texts: What are the effects of upgrading Aqueducts/Pastures?

texts:
This info hasn't propagated to the Wiki yet and I can't find any info online about it.

Next to the Aqueduct and Pasture I now have a caret symbol (^). This allows them to be upgraded to a Hydro Plant or Solar Farm respectively (source: Buildings Wiki page). Both are listed as producing energy.

On clicking to upgrade you get the following warning: "Do you want to upgrade building? You will lose all existing buildings."

I've got quite far on my first play through and don't want to screw it up/murder all my kittens. Will this reset my buildings to 0 in both categories (completely destroying them instead if replacing them)? Do the upgraded buildings retain their catnip benefits? Is it better to sell the existing buildings before upgrading (getting back my resources)?


texts: Is it a good idea to dismiss traders as quickly as possible after trade?

texts: The trading post has a "Dismiss" button that allows you to dismiss the trader after you're finished with the trade. Is it a good idea to always finish the trade as quickly as possible after the arrival of the trader and dismiss him, presumably so that he can come back to trade again more quickly?


texts:
I played Dark Souls 1 and found it practical to see at one glance if I'm in human form or not. The humanity counter in the top left corner indicated human form by shining in a brighter white than usual.

In Dark Souls 2 I can't figure out if I'm human or not unless I take of my helmet. My body is fully covered in armor so I can't see my skin condition.

Is there an indicator in Dark Souls 2 which displays my human form like in Dark Souls 1?

I think this is new since the last patch, I distinctly remember companions being healed after sleeping.

How can I heal her again, preferably without wasting supplies or caps?


texts: Is still possible to play Just Dance 2015 with Android app?

texts:
I've purchased a used copy of Just Dance 2015 for my niece to see if the game is suitable for her, in order to eventually get a newer version for Christmas.

As far as I know, it's possible to play Just Dance using an Android app called Just Dance Controller but it appears that now it only supports 2016-2020 versions of the game.
The 2015 version was called Just Dance 2015 Motion Controller but I can't find it anywhere. Every link redirects me to the newer app.

Is the 2015 version no more supported by the app?

texts: Managing Steam game saves in gaming arcade environment

texts:
I am in the process of researching the viability of a VR gaming cafe. Since this would largely use games from Steam, I am looking at the capabilities of the Steam platform and what it allows.

I am aware of the Steam Site Licensing Program which appears to suit the general need to have a centrally managed Steam account without requiring users to log in to their account.

One problem I've run into, however, is how to manage saves for larger games. Particularly as games like Doom VFR and Fallout 4 VR come out that would require multiple play sessions to complete it seems important to persist saves per user somehow.

Is there any way to manage saves per user per game? One method I thought was to copy the local save to a central storage server after the session is finished, and copy it back for a specific user when the game is relaunched. This seems a bit cumbersome. It would be nice if there was a more concrete way of managing this.

Are there any good ways of managing saves in a gaming arcade environment without users logging in to their personal Steam account?

texts: Stuck in extraction mission after killing all aliens and bringing VIP to SkyRanger

texts:
I seem to be stuck in an extraction mission (rescuing some general) after (seemingly) killing all aliens and bringing the VIP to the SkyRanger (to the marked area).

I think I killed all the aliens, but there may be some others hidding somewhere. I've swept the area twice but could not find the missing aliens. That happened quite a bit on the original 1994 game, but I thought I read somewhere that the developers got rid of this situation in the latest version somehow.

I'm in mid-game playing in normal difficulty (no ironman mode) and the PS3 version. The mission is in Brasilia, Brazil.

What am I doing wrong?

texts: Miraak NEVER absorbs any dragon souls in 'At the Summit of Apocrypha' quest

texts:
I've been playing the Dragonborn DLC for awhile. Now, I'm in the 'At the Summit of Apocrypha' quest. The issue I'm encountering is the bug where Miraak NEVER absorbs any dragon souls, leaving him permanently ethereal during the fight, not allowing me to finish the quest. And my character is ALWAYS absorbing the dragon souls.

I've been finding possible solutions on the Internet. Here's what I've already tried:

Installing Unofficial Skyrim and Dragonborn Patch
Uninstalling Unofficial Skyrim and Dragonborn Patch
Kill all dragons before attacking Miraak
Using the ff. console commands:

setstage DLCMQ06 500

tcl

Sneaking behind stone pillars, pile of books, and behind Miraak

Followed EVERY known Youtube videos of Bugfix
Use of petty weapons and armor
Changing the difficulty
Reinstalling the game

You see chapter 1/0:00. It starts from the very beginning, "where is that mf" and all that BS.

