texts: In the early game Great Prophets function nicely to create and enhance religions. However, later on, I find their effect on religion entirely overpowered. They can be used to convert entire cities, and the AI usually goes for my holy cities and those that benefit greatly from beliefs I have chosen specifically with those cities in mind. A city of millions of people in 1960s just drops the religion they've been following for a couple of thousand years and completely converts. So the question is, is there a mod for great prophets that prevents this from happening?


texts:
I was playing Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge, recently, and I experienced something strange. My slave miner was killed, and I'm not really sure how it happened. The other slaves were considered neutral and gray.

The only teams were green and me, on red, versus light blue and pink. The AI was set to medium difficulty.

After playing Yuri's Revenge for years, I have never seen anything weirder than this. What could have happened to kill my slave miner?


texts: Why does Commander Shepard never call in a tactical airstrike?

texts:
I've been replaying Mass Effect lately, and I recently noticed something:
 Commander Shepard is a naval officer in charge of a (presumably armed) warship.

This is significant because there are a lot of surface missions where the obvious solution to fights where the Mako is outgunned is "radio Joker and have the Normandy bomb/strafe the crap out of the [Geth base/thresher maw/mercenary camp/whatever]."  And yet he never does.  Here he is, with what everyone keeps calling one of the most advanced ships in the fleet... and he treats it as nothing more than a bus.


texts:
I noticed something strange today. Immediately after I successfully assaulted a holding, my warscore dropped about 10 percentage points. I figured it may had something to do with my losses, so I reloaded and just let the siege wait it out untill I won — however, the result was still the same. Shouldn't I earn warscore for kicking ass?

Secondly, I think in EU3, you would gain much more warscore for capturing capitals. Is this still the case? I've read that you get 75% more warscore for holding all your objective wargoals.

As a bonus question, what do you find is the usual point at which an enemy accepts defeat? I heard a warscore of 80% is a good rule of thumb, but I've had a warscore of 97% and the enemy was still extremely reluctant (four minuses) and though "things are going my way", even though I had held a lot of his holdings for five years and won every single battle.


texts: Self-hosted Minecraft server is accessible for some players, but not others?

texts: I've got a Windows 10 PC hardwired into my router with a reserved local IP and port forwarding for port 25565 to that IP as well as UDP ports 25565 and 19132 - 19133. I've set up dynamic DNS since I don't have a static IP, but my IP hasn't changed since I setup the server. My kids are able to connect via the host name from our home wifi and we had another player able to play from his house for a while. We tried to bring in more friends, but none of them can connect. All are getting a timeout error. If I plug the address in mcsrvstat.us it says it's reachable and can accurately tell me how many players are logged in. I've also had them test they can make outbound calls on port 25565 using portquiz.net and it's fine. I'm not sure what else I should be looking for to debug the connection problem.

texts: Situations Where Demon Hunter would Be Better with Enchantress/Scoundrel as Follower

texts:
I'm slowly playing solo only Diablo 3 and just had the option to have the Scoundrel be my companion.  Right now I'm pretty happy with having the Templar since he is acting as the melee part of my party.

However, it dawned on me that perhaps I'm being too close minded about this and perhaps I should also start leveling the Scoundrel (and/or the Enchantress once I get her).  Without spoiling anything, are there cases/situations where it would help to have two ranged attackers instead of just me playing the ranged Demon Hunter and having the Templar act as a tank?


texts: Custom Minecraft music randomly stopping

texts:
I'm making a custom boss set for my Minecraft server and as such I've decided to include some epic battle music. I've managed to get the music into the resource pack, and the sounds work and play in game, however between five to twenty seconds into the song it suddenly cuts off and stops playing. As far as I can tell there's no actual reason for it doing this as it seems to do it at random intervals in the song. I've tried turning down the volume parameter or changing the position the sound spawns at but to no avail. Nothing shows up in the console when the sound is stopped.

