Q: Does the abscence of a region restriction notice mean a game is region free?

kotekzotSteam has begun to display region restriction and language info for some games, as seen in the picture. Does the abscence of such a notice indicate that the game on offer is completely region free and not in any way different from releases in other regions (except for those that are region restri...

Q: How to get the Steam Workshop to work with "Civilization V" for a Mac?

Nick AugelloI currently own Civilization V, (not the Gods & Kings expansion,) and have the latest version of it and have subscribed to several items on the Steam Workshop, but when I start-up the game, none of them appear to be in effect. Is there something I'm doing wrong because I'm on a Mac?

Q: How can I enable Civ 5 mods on Mac OS X?

OakOfficially, the Mac OS X version of Civilization V does not support mods. However, from common sense, some discussions I've found online, and Aspyr's poor track record, I'm guessing it is indeed possible to enable the mod browser and mod playing, at least for some mods. So, is it possible? And i...

Q: Resistances on Diablo 3

@Alok Yes, though it takes a long time
 
2:20 AM
@agent86 Ah... your usual mid-day trashing of my love of teh shooterz. MW2 was artwork, but even monkeys throwing crap at a wall will eventually create the Mona Lisa (brown mustache optional). Black Ops had a terrifically bad story, but the multiplayer was actually well polished. Not quite as fun as MW2, but probably a lot more balanced and fair.
@agent86 MW3 was cashing in, but I only wish they'd cashed in more. I missed my Danger Close + Noob tube. I missed my claymores. I missed my OMA dammit!
We'll always have that radical militant shanty in that secluded forest though.... that house was ours.

4:18 AM
I was going through the most recent round of games whose tags had fallen off, re-tagging and I noticed this question which I'm not sure if it's a good question or too localized. It's a question about a demo for a game that has yet to be released, but I can't find anywhere to download the mentioned demo at all and suspect it may not be public if available anymore.
The game was available as a UT3 mod a long time back and it seems they had the demo setup at PAX and some conferences.
Or rather, a very early build was available as a UT3 mod.

There's nothing that allows you to set the difficulty of the AI players, but I'm wondering if there's a way ...

user2334
@ThomasMcDonald Whoever made that really needs to implement error/debug handling
 
user2334
Full query log at the bottom of the page, error pages display implementation details
 
@MarkTrapp It looks like it's built on top of some off-the-shelf CMS, and they forgot to switch the debug flag off.
 
user2334
It's not a CMS, it's CakePHP (a framework), but yeah, the debug flag needs to be set to 0
 
9:59 AM
CakePHP, yes. It looks like a debug/benchmarking module was left on
There's something similar in CodeIgniter, but that one also prints out all the config data, including the encryption key for sessions. At least this one doesn't appear to leak anything sensitive

Q: Will Canadian Motion Controller work in EU PS3?

Miguel RibeiroI have a European PS3 but I'm going to Canada in a couple days and wanted to know if the motion controllers from US will work on my PS3. They are A LOT cheaper there and in Portugal is nowhere easy to find them available to buy used...

 
@Sterno, was Grimrock good? Considering that if it goes on sale during the upcoming maybe not announced yet steam sale.
 
@DaveMcClelland me neither. But the basic idea as I understand it was that Arda was tired of being joked about as a person who argues with everyone about everything, so he decided to make people forget about him by "disappearing" from the site.
because he disliked having that sort of image associated with his username.
 
2:09 PM
@Mana Oh. I never really got that impression about him. Too bad, he was a nice guy

@DaveMcClelland yeah.
 
I have no idea who he is
....or what he is
 
@tiddy he's a dude who was my friend on this site while he was still participating
He ran for mod elections twice and came close to winning both times
 
@Mana bad things seem to happen to people who are your friends. I am not going to be your friend anymore, just in case.
 
he's also a mermaid
with stunning blond hair
 
2:12 PM
Merman
 
Yup, he's responsible for the terrible mod meme
And had, what, 14k rep?
Quite high at that time, and still now
 
@YiJiang I was not under the impression he was actively smoking.
 
