two bugs

Well of course, but I can interact with the audience more directly with soloqueue

I feel like I fundamentally can't do that at the same level if I'm also playing with people

And I don't know if it's as interesting to just watch me hanging out with people as we play a videogame????

Streaming bringing up the deep, introspective questions

badp

if you want a livestream game, momodora 4 is good and requires absolutely no mousing

two bugs

That's a metroidvania, right? Pretty sure it's on my wishlist

I will also likely stream Ratchet & Clank (2016) as I'm pretty confident @AshleyNunn would love that game

I can't remember if she played the older ones

badp

@twobugs yeah, but with souls elements (apparently; I'm not super qualified to talk about it since I've never played any Souls)

I guess the more obvious thing are the bonfirey places that restock all of your items and save your game

two bugs

14:09

It's hard for me to tell what is and isn't soulsy because people say "This is Literally Dark Souls" about every game

And also about things like Vegan Cooking (yes, you read that right)

What you're describing does sound similar, but in a good way

badp

the game isn't quite as slow as souls though

StrixVaria

Overwatch is the Dark Souls of hero shooters.

two bugs

I was playing Hyper Light Drifter (another really cool game), but people said it's Exactly Like Dark Souls, which is silly

badp

what I liked the most is that the difficulty curve on normal felt just right to me

two bugs

Here is how it is like Dark Souls: It is difficult

badp

14:11

oh and there are save points almost right before every single boss, so that's not so soulsy

two bugs

Hyper Light Drifter is very cool. I like it but I am missing one of the collectibles from the first area and the game seems to be telling me to progress onwards already

And I don't have the powerup or whatever to get the last collectible

That always makes me :(

badp

It wouldn't be metroidvania otherwise

two bugs

So people unclosed that terminology question. I have no opinion either way but hopefully this means more rep >:^)

badp

gotta reexplore the whole thing with the new thing so you don't miss the thing to reexplore the things with

two bugs

Yes but Metroidvanias typically don't have a big flashing HEY YOU MISSED THE THING IDIOT symbol (at least at the start)

badp

14:14

@twobugs well of course.

two bugs

In Hyper Light Drifter the collectibles form a square for each area

And they structured it so I have the top left, top right, and bottom right pieces

Which makes me even more angry!

badp

@twobugs if anything now I want to migrate it to gamedev

but I've already touched it so I'm gonna just let you guys be wrong about it

this being the question that needs to be closed

two bugs

I just answered it because I thought I had some decent input. I ultimately have no real opinion and I'll recuse myself from voting since I stand to gain rep from it

Sterno

@badp I'm not clear on why this question is a problem for Arqade

22

A: Do we want to support "Is there a term for x" questions?

Absolutely. The latest set of terminology has several negative traits that reveal they aren't necessarily a good fit for us. Is there a common name for pop-up damage numbers, such as in RPGs? there is no one common shared name for this thing but a very common answer is right there in the qu...

this is a very long winded way to say "please only ask us to define a term in the context of a single game"

StrixVaria

14:19

@badp The only real problem I have with this question is my intense dislike for the asker, but that's hardly a reason to vote, so I didn't.

badp

the asker himself admits that the thing he wants doesn't exist

@badp The answer doesn't provide a verb that can be used to describe the behaviour, "Drawn" is too general, since everything on the screen is being drawn, to say that you can see objects being drawn might not be clear when what you're actually referring to is the sudden appearance of the objects from out of nowhere. I'm quite surprised that the question was put on hold for being too broad. — Wanda 6 hours ago

and what I think is the answer he wants is extremely game-devvy

Well as you just explained the answer doesn't give you a verb because there really isn't one. Technically speaking what's happening is either "frustrum culling" or "the object is entering the viewing frustrum through the far base"; the former causes the object to not be rendered at all and the latter means that the object was rendered but it became invisible due to the perspective transformation anyway. good luck having anyone who didn't take a 3D rendering course understand what you're saying. — badp ♦ 6 hours ago

of course we gamers spend a lot of time worrying about the perspective transformation's frustrum's far base

Sterno

Doesn't that just mean "There isn't a word for this" is the answer, rather than "Let's sit around and invent a new word for it"?

