@GnomeSlice gamedev.stackexchange.com/users/flag-summary/1430 I think? (Replacing URL components as needed.)
 
Remember when he locked it for a week, and couldn't figure out how to stop it?
 
So everybody got room owner so we could talk again?
 
user4704
I get there via the "X helpful flags" link under Impact on my profile page
 
@Frank #just@badpthings
 
10:00 PM
well i tried looking at question in arqade, but they are all questions about processor fine but game glitches, hosting MC server, i can barely find any about actual game fact, etc.
 
And can somebody tell frank and whoever starred that message that i did not pass any judgement on him, jesus you guys
 
questions*
 
user15026
@blakeharrisonakerz They're there, trust me :)
 
@blakeharrisonakerz Find some questions about games you play.
 
i tried
they are all processor problem questions etc.
basically
 
10:01 PM
it's that link in your profile page
 
Can you do it on mobile?
 
yes, first switch to desktop
 
im not on mobile
 
I've linked the page to you.
I'm talking to @GnomeSlice.
 
10:03 PM
example of everything im finding: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/267468/…
basically thats all im finding
 
@blakeharrisonakerz you'll never get rep if you try to force it
 
i cant find gameplay questions though
all i get is that stuff
 
@blakeharrisonakerz Then you're not looking hard enough.
 
user4704
Are you specifically looking for Minecraft questions about gameplay? Or just game questions about gameplay?
 
@blakeharrisonakerz in active questions 2 our of first 3 questions are gameplay related
 
user4704
10:05 PM
Because you can set up favorite/ignored tags to help hide the cruft you don't care about.
 
Hm, clearly i need to work on my interpretation of comments
 
im looking in newest or unawnsered
 
@blakeharrisonakerz first 4 unanswered are gameplay
 
i mean newest or no awnser
ik they are gameplay
but they are about xbox games
 
@GnomeSlice you could start your own nation with all those flags
2
 
10:07 PM
things like witcher
etc.
which i know nothing about
 
I'm not seeing any xbox exclusive games here
nor is witcher an xbox game
 
just a bunch of hardcore games with people asking questions about stuff halfway through the game
its just games i dont play
nothing about agar.io roblox, etc.
 
if you could know the answer without playing the game or looking it up, it wouldn't be asked or it would have an answer long ago
 
just hardcore or obscure games
 
pretty sure agar.io is quite obscure
 
10:08 PM
agar.io is a popular game
its all over youtube
making it not obscure
 
@Chippies I've been here longer than most
 
@blakeharrisonakerz wat? really?
 
I still don't even have that many
 
yes GodEmperorD
 
@blakeharrisonakerz that doesn't make it less obscure than the other games you mentioend
 
10:09 PM
there are tons of .io games on youtube
and people with 500k-3M subs are playing them
 
a very specific type of gamers know about agar.io, whereas even non-gamers know about witcher and fifa and final fantasy, etc
 
thats not obscure
basically, nothing about the games i play is on arqade
thats just a simple way of saying it
 
@blakeharrisonakerz either ask your own questions or play more games

Q: What is the best strategy to survive against mass teaming on Agar.io FFA?

J. MusserMore than once, as I was playing Agar.io (desktop), in the FFA game mode, I starded out well, quickly rose to the top of the leaderboard, and maintained it for a long period of time, only to eventually get teamed against by many of the other leaderboard players. Here's an example: I was playin...

unanswered question about agar.io
 
most games people play on there are console games, and they cost money, and like i said erlier im only 13, so i only get new games at my birthday, christmas, or like every 6 months
and even when the questions are about games i play, they are nearly impossible to awnser
like the one showed above chippies
the one chippies posted*
 
@blakeharrisonakerz just because you can't answer them doesn't mean they are impossible to answer
 
10:12 PM
its just a saying
i live in the uk
 
@blakeharrisonakerz I feel like you're defining, "impossible" as, "too hard for me".
 
the problem I see here is that you want rep for the sake of rep and that's not gonna get you anywhere
 
i am Frank, thats a saying in th uk
the*
 
@JasonBerkan ( aka @aurevoir ) seems to have finally decided to quit the site for good. This is terrible. He's a cool dude.
 
