3:00 PM

And, really, how do you define "core differences"? That's completely different for every reader.

3ventic

@Frank ..and the gamemodes..and the objectives..and the classes..

Wipqozn

@Frank That's a perfectly reasonable position to take.

to be honest I'm not sure how I feel about it, so I won't be voting either way for the moment.

FEichinger

@Frank Then edit it out, make it more focused.

Frank

@FEichinger I haven't played enough of either of them to do that.

FEichinger

Then you shouldn't vote on it on those grounds in the first place.

A: Can I safely disconnect when the final scoreboard is shown?

From my experience : NO, I disconnected on the scoreboard and the win wasn't registered, and I guess I took a match making penalty (I can't tell for sure since I quitted the game completely that day).

Frank

@FEichinger It is the asker's duty to provide enough information to show how they are similar. He has failed to do so.

FEichinger

@Frank You're making assumptions on the scope of the question.

Wipqozn

@ElfSlice Downvote and leave a comment.

Also upvote the correct answer if it exists, or post your own.

kalina

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Frank

3:06 PM

@FEichinger The scope is comparing two different series, with a subjective criteria. That's too broad in my books.

Wipqozn

Acceptance is 100% up to the asker. Even if they're wrong.

FEichinger

@Frank It's still the same franchise.

If "What are the differences (in mechanics)?" would be valid in scope, then "What are the core differences?" just needs a word removed.

Unionhawk

@kalina WE KNOW

ElfSlice

@Wipqozn The asker appears to be a deleted account.

Frank

@FEichinger That that would still be too broad.

ElfSlice

3:07 PM

Does that make a difference?

Wipqozn

@FEichinger Sure, but so is super Mario world and Mario Tennis, but you wouldn't make a comparison between the two.

Frank

We're comparing games that share a name, and that's it.

Wipqozn

@ElfSlice No. Just downvote and comment.

An accepted answer with a negative score and comment pointing out it's wrong is all that's needed, just like any other wrong answer.

kalina

@Unionhawk I haven't reminded you for more than 24 hours

Wipqozn

the important thing is that users know it's wrong.

Unionhawk

3:08 PM

ah

Frank

@kalina How can you still be bored? Don't you have a job to do?

FEichinger

@Frank You're assuming that.

Braiam

@Wipqozn oh... last time I someone said users know something... things were very grim

Wipqozn

@FEichinger I think his point is that there are too many differences between the two series for to be to a good question (too broad), and that since "core" is subjective you need to a lot more to fcous the question.

kalina

@Frank I'm off work today and tomorrow

Frank

3:09 PM

@FEichinger No, I'm going off of our policy about game comparisons.

It is the asker's duty to refine it into something useful.

Or provide information as to why they are similar.

FEichinger

@Wipqozn And if we have someone knowing that it's "too many differences", I'm perfectly fine with it. @Frank making assumptions about that is what I don't like here.

kalina

wait a minute, is there bridge drama occurring right in front of me and I'm just not realising it?

Unionhawk

@Frank Can I get a sanity check on that policy? Not that I'm accusing you of making stuff up, but...

Frank

@kalina I'm advocating for burning, as per usual.

A: What's the difference between FortressCraft and Minecraft? Who cares?

I disagree with banning these wholesale. I don't disagree that we can close some of these as "Not A Real Question", citing Raven's answer. Consider a very close kin to these kinds of questions - version differences. Which has its own tag, even. But both of them operate on the same intent - they...

Kevin van der Velden

Make arqade the only site with every question answered! By not having any questions at all!

FEichinger

@Frank Considering they're both lines of FPS in the same franchise, I wouldn't say there's that much more "information as to why they are similar" necessary.

kalina

we've got an active community of chatters, we don't need questions and answers

Q: What are core differences between Battlefield and Bad Company series?

I entered the Battlefield universe with BF3 but since then I read and heard so many people willing that BF3 and BF4 were similar to the Bad Company series or that DICE should "go back to Bad Company". I mean BF3 and BF4 are pretty good games and I don't get why people go crazy about Bad Company. ...

3ventic

Comparing BF4 to BFBC2 is like comparing COD MW to COD MW2. There are some differences but certainly not something that can't be answered in a few paragraphs.