@agent86 I quite enjoyed it. But you'd want to be in it for the puzzle solving and exploration. The combat is meh
 
@mana what does it mean to inactively smoke?
 
@Mana You know the Dutch. Unless otherwise stated, they all smoke
 
2:13 PM
@Sterno hmm, I think I could get behind this.
wishliste'd
 
@tiddy Mana bade a bad joke about yi saying he was "quite high at the time"
 
@DaveMcClelland I knows I was just jabbin him on word choice
 
Hey, not bad, 4 minutes. Good job, mods.
 
@DaveMcClelland screw you man, that was one of my better ones
 
@Mana It was a pretty bad joke...
 
2:17 PM
you all suck
I thought it was *high*larious
 
Thank you.
 
@mana It's that kind of talk that made Arda leave
 
I have to agree.
 
@ThomasMcDonald oh god
 
@Mana It was one of your better bad jokes, I'll give you that
@tiddy Mana's bad jokes are making me want to leave, too

Oh, good. That travesty of an answer got removed.
 
Blah Dawnguard is reportedly 'meh"
I wouldn't know since microsoft decided to be an annoying little prick and buy 360 exclusivity for a month
 
@tiddy They wouldn't have spend the money if they didn't think the exclusivity was worth more than they paid for it.
For anyone with multiple systems, it might push them over the edge to pick it up for 360.
 
FAE
@YiJiang The amusing part about this is is that the percentage of people who try pot in the US is so much higher than here
 
I can't imagine any skyrim PC owner to buckle and buy a 360 version instead of waiting
 
Canada has an unofficial "Pot day". Not sure how it works in other cities, but here they all go to the big government office, and light up on the front lawn.
 
user15026
2:25 PM
@fbueckert Here we try to pretend that it doesn't happen
 
@fbueckert In the US the cops pepper spray us in the eyes and jail us for 5 years
 
@tiddy This is basically daring the cops to arrest someone; there's power in numbers.
Personally, I think it's a really stupid thing to do. Advertising the fact that you're smoking an illegal substance is just asking the cops to arrest you at a later date.
 
user15026
@fbueckert If that is the only time you smoke it in public, there is a large safety in numbers deal, and then just don't do anything to get caught again.
 
Power in numbers? What are they going to do? Attack the cop for doing his job?
 
user15026
@tiddy no, but if there are a lot of people, they will generally just ignore them and not deal with the hassle of rounding them all up for a mass arrest deal
 
2:29 PM
You think they won't be there first?
In large numbers?
 
@AshleyNunn It'd be amusing if they created a huge net to arrest them all at once.
 
I dunno Canada, but that seems like a foolish thing in the US
 
@tiddy yeah, I would not want the 360 version of skyrim. I'd upgrade my PC before going through a bethesda game on my console again.
 
I thought you did have a PC version
 
user15026
@fbueckert Like in a crazy cartoon.
 
2:30 PM
If I was the the Chief Canuck, I'd probably arrest hard and fast and early
Word would spread, "Oh, they're arresting people" and the turnout would die
Then i'd sell ice cream and burgers
 
@tiddy Knowing my city, the first one arrested would be a Native American, who would promptly begin screaming racism.
 
haha well there's that
 
I swear, they use it as a "get out of taking responsibility for any of my actions" card.
Hell, the Grand Chief screams racism if a native is arrested for doing anything. Including murder.
 
This is in Canada? Or the US midwest?

Bart van HeukelomI was playing a BF3 game of Conquest @ Kharg Island where my jet repeatedly got shot out of the sky by a hovering Viper attack helicopter with heatseekers.

Ooo, Spacechem is one of today's contenders on GoG's Battle of the Games. gog.com/en/page/2012_summer_promo
 
The IndieRoyale Summer Bundle includes Serious Sam 2, the Gundemonium series, and The Journey Down: Chapter 1.
 
