@badp Your graph is wrong: PC, even amongst PC users, refers to Windows. This is how the current tag situation actually is:

user2334

badp

@MarkTrapp gaming.stackexchange.com/tags/pc/info

user2334

@badp Look how the tag is actually used on the 626 questions there, and everywhere else on the internet

badp

PC is for questions about "mouse sensitivity" or "console"

if you think Windows and use PC and ask about "mouse sensitivity" you're implicitly doing the right thing

user2334

Making a point about how you don't like how PC has been consolidated to mean just Windows has no place here

badp

10:33

because the question necessarily applies also to Linux and Mac

@MarkTrapp So why do we have a windows tag?

a rather neglected windows tag may I add

@badp There's not a single question out there that's on-topic on Gaming.SE about mouse sensitivity that would apply to all three platforms.

Eh, the term PC has been around way longer than Windows, dunno why the meaning would suddenly shift

user2334

@badp That's not how the term PC is used. PC became synonymous with Windows at the end of the OS wars in the 90s.

badp

@MarkTrapp If you're saying that we should do a massive cleanup of the pc tag, I can agree with that

if you're saying that having "mac" in the tag would help reach more people using "mac" in their google searches then great, let's do that too.

You don't have to convince me anyway, there are four other awesome mods and the SE team who probably aren't as much fanboy-ist and bigots and ignorant

user2334

@badp I'm saying the platform is called "Mac", that's what people call it everywhere: from Steam, to every gaming blog out there, to Blizzard. Not "mac-osx", not "mac-os-x", not "osx". "OS X" is acceptable, barely, because it's the actual name of the operating system. I'm also saying your arguments about ambiguity with OS 11 (plus the ones you made previously about Mac OS classic) are red herrings and irrelevant, as the platform has always been called Mac.

user2334

The difference between Mac OS classic, OS X, and some hypothetical backwards-incompatible OS 11 are the same level of differences between pre- and post-NT versions of Windows.

badp

10:46

@MarkTrapp Yeah, I don't actually agree "Mac" is a platform.

user2334

And you'd be wrong.

badp

It's as much of a platform as "Dell" is

user2334

Dell is the name of a computer manufacturer. It's not a platform. Apple is a computer manufacturer. I'm not arguing for an "apple" tag.

badp

Just because they're the only machines with OS X on top of it, it doesn't make that a platform. An iPad isn't an iPad as opposed to an iPhone because of iOS.

They are different platforms with the same operative system.

Is the OS in the original XBox and the XBox 360 actually different?

(does anybody care?)

@MarkTrapp Okay - fine - how about "ultrabook", would that be a platform tag?

Pubby

Doesn't XBox use modified Windows or something? I think Dreamcast did too. Does that make them PCs?

user2334

10:48

@badp "Mac" is akin to "iOS", not "iPad" or "iPhone". You develop for the Mac platform, just like you develop for the Windows, iOS, or Android platforms.

badp

@Pubby They're not computers as in "general purpose computing devices"

user2334

@badp No, because that's not a platform. Do you not understand the difference between a computer and a development platform?

badp

@MarkTrapp Is it a relevant difference in a website that doesn't do development?

user2334

…are you serious?

user2334

We have a dozen platform tags. I can't tell if you're just trying to troll me now.

badp

10:51

Yeah, I'm just saying we can't afford to have a "mac" platform tag and it sucks

it'd be misused just like "pc" is being misused"

we could just give up and rename "pc" to "windows"

but what about questions that aren't actually about one of them?

I can't think of many Windows-but-not-Mac or Mac-but-not-Windows questions for, say, TF2

which is a massively different game from TF2 for XBox or PS

user2334

@badp But we can afford to have a Linux, Windows, PC, PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, NES, Commodore 64 (!) tag

Pubby

I don't understand what's the point of retagging. Why does it need to be fixed?

user2334

@Pubby Because it's wrong and it makes us look like idiots

badp

@Pubby If we can fix it we should fix it. I'm looking at [ps2] and thinking why it's [ps2] and not [playstation-2]

@MarkTrapp None of these except for PC are ambiguous

Ronan Forman

So what are we arguing?

badp

10:54

well XBox perhaps

user2334

@badp Mac isn't ambiguous. It means precisely one thing.

badp

@RonanForman [mac] vs [os-x]

@MarkTrapp So why are there two different tags, equally popular, in SU for Mac and OS X?

