texts: How to keep track of objectives in X3: Reunion

texts: I recently picked up X3: Reunion and have been enjoying it. However with the lack of a proper tutorial most of my time has been spent figuring things out. I know the game is rather huge and allows you to go off on your own so one thing I'm afraid of is losing track of plot objectives. I know I usually get a message telling me where to go but it seems like I'm getting lots of messages in the beginning and I'm worried about losing it if I go off on my own or take a long break between gaming sessions. Is there a menu or something that keeps track of current mission objectives? I didn't see one during my beginning missions.

texts: How can I create a copy of an entity using command blocks?

texts:
More specifically, say there's a pile of items on the ground, for instance after someone dies, and I want to create an exact copy of each of those items (NBT tags and all), but in a different (specific) location.  How would I go about doing that?

Taking the naive approach, the math gets pretty horrifying pretty quickly.  For instance, adding a command block for every combination of every enchantment on every item that can hold those enchantments quickly becomes unmanageable.  For instance, there are 6 enchantments that can be applied to every type of armour, there are 5 armour grades, 4 armor pieces at each grade, and at least 3 enchantment levels (with default enchanting) for these enchantments.  That alone would take 720 command blocks (considering I need 2 command blocks to do the clone), to say nothing of the various combinations of enchantments that can be had within those 6, plus other enchantments available to individual armour pieces, and durability (oh god, the durability) of the items.  Obviously, writing thousands (millions?) of command blocks with testfor @e[type=Item] {NBT:"some long and nested NBT tag} and summon Item x y z {NBT:"the same long and nested NBT tag} isn't feasible (and won't even produce the correct result).  No, I need another way.

I've been through the commands page on the Minecraft wiki, and nothing jumped out at me.  The closest command I could see is the clone command, but that only works on blocks and tile entities (i.e. chests, furnaces, and the like).  Also, I know I can edit the NBT data directly, but the point is to be able to do this while the game is running.

texts: Arx Fatalis/Arx Liberatis Sequence Breaking?

texts:
Forgive the slew of colloquialisms and non-specific descriptors that will plague the discussion to follow.

First off, I am not

Very familiar with Arx Fatalis and how it works (and the updated for Windows-8 Arx Libertatis freeware)
Big on power/metagaming
Looking to break the game/deal with issues that come with it.

Now, Arx Fatalis is a game I just bought on Steam a couple days ago. It ran really weird, so I found the sort of unoffical patch for newer computers "Arx Libertatis" so that it would run smoothly. Basically, I am level four, haven't really taken the time to truly specialize in any fields, and am doing what I assume is the main quest. (I am investigating that guy who was murdered by cultists, the little girl was kidnapped and sacrificed because I failed to save her, etc.)

In that particular area, I came across a purple force field, which I assume Dispel Field will get rid of, I haven't actually tested it yet, but I was working on it. At that point, I noticed that there was an opportunity for platforming around the area, which I assumed may lead to some hidden goodies.

Here is the problem:

It lead me into a secret backdoor area into that weird pyramid thing full of snake people that said I wasn't ready to enter yet. I got in, opened the door (I was apparently in some form of treasure room that triggers hostility), died, tried again, THIS TIME WITH AN INVISIBILITY POTION. With that, I got into some form of throne room without being attacked, and spoke to a  red snake lady. Now my character is talking about a weapon called Zohark and killing this Akbaa fella and all this other crazy stuff I'm pretty sure I shouldn't know about yet.

So... does this break the game? I was under the impression that the game was very non-linear. I don't know what I'm supposed to do since the girl I was supposed to save and the demon and the cultists are dead. I found what I assume is another sequence break with some giant black beast that is unfightable, and very difficult to outrun, at which point I totally ditched the area because it scared me shitless.

I don't want to cause awkward holes in the games plot and skip/have to re-do anything or anything crazy. I mean, I already totally emptied that little treasure area. I'm just curious why they'd make the area so easily accessible if it skips an unknown portion of the plotline. I didn't 'metagame' or break anything, I just leaped up a clearly intentional alternate pathway, and through a clearly intentional hole in the pyramid thingy's side. Heck, there were even traps and baddies along the pathway. Is this just poor game design? I love the game so far.

I'm probably going to reload to before I talked to the snake lady. I'm just curious how people new to the game should go about this kind of thing.

texts: Steam Cloud with two Steam accounts on one Windows account

texts:
My boyfriend and I both play most of our games through Steam. I recently wanted to play a game that we both own on his desktop, logged into his Windows account, but using my Steam account and getting my save file from the Steam Cloud.

