texts: What reason do I have to equip an ammo pack in my utility slot?

texts:
Engineers start the game with ammunition packs in their utility slot (4), and can unlock tank mines or anti-personnel mines to equip in that slot instead.

However, regardless of what is equipped in your utility slot, you can always drop ammo packs by switching to your nano-construction tool (5) and pressing the Fire Mode key (B by default).

Other than the fact that you have to spend certs to unlock mines, what's the point of equipping an ammo pack in the utility slot at all? Is the ammo pack in your utility slot somehow different from the packs your construction tool create, or are they completely redundant?

texts: PS3 issues following YLOD fix -- what now?

texts:
I have a PS3 that recently YLOD'd.  I followed djwhetzel's youtube videos to remedy the YLOD.  The fix worked, for a couple minutes.

Now, the screen goes crazy, showing really bad video, as in something is wrong w/ the video processor.  The system locks, and I can only shut it down using the power switch.  Anytime I start it back up, it attempts to start, no YLOD/blinking red light, but the video is corrupt and the system is locked (doesn't respond to any input at all, including the power switch).

I had already purchased a new PS3, in hopes to pull the data off the YLOD'd one and then trash it.  But now I'm not sure I'll even be able to do that.

So my questions:

1) Any idea what the new issue is, and if it is fixable?

2) If it is not fixable by me, is it fixable by Sony or some other service?

3) Is there any way I can get my saved data off of there if I'm unable to get the original system to boot?  I'm afraid the answer here is "no", but it really drives me crazy that the HD is perfectly fine and my saved data is completely in tact, and I have a perfectly new PS3, with absolutely no way to get the saved data from that HD to my new one.

UPDATE:

Upon more digging, it sounds like my GPU may be overheating, possibly due to a poor job on my part of applying thermal compound -- is this a possibility?  If so, have I permanently fried my GPU, or can I possibly fix this by reapplying the compound?  What may I have done wrong to have caused this?


texts: When should I use 4- and 6-lane two-way roads?

texts:
I am having no luck with two-way roads. They seem to clog really easy, even with moderate traffic.

This shows a ring of 6-lane two-ways around an industrial zone, the traffic is already queueing up:

When I convert all the 6-lane roads into one-way roads, traffic seems to flow much better. However, I'm reluctant to do this for three reasons:

If two-way roads are in the game, they must have some purpose, right?
I can't ask my citizens if they are ok with the longer ways.
Most of the cities I have lived in have a ring road around the city, but none of them was ever one-way. (Some of them have grass in the middle and so not on every intersection you can turn in a way that would cross the other direction.)

How/in what situations would I use big two-way roads?

texts:
I know that if I take damage, bandages and first aid kits can only get me back to 75% health, and after that I have to use something like an Energy Drink (which gives 40 boost) to fully heal, and it seems to do a heal over time effect, unlike bandages and kits which are instant (after the cast time).

Painkillers seem to be another boost item, and give 60 boost.

Does boost do anything besides beside cause the heal-over-time effect? How much can they heal?

texts: How to evolve my pokemon in Pokemon go without the app making me go to the top of the pokemon list?

texts:
I seem to remember being able to rename, favorite, evolve, transfer, etc. my pokemon in Pokemon Go without the app making me go back to the top of the list but for some reason, the latest update makes me go back to the top of the list when I do any of the above actions to my pokemon.

How do I make it not do that and make the behavior like before?  The reason this is a big deal to me is before when I used my Lucky Egg, I could alphabetize my pokemons and evolve all my Rattatas quickly.  Now, I have to scroll back down my list to Rattata after each evolution.  I used to be able to evolve 65 or so pokemons for each egg.  Now, I'll bet I can't evolve more than 50 because of the delay.

Thanks in advance for your advice and help.

I have the iOS version of Colt Express and haven't yet figured out how to do local multiplayer (ie. pass and play). According to this article local multiplayer is possible, but it is hard to find any other information on the matter.

What I have seen so far is that any option under the local game tab in Classic mode seems to assume I am the only human playing. Whenever I select a character, it throws in 5 computers with me and starts the game. I can't figure out how to make it acknowledge that more than one human is playing the local game. If local multiplayer isn't possible, it would make this the first board game adaptation I've seen that doesn't offer such a feature, so I felt it unusual enough to ask.


texts:
Some time ago I tried to play an old game on my pc. The game is called Transport Giant Gold from back in 2004 made by JoWood.

