14:00

now I feel silly for not remembering that dance

Yuuki

@Hakase Wow. I run multiple incrementals at once and I've never seen that problem.

Hakase

judging by the procexp info there wasn't even a problem

games

I played JULIA Among The Stars yesterday and the launcher has fullhd and hd resolution options, and it says the game saves are incompatible between the two versions

I wonder how

Asada Shino

O_o

Indeed, how can that be? xD

Hakase

idk

Asada Shino

Never would have guessed savedata would differ based on graphics options

Don't think I've ever seen anything like that

Yuuki

14:05

@Hakase ... huh?

Hakase

the fullhd screen looks half-empty with the interface in the middle of the screen

Asada Shino

Lol

So UI elements are not upscaled, but just stay the same size on 1080 compared to 720?

You'd think 1080 means you have more space to fit things on the screen :P

But if you have nothing else to show, I guess it makes sense, I don't really know what the game is about, so I dunno if there is much to show :P

Hakase

I figured the fullhd version would have bigger layout generated to make use of the extra space or something reasonable that would make sense and result in incompatible saves, but no

Asada Shino

What sort of game is it?

Hakase

it's a quest with some micromanagement of space ship's systems

mostly quest really

Asada Shino

14:09

Aha

Hakase

The Computer talks you through everything

Asada Shino

Then even that should technically not really make things incompatible

I doubt they'd make a different game for the full hd version

Hakase

robots all have different accents and also talk peculiarly about wtf's goin on

Asada Shino

or add different features for full hd

Haha, cool :P

Hakase

the story didn't seem interesting to me

Taisho

14:10

Hakase

the main character wakes up, computer says everything's fubar and you're the only survivor, but the main char is all "ok cool what do we do next"

Yuuki

System Shock 2?

Hakase

lol

haven't gotten to really play beyond the intro sequence of that

still trying

system shock may just be one of those classics that should stay there

like fallout 1 and 2

I just don't like those turn based games

Shadowrun looks very nice, but it's not my genre

Asada Shino

And FTL?

Not really any story to talk about though

Yuuki

@Hakase If you want to get the System Shock 2 experience, Bioshock is a good analogue.

Hakase

14:16

FTL was fantastic

I got hooked on it and spent lots of time playin

Asada Shino

Hehe :P

Same

Hakase

@Yuuki I just can't get past the intro because it says "Hello, the game has started. Now 20 years have passed, you are a well-known space military guy." in just 2 minutes

it just seems like a very detaching way of creating your character

feels like the creators don't care about their own plot for the game

I'll give it another try a bit later

now I'm playing Glitchspace

looks programmey

there was also another programmey game recently

hack'n'slash

yes I still gotta play through that

Asada Shino

Heard of Crypt of the Necrodancer? :P

Yuuki

So funny story. I woke up and it turns out I had a nosebleed while I was sleeping.

Asada Shino

@Yuuki Oww :( Clean sheets ._.

You okay?

You shouldn't punch yourself in your sleep!

Hakase

14:22

yes, been playin the crypt all night yesterday

Yuuki

@AsadaShino It's weird, I didn't bleed that much.

There wasn't even any on my pillow.

Asada Shino

O_o

Where'd it go then?

Hakase

Asada Shino

Hahaha

Yuuki

@AsadaShino It just kinda stayed in my nose.

Asada Shino

14:23

THAT kind of nosebleed :P

@Yuuki Scared to go out :P

Yuuki

I got up and it felt kinda hard to breathe through one nostril.

So I sorta picked at it and a sort of dried blood booger thing came out.

It was fairly recent too because it was still bright red.

Asada Shino

D:

Had a lewd dream... :p

Yuuki

I'm Asian, so I am predisposed to nosebleeding from perversion.

7

Asada Shino

Haha ^^;

Mystery solved

Yuuki

But I don't dream, at least I don't remember my dreams, so...

Taisho

14:26

Asada Shino

@Yuuki I can't remember any of my dreams from the last few months, but I used to remember dreams before that, so I think I do still dream, I just don't remember them, they're either not memorable enough or I don't sleep long enough to have them stored anywhere for any period of time

Toshinou Kyouko

you should have dream diary ~

Asada Shino

Hahaha, I'd rather not... I don't know if I want to write all of my dreams down... For certain... Reasons

Yuuki

@AsadaShino I don't even remember the last dream I had, it was so long ago. I have a faint notion of dreaming from about 13 years ago, but that's the latest.

