Q: What can i do to make them work equally?

When am playing soccer game mostly pes2015 and pes2016..controller one is always more active than controller two. controller one tends to move and tackle faster. please what can I do to fix this?

RedRiderX

I guess that's part of the problem with Bartle's Taxonomy (or at least this test implementation of it)

Nate Kerkhofs

@RedRiderX then you're probably on the edge between 2 elements.

RedRiderX

Here is a good video that talks about it

Nate Kerkhofs

I'm weirded out by still have 13% in Griefer. I abhor PvP in all its forms.

two bugs

I think Strix is right and it considers any even quasi-competitive thing to be "griefing"

StrixVaria

I like two kinds of competition in video games.

Direct, head to head, one player wins and one player loses games are some of my favorite.

Fighting games, team shooters, etc.

Yuuki

5:13 PM

I actually prefer the card suit nomenclature, but I'm just used to that because of KoL.

StrixVaria

I also like leaderboards that are skill-based, rather than grind-based.

High scores in games like Papers Please and Cook, Serve, Delicious are fun to compete on.

Getting a high score in Diablo 3's greater rifts couldn't be less interesting.

two bugs

The Diablo stuff is definitely skill-based, but since it's an rpg there is a strict numerical element to it as well

Nate Kerkhofs

I prefer to just discover the world and build my character on my own pace.

StrixVaria

@twobugs It's both skill and grind-based, but the grind half removes all my interest.

Chippies

Nate Kerkhofs

I know that I didn't enjoy GTA V without it, so I'll probably need it for IV as well

Sterno

@SaintWacko I've done it a few times when I thought I was telling one soldier to do something and accidentally told someone else, or misclicked for movement, etc

SaintWacko

@Sterno I just keep forgetting about the Gremlin

two bugs

I've had a few times when I swear I didn't click something but my guy does it anyway

Sterno

It's almost always the first action of a turn when it happens so that's good. I wouldn't wat to do it on the 5th action of a battle round or something, because it would change (probably) too much of what happened in combat

two bugs

Or the controls seem to get weird (mainly while using the grenade launcher)

Sterno

5:24 PM

@twobugs Yeah, I've done it maybe 10 times and a good 5 of those have been my grenade slightly altering between where I think I have it placed and where it actually is when I click

MBraedley

Gravitational Waves detected

SaintWacko

@MBraedley Whoa

two bugs

What happens for me with the launcher is it sometimes seems to disable which buttons confirm the action. Sometimes I have to click the mouse, but other times the mouse will be doing both the move action and the grenade aiming. It's weird.

Because they have properties of both

MBraedley

@djsmiley2k This is a flawed way of looking at it, but I can't articulate why it's flawed.

@NateKerkhofs This is also an incorrect way of looking at it.

murgatroid99

@djsmiley2k Gravity isn't really a "force", in the sense of classical mechanics. In General Relativity, it's essentially the shape of spacetime itself, bent by massive objects

James

@nukeforum Just note that this 'event' was the merging of two massive black holes :D

Bartle Test

The Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology is a series of questions and an accompanying scoring formula that classifies players of multiplayer online games (including MUDs and MMORPGs) into categories based on their gaming preferences. The test is based on a 1996 paper by Richard Bartle and was created in 1999–2000 by Erwin Andreasen and Brandon Downey. Although the test has met with some criticism for the dichotomous nature of its question-asking method, as of October 2011, it had been taken over 800,000 times. The result of the Bartle Test is the "Bartle Quotient", which is calculated based on the answers...

100% per axis, I guess

SaintWacko

Chippies

@murgatroid99 I know about it, but I don't exactly understand how that works

Wipqozn

@Sterno Sorry to disappoint.

Sterno

@Yuuki Any theory about this?

Chippies

@Yuuki I have a steam controller and I have used it maybe twice

it's actually quite disappointing

murgatroid99

@Chippies It's hard to give a how/why beyond "That's how the universe works" and "That's how the math works out". Basically, all light travels at the same speed in every reference frame, and it turns out that that implies some weird things about reference frames moving fast relative to each other

Yuuki

@Sterno Hmm... you raise a good point and I'm not entirely sure.

Chippies

5:51 PM

@murgatroid99 I hope all that will be figured out within my lifetime, because it's all mindblowingly interesting

James

@murgatroid99 The speed of light is affected by Gravity though, it is not a constant beyond the effects of its environment.

Nate Kerkhofs

is anyone else here subbed to the Beamdog newsletter?

Ohnana

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=621306039

murgatroid99

@James I'm pretty sure that's not true. The direction and wavelength of light is affected by gravity, but the speed is not

@Chippies The thing is that there may not be anything more to figure out in that regard. It's like asking "Why is the speed of light 3*10^8 m/s?" The answer is just "it had to be something, and that's what it turned out to be"

Nate Kerkhofs

Also, next week, I'm reinstalling Windows from scratch

James

Oh hmm not from gravity

But just water/glass can slow it down.. its speed is only constant through a vacuum [shrug] Whatever ;)

@James Materials change the speed of light, but that's because it's interacting with the material, not because the actual photons are moving more slowly

it booted just fine, everything worked right off the bat, which was very surprising to me

Nate Kerkhofs

@Chippies I think the situation is different. I don't think your wife is a gamer with 600 GB of games on her SSD and a history of installing and uninstalling software willy nilly

@NateKerkhofs well, she is a gamer, but that's the thing - that's really all she uses t he PC for

Chippies

if that was the PC I use, I would certainly have reinstalled windows on it long ago :P

but since I don't use it and she has no issues with it, the idea of reinstalling everything doesn't sound very pleasant

it's fine when it's on my PC, because if I need anything, I just install it as I go

but on her PC, I don't wanna switch chairs/desks every time we remember that something needs to be installed, lol

murgatroid99

@James OK, Wikipedia is a little unclear, but it seems to indicate that photons are slowed down by matter either because they are absorbed and then re-emitted or because they interact with quantum foam to become massive particles that move more slowly.

James

@murgatroid99 Yeah I mean if they are radiation and they hit something and some of that goes into light, with out mass what else could they lose but their speed?

SaintWacko

Okay

murgatroid99

6:06 PM

@James When photons lose energy, their wavelength decreases, not their speed

SaintWacko

I've watched all of Arrow on netflix

And all of The Flash

What should I watch next?

James

@murgatroid99 So an apple is red because its uniformly decreases the wavelength of photons to a specific wavelength??

Ohnana

the entirety of seinfeld

James

I always thought it was because photons had selectively a wide range of wavelengths and different materials absorbed/reflected different wavelengths.

Is there crossover between that and Jessica Jones?

Also, are they safe for work?

There's plenty of violence, though.

GodEmperorDune

@SaintWacko violence and language, no nudity

James

@murgatroid99 I was?

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean

murgatroid99

@James When a photon is absorbed, and a different photon is emitted, that's a different thing from a single photon changing wavelength

James

6:10 PM

I mean like light refraction through water or a prism doesnt actually change the wave lengths but it does alter their speeds.. it does split them though.

SaintWacko

@GodEmperorDune Ah, that's fine

James

Physics class was a long long time ago for me now though.. I will admit, heh

murgatroid99

@James This is actually poking at the edge of my understanding, too. But as I understand, the propagation speed of light through materials changes, but it's because of some complicated processes that don't actually involve individual photons slowing down

James
