and yes, i've found both the 1-up and the +50% life, and did not have to waste a blue twintail to get them, i simply rode the enemy projectiles.

Grace Note

Of course

alexanderpas

okay, that was fun... got to do the second area another time (no point in wasting it all now...)

was just thinking... how high can you make your chain at the spawn mirror (why didn't i tought of that while playing the game?)

Grace Note

That's a very, very slow method that will require a lot of good timing to get it to work

Since your only steady source of projectile is what you're attacking, but they don't come out all that fast.

alexanderpas

slow but steady?

yeah... missing one is bad...

@hgpc The reason one is closed and the other isn't is a simple matter of the other one not currently being closed. It used to be closed

up for discussion: what is it with runescape?

tzenes

never played it

any good?

Admittedly, it's been like a dozen years since I played it, but...

Ah, should head to bed, actually. Big day tomorrow.

Q: Starcraft 2 Patch 1.1

Starcraft 2 Patch 1.1 Details came out, in a nut shell Blizzard is trying to balance out damage against armor units and to provide players with better rush defense/counters. How should I start preparing for these changes?

:131334 Undeleted out of respect for the answer.

FallenAngelEyes

Good afternoon all

Shouldn't an answer not be a criteria for undeletion? If the question is not helpful, a dupe, etc., why should we undelete it?

Arda Xi

:131460 I don't think it should've been deleted in the first place

closed, maybe, but not deleted

FallenAngelEyes

Was this reopened?

Q: Gaming quotes and memes that have made their way into the real world?

I know the quote "The Cake is a lie" has made its way into the real world because I've heard non-gamers say it in an attempt to be cryptic. Are there any other quotes or memes like that which have come into common parlance after being coined in the gaming world? EDIT: I would suggest the word ...

meme gamer-culture

Arda Xi

It was never closed, so no

FallenAngelEyes

I don't really understand why that one remains open

Arda Xi

11:42

it's too localised really

I've never seen any of these IRL

and I've definitely never heard of zerg, despite having playes many RTS and MMOs

FallenAngelEyes

It's not really even a question and it definitely doesn't require "expert" opinions

not to mention the subjectivity of what constitutes "real world." I've actually heard several of these terms used by people IRL, but I hang around with gamer nerds, so...

Arda Xi

:131471 I wish I did... :P

FallenAngelEyes

I mean, if it asked about "What's the origin of this popularly used gaming term?" we could possibly leave it open, but as it stands, I think it's a rather poor example of a question we want on the frontpage.

Wow I think it's actually not raining today for once

Heading out to town, later all

radp

11:59

I just voted to close that one as off topic

I'm sure (?) an English SE would love it

Macha

We need a close reason for "another bloody hugely broad list".

radp

12:24

If a list is bloody hugely, make a category for it on wikipedia and put games under it, then link to the category listings!!

Arda Xi

@badp, stop trying to outsource the answers :(

or set up a proposal for lmgtfy.stackexchange.com

radp

12:48

:131485 Is it really outsourcing? Wikipedia content uses our very own license.

Arda Xi

it's not the same site

using the same licence only makes copying easier

radp

We don't want people to come to our site for a list of MMO's anyway, right?

Arda Xi

maybe not, but we should fix that by not answering, not by redirecting

Q: How do we widen our range of games?

In this question, it was asked whether we had too many SC2 questions. The consensus was, of course, that the amount of SC2 questions was fine, and the problem was a lack of other games. However, I didn't realise how bad the problem was until tzenes posted this graph: So, why is our growth com...

Arda Xi

since when does the SE network have single sign-on?

didxga

13:37

hi

Arda Xi

good aftenoon @didxga

radp

14:12

So chances are we'll become ThatOneLevel, after all.

Mana

Awesome.

radp

Who knows, maybe my questoverload.com proposed domain name can fit the DnD SE better

Here's how to ignore a decent 70% of Gaming:

xbox* ipod* ipad* wii facebook kde mac starcraft* *warcraft* team-fortress-2 final-fantasy* ps* dwarf-fortress real-time-strategy ds rpg pokemon*

I should probably change team-fortress-2 in team-fortress* however.

