@OrigamiRobot Given that everyone who played the game heard it, I doubt it.

@OrigamiRobot Because I played it.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice sigh Not a glitch in that sense. A glitch in the Enrichment Center.

@GnomeSlice You heard every single bit of sound int he game?

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot The 'Enrichment Center' is simulated in a game, it doesn't have glitches.

@OrigamiRobot I would assume so.

OrigamiRobot

God forbid someone miss something and ask for clarification.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Do you have any idea how many times I've been on the other end of this discussion and still lost.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice I cannot continue this conversation if you are going to either be this dense or this trolly.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot I'm being neither of those things...

OrigamiRobot

You aren't helping your case.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot And you are?

:/

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice I am what? Helping your case? No, that is not my responsibility.

GnomeSlice

23:04

@OrigamiRobot Your own. Just forget it.

I'm not rescinding my downvote or close vote. If it weren't about Portal II, I expect it would have been closed a long time ago.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice I realize the futility of my case and choose not to continue.

RapidQA

I don't know, it isn't like this was closed: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/67404/…

GnomeSlice

@RapidQA It's about Diablo, of course it wasn't closed.

RapidQA

...

So, the two instances of questions not being closed are due to the popularity of their respective games?

Q: Is it really worth hoarding all the loot you find?

By level 49, I have collected hundreds upon hundreds of various items during my quest. I have accumulated so much loot, in fact, that I need to use 6 barrels in Riverwood to categorize my wide assortment of stash, each one heaping full with armor, weapons, gems, jewelry, potions, ingredients, or...

Q: How is world data stored in Minecraft?

Minecraft worlds are huge; supposedly, nearly 130 quadrillion blocks. (Zoom out a little on that site and you'll see it.) Anyways, I looked in the Save folder (C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming.minecraft\saves), and the world I'm currently playing in has a folder of the same name as my world. Thi...

Q: Encyclopedic Questions: Should questions be used as a way to archive gaming knowledge?

Since StackExchange is about making information more available, is it acceptable to archive information on StackExchange? For example, I really like the SK Terran build order in Starcraft Brood War; I used to use it continually in my games; I've studied how progamers excuted it; I know a lot a...

@RapidQA I find it likely. I've seen other examples of that which I find very likely.

Q: Is Skyrim kid friendly?

I've heard much about Skyrim, and as I'm going to get an X-Box for Christmas, I'm taking a look at various games to see what might be of interest. I have 3 kids, ages 8-12, and I'm wondering about the appropriateness of this game for younger kids. Thanks!

skyrim ratings

Like this one, for example.

What a shitty question, according to everything anyone has ever said in here.

But it's about Skyrim so it's fine.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice I just VTC'd

RapidQA

@GnomeSlice Isn't that the same type of question as this (gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/72714/…), though?

(I don't like either really, but I'll sheep this one out and see what the herd thinks)

OrigamiRobot

@RapidQA @GnomeSlice you helped reopen this.

RapidQA

@OrigamiRobot I assume I'm just a bystander tag there? I don't remember voting to open it (might of VTC'ed)

OrigamiRobot

@RapidQA Yes I used you for direction

GnomeSlice

23:13

@OrigamiRobot Because I like stuff like that.

But it's not about what I like.

It's about what the community likes.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice If you are going to complain, at least be consistant.

RapidQA

So you don't like the Skyrim question about ratings because the community liked it, but like the WWE question because the community didn't?

GnomeSlice

@RapidQA Not subjective.

@RapidQA ...No.

RapidQA

That's true, the WWE question has a yes or no answer.

GnomeSlice

@RapidQA Right, exactly.

OrigamiRobot

23:16

@RapidQA My problem with both is we are not here to rate games. That is what the ESRB is for (and similar entities)

It isn't about subjectivity

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot We're not here to philosophize about games either, which is what the answers on that portal question seem to mostly be.

Everyone has a different interpretation.

They're not 'answers'.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice I don't think that word means what you think it means.

I think you mean theorize.

RapidQA

@OrigamiRobot @GnomeSlice I don't like either because I don't want to see those type of questions on Gaming. The Portal one is relevant to plot which is in the acceptable list of questions.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, that is what I meant.

QAven Dreamer

just watched some adventure time

GnomeSlice

23:18

Not sure why I typed that.

OrigamiRobot

@QAvenDreamer Yes!

Wipqozn

That reminds me, I really need to start watching ADventure Time.

OrigamiRobot

Which one?

@Wipqozn Yes. You all do. BMO is best!

QAven Dreamer

Party Dog(Animal?) && Crystals have Power

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I tried finding the episodes on youtube a week or so ago, but couldn't find them.

RapidQA

23:19

What happens if I bounty a question and there is a duplicate (assuming the one I bounty should be closed)? I don't think there is to this question (gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/69990/…). Just wondering as an aside.

OrigamiRobot

@QAvenDreamer Awww, Crystals Have Power was one of the few episodes with continuity

Yi Jiang

@RapidQA Bountied questions can't be closed, but a mod can refund the bounty then close the question

RapidQA

@YiJiang Neat, TIL and all that

QAven Dreamer

@OrigamiRobot And ironically, I had seen the episode it referenced (though not recently)

Fortuitously?

OrigamiRobot

@QAvenDreamer Yes. Not irony

Also, that's good because both of those were good episodes.

GnomeSlice

23:25

You guys should watch 'Unforgotten Realms'.

QAven Dreamer

I feel like that's a thing making fun of D&D

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice I was going to, but then I forgot.

QAven Dreamer

Don't know much else about it, though.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Also, chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/35?m=4955645#4955645

Scroll up a little, I included an image.

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice Only watch the first 6 or so episodes. After that, it gets boring and dumb.

QAven Dreamer

23:30

Yay! Sanity prevails! (10k+)

John

@QAvenDreamer "10k+" scoffs and reads it anyway

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, the first few are the best.

John

@QAvenDreamer So, what happened? Are they doing it internally now?

Wipqozn

@John They already did it, and yes.

John

@Wipqozn Oh. Yay!

Wipqozn

23:32

> False alarm, we used a sandbox. Thank you for your cooperation

@QAvenDreamer I've watched a few minutes of the first episode, and thus far that is all it seems to be.

I'm also stopping now.

Q: Rename [Starcraft] to [Starcraft-Brood-War]?

Inspired by How to differentiate old games (Starcraft vs Starcraft II)? The current "Starcraft" tag is easily confused to mean any Starcraft game. The "Broodwar" tag doesn't say anything about Starcraft. A "Starcraft - 1" tag would seem tacky because that's not how people referred to the game...

discussion tags

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I think it got boring and dumb within the first few minutes.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn I meant in a bad way.

Ben Brocka

@James I'll try that more just in case, thanks. Trying for the Solstice for now though
