@Dragonrage really? lol.

Dragonrage

Are you sure you want to add another answer?

You could use the edit link to refine and improve your existing answer, instead.

thats what the site tells me

also i blame @Wipqozn for making me make even more answers on @AshleyNunn's question

Haider

Ahoi

Ohnana

LH might actually graduate and become a real site

user15026

I laugh that I am still getting answers because I'm done with the ticket :P

Dragonrage

@Ohnana that is a scary thought

user15026

18:03

@Ohnana Someday, maybe, but I suspect that's a good while off yet

Ohnana

@AshleyNunn the stats are pretty good

GodEmperorDune

@Ohnana LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Dragonrage

@AshleyNunn glad to provide amusement, also we are trying to provide more answers in case you have more tickets, as some people thing you have a gambling problem

GodEmperorDune

@Ohnana questions per day are way under where they need to be

user15026

@Ohnana Maybe, but I think there's more to graduating than just the pure stats

Dragonrage

18:05

@GodEmperorDune i would imagine answers per question are perfectly fine

user15026

@Dragonrage Well, I did win $6 so thats two more :P

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage the question is if it scales up as the questions increase

Ohnana

@Dragonrage 3.5 answers per Q. LOL

Dragonrage

can we get lifehacks closed as a dup to domchores?

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage nah it is protected by SE staff, it will never close

Ohnana

@murgatroid99 oh lawd

Dragonrage

btw how many people actually carry a nail file with them?

GodEmperorDune

the most important stat, google traffic, is not even very well measured in the A51 stats

So this keeps happening when i play for 1 minute, i have tried many things none of them work. Please help!

minecraft

Dragonrage

18:08

@djsmiley2k plagiarism is a serious thing XD

@GodEmperorDune they take too long to release them as they have to go through a serious revision and editing process before getting published

they should have a badge on lifehacks for having 10+ positively scored answers to one question

djsmiley2k

@Dragonrage Do you honestly want attribution?

Wipqozn

@Ohnana The stats are decent, but the qualkity of the content is still low. There's also barely any community moderation or meta discussion. The SE community member assigned to the site is still doing a lot of moderation duties.

djsmiley2k

I'm aiming for every single one of my answers on lifehacks to involve knives.

Ohnana

@Wipqozn there's a ton of high rep people and a few mods

Dragonrage

@djsmiley2k no, in my heart of hearts, i know i provided you the inspiration which is good enough for me

GodEmperorDune

18:11

@Ohnana they atill don't know how to meta

Wipqozn

@Ohnana Community moderation meaning folks actually moderating the site

Ohnana

@Wipqozn i know. the power is there, why aren't they using it?

Wipqozn

Only one one of the mods seems to be active at mod duties

@Ohnana That's my point.

You need folks who are passionate and invested in your site before it launches.

GodEmperorDune

i can't wait until the lifehacks self eval comes around

Dragonrage

@GodEmperorDune wasnt there already one?

i thought that was where @Wipqozn yelled at all the mods there for not doing anything

GodEmperorDune

18:13

@Dragonrage no that was a different one

@MadMAxJr If you want to be inspired.

GodEmperorDune

things that would wreck lifehacks:

> Average length of answers, in words. Averaged over last month. If the experts are too lazy to type, it's a problem for the site. A distribution would be nice.

> Total number of actions resolved last month by CMs.

MadMAxJr

What dragon is this?

GodEmperorDune

18:26

> Number of non-moderator reviewers/closevoters with more than 5 actions last week (moderation core size).

Fluttershy

Alright, Bridge. Decision making time. Which of the following do I do: Buy The Witness, buy Firewatch, or none of the above? Sadly, both is not an option. The choices are yours and yours alone!

GodEmperorDune

@Fluttershy Both

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr Which one? It's a multi-monster hunt.

MadMAxJr

Oh.. just looking at the red one up front

Fluttershy

@GodEmperorDune Reading comprehension go! :P But I know you're joking.

Yuuki

18:27

@MadMAxJr The first one? That's Rathalos.

Dragonrage

@Fluttershy strawpoll.me/6717737

MadMAxJr

Wow, his build isn't using stamina.

GodEmperorDune

@Fluttershy ok, all three options then

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr Mega Dash Juice.

Negates stamina use for a duration.

The really impressive part is that he has almost 100% accuracy for headshots.

Dragonrage

ive never played either but firewatch has a better ring to i than the witness imo

murgatroid99

18:29

@Fluttershy The Witness

Yuuki

Actually, I think it is 100% headshots.

MadMAxJr

Wow.. Stunlocks the black kut ku thing

Yuuki

Garuga.

Wait 'til you see his predictions on the Tigrex.

Fluttershy

Alright. That's one for The Witness. And the strawpoll is split 1 to 1.

