05:45:03 <ahyangyi> I gave Dorfromantik a try, and somehow it is very tiring for me
05:45:54 <ahyangyi> the problem is that finding a location to place a tile takes longer and longer as I play
05:47:00 <ahyangyi> And that I am constantly making uninteresting decisions

09:08:52 <peter1138> Reddit downvoted the person who said they bought TTD on Steam. Though to be fair the comment was literally just "bought"
09:10:50 <andythenorth> a few steam reviews have strong opinions about Atari
09:11:03 <andythenorth> bit of inevitable confusion in places
09:12:10 <andythenorth> massive non-event so far...now people can use the original graphics?
09:12:17 <andythenorth> dunno I know opinions differ, but eh
09:13:10 <andythenorth> meanwhile how do I turn off pull requests in github?
09:13:15 <andythenorth> must be a setting on the repos
09:13:45 <peter1138> The bundling on Steam appears to be in place now.
09:22:19 <andythenorth> one idiot claiming Atari has taken down OpenTTD
09:22:25 <andythenorth> reddit's gonna reddit
09:36:36 <peter1138> > Deleted branch master (was 1ab4dbe).
09:37:57 <locosage> well, now we know what OpenTTD is abbreviation for
09:38:04 <locosage> Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe Mod :p
09:39:40 <andythenorth> what was the main branch called in svn?
09:47:45 <peter1138> andythenorth, "trunk", but it wasn't a branch, because in svn branches are... shit.
10:19:53 <jfs> peter1138: this is replying to 36 hours old message, but the #tycoon IRC channel on QuakeNet was once owned by me, I set it up and managed it in like 2002 or 2003, and at the time I was strongly anti-OpenTTD. so the channel had an enforced "no OpenTTD discussions whatsoever" rule. at some point I handed management of the channel over and the basis for that rule sort-of vanished, but maybe it was
10:19:53 <jfs> kept for whatever reason.
11:04:13 <andythenorth> Hmm can we just relax and make grfs again? 👀
11:06:13 <peter1138> Play the meta-game.
11:15:42 <andythenorth> I think I’ve been playing the wrong meta-game
12:44:35 <andythenorth> post needs a merge? or are we waiting?
12:48:26 *** _zephyris has joined #openttd
12:48:26 <_zephyris> Merge, but perhaps get someone else's opinion too as I was a bit hasty on Thurs?
13:03:30 <reldred> _zephyris: Seems fine. People with half a brain cell can read between the lines, idiot keyboard warriors will continue to miss the point as always
13:13:03 <emperorjake> Will OpenTTD on Steam/GOG continue to be distributed with OpenGFX2, or will new installs default to the TTD graphics?
13:17:01 *** toktik has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
13:18:49 <talltyler> Still OpenGFX2. It would be nice to detect the TTD graphics and show it as an option in the base graphics dropdown, but we haven’t done that yet
13:26:10 <peter1138> Maybe it's possible to get the working directory of OpenTTD, and extrapolate from that the path to the original graphics.
13:26:35 <peter1138> Well, for Steam at least, not sure about how GoG lays things out.
13:27:06 <andythenorth> shall I buy it on Gog and find out?
13:33:01 <locosage> reldred: surely there are better ways to put it than making advertisement for Atari
13:33:37 <locosage> because right now a lot of people seem to think they'll actually support the game by buying it
13:35:01 <_glx_> peter1138: though you can have multiple steamapps on different drives
13:35:24 <mmtunligit> > idiot keyboard warriors will continue to miss the point as always
13:35:39 <peter1138> You can, yes, though not sure if being considered a "mod" changes that.
13:39:15 *** MinchinWeb[m] has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
13:39:45 *** MinchinWeb[m] has joined #openttd
14:13:06 <_glx_> based on my reading of steamworks API, it seems the steam plugin could get TTD install dir
14:14:17 <peter1138> > This works even if the application is not installed, based on where the game would be installed with the default Steam library location.
14:14:46 <_glx_> would be similar to non exisiting search folders 🙂
14:22:57 <jfkuayue> There is a player on steam saying they had an error launching openttd, "no permission"
14:29:06 <peter1138> Are you feeling alright?
14:44:59 *** Flygon has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
15:02:03 *** gelignite has joined #openttd
15:06:59 <_zephyris> locosage: This is a good point. Could add a reminder of how to donate to OpenTTD
15:52:27 <locosage> also could disclose how much of those 9.99 openttd is going to get 😉
15:52:34 <locosage> and what they're going to be spent on /s
15:52:51 <locosage> purely for the sake of transparency 🤭
15:54:22 <locosage> also, what benefits do people who already own a copy of the original game get by buying it again
15:57:03 <belajalilija> locosage: A lighter wallet
15:58:36 <peter1138> I have weird malted Yorkshire tea, and I'm going to supplement it by dunking a malted biscuit.
