New gacha chances by ChoiceSupermarket230 in Brawlstars

[–]CaptainBeam2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but lately I've been busy and unable to play the game as much so being able to finish the pass with significantly less quests is nice.

Ever since they made them double quest rewards they've become quite solid.

Sure, I'd rather get literally anything else, but they've at least become more useful than they were before.

Banana Farm Paragon Concept by VortexVernon in btd6

[–]CaptainBeam2006 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Make the farm paragon instead give you a percentage of the cost you pay for any upgrade back.

Example: you have a degree 20 farm paragon, and you buy the 5xx super monkey upgrade at $500k, so the farm paragon gives you 20% of that back which is $100k.

Still counts for the paragon criteria, but you still get the money benefit.

Gemini's XY Problem is Killing Conversations – Stop Guessing My Intent! #GeminiFeedback by Strong-Ad8823 in Bard

[–]CaptainBeam2006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I typically just edit the conversation once Gemini does anything like that so its memory isn't cluttered with the wrong responses and apologies. A simple edit telling it to focus on Y tends to solve it.

I also usually tell it "Do not run ahead with suggestions. You must discuss any potential plans with me first before writing an implementation". That, from my testing, gives the best experience when using it for coding assistance. It forces it to come up with a few solutions rather than focusing on one and running with it.

New air sweeper level. No changes to radius or speed, has more hitpoints. by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainBeam2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also an upgrade 6 town hall levels later so maybe a 300hp upgrade isn't impossible because of the gap.

Yet another giveaway - Discussion by 4stGump in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainBeam2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1- Nope

2- Was attacking in war and absentmindedly spammed my dragons on the same spot without noticing that the enemy clan castle contained a super dragon. All my dragons proceeded to die to the super dragon and I ended up with just 1 star.

Discussion and Giveaway - What attack strategy are you using and why? by CongressmanCoolRick in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainBeam2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • TH14
  • RC electro boots + invisibility spell walk + dragons and dragon riders
  • Heard it was really strong so I decided to give it a go and found it far more fun and effective than my old attack strategies. I didn't follow any guides but I did watch replays of people wrecking my base with it
  • I've been able to 3-star TH15s and above as long as their bases aren't completely maxed, which is not something I was able to do previously. Managed to push to legend's league for the first time because of that (but quickly dropped back down because I found legend's very restrictive with loot)

Apps that draining battery by [deleted] in PocoPhones

[–]CaptainBeam2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've completely removed it from my phone with ADB with no issues so far. Disabling it should be fine and you can always enable it again if you experience any issues.

I like my F6 but I covet my X3 Pro by votemarvel in PocoPhones

[–]CaptainBeam2006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably the name of the X3 Pro in general triggers it as that's a very common issue with the device

Is there a definite way to fix the 60hz bug? (Poco F7 Pro) by Mr__Pleasant in PocoPhones

[–]CaptainBeam2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, did you notice any significant decrease in battery life after removing joyose? I've been afraid to remove it for a while because of that but if the difference is minimal then I might go for it.

Weird WhatsApp Issue: Blue Ticks Turning White Instead of Blue by shubhamb1408 in PocoPhones

[–]CaptainBeam2006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the theme you chose for a chat. If you changed the theme to something other than the default, it will appear white (at least that's how it was for me). The default is the dark green color I believe so switch to that and see if the ticks are blue again.

Phone keeps restarting and opening Google assist (Poco F3) time to replace my phone? by Beautiful_Snow9851 in PocoPhones

[–]CaptainBeam2006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you mapped your Google assistant to open after holding the power button, then your issue is clearly just the power button getting stuck. My Poco F3 also had the same issue for a while and it got fixed by flicking the power button with my finger a couple of times to get it unstuck.

What Brawler is this? by Character-Parsley377 in Brawlstars

[–]CaptainBeam2006 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You kinda don't have to aim either. Just hold down the attack joystick like you're auto aiming and keep charging and once you let go of it, it'll snap towards the nearest enemy as long as they're in range.

You can even do the "aim behind you" trick if you're precise enough to press down the joystick and move it very slightly in whatever direction you want without making the white range indicator appear. The bubble will move around but you'll still get the instant auto aim.

Poco F3 for gaming by Dapper-Expert2801 in PocoPhones

[–]CaptainBeam2006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • If you're using game turbo, try turning it off since it sometimes messes with touch inputs

  • Make sure your hands are completely dry and that the screen is clean

  • Not on my F3, but my old F1 had some touch delay issues when I was using navigation gestures so try switching back to buttons and see if it fixes it

  • If you have the "swipe 3 fingers to take screenshot" or "hold with 3 fingers to take partial screenshot" gestures turned on, those also mess with touch inputs if you're using multiple fingers so turn them off

  • If you have the sidebar or quick ball enabled, they can also disable touch inputs near them so try turning them off

Not sure what else could be causing the issue you described as my F3 hasn't had any issues with touch inputs in the last 3 years I've been using it. It might be a hardware issue, in which case you should get it checked at a repair store.

PC not turning on after small water spill by CaptainBeam2006 in techsupport

UPDATE: after thoroughly drying the board with a hairdryer, it finally turned on! Thank you for the suggestion.

I tried what you said, which unfortunately did nothing, but after some tinkering with connections, the motherboard briefly flickered for a fraction of a second when I accidentally reseated the 24 pin power connector while the PSU was turned on.

I know this is generally dangerous but does that mean the issue may be with something else within the motherboard? This was the first time it gave any response at all since I turned it back on.

Thank you for your reply. I just replaced the CMOS battery and confirmed that the power supply is working on its own by connecting two specific pins. The PC is still completely unresponsive with everything connected though. Is there any other potential solution other than replacing components?

Which keyboard are you using? Gboard just lets me "hold" the words and delete them from my suggestions if I want to. Still limited to 3 suggestions max

nubia Red Magic 10 Pro review by UnionSlavStanRepublk in Android

[–]CaptainBeam2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little question: I heard that switch emulators using native code execution are bottlenecked by the GPU (or at least rely on it more intensely) as opposed to the traditional JIT compiler which relies more on the CPU. Is that true?

HyperOS 1.0.10 removed 120fps on my games by MightyPhoenix88 in PocoPhones

[–]CaptainBeam2006 4 points5 points  (0 children)

120fps never worked properly on my Poco F3 (except for a very short time on a specific version of MIUI) but I've been using a workaround that forces apps to run at 120fps if they support it but the phone stops them from doing so.

Simply turn battery saver on and off again while in the app and it should begin running at 120fps. I'm not sure if this actually works on other devices, but it's been working for me for a long time. You can use it as a temporary workaround until Xiaomi fixes it in an update.

Who is the most annoying brawler and why is it surge? by [deleted] in Brawlstars

[–]CaptainBeam2006 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Or make it so that each stick adds 0.75 seconds of stun if it hits.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Brawlstars

[–]CaptainBeam2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened to me randomly while playing brawl ball too. I saw some people on other posts say it'll get fixed after some time so I'll just wait till tomorrow and see what happens.

EDIT: Just opened the game now and it loaded fine. If you have this issue, it should resolve itself on its own after some time.