Edit: P.S.- As the game said in beginning, pulsating gun animation never appears on checkpoints.

texts: Does reputation or morality matter for my allies or squad mates?

texts:
Throughout the course of the game, you end up allying yourself with various members of the Mass Effect 3 cast. Does the act of allying with a specific character change my own morality or reputation? That is, do certain characters have an inherent morality and, if so, does associating with those characters sway my morality the appropriate direction? In the same vein, does working with specific characters raise or lower my own reputation?

To put it in high school terms, if Shep hangs out with the popular and/or rebellious crowd, does it make him more popular and/or rebellious?

Is there anything that needs to be done to trigger the cleanup?  Or, is this something that is only fixed for new games or games where the quest has not yet been completed?

texts:
In Creeper World, there's a marvelous substance called Anti-Creeper that is exactly the same as the Creeper that's trying to kill you, with two key differences that make it great for holding territory:

It doesn't try to kill you
It mutually annihilates any Creeper it touches

There are two delivery methods for this miracle material: Bombers and Sprayers. Sprayers are (occasionally mobile) ground-based turrets that shoot a steady stream of Anti-Creeper, while Bombers are, well, bombers: they pick up Anti-Creeper at a landing pad, then drop it wherever you want it. There's another flying unit, the Strafer, that simply shoots Creeper and destroys it.

The problem I have with Bombers is that I can't think of any purpose for them that isn't better served by Sprayers or Strafers. If you're trying to set up a base somewhere inside a pile of creeper, then the Strafers are (in my experience so far) faster and better at destroying Creeper, while landing a Sprayer (possibly backed by a Guppy or two carrying Anti-Creeper reloads) gives a much more steady supply of Anti-Creeper than the slow-moving bombers, once you've Strafed the Creeper down to reasonable levels. (For reference on my skill level, I've completed the main campaign and a few dozen additional levels, of which about a half-dozen were in the hard-mode Tortured Space worlds.)

I have occasionally built squads of bombers to drop unholy amounts of Anti-Creeper somewhere, and they can create a wonderfully large puddle of Anti-Creeper, but by the time I can manage to do that, I am filthy stinking rich and am simply cleaning up the last of the Creeper. At that point, I can build lots of anything, and swiftly overwhelm whatever Creeper is left.

In what situations are Bombers better than any of the alternatives?


texts: Can the Massachussets State House be [CLEARED]?

texts: I have visited this location quite a while ago. Killed the Mirelurk Queen down below, killed the female raider with a minigun up top. The place didn't receive the [CLEARED] marker then. Now I visited it again trying to determine if it bears any relation to the Freedom Trail quest, and imagine my surprise when I realized the place got reset, pretty much. I have again fought the Queen and killed the minigun-wielding raider. And, again, I can't get it [CLEARED]. Is that possible to do? Am I missing something?

texts: What are the differences between the Battlefield series and the Bad Company series?

texts:
I entered the Battlefield universe with Battlefield 3, but since then I read and heard that Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 were largely similar to the Bad Company series, specifically that DICE "should go back to Bad Company" - implying they like it much more than the Battlefield main series.

Seeing how people clearly feel the Bad Company series is superior, I'm curious as to what are the main differences between these series, what has been changed from one to the other in terms of, say, mechanics or setting? Is this just a personal preference or were there really some big changes made?

My question is: what changes if you choose not to kill that character?

texts: How can I randomise the output of a redstone circuit?

texts:
I have 5 buttons and only one of these can be correct, all others must be false.
These 5 outputs will go into 2 outputs, in between there needs to be a circuit which changes which single button out of the 5 will go down the "correct" output of the final 2. The 4 remaining buttons must go to the second of the final 2 outputs.
Both final outputs must give out a true signal for a brief period the same as a button on its own would produce.
There should also be a way of activating the circuit.
Not sure if that is explained well enough so I have made a basic diagram of what I need.

The diagram shows how I need the signal to be split. However in between the buttons and the final two wires there needs to be a circuit (marked by the grey box). This circuit changes the single button connected to the left wire. The right input should start the circuit and randomise the 5 buttons.
There are no limits to size, amount of materials used or method used.
This question is similar to the one asking about random numbers in Minecraft commands, but I am specifically working with Redstone circuitry - the commands solutions do not apply here

texts: Are characters like Annie and Zyra really 'supports'?

texts:
The meta of League of Legends seems to be shifting, instead of using for example: Nami, Lulu and Soraka as supports, people is using Annie, Zyra and others to fill the role.

