the problem with our close reasons, is that the reasons themselves are subjective too
 
Oak
Many say that "yes", but objectively these kind of questions are successful and very fun
That's true, though the need for 5 people who agree is good
 
well last night we were just posting questions here and people would discuss (though not at length) and boom they would be killed
but for me this is like the discussion about webapps on SU
we have more than enough valid questions left when we NOT allow them
we can always change our mind and reopen them
but for now it's probably for the best not to
but you're absolutely right, they are fun and can be useful
however, the focus shouldn't be on coming up with the next list to assemble

Anyway, I didn't vote. At the moment, I vote to close questions that are really broad. So I voted to close "what games are there for linux", but didn't vote "horror FPSs"
 
and I even suggested a list myself, since I would create a few and shut down the rest pointing back to those original ones
that seems a valid metric, though when is it no longer too broad? (rhetorical question)

discussion close-reasons
 
I think Jeff feels we should avoid them during beta, but he knows we have to cut the community some slack
some users point and say: we only have 35 lists, but that's still 5 lists a day!
but some list questions should be changed to something: where can I find or how will I know if this works
I'm sure there's a database with Linux supported games or a website dedicated to Linux games. That answer is less likely to be out of date tomorrow than a list
 
Oak
I agree with that, but then we also had some people saying that this site should list the actual answers rather than only point to other websites
 
also lists are even more subject to drive-by's. Post an answer and never look back at it, even if things change over time. Things like DLC or sequels

Though I don't entirely agree with that

what I mean is that M is a very wide letter
recommendation is "long and wide" -- it is a long word for # of letters and because the individual letters it contains in a proportional font are also wide

same # of letters.
 
I agree with your logic @Jeff, but isn't world-of-warcraft or lord-of-the-rings-online also horribly long?
 
yeah should be [wow] and [lotr]

Looking for game recommendations similar to a game Maxis released, A-Train, back in 1992?

hokiecsgradMaxis released a game called "A-Train" back in 1992. As I understand it, it was an English port of a Japanese game. I know that the A-Train series ran for quite a while in Japan, but I'm not clear if any of the subsequent games ever made a release in the US. Does anyone know if they did?

game-rec
It applies to anyone looking for games similar to that game
 
@Arda - yes, about same kind of example as mine.
What we should close without a second thought is "what is the best shooter", but that's obvious
 
recommendation should be remoed from the title...
 
true, it doesnt bring anything. It doesn't hurt as well, though. It can stay
 
1:29 PM
maybe the point in how to ask should be elaborated, right now it only says "We prefer questions that can be answered, not just discussed."
 
No, I think it's pretty clear as it is. It doesn't answer to the "no wide game rec", though
but with strong moderators (and community), you don't need to. There only a finite number of "what are best" questions that can be asked. Once they are there and closed, you don't need to discuss closing. You close as duplicate.

I finished Braid then decided to start it over for the stars

How to get past the Subway Airation Room in Mirrors edge.

Arda XiA: If you press the button and wallrun directly to the fans you should have plenty of time to get through them. See this YouTube video to see it more clearly.

 
can never seem to get beyond the first few levels. Will ask a question soon
 
uh, you do know you can skip levels entirely
you don't need to collect all puzzle pieces to open the door at the end.
 
3:15 PM
Yeah @badp
I suck at puzzle games :-\
 
Quick question
once created, can you change steam group names?
 
I think so, yes
 
I know, this one should be for webapps but meh.
 
you can always just try :P
 
okay, I need a one line ascii unicorn then :(
 
3:17 PM
That's a tiny bit impossible
 
No, you can't change a group's name
so I will need to wait to do that. no big deal.

How do you rearrange party members in Dragon Quest IX?

ChristianCan you arrange the order of your party through the in-game menu? By this I mean the order in which you issue commands in battle. Is there an easier way of doing it than going back to the inn and swapping characters out until the order is right?

Suggest a domain name for this site

Tobias KienzlerA: quicksave.com (squatted, but expire this year, so maybe...) as opposed to quickload.com edit Joel says taken does not nece...

what makes you think quicksave.com is squatted?
Usually squatted domains have google adsense spam or something
That website seems just plain empty.
it looks taken, if you ask me.
 
that's up to Joel to figure out
Or Jeff or someone else
 
you're right, I only looked at whois.net
 
indeed -- when I look on eNom.com to see if you can buy quicksave.com...
it's just not there
 
3:29 PM
There's slowsave.com...
do they actually show you synonyms/antonyms as alternatives? (slowrescue.com)
 
why is the minimum bid $69?
 
I don't know what that means honestly
let me see if it lets me backorder anything
yeah, it lets you "backorder" whatever
 
how did you find it? I'll add the link to the suggestion
 
so that website means nothing
 
3:32 PM
they probably send ninjas over to the owner to negotiate for the domain or something
2
 
yeah.
 
@Arda Xi: oh, that kind of backordering
 
although I'm not too hopeful
about the owner not paying for another year
Creation Date: 30-aug-2001
Updated Date: 31-aug-2009
Expiration Date: 30-aug-2010
 
hm, the whois.net entry suggests it's been renewed every year
 
indeed
mind you, I'm not happy, pauseforhelp is one of the very few I downvoted
 
3:35 PM
Same here @badp
I still like something like skippedtutorial.com
or thatonelevel.com
 
me too, thatonelevel would be a great alternative I guess

Only squatted, not in use

I ask because he made this edit
(added "Registered by Stack Overflow Internet Services, Inc. 2010-07-13." to the thatonelevel.com answer)
thatonelevel.com did get registered 2010-07-13, but I don't think it got registered by StackOverflow
 
it may have been registered by a squatter that read that question
 
maybe somebody checked for availability with godaddy
actually I guess it would be a good idea to recheck them all.