When I tried running it, I had some very annoying problems with the graphics. Ever 10-40 seconds or so the game flashes to black. Not the whole screen, just parts of it. I'm guessing about 100 pixels high and over the whole width. It can also happen on any height and seems to be random.

I tried running the old game in compatibility mode, disabling visual themes, disabling desktop composition, but nothing really seemed to work. I also have the most recent graphic drivers.

A couple of days ago I found the game on Greenmangaming where I bought it. According to the website it would be a 2012 edition so I was expecting it would work. However, it has the same problems. Link to the game: http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/nl/en/pc/games/simulation/transport-giant-gold/

Some of my pc specs: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1967872

How can I fix this flashing?

texts: How to detect a block in Minecraft from all sides using /execute and detect

texts:
I've recently added some new commands into a .mcfunction, since 1.12 is now out. What I wanted was that if the player ran directly into a block, it destroys it, now that works with this command:

execute @a ~ ~ ~ detect ~1 ~ ~ minecraft:wool 7 setblock ~1 ~ ~ minecraft:air 0 destroy

But my only problem, is that it only works from 1 side, not all 4 sides of the block. Can anyone help me out? I really only want it to work from the front, left, right and back sides.

Example: (Sorry it's an MS Paint Example. But it's the only way I can kind of explain, the arrows represent which way the player will run into the block.)

Thanks,
Daniel

texts: How can I get more critical hits in my combos and maximize my combo meter?

texts:
At rank 12 of the Shadow Vigilante challenge, you have to get 20 critical hits in a single combo.  In the previous games, getting criticals were relatively easy.  Just attack immediately after you hit an enemy... But in this game, it seems criticals just don't seem to register when I think they should making getting this challenge more difficult than it really is.  I'm also playing on hard so they tend to take swings at me very frequently so it's hard to get into a groove with the hits without getting hit back.

Any tips on how to get more critical hits in my combos in a fight so I can get to the next rank?


texts: Does the Nintendo Switch Online Family Group allow sharing of eShop games between accounts on different devices?

texts:
This is not a duplicate of Can you share digital games on Nintendo Switch like how it is for PS4 and Xbox One?, as that question was asked before much information was available about Nintendo Switch Online.  This question is specifically about that program.

Someone I'm close to is considering buying a Switch, but is not too keen on having to pay for games that I already bought (both physical and digital).  If the Family Membership plan will allow us to share games I've already purchased (and new games that he purchases), then he is much more likely to actually buy one.

If this person I'm close with gets his own Switch, can we get a family plan and share the eShop games we buy with each other, on our own devices?  Or will he have to buy extra copies of games he wants to play?

texts: How does the Shrine of the Gunbringer work?

texts:
I came across the Shrine of the Gunbringer where it looks like I can sacrifice something or someone it the main chamber.... How does it work and how can I use it?  I saw a video of it here but when I tried jumping in it & having my friend hit the lever, it didn't do anything.  Is there any criteria that has to be met to use it?

Some of the comments on YouTube Suggest the following:

Step 1. Go to the shrine.
Step 2. Make SURE no person presses the button early or it will be wasted. This has happened multiple times for me. People run up and press the button. The light should be green on the button. If it is red, someone was an idiot.
Step 3. Have all of your sacrifices get in the hole.
Step 4. Sacrificed them and wait.

Can anyone confirm or deny these suggestions?
Sorta spoiler below:

 I just completed the Rescue Roland quest.

Tried the button and it did not work.


texts: Can I use a second controller to frame my photo mode shots if I'm using a racing wheel?

Title basically says it all.  The biggest problem I'm having is controlling the yaw, as in I can't with the racing wheel (the official Microsoft one from a few years back).  I also can't control the height from which the photo is taken, which could be useful as well.

What I really want to be able to do is use a regular controller for photo mode, and then switch back to my racing wheel for all the driving.  The gear shift paddles (LB and RB) don't do anything, and I didn't think to try the peddles.  How is this possible, if it even is possible?

texts: Does the Extended Ending DLC contain the Synthesis Choice?

texts:
When i saw my dad complete the game i remember him only having 2 choices, to destroy or to control the Reapers and i remember he chose to destroy, i remember the scene well as i remember seeing the shorts of the Illusive Man and Anderson and since i hadn't played the game i saw thinking did the Illusive Man try and control them already and got all scorched as a result of what i saw in the cutscene, i also remember the 2 choices was Blue and Red and had been wondering if the control option was Paragon and the destroy option was renegade.

