1:04 PM
seems like a legit question, tbh... a little poorly worded, perhaps, but trainers are pretty common single-player cheat programs
 
If there's one thing I've learned from this site, it's that the exact wording of everything you say is crucial.
 
I used a trainer on the first witcher game, cause that game was freakin' hard.
 
I used a trainer in Rollercoaster Tycoon for infinite money :P
 
I'd use one on the second, too, if it were possible to do so on a console :/
 
Oh people
> It is clearly a question
Yes, that's why it was closed.
 
1:06 PM
I voted to reopen!
 
ugh, is it naptime yet?
 
Crashes through learning to program on his calculator
 
fredy, how many... wait, ronan? THIS IS WHY WE CANT HAVE NICE THINGS
 
you guys, always crashing through things
the bridge repair bills are through the roof!
 
1:15 PM
I've made a infinite loop! Broken calculator go!
Dammit! There's a break button. :(

@OrigamiRobot I don't think they are dupes, and I think it's very unfortunately the 2nd was closed as a dupe.
While the reason for both questions is the same, the older one is very specific about asking how to mute. The newer one is directly about the bot spam problem.
And it also got a far more comprehensive answer

I think we only need one question about Diablo 2 spam bots
 
Oak
The oldest one is not about spam bots, imo
It was just the reason for it
 
It is
 
Oak
1:17 PM
But it's only asking how to mute
 
Because at the time muting was the only option. Begging the question.
 
Oak
Begging the question?
Also, if anything, I think a merge is more appropriate than a closure
 
The problem the user wanted to solve was spam bots. He suggested the answer in the question.
 
@Oak I suggested a merge like 5 days ago.
 
Now to try and stack overflow this thing.
 
Oak
1:19 PM
@OrigamiRobot agreed. If he didn't, maybe they were more close
Just read the two questions again, and I still don't think they're dupes. Just similar.
 
Merge/Dupe whichever.
May 2 at 11:16, by OrigamiRobot
They are both essentially "How do I deal with spammers?"
 
It should be able handle the 54 variables so I doubt it.
 
Oak
I think the first is "spammers annoy me, how can I mute a player?" and the second is "spammers annoy me, how can I solve it?". If anything, we can edit our the part about spammers in the older question and it will remain the same.
 
The first is "Spammer annoy me. How can I mute them?" Which was the only option at the time.
We don't need two questions about spammers in a 12 year old game.
 
@Oak merge then?
 
Oak
1:28 PM
@badp that's my opinion. I personally think the newest question has an excellent title and body, better than the older one for SEO. But the older one has two good answers
 
May 2 at 11:23, by OrigamiRobot
I don't care what methods are used, I just think we only need one question. Close as dupe is the only method I know of for that, so that's what I said.
That's why I asked for other people's opinions instead of demanding it was a dupe.
 
Oak
@badp on the other hand, merging should usually be newest into oldest
 
Yay Necromancer badge :P
 
so I found myself watching the TAS for NES Splatter House Wanpaku Graffiti.
 
Oak
@OrigamiRobot you welcome (my upvote) :)
@badp you okay with a merge? I think it has rep ramifications so I want to be careful...
 
1:35 PM
This whole thing came about when I stumbled on the old question and thought "Hey nobody said anything about the new filter options. I proceeded to answer and then sean commented asking which ignorelist I recommended and pointed me to the newer question.
I think the new question can be 100% covered by the old question.
 
@Oak Only "rep ramification" I can think of is accepts...

Q: Prevent second monitor to "move" while in fullscreen games

SvishI have two monitors. Sometimes I like to watch a movie or have a webpage or manual up on the second why I play a game on the primary. Problem is that when I start some games, the content of the second monitor seems to be pushed around. It's very annoying. Doesn't happen in all games and I can't ...

 
How have you been @Mana?
 
@Wipqozn Oh, pretty well. Just getting all my marks back now.
 
"marks"
How quaint.
 
1:58 PM
@Mana Good, good. I'm only waiting on one mine now. It takes so long to get the damng things.
Of course the one mark I'm waiting on is the one mark I'm worred about. I did really well on the assignments, but I'm concerned about the final exam.
The proffessor is one of those profs whose finals are nothing like the assignments, and they don't prepare you for the final in any way what so ever.
So you just go in hoping you've studied (see also: memorized) the correct things.
 
"study"
How quaint.
 
Oak
@badp isn't the merge-from question asker loses the question rep?
 
@StrixVaria LOL at the Tomb Raider one.
 
