howdy folks
@kalina Yes,
d2 was kinda weird
you could rebind left and right mouse, so essentially had one skill active all the time with the other toggled by pressing f1 through f8
but the game also let you cycle through the f1-f8 bindings with mouse scroll
@ShotgunNinja hi
@kalina That's thrown me off more than once.
right I need some TV to watch
I am going to watch Venture Bros \o/
Watch the reruns of formula 1 races!
17:12
HI HI HIHIHIHIHI HI
boring
Yo
@spugsley o/
Today is me and @IanPugsley's anniversary :3
three years!
17:14
Grats!
does that mean romantic meal and sexy time?
Wedding anniversary or got-together anniversary?
FAE
FAE
@spugsley Congrats!
This site's anniversary is also coming
@badp wedding :) We've actually been together for more like 10
17:18
TEN YEARS WITH THE SAME PERSON!?
3
wow that came out wrong
@kalina yes, the same person, for all ten :p
@kalina That is more than half our lives.
The whole point of a wedding is committing to the same person for life
@RonanForman I know, I'm lost of words
It's almost half their lives.
17:20
my parents this year celebrate 25 years of wedding
@RonanForman We really aren't that old :( I'm 24. I just met him when we were 14 and decided that was that :p
FAE
FAE
@kalina I have that too, but with others thrown in for good measure! :D
@FAE yeah that's different though
this conversation is teaching me I have commitment issues
@spugsley No, that's my point. I was pointing out the fact you two are so young.
@RonanForman oh oh oh I read that as "I'm"
:)
FAE
FAE
17:23
@kalina It's still a long commitment, especially given the difficulties that come with such a "lifestyle", for lack of a better term.
@FAE oh yeah certainly, but with some variety thrown in because of the lifestyle
pros and cons
FAE
FAE
@badp Congrats! My parents celebrate 42 this year!
I think my longest ever "relationship" is like 6 months max
@spugsley I'd draw you a congratulatory something, but I'm supposed to be revising for my exam tomorrow, so I better not.
FAE
FAE
@kalina That is the length of my shortest. I'm apparently pretty sucky at casual dating.
17:25
@kalina I don't think I've even managed that.
I struggle with the emotional connection
by the end of every single one of my relationships I've felt like murder
@kalina As in the relationship felt like murder or you felt like partaking in murder by the end of it?
the latter
@kalina That isn't exactly uncommon, but getting to that point so soon ... Hmm. :/
store.steampowered.com/app/216090 Must buy :D. Nice little summer themed game :D

@fbueckert But... this... no.
@NoneOfYourBusiness Oh, hey! Finally joined chat, did you?
I was here often
just avoiding you
17:30
@NoneOfYourBusiness I hadn't noticed until now.
@NoneOfYourBusiness Ah, that explains it.
@FAE Exactly. Yet another person who does not understand what Arqade is about.
@NoneOfYourBusiness To you, personally, perhaps. Your opinion is yours.
FAE
FAE
@NoneOfYourBusiness Dude, that's kind of unnecessarily hostile.
@FAE No it is honest
I rather have people tell me the same than hiding behind a mask... honesty is awesome
I can peacefully dislike people
I just let them know when I dislike them

Q: How do I deal with a protoss army containing high templars as a zerg?

Volkan Ä°lbeyliWell, I play team games mostly but besides team battles, I have been in a few battles which was just the protoss and me, the zerg. And, I struggled a lot. Whatever composition I have in the army (except for brood lords, haven't been in a 1v1 battle with brood lords on my side yet), the high templ...

