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

GamerMThere 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 i always felt like the rabbit was pressuring me to buy something
clearly that was on purpose
 
@Unionhawk makes sense

Q: Are there any other games in the "typing attack" genre, similar to Magicka?

JonathanI'm aware there are Word-per-Minute typing training games. Magicka is different than that. It is a game where the vast majority of skills you have at the beginning, but they are just so complicated you have to try different typing combinations. You can easily play the game for 10 hours straight a...

 
@Lazers2.0 Duplicate
 
@PrivatePansy shame the link in the duplicate answer directs to the main page because the page it links to no longer exists
 
Oof. Let's see if Google can help, and if not there's always Wayback Machine
I think the article can be replaced with any other source, but in the interest of preserving the original answer I've linked to archive.org mirror
 
@Memor-X i didn't want to lol at this but i did
 
3:05 AM
@PrivatePansy to be honest i'd rather it quoted in the answer, that way the link can go down but we still have the info
 
@Memor-X The linked article is an editorial. It's not particularly useful as a source of info
That's why I said I'd rather replace it with a better source

@AJHenderson I know some people have, but I can't recall who.

I've only done it once at like one of those VR arcade places, but I had fun with it!
 
Ave
I just realized that my job has so far been very unsatisfying in terms of what I wanted when I entered: learning and messing with new tech
I learned a couple tech things but so far my job is extremely vocal and idk
i don't like that
 
@Ave just saw this on on one of the servers. it's more or less what SE did isn't it? but they fixed up a better opt-out method
 
@Ash @TimStone is our resident Vive RMA expert iirc
 
@Memor-X: ugh. Ys VIII is every bit as grindy as its predecessors, especially towards the end of the game.
30 years and Falcom still does this.
 
4:30 AM
@Ave talking to clients?
 
Granted, they've greatly improved, but the level curve in the final dungeon sequence (70 to 80) is very steep.
 
@bwDraco what's your level before you reach it?
 
(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.
 
@bwDraco and have your fled from anything?
 
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
4:37 AM
@Memor-X sales, education etc
 
(I mean, I managed to tackle a level 80 raid battle (formerly Interception) with a level 67 party, but still...)
 
or maybe because Monster Hunter is apart of the school curriculum in japan the japanese are used to being under leveled compared to their foe and dying all the time but learning their enemies movies to avoid getting hit
@Ave thought you was a sysadmin

The final crystal. 100% map coverage.
Let's clean up whatever side quests remain before we proceed to the final boss.
I guess I'll have to come back tomorrow. That's quite a bit of endgame content.

Q: Minecraft command block targeting

B. De JongHow do I select multiple targets with one command block without using @e[type=!player]? For instance: /execute @e[type=creeper] ~ ~ ~ execute @e[type=spider] ~ ~ ~ execute.... Does this make the command block only execute the next execute command if the previous entity is found?

@PrivatePansy Use the Windows calculator, I think that works better than DDG
 
I know. DDG is probably using JavaScript here

Q: How do MHA: One’s Justice and Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 compare?

PhlebasI’m deciding which game to get for the PS4, and they both look pretty similar. What are the major differences? Specifically, I’d like to know about the variability of the fighting. I’ve heard people say One’s Justice doesn’t have super interesting combat, but I don’t know about NUNS4. What do you...

@InvaderSkoodge Not much longer now
Although I might wind up playing more xcom this weekend than soul calibur
I'm so close to ultimate victory
 
@Unionhawk ouch
@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
 
2:18 PM
@Wipqozn less than one half of a hectokilosecond!
 
@InvaderSkoodge Wouldn't it be easier to say less than 50 kiloseconds?
Or are you eventually going to say 1 centimillihectokilosecond?
 
@Nzall Less than 5 decakiloseconds.
Works for me, thanks!
 
2:51 PM
@Wipqozn I saw some high level Xianghua play yesterday and it made me even more excited to try her out.
My first main is probably between her and Seong Mi-Na.
 
@Ash X-Files Theme
@Ave I have trouble taking credit for my own work and this guy's taking credit for other people's work?
 
3:07 PM
@Yuuki One of my scariest childhood memories was coming downstairs when I couldn't sleep while my parents were watching the X-Files. From then on I couldn't sleep whenever I heard the theme music from my bedroom.
I only vaguely remember the visuals but I do remember the abject terror.
 
It is a pretty spooky melody.
 
Yeah, it is spooky anyway, but for me hearing it reminds me of that memory which makes it even moreso.

Q: Can I fight the campaign of Age of Wonders without too much cheese?

Baskakov_DmitriyThe question from the title is too broad on its own, so I am going to narrow it down. I am currently playing the Cult of Storms campaign of Age of Wonders, the 1999 game. It felt very hard at first, when I have discovered the game like a year go: I spawn underground with two exits, with AI com...

@Yuuki yep. that's not my only complaint with the person.
 
4:45 PM
 
user15026
@Yuuki it took me a second to determine where everyones hands were and then holy crap
 
yeah it took me a second watch
 
5:38 PM
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.
 
@InvaderSkoodge If they are tuned the same, should be very similar.
 
I've never played a stringed instrument, so I know like the basic mechanics of a fretboard but no specifics.
 
@InvaderSkoodge For fretted instruments, the string is tuned to a note and each fret is a semi-tone up.
 
@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.
 
The specific notes vary a lot by instrument.
 
5:49 PM
I also don't know how people play trombones, for the same reason.
I will stick to instruments that have discrete pitches.
 
