01:04:22 Devastator: I think
RC should have overkilled on the bomb. ;-p
01:04:27 Devastator: but I'm glad he didn't.
01:05:20 Devastator: Hmm. Just how big does it look,
PW?
01:11:11 Devastator: Also, Prequel has the credit card for you, too.
01:12:35 Devastator: Also,
syv, Prequel updated.
01:19:28 PW: Quite large. Imagine a beetle and its legs. Imagine that the end leg segment is the size of a person
01:19:51 Devastator: so about triple benedict, then.
01:20:47 Devastator: no comment about <Screaming> brand credit cards?
01:21:47 Devastator: hmm, maybe more than that.
01:24:58 PW: I like that it is addressed to slutty meatsack
01:25:12 Devastator: Prequel is a hell of a thing.
01:26:53 Devastator: it's also the bank of skelebones.
01:27:02 Devastator: Concievably it could have been inspired by you.
01:32:37 Devastator: You want the story behind "Slutty Meatsack"?
02:38:14 PW: cat girl is self explanatory
02:50:01 Devastator: Aww, missed the livestream of Ryu's MM2 speedrun match.

02:52:02 Devastator: Aww, missed the livestream of Ryu's MM2 speedrun match.
02:52:07 Devastator: Also, apparently you were right,
MJ.
02:52:12 Devastator: giant catbird isn't nearly giant enough.
02:52:47 Devastator: yeah, and only 4 mana left.
02:53:10 Devastator: eh, it couldn't have gotten down into here if it was any bigger.
02:55:47 PW: Quick! Override its reactor self destruct it!
02:55:50 Devastator: and at least I got the result. Ryu still sole undefeated player in his bracket, and has a win against the top scorer.
02:56:01 Devastator: I do have a couple ideas.
03:14:37 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:16:22 syv: So what bracket is Ryukahr in?
03:16:32 Devastator: There are three undefeated players in A.
03:17:46 syv: Will A go against B later?
03:19:42 Devastator: Top eight from the round robin go on.
03:19:48 Devastator: then they play a plaoffs.
03:20:03 Devastator: It's like pre-inteleague baseball. They can only meet in the grand final.
03:20:28 syv: Do you think Ryu will remain undefeated?
03:22:11 Devastator: He could, but there's a lot of matches to go.
03:22:28 Devastator: And this is basically his tournament.. the way the games go is exactly his thing.
03:23:36 Devastator: randomly fed garbage levels.
03:23:43 Devastator: he's amazing at that.
03:24:31 Devastator: Checking who he and iipk, the other top guy have played, it's about even.
03:24:46 Devastator: and their versus match was stupidly close.
03:25:19 Devastator: iipk has played Foxen, another top player, but he's also played the two worst players.
03:25:59 syv: Mm, yeah, reading the rules points are very dependant on who you're matched against.
03:26:14 Devastator: well, iipk went 4-0 on foxen..
03:26:21 Devastator: that is, a clean sweep.
03:26:42 Devastator: still, ryu's lost with six, seven and eight clear games, and iipk hasn't.
03:27:26 syv: Yeah. Suppose a win is either 4-0 or 3-1, so not *thaat* dependant, but winning against weak playerd is still more beneficial than winning against top players.
03:28:27 Devastator: it's round robin, so everyone plays everyone.
03:28:47 Devastator: and with 8 of 12 players going to a playoffs, ryu's already qualified, really.
03:29:39 syv: I just want to see him do the whole tourny without losing.
03:30:18 Devastator: He's an incredible player, but that'd be something.
03:30:22 Devastator: did you see any of the games?
03:30:39 Devastator: A lot of players he's clearly better than, but there are a few who can match him.
03:31:35 syv: I haven't, and I don't know of any of the other players.
03:31:58 syv: In fact I don't know of any other players of SMM2 at all.
03:32:11 syv: So of course I want the single guy I know of to win. :P
03:32:19 Devastator: well, the guy in the other league called 'the beast' is probably his match.
03:32:24 Devastator: iipk is also comparable.
03:32:32 Devastator: The others are all a notch worse or more, from what I've seen.
03:33:06 Devastator: that said, since everyone plays everyone, there can't be more than one undefeated player per side.
03:33:35 syv: Ahh, so A hasn't run everything yet.
03:34:25 Devastator: those guys have to play each other.
