@GraceNote Still very likely.
 
@GraceNote are you sure that every other word in autocorrect doesn't get corrected to "fuck"? I'd think that was an excellent design decision.
 
@agent86 Like I said, plight of the spelling-challenged
 
Depends on how often you use the word.
@GraceNote I don't have a problem with spelling, but I do have a problem with typing on an iPhone.
 
@GnomeSlice I don't have a problem typing on an iPhone. It's one of the perks of not using an iPhone.
 
Yeah. My parents made me stop using my android and use my mother's old iPhone.
 
12:06 AM
@GnomeSlice Why?
 
Because there were no good 'task list' apps for android or something.
 
@agent86 Fun Fact: The default autocorrect dictionary does not include a variety of profanity. You can get a metric for just how much an iPhone owner swears by attempting to type in various dirty words and seeing if they get corrected.

Depends on how often you use the word.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz fcuk that.
 
Personally, my iphone has gotten to the point where it even knows how to handle various portmanteaus containing the word fuck. (i.e. infuckingcredible)
 
12:09 AM
OKAY, new day. I can participate in the site again, yay.
 
@agent86 up votes 20 of your answers so you cannot
 
@agent86 Best way to hit rep cap daily is to ignore rep cap and just answer questions that need answering. Long tail will handle the rest.
 
I don't think I've ever even approached the rep cap.
It must be a woman.

@ArdaXi Lol. Badp edited that.
GODAMMIT WHO STARRED THAT.

@GnomeSlice oh my. The highest you ever hit was 45.
 
But... it's out of context now...

@GnomeSlice quite a few people
 
@Wipqozn That's it?

Q: What does the "A -15%" statistic mean when shopping for armor?

agent86I was shopping for some armor last night, and I noticed a statistic on the armor purchase screen that I hadn't seen in previous AC games. It looked like the "Assassin's Logo" (a stylized A of sorts) followed by "-15%". What is this for? I didn't notice it on the armor/inventory equip screens...

Q: If I quit during a mission, will I resume at the last checkpoint or before I started?

agent86At the end of my gaming session last night, I went to try and save and realized that there didn't appear to be an option. I'm assuming the game's autosave is all I get, like it or not. If I quit the game during a mission, will I start back up at the last checkpoint I passed, or do I have to s...

 
GET ME THOSE POINTS! thank you agent. :p
 
Is... a valid tag?
 
12:17 AM
Assassins-creed-revelations wont fit
 
We've discussed before that it should probably be either r or rev instead of revel.
 
Why not '3'? Or whatever number it is.
 
@GnomeSlice Actually, your high is on April 10th when you hit 150.
 
Or maybe we should bug Jeff about getting longer tags.
@Ullallulloo That's 2 days after my birthday. Interesting. What's the cap?
 
or ac-revelations
 
12:19 AM
@GnomeSlice Not happening
 
@GnomeSlice 200
 
@Fredy31 Also not happening.
 
@GraceNote That sounds depressingly convicted.
 
@GnomeSlice Because it's not happening. The 25 character limit is pretty entrenched into things, it ain't budging without waaaaay too much work.
Much like we're the only site who sees a need to remove the "single instance tag reaper" script, we're the only site who truly suffers from the tag limit. Oh, and we also suffer from the title thing... it's safe to say that really, Gaming is an absolute pain for the tagging system on all respects.
 
@GraceNote How so?
 
12:22 AM
Figures.
 
@Wipqozn I don't know the exacts, I only know that it's been repeated about 4 times on Gaming alone from David and others
 
@GraceNote We could hold a strike, but I'm not sure there's much point since it's a community driven site.
 
@GnomeSlice A strike won't change anything
 
I was joking.
 
Except maybe cause the site to shutdown.
 
12:25 AM
Well, that's hardly 'nothing' now is it.
 
@GraceNote I see. Just find it curious. I wouldn't think the tag limit would matter to anything other than the tag limit, which I assume would just be a matter of changing a constant.
 
