@badp That sounds like it had some history behind it.

Thanks for alerting!

Q: How long does it take for my skill group to expire?

meme scientistI often play CS:GO after long hiatus's due to work and school, and most of the time, when I come back, my ranking has become "unranked", and displays the message "You need to win 1 more game to show your ranking". My question is how long it takes for these skill groups to expire? I used to be a ...

 
OH MAN. SHAKE SHACK IS OPENING A NEW LOCATION 5 BLOCKS FROM ME.

@Unionhawk Trade a'cepted.
 
Hi folks.
I think I made a mistake when requesting for a tag, I got the game name wrong. Can anyone help me?
 
@Fluttershy I don't like Captain Laserbeam, but I love the Adventurekateers.
 
@Mindwin What question?
Or what tag, or whatever
 
12:21 AM
The game name is actually "School Idol Festival". Love Live is the anime series that fathered the game.
 
Doom running on a printer
 
user15026
@Mindwin Alright, I can edit that
 
user15026
There, fixed :)
 
Love Live! (ラブライブ!, Rabu Raibu!) School Idol Project is a Japanese multimedia project co-developed by ASCII Media Works' Dengeki G's Magazine, music label Lantis, and animation studio Sunrise. The project revolves around a group of fictional school girls who become idols in order to save their school from shutting down. It launched in the August 2010 issue of Dengeki G's Magazine, and went on to produce music CDs, anime music videos, two manga adaptations, and video games. A 13-episode anime television series produced by Sunrise and directed by Takahiko Kyōgoku aired in Japan between January and...
Thanks.
Oh, I did not know they expanded wikipedia links.
sorry for the spam
 
Nah, that’s not spam, it’s a feature. :)
 
user15026
12:23 AM
@Mindwin No problem, it's supposed to do that. :)
 
@AshleyNunn I think you forgot the tag wiki
 
user15026
@Brant I totally did.
 
user15026
Oh, crap, I lost the wiki info in there.
 
user15026
I am a loser.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I like Jumbo too

Q: Why would I ever want my Sims to nap?

Mazura Napping doesn't replenish energy as well as sleeping in a bed. --The Sims Wiki Why would I ever want my Sims to nap instead of sleep? Is this for realism or does it have a tactical use?

 
@Lazers All 4 Sims?
 
who is playing the sims for "tactics"???
 
Kudos to Wipqozn for the tip to humble free games.
 
@Ktash I suppose you can min-max Sims ...
 
you can min-max anything.
How the hell the site gets to THIS conclusion? "The question you're asking appears subjective and is likely to be closed" - by the title only?
 
12:31 AM
@Mindwin It's really basic and doesn't work well on Arqade. It looks for things like the word "you".
 
I think it scans for keywords like “best” “should” etc
 
So if you ask "How do you..." it'll be flagged with that. Just ignore it.
 
Unless the question actually is highly subjective, of course, blah blah
 
@Mindwin Like the other said, it's a blind word search. Just ignore it if you don't see anything wrong with your title.
Should probably poke at a dev to update the heuristics here
 
Oh, no. I am asking some min-maxing number crunching question there. After posting, will link here.
pure math, no subjectivity.

Q: What algorithm does StackOverflow use to determine if a question may be subjective?

Alex. S.I was asking a question in serverfault.com and this message warned me (correctly!): The question you're asking appears subjective and is likely to be closed So, I'm curious if there any classifier or machine learning technique behind, or if it is just some heuristics on keywords. Do you ...

 
@Mindwin Don't need to link here. There's a bot that'll do that automatically
 
FAE
this made me giggle
 
@murgatroid99 One-upd!
 
FAE
@murgatroid99 Well I was busy playing FFXIV 3 hours ago :P
 
12:41 AM
@FAE It's at the top of the non-pinned star list
 
FAE
That was also around when everyone was talking about coding, so I just tabbed away for a while.
 
Ahahaha!
 
@Frank Now why would you undelete a self-deleted question?

Q: How to get even match with bots?

ScottOWhen I make a lobby to practice against bots, I've noticed that hard bots are harder than unfair bots. Specifically, if I fill all 9 empty slots with hard bots, it seems like no matter how well I play, it's very difficult to win. Yet, when I choose to fill the slots with unfair bots, I win almost...

Q: Is it possible to create a secret room?

agardner791Can I create a room in Minecraft that can only be accessed by specific players? For instance, if it were to put a button on the outside of the room could I make it so it only allowed certain players inside it and if so, how would this be done?

