texts: Does combining tools have a maximum durability limit?

texts:
I saw this answer which explains when combining items, the result will be:

  Tool 1 durability + Tool 2 durability + (Maximum durability/10) = Resulting durability

However, it mentions a maximum durability but doesn't explain if this limit can be hit again. For example, if I combine two pickaxes which have been used once each, will the result be:

  Axe 1 durability + Axe 2 durability + (Maximum durability/10) = Maximum durability (100%)

Or:

  Axe 1 durability (99%) + Axe 2 durability (99%) + (Maximum durability/10) (10%) = 208% durability

texts: How is the received number of trophies calculated?

texts:
So I have been playing Clash of Clans for a while now and have noticed that the number of trophies received on a win greatly fluctuate. By this, I do not mean for a full win only. I am talking about winning with 1 and 2 stars mostly.

Does anyone know if the percentage of destruction on the enemy village has anything to do with the amount of trophies you get on said 'win'? I have a feeling that it does since I have looked at the number I receive from a 2 star at 50% and 2 star at 95%, but like I said its a personal thought. Can anyone confirm?

Pretty much as per subject. (And if he also does so in previous games or the 3DS version, sorry.) When you select 8-Player Smash, he says, "Eight-player Smash!" but when you pick regular Smash mode, he says what sounds like "Rainfall!"

I thought this might be a muddled way of saying "Ready to fight!" but he says this when the character screen pops up, before everyone is necessarily ready.

texts: How to play Mine Little Pony Mod in Minecraft 1.12.2

texts:
I have Minecraft 1.12.2

I'd like to use the Mine Little Pony Mod with LiteLoader so I downloaded liteloader for 1.1.2, made a mods folder in ..../Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods and inside placed mod-minelittlepony-1.12.2.1-mc1.12.2.litemod.  I selected liteloader and clicked play but I still see the original game.

I noticed that a new folder 1.12.2 was created inside mods so I also copied the mod-minelittlepony-1.12.2.1-mc1.12.2.litemod there but it didn't help.

Is it possible to play this mod with this version of Minecraft?  Can anybody tell me where I'm going wrong please?


texts: Seamless teleportation with rotation - Minecraft 1.14

texts:
I am trying to figure out how to seamlessly teleport the player while also rotating them, the problem is when just doing

execute as @a[x=-153,y=29,dy=2,z=-84] at @s rotated as @s run tp @s ~-37 ~10 ~1 ~180 ~

the x position won't be correct because it isn't being mirrored. The problem is that I don't know how to do that. I think it would be using score operations, but then I don't know the maths for it.

Consider the picture below:
If the player is up against the blue stained glass (the starting position) they are at x -151.3, and if they are up against the lime stained glass (the destination), x is -190.7.
I would need to reflect over the red stained glass (the center line) to make teleporting the player 180° with relative coordinates seamless. How would I go about doing that? (If I get what I need for the x axis, I should be able to apply it to the z axis myself).

texts: How did I get kills without gunship or missile as a commander?

texts:
I was getting kills without the gunship or missile deployed. All I remember I had deployed was the EMP UAV, and every few seconds, I was hitting a tank and was gaining points right up until I got 100 points, then I got the kill.

How on earth did I kill that poor guy?

Edit
It seems that the EMP UAV damages tanks too - but not all the time! Hence why I was so confused yet happy when I killed that guy.

Update
I had this happen again over the weekend, but I was on my iPad when it happened - and I can confirm that I had:

No gunships deployed
no EMP or UAV deployed
On Rogue Transmission
Just captured point C (Gunship point)
on my iPad

I then lost connection, after the second time it happened, to the server.

texts: There are 10.000 leaves stuck in infinitely looping itemduct network. How do I get them out?

texts:
Yesterday my local server suddenly got huge tick lag. Whenever I place or remove a block, try to open an inventory, eat, etc I need to wait a couple of seconds before the server catches up.

By now, I've finally found the problem. There is a part of my itemduct network that has about 10.000 leaves in an infinite loop, and I don't know how to get them out without crashing Minecraft.

I initially tried breaking a block in the loop, this caused all leaves to spill out and left me with less than 1 FPS. I had to stop it because it just kept getting slower.

Second thing I tried was attaching an inventory to the network and setting a connected itemduct to vacuum. Didn't work, the leaves are still in the network.

Right now, I don't know what else to do. How do I get them out?

If I attack the city after it's out of health, the attack animation plays but the red -20 health thing doesn't show, and their health bar doesn't go down.

The city I'm destroying isn't their capital, and I haven't attacked any other cities.

The civ I'm trying to destroy is the Aztecs. I have the brave new world DLC.

texts: How do I build an incinerator that doesn't burn down my house?

texts:
Usually I have trouble acquiring items, but in 1.11 with a mending fishing rod I'm starting to have a problem I've never had before... too much junk.

So I built a simple incinerator, consisting of a single lava block hidden in my stone floor, with a dropper immediately above it to hide it. This was inset in the wall, and had a button to activate. A little tedious collecting all 80 saddles and 2000 boots (I exaggerate only slightly), put them in, and soon things are back to normal.

That is, until the spontaneous fires occurred. I don't use very many flammable blocks, so it was more shocking than harming, but I wasn't aware that air blocks above lava can catch fire spontaneously even if covered.