I'd really want to get it, but it's currently losing out on votes. Hmmm.
 
@YiJiang This game is worth it.
I have yet to finish it, but it's quite fun.
 
2:40 PM
@YiJiang I love and hate this game.
 
@agent86 Too hard?
 
it tickles my engineering brain-parts, but it's just weird and kind of hard to get right.
 
I didn't understand spacechem at all.
 
@GnomeSlicE It's programming-lite.
 
It looks a lot like programming, really
 
2:41 PM
Also, eeee, Inmomentum for 50% off.
 
Oo, that looks good
It does look a little on the short side though
 
@YiJiang yeah, there's kind of a lot of restrictions on what you can do. if you want more than a couple of loops in a single reactor, you're SOL. sync'ing everything's weird too.
 
One thing about Spacechem that stood out for me was the soundtrack
EVAN LE NY is fantastic.
 
@agent86 It is certainly hard. But you feel so smart when you finish a puzzle you're stuck on.
 
@fbueckert I found it mostly frustrating, tbh. rather be regular programming :P I'm kind of curious about notch's new game, though.
 
user15026
2:45 PM
I like the idea of SpaceChem, but I know the puzzles would make me really frustrated because I don't grasp the proper logic.
 
@AshleyNunn They start you off easy; each new world introduces a single new concept.
So by the time you hit the fourth or fifth world, you're dealing with lots of different things.
@agent86 Eh? Notch is doing something similar?
 
03x? Can't quite recall the name
 
user15026
@fbueckert Yeah, but then I have to remember what I learned before and apply the new and old concepts together and try to logic through it all, and I would probably just be like AUGH because I would expect a purple unicorn and get like a green spotted rainbow tomato.
 
user15026
(I know the game does not have unicorns or tomatoes.)
 
0x10^c: 0x10c.com
 
2:47 PM
@fbueckert I wouldn't say similar, but something involving programming a 16-bit CPU as part of a game
 
@agent86 Hmm. I may have to check that out when he releases it, then.
 
> The computer in the game is a fully functioning emulated 16 bit CPU that can be used to control your entire ship, or just to play games on while waiting for a large mining operation to finish.
 
I created a mini-assembly decoder for bonus points in high school. It was...interesting.

@fbueckert Yeah, I get that a lot.
 
@fbueckert well, I've written a fair bit of 8-bit assembly, so this seems to be something that is up my alley, although with the following minecraft has I have no idea if I'd be anything even approaching "average" in the community :P

Siri ^
 
I can't believe that Spacechem is actually losing. You guys will vote for it, right? Guys? Pretty please?
 
Losing what
 
@tiddy gog.com has been doing sales based on who votes for what game
the game that wins is more on sale the next day
 
Winner gets 60% off, loser 40%.
 
@YiJiang I would, but I'm not creating an account solely to vote on a game.
 
Which isn't a bad deal, but, you know...
$2!
That's like... lunch!
Okay, so because of inflation $2 lunches are kind of hard to find now
But still, $2!
 
Yeah that registration hurdle is too much for tiddy

Eh, they do have a few free games: gog.com/en/catalogue/?price=free
Not that you can't find those anywhere else
They did give out Empire Earth and Fallout previously, so there's that

Q: Why are these assassins everywhere I go?

Spider-Man's WifeOk, every town I go to and just venture out in to the 'wilderness' I get ambushed by Hired thugs, or assassins. I kill them every time but it is really annoying, and lydia is still with me and I've commited a few minor crimes but always paid my bounty. What's HAPPENING?!

 
@YiJiang If lunch only costs you $2, that's crazy cheap.
 
@fbueckert USD2, yes. It's very cheap, but for SGD2.60 I can get a fairly good meal here
 
Cameron Diaz is a pottymouth.
Real talk, my ears are bleeding.
 
