texts: Do time-stopping items stop the difficulty from rising while active?

texts:
Do items in the game that stop time (Time Keeper's Secret, Unstable Watch, maybe more) actually stop "time"?

Meaning do they prevent the difficulty from rising while time is stopped? Or do they really just freeze all enemies/projectiles and call it "stopping time"?

It probably doesn't affect the game too much either way, since these items don't last more than a few seconds, but I was curious about it and couldn't find any information to confirm or deny it either way.


texts: What does the Modern Warfare PS4 digital copy contain?

texts: Before buying the digital copy of Modern Warfare, despite checking their website, I'm still anxious if the campaign and the online game modes like ground war etc. will be included in the digital copy. Can anyone share their feedback for those who had bought the digital copy?

texts: Hearthstone: Destroy and Deathrattle effect

texts:
There are some cards that has the word "destroy a friendly minion".

I was wondering does that stop deathrattle effects from firing off?

IE for example if I have a ravenous pterrordax (destroy minion to adapt twice) in my hand and I cast it on a dreadsteed (at turn end will summon another dreadsteed deathrattle). Will it prevent that deathrattle from firing off?

I am thinking of maybe trying to put dreadsteed's deathrattle to use in the new knight of the frozen throne expansion wild deck.


texts: What can cause an explosion in peaceful mode?

texts:
I was recently relayed an odd episode. My friend was playing Feed the Beast's Monster pack (single player), mining away in the Nether, on peaceful mode, nothing unusual in sight, and suddenly there's an explosion.

Obvious culprits are TNT, exploding machines, and creepers.  After verifying there was nothing like that around ("Are you sure you were on peaceful?"), I'm left stumped.  I don't know every aspect of every mod in the pack, by far, but this seems odd to me.

What can cause spontaneous explosions in peaceful mode with no player setup?

texts:
I'm currently playing as the king of Eire in Charlemagne and I am around 150 years in. I've started to expand into England and will soon hold all the southern counties. With the bonus of the additional holdings I was considering changing my capital from Dublin to Middlesex and my duchies to Essex and Kent.

The only downside I can see is my technology in Dublin (e.g., legalism etc.) is currently higher than in Middlesex. Will the technology transfer or will I lose it and adopt the technology levels that Middlesex currently has?

Are there any other disadvantages to moving my capital that I've not considered?


texts: Were the Switch's left Joy-Con connection issues ever fixed?

texts:
When the Nintendo Switch launched in February, there were multiple articles and reviews claiming that the Switch's left Joy-Con was prone to frequent connection issues during normal use. (See Nintendo Switch left Joy-Con disconnects frequently. Fix?)

I've seen some claim the disconnect issue was fixed by a day-one patch, while others claim it was a hardware issue only present in early Switch models.

Were the connection issues for the Switch's left Joy-Con ever fixed? If they were, how can I tell if my Joy-Con could be affected?

texts: In Super Metroid, is jumping after running not just as fast as running on the ground?

texts:
I see some of the top speedrunners trying to minimize time in the air. For example, in the second room of Ceres station, and in the beginning of Parlor. Why do they do this?

I would assume that as long as you hold the direction after a running jump, the speed you were running at would be preserved, only you're now in the air. Is that not the case?

You might say, "Well, if the top runners do it, then of course," but another reason a speedrunner might minimize airtime is simply due to habit, especially after hundreds or thousands of ledgegrabs and downgrabs.

I'm looking for an exact answer supported by some well-known Super Metroid resource / speedrunner, or actual proof (e.g. via Ram Watch).

texts: What flasks are useful for Labyrinth runs?

texts:
As a life-based build, and bad with trap mechanics, I constantly find myself dying in the Trials and in the Labyrinth. I realized the utility flasks I'm using for the rest of the game aren't helping me at all. What could be the best flask setup for a life-based build to run the Labyrinth, provided that I don't have troubles with mobs, but the traps freak me out?

I now have around 2500 life at level 80, but the exact numbers aren't really relevant.

I'm inclined to equip 5 Chemist's Divine Life flasks of Adrenaline, but maybe I'm missing some useful flask mods.

Being a horse, one would expect they could "sprint", ie. gallop, for a decent period of time. Mine (the first one I bought, at Whiterun stables), can only sprint for about as long as I can. That is, just several seconds. Then he goes back to cantering.

texts: How does combat function in Guild Wars 2

Does combat function the same for ranged and melee combat?

