⏴ go to previous day
02:05:13 *** Wormnest has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
02:20:53 *** debdog has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
02:49:44 *** D-HUND is now known as debdog
05:29:59 *** Smedles has joined #openttd
08:55:09 <andythenorth> I think a orange
08:58:00 <_zephyris> Just had an orange chocolate pain-au-chocolat, excellent.
09:23:50 <peter1138> Won't you be my wagon wheel?
11:52:53 *** Born_Acorn has joined #openttd
12:52:49 *** Born_Acorn has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
13:11:01 <andythenorth> fishfinger & chips
13:11:11 <andythenorth> are we changing the OpenTTD logo to an X?
13:11:52 *** Born_Acorn has joined #openttd
13:28:43 *** Born_Acorn has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
14:27:43 <talltyler> No, we actually know the value of an established brand
14:36:02 <alfagamma_0007> Thank God Tyler for that
15:11:15 <kamnet> It's funny, Tweets are now going to be known as Xs. Citadel software has been using "X" messages since 1990.
15:43:18 <LordAro> I'm increasingly convinced that he's just intentionally driving it into the ground as "retribution" for being forced to buy it in the first place
15:44:32 <pickpacket> I’m wondering why big brands are still advertising on the platform
15:45:04 <pickpacket> and as my friend said when I told them: ”x.com” sounds like a porn site”
15:45:40 <pickpacket> So no xTTD then? ;)
15:47:53 <peter1138> There were some that refered to the game as "OpenTTDX", thinking that "DX" is some abbreviation of "deluxe" from Transport Tycoon Deluxe.
15:48:03 <pickpacket> Something I’m entirely not surprised by is that the thread about a good shares buying system in the game puttered out without any (to me) inspiring suggestions
15:48:30 <pickpacket> most people still think OpenTTD is an abbreviation
15:49:32 *** Wormnest has joined #openttd
15:56:11 <peter1138> Anyway, there can't be that many people left posting on 𝕏...
15:58:02 <peter1138> I'm joking, most people don't care. Same with Reddit, they'll still be posting...
16:01:23 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
16:22:50 <_jgr_> An awful lot of the posting that is left is people begging for bluesky invites 😛
16:23:16 <peter1138> Trash-place before it even started.
16:30:28 <kamnet> @pickpacket You didn't find my suggestion for shares->hostile takeover to be inspiring?
16:51:10 *** Smedles_ has joined #openttd
16:54:33 *** Smedles has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
17:50:40 <frosch123> flherne: we received 3 more employee performance reviews, with slight alterations
17:51:17 <alfagamma_0007> Are these pranks of some sort?
18:28:42 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
18:38:40 <DorpsGek> - Update: Translations from eints (by translators)
18:41:01 <FLHerne> frosch123: is your performance improving? :p
18:41:57 <frosch123> yes, i am deleting more spam mails than before
19:29:55 *** gelignite has quit IRC (Quit: Stay safe!)
19:57:22 *** HerzogDeXtEr has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
20:11:23 *** nielsm has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
20:44:54 <pickpacket> kamnet: it’s definitely one of the better ones
20:48:04 <pickpacket> There are some serious questions to answer before any really good suggestion can be formulated, though.
20:48:48 <pickpacket> 1) What purpose would buying/selling shares/stocks have? What exactly does it add to gameplay?
20:49:53 <pickpacket> 2) What happens to money in a transaction? If company A spends £X on shares of company B, does that mean B now has £X more in its coffers? What does that do to the company value?
20:51:09 <pickpacket> 3) Depending on what the answer to 1 is buying shares in competitor companies might not be the best solution at all. Maybe we should have a stock market for cargos and industries?
20:56:04 *** esselfe has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
20:57:49 <andythenorth> just make it content-ish
20:59:47 <FLHerne> frosch123: we still don't know if the extra mails are my fault or would have been sent anyway - to test this please travel back in time 20 years and start an OpenTDD project that will be identical in every way, as a control :p
21:00:06 <FLHerne> but don't let me download the spam in that case
21:01:05 *** esselfe has joined #openttd
21:24:58 <G3cko> I have a bug with SH '125'. Pax can't be loaded. Only mail. V13.3
21:32:12 <FLHerne> Not a bug, original TTD 'feature'
21:33:15 <FLHerne> (inspired in turn by real-life HST power cars, which have luggage vans)
21:39:03 <_glx_> oh nice the bridge is skiping messages
21:41:36 <dwfreed> checked, no, the missed message is a discord one; was probably deleted ?
21:41:48 <dwfreed> 2023-07-25 21:24:58 -!- G3cko [~G3cko@2a05:d014:870:d202:1:585c:d887:c8cc] has joined #openttd

21:45:19 <truebrain> Wait, Discord usernames can now contain uppercase letters? I couldn't 😦
21:46:30 <truebrain> Ah, not converted account yet
21:46:54 *** dwfreed[d] has joined #openttd
21:46:54 <dwfreed[d]> Was going to say, the change username box is definitely not letting me specify an uppercase character
21:46:59 <dwfreed[d]> and I'm a converted account