When I started up the game, however, the Cloud gave me two options:

Sync the Cloud to this computer and the current save file (ie my  boyfriend's account save file); or
Sync the computer's save file to the Cloud and thus erase my personal save file.

Is it in any way possible for two accounts to use the Cloud independently on one Windows account?

Update

Using multiple accounts seems the be the obvious answer here, but while it works for some games which store save files in a sane way (in user directories), a lot of Steam games have their files in a global location in Steamapps.


texts:
The box delivery points are a convenient way to get around without the time and expense of a helicopter deployment. However, they tend to put you right on top of an enemy stronghold. You're usually in vision range of a guard patrol, and for some delivery points, you're completely surrounded.

How do you deal with that? Dive out of the box and crawl away while the enemy isn't looking? Just run for it? Have your buddy distract or eliminate the guards so you can get away unnoticed? I haven't tried all my ideas, but the attempts I've made so far have all been a lot slower or a lot riskier than I'd like.

texts: Is STAB halved for dual-type Pokemon? (and also the damage due to type effectiveness)

texts:
I have seen discussion both ways: for example, for an Exeggutor, it is Grass/Psychic type, so, will the STAB make it 25% more powerful or just 12.5% more powerful, since Solar Beam is a Grass type move but Exeggutor is both Grass and Psychic type?

For example, Pokemon Go Database would list Exeggutor's Solar Beam as 25% STAB, when Exeggutor is only half Grass type.  I also have heard that if the Pokemon is dual-type, then the effect is divided by two.

On the other hand, what if it is a Psychic attack done towards this Exeggutor, and it is "not very effective"? Is it not effective just as if the attack is done to a pure Psychic Pokemon (like Hypno), or is it just half not-effective?

(please back up your answer with facts, reference, or experiences).

It seems to depends on what starting orientation the object has when picked up as to which axis it rotates on.

I would like to know if there is any way (button or otherwise) to switch rotation axis modes whilst manipulating an object. I have looked in the controls and all the settings and can't see anything that affects this.

texts:
Are you sure you want to exit the crafting station?

Yes I am sure, there are literally no consequences for me exiting, I can just enter it again.

Fallout 4 asks for a lot of confirmation.
Exiting crafting stations, before scrapping items and several other places.
This really bugs me.
It bugged me in Skyrim and crafting wasn't as much a core part of gameplay as it is in the latest Fallout.

The worst is when it asked for confirmation on actions that have no consequences like leaving a workbench. To a lesser extent I am annoyed by things like asking if I am sure I want to Scrap this broken chair (Particularly after I have scrapped every other broken chair I have seen).

I am trying to work out how to turn it off.

I can't find anything in the ingame Options. I've only had a short look at the .ini config options but can't find anything there either.
I'm not sure if there are mods that can fix this.

One thing that makes it less annoying is that you can close them with E rather than Enter. But still annoying.

When scraping I end up two finger pressing R and E more or less at same time.

texts:
I've grown fondness for Philippa Eilhart during the story of Witcher 2 and so naturally I want to help her or at least encounter her in Witcher 3.

Spoilers, beware!

  I'm at the point where Radovid asks me to find Philippa Eilhart. I've recovered the crystal, killed the mage hunters outside her hideout, and now face the decision whether to give it to Radovid. Judging by the journal entry and Geralt's monologue, there should be an option to ask Triss or some other sorceress to study it and hopefully provide clues regarding Philippa's whereabouts, yet Triss has already departed to Kaer Morhen after helped her save those in hiding, and the game doesn't leave any obvious clues as to whom to take it to. Does it mean I've lost the option to find her without Radovid? Can I find Philippa if I give the crystal to Radovid and still save her? (I've been wanting to save her and murder that sucker with Dijkstra.) Can I find her if I withhold the crystal?

.

  I've seen a short video of a fight with Philippa which can end by Geralt saving her and then allowing Triss to help her (they go somewhere through a portal), so it should be possible. The only thing I don't know is whether the game is so badly made that this option is no more without any indication whatsoever or whether it's the result of another quest later.

Unfortunately, I've done a lot of quests since helping Triss to escape so I'm asking this before I revert to an old save. Thanks!

