@StrixVaria Juan, badp, Oak, and I handle a ton of flags each. I'm always around so as to be pingable, although I don't typically just hang out and chat so much anymore. I've also been busy this past week on a seekrit project (that isn't so secret) which will be revealed tomorrow.

I think Raven just started a new job recently, so he's around a bit less. I see Mana periodically, though.

Q: In The Oregon Trail on Apple II / Mac, what is clothing for?

The last version of The Oregon Trail I played had the farmer as the biggest multiplier (pre-teacher) and had graphical hunting. This was on the Apple II. Except for the ability to trade (and particularly to the Indian river guides) does clothing serve any particular purpose?

One day, there will be no Rebecca Black links on Friday. You'll wait all day, and they won't come.

@Sterno No, we'll feel relieved that you've finally grown up and don't need to troll anymore. :P

user15026

@SaintWacko See, I wasn't that smart.

Sterno

@fbueckert Let's be honest here. It'll be because I forgot, not because I grew up!

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn Well, the only reason I saw them was because I was scrolling up and reading backwards, essentially

fbueckert

@Sterno And here, I thought thinking the best of you was the right way to go.

I guess I'm going to have to settle for sad disappointment.

fbueckert

@badp I code every day, and I don't know what those are.

SaintWacko

@badp I've been reviewing bogosort and quines

badp

@fbueckert random buzzwords, the first doesn't exist, the third's about physics, the second actually is a thing I guess

SaintWacko

16:56

@badp You probably meant bogosort in place of pogosort

badp

@SaintWacko but pogosort is more plasticy!

SaintWacko

Sterno

I miss the good old days when you just needed to know the difference between ++count and count++

badp

@Sterno in C or C++?

Sterno

I don't think they operate differently between the two.

badp

16:58

C++ iterators kind of do

++iterator just advances the iterator and gives it back to you while iterator++ gives you a copy then advances itself. Or something.

Sterno

I meant I think both languages handle them the same

same as C#

badp

C doesn't have iterators

user15026

@fbueckert grounding? I can help with that, being a blue and all ;)

Sterno

It's not an iterator. It's an increment operator.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn And the corruption begins. :P

SaintWacko

17:01

@fbueckert My thoughts exactly :D

badp

@Sterno yeah, operator overloading, you know what, nevermind

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn is going to become the Bridge dictator

Anyone have a pillow they think is absolutely awesome?

I need to buy some new ones.

@Sterno Feather pillows.

@fbueckert Any in particular? I've tried a few and had mixed results. Really hate the ones that fall apart on you and constantly poke you in the cheek with feathers

@SaintWacko Good luck!

fbueckert

@Sterno Haven't the foggiest; I haven't had one for awhile, but growing up, I had one that lasted forever.

Sterno

My favorite pillow is one that came from a military hospital surplus during the Vietnam war. Unfortunately, those don't seem incredibly common. But it's a feather pillow with like a hard canvas on the outside

There was a really sweet free website that allowed me to create a tournament with brackets of a few types. I can't remember it now. Can anyone recommend a good bracket/ladder creation site?

Ooh, apparently feather pillows used to be made with ticking. Now I just need to track down someone still making feather pillows with it.

You'd lose feathers here and there, but it's nothing major.

@fbueckert I really really really wanted to play D3 but I decided not to because of the various online only stuff and such. It was a very difficult decision to hold to though.

@FAE did you try the beta that weekend?

@FAE and one of the reasons I respect you.

@FAE With Prison Architect alpha out, I'm fulfilling my logistical needs.

badp

17:47

well, really, that saturday afternoon

it was pretty much continuously down at other times

FAE

@badp No, because I'd already been in the closed beta and I had no desire to subject myself to the network load frustrations for a game I wasn't even going to purchase.

@fbueckert How is that anyway? I've heard interesting things. What type of genre is it exactly?

fbueckert

@FAE Think Dwarf Fortress, only with prisoners.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert ASCII?

FAE

@fbueckert Comparable learning curve or is it more forgiving?

fbueckert

@Wipqozn With graphics.

FAE

17:48

Though I admittedly haven't played DF in a very long time.

fbueckert

@FAE It's an alpha. It's more forgiving because all the murder functions haven't been implemented yet.

Wipqozn

@FAE I don't think it's possible for a game to be any less forgiving than DF.

fbueckert

That said, it's still crazy easy to have your prison descend into anarchy and murder at the drop of a hat.

FAE

I've been itching for a new god sim lately. Might have to break out my old Dungeon Keeper 2 CD just for nostalgia's sake.

@fbueckert Interesting. I heard something about the fact that the price is going to drop when it gets further along in development, is that true?

@fbueckert I've not dressed fancily in quite a long time.

@FAE So go do that this weekend!

FAE

@fbueckert Haha, I don't think I even have the clothes to dress fancily right now. Also I'd rather spend €100 on games or something than a fancy dinner. <_< Priorities and all. >_>

StrixVaria

18:08

@Alok There was nonstop backlash and I think their sales started to go down.

@fbueckert Probably encouraged it; I've read quite a few comments from legit users who ended up pirating so they could actually play >_<

I was supposed to do some SEO for the travesty of our website, since we wanted to bring in more business.

So, I ask them what keywords they want to focus on, to help bring up in the search rankings.

I get back a solid two page list of anything and everything under the sun that might even be remotely construed as what we do.

Among it, were our main competitor's names.

When I asked them why we were adding our competition to our SEO, their logic was, "We want our name to come up when someone searches for our competition and piggyback off of their SEO."

I had to tell them that doing something like that is generally frowned upon, since it wasn't a true representation of what we did.

FAE

@fbueckert ...

You have way more of these stories than is healthy.

@RavenDreamer I think it's in November sometime.

At which point I'll happily vote to reopen it.

Afterlight is the last one, and is what got me started on the series in the first place.

@RavenDreamer No, I meant Afterlight to Aftermath

Raven Dreamer

I've played XCOM (a bit) and UFO: Extraterrestrials

fbueckert

It's quite good; much friendlier than X-COM ever was.

Raven Dreamer

I also tried to play XCOM Interceptor

But no one on the internet liked the game enough to write about the controls, and the lack of a manual made things awkward.

By which I mean, I had no idea which buttons did what.

Though keep in mind, it's meant to be Real Time (not turn based) and you have a finite number of d00ds to keep alive.

fbueckert

@RavenDreamer Afterlight? You get more as time goes on.

I never had a problem once I maxed out my squad of keeping it there.

Raven Dreamer

18:43

Yeah, but you can still lose all your guys

You don't get replacements.

fbueckert

Actually, that's how all of the After* games work; you get members as time goes on. You can't hire them at the drop of a hat.

@RavenDreamer True, that.

Raven Dreamer

Though it is a lot easier to recover mostly dead guys from the battle.

X-COM if your guy went down, 90% chance he was dead.

Afterlight, you got them back if you won the mission fast enough

But @$*# poison.

Seriously.

fbueckert

@RavenDreamer Indeed. I've done that several times already, and I just started playing again yesterday.

@RavenDreamer I think I had a dedicated healer who's only job was to keep everybody else up.

And a drone who had four rocket launchers mounted on it's frame. That was fun.