To everyone who didn't buy Bionic Commando Rearmed while it was on sale: you suck.
Also, just to be clear, everyone understand what I actually meant by that starred message 'it must be a woman' right?
 
Aeo
@GnomeSlice Playing it right now. :P Thanks again
 
@GnomeSlice yes, you're a misogynist.

@Aeo :D Make sure you stop by the tutorial area and pick up the revolver upgrade.
@Wipqozn No, that's not what I meant at all.
=[
I was making a joke about how I never approach women.
 
12:29 AM
@GnomeSlice too late now, the starred list has spoken.
@GnomeSlice Nope, sorry. The starred lists says it is because you are a misogynist.
 
It's not as funny if you star my explanation too.
I am a star god.

Brynjolf said before that I would become leader of the guild after everything was over. Can I become the leader any...

 
@Lazers Come on , 2 more questions to overtake ...

Just continue in that area and one of the rooms has a weapon upgrade in it.
Anyway, dinner.

btw @RonanForman
btw "No player shall be permitted to cause any block of lava in the Pain Water course in his or her lane to turn into obsidian, either by placing/removing blocks in that area, or through any other means." Apparently we did that wrong?

@Powerlord: I'm not certain what your religious views are, but something tells me this will turn you away from Christianity if you're a christian:
 
@Wipqozn TBQH, Christ has no problem with bacon. Now if it was Reject Allah, I'd believe it.
(I suppose rejecting Judaism would work as well, but it's harder to make that pithy because there's not a singular prophet figure that you can instruct people to reject.)

@AshleyNunn gamefaqs... the thing they do good are the guides, their Q&A section is bad ;)

The zero-width space (ZWSP) is a non-printing character used in computerized typesetting to indicate word boundaries to text processing systems when using scripts that do not use explicit spacing, or after characters (such as the slash) that are not followed by a visible space but after which there may nevertheless be a line break. Normally it isn't a visible separation, but it may expand in passages that are fully justified. In HTML pages this space can be used as a potential line-break in long words as a replacement for the non-standard tag. However, the zero-width space is not supported...

ripper234Well, the kid is more powerful because of all the upgrades, and has access to more shrines to empower his enemies ... Regardless of that - are the enemies in the second round harder, assuming all else is equal?

 
1:51 PM
@GraceNote Done
 
Do ! automatically get changed to ? in the question titles?
 
@RonanForman Yes
Thanks, fixed it, @Ronan
 
Fixed what?
 
An erroneous exclamation mark that was converted into a question mark
@badp Just to confirm - was that a test entry?
 
@GraceNote I thought you asked me, between the lines, to reenter my entry?
 
2:03 PM
@badp No, I asked you to confirm that the entry form for the newest round was working (which you did)
 
@GraceNote OH. Sorry
 
Haha, no worries. It confirmed it was working, which is all I needed. ♪
 
Besides, I've taken a cursory look to the upcoming releases and none of them strike my fancy
 
Surely that had no impact on why we expanded the breadth of the round this time

Ronan FormanYou can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/user/GamingSE At the moment it's a bit sparse, but that will be changing soon.

...Awesome. Though I have no idea what I'd do with it.
Wonder if I could use a bunch of this stuff in other media.
...Hm... $20 is a lot (for me) to spend on something I may never use.
 
@GnomeSlice Then don't spend it?
 
I'm trying to decide.
Looks like some really good assets are in here.
 
Do you intend to do game development?
 
@GraceNote Well... at the moment, probably not.
But a lot of the assets look transferable.
For example, the textures, audio packs, and icon sets.
Which I could probably use in loads of other media.
Also, this.

Q: Is there any way to reveal the entire minimap?

StrixVariaIf I remember correctly, Civilization 4 offered some technology that revealed the entire minimap. It didn't break fog of war, but at least it allowed you to see where all the cities were and what the terrain was like. So far in Civilization 5, I haven't seen any equivalent to that. I just decide...