Just remember that you've run into issues being honest before.
Well, I do in real life either

@NoneOfYourBusiness From Chat FAQ. What you do offline isn't germane to the conversation. You're required to at least make an attempt to be civil here.
annnnd with that I think it's time to step out and let things cool down for a bit. See you later guys :)
@spugsley Go have some bacon!
17:35
@Powerlord It's not important.
@spugsley Nooooo! Come baaaaaaaaaack!
really? I look away for a minute and hostilities occur?
DO I HAVE TO SET FIRE TO EVERYBODY?
@kalina Gotta stay on top of them!
on... top... of them...?
I can live with that
Shame on you all. You scared away the @spugsley.
@OrigamiRobot Good job guys!
17:39
@spugsley COME BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK
@ShotgunNinja Ssh, let her enjoy her bacon.
@spugsley Enjoy your bacon.
18:03
So any goals in FF6 that I really have to complete?
@fbueckert Beating Kefka?
@Powerlord Yay, someone stated the obvious! :P
Learning all of Gau's abilities?
Learning all of Strago's spells?
I don't really use either of them that much.
Beating Lavos.
18:06
Chasing after Lucia after the end credits? Oh wait, that's Lunar 2.
Can be done, but feels like a stretch.
@OrigamiRobot I would so kill him if he showed up.
OMG, I just spoiled a 19 year old game!
That's the weird thing about Lunar 2, though... you sit through the end credits. Except there are still like 10 more hours of gameplay after that.
Including a second set of end credits.
@fbueckert Lots and lots of Gau's crap is missable anyway. And a few are bugged and impossible to collect...even in the updated GBA version!
Why is there such an abundance of people begging to be put on permanent ignore in chat recently?
I'm on target for getting all the Espers, killing all the dragons, and uncursing the shield.
Anything not stupid grindy that I can add to the list?
18:11
@fbueckert Play FF5 instead.
@StrixVaria I'm at ExDeath.
@fbueckert Are you talking about how far you are in FF5 or is there an ExDeath in FF6 too?
This is part of my, "Start at an arbitrary number in Final Fantasy, and play until 9 is complete." goal, for the FFX HD remake.
@StrixVaria I'm talking about how far in FF5 I am.
FF5 was the only FF game I ever actually finished.
It was a long time ago, though.
Which, I suppose, I can add to the list of games to complete.
18:13
@fbueckert Where did you start?
@StrixVaria Depending on when you define start time, 5 or 6.
You should retro-include 4.
@StrixVaria If I have time, sure, I'll come back to it.
Final Fantasy 3-6 were all really good.
It's too bad what happened starting at 11.
@StrixVaria I have 3 for DS; never really played it all that much.
18:15
@StrixVaria No. It started at X-2.
@fbueckert 3 is probably not worth playing since you've pretty much finished 5.
Squeenix must have hired some visual novel developers or something for X-2.
@ShotgunNinja I forgot this existed.
I will be unpopular here and say I kinda enjoyed X-2.
@ShotgunNinja X-2 came out after 11
18:17
And XII. And XIII.
@fbueckert X2 was enjoyable in a way, the skill system was alright (though there plenty of ways to braindeadly bash through everything). But the story was weird (and quite awkward due to their refusal to mention THAT GUY by name) and they oh-so-heavily reused assets. And there was an inordinate amount of permanently missable content considering it's meant to be kind of non-linear (thanks to the chapter system)
@BenBrocka It's been several years since I played it. Most of it is rather foggy by this point.

Spirits

Proposed Q&A site for drinkers, enthousiasts, creators of distilled beverages, also called spirits. Some of the most popular spirits are whisky, vodka, rum, gin, brandy and tequila and there are many others.

Currently in definition.