10:13 PM
also i dont play games seriously or harcore, i dont usually keep stratagies in mind
 
@Wipqozn what, why? He was around recently
 
i usually just play games because they are fun
 
@blakeharrisonakerz why are you trying to answer questions then?
 
because i like this site
i want to awnser questions and be a part of this site
 
@blakeharrisonakerz you don't need to answer questions to be on this site
we answer questions because we know the answers
 
10:14 PM
i like awnsering questions etc. is what i mean
 
sometimes we don't know the answer, but the questions is interesting enough that we want to know the answer ourselves and we research and experiment and then share our results as an answer
 
and one of the main reasons i awnser questions on this site is to gainreputation on the site
because its really fun
 
@blakeharrisonakerz that's a wrong way to approach this
 
well.. there arent much other sites that has a reputation system
 
you don't answer questions because you like gaining rep, you gain rep because you like answering questions
rep is just a bonus
 
10:16 PM
i do like awnsering questions
but most of the time they are hard as hell to awnser
 
lots of sites have karma systems
it's just a bit of extra incentive
 
if you don't have the knowledge or motivation to answer a hard question then wait for an easier one
 
the problem is, i want to ask questions. but its too hard to
thats the problem
 
but the easy questions don't stay unanswered for long, because they're easy
 
@Chippies The whole reason why gamification systems like SE work is because imaginary Internet points aren't just a bonus.
Or at least people don't view them as bonuses.
 
10:18 PM
@Yuuki answering questions just for rep gets old quick though
 
i mean, even anime which i watch a TON, i cant awnser 1% of the questions on the anime part of stack exchange
 
rep is nice, but in the big picture it's just a bonus
 
so i want to awnser questions, but i cant
i dont know enough to awnser
 
@blakeharrisonakerz quality over quantity
 
@Chippies It gets old for some people, it doesn't for others. In the long run, it doesn't (and shouldn't) matter why you answer questions.
 
10:19 PM
people that ask questions about anime/movies/etc. generally want to know more than you'd figure from watching it once
 
i mean most of the arqade section is for hardcore gamers
i watch most anime i like 5x+
i have terrible memory though
 
I don't think your definition of "hardcore gamers" is the same as mine...
are hardcore games all the ones that cost money?
 
so i would never figure out a question that says "oh i wanna know that soundtrack from 12:30 at that 1 episode out of the hundreds that there are"

Q: Does using an HDMI splitter introduce input lag?

Kerrick StaleyI have a Smash Bros Melee setup with a low-latency display and a low-latency Wii->HDMI converter. I'd like to split the signal across two displays (so everyone can see the screen during 4-player matches), ideally with zero added latency (but up to 2ms or so of extra latency would be OK). With an...

 
and questions about processor problems
etc.
 
10:21 PM
if you can't answer majority of questions, perhaps asking questions is more up your alley
 
i prefer awnsering questions though
 
I think it's time to go work on my model. Almost done!
 
i never really can think of anything to ask
 
@blakeharrisonakerz but clearly you're having a lot of issues with that
 
and how the hell am i supposed to know how a proessor thats fine dosent work with one game? the questions on stack exchange are damn hard to awnser
 
10:23 PM
@blakeharrisonakerz you seem to be focusing a lot on a single question, which you are probably misunderstanding to begin with
 
but with that one im basically describing all the questions on the arqade section
and all the questions on this site are ones that probably only 16+ aged people can awnser
 
@blakeharrisonakerz tech support questions vary a lot. Most of the time to answer them, it either has to be a common issue or you have to have had experienced it yourself
 
user4704
...I don't think that's true at all.
 
I'm not sure how age plays a role in answering questions
 
10:26 PM
how am i supposed to know all this REALLY complicated stuff when im 13 is the question i would ask this site if it were a real person
 
I need a Canadian to raise their hand
 
@GraceNote ted cruz raises hand
 
@GraceNote does a permanent resident count?
 
@Chippies Yes
 
user4704
@blakeharrisonakerz Lots of 13 year-olds know lots of things about video games.
 
10:27 PM
I'm questioning why , , even exist.
 
