texts: Would the 4.20 patch make smite an unintended laning spell?

texts:
As of the 4.20 patch the hunters machette is only purchaceable when you have smite as summoner spell. The hunters machette also got some neat new items to build in-to. These are to much to list so the link can be found on the league wiki or here.

The item i potentially saw as a laning weapon would be the :

  Skirmisher's Sabre (NEW)

  RECIPE Hunter's Machete + 350 gold

  PASSIVE - CHALLENGING SMITE Smite can be cast on enemy champions,
  marking them for 6 seconds. While marked, you deal 18-69 bonus true
  damage to them on hit, have vision of them, and reduce their damage to
  you by 20%.

  PASSIVE - JUNGLER Deal 45 magic damage on hit to monsters
  over 2 seconds and gain 10 health and 5 mana per second while in
  combat with monsters

Or the :

  Stalker's Blade (NEW)

  RECIPE Hunter's Machete + 350 gold

  PASSIVE -
  CHILLING SMITE Smite can be cast on enemy champions, dealing 28-164
  true damage and reducing their movement speed by 50% for 2 seconds

  PASSIVE - JUNGLER Deal 45 magic damage on hit to monsters over 2
  seconds and gain 10 health and 5 mana per second while in combat with
  monsters

Now as a top laner being able to smite champions and deal bonus true damage on hit could potentially change a fight. (also the 20% damage reduction and vision or the movement speed slow helps).

But wait, there's more.

These items can be build into the enchanted versions and they basicly provide some pretty deasent stats. (look on the wiki for information (its a lot to list)).

My question would be, is taking smite in lane (specifically top lane but any lane would be viable) worth it? (so compared to, bloodthirster, manamune, rabadons etc and compared to taking tp/ignite/exhaust/heal/flash??)

Smite has a 40 second cooldown. Ignite (for example) has a 210 second cooldown. If you're able to do bonus damage this often i'd say it would be pretty viable. (its 5 smites for every ignite).


texts: How do I delete HTML5 game apps in Chrome?

texts:
I noticed the new Chrome store today and downloaded / installed the free app "Canvas Rider".

I quickly determined that the game was both difficult to control, and frustratingly unforgiveably hard.

I decided that I would unistall the app and never speak of my lack of skills regarding it immediately... except I can't figure out how to uninstall it!

Where is the application data saved / how do I rid myself of this (now) unwanted app?


texts: What does this symbol in Hextech Crafting mean?

texts:
I went through my Hextech Crafting loot and I noticed that some of the skin shards I have display a symbol that looks like a ward while other skin shards don't.

What does this symbol mean? I originally thought that it had something to do with the amount of essence each one disenchants into, but the Butcher Urgot shard and Outback Renekton shard are worth the same amount of essence as well as the same amount of RP in-store.


texts: How do I attach ragdolls to other objects?

texts:
I'm trying to make ragdolls attach to posts in the Source Hammer Editor for Half-Life 2. The outcome would be something like what is in the Sandtraps chapter, with the Combine guard used as a dummy:

This is the best I could find without going in-game.
Image source:

I did some research a while ago, but what I tried (which I do not remember what it was) did not work. The problem I am facing at the moment is how to actually attach the ragdoll to the post.

EDIT 1: I have tried using phys_ragdollmagnet, but to no avail. I have also tried sticking a prop through the ragdoll and into the post, but that doesn't work either.

EDIT 2: I have figured out how to attach objects using phys_ragdollconstraint and phys_constraintsystem. Now the problem is, I can't get them to stop dancing! They keep jiggling even though I have disabled the collisions on the ragdolls.


texts: Why are my controllers not working in Super Meat Boy on OS X?

texts:
I'm trying to play Super Meat Boy on OSX using a joypad, and it doesn't work: the buttons are fine, but the D-pad is completely ignored!

I've tried many joypads and the result is the same for all of them. The only exception is a joypad with analog sticks, where the sticks are ignored but the d-pad works (I can't use that joypad for other reasons, though, and that's beside the point).

I've tried to make some random edits to buttonmap.cfg but nothing happened.


texts: Charged shots shooting wrong way with controller

texts: I find that whenever I play Azazel or have any other charged shot item when I release the charge it sometimes just shoots in some random directions other than where I was aiming. I use a controller and use the joystick to shoot. I press in the direction to charge and release to fire. I suspect that the elasticity in the joystick is causing it to snap back to center and a little further, causing it to shoot in the opposite direction on release. Is this a problem anyone else has had? Is it my controller? Is there any way to fix this or should I just start using the buttons instead?


texts: What happens if I ignore my Fallout Shelter game for two weeks?

texts:
I just started playing Fallout Shelter yesterday.  I'm going to be working away from civilization for two weeks and will not have the time nor power nor inclination to play a phone game.  I would like to not come back to a shelter full of skeletons.

What can I do to mitigate the damage to my shelter after two weeks with no Overseer?  Can I pause or slow the game?  Should I recall all my explorers?


texts:
As Zenyatta, one key way you help your team is by placing orbs of discord so enemies take increased damage. But I'm greedy, and often I want to discord orb someone I have lined up in my sights. Occasionally, however, this happens after I've already started charging up my alt fire.

You can't launch an orb of discord while the alt fire is charged up. But you can launch an orb of discord immediately after the alt fire is released, and both your alt fire and the orb of discord have some travel time to the target.

Does the orb of discord travel fast enough to boost the damage from your alt fire if you cast it after you've released the alt fire?

texts:
During crafting, there are four different actions available, and four different indicators that these actions manipulate.