03:35:51 syv: Seems B hasn't, either. Ryu won't be playing Foxen 'til near the end.
03:36:27 Devastator: Well, 11 matches.. someone was likely to be near the end.
04:05:53 syv: ...I should look at the fort while you're here.
04:06:02 syv: Can watch the Ryu match later...
04:06:18 MidJag: So what's division B is that second tier?
04:07:08 Devastator: They seem pretty comparable.
04:07:15 Devastator: fort fort fort fort.
04:07:24 Devastator: although if you have a link to the one he just played, GIVE.
04:07:35 Devastator: I wasn't expecting to be able to watch it until tomorrow.
04:07:37 syv: Seems to just be the second group.
04:07:47 Devastator: yeah, they were broadcast yesterday.
04:07:57 syv: Watching Ryu v IIPK, since IIPK seems to be the second best in that group.
04:08:06 Devastator: he's certainly comparable.
04:09:05 syv: One of Ryu's clears was just magic guesswork, he made a blind leap after a troll door, which he could only survive due to a hidden block powerup, and that gave him thr level.
04:09:16 Devastator: That's ryu's garbage sense.
04:09:25 Devastator: he knew the level could be cleared in 11 seconds.
04:09:31 Devastator: so there had to be some way.
04:09:36 Devastator: pipes go to a subworld.
04:09:50 Devastator: and he saw no cage around the munchers, and made a good guess.
04:10:09 Devastator: but really, that's like four years of playing garbage levels.
04:10:17 syv: It's impressive regardless.
04:10:36 Devastator: Nobody else could do that.
04:14:03 Devastator: You could see him saying 'get that garbage out of here', which is his catchphrase whenever he does that,.
04:17:19 Devastator: how was castle town?
04:18:01 PW: other players dueled with a giant city and managed to complete it
04:18:56 Devastator: oh,
PW, can the magebreakers collapsing the cavern get out on their own?
04:20:02 Devastator: then I think we're probably leaving.
04:20:14 MidJag: I dunno what that is dubs but it looks cool
04:22:10 PW: Thats the pseudo evolution of unit 13 from evangelion. Next model I'm building
04:22:25 PW: Also Carcassonne is a game about building a map kind of
04:22:44 Devastator: Evangelion? The show about the evil sunglasses?
04:23:12 PW: I mean...thats a hard thing to say
04:23:19 PW: are you talking about gendo?
04:23:36 syv: "The impossible to understand anime that is to mecha what PM3 is to Magical Girls"
04:23:48 Devastator: The very fact that you know who evil sunglasses is means it's as correct as anything else.
04:23:54 Devastator: It's mostly just bizarre things happening.
04:24:10 syv: I only know one person who's watched it, and they said to stay away, which I don't trust because they hate mecha and refuse to possibly even try PM3.
04:24:46 PW: The basic story is pretty easy to understand
04:25:37 PW: the complexity is in the details
04:26:00 PW: also some people get turned off because it doesn't immediately explain everything to you and has some weird stuff in it
04:27:12 Devastator: 'why are angels attacking the planet?'
04:27:54 syv: This guy is totally the sort to hate it because it's not simple.
04:28:08 syv: When pressed, his best reasoning for why it's bad is just "It's stupid."
04:28:38 syv: ...He also likes RWBY, which, uh, shows his sense of quality.
04:30:25 PW: I'm pretty sure the script for rwby was written by one man on Ketamine after 72 hours of watching random entry level shonen shows
04:31:02 syv: I'm pretty sure it was just written by some korean animator with no really skill at writing.
04:31:19 syv: Though on the other hand, people seem to like it, so...
04:31:37 Devastator: The simpsons exists.
04:31:42 syv: Is it still shit if it's well-made to coform to the tastes of an audience with shit taste?
04:31:53 MidJag: Its' like half shit then
04:32:38 PW: Its shit, but its effective shit
04:33:07 Devastator: I am kinda disappointed Elventide stopped making his game about it.
04:33:55 Devastator: some very badly thought out mechanics.
04:34:35 PW: I'd say everyone should watch Evangelion if only because its such a hugely influential and important show. So you can actually have your own opinion on it, even if your opinion is "It sucks"
04:34:35 syv: Was it actually *about* RWBY? I thought it was just influenced.
04:34:57 Devastator: dunno. Lots seemed similar, lots seemed generic.
