adds blacklist to game-identification
Jul 26, 2013 02:28
I see
Jul 26, 2013 02:27
gaming.stackexchange.com/tags/game-identification/synonyms Suggestion: "identify-this-game"? Or is there some deep difference between the two I'm not seeing? (I do not have sufficient rep to apply tag synonyms)

Excellent

@Ashley I buy Kindle books then strip the DRM myself - not sure if that's an option for you?

I think this is probably a SuperUser question, but SU doesn't seem to be a migration option?

@RonanForman But that wouldn't be nearly as much fun

Anybody want to trade one useless steam voucher for another to earn the "Trade with your friends" Steam item? :p

I was in my primary school chess club, briefly. My crowning achievement was a tie. At that point, I decided it wasn't really for me.

Good morning sunshines!

@YiJiang Hahah Oh wow, I didn't realise the "Always Friday in Iceland" tag even still EXISTED
Dec 22, 2011 08:25
@YiJiang The thing thaat amuses me is that he obviously knows it isn't right for the site, but "Please leave it open anyway"

I think I just gave myself a finger cramp playing Bit.Trip Runner. But I got the achievement I was grinding for! I consider this a win.
Dec 22, 2011 00:26
@badp Is that why the TF2 items tab has disappeared from my Steam inventory? o.0
Dec 21, 2011 13:51
Have a good day/night/whatever time it is for you, people! :D
Dec 21, 2011 13:51
And on that note, I should go to bed ;)
Dec 21, 2011 13:38
SUCCESS!

Hrm. Next attempt! New video drivers!

Q: Bit.Trip Runner crashes immediately on boot

MargaretI'm having trouble with Bit.Trip Runner on my laptop, installed using Steam. I try to open the game, it tries to do its "initial install", then thinks for a moment with a black screen, before failing with the Windows error runner.exe has stopped working. (So useful!) I've asked a friend of min...

Feel my pain:
Dec 21, 2011 12:59
@JohnoBoy For what?
Dec 21, 2011 12:58
@FallenAngelEyes But I don't get achievements for "Reinstall hundreds of drivers and see that none of them have any effect" :(
Dec 21, 2011 12:56
@badp Hee
Dec 21, 2011 12:55
...It's doubly annoying since the game worked in the past, but now just crashes as soon as I try to open it.
Dec 21, 2011 12:54
Gaaaah I have spent far more hours today than I wish to admit desperately trying (and failing) to get Bit.Trip Runner to work, I'm well into the "throw solutions at the wall and hope one of them works" stage
Dec 20, 2011 00:36
@RedriderX Depends which game you're playing, I'd imagine
Dec 19, 2011 23:53
@DaveMcClelland Become friends and then use the Steam trading system?
Dec 19, 2011 23:40
(Deciding whether to buy just the individual games or the complete bundle)
Dec 19, 2011 23:39
Anyone know whether extra copies of games in the Super Indie Bundle are giftable? I'm guessing "No", right?
Dec 19, 2011 23:33
@alexanderpas Where?
Dec 19, 2011 23:30
It was possible with the Summer Sale thing, so I'm thinking it might be similar, but haven't noticed anything in the documentation one way or the other
Dec 19, 2011 23:29
Anyone have any idea whether we will be able to go back and do previous days' goals later in the promo period for the Steam Christmas thing? I don't have time today, but I wouldn't mind achievement grinding later in the week...

Oops, that was meant to be sent to @GnomeSlice

@GraceNote One "Human Computer Interaction" subject my University offered had a final exam of "Go to the local arcade and watch people play video games

@IanPugsley At least it doesn't take up physical space, except for the computer to play it on :p

Damn this "going to work" thing, takes me away from my more important "Hanging around on the Internet" duties...

@Powerlord I mostly play puzzle games :p
Dec 19, 2011 21:03
@Powerlord Got it ;) The three Valve games I have are Portal, Portal 2 and TF2, I'm not sure any of their others appeal to me. People might shoot at me!
Dec 19, 2011 21:01
@WorldEngineer Well, between Humble Bundle, Indie Royale and Indie Gala, my Steam collection grows ever-larger :p
Dec 19, 2011 20:59
Unicorns! :p
Dec 19, 2011 20:58
I start to realise I may buy too many of the indie bundles when I already own 5/10 games in the "Super Indie Bundle"

Is there a good place/way to ask a question that basically amounts to "How do I check the contents of my data are what I want them to be?" I'm sure this is a solved problem, I just don't know the solution.
Background: I work for a (smallish) organisation that does data analysis for hospitals; we tell them to send their data to us in whatever form they have, then we standardise it and send them reports with benchmarking results back. The problem is, human error inevitably occurs, generally at the 'standardisation' stage, and is not caught until much later, so we wind up sending data with e
