Q: Can I throw away contents of my Steam Inventory?

MargaretI have a number of items in my Steam inventory that are never going to get used; for example, some AirMech 2 "gifts" that are marked as NO LONGER VALID. Is there some way to get rid of them so I don't have them cluttering up my inventory? Obviously I could do a one-sided trade with a friend, bu...

 
@kalina What are you talking about? You're always up at all hours.
 
@MBraedley hardly
 
@kalina Turning a new leaf then? Also, it is Friday night (Saturday morning).
 
even if I was going to stay up tonight, I wouldn't be chatting in here anyway
 
12:08 AM
@kalina There's something I was going to say that you would undoubtedly object to, so I'm not going to say it.
 
feel free to say it
 
So instead, I'll say goodnight
@kalina I thought you wanted to reduce your star bait posts...
 
I'd much rather know where I stand than keep wasting my time here
what have I said that is star baiting?
 
nothing, but what I was thinking would have elicited a star bait response
 
Last launch before dance class.
 
12:11 AM
@MBraedley so are you going to tell me?
 
@kalina I was going to imply that the reason you wouldn't be chatting all night was because of activities that normally take place in a bedroom. And I don't mean sleep.
 
I'm at home
because otherwise I'd have to tolerate the formula one
 
@fbueckert Seems a little late to be holding a dance class.

Q: Java Game Layout

user2407444I am designing a Game Interface in Java. It consists of a Message Box in the bottom left corner of the screen, and a Side Bar which is 350px wide and the whole height of the Screen.

@Ullallulloo that reminds me of Monster Rancher
 
@kalina What!?
@Ullallulloo WHAT!?!
 
@MBraedley From DeviantArt. I first saw it here though.
 
12:56 AM
@Ullallulloo I think that reply is wrong...
 
@MBraedley Oh.
I've never heard of it.
I'm not Autstrailian.
 
GTX 650 Ti Boost. The name is obtuse, but if my research is correct this is the best value for money mid range graphics card right now?
 
@Ullallulloo Neither is @kalina or myself. It's just good sci-fi. There's a reason it won a number of Saturn awards.
Also, I believe it aired on SyFy SciFi alongside (within a day) of the Aussie broadcast.
I know it aired on Space here in Canada alongside, and I'm pretty sure it aired on Sky 1 in the UK alongside.
@PrivatePansy Can you get a 660? The x60s tend to be the best bang/buck out of the nVidia lineup.
 
If I'm reading the price list correctly, the 660 is around S$80 more expensive than the 650
 
@MBraedley I don't have cable.
 
1:04 AM
@PrivatePansy And that's what, 25% more, or closer to 50% more?
@Ullallulloo It's also on Netflix AFAIK
@PrivatePansy Either way, I think it's only about a 10-20% performance boost.
 
The cheapest 650 Ti Boost is S$240, the cheapest 660 Ti is S$325
 
What's a 580 (or 590) going for these days? They're pretty much equivalent to a 650, and will probably have better lasting power.
@PrivatePansy ncix.com/products/…
 
ASUS Matrix GTX580 Platinum From S$585 Last Updated: 13 Nov 2012
This price list is a little outdated
 
Yeah, I can't even find a 580 on NCIX, so they probably aren't in stock anywhere else.
I know that 660 I linked isn't a titanium edition, but I'm pretty sure that bang/buck can't be beat ATM
Except by maybe an AMD 6000 or 7000

@GrumpyLazers Why was this downvoted? It's not a bad question. He just asked for a lot of details.
@badp What? Would you do the same if someone was answering that many questions?
 
@Brant I'm afraid it is because he asked 12 questions in a hour and downvoting all the questions would be pointless as it'd be detected as revenge downvoting
@Brant No. But questions are worth much less than answers.

A: Is there a question limit?

badpThere's no hard line here (literally; the 6 questions/day limit is currently disabled on this site), but if you ask 12 questions in a hour in a tag that's otherwise gotten 3 questions in ~47 months... you're likely asking too quickly.

