@GraceNote Is there any way to see exactly how much network rep I have? All I can see is '10k'.

@GnomeSlice It's not gonna happen. Deal with it.

@GnomeSlice 10044. Hover.

@GraceNote Ah, okay, thanks. I wonder where the .1k from yesterday went...

Q: 3 Mission Autosaves -> 1 Mission Autosave

I am playing on Classic difficulty, and where I used to have three Autosaves for a mission, I now only have one (i.e., the same file is rewritten each turn, so I can't go back a turn). Did this setting get changed after a game update, or might this be a bug? I did some googling, but didn't find a...

@RonanForman Christmas time = no free time for me, but I'll let you know when I have some free time. I'm not required for playtesting though!

@fbueckert Protectinated

Ronan Forman

@fredley Okay, well I'll set up a play test this weekend and record some footage for the trailer then.

fredley

@RonanForman Cool. I was thinking for metrics, count the number of redstone blocks and present as "x km of redstone wiring"

Assuming it is >1000

Ronan Forman

@fredley Nice idea.

OrigamiRobot

@fredley I wanna build cool redstone things :(

fredley

4:39 PM

@OrigamiRobot Then why don't you?

OrigamiRobot

@fredley I want to build them to be used.

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Ah. Then build something like a game!

@OrigamiRobot Seriously, it's not like @RonanForman or I will stop building stuff once MM is out the door

@OrigamiRobot Build a cool adventure map/minigame, and they will come

OrigamiRobot

@fredley I already did! With @Fluttershy! Everyone stopped playing MC right before we got a chance to try it out.

@RonanForman Wat

@RonanForman How much redstone?

Ronan Forman

Blog - Stack Exchange: Stack Overflow localizes Careers 2.0 in German

Bethany Marzewski on December 12, 2012

After months of work from our dev team, last week marked the official launch of our first localized site with Careers 2.0 in German. We celebrated the occasion in style on December 5 with a blow-out party at Betahaus in Berlin complete with product demos, free food, free t-shirts, oh, and German beer of course.

But why Germany? Well, aside from the fact that it gave us a great excuse to make these really cool t-shirts, we have a few other pretty good reasons for this expansion:

Ranting at our rejected edits, he is.

unforgettableid

Hi all. I just posted "Some excellent items may be permanently destroyed unless I act. What should I do?". I think it applies to all games, not just Crawl. Could someone please create some new tags, and tag it with those tags, to reflect that fact?

fbueckert

@unforgettableid You're posting in the wrong area, dude.

That's not an answer. It's you ranting about the fact that we rejected your edits.

unforgettableid

@fbueckert I don't think I'm angry at the rejected edits. I've been editing Wikipedia for years, and I try to be humble and learn. I plan to learn from the rejected edits too. And despite that I ended my answer to the above question with "Goodbye", I have no plans to leave Arqade permanently.

In fact, I don't think there's any connection between the rejected edits and my recent question.

fbueckert

@unforgettableid It barely answers your question, dude.

Grace Note

@unforgettableid What one can do to avoid action on one's stash is actually pretty dependent on the game in question.

fbueckert

6:27 PM

It really does sound like a rant. Not a mad rant, but you basically going, "Games are supposed to be fun, so I'm taking my ball and going home."

Grace Note

This is why we ask questions typically around an individual game - the super-essence of the problem might be something you run into in a lot of similar games, but the concrete problem the user is facing is local to the game in question.

unforgettableid

The point is, I decided that having fun was more important than saving those items. Instead of clicking the "back" button to avoid asking the question, I posted an answer that said that having fun was more important than saving those items.

If I wanted to save the items, I would've added more details to the question.

user15026

@unforgettableid but that doesn't answer the question.

unforgettableid

@AshleyNunn Agreed.

Instead, it explains why the question didn't need to be asked in the first place.

user15026

@unforgettableid so it reads more like an unnecessary rant and isn't an answer and thus does not need to be there.

bwarner

6:29 PM

@unforgettableid So then, why ask it?

user15026

@unforgettableid also, what if someone else wants to know the answer?

OrigamiRobot

@unforgettableid If it didn't need to be asked, just delete it.