Arda Xi

or just xbox ps3 pc

gets you quite far

radp

yeah, but does anybody have "xbox ps3 pc" as his ignored list?

:/

Arda Xi

:131529 does anybody have

xbox* ipod* ipad* wii facebook kde mac starcraft* *warcraft* team-fortress-2 final-fantasy* ps* dwarf-fortress real-time-strategy ds rpg pokemon*

as his ignored list? :P

radp

14:25

I do :P

Arda Xi

wow, it's incredible how much slower DF runs on my notebook

Mana

Hey, just making sure: Is asking for tips on how to be a good driver in Mafia II considered suitable for the site?

Arda Xi

ugh, another alternative to Q&A, a question with multiple questions, Q&Q&A

:131540 depends, would it be a list question?

and is it subjective?

Mana

That's true.

hmm, maybe if I reworded it "Safe driver" and specified that I don't want people honking at me or crashing into me.

naw, too much trouble, I'll just think of something else to ask about the game.

FallenAngelEyes

oh wow someone besides me plays Beat Hazard!

Mana

14:35

I play Beat Hazard...

:<

radp

aww, who ruined my average!

Mana

It's like everything I want in a game. I can play my own music and I get to shoot things and there are pretty colors.

radp

I had 1 view, 1 upvote and 1 star!

Now I have 4 views, 2 upvotes and 2 stars!

Unacceptable!

@Mana, it's kinda fun, but I can't help shake the feeling that, had Beat Hazard been written by the makers of Audiosurf, it would have been a better game.

Mana

hmm, I guess.

radp

Audiosurf is exactly as intense as the song. Beat Hazard can (and does) send you a boss during dead moments of a song, where your weapons don't do jack shit.

FallenAngelEyes

14:37

I think it's hard to compare the two

Arda Xi

:131553 where?

Mana

maaaaaaan

I'm stuck. I actually don't know what to say to this.

I guess we could design a super sexy awesome banner for the site and go around posting on forums these people hang out at.

Macha

What happened to quicksave and quickload?

Mana

Oh, hey.

Macha

@Mana Neither do I, hoping someone does

FallenAngelEyes

14:47

I think the only thing we can do is ask more questions, really

Mana

That's true.

FallenAngelEyes

Linking to established communities could definitely be helpful, but we'd need to be careful of not coming off as link spammers, otherwise the comms might ignore us altogether :(

Mana

That's the thing, though. The best way to do it is to infiltrate a community, gain respect and friends, and then mention to them that you have this site you think they'd be interested in.

That takes time. Months of time, usually.

FallenAngelEyes

But that can take... yeah

And we have... how many days left in beta?

Mana

I think 40 now

39

Macha

14:49

We're on day 51

of 9

FallenAngelEyes

Yeah, so 39...

Mana

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE

Macha

If webapps makes it, we should be fine.

But I'd still like to beat Server Fault :P

Mana

Yeah...I don't know.

FallenAngelEyes

Also, was reading last night's backscroll, what the hell is this? chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/131429

Mana

14:51

Okay. I vouch for a plan. Today, each of us will post at least two questions.

radp

I've posted my first question already =)

Mana

Awesome.

I'll play through Mafia II and think of ways I can rework my safe driving question so that it has an objective answer that isn't a giant list, as well as other related questions.

FallenAngelEyes

My problem is that most of the questions I tend to ask about games are kind of subjective, like build advice, good class guides, stuff that requires discussion, etc. :/ I don't often have straight Q&A type questions

radp

Remember, red means "go through really fast"

Grace Note

Morn all

radp

14:54

Morning

Grace Note

Morn, @badp

FallenAngelEyes

Or stuff that's localized, like wondering about the cymbals for RB3 and compatibility

Heya Grace

Grace Note

Morn, @Fall Leaves

radp

You know what, I think beta SE's would be much more meaningful if they didn't create eleventy every week

FallenAngelEyes

>_>

Macha

14:55

@badp The reason is, they're trying to go through the proposals quickly

Grace Note

Is there all that much overlap between proposals?

