You need to view her profile page and invite her to group from the drop down box there because Steam is very intuitive...

I can't find the option to do that, @beanith might have to do it?

Also, could I be added back as an officer

Well I have been watching some videos from a guy named Splitsie on YouTube. Seems to cover the basics in an approachable way.

A basic assembler, a basic refinery, a H2O2 converter and some power sources along with a survival unit seems to be the basis. All of these things can be created with Iron, Nickel, Silicon and Silver.

So given Space Engineers (SE) is now the go, what order do I need to fpcus on things? Obviously mining Iron and Silver, but what structures do I need to build to help me refine those into components?

I need an emoji for a tumbleweed

And no activity since 2010 in the group chat ... that's a shame

Installing now ...

Alien Swarm is like multiplayer Crimson Land. It's awesome, and also free - you should all install it.

So, what is Alien Swarm like?

That is true.

You can manually turn off automatic updates (right-click on the game title, it is in the Properties page somewhere). Problem is then a lot of them you can't play online unless you have the latest version.

Hey does Steam do anything but update? My usage is going through the roof. Every time I try to play a game... I can't because it is updating!! WTF?

Well I actually only just got internet connected and gaming PC set up as of right now ... so perhaps there will be upcoming game soon! When is a good day?

No upcoming gaming? *sniff*

Ban noobtubes and watch them all ragequit because they haven't put enough time into engineer to get the Carl Gustav :D

Unable to play tonight. I have to ref some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Bad company 2 game at 7 sorry

And so, I'll be distributing a mem stick with the mods on it to everyone to update their install

It's not like work at all ... at least that's what I tell myself ...

Question re Arma:

I've discovered a way to disable the ACE wounding in missions, the only problem is that I then have to edit all the missions we want to play beforehand. Any interest in restoring the ACE mod to use?

Steam really needs some way to notify me that someone has commented on an event I've posted ...

New events are up, F³ next Friday and the special event, ArmA WARFARE on Tuesday fortnight.

We'll see how we like the Warfare mode in ArmA, it is similar to the Domination mission that we played previously, but supports AI squads with human players as the squad leaders. It also has a base building element, but I'm not totally sure how that works (the readme is probably my friend ...)

Oh, I was just saying that maybe we shouldn't encourage you to play a game where you play a US Marine killing lots of PLA while you are actually in China :P

They do have internet in China... but my laptop can't run ofp

Yeah, I forgot Jim was in China tonight ... so perhaps asking him to join in OFP:DR not such a hot idea :P

Will be late tonight, family dinner

Events need a confirm button. but yes Walt, I should be there

Jim is now our Group Player of the Week: for finally caving in and getting Steam

Jim and Bob, how about Friday evening for some OFP?

So ArmA on Tuesday went pretty OK (a server crash, but I fixed the issue that caused that ..)


Do we have a consensus on whether to play ArmA next Friday? Or shall I arrange for a third person to play OFP:DR with us, Bob?

Check http://leetmotif.net/40k/smf/index.php?topic=268 for the ArmA mods config you'll need for Tuesday.

Well, I've posted an ArmA event for Tueday March 2. Gav, if you have the time free you're welcome to come around on the evening of March 12, my second computer will run ArmA 2 ... oddly just as well as the first (the screen res is lower)

I hate to say it, but Tuesdays is actually good. But so is Friday... Just not this Friday, cos I will be in Hendra. ArmA2 Eh, maybe I'll have to go to someones house to watch it as there is no way this little rig can run it.

OK ArmA2 Friday Feb 26. Starting 8pm-ish. I'll post an event when I can work out how to get it to show up properly ...

OK, Tuesdays clearly aren't working. Discuss evenings that are better for you here or on Toowong D Forum

So ... how the heck do I post an event?