@YiJiang Weren't you saying that the Singapore dollar equates to about 33% less than USD?
Even adding for conversion rates, that's still crazy cheap.
 
3:12 PM
Exchange rate is 1 USD = 1.30 SGD
GoG uses USD, so that's what I'm using here
 
I count myself lucky if lunch is under $8 here.
 
Chai tao kway is a common dish or dim sum of Teochew cuisine in Chaoshan (China), Singapore and Malaysia, consisting of stir-fried cubes of radish cake. Names It is also known as "fried carrot cake" or simply "carrot cake" in Southeast Asian countries, as the word for daikon (POJ: chhài-thâu), one of its main ingredients, can also refer to a carrot (POJ: âng-chhài-thâu, literally "red radish"). There is no connection between this dish and the sweet Western carrot cake eaten as a dessert. This misnomer gave the title to a popular guidebook on Singapore's street food, There's No Carrot in...
 
yeah, you can't get anything for $2 here unless you want 2 things off of a dollar menu, and that's pretty low-quality food
 
The local hawker sells this for SGD2.50. I caught one selling his last plate yesterday for lunch, and he gave me all the leftovers, which is huge.
 
I mean, there's probably stuff you could go to a grocery store and get for $2/meal that's a bit better, but you'd probably have to buy more than one meal's worth
 
3:15 PM
@agent86 And then expend the effort to turn it into a meal.
I have a pretty good rapport with most of the food sellers around my workplace.
The hot dog stand guy always gives me a good deal.
 
@fbueckert yeah, this too. If you try to eat anywhere where the food comes ready to eat for $2 and you're gonna have a bad time.
 
@agent86 My cheesy cheddarburger and small frosty would like a chat with you
 
user15026
@Fluttershy That is the best thing I have ever seen
 
3:20 PM
@agent86 I'd actually be leery of any place selling me food for $2. I'd be going "What's the catch?"
 
@AshleyNunn I feel like a glass table was the wrong choice for that, though...
 
@Fluttershy I'm surprised there's not an outtake where he smashes headfirst through the glass table
 
You'd probably want to account for the PPP, but the only catch for food from hawker centers is that the environment isn't as comfortable or as clean as you'd find in a restaurant
 
My trip to Japan resulted in some very good food for quite cheap. Their version of "fast food" was actually quite tasty.
 
KFC in China actually serves rice.
Those meals were pretty good.
 
3:25 PM
well, on the other hand, there's a lot of mexican restaurants around where you can get inexpensive but good food. there's a place down the street from my house where you can get a pretty kickass $2 breakfast taco.
trying to eat there for lunch or dinner's probably going to be $6+ a plate, but breakfast tacos are pretty ubiquitous, filling, and cheap
 
For 15 RMB, which Google says is now USD2.30 you get rice with deep fried chicken served with bacon mushroom sauce and crunchy pickled vegetables, from KFC in China
Of course you'd still want to account for PPP there
 
@YiJiang What's PPP?
 
hah. $2 at a KFC in the US will probably get you a piece of chicken.
 
Purchasing power parity. The economic theory is that the same dollar in your pocket now should be able to buy the same goods anywhere in the world after accounting for exchange rates
As you've noticed this isn't true. So what economists do is compare the price of a basket of goods in every country
 
5$ will get you a footlong
 
3:30 PM
@QAdp Do you think it's a given that we'll do something with source film maker when it comes out?
 
To determine the 'true' value of the dollar you have in your hand right now
 
Though depending where you ask for it you might get something COMPLETELY different than what you were expecting
 
@tiddy Now I want subway...
 
What's subway
 
The Big Mac index is a crude version of this, using a McDonald's Big Mac Burger as the basket of goods: economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2012/06/…
 
3:32 PM
@YiJiang This...actually sounds pretty good.
 
@tiddy The place with the $5 footlongs... <.<
 
@fbueckert It is rather tasty. They've got pretty good rice too.
 