How deep do I have to put the lava so that the stone floor doesn't burst into flames? I've got at least 5 or 6 depth that I can use for this.

texts: What Are Some Advantages of Different Usages of Jokers?

texts:
I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight into the pros and cons of different uses of Joker tiles in Lock-n-Roll.

So basically the way I've been playing, is I'll play until I fill up the board, and am forced to use a Joker to continue.  I do my best to set up to board so that each Joker will clear as many dice as possible.  If I have 2 jokers, I almost always use them both together at this point.

I was wondering, is this the best way for me to use them?  does it sometimes make sense to use one or more Joker(s) before the board is entirely filled up?  When I can't make any moves that will clear any dice, or even fit into a clearable pattern, I just place dice in spaces that will generate me the most points, before filling the board, and using my Joker(s).  Is this wise?

Try Lock-n-Roll for yourself, as a web-based flash game.  The game is also available on iPhone/iPod Touch, and Droid.

texts: Is there any way to reduce repeated science experiments?

texts:
There are many science experiments in the game that only give you part of the (remaining) value whenever you carry them out and retrieve the data. So, even if you rerun the experiment, you only get part of the remaining value again, leaving yet another fraction of the full value. Like, the first time you get 75%, the second time you get 75% of the remaining 25% for a total of
93.75%, then 98.4375% for the third, and so on.

Even if you rerun the experiments again and again, you only seem to get asymptotically close to 100%, but actually reaching it seems to be impossible (or at least require an unreasonable amount of resources and effort).

Personally, I hate ending up with so many experiments in my Science Library whose value bar is somewhere around 90+% full - that just kind of tickles my OCD tendencies the wrong way.

Therefore, I have been wondering if maybe there is some way to eventually retrieve the full science value for every experiment with a limited number of runs?


texts: Will the Origin Store language affect the in-game language? (ME3)

texts:
I want to buy Mass Effect 3, and to that purpose, I just created an Origin account. The problem is that I live in Switzerland, and the Origin Store apparently detects my country and then forces the German version of the site on me (even though Switzerland has four official languages, but never mind). I can't find any way to change the language: the language menu at the bottom of the site only allows me to choose German (very clever use of a language menu -_-), and if I manually change the URL to the English version (https://www.origin.com/us/store/), it still redirects me to the German URL (https://www.origin.com/de-de/store/). (I already chose English in my account settings, but that didn't change anything.)

Same problem in the PC client, which is obviously just a shell displaying the store website. I can change the language of the client, but it only affects the interface. The content of the store is still shown in German, with the same one-choice language menu.

Despite those powerful incentives to use a cracked version of the game, I'm still willing to fight my way through the interface in a language I barely speak in order to buy the game.

My only concern is that doing so would result in the game being installed in German as well, which is obviously unacceptable. I'm not familiar with Origin at all, I've never purchased or installed any game through that platform, so I don't know how games languages are dealt with.

In short: if I purchase and install ME3 through the German version of the Origin Store, will I still be able to play the game in English?

Thanks in advance.

Are there any limit to how much armor a hero can have in Hearthstone?


texts: Have enough room but still needs more for high density?

texts:
So I was zoning my city, doing some experiences and then after I planned the layout of the roads to get the maximum number of High Density buildings back-to-back, I was very happy with the result and started buying the roads and zoning all over the place.

But then, after a while, buildings wanted to upgrade their density so they did it, but noticed that a row of houses didn't increase. Moused over the houses and they said:
 "Not enough room to increase density"

I checked the size that the houses needed and the little rectangule is green,
 and green = good to go? (See picture below)

The road of the houses is the best quality, and I dezoned that area just for demonstration. And I don't want houses or anything else in the main avenue.

So.. how is the game not upgrading the houses? Seems like everything (or not, for some reason) is perfect for the grow...

I've won on the Teutoburg Forest several times by getting my Eagle Cohorts out of the forest, but the game hasn't given me any victory medal for it.

Therefore, is there a proper way to get a medal on the Teutoburg Forest or is it just broken?

texts:
My character has an active effect 'Reanimation', which probably originates from a reanimated corpse that somehow vanished, seemingly due to a bug (the 'Reanimation' spell is probably from Skyrim Redone).

Now I can not get rid of this effect any more. The remaining time of the 'Reanimation' effect is currently shown as 998 days.

Using the console command 'dispelallspells' works, but I don't want to use this because I have a lot of other effects, partly from mods, and I don't want to add them all manually again, and I am unsure about this command and its effects in general.

I tried to remove the 'Reanimation' spell, with player.removespell xyz, but this did not help, and the effect still lasts. I also tried to use the reanimation spell again on another corpse, but this had just the effect that I had two spells 'Reanimation' active.

Is there a way to get rid of this spell? I realized that the effect is active only because my conjuration level is constantly increasing. Unfortunately, I going back to a save game before the bug occured would loose a lot of game time.

texts:
I generally prefer the third person perspective over the first person one.

I switched out following the intro, and things have gone well till I started the Dark Brotherhood quest. That seemed to have bounced me back into first person, and I can't switch out. I try pressing on the right stick (Xbox controller, but PC version of the game), nothing. I reassign the key to X, press that, nothing. I take the controller out, try F on the keyboard and rolling the mouse wheel, nothing. I reassign THOSE keys, nothing.