Q: Help remembering a game where players throw things to each other

Ieyasu SawadaI played a PlayStation game sometime in year 2000 and I want to play it again. But I can't remember the name of the game. It's a game where you select a character and then you throw things like big rocks to the other players. There are also items which you can get in the game which changes the e...

 
@GraceNote Any suggestions?
 
I'm not an advent supporter of "This is a great deal so I'll blow my money even if I won't use any of it"
A better deal is not to spend the money at all, if you're not going to need or use it. Only spend the money if you know you'll be using it.
 
@GraceNote aka how steam gets most of us to buy cheap games >_>
 
@FallenAngelEyes A lot of people fall in that trap
 
@GraceNote That's the thing. I may use it
Dyargh. Probably best to not bother.
There are lots of other places to find media, I guess if I decide I need some.
 
2:38 PM
Don't settle for "may"
If you're already hesitant about the price as a whole, you can't let yourself be swayed by large uncertainties
 
Hm... you're probably right.
My dad has been making noises about ios development... he'd probably like the tutorial about ios publishing that comes in this...
Gah.
 
@GnomeSlice Then tell him about the bundle?
Maybe you'll get lucky and he'll buy it for himself
 
Hmm...
Doubtful.
It would make a good christmas gift, maybe.

wow, @GnomeSlice, that's awesome! i'll probably get it even though i don't do any 3d/unity stuff (yet)
LOLOLOLOL.
@GraceNote Guess most people don't do that.
 
@GnomeSlice I mentioned that lots of people fall for that kind of trap.
 
Hm... looks like it's a tutorial for ios GAME developement, unsurprisingly.
@GraceNote I'm terrible for this kind of thing.
 
2:45 PM
It's the same reason why "Under $200!" actually works as a marketing strategy to sell something that is $199.99
 
Heh. I wouldn't fall for that one. I generally at least look at the list price first.
 
@GnomeSlice People still do, but the fact that the most significant digit is a "1" is what far too many people stick to.
 
I never really understood that.
If I ever own a business in retail, I'm setting all of my prices to nice round numbers.
$199.99 $200.00
 
Marketing preys on ignorance, which is widespread amongst the common human

in Game Development, 22 secs ago, by thedaian
hmmm, it looks like you can't sell anything you make with those assets
Well, that made up my mind for me.
@GraceNote You're almost as cynical as my father.
 
@GnomeSlice That's not so much cynicism as realism
 
@FallenAngelEyes Exactly.
 
@GnomeSlice I don't have to be a cynic to pay attention and see these things happen.
 
Protip: Most people are stupid.
 
I don't like thinking that the average person is incredibly dense or unobservant, but fact is, if they weren't, these kinds of techniques wouldn't be as widespread as they are. Techniques are only as functional as they are successful.
 
so, how does new system work?
If I get a game for one round, I can't get it for the next?
 
It's been like that for a while
 
@badp: Any ideas on this question?

Q: Are there shopkeepers in DoomRL?

WipqoznI started playing DoomRL today, and have already maxed out my inventory with a bunch of duplicates of weapons I already have, mostly pistols. Is there any way for me sell these, or should I just use up what ammo they have in them and then drop them?

 
except this round, the rules have been reset
@Wipqozn Ugh, that's quite the troublemaker of a user. What's up with it?
 
I know you're a fan of roguelikes and what not
 
2:57 PM
@Wipqozn Yeah, I should probably suspend him. Good thinking
 
@badp yeah, I know. That wipqozn guy is a dick, but don't tell him I said so.
@badp He definitely deserves it.
 
Oh noes, not Doom Roguelike...
 
Can someone smart please interpret these licensing terms for me?
=[
 
@GraceNote Not a fan?
 
Oh, I like it.
Also brings back fond memories of the Doom comic.
