StrixVaria

@fredley Same type of game (from what I can tell of Pillars).

Unforgiving isometric turn-based RPG.

fredley

@StrixVaria Pillars is Baldurs Gate++. That's all you need to know

StrixVaria

@fredley Pass.

MadMAxJr

@Rapitor "Steam" "Oh man, do you think the new CoD will get down to 50%?" "Could you unlock my card please?"

Jason Berkan

@Sterno - Find out the Steam ID of the CSR you talk to at the bank and make certain to gift them a copy of Bad Rats.

Wipqozn

20:12

@StrixVaria @Krazer gifted tha to me and I still haven't played it. I'm a monster.

StrixVaria

That's also what Divinity tried to be.

MadMAxJr

I like that Divinity: OS has turn based battles.

I don't like everything else.

Frank

Speaking of gifting, I still have a copy of Rebirth to give away.

I'm unlikely to ever play it.

Jason Berkan

Are the battles in PoE turn based?

StrixVaria

@MadMAxJr I liked some of the battle mechanics, but I hated the way learning spells worked and I hated the encounter design.

MadMAxJr

20:13

I should go through my humble bundle spare keys and just dump them in here.

Chippies

@Sterno hm, didn't realize steam only allowed one of a type game per transaction, that's lame

GnomeSlice

Is anybody else here interested in battlebrothersgame.com

I played the beta demo or something a while ago and couldn't win against anything

MadMAxJr

@StrixVaria For me, it became 'summon spider', wait for enemies to beat on spider. Shoot all enemies until dead.

GnomeSlice

But it was really well done

StrixVaria

@MadMAxJr Yeah. The actually viable strategies were a horribly small subset of the apparent ones.

Wipqozn

20:14

@Sterno I think that's more Karma.

Frank

@Chippies Unless there are special "four packs", or things like that.

Sterno

@Wipqozn Karma can kiss my ass. @FAE's purchase just went through

StrixVaria

Anyway, I'm not in the mood for a game that requires too much thinking.

MadMAxJr

Woo, Amazon knocked a whole THREE cents off my copy of bloodborne when I chose the physical copy.

Sterno

You're going to have to figure out how to get this to John since I doubt he'll willingly friend me or give me his email

Frank

20:17

@Chippies Nope. It's definitely a use case they did not account for.

StrixVaria

That game fell off the face of the planet.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Except a lot more stripped down, easier to play, and more fun.

Wipqozn

@Sterno He probably doesn't even know what Bad Rats is. His user name is: John the Green.

@Frank I've also heard that you can't buy a 4-pack if you already own the game, which is silly as well

@StrixVaria I played it back when i had a shit pc so my framerate was bad. It didn't really grab me though, is it worth checking it out again?

@StrixVaria Never. It's made in operation with the same team FROM did Demon's Souls with, which is a company owned by Sony, so it'll never see a non-PS4 release.

Looks like the idea is if you need to block, don't block, shoot your foe before he swings, then beat him for brutalizing damage

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot This is probably my main problem with it.

I guess I have a problem with games that REQUIRE a lot of time, even if that time would be satisfying to spend, because I don't have a lot of time.

Dark Souls seems to fit that description. If I just had a hundred hours to sink into it, it would be rewarding in the long run.

This year I missed my train to work twice because my car was encased in ice. The second time I had an interview that day so I had to spend 30 minutes defrosting it and take a later train (the interview was then canceled).

@JasonBerkan I can only think that those 11 cents weren't even worth the time spent.

every time the plow goes by, it packs snow at the end of the driveway and you have to try really hard to shovel it all off, which I don't (no one does), so it slowly grows into a bigger and bigger bump

that combined with the street plowed all the way down to pavement makes a pretty big bump :P

I poured some salt on it (wife's idea), but I highly doubt that's gonna help whatsoever

Jason Berkan

@Chippies Yeah. That was the complaint the city got as well. They bought a scraper that they use on residential streets now - it gets rid of the tire ruts without leaving any snow behind.

Q: Counting items in a chest

I am working on a system that allows a player to build a template building such as a house. Building one of these structures requires the player to meet a certain quota of required items. (for example 20 planks and 35 stone bricks) I've been trying different strategies to accomplish this such as...

