no, because it's subjective
I'm not denying it. If it comes to it, it can be closed later :P
at least Commercial quality is a more objective subjective indicator compared to 'good', but you're right.
WHOPPER!
That person who I don't like got ahead of me today. After actually being active for once, I am now 100 rep ahead of them. Crisis averted.
@alexanderpas shouldn't your questions be CW?
BIG MAC!
21:13
Oh geez who the hell's this alexander guy who posted another damn game-rec--oh.
oh, Hi @Mana waves
Strange... I could have sworn it wasn't CW... :-p
damn, I was going to suggest Evil Genius
ok. Time to go catch a plane across the pacific for the 5th time this year ><
then I realized it was already there
oh geez
have fun, don't crash
21:15
and don't get caught.
?? what?!
Get caught doing what??
you know...
pretends to understand and nods solemnly Ok...
cyall on the other side. I hope this won't ruin my perfect attendance to Gaming :-p
(it will)
@Mana actually it may not if I can get online to Gaming before Midnight on monday... or I could just get my bro to log in for me :-p
21:21
maaaaaaaaan
this is becoming an obsession
:D. I don't like giving up 100% in anything. When I drop to 99%, I tend to give up too easily and go to like 5%
Are we going to get NetHack client for Android soon?
I've nethack running on my milestone.
it's awkward on non-physical keyboard phones
and I have a HTC
"you are dead" -- I didn't press that button!
I once died after 26 steps
our most used tags: [identify-this-game] [steam] [ps3] [dwarf-fortress] [starcraft-2] [strategy] [game-rec] [pc] [xbox-360]
21:41
One of those tags makes me feel like tearing all my pillows up and scattering the pieces about the room.

protip: it's game-rec asdafdfadfsad
foams at the mouth, collapses
for me it's [dwarf-fortress] [steam] [pc] [source-engine]
I want a dwarf-fortress badge :(
:<
answer more DF questions, and get upvotes!
21:44
:O
Gold dwarf-fortress badger
the one I least expected it from!
Yeah, I found that one ironic
also, how did you screen-cap that so quickly?
Grace is one of them!
anyhub.net AnyHub Desktop
(it's under More..)
We're releasing a much better client soonish
no linux?
21:46
There is an un-official linux shell script somewhere
but it runs fine using mono
NO LINUX?!
oh
it's cross-platform
cool.
it's just that the progress-bar messes up
btw: good job on proper filesizes!
While we are at posting our stuff, I am
Platform agnostic, seemingly
:114003 You should know AnyHub :)
AnyHub ToS: bla bla bla as-is bla bla bla not liable bla bla bla no copyright infringement bla bla bla... nice, just the usual stuff.
@ArdaXi I know, but I don't use it. Much to Charlies annoyance :P
no need for anything unusual
:114010 I'm working on it now, it'll get better I promise
21:55
******ing segfaults...
2
I'm the one working with Charlie's code (actually I'm designing the entire thing from the ground up, stealing Charlie's code where fit)
@ArdaXi Not that - I have my own web hosting, so I don't bother. It's as easy shove it on my VPS
:114016 Just wait and see ;-)
this seems faster... and sometimes speed does matter.
shouldn't be much faster than a proper VPS..
let me see what speeds they report
100 megabit
21:57
lol, anyhub website glitch :D click the more link on the ToS page.
and then?
you forgot to return false;
I didn't make the current version btw, but nothing out of the ordinary happens here
it happens on all long pages, you get switched to the top of the page, with the more box out of view.
Anyone know C++? I'm probably doing something blatantly obvious wrong here, but I can't figure it out.

Q: Why does this segfault?

Machafor(ItemTemplateListIterator iter = item_template_list.begin(); iter != item_template_list.end(); ++iter) { int id = iter->first; string description = iter->second->description; some_file_stream << id << endl; some_file_stream << description << end...

That was the source of the segfault swearing.
22:12
wait... what... a wikipedia article with 376 references (sadly not suitable for posting here.)
A wikipedia article on fainbruck?
no, an article on the (accidental or intentional) removal of certain organ.
Ah! Yes. Yes, that sort of article.
well, I'm going to go beat up some 12 year-old girls.
Peace.
don't forget the missiles!
Magic missiles, actually.
I dislike technology because I own some kind of shrine in a forest, apparently.
22:18
Magic Missile, Magic Missile, Magic Missile, Magic Missile, Magic Missile, Magic Missile,
Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom
Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt,
Yeah, I remember these vids
and i'm allowed to joke about it, because i'm a LARPer too.
Yup!
22:22
wait... you too?
yeah man kind of sort of
I dislike dressing up though so I'll usually just play the peasant type
guess that sort of ruins the idea but whatever
a proper peasant played well adds to the story!
Yeah. Really though, I just like RPing in general
helps me focus on my writing
which I really need to do now because my writing is absolutely horrible these days
hurray, googlefu time
go ahead, i'm doing some browsing random.
hurray, got it
there's a difficulty slider
which affects the percentage of points that are awarded
22:32
neat-o
yeah maaaaan
why can't people put effort in their questions
anyway, @alexanderpas , I've tried hard but the issue you had with the more link is [status-norepro]
who ping'd me?
try reducing the height of your browser window so you need to scroll for the more link
also, shame on you @alexanderpas
how dare you bring game-rec into our household
22:37
maaaaaaaaaaan let's not cast shame on traitors, let's poke fun at them behind their backs
I just discovered that Grace Note is their leader..
That means she's active in those threads
not that she starts them
This is a mature decision I made after consulting with a team of expert gamers, which is to say, an elephant, a dwarf, a 12-year old, and an immobile housecat.
no, it means she created it
:114086 that's from the taxonomist page
22:39
she may have created the tag but she asks no game-rec
it was an edit to another post
what's more having a tag to describe these questions makes their destruction easier
Let me share now some words of great wisdom.
See no game-rec, hear no game-rec, speak no game-rec.
@alexanderpas answers
back when the site was young, even I thought game-rec was harmless
We didn't learn how bad it was till much later
I just provided proof!
22:40
:114100 those are answers
that she answered, not that she asked
I said she was active in those threads
By the way

Q: Ancient Amiga strategy space game's name, what was it?

