Q: How to determine the right sword?

I am fighting enemies and using my Steel Sword for human enemies, as per the games instructions, but I've just run into a group of Ghouls and I'm unsure which sword I should be using. The game tells me that I can tell which sword to use by looking at the health bar. A silver health bar means usi...

Q: Chop the dog - What is training for?

Does teaching Chop the various tricks from the iFruit app actually serve a purpose in GTA V? Is anything useful gained in-game for Chop as a result of taking care of him via the app?

Well hey, you guys are getting popular in other parts of stack I'm on. chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/21764671#21764671

user15026

@MadMAxJr sigh That's not exactly something to be proud of, nor is it a new thing that people think about this room.

@MadMAxJr No we effing do not!

@MB

eh..

user15026

?

@MadMAxJr "are getting popular"

you must be new here

9:26 PM

That was sarcasm.

I'll use <sarcasm> next time.

@MBraedley I'm just living my life at this point

Now now @badp, his definition of popular is just different than ours.. lets be accepting of this and move on.

user15026

@MadMAxJr To be perfectly blunt, I am tired of people constantly reminding us we used to be a flag-magnet.

It's my first time seeing this leak over into my corner of stack is all.

A perfect blunt would be nice now

@npst FYI, you can edit messages - just press the up arrow on your keyboard in an empty chat text box and you can cycle through your recent messages and edit them.

It works!

magic.

user15026

Pretty much magic, yeah :)

Wow, all this time and I didn't know you could do that.

Is there a secret key combination to cycle through the suggested nicks when using @ as well?

Exactly in the way that it only works on the young... there is a time limit on when you can go back and edit IIRC :)

user15026

9:28 PM

@npst Tab :)

user15026

@James 5 minutes, I think.

@AshleyNunn

but still not enter :D

That tis a nice time frame, I always thought it was shorter

but thanks, I'm a morer smart people now

I think you mean Im morer a smarter people now... ;)

Don't be such a foul mouth!

Q: In Minecraft how do i tp a team but have each of the players go different places?

All I need is teleport stuff with scoreboards and stuff and idk how to do that but if you tell me I will know. It is a problem and that i am just trying to fill space for the question.

What's the record for points-to-first-gold ratio btw? I got one for 10k views recently... Alas, only three votes.

user15026

I don't know we track that

I don't know we're being all serious all of a sudden

9:36 PM

Captain cabinets trapped in cabinets

@fredley Quite possibly the worst superhero.

@MadMAxJr Can he get out? Will he get out?

He might be ashamed

Do five sporting, diverse youths have to hold up rings of different types of kitchen object installation in order to summon him?

@MadMAxJr it just points out the fact that we have so many more users in the chat than any other chat room

9:38 PM

Getting out of the cabinet is still a big thing in some societies

I think we're pretty tame, considering this is the biggest chat room in SE

You all need to watch the Mighty Boosh and come back again

Let's try again shall we?

Tried watching that. I don't think I'm British enough for that.

Soup, soup, a tasty soup, soup, a spicy Carrot and Coriander

@AshleyNunn I believe it's 2 minutes #alwayswait2minutes

user15026

9:40 PM

@Chippies You might be right, 5 minutes might be something else

@AshleyNunn editing answers/questions before it shows "Edited by ..."

user15026

Having the ability to always edit because mod means I forget stuff like that

user15026

@Chippies I mean chat edits, not questions

You're all awful

ah, well, could be a mod thing then, Idk any 5 minute rules in chat

Idk many rules to begin with, so that doesn't mean there are none

9:56 PM

For the more electronic engineers in the Bridge, I have a question.

I'm using a calculator to determine what size a resistor I need, and from what it's spitting out, I need 1 ohm resistors.

You're being quite frank with your information

@Frank a stupid question, but why do you need a resistor? Is the battery too powerful for the LEDs?

Are...those even worth it? Are they going to be even useful?

Okay. Depends on what you're doing. Is this just a resistor to go in series with the LED?

@Chippies I've been told you always need a resistor.

@Unionhawk Yeah, so I don't turn them into pretty smoking pieces of glass.

9:58 PM

Am I missing an episode of chat? I need context

@Frank aren't the LEDs resistors already?

@Chippies no they're diodes

@Unionhawk but they have resistance and they seem to work fine (from what I saw earlier) with the battery. Why the extra resistors?

I don't know if my batteries are too powerful; there's no option in the calculator to provide that info.

Q: Skyrim, can't dismiss followers

So I have two followers in my game, and for no reason at all they started glitching. When I press E on them, it has an option to tell them to follow me, no option to open inventory, and no option to dismiss them. When I choose the option for them to follow me, it does nothing. I tried disabling e...

10:00 PM

From what I can tell, it's telling me the resistor will drop about 1% of the current.

Do your LEDs have some numbers saying how much voltage they can take?

It has some stats, but I have no bloody clue what the terminology means.

VF is...forward voltage?

