Fair comparison? Not in the slightest. Do I care? No.
 
@Unionhawk Chicago is 9 times the size of Halifax. Of course it's going to have 9 times the gun crime.

Fair comparison? Not in the slightest. Do I care? No.
Though I think Chicago still wins on the shootings per capita, with 1,800 shootings and roughly 3 million residents, versus 50 and roughly half a million. But, even that is still not an entirely fair comparison.
Either way, not a fair comparison, don't care
Also, that's for definitions of "wins" meaning "loses"
 
@Blem I see your burgers and raise you more burgers
 
I am hungry now
 
@MBraedley I see your more burgers and raise you even more burgers
 
@SaintWacko but are they as good as mine? 'Cause mine are really good

Q: How Do Doors Keep Fire from Spreading?

NMCWhat is the max player allowed to play simultaneously in a multiplayer game ? Is is the same for both and internet and LAN game ?

 
Yeah that is nice

I... Don't feel that sad
I don't feel a god damn thing for this thing

@RedRiderX Don't worry about that. Also, don't worry if you all of a sudden become sad over something completely unrelated. Grief is weird.

@James the piece is called "Regenerating Tardis" so yeah that's pretty accurate
 
@Yuki Although, by the sounds of it, they aren't doing those annoying half-seasons this year. so, longer initial wait, but you get the whole thing unbroken.
 
@AshleyNunn This sounds... unpleasant. <_<
 
@TrentHawkins Oh, I'm not complaining about the wait. I'm just wondering if it already started airing and I missed it.

user58869
8:59 AM
@badp why did you remove links from two of my posts?
 
because I feel the answer is improved by that. This is not Wikipedia, you don't need to link everything you can.
 
user58869
i dont see how removing information improves an answer
 
user58869
you also removed links from a question that i posted
 
user58869
@badp were you really trying to improve the post, or was it the links themselves that you had issue with?
 
No actual information was removed. Just some links. Also some typoes and some sentences were split.
 
9:09 AM
Well, not every single thing that can possibly have a link necessarily needs one.
 
user58869
the links contain information, removing them removes that information from the post
 
The information was not actually in the post, and if it was it wouldn't have belonged.
 
user58869
@TrentHawkins are you implying that the links did not need to be there?
 
That is what I'm saying also.
 
@Alex Many of them, yes.
 
9:11 AM
@Alex A few links to highly relevant information are a good thing, but the amount in your posts was overwhelming to the point of actually detracting from the content.
 
Too many links make a post hard to read.
 
user58869
@TrentHawkins unfortunately I feel that one of the links that did need to be there was removed
 
@Alex feel free to put that one link back in there
There's no need to link to every spell, area, skill, character or quest you mention however.
 
user58869
@badp you should have removed 1 link from there, maybe two, but leaving only one seems overzealous, is there some sort of problem with linking to wowhead?
 
I removed all links that I personally found unnecessary. I didn't just remove links either.
 
9:14 AM
@Alex Let me put it this way, there's a reason when anyone mentions cobblestone in an Minecraft question/answer we don't link to the Minecraft Wiki's entry on cobblestone. Could there be useful information on that wiki page? yes. Does it help someone to understand the question or answer better? probably not (unless the question was specifically about cobblestone).
 
user58869
@Arperum i dont see that, the styling of the site makes links look much the same as normal text
 
@Alex Not even close. Underlined and blue.
 
user58869
@Arperum not for me
 
It's not really a matter of looks
When there is a link, you probably put it there because following it is probably a good idea
 
@Alex We are not in the business of producing wikis, we are in the business of producing answers
 
9:16 AM
When you put 15 links in your post it becomes just unnecessarily hard to read it because at every link you have to stop and decide whether to click or not
 
I also have the habit of clicking/checking every single link, this would reading an answer/question with a pile of links a lot of work. Half of the time I don't even start reading because of that.

@badp in hindsight, I think the noblegarden vendor link could have been omitted

user58869
@fredley so the links were removed in the spirit of differentiating stack exchange from wikipedia?
 
If you can't rework a link to be in a list of sources at the bottom of your post, it doesn't need to be there. (in most cases).
 