Update:

  I've found another video of the quest in question (Redania's Most Wanted) and just as I suspected, the game gives Geralt the option to take the crystal to Triss before Radovid so I indeed missed it (I think it's wrong not to give even the slightest warning). However, it doesn't show whether the quest ends at that point or not. If it does, the fight and subsequent story I've mentioned clearly take place later on.

Update 2:

  I've finally found another video which shows that despite talking to Triss and then Radovid, the quest ends there, hence the events depicted in the first video must take place later on. Whether the presence of Triss during this quest affects the next one is still uncertain, though. I hope I'll be able to see that. :-)

Yes, this much effort for one fictive Philippa Eilhart. I really like her, lol.

texts: How to play Dark Souls with an Xbox controller on PC?

texts:
I can't seem to find a reference for all the mechanics of Dark Souls as played on PC (specifically Prepare to Die Edition on Steam in case that makes a difference). These are the controls I'm aware of:

Moving Left stick moves the player with two different speeds: walking and running
Moving Right stick moves the camera
Clicking Right stick centers the camera behind the player
Start opens the in-game menu for items etc.
Left bumper raises the shield
Left trigger performs a shield attack (for want of a better description)
Right bumper:

performs a regular attack when moving normally
performs a down stab when falling(?)

Right trigger performs a power attack
D-pad cycles between alternative items for that slot as defined in the equipment menu
A activates looting, bonfires, player comments etc.
Holding B starts the character sprinting
Tapping B:

jumps backward if standing still
rolls in the direction of movement if already walking or running
jumps in the direction of movement if running

X uses the item in the bottom slot
Y toggles two-handed weapon use
Back opens the gestures menu

Inside the in-game menu:

A enters menus or selects an item
B exits menus
X changes the display of items
Y unequips an item

Some of the actions which are unclear/unknown:

Is it possible to do a stand-still forward jump as far as the sprint jump?
Are there variants on the down stab? For example one which does more damage but takes more stamina?
Is it possible to do some sort of round swing with a sword to hit multiple enemies?
Is there an upward stab for better hitting bosses?
Is it possible to aim the crossbow?
Does clicking Left stick do anything?
Is it possible to lock on an enemy with this controller?
How do you kick?
How do you reliably use the Left trigger to bash the enemy shield out of the way? It only seems to work very rarely.
How do you aim thrown projectiles?

texts: Where should I abuse my lead as midlaner?

texts:
I often get ahead when playing a control mage such as Veigar, Xerath or Morgana. With the first two I usually don't get a huge lead, but it's enough to win in the long shot with my damage.
However as Morgana I'm usually getting far ahead over my laner. Meaning I kill him and the jungler upon a gank. But usually my lead there doesn't transition into ending the game, it mostly ends in a loss, since Morgana scales a bit off.
Given I had fb on the tower in mid, all my lanes and jungler are even or a bit on the loosing side, how can I abuse my lead as control mage to close out a game? Notice I'm Gold V, there is room for imporvement. Where am I supposed to be and how can I figure it out in game?
I usually think of Nexus > Inib > Tier 3 > Nash > Tier 2 > Drake > Tier 1 > consistent CS > Kill


texts: Strategy to destroy the two red monsters at the end of Ghosts 'n Goblins?

texts:
At the final level of Ghosts 'n Goblins, the only weapon you can finish the level with is the shield.  I have not been able to destroy the two red monsters at the end.  If I get close enough to hit them with the shield, they swoop down and kill me.  Even if I just stay far away, they still swoop down and kill me.

What is a good strategy to destroy the two red monsters?  I am playing the arcade game, not the NES port.

I recently purchased Neon Chrome, and got through several floors without dying. Is there any way to save my game and return to it later?

There's a "Disconnect" option from the menu, that seems equivalent to giving up (die and quit).


texts: Will assisted drones follow a guarding drone into a fight?

texts:
It is possible to instruct your drones in EVE to 'guard' or 'assist' players when in a fleet. I've noticed that when you set drones to guard individual players in your fleet, only the drone that is currently guarding the player that is attacked will engage the enemy attacking that player.

If I were to set one of each of my drones to 'guard' an individual in my fleet, and then each player in my fleet set their drones to 'assist' me, would all drones assisted to me attack if one of my drones engaged an enemy?


texts: How exactly do shields work in Elite: Dangerous

texts:
There is a follow up question: How exactly does armour and damage work?