The command I'm using is as such:

/playsound minecraft:music.hellofatime master @a[distance=..200] 696916 27 -697075 9999 1

It works fine, but after a while it simply cuts off.
I've seen other posts with a similar question be told to change all of the vanilla music files to an empty file (I just used half a second of silence as the files) and I've done that, but it'd didn't seem to help.

What's interesting is that this doesn't happen on my singleplayer worlds. Could this possibly have anything to do with me not having the resource pack on the server (I'm going to update it into the server config later) but instead using a client-side one?

I'm really not sure what to do, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

texts: (Minecraft Java 1.14) How are bossbars ordered, and can I make sure one of them always stays at the top?

texts:
I want to write a datapack which has several different features which use bossbars. I need one of the bossbars to always be at the top of the list onscreen, so the one highest on the screen, while others come and go, possibly quickly or possibly slowly (they will show the health of mobs the player is looking at).

I thought that bossbars were ordered alphabetically, but the wiki doesn't say. I don't want to have to name my bossbar "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA", so I was wondering if there is a way to use an invisible ASCII character or something else to ensure it is always at the top. I know that you can change the colors of bossbars too (to differentiate it anywhere in the list), but having it in the same position always would be great.

I can't test anything because I haven't had and won't have my computer for a while, so I don't necessarily need commands but just a method to solve this.

Is there any way to reshape blocks without breaking the wall behind them? Preferably without having to use a wooden hammer.

This has started happening since the 1.9+ releases. I'm not pressing any keys; I even did a test to see if it did it without me pressing any keys - it did it anyways. I counted and it has a delay of a minute and 15 seconds.

It doesn't have to do with breaking or placing blocks, whenever you do anything after the delay, even standing still doing nothing, you will still get the game menu. I have tried updating java and restarting. I don't have Google Chrome open or anything except the game and sometimes Firefox.

texts: How are we supposed to figure out the names of all the clusters?

texts:
The 9 to 5 article about the dashboard has the answers, and I felt foolish after I had some initial difficulty with the first one, so I spent way too much time trying to figure out the next one before giving up and asking an earlier question.

But all of the rest of them are basically impossible.

For the second one, the satellite information doesn't help at all and

   is a really just an obscure chemical where only the shape matters

For the third one, I don't know how anyone could figure it out:

   Except for maybe astronomers who are really good at knowing the shapes of all the constellations

The fourth one might be reasonable, but Wikipedia didn't have information about any of the ones I tried

The Fifth and sixth answers I'm quite familiar with, and I can't find any way to figure out how to figure them out.

Did google expect us to brute force the solutions somehow?


texts: Is there a way of reverting to a previous save?

texts:
This is actually an old problem for me that goes back to the 1.8 and 1.9 versions of Minecraft.

What happened was I logged into 1.9 and changed many of my old command blocks to the newer type.  The only problem was at the time I only had the 1.8 version of WorldEdit.  So I opened my now 1.9 world in 1.8.  This caused all the chunks with the new command blocks to be replaced with random new chunks, deleting all my command blocks.

I'm pretty good with command blocks but losing quite a few hours of work is a real pain in the neck.

It's  been a couple months since then and I only thought of fixing it now.  I find it unlikely, but I,d like to know if there is some way to revert back to a previous save in Minecraft?

I keep getting texts from Lester and others to buy an arcade, nightclub, etc. What are all these businesses and how do they work? They all seem really expensive to buy, so I don't want to blow all my money on one of them and then find out its useless. I only play 1-2 hours a night so I feel like its a big investment.

I've read some info online, but I'm not sure if people are changing the terminology and its the same thing, or they are talking about different things. It would be clearer I suppose if they ever mentioned HOW to buy any of these businesses - then I would know which is which. The other issue is that most of the info is pre-casino.

Do I pick one? Or can I do all of them at the same time? If I can do them all at the same time - which order should I buy them in to make it easiest to get them all?

So far I've seen mentions of:

Arena Wars
Arcade - needed for casino heist?
Apartment - needed to Setup Heists. Also for Living the Dream achievement.
Casino Luxury Penthouse - also needed to setup Casino Heist? Can it be used for other heists?
Nightclub
MotorCycle Gangs

Since patch 1.2 you've been able to permanently retain replays by default. My question is: do I have any control of where they're saved or am I forced to use SC2Gears for this purpose?

