So I've been trying to make the Space Stone from the Marvel universe and I would like to know whether it's possible to make it so that when I right click a block of blue glazed terra-cotta, an ender pearl can be tossed or some action can take place. If possible, I would also like the block to lea...
So I am currently recreating the Space Stone from the Marvel universe in Minecraft, and I would like to know whether it is possible to detect when the player right clicks an item or block (in this case blue glazed terra-cotta) and for a command to be able to perform an action. For the Space Stone...
I would normally just utilize my pi 2 which I have lying around but pi zero was cheap and I could mark it as a company expense (not day job but lasagna ltd) so I went with that.
@Elva one problem with that is how you can't use usb ethernet to connect to it
hmm, I'm now thinking how I can connect to it without bothering with usb ethernet and without being too hacky
Does "ssh over wifi into phone, ssh over bluetooth into it from there" count as too hacky?
(well, rather ssh jump (is that the right word?) to it)
(I am silly and used my high security key on my pwnagotchi and by my standards my phone is not secure enough to be able to house that, so I have to come up with a hacky solution to connect to it)
I completed the first story level The Fall and looking at the starts I only got 1 Spark, 1 Log and 1 Track.
After proceeding into the next level and then quitting out to redo the first level I see that the Switch Gun I get later on is with me from the very start, and when I go into Story Mode i...
We are in the same server EUWest and i can see his profile, i can add anyone else just fine but when i try to add him it says "yikes, internal server error, please try again later". I've tried several times in different days and when he tries to add me the friend request never arrives, any help?
@Nzall in case anyone is wondering: it's not "if you save your fingerprint with a screen protector it can be bypassed as long as it has the screen protector"
it's "if you save your fingerprint then put on a screen protector, any finger will unlock it"
@Elva Even if they were exactly your fingerprint or your face, they're bad security tools because it's a bit more expensive (and painful) to change your fingerprint or your face vs. a text-based password.
@Yuuki From a usability perspective they're actually an improvement over a text-based password, because a text-based password is a lot harder to enter on a phone
there is always a consideration to made between security and usability, because security at the expense of usability generally causes users to find shortcuts that reduce security
(essentially as in... in a "computer science/mathematics, if you can losslessy convert back and forth between the two they're the same thing" kind of sense)
@Elva Problem is that 90% of phones use those tricks only to unlock the phone. If you wish to make purchases or do something else on your phone, you can't do that with your numerical or pattern password, but you can do that with biometrics
I just hope I'm not getting water in the basement. This isn't as bad as Dorian, but my gutters were clear then, and water overflowing the back gutter was the primary problem.
@MageXy It's not about being SFW or not. it's about having certain expectation that you don't want to get mixed. I don't want to mix my expectations for the word sexy and those for the word dog any more than the furries have already done to me

