The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Me too but 1) Most of the changes ignore community feedback 2) The most vocal on meta don't like the changes 3) They appear to be focusing on the wrong things

Mithrandir

Right. I... kinda got snippy at Joe about the top bar a few months back.

TheLethalCarrot

7:48 AM

Most vocal on meta instead of most of the community just to be clear haha

I don't mind the top bar but to me it was a pointless change

Mithrandir

Especially now that left nav is apparently a thing.

TheLethalCarrot

If left nav is gonna do what I think it's gonna do then I have zero intention of using it

Although I'm still not entirely sure how much theme is changing so I may end up using it for the "Users" page

Mithrandir

You'll have to. Did you see how Meta.SE is currently set up with the new theme?

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah

Do we have a better tag than choose-your-own-adventure for those types of adventure books?

Mithrandir

Why would you need a better tag? That's what they're officially called.

oh, the genre, not the series

TheLethalCarrot

8:00 AM

Oh is it? I thought they were officially called adventure-novel or similar

Mithrandir

An adventure novel is a genre, but not that genre.

TheLethalCarrot

Fair enough

Will have to stick with it then, looks horrible though haha

Mithrandir

The genre is officially a gamebook, like RPGs.

Jenayah

More precisely, the one at stake seems to be a one-true-path

b_jonas

@TheLethalCarrot Ask in the Lit chat, maybe they know more about naming.

TheLethalCarrot

8:02 AM

17 Q's tagged choose-your-own-adventure, is it worth updating those to gamebook?

b_jonas

Or perhaps look at what example books are tagged in library catalogs.

Mithrandir

@TheLethalCarrot probably not - also remember that CYOA is more recognizable, and a gamebook is a wider genre than just those

TheLethalCarrot

Wouldn't have thought it was worth it anyway haha

S'pose gamebook can be confused for like game manuals too

Jenayah

Aren't those called books of lore?

For tabletop RPGs I mean?

Mithrandir

*shrugs* I'm out of my depth now :P

SQB

8:28 AM

I think choose-your-own-adventure is the better known term.

Just a useful one

Rand al'Thor

Neither could I: I just Googled "xkcd workflow" :-)

TheLethalCarrot

Ah that would have been easier haha

SQB

8:39 AM

Not necessarily a bug, just a different implementation. My guess would be that the database behind it wasn't properly normalised.

And that they're fixing that.

TheLethalCarrot

Well a bug or oversight but I imagine it wasn't intended behaviour

Rand al'Thor

Q: Youth Christian space sci-fi book series with hyperspace, androids, and Mars caves

SQB

@TheLethalCarrot possibly not even unintended behaviour, either. Just unforeseen.

TheLethalCarrot

8:40 AM

S'pose

Rand al'Thor

> Another example would be following a tag of a favourite author about whom no questions have been asked yet, but I expect there aren't as many users having that same issue.

@SQB I bet there are many users with this issue. The silent majority who're interested in more than just the big franchises like SW and HP :-)

TheLethalCarrot

@Zaphod I bountied this, that first answer by that user is very good

Gallifreyan

@Randal'Thor This message pinged me

Gallifrey

But not his one

Oh, I see now

My bad

Rand al'Thor

I pinged you and then removed the @ so as not to confuse heather ;-)

Stealth pings!

SQB

Stealth pings, appearing at random.

Rand al'Thor

8:44 AM

:-D

SQB

(Did that work?)

Rand al'Thor

Anyway, I'm off again.

@SQB Nope, things like @sqbdoo don't ping.

SQB

...unless we suddenly get the urge to talk about randomisation.

Or (shudder) Ayn Rand.

Mithrandir

hey, Atlas Shrugged wasn't horrible, although I did skip Galt's 50-page speech

SQB

To be fair, I haven't read it, just read of it. But what I've read of it doesn't make me want to read it.

@SQB Wow, 4 rapid up votes! Thanks, people!

Mithrandir

8:48 AM

You have to be dedicated to read it. Although it wasn't a bad novel; just long and slightly difficult. The plot was okay. The speech towards the end was over the top.

...it gets slightly explicit at times.

TheLethalCarrot

@SQB And in the future (canon) he becomes an unstoppable the cyborg Jason X. Probably needs rewording here too

SQB

@TheLethalCarrot Missed that, thanks.

Jenayah

@SQB did I join the Meta community solely to upvote that, since I think it would indeed be a great feature for SFF.SE/Movies.SE/etc? Maybe :eyeroll:

TheLethalCarrot

It's a good feature for everywhere, for example, SO where a new language/language version is coming out

Jenayah

Oh indeed, but I was thinking more of the spoilers situation :)

TheLethalCarrot

8:55 AM

Oh that too aye

Jenayah

Because when you want to look out for something you can occasionally search for it, but if you login and suddenly learn that Darth Vader is Luke's father, that sucks.

