According to the many posts that just popped up on my Twitter TL

Moacir

@Chippies I used my 3

Chippies

@TimStone there's a new Watch Dogs game?

Unionhawk

@TimStone my lawyer has advised me not to comment on this

Chippies

@Moacir I don't have enough opinion on the rest of the nominees :)

@Chippies Ubisoft's E3 presentation

Unionhawk

hey fix oneboxes this is important

Chippies

@TimStone ah, right, new game announcements

is E3 still going?

waiting for it to be over, so I can find all the good info on youtube homepage

Moacir

I like how google thinks e3 starts at 11/06

SaintWacko

@Moacir When does it actually start?

Unionhawk

e3 isn't real

is my take

Moacir

20:18

@SaintWacko I think it already has, right? Xbox was yesterday

SaintWacko

@Moacir E3 itself thinks it starts on the 11th

Unionhawk

> Dates: Tue, Jun 11, 2019 – Thu, Jun 13, 2019

what ok

Moacir

E3 is gaming reveal time. Prove me wrong

Xbox revealed games yesterday, so it started yesterday

Even cyberpunk got revealed yesterday

SaintWacko

...Sure

Kevin

Well the release date for it =p

Wrigglenite

20:20

That's what most people care about, the reveals

Tim Stone

> Grandad is using crypto to buy a new kidney on the blackmarket

Moacir

Also, I am torn between pre-ordering cyberpunk and waiting for it to at least reveal the min spec

Tim Stone

(this is what Brexiters want)

Chippies

I thought E3 literally was about the game reveals? Is that not what E3 is?

Unionhawk

I think polygon is drinking gaming this by the way twitch.tv/polygon

Q: How to Restore Music to Old PC CD-ROM Game?

I have two different digital downloads of the same game, 2000's Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers, and I managed to get both of them working but only one of them has music. However, the version that doesn't have music, but does have sound, functions better and I'm using that one. Is there any way to ge...

Unionhawk

also it's black mirror too

because it is british

Moacir

I wonder if Cyberpunk will have any more "release info"

Unionhawk

wh...at

Yuuki

20:28

@Moacir What is your reason for pre-ordering?

Tim Stone

🤷‍♂️

Chippies

@Moacir min specs don't mean much, unless it's locking you out of even trying if you don't meet the specs

Tim Stone

No one:
Ubisoft: What if Jack ran a game studio for some reason?

Unionhawk

what the fuck is happening

Yuuki

Is there something you want from pre-ordering that you can't get from buying on release?

Moacir

20:29

@Yuuki Mostly I do not believe Cyberpunk will be a bad game and I have good experiencies in the past with CD Projekt Red

Yuuki

That's not a reason to pre-order though.

Moacir

So I will possibly get it anyway, even if I need to get a new pc

Yuuki

So get it on release.

Moacir

Wait

Chippies

@Moacir do you get a better deal by pre-ordering? any pre-order bonuses?

Moacir

20:30

@Chippies I thought I saw something in those lines

But as @Yuuki mentioned I think there is actually no reason to preorder

Chippies

if no, why pre-order? if yes, that's a shitty thing to do and you shouldn't support it, but it's hypocritical of me to say that, so order it :P

but I'm sure you can wait until like, 2 days before release and still get the same bonuses, usually

Gigazelle

personally not a huge fan of pre-ordering anything

Yuuki

A game possibly being bad is a reason to avoid pre-ordering but a game definitely being good is not a reason to pre-order these days.

Gigazelle

unless its a game that I have been drooling to get, and it comes with pre-order bonuses

Chippies

pre-ordering makes sense to me only if I want to play on launch, then I might pre-order a few days early

Gigazelle

20:32

but given that criteria, i've never had a game cool enough for me to actually pre-order it

Wrigglenite

I pre-order games the day before launch if I've watched reviews and there's a discount for pre-ordering

Chippies

for most games, I rather just wait for at least some reviews

or sales

Yuuki

A game definitely being good used to be a reason to pre-order back when games had physical releases and the store running out of supply was an actual concern.

Chippies

on PC, there's often pre-order discounts, which is another reason to pre-order

Gigazelle

if i'm planning on getting it regardless of reviews and its at a discount then yeah i'd probably pre-order it.

Yuuki

20:33

But these days with digital releases, a limited supply isn't enough of a concern that you should pre-order.

