That's like the worst kind of tab completion, imo
#server-feedback

well, used commandlike actually more like 25 years

Me too, but they didn't have tab completion for that whole time

hmmm
is there a hotkey for that mention?
like hold some button down and click the persons name?
having to right click, left click is still not that intuitive
brittle orchid
I'd rather have easier mentions on mobile, and I'd rather be able to render double asterisk on android
Double asterisk on my S7 is totally whack
sleek warren
well, on discrod mobile client, you can just tap the persons nick on chat
brittle orchid
The fuck I was doing that earlier
sleek warren
I really wish it worked like that by default here as well
brittle orchid
Maybe my s7 is just having... issues
Iunno
I have the hardest time doing things in the mobile client, everything seems... off
Especially past mentions
sleek warren
my biggest issues on mobile client is that it's just too buggy
it's not reliable, sometimes message orders go nuts, you can't edit your messages every time (it goes to editing mode but changes don't register) etc
one time I went from mobile to desktop client only to find out messages I had sent through mobile client were not there
but this is some alpha / beta software, right?
I mean, in such case, it's expected
twilit widget
I'm not as big a part of the mobile dev, but yeah, it's still kinda alpha/beta.

Just been thinking about a place to ask questions related to math? Like a #ue-math channel? I'm not good with certain aspects of math like dot products and quaternions so might be useful for people like me who knows it's a math related problem I might be stuck with to ask there?
limber island
@reef heron try #ue4-general
elfin nova
@chilly ivy Maybe make lounge the default or have a way to make it remember last channel you were in
getting pinged into introductions is annoying
chilly ivy
@elfin nova No way for me to change the default channel, unfortunately.
elfin nova
Rename the #intro to lounge xD
chilly ivy
I'll bring it up with the Discord team, though, since this is a popular request.
chilly ivy
Switching the names is an option, but that would be confusing for a bit and mess with message history.
So maybe, but that'd be a last ditch effort.
I'll contact the Discord team about it first. Maybe they'll address it in a future update.
rich sky
Make roman characters for names a requirement please
magic turtle
@rich sky I like more the Niko characters
devout oriole
@rich sky - I think 美久多is a nice name (It's your name)
devout oriole
But yeah, I prefer my name is Japanese. I understand some people get annoyed with all the names that seem hard to tag, but I feel more comfortable with my online persona if I can express myself the way I want to
open radish
Just a reminder, you can click on someone's picture to see their "true" user name, from then on you'll have an easy way to tag people with names using non Roman characters
limber island
yes, for our lovely japanese letter mod, just type @ taiku

@devout oriole if they aren't dedicated enough to figure out how to tag you, then they don't deserve your attention 😛

hollow mist
Rename #work-in-progress to #showcase so that complete projects can also be shown off.
gritty stirrup
@hollow mist then what would you do with work in progress? 😬
You could just say that you've finished the project and wanted to share. People do that already and it seems to be working
gritty stirrup
Just saying, it works both ways haha
hollow mist
It is just less confusing and more inviting a name.
Because people are asking where can I post etc
gritty stirrup
Hmm I'd find it a little more intimidating to post WIP images in. But that's me
chilly ivy
^That's exactly what I had in mind when naming the channel.
It's a place to get feedback and critique, not necessarily focused on "showing off."
Naming it #showcase would make it about showing off your best work.
hollow mist
Showcase as a new channel then?
chilly ivy
It's on the list of possible channels.
hollow mist
Or #pr or #brag.
And dont forget #unsafe-zone :P
What about #look-what-I-made then? Friendly for all stages of development
chilly ivy
Thanks for the suggestions. 👍
open radish
Problem is with #PR is that most people will confuse it with #work-in-progress and both will be filled with WIP and Finished stuff
Need some name for it to dstinguish it enough so people won't get confused
sleek warren
look what I made wouldn't work either, as some showcase team efforts ;p

Well, i'll keep saying it,...NINTENDO platforms support. So it's my entery for the suggestion box 😄 WIIU, NX, 3DS,... 😄 it's a HUGE market.
open radish
Keep in mind this is a suggestion box for the Unreal Slackers, not Unreal Engine/Epic. Suggestions for Epic should go through proper channels like their official forums.
That said Wii U and Vita support is coming with the release of Bloodstained
The devs there got ue4 working on both of those platforms and have said they will open source their solution to anyone that can provide proof of being in the Nintendo developer program.
devout oriole
"they will open source their solution to anyone that can provide proof of being in the Nintendo developer program." - I believe that when I see it 😦
open radish
well its Armature Studio's they have a reputation to keep so hopefully for those that care about porting to Wii U they don't go back on their statements

