@KevinvanderVelden Yea, not feeling temperature is equaly bad. "This super hot water is so hot it burns and will make me pass out in a bit, let's not get in" is a good bodily reaction.

Yuuki

@KevinvanderVelden I was just trying to illustrate the point that "suffering" as far as the video defines it as feeling pain is linked specifically having working pain receptors.

Wipqozn

@Arperum I actually really like this tbh, because I always wish I spent more time cooking, but then I get lazy.

Yuuki

And so a toaster without any way of feeling pain isn't by that definition "suffering" when you unplug it.

@badp lolol that's actually pretty clever

@Yuuki I was wondering from where I recognized that name. It was from an AskReddit thread: "you can have a threesome with 2 people, but their name has to rhyme. who do you choose?" and one of the answers was "Natalie Dormer and a clone of the former"

Otherwise I don't know who she is

@Nzall As far as I know, she's really only famous for playing a character in Game of Thrones.

@Yuuki She had a role in The Tudors, and the last two Hunger Games movies (at least I think she was in both).

Q: How to find an unknown Steam User

I was playing with someone on Ark: Survival recently, I CTD'd and couldn't get his information. Is there any means that I could find this users steam account even though he hasn't logged in since? I know of the function View: Players in Steam, but it only shows me the last 24 hours and I haven't...

Q: Can I get DLC weapons for DLC I own from the Shrine?

The wayfinder's Glaive weapon only drops in the Drachenfels DLC, which I own. Weapons can also be acquired by praying at the Shrine. If I pray for a wayfinder melee weapon at the Shrine, is it possible for me to receive a glaive?

Q: PvP where the opponent is a bot

Kinda strange question. In some games there are mixed types of PvP. You fight a bot who uses a hero(upgrades, perks, equipment etc) of a player. Is there any professional term for this type of combat?

Q: How to remove skull, which obscures the vision?

Each time you kill someone a skull appears, that obscures your vision for a second. How to avoid it and make the targets behind it visible? Anything would be good, for example, remove the skull, make it more transparent, make it different color (so at least I can see the outlines of the enemy).

@Jutschge terminology questions are always weird.

Frank

@Jutschge Because giving us a set of vague information and asking us to define it isn't really possible.

Giving us a term and asking UA to explain it, that we can do. The reverse, not so much.

Today I again started playing POGO, I found some Natus as gen 2 update is rolled out. I downloaded an app to check IVs of my pokemon to get rid of some but stumbled upon one Natu's ability which is listed as unrecognized. Anyone have thoughts about this? It shows maximum IV as -1 for all gen 2 ...

This attack required over 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 SHA1 computations. This took the equivalent processing power as 6,500 years of single-CPU computations and 110 years of single-GPU computations.

Frank

@Jutschge Yup.

Jutschge

Has some good answers and not really in essay format.

So how is it too broad?

Frank

These questions require context. Like, a specific game. Terminology across the breadth of gaming is too broad.

One game might call it X. Another calls it Y. They might not call it anything at all.

murgatroid99

@Jutschge "Too broad" can also mean "There are too many possible answers", and you can see that in the answers to that question

Frank

They're also at least a little opinionated; everyone's going to think a different term is correct, when they all mean more or less the same thing.

I'm actually surprised, I don't remember Splinter Cell Blacklist being particularly buggy. Not sure of the overlap in teams between that and the recent Assassin's Creed titles

@Jutschge If there's no real right answer, yeah, it is.

BlueBarren

@TimStone what did they do?

Sterno

@TimStone I was watching someone try to stream it. Lots of trouble getting a party together. Unskippable cutscenes. Server crashes. Finally got it going and it was laggy and choppy

Tim Stone

@BlueBarren The quoted tweet is praising pineapple pizza as an amazing Canadian invention

Sterno

Might be more "frustrating and unoptimized" rather than "buggy" I guess. There wasn't much actual gameplay before they gave up

Jutschge

@Frank To me a lot of these answers seem real and right.

Tim Stone

@Sterno Ahh. I was just confused since it's not out until March 7th, but if there's a lot of issues they won't be fixed that quickly

BlueBarren

Tim Stone

4:52 PM

@Sterno Ah ha

Jutschge

@Frank There is no "most right" in a situation like this. Those are simply synonyms. If I google any of these terms I'll get the same or very similar results. They're simply all correct.

@Avery "Rolling back those protections would not be moral." - Betsy DeVos (paraphrasing)

@Jutschge So how do you judge utility or correctness?

Jutschge

@Frank I upvote those that provide useful information. If I were to ask a question like this my intent would be to find out more about this specific "thing" through researching with a concrete term. If all of them are correct I'd upvote all of them and accept the one that made it the easiest for me to find something I wanted to know.

@Jutschge So basically, nothing objective to it.

We have a terminology tag, which makes sense.
