calling it now
I don't get it
I think it's just supposed to be promo art for a TV show
I doubt there's much to 'get'
@twobugs It's quoting Shakespeare

Q: Grant Titles to Non-local people crusader-king

William NguyenShould I grant titles of my newly conquered lands to courtier from my religion and culture ? Does it help spread my influence on them ? E.g: An Orthodox Russian Courtier gets granted lands on Islamic Kazan region.

@GnomeSlice that doesn't really sound like trap IMO
Oh hey, thief 3 is on sale buy sit
also Thief 2, which I think I was trying to get @RedRiderX to play? or was it @KevinvanderVelden?
ONE OF US
Yup Thief 2
01:15
@Wipqozn tbh I'm looking at Deus Ex: HR
@RedRiderX Also a solid choice, but thief 2 is much muc hbetter imo
I haven't played it yet.
Huh. It's not on Steam?
@Sterno Thief 3? It is, but you need to search "Thief: Deadly shadows". Thief 3 doesn't have 3 in the name.
I guess I have those on GOG. That's like 2 years of RPGs right there
01:18
The moral of the story is that if @RedRiderX doesn't play Thief 2 then the terrorists win
Yeah. $1.74 is a hell of a deal.
Does Thief 2 fall into the category of things you want to get on GOG because of newer patches?
Steam version works great

@RedRiderX yeah steam version and gog one are identical.
@Wipqozn Right I think that's what pcgw recommended.
@wip @ste also you win
@RedRiderX No my friend, you win, because it's fantastic.
If you're skipping into thief 2 I'd watch all the cutscenes for thief 1 + a story summary online
And make sure you beat the last mission so that you can taunt @Wipqozn the Coward
01:35
Oh ha. Digital Homicide was banned from steam apparently.
@Sterno If he beats it I'll just need to go back and suffer through the rest of it
@Unionhawk yup
Luckily @Sterno bought enough copies of Galactic Hitman for all of us

Q: In "Enderal" story mod, is the main character the abandoned Tealor's child?

YasskierIn the standalone story expansion to "Skyrim"- "Enderal" the main character is a halfbreed, child of two human races.

Q: Do I keep anything when I start a new game?

AshIf I finish the game and start a new one, do I keep anything like my hourglasses or hearts? Or do I have to start from nothing? I bought some hourglasses with real money, so I'd like to know if they're going to disappear!

0
Q: Is there any point to calling the people I like?

AshMaking phone calls costs hourglasses. Does it help me cement my relationship with whoever I want to pursue if I call them? Does making calls have any benefits over just doing the chats and texts and receiving calls?

Q: How to delete a fleet that is still missing in action in Stellaris

bcyyI've encountered a bug - after assimilating a vassal empire, the vassal's fleet joins my own. Part of that vassal fleet happened to be in another empire's territory at the time, resulting in an MIA scenario. Unlike a regular post-war MIA scenario, however, the date of return changes synchronously...

@Wipqozn I don't know why DX:MD insists on having you run back and forth around the ctiy over and over again once the curfew goes into effect. So boring.
@Sterno worst part of the game cc @TimStone
Well, it finally gave me a use for the invisibility power and biocells. I just pop it and keep feeding my energy meter while I sprint

Q: How do you spawn a wall mounted banner that is white with commands in minecrafft

Farg_the_GreatI have been trying to spawn banners on the wall using the /fill command and it works. the only problem is that I want the banners to be solidly white whereas they are black.

Drama!!! START!!!!
> idiot: "ban me idgaf"

Holy shit apparently defense is hard today
This match is going into round 6
6-4 entering round 6
It's now entering a round 7
WHat
They each got 3 full attacks done in 1 time bank on Volskaya, and 1 team still has 3 minutes to capture A for victory
@Unionhawk you talking about overwatch?
Oh.
Quick or competitive?
I'm currently watching MOONMOON stream, and it's currently a 6-6 match with 1:30 remaining
Which is unusual since normally that map ends at most 4-4
user15026
03:30
@twobugs :( :(
@Unionhawk I dunno, unknowingly telling a popular streamer "ban me idgaf" doesn't have the same hilarity as unknowingly telling a relatively well-known employee.
Like, it'd be funnier if the idiot told Kaplan "ban me idgaf".
That's true