 
12:46 AM
Especially when it's just to dupe another question to it. That's doubly pointless.
 
He wanted to shed the "This question was posted about a demo and the actual game isn't out so it's off topic" status
 
@FEichinger I agree with Frank, though, that we shouldn't just allow people to wipe out downvotes and close votes by deleting and re-asking a question
 
@OrigamiRobot There's something about the borderline racist accents that is hilarious to me.
 
@Unionhawk If the same still holds for the new question, making a dupe is nonsensical - dupes don't get deleted like normal closures. So, close the new question for the same reason. If the reason doesn't hold anymore, we're going a bit against the spirit of the rule. No reason to undelete and then dupe to it for that either way.
@murgatroid99 Meh. If the new question needs the downvotes just as well, downvote it again. If the new question is better, the user is learning. No need to punish that.
 
@FEichinger It's the same question
 
user15026
12:51 AM
Well, is the game out? Is it any more on topic than it was before?
 
So if the new question is just as bad, it’ll end up getting deleted too, won’t it?
 
@AshleyNunn Smash 4 3DS is released as of 2 days ago (JP)
 
Reopening a question just so a user can keep their downvotes strikes me as punitive
Bad question got downvotes, encourages user to delete it, the system worked
 
@Brant This.
 
user15026
@Brant Pretty much, things worked as intended.
 
12:54 AM
We don't need to go out of our way just to punish a user.
 
The question is clear now, but I still don't think it's answerable in any meaningful way
I'd opt to close it as Too Broad if I reopen it
 
user15026
@FEichinger This.
 
@PrivatePansy I'd go with POB (what's "average" in this respect?), but yes.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice oh, that reminds me, I should use my key for it.
 
1:00 AM
It's a neat idea, but it gets old pretty quick.
But I mean hey, it's free.
I had fun with it when I got it a while ago.
 
The latest episode of DW is really good
 
@GnomeSlice I think I technically already have a free copy. I backed NS2 and Overgrowth like 5 years ago. Overgrowth is still in development :P
 
Overgrowth will never be done
 
Truth.
 
@RedRiderX We'll have to disagree on that.
 
@FEichinger It definitely continues down the path DW has been going this series.
I liked that they were able to genuinely surprise me with some of those twists
The ending was maybe a tad weak though
 
The ending was utterly terrible.
It shows that, yet again, Moffat can't stop himself from messing with the very essence of the Doctor's timeline.
 
lol 'timeline'
 
@FEichinger Well it did scale back from initial "literally everything has changed" thing that the Listen monster would imply.
Like the Silence.
 
1:08 AM
@RedRiderX Would a passive, invisible, omnipresent being (/group) really change that much?
 
@GnomeSlice I really don't get the loltimetravel argument. Doctor Who actually has a pretty consistent continuity for most of its run. There were very few retcons that were as groundbreaking as the stuff Moffat managed to do in just a few years.
 
@murgatroid99 Depends if they are all passive
 
@PrivatePansy What's this?
 
@RedRiderX I think if they weren't someone would have noticed earlier
Since they're everywhere, all the time
 
@murgatroid99 They mentioned in the episode that they would probably only show up to people who wouldn't be believed.
 
1:09 AM
@RedRiderX In all honesty, I would have much preferred that over the twist it turned out to be.
 
My enjoyment of Doctor Who has gone from watching it to watching people complain about it.
 
Hah
 
@GnomeSlice The next episode of Gravity Falls!
Also, Sock Opera was crazy awesome
 
@PrivatePansy Disney?
 
@murgatroid99 We have lots of Missing Persons with no explanation, so that would actually tie in quite nicely with that.
 
1:10 AM
@FEichinger I like that it was more about the Doctor's need to find it, but I'm liking the whole direction with the Doctor this series.
 
And the whole apocalypse thing, too. I mean, a lot of the potential explanations for the Listen monster made sense.
 
@GnomeSlice Yes, Disney
 
What's with the pixel gif?
 
@RedRiderX Yeah, definitely. The Doctor's motivation and the realization he gets with the result, sure, that's nice. But it was so badly written, because it yet again has to mess with the Doctor's past.
And yet again it's a companion who's involved that deeply.
 
user15026
@PrivatePansy I really need to watch that, I don't think I've seen any of this season
 
1:13 AM
If it was just another timelord from pre-war times, I wouldn't have as much a problem with it. Why does Moffat always have to use companions? Amy, Rory, River, Rory again, Amy again, Amy again, Rory again, Clara, Clara again, Clara yet another time.
 
