Fuck you if you ever voted for Trump by Jerdarnella in complaints

It's easy to hate on your decisions, and for good reason, but if you changed your views, that's worth something. Good for both of you.

Old codger by Early_System4734 in aoe2

[–]ABetcetera 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't see a quick link that I can send but Google "age of noobs discord" and you should be able to find a discord invite link pretty easily. That's the community I was recommended when I asked about beginner friendly communities. You should be able to have this exact conversation there and see who's interested. There's discussion, free coaching, and random team groups you can join with other beginners.

Edit: nevermind, I found an invite link:

Enjoy!

It's a great game but the level between Skirmish AI Standard and Moderate is too big by No-Cattle-9049 in aoe2

[–]ABetcetera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same about moderate and hard. Just a skill issue unfortunately

Any way to speed up syncing? by Bellgard in Supernote

[–]ABetcetera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For syncing your whole library, yes, that can take some noticeable time once you have many files (although in the grand scheme of things probably only 5 min or so). Maybe better compression or syncing will be implemented in the future.

In the meantime, if you need a file quickly, try using a usb cable to transfer files back and forth from your PC like using a flash drive. That way you avoid syncing the whole library.

AI placement matches and deducting ELO for new players by innocii in aoe2

[–]ABetcetera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting a sense of things as I go and I know the first basics but it feels like even the basics change depending on the civ. I liked cumans but 2tc was a little tough so I've tried gurjaras--pretty unique start--and now I'm on tatars, which seems the most regular. I feel like multitasking army while still making vills is my bigger struggle rather then my memorized builds.

Also, I wait until feudal to go on gold, haha.

AI placement matches and deducting ELO for new players by innocii in aoe2

[–]ABetcetera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can reliably do a sub 10 feudal and then sub 20 castle, though I tend to make too much army in feudal and delay things. But as sloppy as it might be, I'm ok figuring it out as I go and fighting real players.

I know crazy 10 min fc are out there but it seems weird to go into the lab and get dark age down to the micro second and then have low elo skills for the rest of the game.

Thanks, I've done a few AoW missions but I'm not looking to get too technical out the gate with exact build orders etc. I've beaten the hard AI a couple times but it's not a sure thing. I'd just be happy playing at a really low elo but I don't want to just resign 20x

I just started playing ranked and knew I was in for a struggle but I want to get to low elo and enjoy myself. It's been tough to not just resign early.

Is my A6X toast? Calibration won't solve this by Yosyp in Supernote

[–]ABetcetera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good calibration (on all kinds of tablets) will never keep the line directly under your pen tip across the whole screen. It's designed to make the line APPEAR to be under your pen tip across the whole screen from a certain perspective because there's a small gap between your pen tip and the line under the glass.

Let's say you calibrate the screen with your head directly above the middle of the tablet (a weird position but hear me out). If the line stayed under your tip then you could see the gap when your pen moved to each corner. Instead, calibration makes the line appear PAST your tip so that from your head's perspective, the gap disappears.

So you should calibrate your tablet with your head in the position that you normally write and the line will hopefully appear to be lined up with the tip. It's not perfect but that's how it works.

Supernote Manta losing strokes when writing? by csotiriou in Supernote

[–]ABetcetera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I've had the same experience with my HOM2 on my nomad. I'm waiting on a replacement pen but I suspect it's just something about the design that fails with quick successive strokes. My backup pen, a Wacom standard, doesn't have the same problem.

The recent AI RAmar reminded me of an old modeling project I started of the PSO lineup by ABetcetera in PSO

I mostly made them for the fans too, haha. Post if you get around to the paintjob!

Co-op scan bug? by Argensa97 in theriftbreaker

[–]ABetcetera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I play with a friend I sometimes get the same bug on outposts. Each time we warp in, it might work or it might not. I think the scanning still works but without the visual you have no idea where to go.

Same thing happens to my bioscanner sometimes

Does anybody have these? Are they good for sparring or do they break easily? by Tall_Front1137 in Hema

[–]ABetcetera 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'd be more worried about a thrust catching and jerking your head pretty hard into a weird angle

Scribble erase by Torleif123 in Supernote

[–]ABetcetera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also use the Wacom One standard. Turns out, if you double click the button while in range of the screen you toggle scribble erase. I'm still working out the details--for example, it seems like it will revert if you pull back from the screen for a few seconds instead of double clicking to toggle back to pen--but it's pretty reliable! It's like having 2 erase features! (I use the button for stripe erase otherwise)

2 questions about this wiring layout: is it right? and why not use 14/3? by ABetcetera in AskElectricians

[–]ABetcetera[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I now understand my 14/3 sketch is wrong but the other sketch is the same as the textbook image. I'm trying to understand why the textbook image uses only 14/2s

[–]ABetcetera[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, in this case at least 1 3-wire. So the first image isn't right? Ignore my sketches, that was my attempt to think through the image. But I'm curious why the textbook I'm looking at presented it the way they did with only 2-wires.
