@Wipqozn It's not blasting right now, but it's loud enough that I can hear it clearly.

@FEichinger what's the original mod game thing called now?
 
@badp , as per the meta. At least that's what it should be, lemme check. Currently
 
@FEichinger Now that's just bad
 
@PrivatePansy Blame BlueRaja or whatever his name is.
 
@PrivatePansy I like it
It's much better than "the-stanley-parable-mod"
 
He went on a retag spree in the middle of the discussion, blatantly ignoring my comment to just not edit until we've talked about it.
 
1:47 PM
It's very much clear
It's consistent with how we've handled SimCity
So I'll be the first upvote for BlueRaja, if you don't mind
 
@badp I think the -mod postfix is much clearer than the year which the game was released in
 
@PrivatePansy That sounds like a question about a mod for The Stanley Parable
 
@PrivatePansy This. It corresponds to what it is, rather than its circumstances.
 
SQUIRREL GIRL IS FINALLY IN MARVEL HEROES
 
@FEichinger Its being a mod is an implementation detail
 
1:49 PM
(FWIW, I would've gone with for the original and for the remake, because that's what the remix used to be called. Since the dev said the remake is the definitive version, I suggested the suffix in chat yesterday.)
At any rate, we still have the which is just nonsensical.
 
GUYS
 
That should be a synonym of . We can bash our heads in about how to tag the original at some other point.
 
Why are we arguing about Stanley Parable tagging? Squirrel Girl finally released!
=P
 
Her superpowers include... having a prehensile tail?
No seriously, that's what her Wikipedia page lists
 
@FEichinger See what happens? I look away from meta for a while and you get ideas.
This is awful.
 
1:59 PM
@PrivatePansy She's basically the Marvel equivalent to Aquaman, if Aquaman could control squirrels and stuff.
 
@badp I get ideas? What?
 
@badp Sounds like the perfect opportunity for some mod abuse
 
@FEichinger and not only you get ideas, but you suggest them.
 
@badp Hush, you.
 
When I think about the Stanley Parable, I don't think about where and how I installed the game files. I just care about the actual game. Distinguishing the original by the remastered version just because of that detail is silly.
 
2:02 PM
I don't remember when it was released, either.
I remember that it wasn't a full game, though.
 
@FEichinger It was short perhaps.
 
@Fluttershy So...worse than Aquaman?
 
@badp No, I mean, I remember that it wasn't standalone/normal released title, etc.
is how I would've tagged a question about it, knowing there was a remake.
I certainly wouldn't have thought "Oh, it was released in ... 2011? Or was it 2010? ... Hm. Might've been 2009, too. Ah, the tag is 2011, well, I'll go with that, then!"
 
Yeah, that's why we can rename tags afterwards
 
Sim City was different in that regard, in that both of them were fully fledged titles.
 
2:05 PM
so that they can make sense afterwards
 
@badp Yes, so we tag it as then, because that's the way that makes sense when asking a question about it. o.ô
 
@FEichinger No, it doesn't make sense tagging games based on their installation requirements
 
@badp BRB removing all console-specific tags.
I definitely wouldn't look for the release date out of all things if I were to tag a new question for an old game that received a remake in the meantime.
 
I, for one, would be fine either of your proposed solutions.
 
@FEichinger dude, we have SYNONYMS and AUTO COMPLETION lists. We can basically make it so that it doesn't matter what you think when you type in the tag, we get the RIGHT TAG
If you really think that a -mod suffix can be helpful, it can be a synonym of the right tag.
You just type in "stanley parable" and you get a box that says "2011" and "2013". And the question just is, "is it the older or the newer version?"
or you click just on what you typed and then we assume that it's the newer version
it is not very difficult or counter intuitive
so long as you can compare 2011 and 2013
which I assume is easier than recalling where you installed a game two years ago

@badp I sincerely doubt there's anyone that doesn't remember that TSP was a mod originally.

@Sterno 'clean the house' yeah.
It's a weekend but she says I'm supposed to be doing 9 to 5 work at home apparently
So now they're going to move my PC downstairs 'where we can police it better'
 
It sounds like, in their eyes, they're trying to figure out ways to motivate you to get a a job, and probably think "he plays games all day and that's why he doesn't have one"
 
I've been applying to tons of places
 
They're parents. They won't be happy until you actually get one.
 
And then I still won't be allowed to play games
 
I bet that would change.
If not, all the more reason to try to save up for your own place.
Ultimately, their goal is for you to be able to be independent. They love you. They want that to happen. They don't really know how to help or encourage it necessarily, though. Some things they do will be smart and others will be dumb.
 
4:50 PM
I'm 21 years old, what the hell is wrong with me.

Most people don't get a job right after they finish school.
 
@Wipqozn A good job.
 
4:51 PM
@GnomeSlice If by "good" you mean "relevant to my degree" then yes.
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, that
 
Despite what the school admins may have said people don't stroll out of school into a job.
They just say that to increase admission.
 
I don't even have a bottom feeder job
 
Didn't you only start applying to jobs last week?
 
yes
 
4:52 PM
One week is barely anytime.
 
Here's the problem a parent faces. They love their kid and want them to succeed. They also realize that they won't be around forever to help out. They want to see you be independent, able to afford your own place, live life without them, etc. Not that they don't want you in their life... it's about them wanting to feel like if they're not there, you'll be okay. They probably want to see you busting your ass trying to get a job, and are worried you might be waiting for one to fall into your lap.
 
most "bottom feeder" jobs hire people en masse. They usually only do hiring a few times a year, and then just keep all the resumes they get until then.
 
I'm not saying you're not working hard at it. The point is, they probably see it as the single most important thing you should be doing right now.
So if you dedicate 2 hours a week to the endeavor and play video games the rest, that might be where their fear comes in.
I'm making up numbers, by the way. They'll always perceive it less than it is. You'll probably always perceive it as a lot.
 
user58869
 
Yeah that makes sense
 
4:55 PM
What it really boils down to is that they want to feel like you take it as seriously as they do.
 
Listen to @Sterno, he's a parent. He knows stuff.
 
My wife's twin brother is 33 and lives at home
I'm not sure that situation will ever change.
His parents hate that he does it but also totally enable it.
When they die, he's screwed.
 
My uncle lived at home until my grandmother died a couple years ago
he's still in the house because it hasn't sold yet
he doesn't know what to do
he's like in his 50's
 
I seem him about twice a year, Christmas and 4th of July or so. Every single time he talks about how he's looking hard for a job but can't find anything he likes.
 
@Sterno 'anything he likes'
 
4:57 PM
@GnomeSlice Right.
 
@Sterno That's got to be the most common excuse use.
 
It started out "anything with my degree" (which is teaching)
Although we all have doubts about whether or not he actually ever graduated.
The point is, it's pretty obvious to everyone that becoming self-sufficient is not a goal he holds.
 
I just don't have the confidence to do anything on my own
 
I also had a roommate like that. He was basically living off money his parents gave him. He stopped paying me rent and I didn't mind, because I was making plenty and he said he was lookign for a job. Only, he really wasn't. He applied like 3 places. He was a good friend and fun to live with so I didn't really mind much, but eventually I sat him down and said I needed rent or he needed to move out. Not because of the money, but because i felt like I was enabling him
That was not a fun conversation