At what levels of Heat, Durability, and Progress should each action be taken in order to maximize the final quality of the product, and what might the final stats of a product of a given quality be?

Note: This doesn't need to result in perfect items every time, or anything like that, even a pattern that will tend towards better quality goods would be helpful.

texts: Is there a way to control which item gets combined and which gets dropped?

texts:
Yesterday this happened to me: I wanted to give a lvl 2  unit (lets say it's a Jax) its 3rd item which would be combined with the 3rd item already equipped. Now I had another lvl 2 Jax on the Bench, which, due to the time pressure, I gave the item, instead of the one being equipped already. Unfortunately I had another 2 lvl 1 Jax on my Bench, one being back from a shared draft round, so him having another item which I definitely don't want to combine with either of the other 2 items.

Now, assuming I have another Jax in my shop, is there any way I can control which item would combine with which, and which would be dropped off, through means like bench order or positions in the field or something like this? Or would it happen at random?


texts: How can I increase the max selected units in Starcraft single player?

texts:
I've been playing Starcraft  again, and have found the most annoying thing about it is that I can only select a max of 12 units at a time. This is most annoying when playing as Zerg, as I often want to select all my drones, but often end up selecting my larvae as well.

Is there a way of increasing the max number of units you can have selected at a time in single player, either in game, by mod, tweaking a settings file, or another way?


texts: How can I find out how many blocks are needed to download a game?

texts:
When trying to see how many blocks a game is on the E-Shop, I find that the only way to view so is to have enough money to get that game.

For instance, in order to see how many blocks Bravely Default would take on my SD Card, I would need at least $39.99 to see how many blocks.

Problem is, I had this experience with my first downloaded E-Shop game and hated it.  I had $39.99 loaded up but after buying it I found out I did not have enough "blocks" on my SD Card.

I've tried looking at the "More Details" option when looking at a game, but there's nothing that would show how many blocks the game takes.

IS there any resource out there can show me how many blocks are in a game without having to have the required amount of money to get said game?

Is there any reward for collecting these medals?


texts: Is it possible to undo the last command I queued in Starcraft 2?

texts:
Suppose I am in a battle and I play MMM vs Stalker & Immortal. If both armies clash I chain a command to focus all Immortals one after another with Shift.

Sometimes I click 2-3 Immortals and afterwards misclick on the ground. This will either issue the command move or attack ground (nearest enemy) depending on if I issue right click or A + right click. Both versions are not what I want.

Is it possible to undo my last click?

texts:
The enchantment table never offers any enchants for a diamond sword. I've enchanted countless other items. I often put in my diamond sword and see that there are no enchants available, then enchant a book to reset the enchantment seed, then put the sword in again, and still no enchants are available. This is in an enchanting table with the maximum number of bookshelves and at least level 30 experience.

Is there something wrong with my world, or is this normal? I don't see anything in the wiki that would suggest this behavior.

texts: How do I calculate Item level to help me when I shop in Hellfire/Diablo?

texts:
In the Jarulf’s Guide to Diablo and Hellfire

it states (in the table '' Definition of ilvl for Griswold’s premium items'')

At Griswold the 14th slot will be:
clvl + 3

And since I'm lvl 13: the ilvl can go up to 16 in that slot

For a King's Bastard Sword of speed (same attack speed as haste) I don't know how to calculate the ilvl (qlvl) can someone help me? Same thing for the Jester's Sword of the leech.

Because I'd like to know the optimal level to farm this item, I've read that a King's Bastard Sword of haste is ilvl 28 but it is quite complicated to calculate this, if I had one example perhaps I could understand better.

The best level to farm is 1 level lower than the ilvl or the same level. because in Hellfire there is 4 slots with +1 ilvl and 4 slots with the same ilvl (Griswold).

In my case specifically the Savage Plate Helm.

Why doesn't it even appear? Has this item been removed or something?


texts: How to get a large ocean map (is it even possible)?

texts:
Is there a theoretical limit to how big oceans can become with the current terrain generator?

Backstory:
I am searching for seeds for a project where I want the area around origo (x=0, z=0) to be as much ocean as possible. While searching I found this thread, where a user claims to have a seed that creates this world (his screenshot):

This map would be sensationally perfect for me, unfortunately however, trying his seed "FOUR o FOUR" I don't get this world. Other users fail to get this world as well and asked him to post the numerical seed using a seed extractor thinking there might be a typographical error. He then claims he used the tool and posted "-165589391". This however is the numberical seed that "FOUR o FOUR" gives, and naturally the same world as before.

One theory is therefor that there was an error when this map was generated for him, or he was using a map editor or a mod or something. But I was wondering if such a map actually is possible at all.

Edit:
@SevenSidedDie:It is certainly possible, however the thread was posted late in march, after biomes were added and after the ability to enter seeds were added, and he specifically mentions the seed used to create the world (and taking the hashcode of his provided string do indeed give the same integer he later posts.

@fredley: He specifically says that you spawn at 0,0, ergo an absolute spawn. to go east from 0,0. The world I created has a random spawn, but I've checked the entire area from -500,-500 to 500,500, and nothing resembles the map he has shown.

@fredley: What do you mean by "looks like I got the world you're talking about"? Do you mean the world I desire? If so, can you please tell me if the seed is any of the two I mention above? I doub it somewhat, because even though there is a lot of water around the coordinates (46, -293) in your screenshot, a Cartograph reveals that the map is in no way the same as the desired. Here are some Cartographs from "FOUR o FOUR" and "-165589391". The red X marks (0,0), and as you can see they are the same, but not anywhere close to the desired map:

FOUR o FOUR:

-165589391:

texts: Why can't I grant the Kingdom of Wales to the Grand-Mayor of Gwynedd?

texts:
I'm Emperor of Alba and besides the Kingdom of Eire I control the Kingdom of Wales(1). One of its Dukes is the Grand-Mayor of Gwynedd, which has built a lot of trade posts and stuff over the years.

