@Fluttershy Isn't it the same as the PS3 though?

agent86

@GraceNote this is as accurate as can be expected.

Fluttershy

Though... hm... It also released on PSN, maybe we need something better than terraria-xbox

But the default terraria won't work, as the console editions are different.

And tagging it with terraria and a console tag isn't gonna work either...

Ullallulloo

@Fluttershy terraria-console, maybe?

I should make a meta post.

Wipqozn

@GraceNote Sorry, but that's an incorrect translation.\

Grace Note

19:31

Is the difference between the console versions and the PC version a "This is basically a different game, it has the same name", or "This has some differences in features, updated graphics, and other kits and kiboodles"?

Wipqozn

Let me fix that.

Ullallulloo

@GraceNote The console version got a lot of new features

@Ullallulloo Then I'd just use terraria followed by the console tag in question when speaking of those features.

Ben Brocka

@Fluttershy there'll soon be one on Vita too. Not sure if there are actually any substantial differences beyond the controls and online features

Grace Note

Similar to how we handle spelunky.

@Wipqozn Sorry, you didn't do it. You failed miserably.

Fluttershy

Alls I know is the console versions supposedly have a ton of stuff that the PC version doesn't have, and may never get.

Ben Brocka

19:33

@Fluttershy really? Huh

Grace Note

@Fluttershy The heart of the game, though remains the same, though, right? Like Spelunky versus its XBLA release?

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka Yep. Caused a bit of a stir among the PC fans.

@GraceNote I can't comment on the comparison. I have zero experience with Spelunky.

Ullallulloo

@GraceNote I don't know. I don't have it.

Fluttershy

And I'm not far enough in to tell. I do know it has pretty different mechanics, though.

Ullallulloo

It was rebuilt from scratch, but I would think they'd keep the basic concept the same.

Wipqozn

19:36

@GraceNote The joke was that @agent86 isn't observant enough to know I'm a Tortoise.

Grace Note

@Wipqozn Which you failed. Miserably.

For the Spelunky point. The vast majority of the game is still the same actual game. The XBLA release retooled some mechanics (Damsels aren't invincible, gambling parlor doesn't use Dice, alien doesn't guard guaranteed jetpack anymore, etc.), added completely new sections and items, and nixed the old challenge room unlocks in exchange for a bunch of other things instead.

Whether you're playing one version or the other, you're still playing Spelunky and a good many questions probably won't differ, if much at all, between the versions. Despite the grand scale to which things were changed in Spelunky, it still fits in the same tag, just with a secondary tag qualifier to note when it is specific to that version.

agent86

@Wipqozn tuuuurd-l

Fluttershy

But wouldn't tagging it terraria xbox360 (or whichever console) go against how we want our console tags used?

Wipqozn

Ben Brocka

@Fluttershy I thought tagging consoles where relevant was like...the only way we want our console tags used

Grace Note

19:39

@Fluttershy It seems to go precisely with how we use platform tags, unless it changed from "When talking about the platform in question, or talking about something that is specific to that platform version of the game".

Fluttershy

I always thought console tags were only for questions about a specific console, not a game specific to that console. I guess I was mistaken.

Grace Note

What we don't do is "Add platforms to games that are only on one platform" and "Add platforms when the question isn't platform specific".

agent86

@GraceNote it changed to something equally nonsensical, if I recall

Grace Note

@agent86 This doesn't strike me as non-sensical.

Grace Note

@agent86 Why do you feel the platform tag system is nonsensical?

You shouldn't silence yourself like that.

Fluttershy

Also, should we reconsider the use of minecraft-xbox or minecraft-pe? They're still the same core game as Minecraft, just with fewer/different features.

agent86

@GraceNote not just platform tags; tags in general. I gave up trying to organize anything with tags. if the tags on the question seem reasonably legit, I shrug and move on.

@Fluttershy np, I've not a clue what makes sense in this situation, but I can dig out meta threads that might be relevant...

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria Redigit hinted that he might work on a new update for the PC version. 505 Studios ported it to XBLA and PSN.

agent86

@StrixVaria they ported it to consoles, with some enhancements. I don't believe the PC version is getting the updates...

