texts: Minecraft client randomly crashes playing on a Spigot or Vanilla server

texts:
I have created 1.15.1 spigot server and managed to get some of my friends on the server. They have told me that there minecraft keeps crashing on my minecraft server with the error exeception_access_violotion. If they go and play on another server they don't get this issue at all.This doesn't happen when they join but they might just be breaking a block or fighting a mob and then the game would freeze then their game would crash I first thought this might of been a memory issue for the client so I changed the allocation of memory to 512MB on the client. I still got the same error so I don't think it is a memory issue. I don't think it is the server running out of memory either as the server only uses about half of what I've allocated it at any given time.

The server runs some datapacks with the overworld. I have removed all datapacks this didn't resolve the issue. I have also updated the graphic drivers as well it still occurred in fact I believe it made the crashes more frequent.

I have considered changing the server from spigot to a plain vanilla server from the official minecraft site since im not using any plugins and wont require them if i have datapacks. So the question is if I change the server to vanilla would this resolve the random crashes and if so why doesn't it happen with spigot and there are no server crashes or logs about this. I think the problem could also be a general connection issue to the server but this wouldn't explain why the client crashes if it is a connection issue

Update: I have changed the server to vanilla and still get the crash. However it seems to be less frequent. Here is the crash report: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p7tbji2ac5r3kht/hs_err_pid21640.log?dl=0


texts: Can I copy the StarCraft 2 DVD to install the game (is there any disc protection)?

texts:
My desktop doesn't have a disc drive so I'm planning on copying the files from the DVD to a USB key via a different computer, then copying that to my HDD and installing from there.  Before I start these long copies: Is this going to work, or does the installer do any sort of DRM check on the install media?

(I have a HotS disc, but feel free to answer for WoL as well.)


texts: How does Baby-Doll Eyes compare to Charm?

texts:
Baby-Doll Eyes is a Fairy-type move introduced in Gen. VI that reads as follows:

  The user stares at the target with its baby-doll eyes, which lowers its Attack stat. This move always goes first.

The move Charm has been changed from Normal to Fairy in Gen. VI.

  The user gazes at the target rather charmingly, making it less wary. This harshly lowers its Attack stat.

Baby-Doll Eyes is 30 PP and Charm is 20 PP.

While Charm's "harsh" status is often preferred, I'm unsure whether or not that makes it more or less advantageous than Baby-Doll Eyes's ability to always go first. How do these two moves compare to each other and in what situations would one be more advantageous than the other?

In my specific case, I have Charm already on my Eevee, which I would eventually like to evolve into a Sylveon. I only need one Fairy-type move to meet that requirement and having both of them would feel redundant. While I don't plan on doing any competitive play, both regular gameplay tips and any relevant information for competitive play (if there is any to be had) would be appreciated.


texts:
When I start up a new world of Pixelmon in Minecraft, all I have is a level 5 starter, and I'm surrounded by Pixelmon ranging from levels 10-45.  Finding a reasonable challenge is, in itself, a challenge.

Where can I go in the world to find weaker, lower-level challenges for my starter to grow and fight against?  Or am I stuck praying to find a low-level pokemon without accidentally running into a level 45?


texts:
The Terraria wiki says that:

[If there is] no more than one other NPC within 25 tiles and no more than three other NPCs (not counting the NPCs within 25 tiles) within 120 tiles, [prices are reduced to] 90%.

The happiness guide similarly says that

Conversely, they get a 10% "solitude" bonus for not having more than one NPC nearby, and having no more than three other NPCs (that is, the "roommate" doesn't count) within 120 tiles.

If true, this leads to some strange effects: it would be worse for an NPC to be within 110 tiles of four NPCs, than for that NPC to be more crowded and approach to within one tile of one NPC and keep the three others at 110 tiles. This disregards the effects of the other factors listed on that page.
Is that true? Or does the wording of the wiki need to change?

I have a simple quest, build a house with a neighbor for my tenant, house should have:

Seems easy but no matter what I build, it does not work. I have a tenant living there, so it is considered a house, but quest won't complete...

P.S. Another guy asks a house with 3 pieces of technology. Placed a fridge oven and a fan, but that won't cut it. Don't know which technology he wants...

texts: Do I have time to cruise around the galaxy?

texts:
Possible Duplicate:
  Are there any important points of no return?
  Are there time-limited objectives in the game?

In Mass Effect 2, there was a point where you had to abandon doing any more side missions and focus on the main story to avoid serious consequences where half or the entire crew of the Normandy dies if you wait too long to rescue them.

However, it was possible to do all side missions and still save everybody if you were careful to delay obtaining the Reaper IFF until all side missions were done.