The game doesn't allow me to grant him the kingdom title, saying its type is wrong. But as far as I understood, there could have been republics with a rank higher than duke, weren't it?

I could also revoke his title since he was a rebel, but I fear that doing so would destroy his families and trade posts, even if my intention would be to grant it to another mayor, right?

(1) actually Brythoniaid or Bhretain Bheag, can't remember, doesn't matter

My internet is fine, but I can't test this on another device for the time being. My firewall should be okay, it's fully open for Minecraft. I can create new worlds, but I just can't upload any.

texts: How do you create double doors that open in sync from a 2-wide power source?

texts:
I've got a double door which I power from below, using a T-flip flop triggered by a pressure plate on the inside so that when I walk out, the doors open before me and when I walk in, the doors close behind me. It's a very good design for me, but, while powering the doors from below, I usually have to put one powered from off to the side instead of both from the inside. I found the design in my image, which is only 2 wide (I uncovered it, it would usually be covered), on this site, used for something else. However, the two doors are a half-step out of sync, i.e. with the repeaters in this position, one opens before the other, and if I delay the first one with one click on the repeater, the behavior is switched. In this configuration (the delays are equal), the left door always opens and closes a half-step earlier.

How can I get the doors perfectly in sync?

Here's a screenshot:

texts: Getting a PS3 for Ratchet & Clank Future. What about PSN?

texts:
My brother plans to get a PlayStation 3, and I get to play on it. That means I'll finally (!) be able to play the Ratchet & Clank Future series.

In the wake of the recent attack on PSN, I'm now rather cautious about getting a PS3, more so than I want to be. But in any case, what do I need to know or be wary about regarding PSN, specifically for the new Ratchet games? Even basic questions like "do I need an account for these games in the first place?" would be good for an answer, because I can't really find much info addressing that. I'm equally interested in what I'd be missing out on if I stay offline, though.

I know that demos are available on PSN, but since I'll be buying the games anyway I probably don't need them. I'll also be going to the store and buy the games from there, instead of purchasing online.

texts: Does item duping still work in Diablo 2 with the latest patches (for single player use)?

texts:
Once upon a merry time ago I was the first kid on my block to beat Diablo 2 with a Paladin.  One thing that I hated was farming for runes and gems.

We discovered pretty quickly how to use multiplayer mode and a back up of the player file to dupe gems and runes so we could create things like our triple socketed perfect diamond great shield in a lot less than the forever that farming offered.

Has this bug been patched over in the latest patches? (I will follow up with a question about the best way to farm runes/gems that I can use on battle.net)

texts:
Lately survival mode has kept freezing up on me.

The animation of the spawn building (it grows and shrinks) keeps happening as well as the energy animation.

I'm not getting any errors or anything like that, the score isn't even going up. Clicking on finish game, makes the (loading?) lights at the top go off for a second but nothing happens after that. Relaunching survival brings me back to the frozen game at the same point in time.

It's happened a few times today, sometimes it just fixes itself. It's really annoying because simulation mode is way too slow to test anything in at even 500%.

It seems that eventually the game times out, and says game over with however many points I had at the time of the freeze even though I was far from losing.

texts: Genre name for real-time, 2D games where you create soldiers that automatically advance to the enemy base?

texts:
I've recently noticed some games emerging in a certain style for which I know of no name.  I'm curious if there's any name for this style of gameplay - such a name will allow me to more efficiently search for more information about this genre.
I'm guessing it's some subgenre of strategy gaming.
General Game Description

2D gameplay with a side-scrolling perspective.
Real-time (or mostly real-time) action.
You have a base at one edge of the map and the enemy has one at the other edge.
The winner is the first player to destroy the opponent's base.
You can create new units at your base. You have no control of these units. They will automatically advance towards the opponent's base, attacking any of the opponent's units on the way.
If a unit reaches the enemy's base, it starts attacking it.
The game may include other aspects like resource management (units cost resources that you get somewhere), special abilities (e.g. spells on a timer) or other special mechanics, but the core of the gameplay is choosing the correct unit composition and timing and letting those units do the work for you.

texts: How do I get the "What the...?" achievement in Cities Skylines?

texts:
In the "Natural Disasters" DLC for Cities Skylines are some new Steam achievements. One of them is What the...? - Experience a special disaster. I tried several things and messed around with disasters but wasn't able to figure it  out. My research was unsuccessful.

Can somebody tell me how to achieve this? Any answers welcome.

Thanks

I've been playing Disgaea 2 a lot lately, and while grinding items through the Item World I encountered a few specialists named "Collector".

The wiki page on specialists does not, unfortunately, explain what a Collector does aside from "increase rarity" without explaining what rarity means in this context.

Can anyone here elucidate?


texts: What defines a JRPG, and how is it different from an RPG?

texts:
I've always wondered if JRPG, or Japanese Role-Playing Game, has any concrete definition for it.
I'm only curious now because lately I've seen a lot of people referencing Genshin Impact, a F2P MMORPG be considered a "JRPG".   Which, to me, sounds weird because it is widely known that Genshin Impact is produced by a Chinese game developer, Mihoyo.
Which then leads me to believe that there must be a more intrinsic meaning behind the category "JRPG".   If the developer does not necessarily have to be Japanese, then does it mean any developer can produce a JRPG? And if so, what defines a JRPG? What differentiates a JRPG from a regular RPG game, for instance Baldur's Gate?

texts:
In Lord of the Rings Online, is there a way to know which areas are appropriate for certain levels?