How do shields work in Elite: Dangerous?
(I realise that this is several interconnected questions)

What affects raw shield strength?
How much stronger are prismatic shields?
What are bi-weave shields, are they worth it?
How can I see my exact shield strength?
What affects shield recharge rate?
How does power management affect shields?
Do different ships get different recharge rates?
Exactly how long do you have to wait until shields come back up?
What about shield cell banks or shield boosters?
What difference do the number of pips in SYS make?


texts: What do the medal icons at the top of the catch screen mean?

texts:
So, maybe these have always been there, but I just noticed that at the top of my catch screen, I briefly see tiny icons that look like the medals.
What purpose do they serve (other than identifying which categories the pokemon would fall into)?

I tried clicking on them, but nothing happened. I just wondered if I might be missing out on something?

texts: Is all of the 4GB of internal memory on a basic Xbox 360 Slim model usable?

texts:
On the newer Xbox 360 Slim models the base 4GB internal memory version ($199), is the full 4GB of internal memory usable, or is some of it partitioned for other uses like the dashboard software, etc.? If it's not all usable, how much is left over for use for profiles, save games and other items?

I know that on my older 20GB hard drive model, only about 13-14GB of space were actually usable after formatting and dashboard software and whatnot.


texts: ark - What happens with base on dino when it dies

texts:
I can't seem to find an answer to this (probably because words base, dino and die are too common).

So... let's say you get a bronto, or a quetz, or a pleis, or a para, etc. You build platform, and on that platform you build a base. Let's say metal. And a vault inside for the fun of it. What happens if the bronto/quetz/para/whatever dies? Since the base is on bronto/(list of creatures here) saddle... it just vanishes?


texts: Is it possible to find the Jewel of Dirgest?

texts:
Covetous Shen is looking for a particular jewel:

  The jewel contains a... powerful creature named Dirgest. He was trapped within it for terrible crimes against his people. [...] Now a flaw has developed in the jewel. Through it, Dirgest can consume the holder's life. I intend to seal his prison, trapping him in it forever.

Most of the other follower/artisan quests come to some kind of resolution (even if it is pretty much non-interactive and tangential to the game), but I don't remember this one ever going anywhere.  Is there more dialog with Shen that I haven't seen where he achieves his goal?

If this isn't resolved through dialog, does Dirgest's jewel exist within the game?  If so, what happens if you manage to find it?  Is Dirgest at all important in the overall lore of the series, or is he just a macguffin for Shen to be seeking?


texts: Can I sign into two Steam accounts on the same PC?

texts: I have two Steam accounts with a variety of games. One was when I was younger that I lost access to and recently got back and the other is one I've used until now. Potentially, is there anyway to download Steam to one hard drive and log into one account there and then download Steam again to a different hard drive and sign into my other account on that one? I just really hate signing out and signing back in every time I want to play something else.


texts: Can I solve "Berengar's blade" without talking to Vesimir just before the battle at Kaer Moren?

texts:
I am at Kaer Moren after finding Ciri before the battle.

Inside Kaer Moren, I found a chest whose loot started "Berengar's blade". After reading Berengar's notes, it tells me to talk to Vesemir.

Yet talking to him does not work as it's only pre-battle talks. (Geralt only tells Vesemir that he seems to be in a good mood, no real interaction happening.)

When I progress to start the actual battle, the quest fails immediately. So while this quest seems to be glitched, I wonder:

Is there a way to solve this quest without talking to Vesemir so to only have this part of the quest fail and not its entirely?


texts: Can I slow down my orbit enough to land on Eve?

texts:
I'm playing KSP. I've successfully gotten a craft in circular orbit around Eve about 100,000 meters up for the first time (I'm a noob). I'd like to land on Eve, however when I try to adjust my orbit into the planet, I'm going way to fast. Over 3200 m/s.

My question is actually rather simple: Is it possible for me to slow down enough to land, and if so how can I slow down?

My resources are as follows:

1 atomic rocket motor
4 electric propulsion engines
2 Mk2 radial parchutes and 1 top parachute
2155 Xenon Gas
470 liquid fuel
1 poor Kerbal who might be stuck in orbit for the rest of her life

This is my craft:

Is there something I'm missing to enable this?  I thought it would have been simpler.

texts: Does the level of DLC missions adjust to my current level?

texts:
I have been playing Bordelands 2 for the last 2 weeks, and I am now at lvl 28 and almost finished the main story line. I also bought the season pass together with the game, and they are downloaded already to my console.

At this point I had a lot of stuff on my radar, I have a few new side missions, there is the main story to finish, and there are the DLC's.

