@badp Done. Just waiting on @RedRiderX to take his major action.

fbueckert

@SaintWacko Seen any support gems yet?

SaintWacko

@fbueckert Nope, nor any uniques :(

fbueckert

@SaintWacko You might like this one:

> Fork - Projectiles fork into two new projectiles as they hit their targets.

SaintWacko

@fbueckert That would be nice on my Ranger

Right now I'm having a lot more fun on my Shadow, though

fbueckert

> Faster Attacks - Increases the attack speed of physical skills.

SaintWacko

21:03

@fbueckert Now that would be nice

If I could boost the speed of double strike...

fbueckert

@SaintWacko I've got a Flicker Strike; apparently they're pretty popular.

SaintWacko

@fbueckert That's one of the skills I use the most

To take out magic users and necromancers past their posse of melee

@spugsley I would've loved tooooooo! The time between my flights was only 45 minutes though. :( As it is, I got there like just in time for boarding.

spugsley

@FAE ohh nooo :((((

fbueckert

And it'll be dead at the end of the turn.

spugsley

Will anyone think less of me if I shamelessly show off a new photo I'm really proud of??? ahem @Wipqozn in particular

Tim Stone

21:10

@FAE All the more @spugsley should have brought you dinner at the airport.

Mana

I will.

badp

@fbueckert Hence the quotes in "boss fight"

FAE

@spugsley The flight back to the NL was worse. We had to go from Toronto to Chicago and our flight kept getting more and more delayed and they ended up having to rebook us on a different flight so we'd get there in time and we got there just as boarding started, barely made it. There's only one flight a day to Amsterdam, so missing it would've sucked. :S

Wipqozn

@spugsley If anything I'd think more of you.

spugsley

@Mana Well then. My dick is on your list.

Now I have SO MANY!

agent86

@Wipqozn I read that wrong the first time. Lost an L in there...

badp

Must... resist... urge... to... backspace... abuse...

spugsley

when I bought them, a lady at Goodwill got REALLY snippy with me. She was like, "Mrah. Why do you need all those clocks?"

Mana

21:13

@spugsley you're missing out. I did the same thing

Wipqozn

@spugsley Should have told her they were for drugs.

Clock drugs.

FAE

@spugsley I like that muchly. I think I would've liked it a little better without the little thin branch going across your face, it disrupts the flow a little bit.

Wipqozn

whoa, @mana, I'm susprised that Wasn't @badp!

OrigamiRobot

@spugsley And one of them said "Works but 10 minutes slow"

agent86

@spugsley "I bought them specifically to irritate you. I thought to myself 'what would annoy the checkout lady at Goodwill? I know, if I buy a bunch of clocks.'"

spugsley

21:14

@FAE agree but I didn't notice until after

on the little camera screen it wasn't showing up

Wipqozn

@agent86 That sounds like something I would do.

FAE

@spugsley I really like the composition though.

Ben Brocka

spugsley

@FAE thank you :3 I'm very proud

Ben Brocka

sigh

badp

21:15

@Wipqozn Contrary to popular opinion I do not in fact have the monopoly on mod abuse

Wipqozn

I love clocks so much. When I get my own place, I'll probably have an analog clock in every room.

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka Wow, I still have this somewhere

Wipqozn

Some will have more than one!

Ben Brocka

Capcom said they can't release it on PSN either

spugsley

@Wipqozn please do it! I'm going to make some sort of wall art out of these.

Wipqozn

21:16

@badp True. @agent86 has always been Excellent at mod abuse.

fbueckert

I have two analog clocks in the house. Both came with it.

agent86

@Wipqozn you clock-sucker. you like the clocks. you like them in every room. you never saw a clock you didn't like.

@Wipqozn I took that as a perk when I rolled my arqade character. +10 to mod abuse.

fbueckert

@Lazers This is a bad question.

Fluttershy

Afternoon, Bridge.

Shouldn't that have been NC?

Wipqozn

21:19

@fbueckert It's barely a question for that matter. Maybe he'll be able to salvage it, but sounds like he's just looking for opiniosn... considering his complete lakc of detail it's hard to tell.

spugsley

@Fluttershy halllllo

fbueckert

@Wipqozn So let's close it until he clarifies.

Wipqozn

@agent86 Well that's just not true. There are plenty of clocks I don't like. I do have taste.

fbueckert

If he doesn't, boo hoo for him.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Already voted.

Fluttershy

21:19

@spugsley I like your picture. =3

Ullallulloo

@Wipqozn The original title said that he was level 41.

spugsley

@Fluttershy thank you! I am so proud!

Ullallulloo

It sounded like he was wondering what level you should start the DLC at.

fbueckert

@Ullallulloo Sort of a moot point if the DLC isn't even out.

