agent86

the ships you come up against are scaled to the sector you're in. you're always going to have like a max of one fight.

Ben Brocka

I guess Warframe isn't doomed. Yet

agent86

@badp you're probably doing it wrong then.

GnomeSlice

Is warframe good?

Origami Robot

GnomeSlice

13:29

I've still not played it.

Origami Robot

THIS IS A REAL CARD

Matt Эллен

lol

badp

@agent86 Start with 3 people; 1 dies; 2 intruders jump in

run over

agent86

@badp don't let them die. fight in your medbay.

5pike

@badp How long have you been playing?

agent86

13:30

send people to the medbay when they're hurt.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot NEW UN SET CONFIRMED. 3RD UN SET. HL3 CONFIRMED

GnomeSlice

@badp Invest in locked doors and just vent air out when invaders jump in.

agent86

pause if shit's getting real

badp

@5pike This is about my fifth game?

:P

5pike

@badp So, you are still a newb. Well, don't get discouraged.

Fighting of boarders is easy.

agent86

13:30

venting air is another good one, you can leave some of the rooms nobody goes into vented constantly, it stops fire and intruders.

badp

@5pike I laughed when you considered my boss battle worthiness.

agent86

anyhow, gl, hf, try not to crash it :P

badp

@agent86 They somehow boarded between weapons and oxygen

5pike

@badp Because I lacked the info of you beeing a newb.

agent86

@badp it's like in TF2 if you encounter two guys and you have two guys and a medic. if you're decent with the medic, you should win every time.

Origami Robot

13:32

agent86

cycle guys through the room with boarders. you can also move your guys out of the way and vent

Origami Robot

WAIT, WHAT

NO

5pike

@badp Anyways - if you want to fight off boarders, upgrade the doors and put a guy into the door section. You get lvl3 doors. Boarders have to break them open before they can move on. So, when a boarding party arrives just went oxygen out of the rooms and let them suffocate.

agent86

like move your weapons officer through the room quickly, then vent weapons and their room to space.

badp

@5pike I have had the resources to upgrade doors in this run.

Braiam

13:33

@OrigamiRobot YES

badp

I have enough personnel to sit a person in the doors room, too.

GnomeSlice

does anybody know how to get to youtube account settings now

Youtube's changed again

5pike

@badp Even if you don't, putting a guy into the door room pays off, when you get boarded.

badp

Sector 7!

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka ^

Powerlord

13:36

Good mourning bridge!

badp

wat

Why does it let me equip the system if I can't use it

user15026

@Powerlord What are we mourning

5pike

@badp Probably so you can make room in your storage.

Powerlord

@AshleyNunn I was wondering if anyone would catch that.

I figured someone would respond with "mourning is never good" or something though

Anyway, we're mourning Airtight Studios, who a month after releasing Murdered: Soul Suspect is now closed.

Origami Robot

EVERYONE LOVES SLIVERS

Braiam

13:39

@GnomeSlice click the mini-GnomeSlice in the top right, click the gear, ....?, profit

Powerlord

@OrigamiRobot Hey, the museum in that game was great. Wait, you said slivers not shivers.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Indestructible also means they can't die from combat, right?

Origami Robot

@GnomeSlice YES, DAMAGE AND DESTROY EFFECTS DON'T KILL IT

GnomeSlice

OP

Braiam

@OrigamiRobot why do i think that cards are japanese...

GnomeSlice

13:41

So basically if you play that card you win the game

Origami Robot

@GnomeSlice YOU CAN STILL EXILE IT

badp

wat

GnomeSlice

Good point.

Origami Robot

OR BLOCK IT ALL DAY

GnomeSlice

Actually my friend who I play Magic with has a deck with a ton of exile spells

badp

13:42

Matt Эллен

@OrigamiRobot that would go well with the chromanticor

Frank

@OrigamiRobot Except the people playing against them.

badp

is it because it's cloaked or something that I can't target it?

5pike

@badp Is what because cloak?

Trent Hawkins

or just bounce the lord back to hand when he thinks it's safe to attack.

badp

13:42

The target view doesn't show rooms etc.