9:17 AM
@Alex That's not what I said.
 
If it wouldn't make sense to use it as a source, why is the link even in there?
 
user58869
@fredley it is not, however, what you said in conjunction with what badp said, certainly gives that impression
 
It's not that we need to not have links to be unique, it's more backwards: Wikipedia needs links to and from everywhere because it's an encyclopedia.
 
@Alex I'm not saying anything in conjunction with @badp, just expressing my own opinions.
 
user58869
@Arperum that's an interesting statement, though in the case of the specific question that was edited, I do think that all of the links could have been reworked into a list of sources
 
9:21 AM
TIL: doge2048 exists ... someone please shoot me
 
@Alex The things is we don't even need sources, as long as the answer is right. See: we are not an encyclopaedia.
 
@Alex So in case of a source, there is no need to click the link for more information, since all the required information is already in the post.

When I replaced world with old version of the same world (before exploration and with the same set of mods) lags disappeared. So,...

 
@Alex I have made a good faith effort to improve your posts
 
@fredley No, I live in a part of the world that has a very complicated and specific language.
 
9:42 AM
I have not simply stripped links from your posts arbitrarily.
 
@Alex I've compiled a well reasoned point-by-point on the unnessessarities of the links in your question, as it originally was posted:
1: Linking to the announcement page that doesn't really say anything you haven't already in your question is not useful, and doesn't help anyone understand your question better. The second link to the Noblegarden Guide is a good one, but probably better suited to go where the announcement link is.
 
If you are not comfortable with the community editing your posts, Stack Exchange might not be the site for you.
 
2: Frankly, only one of these links are necessary - and even then I'd consider omitting it. You've told us what you are after (a Swift SpringStrider by way of 500 noblegarden Chocolate from the appropriate vendor), Linking to every single thing here is unnecessary and ultimately tangential to the root of your question (What is the best route in location X).
3: GoldShire and Dolanaar... you've already explained that you've given up looking in these two places. Therefore you don't need to expand on those places explained to us.
4: Presumably, anyone who can possibly help you find the best egg-hunting path in asure watch already knows what asure watch is. The link is superfluous.
 
user58869
@badp was it really necessary to say that?
 
5: And here's a picture of me sitting in-front of my computer at 4:30AM in naught but my underwear. The picture is unnecessary to the answering of your question.
 
user58869
9:45 AM
@badp at no point have i said i that i am not comfortable with the community editing my posts
 
do you have a problem in believing that we are making a good faith effort to improve your posts?
 
user58869
@badp no
 
user58869
@badp you thought i did?
 
so why are our attempts to explain the edits we've made offend you?
 
user58869
@badp i did not say that the attempts to explain edits made to my posts by badp offended me
 
9:48 AM
at any rate, @TrentHawkins made a number of good points
 
user58869
@badp i didn't see his posts, he was on ignore for some reason
 
user58869
i've shown his posts and I can see that he has made criticisms of my question and included a screenshot
 
user58869
i wish i hadn't asked it now
 
user58869
i can only hope someone answers it before noblegarden ends
 
@Alex It is a good question, you just need to take it a little easier on the linking to superfluous wiki pages, hence why many of the links were edited out by members of the community.

Speaking of which, this is a nice explanation of how exactly they use the evils of psychology to manipulate people into paying them:
 
@badp looks like it's being groomed for MS take over with those new top guys
 
If you want to make money off of people, now you know how.
 
@MartinSojka I don't honestly see the evils of psychology there
"They've taken Bejeweled and thrown actual level design into it" seems like a perfectly sensible thing to me
 
@MartinSojka if you give me money now, I offer you the option of giving money later too!
 
10:34 AM
of course, it's the specific brand of level design and the specific curve of "engagement" they've thrown into the game that's evil
 
sorry, I didn't watch the video
 
@badp As with every science, it can be used for good and for evil. In this case, designing the game so that you often lose very closely and would win if you only paid a few $$$ is clearly the latter.
 
just thought I'd give it a try
 
@MartinSojka oh, but the truly evil thing is that not all levels are like that.
You can breeze through the first 40 or so levels just fine.
 
