So the question makes either no sense, or is spam.

@MartinSojka It has nothing to do with the game, trust me, I have played it extensively

If you're in Germany: Take a half year course in economics and relevant laws, acquire three different certification (food processing, hygiene and privacy policy), and pay your local Turkish or Russian Mafia branch some "insurance money" on top of that to remain in business.

@MartinSojka or you know, just make yourself a hotdog, enjoy it, and fuck the rest.... :D

@shanodin That's how it should work. However, in practice, some of this site's users don't really follow that guideline, especially people who love downvoting. Some downvote due to hating a certain category of questions, like all lore questions, and some downvote due to comments of a user unrelated to the question at hand. E.g. gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/128463/… If other downvoters do that (and it is indeed not against site policy to do so), then One-One is free to (up/down)vote this question for any reason he deems valid too. — galacticninja 2 days ago

@FEichinger The only category of questions that I categorically downvote is 'stupid'.

That said, there is very little daylight on the venn diagram between 'stupid questions' and 'lore questions'.

FEichinger

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm talking about people flat-out equating "lore" and "stupid".

There are good lore questions and a load of out-of-the-blue-with-no-apparent-train-of-thought-that-led-there stupid lore questions.

Sterno

If the end result is that people stop arguing about whether or not a downvote or upvote is "correct", I call it a win.

FEichinger

@Sterno Definitely.

I'm just saying that he does have a point, somewhere in that mess of pointless arguing. It's not a point that should matter anywhere, but it's a valid point no less.

badp

We already have a definition of a "stupid" lore question, and it's "is not actually covered by the canon"

like "What taste is the cake in Portal 2?"

and we don't downvote those, we close them.

FEichinger

@badp Exactly.

Arperum

12:18 PM

@badp Did someone ask that or is it made up on the spot?

badp

@Arperum the latter

Sterno

You can have a stupid question that is not off-topic.

badp

I have never understood, and it is unlikely I will understand, the stance where a lore question has to change the way you play a game to be a good lore question

Sterno

And now I want to know what kind of cake it is.

@badp No, plenty of other lore questions are perfectly on topic, but are also stupid.

Sterno

Sounds uncomfortable.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp You know as well as I do that just about anything gets through that rule by asking "Is $STUPID PLOT HOLE ever addressed?"; the primary purpose of the nothing from outside the game rule is that it keeps us away from dumb questions about usually dumb tie-in novels.

It doesn't usually help at all with truly dumb lore questions.

Sterno

I just want you all to know that I appreciate this Monday Morning Drama.

Sconibulus

oh... tie-in novels...

Sterno

12:31 PM

minor though it may be

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz actually I'm pretty sure I supported the dumb tie-in novels; it should not support the "is plot hole addressed"

I don't usually look at question open/close matters because I tend to disagree with a large portion of the community and it's better for everybody involved if I let somebody more in sync with the community on the matter keep an eye on it

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp Pretty sure we've explicitly banished questions about dumb tie in novels to scifi.se

badp

like, yes, if it's flagged I'll intervene but I don't look at review questions

Sterno

It seems problematic to judge a question's on-topicness by what the answer to the question is.

badp

@Sterno it's not so much "what the answer is" but "is there an answer?"

Sterno

12:33 PM

@badp Same problem.

badp

(where "there is no answer" is not an answer, but a close vote)

Sterno

So I can only vote to close poke the plot hole questions if I know for sure it's a plot hole, and can't VTC any if it's actually addressed in game?

badp

@Sterno well, don't we apply kind of the same reasoning to unreleased content stuff? There is no answer about those, so we close them. If there would be an answer it'd necessarily speculate on unreleased content and thus we close the question. This is so we prevent the question from getting answers. And that's the whole point of closing.

@Sterno that's how I understand it.

Sterno

Yeah, but it's really easy to determine unambiguously if a game is released or not.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp "Answerability" is a terrible metric for question cromulence, and ought never be employed. This is why I'm fond of just outright closing any question about unreleased content, because it sidesteps the "Is this answerable" nonsense.

Sterno

12:35 PM

By what you said, I'd VTC that one that @LessPop_MoreFizz just linked.

FEichinger

@Sterno How is it still a plot hole if it's addressed in the game?

LessPop_MoreFizz

...I really need to actually write down this meta post I've had dancing around in my head for weeks.

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz but it's the very same criteria! The question is not answerable. It's just easier to apply.

Sterno

@FEichinger That's my point. It requires knowing the answer ot know if it's actually "poke the plot hole". Though to be fair, you can still play "poke the plot hole" and get answers that are more justifications than actual explanations.

badp

Ease of application never struck me as a requisite for policies. If questions could be closed and opened by Turing machines, they would

Knowing what you're talking about is always a requisite for voting on posts

Sterno

12:38 PM

@badp Well, the end result then is you can't just have a meta policy that says "We close these", because you're going to get all the people with close votes arguing about whether or not the question actually has an answer.

badp

@Sterno If there is an argument - if somebody actually answers the question - then there is an answer, right?

Sterno

For instance, I'd consider the answer to this to not really be an answer.

"The hero knows because he's not a moron"

badp

@Sterno That answer doesn't actually cite the canon tbh and really stinks of speculation

"He just has to know right?"

Sterno

That's not a canon-based answer... that's a justification for the most likely path of getting from Point A to point B

You can do that with most poke the plot hole questions unless they're gaping plot holes

I'm not clear what the difference is between their plot-explanation and plot-inconsistency tags.

Well, explanation could be, "Can you help me understand why this happened" where inconsistency might be "If he had that giant rocket launcher, why didn't he blow up the bad guy 10 minutes in"

Let me rephrase that as "Does this derivative action movie simply steal from other action movies, or is it specifically paying homage?"

That the question exists is not what makes me sad. The sadness is for the upvotes. Always for the upvotes.

Well, there may be some interview with ... whoever the hell did that movie. That damn Swabian again, I guess.

Just checked and funnily enough it isn't. Strange, it has explosions and seems somewhat patriotic.

It'd be hard to make an unpatriotic movie about enemies taking the White House unless it was from the non-US point of view.

That said, I have no idea who or what Swabian is or what you're talking about. :)