I would eat that cupcake.
 
2:05 PM
heeheehee. It's funny because it's so obvious.
 
@GnomeSlice Most of them are.
I hate most of those things, because they are so obvious. It's just stupid.
 
@Wipqozn They're either too obvious or impossibly difficult.
 
I don't expect much anything. Just meant to grab clicks.
I'm assuming the games are just made up of images stolen from the internet.
 
The highlight of my Sporcle career was naming all 151 first gen pokemon within the time limit.
 
There, that one should be fixed.
 
2:10 PM
Watching a D2 speed run (necromancer!) and I forgot that rescuing Cain is optional. I feel ashamed.
 
@GnomeSlice My word. I'll need to unzip that and everything if I want to listen to it?
That's far too much work.
Feel free to upload it go Newgrounds or something.
 
@Wipqozn This is also why I didn't listen to it.
 
@Wipqozn Nope
I about doubled the length of the original one.
Raven actually needs all of the files to put into the game, which is why I zipped them for him.
 
Butterscotch, yo!
 
@StrixVaria I love the voting system.
 
2:14 PM
@StrixVaria I only missed reversi :(
 
I've only ever heard it called Othello.
Up until I played that Sporcle game.
 
I thought it was Go
 
@OrigamiRobot Lol
 
What? It's white and black circles on a grid
Looks like Go to me
 
@OrigamiRobot A green grid.
Go grids are brownish-orange.
 
Yea, I know that insignificant detail.
 
Oh boy I can't wait to play the sequel

Q: Is there any way to calculate or estimate DPS?

EBongoComing back to the game after a long time, I see the damage range of weapons, and the fact that they have different attack speeds. Based on my experience with other games, it is easier for me to compare how good weapons are based on damage per second (DPS). Some simple assumption, like that I h...

 
The way to tell the difference between Go and Reversi is whether or not the pieces of on the line interactions, or the squares themselves.
Othello / Reversi :
Go:
 
2:20 PM
Looks the same to me.
 
@OrigamiRobot The go pieces are on the line intersections. the Othello ones are on teh squares.
@Wipqozn made a typo.
 
@Wipqozn said "interactions" :/
 
And he said 'of' and not 'on'.
 
I was just testing you all.
@GnomeSlice passed. The rest of you failed.
 
I never fail.
 
2:23 PM
Watching this D2 speed run reminds me how stupid D2 speed runs are.
They eliminate the randomness by generating tons of maps and picking the most advantageous one and memorizing it.
Then restarting in many segments until they get it right.
D3 speed runs will be much more entertaining.
 
@StrixVaria dot dot dot
 
@OrigamiRobot Starting every segment by jumping to the stony field and grabbing an experience shrine is pretty lame.
 
@Wipqozn wat
 
@Mana Sorry, but you failed too.
If you ask really nicely perhaps @GnomeSlice will tutor you.
 
...
 
2:27 PM
Well, I need to go shower now.
 
@Wipqozn Good luck.
 
You're all welcome to fantasize about me. I know I will.
 
Have fun being naked.
 
@Mana I always do.
 
@Mana Robots are always naked.
 
2:29 PM
................................................................................‌​............................................
IKEA even sells flat baskets that you have to assemble. Wow. My mother just enlisted me to build hers.
 
@OrigamiRobot Unless you're wearing one of your many costumes.
 
@Ullallulloo What costumes? You must be thinking of someone else.
 
@OrigamiRobot Dog costume?
 
@StrixVaria I don't have a dog costume. You're mistaking me for someone else.
 
2:44 PM
Climb to the top of the Castle! is now FREE! Everyone play it!
 
@GnomeSlice Tried to get it before and the page was just hanging for like 5 minutes.
I gave up.
 
@StrixVaria I had no trouble.
 
@GnomeSlice Do you even understand the consequences of having 6.5 billion people playing the exact same game at once?
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, Indievania is operated solely by Alientrap games, it's got some trouble handling traffic some times.
 
2:46 PM
@OrigamiRobot badp, obviously.
 
@Mana We have 6.5 billion users!?
:o
Wait, no, that can't be right.
 
@GnomeSlice :o)
 
@Mana It's always badp
@Mana That looks like a surprised man with a double chin.

Q: What are the differences between Firetop Mountain and Warlocks?

YaztromoAs part of this previous question I learned that Warlocks is another version of Firetop Mountain, but it's not perfectly the same. The most evident difference is that Firetop Mountain is a play-by-email game, while Warlocks is played on line, through an interface screen. There are also some small...