Frustrated, I try loading a previous save, and those games are also locked in the camera (although generally locked in 3rd person).

I'm at my wits end here; and I'm honestly wondering if I'm doing something wrong, that there's something else you need to do to trigger the camera angle change.

Anyone have any ideas?


texts: What are the worthwhile rewards from doing the faction challenges?

texts:
Every faction in Assassin's Creed: Revelations appears to have a few sets of challenges associated with them.  Under some of them it appears there is a reward for completing an entire set.  However, I'm having a tough time determining which rewards are actually useful.  For instance, one of the bomb maker challenges gives me bomb ingredients at my hideouts, but I have no idea how many ingredients, how fast they respawn, and if they are "rare" or "common" variants.

Is there a list of the challenge rewards, and approximately how useful they end up being?  I'd rather not farm a bunch of these challenges if they make very little difference to the game.  However, if having one of these rewards early makes certain missions or facets of the game simpler, I'd like to prioritize it.

First, are all types of biomes, guaranteed to exist in a world? Will I always find snow somewhere, and desert somewhere? I've got one world that doesn't seem to have cactus (so I guess the sand is beaches, no actual desert).

Second, is there any kind of pattern or relation to biomes? Is snow to the North, and desert South, for example?

Third, how about density of biomes? If all types do exist, would I find them all within distance X of my spawnpoint, or have to travel for weeks to find a given type?


texts: Does party disposition affect priest and paladin powers of party members too?

texts:
I know that if you play a priest or a paladin in Pillars of Eternity, then your various dispositions will affect the strength of some of your powers and abilities (Holy Radiance in the case of priests, and Faith and Conviction in the case of Paladins).

I was wondering though if the dispositions you build as a result of your actions also affects the strength of abilities for any priests and paladins in your party as well, not just your main character?

So for example, if I hire a Kind Wayfarer paladin to join my team (favored dispositions are benevolent and passionate), will his or her Faith and Conviction become weaker (or at least no stronger) if I'm deceptive and cruel?


texts: Is there an alert message for approaching enemy armies?

texts:
I am playing EU4 in ironman mode and noticed that I often loose a large number of troops/ships and sometimes entire wars simply because I am focused on a specific war theatre and do not notice that somewhere else a large enemy army is approaching my position.

I often leave supporting troops in an adjacent province ready to move in in case of an enemy attack in order to reduce attrition and to draw the enemy in thinking that my position is weak. With this strategy it is very important to notice when you're about to be assaulted so you can move in in time.

Therefore, the question is whether there is a message pop up one can enable that pauses the game and lets me know that an enemy is approaching.


texts: Mount & Blade Warband - Question Regarding Feasts

texts:
I've encountered a strange issue with the process of holding feasts. As a vassal, you can hold up to as many feasts as you want and there is absolutely no limit or a cool-down timer between each one of them. When you're an independent ruler, on the other hand, your wife forces you to wait at least six days before organizing a new feast.

Question is, is there any way to bypass this little issue? I'd like to be able to hold as many feasts as I want without having the cool-down timer, just like it's completely possible as a vassal of any kingdom.

Thanks in advance.


texts: Abnormally slow speeds downloading from Steam

texts:
I'm trying to download Terraria in this case, and I have tested the download speed of this computer's adapter already; 1.5mb/s. Despite this, downloading things in Steam will only reach up to 150kb/s. I have switched from 4 servers, I live in Florida so I tried Houston, Atlanta, New York, and Miami. All 4 gave me the same speed or worse. Please help.

I have another computer with Steam on it that runs Windows 10, but can download up to 3mb/s. This is an issue on here.

EDIT: I do recommend checking all the solutions people have given, it doesn't seem my solution was universal. Hope you can figure it out here.


texts:
I am playing Minecraft: Console Edition on the Xbox, version 1.8.8 in Survival. The seed for my world is 6881183219423020393.

I got some Eyes of Ender and found where to dig. I dug a 10 by 30 block rectangle down into the ground, then found a structure which I thought was the stronghold. I entered the stronghold and explored it, but there were only five rooms or so. Most importantly, the End Portal was missing.

So then I dug beyond the ends of the rooms, and any place that looked like it was an unfinished dead end, or some resources in the walls. Nothing.

I dug a 20x40 rectangle down into bedrock. Still nothing.
I went back up, and dug around in the areas above the place where the stronghold is. Nothing.
I dug out the entire strong hold. Nothing.

Then I went to creative mode, and blew up layers in all directions. Still nothing. I went to some other corners of the world, and searched for the stronghold again, but I was led back to the same place.
I found a crevice at the end of one room. I explored that completely, and found no more strongholds.

Then I went to the MineAtlas site to see if there was information there, but the map they have for my seed doesn't match my map.

I consulted the wiki, and it said that there is only one stronghold per world on the Console Edition.

So... what should I do? I'm not too keen on starting over, or having this ever happen again.

Addendum: I'm reading that it's a world generator error. Okay, how can I tell if I am in a world that has an error?

texts:
I'm having a lot of fun playing Ottomans in EU4, I've gotten up to around 1630, got 110 provinces, and my economy is rather awesome. I have a surplus of around 150 ducats per month, and I'm running out of ways to spend it. I spend a lot on building out my provinces, but since all buildings cost monarch points (adm/dip/mil) as well, I can't just spend all the money there.

