@Nzall yes it's on Steam and it shouldn't have altered/missing CG

Idea Factory has ported most of the games they have sold internationally themselves on Steam. i think the only one is Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection which is a Raising Sim/Rhythm game where the characters are Idols

11:20 AM

@Yuuki I like that very much

Memor-X

@Moacir i have all of them including the original versions of the Re;Birth games so i know that despite being mostly the same, Re;Birth 2 is missing the customisation feature of being able to give NepGear's HDD Core a new texture

@Moacir which one, Super Neptunia RPG?

Moacir

@Memor-X The entire series

Is it a good game to like, get all of them and play them back to back

Memor-X

@Moacir well some of them uses different mechanics in them like Hyperdevotion Noire is Turn Based Strategy, Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed is hack and slash with Senren Kagura kind of damage (characters clothes get torn) and Super Neptunia RPG looks similar to Child of Light and plot lines don't exactly follow one after another (ie. Re;Birth, Re;Birth 2 and Tagmension are totally different worlds) but i have enjoyed the ones i have played

Moacir

@Memor-X I never knew that there was a name for that mechanic. It is a lewd focused game or the game itself is good without the lewd part?

Nzall

11:38 AM

@Ave Yeah, I mean, that was to be expected. companies don't really like it when they make less money, so generally speaking, anything that would serve to drive prices down in a sliding price range instead just slides the scale towards the upper end

Ave

@Nzall correct

Nzall

@Moacir I'm confused about this too. The games on Steam apparently usually have the sexual content and/or nudity tag, but then they don't explain it further. Like, Witcher 3 also could have those tags, but it tends to be optional content

Memor-X

@Moacir the series itself there is are some fan servicey/lewd moments but it isn't like all the time. though some characters like Iris Heart plays on that (she's effectively a dominatrix) and a good amount of yuri moments with a mix of both canon (Vert and IF in Re;Birth) and subtext (Uni and Noire being all tsundere when it comes to Nepgear and Neptune).

nudity wise it's your normal "they obviously look naked but you don't see privates" and there is the on occasion pantry shot plus swimsuits but i would say the nudity in the first Witcher game with those cards you get with your "encounters" is more explicit that what i have seen with Neptunia

Moacir

@Nzall I thought witcher 3 had the sexual content and nudity tags?

Nzall

@Moacir yeah, I wasn't sure and I don't really want to check at work

Like, one of the reasons we do not provide support for pirated games is because apart from GOG games, playing a pirated copy tends to involve altering the game files or otherwise changing the way the game code executes, which means that the issue might be caused by the crack itself, or that people who legitimately own the game migth not be able to help because they can't verify the problem.

Correction

As an Italian you'd never go to a restaurant to ask for pasta and butter

You literally cook some pasta and put some butter on it and stir a bit to accelerate melting

ToxicFrog

@badp Hazan attributes the invention of fettucini alfredo (as a distinct and richer variant of fettucini al burro with an element of showmanship) to Alfredo di Lelio, which is backed up by every other source I've read on the subject

The addition of cream seems to be a US-specific variant, though

(although IMO that's far more defensible than what the US has done to carbonara)

SaintWacko

3:37 PM

@badp My daughter does that

badp

@ToxicFrog I mean, sure. But this is not part of our general culinary culture

@SaintWacko my sister, an Italian who used to be really difficult about food, would instead ask for pasta and olive oil

case in point

ToxicFrog

There are tour guides for Italy from the 20s and 30s talking about how when in Rome you have to check out di Lelio's restaurant and this amazing thing he does with fettucini and butter and cheese. To me, invented in Rome by an Italian chef makes it pretty italian even if it's attained greater popularity elsewhere.

badp

Good luck mansplaining italianity to an Italian

I'm really happy that you believe you have a better understanding of what is part of our culture and identity than we do

👍

Italians in particular are renown for not having changed much since the 30s

ToxicFrog

@badp I think we're talking past each other, since I understood "Alfredo is not an Italian thing" as meaning "Alfredo was invented by non-Italians and uses 'italianness' as a marketing thing", in much the same way that, say, the ubiquitous yellow chicken curry one finds in British pubs is not actually an Indian dish.

And you seem to have meant it as "it's not part of Italian popular culinary culture"

Man, I wish I were still in bed

We had some pretty big thunderstorms come through last night

Tornado warnings and all

So of course the sirens were going off all night, and whenever they did it would wake the kids up -.-

And they cancelled school yesterday because they were worried about the storms, which didn't hit until the evening, and then cancelled it again today because of the tail end of the storms

Half Empty

I'm surprised it's not smart enough to figure that one out

SaintWacko

@HalfEmpty Huh, yeah, that is surprising

user15026

@SaintWacko oh no

Half Empty

my proposal at area51 about smoking got deleted

Guess that's not really surprising, I didn't narrow it down very well anyway

user15026

@HalfEmpty did they give a reason?

Half Empty

4:18 PM

I dunno, it's just not there any more

area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/122339/smoking-vaping

Doesn't really matter I don't think it was going to succeed

user15026

I just find it weird you didn't get any sort of explanation

Half Empty

I used my regular account name and avatar

Looks like my discussion question was deleted as well

Mmm sushi pizza

Moacir

I want Pizza Judge @badp to tell te veredict. Heaven or hell?

(There is a sushi-burger here in my town, but I never tried it)

badp

5:02 PM

any pizza with that amount of spread on top is hell

anything with a sushi border is hell

do note that I did not acknoweldge those as pizza

Wrigglenite

Is that even pizza? I'm not asking in an elitist way

It looks like it's just sushi

Moacir

Now, is sushi anything that has rice and uncooked fish?

Frank

Well, technically, it's not pizza, it's just made to look like pizza.

I'm playing the game Forager (version 1.0.3) on Steam. One of the Steam-achievements of this game is called Waterproof, supposedly earned by covering every water tile. So far, I've covered all(?) water tiles with landfill, buildings or bridges but didn't yet unlock that juicy cheevo. The Intern...

Sushi

Sushi (すし, 寿司, 鮨, pronounced [sɯꜜɕi] or [sɯɕiꜜ]) is a Japanese dish of prepared vinegared rice (鮨飯, sushi-meshi), usually with some sugar and salt, accompanying a variety of ingredients (ネタ, neta), such as seafood, vegetables, and occasionally tropical fruits. Styles of sushi and its presentation vary widely, but the one key ingredient is "sushi rice", also referred to as shari (しゃり), or sumeshi (酢飯). The term sushi is no longer used in its original context; it literally means "sour-tasting". Sushi is traditionally made with medium-grain white rice, though it can be prepared with brown rice or...

MBraedley

6:29 PM

@Moacir Wait, Monopoly? The board game with the largest popularity times badness area of all time?

Moacir

@MBraedley Yep. I personally disliked it but I am willing to give it another try

MBraedley

... there is no good reason to do that, even if you play by the original rules.

Moacir

@MBraedley SO likes it, SO's sister likes it, and I like playing games with them, so..

MBraedley

@Moacir No good reason, I say

Moacir

@MBraedley The damage has already been done, I just need to wait it to be delivered

MBraedley

Get them hooked on Catan or something

Moacir

I was considering Azul

But I am not exactly sure how easy it is to tally the points

MBraedley

Also a good choice, although I haven't played it more than twice (if at all)

Moacir
