@spugsley I would buy you a beer, were you to visit me.
@fbueckert :p what happens when I get there, seeing as I'm extremely close
@badp wat is dat?
@spugsley You officially have no life, that's what. :P
@RavenDreamer and I would accept said beer wonk
@fbueckert BUT I DO STUFF
@spugsley :O
@spugsley kind of like Diablo 2 but always online
00:01
@spugsley Apparently not enough. :P
@Coronus :o
I hope you like sphere grid things
@badp I have to ask the only question worth asking before I even bother: is there loot?
@spugsley yes
00:02
@spugsley Even better, it's customizable loot.
I got five or six rares and two legendaries in the first 30 levels
Like the affixes, but they rolled low? Use an orb to re-roll them!
Not at max affixes? Use an orb to add another one!
@fbueckert I almost peed out of excitment
Like the sockets, but the affixes are crap? Remove them and start with a white item!
I will check this out
00:05
@spugsley It allows you to customize your items to what you want.
It doesn't have money, though, so everything is barter.
@StrixVaria why did you hate path of exile?
@OrigamiRobot told me to ask
@spugsley The boss of act 2 was stupid.
Honestly, that is also true of Diablo 3, though.
@StrixVaria lol yes it is
Act 2 always sucks.
What should I be looking to spend on a 1kdps 1h weapon with crit chance and an open socket in D3?
00:07
@StrixVaria As little as possible.
@StrixVaria Echoing Fury or not?
A reddit commenter told me that Twilight's mane looks like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisexual_Pride_Flag
What should I expect it to cost me?
@OrigamiRobot Haven't started looking yet. I only have like 500k gold so it's really "how long do I have to wait?"
I know it's going to be at least a few million.
@StrixVaria I think I paid 5m for my EF. Rares are more.
@StrixVaria Just 1K DPS? Depending on other affixes, you can get lucky and get one anywhere from 300K to a million.
00:08
@fbueckert 1kdps with high crit damage and a socket.
@StrixVaria The trick is to be patient; sometimes people will list good items for stupid low buyouts.
Impatience is my main weakness other than bullets.
You guys still play D3? Has it gotten better?
@Sterno It is now in a state where it should have been prior to release.
Still has lots of room for improvement.
00:11
The only thing that kept me going was the soul-crushing difficulty on the final difficulty
You can still ramp up the difficulty to be soul-crushing if you like.

Q: Diablo 2 procuring affixes on mercenaries (hirelings)

guestIf I give my mercenary an item that has "Chance to cast" attribute, will it work?

Then they nerfed it
It's just an option now, instead of mandatory.
To be fair, I'm dumb and would probably still play anyway if babies didn't devour free time
00:12
Babies :(
@spugsley If you will the real problem is the long-ass setup process and the fact the game lacks half of act 3 and the entirety of act 4
@spugsley What does my Diablo 3 "Last Online" say?
Woo! Marquise Emerald Design!
Guys! Guys! I'm about to play a computer game for the first time in over a month! I have almost two whole hours free!
Too bad one hour will be deciding which game to play
@Sterno What game?!?!?!?!
00:16
@Sterno What the @$*# you doin' in the bridge! Get on it, boyo!
Oh, well.
I think probably some more Dishonored.
Or some Skyrim. Or finish Mark of the Ninja. Or bljalkdjflkjdflkjdflkjdflfkj!!!!111
so many choices
@spugsley pls
And Borderlands 2... and torchlight 2...
So I just got Minecraft this weekend, and I was wondering, is it worth it to get my feet wet in singleplayer unmodded, or should I just jump in to mods and servers and stuff?
00:21
@Coronus wet those feet!
Unskippable intro movies are awesome. Developers should continue making them!
user15026
Koolaid Jammers were half price. Did I buy three boxes of them? Yes. Am I feasting on koolaid? HECK YES
WTF IS THIS TRASH NO RARE WITH 5 STACKS
00:36
So only way to play SimCity is via Origin??
@AshleyNunn Ever figure out where 999 went?
Hm. I wonder if my laptop is keylogg'd.
Time to run every virus scan known to mankind.
@RavenDreamer Really? An apostrophe? Unnecessary!
@Fluttershy I'm quirky, and you love it.
user15026
00:42
@Powerlord Noooope
...Really? I finally find a good plan, and it's worth a grand total of 30K? Boo.

Q: Once poisoned does it matter if I stay in poison clouds?

IanWhenever a thin man gobs phlegm all over one of my guys I always move him away next turn. But I've been wondering about whether I need to: after all he's already poisoned. Do poison effects stack? Does the poison expire after a number of turns and staying in the cloud renews this count? Is there...

