Q: How can I check if my phone can run a certain game?

There currently is a software that calculates if a computer can run a certain game on a website. This website does not work on mobile or tablets. Is there a way that can check if a smartphone can run a certain game? I'm talking Android and IOS and windows phone.

Memor-X

04:30

@Ave talking to clients?

bwDraco

Granted, they've greatly improved, but the level curve in the final dungeon sequence (70 to 80) is very steep.

Memor-X

@bwDraco what's your level before you reach it?

bwDraco

(Ys VIII is by far the largest game in the Ys franchise, so they've extended the endgame level target from the traditional 50-60 to 80, with slower leveling but greater stat growth per level)

@Memor-X Was in the high 60s.

Memor-X

@bwDraco and have your fled from anything?

bwDraco

Not really. I generally fight through enemies.

Since Ys SEVEN, being behind a few levels isn't a showstopper. The same can't be said of Ys VI and earlier.

So it's not as big an issue as it used to be.

Falcom has definitely improved the way leveling works.

But it can still get rather grindy at times.

@Ave we had someone a bit like that that led a team of consultants on my last job. Unfortunately that prevented the team under him from voicing their much better opinions until I basically verbally curb stomped him in front of the entire project team. I was the hero of his entire team and the only person who could get him to fall in line after that

almost the entire rest of my coworkers (not from the consultants) was looking at me like I'd lost my mind when I did it except for this one older manager who saw exactly what I was doing. The rest figured it out a few weeks later when they noticed the productivity increase

I'm sure it was in part because it's so counter to my personality, but it's what needed doing in that situation

I wonder how similar the fingerings are for those two instruments.

On the one hand, that is really impressive, but on the other I don't know if it's as hard as it looks. These instruments both require your 2 hands to be doing 2 completely different things at the same time to play normally.

I play the piano and learning to play both hands together takes some practice but isn't that bad.

Jason Berkan

@InvaderSkoodge If they are tuned the same, should be very similar.

Invader Skoodge

I've never played a stringed instrument, so I know like the basic mechanics of a fretboard but no specifics.

Jason Berkan

@InvaderSkoodge For fretted instruments, the string is tuned to a note and each fret is a semi-tone up.

Invader Skoodge

@JasonBerkan Well yes I knew that much :)

But I don't know the specific notes they're tuned to, or the intervals between strings, and I especially don't know hand shapes and such to make aurally pleasing sounds.

All the things that come from actual experience with it.

I also can't even fathom how fretless stringed instruments are even playable.

Jason Berkan

The specific notes vary a lot by instrument.

Invader Skoodge

17:49

I also don't know how people play trombones, for the same reason.

I will stick to instruments that have discrete pitches.

Jason Berkan

@InvaderSkoodge I was just going to use that as an example, as my son plays the trombone.

For trombones, they have "positions" and you just memorize your arm location.

Invader Skoodge

That's crazy to me.

When I played trumpet we had to tune the instrument to our specific posture and humidity/temperature conditions of the venue.

And we did that by pushing a slide in/out like millimeters.

So if you're off by the tiniest bit in your positioning, you have the wrong pitch.

Jason Berkan

Well, he's played it for like two months, so he always has the wrong pitch. :P

Invader Skoodge

hahaha

Jason Berkan

And he's too short to reach seventh position, so some notes he can't play yet.

Invader Skoodge

17:54

aww :(

I mean there were definitely a bunch of trumpet notes I never hit, since I only played up until 9th grade, because I just couldn't blow hard enough to hit the higher ones.

SaintWacko

I played trumpet through high school

Invader Skoodge

I would have if I went to the local high school, but I went to a magnet school that wasn't big enough to have a band and was too far away from the local high school for me to make it there in time for practices.

I prefer the piano anyway.

@InvaderSkoodge For most things I advise against starting kids young, but music is one of those things where it works really well.

Invader Skoodge

@JasonBerkan Right now I'm just playing lots of music for them (both actual songs and me playing stuff on the piano), and teaching them how to find the beat and stuff like that, really basic.

I started taking piano lessons in 2nd grade, and my daughter is in preschool right now.

So probably 2-3 years and we can try it out.

Jason Berkan

We started everyone but our eldest in Music for Young Children when they were 5. It ends when they are 9 and they are prepared to take their Grade 1 Conservatory exam.

I think MYC is Canada only, though.

Invader Skoodge

Ok, so maybe I could try to find something as soon as next year.

Jason Berkan

At age 5, they start by teaching the notes on the keyboard by giving them fun names (Dino D, Edith E) and using pictures of those animals to let them play songs. By the end of the first year they can play the C scale and read those notes off the staff.

Invader Skoodge

Actually I could probably start teaching her the note names; she knows her letters pretty well already.

They may even teach them the I/IV/V chords the first year. I can't remember.