Grace Note

Except some people might actually run into that problem. In fact, I'm pretty sure I have an answer about stash protection in Nethack. In Crawl, especially to servants of Jiyva, this is actually a real problem.

unforgettableid

@GraceNote My Crawl character is not a servant of Jiyva.

Grace Note

No, but you're not the only person we're here to help.

SaintWacko

6:30 PM

@unforgettableid Hey, what are the odds of that?

unforgettableid

@bwarner I decided in the end to ask it so that I could post an "answer" about why the question isn't so important to me.

SaintWacko

I'm playing Crawl right now!

unforgettableid

@GraceNote Fair point.

user15026

@saintwacko whoa. mind blown

unforgettableid

@GraceNote So maybe I should have posted a comment instead of an answer?

Grace Note

6:31 PM

I would've just suggested not posting anything at all if you don't actually have this problem.

murgatroid99

@unforgettableid The entire thing is pretty unnecessary. Once the question is out there, it doesn't matter that you don't need the answer anymore

fbueckert

@GraceNote Ditto.

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot I don't know, I kinda like Arqadians better

Grace Note

The act of posting a question means you have the intent of getting a solution to that problem. If you have no intent to get a solution, then it does not help us, nor future visitors, to have the question around.

SaintWacko

@fbueckert I'm mildly sad that you rejected the edits, but not horribly sad. Like I said, I try to be humble and accept such edit rejections. And I think I did fine at accepting them. As I said, the question and answer has **no connection** to the edit rejections.

GnomeSlice

@unforgettableid That's not a very good answer though.

This isn't a forum, a question asking about how to save items should get an answer about how to save the items.

fbueckert

@unforgettableid Then how do you explain this? You're posting a non-answer as an answer. Something brought this on.

unforgettableid

@fbueckert I realized that the item(s) aren't that important. Is that so hard to believe?

fbueckert

@unforgettableid Actually, yeah, it is.

OrigamiRobot

6:37 PM

@fbueckert He realized the question was pointless to him. Still, that was not the way to answer the question.

Just because your personal answer is "Don't worry about it." doesn't make it a good answer.

Especially as 75% of your answer is a passive-aggressive response to something, and a jab at Arqade in general.

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot That's true, it's probably more like "If you never look at the question again we won't get an accepted answer"

@unforgettableid I think it's fine the way it is. Less is more sometimes.

One good thing about mark leaving is I found out that the stack exchange people obtain a level of ownership of everything posted on their services... sooo yeah that question is nolonger yours :D

@OrigamiRobot I didn't want someone reading the question to think my character was a Jiyva worshipper. S/he's not.

OrigamiRobot

@James How dare you. There was nothing good about MarkTrapp Leaving.

@murgatroid99 If someone answers it will show up in my inbox. And if I accept an answer, IIRC I'll gain reputation points. So I don't see any reason not to accept some answer.

James

@unforgettableid Question and comment look good to me :D

@unforgettableid In that case my point about accepted answers is retracted

James

@OrigamiRobot I can think of 2 things, one was what I posted, I gained knowledge, two, I do not have to listen to a daily selection of how Sci.Fi sucks:)

@James Thank you.

OrigamiRobot

@James When MarkTrapp rises again, you will be the first to go.

James

@OrigamiRobot Like as not. I hope he does come back and while I feel he was totally justified with being pissed off, it doesnt change the fact that he just pretty much threw a tantrum.. Again, justifiably so (he has put vast amounts of time and knowledge into the SE sites) but it doesn't change how he is representing himself currently.

@OrigamiRobot I'm not done with GW2. I haven't really played any games at all for the past week or so.

@StrixVaria The hell.. I just got used to your new name and you change back!?

StrixVaria

I'm also going on vacation this upcoming week, so I will be not playing anything until at least Christmas.

@StrixVaria I see you stuck by your guns. You kept the name just long enough for everyone to get used to it, and to start referring to you as Invader.

fbueckert

@StrixVaria Pfft.

James

@StrixVaria I think this is all some sort of conspiracy to keep me confused :D

fbueckert

I refused to refer to you as Invader.
