12:51 AM

oh man, I've never seen these before, this is epic

skovacs1

@FAE Was making/eating/cleaning up supper. Can talk at length now. Short answer is: "I researched all the D3 conversation achievements over the last 2 days, nobody had asked about them at the time so I began posting my information in QA format, via Question&Answer simultaneously to which Alok took offense and as they saw the questions I was asking/answering, they took it upon themselves to ask those same questions as I was doing so = duplicates.

Brant

Whoa, the site looks so…. naked now.

skovacs1

@FAE Given how I started 2 days ago, I didn't notice the Deckard Cain question and that duplicate was entirely my mistake as I hadn't re-searched since before I began the in-game testing. Once that duplicate was closed, I searched for the others and they were not there. As Alok takes offense to the idea of asking as you answer, they decided to trip me up. I took my time formatting and niceifying my questions and answers, thus giving them time to do so.

@FAE In the future, to avoid this, I assume I will have to open multiple tabs and have all my Q&A's typed up in advance for a mass submit so that there will be no time for someone to take offense and decide to mess with me. Additionally, this experiment has made it clear that the ask-as-you-answer mechanic is not well received/understood by some/many. Perhaps it is a bad idea or some user education is involved.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@skovacs1 Yeah, my apologies for assigning blame to the wrong party when I observed fishiness btw.

I knew there was Something Fishy™ afoot and just didn't know what to make of it.

> Perhaps it is a bad idea or some user education is involved.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I meant needed, but ran out of time editing and accidentally typed involved.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@skovacs1 No, I mean User Education is involve,d because it is not a bad idea.

Awwww, D3 came up 300 questions short of managing to become the #1 tag on the site within the timeframe of the contest.

@skovacs1 either works tbqh. the point is that it is not a bad idea, therefore the solution is user education.

skovacs1

@LessPop_MoreFizz Speaking of tags and knowing how you like to torch them, as the only things about D3 that I didn't figure out intuitively was the achievements, I've been using the achievements tag on most or maybe all of my questions. Isn't this a really meta/misused tag?

Brant

@skovacs1 I feel for you with regards to having somebody swoop in and ask a question you were planning to ask yourself, but it happens. Your answers are fantastic though, and that's what's important in the end. (It's also why question upvotes are only worth 5 rep)

A: At what quests/points in time do each of Deckard Cain's talk options become available?

I did a run through with a new character, noting when each of the conversations became available. There are a few that the exact point in the quest is not 100% because a friend joined and I didn't want to hold them up by running back after every single objective. Once you've heard a conversation,...

@skovacs1 I like the use of this tag for big games like D3 and Skyrim, for the record. When question count hits critical mass. My opinion.

This certainly doesn't deserve downvotes either.

@skovacs1 I have largely thrown up my hands on the subject. I don't like achievements, but it has enough defenders that I don't feel like fighting about it.

agent86

@LessPop_MoreFizz this is my opinion as well.

coherent policy is largely blocked by special cases such as this, but I lack the will to fight these battles.

skovacs1

@Brant No. Neither do the closed questions really, but meh. The internet populous is known for nothing if not their misdirected actions. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Hopefully some of us came away more knowledgeable for the effort.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Fair enough. 500 questions is a pain to retroactively fix. It's just not really an area of expertise in specific as it is different for each game/system, etc. At least it has a tag wiki.

agent86

Jan 24 at 22:14, by Grace Note

It's the same essence - the actual system element is identical and meaningful. It doesn't and isn't used on its own, but it is effective even across games, both for league purposes and for categorization.

shrugs

LessPop_MoreFizz

@agent86 I will say that of all the bad cross game tags, achievements is the least bad.

skovacs1

1:12 AM

@agent86 I disagree in the general case. It's not identical. It may be meaningful though, if only for categorization, so I'd say it's fair enough. I just thought I'd ask since LessPop is pretty knowledgeable of tag burnination.

EBongo

@skovacs1 Incidentally the answer to your question will partially answer this question:

1

Q: What is the fastest way to complete "The Art of Conversation" achievement?

