20:00

Superbrothers is also in the HIB, btw

GnomeSlice

@badp I'm guessing that's where she got it.

Invader Skoodge

I don't know anything about any of these games except Eufloria.

user15026

@fbueckert Ah, then I likely wouldn't appreciate it so much.

GnomeSlice

@InvaderSkoodge Machinarium is worth the entire bundle on its own, it's fantastic.

badp

@InvaderSkoodge Not even Crayon Physics?

Invader Skoodge

20:00

Oh yeah maybe Crayon Physics. I saw like 30 seconds of gameplay on that once.

GnomeSlice

@InvaderSkoodge It's fun, for what it is.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn I didn't either, at first. I like the sweet stuff.

OrigamiRobot

@InvaderSkoodge I have a PSX copy. Never even played it.

fbueckert

But, when you're thirsty, it's surprisingly appropriate.

user15026

@fbueckert Yeah, that is definitely me as well

badp

20:02

I don't really care for wine color, but if it's too bubbly I statistically despise it

JohnoBoy

@GnomeSlice Yep. Worked :) Will download it on my Mac later. I was thinking of getting it for the Vita but been holding up. Guess I'll play it on the comp

user15026

....I just made a reference to the Wake, Watch, Wonder books in class, and people actually got it. :D

GnomeSlice

I want to try Splice too, but I don't have any money right now.

66 cents.

Invader Skoodge

Machinarium looks like the absolute opposite of most everything I like in a game.

Splice looked neat but I'm not paying real money for it.

badp

@GnomeSlice Spare 1 cent for the HIB then?

GnomeSlice

20:06

New Indie Royale Bundle features Pineapple Smash Crew, so you all need to buy it now.

@badp I'll just lose them without Steam keys.

Invader Skoodge

Ahhhh autoplay videos on RDP.

GnomeSlice

Also, Spirits looks really neat.

badp

@GnomeSlice You should be able to upgrade your bundle to be eligible for Steam keys by increasing your amount at a later time

I mean, it works with over-the-average games...

Check with support or the FAQ

don't tell me what to do

fbueckert

Next mobile game that gets bought is Star Command.

Assuming it comes out this month, anyways.

Mad Scientist

20:07

Why Steam keys for Android games?

user15026

@fbueckert I was just going to say, if it ever comes out

user15026

@MadScientist Because you get the PC etc versions as well.

badp

@MadScientist It's funny I now own so many games for Android without actually having an Android phone

GnomeSlice

@FAE I don't want your copy of Superbrothers any more. =]

Mad Scientist

I entirely missed that they are also available for other platforms, I'm still waiting for Splice to finish downloading onto my phone

GnomeSlice

20:11

Seriously though

New Indie Royale Bundle features The Avernum Trilogy and Pineapple Smash Crew.

PSC is SO AWESOME

Mad Scientist

And some games (especially something like World of Goo) feels a bit awkward on a phone as you don't have enough space. But I'll get a Nexus 10 when they're out, so that'll be better then

user15026

flail I really want to have crazy discussions about neuroplasticity with people now.

GnomeSlice

@MadScientist What type of mobile device do you have? Android? iOS?

Lazers

Q: Isn't putting every cell in its outline sufficient?

This is strand 305. I moved the "push" cell to be a child of the "split" cell, used the split cell and moved the second "push" cell in position. That uses up all my moves and every cell is in its white outline. Why doesn't the game accept this solution?

Q: Error while joining multiplayer game

I cannot go into multiplayer mode in Crysis 2! I recently bought Crysis 2 Maximum Edition on Steam. I also registered at Mycrisis. But I cannot get into the multiplayer mode. I always get an error message to check my internet connection, while everything is fine with my internet connection. Can...

crysis-2

FAE

@InvaderSkoodge I enjoyed Eufloria well enough. I'd been following it since when it was still called Dyson.

GnomeSlice

20:13

Also, if you bought the @indieroyale Alpha collection, go grab your Towns Steam key.

@GnomeSlice Samsung Galaxy S (the first one), Android phone

GnomeSlice

Cool!

@MadScientist You should check out Arel Wars

James

@AshleyNunn The game Moos when you put it into the 3DS.. that alone makes it worth it :D

user15026

@James AUGH

user15026

My gaming budget is so stretched

user15026

20:14

BUT YOU ARE MAKING IT SOUND MORE AND MORE FANTASTIC

FAE

@agent86 Can you hop on Steam and I'll message you the key?

