How would it even work? Couldn't the players just decide not to listen to the commander?
 
I think the commander does various things like spotting enemies from the air, giving players extra radar indicators, and whatnot. Not sure
 
@Sconibulus They could, but they'd probably lose.
 
@Sconibulus The commander controls certain types of resources
 
(AVGN has done 15 minutes on Big Rigs.Over The Road Racing)
 
Heck, in Natural Selection, I vaguely recalled that the marine commander controlled where the marine respawn areas were.
 
8:03 PM
@Sconibulus Depends on the game. For Nuclear Dawn, the commander builds support buildings.
Like respawn points and turrets.
Also, the commander does researches and stuff. It's essentially like an RTS but you don't have control over the units.
 
Oh god why
 
@fredley Sooooo dumb.
 
> Jump through the tiles and get to 2048!
 
@fredley Not a proper hybrid of Flappy Bird and 2048. It's almost entirely Flappy Bird with a different score display.
Such disappoint.
 
8:06 PM
waits patiently for Flappy 2048 Doge
 
Flappy bird 2048 doge nirvana will come
 
@fredley what happens when you get to 2048?

Q: How does experience count when high-level and low-level players in the same party in Path Of Exile?

NecronomicronSo I am 42th lvl now, what if I will start to play with another 1st lvl player from the beginning, and if I will just stay near and won't kill mobs, will he get penalties anyway (don't care about penalties to me)? And if he will, how many (compared to if he would play alone)? I've read the articl...

 
@Sconibulus Only one way to find out!
 
Actually two
1. Get to 2048 yourself
2. Wait for someone else to get to 2048
 
8:09 PM
F12
score = 2047
 
3. screw with the game's code since it's js
 
or something
 
Also that
 
Oh dear. AVGN is also reviewing new versions of Big Rigs that most other vidoes on the topic ignored afaik
In one of the versions the opponent moves.
 
@fredley Ask Arqade!

Q: Where can I find Paz?

GmoneyrocksMore specifically what building is she in? Or what general direction is the area she's in?

Q: What happens when your score reaches 2048?

SconibulusIn the new game Flappy 2048 what happens when your score reaches this magic number, and through what colors does your tile change during its journey?

 
Actually, I think I am going to delete my account now. Aren't there real games we could be asking questions about?

@JasonBerkan Big Rigs Over The Road Racing
 
@JasonBerkan No; developers are too busy making Flappy Bird and 2048 clones.
 
@badp Exactly.
 
@JasonBerkan I do have a new game to play this weekend probably... space engineers or something? My brother gifted it to me
 
8:16 PM
Well many of the non flappy 2048 devs are probably at or reading liveblogs of GDC
 
I also need to play more KSP, I keep failing my crash-into-Mun mission
 
Did Dark Souls 2 on steam just take a massive price drop?
 
@MichaelFrank Well, the pre-order was for $49.99 USD, IIRC.
Not including tax, of course.
 
Ahh, I must be looking at a different region here at work.
 
8:21 PM
@BenBrocka Do they still allow anonymous claims?
 
Probably. But at least people won't get money while they wait to action on your dispute, and they're allegedly going to make sure creators who what's being content ID'd so they don't mistakenly make claims
I still have a claim from "AdRev for Rights Holder"
 
What upside is there for anonymous claims? I can see a lot of problems with trolling and whatnot, but what are the upsides for anonymous claims other than "take it down quickly through crowdsourcing or whatot"?
 
I have zero idea why they allow anonymous/masked claims
I hope they have an actual report abuse tool now or soon, because there isn't one currently
Going to try their allegedly improved audio swap. Audio swap in theory lets you take out copyrighted audio, but it used to do it rather poorly and would possibly desync audio
Fortunately it lets you save the edited video as a separate vid so you can test it without breaking the original
 
8:38 PM
@MichaelFrank Why, what's the price now?
 
@Powerlord Well, I saw it yesterday at $71.99 on Steam at home, and today at $49.99 on the website at work. But I'm thinking I've just hit two different geolocation websites.
 
@MichaelFrank It might have been a special package.
Like Dark Souls + Dark Souls 2.
 
Nah, it wasn't packaged.
 
I've not been on Gaming for a while. Doge2048 and Flappy2048? I'm gonna stay off for a bit longer.
 
Dark Souls II is preorderable through steam for € 49,99.
 
8:42 PM
terraria pc update teaser
 
@Arperum Kinda glad I live in the US now.
Except for the whole political situation and the thing about healthcare.
 
@tombull89 Just wait for for FlappyDoge2048. The universe will implode.
 
But games are cheaper!
 
