@djsmiley2k He was warned that it wasn't a very good question

good luck.

i've kinda lost hope in any kind of sense really

I think the community consensus is pretty clearly "please don't post more like this"; if you want to test the water some more please be my guest, but I don't think this is a question that really fits this site.

I mean:

@djsmiley2k We'd rather someone try to fix their existing question than just keep posting new questions until one gets by

also I just noticed that you may now be the owner of RefleX, Reflex and Rflex on Steam

@badp Correction: when I deleted the post, the downvotes went away. But I'm willing to edit and undelete.

...yes they're called the same, but it doesn't take much to see they're completely different.

@unforgettableid Can you even undelete? I forget. I don't think so.

9:02 PM

@badp I believe so yes

@badp I can.

@unforgettableid It depends; if that's what you meant to ask, yes, edit the question, and undelete it.

sounds good

There's no guarantees it will be welcomed, but that would be the best course of action.

@Unionhawk I think that under a certain rep threshold you can only so long as you don't close the tab.

otherwise it will 404.

9:03 PM

But asking another question with the same self-answer smacks of deletion to discard downvotes.

unless that was changed recently.

No, as long as it is your post and you have a link to it, it is visible

I believe

@Unionhawk It should also be in their recently deleted posts link.

Yes, I forgot that exists

@badp That used to be true. I think it works better nowadays.

@badp Nowadays, when others view the page it will still 404, but I think the original asker can view and undelete the question anytime -- forever.

IIRC the rep threshold to view other people's deleted posts is 10,000.

My friend's built something impressive and I want to see it. However, they built it a long way from the spawn point and they've forgotten how to get to it from there. They're afraid that if they leave it, they'll lose it too. How can I find my way to them? [I am aware this is a duplicate of How...

We know that this is an attack from the enemy so sickness in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I command you to loose her. No more headaches, no more drainage in Jesus name. God loves you Kayla. have a great week and enjoy your Labor Day weekend"

@unforgettableid I don't know any context of this discussion, but at this point you're probably not going to be able to reverse most of those votes no matter what you do, people have voted and gone.

9:10 PM

@GnomeSlice There are more than 7 people here in this chat room :)

@spugsley Nice

@spugsley ...drainage?

@spugsley TIL feet have souls.

@GnomeSlice lol. I guess she has a sinus infection and apparently it came from the devil? I'm not sure

@unforgettableid You might change up your answer too

@GnomeSlice But you raise a good point.

9:12 PM

on the plus side, I found another person to unfollow

@SaintWacko If you were me, what would you change?

@unforgettableid Pretend you're answering the new question instead of the old one

> The game is gone from the Google Play store now.

How is this even a problem now?

@spugsley lolol

The thing that jumps out at me is that it sounds like you're saying that one of the differences between Zombies, Run! and Zombie Run! is that one is called Zombies, Run! and the other is called Zombie Run!

9:14 PM

@Frank Edited, and maybe fixed. (Is it?)

@unforgettableid Removing the line doesn't fix it.

If people can't download that game, how is it still a problem?

@Frank It's now available from Aptoide.

Can they get both games from the same app store?

@Frank Please do take a look at my edit.

@SaintWacko Well, I haven't (yet) ever played either of the two games, so it's hard for me to tell people so much about the difference. But the post is community wiki. :)

If both games aren't available in the same app store, then this is a non-issue.

9:16 PM

@Frank why?

@unforgettableid I am. You're not addressing the problem.

@Frank Both games still exist, and Google still knows about both games.

@Frank Why is that?

@murgatroid99 How is someone going to get confused by them?

I'm having real trouble seeing an actual problem here.

@Frank Because one is called, for short, Zombie Run; the other is called Zombies Run. The names are too similar.

9:17 PM

@unforgettableid And how, exactly, are people going to encounter both games to cause said confusion?

@Frank Oh, I see your point now. They're not in the same list, so even though they have the same name, people won't be deciding between them directly

@murgatroid99 Exactly. They're in separate areas. Unless they're both in the same place, what problem are we solving? People aren't going to be confused, because they won't see both games.

because i find games via google

D:

DERRRP

@Frank On the other hand, there are, I think, app-store-agnostic lists of mobile games

@murgatroid99 Which is a fair point.

9:19 PM

and unless my friend goes 'the one on the aptitude' store or whatever it's called...

And Googling one is likely to turn up hits for the other

I hadn't thought of that.