Obviously my dad didn't have the Extended Ending DLC so when i got to the final choice i got the 2 choices he got, after listening to the Catalyst about what would happen to me i was thinking of control as i would probably end up like Madoka from Pellua Magi Madoka Magica, however then the Catalyst game me a third option to merge Synthetic and Organic, the Synthesis Choice.

Now i am unsure what decisions my dad made up to Mass Effect 3 so i am wondering if the Synthesis Choice was added because i have the Extended Ending DLC or if i had done something throughout the Mass Effect Trilogy which allowed it and if so what was it.


texts: (Java Minecraft 1.14) Snowball entity tag:{} not copied over for last item in a stack

texts:
I'm doing a remake of my old Holy Hand Grenade item, but with snowballs rather than potions this time. However, I've run up against a very odd issue. I give the item with this command:

give @s minecraft:snowball{dmd_grenade:1b,CustomModelData:256,display:{Name:"{\"text\":\"Holy Hand Grenade\",\"color\":\"yellow\",\"italic\":\"false\"}"}} 1

And detect it being thrown by running this command every tick:

execute as @e[type=minecraft:snowball,distance=..1.75,tag=!dmd_grenade,nbt={Item:{tag:{dmd_grenade:1b}}}] at @s run function dark_magic:items/throw_grenade

This function, throw_grenade, tags the snowball and summons an armorstand which is teleported along with it until the snowball hits something, at which point the armorstand summons a charged creeper and kills itself. This all works great until you try it in survival with only one in your hand. If you have 2, 3, 4, ...16, everything is fine, but when you put only 1, it just doesn't work. The throw_grenade function is not run, and the grenade is just a dud.

I heard that something similar happens with the minecraft:consume_item advancement trigger in datapacks, where if there is only one item left it doesn't detect NBT. Why does this happen, and is there any workaround? I know one possibility would be doubling everything, so a player gets two snowballs at a time, and when they throw one it takes an extra from their hand, but that's just clunky, ugly, and prone to error if the player doesn't pay attention and divides them into two stacks of one.

Finally, is there a bug report on this? If there isn't, can someone make one?

Which enemies count as a boss for this achievement?

Obviously once one person gets the achievement, they can't get it again except on another account with a different copy of the game. This problem is more an exercise of information gathering using outside sources and friends or at the very least one good community wiki answer to which multiple users contribute.

As a subsection of this question, which of the enemies that count towards this achievement would be the easiest to get this achievement against?

texts: How does Silence work in the Sneak tree?

texts:
I've leveled up my Sneak skill to 100 and attained Silence and assumed I would have little difficulty sneaking around unseen. However I can't tell any difference in the enemy detection rate and I still have gotten caught while trying to move away from a human enemy.

I am asking this from a Lv.27 character with (100)Sneak, (5/5)Stealth and Silence.

texts: (Java Minecraft 1.14) How to use /data with an nbt path?

texts:
This site and this site both speak of an nbt path which allows me to put a certain value (say, the durability of the currently held tool in a player's hand) into a scoreboard. The wiki describes a path like this:

path (Optional)
  Specifies the path to the targeted NBT.
  Data paths look like this: foo.bar[0]."A [crazy name]".baz.
      foo.bar means foo's child called bar.
      foo[0] means element 0 of foo.
     "quoted strings" may be used if a name of a key needs to be escaped.

However, I don't understand what they mean by this. I know foo and bar are just dummy programming terms and that [] are for indices (say Pos[0] or Motion[1]), but I don't understand what the child and string notation is/how it is used.

This post has /data get entity @e[type=minecraft:villager,limit=1,sort=nearest] Brain to get a villager's home location, and I have used /data get entity @s Pos[0] before, but that is getting nbt about an entity specifically, not the contents of their inventory.

If someone could explain what the wiki excerpt means (preferably with examples) and also an example of getting nbt from an inventory item (again, say, the durability of the currently held tool in a player's hand) that would be very helpful.