Spoilers ^ :p

TheLethalCarrot

Though that shouldn't be in the title of the question of course

But I get what you mean

Jenayah

No, but if a new user comes and doesn't know the policy, there could be a 10-minute span where the spoiler stays in the title before editing

TheLethalCarrot

@SQB Also is the jason-x meant for the comic books series Jason X or the character?

Jenayah

You just have to have an awful timing an login right at that moment

TheLethalCarrot

8:58 AM

Oh of course

Annoys me when titles are used as an excuse to stop SFF content going to the HNQ is all so I get defensive over it haha

Jenayah

Agreed, the "why did this character do this action" titles aren't that pretty, but getting spoiled by HNQ isn't great either

TheLethalCarrot

@SQB And side note when you create all these tags can you at least make a basic tag excerpt, makes them easier to use later on

@Jenayah Sure, we have to find the balance but what people find a spoiler varies from person to person so you'll never please everyone

Mithrandir

People care too much about spoilers anyway, IMO :P

TheLethalCarrot

In mine too

I read spoilers way before I get a chance to read/watch a work

Jenayah

@TheLethalCarrot Oh, sure

SQB

9:05 AM

@TheLethalCarrot I'll be adding the tag wiki, after doing one for wendy-the-good-little-witch.

@TheLethalCarrot Yeah, I see I missed that on jason-x (back when); I'm busy with that one and the others.

I usually do that.

@TheLethalCarrot I think it would be best if it is about the character-franchise (as with angel).

@TheLethalCarrot I see you've done jason-vs-jason-x, thanks.

TheLethalCarrot

9:30 AM

Aye just did a brief one, was gonna do [jason-x] but wasn't sure exactly how you wanted to use it. Seeing as one seemed to be about the series and one the character

@Jenayah A couple of quick tips: "Any help would be appreciated.","Cheers", etc. are considered noise and if you're editing you should generally remove it. [edit] renders to a link that links to editing the post you've commented on. I used to have "Hello and welcome to SFF!" as my opener on FPs but it sent the wrong message with the hello as it appeared to lead some new users to think we were like a discussion forum so now I just use "Welcome to SFF!"

@FuzzyBoots Ninja'd :P

SQB

> Welcome to [fantasy.se] and thank you for your question.

(Or answer, if that's the case).

TheLethalCarrot

Well I wouldn't thank them generally but sure, and I'm guessing that links to the homepage?

SQB

Both [fantasy.se] and [scifi.se] render to a site link, but the former is easier on my eyes while typing it.

TheLethalCarrot

Aye true

SQB

Links to the homepage and expands to the full name (which is why I use it).

TheLethalCarrot

9:38 AM

Might adopt that then, still learning most of the quick links or whatever they are called

SQB

I usually invite people to take the [tour] (expands as well) and read the [help] (expands to a link reading "help center", IIRC).

TheLethalCarrot

Aye me too with [tour] depending on case by case and if they are "Informed" or not of course

Jenayah

[edit]and [fantasy.se] are great, I'll deffo use that next time. As for the noise removing, I know the policy, and my stand on that is I agree with it... but new users don't know that, so since it can appear as unwelcoming, robot-like, I'd rather cut that out of posts which have been here for a while. Call me naïve but I kind of like to stick to my principles ;D however if that's a bugger I can switch to stricter edits (or just let someone else do it)

SQB

@TheLethalCarrot If they only have the one bronze badge, I assume it's for writing the post I'm responding to.

TheLethalCarrot

@SQB Me too but be careful cos first UVed post gives bronze too

SQB

9:41 AM

@Jenayah I try to leave a edit message explaining that when I do.

@TheLethalCarrot Yeah, but then they wouldn't have a single bronze badge.

TheLethalCarrot

@Jenayah It's not a problem leaving it but it's encouraged to remove it if you're editing already, and of course leaving a comment explaining the edit is an option if you don't want it to be robot like

SQB

Also, if an answer is bad, I check if it's a registered user. If so, I welcome them and explain what's bad about it. If not, I assume a drive-by user and just vote (down, closed, what-have-you).

TheLethalCarrot

@SQB I think I misread your previous comment slightly

@SQB Probably not the best approach, remember vote on content not the user and if anything you should be encouraging none registered users to register

(Although don't do that to spam/troll accounts of course!)

SQB

@TheLethalCarrot What I meant is that writing our first post (question or answer) gets you a bronze badge: student for a question with at least one up vote, teacher for an answer with at least one up vote.

