texts: Ask for pin when switching profiles on XBox-one?

texts:
My (adult) Xbox profile has 3 years of game pass ultimate on it. I’ve set up a Microsoft Family profile/account for my 7 yo son in order to white-list games I would like him to be able to play via my game-pass privileges — like ‘Minecraft’, ‘Roblox’, and ‘Totally Reliable Delivery Service.’
It appears the only way he can use my game-pass privileges is to have my profile signed in at all times and then ‘switch profile’ to his.
I’ve configured my profile to prompt for a passkey/PIN every time I sign-in, but once signed in, my 7 yo can easily ‘switch profile’ back to mine and have access to games not appropriate for his age.
Is there a way I can have the Xbox One prompt for a password or pin when switching profiles?
-- Update --
I just added 'Screen time' to my son's profile and just as I feared, as soon as his time ran out he immediately switched his profile to mine to circumvent the time limit. I can't even screen time-limit my profile as a work-around because that feature is not available for adult profiles.


texts: Does razor's static link reduce damage from Ursa's Fury Swipes?

texts:
So say Ursa has 100 basic physical damage, and level 4 Fury Swipes (so adding 30 damage per attack), and say Razor uses his static link on Ursa for a few seconds and drains, for the sake of this example, 200 damage.

When Ursa right clicks Razor, Razor will not suffer the 100 basic damage, but does the 30 extra damage per attack still apply? Or does it still stack and then apply one it's exceeded the drained damage i.e. the first attack will add 30 damage (so 130 total, still less than 200 drained so no damage applied), the second will add 60, the third 90, and then the fourth will add 120, meaning 220 damage total, meaning razor will suffer 20 damage (to be diminished by armour etc)?


texts: What Does the 'Forgeborn Fireheart' Skill Do?

texts:
The description for the Forgeborn Fireheart ability is as follows:

texts:
In Surviving Mars at the start of the game you can pick one of nine mysteries (or let the game choose for you at random).

As each mystery is an event chain with potentially vastly different rewards (though, so far, I've only noticed a single meaningful decision in them), I'd like to collect a brief overview over each mystery.

What is the basic story of each mystery, what decisions can you make and what is the final reward?

I would like to revoke their county titles and then pass the duchies off to fellow Norwegians. But.... do duke's retain titles with no land?

The way I see it, if I revoke their duchy titles, they'll still be counts under my new dukes, if I revoke their counties I don't want them revoking counties from my soon to be newly appointed counts. I want them gone, and I don't really want to revoke 4 titles when there's a chance I only have to revoke 1 title each of them.

texts: Does saturation increase before or after hunger?

texts:
Saturation is a hidden value that is like a second hunger bar.

Most foods that you'll be eating constanly (meat, bread etc, but not watermelon) give you more saturation than hunger, but saturation can never be higher than your current food level.

This means that if I have 10 food, and 0 saturation, and I eat something that gives me 0 food and 20 saturation (doesn't actually exist) I'll only end up with 10 food and 10 saturation.

When I eat a food that gives me both, will I gain the food first, and then saturation, or the saturation first and then the food? That is, if I have 10 hunger and 0 saturation and eat something worth 10 and 20, will I end up with 20/10 or 20/20?

If I gain the saturation first, it makes it more important to constantly top off my hunger, if I want to use it most effectively, instead of waiting until I'm really low and then refilling with a couple of pieces of food.

texts: Is a computer that runs Civ V reasonably well generally good enough to run Civ: Beyond Earth?

texts:
I've always liked the Civilization series (although it seems to have gone off on a little bit of a tangent in the last couple of titles), and I was wondering if a computer that can run Civilization V reasonably well can generally be trusted run Civilization: Beyond Earth well enough to probably buy it.  This question is not tied down to a specific computer with a specific set of hardware, but it's about a more general case.

By running Civ 5 reasonably well, I mean that it's not top-of-the-line, but it's far from bottom-of-the-line.  Assume the same for Empire: Total War, Shogun: Total War 2, and Skyrim.  They would all play well, but just nothing spectacular.

It looks like it would be able to run the game well enough for it to be good, but I just wanted confirm this.  I know there should be a little bit less performance when running Civ: BE, but if the difference isn't too much, it should still be playable.

Amazon had this list of system requirements for Civ BE:

Minimum System Requirements:

    -Supported OS: Windows Vista SP2/7
    -Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 64 2.0 GHz
    -Memory: 2 GB RAM
    -Graphics: 256 MB ATI HD3650 or better, 256 MB nVidia 8800 GT or better, or Intel HD 3000 or better integrated graphics
    -DirectX: Version 11
    -Hard Drive: 8 GB available space
    -Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c‐compatible sound card
    -Additional Notes: Other Requirements: Initial installation requires one-time Internet connection for Steam authentication; software installations required (included with the game) include Steam Client, Microsoft Visual C++2012 Runtime Libraries and Microsoft DirectX.

