Yes, I did.
Were you using a spreadsheet or a database application?
No, not a spreadsheet nor database.
Were you error checking something?
Was this in a game?
No.
Yes.
thanks for the callout…I was waiting for something and it dropped off my radar.
I don’t know nothin’ ‘bout computer commands. Without this knowledge is there any realistic chance that I could ask a relevant question and get an understandable answer?
Was it a text based adventure type game ?
Yes.
No.
Was the command alphanumeric, or was it arrow key / number pad / Fn key based?
was it a single player game?
did you try to test a failure mode and even though what you typed didn’t work, it successfully demonstrated the failure mode?
Is it that the command failed to work in the game, but worked in real life? Or vice versa?
Alphanumeric.
No.
No.
Sort of?
Were you trying to use a cheat code?
No, I was not trying to use a cheat code.
Was this a game you were involved in creating, or were you playing the game as a regular user?
Ah, finally a bump!
I was playing it as a regular user.
Was the command intended to cause your in game character to take an action?
No, it was not intended to cause my in-game character to take an action.
(And I hate how Discourse makes it hard to answer that: I can’t just say “no”, and I can’t quote it and say “no”, I have to make it a full sentence)