@Chippies I'm blaming you for this travesty that is "Maple Bacon Kettle Chips" I am eating right now
 
Or or any tag that deals with a specific subset of a game.
 
@Yuuki For more focused searches?
 
@GraceNote kettle chips? You mean those glass/potato shards that stab you in the mouth?
 
most of the time in the arqade section the questions are tech support are tech support and hardcore games, i rarely come across one i can awnser
 
10:28 PM
@Chippies Yes
 
@GraceNote that sounds so good
 
and even then it might already be awnsered
 
user4704
@blakeharrisonakerz Set your favorite tags to reflect the games you actually play
 
@GodEmperorDune It's a travesty, as evidenced by my use of the word travesty.
 
@GraceNote I'm not sure that's Canadian specific though
 
user4704
10:28 PM
Also just because a question has an answer or two already doesn't mean you can't come along and provide a better one.
 
user4704
Beyond that, I'm not sure what advice to offer you.
 
@Chippies The first word is Maple and that's all I need to shift the blame right onto you.
 
@murgatroid99 Does that mean we should re-tag Overwatch hero-specific questions with or (if that last one even fits within character limits)?
 
@Yuuki yespls
 
but most of the games i play would either get mostly tech support questions and/or be called childish
 
10:29 PM
It would've gone to @Wipqozn but he's not around so I found it fair to find another Canadian to volunteer to take responsibility
 
user4704
There is certainly a disparity in popularity of certain games versus others; Overwatch questions, for example, very popular right now since the game just came out.
 
Which y'did.
 
@GraceNote I'm sort of around.
 
user4704
Many of the games I play don't get many questions either. That's just the way it is.
 
I'm just busy writing something.
 
10:29 PM
@blakeharrisonakerz no one calls games childish here. It's off-topic and not constructive
 
@Yuuki we had a meta on this and said not until there are sufficient questions to merit such things
 
if you play a game with no questions, perhaps you can ask some yourself
 
most of the online games i play would be called childish, but for 1: most of that is just a stigma, and 2: i have no other choice they are the only good games i can find
i barely ever ask questions with those games included in the question, let alone find any to awnser
 
user4704
Well, I don't know what to tell you then.
 
minecraft had the volume to make the subtags useful
 
10:30 PM
there are soooo many free to play games that are good
 
@Yuuki that is a separate issue imo, but if they exist, why not have them follow the naming convention of all the others.
 
Sounds like it's time to have a go-around of the room and figure out what everyone's playing so that the notion that any of us can call any other of us childish is abolished.
 
@Chippies LoL is great, if you like moba's, salt, and toxicity.
 
@Yuuki Ancient, ancient Meta posts dictate why the initial decision was made as such
 
I met my now-wife in MapleStory. I don't think it gets any worse than that

10:32 PM
Some games will be more popular than others. You may play games that aren't popular. That's just how things work.
 
@GraceNote i'm playing the "should i nominate or not" game on arqade
 
I'm currently playing Touhou Puppet Dance Performance.
 
@Chippies are you happy together? then it worked
 
@Dragonrage I like moba's, but don't like salt, toxicity and the RTS control style. Smite was fun with AI, but I never tried against people, due to fear of salt and toxicity
 
@GraceNote wat
 
10:32 PM
Which is basically Touhou Pokemon, graduated from being a mere ROMHack to being a full proper standalone game
 
@badp the "worse" part was referring to the "childish games" part
 
Yes, this means you might not get rep as quickly as someone who plays Overwatch, Minecraft, and Skyrim. Yes, this is unfortunate. I don't think there's a solution to be had here though.
Or even whether a solution is needed.
 
@Chippies fair enough. i happen to love RTS's and i use the ignore feature a lot, so i can get rid of most of the salt and toxicity
 
@GraceNote would so be our true pro much core streamest
oh well.
 
I once completed and recorded Barbie: Super Model
 
10:34 PM
for example the 2 main games i play alot are: roblox, minecraft. and then most people would consider me childish, and then the mods would think im under 13 because they would think im chidish then i would be banned.
 
