Previously, review was available for those with 125 reputation or above. The reasoning seemed to be that 125 was enough to downvote, which is the last of the possible review actions (downvote, upvote, edit, comment, flag) that a user can receive. What's the new reasoning for 500 reputation? Is...

Quick question (might be more worth a meta post, but I dunno if we already have a policy, so figured I'd ask here first): what should be done with gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/120679 ? Minecraft no longer even has such a thing as a /bin/ folder. I feel like it ought to be a duplicate of gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/122246 since the main use of the bin folder is modding, but I'm not entirely sure.

badp

so a large spider climbed onto my hanging trousers

They were dark and I tried to peacefully and harmlessly take him in a white piece of toilt paper so understandably he saw what was going on and wanted to have none of it and climbed his way into the inside of the trousers

I... just hanged my trousers outside then, waiting for him to get bored and leave of his own accord

how do you think that'll work out for me :P

user20683

He will be a she, have a brood and you'll have a web containing a horde of baby spiders in your pants.

@spugsley That you're a spider?

badp

In the end, I picked the trousers back, kind of flattened them to make sure he wasn't in it anymore, flipped them inside out, find out it was still there and retreating in the new inside, threw the trousers on the ground and flattened around him so he couldn't go back inside again

spugsley

4:58 PM

@RonanForman yes. I have dark magic apparently. Spiders seemed fitting

When he went for the edge of the trousers again I just shaked that and that was finally enough to let him outside, alive and well and out of my trousers

I'm honestly not surprised. I don't really see where they could've gone with a sequel to Fez.

@badp You didn't know Phil Fish was one from before?

Fluttershy

@badp Par for the course for Phil Fish.

Ben Brocka

7:07 PM

@badp Phil was justified in being pissed off, the "report" he was responding to was pretty unnecessary and stupid. He shouldn't have phrased it quite as he did, but it's pretty standard Phil Fish phrasing

badp

@Powerlord I didn't quite allocate space on my brain for that fact

Ben Brocka

@badp Seriously?

His initial reaction seems like a pretty solid way to handle it

badp

warning: fifth hand reporting

(still better than average gaming news post I guess)

> Basically Jonathon Blow and Phil Fish were asked to comment about the Xbox Indie 180, and they then complained about being asked questions and "why are they always questioned about Indie stuff". Marcus is criticizing the fact then when they want coverage on their indie game they want the attention of the press, but act insulted when its something else other than the promotion of their own games.

A "no comment" would've sufficed is all

Jonathon Blow is kinda pretentious too, but Phil Fish is pretty terrible.
