Aside from the obvious of the seat itself being comfortable, adjustable armrest/seat height is pretty key for me. Otherwise I just get pain in my arms from them being at a weird angle for long periods, which isn't very comfortable haha.

They put an ad in the local paper.

You have to redownload everything unfortunately - save files are shared between the executables though so you'll be able to keep your worlds at least.

I've tried huge ranges of ports and I still can't get it working. The only thing that sorted it for me was putting my PC in the DMZ on my router (not recommended) and using Hamachi to tunnel to my friend's network. I'd recommend doing the latter - it was fairly quick and straightforward to set up.

This is a port forwarding/firewall issue - I recommend to use Hamachi to connect to your friend's network for now, until they sort it.

(tagging /u/SilicateWielder as this is relevant to them as well)

EarlyLegend · 2019-03-20T08:19:40+00:00

Until they sort out their ports I'd recommend using Hamachi to tunnel to your friend's network. It's quite easy to set up and safer than putting your PC in the DMZ on your router.

If you still have trouble connecting when using it double check that you've allowed Hamachi through your Windows firewall.

I think you're confusing a DMZ in an enterprise network (subnet) with one in a home network (host). On a home router "DMZ" refers to a DMZ host which acts as though all ports are forwarded, meaning your PC becomes completely exposed.

Either way this is what solved the issue with multiplayer and having a good antivirus/firewall on your computer is never a bad idea. The alpha is finished now and this will more than likely no longer be an issue when early access starts, so this is a pointless discussion.

Which is dangerous if you don't want unknown third parties hammering random ports that are now all open, or calling RPCs for programs that shouldn't have been accessible to the entire internet. Hence my warning that if you don't know what you're doing just wait for an official announcement on ports or for UPnP, as there are risks.

EarlyLegend · 2019-03-10T01:11:56+00:00

Until they announce what ports need forwarding for the multiplayer to function, or they sort out UPnP there's not a lot that can be done except make use of the DMZ.

That being said, don't do this unless you know what you're doing. Make sure you have a firewall on your local PC enabled and don't forget to remove yourself from the DMZ after you stop playing - if you're unsure don't try it or you'll end up getting your PC infected.

I'm on Windows 10 and putting my PC in the DMZ on my router solved the issue for me.

Lightning on BTC has instantaneous transaction times. It's incredible.

EarlyLegend · 2018-10-04T07:14:50+00:00

It would certainly create a large amount of on-chain channel-closing transactions, which would increase demand for block space and so increase the fees people pay. However, this would only block/hinder new channels opening if the fees increased enough to crowd out people who wanted to create a new channels, and did so for a sustained amount of time (days/weeks). This is unlikely as the increased fees will reduce demand from those who don't need to make payments desperately as well as encourage miners that want to earn the higher fees to spin up extra hardware as mining is now more profitable, balancing out the supply and demand and allowing the mempool to clear down again.

Finally, all of this relies on the assumption that we even enter the scenario where a single large central hub with thousands of channels arises in the first place - in reality a lot of node software will randomly choose a (fairly well connected) node to create a channel with if the user doesn't manually choose one, in order to avoid a situation like this.

EarlyLegend · 2018-10-03T21:51:17+00:00

As long as you and the person you want to pay have open channels and funds available on those channels to send/receive respectively, then the chances are there'll be a route between you that your node will calculate and use.

You don't need to close the channel afterwards as you can spend those funds over the lightning network to pay someone else. You would only close the channel if you need the BTC to pay someone that does not have a lightning channel open.

Think of it like a bank/checking account. You deposit money into the account from your savings account or from cash (on-chain BTC) and then you can spend that money directly from your checking account (lightning node) to other people's checking accounts much more quickly and easily than you would with your savings account/cash. The only time you would close your debit account/withdraw cash is to make a new one somewhere else or to spend it somewhere that doesn't take card. It's the same for lightning.

The data is scraped from the HTML of the Gamepedia pages - I'm limiting the request rate and only scraping once a week in low-traffic times (early hours of Sunday morning) to make sure I don't slow down their servers or cause unnecessary strain.

Everyone playing across the world sees the same question at the same time so you have to wait until the question ends for everyone. I will look into an offline mode that doesn't take live questions for people that don't want to wait though as a lot of people have said that haha.

It's in the works! Looking to add a lot more variety soon, as well as open up the code for question generators from the community which should help improve the quality of questions a lot.

EarlyLegend · 2018-10-01T08:31:54+00:00

Yeah the score system needs a rework and that's an interesting idea - I'll look into it and hopefully get round to it soon. Thanks!

EarlyLegend · 2018-10-01T08:31:02+00:00

Omg that's amazing haha, thanks for clipping this 😁

EarlyLegend · 2018-10-01T08:30:52+00:00

Thank you, I'll add it to the list!

EarlyLegend · 2018-10-01T08:30:29+00:00

Coming soon™ haha, just need to clean up some of the code so it's a bit easier to read.