16:09:35 <jfkuayue> English problem, why is it "this fucking sucks" instead of an adverb before a verb, and it is unexpected when brough is pronounced as "bruff"
16:10:59 <peter1138> Are you feeling alright?
16:19:01 <belajalilija> peter1138: That sounds awful
16:19:22 <peter1138> It's weird but not as bad as it sounds.
16:19:52 <belajalilija> Is it more like a hot chocolate type drink or still very much tea?
16:21:32 <belajalilija> It was a rhetorical question
16:24:49 <jfkuayue> I am increasing my uk railway network coverage
16:29:38 <belajalilija> I know some things call themselves something but don’t taste of it at all, like cheesecake
16:30:02 <peter1138> A good cheesecake tastes of cheesecake.
16:32:53 <belajalilija> I mean yeah but they don’t taste of cheese, same with tiramisu, they’re both very different
16:36:29 <peter1138> They're made with cheese, and then usually over flavoured stuff added on.
16:36:57 <peter1138> They taste of fresh soft cheese.
16:37:30 <peter1138> It's not some 24 month old aged cheddar...
16:40:39 <rito12_13> cheddar is not a white cheese, is it?
16:42:29 <jfkuayue> for me the category is "tangly cheese, creamy cheese, stinky cheese"
16:49:26 <ahyangyi> jfkuayue: "fucking" is also an adverb
16:50:23 <rito12_13> jfkuayue: what is the difference between tangly and stinky
16:55:14 <LordAro> i'm quite partial to it being used in the middle of words too
16:55:22 <LordAro> like abso-fucking-lutely
16:55:56 <LordAro> i think there's a Tom Scott video on that particular grammatical oddity
16:57:19 <andythenorth> what shall we make today?
16:57:30 <andythenorth> private badges in Horse?
16:57:56 *** notluke2578 has joined #openttd
16:57:58 *** brickblock19280 has joined #openttd
16:59:15 <ahyangyi> so... badged horses jamming a cheesy dock?
16:59:50 <andythenorth> `ih_formation_ruleset` -> `_ih_formation_ruleset`
16:59:57 <andythenorth> is my current project
17:00:15 <ahyangyi> quick polar fox jumps over iron horse
17:01:01 <ahyangyi> oh is it arctic fox?
17:01:20 <andythenorth> is `ih_gen` public or private?
17:01:34 <andythenorth> it provides the vehicle generation, eg ih_gen/2
17:01:58 <ahyangyi> it's private until someone else uses it
17:02:16 <ahyangyi> at which point it's public with no way back
17:02:35 <rito12_13> ahyangyi: you also ate b
17:05:30 <ahyangyi> ahyangyi: Oh, polar.
17:07:05 <belajalilija> peter1138: That’s what i mean, if it tasted more of tea or malt xd
17:07:18 <andythenorth> hmm ih_tech_tree
17:07:23 <andythenorth> public or private
17:07:47 <ahyangyi> who can interact with your badges?
17:07:55 <ahyangyi> only other train wagons?
17:08:30 <andythenorth> unsure if we added AI/GS yet
17:08:41 <andythenorth> any other train vehicle can read them
17:09:23 <ahyangyi> I guess that's public enough
17:23:31 <andythenorth> well that's done
17:23:44 <andythenorth> not on bananas yet, other unfinished changes
17:23:47 <_cyclops_> hey - if i was to reinstall my laptop but want to keep the same 'identity' for when i connect to a remote server, what files should i backup?
17:43:09 <jfkuayue> > Please note that Canon decided that they won't include the shutter count data as a part of your pictures' metadata so, if you upload a picture, there is a high chance that it won't return its shutter count. All of the other EXIF metadata is available, of course. You can try anyway, though. What's the solution? You need to use their official software and connect your Camera to the pc. You can say
17:43:09 <jfkuayue> thanks to Canon for this
17:43:09 <jfkuayue> BUT ONLY FOR WINDOWS AND MAC
17:49:36 <_cyclops_> jfkuayue, you can just strip the exif data from the image i guess?
18:25:28 <jfkuayue> _cyclops_: i need to check my shutter count
19:32:55 *** MinchinWeb[m] has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
19:34:55 *** MinchinWeb[m] has joined #openttd
20:18:19 <_cyclops_> jfkuayue, ah! i think there's a thing in th emenu on the camera somewhere
20:20:03 <jfkuayue> _cyclops_: I have had been through the menu thrice
20:32:17 <belajalilija> I’m glad talks with atari went well and relations are good
20:33:19 <orudge> Yes, just so it's clear, Atari haven't done this unilaterally; it's just unfortunately the Steam rollout has been a bit more problematic than we'd hoped.
20:45:53 <peter1138> jfkuayue, "warning, you have used the shutter 1000 times, please subscribe to enable more photos to be taken"
21:23:38 <jfkuayue> i cannot find an EA in Canon