@Chippies Neat
I kinda feel like I should try Battleborn but I'm already really into Paragon
@GnomeSlice I have bought Battleborn because I could get it for 10 EUR at a local store. I haven't played it yet though
@GnomeSlice it was in a humble bundle a little while ago
it's not bad, but I think it's quite different from Paragon
My point being that I only have time for one MOBA
I wouldn't consider Battleborn a full-on MOBA anyway, it's more of a single player / moba with friends, imho
@Chippies Indeed, I even bought it specifically because it actually had a singleplayer campaign
12:33
...It does?
Anyway, they're updating the firewall at my office, so I might go offline later today
15 Jul booklet. Given free by education thingy. Yes, first page features Recep overlord https://t.co/Sd5QHY4K4f
@GnomeSlice Yeah, check the Totalbiscuit WTF is. It has a singleplayer campaign that can also be done in coop
Gotta love the education ministry abusing their status for politic advertising.
Yay, Erdoğan chants and songs in our school...
This is why I love Internet. I can move away from issues with a single click.
@arda That doesn't fix the issues, though

Q: Can I syncronize Plague Inc. Mobile Application with its PC-Version?

AttalosI watched some videos of Plague Inc PC-Version and I liked its graphics. I started to play Plague Inc. on my mobile phone and I made some progress. After I saw the PC-Version's gameplay-video, I decided to play it on PC. Is there any way to syncronize my progress that I made on mobile-app with...

12:50
@Nzall This is 50 minutes long
It is total biscuit
Dude battleborn looks fun
Too bad it's dead I guess
13:08
@Chippies Apparently Paladins has changed a great deal since the closed beta, and has become even more of a ripoff.
@GnomeSlice only 218 people playing now, according to SteamSpy.
Er... SteamCharts, I guess.
What about on PS4?
@Fluttershy is that... bad on a tuesday morning?
Yeah that seems like plenty
even in Europe it's still only 4-5pm, which isn't late enough for most working people to be home and ready to game
inb4 dota 2 being played by almost 700k people right now
@Chippies It's a far cry from the 12k+ that used to play.
My biggest issue with Battleborn was their inability to balance effectively. Both in terms of hero power and matchmaking.
13:13
Well, as I said, I don't really think it was ever meant to be a huge MOBA
it seems to be built to be fun to play against AI or with some friends
the single player campaign (as little as I played it) was fun and very borderlands-like
I enjoyed playing the single player stuff with @OrigamiRobot!
I think for many people the single player campaign was the bigger draw than the MOBA aspect
@Fluttershy rip @OrigamiRobot
13:29
Paragon seems like a much more serious MOBA, yeah
Guess I'll stick with that

I understand that there is split opinion for support for this trial, and that is not what this discussion is really about. My concern is the afterma...

@GnomeSlice It definitely is. Paragon's goal was to bring "true competitive moba" to consoles. I think they've succeeded fairly well. Granted, they don't have a lot of competition on the console MOBA front. I think Smite is the only one?
@Chippies OH! LET ME GUESS WHO THIS GUY IS
click, is Force Gaming
I CALLED IT
@Unionhawk I DIDN'T HEAR IT, SO IT DOESN'T COUNT
@Chippies Well, it's kinda difficult to hear text.
13:36
@Yuuki text2speech is a real thing
@Fluttershy Yeah, Smite's pretty big though isn't it?
I guessed purely on 1. thumbnail font and color, and 2. because he makes super annoying overwatch related videos
I've seen a bit of gameplay and it just seems kinda flat
literally, too
There's no elevation in the map
@GnomeSlice elevation isn't really a thing in MOBAs, Paragon is kinda different with that
@GnomeSlice Ish. Dota 2 and LoL still reign supreme on PC, though.
13:40
Those two really don't appeal to me
Looks like a clickfest
I guess, at the moment, it's LoL > Dota 2 > Smite > HotS > Paragon?
Do any of them have more than one map?
@Fluttershy I feel like Smite might be on level terms with HotS.
@GnomeSlice HotS has a lot of maps.
Smite has different game modes too
@GnomeSlice HotS has several maps. Not sure on the rest.
13:42
I wonder if Paragon will ever get more
Seems unlikely
LoL technically has three maps, each for a different game mode.
@Yuuki But the Rift is the only one that matters anymore, isn't it?
But Twisted Treeline has a much smaller playerbase than Rift or Abyss.
@Fluttershy Well, plenty of people play Howling Abyss for giggles.
I think that's why I like HotS so much. The map rotation really allows for a nice mixup in the meta.
HotS, on the other hand, has 12 maps.
13:44
@Yuuki is that the one-lane gamemode?
Paragon is so good
@Unionhawk Yeah.
@GnomeSlice I'll definitely give it a try sometime this week.
@GnomeSlice I enjoy Paragon, but, as with any moba, I tend to shy away from PvP.
How do you play them then?
Coop vs AI.
13:46
in the words of the immortal xX420no$c0peXx, "get gud"
@GnomeSlice So is your face
@Yuuki TIL I can edit messages via the transcript. MOD ABUSE IN SECRET.
@Wipqozn If his face OH WHAAAAT?
you missed an A
@GnomeSlice I'm sure I could, but the anxiety of letting my team down keeps me from trying.
@Fluttershy they're all jerks anyway
So who cares :D
13:55
@Fluttershy play with people you know
Also in paragon you can't say more than the canned chat messages on the console so that's nice
@GnomeSlice I don't know enough people playing any specific moba to get a full team of five. :P
because I never knew you could do that. MAkes sense, but pre-mod I'd never be looking at messags <2m old in the transcript which I posted
It shows up as edited anyway with a history
Are any of you active on Workplace as well?
FOOLISH TURTLE
13:57
I have one friend who plays Smite, two who play Paragon, one who plays HotS, and two who still actively play LoL, as far as I know.
@Fluttershy I met a group of players I regularly play Paragon with now
And I won't even touch Dota 2 because that game is garbage, imo.
Although they were a full group before and I'm pretty much the worst of the lot so it's only when they have a spot
@Fluttershy :'(