With Earth under attack there is a clear sense of urgency in Mass Effect 3, so I'm wondering if I really have time to go cruising around the galaxy, or if this will have negative consequences in the final outcome.

In other words, if I want to do as many side missions as possible, do I have to be careful to avoid consequences?

texts: Which combinations are popular during which years?

texts:
I know that there are topic/genre combos that work better than others, and I know that different target audiences like certain types of games and platforms more than others. All of that is easy enough to find on the game's wiki and elsewhere.

What I can't seem to find any information on is which types of games are popular at different times of different years. I know that it can affect a game's score, but the only one I've been able to find out for sure is that a Medieval/RPG works well toward the end of Y20. I'm not sure if it's true for an extended range of time around that or just that specific moment.

Does anyone else know more about this combo timing?

texts:
Something strange has happened a few times to me. When playing COD Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer (on the PC), I would go to Find Match -> Standard playlists -> Team Deathmatch.
Most of the times it would work correctly, but sometimes I would get sent into a game of Domination or Drop Zone. When I am in such match, if I press Esc, the "pause" screen title would say
"Team Deathmatch"

but the description would say
"Capture and defend the flags. First team to 200 wins." (as seen here)

And no, my game is not pirated.

What is this and why is it happening?

Thanks in advance.


texts: Is it possible to rob Marcus a second time?

texts: After completing a main story quest, you're teleported back to Sanctuary into a room that is full of chests and other lootable boxes. The obvious thing to do is to take it all. Apparently, this room is Marcus's weapons warehouse and a door leads out into his shop. The door locks behind you and you're not able to get back into it from that side. Is it possible to enter this room again and rob Marcus of more delicious loot?

texts: House in the swamp in chapter 1, where is the key?

texts:
If you cross the river using the broken bridge you get to a swamp with one single house. There are some bandits waiting before the house. The door is locked, if you open it you get the message "key needed" which indicates that the door can be opened if you get the correct key.

I have already played through chapter 1 once, but I never found the key to this house. Is it part of some specific quest or is that a dead end that was never implemented in the final game?


texts: Syncing multiple Torchlight 2 Characters across multiple computers

texts:
As far as I know Torchlight 2 has Steam Cloud support, so you can sync your save games across multiple computers. Is it possible to play one character on one computer and an alternate character on another without syncing up? And when I do finally sync up, will my savefiles be damaged, assuming I only play each character exclusively on one computer?

The situation is that I play on two desktops, one at home and another somewhere else. My other computer sometimes has limited Internet access (I can't predict when this happens). This means that if I play ahead, I can't be sure when I can sync my progress back to home, which is a problem if I want to continue that character.

So this rules out playing the same character on both computers. But I was thinking maybe I can run an alt on my other computer so that each computer will be progressing a different character. Then I could at some point in the future sync both computers up and get both characters at home. However, I know very little about the save system so it doesn't seem immediately obvious whether this would work or not.

So, is it possible to do this without damaging my save files?

They frequently kill me with one hit and I don't seem to have anything which is an effective weapon against them. Well, there are AA turrets on some installations, but those aren't always available. Sitting in an AA turret also makes me a very easy target because I can't move.

texts: Do character associations have any in-game impact?

texts:
Having completed the game's story mode, I spend more of my time in online matches.

Ranked online matches are always team matches, where other than the character you control you choose up to two additional characters to support you in various ways during the fight.

According to the association between your character and the selected support character(s), the character selection screen displays the name of the formed group (as detailed in this faq). Characters that do not form any sensible group register as "Originals" as can be seen in the following picture:

If the player on the left were to pick Minato and Naruto, then instead of "Originals" the text would read "Father and son" (as these characters are indeed father and son).

My question is: Do these associations have any actual effect, or is this merely a novelty?


texts:

texts:
I've been eyeing the new Borderlands DLC (Claptrap's Robot Revolution), but there's one thing I'd like to know before picking it up: Does it continue the insane trend of the other DLC of putting you back at the starting point every single time you exit the game and come back?

If so it's a no-sale for me, since it ended up taking me something like 15 hours to get through the General Knoxx DLC as a direct result of this design flaw. I can typically only play for 30 minutes or so at a time, and I don't want to spend 20 of that driving back to where I was last time I left off.

If there's some reasonably dispersed respawn points throughout, however, I'll gladly play! I like the game, I just don't have time to waste on a design that artificially inflates game time by forcing me through the same areas over and over again.

The reward for completing the Citadel: Medical Supplies is either increased Medi-gel capacity or enhanced Medi-gel depending on which doctor is stationed on Normandy.

So I recently dug up a couple games: "Fable: The Lost Chapters" and "Spore". I noticed they had product keys. I'm not sure if the keys had been used, but I tried registering them on Steam. For some reason, they didn't work.