Recently when i was about to turn on my ps4 with my controller, it did not work. I tought it was out of battery so i connected the cable. But still my ps4 controller did not get any power from the ps4. So when i turned on the ps4 manually it started to light orange, but when i turned it on it blinked white a couple of times then it turned orange again.
I let the controller charge for 1 hour but the problem was still there. So i changed the internal battery and charging port, but it still does not work. I have tried the hard reset, deleting the bluetooth connection and turning off the ps4 completely.
I dont want to spend more money on ps4 controllers, please help.


texts: Static Character Inventory After File Transfer Terraria Mobile

texts:
Hello I am using a GS3 and have recently flashed CM12.1. I backed up my character and 2 worlds from the data/data/terrariasomething/files and put them into this folder once I got the new OS and reinstalled Terraira. My character now has an inventory that remains the same as the backup file. It can be edited (in the game) but when relogged it is back to what it was on the backup made.

The world's chests and terrain can be edited and that is saved but not the character's inventory. Any changes to it are simply overtwritten when relogging to what the backup I put in had. Creating a new character works and that character saves, but then I would lose my 10 mana and 500 health so it isnt really my desired solution. I am and have run only vanilla Terraria.

Am I somehow not allowing editing tomy character when it is on a new phone? Is there some sort of nonrecognition by the game that this file from my old OS is a player that can be edited? Is the file somehow corrupt?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.


texts: How can I view my progress on bonus levels

texts: In Angry Birds Space there are some bonus levels that appear when you hit special rocks.  The birds get sucked into a mini black hole or something, you do the bonus level, and then they pop back out and you complete the original level.  I guess this is to replace the golden egg levels, but I don't see a screen where I can see the ones I've unlocked or finished.  Is there an in-game way to view the progress on these extra levels?

This issue has been solved. I was having an issue with my local CDN after a major internet outage that spanned over two weeks.

I am trying to create a new Rust server for my friend and I to play on, but have run into an issue while trying to create it.

I install SteamCMD, no problems there. However, when I create a .bat file to start downloading the Rust dedicated server, it repeats the same message for around two minutes,

  Update state (0x3) reconfiguring, progress 0.00 (0 / 0)

thereafter failing with the error message:

  Error! App '255850' state is is 0x2 after update job.

The CMD session then outputs that the work queue is not empty and quits the prompt.

I have allowed my download queue on Steam to finish and I have disabled my firewall to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Apparently, if you follow the story, awaken all the crystals several times, and beat the boss, you will fight the ultimate real boss and get the true ending.

If you destroy a crystal, uh, the battle with the penultimate boss will be easier? I don't quite get it:

What exactly happens when you destroy a crystal? Do I not get to fight the ultimate real boss?
Can you destroy a crystal before the final chapter?
If I get the false ending, can I get the true one later? And viceversa.

A few months ago, I had an original small Nintendo 3DS. One evening, I had it with me. I was wearing a large heavy coat, so I did not notice it in the pocket. Later that evening, I threw my coat in the wash, not knowing it was there. The wash was 6 minutes in and the  thing had already been soaked. I immediately removed everything from it (including the battery and SD card) and placed it in dry rice for 4 days, emptying and refilling the rice every day.

The system will not power on. When charging, however, the orange light turns on. I have removed the battery and inserted it into a different model and it shows to be full and working just fine. The only way to investigate it further is to open up the whole thing and take the motherboard out. I do not want to do that because I have no skill in opening up technology and ave a bad history of reassembling things wrong or out of place (and I have no electronic repair equipment or anything that can help except for a screwdriver. I have a lot of games inside of the SD card and it's the only way for me to transfer them to my newer console without spending at least $100.

What can I do? What should I do? Is there any hope for me? I would really like to know what I am able to do. This could save me a lot of money, too.

I hope something can be done and I appreciate all answers. Thank you!


texts: What does the growth range on crops indicate?

texts:
I've noticed most crops have a range in days for how long they take to grow. For example, the description for Turnip states:

  Harvest it 4 - 5 days after sowing.