My friends and I have been playing the game for a while now and following the Epic Book quest lines starting in Bree, and are now to book 3, however we are just barely high enough level to get the quests in the areas we are at, and the guys we fight just destroy us if there are more than like 2 of them.

Where should characters in their high 20's to low 30's be questing?  We've wandered back towards the Shire, but all the quests there are for levels 10 or lower, and are barely worth doing.

Help?

texts: How can I obtain the "Perfect as Tears" and "Like Stars in the Sky" achievements?

texts:
These two achievements require crafting a Radiant Star gem of the four original types: topaz, ruby, emerald, and amethyst.  Finding the recipes is no longer an issue because in the 2.0.1 patch, all gem recipes through Marquise were automatically trained (or gained on jeweler levels - mine started at 10 so I can't check).  So, prior to the expansion, one could farm hundreds of Flawless Square gems at level 60 and slowly work their way up to a Radiant Star.

Unfortunately, once you hit level 61, Flawless Squares no longer drop.  Only Marquise and Imperial gems do.

Given the very small window where Flawless Square gems are eligible to drop, the high number of gems required, and the low amount of experience required to get out of this range, is there any reasonable method for acquiring these two achievements in RoS?

However, I wasn't able to rank up to where I wanted to be in time, despite spending a lot more time studying than other activities that had already increased my other Social Skills, which seemed to have ranked up a lot faster. Does Knowledge take longer to level up than other stats? Do the stats all vary in how much experience is needed to increase them?

texts: Do I really need a weight in the front of my tractor when farming?

texts: When I started this game, I immediately went online (no tutorial) and did some farming tasks (cultivating and planting) with the smaller tractor.  Now I decided to go to the tutorial to get a better understanding of the tasks and the tutorial makes me carry a weight in the front of the tractor to balance out the load.  Is there any downside to not having a weight in the front of the tractor?  I ask as I was able to farm online without the front weight without any issues.


texts:
I played Eve for a while and the community produced a lot of tools based on the data that CCP released to the public.

The data included stats on ships, modules, mobs, skills, etc. And players created all kinds of tools to help with planning your ship loadouts and your learning plan.

Is there a similar resource for Lord of the Rings Online?

I realize LOTRO is more role-playing oriented, meaning that people should spend less time tweaking and more time taking part in the community. It would also contain quite a bit of spoilers for the people who like to be surprised with new items. So I can understand if Turbine won't release any of the data.

But are there any reliable sources for this data besides Turbine themselves then?

The data has to be structured (in a relational database or XML or any other usable structure).

Does the chance to discover the higher quality recipes change with level or is it some fixed percentage?  (I was burning my low-level materials on some enhancements and it only took me 3 items to get up to purple; lucky?)

texts: How should I play Guile against Ryu/Ken users?

texts:
I'm maining Guile and recently I've been on a lose streak against the same guy who is maining Ken/Ryu (switching one after another), the guy is not that skillful but the deal is:

Every now and then at start of the match he used to jump in at me probably he thinks I'd throw a sonic boom at start, but instead I always crouch down and hit him with flash kick. However, later on in the game, once in a while when he jumps in at me while I'm in crouch down position, I try to execute flash kick or crouch down + HP but none executed (I just appeared idle and I can´t figure out the reason) and I just get knocked out.

How do I improve my game playing as Guile against Ken or Ryu?

I have been playing Minecraft Bedrock Edition for some time now on my iPad. I have all sounds enabled in the game settings. However, when I insert a music disc into a jukebox, or use the /playsound command to play a valid sound, no sound is elicited from the system.

Minecraft ambience
Music discs
/playsound command

This has continuously happened for over a year now. What is going on, and how do I fix this rather annoying problem?
Edit: This problem has nothing to do with hardware issues. Minecraft sound effects, like block breaking, still work fine.


texts: Is the water in Spyro the Dragon (Reignited Trilogy) meant to be this deadly, and how do I just take damage?

texts:
I'm playing Spyro the Dragon, the very first game in the Reignited Trilogy. I haven't played the original and I'm running into something that's a bit confusing.
When Spyro touches deep water in this game (or ice water, or poison water), that's an instant kill. He sinks and drowns, loses a life, and respawns. A couple of times while playing I've seen him bounce off the top and just take damage, but this doesn't happen often and I'm confused as to how/when it  will happen. (And I don't really want to spend a ton of lives on experimentation.)
Part of me is wondering if this is a bug in the remaster, like when Crash Bandicoot 1 had his hitbox changed in the N. Sane Trilogy remaster making the platforming an awful lot harder. Then again, it's a remaster of a game from 1998, and maybe that's how the original actually worked.
So, is the water meant to be this deadly? What's the pattern to actually surviving the water and just bouncing off the surface?

texts:
Last weekend we've tried to have a LAN party with some friends all with PS4's, in total 6 PS4's.
We tried to play FIFA 17 profclub and Battlefield 1 online.

But when trying to play online a few PS4's could connect to the Fifa servers and Battlefield servers, just two PS4's did not get any connection with the servers.

All PS4's where connected via working cables, all the PS4's could connect to PSN, but only when try to join an online server, the server connection failed.

There was an cable internet connection 150/15mbps, so I guess there is bandwidth enough.

Now I'm wondering is there something I forgot or need to know about having a LAN party with multiple Playstation 4's?