GodEmperorDune

@Fluttershy none of the above!

Kevin van der Velden

18:31

@Fluttershy xcom 2!

MadMAxJr

dodges forward and through the tigrex legs on charge?!?

Yuuki

Bushido style.

Fluttershy

@KevinvanderVelden Unpopular opinion: I'm not fond of XCOM.

Yuuki

If you time your dodge/guard (depends on weapon) perfectly, you gain a few more iframes and you can do special moves out of the dodge/guard.

MadMAxJr

The black tigrex thing.. that's the big bad from 2, isn't it?

Fluttershy

18:33

Firewatch is half the price of The Witness... But it's possible The Witness will hold my interest for twice as long. The plot thicks.

Yuuki

The one that looks like a panther?

That's Nargacuga, yes.

MadMAxJr

Stuns him out of the air with a headshot

Yuuki

That was beautiful.

user15026

...someone downvoted me on LH and left a comment telling me to stop gambling. People are awesome.

user4704

Firewatch looks neat.

user4704

18:35

I hope it is.

Yuuki

I really hope it isn't too survival-y.

MadMAxJr

Dunno the green/yellow one.. But wow. The quickness and accuracy of placing an aimed shot on this guy is amazing.

Fluttershy

There's two for Firewatch and two for The Witness! I'm counting @JoshPetrie's mention of the game as a vote in its favor.

user4704

You can, I have zero interest in The Witness.

murgatroid99

I was also the one who voted for the Witness in the straw poll

MadMAxJr

18:37

I vote neither

Save your money

Dragonrage

@murgatroid99 yay, someone used the strawpoll.

ardaozkal

@NateKerkhofs just checked

The ones that are just reskins all have "skin" or "pack" in their name

Dragonrage

18:43

just asked my second question guys.

ardaozkal

Crime Fighter Challenge Pack is a challenge map

Nate Kerkhofs

thing is, some of the DLC doesn't have pack in them, but mention tha they got challenge maps

ardaozkal

Check out Season of Infamy, Red Hood Story Pack, Catwoman's Revenge, GCPD Lockdown.

The check out is italic there, as I didn't try all of them.

MadMAxJr

Didn't they give up on fixing Arkham Knight on PC?

Nate Kerkhofs

@MadMAxJr the game runs reasonably well on my machine

ardaozkal

18:46

@MadMAxJr although I can't still play it, they made it more acceptable.

Nate Kerkhofs

@MadMAxJr when I say reasonably well, I don't mean 60 FPS well, or stable framerate, but I find that the game stays playable except during one or 2 moments.

Dragonrage

@NateKerkhofs for cavity?

Nate Kerkhofs

19:01

@Dragonrage yeah, small cavity in my top right wisdom tooth

Need to go back in 2 weeks for the bottom left wisdom tooth

Dragonrage

ive had that done once i think. i havent been to the dentist in years though, i probably should go soon

especially since i need to have one of my teeth capped because it is badly chipped

Nate Kerkhofs

@Dragonrage when you do so, ask the dentist if they can plan a regular checkup for you

I had one every 6 months until 2014, after that every year

so today was the first time in a year I went to the dentist, and immediately had 2 cavities to fill

Dragonrage

@NateKerkhofs i used to go regularly, but then i moved and have not been able to find a good dentist near where i live now

Nate Kerkhofs

@Dragonrage @djsmiley2k Come on now gentlemen. There are plenty of terrible Lifehacks questions to go around. You can share!

Dragonrage

is there like a standard ratio of flags to votes? or is that data not gathered?

user15026

@Dragonrage What do you mean, standard ratio?

Dragonrage

@AshleyNunn i guess maybe average would be a better term.

user15026

19:39

I'm still not sure what you mean though

user15026

like on a question? Or like...on a user level?

Dragonrage

just curious whether people tend to vote or flag more in general, or if it just depends on the user

like site-wide

user15026

Vote more, easy.

user15026

As an overall whole, I can just about guarantee there are infinitely more votes than there are flags.

Dragonrage

so someone who flags more than votes would be something of an anomaly?

user15026

19:44

I'd think so, yes

ardaozkal

@Dragonrage I flag more than I vote lately.

GodEmperorDune

if close vote is a super downvote, then flags are an ultra downvote

ardaozkal

Also, I'll stream Crash Bandicoot on PSX in a few mins.

Dragonrage

@GodEmperorDune arent flags less impactful than close votes?

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage i was thinking more spam/offensive/rude flags

which delete and do -100 rep if they are confirmed

Dragonrage

19:47

@GodEmperorDune ah, i did not know that. i also assumed that once you got 3k rep you didnt use flags anymore, just votes

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage yeah, close vote does more than a flag to close

but those spam flags are potent

ardaozkal

Yeah, there is no spam close vote.

Haider
