Because twitter totally works that way

@Unionhawk Everything would be tagged with #inane and I would be happy.

Nice!

The outfit for Time Mages in Bravely Default is one of the silliest things I've seen in awhile.

You know what's the worst thing in the world?

@Wipqozn People who make "Am I the only one...?" posts?

Ordering food over the phone when the person answering the phone doesn't speak the same language you speak very well.

@Wipqozn That is incredibly frustrating.

Yes, yes it is.

@RedRiderX The Helix Fossil

Oh okay

They consult it for guidance

Ullallulloo

@RedRiderX The Helix Fossil is one of the two fossils from Mt. Moon, notably the one that they picked up and keep trying to use at inappropriate times.

ah okay

Very interesting.

Occasionally, they ask the S.S. Ticket for help too

Holy crap, G.SE is staying down for a while.

CC RPG / Roguelike people

> Ultimate Space Commando (USC) is an old-school turn-based strategy game that focuses on actual field tactics as a small group of elite commandos become engaged in a deadly conflict with a yet unknown, but rather ravenous species of aliens. Make relevant strategic choices, develop tactics and equip your soldiers as you see fit, try to survive and give the aliens hell in the single-player Campaign. Build and customize 4-man squads...

I wish somewhere would just deliver me dessert.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Play Letterpress with me godammit

And of course, all the bakeries aren't open because its sunday or whatever

user15026

damn it

user15026

I would have even left my house if there was cake available

Ok so a I got a young relative of mine into Nox.

So they apparently played it non-stop for the past two days.

They got a good distance.

And through an auto-save snafu they are now stuck being dead and have to start all overagain

10:35 PM

@AshleyNunn you could always go to a fast food joint. Or DQ.

I guess that's how you teach the kiddies about multiple save states.

And it's also mildly amusing. :P

user15026

@MBraedley I think I am going to take a break from my feminism paper, let my bacon defrost (bacon and pierogies for dinner), and walk to the grocery store, because then I can get sour cream for the pierogies, and some sort of dessert

How late are the grocery stores open on Sunday out there?

Depends if it's a 24 hour place or not too.

user15026

@MBraedley The closest one to me is open til midnight every day

Most of the smaller stores close at 5 or arent open sundays

Q: When does the "Service to the Empire Event" End?

0

Currently it says "1 Days" in the game but most things in the game count down in smaller increments so if it says "1 minute" it can be anywhere from 60 to 119 seconds but is actually always more than one minute in length. Using that logic, "1 Day" could be anything from 24-47 hours or, if they d...

@Braiam Oh those guys

I remember them

@RedRiderX although I'm struggling to find confirmation on Italian news sites

Q: What are the names of the opponents and other features of the Trials?

It is possible to spectate Trials games. There is no direct way to see which trial is being played, but each trial has a unique opponent whose name is visible when spectating. What is the name of the opponent in each trial? While we're at it, what about other characteristics of each trial that a...

"if you want to avoid this, make us mods" ... Right.

@Braiam oh. lol.

@badp Inappropriate username they haven't been active in a while, but still

11:25 PM

@FAE that's kinda tame, but I can "anonymize" it if you'd like

his cookies are certainly long gone anyway

@badp Compared to some we've had, yeah, but I thought we still didn't allow it for actual handles

also compared to some we still have

John the Green

@badp I smell more work for the new mods.

Guh, I want to like Titanfall more than I do.

@FAE Ah have you tried the demo?

Or seen the vids?

11:34 PM

@RedRiderX I've been playing the beta this weekend.

The parkour stuff seems pretty well done on some maps

@FAE Ah okay

@RedRiderX Yeah, the on-foot mobility is pretty neat.

It's just not really my type of shooter though, so I'm finding it hard to enjoy, even though my friends are liking it.

@FAE Ah how so?

@RedRiderX I'm more of an arcade shooter person, like Unreal Tournament kind of thing.

Too much of a COD/BF vibe?

@FAE Ah okay

Q: How do i use the Assassin's Creed 2 GotY Edition DLC?

I got Assassin's Creed 2 Game of the Year Edition for the 360 and the slip inside says it comes with DLC which was the reason why i brought it. when i got Borderlands Game of the Year Edition for the PS3 there was an extra option in the PS3's main menu which took me to the installers for the DLC....

@FAE Have you played Brink?

@RedRiderX I actually have a bit of fun with those shooters. For the first two weeks or so.

And then it just gets boring.

@RedRiderX Yeah, I've never really played CoD/Halo or anything, and this type of playstyle and stuff is just not my thing as much.

Yeah I could see that

@GnomeSlice Heh

@RedRiderX Heh?

11:37 PM

Playing it nowadays would require other players right?

@GnomeSlice No because it's apparently a nightmare to try to play multiplayer, some friends of mine got it and it was awful to try to connect.

Does anyone still play it?

Oh really?

@RedRiderX It's not that old.

@GnomeSlice Yeah but it seems like it didn't get a super huge following.