I'm new to The Witcher. I have gone to every ? on the first world map, took all contracts from the board and reached level 3.9. (I'm playing on highest difficulty level)

Then, when I finally progressed in the main story, I got a shave and went to pick the next world map to explore. However, it suggests recommended level be 5. But I don't know where else to go to get more XP. There are no quests left to do and farming is barely giving any XP.

Am I doing something wrong?


texts: Does time travel affect Perfect Town rating on Animal Crossing New Leaf?

texts:
As far as I'm concerned, my town is pretty perfect. I have everything needed but whenever I talk to Isabelle, she tells me that the citizens say that it's "riding the so-so rails" and it's so annoying because I see no faults and the only flaw she points out is "all the weeds and garbage".

I have scoped my town a hundred times for weeds and garbage and there is definitely none, but it never changes.

However, the other day it changed to something like "goodness gracious if it goes on like this, this town'll be great" or whatever. I was like "wow!" finally some recognition for all my hard work. Then, I time-traveled a little bit, (only a couple hours), then the next day it went back to "riding the so-so rails". There are no weeds or garbage!

texts:
I saw a youtube video some time ago of a guy throwing a throwing knife straight up, getting 5 hit markers and then a kill. In his video he watched the throwing knife and it apparently bounced on the helicopter 5 times then went down a killed a guy.

I know it's possible now to kill someone by throwing a throwing knife straight up(though very improbable) but is it possible to destroy a helicopter with a throwing knife?

How much damage does a throwing knife do to a helicopter in comparison to say a locked on SMAW missle?

(note, I've been able to hit a helicopter with a throwing knife before and got 3 hit markers, so I know it's possible to hit them and not faked)

texts:
When repeatedly save-scumming in Mega-Brutal worlds against my Fungus, I know that some news have good and some have bad consequences, but some aren't as obvious as government breakdowns, which I only get a big notification about the first time.
I like to know when there's no chance that anything good for me will happen, so I can relax a bit and maybe focus on save-scumming for DNA points, instead of a government collapse.
I'm not sure what the requirements for a government to break down are. I assume I need a certain percentage of deaths and such in the country, with country summary is likely the biggest hint. I've never caught a before-and-after, but I assume "Close to Anarchy" means that it's likelier or possible to happen.
I encounter complicated situations like a country approving human experimentation. It's coloured orange, which I think means it's good for me, but some sources say that it's very bad for me, since it speeds up cure research.
Among other vague-ish coloured news, is Apple$oft's iCure device having a TBD release date. It's coloured orange but is it good? Apparently not.
Then there's colourless news that still appears for countries, such as "drug development safeguards removed".
I don't know whether there are any set indicators that I can use to determine whether an outcome will be good or bad for my playthrough. Is there any list that I can use or a set way to determine the consequences of news - in short:
How do I determine whether the outcome of news is a hindrance or a benefit?


texts:
The Wizard's Cold Blooded passive says "Cold damage dealt to chilled and frozen targets is increased by 20%".  While 'frozen' is pretty obvious (although there aren't many ways to freeze targets) 'chilled' is a bit less obvious.  What specifically qualifies as a debuff to allow for this bonus damage?

For example, the reduced movement speed from the Ice Armor Chilling Armor rune specifically says the targets become chilled, but Ray of Frost's effect seems to do the same thing but doesn't say that...are they treated the same?  How can I tell what qualifies?

I can't find a question that fits this description, so I assume this hasn't been asked before.

If you have a look at this ME Wikia page for the Shuriken, it displays the same gun model for both ME2 and ME3. In the ME2 infobox, it shows the bonus damage it does to various types of defence, but in the ME3 infobox, it doesn't and neither does the description.

Does ME3 implement this sort of bonus damage or has it been removed? If it does, then how can I see them?

My sons are into playing Minecraft Pocket Edition.  I have it installed on a Samsung smartphone, and our Nvidia Shield TV.  They would like to play together in the same game, but I haven't been successful getting it to work.  When I create a new game with Multiplayer enabled, the other player doesn't see the new game in the list of choices.  They are not logged in via Xbox Live (no accounts) but I don't think that is required for local games.  No server either; just trying for a simple hosted game that the second player can join.

The NVidia Shield is connected via Ethernet cable, and the smartphone is on the Wifi network of course.  Will that work, or do they both need to be on Wifi?  Can the Nvidia Shield be connected to Ethernet and Wifi simultaneously, or do I need to pull the cable and default to Wifi when they want to play together?

