texts: What happens when I receive cards for a character that is maxed out?

texts: Is there a connection between The Master and MODUS?

texts:
I've been playing Fallout76, and I've recently finished the quest line "One of us".
While completing this quest, I've had the distinct feeling that I had encountered MODUS before.

After thinking about it for a while, I think it's because the way MODUS talks and emotes, reminds me heavily of The Master from the original fallout.

Is there some link between the two?
If not, is there another similar character in the fallout universe?


texts: Why won't my minecart spawner spawn minecarts?

texts:
I'm attempting to make a Spawner which will generate Minecarts. The command I'm using is:

/setblock ~ ~ ~ mob_spawner 0 replace {EntityId:"MinecartRideable"}

That certainly creates a Spawner with a Minecart inside, but it never spawns one. On the other hand, if I make a Cow Spawner:

/setblock ~ ~ ~ mob_spawner 0 replace {EntityId:"Cow"}

it starts spawning Cows just fine. Why are Minecarts different?

I'm running Minecraft 1.7.9, single-player creative, with cheats.

texts: Are there any consistent differences between the Standard and Vox versions of a weapon?

texts:
In BioShock: Infinite, you generally see two versions of the same class of weapon, a standard one used by Columbia forces and another used by the Vox Populi.  For example, the Columbia Carbine and the Vox Burstgun, or the Columbia Shotgun and the Vox Heater.

Are there any consistent differences between these weapon versions?  For example, do Vox weapons do more damage but have lower accuracy, or less damage but a higher firing rate?

Or are all the weapons unique, and it's just coincidence that there's one of each type for each faction?

texts: Consistently Unable To Connect To Minecraft (Login, Local LAN Server)

texts:
My kids have recently started enjoying Minecraft Pocket Edition, and it's a lot of fun to play with them.  Of course, being hosted on a phone, the world isn't exactly persistent.  We pretty much have a day or two to build things and then we start over.  So I figured I'd look into setting up a proper local Minecraft server that we can play from actual computers (it's my understanding Pocket Edition can't use a proper server).

Understand that I have every intention of buying Minecraft, provided that it actually works...

The first thing I did was set up a server on my Linux box.  Following the wiki, I set up a server on my Linux box (and ended up using one of the control scripts available as well).  All appeared to be working well from that end, but that's just on the command line so far.

On my Mac I've downloaded Minecraft 1.5.1.  When launching, it asked me for a login.  So I registered an account.  However, even though I can login just fine on the website, the game client always rejects the login.  After a while (most of the day), the "Play Offline" option became available anyway.  So, on my Mac at least, I'm still able to play offline and successfully connect to the LAN server and play the game.

So I went about trying the same thing on a couple of Windows PCs.  (One running XP, one running 7, one running 8.)  All of them exhibit the same "Login Failed" error consistently.  One of them, after a while, allowed me to "Play Offline."  I can play single-player, but attempting to connect to the LAN server results in a Java socket exception.  The other two PCs I only began testing recently, so the "after a while" for "Play Offline" hasn't elapsed yet.

I've found a lot of discussions online (forums, YouTube videos, etc.) which address various underlying causes of the failed login.  Some claim that all one needs to do is change one's password on the website, but that didn't make a difference in my case.  Others suggest that it's a firewall problem, but I don't believe that to be the case this time either.  It happens on both Windows and Mac here, and I can confirm that the Windows box used for initial testing inside my LAN has the Windows Firewall disabled entirely.

This seems to be an awful lot of trouble for what is a massively popular game.  Is this normal?  So, to summarize, my questions are:

Why does my login always fail?
How can I resolve that socket exception?

Ultimately I'm just looking to have a successful end-to-end run of the game.  Again, I'll gladly buy it if it actually works for me.  (Buying a copy for my daughter would make for a great reward for recent good behavior on her part, actually.)

So what is the benefit of getting the ore block instead of diamond?


texts: Ashe Q. How exactly does her new spell work?

texts:
Ashe was reworked a while ago, and her Q has changed.

Ranger's Focus:

  If Ashe has 5 stacks of Focus on activation, Ranger's Focus
  will also cause each of Ashe's basic attacks to fire a flurry of five
  arrows. Each arrow deals modified damage that stacks multiplicatively
  with Frost Shot and benefits from life steal. The
  flurry will trigger on-attack effects five times but on-hit effects
  are only applied once.

What would the total damage be at lvl 5 Q with 5 stacks of focus after a single flurry?
Which on-attack effects would be useful to have and how would they apply?

I know that calculating the exact damage is not possible because it depends on many factors (including items, runes, masteries and mostly how long Ashe can stand still and deal damage). An approximate value however would do.

texts:
In Stardew Valley, you are supposed to pet your animals in the morning, make sure they have food (hay), and then open their door so they can go outside (in a fenced in area with grass).

I know you are supposed to close the door at night, but if you don't, they get unhappy or can die overnight. What time does it need to be closed before they start losing happiness? The wiki says 6 PM, but does that mean you have to be asleep or it will decline, or does the door just have to be closed?

On top of that, if it is 6 PM, does the chance for the animals to be eaten start then, or is that only overnight with the door open?


texts: What happens if I don't "RETURN TO THE BATTLE!" in time?

texts:
When playing as Pathfinder in Apex Legends, I sometimes grapple to the top of tall terrain and suddenly see a flashing message appear in the center of my screen telling to me "RETURN TO THE BATTLE!", with a timer ominously counting down from 30 seconds.