@GnomeSlice Steam tags are "Dead Game" "Dead Multiplayer" and "Dead Community"...

11:38 PM

6 more Antique Mysteries!

@FAE Oh wow

@FAE The last spike of activity it had was the last time it was on free weekend.

@FAE Also Gary Busey, Underrated, and Buyers Remorse

All of which I just flagged.

@GnomeSlice My friends definitely had the latter.

Doesn't make it an appropriate or useful tag.

11:39 PM

@GnomeSlice I hate that it keeps tags you flagged as "tags you recently used"

@FAE Ugh, really?

@GnomeSlice Yeah, on the right under "Apply a tag you've used on other products", it has tags I've flagged :/

@FAE Weird, isn't doing that for me.

Brink is shit.

@FEichinger I'm sure I'd enjoy it.

Also, huh, none of the tags I added to Metal Drift are showing up.

11:42 PM

@FEichinger but it did spawn using brink as a verb

I guess somebody else has to add them too

=[

Q: Is there another way to get a water dragon egg?

0

I know you can buy an egg but can you get it any other way? I've been told that attacking a lvl 8 or higher lake with your great dragon may give you a water dragon egg, I have attacked dozens and never seen a dragon egg.

dragons-of-atlantis

BRINK has never had enough players.

And the potential it had was completely canned for a generic multiplayer.

@FEichinger And it's still like 20 euro, no way I'd pay that much for that game at this point.

I suggest you skip Brink.

11:44 PM

I agree with @badp, despite never playing Brink

I played half of it.

The best part about it is the counters on the HUD, if my memory doesn't fail me.

@GnomeSlice Maybe they fixed it, but it's still showing them for me. :(

The counters are real sexy.

There was another shooter that came out around the same time, what was it

Oh yeah, Bulletstorm

BRINK had an interesting backstory that could've been turned into much more - and they hyped it as much more than the generic multiplayer hold-this-point-then-the-next crap it ended up being.

11:46 PM

That one was meant to be silly

@FEichinger Nothing next to the COUNTERS.

The digits actually scroll!

@FAE I heard that was really good

although they don't scroll through all of the digits.

@GnomeSlice I played the demo at the time and remember thinking it was entertaining but not like, full price entertaining

Pretty sure that's not BRINK you're thinking of. But then again, I haven't touched it in ages.

11:47 PM

I guess Kerbal Space Program still has world class counters.

@FAE That was kinda fun to play.

And they abandoned it immediately after release. We got a DLC that was already in the works, and that was it. They didn't even bother with customization DLC that they were fully prepared for.

Although it got repetitive fast.

@badp KSP has the best counters

Q: Are traps supposed to have false positives now?

0

When checking my trap lines for rabbits, I keep finding traps that are not shaking, but are in the "down" position; they look kind of squarish instead of rounded as well. The interaction option is "check trap", but there's never a rabbit inside in that case. Is this a bug or glitch of some kind, ...

Q: Will homeless spiders found a new den or just sit forever?

When I was playing today, lightning struck in a dense forest full of spider dens.

Unfortunately, I died a few nights later; would t...

@Frank Yeah, I remember it had the whole "skillshot" thing going on, but I imagine it may have suffered from the same thing MadWorld did for that, i.e. they lost novelty and became more of a grind for pointsfest.

worst steam tag

@GnomeSlice ugh

I... really hate this instructor.

functioning-toilet on portal made me laugh, I'll admit.

I still flagged it though.

So much emphasis on drawing database diagrams and textual analysis for database design.

And I have to do it all in Word.

user15026

11:51 PM

@Yuki That sounds annoying

@AshleyNunn What's even worse is that I have to put little circles around each attribute and label them with their corresponding entities. Normally, not a problem. But the Word document has so many attributes so friggin' close together, I literally have no space.

I'm really tempted to just print this off and do it by hand, turn it in, and tell the instructor "Screw you, I've done database work back at my old job and we never did these diagrams in Word or by hand".

Q: Is there any pattern to the Spider Queen's movements?

0

I witnessed the birth of a Spider Queen ridiculously close to my base. I managed to come back later and she'd wandered off, but then she wandered back a few days later so I ran off again. Does she stay in a given area? Wander the whole map at random? Will she vanish after a while or stay on the m...

"And textual analysis? HAH."

@Yuki An ERD is a great thing.

Textual analysis...I don't even know what that is.

Or turn in this unreadable piece of shit:

Note that I had to put in double spacing myself, the document wasn't originally double-spaced.

11:57 PM

@Yuki Ew.

That's stupid.

@Frank Yes, that's textual analysis in a nutshell.

I hate this class.

If it was all database normalizations and learning SQL, I'd be happy.

@Yuki I get why they'd want you to figure out a db design from the requirements, but that's making the assumption that everything you need can be derived from the requirements.

But she pushes this textual analysis bullcrap so hard, it's annoying as f--k.

Even then, I wouldn't have a problem with the textual analysis if she spaced the words enough so I could make it readable.
