@3ventic You sound annoyed.

@3ventic Your giant sigh a few minutes ago is what sounded annoyed

must... resist urge... to... lifelog...

ah stuff it

@RedRiderX Nifty

:-D

ack all these Google smiles have noses.

@RedRiderX Nice snow. Too bad the car is in the way and will probably turn the white snow into greyish goo.

Chemical and Process Engineering

Proposed Q&A site for a community for Chemical and Process Engineers to discuss plant design, equipment design, control systems, simulation and modeling, but also fundementals such as thermodynamics and transport phenomena. Also includes plant economics.

Currently in definition.

Automatic or manual?

... So, we're seriously keeping twitch-plays-pokemon?

@FEichinger Of course. Why would we delete the tag when there are questions about it?

Well, then, let's see what stupid questions I can ask with this new definition of "video game" ...

18 mins ago, by badp

I love it when people get in the "THIS CAN'T BE THE POLICY YOU ARE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO ASK DUMB QUESTIONS" mentality. If it's really dumb, people won't be asking about it in the first place. This usually ends up in people asking dumb questions in protest, creating the same problem they wish to avert but has not really manifested itself in 3½ years of activity.

2:12 PM

@badp Heh true

Also this is least snow we've had in weeks

@FEichinger We don't ban stupid.

@badp And I still disagree that this falls into our scope. It's localized as fuck, the "game" is a non-public mod, and the whole core of it is no longer video games. It happens to pipe into a video game.

It could just as well pipe into a browser and let twitch pick a website.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Is that suddenly on-topic as well? It does the exact same thing.

@FEichinger and the community disagrees. You're not going to agree with the community on every issue.

2:14 PM

@FEichinger It's localized but it's relevant now, so it's not too localized. Virtually all MMORPGs are not FOSS. The mechanics adapt to the needs of the videogame.

Q: The MOUT Course at the end of Basic Training in ArmA II is just acting?

0

Because my vehicle caught fire and I could have been injured.

arma-2

@Wipqozn I'm not seeing that "the community disagrees". We have a controversially voted meta that barely makes it into positive score.

Also, once TPP ends, it counts torwards our Dead Game policy, so we wouldn't have to delete the question.

CHECKMATE, ANARCHISTS.

@FEichinger Which also means the community doesn't feel strongly enough to ban it.

Dammit, but some of the best games are "dead"!

We got one of the Guise of the Wolf videos back so far - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB8YRafUfCY

We don't ban questions if there's controversy and there's no clear answer either way.

This is something different. The default should be we keep it open, unless there is a clear agreement otherwise.

"Banned" shouldn't be the default state for new questions.

which reminds me...

of some art I did in another place and another time.

Q: Why does reproduction fall off around ten years in?

1

I've played twice now about thirteen years of the game. It feels like my people are doing OK -- I can keep them at 4+ stars and 4+ hearts and they seem to start the game pregnant, so babies come up at first. But then, after a while; certainly by year 10, no more babies are born and the villager...

Ukraine: Video of police shooting AK-47 and sniper rifles at people

Jason Berkan

2:23 PM

@FEichinger I wish the community would stop arguing about whether TPP is on topic on my meta question. Am I really that unclear?

Demonstrators shot by snipers

@JasonBerkan I also explained why I disagree with the rest of your point. The fact that it happens to pipe the input into a video game doesn't make it any different from the same setup piping it into a browser.

That developer no one heard of that came out in support of Nintendo is making...a sports game

@JasonBerkan Asking the community to stop arguing about something is like asking the sun not to set.

Jason Berkan

@FEichinger You have successfully disagreed with me. Others have not.

Braiam

2:25 PM

@JasonBerkan it has the discussion, why you think we shouldn't disscuss?

Anyone else upload 1080p gaming videos to youtube? No longer sure what bitrate to use for high motion videos. 8000Kbps doesn't seem to be enough for FPS stuff

Q: Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI for PC: Enemy armies get an extra turn

In the PC version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI, enemy armies occasionally get an extra turn. Why does this happen? Can it be predicted? Can it be avoided?

Xbox One has a media remote now. Also it requires Kinect

@Wipqozn ...by the domed one.

@Blem no

@BenBrocka What's with that mute non-button icon?

That is so creepy.

Q: Soul Calibur 4 Tower of Souls

0

I can't seem to beat this tower of souls, going up. Is there a certain character and item combination that gives the proper stats to reach the top? Preferably a lot of defense, attack, and perhaps life vamp? I have a lot of the items but whenever I try, they just massively out-damage me, and ...

soul-calibur-4

@badp I'm not sure about that...it doesn't look like a button and it seems odd to make it an LED

Now I'm wondering if you can awkwardly play games with it like the PS3 blu ray remote

@Wipqozn Does pressing "up" from Fight not go to Item?

I thought it did.

@StrixVaria Not in gen 1 it seems/

Clearly this is a clever ruse

@Wipqozn For a second, I thought Red was looking at his Pokedex in that image.

@StrixVaria but.... how to pokeball?

@Sconibulus It's going to happen anyway

Q: How long will side-quests last for?

0

I've found myself in a bit of a pickle...I hopped aboard a helicopter ride after a certian quest. Early game spoiler: I had a few side-quests that weren't complete yet before hopping onto the helicopter. Are they still going to be completeable after I return? Are there any side-quests that ...

Therefore, does not apply to battles against wild Pokemon they want to catch.

Yeah, I don't think things are going to get better in Ukraine. At least not right away.

so many pictures i want to post, better stop and go back to work

@Yuki I'm disturbed by the whole situation, but I don't really have anything interesting to say on the topic. The net result seems to be that we're ignoring the whole shebang, which is even worse than the actual happenings, but at least for me, that's not what's happening.

Arperum

@Yuki I've read from some news website that the police/whoever is shooting doesn't really care who they hit. They shoot at journalists, medic helpers, childs, ... basically anyone.

@badp My problem is I don't what I can do to help, and even if I find a way to help I probably can't.

2:57 PM

@Yuki We don't even have a government right now that can take a stance on the situation.

ok, one more!