I checked Force Gaming's channel just to see how annoying he's been lately and I see one titled "I Placed TOO LOW!" with thumbnail "WTF BLIZZ"
@Unionhawk LOL is the worst
Well not really, it's better then smite
Also, to reiterate a point I made the other night that has nothing to do with the topic at hand: If you aren't watching Mr. Robot, you're doing it wrong.
I'm watching stargate SG-1, is that acceptable?
14:00
I'll watch mr robot after
@Fluttershy >:(
I'm sure @MBraedley will agree with me
followed by "Are you AVERAGE?", "Stuck in ELO HELL", and "Can't Climb Solo"
@KevinvanderVelden Acceptable.
@KevinvanderVelden Yes, that is acceptable
(Although according to @Fluttershy, I too am doing it wrong.)
Yes. I'm sure you deserve to be Grandmaster Top 500 except Blizzard robbed you
See, trust in your friendly neighborhood Asgard
14:01
@MBraedley Accurate.
@Unionhawk Even in competitive, a single great player should pull a mediocre team up against another mediocre team. Obviously Force Gaming isn't a great player.
I'm not going to watch the videos to see where he placed, and it kind of depends on what role you like to play
A support player can only drag their team so far
14:05
@Unionhawk I feel like he's pandering rather than complaining about his rank.
Probably
But that's even more annoying
I think the only Overwatch channel I watch is Cynical Nerds. And they need to release map strategy for Eichenwald already.
Remember that game on Route 66 when I played as Soldier?
And they didn't get past the first point?
I used their Route 66 map strategy, setting up on the diner, and it worked great.
Sometimes, when I feel like I'm good at Overwatch, I watch MOONMOON or Seagull and realize I'm actually garbage at Overwatch.
Oh, that was defense
@Fluttershy MOONMOON and Seagull are top 500 and professional, respectively
14:07
There was once a time where I could have gone competitive in Halo/CoD, but I avoided tournaments like a plague. Now, I'm too rusty to do anything.
@Unionhawk But if you're a great player, you should be able to play all roles with some competency.
I mean
I consider myself a competent support and tank player which typically fills open roles
I am an incompetent dps player, but my junkrat game is ok I guess
@Yuuki Makes no mention as to whether it'll be available outside of the US
14:10
I need to get good at so many heroes, but I'm all the time like "goddammit I'm going to have to go support to drag my team kicking and screaming to victory"
I just need to start instant locking more
Someone usually grabs tank, so I typically play either support or damage.
I hate having to fill in Overwatch. Because 9 times out of 10, it means playing Reinhardt. And I'm absolutely useless with Reinhardt.
More specifically, I play either Ana or damage.
@Fluttershy Play D.Va then :D
Enemy Rein shield lasts for what seems like five minutes. My shield shatters in about two seconds.
14:12
D.Va best non-mei character
Reinhardt can be slightly tricky sometimes
That shift key is so tempting sometimes
"Catchphrase!" wooooooosh as a reinhardt goes by
Like "I can take this reinhardt fool to 200 health and force his shield down" tempting
@KevinvanderVelden tracer best non-mei non-dva character
But the better thing to do in that situation is keep spamming fire strike for earthshatter charge
And then remember not to ult nothing
14:17
But but Catchphrase!
CATCHPHRASE!
jeez gotta love yurtici shipping
the part arrived to their delivery thingy 1km away like 9 hours ago, still not delivered
going to pick it up in person
worst part is that I ordered it with name of my cousin (who lives in our house until he can find a part-time job and a place to rent) so I can't go alone either. Oh well, at least we were talking about going to the mall near the delivery thingy today.
So, For Honor is a hell of a lot of fun. But it's P2P, and that's going to kill the game.
Pay 2 Stab
@Fluttershy pay 2 play?
Or peer 2 peer
14:34
