The Bridge

badp

20:00

Of course, 10kers must wait two days and we don't normally let flags linger around for two days, which is what makes 20k a little more interesting to get.

kalina

@fbueckert it's fine, by the time you reach 10k I will have probably pulled a arda/mark trapp already

fbueckert

@kalina What is it with everyone getting their accounts deleted? Is it really that bad?

badp

@fbueckert I wouldn't know; when I hit 10k I was already a mod I believe.

kalina

meh, I'm just not going to leave myself behind when I leave

and I'm really only here now for something to do at work to be fair

Grace Note

I'm here for stuff to do at work as well.

fbueckert

20:03

Oh, hey, @GraceNote, you around?

I guess so. :P

kalina

@GraceNote this is actually your job though

Grace Note

Like exactly this. ♪

What's up, marshall?

badp

Her job description isn't "idle in The Bridge" I suppose

fbueckert

@GraceNote I'm curious about our chances of getting a gaming grant around the SC2 release date.

Grace Note

@badp "Observe when you guys ruckus it up" is, though.

kalina

20:04

my job description might as well be at the moment

badp

@GraceNote That's a far cry from "idling" :P

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot lol

fbueckert

Not that I'm begging for free stuff, I'm just wondering how the whole process went dead.

badp

I'm not complaining mind you. Just pointing out it's not the same.

Jason Berkan

@GraceNote Things have been quiet in here lately. I hit 10K site wide last week and I've yet to see a flag.

fbueckert

20:05

@JasonBerkan I guess Math's chat stopped flagging every random thing.

kalina

there have been a couple of flags this week I'm sure

Grace Note

@fbueckert I've forwarded your inquiry.

fbueckert

@GraceNote Appreciated.

I thought about mentioning Atelier Ayesha with the other games, but I think you and I would be the only ones who'll play it. :P

kalina

why do you even want free stuff

so rude

I didn't even ask for a tshirt

Grace Note

@fbueckert Pretty much, yeah. And I kinda still have the earlier Atelier games to get through.

fbueckert

20:08

@GraceNote I haven't finished Rorona or Totori yet. Really should get on that.

Grace Note

Oh, good, we're in mostly the same boat, just for different reasons.

Namely, my delay isn't named "SharePoint". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

agent86

@Wipqozn & @AshleyNunn obi-wan isn't feeling it today...

fbueckert

@GraceNote Remind that whenever we get a meetup going, that I'm supposed to hit you.

Grace Note

@fbueckert Oh, nice, I get to be part of a punch chain.

kalina

your fault for using sharepoint

fbueckert

20:10

@kalina Eh. I deal with things I don't like on a regular basis. Doesn't prevent me from doing my best.

kalina

that's a bit of a tangent, I said nothing about doing your best work at all

OrigamiRobot

@KALINA IS HERE @KALINA IS HERE @KALINA IS HERE @KALINA IS HERE @KALINA IS HERE

kalina

well anyway, I'm off to bed

OrigamiRobot

FINE

fbueckert

@GraceNote Speaking of the Atelier games, don't you owe some graphics-type objects for that calendar planning tool you wanted?

spugsley

20:14

I AM HOME

fbueckert

@spugsley!

How'd the interview go?

Grace Note

@fbueckert I remembered we spoke summat of summat but then in the same vein that I've never gotten to even touch my copy (or even my nice giant artbook that I bought over the fall), I haven't been able to look at the stuff for that.

Hey spugsley.

spugsley

@fbueckert I feel pretty good about it :)

fbueckert

@spugsley See? Knew you could do it.

FAE

@spugsley Oooh, what'd you interview for?

spugsley

20:15

@FAE an assistant position with an award winning photographer :3

FAE

@spugsley Awesome, good luck!

spugsley

@FAE thank you :)

@fbueckert the only thing that has me worried is that she is talking with one more girl tomorrow and she's a student at the Art Institute. Anddd I have no formal schooling

but, if she gets it over me, at least I can feel good in that my work is on par with hers :3 at least enough to get the same interview

FAE

I miss photography.

spugsley

@FAE it's my life.