I do not know if I am suppose to include dashes or spaces, but they keys are in the following format:

texts: Is it possible to get a Game Over in Maniac Mansion by taking too long to rescue Sandy?

texts:
In the recent playthrough of Maniac Mansion done by The Game Grumps, Danny suggested that the base game, outside of meltdown timers and such, is on a timer that will result in a Game Over if it expires.

However, I was under the impression that, while most cutscenes are indeed on timers that count in real-time, and the final cutscene implies an imminent loss, that it is not possible to lose by waiting too long, and instead the game will simply "run out" of cutscenes and continue indefinitely afterward.

Which is the truth?

Do you know what might be happening?

Thanks a lot and happy gaming.

In a clan war, how is your "recommended target" determined? Also is there any significance to the numbers?

I was in a clan with no particular rules for the war and got kicked out because I only got 1 star when I attacked. But it was a difficult target (higher town hall) than my recommended . So I guess it sometimes is better to play it safe and attack the easier targets.

texts: Considering a PS4 - are all games that have a "download now" able to be downloaded?

texts:
My wife and I have a Wii and Xbox 360/kinect we are looking to trade in at gamestop along with about 20 or so games. I'd like to pick up a PS4 and Last of Us.

One of the things that I think is really appealing is the whole playstation network thing where I can download older PS1 and PS2 games, and stream PS3 games. So, how does this work? For instance if I go to the PS website and search for final fantasy, FF:IX shows up with "buy download." How do I know if that would work for a PS4 or not? I can't seem to find out if one "download" works across all systems or not?

The nintendo website is actually significantly easier to understand than the sony one in this aspect, because there it says which consoles can download the game. The FAQ for PS4 doesn't really contain this information.

Any advice would be appreciated.

texts: Do Spectator Controls work while replaying a LOLReplay file?

texts:
League Replays is by far the most famous replaying system for League of Legends, it has a nice set of controls like fast forwarding, slow motion and the imbued controls on the spectator mode are far more intuitive to use and more useful in my opinion.

Will a match recorded as a spectator using LOL Recorder enable the very same spectator controls as if on a Live Game when replayed later on?

texts: How do I prevent friendly fire *from* allies?

texts:
In the question, "Would I take friendly fire damage if I had a mage as companion?", we learn that followers can deal friendly fire damage to the player character.

So, how do I prevent followers, conjured/reanimated creatures and other allies from dealing friendly fire damage to the player character, or improve their AI to avoid them hitting the player character?

I'm playing on the PC, so console commands and mod solutions are welcome.

Note: I'm talking about preventing friendly fire damage from allies to the player character, not the other way around. I am already aware of console commands and in-game abilities that will prevent friendly fire damage from the player character to some allies.

texts: Force a falling block to place in Minecraft 1.16.4?

texts: What is the best way to force place a falling block?  In other words, is there a way to make a falling block place itself in the air?  If so, what is the best way?  I know you could use barriers under the falling block so it lands and places itself, but I was wondering if there is a better way.  I want to prevent a falling block to break when landing on a torch or another block that breaks falling blocks.  To use the barrier method, I would have to copy the block to a different location, place the barrier down, wait a tick, then copy the block back.  I need this to work with automation, and as little commands as possible, so I am hoping there is a method requiring less commands.  I am making a function that runs a lot of commands that will loop multiple times per tick.  More commands = more lag so less commands would be great.  If any of this is unclear or you have any questions please let me know.


texts: Is any content in Farming Classic Collection for the PSN cut compared to the PSP version?

texts:
The text on the store page kinda hints towards hit, roughly translated from my language:

  This Product is a digital version of a Disc-based PSP title. Some
  functions can be different from the version for psp or are not
  available.

I ask because I thought about buying the Farming Classic Collection which is not available in Germany and costs about 60€ here. Same with Harvest Moon Boy and Girl. -.-

It is only 15€ for that Collection on PSN.
Does someone own the Collection and can tell me whats different?
It says it has 356 MB for 2 Harvest Moon Games, which seems a bit low to me. My Playstation 1 Version of BTN has about 210 MB for 1 Game.

Today is the start of the Nature Day event in ACNH so there is a game update.

But I opened my game right after sleep mode and launched it on the older version. Isabelle had no news about Nature Day, nor did Tom Nook. After updating the game and launching it I had new mail regarding the event and Tom Nook spoke about it but nothing more.

I noticed that Leif is present on all of my friend's islands so I'm asking myself if its absence on my island is a bug or a feature.