What does this range indicate? Is it the upper and lower bounds for how long a crop takes to grow (i.e. no matter what you do a Turnip will never be ripe for Harvest before four days of growth), or something else? Furthermore, in what ways can I decrease the number of days it takes crops to grow?

texts:
For some reason whenever I close the lid of my laptop(lenovo T540p), sleep, logoff or shutdown. steam chat will stop receiving messages completely, and will never show up in the chat. This is odd because my old laptop would always receive every message, even when I went offline and turned off my computer I would at least see all the messages I missed when I logged back on.
I know this is happening because the steam app picks up all the messages just fine. but it is rather frustrating to have to keep logging into steam on my phone just to see everything.
any suggestions?

Globally would be fine, but it would be okay to do that on a per profile / per game basis too.


texts: Implications of pistons on farmland in 19W37A

texts:
As stated in Minecraft Snapshot 19W37A change notes:

  Blocks that can be manually placed on farmland can now also be pushed onto it by a piston without destroying the farmland

What are the implications of this simple change?

Mainly, I'm interested in the applications of automated farming.
For example, does this mean that I can line up a set of pistons behind my crops to destroy them all automatically now? Obviously I would still need to replant them afterwards.

Or instead, does this just mean that if I have one crop, I can transfer it to an empty farmland plot with a piston?

texts: How quickly does local authority rating change?

texts:
I am currently looking to expand into one of the largest cities on my map and had recently purchased a fair expanse of land within the local authority area to do this.  This has really affected my standing with the local authority, currently recorded as "appalling".

I have read through the wiki article on the local authority ratings and started to plant lots of trees (probably at 100 now) before finally giving in and spending £1,000,000+ to bribe the local authority.  Despite all this, my standing still is recorded as "appalling". Do these actions take a certain time to improve rating?  I didn't get the "caught by regional inspector" response so I assume my bribe should have gone through successfully.

What does appalling actually mean as a rating?  Is it the same as atrocious (-1000 to -400) mentioned in the linked article?
Should my rating have improved immediately with the actions I took?
What are my options to raise rating if this town is bugged?

How can I find the entities or blocks that cause most lag so I can remove them?


texts: At what point in the game should I start taking down Bounty Hunter bases for fun and profit?

texts:
In "midgame" an easy way to farm data and goons is to go back to the lowest stars and take down UTA or Civilian outposts. The outposts in the very first star are in an exceptionally sorry state (outclassed my most medium hull ships) and yet contain lots of people oh so anxious to begin their new life as SPACE PIRATES. Arrrrrrrrrrrr.

However, in midgame it also happens that bounty hunters become kind of a pain in the behind and, now that I've finally upgraded my base to hold 10k rez at any one time, I noticed that the bounty maximum has also increased to match. I'd rather not be forced to give up so much phat loot to the bounty hunters. There's also a bounty hunter base in a level seven star... the level of this place is so low, it's begging to be taken down. Yet the base sports 7k hitpoints between hull and shield.

It's probably not impossible to take one such base down, but it might be unwise to try my hand at it now. When should I consider taking these targets down? What should I expect in terms of opposition? Will I gain respect and lose bounty for doing so?

texts: Could using ALT + F4 to close a game corrupt Save data?

texts:
I am pretty new to PC gaming after having a PS3. I didn't make a switch to PS4 but instead went to PC gaming. So far, everything is awesome.
However there is a thing that worries me; while exiting a game using alt+F4 in Windows, could that cause the save game file to be corrupted, especially during the autosave?

Warning. These answers are general and may not apply to your specific game and under some uncommon circumstances hitting Alt-F4 could corrupt your save file anyway. (Example: game runs in Dosbox, or an emulator, or a terminal, or you press Alt-F4 on a window that's hung and then confirm that you want to kill the process.)
Use of ALT-F4 to exit a game is at your own risk.

The game says to see the challenges "listed below," however, nothing I have done (I tried all of the buttons on my PS4 controller, but to no avail) has let me actually view these challenges.

My fear is that this UI was designed for PC and was not kept in mind when it was ported to consoles, but I could be wrong. Is there a way to view these lists of challenges in-game, or am I forced to look online to see what they are?

