@OrigamiRobot Do you not have a thermostat you can program to come on in the morning?

@OrigamiRobot So things were easier in the 50s?

OrigamiRobot

@fredley Hell no, this apartment is shitty.

fredley

Putting clothes through the dryer every morning seems like a massive chore

OrigamiRobot

My thermostat doesn't even tell me the temperature properly.

@fredley Not really, I just turn it on.

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Chore chore chore

My favourite part was the part with the penises

@fredley I don't know, it's a bunch of really bad states being carried by some really average states isn't it?

badp

@BenBrocka we don't speak of the backlog here

kalina

@fredley penis? where?

fredley

@kalina Yeah. Sounds like third world to me.

@kalina Star bait. Still starring.

kalina

so predictable

fredley

@kalina I like predictable.

kalina

13:05

@fredley you are so predictable

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz I approve. Nice find.

kalina

speaking of predictable, isn't it about time @fbueckert and @SaintWacko turned up?

LessPop_MoreFizz

I will never look at @wipqozn the same way again.

kalina

@LessPop_MoreFizz how were you looking at him up to this point? o_O

fredley

@LessPop_MoreFizz It's the whole penis touching chin thing, isn't it?

FF9's backgrounds were way higher resolution than they were shown in game

fbueckert

@kalina It's like you live for us to show up.

Grace Note

@BenBrocka Ben! Did you make the disc yet?

kalina

@fbueckert it was close enough though, my message is still on this page! :p

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote No. My 3/3 was actually a x/3/3 or something so I couldn't make it. I have 3 more discs now but I didn't check what their numbers are

Also I bought a billion outfits and most of them are meh

Grace Note

Wargh.

@BenBrocka I neeeeed you to make it to fiiind out!

Q: Does the timing of a game realease affect sales?

I know that in Game Dev Story, the time you release your game can have a noticeable affect on sales (ex. early December). The in game hints and tutorials don't mention timing releases at all. Does releasing games at a certain time increase or decrease sales?

Q: How are new research options unlocked?

I have noticed at certain points in the game I will unlock new research options like "Branching Story". I understand that you have to have a staff member research them to use them. How are these research options unlocked initially?

@fbueckert and @kalina yada yada you know the drill

fredley

Hacking schema changes live into a production database is fun :D

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot I thought I got replaced?

Grace Note

@GrumpyLazers I see this and all I can think of now is Dot Dot Dot.

kalina

game dev questions are terrible for people not reading them

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote You don't even have one?

Grace Note

13:32

@BenBrocka No, I have it. I need you to find out.

Basically, there are two ways we can do this, @BenBrocka.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Hi UnbannedSlice

Grace Note

I can give you this specific combination that I've already given you, as an introduction to the system for you to start from there, after which I can give you further combinations once you have made this specific one.

fbueckert

@kalina Who's kneejerking in the comments now?

kalina

@fbueckert nobody today

Ben Brocka

Will I regret using up the chips if I only have a few of those types?

Now that people are awake, I'm going to link this again because it is sufficiently fantastic to deserve it:

kalina

...yet

Grace Note

Or, I can give you some hints on how to make a different specific combination, one probably far more useful, for the benefit of the satisfactory feeling one gets by deriving a combination logically, but then you'd essentially be wild-goose-chasing at the start.

@BenBrocka Not the ones for this combination, no, they're pretty easy to come by and they're not something extra-special that you want to hang on to.

Wipqozn

@fredley ;)

@LessPop_MoreFizz He still can't talk.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn Indeed. :(

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote Wild goose chasing + rare, consumable ingredients = I never do it

Grace Note

13:38

@BenBrocka To be fair, I'd give you one that actually takes extremely cheap and easy-to-find ingredients that you're probably swimming in.

Ben Brocka

Which is part of why I currently have all of 5 game discs, all made with parts I had a bunch of

Grace Note

Well, except for one, but that one is one you would've gotten already by a quest.

And can easily re-obtain via said quest. Or by numerous other places.

Ben Brocka

I do have MO and sci-fi. I don't think I had lots but at least 2 of each

Grace Note

You won't really miss these two, and I'm glad you do have them. It makes it easier.

I'll give you some help on a disc, then, @BenBrocka. You'll want Medal H.

OrigamiRobot

looks at the star list I have no idea what's going on.

Grace Note

13:43

I don't think you want to hunt down the 8 Trillion God of Magatsuhi, so a much easier target is Grafchocolo, the Tough Foe in Halo Forest.

Ben Brocka

That's actually the one I didn't get after killing the tough foe 6 times so I quit

Grace Note

...alright, let's do an easier-drop-but-slightly-harder-foe, Trick Crown, Tough Foe in Haneda Mountain Range.

Ben Brocka

I'll just do the halo forest one again if you're sure it'll drop it, it's the palette swap of Trick, right?

It was easy enough to kill, but most tough foes dropped a medal after 1 or 2 fights

SaintWacko

Morning, Bridge

Grace Note

@BenBrocka It can drop it, but here's the thing.

There's two kinds of Tough Foe drop sets. "The annoying" and the "Practically guaranteed".

SaintWacko

13:48

@OrigamiRobot ...what...

badp

@SaintWacko somebody hates being starred, except when she loves it.

SaintWacko

@badp I wonder who that could be

Grace Note

"The annoying" is a boss that drops 3 possible items, which are usually a boss-specific material, a medal, and a Taboo Staff. The annoying part is that they have a random chance for any particular one of these drops, making it pretty easy to take many tries to get even just the not-Taboo-Staff drops. Grafchocolo is this.

Ben Brocka

Yeah I definitely got some random other drops out of him

Grace Note

"Practically guaranteed" is a boss that drops just a medal, and nothing else. That's it. Nothing more. Because it's a single drop, they almost always drop it. Trick Crown is this.

This is not like how it is with Risky Foes who have a single drop, as they still have wonky drop rates. The single-medal drops are pretty much always dropped. You'll spend probably only one shot to get this on your first kill.

The disc Trick Crown gives you is also 4/3/0, as compared to the 3/4/4 you would otherwise be using with the (very, very nice) red slot being unused.

I need to take off more clothes, it's so warm in here today

Ben Brocka

For reference I have everything NOT on this list (I realize that is exactly opposite of what would be particularly helpful):

Grace Note

4 or 5 red slots are pretty much the best chip slots.

Ben Brocka

Grace Note

Right, I'm telling you to grab Medal L

Ben Brocka

I know, that's why they're in bold

Just posting in case there's some other useful medal I have

Grace Note

13:54

You apparently have U and V but those discs are kinda... a lot more useful for other combinations than this one. L is your best bet.

Ben Brocka

Do you know what the deal is with "anonydeath lab depths"? Is that the second map on anonydeath's labs? Because A) that's not on my map B) Anonydeath's lab is in Lastation not Planeptune

fredley

@kalina You have to post these things when I'm here, otherwise no stars

Also, there's been quite enough nudity for one day already.

kalina

@fredley I can live with that

FEichinger

Stonehearth looks ... not-awful.

Grace Note

@BenBrocka (A) It's the second room, there are in fact two Tough Foes in that dungeon (B) Your spreadsheet is inaccurate. It is in fact in Lastation, and there's another place you can find that exact same Tough Foe (and thus the same medal drop), which is in the Magma Cave (not the Em Es Magma Cave)

fredley

@FEichinger No. I've already thrown money at one Kickstarter already today!

Oh, it's the same one

@FEichinger I might as well set fire to all my money (although my Pebble is lovely)

@OrigamiRobot No. It's that awesome watch.

SaintWacko

@GraceNote Is this still Hyperdimension Neptunia?

@SaintWacko Yes.
