So, @GraceNote - design question. Is it a Bad Idea to use C# classes to store... say, levels and menus? I.e., Class LevelOne: Level and Class OptionsMenu: Menu ? 'Cause if not, I'm not quite sure what's preferential to that.

Grace Note

Writing each level as its own class seems really stupid.

Raven Dreamer

Hence me asking the question.

Grace Note

I believe there are certain strategies involving separate classes for certain kinds of menus (though I admit I wasn't writing in C# that time), but separate levels... no.

I'd like to make a compact crafting station, so I think I'd like to place a demon altar, like in the Terraria Crafting 101 Guide. But, how can I actually obtain one? The wiki says that hitting them before destroying the Wall of Flesh only results in the player taking damage. How can I pick u...

Q: Are the Master destruction spells useful?

I was wondering if the Master destruction spells are useful or just to show them off? I'm asking because it takes ages to cast and you can't hold them neither precisely point (Lighting Storm)... What do you think? Have you ever used them with a purpose? Cheers

@Ullallulloo oh nice

@StevenJeuris Moreof that we stole... aw phooey, give me a moment...

agent86

@GraceNote wait, what? am I potentially missing out on some hot video game grant action?

Grace Note

@agent86 You already decided to "pass on free video games"

agent86

@GraceNote mkay, but there was some talk about diablo 3, is that one of the games that was coming out this cycle?

Grace Note

9:05 PM

@agent86 No

agent86

not much of a PC gamer, but I had thought it was coming out much later.

Grace Note

Unless Blizzard pulls off like, time magic.

Raven Dreamer

@agent86 Correct.

Blizzard has Soon(TM). Valve has the time magic of Valvetime.

agent86

mkay, so some people put in for D3 although it's not scheduled for release?

Raven Dreamer

Though admittedly, they've only gotten good at "making tomorrow turn into next week, and the week from now meaning april after next".

agent86

9:06 PM

and there's two parallel grants going on?

Grace Note

Diablo 3 was part of the Fall Gaming Grant selection.

Raven Dreamer

@agent86 It was scheduled for release. It got pushed back.

Grace Note

Which we ran back in, like, August. To cover games that were running over Fall.

...and, wait a minute, didn't we subtract Diablo 3 from the running anyway?

agent86

hmm, okay

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote Well, we did, but we already had over 10 applicants. It was pretty much in the limbo of, "hm. Well, crap. Now what?"

agent86

9:07 PM

so in addition to the "next two weeks" type grants, there are seasonal grants as well?

Raven Dreamer

TIL: Pressing up causes you to edit your previous post.

Grace Note

The Fall Gaming Grant preceded the change that led to the "Next Two Weeks" grants

(Also known as the Cyclic No-One-Applies Gaming Stack Exchange Promotional Grants)

agent86

ah, okay. thanks for the disambiguation.

Raven Dreamer

It is also over. Nearly deceased.

Had Diablo III released, it would be kaput.

agent86

@RavenDreamer more changing to the grants in the future, you mean?

Raven Dreamer

9:09 PM

What you're familiar with is what the grants changed to.

There's no more changing.

No more transmogrification or whathaveyou.

FallenAngelEyes

Hopefully

agent86

okay. I was mildly confused, but then I got better.

well, here's hoping they stick around in their current incarnation, because goddammit, I like free games

Ronan Forman

Is there a limit on the number of games we can get?

Grace Note

We started off with the Targeted Grants v1.0. Then when I handed it over to Brett, we had Targeted Grants v2.0 at first, which led to the Fall Gaming Grant. Then Jeff stepped in and we changed to the Cyclic No-One-Applies Gaming Stack Exchange Promotional Grants. On the side, we also run Targeted Grants v3.0.

agent86

@GraceNote what is a targeted grant 3.0?

besides being targeted grant 2.0++

Raven Dreamer

9:11 PM

@RonanForman Ever? Nah.

@agent86 Abby says, "oh, let's buy X copies of game Y. Who wants game Y?"

For categories of Game Y that include games / systems / phenotypes not handled by no-one-applies grant.

Grace Note

@RonanForman Yes but the limit is based on how often you produce content. If you keep doing well, you continue to be eligible. If you stop, we picket your lawn and you cease to be eligible.

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote You mean I could get a picket fence‽

Ronan Forman

I see.

Grace Note

@RavenDreamer No, we cover stuff handled by the Cyclic No-One-Applies Gaming Stack Exchange Promotional Grant as well with Targeted Grants v3.0

agent86

@RavenDreamer so the infinity blade 2 thing would be an example of a targeted grant, if I'm understanding properly.