Now all I can do is hop around as a bag.  How do I change back into a Goat?

Note: I am assuming I can just restart the game or level, but I have completed almost all of the missions (pranks) so I do not want to start over.  Opting to Respawn just put me back at the respawn area as a bag.

I have a level 74 Braixen which I have given the Everstone to prevent her from evolving.

However, I would like to know what will happen if I level Braixen up to level 100 without letting her evolve.

If I remove the Everstone will she forever stay a Braixen? Or will she try evolving into Delphox?

If she doesn't evolve, will there be a way for her to evolve later as there will be no more XP gained from battling?

I have never done this before I have always allowed my Pokemon to evolve eventually so I was wondering if someone has tried this or knows what will happen?

Every once in a while, when trying to wall jump, Meat Boy does an upward wall-slide instead of another jump. Is that a kind of "bug" or is it possible to perform an upward slide while sliding?

And no, I don't mean the classic wall sliding that you get from the vertical momemtum of a normal jump.

Does anybody can explain this?


texts: Act 2 Loot Goblin vs Act 3 Resplendent Chest Runs

texts:
Updated:(Tyrael has been nerfed and chance of chest has been drastically reduced.)

So we've been doing a lot of act 2 nephalem buff farming with my buddies, but have found that a lot of people are just doing either act 2 Treasure Goblin farming, or act 3 Resplendent Chest/ Treasure Goblin Farming.  We've tried both, and have had success with both. I do solo farm, but I know what works best for me there.  The group I work with all runs with Magic Find (MF) and we're all just above 200MF (without nephalems), if that matters.

Finding and clearing a chest in act 3 can take anywhere from 2-8 minutes, while it only takes 2 minutes to find a loot goblin in act 2 (assuming that you have one in the game you join).  We farm as a group so we can maximize the amount of goblins or chests we find, but there's some factors that make it unclear to me what really is the best bet.

While we can do treasure goblin runs faster, there are times when it seems like he wont spawn for 10 minutes for 4 people.

The Underbridge in act 3, had been up roughly 75% of the time for the 30-40 runs I did last night, but the chests only seem to spawn about 10-20% of the time inside.  It's nice because act 3 can drop the highest loot tier, but it does take a little longer and we do suffer some deaths.  Also my dps I run with has issues with clearing or finding chests since they're so squishy, but it's still doable for them.  So I end up finding roughly 80% of the chests.

Just curious if anyones kept any tabs for a period of a few days as to the profits from each.  Right now I've only farmed each for a day.  I look forward to hearing your results or opinions.

Update:  Tyrael has been nerfed, so if you can't do the damage yourself to clear any necessary mobs, or the elites if you like to kill them, then you will have issues.  Tyraels damage has gone from 25k-40k a hit down to 1,200.  At least from what I've experienced thus far.

Also the chance of the chest has been drastically reduced.  As I have not seen any offical numbers on it, or any details of their stealth nerf of the chest runs, I can give you what I've seen from trying the run since the nerf, which is about a 10% chance for the chest to spawn.  Unfortunately I've only been finding one or two chests an hour now, making the act 3 chest runs not worth it.

PS:  Here's some good links that demonstrate these runs.
Act 2 Loot Goblin and
Act 3 Loot Goblin and Resplendent Chest.

texts:
While messing around in the Plains of Eidolon, me and my squad came across this:

Activating the console caused some machinery around the room to rumble for a few moments and made one of the 3 little white balls on the map blink (a different one each time).

Outside this hut, there is a grid system of poles and wires connecting them, so we were able to determine that the white balls seemed to correlate to large piles of dirt where the Grineer appear to have been digging.  These dirt piles also had a strange red look to them when viewed from the air.

However, we were unable to find any difference between the dirt pile whose white ball had blinked and the ones who hadn't.  We even tried looking around with the synthesis scanner in case there was a hidden entity it could reveal, but found nothing.

Is that it?  Is there something in the dirt?  What does the map mean?  What does activating this console ultimately lead to?

I looked everywhere and for the life of me, I can't find a single person who attempted to do this.

I am also aware that some blocks and items names have changed, but even for example diamond_ore which has the same name for both versions, it didn't change to 1.15.2 texture.

Please, if you can tell me what I did wrong, or link me to some kind of converter, that would be amazing.

texts: How do you defeat yourself or: How do I defeat myself?

texts:
I recently got a quest to fight "myself", an opponent with the exact same HP and sword as I:

What are effective ways to defeat one's self?

Also, I realized that if you have too much HP (by eating too much candy), this will make the quest take too long to finish. Aside from not eating too much candy, are there other ways to make this quest easier and faster to finish, like which choice of sword and other items to use?

Do the effects of the swords activate when fighting yourself? i.e. Will fighting yourself with the Life Sword make the quest longer to finish as both you and yourself (your clone) are continually healing themselves on every hit? What about the effects of the Fire Sword and the Sword of Summoning?

From a question closed as a duplicate of this one (What does the sorceress mean by being "able to surpass yourself"?):

The sorceress recently gave me an option to buy the ability to "surpass myself" in exchange for a million lollipops. I bought that ability. Afterwards, the sorceress now says this:

You are now able to surpass yourself. Congratulations !

What triggers the sorceress into selling you the ability to surpass
yourself?
And what does it mean if I am now "able to surpass myself"?
What changes do the "ability to surpass yourself" do? (I'm asking this mainly to know how cheats could have a side effect on this game mechanic.)