Should Leif be on my island on the first day of Nature Day or is it random?

texts: Is the "auto director" startup avoidable?

texts: In Double Fine's Happy Action Theatre, the game automatically starts in a "director" mode, which automatically cycles through scenes. This is usually fine, but sometimes I just want to go straight to a particular scene. I've figured out that I can wait till the game starts in director mode, then pause it and manually select the scene I want. The problem is this involves several long load times and I'm impatient. The spotlights that appear during load up appear interactive, but I haven't been able to figure out how to stop the director from being selected. Is there a shortcut to avoid the director mode on start up?

I've gotten a couple of orange armor pieces and weapons, and it seems like the only thing that varies between them is the look and the upgrades they happen to come with.  Are they all really the same, or are higher level ones better somehow?

texts: In what order should I get the Gems needed for Mornstar?

texts:
I am at the point where I have learned the locations of the gems needed to complete Mornstar to return it to its former power. In the a previous scene I saw:

   where Shadar is given the power to control the Guardians who once obeyed the Wizard King

So, this gives me concern that each gem will be protected thus a boss fight.

I am wondering if there is a recommended order in terms of difficulty I should approach each of the gems? All 3 are pointed out by map markers on the world map, and I don't really want to go to one, find that I am under leveled for the boss and leave to tackle another gem while I get stronger

texts: Why is everybody suddenly scared of me at Lady Boyle's Last Party?

texts:
I am at Lady Boyle's Last Party, I have an invitation and everything. After taking great pains to blend in with the guests, and quietly incapacitating most of the waitstaff and the watchman guarding the service stairs (by the rum fountain), I snuck upstairs to loot the joint. As far as I know, I was never spotted while I was up there, and I stashed all the watchmen's bodies in the attic where they couldn't be found.

However, when I come back downstairs, people start freaking out at the sight of me. I figured one of them must have seen me upstairs somehow, but after reloading my save a few times, I'm not so sure. I've re-loaded the same save several times, and sometimes everyone gets scared as soon as I come out of the service stair doorway, sometimes it doesn't happen until a few minutes later. It seems to be one of the Boyle sisters who notices me first each time but I can't say for sure. However, I've only talked to each sister once.

So, any idea what's going on? I've already finished the mission by slowing time, choking the appropriate sister, then Blinking her down to the basement, that allowed me to get away without killing anyone but I was still Detected even though I wouldn't have been otherwise. Just curious.

texts: What is the difference between powering a block with a repeater and with redstone dust leading into it

texts:
If you have a powered repeater pointing into a block, the block itself is powered and powers any attached torches or adjacent powerable blocks (e.g. pistons, hoppers, glowstone lamps).

However if you have powered redstone dust pointing into the block, the block behaves differently. The block will still power attached torches or adjacent powerable blocks, but it will not power any redstone dust adjacent to the block (unless it's connected to the original redstone dust). Also, interestingly it will power a repeater coming out of the block.

So I've always wondered why is this? Is there a name for these two different concepts?

My current character is wearing melee gear, sword shield, that sort of thing. Early game is near impossible without a shield I've found so far.

Any help would be appreciated. I am currently farming the starter areas outside the pursuer boss zone. Should I keep focusing on melee gear until I can re-spec for magic stuff?

Main focus would be SL150 probably won't do new game plus, winning the game once is enough for me, so far I like pyro and sorcereys, I'd like to throw some miracles in there if possible, I looked over all the gear you guys listed for me to aim towards, on a side note what should I try get to help me reach the end of the game, remember im still in the beginning basically

This is specific to the PS1/SNES version.

I have been trying to get a generic character to turn into an angel knight by raising her stats up to exceed the listed thresholds here. She has been trained mostly as a Valkyrie, is lawful, and has gotten many kills. I worry that there is an undocumented requirement to NOT have killed many foes. I have tried killing her myself as well as letting enemies kill her, but I always end up with nothing more than a dead character.

In the past I have had my priest(ess) die and have her return as an angel knight before I could load my game.  (This was always cause to load because a priest class makes for a poor front-line fighter, and I lost my revivify spell.)

What am I doing wrong?  What are the real requirements to getting an angel knight without recruiting one?

texts: How can I kill Evil Marie or Krampus on one life?

texts:
I spent a lot of time a couple days ago in an arcade trying to beat the world high score on CarnEvil. As per the high score rules, the attempt has to be done in one life with one gun and the top score presently is upwards of one million (way more than Junior + one other stage could provide), so I know for a fact it's possible to beat all three bosses sequentially on one life. Unfortunately, so far as I can tell, the run isn't available online and I can't find any runs that one-life the bosses without a second player.