Chippies

I wouldn't pre-order anything this early

Gigazelle

if its not at a discount and/or there's no exclusive rewards, why risk putting yourself out that cash

though i did back dungeon defenders awakened which won't be out for another 4 months... does that count as a pre-order?

Yuuki

About the only thing I actually pre-order this far out these days is actual physical stuff. Which for gaming is inevitably Nintendo stuff.

Gigazelle

who here is stoked for cadence of hyrule

Unionhawk

oh no

is this a punisher video game

Gigazelle

20:35

yes

Unionhawk

oh no

not like this dude

Chippies

@Unionhawk don't think so?

Gigazelle

but ive already dumped hundreds of hours into crypt of the necrodancer

so i'll (hopefully) be able to beat it no sweat

Unionhawk

@Chippies oh, no, it's just same mocap and voice actor

phew

it's ghost recon

Chippies

yeah, the character seems nothing like The Punisher

Unionhawk

20:37

listen, I don't know anything about the character other than he's that guy

Chippies

I mean, I watched Daredevil first two seasons, so I'm like, an expert on the Punisher

Tim Stone

Look they brought a whole dog

Chippies

@TimStone better than half a dog

Yuuki

@Unionhawk i mean, the division is basically the punisher but an army and it's government

Unionhawk

Honestly the polygon stream is very good

Since they are also adjudicating drinking game rules and have animations for the various categories

Watching for classic meaningless E3 bullshit

Tim Stone

20:41

Bring back Splinter Cell you cowards

Wipqozn

@Chippies or a hot dog

Chippies

@Wipqozn I like hot dogs

Wipqozn

@TimStone Ideally one that's actually focused on stealth

Moacir

@Wipqozn Pstt.., check the election chat

Wipqozn

Also, everyone, the voting has started so please all remember to do your part to ensure the year of Wipqozn never ends.

Chippies

20:43

@Moacir I agree with your voting choice

Moacir

@Chippies I told you I had to use the 3 votes

SaintWacko

@TimStone Yesss

Chippies

@Wipqozn isn't it counterproductive to notify people about voting, if you want the year of Wipqozn to never end?

Moacir

@Chippies The sooner mods get elected, the earlier @Wipqozn can drive them away

Tim Stone

I don't know what that was

That was one of the Polygon things wasn't it @Unionhawk

Chippies

20:45

@Moacir the less mods get elected, the fewer of them @Wipqozn has to drive away ;)

Yuuki

@Chippies So we should elect more mods, thus @Wipqozn has to spend more on gasoline money.

Frank

@Wipqozn I think the first thing new mods have to do is ensure the year of Wipqozn ends.

Wipqozn

@Yuuki Thus killing the earth

Chippies

@Yuuki I want to say something, but that would mean I'm acknowledging your pun, which I refuse to

Wipqozn

Hey @TimStone, here's you're new splinter cell game! This is what you meant, right?

Tim Stone

20:47

lol

Yuuki

@Wipqozn Collateral damage.

Tim Stone

tfw you've danced for 10 years nonstop

lmao

Wipqozn

@TimStone Sounds like a good idea for a speed spinoff

IF YOU DANCE SLOWER THAN 20KM/HR YOUR LEGS WILL EXPLOOOOOODE

Moacir

@Wipqozn wha..

Wipqozn

Wtf is even happening

Chippies

20:49

@Wipqozn if you dance faster than 20km/h your legs will explode anyway, so you can't win

Tim Stone

@Wipqozn They're Just Dancing

Wipqozn

I don't understand the kids of today

@TimStone That'll be your kids one day

Chippies

I heard the beeping on the stream and had to look towards kitchen wondering if I was microwaving something

Tim Stone

Chippies

woah, I just found out that the emoji thing in chrome is actually a windows thing? 🤔

Wipqozn

20:55

@Chippies I assumed it was a trauma centre sequel

No Tim Clancy. Sorry @TomStone.

Chippies

@Wipqozn I was gonna point out the missed opportunity, but modabuse solves it all

Wrigglenite

One meta question posted, the other will have to wait until tomorrow

Tim Stone

Division 2 free to play from the 13th to the 16th, apparently

The Division movie, on Netflix, k

UPlay+ which seems like a super odd thing to do while also having that Epic Store deal?

And it will be available on Stadia, which I guess was expected

Crowd goes wild for something tangible

SaintWacko

@TimStone Ah, is that that new game from that indie dev?

