Sleep a little bit now so you can play CSD2 when it comes out for awhile and then go back to sleep?

Mad Scientist

Buying via the Playstation itself also didn't work. I managed now to buy something by buying the PSN Store balance from Amazon. It's embarrassing how terrible this store is

Fluttershy

@MadScientist Oh wow. That's weird.

Mad Scientist

And the download is slow, I'm really not impressed by this

Fluttershy

@MadScientist PSN has always had pretty slow downloads, unfortunately. :(

Yuuki

So do Salmon Run points carry over between Salmon Runs or no?

Because I'm almost definitely not getting the superbonus before tomorrow.

Unionhawk

No

Yuuki

:(

How on earth am I supposed to get 600 points in two days?

Unionhawk

18:38

It's easier at higher pay grade

I mean it's harder

but you get more points

Yuuki

Yeah but losing Salmon Runs also lowers your pay grade.

Unionhawk

Not necessarily

Yuuki

Unionhawk

We should investigate how with friends works

Yuuki

I think my multiplier is above 100% for sure.

Unionhawk

18:40

If it'd take my 175% difficulty and your 75% difficulty and average it to 100 or so?

oh

Yuuki

Well, at least I got the life vest.

Seems to be better than any shirt I have access to right now.

Unionhawk

That guy is availible all month

And yeah it should be a 4 slot shirt

Yuuki

I liked using the Brella during Salmon Run.

Unionhawk

Have you encountered a griller wave yet

Yuuki

Doesn't sound familiar, no.

Unionhawk

18:44

Oh boy

You would know

You're in for a treat at some point

the wiki doesn't actually say what the difficulty threshold required for them to spawn

I think it's when you pass into part-timer from apprentice

or maybe go-getter

Grillers are armored vehicles that have one weak spot that you have to shoot that rotates

they target one person, and will try to path to that person

If you're caught under them, you die

it's fun

You know I should have just done the @Ori thing and let you go "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING" like I did my first encounter

(like that time I tried an assasination mission in Elite with a stock viper and made it out with 2% hull and breached canopy)

Yuuki

I've fought Grillers, I think.

Unionhawk

oh

Yuuki

Oh wait, that's a Boss Salmonid. Grillers are normal mobs, right?

Unionhawk

No

Grillers are a special wave type

Yuuki

Are they those weird tentacle things with the police riot shield in singleplayer?

Unionhawk

18:52

Yeah

no

Yuuki

@MBraedley Stephen King also wrote That Part in IT so I'd take Stephen King's word on movies with a grain of salt.

@Yuuki Even big cats are still cats.

Fluttershy

19:43

@Yuuki This isn't a spoiler to say, but That Part is thankfully not in the new movie.

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy I heard the new movie is pretty much only kids, the adults either don't exist or play a very small role.

Which is probably for the best, the kids were the most interesting part of the book anyway.

Q: Mismatched vertical and horizontal sensitivity

Mirage: Arcane Warfare has an increased emphasis on ranged combat over the developer's previous game Chivalry: Medieval Warfare and vertical (y-axis) sensitivity is far lower than horizontal (x-axis) sensitivity. How to even out mouse sensitivity?

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria The kids-as-grown-ups aren't in the new one. That apparently comes as a second movie. Bill Skarsgard's returning as Pennywise for it.

StrixVaria

I haven't seen the new movie but that doesn't sound like a thing that should exist.

Yuuki

@Fluttershy Yeah, I don't think there's any way IT'd be on the screen if That Part made it in.

@StrixVaria A second movie shouldn't exist?

StrixVaria

19:46

@Yuuki A movie primarily featuring the grown ups.

Yuuki

The new one's basically half of the story.

user15026

All I know about this movie is it involves clowns.

Yuuki

@Ash And floating.

user15026

I didn't even know that

StrixVaria

My memory of book plots is notoriously horrible, but I literally cannot remember a single interesting thing that happened with them as adults. Every interesting scene I remember was with the kids as kids.

user15026

19:47

I just know it's that movie about clowns being scary.

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria The director said he's still going to involve the kids, but the main plot is supposed to follow the grown-ups. So yeah, the second half of the book, pretty much.

StrixVaria

I should reread that book actually.

It's been forever.

Yuuki

Life's a pane in the ass when you're short.

Fluttershy

To be fair, the grown-up's portion of the book was way faster paced than the kids' portion. The adults took place over like three days, I think? The kids were an entire summer and then some.

Unionhawk

Why would you punish a fish getting that drunk with death

MadMAxJr

Fish like that are what killed off the dwarves.

Yuuki

Also, can't cook a fish with the power out.

And it's a bit hard to start a fire when your city's underwater.

Unionhawk

cooking finds a way

(this is not how it works)

The Mattbat999

@Yuuki good point

Avery

@Yuuki not a bot but an esolang I think

Yuuki

That's right, an esolang that only uses offensive words.

Again, intent can be considered suspect but the message shouldn't be a valid flag.

@MetaEd all the stevonnie ships I saw were explicit and like they're just kids and like i don't give approval stamp to that

stevonnie ships are more like "stevonnie with other people"

MetaEd

Gotcha.

