@MBraedley I rest my case

MBraedley

4:37 PM

@Frank I go back to "He's a noob" because it sounds like he doesn't know how to use Kerbal Engineer

Frank

@MBraedley Which I agree with.

But that's the point I made before; we had no idea what it was he was asking.

MBraedley

@Frank He didn't know what he was asking

GnomeSlice

pls halp

this is the first one I don't get

Frank

@MBraedley So how does that not fit the description of, "Unclear what you're asking"?

badp

I didn't know that Google did personalized doodles for your birthday, but they do.

MBraedley

4:43 PM

@Frank What he asked was clear, he just didn't know what it meant. It'd be like me asking "How do I defend mid against <some character> in <some MOBA>?" That's pretty clear, but I haven't the slightest idea what it actually means.

Frank

@MBraedley If he himself doesn't know what he's asking, I think it's a rather fair action to require a clarification.

Yeah, you or I can ask whatever we want, but there needs to be at least a modicum of knowledge that goes into asking it.

That's what the context is for.

MBraedley

@Frank I'm sure there's a meta post somewhere about clueless people asking questions, and what to do about it.

GnomeSlice

well shit

MBraedley

@GnomeSlice Just curious, but why are you applying for a job in an apparel store?

GnomeSlice

Because it's in the mall across the street

@Frank your comment muddies the water, since Kerbal Engineer can give you Delta-V totals for your rocket.

Sterno

Holy cow, you guys are still talking about this?

I woke my daughter up, got her dressed, took her to a 4th of July parade, fed her lunch, took her home, and put her down for a nap since you started.

MBraedley

@Sterno Still would be oversimplifying things. We've resumed talking about it.

Tim Stone

@Sterno Ah, see, you missed the crucial step of feeding me lunch. Had you done that they'd have been done by the time you got back.

Frank

@MBraedley Yeah, but it uses your rocket to do it. It's something we can tell you how to find, but we can't give you those totals, because we don't know your rocket.

@Frank You should see the KSP subreddit, there's a ton of resources.

Man, I really wish I could use tags in my Steam library.

Frank

@FAE I try not to visit Reddit at all if I can help it.

GnomeSlice

►

@FAE You can make groups.

FAE

@Frank Like SomethingAwful and other places with a massive amount of people, it can be handy just to make use of the being able to take advantage of the number of eyes and number of people interested in a particular thing.

@GnomeSlice Not good enough.

Tim Stone

5:00 PM

@OrigamiRobot Delicious

GnomeSlice

Yeah tags would be nice

FAE

@GnomeSlice Can't have anything in more than one group. Can't even have something in "Favorites" and a group at the same time. :/

GnomeSlice

Or being able to put a game in multiple groups.

yeah

FAE

And several games are multi-genre now.

Frank

@FAE It has that advantage, but it also has the disadvantage of that same number of people; lowest common denominator wins.

FAE

And some stuff is just better as a tag than as a group/genre.

FAE

@Frank I don't really get involved with the communities much around said interests, but being able to use the stuff that comes out of it, like that Delta-V map, builds for various things, tools/plugins/mods, etc., that's pretty handy.

@GnomeSlice as an example, I think procedural-death-labyrinth on steam is a fun and funny tag, but not as useful as a genre classifier.

GnomeSlice

I hate that tag

But I think I know what you mean

FAE

@GnomeSlice As another example, I keep my own games classified by genre, but I'd use tags internally for stuff like good-for-zoning-out, pick-up-and-play, dont-play-after-10pm, etc.

Frank

@FAE I suspect that last one would be confined to horror-esque games, yes?

FAE

5:08 PM

@Frank Nope, I only play those late at night. That last one is for stuff like Civ V.

Origami Robot

Frank

@FAE As am I! Good thing it's a Friday; I can just not do anything but play it all weekend.

There's also the go-offline-on-friends-list-before-playing games that you are ashamed of.

@Frank I don't think I've seen a separate date for the EU yet. EU releases are usually Friday so I'm wondering if they're breaking the whole Tuesday tradition and actually doing a simultaneous worldwide release.

@Sterno Now you have to tell us what you're ashamed of.

Frank

@FAE I wonder.

Sterno

@FAE The first one that comes to mind is Dangerous High School Girls In Trouble!

FAE

@Frank Eurogamer's article didn't mention anything special in particular, but yeah, I see the same release date. Interesting. That'd be pretty awesome.

Dungeon Defenders II 'early access' delayed

agent86

GnomeSlice

> Originally, our plan was to follow the recent Early Access trends and release the game in a rough “pre-alpha” state with many features missing. Over the past couple of months, our team has been playing with our Councillors, analyzing their feedback, and a different conversation started. Simply put, we discovered that Dungeon Defenders is not the kind of game that benefits from a super unfinished early access like DayZ or Rust.

agent86

also this one for maximum 'murica

@GnomeSlice so what's the point of Early Access?

FAE

@GnomeSlice Did you see the Pixel Piracy's dev statement on Early Access?

@badp It will won't be fully complete. I think it's the difference between alpha and beta.

@FAE Not sure, don't think so.

For the birth control.

> For example, the Korte family, which owns an Illinois construction company, refuses to pay for or support not only "contraceptives, sterilization, abortion, (or) abortion-inducing drugs," but "related education and counseling." (Emphasis added.) In other words, if a woman asks her doctor for advice on reproductive options, the consultation may not be covered.

It's still stupid but it's an important distinction.

MBraedley

@Sterno Fair, but for all intents and purposes, at the price of some of these drugs, it is limiting access.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@sterno but they are limiting your access, because the default assumption under the ACA is that you ought to have it, and in most cases, the company in question isn't actually paying less to deny you that access.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I was about to say I didn't get the reference. Never watched that when I was young.

The more I read/write the name Arthur, the weirder it looks.

@MBraedley Neither did I!

I just kind of googled around for Arthur related images, and got a lot of that dude, so then I narrowed it to "ARTHUR ANGRY" and got that.

Bah, how hard is it to reset one number on a telephone exchange?

@SaintWacko Yeah, our boardgame host feels the same way.

@FAE It's sad, because Munchkin is so awesome. He prefers things like Powergrid, and Outpost, and Dominion

Which, admittedly, are quite fun

FAE

@SaintWacko Yeah, typical Eurogame stuff. That's what most of our boardgames days always are. He's not really into anything Ameritrash.

I like just sitting down and doing co-op stuff sometimes though or fluff things.

SaintWacko

But sometimes it's fun to play something that's a little simpler

FAE

@SaintWacko Right. We have some simple in between games, like Love Letter, Flower Fall, Bonanza (not sure if it's called that in English), and... another one I don't know the English name of, it's a card/bluff game with sheep and lighthouses and you have to try not to sink.

But those are mostly to play in between the heavier stuff to refresh your brain.
