@SaintWacko Sorry, I don't really pay much attention to TWR when building rockets.

fredley

e.g. iron_ore : {smelts_to: 'iron_ingot' ... }

Batophobia

@fredley did you want that in all categories or just blocks and items?

Q: Do Krieg's skills work against him in the higher levels?

I have a question about Krieg before I decide what build I want to use when I play as him. His Hellborn tree looks interesting, but it seems borderline unusable on higher levels. Given Krieg's preferred playstyle seems to be buffs while having shields down and/or on fire, it seems that on higher ...

fredley

@Batophobia Anything smeltable

Batophobia

@fredley aye aye capitan

Kevin van der Velden

3:01 PM

Hmm @fredley, was there a specific reason you didn't make main/inventory objects?

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden what do you mean?

Batophobia

looks to me like he did

Kevin van der Velden

Maybe my javascript is rusty

nvm it is

I can use this, I'm happy :)

Batophobia

@fredley how do you want to handle fuel sources

I think I took whatever normal minecraft can do and just use that

fredley

@Batophobia Easier for you to. Again, same approach: give items a burnable:true property

Batophobia

3:04 PM

i.e. coal does 8

fredley

@Batophobia burnable:8

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley fuelSource: 8?

Batophobia

I was thinking smelt_fuel: 8

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Sounds good

Kevin van der Velden

Cause to me, burnable would indicate it can be smelted

Batophobia

3:05 PM

since smelt_to

very trimmed inventory list

Frank

Latest blog post about Starsector is interesting. There's a lot of thought put into proper design.

Ben Brocka

polygon

badp

@BenBrocka The shallow articles are from yesterday, the layoffs from the middle of last month

so in a way they ARE the result of the refocusing

Kevin van der Velden

HOW DO I JAVASCRIPT

Ben Brocka

Yes, that's a lot of people's problem with it

they cut Features and focused on fluff

Batophobia

3:16 PM

@fredley any plans for dye?

Kevin van der Velden

So many python-ish things

badp

That said, Polygon's full RSS feed was always full of fluff and regurgitated press releases

I suppose the full site made a better job of prioritizing what they published

Frank

@badp Which is too bad; Features and in-depth information is what I liked about Polygon in the first place.

Ben Brocka

Well in the past it was mostly just regurgitated press releases, which I don't mind as much

but now they're doing Kotaku-esque crap

badp

@KevinvanderVelden Look at coffeescript and see how much Javascript blurb it writes out for you to do the simplest things

...then weep

Frank

3:18 PM

@BenBrocka So what gaming sites would you recommend?

badp

@Frank Ars Technica? :P

Kevin van der Velden

@badp it's mostly that I'm constantly trying to do things the python way, and then getting errors and thinking "Oh yeah, javascript, not python"

Ben Brocka

Two years ago it would have been polygon. Now I just watch Twitter and new neogaf threads for news

Frank

@badp For gaming? Screw that noise.

For tech news, they're not bad.

Ben Brocka

If it's actually important someone would be willingly talking about it

Frank

3:19 PM

But gaming is basically toast there.

badp

@Frank There's only so many noteworthy actual gaming news to cover, and Ars does most of them

Batophobia

@Frank I like toast

badp

@Frank The problem with most gaming sites, including our own, is that there's a very finite amount of actual things to say that's much less than the demand for those things

Frank

@badp From what I've noticed, no, it doesn't. They are remarkably thin.

badp

Once you omit the glorified retweets the difference in amount of content isn't that large.

Well, you'll certainly find less reviews. But those aren't news.

fredley

3:22 PM

@Batophobia nah

I've whittled down the list of blocks and items a git

the focus will be more on building and expanding a village rather than exploration/item acquisition

You'll see the way I have tools set up is slightly different too

Probably have more focus in this area too as the game develops: more villager roles

Chippies

Batophobia

Do you want me to add fuelSource values for wooden tools?

Kevin van der Velden

Are we also going to add the village building aspect?

I kinda wanna start on that

Frank

@Chippies I don't get it. Is it supposed to be a perspective piece?

Chippies

@Frank yes

Kevin van der Velden

3:26 PM

@Frank it's a bit of an OK Go video

Frank

All this talk of Gamedev makes me want to start on my own game idea.

But first, I need to wrap up my existing project.

fredley

@Batophobia nah

@Batophobia You'll want to pull my changes, I just added a load of stuff to inventory.js

GnomeSlice

@Frank Gamasutra

Batophobia

@fredley I forked off

fredley

@Batophobia Should be able to pull my upstream changes

Origami Robot

@BenBrocka Does "kotaku-esque crap" mean being boring?