I suppose I could use it to hire all available mercenaries, but my 134K strong army doesn't really need reinforcing.

Using it for improving relations could be attractive, but it seems no matter how much you spend, you can never get more than 15 relation points, and I tend to get that with just 25 or 50 ducats.

I've hired all level 3 advisors, to try and convert some of the gold into monarch points, but I'm still running with a huge surplus.

So now I'm just accumulating money, got over 30K in the bank, but that just seems wasteful.

Any suggestions on how I could use some of all that money to further my quest for world domination?

If your scientists are willing, we'll be happy to hear more about this technology, compared to the existing 'Hyperdrive I'.

We might even consider replacing our current CTO, with yours or even a potato.


texts: How can I map a button on a controller to launch Steam Big Picture

texts:
I'd like to be able to, like with a PS3, pick up my controller and hit a button and have Steam Big Picture load up.

To complicate the situation, I already have steam running (to keep games up to date) so it really needs to just launch Big Picture mode, not another instance entirely. I also don't want to use the built in option to launch Steam in Big Picture mode as that will just suck up gpu power all day long for no reason.

Does such a software switch exist and if so how can I map it to a controller button. (I could maybe use some logitech direct input software to make the later happen but I'd still need a switch)

The only thing that comes to mind as being close to what would work is when I use in-home streaming it will autolaunch Big Picture on the source machine via software. Can that be tapped somehow just locally?

texts: One of my Minecraft worlds suddenly disappeared and I tried copying the whole file and going to my saves in Finder to replace it to see if it worked, it would always just be gone when I opened Minecraft again. the file was still in the saves, but I can't see it when I open mMinecraft. I tried using an older version of Minecraft to see if that worked, but it didn't. I tried to put in the items into a new world in my saves folder one by one to check what was making the world disappear when opened, but that didn't work at all. I don't know what to do, me and my friend worked super hard on that map, we had a ton of stuff in it , I'd just really hate it if the world was just gone. Can anyone help?

texts:
I have a failure to transfer my game from one HDD to another, and one PC to another. I copied the entire Skyrim folder from one HDD to another. And told where to find it also. Steam did a huge check of my HDD.

But it ended up downloading most of the files anyway. It took a week to download Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn files along with my Hi-Res textures.

I did ask about it in chat. But I feel this could help me or somebody else.

This is the screen I am looking at after transferring my entire hard drive to to new one. Steam downloaded my games, including Skyrim even though my Skyrim data folder had all the data files for Dawnguard, Hearthfire, Hi-Res and Dragonborn.

I have my copied files and have got rid of everything not steam related. I just have my DLCs and they include my hires files.

This is what it looks like.

But I still get this :

What could be causing this? How can I rectify? And in future when one is migrating to a new PC, how can this be avoided?

EDIT:::::::::::::::::
Removed everything : Here is how it looks :

Still the prompt as before Steam Error 15

(Side Note : I transferred all my Origin games just by copy/pasting. This really is not nice.)

EDIT 2 :::::::::::::::::::::

And one more EDIT

I tried getting game cache up to speed, but this is prompt I am getting. But I played the game, it was working, I could pick out my character and all, and escape from Helgen.

EDITED 3 :::::::::::::::::

How does one transfer a Steam game? A game that is heavily modded, will the backup a Steam Game option suffice?

texts: Is there any strategy for the Fidgeting Writer storyline?

texts:
Using a Tale of Terror you can start an object-based storyline: at every step, you trade one object for the next one, risking a failure and go back to start, or yield and get a reward.

The chances of success at every step seem to be ~60-70%, so since the steps are many, there aren't really many chances to complete all the storyline – I'm not sure how many steps there are, I'm currently at Deal with a Devil.

So, my question is: am I missing something and there is some way to increase the odds, or the only way to do that is to try again and again until you are lucky enough to get all successes till the end?

texts: I can't leave the Iron Canopy after defeating Silitha in Darksiders

texts:
I'm stuck in Darksiders and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it is caused by a bug...

I have defeated Silitha, jumped two levels down and left through the spiderweb door. I stand before this chasm through which I originally entered the Iron Canopy (by being picked up by a nasty creature in a cut scene). There are now two blue orbs above the chasm. I use my grappling hook to cross the chasm. After walking for a few feet, the same cut scene starts again and I am transported back to the Iron Canopy.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did I forget something? My current quest says "Bring Silitha's heart to Samael" so I guess I did everything I needed to do in the Iron Canopy.

I do have 15/20 trinkets, but yes, the five missing trinkets are all the hard ones.

Or are there still inherent bonuses for using certain weapon types with certain classes?


texts: Dark room Mob Spawner doesn't work, even on Superflat at daytime

texts:
I know there are a lot of questions about mob Spawner, and I have read most of them and have tried to fulfill the following condition:

Lit up all caves and possible spawning location within 128 block: I'm in Creative with Superflat world type, so there is no caves, and I've tried to set the world to always daytime, so there are no other possible spawn location other than my dark room, meanwhile if I set the world to cycle day and night, mobs spawn normally on the ground at night, changing the world to survival gives the same result
Mobs won't spawn 24 block from the player, and will freeze if spawned more than 32 block from the player: My dark room floor is located 24 blocks away and the roof is 33 block away from ground
You're on peaceful: No, the world difficulty is set to hardest setting, even zombies can break wooden doors
Use solid block for mobs to be able to spawn: It made entirely of cobblestone and completely dark inside

My dark room mob spawner is the typical 20x20 block (outside frame), with cross shaped flowing water to the center of the room, so the inside volume is 18x18x8 blocks hollowed out. Already tried to separate the 8 block height to two and three floor, but still no result.

