texts: Ethernet Adapter disconnects after large amount of data passes through to an outside network

texts:
edit: so after an egregious amount of testing, I may significantly narrowed down what the problem might be. So basically, my going theory at the moment is when a large amount of data passes through the adapter, it "trips" off and completely disconnects everything. So first reason why I think this is because, I can consistently get this issue to happen, simply by sending a lot of data (in my case I just spawn in a bunch of TnT, blow it up, and voila, no internet for my PC! Furthermore, the adapter will only disconnect if it is sending a lot of data outside my network. If I connect to the server via a local IPv4 everything is fine, but the moment I join via my public IP, internet magically disconnects).
The reason why I think it is either a problem with my adapter itself, or some issue with windows is because this is exclusive to my PC. I have tested this on another computer connected to the same router, also using ethernet, does not disconnect after large amount of data passes through.
So to sum up, when a large amount of information passes through the adapter via public IP, something "trips off", and completely disconnects my PC's internet until I restart.
---------------------------------- OLD
Hopefully the title describes the problem, essentially when my 1.16.4 Minecraft server runs (with people on it from a different network), after a random amount of time (sometimes it 5 minutes, but the longest I've been able to go is around 4 hours), my internet connection (which is ethernet) will completely disconnect. The server itself is fine (as when I join via localhost, OR local ip address) it doesn't kick me out, but everyone else who connects via my public IP (and when I too join via my own public IP), will be kicked out (obviously right? Since it's my internet that no longer works). In addition nothing irregular with server logs so I'm fairly certain the server isn't the issue, but more so something with Windows 10 and people connecting via an outside network.
I would like to mention that perhaps around 2-3 months ago this problem didn't exist, and only suddenly started to happen when I got a new computer, so this makes me believe that it's something with THIS computer and not the router.
Whenever the ethernet disconnects, stopping the server does nothing, neither does disconnecting the cable. I have to completely restart Win10 in order to get my connection back.
Things I have tried--->
I have tried completely disabling Windows Defender Firewall, and having it on with Java as an exception, neither proved to be the solution. I googled and found this thread, where someone suggested to edit my ethernet adapter settings and change the value of "number of transmit buffers" to 512. (this was already the default). However I don't think this is the issue as regardless if there is one person on the server or 10, the result is the same. This is also an issue with multiple version of Minecraft, (have played on 1.12 and 1.16) which further makes me believe that its not a problem with the server, but more so something with windows.
Here is an image of the network adapter settings
I would like to iterate that this issue only occurs when I'm port forwarding, other than that I have incredibly stable internet regardless if I'm just browsing the internet, in a Zoom call, or playing any other game.
If there is any further information I can provide please ask, but as for now here is what I can think off of the top of my head:

texts: My friend is unable to migrate his minecraft account

texts: My friend wants to migrate his minecraft account which was made after 2012 so he needs to login with an e-mail. We want to play realms together but when he puts his info in for migrating, the button just says checking info for half a second and then goes back to migrate account button. But when he puts his username, it says incorrect username or password, he uses his e-mail login when the button just goes back to being a button again. I hate that button. Well, anyway, any help would be appreciated, thanks!

texts: Spouse in Skyrim keeps changing outfit when entering/leaving house

texts:
So in Skyrim I married Senna and bought Lakeview Manor, and used console commands to give my spouse more normal-looking clothes.  However, whenever she crosses the threshhold to the house (either to go wander around outside or to go back in), she will take off all the clothes I gave her and put her standard monk robes back on.  Removing the monk robes with the console makes her simply remove all her clothes whenever she goes through the door.  Either way, I can't get her to keep her new clothes on.

Is there a trick to do this with console commands, or other in-game techniques?  Or will I have to go install a mod of some kind?


texts:
I'm trying to play Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2 in Linux on the Oculus Rift.

I have an ORv1. OS is Debian Jessie. Video card is Geforce GTX 460 SE. Drivers are 331.49.

I can play HL2 without issue in the normal way, 3d acceleration and everything, it runs really well.

OR shows up in nvidia-settings utility without issue. I can extend my desktop onto the OR, or make my main display and the OR overlap. Not sure how I should set things up for HL2 to detect the OR properly, but generally what I have tried to do is have my main desktop be 1920x1080, then have the Oculus Rift set directly to the right, with resolution set to 1280x800. Then when HL2 has launched, I set the video output to fullscreen, monitor 1. (rather than monitor 0, which is my normal desktop) But, I have also tried making my normal monitor and the rift overlap. No luck either way.

I launch HL2 with -vr as required. There is a button "activate virtual reality". When I click it, I get the following errors:

Unable to initialize HMD tracker. Error code 108
Unable to get VRMode adapter from OpenVR

The "virtual reality" option in the video settings is grayed out, but fixed on "enabled".

I have googled these a bit but have found nothing. The only thing I can think of is that there is no vendor or device name string when doing lsusb, perhaps this is causing some sort of issue:

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 2833:0001

Any help would be greatly appreciated!


texts: Which is better: side quests after killing the warrior or Playthrough 2?

texts:
My question is, once I beat the warrior should I do all the sidequests in Normal before starting TVHM or should I go right to TVHM once it becomes available?

