@Rob keep in mind, depending on the popularity of the alpha/beta you might not get an answer for some time

3ventic

I bet I'll have serial upvote reverted tomorrow

lol

kalina

@3ventic I've only voted for you twice, takes more than that to trigger

if 20 people all vote on something at the same time that's not the same thing

3ventic

Someone's voted more than that

boo

Hmmm

Wandang

k then i wont do another suggestion

because i dont get the cleanup

Rob

11:01 AM

@kalina Yes, thats a possibility. Their own forums are probably a better place for questions I suppose, but I;'d like a little more Rep if I can.

Wandang

it says using dictionary method and the example of minecraft does not provide it in body or header

kalina

@Wandang in the instance of the dota2 tag, it already follows the format, if you're just adding to it there shouldn't be a problem as long as you get it in the right place

@Wandang dictionary method = don't start your tag details with "Minecraft is..."

3ventic

I was supposed to do something but I forgot

kalina

ie: you're on the minecraft tag, you don't need to announce it again in the tag wiki

Wandang

the example does

kalina

11:02 AM

@3ventic you were supposed to forget

3ventic

@kalina shouldn't matter though, the "Tag is" is stripped automatically

Rob

@kalina Forget what?

3ventic

Good question @Rob

Wandang

need to work for a few min again

kalina

@Wandang that's not an example, it's a screenshot of the tag in the state it was in when the cleanup started

pay more to the answer that is accepted than the question for an understanding of what tag wikis are intended to look like

Rob

11:03 AM

@3ventic I'm full of them. Perhaps I should post a few....

@Rob you should, especially if I can answer them (and ninja them from @Arperum)

Q: What is the music played in this room in Postal 2?

that tumbleweed hat is going to be difficult to get on arqade

yes but it's not something you can just summon up that reliably

best ask something obscure on SO tbh

3ventic

I could ask something really weird on SO

kalina

weird will attract attention

you want mundane

3ventic

No, I mean. Weird as in no one knows what I'm talking about

but something that looks professional

It has to be something hard to answer too, otherwise it will get an answer

Q: Is there a way to disable screen bob/shake?

In Tomb Raider, running, jumping, explosions, taking damage, etc. cause the screen to shake. I think that it's contributing to nausea. Others have voiced the same complaint. I can't find a setting to turn this off, like in Minecraft. Is there a way to disable it, even via editing the game files?
