Q: I gave up this minesweeper board, is there a correct move that makes this solveable with certainty?

I have stared at this board for way too long and can't figure out how to move on. As far as I can tell the main problem is the bottom part with the double stacked '4'. It seems to me that I have multiple possible solutions there that would all work out, so I can't decide for certainty which one ...

I wouldn't mind watching that one @Nzall

Fredy31

12:20

@Nzall Yeah I should go see it.

What is funny is the France translation, that translated the title of the movie as 'Free Player' which is... in english.

So they 'translated the name' by just putting another name, still in english

Can a moderator migrate this question to Math.SE? Even though it's related to Minesweeper, I think a very fair point was made that since it's about probability, it's probably a better fit for Math.SE.

13:13

@Fredy31 thanks for the feedback; went ahead and deleted it. If it's a dupe on Math and not a good fit for here, no need to keep it around.

Fredy31

@Tacoタコス we were discussing it in the mods chat... yeah its a little effy

like we cant migrate it, it would be a dupe, but we shouldn't close it because its a valid question

was about to just copy paste the math answer in your Q

but I had the call of a PB&J

@SaintWacko i vaguely remembering someone posting a data explorer query that did this at some point

fredley

@SaintWacko No, only lied to

SaintWacko

15:09

@Yuuki I looked at the data explorer, but I couldn't figure out how to search the queries

Yuuki

@SaintWacko you've got a score of 31

and mine's 30? honestly didn't expect it to be so high, given that i mostly ignore the review queues

Looks like the most innovative pokemon in years

Yuuki

@Wipqozn POKEMON. LEGENDS. POKEMON. LEGENDS. POKEMON. LEGENDS.

but also, that's not a particularly high bar to clear

Wrigglenite

15:44

@Wipqozn So what do you do in this game?

Yuuki

@Wipqozn wait, mt. coronet?

ah, so this is ancient black/white

Yeah, the gameplay video says that it's the region that would later be known as Sinnoh

Yuuki

@Wrigglenite yeah, that one

Fredy31

@Yuuki Think one of them is 'participate in an election'

I suddenly went from 30 to 31 in score in this election lol

Yuuki

15:50

@Wrigglenite seems like it's more exploration-based than "go through this gym progression"

@Wrigglenite Dodge polar bears.

@TimmyJim On the Code Name Steam question on titles, I'm putting together a list of which abilities appear on the confirmation screen. Should I post it as a separate answer or edit into yours?

@Yuuki what would my score be?

Timmy Jim

The only reason I did not list all of the abilities is because it was hard finding info on them on the internet. So I guess edit? @Stevoisiak

Yuuki

@Stevoisiak data.stackexchange.com/gaming/query/1449838/moderator-score

34?

Stevoisiak

@TimmyJim Cool. I plan on using my copy of the game to confirm

It seems only abilities that affect the entire team show up on that page

So it wouldn't be a full ability list

Timmy Jim

Interesting!

Wipqozn

16:23

@Ronan @RavenDreamer?

Nzall

16:50

@Yuuki hmm, I have 27

Stevoisiak

@TimmyJim It turns out abilities that affect the entire team have an icon on the character select screen

Timmy Jim

17:14

That makes sense given you had 4 characters but only 3 abilities shown @Stevoisiak

Q: Rename [wotl-eternal] -> [the-binding-of-isaac-eternal]

In 2015 this question was asked, so I created the tag wotl-eternal which was a free DLC for The binding of Isaac, and an improvement for Wrath of the lamb DLC. At that time we still had the 25 characters limit for tags, so I had to improvise. Since I can't suggest a tag synonym (I miss 5 score in...

discussion status-completed tags tag-rename-request

Q: Ideas to bring more users to the SE Chat?

Maybe it would bring more people to the site if we pushed the chat a little more. Right now, the only mention I can see that there is a chat is the link in the footer. So, I'm pooling you all for some ideas. What could be done to bring more users to the chat?