I just bought the game and have been playing with some friends who are higher level than me so that we could enjoy the Tiny Tina DLC together.  As a result, I leveled up pretty fast without doing much of the main story quest or side quests.

Now I'm a level 32 commando and haven't finished the main storyline in normal (Just finished "Where angels fear to treat Pt 2").  I get almost no XP from kills on missions.  I still have tons of sidequests.  I imagine some of them might give good loot, or be fun to play.  It it better to go to Playthrough 2 or should i do the sidequests in Normal first?

EDIT: changed question title and some wording for clarity


texts: Is there any way to get Dark Side items besides the vendor on the fleet and random drops?

texts:
I recently went all the way from Light V to Dark V in order to buy the speeder and pet from the Dark Side vendor on the Fleet.  I'm planning on heading back to the light but while I'm here I figure I should take advantage of it (even if some gear won't "work" once I am no longer Dark Side).

I know Dark Side relics, sabers, etc. drop from questing and crew missions all the time, and as mentioned I've been to the DS vendor on the Fleet.  Are there any other ways to get Dark Side items?  Particularly, other vendors or anything that is less common/has additional requirements?


texts: PSP to PSVita PSOne Classic savefile: Cannot access the memory card

texts:
I've read that for transferring a PSP save to Vita, you must copy the folder of the game you want from PSP/SAVEDATA to the PSGAME folder where you set the PSVita's ContentManager to be.

So I tried transfer a save of PSOne Classic FinalFantasy IX from PSP to Vita as described (both PSP and Vita were downloaded directly from PSN, not hacked somehow, k?)

But on Vita, when I launch the FFIX, appears the following message, and the game closes:

  Cannot access the memory card.

Checking the savefile sizes on Vita itself, the PSP save is ~200kb while if I start from scratch on Vita, it's ~450kb.

Anyone experienced this problem? And fixed somehow? I really don't want to start over :-(


texts: Is the toilet in the "Shared Cell" just not enough for the prisoners is contains?

texts:
I thought I would try out the Quick Build, "Shared Cell". This is a dormitory with 2 bunk beds and 1 toilet. I polished it up with a Bookcase, TV, radio, shower/drain, window, payphone, and a chair.

I then cloned it 12 times, to form the bulk of my "minimum security" prison's accommodations. These are, more or less, the only toilets in my prion. (There is also one in the holding cell, but that is it).

Now, it seems like my prisoners constantly need to go to the toilet. The Bladder speech bubble keeps showing. For example, when they are in the chapel, or doing Education, more or less all the time.

I am wondering if the one toilet between four prisoners is just not enough and if maybe this is contributing to my daily stabbings.

Almost all there regime is set to Work/Free time -- which I assume means they will go back to their shared cell at this time to use the toilet.


texts: It is possible to complete the October Frontier challenge in 48 days without cheating?

texts:
Today, DragonZH posted a record time of 1 month, 19 days for the October frontier challenge to get 1000 pumpkins in storage.
Knowing that a month is 28 days, and rounding the last day up gives a total of 48 days.
On paper, a farm generates 2 pumpkins per day, so an average of 20 fully productive farms would be needed.
The fastest 2 workshop solution I can think of to get off the starting area is 25 days long on paper. 3 workshops does not improve this.
Workshop building #1 (1 day)
Scaffolding1 (3 days)
Construction 1 (6 days)
Boatyard (2 days)
Clipper (8 days)
Harbor#2 (2 days)
Scouting Tower (3 days)

With the following made in parallel with the above: Workshop building #2, Stonemasonry, Boat building, Harbor #1
Given this, I think that escaping the starting area by boat must be slower than just staying put and growing pumpkins right there.
Fully uncovering the starting area with watch towers can be done in 3 batches of watch towers, constructing in a total of 9 days. Considering that energy production and lumberjack construction needs to happen to support the tower batches, it's closer to 15 days of dramatically less than 20 farms. That leaves 33 days for pumpkin production, requiring close to 30 fully productive pumpkin farms.
There is no way to place 30 fully productive pumpkin farms on the starting area, there's just not enough green area to do it.
So what am I missing?
Here's my 3 month 10 day layout with 17 fully productive pumpkin farms.


texts: Does the order in which you finish Broken Age (Act I) affects the ending?

texts:
Again, I must stress, severe "Broken Age" spoilers.

I've finished Broken Age (Act I) by first playing with Vella, switching to Shay near the end, and after finishing with Shay - getting back to the last few puzzles with Vella.

  When I've finished with Shay - the game ended with Shay fainting on the outside of the ship. When I've finished with Vella - the game ended with Vella fainting on the beach, and then meeting Shay and 'switching places' with him. If I would've finished the game with Vella - would the game ended with her fainting, and the final sequence appearing only after I've finished with Shay?

Would the final sequence be different in any way?

(Just to be clear - this is the ending sequence I've seen)

Other questions show that their world freezes while loading, but mine loads just fine. There is a small window of time when you join a world where you can move around, but it then freezes. It's very weird.

texts: How can I keep my cursor from locking on in Lord of the Rings Online?

texts:
When I'm playing Lord of the Rings Online I've come across something pretty annoying: whenever I right click on an NPC to speak to them or right click on a quest item to collect it, etc. my cursor stays locked on even after I've finished speaking with them or collected said quest item. The frustrating part is that when I walk away my camera is turned to focus on that thing leaving me to have to spin the camera around just to face forward, even though I'm finished interacting with whatever it was.