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment And yet another proposal of this nature.
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment Top rated question: "Where are my clothes and how did I get to this town"
@fbueckert IMO it makes more sense to have one booze related proposal than one for homebrew, one for wine, etc etc
18:26
@BenBrocka Ditto. But this isn't anywhere near the first alcohol-related proposal on A51.
Yeah, I just usually see oddly specific ones
No one needed a Lone Ranger movie.
> enthousiasts
You must be this drunk to ask questions on this site:
18:41
Any word longer than 10 characters is off-topic
unless it is a proper name for a strain of yeast
@Sconibulus In that case, it has to include at least two typos, though.
The most recent messages by both @Sterno and @Sconibulus seem to have little to nothing to do with anything.
@FEichinger You can have no connection to the Steam Friends network and still be downloading.
@Powerlord I shouldn't be able to download at all.
@FEichinger Why?
18:44
@Powerlord My Firewall is set up to block pretty much all traffic.
If I connect via wired LAN, I cannot start the download, for instance.
And if I go through my phone, the rate is too slow, because it's capped right now.
What I did:
1. Connect to Internet through phone.
2. Connect to Internet via wired LAN.
3. Unpause download.
4. Disconnect from phone.
5. IT WORKS, WTF?!
@FEichinger What are its rules about connections opened via HTTP?
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka IIRC, you could skip 70% of the game, pretty much. I have to admit the FMV for 1,000 words still makes me teary though, but I'm a sap. Using jobs was fun though.
@Powerlord As I said, if I were to connect just through wired LAN, it would not start.
@FAE The jobs were fun, but I think after I got the super dresspheres I just used the one that let you use the super powers as fast as possible
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka I really liked Payne's super form thing, the metal one. I don't remember the names of any of the stuff, I played it a really long time ago.

Q: What are the 16 New Great People and 16 New National Wonders in Civ Rev 2.4.4?

mattdmCivilization Revolution for the iPad was just updated with the following notice: What's New in Version 2.4.4 Exciting new content has been added to enhance your Civilization experience including: Purchase pack with 16 New Great People Purchase pack with 16 New National Wonders ...

@FAE I remember liking Riku;s the best...I actually kinda forget Payne's
I don't even remember the super spheres!
Windows managed to kill Steam without killing TF2

"Out" of Memory
Windows never really comes close to running out of memory, it just panicks well beforehand

@BenBrocka Ah, good ole "default to cancel"
@Wipqozn this is awesome
19:02
@Wipqozn Youtube videos that constantly pause to load make me sad
@badp Badly executed punch, though.
Needs another panel where the convo starts again and Link facefloors.
@FEichinger It's an edited comic anyway
@BenBrocka Sooo? Could still get the punch right!
@BenBrocka Comic itself was executed well, punchline is nonexistent. I give it a 7/10
19:18
The new G+ notification bell is awful
just saying
plays a song on the Harp of Ages and hops in a time portal
appears out of thin air
So... where did I end up this time?
6/19/2013
Same date, same time... wait, this portal only jumped 5 seconds into the future? What a gyp!
boots & cats
19:34
Are people actin less cray-cray now?
@spugsley Yes... by not saying anything.
I'm fine with that
@BenBrocka And sometimes a first playthrough, too.

is sad she knows those lyrics
19:45
@Sterno OMG WHY TODAY IS MY ANNIVERSARY YOU SHOULD BE NICE TO ME
Awww, can't hotlink the 2nd one
and I'm too lazy to copy it
@spugsley I am being nice! Everyone tells me you love Dolan!
There you go
@badp yay.
@badp But you should be nice to @spugsley. It's her anniversary.
@spugsley With friends like this, who needs enemies?
19:49
@ShotgunNinja This is way more interesting than candy box.
@StrixVaria xenonauts!
guys. It's been like a year. This Dolan thing should not be interesting anymore. Srsly
@Sterno it's the pugsleys' anniversary. Like, both of them!
ALL THE PUGSLEYS
and we both know Ian's quite the Dolan conoisseur
well I don't know but it's a reasonable assumption!
19:52
@spugsley What new and interesting way should we troll you?
@Sterno hm, maybe photography lingo?
@Sterno I think the ultimate troll at this point would be to be the nicest ever. I would hate that so much
@badp O-o omg please don't
"Hm, today I got a 23" ultra-wide focal lens to get this nice photo of my supper on Instagram"
no, I suck at this
@BenBrocka 503
@spugsley I'm not sure I know how to be nice.
19:55
but if they did that, it'd actually disappoint me
I mean, I could say, "Your hair smells good!", and that's nice because it's a compliment, but it's also way creepy!
@BenBrocka They're doing a complete 360 there.
2
@badp was working a second ago. Different source
@Sterno Depends on how you tell her. You could first give her a hug and then since you've been close to her you'd get to say that. No need, then, to mention you've been spying on her bathroom
@badp You're right. Better cover that way.
19:57
@Sterno O_O
@Ullallulloo When I saw their DRM policy I turned One degree and walked away