When one uses such characters in the bot lane, are they really in the support role? Most of these supports have full AP builds. For me, they're not really supports, for me it seems that they're just using mages in the bot lane.

I guess that people is calling such characters as supports just because tradition, and then independent of what you put in the bot lane, it's going to be called a support. I believe that in RPG games, a support is a character that is completely diffent of, say, Annie and Zyra. And also that the idea of supporting comes from there.

What I don't agree is that they're being called supports. It's like if the word support is being used as a synonym to companion. I believe support is a class of characters that have a pattern of skills for helping in a specific way, and not helping in all ways.

texts: Is there anything one can do in a car without a police radio in LA Noire?

texts:
I recently completed the main storyline of LA Noire, and now I am still playing it to roam the streets and take on the random street crimes that happen.

There are hidden special cars in garages scattered throughout the game, as well the ability to pretty much walk up to any car and commandeer it. When you drive a new car, you are given a little notice that tells you that you've "unlocked" a new car.

However, since only police cars have radios, you won't come across any street crimes. So you can only drive around in them, but LA Noire isn't really set up to have any challenges that are based on driving. As far as I can tell, you literally just drive around a bit in them.

Since I finished the game without ever even knowing hidden cars existed, and only once commandeered a car (and I don't think it was strictly necessary in that situation), I'm not sure I understand why I would want to ever drive any car other than a police car.

Is there anything a player can do with a non-police car? Are they just for "collecting" and that's it?

texts:
I played Pokemon X last year, and stopped playing after a while. Beat e4, bred some nice Pokemon, but never had the courage to play online and get my ass whipped. Therefor I didn't touch the game for some months. After beating the e4 in ORAS, I decided that I want to make a living Pokedex, with the aid of Pokebank. I booted Pokemon X and before I went to the Friend Safari's to catch Pokemon I hadn't caught yet, I checked my Pokeballs. Exactly as I suspected, I had quite some duskballs and quickballs left, but also ~100 Premier balls. I don't remember buying 100 times 10 balls to obtain the Premier balls (and I don't have that many balls left). Was there some sort of event that you obtained those balls? It is plausible from the description:

  A somewhat rare Poké Ball that was made as a commemorative item used to celebrate an event of some sort.

So I finished the game, but didn't participate in any events in the last ~8 months for Pokemon X, except for a Diancie and ORAS demo. So, how did I obtain 100 Premier Balls?

texts: Are all circlets acceptable for the Mage Armor perk?

texts:
I decided to use Mage Armor and so I quit wearing Morokei (a "light armor" mask) in favor of a an enchanted "clothing" circlet (0 armor).  When I picked up Diadem of the Savant I was disappointed to see it register as "light armor" with AC 8.  My wife asked why, so I said if I put this on I'll go from 120 armor to 68:  Instead I went to 128!  I tried it several times (casting first, casting after, trying Morokei again) and the Diadem seems to be exempt from the Mage Armor rule despite being "light armor" (which is clearly modified by my slight light armor skill) and having AC 8.

Are all circlets exempt for Mage Armor?  Are there other pieces (unique or entire classes) that are exempt?

I've been inactive in WoW for several years. I just renewed my subscription to find that all my character names have been mangled. Presumably, this was done by Blizzard to free up the names for other players that might want to use them.

I would like to restore the old names. To the best of my knowledge, the names I used to use are still available on the realms I used to play in.

I understand Blizzard provides a paid name change service, but I have some fifteen characters on my old account, and that's a substantial amount of money. Are there any other options for returning players?


texts: Does being Level 5 Blacksmith make sense in Normal mode?

texts:
I managed to get to the last upgrade of level 4 in blacksmith in the end of act I by using the party money to upgrade only one character. From now, I need these blacksmith pages to upgrade, and they can only be obtained in Nightmare mode (or on act IV, whatever).

I craft items that are already useful or will soon be useful, i.e., level requirement on items is not my worry now.

The bad thing is that now it's gonna be a little hassle to get those pages before Nightmare, so I want to know, is it viable to upgrade? More specifically: do all items made in level 5 require high level (~ 35+), or more important, do they take more stuff to prepare that I do not have access now, on act II?

In Minecraft 1.9,  F3  +  D  will clear your chat.

texts: Are there any defences against bomb weapons?

texts:
In terms of defending against damage from enemy ships:

Shields counter laser and beam weapons (which includes all anti-ship drones).
Defence drones shoot down missiles (plus lasers for the Mk II).