Today I thought before going on with the normal game, let me check out the dlc's, so I accepted the first missions. Later on I decided to finish the main story first, and then have some fun with the DLC's, because they look pretty cool.

Now my main question is this. I started the DLC's and it says that they are lvl 26-28, did I just screw that up. Maybe when I come back to the dlc's I will be close to lvl 40, but the missions in the dlc's are lvl 28, that won't be any fun.

Will the lvl of the dlc mission adjust to my lvl, or did I just cap it at 28.


texts: My car got punted into a shop. Can I still get back into it?

texts:
During an early mission in the game, you have to customize a car and get all dressed up. So I did. Dropped a not-insignificant amount of money making my ride topless and purple, as well as myself. Except, not so topless, but just as purple. As soon as I'm done, some brute comes along and uses my car as a bowling ball against me while I'm still in the shop.

After the fighting's done, I go to get my car and the shop menus won't let me! The owner seems to want to keep my car while selling me more clothes...

Is there a way to free my car? I don't seem to be able to nudge it, and there's no room to get another vehicle behind it. This won't be the first time I left a vehicle behind thanks to this, but it will be the most expensive one yet!


texts: How can I reduce the amount of particle effects on the screen?

I play TF2 on a laptop and I get about 15-20 fps out of it. It's very inconsistent however, and it can jump to 60 in one sitting, then drop to 1 extremely quickly.

I know that there are a lot of particle effects within TF2 (Healing, bullets, fire, unusuals, etc.).  Are there any settings in-game and modifiable by configs that can give me the minimum particles needed to run TF2, yet somehow increasing performance?

texts: What can a new player do in a high level area?

Possible Duplicate:
  Best way to play as low level in the city full of enemy?

I'm a new player on Ingress. I'm currently level 1, with quite a long way to go to level 2 (1500/10000). Where I live all the portals seem to have level 4+ resonators on them, and all fully shielded. That means I do very little damage to them (when I tried on one I was doing 1% damage, which I believe is potentially rounded up).

As a new player is there anything I can do to practically help the game in my area or do I just need to continue the relatively tedious job of hacking until I get to a higher level where I have weapons that can actually have a significant effect... There sadly don't seem to be any of our resonators destroyed ever that I could replace...

Even teaming up with other players doesn't seem worthwhile because I have nothing I can contribute to a team... Even in a group my damage is likely to be insignificant and if we can neutralise any enemy portals they'll want to be deploying higher level resonators than I have available...

So I guess the question is what can a noob do in a high level area?

N.B. This isn't just a question about how to level up quickly since there are a few others on that subject. Its focussed on how I can contribute at a low level. Though I appreciate the answer may be to level up as fast as possible. :)

I've found other websites that say its just like that, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Both games are good, though I love 1.6 better.

One thing ruins all the gameplay. Non-steam players (more than 70% of them are cheating.)
They can't be banned, can't be checked.

Is there a way to find STEAM ONLY servers? Original, non-cracked, with VAC... I mean.
I have tried Xfire, Game-arena, with not much luck. (Only searching for "Steam" in the name of the servers.)

I would appreciate any ideas!

I am currently power 135 and Eorforwine is recommended 90. However when I try and battle her she easily defeats me.
I am using a heavy shield and axe setup, and trying to dodge her attacks and then hit her. However I am finding that she either blocks me with the shield and then hits me twice which takes away half my health.
If I try and use range and shoot her with arrows she throws poison bombs at me which I cannot dodge out of the way of because the radius is so big, and she throws three in quick succession.
Whilst I am trying to then close the distance she drinks a healing potion.
What techniques can I use to defeat this Order Zealot?

On Nirn (or at the very least in Tamriel), soul gems seem to be extremely common as they're found in almost any shop anywhere.

As I remember, the only source of new soul gems is the geode mining nodes in Blackreach.

How come there are so many in circulation if they're only found in such remote locations (and seeing how they're destroyed upon use)?

Official quotes and sources much appreciated

texts:
In Golden Sun: The Lost Age I've came across 2 optional bosses

The first called Sentinel I encountered in the cave south of the Sea of Time Islet, the one the turtle takes you to and I had to use Teleport to reach deeper into the cave. It called itself the Guardian of Wind and I got the Catastrophe summon after I beat it
The second called Star Magician I encountered in Treasure Island where I fought it and 4 balls which it kept summoning as I destroyed them. It called itself the Guardian of Water and I got the Azul summon after I beat it

Since there is 4 Elements in the game and the 2 summons I got majored with the Djinn of the element of their guardian I thought maybe there was 2 more that I may have missed somewhere which also guard summons.