I know from reading this question how to finish up the follower conversations, however to get "The Art of Conversation" I need to complete almost all conversations in the game (I believe there are a handful that don't count). I've beat the game at this point, so I believe all conversations shoul...

diablo-3 achievements

The "everything" conversation achievement.

agent86

@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, I just don't think we have a strong case for exceptions at this point. most of what I got when I asked "why?" were things I couldn't apply generally or explain to others - it was a lot of interpretation and subjectivity.

skovacs1

@EBongo I can probably determine an optimized minimum process to get all the achievements since I have all the first and last availabilities. I can check for overlap and ease of access jumping through the quests. I'll give it a shot.

agent86

@MarkTrapp these come in three sizes: small (the map fits in your minimap, more or less), medium (a single level, but it's probably 4-6x the minimap size) and large (two levels about medium size).

there are a couple of larges in act 3, but mostly smalls. almost all smalls if I recall in act 4.

by contrast, lots of larges/mediums in act 2

I might go so far as to say there's also "tiny" - you can see the extents of the dungeon all on your screen at once.

things like the cellars in act 1 would be tiny.

They give Act 3 any semblance of challenge (when I'm not messing around with achievements (I swear Crispy Critters has it in for me)).

agent86

@skovacs1 oh, yeah, I wasn't trying to say I'd made an exhaustive list; just sort of characterizing the types you find in the various acts is all. there are "tiny" dungeons in act 3 as well.

act 3 can die in a fire and burn in hell.

In Minesweeper, I had to figure out the rules. I have been playing easily on the smaller levels. Now whenever I use the larger levels the following happens...

@BenBrocka fyi, he.

I haven't exhaustively tested my assumption, but I have enough data to extrapolate.

Gamecenter full name doesn't indicate that, that's what I've been going off

I think it's high time now to pack up the shit in this partition and wave goodbye to Win7

I mean, it's very high time to reinstall Windows

I might as well do so with Win8 rite?

Q: Where can I find the Gary Hudston project?

I'm sure you've all seen the video for the Gary Hudston Project for Portal 2. My question is: where can I find that level to play for myself, is it available for download or did they literally create that level for just one person to play and no one else?

Q: How does drop system work in Dota 2?

Valve has recently launched a virtual store in Dota 2 where you can buy various items for your hero. But I heard that is possible to "drop" this items also for free, in game. How does this system works? Is it completely random? Is it possible to drop all items available in the store?

@badp Yes, noticed that last night.

So if anyone wants it just give me a ping.

@BenBrocka oh, well, I'm just saying I haven't asked him to drop trou and prove it, but I've known him for a couple of years now/met him in person, etc.

Ben Brocka

@agent86 Oh, weird name for a guy then

I mean that in a polite way

agent86

@BenBrocka lol. I asked him about that once, and I think he said he never intended for anyone else to see that ID.

@BenBrocka there's a bit of history on his "primary" handle on our blog (which is woefully underused at this point) withoutthesarcasm.com/?page_id=27

@Lazers I don't like this question.

I think it's likely to solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion

however, there's "precedent"

@Lazers The idea of a "profit margin" doesn't really work when there isn't a market economy and the prices are all created arbitrarily through some magical formula instead of actual cost of production of the good

Q: Max Payne 3 is Pausing Itself Randomly

I just purchased Max Payne 3 from Steam. This game pauses itself randomly (like, the same behaviour as if you were to hit the escape key on your keyboard), and I don't know what the issue with because I have not experienced this with any other game (and I have a lot of games).

@RonanForman I'm just wondering, since I own an enormous portion of it (and I am also probably buying a house) what happens if I don't pay above the average soundtrack-wise.

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz but I want mounts so pets can ride me around!

Ronan Forman

@Aubergine I already have the Bastion sound track, so I can buy it in a bit and find out for you.

Aubergine

2:40 PM

@RonanForman That would be super awesome of you, thanks. Then again, I'm not sure I would listen to the bastion soundtrack outside of the game.

I prefer more up-beat music.

Ronan Forman

@Aubergine It's amazing, you really should.