Are there any "hard" counters against bomb weapons such as those above?  I think that evasion counters everything except beams (i.e. I've seen bombs MISS and explode in space), but am I missing anything more proactive?


texts:
In Shenmue, there’s a bad ending if you don’t finish the game before a certain date.

The booklet of Shenmue II (from the Dreamcast PAL version, page 26) says:

  Overall Time Limit

  Time will pass, even when you are not doing anything.
  The game starts on a cold winter’s day.

  There is no need to rush your way through the game, take your time and admire the scenery if you wish, however, you are expected to reach your goal before the summer comes around.

  Enjoy the world of "Shenmue II" …

So I’m "expected to reach [my] goal before the summer comes around". But what happens if I take longer than that? Is there also a bad ending in Shenmue II?


texts: Are "Make it Rain" and faerie chests affected by +gold artifacts? Which ones?

texts:
After getting quite some artifacts and leveling them, I checked on "Make it Rain" perk (had one free from daily dungeon) to help me get past a wall.

To my surprise, it was giving me very little gold, around the same I could get out of a chesterton. I remember using it at the beginning of the game (to push for the very first prestige) and it was a insurmountable amount of gold. The same with faerie chests. I usually can make more gold in the time it takes to watch an ad than what is offered for watching the ad.

It made me wonder if artifacts with +gold are not affecting it.

I have:

Future's Fortune lv 30
Chest of Contentment lv 20
Crafter's Elixir lv 50

And several other non-gold related artifacts.

Is it correct that make it rain is not scaling together with the artifacts?

texts: Graphic noise in Wii games - Skyward Sword most recently

texts:
I've noticed some graphic noise during a number of Wii games. A bit in Wii Fit, New Super Mario Bros., and most recently Skyward Sword. I don't play often enough to bother me but the amount of time I've sunk in to Zelda has prompted me to ask the collective Internet.

I have this Wii hooked up via component cable. I had the Wii repaired / replaced by Nintendo a few years ago and, honestly, I can't remember if this problem popped up when I got the new console or if this started later.

It almost seems like certain rendering cases cause it. With Zelda for instance, it's much more prominent when I'm in the clouds. Wii Fit, on the main menu. Mario, I remember this showing up during levels only.

Anyone else seeing this?

Is there any indication as to how often "periodically" is?  Are there abilities or items that can change the frequency of this effect?

texts: How can I check if ammo is compatible with my gun in Escape from Tarkov?

texts:
Escape from Tarkov offers a variety of munitions in a wide array of calibers. Coupled with the ability to customize a gun's receiver it can be difficult to tell what bullets can be fired out of what guns. A common mistake for new players is to load incorrect bullets into a magazine that fits into the gun. The successful reload falsely suggests the gun is operable, and the player won't realize that their gun doesn't fire until it's too late. I've made this mistake twice, getting me killed both times, and am now too concerned to explore beyond the very limited range of bullets I know work with the gun I'm using.
How can I quickly tell if my ammunition will work with my firearm? In character customization I can "guess and check" and see if my weapon turns red if I load the wrong caliber, but in-raid this seems impossible to check. What can I do to protect myself from using wrong bullets, especially when incompatible bullets can be chambered into the gun?

texts: FIFA 2010 stuttering every 2-3 seconds in game

texts:
Strangest problem, I bought a used PS3 + FIFA from my brother-in-law, he had FIFA 2010 South Africa working perfectly last time I saw, he has now moved country and I tried booting it up the other day and tonight to play and it glitches in-game (on field) every 2-3 seconds for about 50ms causing a really irritating stutter, cutting the sound and making the game quite unplayable.

Has anyone encountered this before? I really am not sure what's going on or if I have any control on how to fix it, I have ran the latest PS3 system update and the disc looks clean.

texts:
In the Options screen under Gameplay, there is an option to turn "Auto Level-Up" on or off. I understand the gist of auto-leveling to be that the game decides how to increase the abilities of your team. But what criteria does it use to decide what to focus on when it comes to a character-by-character basis?

Does the game always level up character X in the same way?
If I leave auto-leveling on for the duration, will my squad be underpowered toward the latter half of the game compared to the min-max approach that's typically done by the player?
Does the game attempt to min-max abilities, or does it put points in everything equally?