However, there is a GitHub pull request for adding support for Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, which at first glance it looks feasible for a game that simple. And PC Gamer on March 24th confirmed the existence of a PC version. But I don't have a copy of the game to try it out.

texts: How difficult are the quests from the terminal in the Orochi Group van in Blue Mountain?

texts:
I finally polished off all of the 'Major' missions in Blue Mountain last night. Or at least, I thought I had, as I had done all the quests from every NPC marked on my map. Until, as I finished my last quest in the zone, I noticed a computer inside of a black van in the Orochi compound. It had two quests for me. Both were marked devastating.

Being a fearless sort, I picked up The Filth Amendment and tried it anyway. This was not a good idea. The mobs in the quarry tore me apart, and in short order, disabused of any notions of completion, I moved on to Egypt.

What I want to know though, is when should I return to Blue Mountain to take care of these quests? They were marked as devastating when I was in full QL6 gear with a QL8 weapon. At what point do these quests transition to Hard or Normal?

texts: How high is the probability that a hunter has an Unleash the Hounds combo in their hand?

texts:
Playing around the Starving Buzzard and Unleash the Hound combo is probably the most important factor in a match against a hunter. Letting them draw too many cards and clear the board with the hounds can easily lose you a game. But playing too few minions in fear of UtH can be equally dangerous, especially for decks that rely on having many minions on the board.

Until now I mostly went with gut feeling on the decision to play around UtH or limit the number of minions on my side. But I'd like to put my decisions on a more solid base here.

What is the actual probability that a hunter has Unleash the Hounds and Starving Buzzard on the hand at any point in time? It should be possible to calculate that, taking into account the mulligan phase, tracking and any other card draw. The result would obviously depend on the number of rounds played, or more exactly on the number of cards drawn by the hunter.

texts:
I can't remember map name, but it was a small building in center of map. I think it was a pizza shop. I only had ballistic weapons, but was 1 day away from lasers. Did detour over xeno and containment. My goal was to capture a sectoid. I moved on blue move from start. I activated a 3 thin man pod. Ok no problem. Sniper missed. Mec missed. Run and gun my assault to door of shop to get at least one, but I activated 2 more pods of thin man inside the shop, along with one more pod of thin man on the right side. Sniper dies, before he had time to move.

Now I am facing all 12 enemies of that map, all thin man. Luckily I was able to revive my sniper, but my assault ended up  dying.

Is fighting this many Thin Men at once bad luck, or normal for first mission in May on Impossible?

texts:
I've picked up this game, and played around a bit. My current equipment is as follows:
Hard Sword: 3000/290%; Samurai Armour: 1400/240%; HP Gem+2; Attack Gem+2; Agi Gem+2; Recover Necklace; Exp Gem=1x2. My base ability level is 5 and my character of choice, top-left atk/agi, is level 2.

My current strategy is Fox-Sphinx-Dragon-Eye-Thunder-Earth-Fire-Water-Hydra-Disk; with stops as necessary for XP to continue pushing, and for any ? ? ? bonus I come across.

I can fairly consistently reach the Maze with ~10-15 battles remaining, and have discovered a second disk once, which brought me to a next map which i was unable to explore much due to the rapidly ramping levels. What changes can I make to progress further in the game?

texts: Plants v Zombies 2 no access to Wild West and Pirate Seas

texts:
Plants v Zombies 2. I've played all 24 levels of Ancient Egypt and defeated Dr Zomboss but there is no access to Pirate seas or Wild West. I tried updating the game and resetting my IPhone but no joy.

Before I give up and delete the game and redownload i'd like to check that my copy really is defective (and its not just me making some basic error) because I've bought extra plants in the Zen garden using the gems that I've won and don't want to lose them unless it can't be avoided

Thanks for any help


texts: How to test for 3 or more items in Minecraft inventory?

texts:
I built a town in Minecraft, and I want to add a currency system. I know you can test for exactly a certain number with /execute; however, it's very annoying to have to sort out  EXACTLY the amount needed to buy something.
So my question: Is there a way to test for 3 or more of an item? Like, if you're holding 64 currency and the item you're buying costs 3?


texts:
In the Pokémon games, there are certain moves that you teach your Pokémon via a machine that comes in 2 varieties, Technical or Hidden.

The Technical Machine comes from the Japanese " わざマシン ", which translates to "Move Machine". This makes sense, as it teaches moves.

However, the Hidden Machine comes from the Japanese " ひでんマシン ", which translates to "Secret Machine". What is it that makes it secret?