Wow. SimCity's city size?
> “We need to keep in mind that Sim City is a mainstream game, it’s not a game that is only going to run on high-end gaming PCs, it has to run in your Dad’s PC as well. That is just a performance decision. Given that was the performance constraint we decided to work under, we built a larger region environment and a bunch of the multiplay to work with 2km cities.”

“We’ll eventually get around to expanding the city size, but I can’t make any promises as to when.”
Essentially, "Not everyone has the hardware for it, so we're not letting anyone make a huge city."
That's just so wrong.
MAKE YOUR GAME NOT A RESOURCE HOG
HOW ABOUT THAT
Giant cities worked in Sim City 2000.
00:50
@StrixVaria Or don't code for the lowest common denominator.
And acknowledge that not all your consumers are idiots.
@StrixVaria Do you think that would... Nah, that's crazy talk... Well, maybe... Nope. Too risky.
I don't think most 2003 PCs can run a 1M SC4 city, but that didn't stop them from releasing the game with the huge city size
@fbueckert Do you have any idea how much money EA would lose if they decided to treat their consumers like real people?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Eeeevil
@Fluttershy In the short run, a little, yeah.
00:54
@James It's EAvil.
@fbueckert Since when have idiots played Sim City? It's always been a complicated game
@BenBrocka Since apparently, "Casual audience! OMG!"
user15026
@Coronus Very nice.
I wish the console/PC gaming companies would leave the "casual appeal" to garbage smartphone games
If you're not Popcap just stay the hell away from "casual"
@BenBrocka Are they still putting stuff out under the Popcap name?
Just curious.
00:59
Dunno when their last release was. but A) EA's business model is basically "kill studios" and B) they've been working hard to implement "casual" features (read: microtransacitons) into everything
I actually haven't heard much out of Popcap since PvZ and it's billion ports
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka PvZ2 is coming out this year
@FAE Really? Cool, hadn't heard of that
@BenBrocka And with the big studios basically going, "Money is the most important thing ever, and you guys are stupid to make us want to do things ethically", their PR is taking a major hit.
Followed by:
@OrigamiRobot Apparently people bitched at him about the second being a stolen gag too (because all jokes are stolen and no one thinks up anything independently)
Thank god there's no joke patent office
Gave that reader a chart. Readers love charts
user15026
01:17
@BenBrocka I also love how skewed the info looks
18 is 50% of 19
Gotta love the graduations too, just in case anyone had an 18.2 drinking age
user15026
@BenBrocka You never know. Anything is possible
Still looks ugly
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I liked the tentacles better
@BenBrocka ಠ_ಠ
01:19
@BenBrocka That would be me.
Has anyone read the Flight series of graphic novels?

Q: How can I quickly reduce my realm size?

Paul MarshallRelated to how to find out how big an opponent is, I just found out that I'm the biggest kid on the block: my realm is bigger than even the Holy Roman Empire, so I can't invade anybody. But my realm size is only about 20 bigger than the HRE; how can I quickly reduce my realm size so that I qualif...