Here's the actual Options screen I'm talking about:

Notice the lack of useful information being displayed at the bottom.


texts: Recommendations for switching for a long-time Keyboard Turner

texts:
I've been playing WoW for years, and I have even managed to do some end-game raiding without shaming myself, all the while being a keyboard turner and action clicker.  I do want to reform, and I have had limited success by rolling a new toon (a mage) and playing that toon on the keyboard.

However, that has only worked while leveling and on non-taxing content.  As soon as I hit end game content, my limited range of actions in this new playing style means that I can't seem to maximize my DPS and have to revert to my old methods.  The heart of the issue is that I seem to be only able to hit the first 4-5 action buttons reliably left handed - anything further over to the right on the keyboard is a lottery.

Does anyone have suggestions to help on this that has worked for them - should I look at one of the gaming pad like the Logitech G13?

Or, should I look at remapping all the buttons to be more easily reachable by my left hand? (this is not an option I like because I have gotten very used to the a-w-s-d-q-e actions)

I also find it tough to target with the mouse - too often, I end up focused on the wrong thing (I used to tab-target or FF) - any tips to help out on that front? (and yes, I play high res - full screen on a 1920x1080).

Any other recommendations, tales of woe, or tales of triumph in terms of making the switch?

Why can't i buy any recipes?  I haven't really used the auction house much but is it that there isn't enough stock of this item so i can't buy it out?


texts: Is there a risk in scarring your followers?

texts:
When one of your followers actively does something, for example doing the cult business (TALK + follower + CULT) or trying to overcome an obstacle during an expedition, there is a chance that they will become wounded and need to be healed (TALK +follower + FUNDS).
The wounds description says that three wounds of the same kind can kill a follower and that they can become sick (which I guess can produce another wound?). However, curing the wound gives you a scar, which has a positive effect, giving you +2 to an aspect (depending on the wound).
So is forcing followers to get scars a good tactic to increase their power or can they still die even after turning wounds to scars?
EDIT: I've misread the wiki:


texts: Why won't my Fallout 4 settlers keep weapons equipped?

texts:
I play Fallout 4 on the PlayStation 4, and all I do is create settlements. I started noticing that when I equip weapons on my settlers, leave, and comeback; the weapon I give them always becomes unequipped.

It is getting really annoying, because I almost lose my settlers, when they only run up to enemies and punch them.

Is this a glitch, or just something I am doing wrong?


texts: Would Ahri's Charm slow down Master Yi while he is using his ultimate?

texts:
What happens if Ahri used Charm on a Master Yi while he is using Highlander?

  Charm
  (Active): Ahri will blow a kiss that travels in a line in front of her. It will deal magic damage and charm the first enemy it encounters, forcing them to walk harmlessly towards her, while being slowed by 50% for the duration.

  Highlander
  (Active): Increases Master Yi's movement speed by 40% and attack speed for a few seconds, as well as making him immune to any slow effects for the duration. Additionally, killing a champion during the duration will refresh all of Master Yi's ability cooldowns, while assists will refresh them by half the base amount.

Will Master Yi:

Be charmed and walk slowly towards Ahri?
Be charmed but not be slowed?

I am wondering this because I am not sure if the Charm's "slowed by 50%" is part of the hard CC(which does affect Master Yi) or if it is a secondary effect that happens along with the hard CC(which Highlander can negate).

texts: How do I execute a command relative to an entity in 1.15?

texts:
Already found similar posts like (How to execute a command relative to an entity), but those are some years old already and very outdated, what would be the new way to use the execute command relative (e.g. slightly behind) an entity? I'd guess it something with at @s[z=.5] or using the positioned tag, but neither of those worked yet. This is what I would like to accomplish, so that only in the right get stop the run command when they are in range, not both on the right and the left.

This is the actual detection range, where it detects the armor stand behind an infront of it.

And this would be the new detection range, where it only stops my execute command, when theres an armor stand in front of it.

All in all what I need is a way to reposition the anchor of the distance=0.5..1 tag, so that it's not the entity itself but rather e.g. +0.5 in the z coordinate

I mean, without actually travelling through it and testing it? It would be handy to know if this was possible to learn beforehand, so that I know if I can take a quick trip back to Sanctuary to stock up on ammo and empty my inventory, without having to play a large swath of the map again to return.

texts: Does a Playstation 3 support Jumbo Frames?

texts:
So I basically want to transfer some media from my PC to the Playstation 3 over my Gigabit Ethernet network.  I noticed my transfer speeds aren't that hot, and I verified that I DO have a Gigabit Ethernet connection on my PC and PS3 and that Jumbo Frames are supported on both the Gigabit Switch (a cheapo Trendnet) and on the PC.

