Why was my flag on this post declined? I flagged it as "not an answer", because it was link-only.

@ExpertCoder14 because it does attempt to answer the question, just not well

@Memor-X So is Arqade splitting from meta on this?

I suppose that's specific to SO, but still likely to cause some confusion

Memor-X

@Batophobia good question. not sure myself. i see a link only answer as an attempt to answer the question if the link is relevant, but it's a very bad attempt to do so

Elise

6:14 AM

@Batophobia a link only answer should be flagged as "low quality", not as "not an answer", imho

it is an answer, but it's a terrible one (unless the info in the link doesn't answer the question either)

Memor-X

@Elise well it seems like "this entire site will help you" and it is a site on minecraft commands. i didn't look further than that

Elise

@Memor-X tbh I looked at the question and I looked at the link and I think at best it's a low quality answer, at worst it's not an answer

more leaning towards not an answer

it just links you to a command guide and says "here, use this and figure it out"

ExpertCoder14

@Memor-X I’m just following the meta post that was pointed out by Batophobia.

Batophobia

6:53 AM

@Elise I think this is the problem. The link itself is not an answer. I think of it like our game-related test of "if you remove the game does the question still make sense"

Even if the link goes directly to an answer, the target site could stop working and then the link points to nothing, leaving a completely useless answer

oh boy the deck management aspect of this is going to be a problem for me

I am not good at that

GnomeSlice

This game is dope

there's like 300 cards wtf

Elva

7:01 PM

@GnomeSlice That sounds neat Gnome :o

GnomeSlice

After every wave you draw a new 'card' (cartridge) and the cartridges have things like 'place 2 level 1 machine gun towers' or 'place a level 2 flame tower and a block' or whatever

tons of combos

Elva

Is it a collectible idea? Or is it more a deckbuilder? :o

Deck builder TD sounds cool...

GnomeSlice

you have to like unlock them but like when you go into a mission you can see how many waves and what enemies and a map of it. and you have to pick like a certain number of cards to bring

you get them in packs like a CCG I guess with the stuff you get from winning missions

Elva

Neat neat

GnomeSlice

there's like a super hard sponsored mode too where you can redo missions for sponsored like corporate cards that seem good

Elva

7:04 PM

Damn now I wanna see if I can build a deck builder tower defnese

GnomeSlice

I haven't been able to beat the starter mission on sponsored yet

seems really good

I have now finished Sakuna. I honestly didn't expect this game to consume as much of my time as it has.

I was actually expecting to spend a lot of time on Hyrule Warriors.

But this kinda... took over.

Just picked up my new 3070 :)

Waiting on the CPU before ordering the rest of the computer.

Yuuki

I should get some upgrades, I'm still using a 1070.

MBraedley

This is replacing a 970

Nzall

I'm waiting until next year, then getting myself a machine with a 3080

mainly for 2 reasons: 1) I'm concerned the 3070 might have problems long-term holding high enough FPS at 1440p; 2) I may want to upgrade to full 4K in 3 or 4 years

Okay, this may be a problem, and I'm glad Steam pointed it out. When I was checking out the Steam Awards, I found I can't nominate games in 6/10 categories, or rather, that the games from 2020 it suggests for me to nominate from are... not exactly family friendly games I'd dare to nominate for a major award, to put it that way.

Glad steam pointed out that I should probably do better with my choice of games I buy next year

Yuuki

I appreciate that I'm allowed to nominate games that I don't own on Steam.

I put in Sakuna for Sit Back and Relax.

Nzall

@Yuuki yeah, I could do that, but I would feel even dirtier nominating a game I haven't played myself than I'd feel nominating an adult game

I've played very few mainstream games released this year it seems. I think Rachel Foster and Black Mesa are the biggest ones

And I would feel weird as well nominating games from years ago that only recently released on Steam, like Battlefield 4

GnomeSlice

Damn there is a LOT of stuff in this game

Yuuki

10:28 PM

@Nzall Well, what I meant is that you could nominate a game that you own on another platform.
