i feel bad

Rapitor

it was/is a great game. but there is nowhere near enough content for longevity.

TheAce

I heard it got repetitive real fast

@Batophobia this video sponsored by Bandicam.com

MadMAxJr

Guys? Titanfall? Helloooo? We were a launch title. Hellooo? Yeah, once you play the maps a few times there's little replay value.. But. Anyone? I have free DLC now??

Rapitor

@TheAce because there was nothing in it..

Batophobia

@Unionhawk Best ending

TheAce

@Rapitor watched a few videos

Rapitor

usually those types of fps (cod, bf, etc) have reasons for the "grind". prestidge, special weapon camos, stuff like that.

TheAce

7:06 PM

cool robots and a easymode gun

MadMAxJr

I did enjoy ripping pilots out of other robots.

TheAce

and it still got dull

Rapitor

titanfall has pretty much nothing in the ways of prestidge unlocks, no sort of camo. and very few weapons and weapon unlocks

MadMAxJr

Visually it was neat. But needed gameplay with objectives other than 'kill x'

Also why are pilot soldiers sent to the battlefield before the things they pilot are on-scene?

Rapitor

play through the first 50 levels and you've seen/used everything the game has to offer

MadMAxJr

7:08 PM

I don't get the prestige mechanic. DO ALL THAT WORK AGAIN AND GET A STICKER

OH MAN THAT GUYS STICKER HAS A BIGGER NUMBER, BETTER GRIND MORE

Good thing that game didn't get things like cosmetic customization or anything.

TheAce

People love that shit tho

idk why

Rapitor

in CoD it usually does more. an extra custom loadout, more weapon camos, etc. titanfall does player icon, and an exp boost. that's it

MadMAxJr

Titan prepare for Titanhat.

Orbital drop tophat

Chippies

@MadMAxJr I guess you're not a fan of incrementals either

Rapitor

titanfall 2 will probably be more promising (as well as multiplat... more platforms = more money)

MadMAxJr

7:10 PM

I lost two weeks of my life to cookie clicker if that counts.

TheAce

@MadMAxJr is it wrong i'd pay for that?

MadMAxJr

And Adventure Capitalist is still running on my tablet.

@TheAce I probably would too, if there was a drop sequence for hats.

Chippies

@MadMAxJr cookie clicker had a prestige system as well and it was pretty important that you used it

most incrementals are built around prestige systems

MadMAxJr

Because of the compounding bonus, yes.

Adventure Capitalist is a direct ripoff of those mechanics.

But it keeps my progress when I turn the tablet off.

Power on tablet, "Oh good, that number is larger." Turn off tablet.

I'm sad that is considered gameplay

Chippies

@MadMAxJr but you still "play" it and that's what counts

people like seeing numbers go up

TheAce

7:13 PM

@MadMAxJr look up a game called tap titans

MadMAxJr

Nooooo. I still have hope that I could do work today.

Chippies

Progress Quest is a "game" with literally no interactivity, but it's quite popular

TheAce

i "play" that all the time

Unionhawk

Q: How do I convert or upgrade roads?

I'm trying to optimize my road system a bit, mostly converting regular small roads into one-way roads. But the only way I can see to do that is to remove the old road entirely and build a new one. I can't seem to just build over the old one. I can understand that limitation in cases where the n...

Dangit. I could answer that question if I had the game.

Unionhawk

@JasonBerkan Google says 5,000 miles for me, but that's because it's measuring from the middle of the ocean to me

Which is not right

How query?

Jason Berkan

7:28 PM

Churchill might be closer, but Google doesn't think I can get there by roads.

Maybe there aren't roads up to Churchill. I thought there were.

Unionhawk

Ah I see

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan: You're canadian. Should I get chicken wings, a calzone, or pizza?

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn Pizza.

Unionhawk

Wipqozn

ORDER MADE

@Unionhawk You chose something which wasn't on the list.

Pizza gives me left overs for tomorrow, too.

getting other people to choose my meals for me is so much easier.

Jason Berkan

We made pizza last night for supper, and I had the leftovers for lunch. It is very convenient.

Wipqozn

See, now if I think "man, I should have got something else", I can just blame @JasonBerkan!

@JasonBerkan Yeah, best part of pizza is it gives you two meals.

Rapitor

@Wipqozn use this

Sterno

Pizza just gives me one very long meal

Rapitor

leftover pizza is very rare in my house.

Jason Berkan

7:39 PM

@Rapitor You clearly aren't ordering or making enough. We make an entire extra pizza just for leftovers.

RPi Awesomeness

@Unionhawk Indeed.

MadMAxJr

Use every part of the pizzabuffalo

Rapitor

@JasonBerkan i don't think you understand. Pizza is eaten nonstop. if it's there. someone is going to eat it. it doesn't matter how much there is...

RPi Awesomeness

@MadMAxJr Eeeeewww. Even the pepper-spleen? I've heard those taste awful

wat

I can't even

How is this possible

Probably a discrepency in the file server versus the actual server commands are being run on?

Chippies

@Unionhawk or one is on daylight saving and the other isn't

and it's not accounted for

Unionhawk

@Chippies That wouldn't explain only a 4 second discrepancy

Chippies

7:49 PM

@Unionhawk the way I understand it, it's not 4 second discrepancy, the file has been made 4 seconds in future from when whatever you are doing is being run

the file could've been made almost an hour ago?

Unionhawk

@Chippies No, because I just made this file

Chippies

system clock not sync'd maybe?

Unionhawk

Unless copying the file borked things which seems unlikely

WHATEVER

@Chippies Probably this

@GnomeSlice Yeah, shrines just seem like a big NOPE. Buffs are usually lame like "Don't use mana in the next battle", and detriments are stuff like "You now have 50 less max health" or "All spells cost more forever"

Frank

@TheAce 0/3 mods enabled? You can only have three mods?

Chippies

@Frank 3 are included by default

you can download more, if you want

Frank

@Chippies Oh, so the three it's referring to are the base mods?

@Frank I would assume so, because it comes with 3

Batophobia

Wait when did Mario Party get rid of the random placed stars thing?

Chippies

@Yuuki legit question: is water/electricity controlled by government in actual real life countries?

Yuuki

@Chippies Depends on the country, I think.

Frank

@Chippies Our utilities here in Manitoba are crown corporations.

Chippies

8:39 PM

usually it's non-government companies, afaik, but I guess government has some control over it?

Frank

Although electricity is nominally a "private" company.

Chippies

or maybe it's just laws that "control" these industries

Yuuki

@Frank Interesting case regarding electricity in Texas. Private companies control electricity throughout Texas with the exception of San Antonio.

Where the utility is managed by a municipal corporation, which is equivalent to your crown corporations I think.

Coincidentally, electricity bills are much lower in San Antonio than any other city in Texas.

Frank

@Yuuki Would be nice if there was some competition, but then we get into the finicky details of who owns the dams and whatnot.

Jason Berkan

@Chippies Water is municipally controlled here.

And electricity is a crown corp, so technically it is also government controlled.

Yuuki

8:43 PM

IIRC, water is municipally controlled here as well.

Electricity, however, is not.