I understand that using the audio too much can result in a Foxy jumpscare, and that you can seal off vents to prevent Springtrap from reaching you through them, but what about when he is right outside the office doorway? You can try to click on him (which does nothing) and you can look away (which results in him killing you) or you can stare at him without moving (Which also results in him killing you). This is all I can think of doing.
Am I allowed to use the audio in another room to lure him away from the doorway after he already saw me, or am I just gonna die anyways? (If there is some other way, can you please tell me?) Plus, whenever I see him on camera, and I use the audio in that same area I see him, it just makes me see a Phantom in the office with me and I have to restart the ventilation system. What am I doing right and what am I doing wrong?


texts: Why doesn't Bioshock 2 start from within steam?

texts:
My question is similar to but a little different from this one: Bioshock on Steam Hangs on Startup

I couldn't find anything in the steam / bioshock forums or troubleshooting manuals about this... Neither could I find any log files that Bioshock 2 generates.

I recently got Bioshock 2 via Steam. When starting it from within Steam, the only thing I see is the launcher and the game binary appearing and (about 30s later) disappearing again in Process Explorer.

The strange thing is, that I can start Bioshock 2 from Windows 7's Start menu.

I tried around with admin priviliges, to no avail.

Using Steam's function to Verify the integrity of the game files was a mistake. It apparently restored the files that were updated when installing the patch that was forced on me by the Games For Windows Live framework that Bioshock 2 appears to be glued to. I'm currently trying to recover from this by removing and completely re-downloading the game from steam.

My system is a 64bit Windows 7.

texts: How does Potency factor into the damage formula?

texts:
I've been playing Final Fantasy 14 for a couple weeks now, and I'm running into something I can't seem to figure out.  All my spells have a "Potency" attached to them, ranging anywhere from 20, right up to 100.

Checking a couple wikis, the best I get out of them is, "The mathematical base damage of an ability.", which doesn't really tell you much about how it actually works.

Is potency a percentage-based value?  Or how does it work to apply damage to whatever it is I'm targetting?

Does the game have a proper ending if you complete all levels on hard mode? Or is it just an endless loop?

I am currently making a gravestone system in minecraft with command blocks, and that means I need to run a command at the location of a player before they die.

I have tried the obvious answer, executing on a player when their deaths score increases: (deaths is a scoreboard tracking deathCount)

execute @e[score_deaths_min=1] ~ ~ ~ summon minecraft:armor_stand

however this summons the armor stand after the player respawns because it can't find the player when they are dead

I also tried teleporting a mob to a player when they die, however the mob can't be teleported to a dead player either:

summon minecraft:armor_stand 0 1000 0 {CustomName:"deadplayer",NoAI:1b,NoGravity:1b,Invisible:0b,Invulnerable:1b}

tp @e[name=deadplayer] @e[score_deaths=1]
function graves:playerdied unless @e[name=deadplayer,x=0,y=1000,z=0,r=5]
kill @e[name=deadplayer]

function graves:playerdied:

execute @e[name=deadplayer] ~ ~ ~ summon minecraft:armor_stand

This does the exact same thing, spawning the armorstand in the player when they click respawn, but not at their death point.

How can I spawn an armorstand or execute commands at the death point of a player, not where they respawn?


texts: Use raw json in Command attribute (/setblock)

texts:
So, I'm making a machine in a minecraft server that detects if someone is holding a cake named Flying Cake and then make them be able to fly. It was working perfectly, until I realized plugin's commands can't use selectors. This is a problem because the /fly command cannot detect which player to toggle flight.

So far I have this command: execute if entity @a[distance=..10,nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"minecraft:cake",tag:{display:{Name:"\"Flying Cake\""}}}}]

And this one: setblock ~2 ~ ~ command_block{Command:""}

What I'm trying to do is make the second command block set the next command block to /fly (player) enable. To do that, you need to get raw JSON in the {Command:""}. I will be using: [{"text":"fly "},{"selector":"@a[distance=..10,nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"minecraft:cake",tag:{display:{Name:"\"Flying Cake\""}}}}]"},{"text":" enable"}]

Is this possible?

texts: How can I purchase resources from other cities?

texts:
Purchasing resources from other cities in the region seems to be key in the most recent SimCity.  Obviously, my first city had to be self-sufficient, but then when I built my second city, I was able to just purchase the power/water/sewage treatment from my first city, and just upgrade these services in my first city as the second city expanded.  However, when I tried to do this when my third city, it doesn't seem to be working.