04:35:27 syv: Mm. Well, I consider that guy's hatred to be its own kind of rec, and if you're reccing it tooo.... well, that means it's slightly less likely to be never watched I guess.
04:35:29 Devastator: did everyone in rwby have personally customized weapons?
04:35:49 syv: Basically every weapon had a melee form and a gun form.
04:35:50 Devastator: ok, that's one then.
04:35:50 MidJag: I've just never watched it.
04:35:58 Devastator: also directly from ruby then.
04:36:00 syv: Which was FUCKING AWESOME and the best part of the show.
04:36:05 Devastator: both weapons and melee and gun weapons.
04:36:19 syv: Nothing is ever wrong with a gunscythe, I don't care about everything else, gunscythe is the best thing.
04:36:35 syv: But yeah, otherwise, RWBY is pretty shit and worthless.
04:36:51 syv: Characters explicitly in-universe had HP, called aura or something IIRC.
04:36:52 PW: It had some "Quality" animations
04:37:15 Devastator: No wonder he was so reluctant to have a character pass on having one. ;-p
04:37:38 syv: Animation varied wildly. Some of the fight stuff was actually good, and then ther ewere just the most amazingly low-quality animations at other points. And everything was unpolished.
04:39:38 Devastator: basically I thought that with immortality there wouldn't be need for any other magic powers, and with the loose item manufacturing, customization, and temporary boost abilities, no actual stats were necessary, and the smart thing to do in any encounter, due to the liberal teleport to ally rules, was to just go back immediately after contact,
04:39:51 Devastator: and spend a few weeks (12 seconds) making whatever you need and returning.
04:40:08 Devastator: but game died before being able to do that.
04:40:39 Devastator: Did you guys get the fort covered?
04:41:46 syv: No, because I've had a purring cat in my lap, and this makes it difficult to get up.
04:48:26 MidJag: I think tigers can purr
04:50:01 syv: Pumsy is a magic creature that doesn't have to obey physical rules though. Hell, he doesn't even have lungs.
04:50:03 Devastator: Yeah, but pumsy isn't a tiger.
04:50:11 syv: ...But I've never described him as purring, I don't believe.

05:03:46 syv: Well, Squad looks like something I'd love if I had reliable internet. Which I don't. So... yeah.
05:04:17 MidJag: Squad looks cool, not sure my comp could play it though, Hmmm
05:04:20 PW: Almost There: The Platformer
05:04:53 PW: Swords and Soldiers 2 Shawarmageddon
05:05:11 PW: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
05:05:58 syv: State of Mind sounds kinda neat.
05:06:01 PW: Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus
05:06:47 syv: I've seen
ER play StS, seems cool, but not so much that I've pursued it.
05:07:01 syv: ...I also just tend to pirate SP games that I'm interested in.
05:07:20 PW: These are all free for whoever wants them. I have humble bundle and these are all games I'm not interested in
05:09:28 PW: Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered
05:11:32 syv: Road Redemption has local co-op?
05:11:48 syv: That's weird for something modern..
05:13:09 syv: Looks kinda like badass mario kart.
05:17:33 PW: EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 4.1 The Shadow of New Despair
05:17:53 Devastator: CS is interesting, but replay value is somewhat limited.
05:18:29 Devastator: Might be fun to speedrun.
05:22:59 syv: Was EDF that game you were raving about at one point?
05:23:14 PW: Its the one where you shoot giant bugs, yes
05:23:33 syv: Well if you'd recommend it, then that's totally something I'd be interested in.
05:23:48 syv: A good splitscreen shooter would be really nice to have around.
05:24:03 syv: Road Redemption also looks pretty fun.
05:25:14 syv: The Warhammer one might be something I'd like, I like turn based tactics. Not a priority though, I tend to dislike many and have a bit of a backlog.
05:27:29 PW: EDF is gonna be hit or miss.
05:27:45 PW: people either like it or don't, no middle ground
05:28:05 PW: I'd suggest wing diver to start with. They're fun and can move very fast
05:28:38 PW: Though the support class can call in all sorts of cool crap
05:29:58 Devastator: where's the giant mech class?
05:33:01 PW: He is very standard but also the most balanced
05:33:27 PW: Wing diver is fragile but has a jet pack
05:33:47 MidJag: I'll take mutant year zero, looks fun.
05:34:04 MidJag: and I tend to like Mutants and such.
