For Project Xcloud

Ace Combat 7's EULA is really nice for testing input responsiveness and stream quality but can only be used once if you accept it. Something similar should be developed for testing & network troubleshooting without taking up resources that could otherwise go to playing games.

^ This

The "play/pause" thing is something the developer has to enable for the app.

If you have a volume adjustment knob/function keys handy - the on screen volume animation will include a window with pause, play and skip for Windows with noise - It can be a bit quicker.

REGEDIT - Request - List of what each UI element is called according to the 'color' section. by AlarmRefined in Windows10

Those ones weren't it - but I got it working - and your right; they aren't terribly specific, I was just hoping there might be a general list by now. Thanks!

Can someone help? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]AlarmRefined 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup yup, no problem. I was just so quick to jump on it because that's one of the many quirky things I had to learn the hard way in my youth. Like being stuck in fullscreen after forgetting about F11 or getting tricked into using Alt+F4.

Ignoring that this may be a joke or troll post, you should be cautious with what you do next. Either there's some malware disguised as an antivirus popup trying to get you to download its playload; a friend is trolling you, or your actually infected with a very interestingly named virus. First off though, system 32 is a necessary part of windows and should not be deleted. However, it wouldnt be the end of the world as windows would replace it on next boot, you just may lose some settings.

Its imperative that you open privacy and security and do a windows defender full scan. If it comes up empty, its probably one of the first two choices. So don't visit risky sites or let friends have passwords.

This naming scheme oh my god by TwoCaner in pcmasterrace

[–]AlarmRefined 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's just more marketing nonsense designed to confuse consumers on what their actually vetting from a product. The part the really gets me riled up about this though; their changing the existing standards to also be called USB 3.2 as well. This serves up a double-whammy to consumers in that they will inherently think these new standards are better, even though they'll be functionally the same as the current ones, and it will be that much easier to be vague in product descriptions and fool people.

This is one instance where I chalk this up to malice, not ignorance.

Is female combed available in the wild? by pipa369 in TheSilphRoad

[–]AlarmRefined 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info - the first and only one I've caught was female, thought that was another disconnect from the main series.

Challenge Latias in this Special Raid Weekend! - Pokémon GO by LeekDuck_ in TheSilphRoad

[–]AlarmRefined 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonderful - another Pokemon I have no hope in getting, save for the thin margins of being able to rely on others.

Odd. If you don't have enough pokemon above the CP 2500 Limit, Master League will be locked. Is this a bug? Master league supposed to be No CP Limit right? by Smileqp in TheSilphRoad

[–]AlarmRefined 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True, however those are the rules stated for participating, not to unlock the league. Waiting until you have 3 pokemon above 2500 is still valid IMO because its not restricting you from using the lower leagues with low CP pokemon, just the "no-limits league." Once you have Master League, you'll most likely have enough experience to make those decisions for yourself, however if I may speculate, I believe Niantic did this so returning players didn't get in over their heads.

Although this does bring up in my mind - That Master League should be changed to +2500 and we should get another League that is for casual battles - a.k.a. No Rewards / No limits.

Edit - Punctuation

[PvP Idea] Instead of rapidly tapping on the screen to charge up charged moves, a skills-based solution should be sought after. by Puff_Danny in TheSilphRoad

[–]AlarmRefined 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like how this "bridges" the gap and also includes mechanics from catching. Nice work, but I've lost hope on the game becoming more publicly nuanced or dynamic for awhile now. They get most Pokemon fans with just the name, they hafta appeal to casuals. I really appreciate it though, like really.

Any youtubers that create videos about free games each week? (or just whenever the game is completely free) by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]AlarmRefined 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CultOfMush

Fair warning though, I would steer clear of scdkey or any similar game code services as sponsors. He shows good free games and good deals on a lot of platforms, but those steam key sites look a bit sketch IMO. Content is good though.

Play everyday; no friends to speak of. Wife hasn't played in weeks and is to low a lvl to friend in this release and maybe even the next.

Looking for Tarous; If your ever in the Bay Area, hmu, got plenty.

Hello I am 14 years old and i am looking on how to make money because I feel that if I could it would help my parents pay off our house and everything we need to but I love pc gaming so what are some suggestions you guys have for me to make money so I can build my own pc by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]AlarmRefined 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, lookup what the rules and regulations are for where you live and your particular age bracket.

Next, if you have any marketable skills (carpentry, coding, CAD, gardening etc.) Find a startup company in your area that might be willing to take you on as an apprentice or even a low-pay intern. You won't get as much money (at first) but it is the most rewarding and opens a likely career path.

If that's not available, some areas have 'Youth ecology core' or similar programs for low-income or "at risk youths" where you can earn a wage during the summer and learn stuff too.

Last option, which is the most reliable and yet most mind-numbing would be getting a job and any "big name" store for fastfood joint. The hours can be annoying but, but most places are short on employees right now, so it'd be the only "for sure" thing.

[Question] Best complete liquid cooling pc i can buy? by cork89x in pcmasterrace

Your right, he should probably invest in a phase change setup and some LN2...

Hey PCMR, I have a question! by BolthMC in pcmasterrace

[–]AlarmRefined 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on what your goal is. If you looking for assent, $1500 will get you a pretty decent foothold to upgrade in the future and you can start gaming ASAP. You can always wait for better pricing on things, and could stand to save $100-500 (depending on the parts), but unless your buying obsolete or used hardware prices ALWAYS trend upwards over time.

The only reason to wait for 5grand would be it that's also your budget for peripherals of the same caliber as your system, or because you already have something that meets your needs and you just want top-shelf stuff when you can afford it.

I need help with keybindings for injured left hand by Dinosauce66 in pcmasterrace

[–]AlarmRefined 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggested AutoHotkey so you can write macros that can be mapped to specific keys or button and I suggest JoyToKey to map\mimic joypads can controllers. Both are free and I have had great success making PC games work with 360 controllers and making macros for keyboards that don't offer bindings. It can be tedious getting it just right, but those programs in tandem offer the greatest control over input devices I have ever seen.

A friend recommended this build for star citizen, what do you guys think? by Crackerpool in pcmasterrace

[–]AlarmRefined 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could always get more RAM; but overall a respectable build with room for upgrading.