Weird... steam on my phone still says it's 71.99USD
 
@Yuki also gun control, and the income gap, and the creationists and and
 
8:44 PM
@Yuki About social security things: I am eligible for a social loan thing (really cheap loan for a house, would be an interest of about 1,6%) The only problem is that the specific government service ran out of his money for 2014 yesterday...
 
2 mins ago, by Yuki
But games are cheaper!
 
Yes, they ran out of money budgetted for the whole year in LESS then three months.
 
@BenBrocka wat
 
@Arperum financial year or calendar year
 
@KevinvanderVelden Calendar year.
 
8:45 PM
If financial year they still ran out in... 6 months?
Ooh that's just embarrassing
 
@Arperum and @KevinvanderVelden have such similar mini-Gravatars, I often confuse the two of them.

@spugsley SPUGS
 
GREEK YOGURT IS FUCKING GOOD
 
@spugsley LEY
 
8:46 PM
Yup, and currently politics are starting with major mudslinging because voting time in may.
@spugsley HI
 
@KevinvanderVelden People's attitudes about guns and gun control are more of a problem, IMO.
 
@OrigamiRobot very true
A lot of americans apparently see guns as an extension of their penis, and boy are their actual penises small for the amount of compensation they do
 
There has been a whole thing about what last-name combination should be allowed, and how a child should have his name default to his dads lastname or to a combination of dad-mom, and the consequenses for family names in later generations and so on.
 
Or well, a "lot". Mostly the ... NRA? gun lobbying peoples and people who support it
 
Gun lobbying is insane. Like literally insane.
 
8:48 PM
And in the meantime money for social loans runs out...
</rant>
 
Gun lobbyists are so extreme, it's not even funny.
 
@Yuki I had mine first.
 
I like guns, but the NRA is garbage.
 
@Yuki find me a better one then!
 
8:49 PM
I got tired of the pony and the happy dragon is awesome
 
@Yuki It's actually a little funny.
 
There are, seriously, gun lobbyists that are trying to get rocket launchers available for everyone.
Rocket launchers.

Q: The Chryssalids! They're everywhere! How do I survive the Site Recon mission?

Jason BerkanDuring my last game, my troops were whisked off to Newfoundland and forced to kiss a cod. Oh yeah - they also had to deal with a whale infested with Chryssalids. During the mission, you have a limited time to move your troops from one end of the map to another, while an apparently unlimited num...

 
@Yuki Once they succeed in legalizing these, they'll start with the plan for nukes.
 
@Lazers A real game appears!
 
8:50 PM
"There is no gun show loophole. If you buy a gun from a private seller, you don't have to have a background check because it's a private sale."
YES THANK YOU
YOU JUST DESCRIBED WHAT A LOOPHOLE IS
 
@BenBrocka Redigit has been going crazy with updates lately.
 
@Yuki but rocket launchers are super usefull and practical for hunting!
 
@Arperum Which is cool, makes up for the...year or two? or was it more? of zero work on PC after they promise frequent major updates
 
@KevinvanderVelden Hunting what? Dragons? Tanks? or morons?
 
The game was worth asking price upon release no question, but it was still a bit lame to say that then suddenly nothing
 
8:52 PM
@BenBrocka The guy just got burned out + suddenly rich I guess. And is now back at it with a renewed passion.
 
@Arperum well... they were seriously considering a guy who shot his friend in the face with a shotgun as a potential president, they've got morons applenty
 
+ discussion with the team I guess, since only one of them remains and all the other original devs have changed.
 
@Arperum PRobably that and working out the console plans-- I know someone did the porting but I'm sure they had to do more work than "here's the source code have fun"
 
@Arperum AFAIK, the whole team was just two people.
 
@BenBrocka In theory the part where they ported to xbox shouldn't have given much problems, since it's made in xna.
@OrigamiRobot Three.
 
8:54 PM
@OrigamiRobot What if you were born a gun?
 
The change in opponents when Hearthstone went out of beta is interesting. My first two enemies in the Arena just now were truly terrible, one Mage coined out a Fireball to the face on turn 3.
 
I think the console port had new content out of the gate though
 
@BenBrocka Absolutely true.
Does anyone want to start some multiplayer starbound thing for a bit? I want to properly try out the game, but don't want to play it alone right now.
 
Don't have it myself, been avoiding games that will take a lot of time until I burn some backlog and do some productive stuff
 
@BenBrocka I got it as a gift. My backlog is rather huge too.
 
9:05 PM
starting right now
 
The third enemy rage quit after a while and just let the timer run out each time. The fourth one was a rather bad Priest that played a minion that is useless after being silenced directly after he saw me taking my owl back onto my hand with a brewmaster.
 
@BenBrocka combusts
 
@badp Look @badp there's red freehand circles
 
@BenBrocka Where? WHERE?