@FEichinger Umm, well, Clara is the definition of a companion involved too deeply in the timeline.
 
@RedRiderX Yes, because this has gotten worse and worse with Moffat. Every time, it gets worse.
 
How would one even start catching up on Doctor Who even if they wanted to? Aren't there like 30 seasons?
 
@StrixVaria Well there is 50 years of it if you really want to catch up
 
I'm really glad Clara leaves with the Christmas Special, even though I really like Coleman's performance. Clara is just an excuse for Moffat to write badly.
 
1:15 AM
@RedRiderX That's what I mean. It's way too much to consider watching all of it.
 
@StrixVaria You can start with the reboot and be fine.
 
@StrixVaria Start with the beginning one of the new doctors, it's pretty much a clean slate when Doctors change
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh there's a reboot at some point?
 
user15026
@FEichinger Pretty much this.
 
@StrixVaria NuWho started in the 2000s
 
1:16 AM
@StrixVaria Well, revival is a better word.
 
After a long hiatus.
 
DYEING MY HAIR OUT DA BOX I DO WHAT I WANTTTTTTTTT
AND DUCK FACE
Let's see how red it is when it's done
 
user15026
Oooooh fun :)
 
@AshleyNunn The new season is great! Four solid, brilliant episodes.
 
user15026
@PrivatePansy Yay, this is good to nkow
 
1:23 AM
Evening, Bridge!
 
user15026
good evening!
 
@OrigamiRobot just told me I look like Alan Tudyk. :3 I am okay with this.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy I could see that.
 
Steam keys for Great Permutator are now available on IndieGameStand
if anybody bought it there
 
@AshleyNunn :D
 
1:26 AM
lol I smell so gross right now
 
user15026
@spugsley Yeah, that happens
 
it's making me so entertained hahahaha
like I have to sit here next to @IanPugsley and I know he's probably like ughhhhhhhh right now
where is @Ktash for my weird hair dying adventures? :p
I feel like he'd be interested in this
 
@spugsley You'd probably be right
 
@Ktash :p
 
So much change lately going on

Q: Does Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen come with all of the original DLC?

Memor-XI was looking at the list of DLC for Dragons Dogma here and was comparing it to the DLC for Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen but there is a huge difference in what's available. To my understanding Dark Arisen is just Dragons Dogma with another story line added in which can be played afterwords. So I a...

 
I don't even know how they managed to code this
 
I finished my question (after making my 5-old do his homework), but now I am thinking its better to post it to Math... what should I do? It is a question about gaming, but also is a math exercise (although maybe a bit basic for a question on Math.SE)
 
Just post it already. If it's about gaming, we'll answer it - math, or no math
 
Unless it's about a game nobody else plays =[

yesterday, by LessPop_MoreFizz
1) Do you remember, and/or are you a fan of Carissa's Wierd?
I asked you this after you wandered off the other night
 
@GnomeSlice Well, they are giving out free premium currency to everyone because they hit the 500,000 players milestone, so Its hardly nobody.

Q: In School Idol Festival, what is the maximum event points you can get without expending Loveca (Love Stones), disregarding leveling?

MindwinSo, I was trying to bend my mind over some numbers, trying to see how many event points you can get in the game without expending cash (Love Stones / Loveca) to replenish LP. Since there are SO many variables, I have to limit them: The player is of average skill. He can clear Hard Hits or the ...

 
2:02 AM
@AshleyNunn I personally see less system working as intended and a user who should know better working around it. But that's just me.
 
user15026
@Frank That's fine.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm not sure I know who/what that is
 
@spugsley Okay then, link the first then:
(They were a seminal early 00's Pac-NW Emo-Indie band who tore a pretty massive hole in my heart once upon a time and also seem really up your alley. Sadly, they broke up a decade ago.)
 
Okay so the hair might look more purple than red but I don't think I care bahahaha
 
The reason for that question was to ask if you'd heard singer Jen Ghetto's new stuff under the name of S, which I'm going to guess is a no, but I will link that in a minute to fix, because if I think Carissa's Wierd seems up your alley, I know S is up your alley.
 
2:06 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz listening now :3
 
user15026
@spugsley ooh now I am intrigued
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz yes, I like this
 
@spugsley Nice
 
@AshleyNunn yes I will get a picture as soon as google stops acting like a buttface
 
ehem
 
2:10 AM
have one more Carissa's Wierd song
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hey, I know that place
 
@Ktash They are from Seattle.
I actually saw them live in Seattle! At Neumos. It was pretty fucking intense.
 