It is pretty annoying having to press ESC or click off of that item just to keep my camera from facing it while I'm trying to walk away. I know pressing ESC is a pretty simple fix and it's kind of juvenile for me to complain about something so easily "fixed" but is there any other way to prevent this from happening? Anything in the menus that will automatically take my selection off of whatever it is I just interacted with once I'm finished?

The main reason I'm annoyed by it is because it happens even when I right click something just to interact. I could understand if it happened when I left clicked because obviously I selected it, but when you just want to open a shop menu with an NPC or collect a quest item by a brief right click, it becomes a nuisance, especially on collect quests when I'm constantly having to press ESC.

texts: What is the fastest way to get a high multiplier and score?

texts:
With the new Scorepocalypse spin-off from All Zombies Must Die, I have the problem that I am sometimes already at wave 50, but score is still around 100.000 only.
Silver Medal is 400.000 Score.

From what I understand, Zombies with status effects ( sonic, fire, mutated etc. ) give the multiplier as long as they live and it drops when zombies with a special status die.

But in the same time, those special zombies are very fast and become a threat pretty quick.

So what is the best strategy to acummulate a high score and multiplier early on and are there any other factors that help?

I fell like I never hit any attacks. Half the times I click the attack buttom nothing happens, and the other half the enemy just blocks or reverses. I've managed to get the hang of blocks and reversals myself, but it takes forever to win fights just by blocking. Even if I have a knife or a staff equipped, my attacks rarely hit. The only way I can kill enemies is to throw the knife at them, or to patiently block their attacks and hope they don't call for help.

Ok, so let me start of by saying I am deployed.
I was pretty excited when I found out that there's civ 5 for PC, and I ordered one. I waited for the game for over 3 weeks (mail takes that long to get here), and for past week I was running to post office everyday to see if it came in early. Today it did (great, I have a day off tomorrow), but I have been trying to install it for past 6 hours!!!! all because of that stupid Steam!!! It keeps giving me errors, first it wouldn't start updating, i searched all over to find solutions... as soon as I fixed one thing, another thing came up, when I fixed that, another came up... deleted blob, installed separate steam.exe to replace the other one, renamed to -clearbeta, ran the safe mode, firewall/antivirus off, etc etc... it keeps telling me to either connect to internet, or the system being temporarily unavailable, etc... I am tired! I finally have a day off, and I spent $50 on this game, for me to get another one is 3 weeks! I couldn't care less for online gaming (plus we are not allowed to do that). I wrote an email to steam, nothing from them. Please help!
p.s. i read something about working with router settings, but no can do. We get free wifi here, and are not allowed to touch it.

I'm especially confused that some heroes appear to work better in one of the side lanes, rather than the other. The only differences are the position of the shop relative to the towers, and the towers are a bit asymmetrically placed too.

texts: Cannot complete second part of 'I Could Make You Care'

texts:
I'm stuck at the second part of the Companion quest 'I Could Make You Care', for the companion Veronica Santangelo, where you need to find 3 technologies, either:

Vault 22's farm info
Guided Rangefinder (aka Euclid's C Finder)
Pulse Gun from Vault 34

Previous to this quest I had already completed the two quests 'There Stands the Grass', and given the info to Thomas Hildern. I had also already completed the quest 'That Lucky Old Sun', and diverted power to Archimedes II (for Euclid C Finder).

So even though it pops up saying I need to find the range finder, and go to Vault 22 to find the info, and sets up waypoints, going to the waypoint doesn't complete any objectives, nor does it update, so even though I have the Euclid's C-Finder in my inventory and can call down orbital strikes, the objective still says "Find information about the rangefinder" and "Go to Vault 22 and search for the info".

So I tried the 3rd option, going to Vault 34 and retrieving the Pulse Gun. I did that, and returned to Elder McNamara, and the objective showed up as completed, saying "Return the technology to Elder McNamara". However, Veronica will not trigger any conversations regarding the technology, as the Wikia says she would, and talking to Elder McNamara grants no quest dialogue.

So now I'm stuck at this point, and have no idea what to do.  How am I supposed to finish this part of the quest? I have tried several of the fixes they said, such as putting the Pulse Gun in Veronica's inventory, and taking it out again, but that doesn't do anything.

We have an online gaming crew who regularly play co-op together on the Playstation 4.

Playing Battlefield 1 we often field two squads/ 10 players - which is more than the limit of 8 players in PS4 Party Chat.

We'd like to keep it social and have our squads co-operate on the same side. If we run two PS4 Parties of 5 players our squads can't communicate and can get split up.

Is there any way we can have all 10 players on the same voice chat, in two squads, on the same side in Battlefield 1?


texts: How does Final Spark interact with kills?

texts:
Recently Lux got buffed and received a new effect on her ultimate. Now in addition to its damage (and passive proc/refresh) it also refunds 10/30/50% of the cooldown if it kills an enemy.

How does it work exactly? For example, if I get a double kill with Final Spark will it reduce the cooldown once per Champion, or just once per cast?

