Q: Is there any games that have gamer abilties?

Games that have the main character realize their life is in a video game. The gamer ability or the gamer like in fanfiction. Is there any games that have this? Sorry if tags are wrong, but stack wanted at least 300 reputation to create my own tags. Examples: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1127309...

quartata

you get 2 rep for each one accepted

and they're ez

The Mattbat999

00:29

@quartata ..what is that (I am still a little ignorant of some of the stuff on SE)

quartata

if you have less than 2k rep when you edit someone else's post it goes into a review queue

then people can accept or reject it

if it gets accepted you get 2 rep

The Mattbat999

Ohhhh I know what that is. Didn't think about it.

The Mattbat999

01:11

@Avery why did they have to confirm it was tested on blacks?

Avery

@TheMattbat999 because many stuff are mostly tested on white people and we see examples of that with products malfunctioning on PoC (see link above, I know that your internet is limited, just watch 10 seconds) and especially more recently apps whitewashing pictures etc, and actually accounting for it is good.

@Wipqozn I watched that video, and that dude has no business playing the game. He argues that you can play the game without ever having to aim down sights, or play tactically, but he was also over-geared, and playing content that is meant to be easier to get through. The game is definitely harder than he wants to make people think.

user15026

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment I don't like this. I can't articulate why

Private Pansy

@Ash SE's model works best on topics with 1) narrow scope that can attract experts with deep expertise 2) questions that have one, definitive answer

This has neither

user15026

That and the whole "work to convince my my garbage ideas are wrong" feels gross

Private Pansy

I mean, if it is out of a genuine need to challenge pre-existing concepts, then sure. It's just that these attempts kind of attract the opposite kind of people

@TheMattbat999 What do you mean with "associate bonuses"?

Jutschge

@TheMattbat999 you'll only get it once. You already got your bonus from reaching 200 rep on Arqade. Reaching 200 on another site won't give you an additional 100 rep.

Arperum

@Jutschge That would be insane. since getting it on two sites would make you eligible for the bonus on all other sites, resulting in suddenly numberOfSESites *100 rep

The Mattbat999

@Jutschge ok. That ws kinda what I was asking. Thanks

Arperum

08:05

That would mean there would probably no users with less than 10k rep. So the rep system would be completely useless at that point.

Jutschge

But... but... I want free internet points!

Arperum

There are 170 SE sites, getting 170 * 100 rep is 17K free rep, just for making new acounts.

The Mattbat999

@Arperum yes. All you would have to do to get all privileges would be to log in a bunch of times

@Jutschge @Wipqozn would say "too bad"

Jutschge

I mean there are other ways to get free rep... Posting an ITG question with a screenshot for example...

Private Pansy

@Jutschge (Please don't actually do that)

Jutschge

08:12

Yeah I still feel like they should be banned completely... but meh... I guess it won't happen too soon.

The Mattbat999

@Jutschge huh. You can also get alot of edit reviews (get an edit peer reviewed and accepted). Don't spam yours or mine or @Ash and their "Hug Gun" will have to get you

Nzall

@PrivatePansy Hey, they're allowed

Jutschge

@Nzall and they're terrible.

@TheMattbat999 you'll only gain up to 1000 rep from accepted edits. Also if you have above 2k rep you won't get any rep from edits.

The Mattbat999

@Jutschge I know.

Jutschge

I think the best (constructive) way to get rep on this site is knowing a lot about minecraft :P

The Mattbat999

08:19

But, for an low rep person, they could exploit this

@Jutschge or Skyrim (I think those two games and Diablo 3 are the top 3 tags)

Jutschge

It's not exploiting if they're actually increasing the quality of posts. And you see if someone throws in a lot of low-effort edits. You can also reject the edit for that reason.

The Mattbat999

@Jutschge true.

Jutschge

League is one of the top tags aswell. But there are very few questions about it right now.

The Mattbat999

@Jutschge it is #5 (I am looking at the tags list right now). It saddens me that no one else has asked any questions on Eternal Ring... I am only one who has done so. Of course, it is an older game

Nzall

If people are improving the quality of the content because they want to game the system, I consider that an acceptable use of the site

The Mattbat999

08:40

@Nzall eh. I kinda agree yet not sure it is ok, but I suppose it is acceptable.