Q: My top bar has partially disappeared

shanodinThis is on Chrome and a hard reset does not resolve the problem. It also happens on meta and on other network sites. How do I fix this?

 
YOU'RE AS COLD AS ICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
 
@spugsley It was cold today.
 
He picked amounts of time he wanted the player to spend doing stuff
 
Geez
Transmitting Science take a lot of power
 
@fredley are you fucking kidding me
What's the rep cap, 200?
 
yep
I rep capped 4 days with my rm answer on UL
 
@SaintWacko Yep.
 
@FEichinger I sent up a science capsule with the ability to reach orbit. It contained 8 goo capsules
And an antennae
 
9:31 PM
(Orbiting goo pods are pointless.)
 
...orbiting goo pods?
 
Unfortunately, I haven't unlocked batteries or solar panels, so I only had enough power to transmit part of one
 
@FEichinger .....
 
>.>
 
@FEichinger Right, it would have done SCIENCE with the pods, transmitted the data, then deorbited
It wasn't meant to stay there
 
9:33 PM
@GnomeSlice This reminds me, that's the very same Gamescom event that @FAE went to and blogged about right?
 
@SaintWacko Yeh, but even then, the goo experiment is a one-off in orbit.
 
@badp shrug
 
@FEichinger Are you sure? I thought that each one could send back some data
 
@GnomeSlice -1, shrug
 
"the next topic is magic weather"
 
9:33 PM
Be aware that adblocker plus blocks some of SE's sprites at the moment
 
@SaintWacko Yes, but the experiment only has one result for each layer of atmosphere/orbit.
It's only biome-specific on the ground.
 
@BenBrocka Those darn finger snappers
 
@FEichinger Hm, that's too bad
I need to unlock the Science Kit thing
 
@SaintWacko Table for reference ... potential spoilers, I suppose.
 
Why are we talking about @SaintWacko's goo?

9:35 PM
@OrigamiRobot Because for once we aren't talking about @spugsley's butt.

I am never talking about @spugsley's butt.

@FEichinger really?
 
@spugsley Yes, really.
 
@fei CALLED IT
 
@Unionhawk No, you're wrong.
I'm talking about talking about @spugsley's butt. That means I'm not talking about @spugsley's butt, which means YOU ARE WROOOONG.
 
9:37 PM
@FEichinger and yet you deny being the one who starts conversations about my butt?

people ask "Do spugsley have a booty?" And the answer is truthfully "eh."
 
I'm not a doctor, but doesn't everyone have a butt?
 
@spugsley Hey, it's the paperbot's fault. I wasn't talking about it until he wondered why we were talking about @SaintWacko's goo instead.
 
@GnomeSlice for funsies, she dooooooooooooooo but in real life, she don't
 
@spugsley Who asks that?
 
9:39 PM
Butt and Counterbutt
 
@OrigamiRobot specifically @GnomeSlice but just in general
 
What happens if a butt and an antibutt come in contact?
 
Mar 13 at 22:45, by GnomeSlice
Do @spugsley got a booty?

The butt to end all butts.

I deleted it
@MBraedley Please don't do that

Q: Can you get burn cards as drops?

peper757Are you limited to only receiving burn cards as challenge rewards, or is there someway to get them for just scoring? What happens when you run out of challenges?

 
@MBraedley Did you actually ignore me?
=[
 
9:45 PM
@GnomeSlice he probably did, unfortunately.
@MBraedley you're hurting Gnomeslice. :(
 
@FEichinger You started a (short) discussion on the subject (yes you started it don't even), which is basically the same thing.
 
@Mana Did you listen to Tycho yet?
 
@Unionhawk It all went according to plan, then.
 
@Unionhawk Only @spugsley is talking about @spugsley's butt. Everyone else is talking about the topic of @spugsley's butt or about butts in general.
 
@OrigamiRobot Fair enough.

I feel like I've opened pandora's box. Once you've seen Snake's jiggling ass, there's just no going back.
 
@OrigamiRobot You agree with me that @Uni is wrong? Interesting.
 
I agree with the truth. The fact that you agree with the truth is mere coincidence.
 
this should clear it up
 
NO STAHP
 
PEOPLE NEED THE TRUTH
 
9:50 PM
DOUBLE IGNORED
 
Yeah, you're right @OrigamiRobot. Only @spugsley is talking about her butt at this point.
 
@Unionhawk THIS IS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
FOR THE NEXT TIME @FEichinger TALKS ABOUT MY BUTT
 
@spugsley what the hell do you have nothing better to do than draw arrows pointing at your butt

@Fluttershy Is it a straight screenshot, or a doctored screenshot?
 