Asada Shino

O_o

Hakase

14:31

ok Glitchspace is a nice programming logic learning game but I'm not into that

Yuuki

I normally just close my eyes, open them, and then find out several hours have passed.

Asada Shino

Well, from what I know, our dreams are our brains' way of processing the day's events and going through permutations of actions we could have taken and have taken, without the constraints of normal life

When I close my eyes I have to wait a few minutes before I can actually get to sleep... I wish I were able to just fall asleep without having to just lie there, being bored xD

At least it's comfy and warm :3

So that's nice

Yuuki

Well, I said that for the sake on conciseness.

Asada Shino

xD

Hakase

I know exactly why I don't want to write down any of my dreams

Asada Shino

14:33

So you're not a robot?

Hakase

the humanity is not ready

some folks say that sleep is when we actually learn stuff

Yuuki

@Hakase I guess that's why I'm an idiot...

Hakase

kinda requires specifying what exactly means "to learn" something

Asada Shino

Yeah

@Hakase Technically that is true

Yuuki

@AsadaShino Geez, ouch.

Hakase

14:35

:D

@AsadaShino how so?

Asada Shino

@Yuuki Didn't mean that in response to what you said, sorry <3

Yuuki

@AsadaShino I know. ;P

Hakase

those technicians, what do they mean?

Asada Shino

@Hakase Because in our sleep, our brains process the day's events and store this in longterm memory, if we can't process what we has happened and what we have heard/read, we won't 'learn' it, because it will just disappear from shortterm memory without being stored anywhere

Hakase

huh

Yuuki

14:37

@AsadaShino I think that's still theoretical though.

Hakase

I'm inclined to believe that sleep is when our brain does nothing serious, to get ready for the next day

the whole point of sleep is to rest

Yuuki

We know more about the ocean floor than we know about how our brains function.

Hakase

processing anything serious would be even more tiring

Asada Shino

@Hakase Then why do we dream?

Yuuki

And we know more about space than we do about the ocean floor.

@AsadaShino Why is there a Lifehacks.SE?

Both solid questions which make us question our humanity.

Asada Shino

14:38

@Yuuki Because the ocean floor is flat and can be observed, the neural networks in our brains and the interconnectivity and functions therein are a bit harder to observe :P

Hakase

@AsadaShino interesting fact − I don't dream until the last hours of my sleep

Asada Shino

@Yuuki Because LifeHacks are very handy tricks for everyday life? :P

Hakase

that's probably when the brain has already rested enough to want to entertain itself with some dreams

Asada Shino

@Hakase Possibly because you only remember the last few hours of your sleep? :P

Hakase

probably not

nhahtdh

14:39

Lifehack is probably for questions like: How do you open a one-way door to staircase from the other side with an attach?

Asada Shino

Hahaha

Hakase

I remember sleeping in a lot during summer as a kid and I've had freaking director's cut of adventures that lasted 3-4 hours

then I got up, got rid of unnecessary liquids and got back to sleep to see the continuation

Asada Shino

Bahaha xD

Hakase

that's how strong my dream game was back then

these days I don't have a lot of extra time to dream

just enough to get through the next day

Yuuki

So... @Hakase is the Charles Barkley of dreaming?

Hakase

14:42

gotta google that

Yuuki

Charles Barkley

Charles Wade Barkley (born February 20, 1963) is a retired American professional basketball player and current analyst on the television program Inside the NBA. Nicknamed "Chuck", "Sir Charles", and "The Round Mound of Rebound", Barkley established himself as one of the National Basketball Association's (NBA's) most dominating power forwards. He was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 5th pick of the 1984 NBA Draft. He was selected to the All-NBA First Team five times, the All-NBA Second Team five times, and once to the All-NBA Third Team. He earned eleven NBA All-Star Game appearances and...

Yuuki

Ah, capitalization matters.

Stupid case-sensitivity.

If that's the case, it should be Wiki:

Hakase

oh really?