Put yourself in the shoes of one of our answerers for this tag
If you have one question like those today, and another in a few days, and another in a week, you can give each of those the time they deserve and maybe even have some fun in answering
Now you're just presented with 12 questions. That probably means you're going to twelfth-ass the answers to each question because your free time today doesn't magically multiply by 12
 
I don't think there are a ton of SSBM experts just sitting around saying "Oh, if only I had the time to answer all these questions".
Anyway, as for the specific question that I was talking about, just because somebody asks for certain details doesn't mean a question needs to be broken down into multiple separate questions. (Example)
Anyway, sleepytime.
 
@Brant I didn't say that.

Any CD key can only be assosciated with a single account, and they already have that information.

> Dear Steam User,



This is an automated message generated by Steam account administration. It is being sent in response to a query made by a Steam user to discover all account names associated with this CD-key.

Steam account name: <my username>

You can use the above account name to log in to Steam. If you can't remember your password, click on the "Retrieve lost account" button on the Steam login screen.

The Steam Support Team
http://www.steampowered.com
 
maybe someone trying to retrieve their own account details entered a cd key wrong?
 
@TZHX Who knows? There's no details at all.
 
but I don't get it saying "this CD-key" and not saying what key, or for what game.
 
Yeah, there's nothing in there that details that.
Oh, it's an automated sort of deal for old CD-keys.
If you've forgotten your Steam account username, and you try to activate a CD-key that's already in use, there's a "Retrieve Account" button that sends an email to the owner of the account.
Theoretically, if you own both the CD-key and the email account, you now have your Steam username.
 
ah, I see.
 
1:23 PM
Too bad it doesn't tell you WHAT was tried to be activated.
I got this at 5 AM, so it definitely wasn't me.
 
probably some giveaway/free code you claimed that someone was trying?
 
maybe somebody got lucky with a CD key generator
 
Could be either of those.

oh, we can get OS info too
@badp there IS a retention report
but I don't know if there's a way to see which parts were rewound too, mostly just where people drop off
 
"Anonymous pootis has started typing a comment: «Fuck you fa...»"
 
Wow, 4 people watched from friggin MeeGo
 
@BenBrocka Yeah, I've seen that. You can see if people rewind to a part over and over because the percentage goes above 100%
 
@badp if that's how it works, it's not so explicit about it; there will be odd peaks where retention goes back up but it's not clear as to why
 
1:35 PM
@BenBrocka They used to explain that.
 
oh wow, this is awesome
what were they thinking?
 
@badp it still does that but there's no indication of why it's over 100% or why retention rises after initially falling
 
@BenBrocka I'm telling you, if you rewind over a part you're counted twice for that part
Basically 8% of my viewers watched the start twice and 5% watched the whole thing again.
 
Here's the thing though; what if 50% of viewers dropped off completely and 58% watched that part again? How would you know the difference?
It's especially annoying since, except for very short videos, a fairly low % will actually watch the whole thing
My average retention is around 4 minutes
 
@BenBrocka they probably fast forwarded to the middle of the video to see if things got interesting later on
when you start getting stuck in a puzzle for example I'll sometimes scroll through the thumbnails to see the part where you figure it out and skip there
 
1:42 PM
But I mean, how the hell do you know what % of "108%" is actually rewatching and is actually first watches? There's no way to tell except obviously the % over 100% isn't first watch
 
In this case I actually put an annotation skipping from ~0:20 to ~0:30 so that's why it bumps back up there
@BenBrocka You mean to say, how do you know if it's 100% + 8% or (say) 90% + 18%?
...you don't.

I think you mean moooooooooooooooore spam
 
@BenBrocka Why's Micheal Moore spamming on our site?
 
I think someone just had a free steak from that.

I'm having steak tomorrow!
It will be awesome.
 
As long as it doesn't spam over here, all is well :P
 
@fbueckert Steak is gross.

Oh wow. Out of the lifetime of one of my YouTube videos, only ~5.37% of all views were monetized.
 
@NightExcessive Did you monetize it at release?
 
@BenBrocka Yeah.
 
Huh, that's particularly low
is there an easy way to compare monetized/non monetized playbacks in analytics?
nvm I see
for my monetized videos it's usually closer to 50% monetized playbacks
my overall average is lower but I have several high-view videos that weren't approved for monetizing
Also, woot, 3 million views