@spugsley STOP ASKING PEOPLE TO BE NICE IF YOU DON'T WANT IT
:)
@badp OOOOOOOOOOO____OOOOOOOOO
@spugsley oh god did I turn you into a bee?
@badp wat
19:58
@spugsley That's asymmetrical.
@spugsley which one are you?
@badp spoiler alert: all of them
no, actually, I'm that random woman behind him fucking dressed like a fucking bee
I'm so badass
@spugsley LOLOL
@spugsley You mean bee-dass
also, what's the point of the face cage? It's not keeping the bees in....?
20:00
@spugsley I... I never noticed that was a thing that existed
@badp the more you know :3
seriously, this movie is an art form in how bad it is. So many nuances
@BenBrocka I'll believe it when they announce it.
I watched that whole movie. It explains some things about me, probably.
Publishers will NOT be happy.
@spugsley "what's the point of the face cage"
20:02
@FEichinger look at it though. It's not really doing anything
@FEichinger Cageception
@ShotgunNinja Exactly!
@spugsley You ... you don't get it, do you?
lol I don't.
Uh, the cage should keep them in
55 secs ago, by Shotgun Ninja
@FEichinger Cageception
20:03
The bees that are outside just never fell into the Cage
Nicolas Cage in a Cage.
@ShotgunNinja oh god. just. don't.
@fbueckert Same. I'm glad they somewhat care about DRM and it means next gen probably won't have the DRM either, but I'mma still stick with the PS4
@BenBrocka They're just bowing to gamer pressure, after they realized Sony wouldn't cave to publisher pressure.
Hmm, Aquaria from the Humble Bundle is a bit resource-intensive on my tablet, I didn't know the Nexus 10 could get that hot in such a short time
20:05
@fbueckert Yeah, but gamer pressure should come first, so it's reassuring in a way
@BenBrocka Watch. They manage to fuck this up, too.

Q: Are dandelions flowers or weeds?

derpletteI picked a dandelion this morning, but rather than disappear it went into my inventory. So are they considered flowers or weeds? If I just leave them be, will they lower my town's happiness levels? Can they be bred to make different colors?

Q: Adding RCT3 to Steam

Dave CI just found out that Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Platinum was added to Steam. I bought the game years ago, and unfortunately lost the disk. Is there any way to add RCT3 to Steam w/o the disk?

@fbueckert I'd laugh so hard if they fuck it up and it sounds even more confusing than it already is
@BenBrocka As would I.
I don't understand how enough people saw the first Ghost Rider movie to warrant a second Ghost Rider movie
20:07
"Nope, we got rid of our DRM! Now you can trade any game you want, so long as it's not an XBone game!"
@fbueckert "If you want a console without DRM, we have a product for that: The Xbox 360."
@FEichinger I still can't believe they actually said that.
@fbueckert Well, I get where it's coming from. It's still ridiculous, though.
Microsoft is really bad at numbering things.
Next gen: "We're proud to release the Xbox...6! THAT'S RIGHT FUCK YOU SONY"
2
20:11
Ecks Backs
@Sterno 1, 360, One.
Clearly One is greater than 360!
After all, it's SPELLED OUT!
(I would say has higher ascii values, but I forget if letters are higher than numbers or not.)
I'm pretty sure somebody at Microsoft sorted the names by ASCII codes, looked at the result and said "Eh, good enough."
@MartinSojka it was @IanPugsley
jk :)
@Powerlord O = 79, 3 = 51. So O > 3.
1 = 49 in ASCII, A = 65, a = 97
20:13
Next gen: The XBox!!!1111one
You can calculate the rest, keeping in mind that 0 comes after 9.
I'd suggest "Xbox: we're sorry."
@MartinSojka Nah, that's what the next X360 special edition is called.
Bleh, whatevs. PC for the win
I'm also insanely amused by the fact that the developers of The Witcher 3 - a title presented on the Microsoft conference at E3 as being released for the XBone - won't actually be able to play their own game, unless it's the PC version. Because, you know, fuck Poland according to Microsoft. :D
20:21
@Powerlord Use EBCDIC instead. Letters end at E, numbers start at F
@MartinSojka Also, the makers of The Witcher series are part of the same company that owns GOG.com, a digital distribution site whose most touted feature is their lack of DRM.
:9968896 Spellcheck didn't say it was wrong.
@Ullallulloo And who launched The Witcher 2 with DRM.
@Ullallulloo Right, "toted" is a real word, it just means something different
because they're hypocrits.
@Powerlord hypocrites*
20:23
That one spellcheck wouldn't have said was right
Then again, spellcheck says "spellcheck" is wrong
3
@Powerlord It was removed in ten days though. =/
@Ullallulloo I'm pretty sure there was significant backlash, which caused the backpedaling.
@ShotgunNinja shoots you with a syringe gun
@fbueckert Probably.
20:26
If you can get the arc right, the Medic's syringe gun is actually pretty powerful, especially if it crits.
@BenBrocka They pulled that update.
Since like most fast shooting weapons, it has crits for like a second, which is like 8-10 syringes.
hippocrates*
@Powerlord Wait, crit isn't determined per shot?
@SaintWacko Not for syringe gun, minigun, or pistol.
Please remember your hippopotamus oath
@Ullallulloo Oh, it's no longer possible to download?
20:28
So, hypocrits are actually pretty powerful. Then again, any crits are pretty powerful.
@BenBrocka As far as I've heard.

