Why do we use this case here? And this verb? What rule should I use here?

Hi everyone!

Could you explain the difference between these words, please: ничего and нечего, also никогда and некогда. They all seem the same to me.

Thank you! Большое спасибо!

me and a few friends have been playing some lagshot lately and everyone said is was weird.
so is there really a difference between 0.3x and 0.3z lagshot?

They are used differently. I have nothing to do - Mne nechego delat. There is nothing I can do for you - I nichego ne mogu sdelat dlya Vas.
Plus 'nechego' (the first syllable is stressed) is used in set expressions and phrases: Nechego bylo pytatsya (You should not even bother).
I nichego ne znayu (I know nothing). Nechego mne govorit chto ya nichego ne znayu (You shouldn't bother telling me that I know nothing).
Nikto - nobody
Nekto (the first syllable is stressed) - somebody