You can see from the screenshot below, that even though there seems to be power available from Monet Plateau (my first city), my third city doesn't seem to be making use of any of that (and it definitely does need it - this happens to be why the city button is highlighted yellow).  Any idea why this might be occurring?  Could it be some sort of bug? I, like everyone, am having connection issues.

I've already done the one jump to get the antimatter blueprint, but had a bit of trouble picking out my "home" system. Luckily, I had renamed the system, so after a bit of trial and error, I located where I wanted to return to.

texts:
I have both a tablet and cell phone with Clash of Clans installed.  When I originally began the game it was on my tablet (before you could link to Google).  Later I installed it on my phone, by then you could link to Google, which I did.  Then I went back to the tablet and tried to link to Google, but it keeps wanting to load my new village from my phone.  Even after unlinking from Google on my phone install it does the same thing.

How can I make the Google account forget about the version on my phone? So, I can then link the progressed village from my tablet, and re link the phone so I have both devices with the same version of my village (and I assume then update properly no matter what device I play on).

I would prefer not having to setup another Google account.

texts:
Sometimes I activate the Protectron in Corvega Assembly plant, go to the side of the room and sneak as I watch it attack raiders. Then, all of a sudden, it would turn and start attacking me. Sure, sometimes I had tried to help it by firing a few shots, and maybe it saw that as being bad, but other times during the entire duration of it being active I don't use any weapons and just try to hide off to the side.

The strange part is it doesn't always happen, either. There are good odds it will not attack me unless I attack it first, but sometimes it seems to just decide it doesn't like me and attacks. Why is does it sometimes attack me?


texts: Minecraft 1.16.5 - Teleport a player to a given location if on given coordinates

texts:
I already tried this link and many other, but it doesn't work. I think it's because I use a newer version and the commands are not the same.

I want to teleport every player to 83 15 -177 if he is on the block 171 14 169
I already tried these commands:

/execute @a[x=-71,y=14,z=169] run tp @p 83 15 -177
this command won't work because first you have to put after the /execute a subcommand
/execute at @a[x=-71,y=14,z=169] run tp @p 83 15 -177 here it teleports me all the time

Can someone give the command that it only will tp me if im on the above given coordinates for the version 1.16.5?


texts: Do detection percentages on simultaneous node hacks stack?

texts:
I only recently learned that you can hack nodes simultaneously and have yet to test this out properly.

Before you are detected and the countdown begins, does hacking two or more nodes simultaneously stack their detection chances? E.g. If I hack two nodes that have a 45% detection chance at the same time:

Does that bump it up to a near-certain 90%?
Does it increase it by some other amount to make it more likely but not so difficult?
Does it remain at the highest individual rating (45% here)?

It would make pre-detection hacking necessarily slower and more careful if they do stack...

texts:
When viewing the leader board after a team fortress game, it shows the points earned by players during the time that each player has scored since connecting to the server (unless the map is changed, at which point the leader board is usually reset).

My question is then: Is there a way to view the statistics and points earned by players only during the last game?

Even though Super Stimpaks do a great job of healing — and 24 HP/sec for three seconds is pretty good, no question — they actually end up damaging the player after a while
Any status effects that are active get wiped away when a Super Stimpak is applied

Which of these two is right? Or is the right answer some other thing entirely? In the unlikely event that it matters: I'm playing the 360 version.

texts:
The following is under the trivia section of the Axtinguisher page on the TF2 wiki:

  Although Pyros and Demomen using the Chargin' Targe are resistant to afterburn, they can be crit by the Axtinguisher if the hit connects before resistance takes effect.

Now, I know how to inflict critical damage against these opponents with the flare gun: simply hold down M1 (keeping hold of the button), and scroll down.

This works, apparently, because the nature of particle-based weapons mean that fire particles linger for a short period after being fired, during which time the enemy is counted as being "on fire" (I don't have a source for this, but remember reading it somewhere).

However, when I try doing the same thing with the Axtinguisher (using the melee key, as opposed to scrolling down), no inflicted critical hit occurs.

Now, why does this not work for the Axtinguisher? The same conditions are met, so surely I should inflict critical damage (from behind).

More importantly, how can I get this to work?

I've tried it on tr_walkway with stationary Pyros, and the Degreaser-Axtinguisher combo doesn't work.

I have noticed, however, that if an ally continuously blasts an enemy pyro with his flamethrower, and I, during that time, hit the enemy with the Axtinguisher from behind, it will score a critical hit.

