@Shog9 I would only add Game Design/Dev to that list, but yeah, those are our big problems, pretty much.
If you were to weight those results by date, I'd guess that rec drops way down and ID rises way up.
Speculation needs to be on the list
so much speculation
@kalina Could potentially be thrown in with the trivia/history one.
I don't want potential, I want definitive
*cracks whip*
I like trivia questions!
=[
@GnomeSlice Then go play Trivial Pursuit?
00:02
@GnomeSlice is off topic on Arqade
8
@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, I just looked at the last... 90 or so questions closed as OT, I think... so it's possible some of those weren't entirely current.
@Yuki hahahahahaha, oh my zeus. That's fantastic. You just made my day.
Actually no, seeing The Nutcracker made my day.
but that is a nice addition to it.
also, I'm kind of running around the house so I'm not able to fully follow what's going ion, but I just wanted to chime in to say you're not the only one that was under the misconception we could not have more than three close reasons, @LessPop_MoreFizz. In fact I'm fairly certain there was a long discussion in chat when the new reasons were introduced about how the upper limit of 3 just wasn't enough.
@Wipqozn there was
Okay I kind of see what you guys mean now

Q: Who sings "Want You Gone" by Jonathan Coulton?

user390480What is the name of the singer who sings the Portal 2 song "Want You Gone" by Jonathan Coulton?

There's no appropriate close reason for this.
Pretty easy to type one into 'other' though.
@Wipqozn sigh... From the meta post it is increasingly obvious no-one read:
00:08
@GnomeSlice "THIS! IS! NOT! YAHOO! ANSWERS!"
This question appears to be off-topic because it is about a singer — GnomeSlice 1 min ago
@kalina ?
> Large lists make selection tedious and difficult. Fortunately, most sites do not attract an extremely high volume of off-topic questions, and those that are asked tend to be about a relatively small number of topics - therefore, we limit the number of active reasons to 3.
> A few sites do get a regular influx of off-topic questions in a larger number of distinct categories; if you find this to be the case on your site, post a feature-request on your meta site with examples of questions that would benefit from a predefined off-topic option - we'll verify the need for this and work with you to make more reasons available.
@Shog9 some people just don't read
anyway, actually gone this time
night!
Are you guys going to help me close this or what
@Shog9 Yeah, that wasn't there when we were told "COME UP WITH THREE YOU ASSHOLES"
00:10
I should just link to it from the "edit OT reasons" screen.
Someone told me that.
They said, "No one will read this unless you link to it from the edit screen"
I laughed.
I'm dumb.

Guys, pay attention to me

@Shog9 I'm sorry, I don't follow MSO on a daily basis, I only really swing over there if I need something.
@GnomeSlice no...
Since, y'know, I don't actually use SO, so at least 50% of it is complete noise to me.
@GnomeSlice Why are we closing it?
00:11
@LessPop_MoreFizz I didn't really expect everyone everywhere to read it. Just the folks who we send a periodic newsletter with important changes listed in it to.
@Fluttershy Isn't it trivia or whatever?
This question appears to be off-topic because it is about a singer — GnomeSlice 5 mins ago
@GnomeSlice I don't even know anymore. Anyway, food time!
@Fluttershy Yeah, you're probably right
@Shog9 Note that I am not such a person, and our wonderful moderators never bothered to inform us of this fact. So... yeah.
just leave it alone
I wish I could retract my close vote
Oh, I can!
nice
00:12
@LessPop_MoreFizz You should consider subscribing to the newsletter. Grace Note writes it, and it's full of useful tidbits.
something something about the steady decline of diamond communication over time.
foodtime for me too
Last month, I learned how to get salt stains off of my tires. Just in time for the winter months. Really, worth a subscription at twice the price.
@Shog9 There's a newsletter?
Gimme!
facepalm
00:14
@Shog9 What, why are you doing that
@GnomeSlice It's a diamond newsletter, so I assume you'd have to be a mod to get it.
the link... was still on the screen when you wrote that.
I mean, maybe you have a very small screen. I shouldn't assume.

@LessPop_MoreFizz You should consider subscribing to the newsletter. Grace Note writes it, and it's full of useful tidbits.
All I saw was that
I came back from another tab
And he's not a mod