It seems like the purpose is to keep players from camping in areas that are outside of the normal field of play and may be difficult or impossible for some legends to access. The scary message has worked on me: I've always made sure to get back in-bounds before the timer expires, so I've never seen what happens if I don't. But I'm often tempted to cut it close—these can be nice spots for sniping—and I'd like to know what risk I've been taking.

What happens if I fail to "RETURN TO THE BATTLE!" before the timer reaches zero? Am I disconnected from the server, like someone who goes AFK? Do I start taking damage as though I were in the circle? Am I teleported back to my teammates? What happens?

texts: Will I get banned if my Eggs are hatching without walking

texts:
I've noticed that the distance traveled on my eggs is constantly rising, even when my phone is sat firmly on my desk.

I've worked out that it takes roughly 6 minutes for each 0.01km, so over my average work day of 8 hours, I would be gaining around 0.8km without moving, maybe 1.0 if I pick it up a few times. (Excuse me if my calculation was off, maths isn't my strong point)

From watching my screen it looks like I am losing connection to the GPS and is thinking I am moving whilst recalculating.

My question here is if I continue to allow my game to do this, do I risk getting banned from the game, or is this normal behavior which is tolerated? (I don't want to risk an auto-ban just because I want to use the Pokestop close by where I work)

texts: What's the most effective way to steal inside one turn?

texts:
The Steal command (and mug, also known as capture, and all other attempts to steal) has a success rate determined by the following formula. Note as Kaiser points out below, you can cut your enemy's level in half with the Discord Lore (unless they're immune to instant death, like bosses)

  Success % = (Locke's Level + 50 - Target's level)/128

There's also lots of ways to steal more than one time per turn. You can have any two of the following relics:

Brigand's Glove: turns Steal into Mug
Genji Glove: allows two weapons, thus two attacks (affects Mug)
Thief's Bracer: Doubles percentage chance of stealing
Master's Scroll: 4 random attacks instead of 1, per weapon

There's also the Thief's Knife item which has a random chance of attempting to steal.
Possible combos I'm considering are:

Brigand + Genji: 2 Mug attempts per turn
Brigand + Master: 4 Mug attempts per turn (but random targets)
Master + Genji + Thief's Knife: 8 attacks per turn, possible chance of theft

So what's the most effective combo? Without (previously) knowing the % boost of the Thief's bracer or the % chance of the Thief's Knife, I've been going with Brigand's Glove and Master Scroll (Genji Glove before it) to maximize attempts per turn, but what's the most efficient way to do this?

Ideally I'd like the most chances to steal inside a single turn when using mug (or normal attack + Thief's knives, if necessary). Yes I know I can use Steal without an attack and be sure I won't kill things, I'd like to know the most effective way per turn to do this.

texts: Minecraft cursor freezes when I hover over bottom right of chest

I can't move the items in those cells either. I have also experienced the whole right hand side of my inventory being like this before. Another point to add is that when the cursor is frozen on the cells, the item name is not shown. Also, I have experienced an empty crafting table crafting book. This only happens on my friend's server. The issue seems random. My friend has tried deleting the playerdata for me from the server but that did not fix the issue.

texts: Do breeding times match hatching times for dragons?

texts:
I am trying to find some meaning to the time it takes a dragon to breed and use that information to better guess what type of dragon egg to expect so I can prepare a proper habitat for it.

I have so far bred 3 dragons: Moss, Flower and Lava. The Lava dragon is hatching now and I have a 4th dragon being bred right now. The Moss dragon took 12 hours to breed, the flower took 1 hour and the Lava took 10 hours. These times match the hatching times for the eggs as well.

Does this always stand true? Even for rare and limited dragons? The dragon I have hatching right now is taking 14 hours. This matches a Tree dragon's hatching time. Am I going to get a Tree dragon or do I have a chance of getting the Clover Dragon I want (which hatches in 7 hours).

Just now, I installed Civilization 5.  "Cool", I thought, "I don't remember buying Civ 5!  It's like getting free games!"

Then I went to the Steam homepage and learned that Civ 5 is having a free weekend.  Now I'm wondering whether I should start playing, or if I shouldn't bother because I'm going to be locked out on Sunday.

I can't remember if I bought a game on Steam.  How can I find out whether I own it or if I only have access because of a free weekend?


texts: What's the recipe for steam from boilers and heat exchangers?

texts:
Intermediate fluids like heavy oil have a recipe description in the wiki that looks like this:

but the page for steam does not.

For boilers, what is the exact quantity per unit time of coal consumed and steam generated? The boiler page says:

60 steam per second
8MJ per unit coal * 50% efficiency = 4MJ energy produced per unit coal
30kJ required to heat 1 unit water to steam
3.6MW coal consumption
1.8MW heat power output

By inference,

3.6MJ/s / 8MJ = 0.45 coal/s, i.e. 2.22 s per unit coal
60 steam/s * 2.22 s = 133 steam per output cycle

Is this right?

The page for heat exchangers claims:

10MW heat consumed
103.1 steam/s produced
96.7 kJ per unit steam at 500°C

Could either of these steam conversion rates be phrased as pictorial recipes similar to those of the petrochemical fluids?