FAE

I really enjoyed developing my own film in high school.

spugsley

20:18

though I will say that portraiture doesn't hold as much value for me as conceptual/surrealist stuff. I've been experimenting with that a lot more lately

buuuut it's kinda hard to make money from that

FAE

@spugsley Yeah, I like that more as well.

@spugsley And unfortunately true.

fbueckert

We've got an annual Sci-Fi/Fantasy convention with some incredibly good artists. Too bad their art is so bloody expensive.

Krazer

@fbueckert Anything you can show?

fbueckert

@Krazer Nah; they don't allow photography in the art room.

spugsley

@fbueckert do you have any of your photography online? I'll love to look at it

fbueckert

20:23

I picked up an incredible dragon statue, though; I think it's cast from bronze or copper.

FAE

@fbueckert Ooooh, nice

Q: How to farm spruce trees in doors?

I don't understand how to make an indoor spruce tree farm. I know that with regular oak they just need to be next to a torch. I read somewhere that having two spaces between spruce saplings should work. I tried that and it didn't work. Is there somethign wrong with this design? How can I far...

minecraft

fbueckert

@spugsley Oh, I don't do photography. Other than to go, "Look at all this snow! Be glad you don't live here!"

spugsley

@fbueckert oh lol, I thought you did for some reason. Sorry :)

fbueckert

@spugsley No worries. I just dress up nice and make people take pictures of me. :P

spugsley

20:24

@Wipqozn just a friendly reminder that you are and always will be the worst

FAE

@spugsley Except when he sings songs to his cat

OrigamiRobot

@FAE She missed it

We are the elite few

FAE

@OrigamiRobot I shall forever treasure the memory

spugsley

@FAE I WANT TO HEAR IT SO BAD

FAE

@spugsley You should have @OrigamiRobot sing it to you

Fluttershy

20:29

@fbueckert I caved and picked up Game Dev Story...

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Liking it?

OrigamiRobot

@FAE I do all the time. To mock her.

FAE

@OrigamiRobot It was amazing.

Fluttershy

@fbueckert I'm struggling to understand when/what to train my people...

fbueckert

@Fluttershy You mean to change their jobs? Or just to increase their stats?

Fluttershy

20:30

@fbueckert I can change their jobs? >_> I'm lacking in the sound department.

fbueckert

Also, woo! I get all those RPGs for $200 I mentioned last night!

@Fluttershy Later, yeah.

FAE

@fbueckert Huh wha

fbueckert

The trick with Game Dev Story is not to worry too much about your first playthrough; some of the stuff that carries over into subsequent playthroughs is critical.

@FAE Kijiji link

Jason Berkan

@fbueckert You know all the FF games are $4.99 on PSN right now. Or do you want the boxes for nostalgia?

FAE

@fbueckert Wow.

fbueckert

20:33

@JasonBerkan I like physical media. It can't be taken away from me because a company goes tits up.

Or they decide it was stupid of them to sell it to me. Or any other inane reason.

FAE

@fbueckert Also pretty packaging is nice!

And instruction booklets. I'm still a sucker for a nice instruction booklet.

fbueckert

@FAE That, too. There's quite a few rare games in there.

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert If you're smart about digital things, the same is true

Fluttershy

@fbueckert Can I ever hire a team larger than 4 people?

Ben Brocka

As long as you have a backup on a PC (which is super simple) and a functioning Vita/PSP you can play backed up digital games forever

fbueckert

20:37

@Fluttershy Yes.

Jason Berkan

@Fluttershy You move into bigger offices at some point.

Fluttershy

Woo!

Starting out is apparently really hard...