Taisho

14:44

Hakase

it does

anyway, sleep enough and stay healthy

nhahtdh

(I lived in the dorm during my uni days, and they use transponders for the elevator, the door to the cluster and the door to your room. Everyone usually leave the fire exit door open, so I can bypass the elevator, but in case that it is closed, I just use an attach to push the ledge in. Depending on how long your arm is, you can reach the lever and open the cluster door when you lay down. I only have no way to bypass the door to my room without transponder, which is good)

Hakase

from my experience, when I start dreaming, it's usually a sign that I've slept enough, but it doesn't mean you gotta get up the moment you start dreamin coz dreams are fun yo

Yuuki

@Hakase By the way, you should totally play this:

Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden

Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden is a freeware role-playing video game developed by Tales of Game's Studios, presented as an unofficial sequel to Barkley Shut Up and Jam! and Space Jam. It features traditional JRPG-styled battles and dungeons. == Gameplay == The player controls ex-NBA player Charles Barkley and a handful of secondary characters. A host of ex- and current NBA players also feature as NPCs. The game's battle system, dubbed the "B.A.B.B.Y. System," is influenced by many commercial JRPGs. Enemies appear on the game field and may run at the player and attack if the player moves into...

@Hakase Vending machine coffee is particularly bad.

I don't wanna go back and find that frame and take a shot

Yuuki

Do you mean the canned coffee stuff they show in anime?

yes

Yeah, that stuff is not designed to taste good, it's designed to keep you awake, IIRC.

Yuuki

It's a bit early, but some people are already putting it into the "great examples of games are art" category.

Although I feel it should be more along the lines of "games are social commentary".

Hakase

yeah

more like that

Toshinou Kyouko

Journey is my fave 'art' game

Yuuki

Yeah, people have trouble distinguishing between "is art" and "is social commentary". They're not mutually exclusive, but they're also not equivalent.

Hakase

:f still haven't played it

loving the crypt of the necrodancer soundtrack

dan's da man

installing Talos Principle

people say it's fine, not great like Portal, but better that those average puzzle games

not sure it is tho

gotta see for myself

I thought I read somewhere that NecroDancer supports cutsom music

@nhahtdh You could always upload the image.

I do that with Danbooru since they forbid direct linking too.

nhahtdh

Do you have a way to upload it without dragging it to the desktop/save it somewhere?

Yuuki

@nhahtdh Should be a second tab that says "from the web".

Hakase

@Yuuki nah that doesn't work often too

nhahtdh

16:26

If you can't hotlink, then it is likely that you can't paste the URL

Yuuki

@Hakase Weird, I've done it with Danbooru and nobody ever comments "image not found" on those.

And Danbooru prevents hotlinking.

Dunno, it depends on how they check the referrer

I have to say that I'm a little disappointed to see that no one's hairstyle has changed.

Well, Sora seems like she has slightly longer hair. Just barely though.

nhahtdh

17:12

The hair style is the soul of the character, people won't recognize if the hair style suddenly changes without any notice

Frosteeze

Not like your hairstyle change dramatically in the real world either...at least for me

Yuuki

@nhahtdh Change of hairstyle reflects change of personality, which is almost certainly going to occur when going from pre-teen to high-school/college student.

I'm just saying I would be happy if one of them had a different hairstyle.

I definitely don't want to see everyone sporting a 'fro, to make a ridiculous example.

@Frosteeze I had much longer, shoulder-length hair in my teens. I cut it shorter these days.

Invisible, Inc.

ooh Tales from the Borderlands

great one

why do games even bother to install redistibutable stuff like c++ 2013 or whatever

these are supposed to be detected automatically on installation startup and installed silently

Yuuki

@Hakase At this point, it's a tradition.

Hakase

we ended up with every game installer asking to install the same redistributables over and over

just freaking put them in the binary folder of the game already

stop asking gah

@Hakase are you using steam? I think you have to download something to disable it

Hakase

I'm using torrents :p

I'll buy whatever I like later

first I gotta see if it's worth buying

Swapper looks like a worthy candidate so far

Frosteeze

Cheets

Hakase

I'd really like to try Elite: Dangerous but it's not on torrents or at least I couldn't find it there, and the price is freaking outrageous in roubles

Frosteeze

steamcleaner.tikione.org/en so you dont have to dl the distributables or have it ask you to install it again and again

course this only works for steam games not for individual games like you'd get from torrents

Hakase

I'm not concerned about space if that's what it does

Taisho

Logan M

I can if you can tell me how to do it. But I'm busy for most of the next hour.