My question is ...

Is there anything I will get to have right off (new professions/crafting/jobs/etc.) with the expansion even at a low level? Or would I be just as fine resubbing now, leveling up, completing the original game, then just buying the expansion when I'm ready for the new content?

I saw one reply to someone that you have to install it. Ok, that makes sense. But do I have to pay for a whole new version of Skyrim? Or how would I just install the one I already bought a couple years ago? I don't have it on Steam, though I'm not sure why since I thought I remembered buying it on there. A little confused about that cause I have Skyrim Script Extender on there. Is this what I'm looking for?

The desktop is running Ubuntu, I've installed WINE already, and I'm not sure if I need to get anything else. My laptop is running Windows 10 and it's messed up so I can't use it, but I refuse to lose my Skyrim saves!

Not moving it to a different folder within the computer, but moving it from an entirely different computer using an entirely different OS.

The wiki is quite unclear on the Champion. From what I gather he might "boost the morale". Is there a point to appointing one?

  The champion is a noble position appointed by the Baron (that is, you can appoint it, but you can't do so without a baron or greater noble being present). A champion has no special room requirements, but may make a single demand eventually. As the title of champion is bestowed by appointment rather than merit, you may want to have your best teacher be the champion and conduct weapon demonstrations to boost the morale of training soldiers while your toughest killers go out and fight goblins.

I'm just not sure if somehow it will still recognize that I went to normal, and I would rather not play through on Dark mode and not get the achievement. Thanks.


texts: Can I choose another fatality to perform in fatality tutorial mode?

texts:
I'm playing Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition for PC.

Whenever I do the fatality the tutorial asks, I always do it right, but I can't see any specific option to change the fatality I want to perform. The game forces me to do the same fatality over and over again without opportinity to perform any other.


texts: When you exhaust someone who is already exhausted, it refreshes the timer.  You can think of it as the first is overridden I suppose.

texts:
I usually play mag sorc in vet trials but I got bored and want to switch to stam nb. Before going "whaaat???" yes I do know is easier to sustain as mag, you have better aoe etc. But I like my nb more, have better single target dps than most mags I played with (I hit about 40k single target fully buffed with horn rotation) so I am better at bosses.

Now the issue... most things are manageable after you get used to them (in AA after you learned the right positioning you have little to no trouble, in SO the same, MOL is MOL you die whatever you do :)) ). The thing I wanna get my head around before trying it is how to survive warrior starfall in vHRC. As a mag is simple you just spam shield. As a stam you should theoretically be able to block but since that thing hits for like 15-17k after you block 3-4 waves you get out of stamina and... die.

I'm thinking to use bone shield (since is cheap) + block until I go to like 1/3 of total stam but don't know if that would keep me alive (bone shield give me 30% hp and from my 17k I get about 5k... not really that much - especially if you compare to a sorc shield that goes around 30k). I could also throw a mirage on bar, and combined with bone shield and block should keep me alive but wasting to skill slots for this will loose me a decent amount of dps (I normally have 1 flex spot on my bar). Since is not exactly easy to test (is last boss and having 11 ppl wait me to test the best way to survive is not exactly polite)... any1 found a decent way to survive that?

Same could apply for AA second boss and MOL first boss but those can actually be outhealed. Warrior hits like a truck, outhealing that would drain healers of resources pretty quick.

texts: Downloading World of Warcraft for multiple computers

texts:
I want to install World of Warcraft on three different computers.

Is it possible to download the complete game on one machine then copy to the other PC's?

I searched the Battle Net Technical support Installations and Patches area but didn't see anything.

I also notice that they have this "Streaming Launcher" which I don't really want to have to use on all three machines. I'm limited for bandwidth and would like to download the complete game overnight then copy and install.

For example with Eve Online you can download the installer stub and the install payloads (e.g. community.eveonline.com/download/?fallback=1) directly. Is there something similar for WoW?

texts: I have two dwellers, both level 50s, they have the same total SPECIAL stats: 9, 9, 9, 4, 4, 9, 10 respectively but are achieved differently. One wears a rare combat armor (S+3, A+2), and the other one with horror fan outfit (E+4, L+1). This makes the other dweller's 'E' stat a 5+4. All other stats are trained. I have noticed that after sending them both with a 25:20 stim and rad ratio, the one with the horror fan seems to die quickly. Only being able to last a day out in the waste while the other for about a day and a half to 2 days. I'd like to know if stats generated by outfits are in some way different to stats generated in the training room.

Besides not being able to take further action when I reach my destination, are there other drawbacks?

I'm playing xbox.

I'm a Stormcloak and just completed the quest to take Solitude:

   I killed General Tullius, went outside, listened to Ulfric's speech, watched him walk away with the other guy saying "we have a lot to do"

However. Solitude still has the combat music playing whenever I'm there, the icon for Solitude doesn't show up on my map for fast travel, and when I run up there I get a message when I go in the gate that I have to "complete defence of the city". The Blue Palace is locked (though I can break in). The rest of the town is back to normal - no fires, people walking around, etc. How can I get the war situation to end? Should I have talked to Ulfric again after his speech?

texts:
Steam now has trading-cards which can be crafted into badges and other marketable items.  That link states that trading-cards can be crafted into badges, and that

  If you gather another complete set of trading cards you can upgrade that game badge.