An approved edit by an anonymous user in this answer states that: "The Surpass Yourself increases the damage done to the You (Clone) while not damaging You (Player), making the level completable." However, this conflicts with this other answer: "The "Surpass Yourself" spell basically prevents the real you from dying when you battle yourself. When you get down to 0 health, the real you will be given 1 health, allowing you to complete the level.". Can anyone confirm how exactly the game mechanics work here?

So I entered Riverwood, and was attacked by 3 “thugs”. On one of their bodies was a contract, that said

  Here is the agreed upon amount. I expect you to faithfully carry out my request to teach a lesson to the thief Cyoce. You need not kill him, but I have no qualms about it if you deem it necessary.

  -- Orgnar

I’ve looked around, and there are several answers, but I don’t understand why it’s happening to me. First, I have never stolen from anyone, let alone Orgnar. Also, this is the second time I’ve been attacked. Is there a way to stop it? Can I yield to them after a bit, and have it qualify as having been “taught a lesson”? Would killing Orgnar stop it? Is there a way to do so without incurring a bounty (I am a warrior; I doubt assassination would work)? Any suggestions? Or do I just need to deal with random attacks from thugs as well as dragons?

This has already happened to me several times, and I find it rather annoying. I'll be downloading some game on steam, and once a few single MBs remain do be downloaded, the download will suddenly hang, perhaps downloading a few bytes here and there.

This issue may be related to heavy load on steam's servers (recent bundles, and holidays, probably caused a load spike), so there may be nothing to do other than wait patiently.

Still, I was downloading the last few MBs of Really Big Sky for three whole days and if there's anything active I can do to work around this issue, that would be great.

I got my Alpha Sapphire before I got my X, and since I am struggling a bit with the Elite 4 I figured it would be a good idea to send some of the pokemon that are strong, but not in my main team (competitive reasons, you know) over to X.
Unfortunately, I only have one 3DS and there's not enough space on my SD card to have ORAS, X and Pokebank. So I tried putting a Magikarp in the GTS on my X asking for Entei (which I had in ORAS and wanted to transfer), but when I searched for my Magikarp on ORAS, it didn't show up.

Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong, and how to fix it?

texts:
My follower 'Jordis the Sword-Maiden' is supposedly fully maxed out in terms of her skills set, and has reached level 50, but I've noticed her perks are not in effect. She is currently equipped with full Daedric armor, and dying almost effortless by upper level enemies, such as bandit marauders.

I have tried using the Wabbajack numerous times, to reset her stats, and it is of no use. I have also noticed that her equipment is slightly greyed out whenever I try to trade her items, and this problem is also not responsive with the use of the Wabbajack, either.

What can I do to reset Jordis the Sword-Maiden, so she will use her skills? I am playing on Xbox 360.

texts: How do you charge a quirk special without activating it first

texts:
When I try to charge my quirk specials with, say, Midoriya or Bakugo as explained in the tutorial by holding down the button for the action, the initial button press triggers the uncharged ability, and then I have to continue to hold it for the charge.  After the visual cue I can use the ability again for the full charged effect, but having to trigger the default ability before this charge is annoying and often causes me to expose myself.

I played against a Bakugo recently online who was visibly charging up his quirk specials without having to trigger them first.  How'd he do it?  I've also seen the AI do this in mission mode.

Playing on PS4 if it makes a difference, though it shouldn't.

texts: Will the Minium Stone work with the Automatic Crafting Table?

texts: Using an automatic cobblestone generator and an Automatic Crafting Table (ACT). I will pipe the cobblestone into the ACT that has a Minium Stone in place, and hopefully it will output dirt, which in theory I could keep repeating to produce clay or sand or any other block I need. Would the ACT even work with the Minium Stone? Would this setup work at all? If not, is there a way to make this work?


texts: What counts for a satellite deployment contract?

texts:
The contracts call for "a new unmanned probe that has an antenna and can generate power".

According to the sidebar, this launch vehicle counts in that regard:

However, once I jettison the first stage, it no longer counts. I am legitimately confused at why this happens.

Could someone enlighten me as to why the first stage makes a difference, and how I could change the payload so that it qualifies?

Here is a picture of the deployed payload, albeit an older version:


texts: How do you complete Robin's flurry attack challenge?

texts:
There is a challenge that reads:

As Robin, use a flurry attack to KO a Lv. 9 CPU in a 2-player battle. This must be done within 3 minutes, with spirits off, and without handicaps.

I've tried for at least an hour to open this challenge, but nothing I do seems to be working. I assume by flurry attack they mean Robin's rapid jab attack, where he uses his wind tome. I've tried many things:

KO the enemy on a stage with walk-off blast lines, such as the Boxing Ring.
KO the enemy using the lava in The Great Cave Offensive.
KO the enemy the regular way on a normal stage, KOing them when they have a high enough percentage.

None of it worked and I'm sure the match was over within 3 minutes. What am I doing wrong?


texts: Why is "Recruit" not working for Sweet's mission "Los Sepulcros" in GTA: San Andreas on Windows 10?

texts:
I am playing GTA: San Andreas on a Windows 10 environment and have reached the mission "Los Sepulcros". However, I can't complete the mission because I have to use the "recruit" feature to start. The in-game tutorials tell me to aim at a gang member (using rmb) and press G to Recruit but it doesn't work. Is this something to do with Windows OS compatibility? I ask this because when I first downloaded GTA: SA, I had my mouse working improperly (I solved it by downloading the application extension "dinput8.dll").
There is a similar problem faced by someone else as well: Magnet not working in Zero's mission "New Model Army" in GTA: San Andreas
I have tried enabling the frame limiter as suggested in an answer to the above question, but it doesn't work.

texts: How does biome generation work in 1.8 snapshots?

texts:
My friends and I were planning on starting a survival server for ourselves once 1.8 is officially released, and the possibility of having the nearest ice-based or mesa biome being 20 km away from 0,0 has become a bit of a concern.  I understand that things like AMIDST and seed lists exist, but I'm looking for the actual algorithm that Minecraft uses so that I would be able to write a program which would, in some sense, automate seed-searching for particular patterns or features by generating just the biomes from random seeds.