Recommended System Settings:

    -OS: Windows Vista SP2 / 7

    -DirectX: Version 11
    -Hard Drive: 8 GB available space
    -Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c‐compatible sound card

and 2K has this list for Civ V:

Official Civilization V Minimum Requirements

    CPU: Intel Core2 Duo @ 1.8GHz / AMD Athlon X2 64 @ 2.0GHz
    Memory: 2.0GB
    Video Card: nVidia GeForce 7900GS / ATi HD2600 XT / Intel Core i3 integrated graphics

To me, they look fairly comparable, but I could use another set of eyes.

texts: civilization 5 domination victory capturing capitals

texts:
So I was reading the in-game help on how to achieve a domination victory, and I got a little confused.

It said something about the last civilization possessing their original capital is the winner. Something about "if you capture 3 of your enemies capitals, and the 5th player sneaks in and captures your capital while you're not looking, they are the winner and not you."

This makes sense except it counteracts what I thought I had learned from playing the game. I thought that you couldn't capture a civilization's capital unless you had captured all their cities first? But maybe it's that you can't capture their LAST capital unless you had captured all their cities first?

Kind of a civ newb, thanks for the help.

texts: How to import single player minecraft world into server folder

texts:
I've tried the usually suggested method of copying minecraft world from "saves" folder in ".minecraft" but Bukkit didn't recognize the world was even there. The world works. I've tested it a little in single player (the reason being it is 30k x 30k in map size). I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong (of course). I created the world from World Painter 2.4.1 and exported to Minecraft with unedited world (will paint it later when I know it works). I'm running and playing the server from localhost with default port. I ran and played the server with default world several times so I know the server works as it should. I'm playing Minecraft 1.12.2 (to let you all know I'm playing new version of Minecraft). I'm running server with 4 plugins, "Multiverse-Core" and the three Multiverse portal plugins.

With all this here. I've noticed the default world had "uid.dat" and mine didn't. If this is related to my issue, may someone please shed some light on it.

How does experience work in groups of heroes with different levels?

I know that, if you're playing with a character who's significantly higher level than you, you receive a penalty to XP gained from killing monsters. But how big does the difference need to be to kick in?
I've seen 5 levels kicked around, but I haven't been able to find any credible source for the information.
Here's a question from a developer Q&A mentioning the penalty, but no specifics:

Guest-236: If i am higher level then my freinds and want to play with them, will there be any kind of handicap? for example will they get less exp
JasonBender: To Guest-236 There is an XP penalty for killing monsters too high/low in level relative to your character. It scales based on your level, so at lower levels you can fight a broader range of creatures. This is good because player levels tend to be farther apart earlier in the game.

Two questions in one here guys, let me know if better to split them out:

If Batrider has ult'd someone and lasso'd them, under what circumstances does the lasso break? I ask as on various occasions I've seen it break, but it appears to be inconsistent, so wondering how that works. One example I've seen is if Bat uses a force-staff it can break, but sometimes it doesn't break.
If Batrider has applied stacks of sticky napalm to a hero, and then the hero takes damage from his firefly AoE ability - does the firefly DPS increase with napalm stacks? For example - if Bat has level 1 firefly (20 DPS) and level 1 sticky napalm (extra 10 damage), then does a hero with 1 stack of sticky napalm take 30 DPS or 20?

Thanks!


texts: Is there an issue with installing The Darkness II to the hard drive?

texts:
When trying to install the Xbox 360 version of The Darkness II, to the hard drive, the system does nothing and the game never gets installed.

The install appears to start, but the screen stays at the Installing screen at 0% progress indefinitely, all while showing the spinning wait symbol. I left it for 30 minutes and no change was made, and tried again multiple times. Attempting to then exit out back the Xbox Home fails, and cancelling the install also fails. The only option other than turning the system off that I could find, is to hit the Guide button and start the game itself, or starting another game. The game does play fine so far, and the disc doesn't appear to be scratched in any way.

I did update the game to the latest release when starting it directly from the disc, but that didn't change anything. Is there any fix for this hard drive intall problem, or is this a limited problem with an unknown resolution?

texts: How can I effectively run away from hostile creatures?

texts:
So, I have been playing quite a bit of The Secret World over the weekend and have worked my way through the main story line in Kingsmouth.

I have noticed two things. First is that when I run into something that can squash me, usually by accident, I have a very hard time getting away. Second is that you can not kite a creature too far in a single direction with out its health being instantly restored and it returning to where it came from.

