Arena is pointless?

I don't see any point to the arena. All opponents are stronger than me, and whenever I increase my power, even by a little, the opponents also change to stronger opponents.

Even within a few seconds of changing equipment the list upgrades. Why does this happen? What is the point of having an arena that is always stronger than you?

ELI5: what is the big difference between soap and shampoo?

We use soap to clean the body. We use shampoo to clean the hair. What stops us from using soap for the hair and shampoo for the body?

Follow up question: what is body wash that cleans hair and skin made of? Why isn’t that the universal standard instead of seperate soap and shampoo?

Stopper of infinite combos (sometimes)!

Given we're coming up to the Hobbit set. I thought this would be appropriate. Thinking of all the times abilities trigger a million times, causing infinite combos, and recurring. This might be a flavorful way to stop them. Doesn't stop all of them, but still!

ELI5: What is 'bridge mode' on a modem?

I have a wifi modem (from Bell fibre). It doesn't cover the entire house, and certainly doesn't reach the basement where I need it the most. I asked a technician what my options were, and he mentioned getting some wifi mesh devices, and then turning the modem to 'bridge' mode.

I have a basic understanding of wifi. The modem turns the wired signal into wireless. I understand that if I just plug in another wifi emitter, it makes a separate wifi network. So what exactly is bridge mode? What does it do? Do I have other options too?

EDIT: Thank you all for your input! Everyone's so helpful! Obviously there are many follow up questions, which I'll ask in comments :) Thank you!

Best way to increase Wifi range?

Hello all! Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'll give it a go!

I have a wifi router on the main floor, but its signal can't reach the basement. Broadly speaking how should I get internet downstairs? Is it better to use a signal booster on the main floor? or run a wire downstairs to put the booster there?

Toxic Skin Jaguar Option - Increased Radius?

Quick question with probably an obvious answer... what is increasing the radius of my Toxic Skin ability? Normally it's just a small circle around my character, but it somehow is 3x the radius occasionally when I'm doing war plans. Is there sometime obvious I'm missing?

I have a eagle/gorilla spirit hall, with the skills shown above. None of my items mention toxic skin. My seal and charms are all set charms, again nothing mentioning toxic skin.

What to do with: Ancestral Magic and Rare Items

Hello all! Sorry to bother folks. I'm new-ish to the end-game content. I have a basic understanding of socketing good ancestral rares and uniques, adjusting them with aspects and tempering, and then upgrading with with masterworking. So far I've gotten to Torment VII, with unique and legendary items.

I have a stash tab full of ancestral magic and rare items, but what do I do with them? Are they worth trying to build up to legendaries? Or should I salvage them? Thanks in advance for the advice!

I have a weird issue with a portable monitor. It is a WP-P156A02 that has worked well for many years. I use it as a secondary monitor at work for small games and time wasting.

The monitor is now stuck like a permanent screenshot of its last functional moment, which happens to be of a game. Hitting the windows key brings up the taskbar on my main screen, but not the portable. Oddly, I can mouse through the monitor screen and see the cursor on it move, but I can't click or right click anything. While on the second monitor I can't right click anything. If I drag a window onto the second monitor, I cannot see it, the monitor remains locked to the 'screenshot' of the game. The window does exist IN the computer's second display, since I can drag it back to the main monitor, but I just can't see/do anything on the second monitor.

If I try to use the screen clip to take a picture of the second monitor, it can capture the working background and windows that I SHOULD be able to see. Basically the computer thinks the second monitor is a functioning display, allowing the mouse to move there, but the monitor doesn't let me see anything under the fixed image!

I unplugged it for 24 hours, and it still came up with the same image, factory reset in the native menu does nothing. I'm stumped!

Hello all! I'm new to arcade emulation! I've been doing some reading on it, and it seems a good basic starting point is using an old PC (Optiplex) and Batocera. So far, I think I understand the process. Batocera is the operating system, and you can add games via USB. The controllers and screen are peripherals. Dumb question time:

  1. Can I install Batocera onto a blank PC without an existing OS, or does it need a basic OS first before I install Batocera?
  2. Does Batocera use only the controller for interface, or can it also use a keyboard and mouse?
  3. How much RAM is sufficient for up to PS2 games? My Optiplex has 8 gb Ram DDR3. Is that sufficient?
  4. Where do most folks go to find ROMs of old arcade games?

I recently got to look in my house’s attic, and it’s a big pile of loose fluff distributed around the attic. In contrast, my unfinished basement has fibrous wool-like stuffing held behind plastic sheets. In some areas it’s spray foam. Why is the attic different? Wouldn’t it make more space if the insulation was lining the inside of the roof/walls, and I could have an extra attic space?
