Fastest self-delete ever! >_>
 
Where what who how why?
 
@YiJiang I asked a question before Googling... Then I googled my question title, and the answer was the top hit. <_< So... It was a poorly researched question.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Oh man, at least you caught it on your own

A: Black Mesa achievements

edemRun the program and check it out.

thud thud thud
Just because the question sucks doesn't mean you put a stupid answer.
 
@fbueckert YES! The downvote I needed to get that pesky 1 off of the end of my rep total!
 
user15026
12:07 AM
@Fluttershy Not a fan of ones?
 
@AshleyNunn Not at the end of my rep total. 9321... No...
 
user15026
....I just blogged about buying cereal, Can't tell if I am awesome or in need of help.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy But the 321 bit is nice :)
 
@Fluttershy I like nice, even, numbers myself.
 
@fbueckert Multiples of five. That's all I ask...
 
user15026
12:09 AM
I need 20 more rep to have a palindrome again :D
 
680 rep to 10k!
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Awesome :D
 
Math is hard...
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Agreed. (I tried to make my dinner total last night a nice even number...and apparently in my world, 1+6 = 10)
 
12:11 AM
Jet Set Radio is on Steeeeeeeeam!
 
user15026
@Fluttershy What's that?
 
@AshleyNunn The greatest Dreamcast game ever made.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy I know -nothing- about anything Dreamcast.
 
@Fluttershy WHAT.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Just looked it up. It looks AWESOME.
 
@GnomeSlice I already bought and installed it. lol
 
@Fluttershy I see that. "1 friend owns this game"
I've always wanted to try the Jet Set games...
 
@GnomeSlice Do you have a 360 controller for your PC?
 
@Fluttershy Sure do.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy That looks awesome. I am assuming it is better with a controller?
 
12:15 AM
Don't really want to spend $10 on it right now though, I have lots to play.
@Fluttershy Oh man, this looks awesome.
 
@AshleyNunn I highly doubt the controls would transfer well to mouse/keyboard.
@GnomeSlice It's one of the best Dreamcast games ever! =D Not that it had much competition...
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Yeah, that's the impression I am getting from watching the video.
 
user15026
If I had more than 8 bucks in my spending money for this month, I would be all over it XD
 
@AshleyNunn I thought you didn't like games with tricky controls?
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice If I can use a 360 controller, I am usually better
 
user15026
12:18 AM
I am discovering it lets me play a lot more PC stuff than mouse/keyboard
 
user15026
That's how I handled Bastion.
 
@AshleyNunn By the way, you should play Tiny and Big
 
@GnomeSlice That game is awesome. =3
 
This needs one more dupe vote.
 
@AshleyNunn You can get it (along with 2 other games) for a minimum of $3.99 in the indiefort bundle
@Fluttershy Oh yes, it is.
 
user15026
12:19 AM
I lack funds for it at the moment but it looks awesome

A: Where can I find more Eridium?

joe joex3 borderlans logo gold weapon

Who the crap upvoted this?
 
@AshleyNunn It's cheap right now, in the indiefort bundle.
If you go that way, I'd also recommend Zombie Football carnage, Girl with a Heart Of, or Project Black Sun.
Also, Cardinal Quest
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Yeah, but I have like $8 to my name at the moment. XD
 
@AshleyNunn $3.99!
 
user15026
12:22 AM
@GnomeSlice I have that on my phone I believe!
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Yeah, it is tempting, but I have a thing or two I wanted to do this month that will already eat the 8 bucks plus more/
 
@Fluttershy They're working on the sequel!
I need to try my Air Bucanners alpha...
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice ....you are an evil tempting enabler.
 
That game looked too awesome to pass up.
@AshleyNunn Yesyesyes I am.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice So what other two should I pick? (Also I hope you are happy with yourself.)
 
12:24 AM
@AshleyNunn What sort of games do you like?
Girl with a Heart of got really good reviews, but I've not played it.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Cute ones, story ones, ones that have easy controls.
 
Project black sun is a metroid-esque game, but it's really, really hard.
 
@fbueckert What is this I don't even.
 