Gustavo CarrenoWay back when I was in Uni. (1990-1997), I had a friend that was an Amiga "fanboy". Yes, very early to give him the name, but hey, he was!! He introduced me to a game that I was completely hooked, hey, hooked like it was a drug man... but I was never able to complete the game and it's been haunt...

22:41
" ...and/if it's still possible to play the game in some kind of emulator?"
Is that okay?
its possible its legal to play it in an emulator
GUILTY

Q: Any Dungeon Design Games out there?

alexanderpasI'm looking for games where you design your own dungeon for your minions to live in. Good examples are Dungeon Keeper Evil Genius Dwarf Fortress It is important that the minions should do the tedious work, while you can focus on the global picture, and be able to respond to unexpected situat...

vote to close!
:114110 True, but that means self-made emulator
Let he who is without game-rec cast the first vote.
I voted
22:43
Why not make this a canonical example?
Take the examples provided in the question and turn them into a CW answer
that's you
:114122 But you are one of them. You're an asker.
Your ego is most astounding, @alexanderpas
I AM ASHAMED YOUNG MAN.
err guys, it's tzenes
22:44
he ment to link my answer
he edited it
You'll also note I closed that question
oh
should i point back to area 51 or shoudn't ;)
cool.
I know :D
closed as subjective and argumentative by Ivo Flipse, Mana, C. Ross, tzenes, Grace Note♦ Aug 5 at 18:13
I think Alexander's game-rec question is good, though.
I was ignorant once in my salad days
I'm racking my database of games and I actually can't think of any solid examples.
I know of a couple
Overlord

A: How can I tell which layers there are in an in-progress fortress in Dwarf Fortress?

tzenesOk, I'm going to give you a crash course in Geology. In traditional Geology there are three kinds of Rock: Sedimentary, Metamorphic and Igneous (actually that's an over simplification, but pretend its true). Dwarf Fortress is modeled on this system but it further breaks Igneous down into Igneou...

I love this answer
You know too much.
you, my sir, are crazy. (;))
I added a section on flux
You know too much++
That settles it. @tzenes is our Jon Skeet.

I really liked Geology in College
we got to go on field trips
take measurements on actual rock
23:10
maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
you're insane
depends on how his other classes were...
They were largely programming classes
maaaaaan
same here
except I'm not in University yet
Makes sense. Geology + Programming = DF
Two more weeks, yay
23:12
haha
I just realised they added a new category to Steam HW surveys
I love the top result
100% of Steam users have Steam installed
lol --- Mozilla Firefox 63.05% --- Microsoft Internet Explorer 19.82%
hm, almost 60% NVidia, did not expect that
developpers not releasing for mac are losing 5% sales.
how is this question still alive?

Q: Are there any PC games like Jedi Power Battles?

The SasquatchThere was a game I used to play on the DreamCast called something like Jedi Power Battles. Is there a version of that I could play on the PC not using an emulator? If not are there any other PC games that are like it? (Two player co-op with leveling characters.)

23:21
Kill it with fire!
:114182 Compare that to the cost of developing for Mac.
Doesn't seem economical to me
damnit, needs one more!
If I star your comment expressing how amazed you are over its lack of closure, hopefully someone will take interest and look at the context, giving us our desired fifth vote.
I don't know, look at what valve did with the source engine... if your engine runs on both platforms, there are no (substantial) additional costs
:114190 Think about the costs of porting the Source engine to Mac in the first place though..
@alexanderpas your game is more than just an engine
23:25
Besides, every mod still has to be ported individually
file management, threading, sockets, testing, etc
Of course for Valve the Mac conversion rate will be higher than 5%
:114196 Depends on how high-level your approach is though
If you're using cross-platform libraries for those things it'll be pretty painless
The biggest problem is the renderer, since Source was initially DirectX-based
afaik it had also (software) opengl as option.
GoldSrc, not Source

Q: Where do the third party stats sites get their data?

Peter RecoreBoth sc2ranks.com and rts-sanctuary provide stats on starcraft 2 rankings. where do they get their data? is it a special deal they have with Blizzard, or are they accessing a public feed that Blizzard supplies, or are they scraping the battlenet web site somehow? UPDATE: After reading the post ...

Is this on-topic?
23:28
I don't think so
This is a "how the hell should we know?" question.
Dunno. Is there some kind of Starcraft 2 API?
it's a "where can i find the api" question.
Rule of Three?
oh
that was an answer
:)
anyway, it is rather late, I shall retire for the night..
23:34
old fashioned spidering :D
Good night all.
maaaaaaaan
I totally thought I had that identify-Amiga question
it was even all like "Man, the only thing you're fighting against ever are the Martians, man!! Martians!!!" so I was like "sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet got it"
I'm still amazed at how fast site questions are indexed on google.
I googled amiga space strategy game within not even a minute of that question coming up and it was already the top result
there's an SEO award for @jeff in the starred list.
SEO award?
23:47
Yeah, but...what's a SEO award?
oh
maybe I should check the context
search engine optimalisation :D
Ohhhh
gotcha.
Time to take another run through unanswered questions...