The problem is, I have no clue how to kill Krampus or Evil Marie without dying at least once. I can get to either boss with a full health bar but that full health bar always gets depleted at least once since the bosses attack with seemingly unblockable hits right out of the gate. Marie with her axe and magic attack and Krampus with his swipes. I've optimized the shot placement such that I'm completely skipping Krampus's coal attack and all but one of Marie's flying axes, but those are the only two attacks in the boss rotations that can actually be defended against. On top of that, the bosses kind of break with the amount of damage that I'm doing by skipping phases and having their attack lines skipped, so I'm clearly doing better than the programmers expected, but it's still not enough to dodge that full lifebar of damage.

So, I'm open to the idea that there's some kind of trick or weak point that can be leveraged to either block the attacks or do more damage such that I can skip a couple more hits.

texts: How exactly do I dominate this guy and get him to put handcuffs on?

texts:
I've put one point into the Mastermind's Dominator skill, which says it can be used to intimidate non-special enemies. However, I'm not sure exactly how to make this work. Last time I tried it on a bank guard (before any alarms had been raised) by coming up to him with my gun out and smacking the intimidate key. He ended up handcuffing me, which was the opposite of what I intended. I understand that I can only dominate a single enemy at a time, but none were dominated when I tried.

How can I dominate my enemies? When it should work, does it always work, or is there merely a %chance of success?

texts: Why do elemental DOT effects sometimes deal 1 damage each hit?

texts:
This is an odd thing I've noticed with  Burn and Electrocute now; sometimes I'll get a solid hit on an enemy causing a Damage Over Time effect...but it does just 1 damage per "tick", causing a fountain of 1s, instead of 2000-4000 per, which my effects normally do at level 50.

It's not because the target resists it; I've seen it happen to Flesh enemies hit with Shock and Burn damage. And sometimes a target will take multiple normal DOT stacks and one or two "1 damage" stacks. So an enemy won't always be taking 1 damage per stack, one enemy that takes a 1 damage stack will suddenly take full damage the next stack, so it's not because of resistance, immunity or adaptive shields.

I've even noticed these 1 DPS effects on myself now, and not while using an immunity or adaptive shield. It was Fire so it should have done normal damage. Also, oddly enough, I've noticed 2 damage per "tick" DOT damage from my mechro on both Fire and Shock; I think that might be because her Shock DOT is boosted 75%, and her Fire DOT was caused by a skill which turns Shock DOT into extra Fire DOT. So it would seem the base power of the hit was somehow actually 1, amplified to a beefy 2.

What causes these super low damage DOT effects?

texts: Cannot connect to my dedicated, steam-group L4D2 server

texts:
I have successfully setup a dedicated L4D2 server on my Linux box.  I can manually connect to it with connect <myip>, so I believe I have all the basics setup correctly.

I'm trying to get the server to show up on the "Steam Group Servers" list so that its relatively easy to find and configure through the UI.  However, its not showing up there.  There are some servers in there from other Steam Groups I'm in, but not this server.  (As far as I can tell, the server isn't showing up anywhere in the UI...)  (A Steam Group seems like a nice way to make the server "private" without requiring a password.)

hostname "My Home L4D2 Server"
rcon_password "nothisisnotmypassword"

sv_contact "invalidemail@example.com"

texts: In Fallout 3 (on the Xbox 360) is there any fix for the "moving PIP-Boy" bug?

texts:
I love me some Fallout 3. In fact, it's paused as I write this.

That said, there's a fairly well-known bug (definitely in the Xbox version, I don't know about the others) where the PIP-Boy display shifts up occasionally, and eventually (if you access your PIP-Boy enough) the top portion is off the display, rendering the top line of information (say, your HP and weight carried) invisible.

Is there a fix for this aside from quitting and restarting the game?


texts: If multiple accounts own different DLCs for a game, can every account in the console use them?

Does this change between Free to Play games and Full Paid Games?


texts: How does the “chance to hit” (or accuracy) work in Diablo 1?

texts:
So there's this percentage that shows how accurate your character is when hitting.

Say I use a Rogue, and reaches 100% chance to hit (or accuracy) then I believe it hits all the arrows. But after I saw that it's possible to get more percentage than 100% then my thoughts are.. Is there a limit, or is it pointless?

More detail, I currently have three shield types:

Green (Common)
Purple (Rare)
Pink (Very Rare)

texts: What are good strategies and build orders for a newbie player?

texts:
I'm a newbie in the Civ universe (although i played Civ4 for a short while). I enjoy the new addition to the series and I am able to win games on easy difficulties, but there is no real strategy behind my play. I just build things that seem useful and then go to war and slowly beat everyone. Although this works now, I can imagine it won't on higher difficulties.

So my question is - what are good strategies or build orders for a newbie player? What should I build in my cities and why?

