Galaxy on Fire II (Steam) for $4

awesome game

I can't remember a movie I've watched on a plane that I both heard and understand the audio and enjoyed even moderately.

Unionhawk

@Sterno Right? Well, this particular professor, beginning of the year, was like "Here's the grade distribution. Those of you good at math will observe the final is only worth 10%. I don't believe a cumulative final should be worth 25%. The engineering department does. Shhhhhh..."

Sterno

@Yuki I think seeing the Dragonball Z movie on a plane made it better.

Yuki

@Sterno Well, common exceptions are movies that are best enjoyed without experiencing them with any of your senses.

Sterno

A bunch of 10 year old girls across the pond from me were having a Frozen birthday party or something, and I was treated to about an hour of hearing them repeatedly belt out "Let it Go"

Jason Berkan

5:04 PM

@Yuki I found the story lacking. It was really uninteresting.

But I'll watch it again at home, as my kids still want to see it.

Sterno

Well, the story is basically: "I'm scared! I can make things cold. OMG NOW I'M REALLY SCARED AND THINGS ARE REALLY COLD! But I love my sister, so hugs all around. Warm hugs, of non-snowiness. Except for Olaf. The end."

Origami Robot

@Sterno Spoilers!

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot AND THEN ARYA GOES BLIND

Origami Robot

I ALREADY KNEW THAT

I read the wikipedia article for every episode before I watch it.

Powerlord

@Sterno Don't hold back any more.

Origami Robot

5:07 PM

I also read articles for the books.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot AND THEN DUMBLEDORE EXPLODES LIKE A WHALE

GnomeSlice

Pornhub promises to plant a tree for every 100 videos watched

wat

Sterno

That's going to be a lot of trees.

Powerlord

Seriously, Firefox no longer has the ability to just restore a single closed tab?

Firefox: I don't want you to reopen every tab I've ever closed since FF started.

user15026

@GnomeSlice next thing you know, "Pornhub Forest"?

Jason Berkan

5:11 PM

So, has anyone ever noticed that Google Maps knows the contents of your Gmail e-mails (such as flights and hotel reservations)? Freaked my wife out.

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn Hahahahahahahaha

user15026

@JasonBerkan Yeah, it unnerved me the first time I noticed.

Origami Robot

@JasonBerkan There are people that don't know that?

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot I didn't know that.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice does this mean that, morally, I need to switch to pornhub?

3

GnomeSlice

5:12 PM

I'm not sure how they're going to do that.

Pornhub is by far the most popular free porn site, they probably get 100 views every 10 seconds.

Origami Robot

I mean, I didn't know exactly that, but I knew Google scanned you Gmail contents for better ad targeting.

Jason Berkan

It also concerned me a bit that they were pulling content from an attached PDF.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Trees are cheap.

GnomeSlice

Are any of you interested in Aerena on Steam? I have a free copy, it's a multiplayer-only turn-based tactics game.

@Wipqozn Yeah, but it takes time to plant a tree.

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot If you have a hotel confirmation e-mail and you bring up the hotel in Google Maps, it will show the dates of your stay under the hotel. You can then expand that to see more information, including a link to the reservation e-mail.

GnomeSlice

5:14 PM

They probably get 100 views faster than they can plant a tree.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Oh, you're being literal.You goose.

GnomeSlice

??

Wipqozn

Also I doubt they do it themselves. They probably just donate seeds.

GnomeSlice

Oh, that makes sense I guess.

They'll probably do it like monthly too.

user15026

They are likely just sending the money to like an environmental thingie thhat plants thhem

user15026

GnomeSlice

Maybe you get to adopt a tree and name it after a pornstar

Q: If you start a new character, will you get the preorder weapons again, or is it locked to your first character only?

I think I made a mistake on my first character and would like to try a different start. Will a new character also start with all of the pre-order weapons/shields, or an I totally vanilla if I re-roll?

@GnomeSlice Okay, that was pretty excellent.

GnomeSlice

Okay how about you actually star the message and not the request.

That had to have worked out about as well as you were expecting.

Unionhawk

Why do they let you earn achievements against Easy Bots in CS:GO? (leave me alone I ARE NOOB)

Chippies

A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION INCOMING!

GnomeSlice

=[

Blem

@Chippies 42

Chippies

can you use "give head" as a phrase for oral sex when referring to woman being on receiving end?

