Q: Can I play a real MIDI keyboard in a Guitar Hero/Rock band like game on a Windows PC?

For what I know about these games, Guitar Hero is released for Windows, but it does not support MIDI keyboards. While Rock Band supports MIDI, but is not released for Windows. Is there any game like these which supports MIDI keyboards and is released for Windows?

Wipqozn

@twobugs huh, 10am doesn't seem like too early for a meeting then. MY rule of thumb is folks should be at work for an hour before any meetings happen. Gives them time to go through e-mails, get settled, an review the previous day, as well as plan out the curent day. Also accountsf or being few minutes late or getting stuck in traffic

@LessPop_MoreFizz I had the same thought, and it really bothers me.

@Frank like I said last night, that doesn't solve anything except gives someone else the problem, and then we'd have to deal with migrating all the time because you know people will still ask here, and people complaining that we don't take them, and so on and so on. It doesn't fix anything, it just allows you to close your eyes and hum and pretend you don't see that tire fire anymore because it just isn't in your yard. That's not a good solution at all.

Let me work on that

KutuluMike

I want to see you stream Frogger.

KutuluMike

that sounds awesome.

especially if the timing works out.

@Arperum Well you can always watch the archives! Nobody does, though

I might as well sub to turbo because exporting to youtube is dumb

@Sterno Yeah, I spend more than that per meal whenever I eat.

@Sterno XNA was discontinued like 6 years ago and I was pissed.

@Sterno I was going to say 30, but I figured being accurate would be even more biting

Whether or not this worked is irrelevant

Q: How can I tell how charged up a Zarya is?

How can I tell how charged up a friendly or enemy Zarya is? Obviously, if I'm the one who is Zarya, I can just look at my charge level, but for other Zaryas I seem to have to go by how much they're glowing or how wide their beam is. What are the thresholds where the visual effects for this chan...

Recent Questions - Arqade: How can I tell Zarya's charge level at a glance?

posted on June 29, 2016 by two bugs

It's useful to know a friendly Zarya's charge level, as it's a good indicator of whether or not they're looking to push or play defensively. For an enemy Zarya, I'd like to know the same time for similar reasons. There's a graphical effect that appears around her, but I'm not sure how to read it since you can't see it when playing as Zarya.

Q: I need help with Duplicating on a mac

I have a mac, and the mouse I use is an apple mouse that has no scroll key in the middle of it. Is there any way to duplicate items using my keypad or keyboard?

@Ash @spugsley I feel better about Pixar's volcano short (the one for Inside Out) now that I found out that it was a specific reference to Iz (the famous Hawaiian musician/activist) and his wife.

Also my lunch Hearthstone games sucked. Had like two that game down to the first one to draw the right thing won, and then a few against tough decks I misplayed

I'm trying out a new deck but some of the deck documentation really stinks. "This matchup is so easy I'm not going to explain it" is actually not very helpful

Yuuki

Maybe I just have bad experiences, but how do you manage strategy with that amount of RNG?

You have to go with general strategies, identifying your opponents deck, and reading them

For example... if I go up against a mage, expect Flamestrike. Always.

You can get a general idea of what decks are popular by reading sites like hearthpwn or tempostorm (tempostorm is ugh)

Yuuki

Yeah but if your deck is already set when you get into a match, how do you account for that? Bait out Flamestrike with something is what I'm thinking, but I dunno how.

For mage particularly, you don't overload your board

It's tricky because you need to apply pressure

But if you go all in the other player can counter you and you're left with nothing

Another thing is realizing there will be absolutely ridiculous and stupid games you just get screwed in

I had one last night where this Druid had honestly one of the most perfect hands possible

Turn 4 he had his entire board - all 7 slots - were 3/3s or better

Even with perfect play on my part, I doubt I had a chance

There was that time my opponent played a card that let him summon Ysera on like Turn 3 or 4.

But then he or I played a card that let me Mind Control for super cheap and I got his Ysera.

Which I followed up with Sylvanas.

That was about the only time RNG has worked in my favor in Hearthstone.

I had one where I had a really good play and the guy conceded on his turn 3

Granted I had a 10/10 and had cleared his board
