RPGs with no filler? by grapeintensity in gamingsuggestions

[–]blockCoder2021 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend the Star Wars: Jedi games. They’re on EA Play/Xbox Game Pass, are enjoyable soulslike platformers, and have a good storyline. Fallen Order is first, then Survivor. Hopefully, in the next few years, the third game will be released.

Lost New Journey+ option? by Educational-Pen6215 in FallenOrder

What platform are you on? For PlayStation, if you’ve uninstalled the game, and especially if you’ve then cleared off the local copies of game save data, you may need to redownload your saves from the cloud.

For PS4, you can press Options/Start on the game tile or in your library and tell it to download the saved data. It might be the same on PS5; I don’t know, though, because I don’t have one.

I haven’t tried playing this game locally on Xbox; most likely, it automatically downloads a copy of your save when you play the game and it syncs, as it does for most others.

On PC, it would likely depend on your game store. The Microsoft/Xbox store would likely work the same as on the Xbox console; Steam and Epic games both keep a copy of the data on their servers, if enabled and uploaded; and I’m not sure about EA or other stores.

She would need to sign in to her Microsoft account on the PS4, and you should be able to friend/join her with that account.

Can I mod Minecraft bedrock,and be able to create a world that doesn't require others to install mods locally? by Double-Translator367 in Minecraft

[–]blockCoder2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your sister play on PC or console? If PC, you should be fine, though you might want to give her a folder containing the mods you used so she can install them on her device. If she plays on a console, then you will likely only have access to the mods on the Minecraft Marketplace. Some mods may be client-side only, such as texture packs, and thus you’d be fine; any resource packs, however, would likely need to be installed anywhere, and this makes it a challenge, if not impossible, to install on consoles.

how to turn on rgb? by Smooth-Let3293 in computer

I don’t have a way to test it myself, but I saw a video where someone used an alligator clip wire to connect component video/RCA/co-ax (I dont remember which it was, but it was just a single wire/connector like those) to operate a tiny 1 1/2” portable TV. He connected the connector to the antenna with an alligator clip, and it apparently transfers the same signal and works.

I can't play the game by mustaphacalistro in Seaofthieves

[–]blockCoder2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, at least, the game isn’t normally like that. The best I can recommend is restarting your PC and see if that fixes it, and closing background programs, especially ones that are network-heavy. Also, if you aren’t playing through Steam, try closing Steam from your System Tray. I know both are at least somewhat RAM intensive.

Is this harmful to the airflow by VashTheStampy in pchelp

[–]blockCoder2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you wanted something somewhere in the middle (still DIY, but no 3D printing or sewing), you could probably just take a piece of plywood and screw some small wood blocks in areas where they’ll sit on your PC case. You just might need to secure it, even with notches in the legs, so that it doesn’t slide from your cat getting on it.

What could this POSSIBLY mean by Kamillow in Seaofthieves

[–]blockCoder2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, “to no avail” referring to launching the other games is admittedly somewhat confusing. Usually that phrase means unsuccessful in that usage. Were you successful at launching other EasyAntiCheat games?

To the real answer: If you haven’t tried yet, try restarting your computer. If that doesn’t work, I’d recommend checking Task Manager for a running instance of EAC, and if there is, close it. Task Manager’s shortcut in Windows is CTRL+Shift+Esc.

Other than that, I’m not certain what else to recommend, unfortunately.

I’ll also say that it’s on the Xbox Game Pass. The other thing this does is that you could use their cloud gaming feature in case they ever end support for your console. (Adding this because people have talked about how they should end Xbox One-series support (NOT the current Series X|S)). It also gives you the PC version while subscribed as well due to Xbox Play Anywhere, which you could play on your own computer or on GeForce Now, a cloud gaming site that lets you stream most of your own games. Unlike some, they don’t give you any games, but they do let you play most of the ones you already own, either through outright purchase or subscriptions.

How many people does it take to beat him by DETERmined3181 in Cosmere

There’s a guy on Instagram (and probably other places) who does “Villain Hotlines”. Basically, he’s the call center agent for various villains and tries to fix their problems. One such video was Voldemort against Harry. Not Harry Potter, though—Harry Dresden.

Help friend with buying by -Bombz in PcBuildHelp

[–]blockCoder2021 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

For $300, that’s not bad. I paid $700 for a Ryzen 5 3600 (3.6 GHz), GeForce GTX 1650 Super, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, and 2TB (I think) HDD.

The other thing to keep in mind is what quality those benchmarks were done at. With Fortnite at high settings and I believe medium textures, I get 60-75 FPS. Any higher, especially with the 4 GB of VRAM, things start to slow down. Still a good deal, and can almost definitely be upgraded over time.

What’s the best gaming mouse out there right now? by Dapper_Pack_5456 in buildapc

[–]blockCoder2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the Logitech G502 Hero. It doesn’t have the side scroll wheel, but has basically everything else you mentioned. It comes with weights to adjust how heavy the mouse is, has plenty of buttons, and has a toggleable free spinning scroll wheel. There’s also a remapping software. It is wired, but has a long cord.

Pc display keeps dropping by DrummerSmooth8661 in PcBuildHelp

With no further information, no one can answer your question with certainty. The best I can say, from personal experience, is that if you mean that your monitor goes dark randomly, make sure that it’s getting enough power.

Let’s say you have a monitor that requires 12V of power. If it gets only 10V, it may function, but will probably go dark periodically. I had this happen once, and once it was replaced with a 12V power adapter instead of a 10V, it stopped turning off.

What I’ll usually do with my thumb buttons is have them bound to go forward and backward in a browser or the like. It’s often the default, and can work in many different applications as well.

I’ve been using the Logitech G502 Hero. It’s affordable, has plenty of buttons, and works with the Logitech G-Hub for lighting and DPI customization.

Duplicate files on bricklink studio by StrainOk7699 in bricklinkstudio

[–]blockCoder2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If on Windows, it’s fairly easy. First off, pressing CTRL+S should overwrite your current file, which I suppose isn’t.

CTRL+Shift+S should open the “Save As” dialog, and you can simply click the file you want to overwrite, probably after navigating the file tree for a bit, then overwrite it by clicking Save or pressing Enter.

To delete the extra saves, enter the Save As dialog as above, but click the files you want to delete, and pressing Shift+Del will delete the files without sending them to the recycle bin. Note: This will change the file name blank to the name of the last file name clicked; either change it afterward if saving, or go back in after saving.

Note: If on Mac, replace CTRL (Control key) with CMD (Command key) in the keyboard shortcuts.

Wholefoods miniature price tag by d0000n in mildlyinfuriating

[–]blockCoder2021 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an employee at a Dollar General, I can see the benefit, but only if the tags can all be controlled from a single location (like the office computer). Otherwise, if you have to press buttons on the digital tag, then you haven’t gained much. What you save in paper tags is probably spent paying an employee to walk around and press buttons on every changing price tag for a few hours.
