I can't say I know anything about disabilities and people coping with them. My stance is that it doesn't matter, disability or not. A game recommendation is a game recommendation, and a gray area is going to lead to more stupid argumentation.
 
@Feeds NO! Don't tell me we're going to migrate another one!
 
@Grace If it makes you feel better, I voted to close without migrating.
 
...I am too late
 
tee hee!
 
@StrixVaria Personally, I like ChrisF's solution not as a perception of a gray area, but as a solid "NO" rule that we can allow exceptional exceptions to.
Which is somewhat how we handle content in general, I hope
 
12:02 AM
exceptions have to be exceptional by definition :D
 
@Grace "In these cases it's not just a case of "I like X, what else will I like" but asking for a game that will meet a very particular set of needs." makes it much more broad than that, though.
You can treat any set of criteria as a "very particular set of needs"
 
@GraceNote Now that it's migrated, we can vote to close as a duplicate!
 
@StrixVaria This is why I attempted that rather abstract summary. To pull it away from focusing on, for example, needs.
 
couldn't do that without migrating though.
 
It winds up being the same as the other suggestion, so long as it's specific enough.
 
12:03 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz We could've voted it as a duplicate on the parent site! Also, hi, @Lazlo.
 
Hi o.o I'm a bit confused sorry, it's my first time on chat.se.com.
I was directed here after my question on game-recs.
 
1
Q: Considering recommendation requests are arguably out of place on Gaming, where should I ask them?

LazloI'm looking for a very specific genre of game, that should yield no more than 2-3 recommendations, and yet, that would be great. However, considering the debate on game recommendation questions, which tends to prohibit them so far, I'm left wondering where would be an appropriate place on the w...

 
^
 
I started the close process on that question on the meta for being a duplicate on meta.
 
@Lazlo no worries, we are here for the betterment of life, the universe and everything.
 
12:05 AM
@Lazlo You don't look confused, you look like your posting to chat like a champ! What type of game were you looking for?
 
It's awful that it's a duplicate both on parent and on meta :(
 
Sorry Strix, the search results didn't bring anything up :/
@Aardvark: Thanks. I was looking for a god-like or creation-based game. Some would say sandbox, although the term has become too vague and no one really knows what it means anymore.
 
@Lazlo You're trying. this makes us like you and want to help.
 
Which is what we're here for. I'm not saying that I hate you for asking it, just that it should have been closed. Hopefully you become an awesome contributor to our site!
 
@Lazlo but from now on, they do, thanks to your question.
 
12:07 AM
What about Black and White, @Lazlo?
 
@Lazlo Minecraft?
Bit less god, bit more sandbox/creation
 
Black and White is the epitome of a god game...
 
Some examples could include the upcoming Project Dust, the (erh) Habbo Hotel, Spore's space stage, etc. Where the universe the player creates is persistent and interactive.
 
beat me too it strix, black and white is a magnificent feeling game, perhaps a game like civilization that is a little less sandbox but still has a creation feel to it
 
@StrixVaria The issue w/ B&W is that it's not terribly sandboxy IMO.
 
12:08 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz: Minecraft was attracting, but the graphics turned me off. Not that I'm usually really picky, but I didn't like the retro style so much.
 
@Lazlo There are high resolution tilesets for Minecraft!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's true. It's actually relatively confined once you get down to it
 
Still boxy, but pretty boxes!
 
Heh, yeah, I've been told it's pretty addictive.
Wait a sec, The Bridge = Gaming, right?
 
Yep.
 
12:09 AM
@Lazlo Yeah, Bridge is basically the Gaming chat lounge.
It's where people that hang out on Gaming.SE hang out in chat.
 
It's basically the bridge of a spaceship. Or summat.
 
Definitely not a Board+Card Games chat about the game Bridge
 
@Lazlo Bridge of the StackExchange™ HeartGaming™ AskQuestion MotherShip™
 
Although that's what I thought at first
 
I don't know how we fit a spaceship inside of another one. But that's how it goes, I guess.
 
12:10 AM
Ah I see. Back on topic, is the world in B&W(2?) persistent?
 
I only played B&W1
But it played vaguely like an RTS
 
Mm. I'm looking for persistence.
 
