> You need to have a specific problem. You, not anyone else, not an idea you have that could be a problem. It needs to be specific and you need to state your very problem in your question. SE is best at solving actual problems, don't skip that part.

That's requiring everything to be too localized.

Wipqozn

@Arperum eh, not really. Think you're just reading too much into it.

We have the same thing, basically, if only unofficially.

It needs to be an actual problem you face, and don't be vague. Give us details.

"I can't beat the game" is not good question

"I can't beat the boss" is better, but not great

Arperum

@Wipqozn Ah, yea, point made.

Wipqozn

"I can't beat the boss because of X" is a great question

Kentucky doesn't, for example. Your insurance pays for your car and your expenses.

@OrigamiRobot Heretic. Coffee must be drunk black.

fredley

If you're not drinking espresso, you're doing it wrong

Origami Robot

I don't see the point in that.

Frank

@JasonBerkan Indeed.

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Because coffee is delicious, and if you weaken it with sugar/milk you don't get to taste it properly?

If your coffee doesn't taste delicious, you're making it wrong

MBraedley

@JasonBerkan I can't do that. Maybe it's just because I don't drink top quality coffee, but I need some milk to take the edge off the taste.

fredley

13:56

Get 100% Arabica, brew it right

If you're not getting a thick full head of crema you're doing it wrong

Jason Berkan

@MBraedley A little bit of cream/milk is better than sugar, IMO. But I dislike mixing flavours (i.e. bitter + sweet).

Origami Robot

There is no bitter when I'm done with it.

If I wanted bitter, I'd just eat baking soda.

MBraedley

@JasonBerkan And I use sugar too, but only one pack. When I'm making it at least. Tim's and McDonald's coffee I take double-double.

Kevin van der Velden

@MBraedley One pack*?

MBraedley

@KevinvanderVelden a teaspoon

Kevin van der Velden

I just imagined that in a cup of coffee

I imagine it should at least be drinkable then

Or... chewable maybe

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot yeah i got one really early on too, i think it does that on purpose to get you started. the store in this game is rather dumb. you need a furnace(500k) to smelt, but to use the furnace you need oilpump(100k), but you cant even use the oilpump without piping(5mil).

@Sterno Putting his head down and charging into the middle of enemies isn't a berzerker mentality?

Wipqozn

@Lazers 1. I'm pretty sure he's lying about actually owning the games, and 2. Even if he did, any answer would just be "Piracy 101".

Jason Berkan

In Warhammer fantasy, the dwarf berserkers are crazy dwarves attempting to die to the biggest possible monster, so they mindlessly charge anything big and dangerous.

Frank

@Wipqozn He has a bit of a point with the free games, but you're right about #2. The only real answer we could allow is, "You can't." And that's not very useful at all.

Frank

@Yuuki Unclear...what @Sterno said.

Sterno

He's wondering what's in the game that he hasn't done

That's not developer intent.

But it's certainly unanswerable in its current form

Frank

15:01

But doesn't tell us what he has done, other than, "Completed all goals".

Frank

15:02

@Sterno Blame @Wipqozn

Wipqozn

The only thing I can think of is if by "Goals" he means an actual in-game list of goals.

Sterno

@Wipqozn probably

Wipqozn

In that case, we could answer the question.

If he can clear it up we can reopen.

Yuuki

I guess. But opinion-based is definitely right out.

Frank

@Yuuki I could see it, actually.

"Hey, I've done everything! What else can I do?"

Wipqozn

15:06

I believe we have questions like that on the site already.

Frank

@Wipqozn Some, yes.

I believe there's one for Pokemon X/Y.

Wipqozn

But if there is an actual list of in-game goals I could see it making sense.

Honestly, most questions for the dwarf-esque type games I can see working for those questions

Frank

@Wipqozn I couldn't see it working for Dwarf Fortress.

Wipqozn

Although the answers would basically all be the same. "You set your own goals, here are a few examples to give you ideas".

Frank

It's too open ended to be able to provide decent answers.

Wipqozn

15:09

@Frank I'm looking at it from the POV of not "Give me some ideas of what to do in this game" and more "What do I even do in this game?". People who aren't used to these no objective just do what you want games will go in having no order what they're suppose to do

The answer is "Do what you want."

They're not great questions, but I do think "What am I supposed to do", in a game without any objetives and is pure do what you want, is a legit question we can answer.

Frank

@Wipqozn I understand your viewpoint, and I don't think Arqade is a good place to give primers on games. It's far too broad to really be all that useful.

@Wipqozn And this is one of the main reasons I'm not a fan. This is, in all honestly, a pretty terrible answer.

Yuuki

Hmm... now I'm thinking I shouldn't have VTC'd that question, at least not on the reason I gave.

Jason Berkan

Choosing the wrong VTC reason is a pretty small thing to concern yourself with.

LessPop_MoreFizz

> Swedes Are Going Nuts For This Kids' Song About Genitals

Wipqozn

@Frank Well, yes, because it's lacking in detail. A good answer to that question would be more fleshed out. Something more like "The game is goaless by design. The player is intended to make their own objectives, and their own fun. Some players just have fun trying to make their fortress as large as they can, others try to build a fortress in seeminglly impossible situations, and some people just try to make crazy in-game dwarf powered inventions.

@KevinvanderVelden what are you doing on an internet chat website about videogames then?

@Unionhawk i still am always amused at cats' extent of problem solving is nothing more than just "move backwards".

There are two factions at war in Fail-Deadly, and both of them are your enemy. As a shadowy third party, your goal is to goad both factions into mutually assured destruction, thus paving the way for your own nefarious scheme. It's a simple RTS in which you play both sides, trying to keep the battle alive -- but nobody victorious -- long enough for both factions' nuclear arsenals to come online.

@badp oh if you're saying what I think you're saying then I agree, but, well. This is the world we live in, playboy is ... playboy, it is the go to name for that sort of thing

That actually sounds pretty neat

@Unionhawk Doesn't play as well as it sounds, sadly.

Kevin van der Velden

I'm not saying anything about blocking! I'm saying you should warn people that "Hey, if your workplace is strict about this sort of thing, this site will raise all sorts of red flags so maybe not click it"

GnomeSlice

It's like a card game where you only get one card at a time, and you just decide where it goes on the field.

Q: Darksiders messed up?

All tips and tutorials got reset along with Samael's prison too. The shaft is open but Samael isn't there. I was on the mission to return the Stygian's heart to Samael. What I did before was that I used one of the save game editors which was made for Xbox 360. I am playing on PC and was barely ab...

@GnomeSlice seems quite fun, but the UI could use some improvements

good UI is very important, imho :/

GnomeSlice

It would be nice if it gave you a choice between several units instead of just one

GnomeSlice

@Chippies If either team wins the war, you lose.

Chippies

GnomeSlice

@Chippies Time spent on tutorials is time you could have spent playing!

Chippies

@Unionhawk for that I blame bad UI

a good game shouldn't need a tutorial!