Zombie football carnage has the easiest controls ever, and it's got 'cute' graphics.
Will fight for food is pretty simple too.
 
@fbueckert I blame Wipqozn.
 
12:26 AM
Sentinel 3 is a tower defense game.
I've played Sentinel 2 and it was fabulous.
 
user15026
Influence looks interesting.
 
user15026
Know anything about it?
 
@AshleyNunn Oh! No, but I wish I'd picked that one as one of mine, it looks awesome.
I've heard good things about it, too.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I am going to do it, Tiny and Big, and Girl with a Heart of.
 
user15026
Although the title of the last one makes me nuts.
 
12:27 AM
@AshleyNunn Tiny and big is aweeeeesome.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I hope so :D
 
@AshleyNunn lolol me too
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice OF WHAT? A HEART OF WHAT? (I decided it is a heart of chocolate chip cookies and kittens.)
 
@AshleyNunn Works for me.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Glad we sorted that one out :D
 
12:30 AM
@Fluttershy I'm also downloading Vessel right now.
 
OH MY GOD THE BRIDGE FINALLY LOADED
Fuck this hotel internet. Fuck it so hard.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Welcome aboard, brother.
FEELS GOOD MAN
 
@GnomeSlice That game is amazing. You should play it as soon as it finishes.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice THE POOR KITTEN
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hurrah! Welcome!
 
12:31 AM
@AshleyNunn My minion looks terrifying these days.
I've bought too many games on GG!
 
So much for updating to iOS 6 tonight.
 
@Fluttershy I have so many games...
@Fluttershy Did you get Omegalodon in the groupees bab3?
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice The GG Void thing looks interesting.
 
That game is so awesome, and now that I finally own the full game... there's nobody playing it!
 
@GnomeSlice The... what?
 
12:33 AM
@AshleyNunn I kind of glazed over it, since it requires internet.
Omegalodon is AWESOME
 
@GnomeSlice I'll consider it. I still have plenty of time.
And a lot of games.
 
@Fluttershy Try the demo, it lets you play with everyone else, you just can't use the soldier class, or play as the monster.
@AshleyNunn Tiny and Big also supports an xbox controller!
@Fluttershy Did you ever find all of the tapes and boring stones?
I love the name of the soundtrack.
 
@GnomeSlice I haven't played it much past level 3.
 
@Fluttershy Oh, I finished it yesterday or the day before.
There's only like five levels.

Q: Is there a World completion chest?

JayI had heard murmurs of people saying there is a chest when you get 100% World completion. As I got the last vista before getting 100% World completion, I was disappointed to find that I didn't get a chest. Did my game bug out or is there not actually a chest for world completion?

Q: Reputation loss for downvoting an answer

Sadly NotI learned recently that downvoting no longer costs reputation. But I found this in my reputation count today after voting on this answer: -1 23:02 downvoted Where can I find more Eridium? So what's the deal? Has reputation loss for downvoting been reintroduced?

Yep.

@TimStone I can't even fathom what this would feel like.
 
Even with my connection the limiting factor is usually the other end.
So for the most part it's just cool numbers, I suppose.

@AshleyNunn badp might take the prize there, then
But I'm pretty sure he was pretty much right on top of the test server, heh.

Oh, and I guess that answers the question, there is indeed an A+

Spam?
He's got another answer with the same link.
So I'm inclined to flag both as spam.
 
user15026
@fbueckert It does feel fishy.
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah. He quotes stuff from existing answers, and adds his own stuff to the end of it.
 
@fbueckert Is the link relevant?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's a cheap blog with crappy info.
 
@fbueckert Oh yeah, it finally loaded, he's definitely engaged in SEO for his terrible link farm spam site.
 
user15026
3:20 AM
@fbueckert and spam links in the blog to teh Diablo version of those "watch this video and pay us money for OMG weight loss/money making secrets"
 
@AshleyNunn Firefox murdered those links as soon as I tried to open them.
 
@fbueckert Oh yeah, it finally loaded, he's definitely engaged in SEO for his terrible link farm spam site.