What I would like to know is how I can combine these. Clearly there is a distance I can get away from a creature in order to run away but when I am truly trying to run away I have never been able to get the creatures to break off of me.

Is there some logic that is keeping them chained on to me because they know they are going to do me in as opposed to when I am kiting them and winning they will eventually give up? Is it time based instead of distance maybe? I just can not figure this out.


texts: Trying to figure out a way to get a redstone signal from an empty hopper minecart

texts:
Essentially, I want a hopper minecart to stop moving once it's empty. I have a straight line of rail, with a block at each end, and rails all along it such that the minecart bounces back and forth between the ends. My current plan of attack is to have the powered state of the powered rail at one of the ends change based on the output of a detector+comparator+signal inverter, like so:

The issue I run into is that the comparator+signal inverter has no way to differentiate between an empty minecart and no minecart at all: both result in it outputting nothing. I tried some sort of weird observer+detector rail thing a few blocks before the comparator detector, and then added an extra piston circuit such that the output of the comparator would only be considered when the minecart was over it, but couldn't get the timings to line up. It looked like this:

I'm all out of ideas, any suggestions?

I keep getting notifications about friends who wants me to reply to their Spacebook messages. However, I can't get rid of them, even if I write them new messages.

One is a crazy ex-girlfriend, whom I've messaged with extensively, another is one of my good friends. Every day I get a -10 penalty to relationship, since I've neglected to reply to their messages. The ex can be ignored, but I have to hang out with this other dude every day to negate the penalty ... and he still wants me to reply to some message. Gosh, what is his problem? Having friends and doing friend things suck!

I read all messages. I've also deleted every message, so if there is some hidden "reply" button, I guess it can no longer be used after I deleted said message.

Is this a bug, hidden feature, or do I just have unreasonable friends/ex-girlfriends?

This gives me the following results with Rnd(1-8):

6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13

In the guide... he has the following level up stat calculated as follows for the difference number (that should only be 0-11):

     *     Difference | Stat Gain
     *         0-3    |     0
     *         4-6    |     1
     *         7-9    |     2
     *        10-11   |     3

So my question is how is it handled when the number is above 11, or below 0(assuming below 0 is possible)?

So my question is, why does this execute the command as if it is the command block running it and is there any other way I can achieve this?

texts: Is there any reason to use an old account?

texts:
Is there any reason to use an old Blizzard account for WoW classic? I've not used the Authenticator in ages. And if I try now, it simply doesn't notice that it needs to generate a code. Nor does the "manual" option work. I can go the long route of getting it removed, uploading pictures of my ID, but it seems far simpler to just create a new account. The whole point of WoW classic is to restart at level 1 anyway, so what benefit is there to lose?

The chief problems I see are the need to use a new email (no big deal) and a problem with the Authenticator only supporting a single account (but that Authenticator is still optional? So I can just skip it - it's always been a hassle)

A side problem of this authentication issue is that I can't access the Blizzard fora either, as you need the Authenticator even for that.

texts: How can I pin murder on Eli, the pedophile?

texts:
I'm playing "The Golden Butterfly", the second mission in L.A. Noire's Homicide chapter.

Diedre Moller has been murdered.  There are two suspects in the case, her husband, Hugo, and a pedophile, Eli.

I've found all 12 clues in the case, and I'm back at Central where I have the opportunity to interrogate both suspects.  I've gotten all four speech successes out of Eli, and he really doesn't seem guilty (of murder).  He has a plausible explanation for how he got the brooch, and the coveralls in the trunk are stitched with Hugo's initials.  Yet, whenever I accuse Hugo of murder, the captain gets upset with me.

I looked up a walkthrough and discovered that I'm supposed to accuse Eli of the murder.

What evidence proves that Eli, rather than Hugo, is guilty?

texts:
I often find myself constructing things using blueprints because it's so much easier than laying multiple things by hand. I was recently doing this at a remote mine site, that I had connected via Roboports to my main base, because I wanted to ensure that any damage would be automatically repaired by construction robots using the repair packs that I requested for the roboports.

However I noticed that as I was stamping down my blueprints, my personal robot swarm was only doing one trip between me and the planned items on the ground, and leaving the rest to be laboriously brought from my base which takes between two to three minutes. It would have been much faster if my personal robots did the construction.

From now on, I'm planning to leave connecting the roboport network till after construction, but it seems like a waste, when they could be spending the time that I'm constructing, transporting the decent amount of repair packs that they will require.

Is there any way to tweak the logic that determines which robots are chosen for a construction task or do I just have to not connect up the network till I'm done?


texts:
One of my squad members have Arms Master and with the way Squad Bonus(Rank 6 Arms Master) is displaying the bonus I'm wondering who it affects.

The wording and the way it is displayed on Shepards squad bonus abilitys(no green bar to indicate an improvement) made me think it was other members of the party that benefits from the ability.