GnomeSlice

Game is really fun, much better than it looks at a glance.

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot more specifically awful clickbait

Origami Robot

I don't even know what that means.

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka What are your thoughts on Killscreen and Gamasutra?

Gamasutra's site is an ugly piece of shit but they have awesome articles.

Batophobia

3:39 PM

@fredley Not figuring out how

nevermind, just figured it out

Ben Brocka

Don't like Killscreen, Gamasutra is generally alright, though their guest blogs can be awful

Batophobia

@fredley only changes it shows me are the ones I made

fredley

@Batophobia Oh

help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork

Ben Brocka

Anything that includes too much mobile/F2P crap I tend to unfollow. Pocket Tactics seems great as far as mobile sites go, they're like the only one I've ever seen that actually gives a shit and properly complains about shitty F2P games and generally has a sense of humor

I don't follow 'em because why would I want to hear about mobile games

Origami Robot

I just wait for other people to tell me about games.

Jason Berkan

3:47 PM

I sit in this chat room waiting for people to talk about games they like.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Speaking of which, you should check out

Origami Robot

@Jennybeans!

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot she doesn't have enough rep to talk in chat

Origami Robot

Someone give her 20 rep!

Chippies

is... that possible?

Origami Robot

3:50 PM

@Chippies BY UPVOTING, YES

OR APPROVING 10 EDITS

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I'm not sure who she is and why you're so excited.

Is she some sort of super hero astronaut who saves kittens?

Origami Robot

@Wipqozn @Chippies' LADY FRIEND

@Wipqozn PROBABLY

Rapitor

@Wipqozn he's probably not excited. just in work mode

GnomeSlice

@Chippies did you get your wife on Stackexchange?

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot so you have good memory, I see. That's my wife

Origami Robot

3:52 PM

WIFE IS A TYPE OF LADY FRIEND

Chippies

@GnomeSlice yes, since the mmo we used to play kinda died, she hasn't had any online friends, so I'm helping her fix that

GnomeSlice

Which MMO?

Chippies

MapleStory

Rapitor

and you want US to be her friend?

Chippies

it died as in, it got really pay2win and community turned real shitty

Origami Robot

3:53 PM

@Rapitor I USED EXCLAMATION POINTS TO SHOW MY EXCITEMENT

Chippies

@Rapitor I'm just giving her options :P

GnomeSlice

Yeah maplestory's community is a pile of shit

Origami Robot

DOES @Jennybeans STILL GET PINGS?

Wipqozn

@Rapitor that seems like a bad idea. We're terrible.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot yep

Wipqozn

3:54 PM

Especially @fredley.

Chippies

she just can't reply

Wipqozn

I didn't realize @Chippies was married. I thought he was 17.

Rapitor

i played maplestory years ago. it was ok, but way to grindy. I quit when Mabinogi came out. then that game went full stupid. Off to Vindictus... that went grindy/raids only. Dungeon Fighter Online. Awesome, Nexon shut it down.

Nexon has a habit of... shit

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn You can be both.

Wipqozn

Come to think of it I don't know if I've ever talked to @Chippies before.

Chippies

3:55 PM

@Rapitor nexon is a horrible company with good games. Unfortunately, the horrible company part is stronger

Frank

For those interested, FF14 currently has a two week free trial period going on.

Chippies

@Wipqozn directly - no

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan well that's just silly.

Chippies

and I'm 23

Rapitor

@Chippies exactly. I LOVED Kartrider.

Powerlord

3:56 PM

I don't really play MMOs any more. My goal (play through the game experiencing the game as I go) is different than my friends' goals (rush to end game as fast as possible).

Origami Robot

@Wipqozn chat.stackexchange.com/…

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Oh right

Rapitor

@Powerlord Destiny is the game for you. they say end-game content can be reached in a day

Origami Robot

Mar 7 at 17:04, by Origami Robot

Wipqozn

Apparently our conversations weren't that memorable.

Try harder, @Chippies.

Origami Robot

3:56 PM

ALSO I FOUND YOUR SCRIPT

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Ah, memories.

Powerlord

@Rapitor No, that sounds like my friends' kind of game. What's the point in reaching end game in a day if I like exploring the game itself?

Rapitor

@Powerlord you get to endgame (level 20) quickly so you can explore more i spose?

