@FAE If it offends you, I'd just edit it. Easier to ask forgiveness than permission. And it's a lot easier to justify removing it than adding it back in :)
FAE
FAE
@Sterno It doesn't offend me, personally, but I was under the impression that while such language was appropriate for chat, we kind of wanted to discourage it in questions and answers proper.
@FAE I've edited things like that before (that were showing up in the "short" version of the question that makes it to the summary pages) and been chewed out about it
I don't know that there's a policy, per se
@FAE Yes.

Q: Can Ugh-Zan IV be defeated at all on Serious difficulty at 400% health?

badpI wanted to try how the ultimate Serious Sam 3 tastes like, so I started the last level on Serious difficulty with infinite ammo and 400% enemy health, for a whopping ×57 multiplier. It's pretty fucking serious and in the last few waves you just have to spam cannonballs (it's still more fun than ...

@Sterno Which Disgaea?

Q: Are expletives allowed on SE sites?

Jeff AtwoodCan I use salty, expletive-laden language on Stack Exchange sites, like Q*Bert? Return to FAQ index

@Tristan First one for the DS
The problem, if you'll read that meta post, is that the community never agrees on anything. So it's pretty close to 50/50
@Sterno Well... If it's not any different from the PS2 version, I can probably provide answers! =D
Dec 4 '11 at 16:04, by badp
@agent86 No, it's not difficult. It's pretty fucking serious.
shrugs
FAE
FAE
@agent86 Again, that's chat, not an answer on the site.
@FAE read the question I linked, and check the revision history. I just linked the chat where he got up in my face about changing it.
Like I said, if you try to get community agreement to justify changing the language, you'll be waiting forever. Personally I think the site looks better without unnecessary cursing in the answer. I'm not going to go on a crusade to edit them out, but I don't think anyone has much ground to stand on if they get mad that a curse from one of their posts was edited out.
17:07
the "fucking serious" part is actually in the question's onebox summary

@agent86 Ah, I see.

Q: What are some good websites to get statistics on Champion and their builds?

funnybob2961Anyone know a common website people use for builds and is it trustworthy for gameplay?

Do we do those? >.>
FAE
FAE
@Tristan No, we don't.
@FAE sooo, yeah. would I blame you if you edited it? would I get upset? no. have I been told previously not to do that by a moderator? yes.
take from that what you will :)
@OrigamiRobot A decision has been made! If you wish to rescind your offer, however, I won't be upset.
Also... DSL can't handle many downloads at one time.
17:10
@agent86 Then badp's wrong. There's not much new about that. :P
if you scroll the chat summary down to 4:48 pm, you can see our exchange, with the guidance I received from chat at the time.
@agent86 Now you're a moderator! It evens out!
Yayyy! The DRM free versions of Hammerfall, Machinarium, And Yet it Moves, and Cogs are all finished!
@Sterno yeah, but mod-on-mod violence is never pretty :( if the policy was "there is no policy" a couple of months ago, I don't want to unilaterally change that.
FAE
FAE
So, why isn't the question Decency answered closed, anyway?
17:12
@Tristan Machinarium's on GOG now too.
Here's a good rule of thumb. If @Gnomeslice would get flagged for saying it in chat, don't put it in your answer.
FAE
FAE
I thought we were killing off the game comparison questions.
@FAE It has a bounty and can't be closed.
Allegedly.
FAE
FAE
Ah, it has a... yeah
@FAE It wasn't as clear-cut as that.
17:13
@FAE I don't think that was the final decision on game comparison questions, from what I understand
the last word I heard was "some are OK, as long as they're reasonably scoped"

A: What's the difference between FortressCraft and Minecraft? Who cares?

Grace NoteI disagree with banning these wholesale. I don't disagree that we can close some of these as "Not A Real Question", citing Raven's answer. Consider a very close kin to these kinds of questions - version differences. Which has its own tag, even. But both of them operate on the same intent - they...

Q: What are some good websites to get statistics on Champion and their builds?

funnybob2961Anyone know a common website people use for builds and is it trustworthy for gameplay?

Currently the accepted answer. Which might mean something. Or might not. I still don't know. :P
Oh. Juan got it. <.<
@StrixVaria Every time I have to draw something for you, I get crappy words. Over and over again.
Also... Wow. That Minecraft answer last night got the fastest 16 upvotes I've ever seen.