Ronan Forman

@Mark he didn't say it was. I think.

badp

(notice the OS X tag is named 'osx' btw)

Heh, half of these questions have both tags

Ronan Forman

Okay maybe he did.

user2334

@badp 2013 of the 4699 questions tagged [mac] are also tagged [osx]. They clearly have a problem. But I'm not talking about Super User: they can deal with their own problems. I'm talking about the one site I actually give a damn about

feature-request status-completed tags

user2334

@RonanForman Because badp's insisting [pc] refers to Mac, Windows, and PC, despite popular usage and usage on Gaming.SE

Ronan Forman

So are we basically deciding which way to make the synonym?

user2334

@RonanForman Originally, the tag was osx, which isn't something that actually exists. I've requested it to be either os-x, which is the name of the operating system, or mac, which is the name of the platform, with my strong preference towards the latter to match our usage of platform tags for everything else

badp

10:59

I just wish Apple would release OS X + 1, that would make things much easier

user2334

It wouldn't change a thing. The platform would still be Mac.

Ronan Forman

But surely the thing that decides what platform a game will run on is the OS, not the platform.

badp

@MarkTrapp It's branded like that but it's not. You can't build for Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X any longer.

Ronan Forman

I could put Linux on a PS3, it won't be able to run PS3 games, regardless of whether it's a PS3 or not.

badp

For all development purposes, as you've argued before, "Mac ==== OS X"

everything else doesn't matter right?

Ronan Forman

11:02

Does anyone know what OS a PS3 uses?

badp

so why does it matter if we use one or the other? Specifically the one that gets us the better tagging scheme?

@RonanForman I don't think it's got a specific public name

oh it's "XrossMediaBar 4"

XrossMediaBar

The XrossMediaBar (pronounced cross-media bar and officially abbreviated as XMB) is a graphical user interface developed by Sony Computer Entertainment. The interface features icons that are spread horizontally across the screen. Navigation moves the icons, instead of a cursor. These icons are used as categories to organize the options available to the user. When an icon is selected on the horizontal bar, several more appear vertically, above and below it (selectable by the up and down directions on a directional pad). Originally used on the PSX, the XMB is used as the default interface ...

user2334

@badp Just like you can't build for Windows 9x any longer. Or rather, you can build for any of those operating systems, but nobody will actually be using them.

badp

@MarkTrapp you can still build for Windows XP or Vista or 7 or 8... where are we going here anyway?

I think I'm losing track of the main point here

Pubby

@badp That doesn't look like the OS though, just the GUI

Ronan Forman

Similarly if I buy a mac and put windows 7 on it, it's still a mac, but if I wanted to ask questions about it I'd be using the windows tag, not mac

badp

11:05

@Pubby It's listed as "Operative System" in the sidebar of the PS3 thing.

Pubby

This is too:

PlayStation 3 system software

The PlayStation 3 system software is the updateable software and operating system of the PlayStation 3. The process of updating is almost identical to that of the PSP. Each update includes all previous update data (except for features that have been reported to be removed). The software may be updated by downloading the update directly on the PlayStation 3, downloading it from the user's local Official PlayStation website to a PC and using a USB storage device to transfer it to the PlayStation 3, or installing the update from game discs containing update data. The native operating system...

badp

@RonanForman Well you'd use both I guess if there was a mac-only piece of hardware in the mac that was relevant gaming-wise; I can only think of the USB ports that can change from 5V to 10V when an iPad is connected however and that's very hardly relevant for Gaming. That or Firewire... also irrelevant.

user2334

@badp The point is the fact that Mac OS classic exists or there might be a backwards-incompatible version in the future is a red herring, as we don't seem to have any trouble dealing with Windows, which had exactly the same type of backwards-incompatible shift from Windows 9x to the Windows NT family of operating systems, which includes Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Both Mac and Windows employed compatibility layers to allow people to transition over to the new system.