@LessPop_MoreFizz I didn't really expect everyone everywhere to read it. Just the folks who we send a periodic newsletter with important changes listed in it to.
My bad, that's what he meant.
00:15
@GnomeSlice I do tend to get mistaken for one.
I wish I could contribute to these discussions but for some reason I've never been able to really grasp StackEechange.
food
beer
@GnomeSlice I find it's easiest to hold onto it by the x.
@LessPop_MoreFizz oh okay
00:17
@Shog9 This is a good idea.
what? no. That bit's all pokey. Grab it by the S.
also, slightly off-topic: Are there plans to have a new Arqade Moderator election in 2014?
We normally have it in the next couple months iirc.
@Wipqozn what, did you wear out last year's already?
@GnomeSlice Are you just going to repost this every time it goes off the screen?
@Shog9 We didn't get any last year.
00:18
@Shog9 We didn't actually have one last year.
oh god...
Clearly, this means we need to elect two moderators in 2014.
We've gone a long time without fresh blood, and tbqh, it's kind of starting to show. :/
@FEichinger oh. I just saw "2012" and didn't go any further.
00:19
@Yuki I was curious, so I had to check the transcript, so I'm going to say: @GnomeSlice Posting the same link multiple times within a short term period is exactly the reason why people say you spam links, and get mad at you for it.
@Shog9 Well, yeh, there's the whole part about there not being one in 2013. :P
You've said you are planning to "stop doing things which make people mad at you", so I'd just thought I'd point that out to you.
@Wipqozn And if anything, means I won't get it, just for sheer cussedness.
I'm going to go ahead and nominate @MarkTrapp for mod 2014.

@FEichinger So long, Ronnie. NEVAR FORGET.
00:21
@MARKTRAPP FOR PRESIDENT
@Yuki Maybe vice president. Ronnie will always be the president of my heart.
He is, after all, pro much.
@LessPop_MoreFizz RONNIE/@MARKTRAPP 2014

The Pro We Can Believe In. Much.
I'd campaign just on the grounds of, "Not ronnie"
now, unstar the other chat and star this ^
> You now have 99.25 GB on Dropbox
Why, thank you, Dropbox. o.ô
And thank you HTC for pushing that Android update, I suppose.

Q: Does changing your name when your dating affect the entire town

Memor-XWhen i started dating Iroha, during the scene she says how she dream of calling the person she is with by another name when i went to change the name i though she was referring to her name being changed but when it came up with my name i just reconfirmed it (in other words saying i want my name ...

@Lazers One of these "your"s should not be a "your".
@FEichinger apostrophe's are hard dude.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Seems more like any form of punctuation is hard.
There are three(!!!) commas in that question.
@FEichinger Given the asker, not surprised.
That is an avatar I've come to dread.
00:34
Also only one period ... Which marks an abbreviation.
@FEichinger there is something hilarious to me about "Also only one period [three periods]"
(Yes I know it's an ellipsis and it's being used to indicate a pause, but I stand by my statement.)
.... xD
@FEichinger there, now gimme the 2 rep!
btw, is strange that nobody said anything about the i's...
@Braiam Are you friggin kidding me?
You think I'd ramble about this here if I wasn't already editing it?
Well, I probably would ... But still! Timing!
@FEichinger I was faster....
and I started when LessPop said "Given the asker... bla"
00:39
And I was busy typing here, so it took longer!
THE EDIT SHALL BE CUT IN HALF
@LessPop_MoreFizz Do you happen to still have a link to that NWN2 LP you sent me last time?
@Wipqozn SE doesn't support that, I'm afraid.
AVG overrode my browser settings and I lost it.
@FEichinger I was bussy eating nachos!!!!!!
mine is more important than yours... by 50 times!
00:41
Your edit has already been rejected. DEAL WITH IT.
@fbueckert it's on lparchive.com
Just search. It's the one by Lt. Danger.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Found it. Thanks!
His mask Lp in particular is a masterpiece of video game criticism in the academic/literary sense of that word.
00:56
Oh wow, PvZ2 with 75 starting sun, dual sunflowers and turbo mode is so broken
That said I dunno if you can still get extra starting sun without micro transactions anymore
...but turbo mode doesn't actually speed the background music up, and that's really disappointing
Hello all.
I think I've finally caught up with the chat. xDDD
I was going to look for @fbueckert ranting about "xD" ... But that actually never happened. You disappoint me, @fbueckert.
@FEichinger Either distracted, or doesn't care. xP
Soooo... I have a question y'all might be able to answer. Or at least someone might.
If I change my profile picture on one SE site, is there a way to keep it from changing on others? I ask this because I use SO for work, but Arqade is for just me.
01:16
@Sterno You missed drama.
Drama involving SE employees!
It was an extra tasty flavour of drama.
@FAE we do that sometimes for fun. But we haven't actually cut it yet. I'm worried she might be like Samson and if I cut her hair I'll rob her of her power.
@Kendra Ask @GraceNote, she does that with almost every site.
@Wipqozn I read it. Meh.
@FEichinger Is she on right now, do you know?
01:19
(Yes, I just pinged you for the sake of distracting you from whatever you're doing and pulling you here to respond to something completely unrelated again, @GraceNote :D )
@Kendra I hope so, otherwise this joke falls flat.
@FEichinger I hope so to. I've forgotten to ask several times now. xDDD

Q: Are there grounds for getting an extra custom reason close slot?

badpLessPop's close reason was rejected recently by Shog for being too generic and catch-all, but we can only do so much with our three given slots. Here's what we cover(ed) in our close reasons again: No piracy, no speculation about future, no unreasonably private betas No game design, no game dev...