Ben Brocka

@Fluttershy I think you get 8? at max

agent86

@fbueckert I have all the FF games in that set, still in my closet. sold a bit of my other collected items though not too long ago.

fbueckert

@agent86 That's the main stuff I wanted; I've played them all, and own 8, but I lent it out and never got it back.

And after picking through the collection for stuff I wanted, I was only saving $50, so I figured, why not? Save the guy a headache selling it piecemeal.

Grace Note

20:40

I have a better track record of reclaiming things I've lent out than those I haven't, haha.

agent86

I lent out some of my adventure games once upon a time, lost copies of the journeyman project and one of the myst games.

I tend to now have a "1 thing at a time" policy, if you want to borrow something, you may, but that's all you get until I get the first thing back

Ben Brocka

I think I won Visual Studio

agent86

@BenBrocka ... in the same way that badp "wins" videogames

fbueckert

gaming.stackexchange.com/a/104085/20456

Wat?

Jason Berkan

@BenBrocka I'm assuming you saw this last year:

arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/01/…

agent86

20:43

@fbueckert clearly alien kids don't speak our language.

fbueckert

@agent86 Clearly.

@JasonBerkan As a sidenote, I specifically don't update my PS3 on a regular basis. I don't play online, so I don't care about the latest "update" Sony has to offer.

Jason Berkan

@fbueckert Why all the Sony hate? I trust my PSN purchases more than I trust my Virtual Console purchases.

fbueckert

@JasonBerkan Removal of Install Other OS as a kneejerk reaction to cracking the console.

FAE

@JasonBerkan At least PSN purchases aren't tied to that system only...

fbueckert

Sony gets ALL the hate.

Jason Berkan

20:47

@fbueckert Ah.

@FAE Exactly. When my Wii goes poof, there go my games.

FAE

@JasonBerkan It really makes me loath to buy anything on the VC on my 3DS. :/

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Yeah, first playthrough is. Don't expect it to be exact. Use it to learn how stuff works.

@JasonBerkan Which is one of the reasons I'm waiting until the Wii U gets cracked wide open before I buy one.

Anna Lear

@fbueckert We're not planning on doing a grant for SC2, but we are thinking of running a promotion of some kind. No details yet, but there will be a Thing around the launch.

ajax333221

anyone plays League of Legends?, there will be an important match live streaming in about 13 min

fbueckert

@AnnaLear Okie dokie. Thanks for the info!

Anna Lear

20:51

no problem :)

agent86

@AnnaLear are grants returning at some point?

OrigamiRobot

Are we never doing gaming grants again? Did we cost too much monies?

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot Too little RoI, I think.

agent86

@OrigamiRobot shush, you, I was first.

Anna Lear

@agent86 That's a firm maybe. :)

agent86

20:52

@AnnaLear this is the answer I was expecting :)

OrigamiRobot

@agent86 Yes, but Anna likes me better.

agent86

so thank you for meeting my expectations.

fbueckert

@AnnaLear I don't know how maybes can be firm. But I'll take your word for it.

Anna Lear

Basically, once the SC2 Thing is wrapped up, we're gonna see about grants again. Likely in a different format than before.

OrigamiRobot

I compliment her cats.

agent86

20:53

@OrigamiRobot psh, she told me I was her favorite

fbueckert

Children! Pipe down so the adults can talk.

agent86

@fbueckert you're not my real dad.

badp

@fbueckert Adults? What adults? wields banhammer

fbueckert

@agent86 I....I'm not?! Since when?

Grace Note

@fbueckert Maybe they can be firm.

fbueckert

20:55

@GraceNote Ok, now you're just confusing me. I hope you're happy.

Anna Lear

If we run another grant, we're going to be monitoring the results closer than ever. We all agree that giving stuff out is awesome, but if it becomes too complicated for what the site gets in return, we're gonna have to stop. Might take a few grants to sort it out, or no grants. Tune back in in April to find out! :)

OrigamiRobot

@AnnaLear Might this have anything to do with the GGClassic prize fiasco?