Sterno

5:28 PM

@Unionhawk Because achievements are meaningless?

GnomeSlice

@Chippies Yes.

Sterno

I agree with @GnomeSlice.

Chippies

I see

user15026

@Chippies I think so.

Unionhawk

@Sterno Fair enough, but most games like this would at least make you play against real people to give you a medal.

GnomeSlice

5:29 PM

I told you

spugsley

@Chippies I'd say 'no' as a lady

user15026

@spugsley See, I would say yes, because I go, well, your head is between my legs, so.

Chippies

today we found out that @GnomeSlice is an expert in sex slang

spugsley

@AshleyNunn ok, I can see that.

Origami Robot

@AshleyNunn That's not the head I always assumed the term was referring to

user15026

5:30 PM

@OrigamiRobot Not in the male sense, generally, but who said I had to stick to the rules :P

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot me neither, but majority voted otherwise...

spugsley

I'd say if you're using it to avoid saying anything related to a vagina, than no, it's not okay.

user15026

@spugsley I agree, there are phrases I'd like better, but I can see a use case for this.

Origami Robot

@AshleyNunn It's not like it makes sense that way either.

GnomeSlice

"Going down" is what most people use anyway.

When you're talking about the woman on the receiving end.

Chippies

5:32 PM

@GnomeSlice I think that applies to both sexes equally

user15026

@OrigamiRobot This is also true.

spugsley

@Chippies I always thought so

GnomeSlice

@Chippies "eat her out"

user15026

@Chippies Yeahh, that one is entirely interchhangeable, unless you've somehow moved your sex organs someplace else.

GnomeSlice

Signs You've Been On The Bridge Too Long And Should Probably Go Outside: This entire conversation.

Chippies

@GnomeSlice "lick the bean"

GnomeSlice

That's a new one

spugsley

@GnomeSlice those people have no right to be going down on a woman.

Chippies

@GnomeSlice really? I've heard that one quite a bit

user15026

@spugsley amen, milady.

GnomeSlice

5:36 PM

@spugsley There are other words!

spugsley

@GnomeSlice my only point is that vagina isn't a bad word.

Chippies

or you could always make your own words for the parts, as long as both parties agree to use them. Probably not so simple to implement such an idea unless you're married tho...

vagina just doesn't sound very nice

it sounds rough and soulless

spugsley

why?

Chippies

idk, just the way the word sounds

spugsley

@Chippies no. Just no. This is not okay.

GnomeSlice

5:37 PM

Idk it's kinda clinical.

Chippies

"May I please eat out your vagina, m'lady?"

GnomeSlice

Like who says that in normal conversation

Chippies

just doesn't sound very nice

GnomeSlice

nobody says 'penis' either.

Origami Robot

spugsley

5:38 PM

I think everyone should start saying it in normal conversation

@GnomeSlice and that's not true. That word gets thrown around quite a bit even if mostly just for laughs. As soon as someone says 'vagina' people make 'eww' faces

and that's not alright

Chippies

I usually use word vagina when it's not supposed to be sexual, with some exceptions

Origami Robot

@Chippies By eating small children apparently.

user15026

The fact that the actual names for people's bits are like now considered dirty words makes me annoyed

spugsley

@AshleyNunn agree.

Chippies

@AshleyNunn I don't consider them dirty words, I personally hate the word "pussy"

I'd rather use vagina than pussy

Origami Robot

5:39 PM

@AshleyNunn I don't think they're dirty, they're just [THAT WORD I WAS TRYING TO THINK OF YESTERDAY]

user15026

@Chippies I am not a fucking cat, mmkay?

Chippies

@AshleyNunn are you... a regular cat?

@Chippies facedesk

@OrigamiRobot that word probably doesn't exist

you made it up and want it to be real

GnomeSlice

Origami Robot

A very real possibility.

user15026

@GnomeSlice I am intrigued.

GnomeSlice

5:42 PM

@Sterno You have kids, it's not like you've never heard of a vagina.

Sterno

I haven't. Please explain to me what one is.

GnomeSlice

Unless you did yours with ice cube trays and turkey basters

@Sterno (user was banned for this post)

spugsley

time to go clean the house

Chippies

I've heard stories of men after having kids never seeing a vagina again.

I read it on internet, so it must be true!

spugsley

@Chippies ugh stereotyping. Fun stuff.

