@GodEmperorDune Yeah, Blizzard gives you two keys if you pre-ordered.

@GodEmperorDune one of my brothers might be "a friend". I don't know if they've both bought the game yet or not.

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Oh yeah, you missed the stress test weekend, didn't you?

MBraedley

The second key is only good for the open Beta, AFAIK.

Unionhawk

@Yuuki Yes

MBraedley

19:01

@Yuuki As did I

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Something about you not knowing that you actually had to sign up for the beta?

Maple taffy

Maple taffy (sometimes maple toffee in English-speaking Canada, tire d'érable in French-speaking Canada; also sugar on snow in the United States) is a sugar candy made by boiling maple sap past the point where it would form maple syrup but not so long that it becomes maple butter or maple sugar. It is part of traditional culture in Quebec, Eastern Ontario, New Brunswick and northern New England. In these regions, it is poured onto the snow and then lifted either with a small wooden stick, such as a popsicle stick, or a metal dinner fork. The event in New England is called a sugar on snow party...

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn @gn FUCK @ChromeSlice

I've never done that, though.

@fredley Yes, it's a thing

fredley

@AshleyNunn Of all the Canadians, I trust you the most

Wow

user15026

Mind you, you want to do it more like the maple taffy thing, less like "dump maple syrup on snow"

fredley

I want to go to Canada now

Unionhawk

19:05

It's literally the most canadian thing ever

Yuuki

Argh, I'm considering whether I want to pick up the season pass for Dark Souls 3. Dark Souls DLC has generally been really good, so I'm more inclined to do so.

But I'm still really hung up on the SotFS situation.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki dlc rated 5/7 perfect hitboxes

Unionhawk

5/7 flawless game flawless port

@twobugs your stream is leaking

GodEmperorDune

not to mention 5/7 perfect lore, so intricate

Nate Kerkhofs

BTW, is @ChromeSlice the new name of Gnomeslice?

Unionhawk

19:10

yes

All right, let's get this stupid phone call out of the way

Nate Kerkhofs

Why did he change his name? Did the society for short people complain?

SaintWacko

@Unionhawk I know that feeling

GodEmperorDune

@NateKerkhofs he was feeling a bit metallic

Unionhawk

@SaintWacko It's even worse because it's in reference to an alleged involvement in a violation of the code of conduct or housing contract or something

I don't know what we're actually getting hit with

SaintWacko

@Unionhawk Ooh, fun. What happened?

MadMAxJr

19:12

Sweet, just got my overwatch keys.

Unionhawk

It's either a fire safety for posessing candles, or an illegal access for allegedly opening our attic door

SaintWacko

@Unionhawk o.0

Where do you live that you're not allowed to open your attic door?

Or possess candles?

Kevin van der Velden

Dorm

SaintWacko

Ohhhhh

Okay

That makes sense

Unionhawk

school-owned house which is insured as a rental property, and as part of that, all places need 2 fire escapes

Yuuki

19:14

@Unionhawk Well, maybe you should tell your roommates to stop astral projecting into Yankee Candle.

Unionhawk

Our attic does not have such fire escapes, so it is restricted

Yuuki

Possession is not a joke, not everyone can learn Occlumency.

Unionhawk

And I'm p sure that's the only reason the only thing stopping us from walking out the bathroom window onto a roof is a sign that says it's not allowed because I think that's technically being counted as an escape

Otherwise they'd dorm it up and prevent us from opening the windows more than 3 inches

Fluttershy

Snow cream

Snow cream can be one of two distinct desserts. A cream-based dessert with one or more flavoring agents added. A dessert in which snow is mixed with a sweetened dairy-based liquid to make an ice cream substitute. This is also known as snow ice cream. == The cream-based dessert == The cream-based variety of Snow "Cream" is an old English recipe. It is known in continental Europe at least as early as the late 15th or early 16th century where it can be found in the Dutch recipe collection now known as KANTL Gent 15. It has been suggested that "Snow" may be even older than that. The common ingredients...

Maybe maple syrup and snow on a stick isn't so weird after all.