@Fluttershy @tiddy lives in the US; Subway should be pretty common there.
So this sounds like one of those "pinky to the corner of the mouth" kind of things.
 
USD5 for a footlong? What's the filling?
 
Yeah I was making a pinky sexual reference
Annnyway: @YiJiang the filling is pretty much whatever you want
 
3:37 PM
@RonanForman depends on the when
 
Gosh, that's actually cheaper than the subway here
 
also from what I've seen in the tutorial the "multiplayer" component of the SFM isn't really there, you basically take turns in being each character in the movie
 
Checking with W|A it seems like the exchange rate is now 1 USD to 1.26 SGD

@tiddy I was actually referencing Austin Powers, but whatever works.
 
3:42 PM
@YiJiang there's a list of sandwich types you can choose from. processed, sliced meats + cheese + veggies/sauces
not everything on the menu is $5 for 12"
 
@fbueckert now you're referencing Whatever Works?
 
unless they're doing a sale.
 
@MattЭллен Yup. It's the catch-all movie/game/book/meme that everybody knows about.
 
@agent86 Probably, but even then it's still rather cheap
 
@YiJiang yeah, it's certainly a deal if you're in the mood for a sandwich. not my favorite place to eat, but I could do it once a month or so.
 
3:47 PM
Pretty sure Subway is the largest fast food chain in the world

Speaking of...@James, tried any of those Atelier games I mentioned? You've had a week! :P
I really want a PS3 Monster Hunter game released in NA. I can kiss all my free time goodbye.
 
hmm, considering this graphics card as an upgrade to my 8800 GT 1gb: newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150561
@fbueckert yeah, this is my attitude towards it as well. Still playing, but I got 2 chars to inferno and there's more compelling things to do than grind gear at this point.
 
4:06 PM
@agent86 I'm rolling a 7870/AMD from a couple 8800gt's in SLI, really enjoy it
 
@agent86 I still want to clear Inferno, but I'm no longer as driven as I was pre-1.0.3. The enrage timers don't help.
 
@fbueckert it would take a lot of devotion for me to clear inferno, and I don't has it.

Q: Should old questions be auto-locked for new users?

TrewTzuI know this has most likely been covered before but if not: Has the community considered implementing a system to "lock" old questions that already have answers to new users? Honestly, I don't know why this is a issue but still every day the front page has at least a few questions that have bee...

 
@tiddy they've got a 7870 on sale as well, but that's out of my price range. I'll go 120-130 on a graphics card for a significant deal, but generally no higher than that.
 
@agent86 Mine let go on Father's Day. Got a replacement the next day.
 
4:11 PM
Yeah I'm a PC gamer foremost. I gots to spend
I also don't have any rings or little dream killers crawling around
;)
 
@tiddy Careful. Rubbing it in tends to make Murphy's Law take note. :P
 
Yeah the thought horrifies me
 
@tiddy For now, young padawan. There will come a time when it will be much more important.
 
Im 28
Looks like avg is 32
So we'll see
 
@tiddy People mature at different rates.
Me, I'm ready to settle down, but I have yet to find anyone who can keep up with me.
So, I'm still looking.
I'm also 28, by the way.
 
4:22 PM
yeah, biology will bite you right in the ass.
getting married didn't do much to impact my lifestyle, but having kids most certainly did.
then again, the wife's a bit of a gamer herself when she has a mind to
 
4:33 PM
you can try to resist it, and maybe your biology is just wired differently, but chances are someday you're going to think having a family's a pretty good idea.

@agent86 each kid adds 5years to your age
 
@Jin so I'm in my mid-to-late 40's
I certainly feel like it some days.
 
user15026
I am 24 and i am like i want to settle but also have adventures if that makes sense
 
I come from a large family. I believe I'm the sole cause of my father's premature grey hairs.

Augh mobile chat i loathe you
 
Jin
@AshleyNunn I tried the single life. so much pain, and not enough profit.
 
