@kalina yeah why not

badp

This community has rejected the idea of game recommendation being possible on SE; while there probably is a minority that think it's possible, attracting the majority to game recommendation questions on SE is not going to end well for everybody involved.

@kalina Well, though luck, because when you want a game rec, I'm going to list a few games. Also - OPINIONS!!!

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina well, the general games tag is already added isn't it? It should show up already

Ved

I am back as far as I know

badp

I encourage people who do believe in game recommendations on SE to simply subscribe to the relevant tag privately. And if our community's heart on the topic should change as a result of software recommendations.SE, then we should revise our own ban rather than outsource our traffic to a glorified garbage bin.

I agree that SR is a stupid site. But they definitely have an advantage: They can focus on recommendations.

@FEichinger Videogames is our vertical. Recommendations is an horizontal. If we really are a vertical then we must cover all feasible horizontals.

FEichinger

12:51 PM

Recommendations wouldn't flood the site with nonsense, because it's what their site is about.

badp

@FEichinger A site about nonsense is still filled with nonsense.

3ventic

Recommendations have standards, too.

badp

The whole idea about the site is that it's not nonsense.

FEichinger

We ban recommendations because we can't reasonably answer them in our format, because our format is different from the one SR picks - despite using the same engine.

@badp Bullshit. We like to whine about SF&F being oh-so-shit every other day, but it faces the exact same issue. It uses the engine for something else - and successfully so.

@Wipqozn I beg to differ - SF&F is inherently about lore. Remember, that part we have a hard time keeping on our site because people bitch about it every time it comes up? Same friggin issue.

@FEichinger "all feasible horizontals"

OrigamiRobot

@FEichinger No, that's an issue with what people think our scope should cover, not an issue with how they work in the SE engine.

kalina

I hadn't anticipated that two innocent questions would result in a heated discussion like this one

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot The issue with lore usually boils down to "we can't prove a negative", which is an engine issue - those questions would never get answered.

Wipqozn

the problem with SF isn't that it's about lore, but that they allow stupid thought experiment likes "Could a vampire be beamed onto the enterprise?".

kalina

Although the feedback is noted, if SR can't gain some experts on the subject matter of gaming from Arqade, it's probably best they made gaming recommendations off topic

badp

We have judged recommendations, plot extrapolation and memory-only identifications as unfeasible horizontals.

@FEichinger The solution is not to make a site for those horizontals, because SE is supposed to be a verticals engine.

FEichinger

1:03 PM

@badp Then what's the harm in another site making it work, because they inherently work differently?

OrigamiRobot

@FEichinger Well whoever uses that argument for all of lore is stupid.

It's quite obvious that well scoped, answerable lore questions exist in a format consistent with any other SE question.

3ventic

What something is supposed to be, and what it actually ends up being aren't always one and same, and they don't need to be.

badp

The idea that we can't and won't go back on our decisions is provably false

First we allowed all ITGs, then we banned all ITGs, now we just ban those that aren't tall enough to ride.

Braiam

guys you allow "Native First person shooter games?" questions?

Wipqozn

@kalina If a new SE site needs to depend on getting experts from already existing SE sites to survive then I think that's a sign it's going to fail.

FEichinger

1:06 PM

@OrigamiRobot Sure do. But we can't definitively remove those that aren't, because we can't prove that they're not answerable. But this is getting off topic.

badp

Three years ago we failed to find a suitable bar for game recs, so we went from allowing them all to banning them all.

Kevin van der Velden

@Braiam I'm not sure what native means in this regard?

Or uuh, context. Better word

badp

If we can define what "tall enough to ride" is then we should allow them back. That is all I am saying.

We've got experts on programming, security, gaming, web development, amongst other fields.

This kind of control is simply not there when you're using an online dating site.

Wipqozn

and this conversation is getting more friendly and constructive by the minute!

FEichinger

Q: Punch a user button!

Gotten frustrated with a user? Want to vent? Feel like punching them? Don't worry, here's a script that adds a "Punch" button to every gravatar. You can punch all the worst users now: Installation Click here to install. Will work in Chrome or Firefox (the latter requires Greasemonkey). S...

I might be asking a couple questions

Wandang

i just deleted a bunch of crap code from my coworker that did nothing

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina I am at work and not on steam =[

kalina

well you could post an email address on chat and then delete it

I'd need to copy it first

but I'm pretty sure you can just sign up to it

since I did it...

badp

1:47 PM

Yeah, I'm fairly certain there's a bug with private betas and whatnot

Wandang

@fredley IT DOES NOT WORK AAAAAARG

Sterno

Need an app that tells me if I left my garage door open

badp

When I did commit to Italian I was blocked on the "private beta" page anyway. I had to go through Area 51 every time anyway.