Q: Will there be a 2013/14 moderator election?

RobotnikDisclaimer: I have nothing against the current mods. (No banhammers please). I was reviewing the 2011 & 2012 Moderator elections, and noticed that they were both run in January of the respective year. Now, I only have a very general concept of time (so bear with me), but I believe January has ...

@Sterno Thanks.
@Kendra as far you don't click "copy my profile" or you use gravatar for all your accounts or something, yes, your pic will be exclusive of that se account
01:30
@Braiam Thanks! I wanted to be sure before making my minecraft house my pic. xDD
@fbueckert dude have you heard of chroma squad
@Kendra Your chat (gr)avatar is determined by whichever SE site you choose as your "parent user" in your chat.stackexchange profile.
@Kendra Yeah, just don't click 'save and copy to all sites'
Thanks for the info, folks! ^^ I felt my minecraft house was more than adaquete for a pic for Arqade. Not so much for work. xDDD
I may have posted this before, tough.
01:41
Hey people who like Night Vale:
> Oh, and really, really big news coming in the intro to the next episode.
> I can honestly say it's the most exciting news of my entire life so far, and I can't talk about it at all until Sunday.
Oh, right, Sunday's the 15th.
Dammit, so much catching up to do ...
I've given up listening to Night Vale
can't keep up with it
I don't feel like listening to it and then I can't download it

Q: Is Harvest Moon a New Begining related to Harvest Moon DS?

Q: Is there a fast way to get to the bottom of the Death Star?

Andrew LarnedIn Tiny Death Star, you can get to the top of your tower by tapping on the top of the screen while avoiding the "Add Level" button. However, the only way I can find to go to the bottom of the tower is to wait for someone to want an elevator ride, and tap on the button to give them that ride. Is t...

@AnnaLear stuff
02:12
Hmm... should I do a Hardcore, Oxycore, or Bad Moon run next?
@Yuki Bad Oxy-Moon-Core on Hard. =D
@Yuki Bad Moon.
@Kendra Oxycore is pretty much Hardcore except for the fact that you can't eat or drink things.
@Yuki Oh I figured there was something to it. I just wanted to answer all without saying all. xDDD
It's kinda my thing.
Oh, btw @ToxicFrog do you have stairs in your house, or did I encounter another noxious amphibian today?
02:16
Okay, my pic is changed on my profile, why is it not changed here? =/
Hmmm... Disco Bandit, Accordion Thief, Pastamancer, or Sauceror?
@Kendra Takes some time, it's not instant.
@Yuki Oh, alright. xDDD I was gonna say... But if it takes time then that's fine.
If it doesn't change within five minutes, just refresh the page.
There we go! I was asking cause it'd been at least twenty minutes. Didn't think of refreshing... xDDD
Oooo, shiny Umbreon.
02:19
My fave house that I've made by far. Dug him out of a mountain. ^^
His name is Shadow.
Yay, friend has successfully formed babby.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Is that a good game? =D Or is it a weapon? What kinda damage? =D
@LessPop_MoreFizz Whoa, that's cool!
@Kendra Well, I know they gave her some giant dice to hang out with him her crib and the d20 rolled a natural 20 the first time they tossed it in, so probably pretty good damage on the crit.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ooooh, that one's a keeper =D
02:30
Dubba Jonny really knows how to make a bassline
@GnomeSlice Basslines make me sick. D< Jk. xDDD
@Kendra ಠ_ಠ
@GnomeSlice In all honesty, loud bass makes it hard for me to breath. Sooo...
@Kendra I feel bad for you. =[
@GnomeSlice At least someone does. The assholes around here just turn it up louder. Which even without that makes it hard for a girl to get any sleep!
02:34
@Kendra Dorm?
Apartments.
loud bass is the best :) fabric (the nightclub) has a dnb room with the subs in the floor
Directly across from a college. xDDD
that was fun, i almost hurled when i stepped onto the dance floor
02:35
Well I moved here when I was going to the college. xDD Just graduated in May.
Nice, me too
In a bit. YOu caught me in lps again. xP
didn't have to move though
although the most fun was when i was taking photos at a festival, and i walked into the photo pit, which was directly infront of the sub bins. it was so loud my vision split into 3 parts from the harmonics. (i was wearing earplugs)
Oh, hah
02:36
this has some wonderful sub bass in it
which youtube will probably completly strip
@MattD shockone and reija are the shit
More Reija Lee ^
some of shock one's stuff is ace
some is so so
I don't listen to a ton of DnB
but he's tight with Phetsta
so that's okay with me ;]
swiftly plugs in headphones and switched to classic rock I HEAR NO DUBSTEP!!!
meh, thats brostep anyway ;)
02:37
@MattD Oh you're one of those people
mkay
;]
@MattD Most insane sub bass I've heard in a track so far is this one soundcloud.com/ninjastep/production-line
hehe, i listen to a lot of youngsta, and d-bridge and what not :) at the moment i've been mainlining surgeon (soundcloud.com/dynamic-tension) rinse fm is quite a fun source of music.
bass in music is quite interesting, as there's on so much "energy" you can squeeze in there without it sounding like crap. the more bass you add, the more everything else fights it. its about balance ;) and harmonics ;).. taking the hard rock pov, what most people think is guitar is actually bass. but hey we wont spoil the magic ;)
@MattD Chasing Shadows are the kings of cramming way too much bass into something without everything else sounding like shit
Case:
BWAAAAAAA
man
not chasing shadows, but still dope