So is there a Guardian of Fire and Guardian of Earth somewhere in Golden Sun: The Lost Age?

texts: Why does this buffered input result in an up smash?

texts:
I've started to notice that when I attempt to go from grounded to jump > up air quickly, my character performs an up smash instead. I started experimenting to try to narrow down the source of the problem and I think it has something to do with input buffering. When I'm holding up on the control stick and I'm just finishing an attack (such as up tilt), pressing X immediately followed by A frequently results in an up smash, instead of my character jumping and performing an up air like I expect.

Now, I would understand my character not jumping if my jump press was too early for the buffer, but then I would expect another up tilt because I have already been holding the control stick up for some time (I didn't just "smash" it up as is required for a "smash" attack) and if I wasn't buffering this combination (standing still, holding up, push A) the result would obviously be an up tilt.

Why does my buffered input result in an up smash?

Edit: Not that it should matter, but I did this testing on the 3DS version of the game.


texts: AOE 2 (HD) - AI will not move in formation

texts:
I recently purchased Age of Empires 2 (HD), and perhaps the first thing I noticed which is different to the original disk game, is that the AI seems incapable of mobilising troops in formation as the player can.

This makes for a very poor attack as the AI forces reach my defences in a 'trickle', making them extremely easy too deal with.

My questions are:

Is this an isolated problem? As I have found no other mention of this
online.
How could this possibly be fixed?

Platform data (If for whatever reason relevant):

texts:
I just started playing Nioh and reached the blacksmith for the first time. I now realize there is a whole crafting component in the game that I didn't know about. Before that, I would just donate all my extra loot at the shrines to get some Amarita.

At this point, the options are

Sell all the loot for coins
Disassemble loot in crafting components
Donate look to shrines for Amarita

What would be the best thing to do with loot? I feel like Amarita and coins can be obtained just by killing enemies, while crafting components can just be amassed by breaking down loot. It seems though that everything that can be crafted by the blacksmith seems like crap at the moment.


texts: How to use ^^^ coordinate systems for motion nbt

texts:
Since we can use ^ ^ ^ for relative coordinates with 1.13 like

/execute as Asaf31214 run summon lightning_bolt ^ ^ ^10

(Summons a lightning at 10 blocks from me to the direction I look. By the way, first part is how many blocks to left, second is up and third is how far from you, if you see this function for first time. It is just like cylindrical coordinates at science.)

I tried to write a command that throws a TNT out of me to the direction i want. It was supposed to be:

/summon tnt ^ ^1 ^10 //1 block up and 10 block forward// {Fuse:50,Motion[^0,^1,^10]}

if I don't use ^ it will throw the TNT to constant x direction. But it gives an error if I use it with new ^ coordinate system.

Can you explain me how to do this? I guess this coordinate system isn't fully useful yet since it is brand new, and this can be impossible for now.

texts:
I've heard rumors that if you keep Vette's shock collar on, and shock her every chance you get, then she will eventually become twisted and start to prefer the dark side dialogue choices that she normally dislikes.  Can anyone confirm if this is true?

In my case, I've gotten to the point where I keep getting the same dialogue cutscene with her, where she demands that I take the collar off, and if I shock her she says something like "fine, but don't expect any more help from me".  I've heard from people that she will continue giving this same cutscene over and over until I remove the collar, which clearly contradicts the other rumors that I described above.

However, my affection with her is still low (just below 1000), so I'm not sure if I'm stuck on this cutscene because the rumors of being able to corrupt Vette are untrue, or just because I need to artificially raise her affection in order to proceed with the corruption.

texts: What aspects of the game does the difficulty level change?

texts:
I just bought The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and I am wondering what difficulty level I should play it at. I don't like switching the difficulty level during a playthrough, so the suggestion I found online, which is to just start at the highest difficulty and lower it if it becomes to challenging, doesn't work for me. I get bored fast if a game is too easy, so I'm considering the highest difficulty available. HOWEVER, I'm worried about the way the difficulty level is implemtented due to my experience with the Legendary difficulty level in Skyrim.

In Skyrim, the difficulty level just scales enemy HP up, and the player character's HP and DMG down. This is frustrating because the game doesn't really become harder in a mechanical sense, you only have to hit the enemies more often (like, much more often). Also, this threw off the game's design in some instances. For example, try leveling up your Light Armor skill when every damn mudcrab one-hit-kills you. Also at one point there was an enemy that regenerated health faster than I could deal damage, so was literally impossible to beat.