I've tried AFK in the collection point on the ground straight below the center of the room for an hour, there's no single mob dropped, and when I fly there to check, there is no single mob either. What could possibly wrong? Please advise.

UPDATE
Apparently my mob spawner works if I were far away from the bottom of the spawner, not sure how many block away, probably 24 blocks, my current guess is that you have to be at 24-32 blocks away horizontally AND vertically, not in sphere radius.

PS: I've done quite a bit of reading, but still kinda new to Minecraft, if possible please use noob friendly words or something that I can look up on Wiki. Also pardon my English I'm not native.

However, I bought a lot of things on this account and I'm not sure if I can create a new NNID (or use my Wii U account) and still keep the games I purchased. I really hate having my region settings in a different location. I really don't want to buy hundreds of dollars worth of games again. Or at least can someone explain the formatting thing? I heard you can redownload the games even without the account but I don't know how that works.


texts:
Using functions and 1.14, I tried testing for a book and quill with nothing typed inside,

tag @a[tag=cleanbook] remove cleanbook

^ resetting the tag since it's an infinite looping function.

tag @a[tag=!cleanbook,nbt={Inventory:[{id:"minecraft:writable_book",tag:{pages:[""]}}]}] add cleanbook

So that when a player has a clean book, something happens, for example...

execute as @a[tag=cleanbook] run say @a =Clean book=

This makes it so that, when a player has an empty book, "=Clean book=" will be sent in chat, when having a book with anything typed inside it, "=Clean book=" will stop. It works perfectly, until...

When holding the book with cursor, no matter what's inside, it won't be updated and the player will never get a "cleanbook" tag (no chat messages at the left). What can I do to take into account a book being held that way, so that the "cleanbook" tag updates depending on it's content?

texts:
I'm using feed the beast and am currently trying to efficiently use the bees added by forestry, extra bees and thaumic bees.

I want to find all possible bee-breeds without looking them up, this however requires you to keep track of anything you breed/found, so you don't just randomly keep breeding in a circle between races.

I don't want to spoil all the different bees by looking them up on a wiki. Is there some in game way of keeping track in what combinations I have tried? Can I find out what kind of bees where the ancestors of a specific bee I end up with? The display in the apiarist chest is not exactly simple to understand. An apiarist database succesfully confused me more then it helped.
For example, I have a couple noble bees, but I have no idea how I got to them.

Is the only possibility that I have keeping a spreadsheet with what races I'm breeding together or is there a better in game way?


texts: What are the different personalities of Civilization V leaders?

texts:
I've noticed different leaders in Civilization V have different "personalities" - i.e. different ways of gameplay and different ways of conducting diplomacy. For example, Russia and Mongolia are very fond of expanding, while Gandhi emphasizes culture and happiness; the English build a lot of naval units; it seems like it's easy to convince Alexander to go to war; China is fond of science victory; etc.

These things are important to know when dealing with other civilizations and when planning long-term strategies. Can anyone provide a rough list of these "personalities", or redirect me to somewhere that lists them?

It seems whatever I try, I can't make a player learn a new position and stick with it. According to the guidelines posted elsewhere, I tried to make two young (18-23 y.o.) players with "Accomplished" on some position to learn it to the level of "natural". I did:

Set individual training for new position
Play each of the players on this new position (almost exclusively)
Be sure that they are pleased with their training schedule

However, what happens is that when I see that the level of position familiarity becomes "natural" and remove the individual training for new position, they lapse back into "accomplished" in a matter of weeks. I do play them both in the newly trained positions still, but that doesn't help. All I can do is start training for the new position again which will just take time from their training.

What am I doing wrong? How can I make players not forget the newly trained position?

So, while I was investigating the Museum of Witchcraft, I bumped into a traveling dog-seller who reluctantly sold me a dog.  I set up a second dog house in my backyard, watched as my adorable Dogmeat moved into it after I dismissed him in favor of Preston (1. Preston will give me a perk if I'm nice long enough, 2. Preston can wear Power Armor), and there they are, side-by-side in their little houses being dogs.

But it seems I can't get my new dog to come with me.  I can't equip it, or communicate with it.  (I'm super sad I can't equip it, Dogmeat wearing a bandana is ADORABLE and I wanted to give my bigger, meaner looking junkyard dog a Skull Bandana.)  I can't even name it - it's just Junkyard Dog.

Does the Junkyard Dog - or any other purchasable or recruitable dog besides Dogmeat - have a purpose, or do they just look good occupying my doghouses?

Often when using my indoor pool, I have to aim my rod quite shallow (so it doesn't hit the other end of the pool), and as a result my bob often floats above the water (i.e. it isn't in the water but floats about one block above it). Does having the bob float outside the water (in what appears to be a visual glitch) affect your ability to fish or is it simply just a client-side visual glitch?

