@Frank It was one of those games I wanted to like, but couldn't quite get into.

Powerlord

Oh, and in case you're curious, they were a Lookout... Town Random role.

Frank

@AshleyNunn Yeah, it sounds like a good idea.

But with all the stuff I have going on, I just couldn't make it work.

Powerlord

@John ...but yes, people are still playing this. I find it fun.

Fluttershy

Axiom Verge todayyyyyyy!

Powerlord

It's more fun in Ranked mode (even though ELO ranks haven't actually been added yet)

MadMAxJr

4:00 PM

@Fluttershy That's the... Super Metroid-y one right?

Frank

So now, I murder stuff in Gundam Breaker and Monster Hunter, and soon, farm ALL the things.

John

@Powerlord It's ranked? haha

user15026

@Fluttershy Today is just a good day. Seriously. Seems like a lot of us have good stuff we are looking forward to, either gaming or otherwise :D

Fluttershy

@MadMAxJr Yeah! There's a good review at sirtaptap.com if you're interested.

Powerlord

Ranked mode has 1 Jailor, 1 Town Killing, 2 Town Protective, 2 Town Investigative, 2 Town Support, Godfather, 1 Mafia Support, 1 Random Mafia, 1 Neutral Killing, 1 Neutral Evil, 1 Neutral Benign, and 1 Any.

Fluttershy

4:02 PM

Oh, forgot the http. Oops.

Powerlord

Which makes it more difficult than Classic.

MadMAxJr

@Fluttershy What platforms?

user15026

@Fluttershy fixed it :D

Fluttershy

@MadMAxJr Currently PS4 only, but there's a PC version inbound, I think.

@AshleyNunn Thanks! :D You're the bestest!

Powerlord

So, the only two roles you know are present are Godfather and Jailor.

user15026

4:03 PM

@Fluttershy I know ;)

Powerlord

Most of those role types have 3 types, too, so for say Town Support, you don't know what mix of Medium, Spy, or Mayor it will be.

@Wipqozn Non-extreme example: @Wipqozn is the worst.

SaintWacko

Yeah, that's true

Mad Scientist

There is a "flag for moderator attention" in chat as well, which can be used for everything that needs intervention but isn't spam/offensive

Wipqozn

@MadScientist Yeah, those flags would be a better fit.

Unionhawk

Yes

Mad Scientist

4:16 PM

There is one SE dev in the chat room now, so there is certainly enough attention on the whole thing now

Unionhawk

Yup

John

@Rapitor They actually turned it off for a while

Frank

Wipqozn

The restart feature seems to be buggy, anyways. I managed to restart Lifehacks by just casting one restart vote, when someone else voted for continue. Which doesn't make any sense.

@Sterno yeah the prestige is real weak

user15026

@Chippies an attempt at a stack related incremental thing that encourages co-operation

Rapitor

i think it was last year we had an actual incremental game

that affected the main site with font colors and stuff

user15026

wherein some people are working to sabotage other sites.

Rapitor

I really liked that

Frank

Speaking of, a new incremental is needed; that time clicker one was a poor man's Clicker Heroes.

Chippies

@AshleyNunn hm, that could be interesting, but

Wipqozn

@Rapitor I do feel pretty bad about that. I also laughed, but I also do feel bad! I wouldn't have cast that restart vote if I realized a tie didn't go to continue

Chippies

@AshleyNunn how does that work? what does it mean?

Matt Giltaji

@Frank pillars is the new incremental, just look at how much @LessPop_MoreFizz has reset

Chippies

is that something people do, or is that actually part of the game?

user15026

4:29 PM

@Chippies you can restart sites, so some SE sites have been playing on other site's games to screw up their progress

Frank

@MattGiltaji That's not an incremental.

MadMAxJr

@AshleyNunn co-operation on this scale never works. See: Twitch Plays Pokemon

Frank

@John And yet, they managed to catch all 151 pokemon.

murgatroid99

@John Twitch Plays Pokemon has beaten like 8 games

user15026

I think the key in that case is waiting for the initial troll pile to get bored

murgatroid99

4:40 PM

Or counteracting the bad votes with good votes

MadMAxJr

Wasn't the hardest parts of that, the parts where you had to do nothing for a few seconds?

user15026

@murgatroid99 That too

user15026

Basically having the force for good outweigh and persevere beyond the force for evil :P

Rapitor

@MadMAxJr hardest parts were manipulating the PC

Jason Berkan

The hardest part was spending three days arguing whether we should allow the one TPP question we received.

@MattGiltaji Yes, PCCG is still continuously raiding whatever site comes to mind.

In geometry, a hypercube is an n-dimensional analogue of a square (n = 2) and a cube (n = 3). It is a closed, compact, convex figure whose 1-skeleton consists of groups of opposite parallel line segments aligned in each of the space's dimensions, perpendicular to each other and of the same length. A unit hypercube's longest diagonal in n-dimensions is equal to . An n-dimensional hypercube is also called an n-cube or an n-dimensional cube. The term "measure polytope" is also used, notably in the work of H. S. M. Coxeter (originally from Elte, 1912), but it has now been superseded. The hypercube...

@JasonBerkan It's the squads of 20 of these that will break you.

Jason Berkan

@MadMAxJr I know. I have 40 assembled. Only 10 painted.

Frank

@JasonBerkan Oh, do those come in pieces?

MadMAxJr

Yeah. Sprues.

Jason Berkan

@Frank Yes. Separate legs, bodies, heads and each arm.

Frank

Same as Gunpla, then.

Which makes it slightly easier for painting.

There's just enough variation so they don't look identical to the guy next to them.

Frank

I paint pre-assembly.

MadMAxJr

On the bigger gundam kits, you have to, especially if there's sliding plates.

Frank

@MadMAxJr I do it because it looks much better after building it.

Any angle you look at it, it's painted, not just the parts that are visible.

Jason Berkan

I don't think I could easily paint them unassembled. Nothing to easily grab onto.

Frank

@JasonBerkan Oh, right, you hand paint. For airbrushing, you don't want to be holding it.

I will never forget the first time seeing Orks on the table. It was a game of 2nd edition. A custom scenario between two players. The orks had a goal. Get 60 orks on 'da button' which was connected to a massive piece of cardboard tube and glued on sprue leftover glory. The Orks were going to shoot down the moon. The space marines were there to stop that.

airbrushing in 40k is something you generally do with vehicles, not troopers.

I did some simple two color patterns on my eldar falcon tanks.

Matt Giltaji

i'm lazy, i leave all of my dnd minis unpainted

Jason Berkan

Good grief. I painted those 10 Orks 4 years ago. Haven't painted an Ork since.