I don't know if this is doable but I just had an idea. well you know how there is the migrate assets, well what about a merge blueprint command? like say i have a FP character that i have working and has huge amounts of blueprint nodes in it and then i have another FP character from a content pack with lots of nodes. it would be nice to merge them without copy/pasting it all. like it will copy all of your variables first then apply the nodes so there are no error from variables not being added yet. that way content released in the market place is not so hard to integrate into your projects. I see alot of content where there is NO documentation on how to merge it to peoples projects. just a thought. because it is sad when you merge ALL the nodes/variables and still it don't work after being merged.
open radish
Keep in mind this is a suggestion box for the Unreal Slackers, not Unreal Engine/Epic. Suggestions for Epic should go through proper channels like their official forums.
sharp sundial
I thought this was Epic's new chat... so then these people are not really epic staff?
open radish
They are Epic Staff, but they are not guaranteed or obligated to read things here
We are an unofficial group
gritty stirrup
@sharp sundial the people with yellow names are epic staff
open radish
It just so happens that enough epic staff like what we do that they hang out here sometimes
dawn ingot
aka, they haven't been scared away, yet
sharp sundial
then what is the point? lol makes me feel jipped and mislead to what this was -.-
dawn ingot
did you read the Welcome channel?
open radish
@sharp sundial this is still the largest realtime chat community dedicated to Unreal Engine. So I'm sure you'll still find worthwhile stuff here.
However if you are looking for something official then it doesn't exist
sharp sundial
no it didnt put me in any welcome channel -.- it opened up to a channel called marketplace to tell you the truth. seems that channel should be put as default
open radish
There is an official Epic slack chat but only epic employees can be part of it
The default channel is currently set to #introductions
sharp sundial
yes you are right sorry @open radish it was that channel
open radish
no prob 😃
dawn ingot
always read the topmost channel, it usually contains things such as rules etc 😛
open radish
I'll go ahead and copy paste this here from the welcome channel still:
"Be considerate when tagging Epic Games or Discord staff. They take time out of their busy schedules to be here, so don't bother them with trivial matters."
sharp sundial
should make ppl join welcome channel so they can read it first then choose a channel.
gritty stirrup
^appropriate suggestion
dawn ingot
Have to agree on that one 😛
open radish
@sharp sundial that is currently under discussion by the moderators, and a very good suggestion 😃
sharp sundial
thankyou. and i didn't mean anything in a bad way it just was a surprize to know its not an official chat system is all, no disrespect intended. guess 5 days no sleep can make me a bit annoyed haha sorry
sharp sundial
oh cool thankyou @gritty stirrup
gritty stirrup
You're welcome
chilly ivy
@sharp sundial You should have landed in #more-resources when you first joined the community, but after that you will land in #introductions each time you open the app. Was this not the case for you?
chilly ivy
That shouldn't be happening. Did you join at http://unrealslackers.org or with a discord.gg invite link?
sharp sundial
it was in unreal forums where i clicked a link
chilly ivy
Ok, thanks. Looking into it.
sharp sundial
here is the link i used http://join.unrealslackers.org/
hmm mine gives a join. in it maybe thats why
chilly ivy
That link redirects to unrealslackers.org, so it's the same.
It should have put you in #more-resources upon joining. Hm...
sharp sundial
yea I think i need sleep. I don't remember seeing that channel but am reading it now thankyou ❤
what is No NSFW content?
open radish
essentially it means don't post things that would get people in trouble if their boss looked over their shoulder
nudity
excessively grotesque material, etc
sharp sundial
oh ok thankyou. i think i'll sleep now thankyou for the help ❤
warm geyser
don't /tts dirty things, etc
because they might be goofing off in a meeting
which would be... terrible
devout oriole
Yes, don't TTS please.

A channel where people can post free trials of their games they are making would be cool!