There were separate stages that you had to play through
 
I want to create a world and be able to go to bed, come back the day after and go on with it.
 
Yeah, B&W felt more like a heroes of might and magic game to me, less like a creationist's haven
 
12:11 AM
Well, B&W's games were long enough that you could play the same one for weeks...
But I don't think that's what you're looking for anyway
 
@Lazlo Yeah, that's not B&W's core gameplay. Though there might be an open world mode of some sort, it's not what the game is built around.
There are actually several iPhone games that fit the bill...
 
@GraceNote never heard of capital ships transporting spacestations? time for you to fire up X3: Terran Conflict
 
Well then, I'm open to other suggestions again. :)
 
@alexanderpas Catface: Terran Conflict? Is that an RTS?
 
@Lazlo Any Platform restrictions? Because Pocket God sounds pretty perfect.
 
12:13 AM
...
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ideally PC. I do have Pocket God though, and I enjoy it a lot.
I might actually be looking for an endless, boundless the Settlers, if you know what I mean. :/

Do I get to fight the Bydo?
 
@Lazlo I feel like there should be a Maxis game that has what you want
 
@Str
Dang, sorry.
@StrixVaria: Referring to Spore?
 
12:16 AM
You can edit chat messages
 
@Lazlo Have you played The Guild?
 
Oh god
 
Ah, wow. o.ô Strange mechanism, thanks for the tip.
 
My friends in college were addicted to The Guild
It's the glitchiest game I've ever seen
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz No, I haven't. How is it?
 
12:17 AM
@Lazlo Pretty damned fantastic. it's a bit more micro in it's scope, but very freeform.
 
It's like The Sims + Sim City + Heroes of Might and Magic
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz thanks for reminding me... adding it to my wishlist on steam now.
 
Mm, the graphics seem to match the setting, at least.
 
@Lazlo You could also check out the Tropico games
 
12:19 AM
My friends used to play multiplayer, but the game turned into "how long can we go before the game de-syncs" more than actually playing the game.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Indeed, I had forgotten about those.
 
The Guild II is availble on Steam for those that are interested.
 
@alexanderpas is The Guild II any good btw? I've only played the first.
 
I'll have to go, thanks for the help. :)
 
@alexanderpas The only "Guild" I know is the web series
 
12:23 AM
I hope you enjoyed your time here at the Bridge, @Lazlo. Please come back~
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz haven't played it, but is is getting mixed reviews according to metacritic, where the low reviewers didn't understand the game it seems .
 
@CRoss You should rectify that. The first game at the very least may not be perfect, but it's pretty essential nonetheless IMO.
@alexanderpas Sounds a lot like what happened to the first.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz style, genre?

@LessPop_MoreFizz Woah I never suggested it was similar to having a bad pc
What is going on with people misrepresenting things I've said
 
@tzenes That wasn't you.
@LessPop is quoting someone else there
 
ok, since I'm specifically mentioned in the next line its hard to establish that context
 
Well, the offending comment was deleted. I think I deleted it before you even showed up in that comment thread

nope.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Thanks!
 
Now, who wants to undertake the herculean task of going back through posts and remarking up all relevant content?
 
I'm apparently scheduled to assist with the Wowpedia links.

2:44 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Works for me, shows "(removed)" here, I just can't figure out how to reveal it. ;)
 
@hheimbuerger That's just a chat deletion, not an actual spoiler markup
 
If you hover over the message, hheimbuerg, you see the arrow on the left?
It provides a popout, and one of the links is the post history which you can use to read a deleted post.
 
@GraceNote He was making a joke...
It appears to have gone over your head. :P
 
A bad one, at that...
 
2:46 AM
Oh, ahha, I see... eheh
 
It's okay, I got it.

But thanks for the well-intended help. :)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I did this with Nethack. Admittedly, there are far more WOW links than Nethack ones.

2:56 AM
There is no way that that question should stay open. It's got less than no relevance to gaming.
 
Check it out, there's a new Talkative badge for being chatty.
 
@GraceNote I saw! I has it!
oh wait, I has it on MSO
But not on Gaming.
Something is broken methinks.
 
The going theory is that the sheer size of Gaming chat is making it take a while to award all the badges.
 
