texts: Metal Gear Solid 3 HD: Didn't get Fire camo?

texts:
I'm just playing through the awesome new HD collection on the 360. I've currently not killed anyone, including bosses, and I just (finally) beat The Fury... except even though I Stamina killed him, I don't seem to have the Fire camo in my inventory :(

Anyone know why? Where am I supposed to get it? Usually when you kill bosses you have to wander around until you find the stuff they've dropped. With The Fury there's an extended cut-scene where he turns into a fire beast thing. Eventually Snake runs out the exit and you finally regain control... So where do you get the Fire camo from?

Thanks for any help! I hope the game isn't glitched.


texts: Can every spell and enchanted item be found without buying them?

texts:
I don't want to pay for magic spells or enchanted items. I haven't bought anything but a house. I'm happy playing like this and I don't want to change it. I know that sooner or later I'll have to buy the master spells, but I don't want to buy any others.

Is it possible to find every single magic spell and enchanted item? Or are there items and spells that can only be acquired by paying for them?


texts: I've made a lot of promises. Am I expected to keep *all* of them?

texts:
I formed a tribe! Awesome! The saga of my glorious clan and its many HeroQuests will surely ring out for many years. When negotiating to form this tribe, I made many promises. Some of them, I know, were kept automatically, such as allowing a neighboring clan to build a tavern on my Tula. Others... I'm not so sure about. Most notably the promises I've made to honor various gods with annual sacrifices.

Do I need to manually perform these various rites annually, or is this handled automatically behind the scenes like other promises? If the former, is shrine/temple maintenance sufficient?


texts: "Cannot Resolve Hostname" when using Subdomain

texts:
A group of friends wanted a Minecraft server to play together on, so I went ahead and deployed a VPS, and directed an A record titled play to the server's public IP address. I connected to the server via SSH using play.coffeehousecode.com as the hostname, and didn't encounter anything out of the ordinary, so I started a Minecraft Server instance, and the logs showed no problems to report.

However, when trying to connect to the server using the Minecraft client, I receive an error stating that the Hostname couldn't be Resolved. I checked my DNS records to make sure everything checks out, and SSH-ed into the server again without a problem. When connecting to the server using it's public IP address, however, I can connect and play without a problem.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

texts: Does the Xbox 360 upscale classic Xbox games?

texts: When you run a classic XBox game on a 360, does the 360 automatically take advantage of its GPU to run the game at a higher resolution than the original, if you're on an HDTV? In other words, if I play Morrowind on my 360, will it look any sharper (and specifically, will objects be any easier to see) than if I did so on my classic XBox?


texts: How close should cities be built in Civ 5?

texts:
In Civ 4, it was easy to figure out how close to build cities to maximize my territory, because the number of tiles they could use were very limited. In Civ 5, cities can use many more tiles (more than they'll need until they're huge), so I'm wondering how close I should build my cities. Is building the maximum number of cities even a good strategy in Civ 5 (as it was in previous Civs), or should I build a few giant ones far apart?

Probably related to this question:

  Is there a limit to the number of tiles a city can use in Civ 5?


texts: Where are the categories in my Steam library saved? Can I recover them if Steam forgets them?

texts:
I have enough games in my Steam library that I prefer to organize them into seven or eight categories.  This is especially handy for things like those bundled Mac versions of Civ (no Macs in the house) since I can just mark them with a "Not for me" category name and hide them from the big list.

Unfortunately, Steam will sometimes forget all about those categories, leaving you back at the alphabetized list: no Favorites, no nothing.  It's very annoying and I really don't want to have to reset all the category names.  What I'd really like to be able to do is get the configuration file from the desktop machine and copy it to the laptop which has just forgotten all of its categories.

So, where are those configurations stored?  Will Steam pick the categories up if I give it the correct configuration file(s)?

texts: Do Demon Hunter sentries benefit from Big Bad Voodoo?

texts:
Do the attack speed and damage buffs from a Witch Doctor's Big Bad Voodoo spell (Slam Dance rune) affect the sentries of a Demon Hunter?

I have never heard a clear answer on whether or not sentries count as pets; if they do, they should be buffed when the caster is standing in BBV's radius. If not, are they buffed when the sentry itself is in the radius?

If it matters, I'm playing D3:ROS on Xbox One, using patch 2.4.1 or newer.

texts: What can I do with artifacts I don't plan to use?

texts: While playing, I often end up owning more artifact weapons than I need. Since I can't #twoweapon with two artifact weapons, I really don't need more than one at any time. The wiki page about artifacts says that I should not sell them because the shopkeepers don't pay much for them. I would just carry them around, but they are kind of heavy and it's not worth being burdened for a weapon I'm not going to use. Is there anything useful I can do with them besides sticking them in a box somewhere for the rest of the game?


texts: Just started at RimWorld and I see an objective asking me to unforbid my resources. I have a ton of forbidden steel lying around and I was wondering if there is anyway to simply unforbid all steel? Or do I have to manually unforbid each one?

texts: Do summoned "allies" damage count towards the threshold for experience and loot?

texts:
In this question: What are the requirement to gain experience in Guild Wars 2 when killing a mob?, I learned that there is a threshold damage you need to deal to a monster to get experience and a chance at loot from that monster.