@Frank for the record I don't have an opinion on your voting record... that was not what I was commenting on
ffs
 
even though i am 13
and i care about how people think of me
i hate being thought of as childish
 
iirc @fredley or @Sterno found some ancient barbie dance game and got a HNQ out of it
 
@blakeharrisonakerz That's not how we enforce the "under 13" rule.
 
@Chippies the most dangerous longplays
 
10:35 PM
And that's never been how we enforce the "under 13" rule.
 
@GodEmperorDune not me
 
thats not my main point
 
@GodEmperorDune I think that was the Super Model game
 
 
10:35 PM
That's quite some way below what I'll sink to for a HNQ
 
gameplay level: Neaples

Q: How do I leave the dance floor?

fredleyI'm stuck in an eternal loop of dancing: I follow the instructions perfectly, and Barbie just loops around to the start of the dance again. How do I leave the dance floor?

 
I am an idiot
 
(don't believe his lies)
 
rekt
 
10:36 PM
heh, I got 29 upvotes on that, neat
 
also i gtg now my HORRIBLE parent are threatining to take my pc off of me because i wont stop chatting when its 23:37
 
@Chippies 290 ill-gotten reps

Q: What steps would it take to hack an Xbox 360 controller to accept input from a computer program?

Steve HyndingI understand the Xbox 360 encrypts it's signals from controller to console but I'm curious if there is a way to trigger the analogue and button signals on some under-the-hood 'surface' layer that receives inputs before the encryption takes place.

 
user4704
Based on this fellows comments he wants to make TASbot for the 360...basically.
 
@blakeharrisonakerz you probably need to go to school tomorrow, so maybe you should listen to your parents
 
user4704
10:38 PM
I don't know what to do with it this. Do you want it here? Is this a thing you folks cover?
 
@blakeharrisonakerz People your age typically need a lot of sleep. I'd go to bed.
 
user4704
Seems a bit underspecified tbh
 
I don't know that anyone in the community really is knowledgeable on TASbot making
It's not really a sort of question we have gotten before s'far as I know.
 
The best part of having an election is @GraceNote hangs out with us again

@JoshPetrie that doesn't sound gaming specific, imho
you'd probably need to solder something and I doubt we cover that
 
user4704
10:38 PM
heh
 
why would the controller encrypt its inputs? that seems like overkill
 
because fuck you proprietary hardware
 
That, pretty much
 
@GodEmperorDune probably to lessen the amount of hackers
 
YEAH FOOD RATIONS
 
10:40 PM
(I assume, I don't know enough about consoles to say for sure)
 
user4704
He could mean "encrypt" in the non-technical "I don't understand them because computers are magic" sense too.
 
user4704
I dunno. I'll leave it. I doubt he'll get a useful answer though.
 
user4704
Shame.
 
user4704
TASbot is hilarious
 
Pokemon just get crummy little leftovers. I get an entire stockpile of food rations to give my puppets.
 
10:40 PM
nerp, legit encryption: quora.com/…
 
gah, I hate when I press ctrl+w and a tab closes in the wrong chrome window
 
@Ohnana you dare link quora here?!
 
Thanks @Ohnana
 
@GodEmperorDune fite me
 
10:41 PM
TAS can be very amusing to watch. I just don't imagine we have people who can answer here, either.
 
@Ohnana time 2 get rekt m8
 
@Chippies focus follows mouse
 
The only TAS methods I know are emulator
 
@fredley it does for scrolling, but not for keyboard inputs
 
Technically you can program something to feed inputs to console but that's above my skill level
 
10:43 PM
@Chippies As in, adjust your setup so that focus follows mouse
 
user4704
@Chippies I loved that game!
 
which is great most of the time, as it allows me to keep using keyboard in one window while reading something in another window
 
user4704
Not enough to install Origin though.
 
@fredley that's more trouble than good
@JoshPetrie don't need to install it to claim it though
Perhaps one day after the steampocalypse when valve implodes on itself and steam servers die forever, you might regret not getting the free games on Origin
 
user4704
I think I still have the discs.
 
10:46 PM
@JoshPetrie you just showed how old you are
 
I haven't had a disk drive in my PC's for nearly 10 years, only in laptops
 
user4704
@Dragonrage Ancient.
 