Tim Stone

The Roller Champion thing

Dragonrage

21:10

@Wrigglenite ill try and read through it when i have a few moments free

Tim Stone

Prealpha version available today until the 14th for free on UPlay

Private Pansy

@TimStone Is that a thing?

Tim Stone

Yep 🤷‍♂️

With Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhaal

Private Pansy

Feels like the same exec who thought funding Ingress: The Animation was a good idea

@TimStone ... I have more questions now

Tim Stone

Man y'all aren't even going to tease me a little with the next Assassin's Creed? Prepped my veins for nothing, smh

Private Pansy

21:18

Is it possible that they're running out of history?

Unionhawk

@TimStone what, some graphic that said like "vague rambling" or "numbers" or something?

Tim Stone

@PrivatePansy Only if my wallet runs out of money

@Unionhawk It was an aside about something surprises coming and it flashed an image and I don't know what it was and he didn't explain anything about it

"Let's talk about Elite Squad so people don't forget we showed it"

Dragonrage

@PrivatePansy i mean, they set an origin point in ancient Egypt, so they kind of limited how far back they can go

Private Pansy

@Dragonrage Ah, no stabbing mammoths then?

user15026

A missed opportunity, that

Chippies

21:27

@Dragonrage it kinda crossed over into Final Fantasy there though, so there are no limits

Dragonrage

@PrivatePansy not unless they add in backstory for the [redacted]

Tim Stone

I think the rumour is that the next game is vikings, but idk

Not sure how that would make sense but I didn't understand how Odyssey came before/related to Origins before they did it, so

Private Pansy

To be fair when had Ubisoft ever let canon and/or actual history get in the way of a good stabbing?

Dragonrage

@TimStone didnt odyssey come after Origins in relative history? Greece came after Egypt iirc

Wipqozn

Sometimes I forget just how awesome Nova Scotia is.

I was strolling through old pictures, and came across this:

Dragonrage

21:36

they just arent releasing things in anything close to chronological order

Wipqozn

Dragonrage

@Wipqozn why are you out of your pond, turtle?

Wipqozn

This is from a trail barely 15 minutes outside the Capital City of the province.

Tim Stone

@Dragonrage Nope, Origins is like 400 years after Odyssey

Private Pansy

@Dragonrage *tortoise

Wipqozn

21:38

That's just awesome. My office is literally right next to a trail which is used to be a rail system, but which has since been converted to a multi-use trail which goes around the entire province.

Q: What is the difference between a trivia question and an identification or recommendation question? And should they be allowed?

Today, two questions were asked: What was the first console or handheld to have a user interface outside of games? What is the origin of the standard color coding scheme for item rarity? Very quickly, a discussion started in chat regarding the on-topicness of questions about historical trivia...

Q: What's the format for creeper.png?

I'm making a Minecraft texture pack (Minebit), and I'm working on the creeper. But the only the head seems right, but everything else is weird. Here's creeper.png (you might have to zoom in): Can anyone help, at least with the format of the creeper texture?

Dragonrage

@TimStone weird. i havent finished Origins yet, so i didnt realize

Chippies

any experienced reddit users know how to change the default homepage sorting on PC to sort by new?

Private Pansy

21:52

@Chippies If it doesn't remember the last thing you chose and it's not in reddit.com/prefs then it probably isn't configrable. You can bookmark reddit.com/new though

Chippies

the only option in Prefs I have found is "Community content sort
Choose how you would like content organized in communities you visit. This will not affect global feeds such as Home, or Popular."

I can't find anything for Home, which is kinda stupid

Private Pansy

Right, but there is a unique URL for it

Chippies

I can set it to sort by new on the phone app just fine

Private Pansy

See if you can train your browser to always take you there instead

Chippies

@PrivatePansy yeah... I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that, especially since I tend to go back to home by clicking on the reddit logo

guess I'll have to figure something out

Private Pansy

21:54

Ah, yeah, only way to fix that would be to script it. Maybe RES has an option

Chippies

anything that requires multiple clicks means I may as well just manually re-sort it every time

@PrivatePansy RES?

mobile app is way better than what's on desktop...

I still refuse to acknowledge that new reddit exists.

@Chippies official or rif/boost/etc?

Chippies

@Ave official, haven't tried others

the option to switch users with a dropdown menu is so good

would be nice if desktop had that

oh, apparently RES has that funcionality