Unionhawk

I only know what about 75% of these words mean

badp

@Sterno but if we make up a word for it then there is a word for it! Making up words is fun! Portal 2, +100!

also here's twenty other words that sorta are it

Sterno

Kerfluffing

two bugs

14:21

I don't see a problem with "drawn" since "object/actor/scenery distance" is literally the term for when those things are drawn.

badp

proving negatives is hard. Let's not have unanswerable questions

two bugs

I'm not going to get into a comments debate though, I just posted my answer

Sterno

@badp Then you have to prove it's unanswerable!

badp

there's almost nothing that is going to have the same word in all games, not even hit points

@Sterno pls

this wants us to come up with a word for something in all games. it's the complete opposite of what we want.

two bugs

Yeah, I think if we're looking for a term for every game it's not going to work

It's basically trying to be as unspecific as possible and it's super subjective

Sterno

14:23

This question doesn't get any better if it is "What is the term used to describe objects appearing from nowhere IN DOOM?"

badp

I mean the actual techniques involved are fairly universal in 3D games so a generic answer kinda sorta can be written

two bugs

@badp That was what I tried to do but the response seems to be "too generic"

badp

@Sterno yes, that's why we want questions that ask us to define terms (= explain what they mean) in the context of a game

two bugs

So /shrug

badp

as opposed to come up with words to match a meaning

so "what's an headshot in tf2" is fine

two bugs

14:24

Clearly the proper term is floaty-pop-numbers

Kevin van der Velden

@badp the answer gamedev would give is exactly the answer @twobugs has already given. It is called draw distance (more specifically near and far draw distance) and pop-in

badp

"what's an headshot" is not

two bugs

You can subdivide floaty-pop-numbers into colored and non-colored

badp

"what's that thing that sorta sometimes happens when I click on some areas of some enemies in some games and sometimes it seems to kill things more quickly than normal in tf2" is not

Sterno

14:25

I disagree that "What's a headshot" needs to focus on a specific game to make any sense, but I also don't see how that example applies

badp

"what's that thing that sorta sometimes happens when I click on some areas of some enemies in some games and sometimes it seems to kill things more quickly than normal in some games" is also not

two bugs

Actually, let's step back - first you decide "coloured" or "colored"

Sterno

Mostly I'm confused because you seem to be saying "Is there a term for X" questions are bad, but your meta says they're fine (absent some other specific problems)

two bugs

I think this question is okay because this is a setting you have influence over in games. It directly relates to the playing of the game itself

badp

@Sterno I don't think I'm contradicting the bit in bold

two bugs

14:27

It's kind of a grey area, and I understand the arguments against it

badp

> Compare the answers you could give to "What's an headshot?" and "What's an headshot in TF2?". Once you ground it in a specific game, you can talk about character models, hitboxes, weapons that can headshot, how much damage a headshot deals, charging headshots, the Ambassador's spread penalties, etc.

> The former question can only be answered "sometimes in some games when you shoot some weapons that hit some part of the enemy that the game considers to be its 'head' or otherwise a critical spot, regardless of whether or not this part actually looks like the enemy's head, you may under some circumstances deal some amount of additional damage." This answer is the best kind of correct, and also completely so generic to be basically content-free.

I've just regiven the very same example in the answer

Sterno

@badp You are definitely not contradicting it. But you do seem to be saying (here in chat) "Is there a term for X?" questions are bad and should be closed, whereas your meta seems to say "They're okay, but they could be better"

I probably just misunderstood what you were saying with your Meta answer.

badp

well, in this case, I feel that the reasons I've listed make the question bad enough for closure

it's basically off-topic

it's asking us to come up with words

it's super broad

GodEmperorDune

@Sterno yeah the meta answer really should have a heading that says "only if they are for a specific game"

Sterno

@badp This is the part I'm arguing with. Isn't this what every "Is there a term for X?" question is?

badp

14:31

@Sterno not if I give you the word. "What's an headshot" doesn't mean you should come up with a term for headshots

@badp bullet-head-floaty-spielen

@badp If you give me the word, you're not asking me if there's a word for it.

Kevin van der Velden

A problem I have with it (which I don't know if it warrants closing or not) is that that form of question may or may not have a gaming answer. It may instead have a gamedev answer

Unionhawk

Yeah that's where I'm currently at

badp

Anyway, you're right, my first line should be clearer

Kevin van der Velden

14:32

Like this one, it has a very clear gamedev answer but does that make it off-topic?