So how is the difficulty level implemented in Witcher 3? Does it just scale HP and DMG levels? Or do the enemies actually become 'smarter'? And what other aspects of the game does it change?

texts: I have started the "Under Saarthal" quest and once I remove the amulet from the door and get trapped, it does not show up in my inventory.  I have re-loaded several times with no luck.  In one case I even reloaded to the start of entering the quest and then went off and completed other quests and sold stuff etc. but when I returned to the quest, the same issue occurred at the exact same point.  Again, I have reloaded but to no avail.  I have confirmed that I am not looking for the wrong item, it is simply not in my inventory. This issue is preventing me from progressing the Mage's and Forbidden Legend questlines.  Any ideas?


texts:
Welcome to League of Legends question of injustice, featuring Tryndamere, the bosses favorite.

Recently, and more than once, the random team I was playing with got owned by a less skilled, opposing team, specifically because they had Tryndamere...

My problem is that when my team had no stun and Tryndamere seemed unstoppable on late game, he even started the fight(along only 3 companions), killed 2 and left spinning, alive.

How do you counter that?

After fighting with the Imperial side at the following quest:

   Battle for Whiterun

The town steward died. I didn't see him die per say, but once I went back in town, a courier came to me with an inhereitance letter saying that the town's steward had passed away.

The problem is, I didn't have the funds to buy the house earlier, and now I remembered that the Steward is dead. Is there any other way to buy an house after the steward has passed away?

I am playing on PC, however I'd prefer to get a solution that didn't involve using the console commands preferably (I'm trying to do a 0 commands run). Although I'll use the resurrect command if I absolutely must.


texts: NFS World crashes and PC restarts automatically

texts:
I've downloaded NFS World from official site and done the updates, however when I open the game at the lowest resolution and lowest texture at some point (after about 2-3 minutes) the game hangs and repeats last played sound (like drifting) and then carries on playing.

This repeats 3-4 times then my computer restarts automatically.

I've tried Heaven Benchmark and open hardware monitor and they reported about 90% GPU memory use!

I also tried Prime 95 torturing tests and reported 100% CPU usage (which is normal for that test) but people say that it should run for hours to heat up the CPU, but it heated up to 81 C in about 3 minutes.

texts: Are there concrete class roles in Diablo 3?

texts:
In some games, notably MMORPGs like World of Warcraft, each character build has a specific role in PvE situations like dungeons and raids.

The developers have said that—at higher difficulties—players in a party can spend up to an hour wiping to a single boss. This made me wonder if there will be concrete class roles like there are in other RPGs; for example, a barbarian using a specific set of abilities or gear would necessarily have to take the role of the "tank".

Is this how it works in Diablo 3, or are class roles more fluid? More to the point, can any build fit the "healer", "tank", or "DPS" roles with minimal effort?

Also, is there any room for Crazy/Viable Builds ?
This Last question is answered on the Video posted in the answer bellow.

Thanks guys for answering my previous question. I have some follow up on it.
I did mentioned that I have changed my enderman farm design since then and have new problem with it.

So here is the problem, I have a row of extended pistons but they are not powered as you can see from the unpowered redstone behind the pistons.They supposed to be retracted so that the enderman could spawn.

It seems that the pistons are not updated. they only retract when I put a block above the row of pistons.

Is there any ways to solve it without having to climb up onto the spawning spawning and updating pistons every time? Hopefully this question is not too localized.

disabling the firewall
disabling windows telemetry,
disabling antivirus.

uninstalling extraneous network hogging services (background services)
disabling unused network adapters (including virtual ones)

Both are Windows 10 machines on the latest version of Steam

texts:
This might have been a UK-only device, but the Hyperscore (by Hasbro) was a cartridge that you plugged your game in to and then inserted into the Super Nintendo or Mega Drive (Genesis).

You played a game (e.g. Super Mario World) and got a high score. You then took the speaker from the cartridge and, having dialed a phone number, held the speaker to it and it told the computer on the other end of the phone your score via different tones.

All the game scores were then put into a national league and the highest score won a prize. You could check the scores on Teletext.

However for me, it never worked. I have a vivid memory of trying to transmit my SMW score through the phone line and it never getting understood.

So my question is did it ever work? There were score on Teletext but they may have been placeholders.

