@Rapitor is that not what he looked like in the original?

Unionhawk

@badp Do you get the real game for free if you "preorder" it?

murgatroid99

16:08

@Rapitor as it should be

badp

@Unionhawk I don't think so.

Unionhawk

Or are they just counting on you loving their game

@badp Lame

0/10

Rapitor

@DwarfSlice in the original he was pretty much just "wtf is that thing" now he's more "WTF IS THAT OH GOD KILL IT WITH MULTIPLE HELLFIRES"

murgatroid99

@DwarfSlice they remade all of the cinematics for the Anniversary edition, so a lot of stuff looks different

Unionhawk

@Rapitor which is 1000% better from a design standpoint

If a game gives me nightmares, it has done its job correctly, and maybe a little too well.

Depending, of course

If I start having nightmares about Mario Party trying to kill me, then we may have a problem.

Rapitor

the new cinematics make me sad that there still hasn't been a proper Halo movie. seeing those cinematics means they can do it.

Jason Berkan

@Chippies All over my Facebook page yesterday, since that's my home town.

Chippies

@JasonBerkan That's batshit crazy

Jason Berkan

And Blue Cross travel insurance is a scam.

Chippies

16:20

not only the insurance, but the price itself

U.S should really do something about their medical costs

Frank

@Chippies Yeah, I read about that.

Chippies

I am fairly sure not many people can afford such prices

Frank

Two issues: American hospitals overcharge by ludicrous degrees, just to see if they can get away with it, and insurance companies latch onto any excuse to not have to pay out what they said they would.

DwarfSlice

@Chippies This is fuct

Unionhawk

When you guys are done with your canadian healthcare circlejerk let me know. I'll be over here until you're done.

(and maybe suspended, we'll see where the flags lie)

Rapitor

16:24

@Unionhawk i think the circlejerk is more on US healthcare

fredley

@Chippies US Healthcare system worst healthcare system

Rapitor

as canadian is actually good

Jason Berkan

@Unionhawk This has nothing to do with Canadian health care.

Chippies

@Unionhawk I am quite sure only in the U.S your medical bills could go up to a million dollars

fredley

For a birth

Unionhawk

16:25

@Rapitor No, the point of a circlejerk is it's a bunch of people agreeing that something is good. The implied message here is "man, I'm glad I'm in Canada where this shit isn't a thing"

Chippies

unless you're treating some terminal illness, and even then, a million dollars is quite the money to pay

@Unionhawk don't see anyone actually mentioning Canada yet

(except you)

Unionhawk

ffs

Chippies

I have never heard stories like that about any other country, it's always the U.S.

Unionhawk

YOU'RE A CANADIAN DAMMIT READ BETWEEN THE LINES.

Chippies

@Unionhawk I have lived in Canada for roughly 2 years, I am officially a visitor and my visitor visa expires in march. I am hardly Canadian.

Jason Berkan

16:27

@Chippies Actually, same story, just Australians in Canada.

fredley

The idea that giving birth, however many complications there were, can cost $1m is insane.

Chippies

@JasonBerkan that's also fuckt. cc: @Unionhawk

Unionhawk

Intensive care is expensive, add "neonatal" to that and yeeeeeah...

I'm not saying it should be, I'm saying it is.

DwarfSlice

A million dollars to have a baby?

wtf I'm never having kids

Tim Stone

Yeah, the actual giving birth part the US government covered, apparently.

fredley

16:28

It's fine, just make sure you have it in a country with a decent healthcare system

Jason Berkan

@DwarfSlice To have a premature baby that required an extensive hospital stay.

DwarfSlice

the hell they should pay you for that

Chippies

@DwarfSlice they actually do pay you for having a baby, in many countries

Unionhawk

@DwarfSlice There are so many problems with that no

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk Well tax credits are a sort of form of payment, I guess

Unionhawk

16:30

@TimStone I guess

Jason Berkan

@Chippies Like here!

Chippies

@JasonBerkan I'm assuming it differs from state to state?

Unionhawk

That's true. I guess I don't see an impact yet because thus far I have paid no tax (except medicare and social security)

@Chippies Federal, I think

fredley

The point is, in most developed countries, the cost of expensive, rare procedures is amortized over the whole population, so that the individual burden is close to nil.

Chippies

@JasonBerkan wait, you're Canadian!