@JoshPetrie though i do have a disc for pinball for ms dos
so what does that make me?
 
user4704
Well preserved.

Q: Is it possible to play 1v6 vs AI in Overwatch?

Albert BoriMy buddies and I are looking to get some flexibility with practice and self-challenging modes involving the AI in Overwatch. Can we set up a game somehow where the teams don't have even numbers? If so, with AI, or just vs humans?

Q: Redeeming origin skins in overwatch

Mavis EverdeenI bought the Origins edition of the game the other day, just wondering about the small set of skins that people are saying had come along (ex: overgrown bastion, strike-commander morrison, etc.), how do I redeem them?

Q: Can multiple command blocks feed into a chain?

MicroJaxI have 3 command blocks that are activated individually, and occasionally two or all three of them are activated in the same tick. What I need is for the 3 command blocks to execute some command, then execute a chain of commands only once. The chain has to execute after the 3 impulse blocks execu...

Q: Which stat does the Crafting rooms use?

BenI'm confued by the Crafting rooms - I vaguely remember seeing that the Weapon Workshop uses Agility at one point, but then it changed to Strength? I may just be insane however and imagining things. So what stats do the Weapon Workshop and the Outfit Workshop use?

Q: Is there any way to undo a move?

xenoterracideWhen I say move, I mean like I move an army from point A to point B. Sometimes I clicked on the wrong area, or forgot to change move type. Is there any way to undo it so I can remove the character in that turn?

 
Whatever, I'm here but I'm using my tablet
 
looks like its time for the bridge siesta
 
Hello @Lazers

Q: Is there a way to trade cities?

xenoterracideSince The campaign map is RISK like, and there are benefits to holding whole territories, is there any way to trade cities? this is in single player campaign mode. Feel free to answer for MP too.

 
 
@badp so much yay
dammit RHEL, get your shit together and move to python 3
 
Okay time to play Overwatch
 
@blakeharrisonakerz Robotech
 
@Wipqozn time to nominate in the election, you mean
 
@GodEmperorDune I already did that
 
11:24 PM
Dunno if anyone but me will appreciate this but just in case:
 
@Wipqozn ooh, burned by caching
 
@GodEmperorDune OH BUUUUUURRRN (cc @Wipqozn)
 
> Also, if elected I'll change my avatar back to a Turtle.
but how long will you keep it a turtle @Wipqozn?
 
@GodEmperorDune IT's best not to ask those kinds of questions.
 
@Wipqozn its too late, its a nomment now!
hahaha.gif
oh wait if @Wipqozn wins we will never be able to deowner
 
11:29 PM
@GodEmperorDune That jokes dead anyways
Just get nostalgic about the old days
 
@Wipqozn :(
 
@Wipqozn It's so dead, it's Bridge-dead.
 
but well done capitalizing on your memes in your nomination @Wipqozn

A: Do we want tags for specific heroes in Overwatch?

DragonrageI think having tags for each hero is a little much, especially since a number have similar roles and play styles, also there is currently 21 heroes with more to possibly come. 22 tags for a single game seems a little much (Minecraft has 36, but Minecraft is a beast of its own). I propose instead ...

 
I don't feel like there's enough depth to support individual tags, but that's just my opinion.
 
11:35 PM
@Dragonrage overwatch needs to hit a lot more questions before it deserves subtags
right now its only 125
 
Oh yeah, I should put up the Movie Night decision post.
 
@GodEmperorDune right, but when we revisit it, as we inevitably will down the road, class tags make a lot more sense that hero specific
 
@Dragonrage but why are we doing theoretical analysis now instead of waiting for when it actually becomes a problem?
 
@GodEmperorDune because the question was brought up in meta about it
 
@Dragonrage and it was answered and accepted :D
 
11:40 PM
@GodEmperorDune Thanks.
 
@GodEmperorDune the acceptance is a bit weird to me, since it is not the most upvoted answer, but just because it is accepted doesnt mean i cant offer my input. the accepted answer can change
 
@Wipqozn But I'm back temporarily to watch the spectacle of the election and ensure you become a mod (sock picture notwithstanding).
 
@aurevoir yay!