If there is 1 bell, and 1 bed 20 blocks away, what will be the result? Does a new point of interest increase the total radius of the village, or does it create a new area of 32 blocks by 32 blocks? Will the village now be 52 blocks by 52 blocks or 32 blocks by 52 blocks?

texts: (Java Minecraft 1.13) What is the max and min elytra glide speed with rockets?

texts: I'm planning on creating an item which when held in the off hand while flying gives the player a constant velocity, like a rocket but passive. To know what I need to multiply the players Motion[], by, I need to know approximately what the max flying speed with the rocket is. I checked the wiki but couldn't find any actual numbers, just that it goes faster than without. I also could use the minimum speed required to stay airborne while flying straight/level with the horizon. I've tried using a repeat command block chain for chatting my position while flying but the numbers don't really make any sense, as they dip and spike a lot, so I'm just wondering if there's a way to get these values non experimentally.

texts: What are the penalties for being late for work?

texts:
I'm trying to burn through career promotions for aspirations quicky. Part of this is getting the sim in a proper mood before leaving for work. I queue up finishing of the daily task and studying some object to make my sim focused before they leave for work.

By doing so, it often happens that my sim doesnt actually leave the house until 1 hour after they had to go to work. On one occasion it was even 2 hours.

Are there any penalties for getting late to work, like...

The job performance meter only moves when you work? (and by being late it has less time in a day)
Sims get paid by hour, not day?
Fixed penalties like treating it as not coming in for work once a few hours pass?


texts: Strategy for discarding cards at the beginning (mulligan)

texts:
When you get your first hand in Hearthstone you can discard as many cards as you like and draw replacements for your deck. For now I've mostly just eliminated very expensive cards that I won't get to play for a while, but I'm wondering how aggressive one should be in eliminating expensive cards.

Are there some common rules on which cards to discard immediately? Besides the mana cost, which factors should I take into account making this decision?


texts: Is it a good idea to create mass generals in Empire: Total War before close battles?

texts:
It is possible to recruit a new general unit from any unit. The original unit is unaffected by this, so in theory, with enough money, it is possible to suddenly create 19 generals from a single pawn.

Since a generals battle value is about the same as a slightly cheaper knight unit, not much money is lost. Also, one can save upkeep while moving the knight unit to the front, so it might even out. Additionally, there is the chance to get a highly ranked general that considerably increases the strength of all units.

Personally, I find this idea kind of lame, but I successfully used it and wondered how others think about it.


texts: How can detective legacy turn suspects/rivals into followers?

texts:
The "detective" legacy is great - in my opinion it is the easiest legacy to make money: with barely 1 REASON you have guaranteed 2 x FUNDS, which goes can go up when you make progress (and you can increase the chance for the progress by dumping more REASON cards into investigation) in the investigation up to (I think) +8 when you manage to arrest the suspect.
Unfortunately, those suspects are taken from the same pool of characters as your potential followers, which means that your cult will lack in members (in my current game I don't have a single WINTER follower!).
However, since the suspect is just a card, can you somehow convince them to join your side? I've tried to TALK to them but the only results was more notoriety cards.

texts: Which technique could I use to increase my resistance to slashing and piercing damage?

texts:
In Dungeon of Dredmor, every time I reach dugoen level 4/5 things are getting hard. In particular I have some problems with monsters that cause slashing and/or piercing damage like Pumpkinn and Witchy.

I tried increasing my dodging chance but they hit me anyway 4 times out of 5. Also damage absorption seems to not be enough, and they attack me with 4-8 damage and even more if they crit.

Using a warrior slashing monsters are less dangerous but piercing monsters still hit hard; using a rogue or a mage I have problem with both.

Do you have any suggestions how to fight and survive these type of mobs?

So, I end up spending more time moving my units back and forth than actually fighting. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a glitch, or am I just not getting something?

texts: How does the stat "- ## to all armor" work?

texts:
Some weapons (and other items as I recall) have a stat that negatively affects enemy armor. For example, the Quatermass and the Pit legendary mace has a -470 to all armor per hit stat. But how does this work?

Let's suppose that I find a weapon that has -100 to all armor per hit, and I'm fighting an enemy with 500 total armor. Does each hit act as if the enemy only had 400 armor to begin with? Or does the enemy's armor degrade over time, to the point of being broken (e.g. after five hits with the aforementioned weapon, the enemy's armor is now 0)?


texts: Minecraft execute as armor stand unless other armor stand in distance

texts:
im trying to create a type of conveyor belts for minecraft, therefore im using command like

execute as @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand] if block ~.4 ~-1 ~-.4 minecraft:carved_pumpkin[facing=south] if block ~-.4 ~-1 ~-.4 minecraft:carved_pumpkin[facing=south] run tp ~ ~ ~.1

With this command I'm moving the armorstand (in this case) south, where it gets catched by another commandblock for another direction. Although I want to queue them up, when there is already a armor stand in front. For example when my conveyor belt ends or there is a wall, they should queue up. I thought this could be done by adding the following:

unless entity @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,distance=1]

As far as I understood this, I thought it'll run the command above, unless there is an armor stand in a radius of 1 block. It doesn't seem to work though. Am I missing something or just didn't use the unless part correctly?

texts: BuildCraft waterproof pipes and water/oil pumping, does liquid get lost?

texts:
I found an oil well the other day and have now successfully pumped it dry into a ton of tanks, some 450 tank blocks, spread over 25 high tank towers.