Macha

Though some (Wordpress, Ubuntu, Apple) really should be part of other sites.

Arda Xi

:131598 it reached critical mass a bit too quickly

Grace Note

Though admittedly, when I look at everyone's profile, I start to wonder if I'm the only person who bothered to participate in only one Beta

Arda Xi

:131604 me too

Grace Note

14:56

I don't think I've ever actually looked at your profile

Arda Xi

I tried committing to the english proposal but it made me feel guilty about not giving Gaming enough attention

Grace Note

I committed to Game Dev at first, but withdrew well before it went into Beta

FallenAngelEyes

Yeah, I looked at English as well but I decided the same, @ArdaXi

Grace Note

I do game dev after all, but I feel I'll be more useful here

Arda Xi

I tried doing game dev but decided I needed to finish math first :)

Macha

14:57

I committed to Unix, Webmasters and WebApps. Webmasters and WebApps I did, but after the commitment was done left.

I'm not hugely active in Unix, but I'm getting there.

Grace Note

Which reminds me of thoughts on what the average age of our site is

Arda Xi

:131614 25

Grace Note

That's our average or yours, @Arda?

Arda Xi

I could calculate the actual average age

Grace Note

My average age is apparently 19

Arda Xi

14:59

but everyone I've seen is between 20-30

:131616 No, I'm 15

Grace Note

Some outliers, though. There is one community that is convinced I am in my late 30s

Macha

I'm 17.

Arda Xi

your average age?

Grace Note

"Too responsible! And good DMing skills can't come from youth. I'd say late 30s", is a rough paraphrase

Macha

No, my age.

Grace Note

15:00

@Arda The average age people peg me for

FallenAngelEyes

Wouldn't having an average age imply that you had several? >_>

Arda Xi

ah

:131626 You decide your entire personality on how people perceive you in a community?

Grace Note

No

I'm turning 23 in a few days.

Macha

For some reason, a few people thought I was a girl at first... Not here, but on Twitter

Arda Xi

:131631 I was referring to the conversation we had regarding your gender a couple weeks back :-)

Grace Note

15:01

My personality is myself. I've long since abandoned the notion of betraying my self

You had a conversation about my sex 3 days ago!

FallenAngelEyes

I'm not in the habit of ascribing personality traits to gender, so I never assume people are male or female

Macha

:131624 Sadly, all my friends lame enough to play D&D etc. are already playing WoW :(

Arda Xi

:131635 well.. yeah.. but there was one before that too

Grace Note

It's right in the transcript, shortly after the whole debacle on "answers that link content"

According to tzenes, there have been more than a few discussions on my sex

@Macha My brother and I convinced our friends to halt WoW to play DnD.

Arda Xi

That's.. flattering, in a way, I guess

Macha

15:02

:131641 Lucky :P

Grace Note

Well, I'll say it clearly again, since only tzenes was around last time

I honestly don't care what pronoun people use to refer to me. Treat me as whatever sex makes you feel comfortable

I'll continue to behave as myself. I'm not going to act more masculine or feminine based on how people perceive me.

I generally stick with Parasect, but it doesn't get Mean Look

Macha

@GraceNote Did you see this?

Grace Note

I just saw it earlier

Macha

:131649 Mean Look is the most important part, given the context.

Arda Xi

dwarves that forego any celebrations when getting married are so considerate :D

Grace Note

15:05

Well, I don't know if it's as mean in HG/SS, but in FR/LG Mean Look is a BAD IDEA against the dogs

FallenAngelEyes

I personally don't really believe in the notions of "masculine/feminine"

lol @ArdaXi

Grace Note

Because Mean Look prevents them from running away - it does not prevent them from using Roar, which will actually count as permanently ending their existence

FallenAngelEyes

oh, Macha, may I give you some feedback on your blog post?