Yeah, the first fix is always free.

The massive difficulty spikes don't come until you're way deep into the game.
 
@MartinSojka We're incorporating similar methods (behaviour change psych models) in order to get people to check their moles regularly so as to not die of cancer. Good uses of science exist!
 
@badp That's just to make you hooked
 
And when you do get through, you have about a dozen more easy levels
and then another spike
then ten more easy levels
and then another spike
then another eight easy levels

I can vouch for this. I have actually reached a level I don't think I can pass without paying
 
I mean, games getting harder as you progress is what games do
 
10:37 AM
@badp Yeah, but you usually can pass a difficult section with skill.
 
Even ranking it as boring didn't help
 
With CC, not so much.
But that's obvious
 
Historical perspective: Much of the same tactics were used in coin-op arcade games
 
INSERT COIN TO CONTINUE...9...8...

Well there is skill in noticing the massive combos and clearing opportunities
 
You have to keep paying to keep your progress (loss aversion)
 
@fredley Well, you could still beat those with skill
 
but you need also to have massive luck to have the opportunity to put the skill to use
 
The games are basically impossible to complete without paying multiple times
And even to practice involves paying every time you want to play
@5pike Skill takes practice, practice takes money
I have never played CCS, nor will I ever
 
money takes work, work takes skill...
 
10:39 AM
@fredley Right, but you CAN beat it with skill. In CC, even if you are skilled, the RNG simply denies you a win
 
to be honest, it's weird to see them harp on Candy Crush for being an example of F2P done right when just a week ago they called out its kind as the kind of games that are best enjoyed as a "let's see how far can I get without paying" challenge
 
@5pike So it's a glorified gambling app
 
@fredley It is
 
@fredley some levels are, yes; namely, all of those that come out as google autocomplete suggestions for "candy crush level"
 
@5pike Root phone, manipulate RNG, profit?
 
10:41 AM
@fredley That, or install a cheat engine and unlock all the extra stuff.
 
@fredley I think you can sync process with Facebook and the Facebook+Flash version of the game can be cheated fairly easily

Q: How can I stop people from living in shacks?

Twilight SparkleI've built apartment blocks and condominiums all over the island, the radio has declared my people filthy rich, and I have so few uneducated workers that my mines and farms only have 1 or 2 workers each. But still my people insist on living in shacks that I regularly demolish to get them to move ...

 
@badp Yes, flash hacks are oldsauce
 
of course to do that you need to soul your Facebook soul to them, so at this point I'm not even sure they care anymore
 
@badp CC and F2P done right? What the hell are they smoking?
 
10:42 AM
@5pike as in, it's making shitloads of money
 
@badp My facebook soul is a jaded husk anyway.
 
@badp Ahhh
 
and, to be completely honest, I've played that game a lot and they didn't get a single dime out of me
not even a single Facebook post was made
 
@badp Same here.
 
luckily my sanity was preserved through tablet flashing
 
10:43 AM
It's a nice game for when you have to go to the toilet ...
 
I wasn't gonna get back to level 90-odd from scratch
whichever level it was that I'd gotten stuck for a week at.
 
No, stupid email spammer, "winniner" is not a German word. It's not even English, it's no word at all...
 
@5pike Not even an UD word RETURN CARRIAGE WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST
Weird
Where did that carriage return come from?
 
@fredley magic, it came from magic
 
@KevinvanderVelden I see...
 
10:48 AM
It's quite hilarious to read.
 
I'm getting a lot of "messages" "from" "PayPal" telling me that my "account" has been "limited."
 
It's not translated with Google, it has had to be translated word for word...
 
@fredley also known as; a wizard did it.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Are you a wizard?
 
@fredley naah, I'm a dragon, clearly
 
10:50 AM
@5pike A quick search in Google shows that some people actually manage to misspell "winner" like that. How ...?!?
 
@5pike oh! we can make up a defintion here!
 
@KevinvanderVelden dragons can do magic
 
That's also quite hilarious: #MyNYPD
 
@badp ssssssssh