However, it also says

  Most games will drop a number of cards equal to about half of the number of cards in that game's set of cards.

Does this mean the only way to get the second+ level of a badge is through trading?  Or does my "drop counter" reset once I've crafted the badge for that game?

texts: How can I play Virtua Cop (Sega Saturn/MAME) with light guns on a modern display?

texts:
I want to play Virtua Cop, with a light gun or "equivalent" (Wiimote would suffice). But using my old Sega Saturn is too difficult (old CD laser, no HDMI, etc). An emulator for the PC is preferable.

(Image from abandonwaredos.com)

As many probably know, light guns don't work too well with newer TV and computer monitors...if you can even connect the video of old system to the display in the first place.

(Image from picclick.com)

I have a light gun with both Sega Saturn and PSX connections. I also have a PSX to USB adapter, though I'm not sure if that will work with a PC emulator anyway because it needs a composite video connection. Thus I would settle for something similar, perhaps using one of my Wiimotes for aiming.

What are my options? Does any one know of a way to play a Sega Saturn or MAME game and configure a light gun for the PC? I'm sure it can be done, I just don't know how. Even if it's technical, it might be worth trying.


texts: What is the M320/GP30 LVG's use or purpose?

texts:
This secondary/attachment was included with the CQ DLC.

From battlefield.wikia.com:

  Battlefield 3: Close Quarters Players who have access to the Close Quarters expansion pack can use this ammunition with their M320/GP30 launchers. Instead of detonating on impact (40mm Frag), the projectile uses a 3-second timed fuse. The blast and damage are comparable to a hand grenade, and kills are awarded as grenade launcher kills despite firing a grenade. The LVG inflicts little or no striking damage.

My question is:

What is the difference between this projectile and a standard, thrown grenade and the standard HE?

More specifically, does it:

Have greater range?
Have greater damage?

(I.e: What is the point, beyond 'more grenades'!)

My old XBox RRoD'd for the 2nd time. No more repairing it, instead I got a new XBox 360 4GB.  I ordered a drive enclosure for my old XBox's 120GB hard drive to fit the form-factor of the new XBox however it hasn't arrived yet.

My question: I want to start playing the new XBox, I realize I won't have my profile, namely saved games (when is all that stuff gonna move to this cloud I've been hearing so much about?).  I just want to make sure before I go through the setup process that once I've setup my new XBox, I'll have the chance to import my profile from the old HDD once it's installed?

Secondary question: do I have the choice to move the profile info (saved games, etc...) to the 4GB inside the new XBox (which I'm presuming is SSD) or should I leave it on the HDD?

Pretty clear wording.

The Great Wall, however, is a little more ambiguous:

  Upon discovering Dynamite, The Great Wall becomes obsolete.

The question is, whose discovery of Dynamite? The owner of the wall? The enemy trying to walk inside the wall's owner's territory? Any player, like the Colossus?

Has there been any word from Niantic / any external confirmation that this mechanic has been changed, and that now beaten Pokémon always come back to you with 0 hp?


texts: How To Set The Language of The Subtitles in Tales from the Borderlands

texts:
I bought "Tales from the Borderlands" just yesterday. There was an update today and now suddenly the subtitles are German with no visible option to change them to any other language.

I checked the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Telltale Games\Borderlands.exe" path in the system registry, but the field with the key "language" has the value "english". I was even frustrated enough to delete all files with German in the name from the archives folder, but the menu and the subtitles stayed German.

Does anyone know how to set the language of the subtitles?


texts: How can I hire a bunch of aliens quickly?

texts:
When I've just created a new building, I usually want to hire a half-dozen aliens at a time. Unfortunately, the only way I've found to hire aliens is to go to the management screen, find the visitors, and select one. This closes the management screen and highlights the single alien, who has a button I can click to hire them. Repeating this sequence (management->zoom to alien->hire) is vexing when I want to do it a half-dozen times in a row.

Is there a faster way to hire alien visitors?

texts: Does it matter how much excess energy per turn you have when activating the Beacon?

texts: In Civilization: Beyond Earth when doing the Contact victory the Civilopedia says that after spending the 1000 energy to activate the Beacon, all excess energy income is transferred to the Beacon, and then when a "set amount" is transferred you win the game. How much is this "set amount"? When I activated the Beacon I had about 150/turn excess energy, and the victory screen said 30 turns remaining. Then I changed all my worker and production allocations to maximize energy, bringing me up to about 230/turn excess energy (now consumed by the Beacon), and it still said 30 turns remaining (and after moving on to the next turn, 29 turns remaining, just in case it recalculates at the end of the turn.) What is going on here?

texts: Maps used online VS places in campaign mode

texts:
One big thing to do first in online mode is to well know the maps .

I know that I could walk and explore  in them alone in a private match. But it's boring...

I began to play the campaign mode to learn the places where the game is.

I only played about the half of the first mission and I didn't recognize a map that I've play on-line.

Does the on-line and campaign mode places are related  ?

If I continue to play in campaign  mode, will it help me to know maps used on-line ?

Will I be able to recognize some spots that I have to be aware like windows of building ?