Macha

@GraceNote In HG/SS all fainted/etc legendaries respawn after a week.

@FallenAngelEyes Go ahead

Grace Note

Yeah, it's a lot nicer, but do Entei and Raikou still have Roar?

Macha

15:08

@GraceNote I presume they do

Grace Note

Oooh, there IS a pokemon that can get all 3

Well, let's first see if it's physically possible to have all 3

FallenAngelEyes

Quick question first, where are you from, Macha?

Macha

Ireland.

FallenAngelEyes

Ah okay, you use British rules then, yes?

Macha

Yes

FallenAngelEyes

15:10

I'll skip my first point then

as it's a difference point between British and American punctuation usage, which I just realized I should ask about first

Macha

@FallenAngelEyes Which is what anyway? I'm curious.

FallenAngelEyes

Constantly getting ordered around “dig this, dig that”, “build a floodgate here, release the lava there”.

Arda Xi

I'm actually not sure if that's an American/English difference

FallenAngelEyes

American usage is to put terminal punctuation within quotation marks, whereas British usage is to put it outside

Arda Xi

I thought it's just allowed either way

Macha

15:12

Ah, punctuation inside quotation marks?

FallenAngelEyes

Aye

But since you use British rules, that's fine :) Don't wanna step on toes in that manner

Macha

kk

Arda Xi

yeah, it differs in English rules... Americans always put it inside

anyway, you had more points? :P

FallenAngelEyes

If the critique isn't welcome, I won't offer it, I'm just trying to help :(

Arda Xi

:131684 I think Macha did accept it... just ignore me

Macha

15:16

@FallenAngelEyes It's fine. Keep going.

Grace Note

@Macha With regards to your Meta question by the way, don't ask me. I come from the communities that are almost impossible to attract here

Import gamers and niche gamers always operate in groups, because they rely on each other to get news of when there are releases

Macha

@GraceNote kk. Your opinion is usually useful, which is why I pointed it out to you.

Grace Note

The consequence of this is that they all play the game together, they all solve each other's problems together, and they don't have an outside source to resort to because no one else who speaks the same language will have heard of the game.

The MMT question asked by tzenes is a perfect illustration of this example, actually

FallenAngelEyes

"They just have to map out an area. By pressing d, then selecting a few tiles." <-Those sentences should be connected, as the second one isn't really a full sentence

Are d and D different commands in DF? Can't remember off the top of my head

Grace Note

If I hadn't been touting that ridiculously long name around so often, it's very easy for such an under-advertised game to be completely missed by the community. Instead, someone within the community ends up asking within the community, because they heard of the game there and can only truly know that place to be a source of answers.

Macha

15:19

Yes

Arda Xi

Yeah, D shows depot access.

FallenAngelEyes

Might want to italicize d, just for a little more stylistic clarity

Macha

kk

Added in (will save once all changes are done)

Grace Note

We should come up with a convention for the blog to represent key commands

Since we won't have <kbd> nor backticks

FallenAngelEyes

Have any of them picked up a pickaxe like a real dwarf, and dug their way through the rock? <-don't need that comma there

Grace Note

15:20

Italics sounds good

Macha

ahem <kbd> is HTMl

HTML*

Usually monospaced.

It's not markdown specific.

Grace Note

Will it work on the blog?

FallenAngelEyes

We should probably use that then, aye?

Grace Note

If it's not obvious, I'm terribly new to this whole blogging thing. Never even looked at one until after I graduated college

Macha

Checking now

Arda Xi

15:21

Unless Wordpress.com allows editing CSS it won't work

Macha

@ArdaXi It allows picking a theme

Arda Xi

:131715 only pre-installed ones, no?