3:22 AM
> “We were actually contacted by some publishers over the last few months that wanted to use us to do a Kickstarter,” Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart revealed in a Q&A on the Project Eternity Kickstarter page. “I said to them ‘So, you want us to do a Kickstarter for, using our name, we then get the Kickstarter money to make the game, you then publish the game, but we then don’t get to keep the brand we make and we only get a portion of the profits.’ They said, ‘Yes’.”
Anybody wanna place bets on what publisher that was?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz General consensus seems to be EA.
Personally, I suspect it was Ubi.
 
@fbueckert Doesn't feel like EA's style.
I kinda want to say it feels like the sort of thing SEGA would do.
Especially because SEGA is the only pub that's worked with Obsidian on original IP to date.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It could be Capcom; they've been murdering their long running franchises for awhile now.
 
@fbueckert I think it's pretty clear from the quote that they were approached to kickstart an original IP, not a new installment of an existing one.

Q: How can I respec my badass rank bonus stats?

Jeff MercadoSo the bonus stats you get for your badass rank is shared and accumulated amongst all your characters.

3:27 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah; that's why I think it could be Capcom. They must be getting pretty desperate to find something new.
 
@fbueckert Capcom also hasn't really done RPG's since killing off Breath of Fire. (Oh god what I'd give for a real successor to Dragon Quarter.) Especially on the PC.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ditto
I wants me another Breath of Fire. It's what got me started on RPGs in the first place.
 
@fbueckert If it's like BoF 1-4, I could do without another BoF tbqh.
But oh god Dragon Quarter was so god damned creative and good.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I liked the SOL replay system; I don't think any game's ever duplicated that.
 
@fbueckert That was basically the least creative thing about BOF 5. (Well, that and the shoehorning in of random fairy girl and fairy town)
And it was still a pretty clever innovation.
 
3:32 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz So what did you like about it? The battle system? Story was absolutely excellent.
 
@fbueckert Oh, I liked the SOL system. The fact that I liked it the least is a compliment to everything else.
Primarily, what I liked was the resource constraint of the D Counter. The way the game made every step count, and every action require a fair amount of strategy. The inherent tension between being able to easily clear difficult fights and needing to hold back to survive to the end of the game.
 
user2334
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I wasn't a fan that the D-Counter threw a hard time limit into the game; even if you never used it, you could still lose the game.
 
@fbueckert The hard limit was exactly what I loved.
The tension that that constraint created was what made the game fun, challenging, and replayable.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It was only a constraint the first time around; once you beat it once, it ceased to be a problem.
 
3:37 AM
@fbueckert It ceased to be a problem in a New Game + you mean.
but new game + is an EZ Mode for completionists by it's very nature, and isn't really what I'm talking about when I mention replay value.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz The SOL system gave you incentive to replay it in New Game +, due to the added story.
 
@fbueckert Like I said. EZ Mode for completionists who care about the mediocre at best plot.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz More reason than most games give you to replay it.
 
@fbueckert My point is that the inherent fun and challenge of the gameplay is, at least for me, reason enough on it's own to replay it every few years.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Personally, I enjoyed the story immensely.
 
3:50 AM
@fbueckert It's a slightly above average hodgepodge of jrpg cliches.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I LIKE JRPG cliches.
 
It's not bad by any measure, but it's not winning any medals in my book.
@fbueckert I tolerate them at best. More typically, they make me want to smash things.

@PatrickStalder How is the mecha element in the game? Non-present or partially present to some interpretive degree?
 
@GraceNote Not having played the game, but looking at the screenshots I think it's mostly non-existent
 
My guess would be "There isn't any" but I was requested to ask this anyway
 
@GraceNote What is a mecha element? If you mean robots/lazers/pewpew then there is not so much. The Charr race has some siege machines but its not that spectacular.
 
1:16 PM
Mechanical components and aesthetic, no need for full-on automation or futurism
 
Good morning, Bridge.

I would suspect the cute female element is sufficient to attract hordes of horny little boys
 
@pixel I understand now the meaning of "cute". Yes there are "cute" female characters in the game.
 
Okay, in simple terms - I'm here on behalf of a crowd of men asking about sailor-suited mecha babes wielding world-cleaving daiklaves.
@PatrickStalder East Asian aesthetic to cute is probably what they're asking for here.
 