Is there any way I can Axtinguish Pyros (and Charge Demoknights) without the help of an ally Pyro?

texts: What is the strongest fixed location equipment you can obtain at Level 1?

texts:
This question will help for two projects, one being a No-Leveling challenge, and the other being for any new game I start to help raise respective skills.

To clarify, what I'm looking for are items that can be obtained with

little to no skill use (Lockpicking and Sneak excluded)
No perks required
No quest completion (starting quests is fine)
No difficult kills (eg killing a Dragon Priest, avoidable fights are fine)

I'm specifically seeking

High base damage
High base defense
High use speed (fast bows, fast weapons)
Useful abilities can be used as tiebreakers

Note: Due to the nature of this question, mixing and matching to get the best out of what you're working with is encouraged as perks for matching sets or all light or heavy armor and such do not apply.  So if say only a piece of Heavy Armor gauntlets can be found that is stronger than the gauntlets of the strongest set you can find, that is worth noting.

I will post my own answer including the items I know of and their values.

texts: Can you beat Mangar without the special trick? (early game minor spoiler)

texts:
Fairly early on in The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows' Deep, you get into a boss-fight style brawl with Mangar.

He has a lot of HP, armour and spell power, but

   a guest character, Aduin, has a special banishment spell that needs five turns to charge up, allowing him to nuke Mangar if you just survive that long, at the cost of burning up his capacity for magic permanently.

However, during my recent playthrough I was doing surprisingly well against Mangar conventionally -- a 2H fighter cracked his armour down to zero, two spellcasters that could smack his Mental defenses every time he tried to meditate to recover HP, and AoE attacks to keep the totem spam manageabl -- and I can't help but feeling that it might have been possible to win that fight without resorting to the spoiled gimmick.

Is that in fact possible, and does it change the outcome WRT

   Aduin

texts: Can I have two Rotoms with the same forme on the same team?

texts:
According to this question, if Rotom is possessing an appliance when traded, Rotom reverts to its original forme, and the appliance returns to the Rotom's Room.

Is it possible to have, for example, two Frost Rotoms (two Rotoms both possessing a refrigerator) on the same team somehow, without cheating?


texts: How does the Unchained's talent, 'Dissipate' stack with the Block Cost Reduction property?

texts:
The Unchained's level 20 talent, Dissipate is described in-game as:

  Block cost is reduced by 50% when Overcharged and blocking attacks vent Overcharge.

How does this stack with the 'Block Cost Reduction' property in melee weapons and necklaces? e.g., If I already have 30% Block Cost Reduction from a necklace, how will this stack with Dissipate? What will my total block cost reduction be?


texts: Every once in awhile when I sneak up on someone and melee them to get the extra points, it takes more than one hit, is this because of the gun i'm using? Or is it because of where i'm hitting? Or just the game's collision detection?


texts:
Well, I had Mr. Handy on the 1st floor and it seems he was killed - but there is no body on the floor. I restarted the game, but still - nothing I could revive.
Do you have any idea how to get him back?


texts: Y position for player to be considered inside radius of Lingering Potions?

texts:
From Minecraft Wiki:

  The cloud starts with a radius of 3 blocks, decreasing to 0 over the course of 30 seconds. During the time the cloud is there, any player or mob that walks into it after the first second will get the corresponding status effect; this decreases the radius by 0.5 block immediately, causing the cloud to disappear more quickly.

At most how high should a player be (the player's Y position) from the cloud of Lingering Potion in order to be considered inside the radius, thus getting the effect?


texts: Where can you store Pokémon in Black and White?

texts:
I seem to have misplaced my shiny Litwick in Pokémon White. I've looked through all my boxes, checked with the breeding couple, and checked the dreamworld, but I can't seem to find him anymore.

Can we get a list of where that Pokémon could have gone to, and a way to confirm/check if it's there if possible?


texts: Optimal probe configuration and strategy for scanning?

texts:
I read that recently the scanning mechanics changed and that now more than four probes count for calculating the signal strength. Before, the optimal configuration for probes was obviously a tetraeder, but with more than four probes now it gets more complicated.

What is the optimal probe configuration now that you can use more than four probes? How does this change the optimal scanning strategies?