Fluttershy

@agent86 It's like @Ullallulloo mentioned in the meta post. If the PC does get updated, it's possible, and very likely, that they won't have anything to do with the newer features in the console versions.

agent86

@Fluttershy not really familiar with the specifics, just know the broad strokes. Kind of tempted to buy it for Xbox if I could get an Xbox crew together to play. Also, don't know what the dedicated server situation is, that's been a bummer in my totalminer expeditions to-date

Grace Note

Quick, @LessPop, I need you to destroy me here with a competing and ultimately better answer.

agent86

@BenBrocka well, I think we've kind of grown to expect a certain level of post-launch support from game companies, with the rise of indies I expect we're going to see at least some who go "meh, it's done enough" and they don't care about post-launch support so much

LessPop_MoreFizz

@agent86 The important corollary is that if two games with the same name are so substantially different that calling it a 'port' would be inappropriate: See, the various Minecrafts for example, then it makes sense to have a distinct tag for the platform-specific version of the game, such as terraria-xbox or whatever oddball name they come up with.

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz That's not what was meant by the terraria-console, if that's what you're referring to. The differences between the PC version of Terraria and the console versions are, from my understanding, fairly significant. I made the terraria-xbox tag upon forgetting that it was also released on PSN. We don't need a separate tag for both platforms, but I do feel there is a need for the PC version and the console versions to have separate tags. I'm just not sure what they should be.

badp

Admittedly I haven't tried those services in a convention setting, or at all, so my skepticism isn't backed up by data

Coronus

Is there Terraria on PSN?

Fluttershy

20:08

@Coronus Yes.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy No, I know it isn't. But my point is that the inclusion of extra content or a few added features should not necessitate a new tag. A good metric for whether you need a new tag is if the same question will get wildly different, and fundamentally incompatible answers depending on the platform.

badp

still... wifi doesn't carry any location data other than the MAC addresses your antenna can receive and maybe signal strength, which is probably enough to triangulate your position - but, yknow, that's still not GPS.

LessPop_MoreFizz

It's not enough that the console version has more stuff, what's important is that the existing stuff works in a fundamentally different way.

Coronus

@Fluttershy Why did no one tell me this before I bought 4 copies for my family?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp You don't know much about the sort of backbone work most of the mobile device companies have done in terms of wi-fi location stuff, do you?

@Coronus Because you don't keep up with the news? :P

Grace Note

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'd include that "wildly and fundamentally different" should be "Each game would have a full length answer that is separate", and not for example "In this version, you have a full length answer. In the other version, it just doesn't exist."

Skyhook Wireless (formerly known as Quarterscope) is a Boston-based company that developed Wi-Fi positioning system technology for determining geographical location. Using the MAC addresses of nearby wireless access points and proprietary algorithms, Skyhook's Wi-Fi Positioning System WPS can determine the position of a mobile device within 10–20 meters. It provides service similar to GPS without GPS hardware and can also integrate with GPS-enabled devices to provide hybrid positioning.

@Fluttershy Awesome. Thanks. I'll have to check it out and see if it does cross-platform.

Fluttershy

@Coronus I don't believe it does.

Mostly because the console versions have things that aren't in, and probably will never be in, the PC version.

LessPop_MoreFizz

20:12

@badp The point is that the MAC data is cross referenced against your GPS position and a database that associates MAC addresses with specific locations to bring the GPS accuracy to within 10 meters - even indoors or in dense urban canyons, where GPS alone normally becomes unreliable.

FEichinger

@Coronus Nope.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy But that doesn't necessitate a new tag. Another easy way to think of it: If you look at all of our existing Terraria questions, are the answers to any of them inherently wrong on the new platforms?

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz It doesn't bring GPS accuracy, it doesn't need GPS data, it isn't GPS. Unless you're talking about GPS in broader terms than "talk to satellites in space to find out where you are"

I would actually expect wifi-based locationing to be somewhat more accurate than GPS.

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't have an answer for that yet. But, by this logic, we can just as easily do away with minecraft-xbox. The Xbox version is still Minecraft, it's just an earlier version of Minecraft.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, I've installed FreeGish from apt-get without errors, but when I run it I get a segmentation fault. I've also tried to compile it manually (both repo and git versions), but the segfault was still here. So please, help me!

Q: Was Bioshock Infinite released unfinished?

Call me crazy, but I feel that due to some scripted sequences and other details, Bioshock Infinite was released prematurely and no alternate endings are not the way it was supposed to be. No choices you make on the game have any effect on the ending. It doesn't matter what you do. You may get so...

Fluttershy

@kalina The question, or your terrible comment?

kalina

I am probably just high from cleaning products

teeone

kalina

it's too late, it's gone, it's over - never to be repeated again </drama>

Coronus

@kalina I didn't get to see your comment. :(

22:41

@kalina \o/

Fluttershy

@Coronus It was something along the lines of, "Hey, I just met you, and you're crazy. This is off-topic, so try chat maybe?"

