@user56 That specific diet is also not able to sustain your vital function for any longer amount of time (say, 50 or more years).
 
@MartinSojka Ketogenic diets are quite sustainable.
 
@user56 Quoting Wikipedia, because I'm too lazy and have no time to cite the proper scientific papers: "Long-term use of the ketogenic diet in children increases the risk of retarded growth, bone fractures and kidney stones.[7] The diet reduces levels of insulin-like growth factor 1, which is important for childhood growth."
 
@MartinSojka Oh, yes, that makes sense.
But that's not about sustainability, that's about suitability for children.
 
That's the thing. You can survive quite healthily just on a diet of only potatoes, milk products and eggs. From your childhood into your grave many decades later.
... though you'll probably hate potatoes and cheese by the time you turn three.
 
A not unimportant consideration.

Q: What is proxy farming?

Davidyesterday I was playing and a Singed said that he would proxy farm. Didn't know what that means but I saw how he died a lot and feed top hard. He had a lot of minions, but.. What is proxy farming? Proxy farm is worth? How can help this at our team?

 
9:19 AM
My badges are delimited!
 
Damn all you Rogue Legacy players, the more i see that game the more i feel tempted to buy the game!
 
Really? Because all I see is some nice ideas, but uninteresting (for me) and uninspired actual gameplay.
For a game which has "legacy" in the title and the idea of your heirs continuing your work it has precious little in the game mechanics which support the theme.
 
true, guess your choice for next generation should have a higher chance of inherit traits of the last char, so your choice each time affected the next generation
 
9:51 AM
I'd like if your family would influence more than that. Choosing your spouse, "generating" a random number of children, your brothers and sisters and cousins having their own competing family trees, having the possibility of your family tree to die out (so you have to switch to a side line) and so on.

Q: What, if anything, sets Rogue Legacy apart from other Roguelikes?

12:03 PM
Dullest chat day ever
 
 
@fredley It'd be less dull if you were in on Night Vale jokes. Clearly you need to work on that.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Who or what is Night Vale?
 
@fredley It is a podcast of the community radio station from a small town in which Very Strange Things occur regularly; think public radio from the twilight zone.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Riiiight

Here is a Sample.
And here is another:
 
This is not bad
As a Scorpio I feel offended
 
@fredley Vile, vile Scorpio.

@fredley Also, at least you don't have massive food allergies.
@fredley start from the beginning - there's about ~13 hours of backlog to catch up on at the moment (a year), and there's something of a running narrative.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Am doing so

...how does an oil field just disappear
 
@StrixVaria YES
 
@StrixVaria I am sad I have watched all of this show
 
@fredley I know, I am so jealous of him getting to see it all for the first time
 
Why are we talking about 'watching' a podcast? It's confusing.
 
12:25 PM
@StrixVaria You are getting right into the heart of the shows best run.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah. I only watched it over the last two weeks and I'm still jealous
@user56 Read more carefully
 
@user56 The topic of discussion has changed to Arrested Development.
 
When did that happen?
 
@fredley Oh, well then I am jealous of you as well.

@user56 ^^ Right about there.
 
Ah, I've never seen AD, so I wouldn't know that was a reference, would I.
 
This show is so good.
 
@user56 Advice: watch it
 
@user56 I'd suggest fixing that.
@fredley One thing to note is that AD supports repeat viewing more than most comedies.
 
Could've known that was coming.
 
12:26 PM
@user56 Best American show I've ever seen. Comes close to British comedy.
 
Because of things like foreshadowing jokes.
(i.e. going back to spot all of the Buster/Hand/Seal/Claw jokes over the course of season 1)
 
Unfortunately I now have to go to work instead of watching the next episode :(
 
The wordplay is just epic in scope
Loose seal? Lucille?
 
@StrixVaria Is this your first time watching AD?
 
Gob/Job/Gobias etc. etc.
@user56 Why the separate account?
 
12:29 PM
What separate account?
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, it is, and I am jealous of him for it.
 