Ktash

Hello all

fbueckert

21:21

He's not even saying WHAT DLC. I'm assuming the...Dragonborn one? The one not out for PS3 yet.

Ullallulloo

@fbueckert It's out on Xbox and PC though.

Ktash

Anyone know Component-Entity program design well enough to try and explain it?

Ullallulloo

@fbueckert None of them are out for PS3.

fbueckert

@Ullallulloo Then it's really a bad question, and we can direct him to what we have about the DLC.

spugsley

We are going to see Django tonight

Ullallulloo

21:22

@fbueckert I assume the DLC's the same as on the Xbox and PC though.

Wipqozn

@Ullallulloo When we need to debate what he's asking, it's NARQ. That's one f the reasons NARQ exists: to clarify ambiguous and vague questions to prevent people from posting answers to a different question.

Ullallulloo

Console doesn't really matter.

fbueckert

@Ullallulloo Almost guaranteed, indeed.

Ullallulloo

@Wipqozn Which is why I closed it.

fbueckert

I have won the final boss. But I didn't understand that it was the end of the game :D ... They should have made it impossible to win with this ship considering it is one of the first ship released — yes123 Dec 30 '12 at 20:17

Ooh, missed these support gems:

Item Quantity - Increases the number of items dropped by monsters killed with this skill.

Item Rarity - Increases the rarity of items dropped by monsters killed with this skill.

Perfect for farming.

Fluttershy

fbueckert

@Fluttershy I'm assuming the pony's name is Rarity?

Fluttershy

21:28

@fbueckert Yes.

If there was one named Quantity, I'd link it too. =P

fbueckert

@Fluttershy If there's one named Quantity, it would have murdered it's mother.

badp

@Ktash Hey. Ask away

Fluttershy

@spugsley I have heard nothing but good things about this movie.

spugsley

@Fluttershy same same

Ktash

@badp Mostly I'm just trying to wrap my head around it. I'm using a new game engine that uses entity-component for its code, but I'm used to straight class programming. My main question is, if I'm pulling out all of the functionality, what is left in the classes defining things like the player, or a specific menu?

badp

21:32

@Ktash ohhhh, uh okay. I thought you were talking about this:

or diagrams like this one.

Ktash

@badp Ah, no. I don't think that's what I'm looking for...

I'm just trying to switch from traditional class based structure of my program design to this new system

Game Development has a question on it, but I don't think I understand it well enough

Tim Stone

@Ktash I'm not positive that you have such classes, but rather collections of behaviours that identify as "a player" or "menu x". But I have zero experience here, so. :P

FAE

@TimStone You. Have you played Omega yet?

Tim Stone

@FAE I have not D:

FAE

@TimStone Okay, me neither. Was wondering if you had yet and what your assessment was.

Tim Stone

21:36

I'll probably make time for it soon. I was going to play it as soon as it came out, but then I distracted myself by starting to date someone.

FAE

@TimStone zomg, congrats!

Is she a gaming lady?

Ktash

@TimStone Yeah, that's what I'm kind of getting. But then I'm still trying to wrap my mind around what the role of entity is, and how I really farm out these behaviors in a generalized way

Tim Stone

@FAE Thanks! She is a bit, although maybe not to the extent I am (well, minus the lady part of course :P).

FAE

@TimStone Hey, you can be a lady too!

Tim Stone

@FAE Oh, and on an amusing Stack Exchange-related note:

in Tavern on the Meta on Meta Stack Overflow Chat, Jan 23 at 1:20, by Tim Stone

So my girlfriend told me she was talking to a friend the other day and she mentioned my use of Stack Overflow, and the friend said "Wait, what did you say his name was?" and subsequently brought up my meme post. I guess that makes me internet-famous.

FAE

@TimStone Haha, nice!

Ronan Forman

@TimStone You have your own signal? Don't give @Wipqozn any ideas, he summons me enough as it is.

Wipqozn

@RonanForman Can you make me a Tortoise signal?

Ronan Forman

I really shouldn't have done that as a ping.

@FAE The DLC / xpacs don't quite integrate with the base game smoothly (and I realized yesterday that they've essentially remade every sims xpac for te previous two sims games, instead of iterating anything new)

@FAE Don't get me wrong, it's the best of the three (in my opinion)

LessPop_MoreFizz

Sarcasm

Sarcasm is "a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter gibe or taunt", usually conveyed through irony or understatement. Most authorities distinguish sarcasm from irony; however, others argue that sarcasm may or often does involve irony or employs ambivalence. Origin of the term The word comes from the Greek σαρκασμός (sarkasmos) which is taken from the word σαρκάζειν meaning "to tear flesh, bite the lips in rage, sneer ". It is first recorded in English in 1579, in an annotation to The Shepheardes Calender by Edmund Spenser: October: Usage Mostly used for the re-ite...