Q: Stuck at an average of ~40 sec Intermediate, ~120 sec Expert -- how best to improve from here?

Mines WeeperIs there a particular mindset or technique that allows you to push beyond the ~1 mine / sec barrier? e.g.: less flagging? more clever "leaps" into uncharted territory?   (which I see on some of the world-record youtube vids) training on custom mode, with a higher/lower mine density t...

17:18
@FAE ha! as if! now that we decided on ITG, we need another controversial topic to ocuppy our next month!
It should be safe to remove the P.S. in this question, right? It doesn't add anything to it, it basically just says "you should totally play minesweeper"

Q: What are the two 'hidden' achievements, and how do I get them?

LessPop_MoreFizzIn BrowserQuest, the achievements list includes 2 that are denoted only as ??? / ??? I've already defeated the 'final boss' and completed all of the other achievements (Ignore the 16/20 there, the 2 I'm missing amount to 'get hit a lot of times'). What are these last two medals, and how do I...

@Tristan FRAPS?
@OrigamiRobot Yeah. =\
I couldn't run the other one without it crashing...
17:21
@Tristan PlayClaw (the version I used, anyway) sucks compared to Fraps
@RonanForman I just wasted a bomb because your squirrel (which looked like a squirrel to me) parsed as a beaver. >.< lol
@IanPugsley I couldn't even get PlayClaw to work... And Taksi skewed the colors.
> @JuanManuel Strange how many people find my "useful advice" as per your comment to be worthy of a downvote, and yet your comment to be worthy of an upvote. Just further reinforces my opinion that the people who contribute to these discussions have no idea what they're doing. – Decency 1d ago
That dude is good at trolling me.
@Sterno Ignore him and all your problems go away
If I was good at ignoring him, he wouldn't be good at trolling me.
I recognize the soundness of your advice.
FAE
FAE
@Sterno I seem to remember that user posting a heavily downvoted answer on something, and I can't remember what it was. I mostly remember it because someone commented on the irony of the answer and their username.
17:32
@FAE he had some fairly nasty comments about the community overlords (whoever those are supposed to be) on an ITG right around the time we banned them. I don't have 10k so I can't find it since it's deleted now, though
Just seems like every time he comments on something it's basically to say "this place sucks"
@Sterno and that's why I'd encourage him to follow his advice and find a better place for him
@JuanManuel I have deleted my reply to him.
despite the fuss he's made in the comments of that answer, no one has actually told him how to go back and look at the closed DOTA2 posts he's looking for
@IanPugsley I don't know how.
closed:1 [dota-2]
17:38
Hi @GraceNote!
20/20 achievements in BrowserQuest!
What am I doing with my life. :(
@LessPop_MoreFizz Good question...
@Tristan quarter-life-crisis.se
@LessPop_MoreFizz Did you break up with your g/f for a younger one and buy a flashy sports car?
@Tristan that's the midlife crisis
17:39
@Tristan My GF broke up with me, and I did not buy a flashy sportscar.
quarter-life is when you get your gf and the shitty car
@IanPugsley That's crap. I hit my quarter-life and got neither of those things.
@Tristan and my dad is almost 52 and didn't get the sportscar or new gf :P
FAE
FAE
@Sterno Nay, it was earlier than that, a few months ago.
@IanPugsley Well alright then.
17:41
@GraceNote I figured they'd been deleted.
Yayy! Dota 2 is almost finished!

Q: Cheap home server

Cygnus XI'm looking to build a CHEAP ( under $300) home server. The one I'm using now is old (most of the parts are about 9 years old), so I think its time for an upgrade. I'll be using the server for basic things (SSH, FTP, CUPS) but Its main job will be a gaming server (Minecraft for the most part) wit...

@Sterno If they're deleted, then there's no finding them easily
At best you can poke a diamond such as myself to find it, though, since we can find them easily.
@GamingnotonGaming Bring that here so we can close it.
Legends of Grimrock is looking good.
Wow, that bot is awesome
17:59
@Sterno Someone tried to answer your question by editing it
@Wipqozn 9gag is so bad. -_-
@Ullallulloo I concur. I don't actually visit the site, I just see stuff when people post it on Facebook.
@LessPopMoreFizz Classy
@LessPop_MoreFizz A level of awesome I didnt even know existed :)
Level of Dum more like.

BeofettI was multitasking while doing my first run through the Citadel when I came upon Khalisah al-Jilani. I fully expected some sort of conflict with her, and caught the first Renegade interrupt. However, I immediately took my hand off my mouse and started working on my other computer, and didn't ma...