The need for this separation arises from SC2Gears apparent inability to exclude subfolders from replay sources or to save filter searches.

texts: Give player item(s) when player hits X amount of deaths

texts:
I'm making a game where you have to destroy the most blocks possible, but some blocks can kill you so if you die too many times or whatever the threshold is set to you get an item to give you advantage over other players. There will be a max of 4 people but i want them to each have their own death count so it gives the items to that specific person but the command block can't tell who died and when to give the item to them, which is why I am trying to set each player with a objective manually because I will be playing with my friends.

So far I have gotten to the phase of the commnd block, where it works by giving me the item, but the testfor I made keeps searching for me again because i still have those deaths counted. That's why i need to somehow then reset the objective, but I can't.

Basically I want to make it so when you die X amount of times you get some item(s) when you hit X deaths, but no matter how many times I try and add the proper console commands in some tutorial videos they don't work, example:

/scoreboard objectives add PlayerKills playerKillCount

Changing player kills to Deaths and playerKillCount to deathCount
then using this command in the actual command block:

/give @a [score_Deaths_min=1] iron_sword

I fixed the problem thanks i created different teams put the players on different teams then created objectives for each player and set them each to their deathCount and made everytime testfor found 5 deaths it reset the deaths and gave them items.


texts: How to Configure Applied Energistics To Increase Item Count to an Exact Value When Smelting?

texts:
Normally for my AE setups where items are required to be smelted (Rubber / Plastic) I like to create a buffer of items, so I have an exporter setup with a level emitter and an oven the says, if the amount of plastic is lower than X in the network, export rubber into the oven.

What normally happens is I end up with around 64 more than I want since they are all in the oven when the level emitter finally fires.  This works fine until the items are very expensive (Advanced Processor).  I don't want to use 64 more diamonds than I need.

How do I configure my network to always have 10 items in my buffer, and if it is less than 10, make the exact amount needed, accounting for the delay and internal buffer of the oven?

-- I'm currently doing this in Agrarian Skies.

I've checked the GameFAQs walkthrough and the Half Minute Hero wiki article on this quest. I've bought the shield in the middle of the map. I've cleared out all the caves. I've checked all towns. Yet, the game tells me I have equpiment incomplete for this quest. What am I missing?

One thing that comes to mind might be that I could get a different end-of-quest award if I somehow avoided getting the Bomber title and destroyed the rock protecting this boss the hard way. However, 25 seconds of smashing at it at maximum level while dashing wasn't enough to crack it. Perhaps I need special equipment to get this done?

Oftentimes, I will be playing and will see "[player] has disconnected" without even seeing that the player has connected in the first place.  The names are usually unfamiliar to me, though.   This leads me to believe that blocks are placed at the user account level, so blocking player JohnBoy will still result in MaryGirl being blocked if both characters are controlled by the same user account.

Can anyone confirm that this is why I will see that message?

I'm using Minecraft's Feed the Beast mod (Direwolf20 specifically), and I'm trying to start a new base to experiment with Thaumcraft.

How should I factor in an area's aura, flux, and surrounding aura nodes when building a base? I've built the goggles that allow you to see these features, but I'm not really sure how to rank the various aspects of the environment. Clearly, having a pure node sounds better than building near a dark node, but is it better to be near a pure node if the area's aura is low?


texts: Will dropping the real Amulet of Yendor before spellcasting prevent the extra energy drain?

texts: I've got the Amulet, and my character is a proficient spellcaster that does not have any quick ways to regain energy.  The wiki says that "carrying" the amulet incurs a 1 pt - 2n (n=spell energy cost) penalty.  If I'm careful to drop the amulet prior to casting, do I avoid this penaly? Or, is it based on the fact that I have retrieved it?


texts:
After getting the Writ to partake in the Dragon Hunt one of the quests you get given by Maximilian is to recapture a stronghold taken by goblins (The Shadow Fort).