I wouldn't be surprised if the reverse happened too.

fredley

@Wandang QUICK TRY THIS

Q: Can you explain me the REAL difference between asking for the best softwares, some good softwares or some softwares?

The formal difference is obvious, and there is a strong difference in many contexts, but I can't see any difference in a website like this. Infact what are you expecting to read as an answer to the following questions? Can you list me the best software*s* to make a forensyc analysis of someon...

@Sterno This is the part where I make fun of you like you did to me with washing my hair.

Wandang

@fredley that was good thankx

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot Not even the same ballpark.

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno What? Yes it 100% is.

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot Yours is in a timespan of seconds, @sternold's is just a problem of age and memory failing after half an hour.

Sterno

Closing a garage door is a less than one second button press while performing other activities (such as tuning the radio for my daughter, pulling out of the driveway)

Washing your hair is at least a one minute activity

Q: HamStare: Basic automation for chat

Get it from Github! HamStare is the last word in disapproving stares. Now, roll your own! Out of the box is how it is configured for me, but if you have a little knowledge of Javascript (or not), it should be straightforward to modify it for your own use. Protip: Test your modified script in Th...

Sterno

wherein there generally isn't much else you could be doing

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno You must have a lot of hair.

Sterno

I think you're showering wrong.

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno You literally just have to look.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot I agree! Unfortunately my house is 20 minutes from work. Looking is hard.

Arperum

1:52 PM

@OrigamiRobot That doesn't work once you rounded a corner.

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno Do you pull out of the driveway with your eyes closed? That's dangerous.

FAE

@OrigamiRobot It's the doubt that creeps up on you later.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot I do not face the garage as I pull out of the driveway.

kalina

@Sterno washing your hair is at least a ten minute activity

badp

@fredley tl:dr;

FAE

1:53 PM

The same thing that makes Jochem have to walk back and check the car door every single time we walk away from it.

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno Your car doesn't have mirrors? That's dangerous.

FAE

Or the front door.

fredley

@badp Good

FAE

Or anything he has keys to.

badp

@fredley or: I wasn't expecting that piece of JS to be that complex

Arperum

1:53 PM

@FAE I know the feel.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot I don't think you're understanding the part about not wanting to know this until a few minutes after I've left.

Wandang

@manis your punch addon does not work

@OrigamiRobot That doesn't work once you rounded a corner.

fredley

@badp The actual function is at the bottom. All of the crap up top is just livequery

parse() is where the magic happens

Sterno

Honestly I wouldn't care but the door between the garage and kitchen is, I am certain, unlocked.

OrigamiRobot

1:54 PM

@Sterno Just like I don't think you understand my situation. See? 100% the same.

FAE

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot I would understand your situation a lot more if later in the day you couldn't remember if you washed your hair.

I shall continue to make fun of you. Deal with it!

badp

@FAE me and car doors, every time

Kevin van der Velden

Well that was interesting, my keyboard just stopped working

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno That was the exact situation!

Arperum

1:55 PM

@FAE I found out this week that one of the doors of my house was unlocked for most of january >_<

FAE

@badp Yeah, Jochem and every single thing he locks ever. I wish I had a dollar for every time he asked me, "Did I lock the door?"

badp

I'm just happy that I've managed to lose my home keys in neither of my 6-month renting stints.

FAE

@Arperum Ack!

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot Really? I thought you were saying that literally like one minute after washing your hair, while still in the shower, you had to wash it again (often) because you couldn't remember if you'd done it.

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno That is how I prevent the future doubt.

Like pressing the lock button on your car more times than you need to.

fredley

1:57 PM

Hmmm, thedogehousediaries.com is available...

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot I see. I had misunderstood your complaint.

We're in agreement then. Let's be besties.

Kevin van der Velden

@FAE simple solution! Take his keys away from him :D

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno Sorry, @Wipqozn is my bestie. You can be 2nd bestie.

Kevin van der Velden

Just install a pressure plate in front of the door, it works in minecraft right?

Sterno

I wonder if they make matching outfits for 2nd besties

Arperum

1:58 PM

@KevinvanderVelden But there are no personal pressure plates anymore, they trigger for anyone.

badp

@kalina Sam is really taking his psychology numbo-jumbo seriously, and since it's written in Italian I got to skim the start of that document in the original language to boot.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum fine personal pressure plate with lazers behind it

badp

I hope the twitching is for "softwares" though.

fredley

@Sterno It would have to be an outfit that could be worn on top of matching 1st bestie attire

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley it's just 1st bestie attire with the 1 crossed out and replaced by a poorly drawn 2

kalina

1:59 PM

@badp yeah totally