I wonder if there would be that many people sharing their projects if there was such channel
devout oriole
I wonder if anyone would share their project that way
sharp sundial
I would if i was at a playable state haha
sleek warren
well, people don't necessarily want wip demos to start spreading around the internet
at least, if it's for commercial project
sharp sundial
its the best way to get ppl hooked on your game to me
sleek warren
if it's just for personal learning purpose, you can already do that on #work-in-progress or #ue4-general
sharp sundial
i don't buy anything i can't try first
sleek warren
yeah, but that would need to be proper demo then
like thing you ship when your project is ready or close to ready
not for thing that you'd get feedback from
sharp sundial
yes thats what i mean a demo release channel
sleek warren
well, in such case, the demand would be for #released-projects etc
there's been some asking for such channel
you could promote the demo there as well
sharp sundial
yep
sleek warren
there's no real reason to make a dedicated channel for demos only if only few people even make them
open radish
it would also be super infrequent
warm geyser
I think our main thing we all want but haven't put into words is a channel that doesn't have activity in it for announcements
or a channel just for links of actual ue-worthy stuff
not spam
not chat
I suppose that's what pinned posts are for

errant tusk
Is there a console dev lounge? I remember this was an issue in Slack for some reason
chilly ivy
@errant tusk The issue was that console devs are under NDA, so they wouldn't be able to contribute enough useful information to warrant a dedicated channel.
warm geyser
to be fair console shit talk is not up to standard for PC shit talk
sacred brook
That kinda sucks, so if you're an indie you need to learn the intricacies of consoles on your own
rich sky
Not really, plenty of indies target consoles
open radish
You could always start up a private conversation group with other people who you have determined to be doing console development. Though I would highly suggest everyone involve provide proof to each other that they are all on the given system's developer program.
sleek warren
.. and that even if they are on same systems dev program, their NDA allows them to talk with them
I don't know what they put on those.. and even if I did, I couldn't tell 😄
hexed dome
@chilly ivy maybe some bot verification of some sort? :> Not much people know that there secret console community to begin with
sleek warren
but..
wouldn't different consoles have their own NDAs too?
like if you only dev for ps4, that NDA wouldn't fit on xb1 devs on the same space (if the NDA even allows the former)
devout oriole
Yeah Sony and Microsoft have seperate NDAs

Anyway, new channel request: #education (or something close to it, maybe gamedev-education) for those student/professors, or aspiring of either, could be nice to throw out advice/suggestions that people can use before applying for gamedev degrees/schools.
open radish
There is no dedicated material channel ?

Yeah I think people would, I would atleast
warm geyser
but then we'd need #ue-beginners-graphics

the category division is by discipline
cursive steeple
would you though? just having a general beginner channel would suffice for them, then once they're past the 'beginner' stage they can start branching into more specific stuff, experienced developers usually know the basics of most categories at least anyway
and if they ask a question that is too specific just say try posting it in x channel

"Lets suck together"

we already get beginner questions everywhere and we all jump to help them
being hostile towards beginners by moving them into their own channel is kind of crap
as it stands there's too many channels to follow frequently
gotta pick like three or four and stick with that
so a beginners channel is going to be way under-read
I like to think of beginner questions as the tax you pay for having advanced discussions

Hey would it be possible to get #UE-MMO Channel? I am asking as there is tech that will allow MMOs to be made. Stuff like Spatial OS and KBengine for example. Or should we just spam UE-Multiplayer?
brittle orchid
I second the need to confine mmo talk
edgy brook
@shut thunder this is an innovative idea, i agree @brittle orchid is beautiful but mainly I agree with the need
shut thunder
I really think it should be semi private starting out. But that is just me
edgy brook
semi private, basically a rank given to people who have a real interest with knowledge instead of accepting any day 1 programmer who wants to know how to make an mmo so spams the channel, great idea
as we all know, the world is not short of them
shut thunder

shut thunder
@turbid scarab - It would be for large scale network stuff

@turbid scarab i could imagine being MMO related it would primarily be large scale networking programming and tech but we could do with an #art channel

@edgy brook - I would post art stuff in the UE graphics or whatever channel 😛
Anyway
turbid scarab
well you got my vote 😉
it would be nice to see someone make an mmo

@turbid scarab thanks man, it really helps, it would be great to have a room come up with the future showing spatialOS in unreal

turbid scarab
while I'm spaming here I would only like to say that some streaming channel would be nice
kinda like "time table"/announcements
edgy brook
aye agreed, stops spam from people wanting to stream announcements as well
turbid scarab
cos most of the time good streams get lost in chat
edgy brook
so true
turbid scarab
and then its too late
this could also help with overlaping
like 2 good streams at same time

the username list with mods etc to the side, is it possible to do one for people currently streaming when discord sees they're streaming?
just an idea, if it's even possible
cursive steeple
yeah, that's pretty much it
warm geyser
I think that'd be cool, good suggestion!
cursive steeple
the only thing is that moderators would be bumped down
warm geyser
see, that's how you do suggestions. not just demand more niche channels.
cursive steeple
well actually they're at the top anyway, that's probably why kitatus gets more viewers tahn you
warm geyser
also that I've only streamed twice
cursive steeple
it doesn't
warm geyser
probably need the desktop app
cursive steeple
i grabbed the tachyon app myself, it's a modifed OBS, i actually really like it