@KevinvanderVelden peer 2 peer
So, if you aren't host, you're pretty much screwed.
p2p for games is just screaming "we want hackers"
Literally every game I tried to play during the alpha ended with me playing on a team with bots against a team of all bots, or one person and three bots.
14:37
Elite is P2P and it makes pvp super great
@Fluttershy well that's alpha for you
popularity for online games is just screaming "we want hackers"
@KevinvanderVelden The closed technical test was more stable than the closed alpha! :P
If they don't have to steal the game, they will steal the accounts for items and money.
Combat logging, while probably less of a problem for a game like for honor, is also a problem with p2p
Since the player literally ceases to exist upon disconnect
14:46
@Fluttershy I never understood why people want to bot in a competitive multiplayer game.
That's more of an issue for a game like elite, where the player literally has roughly a thousand health since they are a spaceship
Like, what's the benefit? So you can say you got rank 50 in CoD but still get beaten by 12 year olds?
For teh lulz
Bots as in "computer ai opponent" not as in "person botting"
@KevinvanderVelden Ah, okay
14:47
At least, that's what I've read
Or because they're getting old and need an advantage
Or because not that kind of botting
Most relevantly
yeah, but my point still stands. Why do people use bots to play for their accounts in multiplayer games? Talking about fully botting, not something like an aimbot
Oh
I don't fucking know, because games are super grindy and it takes too long t-t
@Nzall Because it is not a matter of actually being better. It is a matter of looking better than you. And hopefully make you fell worse. And bad. And if they get you to disconnect and cry, those are bonus point.
And I don't have time to play 24/7 but I need to b cool
14:50
@Derpy And who exactly cares that you APPEAR to look better than someone else?
I mean, it's often soon obvious that you're botting, so what prestige do you get from that?
Do people actually care that you've gotten rank 50 while not caring that you did so while botting?
Because all you did was download a file and move your mouse a bit
I played against a bot in Overwatch one night. It was playing Zarya. Really... Really badly.
There isn't even any benefit from having a high rank. At least when you're cheating on an exam, you might be able to bluff your way into a job or certificate
WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRgarbl
@Nzall Yep, my bad... I was a tad off there. Let me explain better... There was once a very nice children book called "The rainbow goblins". It was about some sort of goblins that used to hunt the rainbows and "drink" them. Those are obviously fake, but here today we have the Tears Goblin.
It is not about begin better. When you don't know how to feel better yourself, then you drive your focus into making others fell worse
@Derpy So they get off on making others feel bad?
14:55
@Nzall precisely.
@Derpy Maybe that's what we need to fix. Instead of trying to fight the botting problem, fight the reason why people feel like they need to bot
like, make better matchmaking so they have more fun playing
or make the gameplay itself satisfying
@KevinvanderVelden THIS IS NEITHER A MORNING NOR A GOOD ONE
@badp I assumed from your standard wake-up sounds that you were just waking up
Thus classifying this as "close enough"
these are not waking up sounds
these are whargarbl sounds
but they're more on the WAR side of thing than the garbl side of things
THE WHAR/GARBL BALANCE HAS BEEN DISRUPTED
@badp are they not the same thing?
@Nzall Good luck with that. I heard one a girl in a bar realized how everybody could finally be happy.... but sadly the planet she was on was blown up before she could pick up a phone and tell somebody of her idea.
@KevinvanderVelden no
Wardrobe stuff, Pokemon Amie, Pikachu's and Eevee's Z-move.
14:59

And new lemur Pokemon.
