Q: Deep, atmospheric, imagination-driven non-action games of the past decades.

This may be a borderline-subjective question, but I'll try do my best to objectively define it. I'm one of the gamers who care less about action and graphics, and more about the story that unveils in my head as I play. I need neither the hand-holding to get through the story, nor Hollywood-style...

I gotta say, that's pretty well-defined in the title

Definitely off-topic, no?

@Arda RE deep, atmospheric - I don't like it. It's basically "which game has a good story", which feels way too broad in my opinion. Especially considering the list of game example he brought contains games that - in my opinion - do not have a good story.

Oak

It's like asking "which game has a really good graphics"

Oak

Arda Xi

That's true

At least he tried to specify it

What about this?

Q: Game directed software questions

I want help installing lubbofancontrol under bootcamp on my mac for the specific reason that it should increase gaming performance. Should I ask that here or on superuser? I know it's a SU-compatible question more than a gaming question, but the only reason I'm asking is that it is a piece of s...

discussion allowed-questions

the question itself seems deleted

Oak

Jeff convinced him that it's super-user related

Arda Xi

No, that's another question

Oak

7:16 AM

oh, right

Arda Xi

I mean regarding the steam issue

Oak

wait wait

Oak

lemme read the steam one :)

Arda Xi

I think it's deleted, it was about a web page error

Oak

Meanwhile, if some question was closed and I disagree, should I bring it up in meta?

Oak

7:17 AM

(and I can't see deleted questions)

Arda Xi

Me neither

Other than voting to reopen I guess you could bring it up on meta

Oak

Odd, why would anyone delete a question from meta?

Arda Xi

no, not from meta, from gaming itself

gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/2549/…

Oak

Dunno then

Oak

Well you just need just 400 more rep

Oak

7:21 AM

The way you're going, it'll take you just one day :)

Arda Xi

Yep, turns out to be a bit difficult with rep caps and little questions

400 rep will take at least 2 days, seeing as I'm already at half my cap

Oak

Oh, if you're at half then I guess it'll really be 2 days for you :)

Oak

It was just impressive how quickly you got rep over the first week

Oak

Like, 200 + acceptance bonuses

Oak

Especially considered how few users there were

Arda Xi

7:22 AM

It's easy if you try :)

On SO it's a lot harder :/

People need to start accepting my answers, I want Enlightened :(

oh, only need 300 more.

Jeff Atwood

good ol' voting anomalies

Q: Why did my reputation decrease overnight?

I filled out my profile information after achieving a reputation of nearly 200 and as I saved the changes, all of a sudden my reputation dropped(in the parent site) to 25! I checked my rep page and it seemed to have forgotten all my answers and such. It did however keep one of my answers that was...

support reputation

Oak

Yea it's weird you have gazillion rep and tons of accepted, but no enlightened.

Oak

"voting anomalies"? Like suspected abusing?

Arda Xi

Speaking of which, shouldn't I have got Enlightened for this one?

A: Why does Steam not sell the Mac versions of all games?

What games are sold on the Steam Store is entirely up to the distributor. If there's a Mac version but it isn't on Steam yet you could try to contact the distributor (EA, PopCap) to see if they'll put it up. The SteamPlay feature is very new right now, you'll just have to wait a bit for it. The...

First answer, 10 upvotes, accepted

Oak

Maybe there were an earlier answer that got deleted?

Jeff Atwood

7:34 AM

probably you are impatient :) badge awards take a little bit except for bronze

Arda Xi

I got the 10th upvote a few days ago I think..

oh, 2 hours ago. never mind

Oak

Does anyone knows what does "days exceeding reputation cap: X" means in my report?

Oak

(kinda @Jeff)

Jeff Atwood

search for that string on meta.so

Oak

7:36 AM

"rep cap was exceeded on X days"

Jeff Atwood

use quotes

Oak

Yea, I guess I'm not the first :)

Oak

One of your comments somewhere is the best explanation: "did you reach 200 rep from PURE UPVOTES? That's "reached". Did you reach 200 or more rep from upvotes + accepts? That's "exceeded". Neither calculation includes bounties."

Arda Xi

So if you get one accepted answer you will already not get 'reached'?

Oak

Why?

Oak

7:41 AM

If you get one accepted answer it means that IF you get reached, you're also guaranteed to get exceeded

Arda Xi

"did you reach 200 rep from PURE UPVOTES? That's "reached"

Oak

But you may still get exceeded without getting reached