Nick T

9:13 PM

People really need to look at the new designs critically instead of gushing over them.

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote Well, yes. "includes". Grant 3.0 has the potential to include things CNOA grant.

agent86

@NickT this comment is soooo awesome :D wait, what did you say?

Grace Note

Consider Modern Warfare 3 (which, admittedly, we did because no one applied for the Cyclic No-One-Applies Gaming Stack Exchange Promotional Grant).

Raven Dreamer

I might have my terminology confused.

agent86

@GraceNote so... if I had found this site a few months earlier, I could have gotten modern warfare 3 for free? I'm not sure if I should hate myself right now.

Grace Note

9:14 PM

@NickT I was just actually working up a screenshot on how the vote breakdown is very hard to read.

@agent86 We ran the MW3 Targeted Grant as part of the huge promotional event. If you missed that, then yes.

But you could've just applied to MW3 as part of the Cyclic No-One-Applies Gaming Stack Exchange Promotional Grant to begin with.

@NickT Do you mind if I just stuff it into your answer?

Nick T

@GraceNote np

agent86

@GraceNote I've been here a relatively limited amount of time. the grant I applied to was the first one I knew about/was eligible for. I actually got 500 rep just so I could apply.

Nick T

sjohnston

@StevenJeuris How do you measure UI effectiveness objectively?

Huh. When did they add the snowman to notifications?

Nick T

@sjohnston another nice thing about code is that you have syntax highlighting turning stuff all sorts of colors

Steven Jeuris

@sjohnston Strain on eyes, readability (how much text to read over time), ... but I'm just guessing now. Pretty sure you can come up with objective measurements.

Nick T

@StevenJeuris I use some preset of Notepad++, I can't remember which. I used to customize it to the nth degree, but I have installed and reinstalled too many times to go through that level of customization anymore

Nick T

@agent86 I do too prefer light-on-dark for code, but that's because code is different, mostly because of the syntax highlighting...and tab stops to structure it well

The tag is primarily used for the identification of dead and wounded and essential basic medical information for the treatment of the latter, such as blood type and history of inoculations, along with providing religious preference. Dog tags are usually fabricated from a corrosion-resistant metal or alloy such as aluminum, monel or stainless-steel, although, during wartime, they have been made from whatever metals were available.

Pet tag

A pet ID tag, or pet tag is a small flat tag worn on pets' collars or harnesses. Humane societies and rescue organizations recommend that dogs and cats wear these tags, which contain information to enable someone encountering a stray animal to contact the owner. Some people object to pet id tags because of the jingling noise they make as their animals move. A collar-mount tag, either slide-on or riveted-on, flat to a collar's surface, is silent and therefore avoids this problem. Other people use a tag silencer to enclose the loose tags in a small neoprene pouch or a soft rubbery p...

kinda dumb that they didn't give any instructions though :(

there's not even a link to any instructions from the website, just a zip file with a bunch of binary blobs in it

@RonanForman power = energy/time, 1 watt (LOWERCASE W) = 1 joule/1 second

Skeet shooting

Skeet shooting is one of the three major types of competitive shotgun target shooting sports (the others are trap shooting and sporting clays).

General principles Skeet is a recreational and competitive activity where participants attempt to break clay disks flung into the air at high speed from a variety of angles.

@RonanForman yes; you were being nonspecific about energy and time though

Arda Xi

@RonanForman You were using quantities and units interchangeably. You can't do that.

@Fredy31 I suppose this explains how you broke our last door. Those are expensive, you know.

Nick T

@Fredy31 have any reputable links to that effect? All the ones I've found are months old and just random news sites...not the best sources

Ronan Forman

Other than Origin being required to download and install the game content in the first place, is it required to play the digital download version of Star Wars: The Old Republic? Could I literally uninstall it later? Is it like EVE Online and Steam, where (if installed through Steam) the client ...

Q: Can the bard play music or musical instruments?

I've completed the quest chain at the Bards College in Skyrim, but can't figure out what to do next. Is there a next? Do I get to play any kind of music in game? Basically, what's the purpose of the bard?

Q: Can I turn the difficulty up higher than Master?

My first character is a level 60 high elf with 100 destruction, conjuration, heavy armor, smithing and enchanting. A room full of the 'most elite' type of whatever threat is around just doesn't phase him anymore. He's getting bored with his high elf existence, and asks your help to make his wor...