However, some Googling doesn't seem to have gotten any answers about whether or not the PS3's own Gigabit network adapter supports this.  Seeing how I can only set the MTU value up to 1500, I'm leaning towards a no, but anyone can site evidence that the network adapter on the PS3 can or cannot support Jumbo Frames?


texts: Is there any reason to use the early siege units?

texts:
I compared the early ranged units. I'll abbreviate melee strength with MS and ranged strength with RS.

Unit             MS RS
Composite bowman 7  11
Catapult         7  8

Crossbowman      13 18
Trebuchet        12 14

Cannon           14 20

You get composite bowman and catapult about the samt time in the classical era, and the crossbowman and trebuchet is available in the medieval era. Also roughly about the same time.

The composite bowman is (as far as I can see) better in all aspects compared to the catapult. Same goes for crossbowman and trebuchet. And the catapult and the trebuchet have the huge drawback that you have to set them up before firing, which means that the enemy gets the first shot. The cannon which comes in the renaissance era is slightly better than the crossbowman, but not by much.

I know that the siege units (catapult, trebuchet, cannon) gets a bonus when attacking cities, but apart from that, is there any reason to use them? The only reason I can think of is that when you upgrade a crossbowman you get a unit with less range, which is a huge drawback, while the cannon upgrades to artillery that has 3 in range.

Another possible alternative would be to exchange it for a different game. Can I do this? Thank you.

So, I was re-playing Metal Gear on the PS2 (which is the MSX version, not the NES version), and Big Boss mentioned calling Schneider to get the location of the gas mask.

Additionally, the game's script implies that he will call you and give you his frequency, but it hasn't happened in any of the rooms I could access using Card 1.

How can I survive for the first few minutes on those maps? Are some of them just plain impossible?

texts: How do I defeat/sneak past proximity mines?

texts:
I'm at a hallway filled with proximity mines and things are not going well.

I've tried to crouch past them or in between them but they're very sensitive and I don't think that's a possibility. Shooting them sets them off without me getting killed but it's alarming to the bad guys nearby and that's not good - it is a last resort if I need it. Is there another way to disable or get past these mines without setting them off?

texts: How can I find the location of a given item by looking at the world data?

texts:
Is there a way to search through world data to find instances of a given type of item (e.g., gold horse armor) and/or to find an item with a particular name?

My goal is to find the item's location within the in-game world, ideally with an X/Y/Z coordinate. My specific application is locating stolen items, but I can imagine other uses for such a search, for example, locating mob spawners.

Hopefully there's already a utility or technique available to help with this. But if not, some documentation on the structure of world data might do the trick, as I'm a programmer and could probably write the search myself.

texts: In Europa Universalis IV, how do I give orders to allied AI armies?

texts:
When in war together, my AI allies, colonies and vassals tend to do stupid things such as using their main fleet to blockade a single port, or right-out commanding their army home for tea time, all while my force is slaughtered by enemy stacks of doom.
In situations where huge stacks are required, I often attach to an allied force in the hope that it will do something useful, but most of the time it is in vain. This is giving me a major headache, and I've lost countless wars to it.

So... is there a way to control allied armies and navies, for example by making them attach to my stack?

Internet research hints at the "Attach to this unit?" checkbox, but unfortunately it doesn't have a tooltip, and I haven't managed to get it to work.
I've done some experimentation, and in the most successful case I got an army to follow me for two provinces before abandoning me. In all other cases, I was simply ignored.

Finally, once these basic issues are solved: Is there a way to transport allied troops over an ocean?

texts: Do teleporters make for a good early warning system?

texts:
I've been sitting on my engineer's arse for a while now carefully crafting my dispensers and sentries to the state of the art in area denial duties near mission critical top-secret intelligence conveniently stored in a lightweight briefcase. Once I'm done with that, however, I noticed I have really little use for teleporters, however.

I could use those to bring people from base to the intelligence room, but spies would use that easily, making the move downright stupid.
I could do the other way round, but then I'd let my defending teammates accidentally warp away from the intelligence room.
I could place the teleporter from the spawn to an offensive area, but then I wouldn't be able to tend to them.