Q: How should Counter-Strike global offensive be tagged?

yx.Now that the game is playable via beta invites on Steam, questions about it may start popping up. Obviously, counter-strike-global-offensive is too long, so should it be: cs-global-offensive global-offensive counter-strike-go cs-go Something else?

had one of those on UX today, wasn't sure whether I should give it not constructive or off topic. It's both
@BenBrocka That's what I mean.
I want to help close it.
18:13
You did
@OrigamiRobot no need for gaming to close it, it's no more appropriate that we close it than any other site
@BenBrocka Yes, but I want to cast a close vote on it. :P

Q: How do I get 800+ AP with masteries, runes, and items?

conjimThis question is for all AP champions. What I want to know: is there a base set of runes, masteries, and items to give me 800+ AP with any AP champion? I have seen this done in many youtube videos and online games but they never explain how they did it and thats what I want to know I know it can ...

Edit completely misses the point.
@BenBrocka thats what i assumed, but still lol.. :/
@LessPopMoreFizz <3 the answer, I wanted to say..."..now go outside."
I'm not sure I fully buy that closure, honestly.
I don't buy that it's "not a problem" myself but I also don't get the lingo
Asking how to get high scores seems fine for us though
I assume AP is some form of points/experience?
AP is a stat, "Ability Power", buffs the effects of spells.
@BenBrocka No, it's the effective power of your magic spells.
18:26
So, it's essentially asking how to maximize AP.
Ah...still seems on topic. He wants a really high stat, one he knows is possible apparently.
"How can I maximize my AP" might be a better Q, since the specific number doesn't seem to matter
So... upon installing Dota 2, do I instantly get guest passes? Or do I actually have to play the game?
@Tristan DotA is everything that's bad about that genre.
DotA is the worst DotA clone.
@StrixVaria That doesn't answer my question... <.< There are people who will trade full games for those guest passes. lol
@Tristan I don't know the answer to your question, but whenever I see LoL players talking about DotA I feel obliged to say something :P

Q: What do you think which supports can also go jungle?

VincentyyAs in the title, which support can jungle? We've seen Soraka jungle on ggChronicle tournament, which was doing pretty well. Allistar jungle is actually common, but what else? What do you think about Janna ad jungle? Or maybe even Taric?

It seems like it could be a decent question, but the "What do you think" ruins it...
@StrixVaria Oh, I will always prefer LoL to Dota.
@Tristan I tried to improve that without changing much...I think it means the same thing but more objectively now
@BenBrocka Guess we'll see what happens with it. Maybe he'll edit it further to be less discussion-y.
@BenBrocka I think the number is a threshold thing. I've seen the 800 number thrown around in glancing at the homepage.
user15026
@agent86 There is also Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure coming out eventually.
@Wipqozn In the thumbnail I thought this was some kind of graph. I don't know what 2 of these are, though.

18:33
@StrixVaria People.
@StrixVaria Top right is Ninja Turtles, if that helps.
I can't figure out what the bottom right one is, even though it looks extremely familiar. :/
I don't get the middle left
@FAE Right. I can identify 6 of the groups, but there are 2 I don't know.
Steam, y u no put Alice: Madness Returns on sale!? ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
Needed to replace that image with the better version
18:34
@TimStone Same here.
@LessPopMoreFizz No you didn't.
@LessPopMoreFizz That image was never needed at all, in any version.
@LessPop_MoreFizz That was plastered on CNN's home page over the weekend
@TimStone venture brothers
user15026
@Wipqozn What's the second from the bottom on the left?
@Tristan Those are the same 2 I don't know.
18:35
@AshleyNunn Asterix and Obelix
@Tristan turtle power
@BenBrocka WTF is a venture brothers?
oh no that's above the smurfs
no idea who's above duck tales

@StrixVaria Adult Swim cartoon
@BenBrocka That seemed like too obscure of a reference :P
@LessPop_MoreFizz Actually, 800 is pretty random and arbitrary. It's just a "big enough" number.
@GraceNote Ah, I thought I'd seen it floating around.
Oh hey! The one above Duck Tales is Dennis the Menace, isn't it!
@BenBrocka ARe you sure about that?
Doesn't look like the venture brothers
18:36
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's probably one that lots of people will throw around, but it's not actually meaningful.
FAE
FAE
These were probably inspired by that thread on SA a while ago.
ddon't know what it would be other than the bee guys
Second one from the bottom right is Bert and ernie fyi
You can generally shoot for around 500 AP if you get most of a full build running in a normal match.
Bert and ernie are obvious
18:37
Scratch that. Got the left one.
Simpsons TMNT
South Park Smurfs
??? Bert and Ernie
Duck Tales ???
People of chat: You are making no sense