Is there any canonical reasoning behind the naming of the Hidden Machine?

texts: How do I update my full list of games on my Offline PC?

texts:
So when I got Steam working offline I had 26 games listed in my library but only 2 installed. Recently I brought a bunch more so I want to update my library on my Offline PC with the full list that's on my Online Laptop.

I thought that all I would need just copy the data from userdata/[ID]/config/localconfig.vdf however when I do the number goes down to 2 (the number of games I do have installed) and also the OST I got with Monster Monpiece doesn't appear. When I restore just that file the list and the music listing returns.

So what do I need to copy over from my Online Laptop to the Offline PC to update the list of games in the library?


texts: What will I lose functionality of if Usage Sharing is turned off?

texts:
As you can see from this options menu, apparently usage sharing has ominous wording on what disabling it does, including something about "loss of functionality".

I hope it's not gameplay-impeding because I don't like having data collected and yet this message seemingly implies the loss of something serious when I'm playing the game.

Does anyone know what this functionality lost is?


texts: What counts as a "wired" controller when connecting it to my laptop?

texts:
I'm trying to connect my 360 controller to my laptop but it won't connect. I have it plugged into the USB slot using the cable that came with a charge kit, and I have the "Xbox 360 controller for Windows" software installed already. So far all that's happened is the controller turns on then proceeds to turn on/connect to my Xbox which is in the basement, two floors below me...

Does this charger cable only charge the controller (it does turn on, so that parts working) or also create a wired connection from the controller to the laptop?

texts: CPU or framerate limiting on older games

texts:
There are some older games that seem to eat up as much CPU as you can produce even if only to render frames that they will drop - or perhaps perform some work that I don't consider necessary (since they were good enough on my machine in the 90s).

Specifically I'd like to limit an old DirectX 5 game: on Windows 7 Fallout 2, as my machine will get warmer and louder than I care for it to while playing Fallout as it maxes my CPU. There are various frame rate controls in the 3rd party patches, but they only seem to apply in certain, cosmetic, situation.

It would be great to know of a control that could be used for any game (something that limits the number of cycles a process can consume for instance).


texts: Does destiny affect the type of loot you get in Kingdoms of Amalur?

texts:
Does destiny change the loot you get?  If you take sorcery destiny will that make it so most items you get in the game world are weapons/armors mages use, or if you choose finesse destiny would it make it so that you mostly get finesse weapons/armors?

I am playing as pure warrior at the moment and most items I find in chests or dead bodies are warrior weapons (Greatswords,Longswords,Hammers) and warrior armors.  I do get items for other "classes" but not as much/often as warrior items.

So, I've been playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on my PS3 for a while now and it's really starting to get on my nerves that every time someone gets killed on multiplayer they explode money everywhere. I've searched and searched, but cannot seem to find where to turn this off and display either A) Blood or B) Nothing. Both would be preferable to dropping money when I get killed. Does anyone know how, or even if, I can change/disable this??

texts: How does one get first place in Clan Games

texts:
With the recent update, Clan Games is added. Basically, in this event, you do tasks and get points for every successful completion of each task, with points maxed at 500.

In a clan, members can check the leaderboards to see who has the most points collected in their clan. However, with a max of 500, and multiple people with 500 points, it's hard to see how you actually get first. It is not time-related (i.e first to 500 is automatic first place) as a new number one appeared in my clan.

So how do you actually end up in first place in your clan for Clan Games assuming there are multiple people that have reached the point cap of 500 (i.e if  players A, B, C, and D have met the cap, who ends up in first)?

texts: How do I tell another civilization to move its army away from my cities?

texts: I've had several different civilizations get upset at me and tell me to move my army away from their cities, and since I didn't feel like going to war right then, I have generally complied. However, one civilization has amassed a large army at a town that shares borders with one of mine, and a number of the units are on the border. Is there any way I can tell them to move away? I don't mind going to war with them, but I would like to at least delay it a few turns so I can complete a nuke and move in a few more units to protect myself better.


texts: Does fishing in a different direction cause problems?

texts:
I'm using an AFK fish farm and noticed that about over half the loot I get from fishing gets stuck behind a hopper (I'm using Panda's design, modified by Kabood). In my first farm, I fished East, and at least most of the loot I collected was collected by hoppers (I'm pretty sure all of it was collected, but I never did check to see if anything got stuck since it ran so smoothly). I had to move the farm, and now I fish South.

As earlier mentioned, about half the loot I collect never makes it to the hoppers; it gets stuck behind one of them. Since the old design worked pretty much perfectly, does fishing in a different direction affect how well I can fish? I'm on 1.11.2.