@edgy brook I dunno, usually it fits fine under #blueprint and #cpp as people are usually after how they do the thing in code, only small fraction want to do all the math themselves
and then it would fit into #ue4-general
and if it's a coding issue, it helps if we already know the context and programming language
as BP handles math bit differently from c++
warm geyser
how about a room for just equations involving the power node
sleek warren
also
I haven't really have seen people throwing out math issues on random channels
most questions are about basic vector math
which ue4 mostly does for you after you know the basics
edgy brook
@sleek warren could be worth a try and test
if its vacant often with no use then it could be easily removed
sleek warren
yeah, I don't say there isn't need for math issues, it's just it helps to know if people try to code the math in BPs or c++
edgy brook
aye its true, i dont know if anyone would use it either but it always feels like math is a seperate issue that could be combined, maybe theyll give it a go and test it
sleek warren
yeah, I can see your point
sleek warren
we had to beg for separate physics channel for quite a while 😄
warm geyser
physics is a UE subsystem so it makes sense
sleek warren
and now that it's there, it's pretty busy most of the time
sleek warren
I could see the need for math channel if people really wanted to talk about the math
warm geyser
a good indicator is "should I change channels during my solution to stay on context?"
sleek warren
but I don't really see that kind of conversation here
warm geyser
yeah neither
sleek warren
usually they only want to know a way how to solve some issue and math can be needed to get it done but I dunno if the people asking for help could even identify the math issue separately
sleek warren
concept art would still be somewhat near gamedev :p
warm geyser
and then a channel JUST for posting screenshots of things with the contrast way up
it'd be super popular
sleek warren
yeah I've noticed
warm geyser
and also I need to find out why my contrast is so high but that's totally unrelated
warm geyser
we need a channel for telling people to take things to other channels. warnings are currently cluttering up our off-topic conversation in #career-chat.

can we have a seperate channel for voxel based games ?

@open radish go to a voxel based discord chat
You can use #graphics if you need help with it
Or depending on what you are doing with them, #cpp #blueprint
warm geyser
yeah there's no way we're making channels for specific graphics techniques
plus we'd have to delete it in two weeks when voxels are no longer popular
rigid fractal
why we dont make a channel for every single aspect of GameDev? ... e.g a Channel on How to Start the Editor etc.

ocean siren
We need a channel for specifically suggesting new channels. This channel is getting spammed with new channel suggestions- it's drowning out other potential suggestions as not everyone will suggest new channels. We also need a channel for saying a suggestion is redundant, or pointless.
rich sky
So, my suggestion tbh, is instead of making "lounge" the defacto channel, make #more-resources it. Then everyone knows where they are, since that never changes, AND, makes sense for all the newbies coming in here. I can't remember if that's the very first channel they see or not, but the amount of people asking questions in #introductions never made sense. But, that's probably because they thought of it as #general
warm geyser
#introductions is the defacto channel
light shadow
@VictorBurgos that's the idea. Unfortunately discord doesn't let you change the default channel, so there'll have to be renaming, moving, loss of chat history etc. We're working on something else as well, but it requires some development. It'll probably all be rolled out in one big update when it's done!
lofty spear
@light shadow You can rename #introductions to #lounge and vice versa, also, You could make a bot to manage user roles, as it made on "Programming" discord https://discord.gg/010z0Kw1A9ql5c1Qe