But with the way it is displayed on squad members ability it looks like the squad member benefits from it when it is its own ability.

So who benefits from Squad Bonus abilities? Is it all members of the party, only others than the one with the ability, only the two squad members(not Shepard) or some other combination?

texts: I cleared a Crimson chasm, and found something I can't find anything about. What is this?

texts:
So I beat the Golem and finally decided to buy the Clentaminator to clear the world of most of the more troublesome hallow and Crimson.

While clearing the chasms I found this background area that doesn't seem to budge to anything. The Clentaminator doesn't purify it, the Pwnhammer doesn't smash it, and the Pickaxe Axe doesn't seem to have any effect on it.
And while I did try searching for it on the web I didn't manage to find any info.

What is this thing?

After posting, I managed to find another one under the other Chasm, and they are destroyable by using bombs (that destroy tiles) and dynamite. So I guess they're just background tiles as Sable Dreamer claims.

texts: Why would I choose a Palladium Drill over a Palladium Pickaxe?

texts:
I recently entered hardmode with my new character, and I am being faced with two choices: the Palladium Pickaxe and Palladium Drill. I remember that before 1.2, there were only drills, not pickaxes, for the hardmode-tier mining tools.

After comparing them, I have found that the pickaxe has 5 knockback, and drill has 0. Other than that, they are identical. So, why would I choose a Drill? If the only difference is the knockback, there doesn't seem to be a good reason to get the Drill over the Pickaxe. Or am I missing something?

note: the wiki says the pickaxe can't mine Adamantite and Titanium, but that appears to be wrong; they both have 130% pickaxe power. Also, in-game, they actually have the same tooltip, so the wiki's wrong.


texts: Using Attribute modifiers to add armour to Elytra (MCBE)

texts:
As the title suggests I am trying to add Elytra wings to the player, through commands, that will give them an armour bonus (in place of the missing chest plate)
I've seen plenty of examples for Vanilla Minecraft and I have tried to copy/paste, or write my own but with no luck. Here is the current command I have been working with.

/give @p elytra 1 0 {AttributeModifiers:[{AttributeName:"generic.Armor", Name:"generic.Armor", Amount:20,Operation:0, UUIDLeast:894654, UUIDMost:2872}]}

The error I get is:

  * Line 1 Column 2 Missing '}' or object member name.

I'm not entirely sure where line 1, Column 2 is. But I don't think that blindly sticking a } in the middle of my command will fix anything. I'm sure that what I'm trying to do is possible but I don't have the skill to figure out the small details myself.

texts: Can Mass Effect 2 Saves and DLC be used on multiple Xboxes with the same Live Profile?

texts:
I have one XBox 360 in my house, and plan to buy a second console for my office (across the country).  I'm playing Mass Effect 2 (using Cloud Storage for Saves).  I've bought all of the DLC and thus far have done all of my playing on my primary console.

I'm trying to determine if I will be able to download all of the DLC to the second XBox and continue to play no matter which location I'm in. Basically I want to be able to continue playing/progressing even as I travel from location to location.

I'm fairly confident that my Cloud based saves will work just fine, but it's very hard to pin down the policy on DLC and multiple XBoxes.  Obviously I'll be using the same Xbox Live Profile in both locations.

Will I have to buy the Cerberus Network for the second Xbox?  Will I have to re-buy all of the DLC?


texts: Stats of already possesed items changed in patch

texts:
As some people may already now, there is a new patch launching for Diablo 3 soon. Reading through patch notes I came upon a change of an item for one of the classes (specifically monk, but question covers all).

Blizzard made one of the items exceptionally stronger:

  The Fist of Az'Turrasq
  Exploding Palm's on-death explosion bonus damage has been increased from 75-100% to 250-300%

Links: Item, Patch notes

The question is - I already own one Fist of Az'Turrasq. What happens to this item after patch goes live? Is it rerolled? Or do I have to find another after the patch kicks in, as the one I have doesn't have the stats changed?

Edit: As I kept on reading, I realized one can use Kanai's cube to reroll stats of a legendary item (which The Fist actually is), but will the reroll take in account new stats?

Edit 2: As no-one can actually predict the future and how Blizzard solves this issue, I would like to know how this was dealt with in the past. Since asking about unreleased content is considered offtopic, hence this edit.

texts: How do Fractal of the Mist monsters scale?

texts:
Ok we all know that every tier of Fractal level increases agony. This seems the main problem in dealing with high level fractals, but what about the monsters?

Looking at a dredge Fractal (which by the way is the second most hated by me), At level 2 there were 2 monsters guarding the side press platform. While at level 4 they were only 3 or 4 monsters, at level 8 they were about 6. We see they increase in number and this makes it harder, which is fine.