@YiJiang'sEvilClone This one looks okay.
There's something wrong with the colors. Bon Bon doesn't have a color guide
01:25
@Ullallulloo ಠ_ಠ
@Ullallulloo EA's goons killed the original simcity, tag included, to replace it with whatever garbage they're shipping
@BenBrocka yeah, but the meta post says to make a synonym of .
They're currently the other way around.
user15026
Wheeee founds my 3ds charger. Games are still MIA (I swear to god if my ex stole them I am going to kick his half blind ass)
you lost your stuff?
01:30
Feb 13 at 10:18, by Yi Jiang's Evil Clone
@MartinSojka Shush! No, shut up, we've already spent hours having possibly the least useful debate on site policy imaginable. Not going to talk about it. Nope.
user15026
@BenBrocka Most of my actual carts, yeah.
user15026
They were all in my club nintendo case
user15026
havent been able to find it since the last itme my ex was here
@AshleyNunn O_O
@AshleyNunn ^_^
01:31
@AshleyNunn nooo :(
user15026
@BenBrocka Yeah, I am a little pissed. Hoping they are just in some stupid place in my apartment
Did you look under the books?
@AshleyNunn I'm sure they're hiding there somewhere. I'm glad you found your charger though! Didn't you need it to play 999?
user15026
@BenBrocka Most of them. I think.
user15026
@Coronus Well, the problem is the 999 cart is one of the MIA ones
01:34
TIL Pinkie Pie's family is named after Pac-Man ghosts...
@Fluttershy By the fans
@AshleyNunn Oh, I thought you had that one but were missing others.
@murgatroid99 I'm fine with that. Fan names have a tendency to become canon.
@Fluttershy Yeah, occasionally
user15026
@Coronus No, I have Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, any of the KH games, and Paper Mario Sticker Star. Also Adventure Time. And FE, but that is only because I got it as a full download, not a cart.
01:36
Ugh I hate my state sometimes. This license renewal cost is ridiculous
user15026
I did manage, though, to start the download for the MH3U demo, @Wipqozn.
@AshleyNunn Excelent.
@AshleyNunn Yay!
@YiJiang'sEvilClone My favorite was when she appeared in the snow globe. Or in Fluttershy's (I think?) chicken coop.
user15026
01:42
Was the GBC Harvest Moon any good?
Which? The first?
user15026
@BenBrocka I assume so, from the video in the eshop
IIRC the first was enjoyable, mostly a version of the SNES one without the romance/plot bits. 2 and 3 added more gameplay that was actually original. But I could be misremembering because there was also a TI 83 version that looked similar...but was very stripped down
But I enjoyed all 3 GBC ones
user15026
@BenBrocka There was a TI 83 version?!
Star Conflict really IS just snipers and everybody else.
They're really too powerful.
ACHEWOOD WITH VOICES AND PEOPLE MOVING AND JOKES AND ACHEWOOD ACHEWOOD ACHEWOOD
And Ray Smuckles is Artie! The Strongest Maaaaan... In the World!
@AshleyNunn that was my reaction
@fbueckert I need your help!
01:49
@Fluttershy Eh?
@Ullallulloo Cool, I never knew about Sort by Recent
@fbueckert There was a game once upon a time on the original Playstation. It was like Pokemon in that you had to collect a bunch of monsters and stuff. The way you did it was to insert random discs while the game was running. Some had monsters, some didn't. Do you remember, or have you even heard of, it?
Monster Rancher
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Everything else takes forever in scrolling.
@fbueckert Thank you!
01:51
Home time! See you later.
@Fluttershy The brain comes through!
That's not the only menu, btw. All four big words at the top are now menus.
Don't you just love it when a dialog's estimated time to completion goes up instead of down?
In the mean time, I think I'll watch some YouTube
@IanPugsley Still a pale shadow of Love Will Keep Us Together/Love Will Tear Us Apart.
02:01
@LessPop_MoreFizz Never heard it.
@IanPugsley Someone turned a NIN song into a song that wouldn't be amiss on the billboard top 40 pop chart? My worldview has been destroyed.
@MBraedley You do realize that NIN has been at or near the top of the billboard top 40 many times, right?
@LessPop_MoreFizz But on the pop chart?
maybe I just have a distorted view of what was on the pop chart at that time
It's more a commentary on the differences between NIN and the likes of 1st album Brittany Spears and manufactured 5 person groups
Never was a fan of NIN, though, so maybe that's part of it
02:06
@LessPop_MoreFizz Perhaps I don't appreciate the originals nearly as much as you, but this is less striking to me.
I like it, but I didn't get that "this is a great mashup" feeling.
TBH, this NIN mashup is really kind of dumb and has had almost nothing done with it. There's no craft in it. No art. Just Vocal track from one song, instrumental from another, throw it through a simple correction in software of your choice.
Meh.
like, the gimmick is amusing, but there's no craftsmanship.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm not a mashup connoisseur by any means, and my level of taste when it comes to pop is fairly low-brow.
If you're a fan of The Clash, London Booted is pretty much a classic for good stuff.
(sigh) I have a feeling this drive diagnostic is going to take until morning.
Or any of the old Go Home Productions stuff, like Jacko Under Pressure
02:12
Cool, got my first Great Answer badge.
@StrixVaria Nice
On a brand new drive, too
So it's a lemon, then
yep

Q: Can I construct a Citadel within the borders of a Citystate?

Q: How do i get to the next level from snow rise?

user43054I got the one that leads to whiteout valley, but that didn't help, because i saw in mariowiki that i needed a "heat-based" sticker, so i looked at the stickers, and it said that you could only get heat stickers AFTER snow rise.

Why is a ebook 20 bucks? there is no need for it to be that much money.
@AshleyNunn Publishers.
And greed.
user15026
@fbueckert I know, and it makes me want to throw rocks.
I'm guessing they want to avoid competing with sales of the physical copy of the book
Well, I'm already up half an hour later than normal, what another half an hour?
user15026

@YiJiang'sEvilClone More than likely, but I also think books are overpriced, especially hardcovers and trade PBs
Is hulu.com broken for you guys?
Alright... Time for Hollow Bastion. Wish me luck, Bridge.

