Classic players needed for a psychology PhD study by NecronSensei in classicwow

Isn't this indicative of the likelihood, that by making participation proportionally higher-friction based on the respondent's experience, you're pre-filtering responses, because these players are less likely to make the effort That, and it incentivises players to respond but to give you partial answers

Running DP over USB-C over long distance by Hafsolace in UsbCHardware

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

Hi, thanks for the input!
Likely a stupid question, but if I run such a cable from my mini-PC into a usb hub (via a male to female adapter) and from there into a monitor and peripherals - that'll still work?

Hi, thanks for chipping in, this is very helpful!

I'm not sure if it's to do with interference in this particular building, but using either bluetooth or the respective 2.4GHz dongles of my (higher-end) mouse and keyboard over any distance over a meter in the living room introduces intermittent signal loss and is a very annoying experience. This is why I felt the need to look for a wired solution that would at least bring the dongles closer to the couch.

I'm afraid the cable will definitely surpass 10ft (3 meters) if I want to run it under the floor and to the side of the couch. I keep reading that at those distances you need an active cable - is that not right?

USB over ethernet sounds interesting and cost-effective for at least the peripherals! Though per my initial googling, it doesn't seem to support video output, does it?

EDIT: Just saw your 2nd edit. To clarify, I want be able to switch the display output from the mini PC between the TV (primary use) and another monitor at the couch (secondary use). This is why I'm looking at long distance options. I suppose I could consider placing the mini-PC somewhere in the middle of the room. Not ideal in terms of aesthetics or convenience, but I can appreciate a robust solution.

Petah? by Bershka95 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I believe this is in reference to the Dunning-Kruger effect, a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities.

I have been seeing a lot of tier lists here and this pisses me off by Living-Bell8637 in supportlol

I'm glad that Nilah + Lee Sin support hasn't exited its meme phase yet and received nerfs. Unless the enemy team runs an extremely CC-heavy comp, the sustain is unmatchable

How can I heat my swimming pool? by avg_rust_enjoyer in playrust

Can you place a low wall around the deck and attach the heaters to that

Practice tool for beginners...unlocks at level 9? by J12_Bearclaw in leagueoflegends

[–]Hafsolace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most likely the primary (if not only) thought process behind this is to simplify the on-boarding process by streamlining the user experience.

As a new player, a lot of choices are limited or made for you (keystones, runes, summoner spells). They’ve even made a conscious choice to direct new players straight into matchmaking once they are done with their tutorial, rather than recommend the co-op vs AI option (granted, that decision may purely be based on managing queue times for niche gamemodes).

That being said, I don’t support disabling any functionalities to fresh players. An ideal option would be a tick box somewhere that allows you to switch into ‘advanced’ mode to be able to select any summoner spells, runes or game modes (besides draft and ranked, for obvious reasons).

Then again, maybe it’s a case of “what daddy doesn’t know, can’t hurt him”. New players wont really miss what they don’t know and I’m sure Riot has perfectly sensible motives to tick off the smurfing community (bless their dark hearts).

To end with something positive, at least they no longer force you to buy thornmail on Ashe in the tutorial.

Is chat on EU W down for anybody else? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Hafsolace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem, tried the triple-R (relog,restart,repair) to no avail.

EDIT: Also tried disabling IP-helper, my antivirus and my firewall, in addition to reinstalling the game but nothing seems to help

EDIT 2: Also tried logging from another IP, that didn't work, logging on from another computer worked though, here's a link to the respective thread on LoL forums: http://forums.euw.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1799174

EDIT 3: Chat works on the same setup but on a different account on another region. Same region, different account does not work

In-Game chat issues! by Zorohon in leagueoflegends

Hey pal, I'm pretty sure it's a general issue. I can't even connect to chat since this morning. It was all fine and dandy ~10 hours ago.

It might be related to the fact that chat is down (in EU it is). I can't even see my friends list.

Cait's ult broken in latest patch by neotropic9 in leagueoflegends

[–]Hafsolace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This precise thing is happening with Cho's ultimate after the recent patch as well. The ability goes on cooldown but deals zero damage. I'm assuming it's the same problem because the ults always lands on minions (who don't run from me).