I never played above level 8, but now I'm wondering, if at level 8 we have tripled the monster number compared to level 2, Does the amount of monsters keep growing at this rate or does the monster count remain the same because agony starts kicking in?

texts: Team Fortress 2 Dedicated Server Replays

texts:
I am running a dedicated server for Team Fortress 2 and I have SourceMod installed.

I would like to include replay support, which is presently almost functional.
By almost functional I mean that it works how I want it to, but I have to manually start it.

My server.cfg calls replay.cfg like so

exec replay.cfg

which gets me to where I am now. I need to manually run a map change to get it going. The reason why I can't have replay.cfg trigger a map change is that the map change would call server.cfg and thus replay.cfg getting us stuck in an infinite loop.

What I really need is the ability to run a config file if and only if it was called by a server initial start up and not a map change.

Thanks in advance.

texts: What does, and does not contribute to activating Lucky Friends?

texts:
So, as with many aspects of Pokemon Go, I've heard many things about the functionality of how Pokemon Go functions. One of the worst things about it is the misinformation that gets spread around.

As an example some people believed that you could "pick up" the pokeballs that missed catching the Pokemon.

Some rumours about Lucky Friends I have heard is that activating Lucky Eggs can help boost your chance of activating Lucky Friends.

This would make sense - the names match (Lucky Egg, Lucky Friends, for Lucky Trades), and it's likely that you will be a high level by the time you have 2 or 3 best friends, making Lucky Eggs redundant.

So what I want to know is what does and what does not contribute to activating Lucky Friends, within the Friends System?

As and example of what does not contribute, is interactions per day. Levelling up friends only counts one interaction per day - so for example, interacting more that once per day, does not contribute

and it actually worked. But then i set the score for a "player" named "Test" to 1 and it didn't get points. What did I do wrong?


texts: How do I come back after falling behind in levels?

texts:
Over the last few days, I have had games, where I fall behind in Hero levels, due to teammates playing badly and feeding the enemy heroes.
This outcome makes it difficult to get back into the game.

What is the best way to deal with such a situation, in regard to get make your Hero able to stand up to the enemy heroes?

EDIT: I usually play a Nuker, such as Lion.


texts: Can't access special vehicle list in gta 5

texts:
As far as I can tell, Queens look like a bad investment over an additional Hatchery:

2 Queens costs 300 minerals and consume 4 supply, whereas 1 Hatchery costs 300 minerals and doesn't consume supply.
2 Queens require constant management (not too often, not too boring if certain rules are following, but still: they need to be additionally managed).
2 Queens allows you to get a +30% larvae output (For 2 hatcheries - it is 2 larvae), whereas an extra hatchery will give you 3 extra larvae...

Now, Queens can also be used as a defensive unit against air invaders, and can be useful as some help against ground invasions... but that is weak benefit.

Could you please describe, why are Queens so popular?


texts:
Ever since I saw the Equilibrium spell I thought that it might be possible to play a 'Blood Mage' like character. Instead of putting points in magicka you could put them into Health. Equilibrium would be used at the early stages of the game before enchanting was high enough to give you free spells. After that the absence of magicka wouldn't really be noticed and the extra health would be useful.

Are there any special effects on artifacts or perks in the game that would be useful to this character build?

Are there any potential downsides in this character design?

Some of the higher spells use more magicka than is available at the start of the game.

Would it be better to use items with +magicka to cast higher level spells or to put some attribute points into magicka instead of health?

I'm playing again Conquest of Camelot and there is a riddle at the force field barrier at the 5 stones that I don't know the answer. Here it is:

If you know the answer, please let me know because that's the only riddle missing to go thru the barrier.

It seems that rest is by default 8 hours. I pull into the spot and pull out 8 hours later well-rested.

texts: How to fix location error using Win10 Edge to surf ingress.com/intel?

texts:
How do I fix a location error while browsing http://ingress.com/intel with Win10 Edge? It shows me about 5 miles west of my real location. This happens on my Lenovo X220i just upgraded from Win7 and my wife's Lenovo K450e upgraded from Win8.1. Neither system has GPS, but Opera, Chrome, and Firefox work just fine. Vivaldi doesn't get past nagging about enabling location (which is already enabled).