After opening the gate, killing all the small fry goblins and almost killing one of the ogres/trolls (what ever those giants are) all the soldiers got killed and my quest updated to report my failure.

Now at first I thought this was what was supposed to happen however this was on the assumption that all quests were linear, I was corrected in this assumption in the quest Land Opportunity where one of my hired Pawn indicated I could just by the land rather than force the current tenants out, wanting to confirm I went back and found I could by the land for 80k.

So I am wondering, with the quest which saw me try and retake the shadow fort, was this supposed to have failed or did I screw up? If the latter what effect will this have on me later on down the line

texts: How do you upgrade auto slapper to level 2?


texts:
This match seems to be a tough one.  When you spawn, a few seconds later, a Mario with a Hammer spawns immediately above you and goes to where you are.  About 15? seconds later, a permanent giant DK spawns. The goal of the match is to defeat Peach.

The problem I have seen so far amongst my futile attempts is that the Peach will constantly run away from you.  The stage is definitely not fun at all, with tons and tons of platforms.  The DK seems to suffer no hitstun because he is giant, and as a result I get smashed around constantly by him, and the Mario is just the cherry on top.   Add all that, and you still have a time limit of only 2 minutes to get the job done or you automatically fail.

I've read a few guides online to deal with this but they just don't seem to work.  One of the tips was to use the Cupid soul assist to laser the Peach off with the Staff, but from my experience, I can only get 1-2 hits on the Peach (which while it does do 30-42%, it does a very minimal amount of knockback) before the Mario comes in with the hammer forcing me to either block and endure it, or retreat to the side or the top, where the side defeats the purpose of the staff, and the top gives me no line of sight to the Peach.     Another tip was to counter the Mario with Marth, then stealing the hammer, but for whatever reason I can't consistently steal the hammer; sometimes it'll drop, sometimes it'll just knock away the Mario before he continues hammering away.  And when the hammer does drop, it only last so long, and usually doesn't last long enough to knock the Mario or DK out of the stage.

So looking for some advice on beating Pauline. Kinda peeving me that her stage is the only one sitting there on the entire map, and for completion sake I'd love to just get it over with. I'm currently sitting on normal difficulty but I'd be open for tips for hard mode as well, since I plan on trying hard after I finish World of Light on Normal.


texts: Is it possible to connect an Xbox One wireless controller to the Xbox 360 wireless receiver for PC?

I'm considering getting some more, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea now that the Xbox one and its controller are out (meaning the 360 controller will be phased out soon and games might use a new XInput api that's incompatible with the 360 controller)

texts: How to get 65 Heartless in the magic carpet minigame?

texts:
I'm trying to complete Jiminy's journal entry where you need to kill 65 Heartless in the magic carpet minigame.

I always wind up at 62 or 63 kills. I think the missing Heartless are the Fat Bandits on the roofs. I found after some research that you're supposed to shoot other Heartless at them, but I can't seem to do that. The Heartless go crashing at random locations, but usually not at the Fat Bandit. If they do, it's not enough to kill him.

I got Fenrir, but I don't equip the Negative Combo ability, since it takes me much more time to kill the bats with it.

I'm playing the original PS2 game.


texts: Are eternity splinter drop rates different in different locations?

texts: I know that there is a timer for eternity splinter drops but I was wondering if drop rates vary for different locations. While splinters will drop every 8 minutes or so, the amount that drop can be changed by equipping items with a "special item find" increase. That makes me believe that there is a varying drop rate for eternity splinters, based on special item find percentage. Is there also a difference in drop rates (or rather, the number of splinters in a drop) based on location?

texts: Steam: Change Store Game Hover from Image to Description

texts:
A recent update made it so that when you hover over a game in the Steam Store (not ones like the "Popular new releases" or "Upcoming"), instead of giving a description of the game, it'll give you images. Sure, this is good if you want to see what it looks like, but personally I dislike it because:

-It uses up more internet and is slow to preview

-It can be redundant for, say, games in the store slideshow, which already shows pictures (Hovering over it shows the pictures in the hover box as well as in the preview)

-It doesn't provide a description of the game and story, which can be much more important

-For some games, you don't want the pictures to show...