And/or the amount of TVs SE had to buy.

Anna Lear

@OrigamiRobot I don't even know what that is and I'm heading up the new grant plans, so no.

badp

I'm cool with whatever gets us another awkward youtube video of Anna Lear and Grace Note handing fliers in a cold release night :P

Anna Lear

you wish

badp

20:58

Wishing is what I'm doing

OrigamiRobot

@badp Did that happen?

badp

@OrigamiRobot Yes except for the part where Anna Lear and Grace Note are involved.

OrigamiRobot

Darn.

agent86

there is no photographic evidence that a grace note actually exists. all there is is rumors, speculation, and that sinking feeling you have that someone is watching you.

badp

Well, neither Anna Lear (being a cat) or Grace Note (being artillery) have opposable thumbs so that would've been a problem.

fbueckert

21:01

@agent86 No, that's your paranoia acting up again. You really should get that taken care of.

agent86

@fbueckert I AM NOT PARANOID STOP SAYING THAT I AM

I ALSO HAVE MY EMOTIONS UNDER COMPLETE CONTROL

spugsley

@fbueckert @agent86 it's all my fault. I did put scorpions in his house once

I <3 you too :)

OrigamiRobot

@AnnaLear You had to put "#ggClassic" in your profile or something to enter and someone put in some variation that didn't get picked up and he would have won if he had followed the rules correctly. He got pretty butthurt and passive aggressively threatened to sue.

Grace Note

@agent86 There's like, two different pictures of me.

Jason Berkan

21:02

@GraceNote ... as a cactus.

spugsley

@agent86 did you find the other thing I left for you?

Grace Note

@JasonBerkan And a duck.

@GraceNote With a graduation cap!

Grace Note

Quite

agent86

@GraceNote clever ruses. I know you are not a stuffed penguin. I see through the lies. I am Batman.

Grace Note

21:04

@agent86 Well, yeah, neither of them was of a penguin.

agent86

@spugsley other... thing? n-n-no...?

spugsley

@agent86 ah, well, you're in for quite a treat :)

Anna Lear

@OrigamiRobot oh yeah... I remember that.

agent86

@GraceNote wasn't there a penguin? maybe I'm remembering wrong or getting you confused.

Grace Note

@agent86 The former. I'm not confused.

spugsley

21:04

@agent86 no worries, you'll find it...eventually

FAE

@agent86 Round, orange-y pink duck.

@GraceNote you're confusing, not confused. got it.

Ben Brocka

@AnnaLear Just ship all of the games to me and I'll promise to ask a bunch of questions. That way you only need one shipping address. Much more efficient

OrigamiRobot

Samantha: AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
did you see what agent86 just said??
Nicolas: hmm?
Samantha: milk came out of my nose
I laughed too hard

agent86

@BenBrocka this was my idea as well.

@OrigamiRobot I win +1 internets.

Grace Note

21:06

It's not even remotely pink in the physical world. It's very much just plain yellow. I'm guessing some combination of brick reflections and shadows is why people keep thinking it's pinkish.

spugsley

yeah, you win. I can't even think of a comeback

FAE

@GraceNote Oh, huh. It definitely looked kinda pink-y to me.

Grace Note

@FAE You wouldn't be the only one to say this.

fbueckert

And so we begin subverting the grant process. Before we even know we're getting any.

FAE

Bridge, make my cough go away. :(

OrigamiRobot

fbueckert

@Fluttershy I concur.

Grace Note

@Ashley You 'round?

fbueckert

Homey lemon tea, even.

FAE

I hate honey. T_T

spugsley

@GraceNote no. She was up late having a moment with @fbueckert and then another one with @Mana

it was a very interesting/confusing night

agent86

@OrigamiRobot are you saying I don't get +1 internets? I was counting on those internets to feed my family.