The Mattbat999

08:57

@Unionhawk what is a "stderr"? I looked it up and got something about programming, but I wasn't sure.

Nzall

@TheMattbat999 It's the default output channel for error messages in C and C++

Memor-X

@Jutschge that or by knowing everything about new AAA releases

The Mattbat999

@Nzall ok, that is what I got on google

Nzall

What the message is saying is that @Unionhawk tends to vent in this channel when the code he writes breaks

The Mattbat999

@Nzall ahhhh ok

Memor-X

09:03

all the error messages is Voice-to-Text recordings

> Syntax Error @ Line 122: unexpected end of line WHERE THE HELL IS THE MISSING ; !

Nzall

the /dev/rubberduck thing is about rubber duck debugging, which is when you try to explain what your code is intended to do to a literal rubber duck (or teddy bear in some cases), and at some point you come across the error in your logic

The Mattbat999

@Memor-X true, but that would be considerably difficult. A new Call of Duty is released every year, plus other companies are releasing all the time! So, you probably have 15 AAA release almost every year.

Arperum

@Nzall Tbf: he's not the only one. I've done the same.

Nzall

@Arperum So do I

The Mattbat999

@Memor-X I thought my computer told me "just shut up, quit typing, and cry in the corner" when I finished some code in C (I had something wrong in almost all my code, which was about 400 lines of code)

Jutschge

09:10

@TheMattbat999 I think most high-rep users gained the majority of rep from a variety of games. People who are active in only a few tags and have high rep are the exception.

We don't have a lot of silver and gold tag badges

Memor-X

@Nzall i use a Succubus Cat Familiar

when she works out my problems i reward her with coke or chocolate milk

and that was a quick star

Nzall

@Memor-X coke OF chocolate milk?

The Mattbat999

@Memor-X I like it

@Jutschge of course. I figured you could only go so far on 1 tag

Memor-X

@TheMattbat999 about 1 a month. not bad considering that reviewers have to go though more than that

The Mattbat999

@Memor-X yes

She looks like her way of "solving problems" is more like "make me like her then rip out my soul"

@Jutschge I have 1 silver badge that I am pround of (thoigh that more or less just proves your point more)

Memor-X

09:16

badp

@Memor-X cats eat neither of those things and succubi are satisfied by neither of those things

clearly you are lying to us

Arperum

@TheMattbat999 @Jutschge is talking about silver tag badges. Not any silver badge.

The Mattbat999

@Arperum ooohhhh. Sorry

Jutschge

@TheMattbat999 I'm talking about the Tag badges. We have 37 silver and 5 gold

The Mattbat999

Jutschge

09:17

Most games just don't generate enough questions to allow for more badges though.

Memor-X

@badp well she likes cake

The Mattbat999

@Memor-X who doesn't like cake? Though a succubus would also want my soul, but eh.

Nzall

@TheMattbat999 I tried to count all the AAA releases in 2017. I got to 45 on the IGN list, but I probably missed a lot given that A) I didn't count sports games as AAA and B) it's hard to know whether a game is a new release, a rerelease on a different platform or an indiegame that shouldn't count as a AAA game

badp

I thought they rather were about reaching that easy D™

I mean cats are pretty instinctive and they make decisions on the spot

The Mattbat999

@Nzall more than I thought!

Arperum

badp

aww, @fredley's plan almost backfired

someone from over yonder came, but left without saying anything

The Mattbat999

@fredley why?

Memor-X

@TheMattbat999 nope, most of the time she hanged around a Vampire. the whole Succubus thing is probably just steaming from the fact she's demonkind and thus Arcuied can't make a contract with her and that Arcuied had her give Tohno a sex dream which isn't whole the territory of Succubi. Medusa can cause them too

Nasuverse Succubi and Incubi just need vitality which can come from sex but can also come from blood

The Mattbat999

09:29

@Memor-X huh. Idk, when I played Castlevania SOTN (and, other than Black Butler and Pokemon, is the closest I ever got to anime), the Succubus you fought was in your head and tried to completely murder you.

