@Sterno can you look at my lifehacks meta question?

djsmiley2k

'You're an idiot, please don't use my app again'

Sterno

@Dragonrage God no.

djsmiley2k

@Sterno Or get sacked like me!

Sterno

I only troll Lifehacks when I don't have fun video games to play.

@djsmiley2k Backup option!

two bugs

But you always have fun video games to play because you keep buying them!

Hm, I want to get further in Dark Souls 2 but I need to finish Undertale so I can cross that off my list

Sterno

@twobugs Yeah, but usually I'm at work or watching the kids. I can troll Lifehacks while doing either of those.

two bugs

17:16

Hm, true.

I'm surprised nobody has tried to close the "Is Farcry Primal FC5?"

@GodEmperorDune Nice one man

@fredley You'll be happy to know that you killed the productivity of half my team with that minesweeper link

Dragonrage

so someone on lifehacks meta thinks we should close all related questions as duplicates

ardaozkal

@Dragonrage "close ALL the questions"

murgatroid99

@Dragonrage "Close questions as duplicates when they ask essentially the same thing" is a pretty common position people take across the network

Dragonrage

@ardaozkal i mean the whole site overall may be better off being shut down, but closing related questions as duplicates just seems wrong

murgatroid99

In many cases "essentially the same thing" is debatable, but the position itself is a reasonable one

ardaozkal

17:40

@Dragonrage that is what I meant

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote

ardaozkal

@murgatroid99 closing opinion based questions are opinion based is pretty popular too- but Lifehacks isn't a generic SE.

murgatroid99

@ardaozkal So what? The fact that they do some things differently than other sites has no bearing on the fact that this generally reasonable stance on duplicates is still reasonable there

Q: What happens when a city with Macchu Picchu loses the mountain Macchu Picchu is located on?

The below image is a screengrab from episode 16 of the Yogscast Civilization V: Donut Island season. As you can see, England (Pyrion Flax) has built Macchu Picchu in his city. Now, suppose Poland (Lewis Brindley) uses a Great General on the hill tile to the west of Macchu Picchu, meaning England...

Dragonrage

17:45

@murgatroid99 well i proposed that by the persons logic we would have to close all questions of the form "how to i clean x from my clothes" because they are all asking about cleaning clothes, even though they may require different solutions

Unionhawk

reopen all questions

Dragonrage

@ARadish i didnt, what happened?

ARadish

@Dragonrage um... i think they're trying to make like a story and failing

XD

Unionhawk

I, too, am in favor of having 3 different questions about cleaning mustard, ketchup, and mayo from my clothes

@Dragonrage I was just writing that questions that look the same are sometimes aren't even close on LifeHacks.

ARadish

@GnomeSlice pay $20 to play the game four times over?

murgatroid99

@Dragonrage Yes, I saw the point you made. I don't really care about the specific outcome of this particular argument, but saying "he wants to close all related questions" is a gross mischaracterization of his point.

Sterno

Oh, is Embers of Rage out now?

Still a long way to go though. Fingers crossed.

murgatroid99

@Dragonrage Or, he thinks those questions are also asking essentially the same thing, and aren't just related

Gaunt

@ardaozkal yes but, i was expecting a more private chat, dont know exactly how this work :P

ardaozkal

@Gaunt gaming.stackexchange.com/users/current?tab=answers

Check the bottom of the page.

This is a public chat with currently over 20 people in it, everything you say is indexed by google too.

Man, I wish I had rep to downvote that.

Gaunt

@ardaozkal nope, there isnt, i used firefox ctrl+f to search the text deleted, and there isnt any

ardaozkal

@Sterno I hardly stopped myself from using flags as super downvotes.

@Gaunt huh, weird. at least, does the link work for you?

Unionhawk

@ardaozkal What have we told you about super downvotes, Jimmy?

Gaunt

17:59

@ardaozkal yep, the link is perfect thought... at least i can see the questions myself, thanks for that.... i dont know about the page then... i will check a little the source code

two bugs

@ardaozkal Again, please do not vote about super downvotes.

ardaozkal

Ugh, are you using bots to automatically reply to people who say super downvote?

two bugs

Yes, clearly that is what we are doing.

ardaozkal

You should upgrade them to check if the post is sarcastic.

Unionhawk

No, but we are rapidly targeting people who have used close votes in this manner who say super downvote

two bugs

18:00

You should realize you've been asked/told not to joke about that multiple times

ardaozkal

The only real thing I'd do to that is commenting or downvoting. I only have rep to comment.

two bugs

The point I'm trying to make is that even in jest, that is a harmful attitude to express. It's also not funny and is really tiresome, but that is secondary.

Gaunt

can you update your post adding the link(before the user number) so anyone having my problem, or unable to search for their answers could get it from there?
Iam accepting your answer now, thanks!!

@Unionhawk If you go back and look I warned you

@ardaozkal Galak-Z is fucking excellent

I bought it when it came out. Still waiting for Season 5 :(

Wow, I can't believe @Unionhawk said we didn't land on the moon in that chat message he removed

djsmiley2k

@Sterno flagged as not an answer.

ardaozkal

Ah yes, I remember watching a stream of galak-z before it was released. I should add it to my wishlist, it was pretty neat.

@djsmiley2k it sounds like those "god loves you, so do we! donate us $x now, and god will love you more!" scams.
