00:53:53 Devastator: looks like we win in Kitten.
00:56:29 Egan: I have decided on the FPS game I would like to will into existence
00:57:41 Egan: [s]lethal company but with rifles[/s]
00:58:18 Egan: small group co-op with eldritch horror and tacticool
00:58:32 Egan: and you get paid to kill things and bring their corpses back
00:58:47 Egan: but the problem is that not everything you meet is something you can like, kill
00:58:53 Egan: so you have to figure that out
00:59:24 Egan: if it has a body you can probably shoot it a bunch, but some things could be more strange
00:59:49 Egan: and then probably something like getting penalties for being too obvious around civilians?
01:00:27 Egan: like maybe you're playing as a more illicit research orginization and if you're too obvious the actual foundation shows up to deal with you
01:01:06 Devastator: The time limit is good.
01:01:12 Devastator: and there might be more complicated killing methods.
01:01:23 Devastator: like you have to kill it under a flashlight and filling it with bullets.
01:01:28 Devastator: or melee weapons only work.
01:02:41 Egan: I'd prefer no *constant* time limit
01:03:12 Egan: if you're careful to not activate anything you can loiter as long as you want to observe stuff
01:04:58 Devastator: Maybe getting hit should burn time.
01:05:04 Devastator: anyway, brb, gotta snowblow.
01:31:06 Devastator: it's nice when the wind isn't blowing.
01:31:17 Devastator: but I need to buy fresh gasoline for it.
01:31:30 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
01:33:16 Devastator: Yeah, I do need fresh gasoline for my snowblower.
01:34:10 Egan: is a snowblower just a leafblower?
01:34:46 Devastator: No, they're very different.
01:35:04 Devastator: basically they're like horizontal woodchippers with self-propelled wheels.
01:35:56 Devastator: they have a giant augur-like thing that chops up snow and shoves it towards the back-middle of the machine, where basically a snow impeller shoves it up and through a pipe.
01:37:08 Devastator: They're not sharp like woodchippers and the blades are much further apart, but they're still pretty dangerous.
01:58:41 Devastator: mmm, GWG, meet
syv.
02:07:39 Devastator: that guy really was all over the internet.

03:10:54 MJ has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:15:45 Devastator: the guy who documented the entire Mario 64 A button Challenge.
03:15:59 Devastator: which they knocked another half a press off a while ago.
03:16:07 Devastator: the one in Watch for Rolling Rocks, which is hilarious.
03:16:24 Devastator: the video that introduced the ABC to the world.
03:18:27 MJ: Oh yeah it's been snowing here
03:21:25 MJ: Just an inch or two. Enough to make things pretty
03:22:52 Devastator: we got about a foot here in the last two days.
03:23:06 MJ: A buddy of mine in Maine got like 2 feet or something
03:23:08 Devastator: Yeah, not so bad, but I need fresh gas for my snowblower.
03:25:14 Devastator: Yeah, it starts a lot harder with degraded gas.
03:37:44 Devastator: kitten rescue is going well.
03:39:50 MJ: I heard that the plane is currently heading towards the ground

05:49:24 Devastator: Yes we killed Jimothy.
05:49:35 Devastator: the gun die rolls started coming up our way.
08:30:01 syv: "lethal company but with rifles"
08:30:17 syv: I thought of that too and talked about it with
MJ
08:30:28 syv: Since then he's been insisting I do gamedev and try to make it
08:34:35 syv: But I would make a game where all your problems are enemies with guns, and all your solutions are shooting said enemies, with YOUR guns.
09:06:02 Devastator: that doesn't sound like lethal company,
syv.
09:08:10 syv: Well, I said something like "lethal company's maps, with the home base and random enemy spawns after dark"
09:10:11 Devastator: Need to add some variety, but yeah.
09:10:17 Devastator: I could see something like that.
09:10:25 Devastator: you wouldn't have exclusively gun enemies, but..
09:11:10 Devastator: Mayby there's a chopper or something, you land, get stuff, and leave, while the enemy filters in and starts attacking you.

09:22:34 Devastator: some guns, some animals, some freakish stuff.
09:43:27 Devastator: Mmm. Trying one of the kenyan countries in Vicky 3.
09:43:42 Devastator: They have some serious issues with social mobility. I can't refill my army because there aren't enough officers.
10:16:20 Devastator: Mmm. Also looks like you really, really want the first free tech in Society spread to be Academia, so you can enable actual schools.
10:16:29 Devastator: That's a 1/4 chance.
10:16:54 Devastator: That'll allow you to have more than the near-zero ability for social mobility.
10:20:09 Devastator: Right, you start without Rationalism.
10:20:21 Devastator: That needs to be your first research, and then you need to roll Academia as your second one.
10:23:15 Devastator: I need two luck factors to begin with.
10:23:32 Devastator: my first command block needs to have someone with an offensive bonus. That's very likely, I just didn't get that.
10:23:51 Devastator: and I need my free spread on Social to be Academia.
10:23:58 Devastator: Other than that, that should be all for luck factors.
10:28:50 Devastator: and there we go. Took three tries. "Direct, Supply Requisitions Officer" is about as good as it gets.
11:46:48 syv: "Kenyan countries need to be quite lucky if their goal is to be particularly successful" seems like a logical design.
12:10:50 Devastator: I'm trying for a rocket start. I can do fine without a rocket start, just trying for the absolute best.
12:11:02 Devastator: I didn't realize the main issue with officers, acutally.
12:11:14 Devastator: it was due to being on 'peasant levy' laws for army organization.
12:11:27 Devastator: that means, basically, 'only aristocrats and very rare soldiers can turn into officers.'
12:11:45 Devastator: add in a 5% literacy rate, and well..
12:12:07 Devastator: most aristocrats couldn't become officers, because they couldn't read.
12:14:40 Devastator: Changing that opens up officer slots to non-aristocrats, which makes things much more reasonable.
12:14:50 Devastator: Also, having a military genius with your army can really get stuff done.
12:33:12 Devastator: also, 'Serfdom' was in effect.
12:33:37 Devastator: so getting peasants off the land was also mostly blocked.
