(Dreaming, a loud voice is heard) Who are you? What do you want?
I don't understand
Who are you? What do you want?

You were dreaming.
Yes.
About what? You're thinking about escape again, aren't you. Don't. There's no way off Z'Ha'Dum. Might as well give up. Reconcile yourself, as I did.
The first obligation of a prisoner is to escape.
Ah. So, if one is a prisoner of love, one must escape to solitude? If one is a prisoner to joy, must one escape to sadness? I see you're still upset that I won't tell you my name. But what does it matter? If I tell you my name is …
All this talk about thought/memory reminded me of this excerpt from an episode of Babylon 5.
@RavenDreamer Seriously though, going on the notion that you believe in consensual reality, things change based on how many people perceive them. If 6 people say the car that just sped by was green and 1 says it was blue, the person who says it was blue is considered "wrong" and the car thusly becomes green by virtue of having a larger consensus.
@RavenDreamer I've honestly had a really tough time convincing people who aren't regular users of the site that ITG is a bad idea. Most people I talk to think it's awesome because of human fallibility.
@GnomeSlice - All we have to go on for ITG questions is the author's memory. If the author has unknowingly misattributed memories of the game, there is no one who can tell him that he's wrong.
@FallenAngelEyes Mostly, it's because I see that many such questions, for everything that might be wrong with those questions, do get the answer the asker was looking for
As time has worn on since last-year-ish, and various identify-this-game (ITG) questions worn on GSE denizens, has the community position on them changed? Half the time they seem ridiculously vague, and how answers are voted on seems totally random, which seems to distort the point of reps (thoug...
I'm trying to remember the name of a certain game with a few peculiarities.
The game's theme is cold. You start from a warm safe spot and have to move from safe spot to safe spot to the end of each level. In the middle there is cold, which damages you, and baddies, which you have to kill.

My brother and I are getting back into playing the original Age of Mythology together, with our favorite map being Jotunheim.
He always kicks my butt though, and I think part of it has to do with him being the first to build walls and gates at the holes. I've tried rushing to build the walls, m...
@FallenAngelEyes but consider @LessPop's response to that: "@oak: That answer rate is actually substantially lower than our answer rate site-wide. More to the point, as tzenes has shown, users who come to the site via ITG roughly 40% more likely than other users to never cast more than one up vote, or to put it another way, to fire their question into the void and then disappear forever"
The game I'm looking for is a 2D vertical shooting game.
The graphics were better than Raptor and I think it's a Windows game. I remember it had an upgrade system (weapons for ships like missiles). It wasn't set in space, and consisted of multiple levels. It was released before 2000, and was lik...
@FallenAngelEyes Well... you can let the people ask their ITG questions, and probably not retain most of them, or you can ban ITG altogether, and not retain any of them. No?

This is the teaser for PAX Prime's Omegathon Round 3. What game will it be?
This game will probably have a strong multi-player component, with short rounds and a clear winner....
ITG questions suffer from limited scope (only the OP can determine the correctness of the given answers), the SE format (why upvote an answer when we cannot determine if it's right or even helpful?), and use as reference material (not only is the question only likely to help the OP, it is entirely likely that even people trying to remember the same game will remember different parts of it).
This question was closed as not constructive. It's about identifying which game will be played at an upcoming competition, based on some teaser information and similar previous competitions.
Why was it closed? Could someone please explain why this was not constructive?

I probably won't be able to select an answer (for sure) until the end of the month
In other words, all the answers are guesses. Only the answerer with magical powers to see the future, or with luck on their side, can accurately answer the question. When put that way, can you see why it's u...
That's a pretty good answer against ITG in general.
@NickT My main concern is, if we decide to come up with a policy regarding outright banning ITG, that we are holding all question up to the same standard of scrutiny and not just ITG because of the nature of the question.
@ArdaXi I agree, hence why I don't think that using reasons like "too localized" or "too vague" should be the defining point of any new take we come up with the deal with ITG. We should be cracking down on all questions that have those problems, not criticizing only ITG questions for it when say, there's a StarCraft II question left open with the same problems that we're not holding under the same scrutiny.
@ArdaXi I don't believe that that is true and even tzenes agrees that we shouldn't be closing questions based on a supposition of how few people it may or may not help.
@ArdaXi And how many people are going to have the exact same troubleshooting issue you have or the exact same build that you're running and want advice on?
I am not disagreeing that ITG questions are problematic and that we need to take steps, whether it be policy changes or whatever, in order to address them. But I do disagree that banning them on the grounds of perceived usefulness to others would be a poor decision.
@ArdaXi Then there is nothing more to say on the matter, and we can agree to disagree. :)
And on that note, I think I'll kick back back and relax and play some Touhou
I've been poking around in the options menu, trying to find a option for window mode. But, I can't seem to find any.
So, is there any way to get this game running in window mode?
@ArdaXi what users did you deny access to the key?
it seems odd that you should deny the current user but then launch the game with shift (assuming that is admin rights it should negate what you just did)
@ArdaXi So you claim that if I modify a registry key to deny the current user "Set Value" permissions, I will be irrevocably unable to give myself those rights back

I denied everything to my user then made the owner some other user, so I can't access the file at all, but whenever I go to the permissions window, Windows constantly tells me that "you can't see the permissions but click here to take ownership so you can"
I'm not perfect. All I know is I once had to sacrifice an entire day trying to regain access to a file after messing with permissions, and I do not wish to repeat that, so I'm not going to risk it.

No. (Apparently answers must be thirty characters, so there's this)
Does it matter to the story whether you use lethal or non lethal in deus ex?
Does it make a difference in the gameplay? eg with exp or whatnot
