A sta- what? Basically, a questions and answer site that actually does work.
Why is it better than, say, these forums? Search actually works. Answers appear in order or voting. Good answers are rewarded. Search actually works. Answers that can't be answered are closed. Harder to make duplicates. Search actually works. Googleable. Search actually works.
Does it work? Sure, just look at its big brother stackoverflow.com
Do I need to login? No. (You won't get reputation if you don't, however.)
"if you have vote-based answers, the top answers will always be a variant of 'kill the elves,' 'flood the world with magma,' or propagated but inaccurate rumours, generally all unrelated to the topic at hand." :D

I've noticed some tags in used that are very specific to the game in question. For example, there's a civilization question which had the tags (among others) "worker" and "settler", and there are Starcraft 2 questions (1, 2) with tags such as "zerg" or "protoss".
I'm strongly opposed to these ta...
There are tons of these. Many tags that are specific for only one game, such as "morrigan" or "lore-master", and many tags which are just too game dependent, such as "priest" or "mutation".
You're right, there isn't much value in these tags at all, and they should really be removed. The prob...
@alexanderpa It just told me to farm in a cave, after searching for a while, I found this isn't possible in the latest versions without irrigating it, something I can't find how to d.
As Gnoupi said, it's possible to report any game you want to play as a non-Steam game.
In this case, it's a joke reference to the episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft" of South Park, in which Butters prefers Hello Kitty Island Adventure over World of Warcraft.
As far as I know no such game exists.

It should come to little surprise that you need to put quotes around strings. On the other hand, you have the luxury of putting spaces around the = for readability.

(no, I didn't link to that to beg for upvotes, I just wanted to prove my points and this was the best example I know of. No, I didn't research much.)
I have a few repository classes that are meant to talk to different kinds of data, deriving from an IRepository interface laid out like so:
In implementations, the code talks to a data source, be this a directory of XML files or a database or even just a cache. Is it possible to reliably unit ...

There's a lot of games out there whose original creators have long gone out of business. How (if at all) do these enter the Public Domain, and how can you tell? Are there other kinds of abandon ware?
Steam now supports using an account as an OpenID. However this doesn't work on any Stack site.

Account association is in a semi-broken state at the moment. After clicking "Clear All Associations" from one of the trilogy sites, for example, you can't re-associate your Area 51 or private beta accounts.

Then my Gaming profile was synchronized with my Meta SO profile, but not my Area 51, which led to the report. Then, Emmett relinked my accounts, which in turn changed my GUID, but this didn't have any effect for a week until I actually logged out of Gaming to log back in and update my profile.

There have been a number of '[Game] [Craft/Class] Guide questions' today. While I think it'd be appropriate for those questions to be asked organically, I have an issue with the intentional 'seeding' of the questions because they produce a lot of unanswered questions with no indication that ther...
someone should answer the guy on meta. If you want to keep new users around, particularly those smart enough to USE meta (this is big) you want to be nice to the good ones.
I mean give the guy credit -- he came over, talked about 3 posts, etc.

@Adra sure, but wikipeida is more likley to be updated than a (at present) small se site and wikipeida is more likley to be first in the google ranking. A SE site shouldn't really just copy information from other sources. My opinion.

It sure is allowed to use a C64 emulator, but what about a Wii one? And what about the middle-old consoles like the PS1?