Furthermore, does it reduce before or after Cooldown Reduction is taken into account?

texts: When do Steam Workshop mods download/sync?

texts:
I currently have poor internet for downloading games or anything large (i.e. around 150 KB/s maximum download rate).

When I subscribed to a very large Skyrim mod (SMIM) via the Workshop, the mod never got downloaded.

After an hour of playing Skyrim without it, waiting for Skyrim to sync and the works, it never started downloading. Data Files on Skyrim's launcher showed clear lack of any SMIM .esp files and refused to acknowledge that SMIM wasn't downloaded or installed.

Eventually, I had to unsubscribe on the workshop and download it via the Skyrim Nexus.

I don't want to do this, because I like how easy the Workshop is, especially since I have multiple computers that I play Skyrim on.

This brings me to my question: When does Steam Workshop mods download/sync? Can I force-sync Workshop mods?

Note: The Skyrim launcher didn't work for syncing mods. As a matter of fact, it said I was "All up to date!"

edit: This question is under the assumtion that all Steam workshops are managed the same through the Steam client.

texts: Which skill does Kills-in-Shadow use for Two-Handed Weapons?

texts:
Kills-in-Shadow has two skills named "Untamed Might". The description reads:

The wording  on this makes me wonder if Kills-in-Shadow uses the one-handed skill or the two-handed skill for Two-Handed weapons.

texts:
I have never played World of Warcraft. The thing is, whenever a new MMO is released, people often give feedback wherein MMOs just copy the WoW formula and slap F2P onto it for quick profits. As I try out these new MMOs, I notice that they all have a linear story, meaning the users are almost always given direct orders as to what to do next. It's not a discover-new-quests-as-you-explore-the-game kind.

Since they say that these are just copies of World of Warcraft, I want to know if WoW has linear story progress as well? Most I see is that people complain that the quests are too linear on these new MMOs. If WoW is indeed linear too, how come they aren't complaining about WoW doing that?

Can anyone enlighten me please? As much as I'd like to give WoW a try, the installer files are just too big for my puny connection to handle and isn't worth justifying getting especially if I'm just going to check out some minor specifics in the game.

texts: Portal 2 Peer Review DLC didn't download

texts:
I have downloaded the Portal 2 DLC from the PSN and then installed the DLC onto my system.

When I go to play the game, the only new thing in any of the menus is "Download Free DLC" in the main menu. When I choose that, it says "there are no new items to purchase". When I go into co-op, the new area that is supposed to be open is not. I have completed both the single player and co-op parts of the game.

Anyone have any idea why I can't access the DLC?

texts:
I am trying to complete the Going Postal quest in KoL, and I need to talk to the woman who is supposedly at the Hippy Camp.

Problem is, I go there and I get the standard verge of war adventures, instead of triggering the one I need for the Going Postal quest.

In the wiki, it mentions that I can get what I need after I've finished the Mysterious Island quest from the cavewoman, and also that there should be someone there before I finish that quest line, but unlike the other locations, it doesn't seem to trigger.

Does the fact I am on the verge of war prevent me from getting further in this quest? Do I need to either not have the Mysterious Island quest started at all (aka not recieved it from the Council), or completed to acquire what I need for the Going Postal quest?

texts: Location with High Salvagable Materials Drop Rate

texts:
So with the February Monthly Achievement; we need to salvage 500 items.  This comes out to roughly 18 per day (assuming you play every day this month); but for the sake of argument lets say I want to salvage 25 items per day.

What areas have mobs that will drop salvageable items at an acceptable rate?

Ideally; I'd think you'd want enemies that would typically drop armor/weapons.  Ones that drop rare crafting materials (while helpful) seems to be less important.  Also; it seems like you'd want to avoid enemies that drop bags (as you get no salvage points for them).

My assumption is that I'd want to run dungeons a bunch of times (3 fractals seem to fill up a good chunk of my inventory) as well as areas with lots of humanoid enemies (pirate/bandit camps)

Another viable strategy seems to be spinning up a new alt and ranking up my crafting skill and then salvaging the created items.  (Currently my main is an ele with Tailor/Artificer; so fire up a ranger with Leatherworking/Huntsman)


texts: Isshin, the Sword Saint phase 2 no spear

texts:
As can be seen in this speedrun it is possible to stop Isshin to draw the spear in his second phase (and presumably also 3rd phase).

The question is, how can I achieve that? Do I constantly need to stagger him, or what exactly do I need to do to stop him from drawing the spear?

My best try so far, was stopping him around 3-4 times using the Long Spark, but this just didn't cut it. After that he still drew the spear, so this does not seem to be the right way to do it.

As the comments on the video are mostly in chinese (so I guess), I have no means to see if anyone actually explains that tactic there

texts: Should I prioritize Pokémon on their base strengths or try and shore up a weaker stat?

texts:
I have two Beldum and I'm trying to decide which one to evolve into a Metagross.  Their stats are....

Beldum #1). 15 attack, 15 defense, 14 stamina
Beldum #2). 15 attack, 14 defense, 15 stamina

So they are basically identical except for one has better defense and one has better stamina (or HP).

The site gameinfo.io shows that Metagross's stats are...

