05:17:24 syv: Did you redeem the MCC gift on Steam?
MJ was having issues with it.
05:18:08 syv: Your gift was listed as the same status, so I wanted to see if you could redeem
05:18:54 Devastator: Nope. Lemme go check.
05:19:36 Devastator: and thank you,
MJ, for not mentioning that when you were hanging around earlier.
05:19:43 Devastator: (Guess he was too busy for troubleshooting.)
05:20:32 syv: Just got the email for you accepting, and it's not showing up as unredeemed for me.
05:20:47 syv: Did you install it, or just click "accept" somewhere...?
05:21:01 Devastator: clicked on it, and then clicked on install.
05:21:08 Devastator: it was pretty simple.
05:21:15 syv: Maybe install is the trigger. I'unno.
05:21:32 Devastator: play any Outer Wilds?
05:21:40 syv: Checked my card, I was charged for all of them, so I imagine it's just an issue of finding the right button.
05:22:05 syv: In fact I'm not sure I've played any computer games in the last two days beside Lethal Company yesterday.
05:23:58 Devastator: too bad, OW is interesting.
05:24:17 Devastator: and there's DROD, too.
05:24:31 syv: I've had more temptation to play DROF
05:24:47 Devastator: Beethro's Ugly Mug.
05:25:06 syv: I'd replace all the portraits with catgirls if I knew how
05:27:32 Devastator: but nah, I'm about 95% sure you'd like Outer Wilds.
05:32:52 Devastator: I was surprised that you like DROD so much.
05:32:57 Devastator: you're the only person I've met who does.
05:35:30 Devastator: Deadly Rooms of.. ?"
05:43:34 Devastator: Outer Wilds has puzzles too.
05:43:34 syv: I also generally just like figuring out mechanics and how things work
05:43:46 syv: And I like things I haven't seen before
05:43:53 Devastator: ...and it's that too.
05:44:09 Devastator: but yeah, makes sense when you put it that way.
05:44:20 syv: Just not in any hurry to play it. ;P
05:44:51 syv: TBH it strikes me as something that I won't want to put down for a few days, and right now I don't feel okay with starting something like that.
05:45:06 syv: I shouldn't have started playing MegaMek when I did really
05:47:05 Devastator: just do woof and all will be forgiven.
06:14:45 syv: Ah excellent, playing halo requires a microsoft account. -.-
06:22:25 syv: Oh that's notable. By default it only installs Halo: Reach.
06:22:43 syv: Have to launch and install other games once in the application.

07:41:37 Devastator: 'by default it only installs Halo: Reach'
07:41:42 Devastator: god, talk about a punishment, that.
07:45:38 syv: I'm sure a lot of people bought MCC thinking "Hey, it's a decent price for Halo: Reach, and I get a few other games as a bonus"
07:46:38 syv: It makes sense that that have it install *a* game by default, so you don't open it for the first time and feel annoyed you have to start a download after logging in.
07:46:53 syv: And Reach is unambiguously the best choice, it
07:47:40 Devastator: That would be people who aren't me.
07:49:01 syv: Well yes, every game surely has people who prefer it. Even Halo 4.
07:49:31 syv: But you don't make the default install download a relatively niche favorite, you make it install THE favorite. :P
07:49:49 syv: And I will fight you if you say playing Reach is a punishment
07:50:07 Devastator: Reach felt like Halo plus the bad parts of CoD.
07:51:24 syv: What are the good parts of CoD?
07:52:08 Devastator: Stuff that was already in halo. Mission flow and pick-up-and-play.
07:53:50 syv: So Reach is just Halo plus CoD?
07:54:55 Devastator: Just the parts that it should have ignored.
07:59:14 Devastator: anyway, I gotta go jump through some hoops to play the collection, since registration seems to be mandatory.
08:09:08 Devastator: and there. Ugh, I hate making new accounts that companies immediately want to link up.
08:41:32 syv: Seems you don't need to link to Steam though.
08:41:45 syv: I just hit X on that window.
08:42:21 syv: Want to play a little CE just to try it?

22:52:41 Egan: just reach defaults to being selected
22:53:01 Egan: <
Egan> same way as selecting which DLCs to install
22:53:01 Egan: <
Egan> ...logbot left at an inconvenient time
22:53:01 Egan: <
Egan> so I'm fairly sure you could set it to install only halo 1 and not reach, if you want
22:53:28 Egan: ugh, guess I have to make a M$ account then