Can we get that retroactively? I should have it already...
 
People on other sites are getting it retroactively. Comparatively, we have almost a thousand starred posts alone.

@alexanderpas Wait, Math is bigger than us?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz If you think about how much is in each individual post, it's not too surprising.
 
Yes, Math is bigger than Gaming in raw data! (this includes meta, but excludes chat.)

4:19 AM
@GraceNote I was under the impression that they were doing things like working on ridiculously complicated proofs over there, and that some questions were unanswered because the answer takes months of group effort to solve

So I identified and fixed or found workarounds for a number of my Borderlands problems. (It's still an embarassing PC port, but at least it's playable now.)
Would you say it makes sense to create a question for it and an individual answer with each of my solutions?
Wouldn't that be a bit too obvious rep farming, useful or not?
 
As long as the question isn't overly specific, and you give other people a chance to provide an answer too, it's generally alright.
 
+1 for @Brant
 
Well, I have no idea how specific it is. It's not "tweak register AH of the graphics card with the serial number XXX", but...
You know how it works with these optimizations. There are always strangely different for everyone.
 
Maybe make a more general question along the lines of "How can I optimize performance in Borderlands" or something like that.

@ivo You're still missing the point of that question.
the help is assumed. What he's asking is whether the increased inconvenience/slowdown of sitting out of a group and finishing off mobs after the lowbie tags them to gain the full XP is worth it, versus eating the XP penalty and finishing more quests in less time.
 
We have self-propelled artillery, I guess it could serve as a killbot if things got bad enough.
 
yes, the answer is: finish the quests quicker, forget about xp for mobs
 
9:52 PM
@IvoFlipse I don't know that that's the case. The last time I looked into it, I found it was actually substantially faster to tag a whole bunch of mobs, and then have an out of group high level one shot them w/ an AE.
 
I edited in that he could tag them and let the other one out of group finish them
but getting buffed and healed helps enough
even if he doesn't kill them
 
I'd actually have to agree, I've found that mass genocide from one side of the area to the other WHILE questing gives the most exp
 
if you're rested, have a leveling guide, any method will get you tons of rep
 
@IvoFlipse Also keep in mind that he's looking to use a Warrior to assist here, so he can't sit out of group and heal the lowbie in question.
 
Too bad we can't just track down someone who runs a professional powerleveling service and ask them. They've probably got it down to a science.

Q: Does it make a difference how many of the Emperor's bonus objectives you complete?

CortTie Fighter extended on X-Wing in that it had not only primary and secondary objectives, but also bonus objectives, given out by an advisor of the Emperor.

Comment by 'Yrd' after the inevitable graphics card maker discussion that broke out after a benchmark: »I was walking down the street and saw a pretty lady, I said to her, "I'm an ATI fanboy," and she shagged me on the spot. I saw another pretty lady shortly after and told her "I'm an NVIDIA fanboy," and she kicked me in the nuts.«
 
You're shooting us.

Q: xbox Kinect vs ps3 + move

Broken LinkI'm not able to decide which one to buy between Xbox + kinect Vs PS3 + move, Since kinect is just came out, I feel it's worth to buy it, because the next version is going to take a while to come out. It's been a while sony ps3 + move came out.. are they going to release a new version/hardware soo...

 
Oh god, a recommendation thread, quick get the dogs!
 
we could close as not a real question too... there's several different questions going on in there.
 
It seems like musing rather than a specific question, maybe he/she's lonely and would like the chance to stare at Ceiling Jimmy with the rest of us

I voted to close, but I also gave him an objective answer as a comment. Not which one he should buy, but putting his thoughts into perspective.
 
Mmmh, GFWL login broken or is it just that bad?...

Okay. I'm in-game, paused, and I have six tabs open in three browser windows in the Steam overlay... and counting.
Fuck.
They should have never introduced the overlay, really...
All I wanted to know was how to lower that bridge.

whoops, thanks for the tip
 
Also, Heya @grace, didn't see you sneak in.
 
she prefers the backdoor @LessPop_MoreFizz
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Isn't that the point?
 
@GraceNote Maybe the point for you. But it's a failure of perspicacity on my part.

I'm going to go grab a dictionary, now