@fbueckert They're missing solution 6: Remove it all together.
 
Insatiable curiosity and enough confidence at age 5 to wander off on my own.
@Wipqozn Remove one of the core affixes that people look for!? That's madness!
And they'd get even MORE screaming.
 
user15026
@Jin my goal is to find someone who is like lets have adventures together!
 
@Wipqozn they're missing solution 7: STOP TRYING TO FIX SOMETHING A TINY PORTION OF THE PLAYERBASE IS "EXPLOITING" BY BREAKING THE GAME FOR FREAKING EVERYBODY
 
4:48 PM
@agent86 That too
 
@fbueckert I was thinking option 2 would be best, but I'm actually leaning towards option 4 now.
 
@bwarner I would prefer Option 4 myself; getting additional benefits without the additional danger irks me.
 
Although it would be nice if it worked like skill cooldowns, so that you could switch in town and have it take effect immediately
 
You want higher MF? Fine! Swap your gear. Oh? You want it right now? Sorry, too bad!
 
I've never felt compelled to gear swap, but it would be nice to get a reward for not doing so, which is what it sounds like they're aiming for.
 
4:51 PM
@bwarner I've also never done it; sorta hard to switch gear whilst beating on enemies in melee range.
 
@agent86 Option 9: Leave us alone so we can work on constructive changes like a better AH UI.
I vote for that one.
 
It's another advantage ranged have over melee.
 
@OrigamiRobot What happened to option 8?
 
@Wipqozn I left room for anyone else with an inferior option.
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm more interested in seeing what they do with the legendary buffs, and the skill balancing
 
4:52 PM
Or I can't count.
@bwarner That too, but their UI is seriously terrible and I don't know how they do it.
 
In general, I think their prioritization of which issues to tackle first has been pretty good.
 
@OrigamiRobot you were stuck in some other base, as robots are wont to do.
 
@OrigamiRobot What changes do you want?
 
Seriously, how hard is it to put "1" as the default value on commodities so I don't have to type it in every single time.
 
@Mana If it makes you feel better I thought it was a pretty good joke. I also liked that one.
@OrigamiRobot You're such a nice robot.
 
4:55 PM
@bwarner More preffered attributes. Sort by current bid and time left, etc
 
jesus, the Binding of Isaac wikia is rather terrible
 
@OrigamiRobot This. They do it for some commodities, but not for others.
 
it makes me want to work on it... except that's the business model! Right?
 
@agent86 Wow I don't even wanna think about what base that is.
 
@QAdp stupid wiki-licensed user created content!
Y U NO BETTAR?
 
4:57 PM
It really makes me want to start writing some code in the project I've been toying around with in my mind
 
@OrigamiRobot They've never come out and said it, but I assume sort by time left was intentionally left out to discourage lots of sniping.
 
like - tag excerpts, but for items/enemies/monsters in games
on-popup mini wikis if you will.
 
@bwarner Not that it stops bid sniping anyways.
 
@fbueckert I didn't say stop, but you have to admit there would be a hell of a lot more of it if you could easily sort by time left.
 
@bwarner Yeah; bots buying up items at <1m left.
 
4:58 PM
@bwarner I can deal with that, but current price gives you a far better idea of an item's value... Also please show the number of bids.
 
I want a button that only displays items that have a buyout price.
 
like, you hover "Bucket of lard" and the small black box appears: "+½ heart +3 container hearts -1 speed" and maybe (maybe) the screenshot of the item
 
As it is, you have to pick your important attributes carefully, and then look for ones that are ending soon.
@fbueckert Doesn't putting a max buyout do that?
 
Having to enter a buyout value to remove the non-buyout items is non-intuitive.
Checkbox > numerical value
 
And I appreciate being able to compare items that are on the ground, but AH comparison is by far what is most needed.
 
4:59 PM
@OrigamiRobot True, that would be huge, and it sounds like they're working on that