As far as I understand, the biome patterns are entirely deterministic from the seed and are generated via some Perlin noise-based algorithm, but I can't seem to find any specific information anywhere on how the algorithm specifically works besides very high-level descriptions or explanations for outdated versions.  However, I know something like this has already been done at least once since the Mindcrack server had its survival server reset semi-recently and specifically picked a seed with extremely varied biomes within a few kilometers of 0,0 due to distance limitations imposed by a worldborder.

In short, what are all the nitty-gritty details behind the algorithm which determines Minecraft's biomes, and how would I go about generating just the biomes from a seed if I intended to?

texts: Is there a way to view total rocket mass in KSP?

texts:
I was building a rocket in Kerbal Space Program the other night, when I started to wonder if there was a quick way to view the total mass of a rocket. I was wondering this because each rocket part has a mass value when you hover over it. Of course, I could just add the up the total mass from each of the parts used, but that seems like a lot of work, particularly so considering the the 'throw stuff together' style of rocket building common to KSP.

Is there some easy method for viewing the total mass?


texts:
The melter has 30% downtimes, I expect to have 66% downtimes.

What is the calculation base?

The steel furnance has a crafting speed of 2 per second.
The electric mining drill has a mining speed of 0.5 per second
The copper plate has a production time of 3.2 seconds

This means, the steel furnance can melt 1.6 (3.2/2) but 3 times the electic minig drill gives 1.5 (3*0.5) ore per second.

What is the calculation base for melting?


texts: What effect do the 'Hungryiness' and 'thirst4Dew' stats have?

texts:
Disclaimer: (Yes, this is a real game)

In the Montage parody game (GAME OF THE YEAR: 420BLAZEIT vs. xxXilluminatiXxx [wow/10 #rekt edition] Montage Parody The Game) the stats shown in the top right of the screenshot below seem to tick up as you move around, and can be reset to 0 by picking up the Doritos bags & Dew cans respectively. Picking up these items also restores health.

But I haven't seen any effect (negative or otherwise) from the stats alone.

Do they have an effect in-game?

texts: When are attacks/defenses no long able to be shared

texts:
For example, assume my attack and defense log is full and I am still in my current season (about mid-way). Some of my attacks/defenses are still able to be shared with my clan while others cannot be shared. This excludes attacks/defenses that can be replayed by me but cannot be shared with the clan.

What would cause an attack or a defense to no longer be able to be shared? All I know that only the first four attacks and defenses can be shared and that a new season causes every attack and defense (from last season) to be no longer shareable nor viewable.

This is not a duplicate as I am asking of all the requirements that must be met to become unshareable only.

Are there any other differences between the PC and console versions known at the moment, or any differences between individual console releases of the game?

texts: Why does my magmatic dynamo keep stopping?

texts:
I have an ender-thermic pump set up connected to a magmatic dynamo:

It works as expected, once started with a bucket of lava in the dynamo-the pump powers the dynamo, and the dynamo powers the pump.

Periodically, it just...stops.  The lava production ceases.  The dynamo does not run out of energy, yet somehow appears to be the cause, as breaking and replacing the dynamo restarts the system.

I know there was a precursor to this device: the magmatic engine, which apparently overheated quite easily.  However, the corresponding page for the magmatic dynamo, which I'm using, mentions nothing of that sort.

I've read that the ender-thermic pump is supposed to load the chunk it's on automatically, which brings up the question of whether the dynamo is being unloaded by accidentally straddling a chunk boundary.  It is not:

Those red lines indicate the chunk boundaries, and my entire setup is within the cobblestone structure you see, which is clearly all in a single chunk.

What's going on here?  A bug? Undocumented overheating?

There's a staircase that goes down and leads to some boxes and another door, but that door is not able to open. Is there a purpose to this room? Is there a way up to that ledge? It would seem weird for it to be there if it's for nothing.

So, in short, what is this second counter?

Picture included. Of course in the heat of the battle, but you'll get the idea.

texts: Does using redstone cause a slowdown when using a fill clock?

texts:
I'm working on some logic, using fill clocks to drive my command blocks.

I usually end up having to extend my circuit, and rather than adjust the fill clock command, I usually just put in some redstone dust.

My question is, does this add more load than extending the fill clock?

I know that when making a fill clock, you must use a solid block in place of the redstone block, so that lighting updates are not triggered.

Does redstone dust trigger a lighting update when it's switched?

texts:
So long story short I got attacked by a dragon and it landed directly in front of me.  I went to use "Unrelenting Force" to stun it, but forgot that I actually had "Whirlwind Sprint" (fully upgraded) equipped.  So my character sprinted straight through the dragon, and when I turned around to go back to the fight I saw the dragon keeling over, dead.  I did not land a single attack on the dragon.

I tried to repeat this intentionally with a second dragon, but it didn't seem to work (my character seemed to get forced off to the side instead of going straight through the dragon).

So I'm wondering, has anyone else killed a dragon using Whirlwind Sprint?  Is this an intentional gameplay element, or a bug, or did some other random thing that has nothing to do with my shout kill the first dragon?