In addition, would fishing so my rod hits the edge of the indoor pool after being cast (not landing on but sliding across the water so it hits the side) also affect my ability to fish?

texts: What are the secret achievements for Runner 2?

texts: While perusing my stats I noticed that there are several secret achievements in Runner 2.  Given the quirky off-beat nature of the game, I'm curious to know if they are something I will unlock as the game progresses, or if they are of the very obscure variety.  If they are part of the plot, please spoiler tag - and I'll find them when I get there.  If not, I don't mind finding out now so I can get started doing whatever weird thing it is.


texts: Tiny Death Star assignments and the galactic registry changes

texts:
I have been playing tiny Death Star for awhile and about two weeks ago I completed all the assignments on the imperial levels.  I thought maybe I needed to add more imperial levels to get new assignments, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Also, the galactic registry changed to normal bitizens and I lost the deep core bitizen.

I tried to find a solution to this problem:  one person said to delete the game and start over, but this was for Game Center issues not this one.  Someone else asked about this issue, but the question wasn't worded right I guess but one reply said it is an Apple problem at the end but it didn't say if the person found a solution.

I want to know if I should restart from beginning which is okay with me or is it just a programming issue with the operating systems on apple products and hope for a fix from Disney?


texts: Is there a way to convert a Skyrim mod into an SSE mod?

texts:
I heard that mods made for the original version of Skyrim don't work with SSE, and I was wondering if this was true and why that's the case. Is there a way to convert Oldrim mods to mods that can be used with Skyrim Special Edition easily? And could you tell me what the steps are?

I want to convert a monster replacer that replaces the wolf's textures and 3D model, but it's only available for the original Skyrim.


texts: Minecraft command block teleportion runaway

texts:
I am trying to make a moving airship in vanilla 1.16.1 minecraft. Before, you could just use /clone to move the ship and then teleport the players, but now if you have the ship clone itself the command blocks in the cloned ship also clone themselves, leading to a runaway reaction where the ship moves until it exits render distance. That would be nice if I also didn't want to be able to control the ship.
I've tried using /clone move, which runs until it exits render distance, then I switch to having one command block with /clone replace and then a second command block with /set air, and that setup runs a few times before it finally stops, which is closer to what I want but still out of control. I can get the specific commands if you need them.
What is the current way to make a controllable moving command block structure?


texts: Random slowdowns at random intervals of gameplay. How do I stop these?

texts:
I've been playing Alien: Isolation for about 10 hours, and loving it, but twice now the game randomly slows down to unplayable frame rates. Lags opening menus whether it be the map, pause menu, or even the movement detector. If I try to alt-tab out to kill the game in Task Manager the game won't even let me do that. The screen will go black, and I will get a frozen blue busy icon. The only way to get out of the game is to hard reset my computer which is a pain the butt, and probably not very good for it.

I can't think of what is causing it, because I get solid FPS for hours straight in the game, and then it just randomly starts to lag, and freeze. I'm almost positive nothing is overheating either.

How do I stop the random slowdowns, and freezing at random intervals? Thanks.

Here are my specifications.

Is there any way to prevent this from happening? A way to toggle the phone's ringer would be nice.


texts: Is there a way to force generated soldiers to always be drawn from my character pool?

So the character pool feature in XCOM 2 is really cool, since it lets you store a bunch of soldiers which will then be used to populate the random recruits you see.

Is such a thing possible?

texts: Is there a way to tell which Stone of Barenziah is found where?

texts:
I'm trying to finish the "No Stone Unturned" quest and have so far found 22 of the 24 stones.
Since I have yet to purchase Proudspire Manor and I haven't been in there by any other means I know where to find at least on of the two remaining stones.

I picked up 9 of the stones during other quests, but have not recorded their location myself so I used the UESP list found in the accepted answer in the question Where are all the Stones of Barenziah located? (No Stone Unturned) to try and track the others.

Having been to all the locations (except Proudspire Manor) on the list I am still short one stone.
I expected to find it in the Thalmor Embassy but I cannot enter it.
This should be fixed with patch 1.4 but I cannot find it in the Reeking Cave either.

So is there a way to tell which Stone of Barenziah in your inventory is found where so I either have some closure on this?
Note that I play the game on the XBox so I have no access to game data or the in-game console.

I don't want to deny the request, since they may be trying to contact me for completely legitimate reasons. (Item trading, mutual friend, etc.)

Steam doesn't allow messaging users who aren't on your friend list, so I end up having to accept their request just so I can ask them why they friended me.

I'd like to connect it to another TV(1080i) via HDMI and to a small home audio system (using a 3.5mm stereo plug or RCA plugs). I also have USB speakers I could use.

Ideally I'd like to be able to easily switch between the two TVs without having to unplug/ re-plug any leads. My PS3 is the first generation premium model.

What would be the easiest/ recommended way of going about this?

I live in New Zealand so have limited access to parts.


texts: How can I clear Steam achievements for Portal 2?

texts:
My brother has played Portal 2 on my account and got a decent chunk of the achievements without specifically trying for them.  Shamefully, I haven't yet played it, but I want to of course.  I really enjoyed getting all the achievements in the first game and want to try for them in the second, but I want the regular Steam alerts to show up when I get one so that I know for sure that I got it.  Naturally, this won't happen for any achievements that my brother already got.