@Tristan Oh,r ight. Smurfs.
@Sterno This really isn't much different than usual.
I still think the one above Duck Tales is Dennis the Menace. It'd be Dennis, his dog in the middle, and Mr. Wilson.
@Tristan IT's not.
18:39
@Tristan That's a bad Mr Wilson and a badly scaled Ruff
@Wipqozn Ooh... <.< That's what it is.

Q: What do the wreath colors overlaying the chapters mean?

Leo5882723I have been looking at my completed chapters and i noticed that some wreaths are green, while others are gold. What does this mean?

Still no idea what the bottom right one is. I'm positive it's not the venture brothers.
@OrigamiRobot Hey, hey, instead of criticizing my poor guess, why don't you contribute and figure out who the bottom right one is, huh? =P
@Wipqozn What is this?
18:40
@StrixVaria Characters from a french comic.

@Wipqozn Oh no wonder I don't know it.

How did they get mixed in with things that are actually worth knowing about, though?

@StrixVaria It's really well known over here.
For why it may concern - gog.com/newsletter/bigger_fresher_newer (Trine, Whispered World, Legend of Grimrock)

FAE
Like, huge.
@StrixVaria it's still pretty famous, it was(/is) in translated and in syndication in the US for a very long time
@IanPugsley I have never heard of it or seen it. "Asterix", "Obelix", and that picture are all completely new to me.
This bottom right one is going to drive me insane. I feel like I know what it is, but can't figure it out.
18:42
That's how I feel too, argh.
The Ducktales on isn't even good
That's Donald Duck
@OrigamiRobot yes?
They are still his nephews.
might not actually be ducktales.
I supposed I shouldn't blame you for being so critical. I am the one who programmed you.
Is it Bob the Builder? I know nothing about that show but they appear to be wearing hardhats.
@Wipqozn Yeah. It's probably just Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louis... Lewey? O.o However they spelled it for the show.
@StrixVaria Nope

@LessPop_MoreFizz Your Welcome!
18:46
I know why this guy rick rolled the page. And I understand it's relevance. But it doesn't actually answer the question.
@Tristan !
I know who the bottom right one is! But if you guys wanna keep guessing, I won't say it. <.<
@TimStone ALERT
@FAE Must resist temptation and do actual work...argh!
18:47
@Tristan I don't want to keep guessing, please to tell me.
@Tristan Searching is cheating.
@Tristan It's OK, you can ruin it for everyone else so long as I can find out and go back to working.
@OrigamiRobot Were you going to figure it out? O.o

Q: How does killing senators affect their mood?

Ben BrockaI know killing Senators in Disgaea 4 drops their affinity for you, but how much in absolute terms? They have a "Loathe" to "Love" scale but there's no numerical value presented in game so it's hard to tell. Specifically, how many items do I have to give them to make up for killing them once? Wil...

@BenBrocka I feel like playing Tropico 3 now.
@OrigamiRobot I got 21 of 24 but I have never seen the last 3.
@StrixVaria So easy
Rainbow Brite, G.I. Joe, and Danger Mouse.
18:56
Those are the ones you missed?
user15026
@StrixVaria I loved Rainbow Brite.
@OrigamiRobot Yeah.
I could have stared those pictures all day and never come up with those words. I just didn't know them.
@OrigamiRobot you can't remember your times tables, but you call this easy?
Danger Mouse I can understand, but G.I. Joe?
@IanPugsley Just 7s and 8s man. They suck.
@OrigamiRobot Never seen it. Obviously I've heard of that one, but I never watched it so I wouldn't recognize it.
18:57
@OrigamiRobot you're telling me you know 6s and 12s?
@IanPugsley Yea?
@OrigamiRobot no tricks, actual memorization of 12x9?
@IanPugsley It's all tricks.
@OrigamiRobot if you have to do the math it isn't memorization (i.e. you don't know your times tables)
18:59
@IanPugsley 108
and if you're doing the math and failing for 7s and 8s, I am sorry