I am also 90% sure the design I currently have is the same to the old one. I did add some blocks on the side and lighting above the farm for decorative purposes.

The farm:

texts: About opening Hero's gate (Eternal Sonata)

texts:
I have beat the game, I got the Hero's crest thing, and entered the portal, beat the final boss and saved over the same save file.

Then found out that the Hero's crest opens a gate in the noise dunes. But I can't go back since I saved after beating the final boss.

So I though about getting to noise dunes by playing the second playthrough. But I heard you can only open the Hero's Gate during the first playthrough. Does that mean I have to start a new game? Then why do I begin the second playthrough with the Hero Crest item?

By the way, what does a second/third/fourth playthrough offer anyway?


texts: Why does potion level 128 give some potions weird effects?

texts:
In Minecraft, some potion effects seem to get weird effects if you use level 128.

This seems to happen with:

Haste, some block will be insta-mined, some blocks are unable to be mined. The hand-swing animation is also very slow.
Mining Fatigue, while you can't mine anything like with level 127, the hand-swing animation is gone.
Jump boost, you are unable to jump.
Regeneration, it seems much slower then level 127.
Wither, it seems much slower then level 127.
Levitation, it seems to increase gravity. As soon as you jump or fall, you are much faster on the ground then normal.

Why does potion level 128 give some potions weird effects and why doesn't it happen with all potions?


texts:
I've researched this quite extensively but my results seem to be going against the information provided already.

Excluding additional benefits such as bonus stats/relics/skill points (etc) my weapons that do "bonus elemental damage" (excluding launchers) seem to do: Weapon damage x elemental effect (150% flesh/200% corrosive etc) + 2x splash damage (Torque pistol = 100% etc)

So when it comes to, for example, the Torgue pistols with bonus explosive damage it's doing 3x the damage it states on the weapon card and from all my research nobody is boasting that kind of multiplier.

Therefore my question is, is my evaluation of the damage of weapons that say bonus elemental damage correct or am I somehow evaluating it incorrectly.

Additionally, are there explosive weapons that don't have bonus explosive damage as I only really collect elemental weapons and have neglected to see if there are explosive weapons that don't have bonus explosive damage.

These, I'm aware, are really nooby questions but I am a Borderlands 2 noob so any help would be much appreciated. Cheers.

p.s. My Maliwan pistol with bonus damage seems to do 100% splash damage (2x) which contradicts this post.

I bought FIFA 12 two years ago on Amazon, as a disc. When I installed it, it went through Origin, and now I play the game with Origin. Now I want to get FIFA 13 or 14, and they don't show up on the Origin store. I found this that offers a FIFA 14 Origin key, but if the game isn't in the Origin store, can I still download it?

I've noticed that when I want to reinstall my copy of FIFA 12 I can just redownload it from Origin, so presumably it's somewhere in the cloud. Does that mean that FIFA 14 is also still around, but Origin just doesn't offer it in their store anymore?

texts:
In "Cold Boot", on GLaDOS 7 -- the first time I encounter a companion cube -- the Material Emancipation grid is broken.

GLaDOS makes a point of pointing this out, and saying don't take anything with you in her extra dramatic voice... which implies I should take the Companion Cube with me.

But I can't figure out how to! I need the cube on the switch to open the door, and I don't see any way to get the cube without closing the door to Floor 7.

texts: What's the Most Efficient Way to Farm Crafting Supplies From Mobs

I'm trying to work on my weapon and armor crafting in GW2, but I find myself running short on crafting supplies like totems and venom sacks.

texts: How do you deal with high-level storylets, that inflict menaces on failure?

texts:
As you advance in Fallen London, the penalties for failing a storylet get stiffer: you'll pick up Scandal, or Wounds, or one of the other menaces. In the early game, the key to quick advancement is to attempt difficult storylets: whether you succeed or fail, you'll gain several change points per storylet you attempt, and you'll eventually succeed if you attempt the action enough. When you attempt an easy storylet, you'll only gain one change point.