Based on their advice (or to shut them up) I started playing with the shotgun, but I find that I never seem to use it - the minigun can usually shoot down most people attacking me.

What strategies should I be using to ensure that I'm using the shotguns potential?


texts: How to make fearless deadly stoic volatile prisoners do their time?

texts:
In Prison Architect, there is a particular nasty combination of traits that can make a prisoner essentially impossible to jail conventionally. It's a combination of the following:

Fearless making suppression using Armed guards or Snipers not work to control their violence.
Stoic making punishment (such as permanent lockdown or solitary) not work to suppress them either, or, alternatively, Gang Leader making permanent punishment a poor decision due to the rather large amount of tension this causes, leading to riots.
Volatile leading to violence even if all a prisoner's needs are met perfectly, and there are no targets for violence inciting them (e.g. Ex-cops and the like).
Deadly making any contact with guards, other prisoners, or other personnel when they decide to act up turn into murders with surprising regularity.
Bonus points for Tough which can cause Tasers to fail, making it more likely the prisoner gets in a few punches to abuse Deadly.

It is not that rare for a prisoner with a bad combo like this to show up. Special Legendary prisoners quite often tick all the boxes.
Each year in prison architect is, I believe, 5 days. Murder is punished with a 25-year sentence extension. AFAIK, prisoners cannot die (from old age, that is). This means a deadly prisoner should have, at most, a tantrum near any other human being and a successful crit roll once every 125 days, or they will rack up murders faster than they can serve time on them, never actually getting released.
Of course, it's trivial to engineer a situation where eventually the prisoner ends up killed. Walling them in or having them get repeatedly shot by freefire snipers or armed guards are both ways to achieve this. That's how I've been doing it lately, but it seems a bit off. I'm supposed to be running a prison, not a firing squad.
The real, proper solution to dealing with these murdermachines would be to somehow construct a situation where they get the minimum possible contact with other human beings. That is, give them their own personal canteen, yard, and cell, their personal cell block or PCB, and use remote doors to control their movement. Basically, handle them as you would handle a Velociraptor: Use only remotely controlled devices to dictate their movement, having supporting staff like janitors only enter their rooms when the prisoner is not present. Unfortunately, to handle the endless property destruction, the prison manager can't just setup the cell to gas the prisoner with tranquilizer or anything that convenient: they have to use these little AI units called 'guards'.
Said guards haven't got the memo that going anywhere near a dangerous inmate is a suicidal life choice. Instead of firing their tasers through the cell door at the inmate, guards often want to open said door (or, if it's a remote door, wait at the door for it to open or get smashed by the prisoner, who can, for some reason, punch out a thick solid metal door). Worse, after missing or getting their taser resisted, guards foolishly attempt to engage the deadly prisoner in melee.
Worse, staff won't consider closed remote doors as pathable, or realize that a remote door is about to be closed. Meaning that loads of expensive staff members get stuck at the door. Pressure sensors canont distinguish between staff and prisoners, so it's not like I can build them an emergency exit that doesn't also serve as an entrance. Nor is there a way to schedule the janitors, cooks, and repairmen to only enter the various rooms of the PCB at specific times so they don't get themselves trapped in there with the madperson. Nor is there any type of device that sends an ON/OFF signal when there is/isn't a prisoner in the room so that when the prisoner fails to obey the schedule, even if the staff would work, they can still end up trapped.
I've tried automated remote doors. Either I'm 'doing-it-wrong', but they just seem to cause more pain than they prevent without door control systems, which defeats the point.
Anyone ever got one of these prisoners to actually serve their sentence? Got any tips?

texts: How to turn off black and white screen on respawn in CS:GO?

texts:
In CS:GO, when player respawns (and are invincible for a second), the screen is black and white for a while and fills with normal colors after. I like to play dynamic game modes such as DeathMatch or GunGame, that's why I'm dying a lot and often. This feature is kinda annoying and hurts my eyes because the screen is changing colors a lot.

I'm wondering, is there some configuration command to turn it off? I was googling around but wasn't able to find one. Also, in response to some comments, I'm sure there is such an effect on respawn in CS:GO because I watched some streams on twitch and there is this thing everywhere, but it is not so noticeable because they are playing classic mode and die like once in few minutes. And there is a slight color fade on player respawn. Here are some screenshots from the moment I was killed and respawned:

I read somewhere that if you tip Moxxi 15,000$, you get a gun. I did so and I got a corrode gun.

However, I was thinking that I should have saved it for 50. Is there any way to get that gun to level 50 or can you get another gun from Moxxi at 50 anyway?


texts: Is there a way to get the Reeking Cave Unusual Gem before the associated main quest?

texts:
I want to get Prowler's Profit early in the game and I've been ignoring the main quest-line. In fact, I'm still on the quest after Unbound. I'm running the latest patches (and unofficial ones), so the Unusual Gem must be in the Reeking Cave. It seems the Reeking Cave can only be accessed (without Whirlwind Sprint) through the Thalmor Embassy, but the compound is walled off and the front gate is locked and can't be picked. There doesn't appear to be anyone outside of the walls, and I've read that nobody has the key anyway. I've tried coaxing some guards to come at me, but they won't open the gate.

Is it possible to get this Unusual Gem without Diplomatic Immunity? If so, how?

Update: I did find a way in, but I warn that it may be futile. I acquired the quest by reading the book in the chest, which is the only way to spawn the guards that are supposed to hold keys to the Reeking Cave door (because the other trigger doesn't spawn), but neither of the guards were holding keys to it. What a wild goose chase.