TheLethalCarrot

@SQB Yeah I just mean don't blindly assume they have read the tour just because they have 1 bronze badge because of those ones but I think that's what you mean anyway

SQB

9:47 AM

So when I see a user with one bronze badge post as the author of a post that qualifies, I assume it's one of those and don't check the user page to see if they are informed; I just assume they aren't. No harm in inviting someone on the tour twice.

@TheLethalCarrot Exactly.

TheLethalCarrot

@SQB Sure but I think this is where the standard "If you haven't already..." comment comes from

Just to be friendlier

SQB

@TheLethalCarrot good point.

TheLethalCarrot

Although I generally check the badges (it's only one click and one button press away) before writing the comment

Jenayah

While flagging as NaA, can we add a little message justifying why it doesn't appear to be an answer?

TheLethalCarrot

Sure you can

Jenayah

9:51 AM

Yeah but I meant, how?

I see the "moderator intervetion needed"

TheLethalCarrot

Oh not as part of the flag no

You can write a comment underneath the post if need be

Jenayah

But the actual flag is NaA, I just want to point out that "Corak" isn't a book according to quick Google-Fu

TheLethalCarrot

Well I haven't flagged that one yet

Was waiting to see if they responded to my comment

SQB

@Jenayah ah, that's not what NaA is for.

TheLethalCarrot

Though if you want to point that out why not just write a comment out?

SQB

9:52 AM

NaA means that it is not an answer in any form or shape.

Jenayah

@SQB scifi.stackexchange.com/a/191822/98028 for context

It should rather be a comment, since the poster really seems to reply to Valorum.

SQB

Ah, yes, that is NaA.

I thought you meant it wasn't an answer because it was incorrect.

TheLethalCarrot

Ah didn't see Valorum's comment, you're right looks to be a reply

SQB

Use a mod flag; they can convert it into a comment.

Jenayah

But I'm not sure whether the correct flag would be NaA or "in need of mod intervention" since it may appear as an answer, but really basic Google-fu shows no book called Corak

Alrighty then

TheLethalCarrot

9:55 AM

I've edited the answer into the question, fine to normal delete if you want

SQB

@TheLethalCarrot you could've dropped the soft-sci-fi as well, possibly.

Doesn't really add much.

TheLethalCarrot

It's acceptable to use it on story-id Qs

SQB

Ends up being used a lot on story-identification questions.

TheLethalCarrot

I don't like it but it's allowed so meh

SQB

@TheLethalCarrot Yeah, meh indeed.

is there markdown in the messages for mods?

Don't believe so

ok

Mithrandir

I think so; it's been a while since I saw one, though.

TheLethalCarrot

10:02 AM

I've never tried because I just assumed markdown doesn't work in flag text because you can't preview it to check

Want to run a quick test on lit? :P

(If it's easy for you to find a specific mod flag)

Jenayah

Aw crap, a mod's going to have to look at an ugly link 'cause of me. Sorry mods! :(

Jenayah

They are based on the actual tales, though, but just thought I'd point it out

TheLethalCarrot

This post is coming to LQP review from my flag. I've edited it into the OPs other answer so we don't need it anymore

Jenayah

So we should all DV it?

TheLethalCarrot

No, ones enough to be able to VTD it

Jenayah

oh ok

TheLethalCarrot

Though you'll have to wait for the LQP for Recommending deletion I believe

inspiration is probably more applicable

TheLethalCarrot

What's worse is that was during my PPCG days so I could have taken part in it haha

@SQB Is there any point keeping the dead link in the post but hidden?

SQB

@TheLethalCarrot Yes, for the OP to fix.

TheLethalCarrot

But you've fixed the image link yourself anyway?

SQB

11:11 AM

@TheLethalCarrot There was a new suggested image (as part of the big edit event, I think).

TheLethalCarrot

Oh right

SQB

Note to @Randal'Thor: I think renaming war-for-planet-of-apes to war-for-the-planet-of-the-apes should be a rather easy and uncontroversial move, right?

Mithrandir

@SQB And in line with policy.

TheLethalCarrot

7 Q's spread them out over 2 or 3 days and fix everything on the whole post and you're good

Mithrandir

I'd just raise a custom flag on one question with that tag.

TheLethalCarrot

11:16 AM

Mods still have to manually edit though don't they?

Mithrandir

nope

TheLethalCarrot

Ah right

I know there's some special things mods can do with regards to tags but I don't know them all

Mithrandir

merge the tag with a nonexistent tag, and it renames. then fetch the wiki from the orphan wiki page and put it back in the new tag

TheLethalCarrot

Ahhh you can merge tags

Also @SQB be careful with flooding the home page

SQB

No worries, it was just those two (in addition to the previous ones).