Frank

@3ventic No. One is a sequel.

FEichinger

@Frank It's not just "sharing a name". The engine is reused across them, the mechanics are, essentially, similar.

kalina

interesting

Frank

The other is an entirely different game.

Q: How many monsters are there in the Amnesia games?

For some research purposes I'm looking for the exact number of monsters that may actually hurt/kill the player in Amnesia: The Dark Descent and in Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. I looked at the respecive wikis but they only mentioned what type of monsters are there in the games, not their numbers.

kalina

Would we allow the question: "What are the differences between Doom and Doom 2?"

3ventic

@Frank Just as far apart.

having played both for tens of hours

Frank

@3ventic I disagree.

Yuki

@Frank I really need to search Meta better before writing something up and posting it.

FEichinger

@Frank You literally haven't played either and assume someone who has is wrong.

Frank

3:13 PM

@kalina We allowed, "What are the differences between Bit.Trip Runner and Runner 2"

FEichinger

Seriously, what the hell?

kalina

@Frank right well, why aren't we allowing this question?

Frank

@FEichinger No, I am not making assumptions. I am demanding the user put a reasonable scope on his question as per our meta

FEichinger

Again: My only problem is that you're making assumptions without having played the games, and then choose to close on grounds of those assumptions.

kalina

scope, right

Wipqozn

@Frank Yes, but "reasonable scope" varies from comparison to comparison.

ElfSlice

kalina

@JasonBerkan I was the last vote

Frank

3:14 PM

Anyways, I'm done with this. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

FEichinger

@Frank And then I'll point you at the part where you're disagreeing with someone who has more knowledge about the subject matter.

ElfSlice

Doge, such internet

Frank

@Wipqozn Indeed. And I think this one is currently not reasonable.

kalina

@JasonBerkan @3ventic both closed and reopened it, ask him

RedRiderX

@ElfSlice Best account ever

Jason Berkan

3:16 PM

@kalina I might. You don't just cast a close vote because there are four others.

3ventic

The first revision was primarily opinion based.

I voted to close it as such.

He edited, I voted to reopen.

Yuki

@FEichinger As much as I agree with your point, I have to note this: are you saying someone with (objectively) more knowledge about the subject matter at hand automatically trumps anyone who doesn't?

kalina

@JasonBerkan see @3ventic's answer, I have no short term memory, asking me why I did something yesterday just doesn't work

it would have seemed like a valid action at the time

Jason Berkan

@kalina Dory?

This guy is going on an answer rampage.

@Wipqozn I have played it. Admittedly not a lot, but I have.

ElfSlice

Although not terribly good ones.

Bad Company = single player cover based shooter.

Battlefield = multiplayer shooter.

fredley

3:20 PM

Gah

I hate git

OrigamiRobot

You should post that as an answer.

fredley

any time you think you've worked it out, it turns out you haven't

Yuki

Well, technically speaking, they both have/had multiplayer and singleplayer. Bad Company just had a bit more of a cohesive storyline to it and Battlefield is more well known for its multiplayer.

fredley

WHY ISN'T VERSION CONTROL SIMPLE

Jason Berkan

@fredley It is, until you branch and merge, and then all hell breaks loose.

FEichinger

3:21 PM

@Yuki When determining the scope of a question, one should at least be largely familiar with the subject matter. Anything else is a baseless assumption formed purely to force a specific phrasing of the question to fulfill "I need to see this word in there!"

fredley

@JasonBerkan WHY IS IT SO HARD?

Tim Stone

@fredley You probably just don't git it. </horrible-horrible-puns>

Yuki

There are a few mechanics differences, but they are largely very familiar.

fredley

HamStare @TimStone

@TimStone ಠ_ಠ

5pike

@Frank wrong. Bad Company has a (really REALLY bad) singleplayer campaign, but the focus is still on multiplayer. It also has no cover based shooting.

Wipqozn

3:22 PM

@FEichinger I honestly don't think that is what frank is doing at all. He's made it clear he doesn't think that adding "core" into the question fixes his concerns with the question at all.

Since core by itself doesn't really add much.