The first square is the best square.
 
GW2 human female model in somewhat sensible attire.
 
1:28 PM
Yay for mostly sensible attire~
 
That model's stuck pretty deep in the uncanny valley
 
She's actually showing quite a big of one of her legs & lace if you see the whole model and there are "armours" which an African bushman would consider rather skimpy, but in general it's rather on the "not too silly" side. With plenty of choice either way.
 
Is it the left leg that's showing mostly?
 
I think yes. I won't go image hunting right now to verify though.
 
A few years back, I noticed that in almost every case of asymmetric in leg covering (skirt, boot length, etc.), the right leg is always the one that has more covered.
This was a short case study but it was a very funky pattern to have seen.

Well, I do that too if I wear asymmetrical clothes. Right side is where I hide all the tools, cameras and so on under the coat or whatever it is flowing down there freely. Easier to grab with the right hand for me.
 
All of those characters were in fact right handed, and always led with their right foot in battle, too.
 
@MartinSojka That outfit always makes me think the player is a prostitute.
 
At least, the ones I can think of off-hand of the sample group, they were right handed and led with the right.
 
it would make sense to lead with the right foot if you're right handed
 
Since tall boots and long skirts were about the closest thing to protective garments on these characters, I jokingly concluded that this was for defensive purposes, y'know, same reason why you put a shield in front of you.

@GraceNote Apparently sheer willpower can shrug off and ignore wounds. I see no other reason why a chainmail bikini offers more protection than full plate armor.
 
@fbueckert More maneuverability
 
@Wipqozn Then wear lighter armor. Leaving exposed skin is just asking to get targeted.
 
@fbueckert But then it's harder to distract members of the opposite sex in battle!
 
@fbueckert To be fair, in these cases, they did wear tops. It's only their left legs that were mostly bare.
(Barring some measure of cleavage exposure, but surprisingly, no midriff)
 
1:46 PM
@Wipqozn While making it more likely that enemies of the same sex will target them, out of jealousy. So it all evens out.
 
Oh, where are Raven and FAE? I needed to show them images from an upcoming fighting game
@fbueckert Insert quip about the section of FFV where enemies only target women.
 
@GraceNote NEither are on Steam, so they probably got attacked by leprechauns or something.
 
@Wipqozn Why not just going all Pictish and Celtic on them, then?
 
I can't believe Sega actually released Jet Set Radio for the PC
 
@MartinSojka I'm not sure what that means, and I'm too lazy to Google, so I'm just going to smile and nod. tortoise smile tortoise nod

blatantly attempting to jeopardise my realm first level 90 feat of strength next week
 
@pixel I fail to see the problem with this.
 
I do, I booked time off work and everything
 
Nudity in combat is the practice of entering combat without the use of clothing and armor. It is rarely practiced, however; apart from the social aspects of nudity, the combatant lacks even the basic protection of clothes, for instance when diving for cover or crawling. Also the combatant misses the practicality of hiding/carrying objects in pockets and attached to clothes. The artistic convention of heroic nudity, however, was established in the art of ancient Greece by the Archaic period. History Celtic peoples Polybius' Histories describe how the Celts visually intimidated the Ro...
 
Yay, Marshal badge get!

Basically ... cover your body with ritualistic paintings for protection and to intimidate your enemies. Remember to scream loudly.
 
1:51 PM
@MartinSojka So....berzerkers, then?
 
@MartinSojka sounds like Friday night
 
@fbueckert Getting high beforehand is optional, I think. And so is the bear skin ( berserkr ).
 
getting high is never optional
 
@MartinSojka ah, do like the Greeks do or what not.
 
@Wipqozn Greeks were actually sensible and only did ritual combat nude (they called it the "Olympic Games").
 
1:56 PM
Did anyone watch The Event? And if so, did they ever tell you what the event was before it got cancelled? Because all I remember from the promos was "This is not the event!"
 
@fbueckert You can stop flagging now!
 
@fredley Indeed!
 
@fbueckert You should change your name to Marshal F*ckbert
Then walk around saying, "You called down the thunder? Well now you got it!"