@Fluttershy Good luck.

Can I flag bad science videos on Youtube as "Spam or misleading"?
@MBraedley I don't think it'll work, but it's worth a try, right?
If they're actually selling a product some countries have laws against false advertising, though I'm not sure if that extends to internet videos
Wait, for real, does Hulu work for y'all?
Assuming it ever did.
It, uh, never did

I am sure there has to be someone somewhere who will trade me books for bacon
I will give you books for bacon. But I might have to get non-program-y books first.
04:01
@OrigamiRobot There are no babies, but there's lots of punching, so it sort of evens out
@BenBrocka It has horrifying monsters and boob ladies.
user15026
@TimStone Oh. :(
@OrigamiRobot Those are a plus
Time to finally cut out the last four squashed pony bookmarks and complete the set
04:24
Hmmm, I messed up Pinkie's mane
@OrigamiRobot Bouncing rhythmically. Can't... look... away...
Ah crap. Messed up the pasting. Oh well, still have one more left...
04:46
@RavenDreamer There's also a video by the same guy focusing on...things
You won't believe how much swearing is involved in making these bookmarks
...unless you're looking at Double
In which case, I didn't know @RavenDreamer was into amorphous blobs of flesh
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Considering the fiddly cutting work, I am not entirely surprised there is cursing
Pony bookmarks are composed of paper, laminated with tears hardened by swearing
@Fluttershy ... why would you do such a thing
04:50
@Ktash For @spugsley's benefit, of course.
@Fluttershy For shame!
Flottersho pls
Hey, I didn't draw it. =P But you can find anything on the internets these days.
@Ktash Every Trinity but White finished, All 3 cups finished/time trial'd, all 7 Arts collected... Working on Hollow Bastion now, then it's Synthesis and level grinding.
@Fluttershy Nice! Making progress :)
@AshleyNunn Did you make yours already?
04:55
@Ktash I'm also only missing... 6 or 9 dalmatians. =3
I have 2x6 of them on an A4 sized image which you can print if you haven't
@Fluttershy hopefully not monstro. Those can be a pain
@Ktash Nah. Hollow Bastion.
Nice
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I tried. It did not go well.
user15026
05:04
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That would be awesome :) I am going to borrow my sister's scrapbooking knives and cutting mat to try again
@spugsley I like the photos today. Personally, I like the balance and emotion in the second better (the one in comments) but both are very good :)
user15026
@Fluttershy You make me feel so behind
Rarity is done. Pinkie Pie is done. Next: Applejack
@AshleyNunn Keep in mind I've beaten this game a few times. <_< You'd never played it before!

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I suspect a good part of it is my absolutely terrible fine motor skills, so I am hoping I can enlist help. :P
@Ktash thanks :) I'm feeling good about today

Oh dear god Applejack's tail
Why did I draw this
user15026
I got Robert Munsch books in the mail today from my sister. I am debating if reading them aloud to my cat would make me crazy. (I just want to read them to someone!)
Yeah, I should redesign Applejack's tail. This is too much.
Hollow Bastion complete!
05:28
Applejack is done. Last one: Rainbow Dash
What are you working on?
@Fluttershy The bookmarks. I'm completing the set.
05:47
And done.
user15026
06:03
They look awesome!
The cutting isn't as clean as I want it to be. The image quality is kind of poor, but you can see some of the unclean edges
I think Twilight's the easiest to do, followed by Pinkie. Rarity's okay except for the tail. Fluttershy has some tight corners, and the tail is a pain as well. Applejack's tail is impossible to cut. I need to fix that. Rainbow Dash is harder than it looks to cut - the wings are really tight
user15026
Yeah, Applejack's tail is a little close to her body.
No, not that. The split ends on the tail after the hairband
It's so small it's impossible to cut correctly, like Fluttershy's tail
user15026
06:34
Oh I see what you mean. If you cut it that close, you risk cutting it off completely. Least that's what would happen if I tried it (I didn't get that far)

Q: What is the use of a Dreadnought?

user28015Dreadnoughts are Capital Ships that don't have much uses as far as I know. I do know that it is often used to take down pocos and POS'es. In what situations can you expect to be called to a fleet or CTA with your Dreadnought and what is your primary and secondary role on the field?

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Interesting mental image
10:39
Phew, I finally found it
A physical copy of MLP comic
It was S$7.20. The cover price is USD3.99, which is S$5, so that's a 40% markup on the original price. Still, considering it's being shipped from the US I guess its not too bad
The shop also had a first print version for S$15.
Which isn't too expensive I guess, since it's a collector's item now
Sorry, it still leaves me utterly cold
