@BenBrocka I think shmups is also because it's a lot less... fitting in here. I mean, you don't really have all this strategy and meta building in shmups as you do in other games. It's more of a "survival of the fittest", it is all about training your ability to see through patterns. The answer to nigh any boss is "Dodge better".
@GraceNote There's often specific places that are safer on bosses though. And there's the more general questions like "how do I get secret achievement" "what's worth more points" etc
I've searched all over the Mass Effect Wiki and can't find a page that has all the information I'm looking for. I was hoping to find something similar to the Playthrough 2 page on Borderlands Wiki but it seems no such page exists, or no such page is easily findable via the logical search terms I...
Well there's forum signatures and forum fucking signatures that never goddamn end and are at least ten times as high as the non-witty oneliner they are invariably linked with
JasonBerkan's point is relevant, though, and that brings another point against Fighting Game-ness and that's the rather individual forthcoming-ness that exists within the Q&A system. People need to ask for information to get posted.
@JasonBerkan That's okay. I'm happy to know that there are questions GameFAQs doesn't answer, actually; the guides I've read there are usually rather thorough. It doesn't mean it's a problem if people ask questions covered by GameFAQs.
@GraceNote My experience with asking questions about fighting games is that responses tend to be hostile and invariably result in, "Lern 2 play, noob."
Whereas, in a good community, you have frame analysis and combo lists and match up data and all the rest of that meta available for perusing. In varying amounts of readability, granted, but it's basically an entire encyclopaedia where it's done right. It's all about research there, rather than Q&A.
We would have to fix tagging to really organize content better, but I suspect hell will freeze over before we get a tagging system that actually makes sense for the site
@James I was just commenting on the subject. It wasn't directed at you. The reply was merely for context.
> Comparing these attacks to the 'occupy' protests Anonymous notes that instead of people occupying an area, it is their computers occupying a website for a particular period of time.
No, it's like calling a business over and over or going into a place and shouting as loud as you can so the people can't hear legitimate customers.
Does he ask the same, tired questions others ask (at a rate of once or more per minute)? Does he clearly lack the ability or inclination to ask the almighty Google? Does he refuse to take the time to ask coherent, specific questions? Does he think helping him must be the high point of your day? Does he get offensive, as if you need to prove to him why he should use Ruby on Rails? Is he obviously just waiting for some poor, well-intentioned person to do all his thinking for him? Can you tell he really isn’t interested in having his question answered, so much as getting someone else to do his…
@OrigamiRobot It's worse, it's more like swarming a store so no one can go in. You can picket (in some cases) but you can't physically prevent people from using a building/service, that's illegal
What I really want are crafting systems that can be customized out the yinyang. You can build a base item with X, Y, and Z. But you can modify the functionality by maybe adding in A, increase the output by moving Y into position B, or cause a completely different effect by putting in Z in reverse.
It just occurred to me that, for the majority of alien species in the Mass Effect series, I haven't noticed any female representation.
Species I've seen females of:
Human
Quarian
Rachni
And... wow, that's it. Now there are actually several species we can logically exclude from a list of t...
@badp 55 for us.. and no I do not consider this real minecraft.. I consider it a FUBAR most of the time and a royal pain in the ass.. I would have stopped hosting it if I had not gotten 2 other admins to test it out.
@OrigamiRobot Working on a project. Needing a secondary positive effect and a secondary negative effect but most traditional options are either used up on other effects or would not fit the essence here.
I was hoping to transfer my Knights of Pen and Paper save information between multiple Android devices. Does anyone know where I might find the relevant files? My devices are rooted.
Thanks a lot!

So! I've made a giant mob spawner/killer up in the sky (y=220-235) over an ocean. Light level 1 spawn floors, 540 block area, 3 high, periodic water flush that pushes mobs into a pit, where fall damage kills them.
Problem is, mobs seems to rarely spawn inside, and endermen just vanish. I know th...
Basically, instead of "Silence, the status effect that robs you of the ability to speak and thus makes you unable to cast spells in most settings", this is "Silence, the absence of noise and disturbance, maintained if necessary."
Disclaimer: There is a related question, describing missing in-game sound. This is about the game crashing on start up and starting only with the -nosound flag (obviously deactivating sound output).
When Bioshock is started on Windows 7 (Steam version), it shows a splash screen with the Bioshock...
@fbueckert I watched all but the first two or three seasons. I am actually not sure when I jumped in but then I ended up watching all the rest from that point on up until the finale.
By billing the company for the emergency work, and providing the documentation, it's a way to go, "We did our jobs. We wouldn't have had to do this if Mr. Moron over there had read the email properly."
I just reversed the issue for all 'employees' on the system - since he insists on breaking the system by logging in with an sa level account with an accompanying lack of permissions in the application he doesn't show as an employee
In questions like What is the genre of music in Katamari called? and Who sings 'Embrace the Heresy'? where the main question is not about a problem, rather than that, about a feature that is unknown to the OP. Like those two examples above.
How should we treat this?
identify-this-game was a Bad Tag. It was applied to Bad Questions. It is gone forever, and I could not be happier.
But it appears, that we have been throwing some babies out with our admittedly filthy bathwater.
So, before I move on, I want to talk for a second about why identify-this-game is b...