Attack  257
Defense 247
Stamina 160

So it looks like its strengths are Attack and Defense.  Maybe that means I should focus on those and evolve Beldum #1?  Or should I shore up the weakness and choose Beldum #2, which has slightly better stamina?

I was playing on a multiplayer server with the owner and had been given OP privileges.

I had turned on Creative mode and activated the 'God' command, but before the owner left, he de-opped me. Now I can not get out of Creative or God mode.

So I've tried:

Killing myself & falling into the void
Going to the middle of the nether with coordinates.
Making a portal but I can not light up the portal (Multiplayer server rules).

None of which worked.

Finally I wait for another player to come online, but the player is also not an op so I cannot teleport to him.

Please help me! The only thing I can do is to wait for the Owner of the server!

texts: Do monsters spawn based on the block they are spawned on, or the gap above the block where they actually appear?

In Minecraft, some monsters will only spawn within a specific range of block height (Y coordinates). For example, slimes will spawn on level 51 through 69.

Using the slimes as an example, if I place a block at level 69, will slimes be able to spawn on it? Or does the block need to be at level 68 for slimes to be able to spawn on it?

texts: Does the Body Blows skill apply to more than hand-to-hand attacks?

texts:
In Dead Island Riptide, John Morgan, the hand-to-hand combat specialist, has a skill in the third tier of the Combat tree called "BODY BLOWS".

"Gain chance to perform very powerful fist and kick attacks, with the ability to knock down your enemy.
1: Critical attack chance increased: 5%
2: Critical attack chance increased: 10%
3: Critical attack chance increased: 15%"

To borrow a saying, "text trumps table." So, I trust the second half, the numbers more than the implication in the description. However, this much of a critical attack chance increase applying to all attacks seems overpowered, so I doubt that it works with more than hand-to-hand attacks.

Note: John Morgan's attacks don't change, at least not in terms of animation and indubitable effect, with the acquisition of this skill.

Does the bonus apply to all types of attacks or just hand-to-hand ones?

texts:
After changing my strategy a number of times, I've finally managed to get to Satan as a Crusader.  However, I think I barely tickled him before dying.  I've used trial-and-error to improve my strategy up to this point, but since it took 10 or 15 games just to get to him once, I'd like to have some idea of what I'm doing the next time I manage to get to the bottom of the dungeon.

Specifically:

What is the best armor for this battle?  In the high scores, I see lots of plate and leather armor wearers.  This seems odd to me, since Satan uses Unholy Fires every turn when you're at a distance, and his melee attack looks magical as well.  The only physical damage comes from the bats as far as I can tell.
What is the best weapon setup?  Since Satan's melee attack knocks you back several tiles, I thought bow and arrows might be the answer, but then you don't get to wear a shield.  I found that I was taking so much damage each turn I could barely keep myself alive, let alone do significant damage.  I guess you could throw arrows and keep your shield, but their accuracy and damage seems greatly diminished when thrown.
What skills are most effective?  I tried using Searing Blade, but he didn't get "softened".  Is he immune to status effects?  Is Heal worth maxing out?  Is Whack of Glory effective when you can only actually melee attack him one out of every four or five turns?
Is it even possible to get the necessary equipment on one playthrough, or are you pretty much required to build up an epic locker stash of +5 everything or enough food to let you level up to 15?

Finally, although I've been playing as Crusader, if anyone has experience as a Wizard, I'd welcome that strategy.


texts: Pros and cons of periodically running yourself into wall in Temple Run?

texts:
In Temple Run if I run myself into the wall in quick succession, I will be killed by the flesh-eating monkeys.

Is this a viable strategy?

Are there other pros and cons to this strategy that I have not considered?

texts: What new quests are available with the Dark difficulty level?

texts:
The manual for The Witcher 2 lists the various difficulty level, most of which seems to be pretty standard. The last one did catch my eye though:

  Dark – for very experienced gamers. This difficulty level allows you to acquire dark
  items and grants you access to quests which are not available on other difficulties.

Although it is very unlikely that I'll actually be able to play at this difficulty level, I am rather curious about what these quests and items are, and how they affect the story (use spoiler markup as necessary).


texts:
In Chapter 2 of Möbius Final Fantasy, there are several paths between battles that are blocked off. In most cases, I can either find a key or go around the long way and get to the blocked area.

However, the portion of the map labeled Sinking Tombs does not appear to have a back path. As you can see, I've completely encircled it, but the only road in is blocked. Unlike unlockable roadblocks, where a key or later action will open up access, this road displays an X. It does not tell me what key I need to find, as the locks do, it simply says "you cannot go this way. You must find another route."

How do I get to the tombs?


texts: Does the amount of levels spent on enchanting affect the magnitude of potential enchants?

texts:
The MineCraft pre-releases have finally implemented enchanting, which gives us something to do with all the experience we've been collecting since 1.8.

The enchanting screen features random requirements annotated with nonsense phrases in Commander Keen's Galactic Alphabet script, and these choices, other than the amount of levels required, are identical.

I know that placing bookshelves near an enchanting table increases the maximum level cost available (I've seen as high as fifty), but is there any point to this?