Yuuki

Why do people like to use portmanteau names for pairings?

Granted, it's not nearly as bad as what the RWBY fandom does.

DanmakuGrazer

@Yuuki Is pink a pairing?

Yuuki

One RWBY pairing name involves historical references and knowledge of the name of another pairing.

@DanmakuGrazer ?

DanmakuGrazer

Red + white

Avery

21:55

I overall don't care about the relationship having more than two people but the explicit nature is overall something I don't enjoy, especially when the people involved are minors, even more so when they're prepubescent (though arguably steven is probably close to an age where he could technically enter puberty but considering everything that's unlikely).

Yuuki

@DanmakuGrazer Uhh... Pink is a color?

DanmakuGrazer

I mean the R and W in RWBY

If you mix them, you get pink

Avery

@Yuuki idk, tumblr likes it

DanmakuGrazer

I thought that'd be clever

Yuuki

The R and W in RWBY doesn't stand for "red" and "white".

DanmakuGrazer

21:56

I know, I know

But it's close enough, isn't it?

Yuuki

... Sorta? I dunno, the fandom calls that pairing "White Rose" because the RWBY fandom is really dumb.

DanmakuGrazer

Oh well

Yuuki

@Avery I guess it reduces the number of characters used but it's still annoying to me.

Especially if there's characters with similar names.

Fluttershy

@Yuuki Well, the R is for Ruby Rose, and the W is for Weiss Schnee, and Weiss is German for White, so it makes sense.

Yuuki

Like what happens if Steven Universe gets a new character named Ronnie?

Avery

21:59

@Yuuki yeah, and there's people who disagree on what to use and boom now you have two names for same ship

arguably connverse is not a ship though, as it's canon

Yuuki

@Fluttershy Yes, it's not as dumb as "Lancaster". It's still a convoluted name though.

"Ruby/Weiss" is a perfectly fine name and it conveys all the necessary information with requiring other knowledge.

Avery

@Yuuki I believe ronaldo is referred to as ronnie by some

Yuuki

Oh, they're starting with Pokemon Ultra Eclipse.

Pokemon Gold and Silver coming to 3DS Virtual Console.

Also purchasing either game gets you Celebi in Sun/Moon.

user15026

Oh, the Nintendo Direct?

Yuuki

Yeah.

Chippies

22:05

@Fluttershy all the reviews say that, unless you need the stylus or dual cameras, just get the S8+. It's pretty much the same phone, but with better battery

Fluttershy

@Chippies Yeah, but I can't get as good a deal on the S8+. :(

Yuuki

@Ash Yokai Watch 2 update is coming tomorrow.

Chippies

@Fluttershy you can get Note 8 for less than S8+? :O

Yuuki

Also, there's an ultimate edition of Yokai Watch 2 is coming.

user15026

@Yuuki oooh

Yuuki

22:07

New Professor Layton game.

Chippies

I mean, if the prices are same or note is cheaper, go for note

Yuuki

Except no Professor Layton.

Fluttershy

@Chippies Yeah. There's a trade-in deal for the Note8 that gets it for 50% off with a trade-in of an S7 edge, which is what I have currently.

Yuuki

It's his kid.

Chippies

but the main argument is that S8+ is Note 8 without the stylus for almost half the price

BlueBarren

22:07

Oh that's interesting, Minecraft for new 3DS only

Fluttershy

So I could trade in my phone to get the Note8 for $480 instead of $960, whereas the S8+ is still $840.

Chippies

@Fluttershy that sounds like a nice deal

Fluttershy

@Chippies They also throw in a 128gb SD card and a wireless charger!

Yuuki

@BlueBarren Probably because New 3DS has a better processor.

Chippies

I got S8 couple weeks ago and it's an amazing piece of technology

honestly though, Note would be too big for me

and since you have S7 Edge, make sure you're okay with the massive size of the Note before you commit

user15026

@Yuuki yeah, it's been out for mobile phones for a while now but I'd rather it on my 3DS

Yuuki

Huh, they went through 3DS announcements quickly.

Chippies

@Fluttershy a colleague of mine has an iPhone 7 Plus and it's way too big for my pockets. I haven't held a Note 8, but I think it's similarly sized... Also, the fingerprint reader is supposedly impossible to reach on Note 8 without readjusting your hand position (it's kinda hard to reach even on S8, but even more so on S8+ and Note 8)

Yuuki

22:13

Yuuki

Unfortunately, it looks like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has terrible voice acting.

Fluttershy

@Chippies Hmm... Thanks for the input! I do like the size of the S7 edge, so that has me leaning more toward keeping it, but I'll give the Note8 a try in the store.

DanmakuGrazer

This is way too indepth

I don't care about the game's mechanics

Chippies

@Fluttershy before the S8, I had a OnePlus X, which is a 5" phone, whereas the S8 is 5.8". Funny enough, the S8 actually feels smaller, because it's narrower (but taller)

DanmakuGrazer

22:16

What a terrible idea

Chippies

it's so great, you can have a large screen AND a compact frame

Yuuki

So this is why the Direct is 45 minutes long...

DanmakuGrazer

This is already longer than the entire 3DS section

Yuuki