So my question is simple: Is there a way to change it from showing images to showing the description?

An example is this:

Shine is the hitbox of Fox/Falco's reflector. Fire Fox is Fox's up special move.

Fox can shine a Fire Fox or Fire Bird (in the case of Falco) with good timing as it comes toward him. But can Falco shine Fire Fox or Fire Bird? I theorize yes because shining gives 1 frame of intangibility, but it could possibly not if Fire Fox always outprioritizes Falco's shine. In practise, I think maybe my timing is off, like it is with Fox's shine vs. Fire Fox/Bird.

I started playing Dream and I thought I had solved all the puzzles (of the current version) until I stumbled across the portal located in one of the cave in the desert. I played through the colored mazes  (greatly reminding the Antichamber atmosphere) and I finally found myself walking through an infinite corridor with text written on the wall at the end. Unfortunately every step I take drive this text away. There are colored rooms appearing randomly on the right and the left of the corridor as you walk past through it. As you know all these room always lead you back to the corridor.

I figured out this might be some sort of maze where you have to enter in the right colored room in a specific order in order to reach the end of the corridor, however everything i have tested so far hasn't worked.

Is there any way to reach the end ?

They lose on purpose because they either don't spawn anything, or cast spells on useless positions. It's also clear they are 'real' players because once you beat them they often taunt 'thanks!'. So I wonder, what's the reason for this? Is it because you get better chests if you come back from a losing streak or something?

So i almost feel embarrased to say that i got my butt handed to me by a computer on standard. From my previous experiences with Age of Empires i would've thought I stood a better chance, yet I found myself constantly dominated in every aspect of the game. The computer had control of almost every resource and any counter i threw at him was met with a smaller force that seemed to wreck my army. I feel like maybe my way of gathering resources was inefficient or the way maybe im building wrong.

I usually start out by putting my workers half and half with food and wood, then continue to spend the rest of my food on workers till i have a decent amount. It took me a while to get to Age 2 and even longer to get to Age 3 and I gave up after that. I had one barracks towards the end i built a second, an archery range, and some other building that builds healers. also I'm playing as the Celtics, and im level 6.

texts: When should I start a trans-munar or trans-minmus injection burn?

texts:
I've completed a few successful missions to Minmus, and have always had more than enough fuel to return safely to Kerbin; however, I feel that I could perform the transfer burns better than how I'm doing them now.  While it's hard to reduce my fuel load for the upper stages, reducing the delta-v requirement dedicated to the upper stages means I can afford to spend it earlier, meaning I can shed some fuel from my lower stages.  My current rocket design has a bit of a weight problem, so if I can cut just 2000 units of fuel, that would be great.

So, if using a Hohmann type transfer orbit, when should I start the burn in order to reduce the overall delta-v requirement (assuming my inclination is correct and that I initially orbit Kerbin at around 125km) for both Mun and Minmus?  Should I even bother with trying a low energy transfer, utilizing Mun to get to Minmus?

texts: Why did I encounter cards from a higher arena from my opponent?

texts: I was playing 1 v 1 in arena 5, but a player whose trophies are lower than mine put out a bomb tower card from arena 10? Is this possible? Is he really a hacker? We can't demote in arenas anymore, so how could this happen? And no, this card isn't a legendary.

Wasn't the Pandaren race some sort of joke originally?  I thought it was April 1 or something when I heard about the new WoW expansion, but alas, no.  I recall there being the Brewmaster in WC3, with what seemed at the time some half joking lore behind it.

Did the premise for this whole expansion just come out of nowhere or has it been building since then?

texts: Is there an easy way to tell what decisions I made in a Witcher 2 save game?

texts:
So I'm ready to play Witcher 3 and I have many save games from Witcher 2, but I can't remember which is which! I re-played so many parts to try the different paths.