Does spending more levels to enchant an item provide more potent, better, enchants?

texts: Are there any preferable stats for World vs World combat?

texts:
I am currently leveling my Guardian, and even though I'm not yet level 80, I'm already planning my gear in upfront.

Since I really like World vs World, I was wondering whether it's better to be a "Glass Cannon" or a "Tanky" in this brutal environment.

I may be wrong, but World vs World seems to me to be a place where numbers are better than quality when it comes to players - in that more players is better than well geared players. Am I wrong in this?

So theoretically, being able to stay alive longer would be better for the team.

Which are the "better" stats to stack when doing Player vs Player in Guild Wars 2?

Is there any merit to his statements? I tried what he said, and although it seemed like more dropped, it may have just been circumstance. I may not be searching for this correctly either, since all I can find is old videos from 2012-ish describing glitches and hacks.

When I have all games finished with the current batch of people, and I start up Mii Plaza, what will happen?

texts:
Of all of the bosses I've encountered in Desktop Dungeons, this guy seems like the most difficult.  He only has about 200 hit points, but he has death protection of 50.  That means that after I get him down to 1 hit point, I have to hit him 50 more times.  And if I walk away, he heals back up.  He also deals about 75 damage each time I attack.  It doesn't seem like there are enough potions/level-ups/other healing possibilities to attack him that many times.

So how can I possibly defeat him?  I've tried to think of ways to abuse poison or the monk's damage resistance to make it possible, but I've never even come close.

Update: The Indomitable has been rebalanced so that the first couple times you defeat him, he only has death protection of 20.  I barely succeeded in beating that...

texts: How can I force a dragon to engage in combat?

texts:
Many times in the game i've found myself looking at a flying dragon kind of trolling me.
Sometimes the dragon just keeps flying around in circles or ovals without landing or even atacking me. I've tried to walk around to nearby locations and to the points where he stops for a while, but it usually does not work and I ignore him and keep walking until we both get far enough for him to disappear.

Why does this happen? Is it a terrain issue? I mean, since the game is enormous, they probably couldn't find a way to make dragons fight in every place, so you kind of have to reach a "fight area" so that a dragon will atack you and engage in combat. Is this it?

Is there any way i can force them to atack me other than using "Dragonrend" which is too late-game for most of my characters?

texts: How Exactly are Sweet Medals Calculated in New Pokémon Snap?

texts: Does anyone know exactly how Sweet Medals are calculated? When you give Sweet Medals out to other players they are always in multiples of 10, however checking your own Sweet Medals received will show that you can receive any value, such as 1, 2, 3, etc. It seems as though as well as the multiples of 10 you get from other players you receive an odd amount of bonus medals from somewhere.

texts: Does the Quarian "history lesson" change if I've seen Tali unmasked?

texts:
During a particular mission on Rannoch, I found myself viewing certain historical videos from earlier in Quarian history.

After viewing one of the videos, Shepard remarks that, given the age of the video, the Quarians should have not been wearing masks.  However, I was told by my guide that the video was being drawn from my mind, and I couldn't know what Quarians looked like under the masks since I'd never seen one without it.

However, I believe it's possible to see Tali without her mask on in some iteration of the Mass Effect series.  If I had seen Tali without her mask, would this sequence have been different?

texts: Simulate analogue steering wheel input from third party software like xPadder

texts:
I currently have a steering wheel connected to my htpc, running Windows 8. Since it doesn't work with (or get recognized by) all the games I play, I use xpadder.

As far as I understand, it simply presses the associated arrow key when I turn the wheel.

What I would like is a software to simulate more frequent key presses of the arrow keys the more I turn the wheel.

Example:

Tilting a little -> 100 presses / second

Tilting more -> 200 presses / second

Tilting max -> Hold down key

Right now what i currently have to do with the wheel is constantly shaking it a bit right when I just want to turn a little bit right, and so on.

I was looking for a simple teleportation system that let players teleport after they do a certain action. My idea was to make players teleport after they drop a certain item.

The problem with this however is that it teleports the player relatively closest to the command block, not the item obviously. How can I  make the player closest to the item teleport to a certain coordinate?

texts: How can Astaroth get his opponents out of his face?

texts:
Astaroth is a long-range fighter. He has long windups, sweeping attacks, and tons of options if your opponent gives you space to work.

Unfortunately, most opponents know this, and don't give you space to work. They get right up in your face and just keep up the pressure, and as Astaroth, I don't know what to do but keep blocking and hope they get tired of pressing buttons.

In Soul Calibur 4, his 6K was a really fast, reliable option to get out of these tight spots, but it seems they've slowed this move's startup down considerably. Throws are too slow and are usually ducked or interrupted.

How does Astaroth get his opponent away from him so he can breathe and start annihilating?


texts: Is there a reason to reset after hitting diminishing returns for Karma and Paragon?

texts:
From my first reset I got 149 Paragon and 23 Karma, which is nice, because it gave +23 Happiness and +149% productivity (on most resources), noticeably increasing my resource production.

Now from the second reset I got another 81 Paragon for a total of 230, but my productivity only increased from 149% to 188%. Similarly, Karma only increased from 23 to 27.8. This makes sense because there are diminishing returns for both Paragon (capped at 200%) and Karma Kittens (some kind of square root function).