5pike

@badp Yes, cloaking disrupts targeting.

badp

Well boarding drone is a go

oh there we go

Braiam

meh, got a thing for playing mario world...

GnomeSlice

Speaking of FTL

weneedtogodeeper.webs.com

hmm

badp

Fuck you I made it to sector 8

:P

GnomeSlice

13:45

@badp Nice!

Private Pansy

Taking bets on how long it'll take for the flagship to blow that dinky little ship of yours to pieces

5pike

@badp Haven fun with the boss.

badp

@PrivatePansy I don't think it can stand 30 seconds

First I need to understand how this sector works though

Trent Hawkins

@PrivatePansy he might make it to round 2, but no further.

5pike

@TrentHawkins With 2 scrap and those weapons? I don't think so.

GnomeSlice

13:47

How many phases does the boss have?

5pike

@GnomeSlice 3

badp

Basically I have a turn limit of jumps from boss to base + 2?

Private Pansy

@TrentHawkins Not even that, with only Artemis and Boarding drone able to damage anything he's not going to make it past the first stage

GnomeSlice

I made it to 2 or 3

Private Pansy

@badp You're not jumping as many beacons as possible before exiting a sector, are you?

Trent Hawkins

13:49

@PrivatePansy With a little cunning an a lot of luck it might be possible. But round 2 would shut down even that faint hope.

badp

@PrivatePansy No. At this point I'm just going depth first

Private Pansy

@TrentHawkins That single Defense Mk. 2 would completely nullify both of those weapons, yeah

badp

I have nothing to lose so I'm just exploring the later stages of the game

5pike

@TrentHawkins He would need to be the luckiest guy on the planet. 12% evasion is nothing to write home about.

badp

Those weapons have been worthless since sector 7 as you have said

I've just been jumping away from encounters

Ben Brocka

13:50

@GnomeSlice click your icon in the top right, as always. Creator Studio has links to everything, or the gear takes you straight to settings

Private Pansy

@badp Actually, those are some of the best weapons in the game, in terms of energy to damage ratio

badp

Let's check out our base!

Private Pansy

@badp There's nothing there

badp

Checking out our base was a huge disappointment!

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka is 'disable activity sharing' for twitter what I want?

5pike

13:51

@PrivatePansy Flac canon is the best weapon, IMO

badp

To the store we go!

Private Pansy

You just need more than that to make a dent on the flagship's shield

badp

They have jack shit!

I'll buy missiles then

Private Pansy

@badp Yeah, makes me wonder what the hell I was suppose to be protecting the flagship from in the first place

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice just uncheck the like/playlist activities at the bottom, unless you don't want anytwitter sharing

I leave it enabled for videos so I can share to twitter, and because it's the only message you can customize

badp

13:53

Okay, now I just jump to the base and wait.

GnomeSlice

oh I see them now

Private Pansy

The two starting weapons on The Kestrel are usable even to the end because of their incredible energy efficiency and cooldown timer. Of course you'd want to back them up with something heavier to actually take down shield, but they're good as secondary weapons

GnomeSlice

kickstarter.com/projects/29211325/sheltered?ref=48hr

Huh, Team17 is publishing Sheltered?

Ben Brocka

they're publishing a few games now

I didn't realize they were a publisher at all

badp

I made it to 30 seconds!

Private Pansy

13:56

By pausing the game for 30 seconds? :P

badp

Nah

Private Pansy

How many rounds of missiles did you make it through?

badp

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka Me neither

badp

Enough to disrupt their shields it seems? Time to punch another hole in their hull

hah! The drone made it to the shields

I DAMAGED IT BY 2 POINTS

oh bollocks the 6 crew members achievement was 6 members of different species

Ben Brocka

13:58

yeah that one's pretty BS

badp

ONE MORE POINT

Private Pansy

The Kestrel has some of the harder achievements of all ships

GnomeSlice

I only ever got two ships unlocked

badp

and then we ran out of oxygen

GnomeSlice

The Kestrel and the Engie one