I picked one at random and Geralt has a tattoo on his neck (I'd forgotten about that), but what else happened in that save? Who died? What's the political balance in the land? Iorveth or Roche?

Reinstalling Witcher 2 to check them out might be the go, but does anyone know if there are any other options? Wish Witcher 3 had given me a recap of those decisions when I was choosing which save file ~:)

texts: Civilization 4: Choosing between food and production for the game beginning and later

texts:
I'm still new in Civilization 4 and had a lot of questions about playing the game. I'm finding the game to be insanely complicated so please keep that in mind while giving your answer. If you use too much game jargon I won't understand. Thanks for your help in advance.

Question: I can't decide which one to focus on in the beginning - food or production? My choices don't seem to have any clear impact on the game. I have read in tutorials that food is consumed each turn but even if I sit idle and do nothing no one complains that there is no food. It seems there is always enough food. So what should I focus on in the beginning of the game and why?


texts: How can I keep NPC allies from randomly joining me in the middle of a map?

texts:
My understanding is that the game gets harder later, but right now in the early levels it's a total cakewalk. I don't bring any NPCs with me when I go to a dungeon, but they automatically pop in along the way as I go and by the time I hit the final boss, I've got 2 or 3 NPCs in my party, making the fight something I can pretty much just sit back and watch.

Is there any way I can keep the NPCs from joining my party?


texts: How do I see what quest I haven't completed yet?

texts:
I can't get the reset quests button to show up on my wizard, which means there is a quest I haven't completed yet.  However, when I go to game settings, it allows me to choose every quest in every act which kind of implies I've done them all.

The only resource I can find is the Quest Aggregator, which says I haven't killed Belial yet, but I have, many times.  However the quest reset button just isn't there.

What am I missing?  How do I see which quest is still marked as incomplete?

I know how to do the power 4 and punch 7 part by using the command /give @p bow 1 0 {ench:{[id:48,lvl:4],[id:49,lvl:7]}}.
Is there a tag that allows you to set how many uses the item has?

The Repair Facility provides the following bonus:

  +10% Production for Land Units

But that leaves me wondering does that cover non-military units like the worker or colonist.  The colonist is unique in that it stops food production, so if there is any exception to the production bonus the colonist would be it.

Does the Repair Facility's "+10% Production for Land Units" apply to colonists and all non-combat land units?


texts:
Is it just me or the fonts are looking somewhat glitchy for some reason?

For example: In the following screenshot, the letters especially i and captial S and M doesn't appear to be smooth.

In the subtitles, the letters g and c are appearing odd with an extra spacing.

On the other hand, the game runs smooth at 60 fps and in game textures are just fine. I have tried to change various video settings and screen resolutions with no luck. So, I am guessing is this graphics card dependent or is there something else I might need to change?


texts: How does experience and gold work in multiplayer, and how can I maximize gain?

texts: What constitutes a "p"? Is it the same as experience? Do I get experience/gold from killing an inkling? (How much? Does that amount change?) Do I get experience for covering ground if it is re-covered by the enemy? Do I get the same amount of experience for covering the enemy's paint as for covering none? I know walls don't count for winning the match, but do they count for experience/coins? Are there any weapons or items that increase coin/experience gain? Basically, how does scoring in multiplayer work?

texts: What are the exact requirements to complete the "Remorse" achievement?

texts:
I was wondering how to complete this challenge, and I saw from ChrisHateZ answer to a similar question that you need to:

   "...transport this postcard over your whole journey in the cave to return it right at the end.

Since this method is obviously tedious, I'm wondering if it would not also be possible to:

   Leave the postcard on the ground somewhere in the lobby, then return it to the rack right at the end of the game.

Does my proposed alternative method work?  Essentially the question boils down to whether the achievement is tied to the final object interaction, or whether it is tied to a process of steps that have to be taken in a specific order.  I'm also interested if the steps for the "Shoplifting" achievement must be completed on the same run as the "Remorse" achievement.