Yeah, that genre is kind of up the Seattle wheelhouse
 
@Ktash It wasn't when they started.
They're a big part of the reason Seattle pivoted from grunge stuff to this stuff.
 
Now we're all white rappers and stuff

Q: When does the "Edit too Minor" option appear?

BenI got a heap of review notices for proposed edits, merely to find that a majority were simply adding "in [this game]" to the end of the title. I chose to reject them for being too minor, but the option wasn't there? When does this option appear?

 
@Ktash fucking Macklemore
Sub Pop is still doing their thing though, as is K Records.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz You're telling me...
 
I'd never count that region out.
 
Ah, nah, we've got a lot of music going on around here
just what gets big varies a lot
but a lot of places have lots of different music :)
And I do actually like same love, to his credit
even if the rest of his music annoys me

Q: Are all Omega stages the same length?

meme scientistThey are supposed to be exactly like Final Destination, where the stage is perfectly flat and fair for all fighters. But for some reason I can't put my hand on, it seems some stages are slightly smaller than others. Are my eyes tricking me? I thought all Omega stages were the same size, so mayb...

2:20 AM
@Ktash I like the Mary Lambert bits best (and really her "She Keeps Me Warm" is better as a thing, but that's just me)
 
Ben
Is there any way to specifically message a person and just tell them to please stop?
 
@AshleyNunn Never actually heard the original song, actually. Fixing that now though
 
user15026
@Ben Short of leaving a comment on a specific Q/A, no, not really
 
Ben
There has been a rash of edits by one person that have just been adding tags to question titles.
Damn. I'm pretty sure they're still going :/
 
user15026
You mean adding titles to questions? That's not inherently bad - let me try to find the appropriate metas.
 
Ben
2:23 AM
No, it's more like "How do I do this [in Minecraft]"
 
user15026
@Ben Here's a good answer on the subject.
 
@Ben We're sorta unclear exactly whether this is or isn't a good thing. Personally, I think edits that do nothing but that aren't any good.
 
@AshleyNunn Really? I was called 'incompotent' for approving one of those. :P
 
@Ben How do I do this?, if "this" is something generic, is a pretty bad question title. However, as with all edits, they should fix everything in the post.
 
@Ben If someone has edited a question, you can respond to them in a comment
 
user15026
2:25 AM
@TrentHawkins Don't mistake one opinion for the opinion of the masses.
 
@AshleyNunn Our higher upvoted answer says that doing only that for an edit is not a good edit.

A: Should we include the game title in questions?

StrixVariaTitles do not have to contain the name of the game, and you shouldn't intentionally edit a question just to add the game name to the title. The game name is required, however, to be in the tags. This is the canonical way to identify what game a question is about. Also, for SEO reasons, the first...

 
user15026
@Frank I never said if it was good or bad in any case, and I was given little info. I just found an appropriate response.
 
user15026
Do with it what you will.
 
@AshleyNunn I like it a lot (and the video is very cute), but I think I want the pace sped up like half a measure lol. That's just me (and will probably change later) :)
 
user15026
@Ktash Isn't the video great?
 
2:27 AM
@AshleyNunn It is. It's very cute
 
user15026
It started out as spoken word, so that might be part of it
 
The song did?
That makes sense for it
 
Ben
OK, for something more specific, @JasonBerkan, One of the suggested edits was "How do I build a Door [in Minecraft]"
 
user15026
Yeah, she started as a poet. (I have her poetry chapbook on my bookshelf :) )
 
Ben
"This" was just a placeholder
 
2:28 AM
@AshleyNunn I was somewhat joking, I'm well aware that the person who said that is an idiot. (he is now the only person on my ignore list).
 
user15026
@Ben Can you link me to the edit?
 
user15026
@TrentHawkins Fair enough :)
 
Ben
I don't know, I have rejected most of them so I cdon't believe I can see them anyomre
 
user15026
Alright, let me poke about (I am working, so it might take me a bit)
 
It's this user. Something like 20 suggestions in the last half hour
 
Ben
2:29 AM
That's the one
 
@Ben Fairly easy to see those, actually. Check your history tab when reviewing suggested edits.
 
@AshleyNunn Interesting. Did not know this
 
user15026
@murgatroid99 oooh, thanks, saves me some work :)
 
That may have a rep requirement attached to it, though. Not 100% on that.
 
user15026
@Ktash She has some amazing poetry.
 
user15026
2:30 AM
(I have a fondness for spoken word.)
 