At a loss of what to do with the teleporters I figured that they could make for an EWS (early warning system) for the base. Here's an example on the map I was playing on:

B┌───────────────
T│              ←
L│ T ────────────┐
M│          HA   │ → entry points
T└─┬────         │ I intelligence
▓▓▓│             │ D dispenser
▓▓▓│ ┌───┐ ┌───┐ │ S sentry
▓┌─┘ └┐▓▓│ │▓▓▓│T│ T teleporter
▓│    └──┘ │▓▓▓│ │ H health
▓│I S      │▓▓▓│ │ A ammo
▓│D   ┌────┘▓▓▓│↑│
▓└────┘▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓│ │

The idea is that less savy players would damage the teleport as they go through, giving me enough time to prepare for their attack

By placing the teleport entry near that "battlements" area, I could pass it as a legit teleporter yanking you out of the area. The other teleporter on the stairs however would be harder to justify.

Is this a common tactic? Does it have a chance of working? Or will it just confuse my teammates and waste my time?


texts:
In Mary Skelter: Nightmares, you technically play as Jack. Incidentally, Jack is the one party member who does not participate in combat and instead is the only one who can use items or spend his turn acting as a human shield for the other party members. However, after battle, he receives experience and levels up like everyone else, though, unlike the rest of the party members, Jack shows no stat gains (he doesn't even appear to have stats) or ability unlocks.

That said, does leveling Jack up actually do anything or is it just there for consistency's sake?

texts: How close must my friends be in order to trade in Pokémon Home?

texts:
A friend of mine and I recently attempted to do a friend trade in Pokémon Home from remote locations. To our disappointment, we discovered that in order to do a friend trade, you must be within close proximity with each other.

After browsing through the help menu, I found the guidance that covers this and it does state friends must be close by. However, the guidance does not provide any information on the distance that is required. With that said, what required range in order to do friend trades in Pokémon Home?

In Pokémon Go, your friends must be within 100 meters (~328 feet) in order to trade with each other. Does Pokemon Home also have this 100 meter restriction, or is it different?

I'm currently racing the A-Spec Extreme series, and despite having won the Nascar Series with a gold, the last race, the best I can do is last. Last by about 15 seconds!

I managed to start lapping about 43s a lap and then it seems to drop off to about 47-48s a lap.

I noticed that I'm losing speed in the corners whereas the computer drivers, watching the replay at least can corner at 198-202mph, whereas I'm running about 185mph, which is losing my seconds lap on lap.

Are there any tips? Setup tricks? Or advice for racing this race? I've tried Soft compound racing tyres, tweaking up and down downforce, and tinkering with suspension, but I can't seem to corner fast enough to stick with the pack.

I do understand that Nascar is aggressive and you do need to block the line and train to draft and such, but you need to be in the pack to do that!

texts: What songs got their charts renewed on Cytus 7.0?

texts:
When Cytus got updated to 7.0, one of the changelog is

  -Renewed charts for many songs in Chapter 1 - Chapter 3, providing new experience of epic songs.

(source on Facebook, Play Store, and App Store)

but... they didn't provide the list of the songs which got renewed, which I believe its purpose is to make players curious and surprise them. However, this also gives confusion since not all players can remember the level & chart of all songs. To make it worse (well, maybe), the scores of those songs don't get reset. In the end, there's really no indicator everywhere (official website & in-game) if a song got its chart renewed.

Personally, I could remember most of Lv.9 charts (since I still need to get Million Master on them), and I did realize Chapter 2's Entrance got renewed chart (which is certainly harder now...). But how about the other songs? Could anyone provide a list of chapter 1-3 songs which got their charts renewed (and possibly, including the level change)?

Currently I have tried summoning it without gravity and right after it spawns teleporting it using /execute as @e[type=arrow,name="guardarrow",scores={lifetime=1..1}] at @s rotated as @p run tp @s ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ (lifetime scoreboard is just +1 per tick) which for about 0.5s rotates the arrow and then it rotates back, making this method useless. Using the Motion:[x.x,x.x,x.x] nbt doesn't work since it has to be able to go in all directions. So is there any way to make this work properly?

Also: When teleporting the arrows to move them they apparently don't hit things, they go straight through mobs

Any suggestions for what to do? Is deconstructing and rebuilding the Depot likely to help (assuming I can do it fast enough!)?

texts: What is the difference between a Tank and a Wall?

texts:
According to smogon:

Tank
A Pokemon intended to take either physical or special attacks and hit back, but does not have to do so consistently over the entire course of a match.
Bronzong is a very potent tank. With Gyro Ball, Explosion, and massive defenses, it can hit enemies hard and take many hits effectively over the course of a match

&nbsp

Wall
A Pokemon intended to take either physical or special attacks extremely effectively and consistently over the course of a battle.
Skarmory's enormous physical Defense makes it one of the most sturdy physical wall in the game. It also has access to Spikes, Roost, and Whirlwind, three moves that Skarmory has many opportunities to use.