When I tried connecting it to the ps4 again, it wouldn't work, I have tried the following:

Sticking a pin in the little hole
Unplugging the wires
Putting it on safe mode
Connecting it to the ps with the charging cable

None of these worked. How do I fix the controller- I'd rather not have to buy another.

I've been building the ultimate retro gaming PC and storage cabinet that emulates all popular vintage consoles, and their controllers to match.  Emulating Atari 2600 through Dreamcast - half of the nostalgia-party experience is holding the authentic controller, converted to USB through the PC.
I have a Windows 10 PC and it appears I can only get 16 USB controllers to show up simultaneously in the "Set Up USB Game Controllers" window where you can calibrate USB gamepads.
I'm aware of the 4 controller limit for XInput but is there a 16 USB controller limit for gamepads?  I was under the impression Windows could handle up to 128 USB devices.  Windows detects these USBs as being connected, even has the alert sounds when each of them are successively turned on in order.  However, they stop showing up in the calibrate window after 16.  Various emulators are able to detect that "48 devices are connected" but none of them will map buttons past the 16th registered controller.
I'm looking to have all 48 controllers plugged in simultaneously so you can move from one emulator to the other without switching on the individual USB ports on the hubs.  Thanks in advance for any insight, google and the like have failed me on this one.  I've got 3 of these 3.0 powered hubs hooked up and they all work separately in iterations of 16 but not all together.

texts:
Mei is a character who freezes things. It's what she does. Freezing enemy players is an effective way to immobilize them and land a perfect headshot (killing many of the lower health characters). Typically, the way an encounter works is that you'll spray them with your primary fire, and then headshot them with your alternate fire once they're frozen.

This doesn't leave you with a lot of time, though. Once a character his the freezing point, there's an animation of their body being covered in ice. When exactly are they considered frozen (i.e. I don't need to keep spraying them), so I know to begin headshot protocol?


texts: Why is my army weaker than computer's army?

texts:
I (Castille) have 31000 men in my army (20 regiments of infantry and 11 of cavalry). Computer (Aragon) has 21000. During the battle I can see how much damage each one is producing. Every attack from them damages me 300 to 500. I only damage them 7 to 15.

Why is this happening? My men have high morale. I'm in my own territory. By the end of many battles I went from 31000 to 15000 and they only lost 3000 men and even regained their forces faster than me.

So pretty much I want to understand what I'm doing wrong and what exactly do I need to do to have a successful army. Also if someone can give me some pointers on the game overall.

texts: What is the effect "Blood oozes from you" on a Blood-Magic Blade?

texts:
The Blood-Magic Blade is a craftable level 60 legendary dagger.  After the revamp of 1.0.4 legendaries, a new effect, described as "blood oozes from you" was added to the item description.

Given that the dagger looks like it still has incredibly low damage for a level 60 legendary, the only possible saving grace I could think of for this item is the effect.  However, I can't find any details of what it actually does.

What does "blood ooz[ing] from you" actually do?

texts:
I have a new Xbox One, and I'm very worried about the temperature it's reaching.

After only 30 minutes of playing Forza 5 or Titanfall, the top ventilation grid is at 50ºC (122ºF). I'm measuring it by placing a tiny thermometer on the top grid, which means that the actual temperature may be a little higher. It even smells a bit like burnt plastic. Well, not exactly burnt, but... it reminds me of a hair drier, when the plastic gets hot.

The console is placed horizontally in a well ventilated spot: nothing on the top, nothing on the sides; there is a wall on the rear side, but it has a 6 cm (2.4 inches) margin.

Also, I've read that if the Xbox One overheats, it will automatically shutdown itself to prevent damage to the system. That has not happened to me. So, my guess is that the temperature, despite being high, is not too high. In fact, the only part of the console getting hot is the top ventilation grid, the rest of it is warm, even cold... which seems to be normal, too.

Anyway, I'm very worried. Is it normal? Is it too hot? Should I return it to the store?

PS: funny side note - I've contacted with the always wonderful Xbox online support team. They have told me to try plugging the console in a different wall socket. You know... in case the electric current in this one is too hot? :)

I am playing against Elizabeth, where she had adopted a social policy that makes every other AI players and me lose the infl uence on the city states at a faster rate. I'm struggling with the budget, and also being hugely dependent on,the maritime CS allies for the extra food, Lizzy's social policy is really giving me a hard time.

Fortunately enough, however, I have a significant advantage in military tech over her and I managed to crush almost entirety of England with three more cities to go, which includes London.

If I conquer the English civ, will the previous social policy of Elizabeth be canceled out? If it is so, I am willing to conquer England at all costs. If it doesn't, then I most likely won't demolish the civ, for I am afraid to be denounced a warmonger.


texts: How to create a custom Mii fighter character for Smash Bros Ultimate?

texts:
I want to create a custom Mii fighter character for my boyfriends birthday coming up. I've done some research and it seems there are a couple ways to do this - however I am looking to get advice because ideally I would like this to be a surprise, but most articles seem to indicate that I need to build this using his Nintendo Switch console, or in his account. I have a few questions about this actually, and I know most of these groups like each question to be posted in its own thread, so I apologize, and will try to group them by specific topic.

I heard that in order to even use the Mii fighter characters, you need to unlock them through something called "story-mode"? I know that he only plays against other people, either online match-ups or with his roommate in person. Would this prevent me from being able to create a character for him to use and access?

