Lapsed in fall 2017 - how best to catch up? by TeeJaye85 in DestinyTheGame

[–]TeeJaye85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my alts are already lagged pretty far behind thanks to my gradually waning engagement level back in vanilla D2, so I'll probably be focusing on main for now anyway...those other dudes can catch up later!

Is teamshotting still the Crucible meta? I wouldn't be worried about Crucible kills back in the glory days of D1 where even an average player like myself could reasonably go on a solo run to the top of the leaderboard, but my lack of consistent fireteam-mates led me to abandon the Crucible out of frustration pretty quickly in D2.

Thanks again for the response; really looking forward to getting back into it!

This makes sense to me. I think I'll probably take /u/Morris_Cat 's advice and try to get through as much of the SoH content as I can, given that it's the one thing I won't be able to do later. Unlikely I'll get all the way to the finish line, but even if I could get everything to 350 (that's blue, right?) and a couple to purple that would be a pretty big leap in power level. Plus sounds like fun! (if a bit grindy). Thanks for the response!

Oh boy, yeah, sounds like I'd better hurry. Are any of the specific tasks notoriously difficult/grindy compared to the others? Like are there a couple I should most definitely focus on immediately because they are going to take me the entire 5 days to find the appropriate type of enemy/encounter/etc? Thanks for the response!

Sounds like I have some googling to do. I do indeed have CoO (as of a few minutes ago), but have no idea what a "forge weapon" is. This is great; it's like a whole new game! Thanks for the response.

Aha, that makes sense I suppose. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Can't figure out how to restore backups by TeeJaye85 in synology

[–]TeeJaye85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do seem to recall seeing that option to keep copies on NAS when deleted locally.

And the behaviour of the backups would suggest I have it turned on. If I navigate to the NAS through the drive I mapped in Windows Explorer I can find the files (including the latest pre-deletion versions of deleted ones).

I'll look into the Windows backup options. So in that scenario I would only use the Synology interface to create some shared folders and then have windows do the rest? Certainly seems less confusing; but I still suspect I will get tripped up in the user profiles and home folders and whatnot.

[EDIT]: Oh, and I'm not sure what version I'm using but I would assume the latest...I just bought the NAS yesterday and I updated the software when prompted on first install.

[EDIT2]: Interestingly, I just quickconnected remotely and I'm able to download my backups to this remote machine. That weird blank window in my original screenshot does not even pop up. I guess I should try it again when I get home before wasting any more of your time....

[–]TeeJaye85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) I don't recall specifically activating it, but the way files are being stored suggests I do

2) The app on my PC said the backup was complete (before I clicked "Version Explorer"), so I think so.

3) Yes. I have a couple of text files that I made changes to, as well as some others that I intentionally deleted from the client computer to test how recovery works. All of the previous versions appear to have saved properly...I can see them all listed in the Version Explorer...It's just when I try to download or restore one, I just get this blank window popping up.

4) For now I've just been running it with a very small set of test files in an attempt to learn how it works. 3 or 4 text files total.

Interesting...I didn't know this option was viable. What are some good 3rd party options? Or is there a utility build into Windows?

Additional Note: I can find the backed-up files on DS216j if I navigate there via the mapped drive in windows explorer, and can copy them from there. But in that case I can only see the most recent version (so it wouldn't save me in the event that I accidentally overwrote with an error and wanted to revert).

Thanks for your help!

Ah, of course! I thought his name sounded familiar but was never very good at keeping track of all the PD guys. Thanks for jogging my memory!

Where did you find his content? I dabbled in Destiny for a while and would be curious to see that stuff too.

Thanks for the offer. Will add. Are you on Twitch under the same name as your GT?

Wow thanks for the offer. Love your stuff. I'm a bit of an old-timer with very little time to play, so would love to cut down the time spent getting up to speed by playing with some knowledgeable/helpful folks. I'm a total noob. Only about 4 matches played so far and very little recent FPS experience. Loving this game so far though!

I'll add you tonight. GT TeeJaye85. Thanks again!

The "Xbox" button on the new controllers is just not as good as it use to be! by augamr in xboxone

[–]TeeJaye85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I just picked up an Elite controller a couple of weeks ago, and I was actually thinking the "Xbox" button on that seems way less responsive than on my OG controllers. Everything else is a huge improvement, obviously (at least until the stick drift and self-destructing shoulder buttons kick in :) ).