Wipqozn

I always thought @Chippies was a friend of @GnomeSlice in RL, and so they were the same age.

Oh, wait a minute, @GnomeSlice isn't 17 either...

Batophobia

@fredley ok I think I got it synced up

GnomeSlice

3:58 PM

I've never met @Chippies in person

Wipqozn

Okay, but I do know that @RonanForman is 19. I think.

GnomeSlice

Also you guys are all my friends in real life

this is real life

Origami Robot

@Chippies I THOUGHT YOU WERE OLDER THAN THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE MARRIED

fredley

@Batophobia Awesome. Another big changeset incoming soon :D

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice No it isn't. This is all in your head.

fredley

3:59 PM

Should have crafting villagers up and running soon

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Are you sure?

fredley

@GnomeSlice this is just fantasy

@GnomeSlice I'm a chatbot

GnomeSlice

I wish mods could give chat access to 1 rep users

Chippies

@Wipqozn as I said, we never had a direct conversation, we've just exchanged few sentences within bigger conversations

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Room owners used to be able to do that.

@Chippies and like I said, try harder. IMPRESS ME.

Chippies

4:01 PM

when I register to a diff SE site, I get rep, is there a pre-req for that?

Wipqozn

waits to be impressed

Powerlord

Ugh, I don't want to have to learn how to create a TFS Integration adapter

Chippies

►

Origami Robot

@Chippies YES, YOU HAVE TO HAVE..1K? REP ON ANOTHER SITE

Wipqozn

@Chippies 200+ rep on any other site will get you +100 rep on every other account (but it only happens once). It' just to get you past some of the initial barriers.

Tim Stone

4:01 PM

@OrigamiRobot 200

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Pretty sure it's 200.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot I guess that won't work then

Origami Robot

I TRUST @TimStone HERE, BUT NOT @Wipqozn

Jason Berkan

20 rep is two upvotes on an answer or four upvotes on a question. Not hard to get.

Chippies

would she have to have 20 rep on Arqade to chat here or would any SE site work?

Tim Stone

4:02 PM

@OrigamiRobot @Wipqozn's 200 is obviously a different value, negating the possibility of a dilemma

Jason Berkan

@Chippies Any.

Chippies

cool

Wipqozn

@TimStone Yeah, my 200 is more correct than your 200 because my 200 came before your 200.

GnomeSlice

You should be able to transfer some of your rep to other people

Batophobia

Welcome to the Bridge

Wipqozn

4:04 PM

@GnomeSlice That...completely defeats the point of rep. Also a bounty.

Tim Stone

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Bounty requires a post.

@Wipqozn No one saw that.

Private Pansy

4:04 PM

@GnomeSlice Just to iterate, I'm obviously a soldier pegasus pony with a pink mane and a yellow coat from the supposed pre-classical era mythology of a TV show for 6 year old girls. Obviously.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Yes, it does, which comes back to my point of being able to freely transfer for no reason defeats the point of rep.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Not necessarily, that would let you... uh what's the word... not verify. Well tell people that somebody is okay from your status as a high rep user

Anyway, I guess

Wipqozn

All she needs to do is propose a @Chippies Wife SE, and then she'll really quickly gain 20 rep. She'd be an expert, after all.

Origami Robot

WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS WOULD WE ASK?

HOW DO I KEEP MY @Chippies FROM SNORING?

GnomeSlice

Jason Berkan

GnomeSlice

a: yes, obviously, he's a huge jerk

Wipqozn

Chippies

I'd answer all of those questions, but I'll wait for the Chippies Wife SE to be approved

Origami Robot

CAN MY @Chippies BE USED AS A FOOTSTOOL?

Powerlord

@Wipqozn Apparently the answer is 4.

Batophobia

@OrigamiRobot Obviously, yes. Of course he can.

OK, seriously Microsoft... why is the source code for your adapters in the TFS Migration stuff missing references to other parts of the source code in the same source code repo?

Batophobia

@Chippies English language has rules!?

Wipqozn

Batophobia

@Powerlord @Wipqozn was being @Wipqozn. Or rather, is being @Wipqozn, since @Wipqozn cannot help but be @Wipqozn.

Wipqozn

@PrivatePansy Being @Wipqozn is the best. Everyone should be @Wipqozn.

@Wipqozn I think the sheer number of "your mom" jokes, followed by room owner removals would flood chat and make it unusable.

Also, to reiterate, @Wipqozn is literally Hitler.