 
@Mana But what are you actually talking about?
 
2:52 PM
@GnomeSlice Do you have some sort of stake in this game or something?
Like you'll get free cup cakes if it hits 1 millions DLs or something?
 
@Wipqozn I just liked it. I said I was going to keep posting it until someone showed some interest.
 
GODDAMMIT TWO FUCKING ENGINEERS BOTH SPAMMING POMSON ON THE POINT WITH MINISENTRIES AND SHIT AND ONE LEVEL ONE TELEPORTER WARGARBL TF2 DRIVES ME EVER SO SLIGHLY MAD.
 
@badp Warrgarbl*
also, 'slighly'.
But I guess that's forgivable if you've gone a bit mad.
 
@GnomeSlice I know, which is what I find odd. Since it's already in the starred list.
 
@Wipqozn No it's not. Someone though they'd be clever and star the message just before the actual link.

Well, I'm out. I might see you wonderful people for now.

Oh my god this is hilarious.
WATCH IT WITH ME, BRIDGE PEOPLE.
 
@Mana lmao, brilliant
 
@TimStone Tim!
I haven't talked to you in a while. How's work and stuff?
 
Mana! Oh man...
Work and stuff is tiring, so tiring. I also had computer trouble for a little bit.
 
eugh.
 
Trying to get caught up on my backlog of five million things I've been meaning to do now...Data Explorer stuff, election site stuff, gaming and Gaming stuff. On the whole though, things are pretty good at the moment. How about with you?
 
3:25 PM
@TimStone Yeah, pretty good as well. Messing around with XNA a lot to try and prepare for the upcoming TOJam game development competition in Toronto next weekend.
back in Ottawa for the week...a bit lonely here.
Ah well.
 
Oh, nice! Good luck with the competition. :D
 
@TimStone Thanks! I'm really inexperienced so I don't think I have any shot of doing well but I want to give it a good try.
 
You never know. Plus the experience is what it's all about anyway, doing something new and challenging. Will we get to play whatever you make? I've already used up a few hours (or more) with Raven Dreamer's game, heh.
 
@TimStone I'll upload it after the competition is done.
 
Cool
 
3:40 PM
Calling all @GnomeSlice

user5335I (mostly) figured out the numbering system, and figured out the bell level; it doesn't have any icons beside it anymore, but it's still not turning gold. Why not?

There were only three...

I think I need to lie down. My mind has been thoroughly blown.
 
That's nothing. Just wait till you are able to run Crysis on max settings in Minecraft.

now we need minecraft in minecraft in minecraft.

Q: Which weapons are considered "upgrades" in TF2?

Jimmy ChenI've been looking for weapons that are upgrades from the default weapons in TF2. Ex. Third Degree. It's techinically an upgrade since there are no downsides and it hits players via Medigun beams. Are there any other weapons like this?

 
@fredley omg!
 
@agent86 Quite!
 
or I could just get a second job working for minimum wage at McDonalds, which pays better than virtually every internet get-rich-quick scheme.
but, y'know, work

He then got suspended for vandalizing posts

Only for layout. Using tables to display tabular data is fine. :P
 
@Ender It's like comparing a 2007 Mercedes S-class with a 2010 Ford Fiesta. The Fiesta may be better in some respects (efficiency, a newer gadget here or there), but the Merc is still a way better car overall. — Nick T 7 mins ago

Q: Can't launch Spore Galactic Adventures in Ubuntu 12.04

LiquidPLI have installed Spore and Galactic Adventures in Ubuntu 12.04 using wine-1.4, but when I try to launch GA, normal game launches. Is there any way to fix it?

 
@Brant there were a bunch of things that led up to a month suspension for him, but it generally just boils down to he didn't want to be here, and he'd prefer to troll instead.
 
Gotta love those people. "I only did this one little thing and I'm being punished! Mod abuse! Mod abuse!"
 
5:15 PM
@Brant I call it 'psycho-ex-girlfriend' syndrome. They go from "I hate this place and it sucks" to "I am going to spend all my time trying to figure out how I can break the rules and/or cause trouble" when you say "GTFO"

right in the middle of a big game giveaway, too. "here, have some free games!!!" "nah, I'd rather be a douche."
fun trolling people on the internet > fun playing free video games
anyhow, now you know.
 
@RavenDreamer Oh, i thought you meant 'in the folder you just sent me'.
 