Since it took me a few weeks of sporadic playing to get from first to second reset, I'm now wondering if further resets would actually be any good. If the time spent building my village to, say, 150 Kittens will only yield a handful percentage points of increased productivity after resetting, I'd not consider it worthwhile.

Or are there other uses for large amounts of Karma and Paragon that I'm currently not aware of? I know there's Metaphysics, which allows you to spend Paragon, but I don't know how much I would need there.

texts: What is the fastest way to get 99 extra lives?

texts:
One of the trophies present in all of the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy games is to amass 99 lives. I'm specifically interested in knowing the best farming place for Crash Bandicoot: Warped.

While collecting gems, I ended up losing all of my lives on one of the bonus stages, at which point I figured it would be best to stock up on lives sooner than later, so I wouldn't have to worry about Game Overs.

Currently, I've been using Orient Express (stage 3) to farm Wumpa fruits to get extra lives. Upon first loading the game each time, this stage can give around 5 extra lives. However, I don't want to constantly restart the game to get 5 lives at a time until I hit 99, nor do I want to play that level 33+ times to get 2-3 lives a run.

Is there a way to quickly get 99 extra lives to earn the A Stitch in Time Saves 99 trophy?

What are the necessary conditions to establish a route? If they are met, how do I improve the chances that it actually happens?


texts: How to sneak into the river in Mission 13?

texts:
In Mission 13 of Sniper: Ghost Warrior (the one where you're playing as the spotter), after the target has been assassinated and you're escaping the area, you come to a bridge with a patrol on the other side and are told to sneak into the river. However, that involves crossing a couple of metres of exposed ground to the left of the bridge, and when I do that, the enemies instantly spot me (threat meter goes immediately to full red), open fire and kill me in a couple of seconds. I've tried crawling as well as running, but no luck.

How am I supposed to get past that section? Is it a glitch of some sort, or is there a trick to it? So far my workaround has been to "snipe" as many of the enemies as possible from behind cover with the silenced pistol, then run to the river and hope the remaining ones don't kill me. But I doubt that's how it's supposed to be done. Any ideas?

I'm playing on the PC and on medium difficulty, in case that matters.

texts: Do plants in clay pots have to be offscreen to grow?

texts:
I'm starting a clay pot farm in Terraria with a modest two pots. One's got daybloom, the other moonglow. I didn't see any information that suggested they had to be offscreen to bloom, so I put my pots in my main base. It's been 5 or 6 days since I planted them, and they're still just little green shoots.

I suspect they have to be offscreen, but I've spent a couple of the past few days mining and expected that would give them enough time to bloom. What the heck did I do wrong?


texts:
Thus far I've been playing a thief/mage hybrid class in KoA, but I rarely find it advantageous to sneak or go for sneak attacks.  Moving while sneaking is extremely slow, and most of the time I find I can resolve battles quickly by just jumping right in with my daggers and chakrams.  Enemies also seem to notice me quickly.

This all combines together, so that when facing off against a group of enemies, I might sneak for 30 seconds and perhaps, if I'm lucky, I'll surprise one and do a bit of extra damage compared to my normal attack.  Then the rest tend to immediately notice me, and I must dispatch them in "normal" combat.

I believe through a combination of Skill and Ability points, I could eliminate many of the drawbacks and disadvantages to sneaking and sneak attacking, but this has a significant opportunity cost.  Is there really much of a benefit to these skills and abilities?  Does it ever make more sense to sneak than to just rush in, weapons blazing?

texts: in XCOM how do I fire or choose another soldier

texts:
I just got myself the new XCOM, started the singleplayer campagin and went through the first mission, got back to HQ and made some choices and then comes the second mission.

Player is directed to place one of its soldiers inside the door, then its veteran atop the roof and then it is are free to place the last two as it see fit, the enemies turn and they fire at it's guy on the roof but miss.

Players turn, I select the guy on the roof, enter tactical mode and select an alien to fire at but nothing happens. Selecting OK doesn't work, pressing with the mouse doesn't. I am not allowed to throw a grenade ort fire a rocket or even select another soldier or move this one. Stuck in tcatical mode but can't do anything.

First time it happened I wondered if it was a bugg or if I missed something in the tutorial of the first battle but restarting, playing through again and same thing happens again..

Even been through the stage when I pressed every thing on the screen and then everything on the keyboard to get somewhere but no luck.

...frustrated but gratefull for assistance.


texts: Can I view which cities are low on food or have no food without clicking each one?

texts:
I'm at a point where I have around 40 cities (I kept playing after winning just for fun) and the stats screen popped up for "Most Well Fed" and I noticed my number was extremely low. I have farmland up the wazoo, so I was wondering which cities weren't so well-fed so maybe I could work on getting those specific ones some food, or halt population growth there so they don't run out of food.

I can't seem to find any screen that will outline all my cities and how much food they have, but I don't really want to click through every single city to look at the stats. I know that when a city starts starving, the red citizen icon will start appearing to notify you of that, but I'd rather not wait until that point because that will affect happiness until that extra citizen dies off from the food shortage.

Is there any simple way to view the food (and possibly other) stats for each city all at once? Or perhaps some other way to find starving cities?

texts:
I'm totally badass and stealthy, but this gun is an exercise in frustration to use. I don't know if I am doing something wrong...

