I was really thankful for Dwarf Fortress today. At a THIMUN session we were debating aquifers, and it's really the only reason I know what an aquifer is.
People have been all for murdering identify-this-game, but now that @JeffAtwood agrees, we're on some campaign to save it? Is gaming just Jeff's antithesis or something?
You can also thank me for convincing him (for now) not to do exactly that. He's an action person, after all, so it's in his nature to get things done rather than spend 8 months in discussions that get nowhere. A nature that's actually pretty successful in the long run and in general.
@IanPugsley You know... his gravatar wouldn't be hard to make into something actiony. Give him shades, and made it look like he's driving a motorcycle or something.
@John Without using the store, you stand a minor-to-major disadvantage in statistical distribution during various phases of the game, and you'd also be stuck with only free-to-play champions that cycle every week. This is referring only to stuff that you can buy with the in-game currency you get just for playing (not even winning, though winning gets you more)
I was generally removing any older identify-this-game question with a score of -1 or lower, but if you want this particular one back, I have no objection to that.
Longer term, this tag needs to die, with extreme prejudice..
@John Without using the store, you can't get hats or trade items to players. You also have a 50 item backpack instead of a 300 item backpack. Oh wait, that's TF2.
@GraceNote So, is the store just for real-money purchases or is it where I would buy the champions with the in-game currency? Also, by free-to-play, are you referring to purchase with IGM or don't have to purchase at all?
If I have a specific gene tonic in level 1 and level 2, is there any benefit in equipping both of them at the same time? will I get full 1+2 bonuses? somewhat over 2? or will the level 1 tonic be completely useless?
@ArdaXi I'm typically free for a game every morning (here, so it'd be around noon for you or a bit after), or can squeeze things in my evening, if you're up for stuff.
@John Store operates on two currencies - IP (gotten in game) and RP (give cash monies). You do not need the latter, but the former is what I previously mentioned.
@ArdaXi I once had plans to create an underground tower as a future home, complete with a moat. In retrospect I have no idea why, but it was originally quite a thorough plan.
But I don't think even that would've extended 30 miles. I think I cut it at 10 sub-levels.
Broots is a major one for me, though, because I inadvertently named a character of mine in a world setting after him, and they have slightly similar backgrounds.
1st time in chat now... just wanted to ask: some other dudes from playing Diablo II still/again? Just started after ~7y and look for people to play with :) /r/slashdiablo
I reviewed about the top 300 tags on the site under the criteria I submitted for review here:
On the coming murder of meta-tagging
And the following tags were marked for further review - I do not endorse burninating all of these outright, nor do I feel we should take any action without further ...
This was an arcade game ~1986-91, and I'm thinking more on the earlier side of that based on my age I would actually go to that arcade. This was a side scrolling game where you controlled a warrior of some sort with a sword and a shield, maaaybe a helmet. The character was large on the screen, ...
@John I said "many" with the understanding that a number of us haven't played, but judging from previous discussions, there are a number enough of us who have played which allows me to say "many" correctly.