5:20 PM
speaking of video games, USPS needs to hurry up already
I should have been GoW'ing like 2 days ago
 
Oh, also: I feel obligated to point out that Tribes: Ascend is awesome and that everyone should give it a try because it's totally free. (If you click this link I get a couple virtual shinies, but I don't really care about those, it's genuinely an awesome game.)
 
@RavenDreamer @GnomeSlice If you didn't see, Chime is 75% off, and you both wanted it.
puts up anti-french-canadian shields
 
@Ullallulloo Ah, cool, but my paypal is basically empty.
$1.13 Can
 
@GnomeSlice 12 cents short
 
That's Canadian though.
 
5:24 PM
@GnomeSlice so...13 cents short?
 
@RavenDreamer Do you have Audacity?
@Ullallulloo Also, you should play Climb to the top of the Castle
 
@GnomeSlice I downloaded it a couple of days ago, I'll try it out today.
 
Also, speaking of Chime, there's a really neat (and free) game out there called Primrose. It's not really a similar game at all, but it has a similar visual style.
 
@Brant yes, but the fps maaan :(
 
Oak
@badp btw thought about it some more and I guess we can do without merging
 
5:29 PM
@Ullallulloo Do you have 'Defense Grid: the Awakening'?
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, got it in a bundle.
I don't need the DLC. :P
 
@Oak I was surprised for a moment you were still thinking about it, then I realized you're a tree. Thinking's all you do.
 
Ah. Was going to offer you it in exchange for Chime.
 
Well that and moderatering.
 
I got it in a bundle as well, but I already owned it.
 
5:31 PM
@GnomeSlice Yeah, whY?
 
@RavenDreamer Try looping that new one in audacity.
 
Oak
@badp Yes, can't move about much with my roots and all. Anyway I'm fine with leaving it as dupe, I think.
 
@GnomeSlice I've already got it in the game. It loops fine.
 
Oak
Just in case you or @OrigamiRobot were wondering
 
Oh, excellent.
 
5:32 PM
How scary is that?
You're in an iOS game, Gnome!
Now if only our art guy could get things to us as of several weeks ago...
 
and your developer's yearly license is about to expire!
 
@GnomeSlice I'll just buy it for you. It's not that much.
 
@RavenDreamer You picked the wrong art guy,
 
@Ullallulloo What about 'Tobe's Vertical Adventure'?
 
@RonanForman We didn't get to pick the art guy, and he's the son of the founder of our sponsor company.
 
5:35 PM
@RavenDreamer Oh by the way. I'm allowed to sell the soundtrack separately, yes? I realize I didn't exactly write up a license agreement about the music...
 
@GnomeSlice nah, I'm fine. I'm not too good at platformers, anyway.
 
@RavenDreamer Ouch.
 
@GnomeSlice I'll double-check on Tuesday. But remember, you only made half the music in the game, so not sure how accurate "soundtrack" is.
 
@RavenDreamer Yeah, I know. I'd just use my own, of course.
I only really like two of the tracks I did anyway.
 
@RavenDreamer How do the sponsor company get money from this?
 
5:38 PM
The credits one is terrible, and the game over one is... meh.
 
@GnomeSlice You sell yourself short young Gnomeslice
 
@RonanForman Have you heard those two?
The credits one... I shouldn't have even done, I didn't spend much time on it at all. And if I was going to do chiptune, I should have made all of the music chiptune, not just two of them.
 
I think so, and I don't remember any of the ones you showed me were bad.

Q: Should we support tech support questions for games on alternative (unsupported) operating systems?

yx.There are a lot of Linux and (specifically Ubuntu) questions mostly asked about games that were never meant to be supported on Linux. Most of these are done using Wine. Naturally a lot of issues arise when someone attempts to play games using that setup. Are these questions worth keeping since...

Q: What does Luck do?

lunboksSome clothes in the Brick-Force shop have stat boosts, like more XP, more Points, and more… Luck. The standard issue helmet has a Luck +2% bonus, for example. Do I get any benefits from being more lucky? Does the Luck stat actually do anything?

 
5:45 PM
@RonanForman They're not paying us. They're only loaning us some equipment and acting as mentors.
 
@GnomeSlice It's maybe not quite as good as the others then, but it's by no means bad.
@RavenDreamer What do they get out of it?
 
@fredley Wow, edit spree!
 
@GnomeSlice 497 edits (99% done).
 
@RonanForman You should hear the other guy's. :P

Weird that Newgrounds still says my most popular track of 2012 is the RunLoop(Short) one, when the new lengthened one has a higher score. It probably factors in number of votes as well.
