Raven DreamerPerhaps two weeks ago or so, I began having terrible latency problems whenever I began playing online. At first, I thought the wireless receiver (a USB device) on my computer was simply failing, but these problems also occur when using my laptop, and for my brother on his laptop (we share the sam...

Q: Ash physics - Mining safely in the underworld

FabianWhile mining in the underworld I noticed that ash block behave in a very peculiar way, like a hybrid of sand and solid blocks.

Q: Where can I adjust the time scale for TF2 replays?

badpThe translation servers for VALVe have the strings for adjusting the time scale of replays, so that you can time-lapse certain sections and play others in slow motion. I cannot however find this option on the replay GUI. Is it in there somewhere, or has it just not been released?

anyways bbl, torrenting Backtrack5 so my internet's supah slooooow all day
 
after super laggy intros at a whopping 8 fps, and some ammo hunting game, the game told me to tap space.
Space was tapped and nothing happened and the guy gained a little more health and I lost all my health and with some thumb sucking the ammo finding minigame resumed.
Then the game told me to do that again and space was tapped and nothing happened.
And then I quit.

UllallullooOccasionally, I've seen enemies drop yellow orbs, and I can't figure out what they do. They're especially plentiful during the final boss fight, but that's not the only place. Green's health, blue's focus, purple's power, but what could yellow be? (btw, I don't mean the quest guide. ;) )

Jeez Valve, sort your forum/wiki database server out.

I'd like to ask about games classification models. So, the only tag I can thing that fits is 'classification'
 
@FabianoPS We've had questions about classifications before, but no specific tag for it.
 
Oak
@FabianoPS You can paste your question here and we can think about a tag together... or you can just post it and let someone else retag it if it's inaccurate
 
6:50 PM
I will do that immediately

Q: I am looking for a intuitive way people may classify games based on tags

Fabiano PSI am trying to build a definition for people to classify games in more things than just 'Genre'.. But maybe, I am just 'reinventing the wheel'! This way should be open for people to build, like a wiki, therefore, that should be very intuitive, as using words. So far, I have the following criter...

 
Oak
@FabianoPS well, game mechanics is definitely inappropriate here.
 
@Oak thanks, i guess :P
 
Oak
@FabianoPS it's less obvious from the name... but read the tag description
 
6:58 PM
I dunno... this doesn't really seem to be about games per se.
 
@Oak until now I didn't even knew there was tag descriptions lol
So.. what about a tag: classification? I just switched for 'genre'
@ArdaXi I find this about games, as much classification system
 
@FabianoPS It seems to be a question about something about games.
aka meta.
 
Oak
Also, no offense but I have to confess I don't like the question, it feels like the kinds of questions that can have no definite answer. There is no universal classification method for software in general, or video games in particular; and that means you're basically asking for users' opinion as to what attributes should be considered... and that's a subjective question.

@Oak That seems... weird... coming from you.
 
7:03 PM
I get it is subjective, as there may be plenty, also it is not about A game, which is common here.. But I am not looking for the best method, that would create a mess! I am just looking for a way of doing, much as a player looking for a way to beat a boss
 
Oak
@ArdaXi coming from me? Why?
 
@Oak Because you've always been really liberal about possibly subjective questions.
 
Oak
@ArdaXi I still am; I guess I do have my limits :)
 
@FabianoPS But there is a definitive answer on how to beat a boss. You know when a boss is beaten, which is at the point of . You never know when a classification system is finished.
 
touche! that is a good point
If it is too subjective of a question I may withdraw
 
Oak
7:06 PM
@FabianoPS I think it's a real (and interesting) question, but just way too subjective. Which classification system is more successful than another? It's not something that can be quantified. Like @Arda said, there's no real way to know when something is more "correct" than another
but that's just my opinion.
(well technically you can compare classification systems, but you have to define the criteria yourself, which brings us back to subjectivity)
 
Besides, one of the most-used classification systems is subjective at its very core.

Q: What are some comprehensive game database websites, like IMDB is for movies?

Nathan ChaseLooking for websites that contain a broad depth of detailed information/imagery for classic/vintage, arcade, handheld, PC, console, and mobile games.

It provides a list of game-database sites
You can see how they classify their games
 
@Oak Woah. Woah. WOAH. Stop the presses. I wanted a question to stay open?
When has that ever happened?
 
hahahahaha
@Oak that question is of great help!! thanks :D
So guys.. since you are being so helpful, let me elaborate
Have you ever seen Jinni ? It rocks, for movies
but, what about games? mobygames? come on!
 
I got an invite for that when it was still in closed beta.
Wow, that sounded hipster of me.
 
7:12 PM
So, I am in a attempt of doing something better, but for games..
 
Oak
@FabianoPS also added a link as a comment in your question, in case anyone else will find it useful
 
a hybrid of Jinny, but I do need help on the system
@Oak +1 thanks
 
Jinni never seemed very appealing to me. I mean "Movie genome"? How more obvious can you copy Pandora?
 
Oak
@FabianoPS good, I hope now you won't hate me because I have voted to close your question :) I understand where you coming from, I just don't think it's appropriate for the site, it's just too subjective, too personal-opinion, in nature. It's good for chat though
Personally I like youtube's "plot keywords" system
 
Nah.. its ok, worth the chat, more than a crappy answer I would normally get from such question

@ArdaXi Welcome to yesterday
Crates 19-21 say hello to Arda
 
@badp I know about the whole premium thingy.
But I hadn't gone in-depth.
 
@ArdaXi Indeed it's not the premium thingy
It's the strange item quality, they count kills and change their name accordingly
 
That IS the premium thingy.
 
No, it has nothing to do with F2P
 
7:48 PM
F2P accounts don't get those items.
 
→ basic/premium accounts
 
Premium accounts do.
 
Premium do only if they uncrate them.
They're found in crate series 19-21
so it's really nothing to do with being premium.
 
hrmph
So I'm not getting them either way.
 
Yeah.
Series crate 20 has for example a chance of strange gloves of running urgently
People who uncrated those have been going around trying to kill people with them

@badp So they are omnipotent, omnipresent creator figures who impose moral authority on those who venerate them?
 
no, they're omnipresent and they backstab everything

and their backstab is omnipotent
 
But they aren't creator figures.

Q: What happens when you use a name tag on a strange item?

RapidaIf I use a name tag on a strange item in Team Fortress 2, does it keep the kill count and name changes? So that it becomes "strange description"+"name" Or does the name tag over write the name changing properties so that it will always be what you name it? So that it is always "name"

sigh looks like there was more accounts under that password than expected