I'd like to give Edge a chance, but it lacks (or inobviously hides) much of the functionality of Opera.

texts: PS4 pro is bricked after update error su-30746

texts: So I just booted up my PS4 after maybe a month or two of inactivity from it, then noticed I had a pending software update. So then I proceeded to update and install the firmware that was downloading and once it had finnished installing, it failed to restart back to the homescreen. So then after manually booting it back up I get an error su-30746-0 which means "could not find file required for system software update," according to Google. So after trying to find a solution on the internet, I found that there is a simple fix for this and that is to boot it up in safe mode by holding down the power button on the PS4 until I hear two beeps. Once I finally get it in safe mode I'm instructed to plug my controller in via a USB cable and press the PS button however that part doesn't work, So it stays stuck in safe mode with the message "connect a duelshock 4 via USB and press the PS button". When I try to power on my controller it just blinks with a few lights then nothing, so basically im unable to access the safe mode options. I've tested the cables and found that they work, so I've ruled the issue out to be that the PS4 will not communicate with the controllers in anyway. At this point I'm seeing no hope in getting back into my console, so I just thought that maybe someone here can give an alternative solution that I may not already know about. If anyone knows a solution to giving my PS4 its OS back, and getting around this, I'd really appreciate it <3. For the time being, I still have a gaming PC to play fallout 4, skyrim, among us, fallguys, and csgo on so I'm not totally video game deprived, I just wont be apart of that MK 11 DLC that I was strongly anticipating :(


texts:
You have probably noticed that messages will pop up whenever the Sole Survivor does something to increase the companions affinity. For example if you pick a lock the message will read "Piper liked that" if she is your companion.

However, I noticed that this message does not appear all the time, there rather seems to be some kind of cooldown time intervall between messages. That is, whenever I pick two locks in short succession there will be no second message after the first.

Does that mean that affinity is unaffected by the second action? Is there some sort of cooldown phase? Or is it just the message?


texts: How do I use quotes in an extremely nested command?

texts:
Basically, I'm trying to make a "One command creation", which is, if you don't know, when you have an entire creation/project in one long command.
My creation makes a box, and then puts command blocks inside that box that will do stuff, all generating from a single command. One of the command blocks in that box has some quotes in it that it needs to be able to run, but the long command that makes the command block can't have those quotes for some reason. How can I get around this?
Here's the entire command (I believe some parts of it might be useful to this but I'm not sure):
summon falling_block ~ ~1 ~ {Time:1,BlockState:{Name:redstone_block},Passengers:[{id:armor_stand,Health:0,Passengers:[{id:falling_block,Time:1,BlockState:{Name:activator_rail},Passengers:[{id:command_block_minecart,Command:'gamerule commandBlockOutput false'},{id:command_block_minecart,Command:'data merge block ~ ~-2 ~ {auto:0}'},{id:command_block_minecart,Command:'fill ~3 ~-2 ~-2 ~9 ~3 ~2 white_concrete hollow'},{id:command_block_minecart,Command:'fill ~3 ~-1 ~-2 ~9 ~2 ~2 light_gray_stained_glass replace white_concrete'},{id:command_block_minecart,Command:'setblock ~4 ~-1 ~-1 repeating_command_block[facing=east]{Command:"tag @e[nbt={OnGround:1b,Item:{id:"minecraft:iron_block",Count:3b}}] add irondoor1"}'},{id:command_block_minecart,Command:'data merge block ~4 ~-1 ~-1 {auto:1b}'},{id:command_block_minecart,Command:'setblock ~ ~1 ~ command_block{auto:1,Command:"fill ~ ~ ~ ~ ~-2 ~ air"}'},{id:command_block_minecart,Command:'kill @e[type=command_block_minecart,distance=..1]'}]}]}]}
And here is the bit of it that makes the command block in question:
{id:command_block_minecart,Command:'setblock ~4 ~-1 ~-1 repeating_command_block[facing=east]{Command:"tag @e[nbt={OnGround:1b,Item:{id:"minecraft:iron_block",Count:3b}}] add irondoor1"}'}
Little explanation - It summons a redstone block with an activator rail on top, thus powering the activator rail. Then it spawns a command block in a minecart (CBM) which goes on a powered activator rail, thus activating the command in the CBM. That command sets a block inside my box to be a repeating command block with a command. The problem is in this command - specifically, at id:"minecraft:iron_block". The problem is that the repeating command block needs those quote marks, but the long command can't have those quotes or it doesn't work.
Apologies if anything was confusing. If anyone can solve this issue I'd greatly appreciate it, as this is only one of many times this has happened.


texts: GOG Galaxy has lost my Pillars of Eternity install

texts:
I've been playing Pillars of Eternity from GOG, and I just bought the White March DLC.  It downloaded and installed the first part just fine, but it said downloading the second part failed, and suddenly the game isn't playable anymore.

I went to the folder to try to run it directly, and I found that PillarsOfEternity.exe is now a 0 KB file!

I restarted Galaxy, and now the game isn't in my list of games at the left, and if I try manually scanning for it using "Scan and Import Folders," it doesn't register as a valid game.

Does anyone know how to fix this without having to re-download 20+ GB of content?