The gun has no crosshair. This makes it impossible to aim. I end up reloading my save about 10 times because I miss my target, and this is supposed to be 'A silent, long-ranged, precision weapon that fires tranquilizer darts to effortlessly subdue targets without permanent injury.'

I have some kind of addon where I am supposed to hold e, which activates something, but try as I might it seems to make no difference at all to anything, still no crosshair appears and it's as dreadful as before.

I was hoping to be able to snipe people with it, but it has an effective range of about 2 feet, so it's only used if I can't be bothered to step forward and punch someone, or to take down two people at once.

Please tell me I'm missing something? I'm about half way through the game but this has been bugging me since the start.

texts: Is using Steam Achievement Manager (SAM) against Steam rules?

texts:
First off, I'll give some background on why I'm asking this: I enjoy Steam achievement hunting, so I have no intention of unlocking all achievements.

However, there are several games (E.g. Spiral Knights) where I have every achievement but one. This wouldn't bother me, except these achievements are no longer achievable due to changes in the game, making it impossible for me to get the 100% stat on a game that I have actually completed.

Is it against Valve's policies/rules to use an achievement "cheat"?

Ideally I'm looking for some official documentation. (Chances are I won't actually use anything, but I'd like to know the possible ramifications if I did)

I have seen this quote from a volunteer moderator on the steam forums, but it is only regarding VAC (The in-game anti-cheat), Ideally I'd like to know about any other possible issues.

  Valve Anti-Cheat does not ban people who use steam achievement managers, nor will he be manually banned. I guess you could report him as a suspected cheater.

texts: Do I have to be in communication with the game servers to register distance towards hatching an egg?

texts:
My brother and I went on a walk together to try and hatch eggs we'd been working on. However, at the end of the walk, he had registered significantly more distance towards hatching his egg than I had. We both had the app open and our phones unlocked for pretty much the entire walk, but my brother did seem to be having better luck with data reception/getting the servers to respond than I was.

I theorized that because my phone was not communicating as readily with the game servers, stretches of the walk where my phone failed to report distance traveled to the game servers also didn't count towards hatching my egg. Is there evidence that distance traveled has to be reported to the server to count towards hatching an egg (as opposed to distance towards hatching an egg being tracked primarily by my phone, without server involvement)?

texts:
When I hitch a ride with an eagle in Ski Safari, I usually try one of two things: keeping my flight horizontal, so the eagle can take me as far as possible before it poofs away; or directing it up at about a 45-degree angle, increasing my distance both vertically and horizontally, so that when the eagle poofs away I can continue to gain distance while I fall.

I'm not sure, but it feels like I don't maintain my forward momentum while falling as much as I should (or would in a real physics world..), so that's why I go for option 1 sometimes.

So: Which gets me farther? Are there other ways of using eagles that are more efficient that I haven't thought of yet?

The reason why i want to marry them matrilineally is because i want them to breed more kinsmen so i can further strenghten my dynasty and occasionally get a weak claim or two, but it seems i am only able to send them off into regular marriages, which to me, seems like a waste of good women, since they dont even give me alliances.

Is there a way to lure some sucker from another court into marrying them matrielineally?
Also, incest is not an option, i dont want to risk having inbreds in my glorious dynasty.

My system specs:

Windows 8.1
AMD Athlon II X4 630
AMD Radeon HD 7800 (2 GB)
20 GB RAM


texts: Why are there files in my End and Nether regions?

texts:
In this world, I haven't visited the End or the Nether yet, so the /DIM and /DIM-1 folders have both been empty.

At some point today, after building a long rail line, I noticed that there is now a 12kb /region/r.1.1.mca in both folders, even though I haven't been to either dimension! The files are missing in my backup from yesterday, so I know they were just created.

This is a single-player map, so that precludes the possibility of another server user having visited and caused chunks to be generated.

Where did they come from? Why is Minecraft generating chunks for dimensions I haven't visited?

texts: Are there any benefits to food that isn't favoured by anything?

texts: For example, Carrots are a type of veggie that is no slime's favourite. Same with Pogofruit and Hen Hens being no one's favourite. Is there a reason to grow/breed these on your ranch, or are they entirely inferior to other food?


texts: What are the different colors and what are their main characteristics?

texts: How many card colors are in Artifact, and how do they differ from each other?


texts: Does the Trueshot Aura ( Pristress of the Moon) effect huntress?

texts:
The ability Trueshot Aura of the Hero Pristress of the Moon from the Night elves gives bonus damage to ranged units. Officially huntress are considered Melee units. However I have seen the combination hunter + Pristress w. Aura. I have also read, that this is considered a strong combo.

I therefore wonder, whether huntress gain positive affect by the trueshot aura.


texts: Is it worth using the most expensive salvage kits on low level items?

texts: Is it worth using master's salvage kits on loot from low level areas? Will I get rare materials from them, or would it rather be more efficient (profit wise) to use low level kits on low level items?


texts: Can all wells spawn rare (purple) beams?

texts: I've tossed 20+ wishing pieces into the well to the right of Hammerlock's entrance without any success.  Now I'm wondering if it is possible for that well to spawn rare beams or at all, or did I just have a run of bad luck?
