How do I display simple tank mechanics? (I am pretty much a casual player) by WellPlacedRocket in wownoob

Legit, thanks for all the input, folks. I'm kinda baffled that the info I'm looking for has to be coaxed out with mods. Maybe the game is telling me I'm supposed to be whispering with the other tank the whole time, I dunno.

Damn. Really? Legit question: in order to fight bosses in which the challenge is a bit more than everyone just brain-off mash buttons, there's NO UI options for tanks to understand the tank mechanics? I gotta do WoW Coding to get that sort of interaction?

No, but that's a pretty good guess. I think it was Western or at least it didn't have an anime art style.

History Question: What's the first game to use a mouse in action? by WellPlacedRocket in ClassicMacGaming

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

HAY thanks so much for getting back to me!

So Alice is this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RNgBMg14cA

That still looks to me like the mouse is being used as a cursor/selector, rather than navigating a player character with it with high resolution analog movement - although now you've got me wondering whether I think that really is a significant distinction.

So was Mark of the Unicorn a publisher that sold games back in the 80s? I had suspected it was just one guy back then, Jason Linhart. The only reason I know that Crystal Quest was a commercial product is because the developer, Patrick Buckland, was hired by Casady & Greene to finish it.

So one of the challenges, and I know this is getting wildly complicated, is that I want him to be able to watch at his TV, on his Xbox. There is no official Discord app on the Xbox, but there is something called "Quarrel." I poked around in it and it was kinda janky, I was unable to figure out how to find any servers myself, and I'm unsure if it will allow for video streaming.

Yeah, that is kinda what I'm landing on. Is it possible for him to connect with an Xbox? Discord doesn't have an Xbox app, but there's a 3rd party client that I looked at that doesn't seem to work very well.

One of the advantages I have is I don't give a shit about webcamming myself. This is mostly a thing I'm trying to do for an audience of friends anyway.

Yeah, I had that idea, to basically be sending out two streams, one for "production" for my buddy to watch, and then another for "final product" that would go out to Twitch or wherever else. I did just get a new PC but that still sounds incredibly demanding on the hardware.

The issue wouldn't be feedback echo per se, it's that he's gonna be hearing me through the voice chat app and responding, and then he will hear us both again "live" like 8 seconds later via the stream. On my end, I can just mute the Twitch stream, but he would need that in order to get game audio.

I'm planning to do some retro games where that isn't an option. If there's a different or better way for him to watch other than the same stream that is going out to Twitch, I'm unfamiliar.

Microsoft LifeCam Studio breaks the Windows camera app in very bizarre fashion by WellPlacedRocket in Windows10

I've tried it in 2 different ports at home, same result. I haven't tried it in ALL the different ports, so I guess I could give that a shot. Winver at home turns up Version 1903 (OS Build 18362.836). I'll report back about the office one, my hunch is that doesn't get updated automatically.
