@Wipqozn Um...

@AshleyNunn That's what I'm thinking of apparantly.

@badp Unsure if I should but it.

It's missing a "best value" flag

@RedRiderX There is only one option, you doofus.

RedRiderX

Oops

Still needs a most popular flag then

Oh, btw, did you figure out that translation thing in the end, @badp?

@RedRiderX Oh god, I can't stop playing that Threes game.

Q: Mountain Natural Wonders

I started a game of Civilization 5 (BNW + G&K) and early on in the game I discovered a natural wonder called Cirro de Potosi, which is a mountain. When I discovered it, the advisor popped up and said that I gain happiness and get a benefit if the tile is worked (in this case +10 gold). I settled ...

Q: How long does Feast of the Exceptional Rose lasts?

Feast of the Exceptional Rose is currently going in Fallen London, but I can't find how long it lasts? I want to know, so I can figure whenever or not to use my Masquade now or wait to get more before getting a new companion/pet

Ben Brocka

@RedRiderX I love how "best value" is almost always >$50

RedRiderX

@BenBrocka And sometimes it actually is more expensive then another option

Ben Brocka

@RedRiderX yeah, especially if they converted from dollars to pounds or something the "best value" can be a poorer ratio

did they just toss psychic I wasn't watching

okay no they have it, just tossed the escape rope

Slow star day.

Whooo, I got a score of 2512 on Threes.

RedRiderX

@Yuki wat really?

I haven't gotten past 1000

FEichinger

@Sterno Blame me.

I slept through most of the day.

Ben Brocka

Everything is @FEichinger's fault

FEichinger

@BenBrocka That's not true! Everything that isn't related to stars or the content thereof is @Wipqozn's fault instead.

Yuki

@RedRiderX The trick is watching the next tile and make sure you don't have large areas of blue-only or red-only tiles.

Sterno

I keep agreeing with everything of @badp's I read today. This has to stop.

user15026

RedRiderX

Well not a new car

a new used car

@AshleyNunn Eh I guess yay

badp

FEichinger

@SaintWacko Damn you. I have work to do.

Ben Brocka

9:47 PM

@RedRiderX I was never sure what to call it

RedRiderX

@BenBrocka A "new to me" car?

Ben Brocka

yeah, I guess that works

FEichinger

"new to me" is already implied by "bought".

It's just "I bought a used car."

@WorldEngineer Dear Russian, a g and an n sound together like that? Rude.

Unionhawk

Krazer

@WorldEngineer did you mean Изгнание?

Ben Brocka

@Unionhawk you mean democracy? I haven't seen it on all day

user15026

@Krazer I suspect he has somehow ended up with a conjugation of some form, if he used google translate

Unionhawk

10:01 PM

@BenBrocka No, I mean, it's actually having an impact on something other than just the productivity of thousands.

SaintWacko

@AshleyNunn that does tend to happen

user15026

because the ый ending is for a specific case/tense, I am just missing which one

Krazer

@AshleyNunn adjective I think?

Ben Brocka

@Unionhawk well it's also making twitch and it's creator plenty of money from subs/ads too I'm sure

user15026

@Krazer Yes, I think you are right

user15026

10:02 PM

which means it was likely taking both the past tense of the word and some other junk into assumption

user15026

Because machine translation

Yuki

Those silly kids.

Ben Brocka

@Yuki that's great

now I want to put "wordbank" above the border or put a line under it to differentiate it from the selections...

RedRiderX

@BenBrocka Omg same here

Also dat comic font

But hey you want it to be approachable.

Krazer

@BenBrocka avclub.com/article/…

Yuki

10:11 PM

@RedRiderX Considering this comes across as a "fun" puzzle game, I think comic is actually appropriate.

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka I want to send out a search party to find that missing right border.

StrixVaria

@Yuki Comic Sans is never, ever the right font.

Ben Brocka

Q: Do graves decay?

I have a graveyard to bury my dead in, and although I'm pretty sure it was full earlier, it now has four empty plots. Do the graves eventually decay, or did I just look at it wrong?

user15026

Because they will wreck it. I am sure of it.

Ben Brocka

Now the instagram guys are going to be like "maaaaaaaaaaan we could have waited!"

Yuki

@StrixVaria Honestly, the whole "Ban Comic Sans" thing is stupid. There are situations in which Comic Sans is appropriate and there are situations in which it is inappropriate.

The problem is that so many people use it in inappropriate situations, it pisses other people to go overboard in trying to ban Comic Sans.

There's nothing wrong with it if you use it in the right situations much like any other font.

RedRiderX

@Yuki Yes that is very much the problem

just people misusing it.

It's not that you can't use it well

Yuki

@RedRiderX That should have no bearing on banning it from situations in which it is actually appropriate.

RedRiderX

10:20 PM

You just don't put it on a gravestone, for instance.

Ben Brocka

The more sensible point is there are simply better comic fonts. Like...well...take your pick: dafont.com/theme.php?cat=102

Comic sans was designed to be used at low-res for MS Bob

RedRiderX

@BenBrocka Hah yes that is true

Q: Does more trading posts mean more traders?

If I build more trading posts, will more trade boats show up? Seeing as trade boats are the only non-exhaustible source of stone and iron, I'd like to know how to make the most of them.

Q: What happens when I exhaust a mine/quarry?

After I use up all the materials in a mine or quarry, what happens to it? Does it just remain as an unusable chunk of land, or does it slowly recharge or decay, or something else entirely?

@BenBrocka Oh did they get to the name rater?

Ben Brocka

10:32 PM

@OrigamiRobot yes

Oddish, zubat and digrat have been named

Only Oddish has a nickname that I'm aware of, Cabbage

Grace Note

Well, Cabbage is as much its name as Digrat is the other name

StrixVaria

> "Bird Jesus" and DUX defeat Giovanni 06d 02h 53m 41s (Anarchy)
"Dig Rat" used Dig before picking up the Silph Scope 06d 02h 57m ??s

This is incredible.

Ben Brocka

yeah that was pretty embarassing

Grace Note

Though, granted, I guess x(araggbaj looks more like Cabbage than AAJST(???? looks like Digrat

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote Cabbage was named for the ingame name. Digrat was named for digging

Worst would've been dunking it.

Dig Rat can still use it as a STAB technically, if they are able to level it up.

Granted, it gets Hyper Fang which is, like, the bomb, in Gen 1, but that ain't in its movelist yet

That said, things can be said about how they managed to replace Thunderbolt instead of, say, Dig.