Macha

Our theme monospaces it, which isn't terribly obvious for single keys :(

Arda Xi

you'd have to find one with rules for kbd then

unless.

one sec

Macha

Right, I just stuck in some inline CSS for now. (Shoot me)

Arda Xi

15:24

you can try

<kbd style="padding:2px 4px;white-space:nowrap;color:#000;background:#eee;border-width:1px 3px 3px 1px;border-style:solid;border-color:#ccc #aaa #888 #bbb;">

Macha

Nope. Wordpress strips inline CSS :(

Arda Xi

d'aw

FallenAngelEyes

And the way they treat us, it’s like we are expendable. Just because we don’t know which side of a floodgate is which. <-(I really like the dialogue tone you've taken, so trying to work within that for correction stuff) I think it might work a little better if you used an ellipsis between "us" and "it's," as they're technically 2 clauses. Also, perhaps consider an exclamation point after "which," which would make the sentence a bit stronger.

Macha

Done

Also, asked on the Wordpress SE for a theme that styles kbd elements more obviously.

0

Q: Is there a wordpress.com theme that has styling for kbd elements other than monospacing them?

Just a problem we ran into while setting up the (currently unofficial, hence wordpress.com) Gaming SE blog. As you can see on the latest DF post, kbd elements are styled as monospaced with the current theme. Is there a wordpress.com theme that styles them a bit more obviously, such as italics? I'...

themes wordpress.com

Arda Xi

@Macha their -> there

Macha

15:31

I noticed in the preview

cringes How'd I do that?

Arda Xi

don't worry, it happens

look at the way the df wiki does kbd styling maybe

FallenAngelEyes

It won't let me send a message because it's too long dangit, haha

"I mean, as long as you remember not to dig too far down through the adamantium, and to brew enough drinks for us working dwarves, by building your stills, and giving a few dwarves jobs as brewers, by pressing q, and telling them to brew a drink, life is fine."

<-The sentence as it stands has some awkward pauses as a dialogue with the commas.

Try "I mean, as long as you remember not to dig too far down through the adamantium, to brew enough drinks for us working dwarves by building your stills, and giving a few dwarves jobs as brewers by pressing q and telling them to brew a drink, life is fine."

Plus the keyboard command, however we end up emphasizing that.

Grace Note

... CARP

FallenAngelEyes

"For those who don’t like the diagrams done by my good friend Urist McText," <-should have a comma between "friend" and "Urist"

o.O?

Grace Note

I just unlocked something and I still didn't actually figure out what the condition was

Arda Xi

15:35

:131745 not sure about that, I think you can go both ways

Grace Note

They tell you the condition but I don't remember the meaning of these particular kanji

FallenAngelEyes

In the context of the entire sentence, it's parenthetical

Macha

kk

FallenAngelEyes

Just if you do lead a fort some day, <-would probably put a comma after "Just" there, as if you said it out loud, you'd have a slight pause there

Macha

done

FallenAngelEyes

15:38

Actually, now that I think of it, their are a lot of new fortresses being built lately. <-their/there problem again

Macha

Evidently, my brain turns off at times.

FallenAngelEyes

hehe

Grace Note

I wonder if we actually have any Japanese users on Gaming

FallenAngelEyes

Gonna skip listing all the commands and stuff, cuz I presume you'll fidget with those later if/when there's an answer to the monospace question

Grace Note

Admittedly I don't really know a whole lot. The only sampling I know is Irish, Argentinian, Hollish, and Italian

(users, I mean)

Arda Xi

15:41

Hollish?

Grace Note

I like saying Dutch too, but Hollish is more fun (and a Penny Arcade reference)

Arda Xi

Oh.. right

FallenAngelEyes

never heard that one

Arda Xi

me neither

UD says: it is considered more accurate than "Dutch"

Grace Note

Gimmeh a moment

FallenAngelEyes

15:42

I know the best of us go into some strange moods at time <-I think you mean "at times" here?

Arda Xi

but... hollish only covers like 1/6th of our country

Grace Note

penny-arcade.com/comic/2003/3/28

Arda Xi

I kinda have a pet peeve with the Holland pars pro toto

Grace Note

The Holland what?