@murgatroid99 Izzy of Android.SE might have one.

anywayssssss

/me is bored of such predanticness :(

9:20 PM

@murgatroid99 To be fair, Zombie Run is common enough that it'll cause confusion just by itself.

it stops us doing what we dont' do best

answering stuff

@murgatroid99 App Lists › Augmented Reality (Overview)

@unforgettableid Yes, that does appear to be one such list

nice list.

@murgatroid99 And has neither of the games in question.

9:24 PM

@Frank Well, yeah, that's a very specific list

I guess I'd say I'm neutral. I won't downvote, but I won't vote to reopen, either.

@Frank That's not a list of every mobile app. It's only a specific, irrelevant category of mobile apps

@murgatroid99 Yeah, I know.

I feel the question is borrowing trouble more than anything else.

Can anyone give a factual comparison of these two very simular games?

But it is concieveably a problem that someone might run into. I don't think the chances of it happening are all that high, though.

9:25 PM

hmmm

/me ponders if that becomes opinion based or not.

Chippies

Oh it feels so good to not care!

@djsmiley2k Okay, dude, you're not contributing. Please stop.

Problem-existence aside, I don't really feel that "what is the difference between game x and game y", where x and y are wholly unrelated games other than they may be named similarly would really work here.

how the fuck does this work

@djsmiley2k Nobody said it was opinion based, so I don't see what your point is here

9:26 PM

@djsmiley2k Yes. The answer is community-wiki. They can try both and then do so.

@murgatroid99 no, the question is my own

1 min ago, by djsmiley2k

Can anyone give a factual comparison of these two very simular games?

I wonder if that's passible

what IS the community wiki btw?

@Unionhawk Well, then the question can float into obscurity, where only Google users can find it.

@djsmiley2k It means that nobody gets rep

Community wiki means that anyone can edit it with no restrictions but nobody gets rep for it

IS THIS SHIELD GOING TO GO DOWN ANY TIME IN THE NEXT 5 MONTHS

9:27 PM

@badp No

@Unionhawk Many people see it as a pass to ask problematic questions, though.

go behind it?

@unforgettableid Yeah, that tiny portion of internet users that use Google.

@fredley The point is that people who don't Google for it will tend to never see it.

I still don't understand how you think you can rate objectively, a question's usefulness to future users...

9:29 PM

@unforgettableid This describes almost the entire ~~internet~~ World Wide Web

of course SOME questions you can, but some you can't

@fredley but but but dark web

@badp I'm positive you played this before

@djsmiley2k There, happy?

@GnomeSlice Yes, I have.

Ballpoint Universe

I know what it is

9:30 PM

right anyway I'm off to bed

It's a shmup.

@fredley lol haha nice.

why don't YOU shmup?

D:

with the most annoying platforming

gaming.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic says that questions about "game terminology" are on-topic.

THE MOST ANNOYING

9:33 PM

@unforgettableid That's referring to questions like "What does 'frag' mean in the context of an FPS?"

@murgatroid99 oh.

@unforgettableid One big problem with your 'question', as far as I can tell, is that it reads a lot like an advert, and we don't like adverts. It also contains information (e.g. about pricing) that is likely to go out of date very quickly.

Ok, I actually followed the aptoid link, and the developer's link from there leads to a phishing site.

@fredley Interesting points. Let me try to fix it.

@fredley what??

@fredley which link?

@unforgettableid Well I'm not going to post it here. Find it yourself

@fredley Oh, you mean the "More Info? Feature Suggestion?" link. Well, the project founder has stopped updates, and has probably let his domain registration lapse.

9:38 PM

THIS PLATFORMING IS ALMOST AS BAD AS THE ONE IN FFF

@fredley There's not so much one can do about evil domain snatchers. Maybe someone can take it up with the responsible registrar. Or with the registrar in charge of .org (probably VeriSign).

@fredley It's interesting that the Firefox phishing filter doesn't know about it.

@fredley I've removed the pricing information, and I think I've also reduced the advertising quota. How do you like my latest edit?

@fredley: also, what's wrong with the Aptoide link for Zombie Run? Is the issue that it might point users to a phishing site?

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR OWN GAME

user15026

@spugsley I.....what

@AshleyNunn yeah it's so bizarre

10:09 PM

> enjoy your Labor Day weekend.

I believe it is at this point that I expired.

@spugsley I am going to name my plumbing supply store "no more drainage in Jesus name"

@GodEmperorDune hallelujah

In other news, I found the neatest prop today

for 5 dollas :D

Nice

What is it?

a circlet!

it's so elven!

