General Questions Thread

~ Veritas -- I think you should just think about it like this: "Is this likely to be asked by someone else too?" That should point you in the right direction for most questions. All be it it's still arbitrary/random/whatever.

~ KiNA -- xris did mention a long time ago that we can report members of staff should they be misbehaving. But I thought he was just kidding back then and moderators are invulnerable to each other or something like that.

I wasn't joking, Moderators and Administrators have to follow the rules just like anyone else, more so if anything. In the past I've been know to remove the signature of a Mod because it was over the limits.

Oh, a silly question thread.

Ok, here is mine, it has been bugging me for quite some time:

You know how many games feature this line of text somewhere in their title screen, or even on the front cover: "'Experience may change during online play" ?
What the **** are they trying to tell me here?

[KiNA]

it means it depends on your connections.. not their game.. so if you have a shitty online experiences .. its the ISP fault ;D

[felix]

I always thought they were warning of over-l33ty tactics and so on.
You know how it is when you're a n00b and join some game that's been out for a while.

My personal take on the matter was with W3,
They beat me with priests, they sheep-ed my armies and they even kicked my arse with trees ~ some things I think I've actually suppressed to the back of my mind because they were such stupid ways of loosing

Well I think it's that since they don't say multiplayer, but online.

[Dhomochevsky]

Yes, my guess was more in the direction of teamkillers and cheaters, or 10 year olds wo try out their bad language on you. They do provide a changed experience.
Lag.. I dont have lag.

hey i wanna be a *Graphic Designer how can i be able to do so to get the tag here >?< i have bean takeing sig requests and makeing them ^_^

[toxic_trance]

Thats simple..go to User CP..check the left, 2nd last option of group Memberships and choose Graphics Designer

[Sephi]

It's really a minor thing so i didn't thought it was worth making a new thread about. So i may as well ask it here.

The profile picture seems to be aligned wrong, not my own. But for every profile i view it's on the same height. I tested it with both Firefox and Internet explorer 7. And it looked the same on both the browsers.

Spoiler for pic:

Is it on purpose or is it something that can't be fixed?

My apologies if this isn't the right place to ask such a thing. Really didn't thought it was worth a new thread in Forum & Site Feedback, that is why i'm asking it here.

[felix]

That's how it's suppose to be ~ I think.
Always looked good to me.

Doesn't that mean that the actual experience of the game nature, like interactions, game play, and stuff like that and not connection speed and problems?

Are you saying that you want that title or are you saying you want to be a Graphic Designer like aka Photoshop?

I think it also implies that the game's ESRB rating may depend on how the game unfolds. Some paths through a game may not reach material that would receive a more mature rating. I don't play online games, but I can imagine it's possible to play Second Life and not meet up with a prostitute, for instance.

I'm using Opera too, but Shepi thinks it should be aligned with the avatar.

But guess it's normal for the profile picture to show up like that than.

um... on the first page everyone who post ed werent really answering the question

[KiNA]

erm.. this thread actually was necroed back to the surfaced by haveueverfall to ask some question regarding sumomomommoomomomomomo .. NSW was so impressed by the necro work and proceed to stickied this thread so it could act as a place where we can dump all our silly but usefull questions that would otherwise would only cluttered up the forum with threads that have 1 or 2 replies then buried to the back pages

The purpose of the thread isn't to answer the question in the first post.
It's to ask/answer silly questions in general.

[Furuno]

I want to ask something :
In anime i've watched so far, there's some scene involving japanese children picture book (e hon), why most of all have some tragic/sad/heavy story for children? Is this just in the anime or real japanese e hon is like this?

[Kiva128]

I got a question!

It's forum-related...

Anyways, why is it that some people have like: *Artist or *Graphic Designer, *Fansubber under their name and in blue writing?

Thanks!