Tim Stone

16:31

@Unionhawk I get K1'ed, it is the worst.

Unionhawk

@TimStone I have no idea what that means

Jason Berkan

@Chippies Child Tax Benefit - monthly payments for every young child you are responsible for.

Unionhawk

All I know is I file my 1040EZ and say "I made basically no money. You guys have $300 of my money. I would like it back please."

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk It means that not only do I pay taxes, but I am responsible for all my tax obligations...so I get all my salary, and have to remember to pay estimated taxes quarterly to the tune of lots of money.

Unionhawk

That's terrible.

Why would that be a thing

Tim Stone

16:32

BECAUSE REASONS

Unionhawk

Who would ever do that to someone

What kind of evil person

Powerlord

@TimStone Self-employed?

Tim Stone

It's expected for 1099 contractors where you're "self-employed", but because I'm a "partner" in the company I suddenly have to pay my taxes differently than a normal employee.

Unionhawk

wtf

Chippies

My hobby: making people of the bridge wonder if I got flagged down and banned

murgatroid99

@TimStone I had to deal with that for an internship because it was easier for them to pay me as a contractor.

SaintWacko

whoa

Tim Stone

Yeah, it was the same way with me when I was working part time in college.

SaintWacko

I just got the item for Azazel that makes his laser have infinite range

murgatroid99

@SaintWacko brimstone?

SaintWacko

16:37

@murgatroid99 Blood Laser Barrage

Tim Stone

Although the Department of Revenue for PA decided after the fact that I should have been an employee and therefore we owed back contributions to unemployment.

Which is even more ridiculous considering that I'm a Delaware resident, so if I had been laid off and collected unemployment it surely wasn't coming out of PA's pocket.

murgatroid99

@SaintWacko that's brimstone

SaintWacko

@murgatroid99 Oh, okay

I couldn't remember what it was called

I need to be careful, though, because I had to spend hearts on it

murgatroid99

basically, azazel's attack is a short range brimstone, and I think the only item that can extend it to full length is the actual brimstone item.

badp

actually I think Azazel's range CAN be extended ever so slightly?

Sterno

16:44

I still don't understand how children can sue their parents to pay for their college.

Especially 21 year old "children"

badp

I'm pretty sure Number One can make it shorter

SaintWacko

@badp So incredibly slightly that I hardly even notice it

badp

It might be placebo effect

but hey!

murgatroid99

@badp It does when you're not talking about medicine

badp

Number One certainly does shorten it

SaintWacko

16:46

@badp But does that affect your range stat, or does it just shorten the range on its own?

badp

@SaintWacko range stat

murgatroid99

@SaintWacko number one minimizes your range stat

badp

I dunno, science it!

murgatroid99

I'm pretty sure that every item that affects stat things (damage, tear rate, etc) affects the stats themselves

SaintWacko

Does a Lump of Coal work with Azazel?

badp

16:48

doubtful

I don't think it affects brimstone, anyway

murgatroid99

@SaintWacko I don't think it does anything with brimstone at all

SaintWacko

@murgatroid99 It didn't seem to

murgatroid99

Like many items, though, it's not really worth not picking up

SaintWacko

@murgatroid99 Right

It makes the beam look dark, at least

@badp he has full brimstone with azazel. I definitely wouldn't risk rerolling

badp

@murgatroid99 ehhh

Sterno

Was I right?

badp

you still get to keep SOME brimstone, and flight

murgatroid99

Oh yeah, yesterday I got Dark Boy

I never even got that in the original game after a couple hundred hours of play

Powerlord

16:55

@Sterno No.

Sterno

@Powerlord I was so sure!

Powerlord

Anyway, the actual answer was because I was using an SSL key to log in, but sudo requires the actual account password to run commands.

Final Fantasy All the Bravest

Final Fantasy All the Bravest (Japanese: ファイナルファンタジーオールザブレイベスト, Hepburn: Fainaru Fantajī ōru za bureibesuto) is a video game in the Final Fantasy series developed by BitGroove and published by Square Enix released for iOS devices. The game features gameplay, characters, locations and art assets from many different Final Fantasy games. The game has been met with near universal disapproval, citing a lack of gameplay depth, character customization, no story, and very expensive in app purchases for basic gameplay functionality. Positives mentioned were the humorous flavor text and nostalgia for...