I was going to buy a PS4 tonight but then my mom came over and made me feel like shit about how much money I spend on music

So now I guess I wont

I haven't even been saving for it

But I can probably still afford it

Dear Microsoft: Half way through watching a video is not the time to restart a computer without warning in order to update it. Especially when it looks like it'll take the better part of an hour.

Plus, this computer is fully shut down each night. What better time than then to install updates?

@Wipqozn @Sterno What am I next for?

and why do I want to friend @Sterno?

Hm, so @Sterno is giving me a game ("Bad Rats"?) that is supposed to be bad for me, or something?

Q: Multiplayer world not saving [MCPE]

I have a world where I play with my friend (i am port forwarding). When we rejoin the world, the game loads an earlier save of the game (a save from 10 minutes ago or something). I have tried PocketMine but it has a ton of bugs! Can you please help me? Thanks in advance.

I was about to see how many consecutive messages I could ping @Sterno in, then @Lazers ruined it

:(

Chippies

@John yes and yes

John

@Chippies I fail to see how a free game could be bad.

Batophobia

@John I don't think @Sterno will mind

John

22:10

Or why on earth @Sterno would spend money on that

Chippies

@John depends on how ocd you are about having no junk games in your library

bad rats is considered by many one of the worst games on steam

and it's only 99 cents

@badp what game is that from? It seems familiar

badp

@Chippies Warframe.

My system hard froze immediately after your ping, btw.

What the actual fuck.

John

@Sterno You weren't wrong. And then you were wrong.

@badp You play Warframe? What's your conclave rating?

Chippies

@badp something really bad going on with your audio devices?

badp

@Chippies I don't know. I'm not using realtek drivers right now.

@John I'm still skipping cutscenes.

Chippies

22:14

has Warframe been fixed since that major update when they changed like literally everything and broke just as much?

John

@badp As far as I can tell, there are cutscenes for quite a while

I will take that to mean you're fairly new, though

in which case, we should play together if I can ever get that finicky launcher going again

badp

I just started. for the third time

John

Third time?

Chippies

the old UI was so good, then they changed it to that stupid ship and broke everything and I tried to like it and deal with all the bugs and glitches, but ~2 weeks later I gave up

haven't played since

John

@badp Oh, thought you meant you started 3 times.

Oh, Bad Rats won't run on my OS. What a pity.

@Wipqozn Don't forget to add me on PSN! Same as on Steam, without a space.

I hate stuff

There's a special at futureshop that comes with a PS TV but it ends tomorrow

And I'm still gonna end up spending like gig. Infers bucks to get it and blood borne

I am getting angry at BCG. Yesterday, I posted two answers to a single question (I can explain why later, but I believe I was well within the rules). After some arguing, a mod deleted one of them (improperly, I think). I posted a question on meta saying that that should be undone. Now he just deleted the other one.

@murgatroid99 Did he give any reasoning?

murgatroid99

@Frank That I wasn't supposed to post two answers to a question.

@Frank None for the second deletion

Oh, now he did

Q: Some things i have just dissapear and won't come back

I got a mythical shadowbeam staff and possessed hatchet and when I went into my world they disappeared from my inventory and I looked in all my chests and they weren't there... HELP!

@Frank Basically, I read a question as being a subjective question with either "yes" or "no" as the answer. So, I decided to try posting one answer for each, with supporting arguments. I honestly didn't anticipate the shitstorm it would create.

Mod says he deleted them because I was "creating a poll" and couldn't possibly "believe in" both of them

Frank

So the question then is, "Is it worth taking this further?"

murgatroid99

22:48

@Frank For me, it's the principle of the thing. I don't think he had/has proper grounds for deleting my posts, and I really dislike the idea of a mod who will do that

Frank

@murgatroid99 Then you tell him that the question is what is judged for polls, not answers.

And answer belief is immaterial.

Pretty sure "believing in" an answer isn't a requirement for it to be a valid answer

A: Why was my answer deleted?

Thanks for posting on meta. It is the proper forum for questioning moderation. Oddly, the question you chose to post contains a quick answer within the text of your question. I'll give the better answer below. @murgatroid99 - SE is not a platform for polls. You admitted you set up a pol...

Fluttershy

@Sterno Why are you giving out Bad Rats on @Wipqozn's behalf? :o

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot Don't you know, all mods are psychics and can read users' minds to determine whether they have sufficient belief in the answers they post

Frank

> You admitted you set up a poll in a comment. You also stated that you probably covered all possible answers.

Are we missing some context?