05:34:07 PW: I was actually just saying that looks cool, I wasn't giving it away ~
05:34:23 MidJag: Thought your were talking about the one above it
05:34:32 PW: I just saw it while looking stuff up and was like "Oooh, that looks cool"
05:34:47 PW: Air raider is the giant mech class
05:34:58 PW: they're support class that calls in vehicles, air strikes, etc
05:35:13 syv: I took EDF & Road Redemption.
05:35:17 PW: Fencer is a guy in power armor who uses super heavy weapons
05:35:34 syv: Not gonna install either just now though, because it says it'll take twelve hours for the smaller one...
05:38:54 MidJag: State of mind looks like it might be one of those games that's way too full of itself.
05:39:29 Devastator: sometimes that works.
05:39:56 PW: sometimes people are smug because the did a good job
05:41:24 syv: Borderlands is a good game.
05:41:46 Devastator: also full of itself.
05:41:59 syv: Ehhh. More... parodic of itself?
05:42:01 MidJag: Yeah, but it's talking about like Elon Musk and has yet to show me any actual gameplay.
05:42:15 Devastator: refusal to show gameplay is a very bad sign.
05:42:31 syv: Whereas that sounds like a game that deserves someone else parodying it.
05:42:50 MidJag: appears to be like a adventure game/like walking aaround game?
05:43:33 MidJag: It does look good in it's own blocky way
05:43:59 Devastator: is peter molyneaux involved?
05:44:38 MidJag: It's like the Virtual Transhumanism is AI good or evil or whatever.
05:45:47 PW: (Binary domain is a fun game about robots)
05:46:26 MidJag: Ah, and it's one of those games that want's to be a movie.
05:46:47 syv: Thanks for the free games~

05:53:04 MidJag has left #einsteinianroulette
06:06:21 Devastator: "I wish intramural tank combat was a sport."
06:07:56 Devastator: I'd bet someone would have wished school to be more fun at some point.
06:10:37 syv: I had been considering making it canon that tank combat is a high school sport in some foreign country. Maybe Germany. Maybe America.
06:11:12 syv: Tooru's father and brother are supposed to be fans of some sport, I could go off the deep end and say that it's tank warfare.
06:11:32 Devastator: have it be jousting.
06:11:38 Devastator: modern jousting might be cool.
06:11:53 Devastator: and it wouldn't be that imbalancing.
06:11:59 syv: That's very amusing for reasons.
06:12:39 syv: ...It is very tempting, though.
06:12:40 Devastator: sekret seekrit reasons?
06:13:30 syv: I was gonna have her father drag her off to watch a game, and that'd be happening when Pumsy comes around screaming about the next invasion.
06:14:05 Devastator: well, could be motor racing.
06:14:08 Devastator: that lasts all day.
06:14:58 Devastator: if you want a place that's more enclosed and difficult to get out, something like basketball or bike racing or such would be good.
06:15:17 syv: Was thinking that the specific sport is problematic, because I know very little about most sports, and there's an awful lot of variance in popular sports by country, which implies locality somewhat no matter what I choose.
06:15:20 Devastator: any particular sort of place you want?
06:15:37 syv: Going with something wholly fictional solves that, but adds the bit of insanity that "Oh yeah, rhis world has bits of insanity in it, everyone just accepts it as normal" right in the players' face.
06:15:39 Devastator: that's popular everywhere except NA.
06:15:43 syv: Something with some degree of a stadium.
06:15:52 Devastator: big stadium or small stadium?
06:16:13 syv: Yes, I was thinking soccer was the best. But... calling it "soccer" and not "football" is an NA thing, to my understanding?
06:16:25 Devastator: but you're from NA, so I'd use the term you know.
06:16:48 Devastator: what would be good.. hmm..
06:17:11 syv: And if I say football, being an american, well.
06:17:21 syv: It does appeal to me that jousting or something is a local sport, that the country's culture celebrates as their own special thing.
06:18:03 Devastator: I'm thinking something real but obscure to the point where it seems made up.
06:19:51 Devastator: There's a southeast asian game where people pass balls around by kicking them in air with some far more complicated and advanced rules to it than the similar games in NA.
06:20:05 Devastator: I can't remember the name of it, but it's crazily popular where it's popular and unknown everywhere else.
06:20:34 Devastator: If you add a bat or implement to it it'd be pretty near unique yet generic enough to be paraphrased.