How you do reconcile gaining menaces on failure with the desire to explore new content and advance quickly? If you have a 50% failure rate on a storylet, you're going to pick up menaces rather quickly. Is this the way that Fallen London pushes you towards social interaction? The social actions reduce menaces faster and cheaper than the bazaar-purchasable menace-reducing items or being sent to one of the Places of Menace (a state of some confusion, the boatman, etc.)? Or should I gaze longingly at the shiny new content I've just unlocked and ignore it until I've gained another 15 points of Watchful and are far less likely to fail?


texts: What's the most efficient way to travel with your lamp lit?

texts:
In Sunless Sea, you'll travel to exotic places in a steamboat, meet new and exciting denizens, and then die in some gristly manner or another. I'm curious about the "travel" part: you can go fast or slow, and I'd like to know which method is more efficient (in money-per-distance terms) when you have your lamp on. (If you leave the lamp off, you pick up Terror, and then your crew eventually goes mad and/or mutinies. I'm trying to avoid that particular death at the moment.)

There are two things that make this more complicated, and might make fast travel more efficient than slow travel, even if the engine power itself is less efficient:

Your lamp burns fuel
Your crew eat supplies (I've never managed to upgrade the tramp steamer, so I never have more than 10 crew)

So: which speed burns more money per kilometer? By how much?

(I'm aware that Sunless Sea is currently in Early Access, and the devs might well tweak the fuel-consumption formula later.)


texts: What is the minimum cost for alpha access?

texts:
Star Citizen has a link on their homepage that says "Reserve Your Alpha Slot." However, clicking it simply takes you to their store's main page, which has no information regarding which purchases grant you access to the alpha. The only information regarding the alpha that I can find is that the Aurora MR "does not include access to the Alpha and Beta of the game."

Does this mean that all other purchases do? Also, if one makes a purchase that grants access to the alpha, does this also grant them access to the game once it's released, or will that cost extra?

length of the game
did any player concede

Which factors actually play a role, and how important is each factor? Some numbers or a formula would be ideal, but I suspect that I might have to settle for some rough guidelines as no actual values are ever displayed in the game.

texts:
I am the duke and got the claim on my Lieges kingdom.
My liege can

I can get myself 10000 I have
few other dukes (that are also vassals of my liege) allied to me.
Currently, my faction has no any supporters.
Also, I can create an alliance with 2 neighbouring countries, each has 2000-5000 army...

What is the best way for me to take over the kingdom?

Straightforward way is to demand installation of Claimant. In this case, I most likely won't be supported by my allies as they are first vassals... Am I right? Also, fighting the same size opponent is sketchy: both sides will lose too much. Though, I can bring allies... but that going to be a liability going forward.

I guess I better keep making schemas, spy on all potential supporters and boost the faction. It may take few years, but this looks more reliable.

I could also declare Independance, but later I would need to claim the throne anyway... so this does not look like a viable option at all.

Is there any other option? Please advise!

Thanks!


texts:
I am trying to work out how turret damage is affected by armour, skills and masteries.

Here is the information for turret damage as far as I am aware:

Turret        Range  Base HP    AD     Gains 6 AD every:        AD Caps at:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outer Tower   1000*  Various    152    1 min at each :40 second mark.   200
Middle Tower  1000*  Various    197    1 min starting at 7:00 mark.     263
Inner Tower   1000*  Various    210    1 min starting at 16:00 mark.    330
Nexus Tower   1000*  Various    115    1 min at each :40 second mark.   343
Nexus Obelisk 1000*    9999*    999    N/A                              N/A

Does armour reduce it, the same it
would for auto attacks?
Do items like  thornmail and skills like Rammus' curl reflect damage?
Do skills like Maoki's ultimate (-15% damage in the aoe) or Alistair's ultimate (-75% damage on self) affect the turret damage?
Does the last defensive mastery negate 4% of the damage?

texts: Are items that disappear from Fallout: New Vegas companion inventories lost forever?

texts:
Twice now, I've completed a side quest in Fallout: New Vegas, received a unique weapon, given that weapon to one of my companions and then had the weapon disappear completely from the game. Is there a way to get these weapons back? I'm playing the 360 version, so console shenanigans won't work.

I have a theory about why this is happening, but I haven't been able to prove it. I'm guessing the weapon condition drops to zero while the companion is using it. When my own items break down in use, they just get grayed-out in the Pip-Boy screen, but they can still be repaired or transferred to a container. Maybe the companion inventories can't handle such unusable items?

But when you try to press - number 1 on the keyboard to use it like you use Zhonyas for example, nothing happens. Does this item actually works like that, or am I misunderstanding its concept?


texts: League promotions halted when Grandmaster is re-calculated?

texts:
So lately I've noticed that the Grandmaster list is empty (not yet ranked).  Before that happened, I saw some unfamiliar players on the top of that list, and when I reviewed their build orders it showed that they were winning simply because the opponent was leaving when the match started.