Mithrandir

11:20 AM

(That took me forever to figure out how to do, though - those tools aren't the best documented.)

SQB

Added usage guidance for dawn-of-the-planet-of-the-apes; leaving tag info for someone else.

I find the usage guidance way more important than the tag info.

TheLethalCarrot

I usually just do the excerpt and if needed the wiki can be added later on

The excerpt is the most important bit though

Mithrandir

nobody reads the wiki anyway

TheLethalCarrot

Barely anyone reads the excerpts

Maybe the update will fix that a bit though

Jenayah

@Mithrandir Except comics-obstinate, chauvinist pedantics. hides

SQB

11:26 AM

Does anyone know how to search for tag wiki posts? wiki:yes yields the community wiki answers.

TheLethalCarrot

You mean search these pages? Or something else?

Mithrandir

@SQB probably data.SE

SQB

@TheLethalCarrot Yeah, but by user. user:me is:tag, something like that.

TheLethalCarrot

SEDE is only updated weekly though unfortunately

SEDE probably best bet if that's what you're after then

Tags, new can help for recently created ones

Though you'd have to manually look through them

SQB

Yeah, the SEDE it is then.

Jenayah

11:39 AM

Hum... Policy and general freedom of voting guide us not to directly ask for the reason of downvotes, which I agree with, but I would also make sure to edit my question if it was to be a quality issue, so would anyone have any idea why this would get downvoted? Again, I'm concerned about quality issues - if DVer just doesn't find the question to his/her liking I'm fine with it, to each his own :)

Might be going on a slippery slope there, so tell me if I should just shut up ;)

TheLethalCarrot

You're fine to ask for DVs if you want but most people won't explain them

Jenayah

I noticed that yeah, which is why I'm taking the liberty to ask on chat since there are currently 4-5 long-time users there who could help me spot a quality issue, if it is one

As I said earlier, learning as things go... :)

TheLethalCarrot

Two things that jump out to me are:

Schools are supposed to notice these sorts of patterns - modern-day schools in the first world, yes. But even as recently as twenty or thirty years ago, not so much, and by my figuring Voldemort went to school about eighty years ago. Plus the wizarding community tends to lag behind us on this sort of thing.

so could be DV because of false premise (not saying this user DVed you of course)

And you're opening sentence

We get it. Voldemort is the Hitler of the wizarding world. He's filled with racist thoughts, supremacist ideas, etc, etc.

merely mentioning Hitler and other "controversial" subjects is enough for some people

Though to be honest nothing majorly wrong that I can directly spot why you'd be DVed

+1 from me though, nice question and it prompted another good answer from Bella

Jenayah

@TheLethalCarrot ah, indeed! We were talking about that yesterday and DV came later, buy the guy still made a good point!

TheLethalCarrot

Aye could be someone reading the comments later on and Dving

Jenayah

11:47 AM

@TheLethalCarrot ahah, indeed also. Especially since I was reminded of that on History.SE chat, because I was about to ask the same about Hitler actually!

TheLethalCarrot

To be honest though I wouldn't look to much into the occasional DV. Some votes are odd and you'll never make sense of them

3:14 PM

grumble I have an incredibly vague [story-identification] thing in my head. Yet another book that I read in my childhood, somewhere in the 1990s, paperback, colorful cartoony cover. I think with three guys in a car. It was a film-noir kind of setup, I remember, but other than that, my only other firm memory was that they had all sorts of raygun variants from laser to masers to grasers.

:-P I don't remember enough to actually ask a question, particularly since I'm not certain what's really real and what's me vaguely remembering various books I read back then.

TheLethalCarrot

It's more information that a lot of new users' story id questions give though

Jenayah

@FuzzyBoots you know, if we ever build a time machine and you get your hands on one, I think the best thing you could do is go back in time and scold your 8-years-old self into keeping everything he watched/read/listened to in a copybook.

FuzzyBoots

:-D Yeah, but I'd probably be too busy messing with the space-time continuum by telling myself what companies to invest in and avoiding all of the horrible things in my life that probably led up to me having access to a time machine.

If we're talking about webcomics, I shall recommend A Modest Destiny, which is by far the best webcomic ever, of all time. Long-lasting well-driven story, lots of funny characters, geek references, self-derision, and it's in pixel art!

Two of my big Science Fiction ones are Freefall (which is the most hard science webcomic you'll find featuring a talking wolf lady) and Schlock Mercenary (which is just plain fun space opera).