Everyone in The Bridge is awesome.

@YiJiang but man, it has a forum, has a way of contacting the owner, relates to two games and makes joining the servers for them much more entertaining.

@badp What? Where could I find such an awesome site?

such a thing is a myth and/or a legend.

Q: Are you playing Diablo 3? Why don't you play with us?

Blah blah blah enormously hyped, blah blah persistant multiplayer yadda yadda battletag and built in chat client, I'm not going to bother boring you with things you already know. Instead, I'm just gonna put it out there: If you're going to be playing Diablo 3, and would like to play or chat wit...

Quick vocab question:

If I want to describe a weapon as one-handed or two-handed, what term am I using to refer to the number of hands required to use it?

Yi Jiang

@Mana handedness?

Mana

(ignoring cases for four hands, eight hands, sixteen hands...etc)

CruelCow

handiness!

Ivo Flipse

@Mana uni-hand, bi-hand :P

there's also off-hand, perhaps you have to take that into consideration as well

Mana

14:32

Handedness it is.

Q: If people can see through my clothes, will I be Color Coordinated?

One of the Diablo 3 "exploration" achievements is Color Coordinated: Equip your head, shoulders, torso, legs, feet, and hands slots with items dyed the same color. I don't particularly care for any of the dyes available, so I'm considering using Vanishing Dye to get this achievement: Re...

People seem to downvote posts alot here on gaming.stackexchange. On SO, usually when a downvote is given, a reason is supplied. If you are going to downvote someone's post, please provide that person with feedback as to why their post was downvoted, and how it could be improved. — emg 26 secs ago

I lol'd at that

Although I agree providing a reason is good, I'd hardly so we down vote a lot of posts here.

We don't down vote enough.

Q: How are attributes spread in each specific class?

Every class gets a certain amount of points per level up. How are these points distributed in each of the five classes?

diablo-3

@IvoFlipse It's a dup anyways.

Ivo Flipse

Well that's assuming the spread does the 'optimal' thing

Wipqozn

Although the only answer there is terrible

@agent86 I am terrified of the ravages that will result from this image

spugsley

@agent86 .......words......have none.....can't....even

@IanPugsley I am raging so hard right now but it's all internal because as @agent86 put it "I werkin". When I get home....you don't even know.

agent86

rut row, didn't mean to get @IanPugsley thrashed :/

@agent86 if you guys don't hear from me in here by at least tomorrow, call the police...

:P

spugsley

@agent86 let me put it this way: I will find where you live. I will spend the next 20 years compiling a list of everything you that scares you. Then, I will put all of those things in a bucket, show up at your house in a clever disguise, and dump the scary bucket over your head

Tim Stone

@IanPugsley Quickly, build a defensive wall of babies!

Ian Pugsley

@spugsley how are you going to put "Dying of old age" in a bucket? :P

agent86

@spugsley :O

well, I'm secretly afraid of large, non-sequential, unmarked bills. They absolutely terrify me

spugsley

@IanPugsley I can, and I will

@agent86 don't patronize me. You're in enough trouble already, mister

agent86

14:51

@spugsley since this is the internet, and I can't tell, if it really bothers you I will remove it :)

spugsley

@agent86 don't. I enjoy that it fuels my rage.

gives me a reason to fuck up all the shit in Diablo 3

but seriously. I hate Dolan. Dolan is the stupidest piece of stupid I've ever seen in my stupid life. I will throw all the tantrums and it's STUPID

like I fantastize about meeting the asshole who created Dolan irl so that I can make fart noises into his face for the rest of his life.

he will hate me so much and it still won't even be close to how much I hate Dolan

okay, I'm done

agent86

I don't find it particularly clever, but it makes for some interesting conversations here ;)

Q: Is a tank required for groups to be successful?

My friends and starting to play Diablo 3 and are deciding which class each of us wants to be. One thing factoring into our decision is if one of us will need to be a tank for us to be successful. Will one of our players need to play the role of a tank, taking most of the hits for the team for u...