Thus my question: Can I clear Steam achievements (set them all back to unachieved), so that I'll get alerts and be able to track them properly?  I know I can clear the game progress that's saved via Steam Cloud but I don't want to do that since it would destroy my brother's progress, and I know there are some issues syncing the achievements between the game and Steam anyways.

texts: Is it possible to use my PS Vita as additional PS3 controller?

texts:
As the title states: can I register my PS vita as an additional controller to an PS3 system? I want to play split-screen games without buying a new controller.

I've already searched around the web. All I found were some news entries that stated some people managed to get this to work, but they did not mention how this can be achieved.

I've also tried to connect to the PS3 system using remote play and add the other controllers, but this did not work either, because the screen just says that my Vita is connected using remote play. "Cross Play" is also not what I am looking for. I just want to use my Vita like a traditional controller.

So is this possible?

Edit:

Just to make some things clear: I know about the features "Remote Play" and "Cross Play", but they are not what I am looking for, since they are all serving different purposes.

I'm a researcher working on improving video quality in various contexts. For my current problem, I need to collect videos which have both RGB data as well as depth data.

Games can be on any platform: PC games, mobile games or VR games.
In short, I want to record gameplay but with additional information such as depth map and camera pose.


texts: VIP stuck in the back of a van? (Council Extraction Mission)

During a small enemy engagement a nearby van was destroyed and some of its walls - leaving it now accessible. Problem is that during this enemy encounter my VIP panicked and ran into the back of this van...problem is that now he's stuck and can't get out.

Does anyone know of a method by which I can get him down from his elevated position?

TBH it does seem pretty ridiculous that a VIP can't even get down from a van...anyhow I've killed all hostiles (at great expense of life) so I really don't want to lose this VIP over something as silly as this.

texts: Can I keep winning games after the Holiday Gift Pile promotion is over?

texts:
As part of the Steam Holiday Sale, we've all been earning achievements that grant us coal, coupons, and (rarely) free games.  There's been more than one achievement that I've put off due to its complexity and the amount of free time I have left.

However, today I noticed the following on the Gift Pile achievement list:

  If you unlock an achievement on or after 12/31 your prize will be a free Valve game, a coupon toward a Valve game, or Holiday Coal.

Does this mean that even after the contest ends today, I can still get free coupons or games for getting achievements in these games?  What about achievements that require specific holiday scenarios or unlocks in order to work?  What use is Holiday Coal after the contest ends?  It is only for crafting?

It may be possible to test this in an hour or two (after the contest closes, and assuming that Valve rolls out the end-of-contest update on time) but has there been any modification to the rules or any official word on what these achievements mean after the end of the contest?


texts: Fullscreen games blacking the screen and running on second monitor

texts:
It all started today, it had not happened to me before. Whenever I launch a game which is set to work fullscreen from startup, the game loads a couple frames in my primary monitor before freezing on it and switching the graphics/display to the second monitor.

If I start the game on the second monitor, the same happens.
The thing is that the game only detects input in the first monitor, as if the game was displaying on it.

I'm using Windows 10 Home, latest update if I had to guess because it always updates automatically.

Ask me anything if you want to know anything else!


texts: How to tell scientist from pilot from engineer?

texts:
I know that when you pick kerbals for a mission it tells you what their role is, but I didn't even pay attention to who was placed on my ships when I launched, and now I have a space station with 5 kerbals with unknown roles!

Is there a way to tell what their roles are? I sent some of them to Minmus, and as soon as I completed my intercept burn I saw a message flash on the screen telling me I have no pilots aboard, so my SAS is disabled. I thought it wouldn't be a big problem, as this shuttle craft is easy to control, but EVERYTHING shut down! No SAS, no main engine, no RCS, nothing! They were on the way to deep space in a rock!

I loaded my quicksave and tried to find a pilot to go on this mission, but realized there is NO WAY to know who does what! This is unacceptable. To require roles (especially in sandbox mode) and not identify the kerbals' role is just ridiculous! I now have 5 useless kerbals in a space station orbiting the Mun, unless someone can tell me how to identify roles.

Squad, you need to have different uniforms for different roles, or at the very least, have the role show up when you right click!! This is asinine!

            Base: 99999
        }
    ],
    Offers: {
        Recipes: [
            {
                buy: {
                    id: "record_13",
                    Count: 1
                },
                buyB: {
                    id: "skull",
                    Count: 1,
                    Damage: 1
                },
                maxUses: 9999999,
                sell: {
                    id: "stone",
                    Count: null
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

And you can see it says "stone" (null).

Now I want to change it so that I can trade from the disc and the skull (that are already there) into this custom potion:

/give @p potion 1 16385 {CustomPotionEffects:[{Id:3,Amplifier:0,Duration:60},{Id:7,Amplifier:0,Duration:60},{Id:9,Amplifier:0,Duration:120},{Id:10,Amplifier:0,Duration:60},{Id:14,Amplifier:0,Duration:20},{Id:15,Amplifier:0,Duration:140},{Id:16,Amplifier:0,Duration:600},{Id:17,Amplifier:500,Duration:600},{Id:18,Amplifier:9,Duration:600},{Id:19,Amplifier:100,Duration:600},{Id:20,Amplifier:100,Duration:200},{Id:23,Amplifier:500,Duration:600}],display:{Name:"Poison",Lore:["Poisons anyone it is used to.","The only way to survive is to drink milk in seconds."]}}

texts: What items are worth selling, vending, or auctioning?

texts:
How does this question differ from What items are worth picking up? That question is more about what items are worth keeping between home-runs, so to speak. My question is more about longer term storage and selling.

