@ben_lubar Did my post break horribly then?

@Tsaukpaetra They released a patch along with the free version to bring better compatibility with modern computers and add a few new features. I would guess that's why the executable changed and firewall prompts are coming. A small bonus is that to patch an old install you need to run SC as an admin. But that should only be a one-time thing. Note: When patching StarCraft, please use the ‘Run as Admin’ option; it is required during your first client run to migrate saves and avoid issues from Windows system admin changes.

Whenever I see this thread pop up in my Unread list, I can't help but think that MGS is the Discourse of video games.

@falsify said in Creating our first indie game: What is your philosophy? Don’t let outside forces disturb your inner peace. Does that have anything to do with your game, or just your philosophy for life in general?

@xaade not really, I think she was just assuming that there was something else there. That other people hasn't caught onto yet.

Spoken to some Nintendo nerds and they aren't even going to buy it. This is why they should do a SNES mini.

I look at those screenshots and I can't stop wondering: why have everybody suddenly switched to KDE? What evidence to support this? The icon style of the device manager. Oh, wait. @Lorne-Kates, @Tsaukpaetra, I get it now. It's id10t, not KDE!

@ben_lubar No idea. I've not played a game in the new patch yet. My random guess would be no but you'd see the effects. Let's check Dendi's stream.

@Zecc said in Game Ideas: I remember reading this game's description once, but I can't recall its name so I'm unable to find it again. It was the story of three siblings. The sister was an NPC, only there for story purposes. She was cursed, monsters would come up at night to get her. You played like each of her two brothers alternately. One brother was awake during the day, setting up traps and doing general maintenance of their settlement. I may be mis-remembering, but I think the game was played in bird eye's view. The other brother would stay up at night fighting the monsters. The game played like a FPS then. i don't know what game that could be but i want to play the crap out of it! :-D

@Magus said in Serious Plan: So uh, do we have more than two people yet who have tried learning mahjong? I'm still up to play some time, but it's a 4-player game, and as far as I know there are only two of us so far. Yeah, I've fallen off the face of the earth as far as gaming is concerned for the foreseeable future. :(

I would run this play-by-post style; instead of a set time, we'd be doing it basically like Mafia runs. If nobody has a strong preference, let's do pathfinder. I'm in a pathfinder game elsewhere right now, so i'm least likely to mix up my rulesets if I do the same :D

@LB_ The fascinating thing here is that the moba problem is much more than he had time to learn for his talk: There is an insane number of precise details: this increases the thought investment required There are countless opportunities to do things differently: you can always do something better, or worse If you fail, you directly contribute to the enemy team: no action has low stakes Even if you keep out the rankings, which add additional hatred, it's pretty much mechanically perfect for causing hatred.

I'm not likely to make it in for this year's competition - I was hoping to be largely done with the story by the end of August to spend September beta testing. But owing to I haven't had the time or energy, so I'm not nearly that far along. That said...

@lucas1 said in Quake Live, WTF happened?: WHY, would you want this. I don't, and am quite glad to see that the gameplay looks solid. @lucas1 said in Quake Live, WTF happened?: I ain't smart enough to shoot and think at the same time. That's the idea, though: you only have a couple weapons, so you do your one job and don't have to time every item spawn on the map in your head while aiming and strafing.

@ben_lubar While that might be cool it certainly seems like a waste of resources of some kind or other.

@ScholRLEA said in Digital Antiquarian and Moving to California: But the idea of interpreting a bytecode was there from the start, being a pretty straightforward derivation of Gödel's and Turing's mathematics. Actually, the problem is in working out what was underneath. Those early systems were very small indeed (due to issues with reliability of the components if nothing else) and so it wasn't so much running a p-code, so much as swapping out one instruction set entirely for another totally different one.

Minecraftforum.net is good for mods, but try not to read too much of the forums. Your brain will thank you. Spongepowered.org is a new mod/plugin thing but it's not ready yet. I've written quite a few Bukkit plugins and @riking has done quite a lot of MC stuff too.

@Magus One of the best t-shirt logos ever was accompanied by the slogan “Save Water, Drink Wine.” That shirt got me stopped at a border once (in the Netherlands), but just so that the border guards could have a good laugh at the end of a long hot day. While looking (futilely) for good images of that shirt, I found this and thought of everyone here:

ANDRITSU! andrearitsu Undertale, 2015 by Toby Fox

I played some during the open weekend not too long ago; I had some connection problems and didn't have much time to learn how to best play the characters, but it seems OK. However, I don't have a group to play with nowadays to make sure I have a few non-idiots on my team. Without that or single player I don't see much point in buying it.

Now I may have already been d on this, but... Uh... I think I found the cast for all of our future Erik Gern stories.

Hey, I finally fixed my problem with string lookups in Fallout4. It was the full dialog interface mod. Updating it helped. I'm going to go build a new settlement now.

@RaceProUK That makes sense. I imagine you'd like him, though. He's a blue hero! But yeah, the interesting thing about the series is that the main Megaman series is somewhat more light-hearted, whereas X is more angsty. Not so much in the first game, but it grows steadily more so as it goes. I haven't really played anything past X3 much at all in the main series. My favorite game of all time involves a different Megaman with a different origin, who is an OCD AI. Then there's the Starforce version of Megaman, where he's some kid who fused with a magic electromagnetic space dragon.