Hand-drawn circles around the switch "hotspot" and any other obvious identifying feature preferred.


texts: In Xbox One Elite:Dangerous can you fire chaff outside a fire group

texts:
I realise that in the PC version this is probably a simple key binding; this question is specific to the Xbox one version of Elite: Dangerous, only.

I recently added a chaff launcher to my ship. I can fire it by adding it to a fire group, switching over to that group and pulling one of the triggers, but this is a pain in a firefight.

However the chaff always appears on the far left of the HUD, even when not assigned to a trigger - does this mean that there's some other way to fire it?

Can I fire chaff without binding it to a specific fire group?

Does that also apply to other manually applied modules (head sinks, shield cells, etc)?

texts:
After watching some jungler streams,this is a question that came to my mind.Why do they buy boots after finishing the jungler item most of the time?I know it makes killing camps faster,but on the other side you can not gank as efficent as you would do with boots since you are not only slower when chasing but you also take longer to get from lane to lane.

Would it not be better to get boots as first item?It improves pressure on all lanes,helps chasing down and even if it takes a bit more time to clear the camps,the movement speed should make up the time you are in the jungle plus you can run away more easily if you fail a gank.

Or is it just a personal preference?

a different special attack (e.g. Hammer of the Ancients), will it
deal more damage than without the Frenzy?

texts: Saved game not restoring anymore in No Man's Sky

texts:
I've been playing NMS for the past 4-5 days now. I had collected ~1M units, learned over 120 alien words, met >30 aliens on 4 star systems and so on, so forth. I last saved my game (successfully) yesterday morning (2 AM). Today (IST 9 PM) when I tried to start the game again, it started from the beginning. I immediately went to the options page, and noticed that it does hold the last saved checkpoint from yesterday.

But, when trying to reload those saved games, nothing happens. I am stuck at the very beginning of the game again. I ran a system chkdsk as well, to if the files got corrupt. But there is nothing wrong with the machine itself.

Is it a bug in the game? Can the saved game be restored? Right now, I force quit the application from task manager, just to avoid overwriting the saved game data.

Also, I just recently complete my engineering service star 3 but I never got the 10000 points or anything saying that I completed it. Is anyone else having this problem?

So I was wondering if I could write my own review for a resort (besides my own resort).


texts: Why don't Terrans ever seem to use medics?

texts:
I've been watching a bunch of Starcraft II replays recently, and I just realized that I've never seen a single medic in any of the games. The most recent one I watched had medivacs, which is obviously more useful than medics (since they can lift units too), but most of the games I've seen had a bunch of marines and marauders and no healing units at all.

It confuses me because I used medics all the time in campaign mode, to avoid having to buy more marines all the time. Is there any reason why no one seems to do that in multiplayer?

texts: Do I need to stash unconscious Weeper bodies to save them from rats?

texts:
Related: How do I prevent rats from eating a corpse that I left unattended? Also, is this a bad thing?

I have been playing compassionately and I know that when rats devour a body it counts as a kill against you, so I've taken the time to stash bodies in places that rat swarms can't get to.

I just knocked a Weeper unconscious.  I know from the hints during the loading menu that summoned rats won't attack a Weeper, due to the advanced progress of the plague.

Does this mean I don't have to worry about rats devouring the bodies of Weepers I've knocked unconscious?


texts: All the contents of my shelter exploded, killing me and leaving my shelter virtually unscathed. How could this happen?

texts:
I finally gave in to my curiosity this weekend and bought Minecraft 1.1. I had largely avoided learning too much about it because I wanted to play through it myself and discover things without the help of guides and FAQs. However, I had a very disturbing situation happen last night. I am reluctant to look through any FAQs to hunt down an explanation because I may come across too many spoilers, so if someone could give me a direct explanation without much spoilerage I'd appreciate it.

My shelter:

To start, here was what the main part of my shelter looked like:

The shelter was constructed of native (i.e. un-mined) stone and cobblestone. I had one 1-block chest and two 2-block chests with signs above them, a furnace/oven, a crafting bench, a couple torches, and a step up to a doorway leading outside. The top right chest contained various stone and iron material, along with coal, flint, charcoal, and gunpowder. The top left chest contained wood and glass material. The smaller bottom left chest contained tools, armor, and assorted bits. Not sure if it matters, but the floor of my shelter was actually the ceiling of an overhanging cliff that was around 40 blocks high off the ground.

The incident:

I had just finished remodeling my shelter, having just filled my new chests and placed the signs above them to help me remember what I put in them. I was in the process of crafting some new iron objects at my bench when BLAM!!! There was an explosion, my screen went red, and my precious treasures went flying. Unfortunately, I didn't have my sound on (since my wife was sleeping on the couch) and don't know if there was any noise going on beforehand to warn me of the impending disaster.