@user56 Oh, it's the same account, just different name
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I wish I could erase my memory and watch it from scratch.
 
@OrigamiRobot I can kick you in the head until you forget if you like?
 
@fredley You don't even have feet.
 
12:33 PM
But I'm going to have to delete that
Before it gets flagged...
 
@fredley @kalina is rubbing off on you. She is a bad influence y'know.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz @kalina is not rubbing off on me
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I thought we were friends and yet you hold such a terrible opinion of me! cry
 
@fredley Mhmm. Whatever you say.
 
@fredley what did you say?
 
12:35 PM
@kalina Refuting @LessPop_MoreFizz
 
that isn't what you said
 
@kalina He thinks there's rubbing going on between us.
 
well he is a pervert
perhaps he imagines us rubbing against each other

@kalina I know
What a creep
 
@kalina Constant deletion of statements which could be read as double entendre's (or just outright filth) before they can be committed to posterity via stars? That is a behavior that ought not to spread. Therefore, if you are influencing others to do so, you are a bad influence.

@badp Doesn't look like it yet
 
@badp Usually on a Thursday, no?
 
no idea but Thursday being the 4th makes that day rather a good candidate
 
12:43 PM
Or a rather bad one - lotta people who work at Valve gonna wanna take the day off.
 
badp's birthday is proved to be an excellent day to start steam sales in
 
And I'd imagine a sale is an 'all hands' sort of thing.
 
Why? I'd think you could set it and forget it
 
@badp Oh good, you've reminded us in time that @AshleyNunn can bake you a cake. And by you I mean all of us.
 
@badp this is mean
 
12:44 PM
they'll maybe log onto work remotely to adjust the usual game selling for $.01
Instead of $9.99
 
I imagine that Valve has a big red button with "SALE" written on it
and somebody just hits the button
 
@Tim that's a meaning of 'you' I wasn't previously aware of
 
@kalina and then all of the support staff work lots of overtime.
 
@kalina Huh, I thought it'd be more complicated than that... but also doable weeks in advance

12:45 PM
but duolingo's been confusing me with the various different 'you's in German so that's fine

@kalina What other user
 
@badp Sie can be singular or plural. Du is only singular. Sie can also mean "she" or "they".
It's simple.

you should post a question on gaming, so I can downvote it
 
Those of you who have been following along in the documentary know about the design vs. money tension we’ve had on this project since the early days. Even though we received much more money from our Kickstarter than we, or anybody anticipated, that didn’t stop me from getting excited and designing a game so big that it would need even more money.

I think I just have an idea in my head about how big an adventure game should be, so it’s hard for me to design one that’s much smaller than Grim Fandango or Full Throttle. There’s just a certain amount of scope needed to create a complex puzzle s

Q: How can I pass in this Fairy Chest Room?

Rodrigo Costa Sorry for the blurry thing (trait). I tried to use the shout, but it didn't kill these enemies.

 
I just read "How can I piss on this ..." ...
 
@strix sie meaning all the things strikes me as the opposite of simple
 
@badp It doesn't mean all the things. Just "she", "they" and formal "you".
 
1:05 PM
@badp It's kind of awkward at first, but it's conjugated differently for "she" vs. "you/they". Then in written German it's capitalized for "you" but not in other cases.
In spoken German you have to use context, but it's usually pretty obvious.
 
Yes, the difference between 'you' and 'they' isn't terribly difficult
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz yeahhhhh I read that. Working on 4? projects at once yet they majorly mismanaged funds for one game, which got 8x it's funding goal. Not sure how well that's going to turn out
 
In Dudebro, 'dude' is used for all persons. Much better
Sometimes 'bro' as well
 
But never brodude. This is a common newbie mistake.

@BenBrocka Isn't this the game EA is refusing to fix and yet still selling?

@badp yes!
 
@GraceNote Probably because I had said "cat thing".
 
@OrigamiRobot Yes
 
One of the 5 words I know in Japanese comes in handy!
 