Q: Where is the missing Teensie?

Doozer BlakeIn Rayman Fiesta Run I've managed to unlock each Invaded mode, and gotten 4 Teensies from each level. However, I'm still left with one missing node to open up the last skull level I've been over the map again and again, and I don't appear to be missing a Teensie from any level. I haven't collect...

02:50
..it's perfectly acceptable--and hilarious-- to ridicule a child.
@LessPop_MoreFizz hahahahaha
According to WebMD, the number one cause of anxiety is WebMD.
@GnomeSlice I love that his intention was the exact opposite, but his chopped up multi-twet rant got chopped in exactly the wrong way.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, I can't see the previous tweet
@GnomeSlice you could if you wanted to go digging two years back into a feed with over 15,000 tweets in it...
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, no thanks.
I probably don't need to see the actual tweet to imagine the intended context.
@LessPop_MoreFizz So I started watching The Boondocks
02:55
@GnomeSlice meh
The first episode had a clearly drawn, waggling old man penis in it
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh I thought you said you watched it
I've seen it...
I mainly miss the newspaper comic strip, which, in it's heyday, was pretty great.
the cartoon was never anything special.
Yeah, it's okay. Had some moments, but eh
Best cartoon
@LessPop_MoreFizz By the way, have you played a game called Papers, Please?
Something you may enjoy if not
It's... interesting.
@GnomeSlice Such a good game.
I only got my hands on it recently.
Really engaging
03:04
Have you read up on it, or just going in blind?
Blind, although I used the wiki for a couple things. I may have spoiled some stuff for myself
Just play, you'll see.
@Slurpee What kind of games are you into?
I'll try just about anything, but mostly FPSs, exploration/survival (starbound, minecraft and the like), and open-world adventures.
You?
@Slurpee Indie games mostly. In fact almost exclusively lately. No particular genre.
Seen this one?
Might want to keep an eye on it. ;]

Q: Do Hearthsone ranked games affect casual opponent selection?

Dustin RasenerAs I rank up in ranked games, do my casual opponents also get tougher? That is, does my rank have any bearing on the casual matching system?

Check out the 'about' page
and be amazed
@Slurpee And have you played Don't Starve?
Absolutely, I really enjoy that.
I couldn't get into Don't Starve for some reason. I played it for a bit and got bored.
I used to play Minecraft a shitload but I haven't played that in a while either.
@Slurpee What about Darkout?
Saw that, then started playing Starbound :P
@GnomeSlice You got bored with Don't Starve because you didn't enjoy the most fundamental element of the game. :P

@Fluttershy I dunno, I ran around and everything looked the same!
I did find a pig with an outhouse who pooped everywhere
@Fluttershy By the way, did you back The Long Dark yet?
@GnomeSlice No. My WiiU put a bit of a hold on backing stuff. <_<
@Fluttershy D=
I mean cool, you got a WiiU!
Yeah! And it's awesome. :3
I got the Wind Waker edition.
What games?
Ohhh sick
Wind Waker HD and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.
Which is likely all I need until a new Metroid or Zelda comes out.
Which may be never.
03:21
Wind Waker is still my favourite Zelda game
Anybody want to play Recon Arena with me?
I need some human interaction, such as it is
It's a crappy web based FPS which is actually pretty fun because of all the shittiness
Anyone? =[

Q: How do I perform an instant-kill mêlée attack?

NiteCyperIn Tomb Raider multiplayer, there's this one player who is able to kill me with a semi-cinematic mêlée animation that isn't a stealth kill. Whenever I perform a mêlée attack, I just deal damage but not an animation like theirs. How do they do it?

yeah i managed to repair my graphiccard i guess. it did run fluently yesterday evening. i may be able to play some dota 2 again tomorrow
@Wandang Repair? Did you bake it?
@5pike nah never baked a gc before