James

@AshleyNunn LoL I only put it into the 3DS so far! Ill give it some play later on today when I get time and let ya know how it goes

Invader Skoodge

@FAE It was too slow for me, and the strategy wasn't deep enough.

agent86

@FAE hmm, not sure if I can from work

user15026

@James Please do, then I know if I have to save money for it XD

FAE

20:15

@InvaderSkoodge I believe they made an update that lets you speed it up.

Invader Skoodge

Is towns actually any good?

I still haven't watched any gameplay of it. Let me fix that.

James

@InvaderSkoodge Ya know.. People keep telling me its better than it was, but not a single person has said its actually a good game yet.

OrigamiRobot

@InvaderSkoodge I only know it is something called Towns

FAE

@agent86 Shall send! I was just in the middle of checking your blog to see if you had a contact email there, haha.

James

And I do not think anyone has yet answered my towns question on here.. Which also does not give me hope for its improvement :D

agent86

20:18

@FAE there's probably also some sort of twitter way of doing things, although I'm not a twitter-expert or anything...

FAE

@agent86 Oh yeah, they have DMs, I forget. I don't really use twitter at all, I just follow people and read stuff.

agent86

@FAE yeah, beats me how you use it properly. I just put stuff in the little box and then it shows up in other people's little boxes, and then I guess that's good?

anything more advanced than that and I just sort of ignore it

badp

@FAE Twitter's a soapbox where everybody gets to speak for 10 seconds at a time. Sometimes you just gotta yell :P

agent86

@FAE got your email, most appreciated :)

user15026

@badp That makes me think of this

FAE

20:21

@agent86 Have fun!

user15026

@James Just saw this. I have a jealous.

FAE

@badp One of my friends tried to sell me on Twitter as being public, distributed conversation, but I don't want my conversations being public or distributed really, so I have little interest.

badp

@FAE Nah, conversation's not quite the whole point of twitter. At least not for me

user15026

@FAE I hate when people have long conversations over Twitter. Haaaate

badp

For me it's a soapbox you can step on when you need to yell, plus a selection of people whose yelling is more interesting than not

Ullallulloo

20:23

@FAE It's a good thing you're here then.

FAE

@badp Haha, yeah, that's a decent way to put it.

@Ullallulloo Yes yes, I know this is entirely google indexed, but between the options of not hanging out here at all and hanging out here and dealing with the indexing, I choose the latter.

GnomeSlice

@badp So is Crackdown

But it's much more satisfying.

FAE

And there's a lot that I don't share here, so.

badp

@FAE <3

Arda Xi

@badp That's pretty much how I use Twitter. And, I revel in the fact that lots of people like to read my ramblings.

FAE

20:26

@badp ^_^ <3

user15026

@badp That's what I do. The fact that anyone reads anything I post is a source of constant unbridled amazement for me

Arda Xi

@AshleyNunn That's a more eloquent way to put it.

user15026

@ArdaXi YAY ELOQUENCE

Arda Xi

I love that word.

I use it whenever I can.

badp

The conversation side of Twitter is mostly tacked on. Proper support for conversation just isn't there

FAE

20:27

One of my exes is pretty active in front-end web development and occasionally is retweeted by Stack Exchange people and it weirds me out sometimes a little.

Arda Xi

@badp How'd you mean? Replies track. What else do you need?

badp

Most tweets don't get replies. Most replies don't get replies.

@ArdaXi Yeah, how many years did that take?

Arda Xi

@badp Err, it was there in 2007 I'm sure.

That's when I started using Twitter, don't know about earlier.

badp

@ArdaXi I don't quite recall that

FAE

@agent86 Incidentally, can you do me a favor and edit my pinned message to remove Superbrothers from it?

badp

20:28

Until recently it was hard to go from a tweet to its conversation without third party clients

both backwards and forwards

Arda Xi

@badp Twitter has always supported backwards. Forwards, and proper conversation support was introduced with the new Twitter.com interface.

James

@AshleyNunn I get the same kind of amazement at my youtube channel.. no idea why people watch it.. As it stands I have not posted a new video in around 2 weeks but I am still creeping up to 200,000 views.

user15026

@James THe fact that people read my adventure blog just baffles my brain utterly and completely

GnomeSlice

I keep thinking Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is an album...

Arda Xi

@AshleyNunn Does this happen to all content creators?

(I should create content again.)