Unionhawk

This feels gamedevvy

@badp That's a pretty significant change.

badp

the rationale was always speaking to not allowing them

Kevin van der Velden

Yay arguing in chat

Sterno

14:34

Seriously though, I read your old answer as "They're okay, but they suck." which in turn I took as "Downvote, don't close vote"

Which does not appear at all like what you were actually saying

just the rationale without the headline

I still do believe that question should be closed though

two bugs

@Unionhawk I think in this case it's okay because draw distance is typically a setting in video games you can directly interact with that impacts gameplay

Just my 2 cents

Sterno

Absolutely not was fine. It made your intention clearer. I mean, no matter what, there's the potential problem of "This has 22 upvotes, many of which might be people who actually thought it meant something different, and people might point to it as having overwhelming support when really it doesn't". But in the scheme of things that's a pretty small problem to have, and people can change their votes (if they notice).

Mainly I was just really confused because your meta seemed to contradict what you're saying in chat. It no longer does. HEAD CANON RESOLVED

badp

mostly I'm not a fan of the word "absolutely"

Sterno

I still don't really have a problem with the question, but my care level about this issue is at just about zero.

NZ is a good suggestion but I have a friend there and he's mentioned they get kinda screwed on some exchange rate stuff

Also apparently certain cities are not located in the best geographical areas

badp

@Arperum you're so biased

Arperum

@badp Yes.

two bugs

Like Auckland, which is on top of 56 volcanoes

Arperum

Can't deny that.

@twobugs Isn't like 90% of NZ on top of a volcano?

two bugs

Also New Zealand having it's own subcontinent is really neat

@Arperum Probably

And they have good cheese in NZ.

I remember reading you have to be more careful about Sun exposure though, particularly in the summer

Since, you know, Ozone hole and whatnot

@twobugs I don't even have to leave the country for good cheese, my mom makes some pretty damn good cheese.

Q: What should Minecraft mods be flagged as?

So recently I have found a question about Minecraft crashing due to mods(which is off topic). But when I flag it and the post closes I don't see my name in the "who flagged it as off topic" list. Am I using the wrong flag? Please tell me what I should flag questions like that as.

Q: No Prisoner Release Money

I have a prison with a couple hundred Prisoners, so every hour or so one is Released. The way I see it, as soon as they exit the map, you get a $3,000 Prisoner Release Reward. This happens most of the time with my Prisoners, but every now and then, on will exit the map as usual, but I don't get a...

the annoying thing about moving to the EU for @twobugs would be reading the papers that say "If you're an EU citizen, skip sections 2, 3, 4, 5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 6, 7, 8.1, 8.4"

two bugs

That's true, since I can't count

badp

now now. I don't think counting is affected by mousing

do you try to count while you mouse?

At least I can cereal correctly

@badp is completely incapable of eating cereal and it causes him severe trauma

@GodEmperorDune Yeah I was mad enough about that I just skipped it

Plus just making a few numbers into blockquotes doesn't really help at all

@twobugs syntax highlighting is good

two bugs

Meh. I don't think just adding a tiny bit of formatting helps.

Regardless, it's funny that the Thatcher crowd is all anti-EU but can't list a single good reason

They're calling the argument that leaving the EU would hurt the economy "fearmongering"

GodEmperorDune

@twobugs because brexit is a cool word

two bugs

Okay, so what is a valid argument then?

Since the economy is apparently Not Real

GodEmperorDune

the better argument is "y u do dis"

two bugs

I think what bothers me more than someone just doing party-line politics is the faux-independent who just wants to act superior to everyone

GodEmperorDune

15:56

as in why do you actually want to leave the EU?

what are the harms

two bugs

Basically, I hate South Park

Matt Stone and Trey Parker are actually really big assholes in interviews, a lot of the stuff on the show isn't really satire because they actually believe some of it

It harkens back to my "robbing a bank as a joke" analogy

GodEmperorDune

"our economies are interlinked with the EU" well yes, but even if you leave and still want to sell goods to the EU then it will still be interlinked

"we don't want to use the euro" afaik you still use pounds anyway

two bugs

They do use the pound

I think they want to get rid of schengen visas or w/e because "brown people"

Q: How would I prevent a wild Pokemon from fleeing?

In my adventuring in Pokemon White, I have come to the attempt to catch Thundurus. However, I can't seem to make a move without it fleeing on the next turn. I realize already that there are ways to stop this... For instance, I had the option to teach Mean Look to my Cofagrigus, but I absentminde...

@twobugs im not sure that "cool" is the operative word

There's a group in the UK who pretend to be like druids or whatever and call themselves "Woden's Folk"