Good to know
 
@Ben I'd change that title, if I was in changing anything else in the question. But if there's nothing else to change, the title is fine.
As an example, the edit on this: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/66418/…
 
Ben
@AshleyNunn I believe this was one gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/184038/…
 
I don't have a problem adding the game title, but nothing else needs to be touched, so why bother?
 
I'd say make use of the "Too Minor" rejection reason, but, well...
 
user15026
2:31 AM
There is no need for a lot of these, it seems like.
 
Ben
I asked a meta question about that @TrentHawkins, they said use "invalid edit"
 
@Ben or finish editing what needs to be edited
 
@Ben Our current stance is exactly that.
 
@Frank That's the edit I was referring to. I actually like "in Diablo" in that title, but there is absolutely no reason to edit that question at this time, so there's no need to change the title.
 
2:32 AM
I did see some edits in there I thought were good, and I approved those.
 
user15026
In a lot of cases, though, we don't need people to just add titles to questions, that's why we have the tagging system
 
@JasonBerkan Okay, your stance from your first reply was unclear.
I wasn't sure what you were trying to say.
 
user15026
Alright, the edit flood should stop now, I think.
 
I cannot stop listening to this S song it is so good
I am going to explode waiting a week for this album
 
@Frank Yeah it was.
 
Ben
2:35 AM
In some cases they were ok so I approved them, but for the Goat Simulator one, I didn't want to lose that title.... gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/162789/how-do-i-lick-a-plane
 
If video games have taught me one thing, it has been how to wait a really long time
 
Ben
@AshleyNunn whew. Ty.
 
Though I also take timing into account - I'd be more likely to edit Ian's question and change just the title if it as asked right now, as opposed to two years ago.
 
@Ben your picture is from facebook?
 
@Ben I distinctly recall that suggested edit being less substantial. I could be wrong, though.
 
2:37 AM
(not creepy, my tracking thing is blocking, that's why I'm curious if that's what the hit is from Facebook)
 
Ben
@Ktash 'Tis...
ah fair enough
 
Alright, makes sense then. You don't have an avatar anymore, and I noticed an extra tracker block hit. So just wanted to make sure that was the right connection
I have gravatar whitelisted on SE, but I don't think I'm ever going to whitelist Facebook anywhere... So you are going to remain faceless for now :)
SE should specify width/height of the image in CSS though. It looks just messy :/
 
You know, I'm totally going to make that into a user script
And it's going to flash that fullscreen before it puts it as your profile picture, just to scare the crap out of people
... it'll be my most popular script yet

Well. I can honestly say that's a first.

@spugsley It's totes red. Super cute.
 
@AshleyNunn yay! And really easy. And much cheaper than 100 dollars!
 
2:50 AM
I worked on my model a bit more today. Started the arms.
 
@spugsley Your hair?
 
user15026
@spugsley Yes :)
 
Figured out something important: All the fingers are individual, and have three parts.
 
and after I washed it with the little shampoo thing they gave me to prevent staining, it smelled REALLY good
so now I'm not stinky :D
 
@Frank Whoa there...take it easy!
 
Ben
2:51 AM
@Ktash you'll need to send that to me...
 
@spugsley :o
 
So I can literally make him give someone the finger.
3
 
@Frank bahahahaaha sounds like my kinda model
@Ktash :3
 
Compared to Master Grade, where the third, fourth, and fifth fingers are all together as a single unit.
 
@Frank Or have him drink tea and extend pinkie.
 
2:52 AM
@spugsley Definitely red, but the color balance in that image is off. I don't think the wall behind you is yellow, right?
 
@spugsley This one is gonna be stupid awesome.
 
@spugsley Why you gotta be so awesome and pretty, and yet married and on the other side of the country...
 
I have lots of paint colors planned.
 
@PrivatePansy actually in this lighting it totally is :p
@Ktash :3 teeeeeheeee
 
@spugsley meanie :P
 
2:54 AM
@spugsley Hmmm, well the camera isn't calibrated for it. I mean, the wall should have a color that's independent of the lighting, right?
 
@TrentHawkins Just need to find a cup and saucer his size.
 
Anyway color temperature should affect the hue by adding yellow-blue coloration, so I don't think the effect is significant
 
user15026
Finally, System transfer accomplished.

Lost a couple dsiware games somehow but that's okay
 
I found a CD rip of the Bravely Default soundtrack from the Collector's Edition!

Ha, yup. My thoughts too. The Collector's Edition in stores here sold out on preorders