It would seem that these two differ in that a Tank can dish out a hit, where as a Wall plays as more of a spiker, only, that really describes a spiker, so I'm a little confused as to where a Wall sits in the metagame

In Civilization V multiplayer, all the turns are simultaneous. What if, for example, on the very same turn one ranged unit fires upon a scout. On that very same turn the scout moves out of range.

Since the turns are simultaneous, what happens? Does the scout move without getting hit? Does the scout get hit and then move? Does it get hit and not move at all?

I can't find anywhere that actually specifies the rules for how combat is actually resolved with simultaneous turns. I realized it's actually quite important since in a recent multiplayer game I gave my units a bunch of orders that were, apparently, never executed. And at the beginning of the next turn I was completely wiped out.

texts: A virtual machine to play old Windows 95 and 98 games that has CPU timing?

texts:
Possible Duplicate:
  CPU or framerate limiting on older games

There are some games that used lazy programming and used CPU cycles for timing even into the Windows 95 and 98 era. This leads them to be basically unplayable on modern computers.

There was some discussion of this before however all the the answers are either dirty hacks that may or may not work (Putting your CPU into power save mode) or very limited (Buy a patched version off of GoG; only works with games available on GoG). DOSBox also only works on some windows games, i.e. those are basically DOS games.

The ideal solution would be a virtual machine, as that would remove driver issues and such, and you can use whatever version of windows will work the best, so no emulator problems. However, I don't know of any VM that lets you scale the CPU, they just run off whatever CPU you have. Is there a vitualization solutions that will work for old games?


texts: Does the source champion count as a "nearby ally"?

texts:
Certain items have passives that say they affect "nearby allies", but would these passives affect the source champion themselves?

For example, Locket of the Iron Solari has such a unique passive, Legion:

  UNIQUE – LEGION: Nearby allied minions and champions gain +15 magic resist (1100 range).

It does not specify whether this passive affects the source champion or not. It could be interpreted that since the source champion is allied and also nearby (in a sense), it does affect them. One could also assume that since it is not explicitly stated, it does not affect them.

So does the source champion count as a "nearby ally", or is it not so?

texts: Cactus grows faster with more chunks rendered?

texts:
I'm playing 1.14.2, and I'm trying to figure out why my cactus grows faster when more chunks are rendered. My house is about 20 seconds away by running. Here is the numbers:

Player is in house

16 chunks rendered gives 5 cactus in 10 min
32 chunks rendered gives 17 cactus in 10 min

Player is next to farm

16 chunks rendered gives 27 cactus in 10 min
32 chunks rendered gives 22 cactus per 10 min

The 27->22 for being next to the farm might be from randomness or render distance affecting ticks.

The strange thing is that only 5 cactus gets created, even though the farm is visible to me; so shouldn't the farm also be rendered? Does anyone know why increasing the chunks rendered, although not increasing the farm's visibility, increases the cactus from 5->17?

I've considered that maybe, although visible, most of my farm isn't actually active because the game has a different mechanic for cactus growth.

texts: Will I be able to get all the plants without spending money?

texts:
When picking plants for a level, I notice there are plants like the Snowpea that I could use, if I spend a little real world money. Will I eventually be able to use all of the plants in the game by progressing naturally, or will I have to spend cash to use them?

If there are plants which must be bought using real money, which ones are they?


texts: What factors affect my island's Isabelle star rating?

texts: When working to bring K.K. Slider to my island/town, Isabelle evaluates the island's current image out of five stars and gives specific recommendations on how to improve (get more residents, add some fencing). Are those recs the only factors affecting the rating? If she doesn't mention my weeds (in the inaccessible areas) or fruit on the ground (all over), am I safe to assume that doesn't affect the rating?

texts: Normally I let my games on Steam download at night. Recently I bought a game that because of its size I’d have to let download over night.

texts: Skyrim (PC) How do you make citizens un hostile?

texts:
I'm doing a Dawnguard quest with Serana and it is very challenging (for me at  least). I got very very frustrated and tried to kill her, but she is "important" so it didnt work. I used the command Tdetect so she wouldn't try to kill me, but every time I talk to her she's always like "you never should have come here" and trys to kill me. I can't leave the quest and the last time I saved I had imperial armor, so I cant start a new game because now I have the Nightingale gear.

Is there any type of spell or console command to fix it? I would really apprieciate any help.