There is not much information on the internet, surprisingly.

(P.S. Which tags do we use for 'peripherals' on here?)

EDIT: @Mazura's cited source is interesting because it talks as if the device wasn't released, however I can tell you that I did purchase one from an independent store and the phoneline was active. I had the telephone at full stretch up the stairs and the SNES at full stretch from my bedroom to ensure the large plastic round speaker could reach the mouthpiece of the phone.
You could adjust the speaker so that the tone noises it made were held for a longer duration... it still didn't work.

I can remember Digitiser had some scores on one of their pages, but I think these were placeholders as they never changed.

EDIT: This guy on the PA forums says pretty much the same thing as the accepted answer and got a boardgame as compensation for the recall.

I would like more detail on the mechanics of Hungering Arrow than the tooltips give me. I know that it "seeks out" enemies, and it has a chance to pierce targets (which varies depending on runes).

How close to a target does the projectile have to be for it to "seek out" that target? Is this constant, or variable?
Will it "seek out" targets on its way to an enemy I specifically clicked?
Are destructible objects and/or destructible containers valid targets for "seeking out"? If so, does the projectile prefer enemies over objects? I'm wondering if I can be screwed by firing at enemies surrounded by barrels.

I married Harriet the Furniture Seller in Brightwall Village. We lived there very happily until she started complaining about our house. I moved her to the nicest house in Brightwall, and still she complained. So I set her up in a nice little house in the Bowerstone Old Quarter. It even had an indoor staircase! Harriet the Furniture Seller seemed very happy there.

Then, we destroyed the Old Quarter en route to my becoming Queen. Harriet the Furniture Seller's and my house was not spared from the fiery destruction. But I'm playing through the game as a good guy, so I paid Reaver Industries to repair the Old Quarter. Our house was rebuilt complete with its little plaque with the heart on it, but I can't find Harriet the Furniture Seller anywhere. She's not hanging out in the house, in Bowerstone Market where I usually find her, or anywhere on the streets of the Old Quarter. She's not back in Brightwall. I moved our household to a new house in Bowerstone Market to see if that would free her from some glitch, but she's still nowhere to be found.

Where, oh where, has my poor Harriet the Furniture Seller gone?

Update: Louise the Housewife and I are set up very happily in Bowerstone Castle, but not a day goes by that I don't think fondly of my Harriet the Furniture Seller, and miss her dearly.

How do I get it so that I can use Telekenesis for at least 15 seconds? Although I have thought of getting the Adept or Expert perk for Alteration that makes it cost half as much Magicka, I think it would still not take long at all to completely run out of Magicka.

I realize that there's some element of randomness involved, but what factors does the game consider when auto-resolving? Is it possible (this is one of my main concerns) that an auto-resolved battle, even if won, will result in me losing my general? Basically, what should I consider when thinking about the risk of using auto-resolve? I'm pretty sure it's more complicated than that little green/red bar in the middle.

texts: How to convert a FTB server to a singleplayer world in Minecraft

texts:
So I have a FTB Unleashed server that I want to change into a singleplayer world as I would have to buy more ram for the server it is running off and as I'm really the only person that uses it I did not see that as an option.

I have read the article on the gaming stack exchange

How do I convert a SMP server world into a Single-player compatable world?

but the files on my server seem to be diffrent.
Screenshot of files: https://gyazo.com/4db9f2470ad14526dd4222b6bc785128

World folder: https://gyazo.com/d1c9f27ad17293cb170c4b71277ddae0

Does the same concept of copying the dimesions to the regions folder apply to the FTB server?

The server is Minecraft 1.5.2 and its running FTB Unleashed v1.1.7

I have a hard time fighting against Bastion as D.Va. My plan is to just fly through it and knock him out.

I know that Reindhardt's pin and Road Hog's grab will put Bastion into recon mode. What about D.Va? Will my plan work?

texts: How do you get all the gems, and what do they do?

texts:
After doing all 4 boards in normal mode, I got a red gem. It placed itself at the top of the star.

I guess there are others. But I also can't figure out what are they supposed to do.

So how do you get all the gems, and what do they do?

texts: Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter, Kleer Skeletons on City of Memphis - Metropolis

texts: I can't seem to find a reasonable way to get to get past this part. I've carefully jumped back across the bridge, but the Kleer Skeletons just keep building up.  Once there are enough of them, the bridge extends, allowing them to reach me. How can I defeat this large mob without having to take advantage of an exploit?