Since this time, I've started to play way above my league.  I have over 1000 points in Silver, and 2nd place is 700.  I got promoted to Silver much easier than this, and I'm wondering if the recent series of disconnects (or whatever stopped the rankings of the Grandmaster league) is related to my inability to move up.  Not that it matters (because mmr != league), but I'm playing exclusively Gold players now.

Bonus points for anyone who can explain what happened to halt the Grandmaster rankings.  Is it possible that someone found a way to disconnect an opponent and railed their way to up GM status?  Makes me reminiscence of the days of AOL punters (if you actually get this, I love you).


texts: How to get rid of archer queen when attacking?

texts:
When attacking with giants or hogs, they always get destroyed quickly by the archer queen. If the queen is in the middle of the base, she can't be loured out. Otherwise I'd take care of her similar to Clan Castle troops. I'm TH 8.

A problem is hogs can jump over walls, but the troops that would attack the queen generally don't (e.g. wizard, archer, barbarian, p.e.k.k.a, etc)

texts: Is there enough synergy in different race combinations to justify a race switch when playing 2v2?

texts:
I prefer playing as zerg generally, although I do a fair amount of "random", but I've recently started playing 2v2 with a friend who's also a zerg player, and I have been considering switching to playing terran, simply for the synergy of medivacs and zerg, but also to offer up a few more options when dealing with issues like stealth, air, drops, early rushes, etc.

I would like to keep my question focused, and also widely applicable, so my primary question is: will switching to T/Z give us an edge in 2v2 over Z/Z assuming I'm almost as good at Terran as I am as Zerg?

But some secondary questions I wouldn't mind getting feedback on are:

What Z/Z synergies might we be losing?  I'm specifically thinking of the benefit of having 2 people producing creep instead of 1.
is it a good idea in general to choose races in 2v2 based on race synergies?
what other race combos have interesting synergies/strategies?


texts: How can I disable the in-game console in Fallout: New Vegas?

texts:
As brought up in related questions here on Arqade, the in-game console can easily disable achievements if you accidentally hit the tilde button ~, furthermore for people who lack the self-control not to cheat, disabling the console seems like a good option.

However I can't seem to figure out how to actually disable it. Plenty of tutorials suggest setting bAllowConsole to 0 in various .ini files, but that doesn't seem to do anything.

Perhaps there is a way to rebind the key from tilde to something else (like a key that doesn't exist on most keyboards?)


texts: How can I effectively deal with the dog, ninja, or addict?

texts:
The dog, ninja, and addict special enemies, like all enemies, appear to move a little bit faster than the player. Bullets bounce off of them (including shots with the piercing shot hack), and they can't be melee attacked (with the katana or regular punches). The berserk hack does not grant immunity to their attacks. The dog cannot be distracted by throwing a bone (yes, I tried).
Is there any reliable way to deal with them other than avoid them and try to finish the level before they kill you?

So this is possible and is there a special way I have to build this? Thanks

texts: Do I keep Flare in my Opening Hand Against Mages

texts:
I am playing a Midrange Hunter with one copy of Flare in the Un'goro Meta.

The mages in the Un'goro meta seemingly all have Ice block, and possibly Ice Barrier in their deck.

If I were to keep Flare, it would hard counter an Ice block, allowing me to kill the mage one turn, and possibly two turns earlier.

However, keeping a Flare means I have a dead card in my hand until many turns later, possibly until the last turn of the game. This could delay my killing the mage a turn or more also.

Should I keep flare in my opening hand against Mages?

What is the condition for eating other objects? How much overlap is needed?

I have played about 3 hours of Dragon Age Origins before I decided that I didn't like it. I read some reviews of Dragon Age 2 and thought that I would give it a shot.

Thanks.

texts: Draught of Living Death/Astronomy Tower Secret Room

texts:
In this thread: What is the purpose of the Draught of Living Death?

someone says that, along with Dumbledore (Cursed) and Skeleton, the Draught of Living Death is needed to gain access to a secret room in Dumbledore's Observatory (I'm assuming this means the Astronomy Tower) but they don't actually say how to do this. The nearest cauldron to the Astronomy Tower is in the lobby, and the D.o.L.D. wears off as soon as you go through the doors into the courtyard. Even then, there seems to be no actionable area in the Astronomy Tower that could open a secret room, other than the grid by the already used Parsletongue puzzle.