Can't wait to use it :D

So fancy!

10:14 PM

That looks ripe for shopping... Forehead lazers, engage!

@spugsley you are focusing on it so intensely too

user15026

@GodEmperorDune praise be

Praise be, praise be

@GodEmperorDune @spugsley is now The Vision.

@Yuuki done. My life is complete

@Yuuki yesssss

10:17 PM

@spugsley Watch for giant purple dudes with weird wrinkly skin beards and a propensity for sitting.

@Yuuki I read that last word too fast, but have recovered now

Now to go get travel insurance for my trip!

Grace Note

10:52 PM

@badp That's... pretty bad

user15026

I AM AN IDIOT

user15026

I WASTED ALL MY ADVENTURES TODAY SLEEPING ON THE STUPID COUCH

user15026

(I meant to check the number, read, "54" and then....typed 54 into the stupid box)

user15026

and I already ate and drank so I can't get more :(

11:10 PM

@AshleyNunn I would avoid using the couch to recover HP.

I think Turtle Tamers have a self-heal...

user15026

I usually use my house

user15026

I SHOULD HAVE USED MY HOUSE

Ah. You do have one that fully heals you for one adventure.

And also gives you a 10-adventures buff.

user15026

ffs seriously

user15026

what

user15026

11:11 PM

I just

user15026

I am so sad all my adventures are gone

user15026

I was having fun in the desert

> Spirit Vacation - You sometimes like to spend an Adventure going on vacation in the Spirit World, which fully heals you and also recharges your mental batteries, on account of all the holiday ghoooooooooooooooooooosts. Holiday ghoooooooooooooosts.

It's a L1 skill that you can train in the guild.

user15026

So I likely have it

user15026

Damn

11:12 PM

@AshleyNunn Lemme see if I can rustle up some not-a-pipes for you.

user15026

I am so mad at myself

Also, do you have a maid?

user15026

No?

Wait Google has changed their logo!?

@RedRiderX Yup

We looked at it right before I went to sleep yesterday night. It's so cute

11:17 PM

It really is

@AshleyNunn You should check your mailbox.

@AshleyNunn @Yuuki not as bad as the time I overdrank with 300 or so adventures remaining... And in hardcore so no access to hair of the dog

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Okay, that's pretty bad

@AshleyNunn Also, do you have enough meat to make the proper amounts of meat paste?

I think you need 9 piles of meat paste.

user15026

I think I do, yeah

user15026

11:22 PM

Also that message cracked me up

Actually I was out of hardcore, but I think it was too much for hair of the dog to handle. In any case, I spent 160 turns or so cooking and crafting

Unlike in real life, cooking while drunk is great in kol

> And don't ask why it's a 'maid head', even though you used a 'maiden wig' to get it.

Anyways, setting up a Meat maid will shave time off your morning routine, letting you spend more 4 more Adventures per day.

user15026

yay!

user15026

and the not-a-pipe's gave me a few more adventures :D

user15026

Thanks so much!

Q: Is it a long term lose to transmit experiment data in KSP .23+?

@AshleyNunn Hopefully, you didn't consume/smoke so many that your spleen exploded.

We have a question that is almost the same as this one...but the question and answer both pertain to an earlier version (< .23), and note that the specific answer was to change with the newer version. I know that if I do an experiment and recover the data by bringing the ship back to Kerbin and ...

kerbal-space-program

user15026

@Yuuki Nope :)

The new Tom Clancy HiB looks nice, but blaaagh, it's all Uplay

@AshleyNunn (Don't worry, they won't let your spleen explode)

user15026

Well, thats good, that strikes me as something unpleasant and messy

11:36 PM

@PrivatePansy ha ha

It's only a snippet, and it has a link to the source of the information, so I think that's properly called a "search result"

@PrivatePansy Ooooh sick burn

@murgatroid99 True, and in this case Wikipedia's licensing actually explicitly allows them to do this with proper attribution, but it's not hard to see why the EU would be filing anti-trust charges against Google for this

user15026

Apparently pumpkin spice season is upon us - a peanut butter brand just announced pumpkin spice peanut butter.

Actually, hmmm. The anti-trust charges was slightly different. It was about favoring Google Plus review results and content over other review sites such as Yelp's

11:46 PM

I probably just shouldn't comment on ongoing legal stuff

Anyway, thanks all for all your feedback!