Memor-X

@TheMattbat999 because you probably pissed them off. ever stopped to consider why Dracula is so angry all the time when people keep trying to kill him

The Mattbat999

(Also, I am surprised how fast we went from SE rep exploits to practically demonology)

Memor-X

Alucard is calm and collected because people aren't killing him all the time

The Mattbat999

@Memor-X I think that was the reason, but I can't remember, since it has been so long since I played. Need to play it soon...

@Memor-X that is also true. Plus, he don't play no crap. He kills things and moves along. No long talks

@Nzall you're also a bridger, weirdness is the default expectation

The Mattbat999

@Memor-X but what exactly is "vegemite"?

Nzall

10:40

@KevinvanderVelden I'm an autistic bridger, my weirdness is on a level above the others

Vegemite

Vegemite ( VEJ-i-myte) is a thick, black Australian food spread made from leftover brewers' yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives. It was developed by Cyril Percy Callister in Melbourne, Victoria in 1922. The Vegemite brand was owned by Mondelez International, but was acquired by the Australian Bega Cheese group following an agreement in January 2017. A spread for sandwiches, toast, crumpets and cracker biscuits as well as a filling for pastries, Vegemite is similar to British, New Zealand and South African Marmite, Australian Promite, MightyMite, AussieMite, OzEmite and Swiss...

Kevin van der Velden

@TheMattbat999 awful horrible stuff used to punish prisoners and their descendants

The Mattbat999

@Nzall there are no normal people, only peoe who accept it and those who deny it

fredley

@Nzall Vegemite is amazing

I have it every morning on toast

The Mattbat999

@KevinvanderVelden so awful peanut butter like stuff from yeast?

fredley

@TheMattbat999 You make beer, then you scoop out the sludge from the bottom of the vat once you're finished, and put it in jars.

Kevin van der Velden

10:43

Also add some left over vegetables because why not

The Mattbat999

@fredley sounds awful, but ok

fredley

@TheMattbat999 I love it so much

But it's an acquired taste

Like beer itself

The Mattbat999

@fredley have fun!

Memor-X

not to be confused with marmite

marmite is terrible (asdfmite)

fredley

I mean, if you really want to get freaked out by a sandwich spread, check out Bovril

Avery

10:47

yo @cazc_941 you watched this? It's p cool

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley that's that british stuff right?

Avery

he's one of the most talented people I know

fredley

badp

@KevinvanderVelden so, just like brexit?

fredley

Bovril is what you make after you've made glue

badp

10:49

a call to 911 because your fingers are now stuck together?

The Mattbat999

@fredley ah. Read the first paragraph on that link and decided it was too early in the morning to puke

Avery

bridge should I order a 30cm pizza or a 36cm pizza

The Mattbat999

@Avery more like 1000cm pizza

Avery

I mean

I can afford both

Chippies

@Avery there's your answer - order both

Avery

10:56

but I don't want to eat too much

The Mattbat999

@Chippies YES. Pizzais almost as essential as water for life!

Chippies

@TheMattbat999 meh, it's alright

I'm eating frog legs right now... They're very much like chicken, but with a hint of fried fish

my wife is so disgusted, she won't even join me in the room

Nzall

@Avery I noticed you changed your avatar

Avery

I did

what why why did I just buy a 40cm pizza

The Mattbat999

11:12

@Avery because your smart

Private Pansy

r/anime is doing a Cardcaptor Sakura rewatch

The Mattbat999

PETA is suing someone over taking a picture of a monkey (PETA says it is the monkey's, not the guys)

Private Pansy

I'm surprised to say the show is holding up surprisingly well

The Mattbat999

I am watching TV

Chippies

@TheMattbat999 this has been going on for almost a year, if not longer

The Mattbat999

11:17

@Chippies I find it kinda stupid.

Chippies

@TheMattbat999 because it kinda is, but I can see their side of the argument

Nzall

@TheMattbat999 PETA has already settled with the photographer

Chippies

the monkey took the picture, not the photographer

Mad Scientist

That's one of the less evil and stupid things PETA does

Nzall

telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/09/12/…

Chippies

11:18

but monkey doesn't care about copyrights

The Mattbat999

@Chippies and? It is still a monkey

Nzall

Peta has settled with the photographer yesterday

The Mattbat999

@Nzall I don't even see why they sued in the first place.