Now I want to refine it.

The question is, do I have to empty each tank at a time, to avoid loosing liquid?

All the tanks are placed next to each other, and let's say I attach a wooden pipe to each, with a running redstone engine above, and then hook everything together into one long pipe network ending up in the refinery.

Obviously the refinery will not be able to refine quick enough that all that oil will flow at the same speed from each tank as it would if I was emptying just one tank, so the pipes will be full pretty quick.

Will the pumps stop drawing oil from the tanks when this happens, so that I can just set it all up and forget about it, assuming I create enough tanks to hold all the fuel that is.

Or do I have to "micromanage" it by emptying out one oil tank at a time, to avoid filling the pipes and then losing liquid?

texts: Horizontal distance in scope of Battlefield 3?

texts:
Does anyone know if the scale between the vertical dot distance is 1:1 with the horizontal dot distance? In simple terms:

For the time it takes the bullet to drop 1 dot, is the same it takes a player moving at constant speed to move 1 dot across the scope? I know that it all depends on the speed of the player, but is there set ratios? So for a static weapon (L96 with 12x scope):

While player is running without sprint:
1 vDot = 1hDot

while player is running with sprint: 1vDot = 1/2hDot

While player is in a vehicle: 1vDot = 1/10hDot

EDIT: Added some more info based on the answer i got.

EDIT 2: I am not asking how to snipe. I already know how to do that. I am wanting to know if there is a reliable ratio or not.

texts:
So I completed the quest to get the horn of wurgen windcaller and did the first of the blades quest with Delphine and then proceeded to go to high hrothgar to give argenir the horn. When I gave it to him all the greybeards assembled, except master wuthrad, and argenir told he that wuthrad would now teach me the last word in unrelenting force. I went outside and checked my map and noticed that the quest marker for wuthrad is waaaay south of hrothgar and I figure that he somehow ended up there.  I tried reloading old save but they all have the same issue and I'm not crazy far in the game but I really don't wanna restart. I've heard that if you can manage to get close enough to hit him with an arrow you can aggro him all the way back but I'm just wondering if someone managed to find a simpler fix.
Thanks!

Or are the success percentages for items completely immutable?

I have a problem: the guards in Nashkel attack me on sight, even though my Reputation is 13, and it says that I am Popular (my character is a Chaotic Evil Half-Orc).

I think it might have something to do with something that happened at the start of the game, when I tried to force open a lock, and someone saw me; I killed the guard, and now I'm hanging around wearing his armor and stuff, but I have been a good boy since then.
Is this some kind of bug? Should I restart the game?

EDIT: I donated 1.5k gold to the temple next to the Friendly Arm Inn, my reputation increased to 14, I went back to Nashkel, and I'm still being attacked by the guards. Is this because I'm playing a Chaotic Evil character?

texts: How can i get up to more than 10 battles without relying on the random pre-battle chances?

texts:
So far i can only do 5 successive battles by having one member of the party kill every target in one turn. ie

E = Edea
T = Tiz
M = Magnolia
Y = Yew

[M = 0, E = 0, Y = 0, T = 0] | Magnolia kills all targets
[M = -1, E = 0, Y = 0, T = 0] | Yew kills all targets
[M = -1, E = 0, Y = -1, T = 0] | Tiz kill all targets
[M = -1, E = 0, Y = -1, T = -1] | Edea kill all targets
[M = -1, E = -1, Y = -1, T = -1] | first turn lost as party recovers BP

however i notice that the counter for the number of successive battles even though i get 5 shows up as "05" so it seems i should be able to at least get up to 10 or more. i tried having the entire party Default and only one person attacks but the BP isn't gained until the start of the next turn (which the battle ends before hand)

I know that sometimes at the start of battle everyone can get 1BP from the start but not only is random but also this only ads an extra 4 turns so at most i could get up to 9.

I have also noticed there are times when "there are enemies lurking nearby" which forces a successive battle but likewise this is random and the chance of getting both this and BP at the start of battle is even lower.

So i am wondering if there is a way for me to be able to do more than 10 successive battles without relying on random chances?