StrixVaria

5:44 PM

@GnomeSlice This "Imagine Earth" game sounds more micro-intensive than "Universim".

Chippies

@spugsley I know, right?

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Yeah, it's more focused on resources and stuff, from what I gather.

StrixVaria

That's actually part of what appeals to me about Universim.

spugsley

@Chippies :p

StrixVaria

It seems more about "oh neat how will it play out" than about "how do I min/max my build".

Chippies

5:45 PM

@spugsley everything on the internet is true, I read that on the internet as well, so that must be true!

GnomeSlice

I hope The Universim makes their goal, but I suspect they will.

The updated version of Croixleur, Croixleur Sigma, is now available on Steam.

CC @GraceNote if you use Steam now.

Chippies

@GnomeSlice THAT WAS DISAPPOINTING AS BALLS!

I finished the tutorial thing and THAT WAS THE END OF THE GAME

GnomeSlice

@Chippies It's just a tech demo right now.

There will be more.

Okay. They have a good pitch though.

GnomeSlice

I'll poke it later. Like, when I'm not at work.

Which is kind of an eternal conundrum if you think about it. The internet is my workplace, so by extension, any time I pick up a game from the internet, I'm doing it at work.

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote Heh.

It's only playable in-browser right now.

Not sure if that's going to stick or not, they say it's HTML5, so probably, unless they port it.

Sterno

Steam is doing it wrong

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice Don't think of it as laughing at you, because laughing at you would be mean and it's not in my interests to be mean to you.

Understand that I'm laughing at the concept of me doing anything remotely resembling mechanical subscription to have a machine let me know when situations change.

Which technically means I'm laughing at myself.

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote Heh. I track hundreds of games on indiedb.

Powerlord

@Sterno I don't get it.

GnomeSlice

So many that I get new updates like every few minutes.

I just cleared it and have two more already

Sterno

6:09 PM

@Powerlord They need to group that DLC up or something. When looking at new releases I don't need a full page of Child of Light DLC

GnomeSlice

Grace Note

I track hundreds of games by having hundreds of peons, knowingly and unknowingly, willingly and unwillingly, reporting to me and otherwise doing my bidding. Why let a machine do what I can have people do? ♪

Powerlord

@Sterno Have you considered unchecking the "Show Downloadable Content" checkbox at the top?

I can save your image and draw a freehand circle around the checkbox if you want me to.

Sterno

@Powerlord I care about some DLC. I just don't care to swim through pages of it at a time for games I don't care about

FEichinger

@Sterno Lots and lots of Day 1 DLC, yay \o/

Sterno

6:11 PM

I imagine 95% of people care (or don't) that there is some Child of Light DLC. I doubt they care to see all 8 of them individually enumerated in the "new releases" list.

This problem compounds as more and more games do it

StrixVaria

All DLC for a single game should be in a single row, and I can see more detail once I click on it.

Sterno

In other news, has anyone tried Rogue Shooter?

Origami Robot

@GraceNote I bet you understand my aversion to RSS feeds and the like.

Grace Note

It's probably similarly founded.

GnomeSlice

6:44 PM

It has AI bots you can play against, but they're going for a DOTA kinda of feel. Like you play online and move up through ranks and stuff.

There's no campaign or anything.

Jason Berkan

I don't know if that is laziness, as much as it is forcing everyone to play multiplayer, thus ensuring there are enough people playing.

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice My issue with indie or small-studio multiplayer-only games is that I don't trust enough other people to have interest for it to be worth getting into.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Well I'm offering it for free.

But yeah, games going dead is a big problem.

Gun Monkeys struggled very badly with that.

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice I don't even care about monetary investment. I mean time-investment (learning curve and stuff).

I started playing Smite recently and am having a lot of fun with that. There are modes vs. the AI but the modes vs. other players are more fun.

GnomeSlice

With Gun Monkeys It got to a point where the developer implemented a thing where if you waited in an empty lobby for something like five minutes, the game would give you a free steam code to give to a friend.

@StrixVaria It takes like 2 minutes to learn.

If it's a strategy game that takes 2 minutes to master, then no thanks for an entirely different reason.

Well, it looks like none of it is actually content DLC (they're mostly item packs), which probably makes the separate listing thing on Steam even worse.

Buy Mario Kart 8, get a free downloadable game from Club Nintendo!

Yuki

Also, Child of Light has gem combining. At least it's not ridiculously expensive like D3.