I want to create a Mii character that looks like him, and heard that you can create one from a photo? I found something called "Mii Maker" that says you can do this by taking a picture with the Wii U GamePad camera - however no one I know owns a Wii..... is there another way to make a Mii fighter character from a photo without using the Wii console?

I would like this to be a surprise - so if I am able to create a character - is it possible to create it in another console, or in another account, and then transfer it to him somehow, on his birthday? QR code? Send as a gift?

and FINALLY

There seem to be numerous varying opinions on which Mii fighter is best: Gunner, Swordfighter, or Brawler. My bf mains Bayonetta, and will sometimes use Dark Pit or Dr. Mario as alternatives - so which do you think would be the best choice for someone who uses these characters?


texts: Is there a way to survive outside the town walls overnight in Die2Nite?

texts:
I ask because in the Help for the "Last Man Standing" section, it says:

  The town can not have been devastated
  on a previous attack (a town is
  devastated if a night passes and there
  are no citizens within the town
  walls.).

That makes it sound like it's possible for people to survive outside, but I've never seen it happen or read anything about someone surviving out there. Anyone know if it's possible?

Update: The answer was "no" when this question was asked during Season 1. For Season 2 and beyond, the answer is "Yes".

texts: What is kept and what is reset for New Game+?

texts:
I've reached the point of no return in Bastion's story. I know that there is a New Game+ option, however, my decision on whether or not to go forward with the story at this point hinges on what is kept and what is reset. For example, I don't want to drive myself crazy trying to finish all the Proving Grounds if they're just going to be reset in New Game+.

I'm currently running on the assumption that your level is kept, but otherwise, I'm unsure as to what all resets. I'm wondering about:

Vigils?
Proving Grounds?
Weapons and their upgrades?
Buildings and their upgrades?
Accessibility of Secret and Weapon Skills?
Who Knows Where progress?
Items in my Pack?
Number of Fragments?

Please feel free to mention anything I may have forgotten that is not included in this list.

texts: What's the use of the 'parent: item/generated' in making texture packs?

texts:
I've been making a texture pack for a datapack in Minecraft 1.14.
In the .json file for the items (where I allocate the path for the textures I think), I've been using:

"parent": "item/template_spawn_egg",

but when I came to search for an issue with the spots, I found that they used a different parent:

"parent"   : "item/generated",

I saw this being used in various places online and I assumed they're for a specific type of item or something. But seeing it being substituted like this got me curious: is the parent 'generated' a handy catch-it-all term which I can use in place of a regular parent, or is it something else more complicated?

texts: Why did Twin Saga appear slightly off screen?

texts:
I installed Twin Saga from their website yesterday. It downloaded and installed fine. I ran it and changed the graphics settings to windowed mode. this makes the game appear in a borderless window, which is great.

The game loaded in the top left of my screen, leaving a gap. I noticed that the top and left of the game window were somehow rendering outside of my monitor, so to speak. While trying to create a character, I noticed that the game was registering the mouse above and to the right of my true mouse position. This lead me to beleive that the entire game was rendering in the wrong place, but everything else was fine.

This meant that I couldn't click buttons in the bottom right of the window, because my mouse would be outside the window and would change focus to my desktop.

I started up the game in fullscreen mode and had the same issue.

Is there a way to prevent this? I may resort to installing steam on my new laptop and re-downloading the game through steam.

I've always thought that Starcraft 2 was Always Online, but I was talking to a college today and I found out there was an offline mode which just lacks access to achievements or custom maps (like I care for either).

I've boycotted StarCraft 2 when I read that it was Always Online play because I don't want my main gaming powerhouse connected to the internet.

So does StarCraft 2 require any net connection to start a single player game? I'm not going to waste money to buy it only to learn I can't play it.


texts: Vertically stacked armor stands should have increasing scores, but don't

texts:
I'm trying to make a goalpost system for a custom map I'm designing. The idea is that a goalpost--consisting of a tall stack of iron bars--would have variable height, and at each block up and down the post there would be an armor stand. These armor stands would have a GoalScore score value which increases from bottom to top, so that when the player comes into contact with one of them, they can have their score increased more the higher they hit it (Mario style). Since this requires a lot of armor stands, and there will be multiple goalposts in the map of varying height, I'm trying to make their generation easy on myself by having any Goal armor stand with air under it automatically generate a goalpost.

Here's the commands I'm using, each in a chain block (except the first, which is in a repeat block so the whole thing runs 20 times per second):

/scoreboard players add @e[type=ArmorStand,name=Goal] GoalScore 0
/scoreboard players set @e[type=ArmorStand,name=Goal] hasAirUnder 0
/execute @e[type=ArmorStand,name=Goal] ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~-1 ~ minecraft:air -1 /scoreboard players set @e[type=ArmorStand,name=Goal,c=1] hasAirUnder 1
/execute @e[type=ArmorStand,name=Goal,score_hasAirUnder_min=1] ~ ~ ~ /summon ArmorStand ~ ~-1 ~ {CustomName:"Goal", NoGravity:1b}
/execute @e[type=ArmorStand,name=Goal,score_hasAirUnder_min=1] ~ ~ ~ /scoreboard players operation @e[type=ArmorStand,name=Goal,dy=-1,dx=0,dz=0] GoalScore = @e[type=ArmorStand,name=Goal,c=1] GoalScore
/execute @e[type=ArmorStand,name=Goal,score_hasAirUnder_min=1] ~ ~2 ~ /scoreboard players add @e[type=ArmorStand,name=Goal,dy=255,dx=0,dz=0] GoalScore 1
/execute @e[type=ArmorStand,name=Goal,score_hasAirUnder_min=1] ~ ~ ~ /setblock ~ ~-1 ~ minecraft:iron_bars 0

The idea is that any goal armor stands with air under them will summon a new goal armor stand below them, copy their current GoalScore to the new stand, then add 1 to every GoalScore for armor stands above them. Then it sets the block below to iron bars to stop it from triggering again the next tick.