@twobugs I kinda wanna get DS3 with the season pass but I'm worried that SotFS will happen again. Have you read anything that says that they'll absolutely not do that?

Unionhawk

Yuuki

@SaintWacko Scholar of the First Sin.

@twobugs Well, GOTY edition is about expected. The question is whether that version will be able to play with vanilla.

Unionhawk

Which is disadvantageous to me because our original guy is our neighbor who doesn't have much of a problem with us as an organization

two bugs

Beats me. I could see it going either way, really. I heard very few people complaining about SotFS

Unionhawk

Oh well

@twobugs "take more of my money guyz"

- reddit, I assume

two bugs

19:24

Compare this to Dragon's Dogma where almost everyone was saying Capcom should be brutally murdered in the streets for Dark Arisen

Yuuki

@twobugs I'm sure SotFS is fine, I just don't want to buy Dark Souls 3 and then they split the playerbase later on.

And as a result, vanilla has next to nobody playing.

two bugs

@Yuuki Right, I get that. I would assume they pull the same thing because they get to double dip on sales and nobody really calls them on it.

Unionhawk

Except @twobugs

two bugs

@Yuuki Do you still need an Overwatch early beta key? Just got mine

Yuuki

@twobugs It'd be nice, of course, but go ahead and give priority to people who haven't already pre-ordered or played stress test weekend.

two bugs

19:26

Blizzard keeps teasing me with emails and then I click and it's HEY MAN DID U KNO THAT THE NEW HEARTHSTONE EXPANSION IS OUT? Yes I do, I bought a bunch of packs and played already!

Okay, I'll see if my extremely dumb friend could be convinced to play

He refused because he "doesn't like that type of game" (This is his answer for everything he hasn't played)

Yuuki

@twobugs ... I'm sorta tempted to ask for the key now because I don't like that guy.

SaintWacko

@Yuuki Same here

Yuuki

I have very strong opinions about him thanks to your stream.

two bugs

Haha

SaintWacko

@twobugs I would love the key if there's no one else clamoring for it

two bugs

19:27

He's not QUITE that bad

MadMAxJr

My spare is already spoken for.

SaintWacko

I'm ordering from cdkeys, so I won't get the early access

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs is this mc cum or the guest streamer bro?

two bugs

But he refused to play the stress test even when I invited him to play with me!

SaintWacko

@twobugs Okay, then he definitely doesn't deserve the key

two bugs

19:28

@GodEmperorDune Neither, I think he was there for one of my very early DS2 streams when only @badp was present

Q: What do you call bosses who are stronger than the endgame boss?

In nearly every RPG style game, there are bosses you can unlock throughout the game who are significantly more powerful than the endgame boss. These bosses are powerful enough to requiring more hours in grinding than the actual story line of the game. Other than the term "boss" that can refer t...

I think you could pick too broad

Unionhawk

@GodEmperorDune Depends on what the gap is

Okay, I think it's POETS time.

badp

@GodEmperorDune I think the only person who disagrees is DCShannon

Banning newcomers from questions about "speed run", "bullet hell", "cheese", "god mode", "laning", "frag", "twinking", "roguelike", and "micro" is an outright hostile policy. I for one wouldn't be interested in joining such a community. — mwcz Apr 16 at 0:49

@mwcz All of those questions are terrible. "Completing the game fast." "Lots of bullet on screen." "Easy to do, hard to counter." "You can't take damage." "Going back and forth on your lane, which is where the creep go." "Reducing an opponent's health to 0." "A low level character with end game equipment" "This term has been so diluted it's meaningless" "Clicking really hard" — badp ♦ Apr 16 at 9:41

@badp I don't see how listing perfectly reasonable answers to questions shows that they're bad questions. I would conclude the opposite. Your statement doesn't seem to match the supporting evidence. — DCShannon yesterday

GodEmperorDune

indeed, :/

badp

though I like it that "clicking really hard" is "a perfectly reasonable answer" to "what is micro"

GodEmperorDune

@badp "mousing adequacy" would also be a reasonable answer

badp

nah, @twobugs can micro

it only really matters that you get the center of mass of your click cloud right