Given the very long period of time it takes to get this achievement, it would be very helpful to me if someone could confirm the exact requirements before I attempt it.

texts: Efficient design for a self regulating villager breeder?

texts: I'm playing on a SMP server and would like to begin a villager trading industry.  I've looked at lots of designs for villager breeders that can be started easily (no nearby villages, so I'll have to cure zombies) but have been unable to find one that shuts off after a certain threshold of villagers is reached.  If possible, I would like it to be fully automatic, but minimal interaction is ok.  Basically, the goal is to have a "pool" of villagers that I can draw from at any time, ensuring that when I go through many in short succession I don't have to wait for breeding.  To prevent excessive lag, this "pool" should be kept fairly small (20-40) at all times.


texts: Can't download Minecraft for Windows 10 on new computer

I recently got a new computer, and wanted to play with friends through Minecraft for Windows 10, but I can't figure out how to download it. Whenever I go to the game "Minecraft for Windows 10" it says I don't own it; when I go to the game titled as "Minecraft", it says I own it.
But when I click on 'Install on my devices', I get a pop-up saying

  It looks like you don't have any applicable device(s) linked to your

texts:
I today purchased two Xbox 360 Wireless Headsets (black, if you must know) for each controller that I have: one is Wired, the other is Wireless.

I went to go sync them with my Xbox and the first one went great. I was able to select the Ring of Light my Wireless controller was on and I could speak and hear normally.

The wired controller, however, was different. Completely following the instructions word-for-word, I signed in and everything. I turned on the Wireless Headset and tried to select Quadrant 2, however the headset would skip over that quadrant as if the wired controller already had a headset connected to it.

Has anyone else had this problem mixing and matching a wired controller with a wireless headset? According to many message boards I've read on this topic, this should be possible.

EDIT I've tried all the suggested troubleshooting steps and still nothing.

EDIT2 I've tried to connect the headset first, but once I try to connect the Wired controller, it knocks the headset off that Ring of Light until you hit the Connect button on the headset again, whereby it'll just default to 3rd and 4th quadrants (skipping over 1st and 2nd).

EDIT3 Any other suggestions out there?

Mouse wheel allows to zoom in/out but not get me into the first person view but rather behind and slightly to the right of the character. The command animcam locks me at a certain distance, doing it again brings me back into the mode that I'm stuck in third person view. Hitting F after this doesn't work. tfc doesn't help me either, although that command is nice to take screenshots...

texts:
I've finished Disgaea 5 and have been playing post-game missions. I have already

   obtained Majorita and Void Dark as my allies.

And I'm not sure if there is something else I am supposed to do. There are two things I haven't done yet:

Obtain Asagi
Beat Baal
Play the DLC scenarios

Clearly beating Baal will be of the last things I will do, and besides it doesn't seem like part of the main storyline anyway.

I'm guessing that the DLC scenarios will just be spinoff stages that don't really add up to the story so far.

Have I finished all of the post-game storyline missions?

I remember that Disgaea 4 had a post-game timeline where you played as Vulcanus, Fuka and Desco, and I think Disgaea 3 also had a post-game timeline. Is there one for Disgaea 5 too?


texts: Are there any cheats in single-player MGS V allowing you to unlock weapons or level up your Mother Base teams?

texts: Basically, I've finished the game, done all the missions (some of them 2 or 3 times), the side ops, and almost all of the replay missions that pop up later on. Even so, I'm only at R&D level 45, still really far away from meeting the R&D team requirements for a lot of weapons and items (level 60 being the highest, I think). I'd like to play around with those items, but I'm not going to just grind the missions over and over (and over) to get them. I'm not interested in playing online, so an offline-only solution or a save-game file would be fine. It seems as if the R&D requirements are calibrated for a longer game, which MGS V is rumored to have been before it was rushed out the door by Konami. So is there a file I can edit or something to either just unlock those weapons and items immediately, or a way to edit my R&D team level?

