Have you ever wanted to ask a very simple question but gave up before doing it because you thought it wasn't worth to open a specific page just for that? Or maybe you asked it in another thread, going slightly off-topic?
I certainly did, so I'm now creating this thread to gather all those kind of questions, hoping they will find quick answers while maintaining the general discussion section as clean as possible.

I'm not sure this initiative will be very useful... but in the case it will prove not to be, it will just be forgotten, so it's worth a try!
By the way, sorry for the silly title! :)

Let me start with this:

-Does anyone know what the maximum number of characters per post is?
I'm writing a review for Risen 2, but I think it will become quite big, so I'm not sure a single post could contain it: if I have to break it in more parts, I would like to know how big they should be, just to avoid errors.
i have 2 questions:

1. can you eat human flesh with wooden teeth?

2. what consequences awaits me if i manage a real bad reputation (-1000), without insulting, hurting or scamming someone?

Raw or cooked?

The catalog and your library will be locked except for the Jack Keane titles.

1.of course raw!

2. that is what i'm interested in, will it be just cause i reach a high negative number or do the blues look in detail and then decide to ban or not. maybe i played too much mass effect 2 but somehow its more interesting to me to gain a bad ass/outlaw/renegade reputation than a paragon reputation.

It then depends on the type of wood ;-) try Lignum Vitae

I don't think that there is an automatism that reports "bad" users to the blues. But people may report your posts as spam or complain about you. Then someone will probably come looking.

Dumb counter-question: Actual review or forum post?
If the latter, you could just add three million random characters to a post of yours and see where it gets cut off.
...though I suppose someone has to know the answer to that.
Why does GOG rename .iso files to ".gog"?
Why "Roger" and why "Wilco" ?

And no, I'm not talking of space quest, here.

Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_procedure#Words_in_voice_procedure
says that 'Roger' was the phonetic alphabet word for 'R' before the modern NATO standard changed it to 'Romeo' and it's R for 'Recieved'
While Wilco is a contraction of 'Will Comply'
Apparently, saying 'Wilco' means 'received and will comply' by itself so saying Roger Wilco is redundant

I don't, though in my HDD I stored ALL my GOG collection, just waiting to be unpacked! ;)
Usually, I play a maximum of 2 games at the same time, and don't start another until I finished one of the previous.
I always keep the saves ina specific folder, then uninstall the game. The GOG installers are very convenient under this aspect: I can reinstall any game in any moment, thus having always enough space in the drive (especially the SSD).

Can anyone translate this interaction please? Why is the other one not caring about what is done to him?

I may not like dogs much, but I have an idea of what's going on there. I think the dog has fleas on it and the goat licks them off it, and that's why the dog doesn't react. That is, this is a mutually beneficial relationship-the goat satisfies its weird pleasure of licking the dog and the dog gets rid of its fleas without much effort.Hope you liked this explanation. :-)

I wanted to ask a random question as well yesterday, but now I've forgotten what I wanted to ask. I will thus edit later in case I want to ask something too.