While the idea seems sound, the execution isn't quite working. Depending on the height of the initial armor stand, either a few of the bottom ones have their scores set to 0 and it doesn't start counting up until a few blocks above (only the bottom one should have a score of 0); or, sometimes, it doesn't count all the way to 0 and somehow stops at 2 or 3 or something. It's as though the dy=255 I'm using in the GoalScore-increasing command isn't working properly; rather than selecting all armor stands above (and including) the current one for incrementing, it seems sometimes it selects none, or selects armor stands below it as well.

(If I change the execution coordinates of that to ~ ~ ~, every goal armor stand gets the same final, maximum value; if I change it to ~ ~1 ~, the top value is correct, while every other value is duplicated as top_value - 1. Using ~ ~2 ~ is the only way I get it to count down without skipping or duplicates, but then it has the problems I mentioned above.)

Am I doing something wrong? How can I make this work as expected?

texts: How quickly does the Ultimate Meter fill up?

texts:
The information on the Gamepedia is very lacking regarding the Ultimate Meter:

  Ultimate abilities are powerful abilities only available to a hero
  once their Ultimate Meter has filled. Progress towards an Ultimate
  persists through death. The Ultimate Meter fills by killing/dealing
  damage to enemy heroes, though Mercy gradually fills hers through
  healing with her Caduceus Staff, and Torbjörn's turret generates
  Ultimate progress for him. The amount of Ultimate gained appears to
  vary between heroes, and kills seem to grant less Ultimate than
  dealing damage.

Nowhere does it explain how quickly the meter is gained, and what % of meter corresponds to damage.  I know that in addition to that, meter is also passively gained for all heroes, albeit very slowly. What is the rate of that passive Ultimate meter? How does damage correspond to ultimate meter %?

EPM and APM combined of some professional players. This would allow a more objective comparison between two professional players, as well as between professional players and non-professional players.
EPM and APM combined, across a wide APM band. This would potentially answer such questions as: "How does EPM as a percentage of APM vary as APM increases?"

I am NOT looking for:

What is the difference between EPM and APM?
The value or usefulness of EPM or APM as a measurement.

texts:
So I am currently around level 45 with my main character and I am working through the West Midlands Underground.

At the moment there is a PvP event going on which I am actively taking part in. However, sometimes when I select my opponent I notice that they have a set of 4 familiars to battle against. How can I get this too?

I have already unlocked a couple of additional formations, so my best guess is that at some point I will get a 4-man formation. If this is the case, when will I get my first 4-main formation, and what other formations are available? (Note: I think my latest formation I got was "Wave")

Also, can you get more than a 4-man formation? I remember last week there was a different kind of event which had some sort of boss battles (large enemies) that allowed me to field 6 of my familiars at once. Is this just an event specific formation perhaps?

Perhaps another interesting question: once I have access to a 4-man formation, are there any motivations for me to ever go back to a 3-man?

I was wondering how much damage it does and if it differs by class, for instance it would make sense if assault and heavy do more damage than officer and specialist.


texts: Allocate more RAM to Minecraft with Forge

texts:
I recently upgraded the ammount of RAM in my computer, and I'd like to utilize it with Minecraft as I play frequently, with system intensive mods, such as shader mods. I've noticed from experience that Minecraft by default allocates, or will allow allocation of up to 1 GB, without modification. I know how to modify these amounts on vanilla Minecraft, by editing a game profile's JVM arguments, but if I try to do this with more than the default 1GB allocation on my Forge profile, the game doesn't start. I'll press play in the launcher, and nothing will happen, but If I change it back to 1GB then it starts as normal.

I've tried everything within my knowledge to fix this and now I'm out of ideas. I have more than enough RAM to safely allocate 4 GB at minimum, even with lots of other applications running, so i'd very much doubt that the problem is that I simply don't have enough availible RAM to launch with my ideal allocated amount.

I should probably note that because I run my own bukkit server and play on that so I can use Worldedit, My Minecraft Forge profile is running a 1.7.10 version of minecraft. The fact that I run the client application along with a server is not a problem, as I have a more than powerful enough computer to handle this, and have done so without problems many times in the past. Because I know it's likely to be asked, My reasoning for running a 1.7.10 server instead of one running 1.8.1 is that I have used bukkit for almost as long as I've been playing minecraft and do not want to switch to an official minecraft server, and bukkit hasn't been updated to 1.8.

Anyone have any hints to point me in the direction of utilizing my massive amount of RAM for Minecraft, or know how to make this work with forge just as it does with vanilla? Thanks!