I am working off of the original disc and not a downloaded and compiled zip (as available on some abandonware sites). The version on the disc installs as v1.00

Was it explained in-game and I simply missed it?  I did complete the game so I couldn't have missed too much.  But

For starters:
Who am I (the main character)?
How did I get to Myst?
Where am I from?

Do I need to continue playing/revisit all the worlds after completing the game to answer these questions?  Or is it just left to the imagination?

Today I met Terramorphous' Wormhole thresher attack. It is not pleasant; we took constant damage, were unable to move fast enough to escape the pull of the vortex (he pulls you in like a wormhole thresher) and he didn't summon any tentacles. His attack animation (and the gravity pull) stopped just after our Fight for your Life timers started to run out (it was extremely long, a minute or two), and with no tentacles to kill for second winds we all quickly died.

Is there anything we can do to avoid/escape from his blackhole attack? "Die and pray for a tentacle to kill" didn't work so well.

texts: So do NPCs' on-person inventories respawn after you've pickpocketed them?

texts:
I'm going to try to be as specific as possible (because I saw this question: Do the inventories of NPCs respawn with new goodies after you've pickpocketed them?):

I am talking only about Skyrim and I simply want to know if NPCs respawn pickpocketed items.

I am also not talking about pickpocketing new NPCs that have respawned in cleared dungeons and such.  I'm just focused on the question of pickpocketing NPCs that I left alive after I robbed them and whether or not they respawn items.

I googled around and I can't get a straight answer:

Followers never respawn
Followers DO respawn (especially after waiting)
Named NPCs never respawn
The opposite of that.
Named NPCs respawn if you leave one item on them.
Named NPCs respawn if you take everything.
Generic NPCs do or don't respawn, if you do or don't leave an item on them.
Specific followers/named NPCs/generic NPCs respawn items according to hidden rules that Bethesda made up that no one can figure out.

I simply want to know which one of these statements is true.

I tried watching and it was very strange to me because early on in the game, it seemed like they never respawned items no matter how long I waited.  Later on (I had leveled up to about 30) it seemed like they DID respawn items if I waited.

Please help?  I am very confused.


texts: How to actually jump bridge in Pocket Edition?

texts:
In Bedrock Edition, we can bridge by placing blocks in front of us that seems like scaffolding, and the most prominent from them is the MJ bridge, but I want to find ways on doing jump bridging.

So since this is how we will go about, how to properly do the jump bridge on Mobile? It's quite hard and I don't know how to master it.

I'm resuming story on Suffer with me. I don't believe I've started this mission before finishing with the game the other day. When choosing to Resume Campaing I'm immediately in the intro to the mission. Skipping that places me on the boat.

How do I get out of that so that I can change loadout from default? If I choose "Save and quit", then go back to campaing - after clicking resume I'm back to intro and then loop starts.

Option to rewind is available on "Fallen Angel", so I lose all StrikeForce missions progress.

I am an absolutely massive Metal Gear Solid fan, and naturally own the 4th edition of the series - Guns of the Patriots. I found out there was online to it, and got very excited, until I realized I had to patch it. The HTTP download of the online patch does not start downloading after several minutes, and the P2P option is incredibly slow, with rates around 0.1kb/s. Is there any other way to patch the game? Is the online even up still? Konami is reporting to be be online, but it doesn't seem to be.

The Metal Gear Online website has proved useless for information on this topic, or any support.


texts: How is the amount of battle points earned at the end of the game counted?

texts:
In PUBG, you are rewarded with Battle Point (BP) every match you play.

There seems to be a couple of factors that decide how much you receive:

Position
Damage done
Kills

But how are they mixed to give that final number of points you earn? Are there other criteria tracked?

EDIT: From personal experience, this seems to be the rule:

20pts per player kill
1pt per 4 damage done (making 20for a full kill, might include damage to vehicules)
Placement seems to be exponential, starting at about 50 for placements over 60-70, and about 800 for a chicken dinner
There might be something else at play, making the amount of points variable... maybe time survived?

Nothing here is exact or even confirmed, so thats why I'm not throwing it in as an answer.