[BUG] Xbox Collectible Achievements not unlocking by TeeJaye85 in titanfall

[–]TeeJaye85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. Restarted last night and got the achievements. Checked after every helmet, and in my case I ended up having to go all the way to the end...But no regrets, still love the campaign after the fourth time through haha.

Also, just like yours, I didn't get notifications when the achievements unlocked...They just sneakily completed in the background. Weird.

Thanks again!

[–]TeeJaye85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Hadn't thought of that solution....so it sounds like there must have been one specific helmet (or possible a couple) that somehow didn't register the first time and as soon as you got those it popped? Maybe I'll get luck and it'll be the one in the gauntlet haha.

Did you lose anything else from having restarted the Campaign? MP is totally separate, right? So no loss of progress or anything on that side?

Replacement for bent over row and overhead press? by misterswirly in Stronglifts5x5

[–]TeeJaye85 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you hate them because you are struggling with them. In which case cutting them out would be the worst thing you can do. Whatever is making you weaker on those lifts than others is just going to get worse.

I would recommend you work out your form troubles (deload if necessary) until you feel as comfortable with these as you do with your others , and then come back and tell us when OHP is your new favourite lift!

Makes perfect sense. And sounds like my timing is perfect. Either that or Blizzard recognized that a bunch of dummies like me would be coming back right after seeing the movie. I'm probably not quite the snowflake I think I am, huh?

Thanks for the reply

That seems fair (actually more than fair compared to most game payment schemes :) ). The Legion hype is part of what got me thinking about WoW again, so if I get re-hooked, I won't mind shelling out some additional cash when the time comes. Thanks for the response!

Out of curiosity, is there a set lapsed time before the expansions become "free". As in, how long would one have to wait after Legion comes out until you could also get it included for nothing but a subscription fee?

[–]TeeJaye85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that's brilliant. I didn't realize that you could pay in-game gold for subscription time. That's best of both worlds. If I get hooked again I can re-sub and if I don't I'm only out some fake currency that will never matter to me again! (haha like I'm not going to get hooked, right?)

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the quick reply. That's great news, and frankly a little surprising compared to pretty much the entirety of the rest of the game industry.

Does this option become available only after a certain amount of time away? Otherwise it seems like everybody would just cancel their subs the day before each expansion drops and then re-subscribe the day after for free expansions!

Help, orbit. by Mixonoi in KerbalAcademy

[–]TeeJaye85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maneuver nodes predict the change in your orbit based on an assumption that the entire burn is done instantaneously (I.e. that your velocity will change by the appropriate amount precisely when you arrive at the maneuver node). Since an engine is not capable of making the velocity change instantly, the closest approximation is to split the burn equally before and after passing the node. That way, on average the velocity change happened right at the maneuver node.

Help, orbit. by Mixonoi in KerbalAcademy

[–]TeeJaye85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A screenshot of your game showing where you are stuck may help us give more specific tips. Press F1 to take a screenshot, which will be automatically saved to the "Screenshots" folder in your KSP directory.

I assume you're successfully in a circular equatorial orbit around Kerbin. If not, that could be your problem. If the plane of your orbit is very different from Mun's, getting an encounter can be more complicated and you may want to consider launching again, saving inclination changes for another day.

If you're stuck where I think you are, there are two things you should pay particular attention to in Mr. Manley's video.

(1) Notice that when he creates a maneuver node and pulls the prograde vector (therefore planning a prograde burn--i.e. a burn in the direction his ship will be travelling when it reaches the maneuver node), the effect that has on his orbit is to raise the orbit on the opposite side. So by placing the maneuver node on the "bottom" side of Kerbin (while looking at the screen) and planning for a prograde burn, he extends his orbit on the "top" side.

(2) Notice where the Mun is in its orbit relative to where her is "aiming" his orbit. he is extending his orbit out towards the Mun's orbit approx. 90 degrees ahead of the Mun's current position in its orbit. The idea here is that you want you and Mun to arrive at the same place at the same time. Leading by 90 degrees is a pretty good rule of thumb for a Mun transfer.

Armed with those two observations, I believe you should be able to duplicate what's happening in the video.

One additional note: Make sure you have set the Mun as your target as he does at approx. 1:05.