@kalina see also: ^

teeone

it even had links in it and everything

badp

@Fluttershy How many months should that be worth? I'm thinking four

Ullallulloo

@Fluttershy wow

Fluttershy

@badp I say one. Let her come back on the same day @GnomeSlice does. =P

Q: How do I pick up these lock picks?

Without getting into anything too spoilerific, I've made it to a point in the game that I am trying to find a tear in the Columbia Bank. Convieniently, I've also already found the code book I need for the encrypted message near the back of the bank, so the spoils are practically handed to me! As...

Q: Do enemies regenerate health?

Later levels in Nimble Quest have enemies that require a few attacks to kill. Occasionally I'll find myself chasing after higher priority monsters in the middle of a fight with other less tasty monsters. These monsters often leave the side of the screen with half health and it seems like sometime...

Q: Resident Evil 6 (PC): Tank always overruns me as Jake

I'm constantly getting overrun by the tank in Chapter 3 after I fall through the floor and the tank smashes the door. It doesn't give me time to react at all, I tried going forward according to the camera angle ("S" key) and forward according to the player's perspective ("W" key), while sprinting...

kalina

I don't deserve banning for that

badp

wait no because that won't sync up with Gnome's chat return

which is in... 4 months I think?

kalina

he told us to call him crazy

Ullallulloo

@kalina That's what Gnome said too.

kalina

22:44

besides, banning me is only punishing yourself

badp

Oh whatever I'll put in a few nines and when the day's right I'll just unban. EZY PZY

Fluttershy

@kalina Only because we'd have to deal with the ensuing Meta post! =P

kalina

@Fluttershy that too, but I do so much reviewing and flagging, all that extra work for everybody else...

Ullallulloo

@Fluttershy Can't post metas if you're banned.

@kalina Free valid flags for the rest of us, you say?

badp

btw I see you didn't go through with your further renaming plans

kalina

22:45

@Ullallulloo yes

badp

@Ullallulloo psssst flag weight doesn't exist anymore

Raven Dreamer

Caps lock is the mind@#$* of password entering.

kalina

@badp I am, I just haven't decided what to call myself this time

Fluttershy

@RavenDreamer THAT'S WHY YOU MAKE YOUR PASSWORDS ALL CAPS TOO! NO ONE WOULD EVER THINK OF THAT!

badp

You know who else was a fallen angel? Satan.

Ullallulloo

22:46

@badp whatever

kalina

@badp so?

badp

Food for thought.

Raven Dreamer

@Fluttershy I ENTER CAPITALS WITH SHIFT. SHIFT + CAPSLOCK = lower case

Lasciel.

badp

I see Raven now also is using Autocad

What have you started, @OrigamiRobot. What have you started?

Fluttershy

@badp @FAE?

Raven Dreamer

22:47

@Fluttershy No. She was only part of a fallen angel.

badp

@Fluttershy She's the eyes portion of a fallen angel.

Raven Dreamer

Hell, maybe her name is actually 'Satan's Eyes'

Och, no pun intended.

Coronus

@badp Where's... the rest?

badp

@Coronus Why are you asking me?

kalina

I think SimCity bought more new users to the site that HotS did

badp

22:50

That's likely. The site has seen better promos.

teeone

i came here because I googled a SimCity question...and the information across the web about SimCity completely sucks

they did a horrible job of communicating what's going on behind the scenes

badp

@RavenDreamer I... still don't see the pun.

kalina

@teeone yes it does, which is good for us

kalina

23:03

That's it! I'm doing it!

starts up Mass Effect

exits Mass Effect

no window mode -.-

teeone

i want windowed borderless for simcity!

Powerlord

The ability to bump your own trade on TF2 Outpost is just stupid.

People bump their Unusual trading threads about once every 5 minutes

Raven Dreamer

@badp Hell. Satan.

badp

@RavenDreamer Eyes?

Raven Dreamer

What is the first word of that sentence.

In which I mention Satan?

I didn't say it was a strong pun :P

badp

23:18

oh. okay. I still don't see why you'd apologize for it.

Raven Dreamer

Perhaps I'm part Canadian.

Q: How does the Space Center work?

What's the cost to construct and operate the Space Center? What are the benefits and how do they work? How does it increase the "tech level" of nearby buildings? The information across the web is very sparse on the Space Center so I'm asking this question in hopes for increased community knowled...

@kalina Frostbite 3 looks amazing. It's capable of at least four shades of brown.
