If only I had thought to call it Supermariosymmetry.
 
more of the one year exclusivity crap. could consider Windows Store as an exception but it's Windows Store
quite sure you don't see this with consoles
ofcause on the other hand, none of the games that are getting this one year exclusivity i care so much about that i wouldn't wait over a year for a special
but ofcause, main kicker is....
effectively DRM unless someone can personally verify with a game that requires Epic
 
I mean, it's not like steam games are drm free lmao (they're also not all always online but)
If you're going to offer a critique at least be consistently precise
At the end of the day I can't blame a dev going with a better split on a fairly visible storefront (more so than itch)
 
12:30 AM
@Unionhawk most of the ones i have brought are, the others generally require steam to start up so it having an offline cancels out it being DRM (except with the ass fuckery i'm getting with 23 games wanting to update when they are already downloaded with no more updates)
@Unionhawk oh but they're not going for that, Epic is giving them more money to be exclusive
you see it wouldn't be so bad if they were just going for the Epic Store for a better cut, but they are also signing 1 year exclusive sales. after that year it seems most will go out to the other platforms
sorta obfuscates the sales comparison data for a new release, would you make more money on Epic with the lower audience but bigger cut? or on steam with the bigger audience and smaller cut
 
@Unionhawk Yeah no, I can't blame the devs for going with a better split. Although who knows who's making decisions between devs and publishers, I can't blame publishers either.
Still not going to get it on Epic Store though.
 
Yeah cdi Zelda is real good

Q: How do I remove lingering potions

Amirhossein AbounajmiSo I placed a bunch of instant harming lingering potions in my mansion and they won’t go away. It’s not the effects that I’m worried about since I’m in creative it’s just they look really bad. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thx

 
10:00 AM
@fredley I like how they call someone who's 16-25 when he did this "a kid"
 
10:35 AM
Dungeon Siege is fun to an extent. while the introduction of it would render Mules pointless there really needs to be a Return to Town spell or devices because only on Chapter 2 and tracking back to the Stonebridge from that first underground area with all the spiders is a pain
 
10:47 AM
Dungeon siege is amazing, but just the first one
I tried the second one and they railroad way too much
 
10:58 AM
@Moacir just from what i have played of the first one it feels much the same from what i remember of the second one
 
The second one has like 3 characters with specific skill trees
No customization other than what they give you
While the first one allows you to be melee, ranged, magic-user, with eery character
 
@Moacir oh that's what you meant, i thought you was talking about the world itself
 
Its like.. the first one the character gets optimized on how you play it, the second one you have to optimize how you play the character
 
you played the third one @Moacir?
 
Nope
 
11:03 AM
@Nzall exactly my thought.
but cool model
 
@Memor-X I will probably get it because it is cheap

"morning" @Kevin
 
Morning "@Kevin"
 
12:18 PM
Morning Bridge
 
Morning!
Did we talk about potential new Vampire the Masquerade sequel? :o
 
@Kevin don't think so. i sound out from an email from Paradox and seeing it on the Epic Store when i was looking for contact info
 
Hmm. I own Bloodlines from a Steam sale, but never even started it
 
It's pretty great
I should finish that some more times
 
12:22 PM
What genre is it?
I've heard the name but other than that I know nothing about it.
 
I never played the first, but Paradox has been teasing this sequel for a while now
@InvaderSkoodge RPG
 
yeah, I heard that it's a great game, but I'm not sure if I should play Redemption first, and last time I tried to play it I was somewhat daunted by the prospect of installing the fan patch
 
It's supposed to be a really great game filled with bugs and some other issues
 
It's a CRPG I think
 
not sure if it's the right one but i heard that it was a great game if you could get passed the bugs
 
12:23 PM
@InvaderSkoodge Yeah RPG, old, kinda clunky in bits. But really great in hwo you could explore and everything
 
So a diamond in the rough
 
It's not really CRPG?
You don't control a party for one and it's not turn based
 
Yeah, but the bugs is why I want to run it with the fan patch
Like, there's a massive fan patch for the game
 
I don't think I ever played it with the fan patch but I did finish it once
By which I mean I explored probably 50% of the game
And there's substorylines which I want to explore the different options
Such as the vampire twin sisters one, that was great
slaps hand No, no pre-ordering >:(
 
Cant watch now
Is it steam?
 
12:29 PM
the original is available on Steam, AFAIK the sequel is another "Epic bribed us" thing
 
@Nzall really, because Paradox listed Steam on the game page but not Epic
 
I'm not sure actually, now that you say it
Looks like it's both on Steam and Epic
 
@Nzall good, hopefully we get some real data from it this time
 
Steam, paradox.com, GOG and Epic
 
12:49 PM
Waving goodbye to @PreachGaming Wow account for the next 31 days https://t.co/2ZwYJKV627
Long story short: a streamer abused a bug to level 6 characters to 120 during one session and got a 31 day ban
 
Would it take longer than 31 days to get 6 characters to 120 without abusing bugs? If so, net win!
 
@Nzall will the characters be deleted?
 
@MattE.Эллен I'm fairly sure they'll be rolled back
@Wrigglenite They'll most likely be rolled back
 
ok, that makes sense :D
 
1:01 PM
Also, I think the number is justified: he didn't just exploit the bug, he livestreamed it to thousands of viewers AND encouraged others to join him, explaining how to exploit the bug and even at some points complaining that the item he abused had a 3 second CD between uses (it was an EXP pot that would stack with itself if you used it from a different bag slot each time)

@BunsGlazing He's been attempting this run for a long, long time.
Glad he finally managed it.
 