06:20:49 Devastator: ie, people whack balls at each other from a good distance apart.
06:20:51 syv: Small stadium, I guess? Makes more sense, this being a relatively minor city in a relatively minor country, but... honestly I just don't have much of a frame of reference.
06:21:20 Devastator: it'd be smallish, take up maybe as much room as a 400m running track.
06:21:50 Devastator: the asian game is usually played indoors, but you'd add more room with an implement.
06:21:57 Devastator: but sure, go with jousting.
06:25:20 Devastator: might be too similar to volleyball.
06:25:27 Devastator: They'd compete with each other if both were common.
06:25:51 syv: It is indeed. Pity that Alida doing volleyball has already been stated.
06:26:20 syv: If I were gonna retcon something, that'd be a nice one, actually looks like a neat sport.
06:27:27 syv: Adding midair kicks to something is a good way to make it cooler, methinks.
06:27:56 Devastator: mobility in volleyball would be a huge advantage.
06:28:05 Devastator: mobility in Sepak Takraw would lead to outright murder.
06:29:55 syv: Ooh, ooh, fixing the weirdness with Alida sending a girl to the hospital!
06:30:09 Devastator: it's not that weird.
06:30:20 Devastator: but if she'd did that with a rattan ball, that girl would be dead.
06:31:38 Devastator: That might be going a bit too far.
06:35:00 sy has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:35:50 Devastator: Alida might actually get to participate in that.
06:36:24 Devastator: breaking new ground for the 'aint no rule' thing. ;-p
06:36:26 syv has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
06:37:13 syv: If jousting is canonically a local sport, that gives opportunities for people to join it, which is awesome on several levels.
06:37:24 syv: Especially because Alida comes with her own built-in mount to joust off of.
06:37:49 Devastator: Probably carry someone else, Effigy is far too expensive to waste on a sport.
06:37:58 syv: Overpowered? Maybe! Absolutely awesome? Definitely!
06:38:12 syv: No, no, actually jousting against a witch.
06:38:18 Devastator: Ahh, yes, can happen.
06:38:29 syv: They probably wouldn't let you ride your dog anyway.
06:38:30 Devastator: I do think she'd need to practice it, though.
06:38:37 Devastator: pfft, just dress it up as a horse.
06:38:42 Devastator: dogs aren't that big, after all.
06:39:13 Devastator: so if it looks more like a horse maybe people will think she's one. ;-p
06:40:00 syv: Might get disqualified for being a clearly unhealthy mutant horse.
06:43:10 Devastator: Nah, alida riding herself is something that'll very likely happen.
06:43:26 Devastator: need another TM level to make her club pointy, but it seems likely.
06:43:50 Devastator: and you've said too many teeth a few times, but I thought only a few of them were poking out.
06:44:10 Devastator: which is weird, but horse faces are like all muzzle.
06:44:48 Devastator: It'd be a very good way to practice jousting.
06:45:15 syv: I've been visualizing more like "the jaw is so full of teeth that the lips don't fully cover them, the tips remaining visible."
06:45:34 syv: Do dogs have lips? Jowls? Cheeks? Mouth flaps?
06:46:29 Devastator: not cheeks so much, but yeah they got lips.
06:46:40 Devastator: and really big tongues.
06:46:59 Devastator: that's also really big teeth.
06:48:23 Devastator: but yeah, horses don't have pointy teeth.
06:50:33 syv: Yes. Alida's wolf form is ridiculously toothy, both in size and number.
06:51:03 Devastator: Those'll be useful.
06:51:52 Devastator: single row, though right?
06:57:06 Devastator: eh, someone will just keep her mouth open via vertical stick. ;-p
06:57:11 Devastator: you know the movies.
06:58:54 Devastator: CC should take care of that.
06:58:57 Devastator: or, you know, a paw.
07:02:14 syv: Helps to have a human brain.
07:02:41 syv: Or at least a soul gem with a... well it's not really a human soul anymore, but close enough.
07:03:02 Devastator: I don't know if any of the other girls would count for that either, really.
07:09:28 Devastator: eh, who would have 'human souls'
07:10:52 Devastator: sounds like a 'bad question' then.
07:12:08 syv: You're liches, not humans.
07:12:11 Devastator: Also, pumsy can teleport
07:12:33 Devastator: magical girls are lichs.
07:12:44 syv: Of course he can teleport.