FAE

20:32

@GnomeSlice Jim Guthrie did the soundtrack!

user15026

@ArdaXi Perhaps. I suspect it does, more than most people admit.

user15026

@FAE Ooh, extra incentive to play it :D

GnomeSlice

@FAE I feel like I should know who that is.

FAE

@GnomeSlice I am surprised you do not

GnomeSlice

I think I might already have the soundtrack. Was it ever in one of the game music bundles?

@FAE I might, the name sounds familiar.

Pretty sure I've listened to some of his music before, but I don't remember what it was.

@FAE Ah, yep, I have the S&S soundtrack.

user2334

20:36

This machine kills fascists

GnomeSlice

Got it in a GameMusicBundle.

user2334

Wait, wrong Guthrie

Arda Xi

My timing is bad and I should feel bad. =[

JohnoBoy

Anyone heard of "Activate". Activision's new social-esque service?

GnomeSlice

Wrong Guthrie Again

@JohnoBoy I'm sure it will disappear.

JohnoBoy

20:38

I tried signing up, it said my email address contained profanity

GnomeSlice

Argh, why did Openfeint change to GREE!?

@JohnoBoy Lmfao

JohnoBoy

now I'm not a native English speaker

user2334

@JohnoBoy Probably shouldn't have signed up with [email protected]

JohnoBoy

can anyone find the profanity in johnoboy (at) gmail ?

user2334

@JohnoBoy "nob" most likely.

user2334

20:39

A euphemism for penis

JohnoBoy

@MarkTrapp Isn't everything by now a euphemism for penis?

GnomeSlice

Aw man, Openfeint sold themselves to GREE.

148apps.com/news/breaking-openfeint-acquired

JohnoBoy

Openfeint was basically made obsolete on iOS when game center came out

user2334

@JohnoBoy one of the reasons why profanity filters are bad

Mad Scientist

@JohnoBoy I think it is trying to tell you that the service likely sucks anyway, so you don't need to sign up in the first place

user15026

20:41

@MadScientist That strikes me as a valid conclusion

user2334

@MadScientist Clbuttic advice

JohnoBoy

johno.boy is apparently profanity free

yay

user15026

@JohnoBoy muppetflail YAY

Mad Scientist

@MarkTrapp I'm a little bit curious if this filter makes the clbuttic mistake, it wouldn't surprise me much

JohnoBoy

@AshleyNunn Now I have't to Google "muppetflail". I think I know the general meaning, but I must be sure!

Do you think there's a rule 34 for muppetflail?

user2334

20:45

Comms Room is sassing

FAE

@JohnoBoy You just willed it into existence.

JohnoBoy

@FAE Should've kept my mouth shut

user15026

@JohnoBoy AUGH

JohnoBoy

@MarkTrapp Goddamnit, reading a Jeff Attwood post leaves with 17 extra tabs in the end of extra pages he linked to with enticing words

agent86

@FAE done, apologies, stepped away from my desk.

user15026

20:53

user15026

@JohnoBoy ^^^ Muppetflail

James

30min spent trying to figure out a connection issue with our SVN repository just to finally give up and send out an email to all the devs to get the response of: Oh, when the power went out the repo server has not come back online yet and is being worked on.. BLARG!

JohnoBoy

@AshleyNunn Thanks for that :)

user15026

@JohnoBoy You're welcome. Better than accidentally rule34-ing yourelf

JohnoBoy

@James A few years ago a user of a project I worked for called for tech support saying their local server isn't responding. A couple of calls later, turns out the server was down. Literally down. Someone cleaned around the server room and tipped it on its side.

user15026

20:57

@JohnoBoy O.o

James

@JohnoBoy LoL

Arda Xi

@JohnoBoy Am I a bad person for laughing out loud at this?

James

I officially hate SVN now that I am used to Git.. this is painful

Arda Xi

@James Git-svn!

JohnoBoy

@ArdaXi Not at all. You wouldn't be the first to laugh at that situation :)

FAE

20:58

@agent86 No problem and thanks much!

James

@ArdaXi Yeah I tried that and got it approved and everything so I could use Git on top of SVN and just push/pull when complete tasks were done

GnomeSlice

@JohnoBoy Ah, I'm not the only one. =]

Arda Xi

@James Well then. That should fix your issues.

James

But the SVN repo fails to check out into the git repo after 2-3 hours of working

Arda Xi

And yes, git is awesome.

SVN is horrid.

James

20:59

Which means even if we just wanted to swap to git there is going to be an issue