In Path of Exile, there's no gold (piece) economy. It is based on currency items which each have their own use and their prices are relative. It's a barter economy. The other integral half of the economy is combat items: weapons, armour, jewelry, maps, and skill gems.

Among what determines a weapon's or armour's worth are: sockets, links, item-level, and the mods that are on it. I want to focus on the mods. There are two types of mods, implicit and affixes. Implicit mods always come with a certain weapon type. The more important type of mod are affixes.
Mundane (non-magic) items are items without affixes. Affixes are split into two categories: prefixes or suffixes. A magic (indigo) item can have up to one prefix and suffix. More than that and it becomes a rare (yellow) item.

Now, you may say that what determines an item's worth is the mods that you're looking for, which can vary greatly. I believe that it doesn't vary greatly. While the mods that are desired differ based on build, there are certain sets of mods that are desired on each individual item (weapon, jewelry, and armour pieces (chest, helmet, gloves, and boots)). The most-easily-notable universally-desired sets are Increased Item Rarity + Increased Item Quantity (A.K.A. "Magic Find") and elemental resistances + increased armour/evasion/energy shield. I could name maybe a few more, but I'll leave the rest to the answerer.

What determines whether an item is worth selling on the market, vending to an NPC, or auctioning (particularly, in terms of mods/affixes)?

I know it's because the PSX does not use sprites likes other old system but everything is a polygon. And testing with the openGL plug-in/driver, and the small FPS UI the Fi toggle button, is able to fix half of those lines but not all.

So, anyone knows how to fix this issue and what mean the Fi field?

What is this mod called? Both syndicate and the diamond minecart.

It is a mod that helps you teleport to places quickly with "waypoints".

The menu looks like this:


texts: Which character attribute affects staff bolt attack?

texts:
In Darkfall: Unholy Wars, a character has base attributes (str / dex / int / wis). Each serve a clear purpose as it relates to "primary role stat" and how it affects an attack.

Now melee and ranged apply seemingly to, melee weapons and missile weapons (bows / thrown)

But what is not clear is what stat affects the "Staff Bolt" function of staffs. Which of the attributes affect this attack?


texts: What are the categories of League of Legends champions?

texts: I'm thinking about picking up LoL, but my only experience with the game is briefly watching friends play. Could someone quickly/simply categorize the champions in the game? My understanding is that there are many (a growing number) of champions, but can champions be categorized by types?


texts: Improvement values are not correct in Skyrim

texts: According to this source and many others, with smithing skill at level 100 and all the smithing perks, I should be able to improve my armor by 20 points, but what I discovered is that it's not correct for me. For example Deadric Boots with 26 armor(which also doesn't match the wiki, it should be 18, and I don't have any perks in Heavy Armor) the improvement is to 42, so it's 16 points. I don't have any clothes, gear or active magical effect on me. Turned off all mods and it's still the same. What should I do?


texts: How do you make command block output not show up in the console?

texts:
Context:
If you thought this (a picture) was annoying, wait til' you see this unsurpressable mess:

Question:
How do I stop command blocks outputting to the console?
Also, the following command does not work:
/gamerule commandBlockOutput false

It only suppresses the messages sent to the chat, as demonstrated by the screenshot in the link.
Therefore, it is not an acceptable answer. Unless you can prove me wrong.


texts: I'm currently in Milla's mind trying to earn my learners permit for levitation. In her dance club are three rings that I'm supposed to activate. Jumping through them starts them turning, but I'm unable to get through all three at one time and end up falling back to the bottom, and they only spin for a short period of time. Am I missing something obvious, or is there a trick to getting them all turning at one time?


texts: What are the best fishing locations on the new farm layouts?

texts:
According to the official wiki certain locations in the game provide higher quality fish than others. Specifically, tiles far from land, near/in dark water, and near logs provide better results. On the new fishing based farm layout, what are the best locations, if any?

What about fishing spots on the other new layouts that have a decent amount of water (wilderness farm and maybe forest farm)?


texts: How is your rank determined in the campaign?

texts:
Like Advanced Wars, after every mission in the campaign you are given a letter grade from E to S. Advanced Wars has a relatively simple formula for calculating points and rank, which can be cheesed (see below). The number of units defeated, lost, and turns taken is also displayed, so presumably those are the factors. According to Wargroove's campaign editor, there is a hidden par turn count for each map, like Advanced Wars. How exactly does the other two factor affect the rank calculated by the game?

In Advanced Wars, Speed decreases for every day over the hidden par count, Power is given by the max number of units destroyed in a single turn as a percentage of the total number of units created by the enemy, and Technique requires you to not lose more than 20% of your total units. This means these numbers can be cheesed, for example by infantry HQ rush or by creating infantry over the last few turns to pad out units lost.


texts: On Deity, is it possible to get past turn 50 without Montezuma attacking you?

texts:
It appears as though despite not even being close to him, he decides to attack me around turn 35 or so every game. The earliest that I've ever been attacked is turn 19.

My military is always awful. I make sure that I never settle anywhere near him. But he still is happy to travel 20+ tiles and pass another civilization to find me.

Is deleting him a possibility?

(If someone can suggest which leaders are peaceful, that would be helpful also. Maybe I could just create a game with all peaceful leaders).