Can please, please, #unreal-news be the default channel when opening Discord!?
Instead of #introductions
People only need to introduce once, IF they want to, but #unreal-news has a way more frequent importance to all of us
scatters sugar around to sweeten up the request
places a cherry on top of it to lure in more mods
rigid fractal
#more-resources would be better. IMHO
true aurora
We should have another channel just to be the default frontpage
fleet flower
whatever. just NOT #introductions
sonic hazel
Most people (based on the Sucked-Out-of-my-Thumb statistics) start the day with reading the news, starting discord in #unreal-news makes sense that way
rich sky
Well, this would mean that Nick would have to venture into Discord more often
woeful holly
Is that an insult to the holy Nick
woeful holly
Some idea I came up with today, a community maintained bot! It would be a bot with a public github repo, to which everyone can contribute, and the clean ones (without inappropriate/illegal stuff in it) would get picked and merged into the master ❤ It would allow us to work on features nick or someone doesnt feel like implementing, or isnt online to update the bot if he where to accept PR's or something (no clue if he does ;P). The language in which this where to be written is still up for grabs (arguements for JS are that it is the most common language for chat bots, arguements for c# as it is possibly the most related to c++ so the easyers for most devs here :P)
idle onyx
Why not the context menu of an Unreal version (within the launcher), not having an option of "Release Notes". it would be very easy for users to check fixes and features per version. Which usually super critical for mid:big teams when they switch different projects between versions.
At the other hand, this would make it better for future users than browsing forums for the correct thread, and its correct post for an X version.
sleek warren
@idle onyx while I agree on your point, epic doesn't follow this channel, it's only here to improve this discord group
idle onyx
..
another thing, but this time for the Unreal Slackers
we might get a channel for Engine code related stuff
as far as i can see, the engine code related discussions are scattered between channels,
idle onyx
then lots of users who don't care about the engine code itself, might get annoyed and confused
may be, I'm not sure 😄
i sometimes scroll too much to find something I saw before

Does anyone else think a more fleshed out marketplace would be nice? Right now all we can do is search by name or search through different categories. It would be cool if we could sort alphebetically, by price, date added, etc etc. Also being able to search something and then filter the results would be really awesome and is noticeably absent.

Unreal Engine should add support for Dualshock 4 controllers, and all of it's features like the Gyroscope and the touchpad (Without the need of third party drivers) out of the box using a plugin, and include functions for Blueprints and C++ that allows changing the button prompts based on the connected controller in use.
I would also like to suggest the idea of a Toon Shader model that works simillarly to the default toon shader found in Maya and Blender, without needing a custom engine branch, and without experimental edits through the material editor that end up looking a bit crummy.
Seeing an option for adaptive resolutions based on desired framerate in the scalability settings would also be great.
sleek warren
@open radish this channel is for suggesting improvements for this discord group only, epic staff don't follow this channel
for unreal engine related feature requests, there's forum section for it, answerhub might have place for that too
open radish
ok. My apologies.
ocean siren
Suggestion for #career-chat - when people post a message that contains [PAID] and not **[PAID]**, or when a post seems to be a job post (can tell this by the content of the post) but doesn't contain the correct prefix to get pinned, have Unrealbot politely suggest they re-post their message with the correct prefix in order to have it pinned.

Then for another suggestion, please make the channel description a bit clearer 😃 I personally nearly got confused 😛 Make if something like "bla bla bla for the Unreal Slackers. Please note this is NOT for engine suggestions"

For the #career-chat channel, if/when Unrealbot can be modified, I suggest enforcing the formatting in that channel by removing any posts not properly formatted and PM'ing the poster with a detailed tutorial on how to format posts in the channel. Response posts can have seperate markup, perhaps R: <text>, so that discussion can still occur.

Or we could have the bot just not care about ** 😛

Why would I? It has utility there. I'd rather scold people every now and then for spamming than remove it from a channel where it's actually relevant.
It has no relevance here.
digital socket
Actually I was contemplating those uses of !roll as suggestions for alternative/more functional syntax. Then again, that was just overthinking it. There's not much use for !roll outside of an RPG, and I doubt anyone's going to be doing that on this discord.
"!random (max)" or "!random (min)-(max)" would be sufficient for giveaways.
Thought: Any time someone uses !gameidea twice in 5 minutes, UnrealBot should just respond with "http://thesurrealist.co.uk/". That'll cure 'em.