Does anyone know anything about this??

texts: How does the Forgotten tech Learn From Others work?

texts:
I am playing a single player game with The Forgotten, the new faction added with the Shadows expansion. I am playing on Hard AI difficulty, at Slow game pace. I have unlocked the faction-specific technology, "Learn From Others". The text on this particular tech states the following:

  +3 XP per turn on hero
  +5 XP per turn per infiltrated hero on hero

It was my assumption that this XP boost is calculated like this:

Z = number of infiltrated heroes
[base hero XP] + 3XP + (5XP * Z)

I am not seeing results that affirm my assumption. I currently have 8 infiltrated heroes. According to my assumptions, that means all of my heroes should be earning

[base XP] + 3XP + (5XP * 8) = [base] + 43XP per turn

However, the hero earning the most XP per turn is earning 10 XP total per turn. I will admit that my formula does seem flawed; 43 XP per turn on every hero seems ridiculously overpowered. How exactly does the "Learn From Others" tech increase hero XP gains? What is the formula that is being used by the game?


texts: How to get Charmander as your Pokémon in Red Rescue Team?

When the remake of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon came out, I decided to play the original, because I don't have a Switch. On my first try, I managed to get Charmander as my main character. But due to how the game works on my emulator (I'm using the VBA), it didn't save. So I tried again with the intent to add save states this time, and I had a different set of questions, and I would get something entirely different, like Cubone, no matter how many times I reset.
My question is: how do I ensure I get a male Charmander specifically as my character (not as my partner but as the main character)?

texts: Is there a quick way to obtain a perfect Yveltal?

texts:
So far Yveltal is probably my favorite legendary, I'm attempting to legitimately catch one with IVs I prefer.

I have a theory, please help me validate it, that using Nintendo's app that transfers save data to the SD/microSD card I save before my encounter with Yveltal, and copy my data on to another SD card(I know this part works from experience) as a back-up, then I use one the save data from one card and catch, and transfer Yveltal over to AS to quickly check the IVs, if fail overwrite the save(because of the annoying auto-save) with the back up and continue.

I realize that this would be a major exploit because of the obvious duplication, which is why I'm afraid of testing it myself, and I am not intending to duplicate.  I'm sure there's a much better, shorter, and sweeter way to go about this without saving that I'm not thinking of, if you have one such method it would be appreciated!

texts: How to make Steam allow automatic login even when not connected to the internet?

Currently, I have Steam set to start automatically in Big Picture Mode when my Windows 8 machine boots. The idea is that this computer will mostly be used for gaming, so it is a good default. Part of my ideal experience is that I will be automatically logged and brought directly to my library of games.

This is mostly accomplished. The only catch is that when I do not have network access (rare, but sometimes the case), Steam does not automatically logged me in. Instead, it feels the needs to ask me whether to try again, or whether to log in using offline mode.

Is there a way to have Steam automatically log in using offline mode, but only if there is no network access?

texts: Do Legendary drops only come from specific bosses?

texts:
From a Gearbox forum thread, legendary weapons drop from specific bosses in Borderlands 2. While this might make it easier to farm, it would be very useful to know if I can ever get legendary guns by normal, non-boss means. I have noticed extremely few legendary guns so far (two in >50 hours of gameplay, level 38 currently) so I'm wondering if I need to farm bosses or if they're maybe more common at level 50 or something.

Do legendaries still drop from chests? Do the legendary items still drop from other enemies/bosses, just with reduced chance? I'm assuming/hoping Terramorpheous can drop any legendary?

I know Mike Mamaril might give you Orange items but since I'm on PC he's insanely rare so he's not a useful weapon source.


texts: Is there a trick to the 'Find something quests?

texts:
Would it be to find a dog tag or frogs, I seem to be missing something in the 'go find something for me' quests.

I go to the area, and then run in circles for half an hour to find the prompt to pickup.

Am I doing the quest right? Or is there some ability that makes it easier to find the quest item? (Something like asking your party to look for the thing instead of tagging along with me whining that its cold and rainy)


texts: My program works in simulation but fails in game mode

texts:
I've set up my code so that my main module consists of only the following:

var main = require('main2');

main();

This works in simulation's survival training mode, where main is a function.  However, in the online survival mode I have started getting the following error:

main:3
main();
^
TypeError: object is not a function
    at main:3:1
    at process.emit (events.js:110:17)

Why have I started getting this error in the online survival mode?

texts: Should I purchase a Two Pack for myself or as a gift?

texts:
I was about to buy a Portal 2 - Two Pack, but I'm not sure how to proceed:

What happens to the second license when I buy the Two Pack? Will I still be able to 'gift' the second license to somebody else?