Now I fixed it (sorta) yesterday by running the installer over again. Got to login, played a game, but then I hit a separate bug (accept game overlay stuck over everything) and had to close the client.
@Frank its funny. so many people were super upset that you won the election, and were scared you would terrorize the site with your mod powers. yet, i havent seen like any of them post a meta with them having a problem with your moderation
I'll admit to being one of the people who had some concerns over Frank's initial induction to the mod team. But since then I think Frank has done a great job. He's really grown into the role.
Honestly the whole mod team seems pretty well put together.
So I have the digital download of Apex Legends. They came out with a Special edition that I want to buy. If I put in that new Physical version of the Apex Legends disc, will I lose my data? Because I really want to keep all my data because I have a bunch of legendary skins and stuff I don't want ...
For some reason I only just now noticed that I can choose to either flag a question for moderation, or opt to close it.
Is the second option really just a shortcut (of one mouse-click less) to that particular subcategory of the 'flag' option, or is there more to it?
I'm going to be honest, while it's partially real life keeping me busy, it's also that I just never use this site as a gaming resource anymore.
Oh, hey, a top comment on that gender pronoun FAQ thing is by Sterling Archer, which makes me want to point out this important thing: Archer is good and @fredley should watch it
I'm starting the main campaign and I see a difficulty dropdown menu with "Beginner", "Advanced", and "Expert". I don't see any tooltips or other information that let me know how that actually changes the difficulty of the game though.
I can either already find what I'm looking for there or get the answer way faster. This site doesn't seem to have the traffic anymore to actually get questions answered. Which obviously is a problem that feeds itself
Part of that is that it's just easier to subscribe to a subreddit for a game you like and be active on it for the duration. You'll see info you might be interested in and be able to answer questions you see pop up. I know theoretically you can do that with tags here but in practice it's not as easy
Sorta maybe an answer from Frank, otherwise nothing. Subreddit had one, though!
Plus, if I'm going to go play Pathfinder: Kingmaker or something and want to ask "What's a good build for Paladin" or some shit, people will happily jump in and answer and I don't have to worry about the whole thing being shut down as too subjective
Then you've got all the games that go through major changes over time. Say, Path of Exile, or even Fortnite. We try to avoid duplication and whatnot, and while it's annoying to try to google a particular build or question about mechanics in POE and see a bunch of posts, then sort by newest to hopefully get what you want, it's still better than just seeing one question from 3 years prior that's obviously out of date but no one will ever go back to leave new answers to because it's just not really
of visibility to them
Look at Fortnite, arguably the most popular game in the world, and we have only 124 questions on it, and looking at the votes on them, it's pretty obvious they get very little attention.
Okay, that might be hyperbolic, Minecraft is probably more popular and I'm sure some others I'm not thinking of too, but still it's an obscenely popular game
@Sterno There are two important orthogonal measures here: how popular a game is, and how many different interesting questions there are to ask about it
Hell, you could practically do 124 questions just for all the "Where the fuck do I go for this week's weekly challenges?"
Of course, with Fortnite, a large percentage of the players are going to be of an age where they can't/won't format things in a way acceptable for this site
Back when I played it, there'd be weekly challenges every week, and every week I'd hit the subreddit to find a post like this: reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/avqic5/…
If i'm using ctrl to sprint and I try to jump, the jumping action gets delayed by about 2 seconds. Previously this has not been the case and I have been able to jump and hold sprint before. I have not gotten a new keyboard or anything. Are there any solution to this or am I stuck with it as it is...
I bet if that had been a question/answer on this site, there would have been huge arguments about how useful it was (since it's of no value when the season is over), whether there should be one for each week, or each challenge item, or etc etc etc
Yet just that image is so insanely useful to people playing the game that you'll find it plastered all over the internet (I think I even saw it on Forbes), and the dude who makes them is making decent bank just off the support-a-creator code donations he gets via the in-game item shop because people are thankful for them
Maybe I'm building a strawman there and it wouldn't have caused issues on this site, but my past experiences have me doubtful
All that said, I'm not really trying to knock on this site. I'm just stating why other avenues seem a lot better for getting answers these days. They're just better formatted for it and more lax, which can be bad but is often good. Plus, a site like reddit isn't all about questions and answers, which ends up giving you more eyeballs on it overall I think
I think one of the bigger challenges is that the site is not really designed for games like Fortnite or League of Legends where constant updates can render questions invalid or out of date. We're a lot better at answering questions for standalone games that stay the same even after decades.
I'm looking at the close vote review queue, and I just saw like 6 flagged questions for HL's Hammer mod? I know we don't do MC tech support, but are these ok?
Most of our Overwatch questions have aged poorly, too
It's getting harder and harder in games to have an encyclopedic answer that will be correct for generations to come, which is kind of what this site is designed for, versus an answer that's "here's your answer that's good enough for right now... ask again in a few months if it doesn't fit anymore"
Granted, for old, unpopular games that aren't going to have an active subreddit, if there's not already gamefaq out there for it, I'd try here
I'm not saying everyone plays them. I'm just saying they're hugely popular
I definitely don't disagree that there's a niche of games that we're decently-suited to handle. Like you said, RPGs (particularly single-player ones) work well because they aren't likely to change much
But, for example, Disco Elysium just came out. A big RPG. A good fit for questions on this site. At this point I'm so used to looking to reddit for answers that I'd probably try there first.
So i'm trying to summon a mob with items in hands and on body but i don't want it to loot this stuff when killed. I want to manage the loot via a death loot table.
Here is my command :

@Frank I mostly agree, though I did just buy some JRPGs for my Switch that look like they've gone through 3-4 iterations as they came out for various platforms over the last few decades
Yeah, that's my thing these days. I'll play a game, run into a problem, figure I'll just keep playing and ask later, discover the answer, and then not bother to post a question-and-self-answer because I don't feel like putting in the effort.
Hell, I'm replaying Baldur's Gate right now and occasionally trying to sort out how something worked in the original BG, versus BG with expansion, versus BG: Enhanced Edition
Though I just veered off because Baldur's Gate isn't a JRPG. But the Dragon Quest games I just nabbed are
@Frank Sometimes I can't remember the name of a town or NPC if I come back to the game days later, so I at least like a marker in a town or that circle "its in this area" mechanic
@Sterno Nah, @Frank means "Greater Rifts" (a sort of end-game procedurally generated dungeon) whereas I'm playing off the word "grift" (a petty or small-scale swindle).
I'm not on Arqade Discord anymore, but if I want to play Bad Rats the MOBA with @Wipqozn, I can just hit him up on Steam and hop into a discord call or private server together to play
I have 50 kittens, but it says I will only receive 2 karma. Shouldn't I receive 14 karma for these?
So I started creating an own Super Mario Bros level with the Reggie editor but I can't find a way on how to test it on my Wii, can anybody help?

I want to know if there is a command or data pack ther allowed me to see inside someone’s ender chest if I’m oped.
When i start a new game, the maps that i have installed from the steam workshop won't show up in the map select screen.