Tim Stone

Noooo NewEgg, why did you give me all these coupons? I don't need to buy a new set of parts from my computer right now, stop tempting me. ;_;

FEichinger

@Wipqozn Which is based on the assumption that the question is - regardless of "core" or not - too big in scope. Without being familiar with the subject matter, that is simply baseless.

3:25 PM

@FEichinger Frank seems to be familiar enough with both games to understand there are major differences between the two. Even if he wasn't, I don't think phrasing his desires as "I need to see this word!" is really going to help the situation. It's just going to create more hostility.

RedRiderX

Hmm.

I just watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

And I don't really know what to think

kalina

did she leap through time?

ElfSlice

How old was the girl?

kalina

how far did she leap?

RedRiderX

@kalina Frequently.

@ElfSlice ...

FEichinger

3:26 PM

@Wipqozn He wants it "focused on a specific part of the game", which I feel is not necessary to define the scope of an already very clearly scoped question, and just furthers the use of keywords in the question.

Arperum

@ElfSlice Oh god.

Oh, wait. Bad Company isn't the game I thought it was. What's the name of that game with the dudebros with the masks?

The Super Stickman Golf 2 soundtrack has been released. Pretty cool stuff.

@TimStone They grow up so fast. sniff

ElfSlice

That game is great.

3ventic

It should be, otherwise it's extremely easy to abuse

Frank

I think it takes a mod invalidation to remove spam/offensive flags. I believe it would take the downvotes with them.

ElfSlice

@TimStone ?

ElfSlice

My cat is more coherent than your child @TimStone

@Frank wheee flegs

Tim Stone

Considering he's only four months old that's probably true.

ElfSlice

@TimStone =P

@TimStone If I post a soundcloud link is it going to be oneboxed

I haven't in a while

@BenBrocka Putting aside my potential pedantry, try to hit the conditions for that italicized term.

Unionhawk

@ElfSlice Likely not

Frank

There's only 15 users with >500 downvotes.

SAD

Grace Note

I mean, criminy, there's a physical list that's distributed that even reveals this data too.

Yuki

@Frank That is not an answer.

Frank

3:54 PM

I am simultaneously disappointed and proud, because @Trent is on that list.

ElfSlice

@Yuki I flagged it as spam

Frank

@Yuki Offensive flags work quite well.

ElfSlice

I guess NAA would have been better.

@Frank 'butt' is hardly offensive.

3ventic

offensive flags include inappropriate

Yuki

@ElfSlice 'Ass' might be though.

ElfSlice

3:55 PM

Yeah maybe I guess.

3ventic

and a lot of butt in a post is definitely inappropriate..

Yuki

And offensive does include "rude".

Unionhawk

Honestly, any of the flags would work. Offensive is what I went with, VLQ would work, NAA is okay I guess. Spam, however... >_>

RolandiXor

Offensive == matter of perspective. If a wide group of people share that perspective, then you might want to avoid the offence.

And deliberately going ahead with it because "I don't care" is not a wise choice either. returns to hiding place

Frank

@RolandiXor Trust me, we've had several discussions about what constitutes offensive, and how it works in a community setting.

DON'T FLAG STUPID THINGS

:)

@Yuki Not if you're in chat. :/

Yuki

@Frank Oh boy have we had discussions about what constitutes offensive...

Tim Stone

@ElfSlice No, and balpha's currently out anyway, so there's not likely to be any changes to chat until he gets back.

RolandiXor

@Frank I just stated my personal viewpoint :) (in the course of regular conversation)

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote Tsundere? Black hair? Fencing? Enjoys weird off-green text on blue backgrounds?

ElfSlice

3:57 PM

@TimStone I was just kidding anyway.

Frank

@RolandiXor And we've pointed out to people in this room several times that not everything they find offensive is actually going to get actioned, and vice versa.

FEichinger

@Unionhawk The site's definition of spam is purely commercial. Which is not necessarily the case for spam.

kalina

@RolandiXor "wide group of people" is not context sensitive, context = the bridge, flag validators are from outside the bridge

Grace Note

@BenBrocka I kinda prefer "disquieting" over "weird".

RolandiXor

@kalina which is why those on the bridge should hold off on the flags. Let your mods handle it.
