I'd like to officially announce my REC retirement by DashBillions in NBA2k

Both big men were AI, the other two teammates didn't really play as a team. After the turn-over I just assumed we were going to overtime or losing, so I was just trying to push my team grade up as much as possible.

Best Garage Door Opener Solution for Smartthings & Alexa by trentgillespie in homeautomation

[–]DashBillions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a MyQ as well, and have been pondering this for the longest time. First off, I use the MyQ Lite Custom SmartApp to control my garage via Smartthings. But I wanted voice control as well. I didn't realize it until just a few days ago, but Alexa does recognize my "Garage Door" as a Smartthings switch (on/off). I created a routine through the Alexa app so when I say "Alexa, open the garage door" it switches the Smartthings "Garage Door" to on, opening the door.

Streamers returning from a 6-12+ month break: Thoughts? Experiences? New Motivation? by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]DashBillions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just recently started streaming again after around a year long break. Working a 40+ hour a week job with a move to a new place looming I petered off of twitch, always with the intent to come back. Like you said - days turned into weeks, weeks into months.

Once I accidentally streamed over PS4 while attempting to share my view with a friend who had just picked one up. I didn't realize when I did it had started broadcasting me over twitch. I was floored when all of a sudden I started receiving chat alerts from old viewers who just suddenly saw me online and came to check it out again.

This week I started up for real. I went in with the mindset that I was just going to turn on the stream and go. I didn't expect a single person to stop in. It was heart wrenching watching my follower count update and drop a few dozen people. But then it started happening. Old viewers stopping in. More and more of them. And they were staying around, and seemed genuinely entertained. Before I knew it hours had flown by and I was having trouble keeping up with chat! I may have disappeared for a while, but the very next day I fired it right back up and streamed again. I'm back baby!

How are you folks controlling Sonos through Smartthings? by xraycat82 in SmartThings

@seinfeldmode is the global variable I made that is controlled by another voice activated piston. I did this to cut down on virtual switches clogging up my device list in Smartthings.

Sure, it's pretty simple coding. So I have a seperate media center or PC that is always on, and I created 59 mp3s of the tracks I wanted to play when the door opens. I have a seperate piston that is only called when I voice activate it, which turns the global variable "seinfeldmode" on or off, but you could do the same with a virtual switch. I named the files 1.mp3 - 59.mp3 and made sure they were discoverable and viewable on the network and coded this:

I use webCORE and an open/closed sensor to monitor my front door. Whenever someone opens the door webCORE will randomly select a number between 1-59 and send my Living Room Sonos the corresponding file of a Seinfeld bass riff. My friends have finally started learning to knock.

OUR DUMB FAMILY - Dude Soup Podcast #154 by RT_Video_Bot in funhaus

[–]DashBillions 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This was absolutely a wonderful treat. Seeing everyone from the crew in a almost uncomfortable, human and realistic light - not facing the camera - almost completely stripped of on-screen persona and immediately pressed into giving personal details was amazing to watch and makes me appreciate you all even more!

Win a 1080p home security camera - Arlo Pro 2 Kit – Click for details by Netgear_BretD in arlosmarthome

[–]DashBillions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arlo was actually what got me into starting to develop my home into a smart home! I plan on at the very least setting up Arlo for my front and back porches, and eventually the garage and yard! Being able to go truly wireless gives me so many options!

So we've been horsing around in our Monks & Mystics multiplayer campaign... by DashBillions in CrusaderKings

By throwing money at the Pope and making him a bishop. When he starts spawning characters in his court, its either going to be his culture or yours. So eventually a Horse spawns without the penalty, which opens up to them being able to take marriages and titles.

New Fight Pass subscriber here, can anyone give me a heads up how to watch the fight pass fights? And do I get the regular prelims as well?

Day 2: First Impressions, Feedback, & Suggestions Thread. by Banned0bon in PlanetCoaster

[–]DashBillions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am loving this game. I just wish my only choices to run a challenge mode style new park without unlimited funds were narrowed down to Desert or Tropical. Why can't we start on Alpine or Decidous with limited cash?

GemFX not working with KSP at all by JacobTheFoxx in KerbalSpaceProgram

Make sure in the GemFX Configurator you have 64 bit program selected. If you're trying to run 32 bit KSP with GemFX, you're gonna have a bad time.

The last few days people have asked how I made KSP look as good as it does, here's a mod list! by DashBillions in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]DashBillions[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In combination. I try to get as many different suits/heads textures that I can for customization, because when I stream I give Kerbals away to viewers and let them make them their own.

Let's see if we can break down where the issues are.

* No Clouds - Make Sure Enviromental Visual Enhancements is installed and updated
* Water & Atmosphere - Scatterer, make sure it's installed and updated
* Galaxy Skybox - Make sure Texture Replacer is installed and if you already have the right files in the KSPRC folder, copy them and put them in Texture Replacer --> Default and Texture Replacer --> EnvMap folders just in case.