Nzall

> The popularity of the pictures triggered legal action after Mr Slater asked Wikipedia to take down one of the pictures which it had published without his permission.

Wikipedia refused, claiming the copyright belonged to the monkey.

Read the article I linked, it explains the story

Private Pansy

Also the OP is stuck in my head. This is terrible.

The Mattbat999

11:21

@Nzall "...the US Copyright Office ruling that animals could not own copyright, an American charity, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta), entered the fray."

That should have been it

End of story.

I read the article, by the way

Kevin van der Velden

11:34

@TheMattbat999 why should that be the end of it? That's not even a court

The copyright office said "Non-human animals can't have copyright", PETA said "We think they should and believe we can convince a court to rule in our favour" and took it to court

That is how it should work

The Mattbat999

@KevinvanderVelden eh. I don't agree with most of PETA's views (other animals are equal to us), but I guess they had a right to try.

Avery

pizza is here~

The Mattbat999

@Avery good for you!!! Wish I had some pizza...

Jutschge

@TheMattbat999 PETA doesn't want equality, PETA wants animals to be worshipped. Also they like to create a lot of noise.

The Mattbat999

@Jutschge exactly. If they had their way, no more steak! Or bacon!

Jutschge

11:50

I mean there are other organisations that try to promote vegetarianism/veganism and animal rights and there's nothing wrong with that. PETA is just waaaay to radical (also IIRC they euthanize most of the animals in their shelter which is ... weird)

The Mattbat999

@Jutschge I couldn't go vegetarian or vegan. My subconscious and taste buds would commit suicide together.

Jutschge

Hmm I might be able to go vegetarian... but never vegan. Couldn't live without cheese

Mad Scientist

PETA versus the postdoc: Animal rights group targets young researcher for first time

The Mattbat999

@Jutschge plus we need nutrients that can only come from animals. Plus, alot of stuff we use day after day come from dead animals. Finally, humans are designed to be omnivorous, not herbivorous.

Jutschge

Tbh I only care about cheese.

The Mattbat999

12:00

@Jutschge cheese is good

Jutschge

@TheMattbat999 that's an understatement

The Mattbat999

@Jutschge your right. Sadly mortals cannot fully state it's tastes. Mana barely tops it's taste!

Kevin van der Velden

@TheMattbat999 err, no. We may need nutrients which 3 thousand years ago only came from animals in sufficient quantities. We've got technology and substitutes now. Meat is no longer a requirement

The Mattbat999

@KevinvanderVelden ehhhh... I read about where pig flesh is a major part of toothpaste, crayons, and other stuff. I can't remember where though (an example to show we still have to kill animals for stuff we want/nees)

Private Pansy

@TheMattbat999 You mean for gelatine?

Kevin van der Velden

12:08

Fairly sure that kind of stuff is mostly used because it's available and cheap as it's a byproduct of meat farming

The Mattbat999

@PrivatePansy yeah.

PETA versus the postdoc: Animal rights group targets young researcher for first time

Well, the link in the link

Peta is messed up

Kevin van der Velden

Oh yeah peta does way more harm then it does good

Memor-X

@TheMattbat999 which one?

The Mattbat999

@Memor-X well, at first the white box was showing up as a link, so it would be a link in a link, buy now it isn't.

Chippies

12:34

@TheMattbat999 like what nutrients?

oh, that was already answered

cazc_941

@fredley I thought that's how they made Guiness

huehuehue

fredley

@cazc_941 No, for Guinness you make beer then you pass it through a fish's bladder

Isinglass

Isinglass ( or ) is a substance obtained from the dried swim bladders of fish. It is a form of collagen used mainly for the clarification or fining of some beer and wine. It can also be cooked into a paste for specialised gluing purposes. Its origin is from the obsolete Dutch huizenblaas – huizen is a kind of sturgeon, and blaas is a bladder. Isinglass is no longer sourced from sturgeon. Although originally made exclusively from sturgeon, especially beluga, in 1795 an invention by William Murdoch facilitated a cheap substitute using cod. This was extensively used in Britain in place of Russian...

Chippies

@fredley so wait, the whole "this tastes like piss" isn't just a joke?

Yuuki

woohoo