FallenAngelEyes

Yeah, Holland's technically only some of the western bits

Arda Xi

15:44

:131795 Holland is a region of The Netherlands, kinda like our trading hub.. so people used to only come into contact with it

Macha

@FallenAngelEyes That all the changes?

Grace Note

Ah

FallenAngelEyes

But, that’s no good if you get attacked by a dragon, or a titan <-don't really need the second comma there. The first is either/or, stylistic choice really. The second feels a bit extraneous though

Arda Xi

Basically everything foreigners know about Dutch culture is really only Holland's culture, which is really different outside of that region

Grace Note

I see.

FallenAngelEyes

15:46

like Brabant's insanity around Carnival

You’ll need a force of dedicated axedwarves and marksdwarves to deal with those nasties, if you don’t want your fort to get ruined. You’ll need to have the smiths make weapons for them, and build them a barracks to train in. <-don't need either of those commas

My father was an sculptor <-an should be a

Macha

That originally read engraver, so that's why that happened.

Fixed

FallenAngelEyes

Why, just appoint some engraves <-assuming that should be "engravers"?

Macha

Yes.

Neither Chrome's nor Wordpress' spell checker picked it up, oddly.

Oh, wait, it is a proper word. Just the wrong one.

FallenAngelEyes

aye

That's it, methinks

Macha

Saved

Now, I have to go for now.

Grace Note

Well, that settles that...

Hey everyone... just checking out the new (to me) chat system for the first time. Looks pretty sweet! Now I'll really never get any work done, ha!

Grace Note

Hey, @Josh

Long time no see

Mads Elvheim

@Josh: Quick! Block port 80 before it's too late!

@Grace I came to gaming.stackexchenge.com from www.gamelegend.com (a former stackexchange site) and haven't had time to answer/ask as much as I'd like to... yet

Grace Note

I haven't even seen you on Meta for months, though

But, as you said, busy, aye?

The Unhandled Exception

yeah. makes me sad, I miss that place :-)

Grace Note

(I'm ccomet, by the way)

The Unhandled Exception

had to force myself to take an SOFU hiatus to get new projects done :-)

The Unhandled Exception

16:58

Ah HA!

Grace Note

Haa, I can't blame you there

The Unhandled Exception

I was trying to think of where we'd talked on Meta -- I knew Grace Note from gaming but not meta :-)

Grace Note

Indeed. You weren't around when I changed my display name

I like Grace Note. Easier to say, and it even looks like a proper name

The Unhandled Exception

I wasn't around for a LOT of stuff! I feel like so much happened during the ~6 weeks I was away, lol

The Unhandled Exception

I have a few more questions I asked on www.gamelegend.com which supposedly will be shut down soon -- I mostly created them to "seed" that site with some initial content. Think it would be a good idea to copy those to gaming.stackexchange.com for the same motive (seeding this site with some questions)?

Only if you actually need the answers

Don't ask for asking's sake.

radp

Out of curiosity, what's with the yellow border around some tags?

The Unhandled Exception

Gotcha. Most I don't, I was asking them for the wiki-ish philosiphy

The Unhandled Exception

@badp like which ones?

:131872 Like those around your most voted question there

snes, rpg, spoiler

The Unhandled Exception

@badp OH! You mean on gamelegend.com. LOL

The Unhandled Exception

I was looking on gaming.stackexchange.com

The Unhandled Exception

I have no idea.

radp

oh, I see we agree then :D

Mads Elvheim

Anyone of you play Moonbase Commander? I've been looking for people to play with for a while (-:

gamelegend.comis probably going away gamelegend.com/questions/254/…

radp

Question 254? :|

The Unhandled Exception

@badp yes we agree

The Unhandled Exception

Question 254 is where the owner of GameLegend talked about why the site will soon be closed

radp

I was rather commenting on the total number of questions. (162)

Disheartening, really.

The Unhandled Exception