I have seen some vague references to eating rings as a means of permanently gaining their power. I initially assumed this involved using Stone-to-Flesh to turn a stone ring into a meat ring. However, the wiki article makes it sound like meat rings are worthless (except as pet treats).

texts: Did "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" use a battery for keeping the save files after all?

texts:
I thought I had finally established that only Ocarina of Time used a battery-powered save feature, whereas the sequel Majora's Mask had advanced to a flash-based save memory which didn't require a battery (and thus the savegames will last forever)... But then I read this:

  Miscellaneous Attributes  Battery Backed RAM

Source: https://www.mobygames.com/game/n64/legend-of-zelda-majoras-mask/techinfo

What gives? Is it battery-powered or not? What does "Battery Backed RAM" even mean? That's a very odd phrasing for a battery-based save feature... Are they talking about something else?

Also, I've been trying to verify that the resolution used by both this game and Ocarina of Time is 320 x 240 pixels. I can't find this information anywhere, and considering how MobyGames apparently cannot be trusted to contain correct information, I'm not even sure how I could be sure that the answer for that is correct...

I find in general that Wikipedia articles virtually never contain any useful technical information like this, and whenver I DuckDuckGo these games, no matter what phrases I add before or after, all I find are "ROM download" piracy sites, which is not what I'm looking for. I'm eager to hear if you know of some kind of properly verified wealth of information for N64 (and other) games.

Is there something that you can find to escape the wilderness, or remove that bracelet without dying?

texts: How does Reputation work in Mass Effect 3?

texts:
The change to the Paragon/Renegade system between Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 was pretty significant. In the first game, you could eventually unlock the entire Charm / Intimidate trees, and attaining either kind of points was a positive thing. In Mass Effect 2, you were no longer able to dabble in both kinds of actions - if paragons didn't continue to act as paragons, they could eventually lock themselves out of potential charm dialog.

In the reviews and pre-release info that's now circulating the web, I've been hearing that the Paragon/Renegade system has changed again, replaced by a more generic-sounding Reputation. What is Reputation? How is it different from the system in ME or ME2?

I have a dilema - before starting a shaman I did some reading on what to spec it as, and most articles said to go for Enhancement, since that's the best for leveling - I did just that.

Just the other day, I decided to go to my first instance (Deadmines), and I selected myself as healer (which may or may not have been the best thing to do?). As we were going through, I tried my best healing with the 1 healing spell I had. Half way through the instance, things started hitting significantly harder, and I couldn't heal fast enough, so the tank died, twice (2 hitter deaths) - next thing I know, I Was kicked from the group.

I guess my question is - what did I do wrong? I was literally chain casting that healing spell. Should I have gone for DPS instead of the healer? Should I respec to restoration? How will that affect my leveling? I was completely demoralised after being kicked - totally killing my want to play the game in general.

Any tips from other shamans on the spec?


texts: How to manage heavy armor in Eschalon Book II?

texts:
I'm trying to play as a heavy-armor using character in Eschalon book II. My problem is that even though I invest heavily in strength, wearing all that heavy armor really leaves me very little to spare in my encumbrance value, so I can't carry a lot of treasure.

Any tips on building such a character?

EDIT: in addition to investing points into strength I use two +3 str rings, +2 str amulet, +2 str belt etc., and I still find it hard to keep up - I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

texts: How can I open the Fire Sanctuary Basement Floor Treasure Chest?

texts: I completed the Fire Sanctuary in Zelda: Skyward Sword and after going back inside I found I never visited the Basement Floor of the Dungeon Map. There is a treasure chest I had not gotten. I searched all over for an entrance to get there and could not figure it out. Has anybody else noticed this?

Does manager mode have a limited amount of seasons? And if so: how many seasons can I play?


texts: Cannot add a game to my Xbox app games list in Windows 10

texts:
Using Windows 10 and trying to add some Steam games to the My games list in the Xbox app. When I click on the Add a game from your PC it shows a list of apps that have shortcuts in the Start Menu. I've created and copied lots of Steam game shortcuts to the Start Menu folder, which in my case is:

%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

Despite this, the Xbox app refuses to detect any of these shortcuts. Does anyone know how to make adding third-party games to your collection as easy as it is with Steam?


texts: Can you kill all non-quest NPC's permanently

texts:
I'd like to start recording some Fallout NV, in which I'd naturally discover each location and murder that locations population.

So if I was to do this, if I returned to the locations which I discovered, would the non-quest NPC's still be dead or would they respawn.


texts: What do the different phial types do for switch axes?

texts:
Each switch axe has its own specific type of "phial", which gives an added bonus effect to your hits when you're in sword mode. What does each phial type actually do? I just got the Arzuros Axe, which has a "poison" phial, and I have no idea what that actually means.

The types, according to the wiki, are:

Power
Paralysis
Poison
Dragon
Element
Exhaust