I would like to have a channel to ask questions about adding engine features. How to contribute code etc. to the official UE4 releases. Maybe as a shared / combined with channel for plug-ins..... called something like "extend engine" or so. 😊

White names, like... are they made from frozen milk!?
sleek warren
I refer to IRC channel guide here
Don't display channel operator privileges. Displaying these privileges on your nick with a "+o" attracts participants who are interested in gaining them and using them actively; it also attracts the attention of participants who react negatively to authority. Have your account added to the channel access list and op yourself only when needed.
all in all, not throwing the mod badge around will keep the place more relaxed
just giving colors to some users and deny from rest isn't cool, nor I see any benefit from it
sonic hazel
True that
woeful holly
True, but this would be role based
sleek warren
yeah, that could be one way to solve the issue
woeful holly
But yeah, I generally agree that roles should be a thing, allows you to see, oh this is an artist and not bug them with programming questions 😛

if it would go to that, all I'd ask that yellow would be kept for epic only

@sleek warren that is a great role
sacred brook
what if i do multiple things at once? what if i'm good at something but not good enough to be confident to hold a title? what if i suck at something and want the tag just for show?
people shouldn't bug specific people with questions, they ask in the channel and whoever wants to reply can reply, they don't need tags to be credible
chilly ivy
I agree. I don't think discipline-based roles bring much value to the table, if any.

sooo... no IdeaGuy tags =/
woeful holly
If we ever need a punishment role I vote it's called IdeaGuy @sleek warren 😛

i actually like random coloring of usernames, makes it a little easier to follow the conversation but the way to do it on discord would require making a list of random roles which isn't very clean
woeful holly
Yup + they'd have to be autoassigned

or you could invite a bot that allows people to issue commands to assign themselves to the color they like, still not clean

we only have handfull of epic staff members here
when you create a thread in the forums about the suggestion, it's a lot more accessible to rest of the staff and users
woeful holly
^ + they want it in their forums to keep track of stuff I think
having 1 bit of info in 1 place, something else in another may get tedious
open radish
I do agree with @rich sky that some of the channels should be renamed, to avoid confusion. For example:
#more-resources > #rules
#introductions > #introduceyourself
#lounge > #random
#design-chat > #design-chat-theory (I've seen some posts here about anything related to making a game, not necessarily the specific practice of designing how it will play.)
#server-feedback > #discord-server-suggestions or #discord-suggestions
#share-your-stream > #ue-streams
brittle orchid
I have a bot in my server that puts you in a rules channel which tells you that if you want to chat, you need to post an introduction. By posting an introduction, you agree to the rules and gain write access
¯_(ツ)_/¯
It also locks you out of posting messages in introductions so introductions doesn't become a chatroom
open radish
^
Also, #ue4-general > #ue-miscellaneous. It should also be placed at the bottom of the channel list so that people see it last and use it as a last resort.
chilly ivy
@open radish It's supposed to be a user's first stop if they don't know where to ask, not their last resort.
@brittle orchid I'm implementing the same behavior here soon.
dim berry
Can we have a thing where a [QUESTION] tag is getting formatted colored?
like orange and fatty?
so its straight visible for better chat sorting
woeful holly
A user would have to do that as there is currently no way for a bot to edit messages
Also, I doubt discord supports it right now
css This is a test
See, single line color formatting seems to be broken and otherwise we'd have to use:
[QUESTION]

What if we had roles to denote experts in certain fields? Experts could be identified by winning a game jam or getting a game published to steam.
rich sky
^nope ( in regards to this server anyway and being experts) IMHO @open radish
Winning Game Jams is too subjective
Doesn't mean poop, especially if there was a lack of competition
And just because you publish to steam, doesn't mean you know anything at all
A hamster can do that
As is evident by the amount of poop on Steam currently
That said, I personally don't see a problem with having singular roles on the server, almost every other discord dev chat does it and it's not a problem at all, nor does it really take any real extra effort on the Admin's part with the help of a bot.
But stuff like this reminds me of when suggestions happen over on the forum about engine features. Pretty much, doesn't really matter what the majority want/would like to see. Only the influential's opinions matter.

experts could be identified by winning a game jam or getting a game published to steam.
GETTING A GAME PUBLISHED TO STEAM
I don't have a better solution, but as vic said, steam doesn't count for anything anymore.
Experts could be identified by them being consistently right/helpful
So @mellow yoke is our first expert, amirite?

Pretty sure everyone here knows, just how helpful I am. But on a serious note, being helpful does not really mean anything. Can know a lot of shit and be an ass (totally not looking at myself) or you can be a freshman in college and be mr helpful. Helpful/niceness is not a judge of one's skill.

@brittle orchid Are you using a Karma bot?

Nor is winning a game jam. I mean, sure it shows you can build a game in a short time span. But you also have to think about the kind of games that are being made. They are simple, none-complex games usually done in blueprint. A beginner could win a game jam. You just have to have a unique idea and enough know-how to pull it off. but just cause you can come up with cool simple blueprint game ideas does not mean you could even scratch the surface of a AAA title.