Q: Are there any stats about skill ratings in Dota 2?

Yalla T.I just got told that if you search for recent games, your games are organized into skill brackets.

Q: Max over heal number flickering?

ScootalooI noticed when I was playing medic once I was healing a Heavy and I over healed him. His max (with over heal) is 450, but I noticed that when I was over healing him the number kept flickering from 449 to 450. Why? is this a bug or what is the problem. I nor him was taking any damage.

I'm bored. Is it time to go home yet?
I don't even know what to say to that.
It's just so completely ridiculous.
@Wipqozn I foresee a rather massive lawsuit on her hands for discrimination.
Never mind, she's already embroiled in one.
Gotta give her props for honesty, even if I think the attitude is utterly repugnant.
@fbueckert She's already facing one, which I now saw you noticed in your following message.
(expect the page not to load half the time)
> Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray.
There goes their sorta cool digital sharing thing too
20:50
@BenBrocka "Fine. You don't want our DRM? CAN'T SHARE YOUR GAMES NO MORE. HAPPY!?"
Granted, now it's on par with PS4.
It'll be interesting to see how Steam impacts digital releases going forward.
@fbueckert they really should have seen this coming. I guess they shit their pants when Sony said they wouldn't be doing any such thing
@BenBrocka They were banking on Sony kowtowing to the publishers, too.
Yeah. I don't think they calculated that well. I think used games are pretty huge in Japan
user20683
@BenBrocka there is effectively no PC market in Japan too
@BenBrocka From the many, MANY shops I saw a few years ago selling Super Famicom games, I believe so.
20:55
@WorldEngineer True, the DRM on a disc based game would seem pretty weird if you didn't play PC games
user20683
@fbueckert given that they only quit making it in Japan 10 years ago...
> BEN KUCHERA / 11 MINUTES AGO
I'm all over it.
Fucking seriously, fuck this guy
Whoa, I was just looking through the code for TF2's Prop Hunt... did you guys know that the Prop players can apparently do a DemoMan charge by hitting Reload?
Ben Kuchera Pre E3: MS is doing you a favor by restricting used games. They are single handedly saving gaming.
Post E3: Sony sure did wallop MS!
Today: YAY no DRM and restricting used games?
Oh wait, that's only if CHARGE is defined.
@BenBrocka Kuchera really said that?
20:58
@BenBrocka You should make an Xbone post about Kuchera.
@BenBrocka Where'd he post that?
Why has Penny Arcade not fired him yet like Ars Technica did?
