So there's a Splatoon eSports tournament going on in Japan.

Prize pool's $1M.

two bugs

Cool. I still haven't played Splatoon because I'm a jerk.

It sounds fun though, and I guess the free DLC is coming out soon or already out?

Rapitor

i've only played splatoon at a best buy demo station and i couldnt get through the tutorial because fuck motion controls

i still plan on getting it eventually. but this game season is already going to be busy enough with forza, halo, and fallout

Private Pansy

Wait. 23 people said that The Big Bang Theory TV series is scifi

Huh!?

FAE

@Rapitor You can change that at least

Rapitor

@FAE yeah, but i couldn't during the tutoriqal segment, and that's all i really had time to try out

@PrivatePansy it does have a science advisor on staff

FAE

15:07

@Rapitor Ah yeah, I don't think they let you there, which is dumb

two bugs

Eh, I don't mind motion controls for handheld games but I still haven't really warmed to them for console games

badp

@fae don't worry, take care.

two bugs

It's good you can change them

badp

@KevinvanderVelden are you okay with this being just the two of us? I'd understand if you'd rather not.

FAE

@badp Thanks, sorry I can't make it. :( Hopefully you'll get the job and we can meet up another time. :)

Kevin van der Velden

15:08

@badp I'm fine with it

I was just talking with @FAE about how to contact you so we could find each other =p

apparently nintendo claims most players keep the motion controls on, which i don't believe at all

Kevin van der Velden

@badp aight :) Plenty of time

Yuuki

@Rapitor I dunno, I've heard a lot of talk that the motion controls are actually really good once you get used to them.

badp

@FAE if I accept then I must, yes

FAE

@badp Awesome. Keep in touch and if you need help with stuff like moving in and/or fixing up a place (I'm good at interior painting), let me know.

Q: Legendary Dwellers in the beginning of the game

I was wondering if it is possible to get a Legendary Dweller in one of the 4 "introductory" lunch boxes in the beginning of the game. I've restarted my vault about 50 times, maybe more, and have yet to get one.

Chinese holding company Tencent reported in negotiations with Kojima

Sterno

two bugs

@Rapitor Yeah, I hadn't heard of them by name but they're significant shareholders in Activision-Blizzard, Epic, and others

Riot, too

Yuuki

Tencent does more than gaming as well.

Although they've been moving into gaming.

two bugs

15:47

So they're kind of like an anti-Konami?

Yuuki

But IIRC, their big thing was QQ, basically China's version of AOL Instant Messenger.

two bugs

Well, as long as they don't somehow acquire the MGS rights and then force Kojima to develop MGS games for the rest of time, I'm fine.

I mean, I love MGS games, but Kojima deserves a break.

Guy has been trying to get out of MGS since 2

Yuuki

He needs to go direct a movie-movie.

Rapitor

pretty much if you are doing anything in china, Tencent probably is/was involved with it

@Yuuki he and del toro are still working together on a non-game

Yuuki

Also, I'm okay with Pacific Rim moving to a G Gundam sort of thing.

I guess, but both of those feel kind of like copouts

@Yuuki I'm fine with that. Just as long as they don't go SD Gundam.

@Sterno It's okay, I mean, we all die in the first five turns. Sometimes. Maybe. I mean, if we're trying. Hard.

@Sterno Folding Fang is the best thing. I only wish I had it this run because The World Is Way Too Strong is really, really, really annoying without it.

Sterno

@GraceNote My winning score was only slightly less than that by about 1950 points!

What's the "keep fighting for a whole week" campaign mode?

Grace Note

Okay, so daily campaigns only have their existence (and by extension, the consistent layout of regions and buildings) for the day they're featured.

The weekly campaign meanwhile, has the same features for a whole week.

That's okay though. I barely squeaked by on Afternoon Stroll

Grace Note

Pfff I looked at who else cleared the dimension and there's a clear at 104km on Stroll and a 432km clear on Walk and then WHAM 1500 on Odyssey

Maybe it's because I'm on the Playism version compared to you on Steam

Yeah, RIP the fill clock

But I welcome less CPU usage from 20 Hz commanding

two bugs

I got 11/15. The early ones were easy but the later ones were less obvious

MBraedley

Yeah, I see this as generally a good thing.

Grace Note

@Sterno Just a heads up by the way - campaign clears only care about the type of campaign, not if it's necessarily the same map.

MBraedley

And I guess the directionality means it's passing strong power along that direction, which could lead to some interesting things. Of course, it might not be actually passing power.

Unionhawk

18:15

I think it's just passing command block magic signal

MBraedley

Probably, because redstone power is weird and the want to avoid that, despite making a new type of BUD

Which, I guess, may have already existed.

Mmmm, haven't had a burger in forever.

Yuuki

Ugh, olive is not a good fry oil.

It's a good dressing oil, but not a good fry oil.

Unionhawk

18:31

The Smash fries aren't done in olive oil I don't think, they're just soaked in it. Which is healthier.

Yuuki

Smoke point is too low for good frying.

Unionhawk

Right, yeah. I'm pretty sure they just take regular fries and add olive oil

Totally healthy

But it's fine because they taste delicious

two bugs

@Yuuki Eh, it's okay at Elevation. It tastes similar to other fries I've gotten, which I guess isn't a big endorsement

I used to love fries but I'm trying to cut back on them recently

Trying to be healthy and whatnot

So Whataburger does have locations outside of Texas, but it's exclusively a South/Southwest thing.

The best part of Whataburger is how much customization you can do. I could put that burger on toast instead and have it halves instead of whole.

Unlike people I know who have allergies and such, who just try to avoid the food, all the lactose intolerant people I meet seem intent on stuffing their faces with dairy, sometimes taking some kind of medicine that doesn't even always work.