1:19 PM
@StrixVaria Also because it is a cat thing.
 
@StrixVaria Neko (Means Tiger)
 
@fbu You see that? That's kalina saying that yes, she's 100‰ innocent aka 90% guilty
 
@StrixVaria Oh, I guess you can still do it. The process is just convoluted.
 
@fbueckert Yeah. Sounds like a not very exciting diablo clone set in the Spore world, which was really only exciting years before it was released
EA kind of fucked up the Spore franchise in every way possible. Though I think the main game itself was still a good seller
@OrigamiRobot I think they did finally fix it
 
1:22 PM
@BenBrocka To be fair, Maxis overhyped the absolute shit out of it.
And delivered something nowhere near what they promised.
 
> Speaking to Polygon, an Electronic Arts representative confirmed that Darkspore reached a peak playerbase of 55 users over the last week across all digital distribution services and on Windows PC.
So not quite that low, but still pathetic
bet more people are online playing the original Unreal Tournament (possibly Unreal) right now
 
Outlook 2013 is so much harder to read than the previous version. And making your menu choices all caps is stupid.
 
@BenBrocka That's only... what, twice the number of players as SimCity?
 
Yeah, looks like they fixed Darkspore
@Powerlord Man SimCity. After people stopped bitching about it I completely stopped hearing about it. Some people before launch were super excited but I'm not sure I ever heard from anyone playing that more than a month later

The proper fix would be a patch to remove all DRM. Now, this being EA ...
 
Gotta love the "screenshot" on this blog post

Here's another German one.
 
@Wipqozn It's Dragon Castle, just outside Bonn. I've walked past it.
 
@Powerlord I was at one presentation once where the laptop had problems running the software to present with and there was no time to re-compile it. So the presentation was done in VIM, on the "source code" of the actual presentation. Nobody much cared.
 
Popular spot for weddings, if you're filthy, filthy rich
 
@fredley Yeah, you are correct then.
 
@fbueckert Yeah, that's sort of disappointing on it's own; to some PR issues the best thing you can do is shut up and then the media/consumers look crazy if they keep complaining

@Wipqozn Lichtenstein Castle
 
@fredley Correct.
 
@Wipqozn This game is fun
 
@Wipqozn hey it's wolfenstein in white
 
@Powerlord that's actually kind of impressive
 
1:28 PM
@BenBrocka I agree. Every time someone at EA opened their mouth to say something about SimCity, it would get refuted and provably false within a day.
I can't say I like it, but EA was smart by refusing to talk about it anymore.
 
Identify this castle questions are offtopic on the bridge @Wipqozn

@fbueckert Keeping quiet is the best way to deal with fan outrage about your game design.
 
@Ben it's impressive he has so much control on the HTML but can't use img
I think one of his previous posts even had button elements
 
@fbueckert Smart but nasty
 
1:30 PM
@Wipqozn No, the best way is to say, "We done fucked up. We're sorry. We'll fix it."
 
MS is probably about to do the same, more or less, with the Xbox One
 
@fbueckert That only works if you plan to fix it, which EA obviously doesn't.
 
I seriously doube Ballmer is going to go out and talk to people about Xbox One as much as Mattrick
 
This is the equivalent of, "Your opinion matters nothing. All that does is our profitability, so buy the stupid game, sheep."

The is a phenomenon consisting of the urge to defecate while visiting a bookstore. Originating in Japan, it is named for the woman who first publicized such an urge. Origin The term receives its name from Mariko Aoki, an otherwise little-known Japanese woman who contributed an essay in 1985 to the magazine ' (which means "Book Magazine"). In that essay, she related how she came to the realization that for some years, walking around a bookstore inevitably made her want to go to the restroom. The editors of the magazine received reports of other readers who had similar experiences, and name...

> Each of the suits on a deck of cards represents the four major pillars of the economy in the middle ages: heart represented the Church, spades represented the military, clubs represented agriculture, and diamonds represented the merchant class.
