YAY, CLICKY.

12:10 AM

So anyway, rather than "transient bugs", it really feels like "yeah, okay, sure, a donkey would've got that, I fixed it in 10 minutes. NO REPS FOR YOU."

@Mana How about CLICKETY for next time? For some variation.

@badp Agreed. I'll hold you to that.

Trouble logging in? Clickety.

@badp That's an exceptionally negative way of imagining it, but I suppose you could say it that way.

@GraceNote ...where the negative part is on me being the donkey?

Self-deprecation, I often use that one. Works well too.

Intonation moreso.

Maybe not this time tho.

I actually didn't think of that as self-deprecation

Q: Does lava evaporate in Dwarf Fortress?

I just finished my lava moat, powered by a volcano. If I shut the lava supply, will the moat eventually dry up?

@Bob This sounds suspiciously minecraft like.

@badp Backwards.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, I thought it was just Minecraft with the source/non-source nonsense

I was so confused by how water worked in Minecraft for a long time.

(I'm confused today still at times.)

@badp I'm just pointing out that Dorf Fortress precedes minecraft when it comes to kooky developer indie games with obsessively detailed 'physics' and other environmental rules.

I bought the GOTY edition of Borderlands I am a bit confused. I could figure out, that with the included DLC the level cap is now at 69. But what is the skill cap? I have this little tool: http://www.borderlandsthegame.com/skilltree/roland/ It shows me 57 skill points which let me thought, that...

@LessPop_MoreFizz That GIF of people being repeatedly run over is disturbing me.

So, what are the vegas odds on GRRM missing another release date on July 12th?

3:19 PM

Speaking of which, is it worth getting the XBLA version of Beyond Good and Evil, or should I just play through the PC version again?

@sjohnston The disturbing bit isn't the GIF, it's the guy with the iPhone making the video of the car about to run over him.

I've heard that the "HD update" is the same as running the PC version in 1920x1080 mode.

sjohnston

@badp I was under the impression that people were already shooting video of the bike event, and the car then just happened to drive through them.

@Bob Has anyone removed lego-star-wars from the tags for this question yet?

just did.

3:26 PM

starcraft probably needed to go as well.

→ 6 messages moved to The Relaxation Vault.

Curiously though, it told me there was an edit pending and gave me the opportunity to accept or reject it. Is there a page somewhere that lists all outstanding edit requests?

Yes, if you have 10k

Yi Jiang

@Brant There is if you have 10k

gaming.stackexchange.com/suggested-edits/198 is what you must've been looking for though

3:29 PM

Hmm, I wonder why it's a 10k tool if 3kers like me can still accept/reject them from the question view

BTW you can always get the link to suggested edits for posts you're looking at

gaming.stackexchange.com/posts/17615/revisions -- you'll see "suggested" is a link

the question view says edit (1) if there are edits pending, too

when I clicked it to fix the question title it popped up the "approve/reject" dialogamatron with Dave's edit

so I can still view/accept pending edits, I just have to be looking at the question directly

Stack Overflow Blog: Suggested Edits and Edit Review

@Brant Actually, it's 2000 rep to approve/reject them. I'm not sure why it's 10k to see them all from one panel, as Jeff didn't really explain why in the blog

Posted by Jeff Atwood on February 5th, 2011

The Stack Exchange engine draws inspiration from a number of sources.

We continue to be great admirers of Wikipedia, but we’ve always missed out on one crucial aspect of their system: we never allowed anonymous users to edit content. No, that required earning privileges through participation — specifically, the retag privilege at 500 reputation and the full editing privilege at 2000 reputation.

Well, as of today, I’m proud to announce that we allow anonymous and new users to edit content in our system! The surface area of this change is huge — it means the millions of drive-by anonymous users that visit our sites every day can submit an improvement or correction. Furthermore, you can earn up to +1000 reputation for submitting valid edits. …

zomg, sailor moon on TV!!

@Powerlord I think it's the worry that reviewing and accepting edits may quickly feel like work

I think personally it's a case of Stack Overflowitis (sizing and modelling features assuming that all sites have the numbers of SO)

but then again SO is even specialer, as you don't get a number of pending edit reviews at the top of every page if there are less than 5.

3:45 PM

@badp Yes, I've noticed that.

Yi Jiang

@badp I think it's always good to think ahead and dream big :P

@Powerlord Grace sez, "Seeing pending edit suggestions is a 10k ability for the same reason that seeing pending close votes is a 10k ability."

google-maps

@badp No it isn't. It's a 3k ability. Unless @GraceNote means pending delete votes.

@ArdaXi Viewing the list of questions with close votes is a 10k ability.

@badp Oh, that one. The reason for that being?

(I never understood that)

@ArdaXi Not overwhelming people with information?

4:11 PM

@badp By not allowing them access to such information?

You have plenty of time to learn to close appropriately in those 7k.

Honestly, that's a crappy reason.

in Gaming The System, 5 mins ago, by Grace Note

RE: Why list at 10k: Roughly, it's to give users a time to organically use the power first, when things run into their normal daily routine. It makes it more of an ability they have, rather than a responsibility of something that they should try to stay on top of, so to speak. It also keeps you to working in things that are in your domain, rather than trying to spread to the full reaches of the site.

But why deny users the ability to do it?

At worst let me see them if I go to /review without any link on the site whatsoever.

What? 3kers can close.

4:14 PM

@badp The ability to stay on top of it.

@ArdaXi I guess it's not required of 3kers to stay on top of it.

@badp It's not only not required, they're denied the oppertunity, even if they want to.

The point is that 3k-ers are trusted enough to participate in the maintenance of those portions of the site that they are using anyway. 10k-ers are trusted enough to participate in the maintenance of the entire site.

Well, you're not giving any special abilities, you're just making it harder on the 3k-ers

eh, you're making a big deal out of this, but really, if it isn't on the homepage and it isn't on chat

it isn't being closed.

It's gonna be either you or Fabian Arda.

Do you really want to let the German win?

@LessPop_MoreFizz It isn't going to be either me or Fabian. It's going to be Fabian.

Sure, just roll over for the Germans. Let history repeat itself. I see how it goes.

That's... a tad offensive.

Are seasons of fixed length in SC2?

@badp No.

4:23 PM

Okay, then it's too localized indeed.

Just compare my and Fabian's top tags. That explains why he'll win.

@badp Not neccesarily. They aren't of fixed length, but there is some sort of reason to them

@ArdaXi I dunno man, as tags go, murder is evergreen.

It has one question.

Wheras Fallout: New Vegas questions have dropped off dramatically.

Well, of course, murder is one way to beat Fabian to the punch.

4:25 PM

@ArdaXi One question now.

@ArdaXi See that! now you're thinkin'!

But, you know, Germany is far away, and he's almost twice my age.

@ArdaXi So what you're saying is he won't expect it, and your youthful energy and fitness will allow you to outmaneuver him in a stand up fight?

@LessPop_MoreFizz Youthful energy? He's not that old...

@ArdaXi he's twice your age!

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm not 14 years old...

4:29 PM

Alas, as amusing as inciting @arda to murder @Fabian is, I have work to do. Later all.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Don't worry, I'll work on it... after lunch

I would lol if there is an actual lunch tag... ;)

Not even meta has one

unacceptable

@badp there's nothing localized about that question.

He specifically asks when the current season will be over.

@Brant It's a date release question. They're all closed that way.

- No interest once season is over

- Answer isn't certain until the season is over.

I know I'd like to have release date questions, but the community doesn't like them