Grace Note

I thought you didn't get in until just now, spugsley.

spugsley

21:09

@agent86 luckily you won't have a family soon. I've been brushing up on my baby-punching. Just for you.

fbueckert

@spugsley Bwuh? Nobody has moments with me. I run for the hills.

spugsley

@GraceNote nope, I was here last night

Grace Note

Hohum. I see.

FAE

I am gonna drink some tea though.

fbueckert

@FAE Surpringly, honey is like the wonder drug for colds.

OrigamiRobot

21:10

@fbueckert You have moments all the time with @kalina.

@fbueckert And upset stomachs.

spugsley

@fbueckert you're right. It was more of a moment with your cane and tophat combo comment

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Those aren't moments. Those are knock down drag out screaming fights.

Fluttershy

@fbueckert Should I be firing people?

fbueckert

@spugsley Oh, that. Yeah. You could see the smoke rising.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Hey, man, whatever you're into. I don't judge.

fbueckert

21:11

@Fluttershy Depends on if you find someone better.

FAE

@fbueckert We have pomegranate, prince of wales, earl gray, orange pekoe, english breakfast, plain green tea, and 2 different herbal mixes. Would you suggest any of those? I don't seem to have an actual cold, just this weird dry cough.

fbueckert

@FAE Hmm. I don't see anything citrus-y in there. I dunno why, but lemon/orange-type stuff works really well on dry throats.

Other than Orange Pekoe, but that's more a black tea, no?

Jason Berkan

Other developers make me cry:

Dim intUC As Integer = 0
Dim intLC As Integer = 0
Dim intOC As Integer = 0
Dim intD As Integer = 0

WTF?

FAE

@fbueckert Yeah it is.

fbueckert

@FAE Well, in the absence of anything citrusy, everything should be more or less equal.

FAE

21:14

Okay, out of those options, which do you think would taste the least horrible with honey?

badp

Grace Note

"english breakfast" tea?

badp

AHA! I HAVE YOU CORNERED, WITCH!

Ladineko

Good evenin'

fbueckert

@FAE Least horrible? I'm no tea expert. Something bitter would probably offset the honey quite well.

FAE

21:15

@GraceNote "a traditional blend of black teas creating a rich and satisfying taste" apparently

badp

...well, fuck corners.

FAE

English breakfast tea

English breakfast tea is a traditional blend of teas originating from Assam, Ceylon and Kenya. It is one of the most popular blended teas and the most common form of British tea culture. It was initially known simply as Breakfast Tea, and was popularised by Queen Victoria. English breakfast tea is a black tea blend usually described as full-bodied, robust, and/or rich, and blended to go well with milk and sugar, in a style traditionally associated with a hearty English breakfast. The black teas included in the blend vary, with Assam, Ceylon and Kenyan teas predominating, and Keemun so...

Grace Note

...there were some things I expected in response, but a whole Wikipedia article wasn't one of them.

FAE

@GraceNote Me neither!

@badp And a gold amulet, no less!

badp

@fbueckert Yeah :(

fbueckert

@FAE I drink all my teas black; I don't even add sugar or anything.

Obviously Path of Exile is in beta so "lol noob dont comlpain about bugs" but equally obviously there's no bug reporting tool.

badp

@fbueckert nope

fbueckert

@badp Huh.

badp

fbueckert

@badp Forums, probably.

badp

yeah, fuck forums. It's a beta, where's the inbuilt bug reporting tool?

I've got a couple extra of those

@fbueckert I' fairly sure I've just got the one

Lightning Strike is really nice

Haven't found one yet :(

fbueckert

@TrentHawkins Yeah; if you're not using it, then it's extra, no?

SaintWacko

agent86

@spugsley I have not. I've been tempted, but too much else is going on, sadly.

Tim Stone

@spugsley Not really. I've been working a lot lately, and my little spare time is spent in BL2

spugsley

@fbueckert any. I just want to know if it's gotten any better in the last 3ish months?

@spugsley Nothing has changed since you last played.