EDIT: I should probably mention that, because I know people are going to ask, I am running a 64-bit version of the Java SE Development kit, alongside a 64-bit copy of Java 8 Update 25. I installed these yesterday, before I asked this question, afer reading many a tutorial suggesting that i'd need the development kit to alocate more RAM, but even after installing it, I still could not allocate more RAM. I got the same results with Forge, in fact, regardless of the version of java I had. Just to clarify again, My processors are both 64-bit, My windows 7 install is 64-bit, and my Java installs are 64-bit.

texts: What is that square bomb you plant on doors before breaching into a room and going into bullet time?

texts:
Before you and your comrades breach into a room to save a prisoner and enter bullet time to kill off some guards, you will almost-always place a large, flat, square bomb on the door.

Q1: What is that large, flat, square bomb called?

Q2: Unlike C4, why can you stand right in front of & beside the square bomb without taking any damage? The people on the other side (which is blocked by a door) seems to be in great shock, but not you...


texts: Diablo III - Imperial gem drops at level ~13?

texts:
So I played D3 when it came out for a couple of months and haven't touched it since. I have picked it back up again and started a new character with a friend. I looked up how to get to Whimsyshire since I had a wand of herding in my inventory.

We were about level 13 and ran through whimsyshire. We opened up either some presents or a happy cloud, and out dropped a load of Imperial gems. I thought "OK, I remember gems, you socket them in stuff and you can combine them". It's only after getting back to town I realised that in all the hours I played before, I got to some Perfect Square gems as the highest level, and these Imperial gems are significantly higher level than those, dropping at player level 13 on Normal difficulty.

So my question is... what the hell just happened? Was it supposed to happen? Did they change things that much in the last few years that these things just drop for free? Is there a way I can get more?


texts: Better DPS: Ultra Great Sword or Twinblades?

texts:
Ultra Great Sword require a lot of STR, Twinblades requires a lot of DEX.

I've heard that DEX scaling is not as good as STR scaling, and am hesitating between leveling up to equip one or the other first.

My play style is to keep myself out of reach with a long reach weapon (currently a spear), wait for the enemy to attack, dodge, get one or two hits depending on the monster recovery time, and get out of reach again.

While trying (without required stats) the different weapon types, it feels like both the Ultra Great Sword (tested with Pursuer GreatSword) and Twinblades (tested with twinblades) have a long enought reach for me, and the attack time doesn't feel that different.

I have trouble finding out what to keep, since I want to do the most damage in my hit. UGS have a longer reach and raw damage, but on the other hands, the twinblades does multiples hits in one attack, and weigh much less, allowing for a faster recovery.

What would help me is a damage comparison between UGS and twinblades in the context of wait-dodge-hit tactics.


texts: Does choosing "suicide" from the pause menu make your team lose a ticket?

texts:
I've been wondering if I can choose to suicide from the game menu without hurting my team, but too nervous to try it.

Occasionally I'll find myself super far from the action, or regret that I picked the wrong class, and I want to suicide to fix the issue quickly. Am I right to avoid that and play out the life?


texts: When I dismiss Dogmeat in Fallout 4 I have to search for him if I send him to a settlement. I would love to give him a place to chill and wondered if a constructed dog house would enable me to find him quickly? However I do not see the ability to do that in the workshop, so is this possible and if so how?  Thanks so much & sorry if this has been addressed before but I cannot find any info.


texts: Is there any use for collecting extra BluGlo during a mission?

texts:
While some quests (Ride the Lightning, Defend the Atlas, etc) require BluGlo to complete, others don't require any at all. Also, random objects on the map sometimes require BluGlo, like team buffs and radio towers. However, in one game, after encountering multiple trolls, I ended up with well over 20 BluGlo, which begged the question: is there any purpose for collecting this much BluGlo? There weren't enough team buffs or radio towers to use up all this BluGlo, but I'd certainly hate to collect all this BluGlo every mission for no reason.

Is there any benefit to stocking up BluGlo during a mission?


texts:
I was reading about Lulu (new champion) and saw this:

  Wild Growth (Ultimate) - Lulu enlarges an ally, knocking enemies away
  from them and granting them a large amount of bonus health. For the
  next few seconds, that ally gains an aura that slows nearby enemies.

Then I start wondering: what is the max size that a champion reach ? Is there a Maximum size ?

Example: Cho'Gath's Feast + Greater Relic + Surge + Wild Growth + Something that make champions grow in size. Cho'Gath will grow every time ? or it will stop at some point ?

texts: In my time of playing the multiplayer, I've noticed the Juggernaut kill streak makes someone nearly invincible, especially if two people do it at the same time. Now my question is what is the best way to take these people down? Just keep shooting? Are there any particularly good techniques to kill them quickly? (or at least keep them from killing your entire team twice)

texts: How do you play Civilization 4 by E-Mail?

texts:
Does anyone know if there is a mod or anything to play Civilization 4 over email?  Like if my friend makes a turn, I get sent an email that its my turn and I can log on make my turn or couple of turns and then next player goes.

I know there is a hot seat option which is very useful, but my friends and I want to play games but its hard for us to meet at the same time online.


texts: What are the differences between Ghost and Niobe?

texts:
Shortly after starting a new save file in Enter the Matrix, you are given the choice to play as either Ghost or Niobe.

Are there any gameplay or story differences between Ghost and Niobe? Or do they both play identically?