What am I looking for?

@Frank are they not 'english' LEDs?

@Chippies No, they are.

I just don't know electronic terminology or shorthand.

@Frank yeah, you are right

10:03 PM

Ah well, midnight here.

We'll see each others in the future!

timetravels to bed

Okay, well, that has If as well.

I googled "VF electric" and found a bunch of czech websites, but searching for "VF LED" fixed the confusion

I've always heard use a resistor, but I'll look into things in a bit

This could be useful (I didn't read it, so can't guarantee)

My instincts say yes, but...

10:06 PM

I have the spec sheet for the thing, if it helps.

that article is actually very good at explaining stuff @Unionhawk @Frank

All I really know is I give it 3V, and they both light up really nice.

> If you read about LEDs, you will notice that everyone tells you, that you need a current limiting resistor. But mostly they do not tell you why.

and then it goes on explaining stuff

If it helps, the forward voltage on my LEDs is greater than what I'm feeding them.

Does that mean anything?

The article says I can.

> There are two ways to bypass the resistor. One way is to lower the input voltage. If you are able to run your complete circuit with the same voltage as forward voltage of the LED, perfect. No resistor needed.

@Frank I guess if they light up with such low voltage, it's good enough?

10:11 PM

@Chippies I wish I knew.

the writer of the article seems to know his stuff

Everyone's telling me I have to have resistors, so the calculator I used says I need a 1 ohm resistor.

Which...seems kinda useless.

the calculator probably can't go below 1 ohm

so since you don't really need a resistor, it just shows you 1 ohm

Well, that's why I'm asking.

where is @origami when we need one

10:12 PM

If I'm reading it right, I'm not actually overcharging my LED; it's just passing on the additional voltage.

he hasn't been around in a long time, I wonder what's up

Well, @Uni's here, and seems to know his stuff.

Idk, he seemed to know just as much as we do

i.e not a lot

and he seems to have disappeared

It's not the burning out I really care about; it's the having to replace it.

this might help as well

10:15 PM

That's actually the calculator I'm using.

Q: Who is the strongest carry in the current meta?

I don't mean who is the best super carry, that is arguable. I mean the mathematically and mechanically the best in all stages of the game, with and without farm. I think it's dragon Knight but I'm not sure. Please elaborate why is your chosen carry really the best in 8.64

When I inputted the true values, it told me I needed more power to light it up.

Ah, well. For now, I'll let it sit. Doesn't seem that dangerous to run 'em without.

@Frank I think that indicates that a) your numbers are wrong or b) it works because magic

either way, I think you should be safe

you don't need to have them running 24/7 anyway, do you?

@Chippies Not planning on it, no.

so it's probably even more so safe

10:23 PM

@Lazers2.0 Oh yeah, we don't close as off-topic because too localized (to a specific patch in this case) anymore, do we.

That's even more specific than specific patch, which is the craziest part. It's who is the best right now as far as we know. It could easily change tomorrow

I have no clue what they mean by "mechanically the best" either.

Yeah, that's an odd way to phrase it.

Not to mention it's hard to assign a hard "mathematical" value to things like CC and such.

MOBAs revolve somewhat strongly around counterplay as well.

So one "strongest carry" could be completely neutered by the kit of some random "weak carry".

True. I tend to dislike questions like that because rarely clearcut and it's just so specific to this moment in time

10:28 PM

Not to mention how much team synergy comes into play.

if they're trying to foster an interesting discussion I think a DOTA board would be a much better candidate

user15026

yeah, if they want a discussion, we aren't the place for that

Well, technically we (chat) are the place for that. The main site isn't though.

user15026

Well, we could be in chat, maybe

user15026

But generally, when I say stuff like that, I mean the main site

user15026

10:30 PM

because chat is very much secondary to that

> "Report me if you want. But the train I'm on crashed, I can't stay because we're being evacuated. GL"

Well. I guess that's a solid reason for leaving.

@Chippies A) I am pleased at how well that scans lyrically and b) I cracked teh hell up

@AshleyNunn the A) was important in my decision to share it with you guys :P

user15026

@Chippies Yay! Someone else who notices the things I do :P

you can read the thing while singing it to the tune in your head

user15026

@Chippies which is totally what I did

10:47 PM

@AshleyNunn same :)

Q: Can I transfer funds to another blizzard account?

OK well I messed up. I have two blizzard accounts and I wanted to buy blackrock for the account I actually use. So I click on the button that takes me to the website so I can add funds. What I didn't realize, is that it took me to the site where I was already logged into the wrong account and I ...

Recent Questions - Arqade: How to be efficient in World of Warcraft?

posted on May 21, 2015 by Svish

Haven't played the game in years, and even when I did I wasn't a very skilled player. Did very alright in PvE, but in PvP and team situations I pretty much sucked relative to other players. And now that I tried out the game again, I discovered I suck more than ever. Dungeons was basically a long run where most things were dead even before I got there. I usually do f…