@SaintWacko No idea. But it's definitely Minecraft.

With some HD textures and shaders mods, possibly
 
10:03 PM
@Unionhawk It looks like it has bumpmaps too, though
 
@SaintWacko bump maps are included as one of the default shaders now. Don't know how good the are, seeing as how they're auto generated.
 
I think I blew @spugsley's mind.

Mmm, that was delicious. Take-and-bake pizza, a little donair sauce, and a rum and coke.
 
@MBraedley Our local supermarket just started selling premade gourmet pizzas. I got one the other day and it was amazing.
 
10:11 PM
@MichaelFrank yeah, easily the best home baked pizza. I wish they also had some thin crust pizzas, but I can settle for deep dish.
 
@MBraedley Ahh, our one was thin crust. Which is love, but my wife hates. She calls it pizza cracker.
 
@MichaelFrank it's not supposed to be that hard

Q: What does upgrading Pyromancy Flame do?

user1306322The main casting weapon for pyromancy is Pyromancy Flame. It looks like a fiery hand in the inventory. You can upgrade it at Firelink Shrine later in the game. But what does upgrading it actually do? Does it boost all pyromancy skills damage or duration?

@OrigamiRobot for the record, I don't hate you, and didn't star your "I'm leaving" message
 
10:17 PM
Well it's too late to stop hating everyone now.
 
@MBraedley I think she just loves the deep dish too much.
Yet she never eats her crusts...
 
@OrigamiRobot What about me?
 
@Wipqozn Oh, I hate you the most. <3
 
Oh, I see.
WELL THEN
Also, I need to go afk.
 
@MichaelFrank Deep dish is the best. The crust is also the best.
Anyone who doesn't eat pizza crust is a monster.
 
10:24 PM
@OrigamiRobot Eh... I prefer thin, I don't enjoy feeling bloated after eating that much bready base.
 
Bread is the best.
If pizza was just bread and sauce, I'd still eat it.

Feel free if you think it needs it.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice ....
 
@GnomeSlice common! i's?
 
user15026
Okay then. puts on editing hat

@AshleyNunn Is that supposed to make me feel bad about myself?
 
@GnomeSlice you are supposed to feel bad about yourself all the time :/

@GnomeSlice No, I am just surprised.

That's insane
 
@AshleyNunn Your edit is better than I would have done anyway
 
user15026
@Braiam that was a very big word in your edit!
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice That's fair, I guess, but I kinda, I dunno, go with the whole "fix all the problems as much as you can" approach to editing.

@AshleyNunn I usually do that too. Just don't feel like it right now.

Why is that -2?
Am I missing something?
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Who knows.
 
@AshleyNunn it's supposed to be vinculate antonym, but even google don't know one
 
user15026
@Braiam Fair enough, but I was still unaware of vinculate as a word :)
 
user15026
I have learned a new thing today :)
 
10:53 PM
@GnomeSlice woah! that moved from -4 to -1 in 5 secconds
 
@Braiam It was -2 when I linked it
And I just upvoted it
 
@GnomeSlice probably lack of research effort
 
Not everybody knows how to find stuff like that out
 
or more like "the answer is so obvious! look!" kind of vote
oh btw, it's still at -2
 
@Braiam If that's the case, that's stupid.
What's obvious to somebody isn't obvious to everybody.
 
user15026
10:55 PM
@GnomeSlice I think people need to stop worrying about downvotes so much.
4
 
@GnomeSlice meh, a single +1 can undo two and half -1
 
@AshleyNunn It's not a nice feeling to come to a new place and ask for help and get downvoted like that.
 
what's really stupid is the "this is bad, but not that bad" kind of upvote
 
@Braiam It's not bad. It's not amazing, but it's not bad.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Well, at the same time, it's unfair of the user to come in here and not abide by whatever standards we set, either.
 
10:57 PM
@GnomeSlice there's a lack of research, and not quite enough information
 
@AshleyNunn What standards are they not abiding by though? That's why I asked.
 
@GnomeSlice she's talking in a roundabout / general way ;)
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Judging by a quick look, lack of research effort, for one.
 
user15026
I mean my comment was kinda a general thing - we have ways of doing things, and people gotta work with that, and besides, downvotes happen. They aren't teh end of teh bloody world.
 
Not everybody knows how to find that sort of thing out.
 
user15026
10:58 PM
@GnomeSlice That may be, but that doesn't make it necessarily our problem either.
 
@GnomeSlice but even saying that you tried to google for it is a good idea
 
user15026
I mean, google exists for a reason.
 
user15026
And that might not even be the reason! I am not in these people's heads.
 
user15026
and it's not like the punishment is that harsh, anyhow.
