Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Conan, what is best in [chat]?

I thought about buying it, but then the Minecraft guy couldn't pony up a free copy of his multi million dollar generating game and instead gave a "free trial" I got a bad vibe and decided not bother with it.
RE: VisibleHowl. It thought VVVVVV WAS a flash game. I know I've played it and I definitely haven't bought it.
I spent $10 on the Humble Bundle, but frankly I've been pretty disappointed in most of the games.
I already owned Braid and Osmos, and Machinarium is great, but for the most part, the others play like flash games I play on the internet.
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do."
But are there any falcons at your breast?
Are mad people are setting their own quite reasonable prices for games?
I think he says wrist but it totally sounds like breast. Conan is still one of my fav movies.
Are we excited for the new one? At least it is rated R and I like Jason Momoa. He was tits on Game of Thrones. Sometimes quite literally, those things are like canned hams.
It's the accent.
Instead, I was beaten to the punch by Conan.
Makes me want to shout the goggles, zey do nothing. Dunno why.
Y'all should watch Cave Dwellers the MST3K episode if you like Conan. It is so Italian and Conan made for $5.
There's actually a pretty good reason why Christianity post 4th century is so uniform compared to the first 300 years.
During its first 300 years (as near as people can work out) the religion grew at a steady pace of around 40% per decade (from a very small initial population). This is actually just about the same rate of growth as the Mormon church in the US. Anyway, by the early 300s that meant Christians were getting up there in numbers (couple million, almost entirely urban poor) but still a very small minority in the Roman world. Maybe as much as 7% of the population (probably more like 4-5%).
They had next to no politicial clout and the populace in general really didn't like them (with good reason). Then something very odd happened. For some reason (and the only records of this event come from way after the fact) Constantine converted to Christianity (possibily before, possibly after becoming emperor). He also was a very successful ruler (he was emperor for 31 years, which is an extremely long time compared to most) after a long period of instability.
Over the course of a generation, Christianity grew from being a tiny minority with no political power to being the pet project of a very effective supreme dictator. By the mid 4th century, in terms of raw numbers, the religion had increased from 4-7% of the empire to over 50% of the total population. And this growth included a great deal of the movers and shakers (suddenly being a Christian was a good career move to say the least).
But it was only one brand of Christianity (among many) that received the massive Imperial favors of money, land, power and military force. Compared to some of the legitimately Christian sects of the first 300 years the modern Mormons are downright orthodox.
Every brand of Christianity today (every. single. one) is descended directly from the one brand that was favored by the Roman Empire in the 4th century and which eventually became Catholic.
I don't quite get what you're saying here. Maybe "free copy" of Minecraft wasn't the right word choice. Regardless, he didn't include a copy of his game in the bundle, or if he did, you will eventually have to buy it separately because the trial ends in a week or so.
Basically it comes off like these guys donated their games and let people set the price for them. They're very good for doing this because people often just give them a penny or outright pirate the games regardless. Minecraft isn't taking this risk, but is definitely getting the advertisement for it, but if you like the game you're gonna have to pay full price for it and it alone, regardless of what you donated for the Bundle itself.
Seriously, what a rip off.
I can't believe they expect you to pay at least $0.01
I think you'd enjoy it. Ship design follows the premise of stuff getting better as your tech level goes up. So version 1.5 of my system defense frigates were the same design but 5% faster, could go a few more minutes without refueling, had slightly more armor, etc. Version 2 let me shrink the amount of crew needed, so it has the same speed and stats as v1.5 but it's main gun is bigger and it has an extra secondary laser. With the Galactic Armory mod, I would say ship design is just about MOO2 robust. MOO2 had some firing arc options and everything could be PD. But Star Ruler allows for super granularity of design.
It just sounds like something a modern day father might say, not a warlord.
You beat me to reposting it.
Anyway, I have long respected Julian for his (futile) attempts to roll back the State support of the Christian church. It would have been interesting if he'd lasted another decade or so, instead of his untimely death
I see no problem here.
But..Notch is also the #2 donator out of his own pocket...I mean. Come on.
Will you put it on the hood of your car?
I don't know anything about it outside of it's a charity and you can buy a bundle of games for your own price. If the Minecraft guy has a financial stake in it, then I'm wrong.
Non-Christians get a subconscious thrill when they steal Christ from the Christians.
I believe he's been in the top 5 donators for all of the bundles. I dunno, I threw some money at them and totally think it was worth it, and that was before they tacked like, 6 more games onto it (although I owned a few of them). Some of the games are or were flash games, like I played VVVVV a long time ago, although I think I played like a demo version back when I would get bored and play games on kongregate. It's still a really solid platformer (well, not like, super meat boy solid, but close).
That would be stolen so fast.
A lot of their posters would be kinda nice if they didn't say GAMEINFORMER or whatever on them in big letters.