Pretty crazy
Didn't he get hit by the last boss a while back or something
Think I remember hearing about that
 
1:48 PM
Ooogg
Ohhhh he only did the dark souls trilogy before
 
ooogg
 
I've been so confused since I thought someone already did this a year ago, but he just did it for the dark souls games
 
So to clarify, @Unionhawk, "ooogg" is the sound of confusion being alleviated.
 
Exactly
 
no that was the sound of me making fun of @Wipqozn
 
1:51 PM
Also accurate
 
2:10 PM
Aren't most sounds the sound of making fun of @Wipqozn?
 
@BunsGlazing He got pushed around by a tutorial boss he only did for meme reasons
Because it would set the boss counter to 69
 
Ok this is weird... I just got a haircut for the first time in 5ish years
How do I even look
 
With your eyes, still.
 
5 years?
 
@BunsGlazing Well usually I just shave off my hair. I'm going from bald to afro all the time. Now is the first time I've gotten an actual haircut that's not just done with a machine
And I've done that for the past 5-7 years iirc
 
2:26 PM
Update on morning headaches, I also get some head pain when I cough.
 
@Jutschge wait, am I misunderstanding you, or did you just imply you're black?
Because you say afo
Because if so, I didn't know you're black
 
@Nzall Jewfro*
 
ah, okay
This might sound weird to ask, but do we actually have any black people in this chatroom? I know we have a couple of people from Asia, but AFAIK I think most people in here are from white European descent
 
I wonder if there needs to be a minecraft SE judging by all the questions about it :D
 
You are not the first person to wonder that, but we have conclusively decided that no, there doesn't.
 
2:37 PM
@Smock Ignoring [tag:minecraft*] should more or less get rid of all of it.
 
I will try that :E
 
Having a separate Minecraft SE would not fix anything. the problem isn't as much that there are a lot of questions, but rather that there are a lot of low quality questions
 
Yeah, a separate Minecraft.SE would just be exporting all the issues, not solving them.
 
yeah, and the issues are pretty much unsolvable because there is a dissonance between what we expect from new users and what new users actually do
 
thanks Frank - that's grayed out 2/3 of the question page haha! (i might just hide them completely)
 
2:45 PM
@Smock if you're not active in the tag it's almost required tbh
 
Huh, apparently the devs of Phoenix Point approached Epic about becoming exclusive rather the other way around.
 
3:01 PM
Exclusivity sucks
it's really annoying to have to use 5+ different launchers to play the games you want
and they all want to start with windows too ¬_¬
 
Sure, but I'm interested in the difference between Epic approaching devs to become exclusive and devs going to Epic and offering to be exclusive.
 
I remember a golden age where you could just install your game and play it, without the need for extra software running in the background
 
I'm honestly not too sure how I feel about the Epic launcher situation
 
As far as I know, Phoenix Point was already funded and even hit a number of stretch goals.
 
maybe they wanted more of a cut of the sales
 
3:05 PM
@Smock This was also the time when games had invasive DRM, you could lose your game if the CD broke and you lost your progress if you bought a new computer unless you found how to transfer the saves over
 
So it's not as if the devs were hard up for money to pay for distribution or anything.
 
the whole steam split situation sucks too though because like,
 
only a few of them had invasive DRM
 
isn't it a better split for AAAs for some reason?
or something like that? after x sales?
 
IIRC it was the time of code wheels and looking up words in instruction books
now that was DRM
well, copy protection
 
3:07 PM
@Unionhawk yeah, if you surpassed X millions in sales dollars, you got 25%, and at some point it goes to 20
 
@MattE.Эллен Instruction books printed on dark red paper so they couldn't be photocopied
 
Asking which of these 4 men hasn't been jailed yet and the answer being OJ Simpson
Oh wait, I'm mixing up with Trivial Pursuit
 
@Nzall Date and time, I suppose.
 
Leisure Suit Larry had an age verification system asking questions ostensibly only an adult would know, like sports. One of the questions was "OJ Simpson is..." and a wrong answer was "Under Indictment". OJ Simpson was the defendant of a VERY high profile murder trial a couple years later
 
I mean, that's also wrong now
just not for a period of time in the 90s
or 00s I forget it doesn't matter
 
3:17 PM
The Trivial Pursuit thing was "Who has never played Batman?", and the options were Adam West, George Clooney, Ben Affleck and Christian Bale
 
It was before your time anyway
 
"Under indictment" is different from being jailed though.
 
Yeah, I just misremembered it

Dammit, I should know better than to click links on Friday
 
3:35 PM
@Ronan mmmm nostalgia
 
I just remember serial codes and the only check done on them is a) is it valid (some math or something probably) and b) are you not using the same one as another person you're connected with via MP
 
@Dragonrage Literally listened to this all the way through to drown out Brexit
 
@Kevin I imagine that would probably be good enough for most cases, the checking people you're connected to part I mean
 
Most of the time yeah
 
same here Kevin
Obviously there was a time when you had to stick a disk in and boot to it which sucked
I guess the launchers are effectively DRM
 
3:49 PM
I wonder, there's keygens, some of which produced rather a lot of keys (some had like 5 it displayed in a loop) I wonder if anyone ever wrote down how the key generation worked
 
which makes it annoying when you have a launcher AND a game with heavy invasive DRM that installs root kits
 
user15026