Luckily, my respawn point was close, and I managed to frantically make my way back. To my surprise, it appeared that nearly all my objects were still there. Most were sitting in the same spot that their chest was in. As best I can tell, I was able to recover nearly everything, with the exception of the signs and 2 of the 5 chest blocks. Oddly, the door and torches outside were gone, but the structure itself was untouched save for two holes in the floor (marked "Gone" in the above picture).

What happened?

I'm baffled by what could have happened. I can't imagine a creeper snuck up on me, since at the time there was no way in (I took away the bricks leading up to the door). I've tangled with them before and their explosions have never outright killed me, just wounded me. They also tend to leave big craters, and there seemed to be too little structural damage in this case.

The only explanation I can come up with is that I organized my possessions badly. Should furnaces not be placed next to chests containing combustibles? Should certain materials not be stored together in the same chest, like flint and gunpowder?

I've attempted to perform a controlled aerobraking maneuver against Kerbin upper atmosphere (>55km) when returning from a moon and decided to speed things up with fast-forwarding from the Tracking Station. And when I had my ship circle a few rotations in the 'aerobraking' orbit, I observed that the orbit did not change, despite it should've done so.

I figure that the game does not simulate objects far from player focus properly. Is there a description what and how far from player goes out of proper simulation? A few suspected examples that I've come up with:

Eccentric sub-atmospheric orbits
Objects on collision course with one another (interaction/destruction/passing through)
Science stations in orbit and on land of distant bodies (science generation/energy consumption)

My KSP is the most latest current version - 1.0.4

I'm trying to do the Khajit dawnstar chest loop, but for the Dark Brotherhood's quest line I've killed two khajits of the trading caravan in dawnstar.
Now they don't spawn in dawnstar anymore, but their body's are still on the floor.
Pls help :)


texts: Can I keep Jaheira/Khalid and Montaron/Xzar from killing each other?

texts:
Eventually I want to have all my characters neutral or "better". However, I've just started and I'm stuck with what I've got for now or I'll get myself killed (especially since I'm a first level mage, I get killed easily). I've got high charisma, can I use it knock their heads together? I'd like to keep Montaron and Xzar, at least until we reach Nashkell. I'm inclined to keep Jaheira and Khalid at least until better good characters come along. We're in Beregost now (for the first time). If we abandon our quests here for now and high-tail it to Nashkell, can I keep them from killing each other?

Please be gentle with me, I'm new to RPG gaming, I'm kind of clueless.

texts: Remove the "You are now attacking/defending!" message

texts:
I'd like to remove this message whenever I join a server. If that is not possible, I'd like to shorten the length it shows there for. It's very distracting and makes it harder to play while it's up.

I'm talking about this message:


texts: Are there any advantages to buying a game on the Mac App Store (MAS) instead of Steam?

texts: I was looking at The Baconing on the Mac App Store (MAS) and found that it is also available on Steam. Besides the price difference is there any other reason I would want the MAS version over the Steam version?


texts: At least they all sound male...but why? I don't really know of any super mutant backstory, such as how they were created (which may lead to an answer), but I never once heard a super mutant that sounded female when they spoke.


texts:
I just realized items very similar to this-item-which-does-not-fit-my-wizard are up for sale on the AH for 10 to 20 million gold (and only 2 out there, filtering by 96 dex, 14 attack speed, and 9 minimum damage).

This got me (desperately interested in selling it) wondering about the difference between damage modifiers, since I saw a similar item, that instead of having "+9 min/+9 max" had "+16-31 damage"...

Is this the same only syntactically different? If so, why is this happening? If not, what is going on, why are some properties so similar and yet different?

Also the AH doesn't let me look for +min-max damage modifiers nor by Maximum Damage, and to search for Minimum Damage I have to use an option that's not very clearly indicative of this (Bonus Minimum Physical Damage)

Also, I don't understand the minimum-maximum values altogether, for instance in off-hand items (sources or mojos always seem to have damage), it looks like maximum damage doesn't do a thing.

I wouldn't normally care about this but now that I've been paying more attention to the auction house, in order to price correctly items I sell and to buy items at bargain prices or even fair prices, this is a very important thing to grasp, since you don't have the +- damage/vitality/protection calculator that's offered in-game.

texts: Is it possible to kill Elite Guards silently?

texts: I've just encountered my first Elite guard.  My companion says something along the lines of "That guy looks tough, you may not be able to take him down even if you catch him by surprise.  You'll have to stun him somehow first."  Looking in my bag of ninja tricks, I couldn't come up with a way to "stun" him other than beating the snot out of him, which obviously attracted his attention.  Is there anyway to kill him silently?