@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.
 
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.
 
Well, he's played it for like two months, so he always has the wrong pitch. :P
 
hahaha
 
And he's too short to reach seventh position, so some notes he can't play yet.
 
5:54 PM
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.
 
I played trumpet through high school
 
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.

Q: What happens when you receive a trade token while your inventory is full?

Alex MyersNot long ago, trade tokens were introduced in Clash Royale. You can hold up to 5 of each unique trade token. What happens if you have 5 of a trade token and you get another from clan war loot?

 
That same son is very good at piano. I'm excited to see what he can do as he gets older.
 
@JasonBerkan Awesome! I hope at least one of my kids gets into music.
 
6:02 PM
@InvaderSkoodge For most things I advise against starting kids young, but music is one of those things where it works really well.
 
@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.
 
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.
 
Ok, so maybe I could try to find something as soon as next year.
 
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.
 
Actually I could probably start teaching her the note names; she knows her letters pretty well already.
 
6:08 PM
They may even teach them the I/IV/V chords the first year. I can't remember.

Q: When will the new "component system for minecraft Bedrock and Pocket Edition be finished?"

ShadowBlstr The NinjaI know that Notch is working on a new "Component" system for Minecraft Bedrock and Pocket Editions to allow the use of commands with NBT Tags, but does anyone know when that is going to finish that? I really want to use this command to give me an epic sword: /give @s diamond_sword 1 0 {ench:[{id:...

 
>notch
??
 
And it's an off-topic question!
 
> Well, he's played it for like two months trombone, so he always has the wrong pitch
 
@Yuuki Is that how you get around it? You just accept that your pitch is within some tolerance of the correct pitch?
For violin too I suppose.
 
6:22 PM
As far as I know, it's just memorizing the right positions.
 
Very happy to announce the game we've been making is out on iOS today! If you liked the Netflix show, the comics or are a fan of games like Animal Crossing, Viva Piñata or Neko Atsume, i think you'll find something to like in our game :D #indiedev #HildaCreatures #HildaTheSeries https://t.co/9TFYsdgOfL
/cc @PrivatePansy
 
@TimStone Oh man, Viva Pinata.
That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
And now I really wanna play Viva Pinata.
Viva Pinata had everything: gardening, cute animals, curating a collection of critters, and great puns.
To this day, I still call macaroons "Macaracoons".
 
@Yuuki Not a trombone fan?
 
@JasonBerkan Nah, it's pretty much all joking.

Q: How do you change the location of the FPS counter in World of Warcraft?

ChildishforlifePressing the default hot key, Ctrl + R I am able to view the FPS that World of Warcraft is running at. Unfortunately, this counter is in the middle of my screen, and constantly changes position whenever I log in, teleport places, or enter instances. How do you set a fix spot for the FPS counter?

Q: Fallout 4 GOY edition.

Micheal Alan DallmannDoes Fallout 4 GOY Edition need a wifi connection to download the dlc's? I wanted to play it but I would want the entirety of it.

 
6:29 PM
I will admit I am NOT a fan of first year band concerts.
 
I would be perfectly fine with not having band concerts for freshmen and sophomores.
Or, heck, you'd have to audition for the concert band to play a school concert.
End of the semester was always incredibly stressful because we'd be gearing up for a winter or summer concert.
 
These kids are in grade 6.
 
Oh yeah, middle school band.
As a former middle schooler, I'd be okay with no concerts at all.
I have now learned that there's an "Alaskan King" bed size. It's 9 feet by 9 feet.
what on earth
This is the height of American excess.
 
named after the king of alaska, track palin
 
Someone in Texas is going to invent the Texas King which is even bigger than the Alaskan King not because they want to compensate for being smaller than Alaska but because they actually truly believe that Texas is bigger than Alaska.
 
6:43 PM
Doesn't most of Alaska live on one relatively small stretch of coastline?
 
Oh yeah the inhabitable space of Alaska is really tiny.
You can't actually drive there, even through Canada.
You have to take a boat or plane.
 
@InvaderSkoodge Parts of far northern Canada are the same actually
 
I'm glad I have some good distractions between now and midnight. My commute home will eat up around 2 hours and I can start reading Realm of the Elderlings 16. The Devils play tonight which will eat up another ~2.5 hours.
I just did the tutorial for Wesnoth last night so I can try one of the real campaigns I guess.
I almost lost the tutorial though so I don't know how well that's going to go.
 
Before long you'll be counting in regular seconds
 
I'm hoping I can actually get some sleep in before I inevitably wake up at midnight.
 
6:59 PM
I should read more books.
I put "The Savage Garden" (carnivorous plant horticulture) on hold yesterday so maybe I'll read that this weekend.
I wanna play Viva Pinata again but I don't have an Xbox.
 
user15026
@Yuuki O.o

That's a very large bed.
 
And Slime Rancher doesn't hit the same notes to me.
@Ash It's unthinkable.
I can't fathom a bed that large.

holy shit new runelite changes
they enhanced bank tags last week, to allow you to add buttons to the left sidebar like "show me all items with tag:teleport"
now you can import/export bank tags, and set tags from your inventory
instead of one by one
 
@InvaderSkoodge having a base tune on your instrument is important, but being a little off on the base tune isn’t the end of the world, because you can simply adjust your embouchure to compensate
Also, blowing air harder isn’t technically required for playing higher notes. Blowing air faster is.