07:12:59 Devastator: Right, that's pink and not purple.
07:13:23 Devastator: keep getting them mixed up.
07:13:35 Devastator: probably still best level 1 power.
07:14:43 Devastator: blink blink blink blink blink blink blink.
07:14:45 syv: He's pink *and* purple. Purple stripes. Tiger.
07:15:03 Devastator: ahh, cute little demon.
07:15:03 syv: And yes, I love teleport spam as a trope, so I had to have that.
07:15:40 Devastator: plus it was actually part of the show.
07:17:17 syv: Did we ever see cubae teleport?
07:17:35 syv: I know he walked through the wall of Homura's refuge, but it was a magic wall.
07:17:48 syv: Yeah, much like Pumsy, he just appeared places.
07:17:51 Devastator: it was an ordinary wall with something on top of it.
07:18:48 Devastator: I'm sure Kyubei could have done that.
07:25:33 Devastator: oh, I think there's a prize fund for this, actually.
07:25:37 Devastator: it's not huge, it's a few thousand.
07:26:44 syv: It's $3000 plus what fans add through donations and bits.
07:27:04 syv: Winner gets... something like 40%? Or therabouts?
07:30:26 Devastator: ouch, BRUTAL second clear level there.
07:30:31 Devastator: hideous luck getting that one.
07:31:46 Devastator: wow, bad first game for both of them.
07:37:07 syv: They seem to be having rather poor luck.
07:39:46 Devastator: ryu has gotten multiple first clears.
07:43:01 syv: Kind've a pity that they're doing expert rather than super expert.
07:43:18 syv: I know expert is where the real levels are, but super expert is fun anyway.
07:48:02 Devastator: super expert is not good for this kinda race.
07:53:26 Devastator: what the hell are these levels?
07:55:23 syv: It doesn't even seem like the same pool as in the Ryu vs IIPK match.
07:55:34 Devastator: they had some great levels.
07:55:40 Devastator: there's some overlap.
07:59:56 Devastator: Also, Danstra isn't in the same class as Ryu and IIPK.
08:06:21 syv: Apparently, in terms of average clears per match, Ryukahr is in third place.
08:07:11 Devastator: IIPK just has never had a shit level set.
08:10:45 Devastator: he skips well, but sometimes everyone gets stalled.
08:12:54 Devastator: 'ryukahr's level looks extremely tough, think he's going to do it anyway.'
08:18:24 Devastator: nah, not really. Third game dan got some much better levels. Ryu hit a dry spell and was easy with the skips.
08:18:46 Devastator: I think he just sits back after two wins a little.
08:19:46 syv: That's not a good habit in a points competition.
08:20:09 Devastator: It isn't really a points competition.
08:20:14 Devastator: just gotta be top 8 of 12.
08:20:20 Devastator: he's prolly already qualified.
08:22:44 Devastator: if they reseed agressively, then yeah, you very much want to be #1
08:24:19 syv: I mean in general, since I figure the finals will be a similar format. Though... yeah, prolly won't matter, with how a win is either 3 or 4 points.
08:25:20 Devastator: I don't think he's mathmatically clinched, but it'd be very weird to end up 9th with that point total.
08:26:26 syv: I'm pretty sure he'd suddenly have to start losing everything. There's more than four junk players.
08:36:23 Devastator: those levels were shit.
08:43:42 syv: ...It seems
MJ did not actually upload a save. He uploaded a working DF folder, but the region1 folder only has the raws. No... actual save data.
08:45:22 syv: I'm a bit perplexed how one would accomplish that. The folder *name* is unchanged from what I uploaded, so he can't have just grabbed the wrong DF folder.
08:46:08 syv: And even while the game's running, if you copy the files you'll just copy the last saved version.
08:46:23 syv: What would Steam have to do with it?
08:46:50 Devastator: maybe it put the files somewhere else.
08:47:29 syv: DF is not a steam game, that comes after the next release and polishing cycle.
08:47:54 syv: Even if it was, I uploaded the entire game folder, including the game, so no other app should have had anything to do with it.
08:48:08 Devastator: I don't know what happened.
08:48:34 syv: My guess is that Dropbox hit an error at some point, stopped uploading (...despite the game working...? And no save files existing at all?), and
MJ didn't notice.
08:48:36 Devastator: I do know
MJ was talking about ascii.
08:48:43 Devastator: yeah, that would make sense.