I was curious if summoned "allies" damage count towards this. Some example are:

The ghostly weapons that the guardians can summon
The snow wurm which is a norn only skill.
Mistfire Wolf that can be summon by everyone who bought the Digital Deluxe and above.
Parrots that have 5% chance of being summon with the Superior Rune of the Pirates.

There are a bunch of other summons. I find that they sometimes stray and attack their own targets, particular the parrot. If i did not hit the monster with any of my weapon skills but the monster was killed or assisted by my summon allies, do I gain experience or have a chance of getting loot?

Perhaps the allies summoned from slot skills are treated differently from the allies summon by runes. The parrots that are summon by the pirate runes are surprisingly strong and can take down a regular level 80 monster by itself. I don't believe (but I could be wrong) that I am receiving any experience from that. Nor have I yet to receive loot from it.


texts: Help reinstalling Skyrim on a different computer

texts: I bought Skyrim and originally installed it on my sisters computer because mine was not present.

So I retrieve my account, and it stops installing. I have looked everywhere for help, but I can't figure it out. Pleaseeee help!

texts: The Tangled Wii videogame has music distinct from that of the movie. It's actually quite good music, and I'm interested in finding a copy of it. Unfortunately, my attempts to Google for it are foiled by the fact that Google keeps assuming that I must actually be searching for the movie soundtrack. Who was the composer of the music in question?


texts: I've read that there is a type of luck called "love luck". In the article, it states that love luck either makes it easier to increase friendship with opposite-sex villagers, or that special conversations with opposite-sex villagers are more likely (if you have 'good'love luck). I have yet to witness the effect of this luck, but I would like to see some examples of this "love luck" to see if it's worth the 500 Bells that Katrina requests to have your fortune read.

texts: What is the cap for equipment modifiers?

texts:
When judging equipment, whether a drop or in the Auction house, it's often best to know how far the item is from being "optimal." For example, a +intelligence +vitality ring may have +40 of each, but the cap for the modifier at the level of the ring may allow for up to +65 of each.

Is there a table or list of these caps? Level 60 stat modifiers would be good, but a list of modifiers by level would be excellent.


texts: Is Runaan's Hurricane worth it on Kennen or Caitlyn?

texts: Runaan's Hurricane, if it hits extra targets, counts as hits for Kennen's W passive and Caitlyn's headshot passive. This increases the frequency of stuns and extra damage on both champions. You also get a 70% attack speed bonus from the item. Typically, hurricane is not seen as viable. But in these cases, is it worth getting over other items?


texts: Double stack of sticky piston, top wont pull?

texts:
version 1.12

Only not extended pistons can be pulled back, that I understand. So the top one needs to retract earlier, than when the bottom retracts it will bring the top one. That works, BUT:

Even if I manage the timing so that the top piston is pulled back correctly by the bottom one, when its pulled back only the piston comes back, not the block on top of it.

I have 3 repeaters at the bottom one, so the delay is enormous..:
Than when I retract:
When the bottom retracts, the top one have been retracted much earlier..so I guess its impossible? Im not much experienced with minecraft.

Is that intended behavior? Is there any workaround?


texts: Xbox One S vs. Xbox One X - multimedia / user interface performance

texts:
I used to have an Xbox One S, which was, at times, rather sluggish when navigating through menus and using Kodi to stream content from my PC.
Does the Xbox One X fare better at such tasks thanks to its higher GPU clock and much faster and larger RAM?


texts: Are there an infinite number of enemies?

texts:
Just trying out WarFrame, and it seems that on most missions the number of enemies is literally infinite. Areas that I have cleared out are repopulated when I get back to them. If I don't re-clear the areas, I'm attached from behind.

Is this indeed the case - are the enemies just boring distractions? Should I just ignore them, and kill only those that stand in the way? It's not like they're actually doing that much damage anyway.

I know the tutorial is rather weak, if not outright misleading.

It stayed there for a quite long time. Not sure for how long, but certainly several minutes.
There was no minimap icon at that position
I was not in a platoon/squad at this time

texts:
Occasionally in Dustforce I'll come up against a tall wall with crud fairly high up where  a double-jump + a little wall run will just barely get me into it, but I lose momentum and fall.  Sometimes I'm able to get up with enough speed to keep running, but I don't know what I'm doing other than getting frustrated at the controller.

When I'm successful, it seems like I can hop off and on the wall quickly, but when I actually try to jump off and on I can't air-jump back on and I just fall.

How do you go up tall walls (not shafts where you can ping-pong back and forth)?

I understand monsters only spawn in a 9 x 9 grid of chunks centered on the player, and I assume they stay around while they remain within that distance of you. But do they despawn as soon as you move away from them? Or do they remain? If so what (if anything) causes them to despawn? Are the rules any different for passive mobs?

Will running far away from an area and then coming right back clear it of monsters?


texts: Is resource cost adjusted with weapon speed in diablo 3?

texts:
Is is now clear that spell damage AND casting speed are both based on weapon damage and speed.

Let's take an example:
Suppose I have a wizard and I want to calculate how much damage I can do with, say, meteor.
For simplicity, let's assume that meteor does 200% weapon damage and costs 60 arcane power.

Scenario 1: I equip an sword with 100 damage and 1 attack per second. I can cast 1 meteor every second, each dealing 200 damage. I have a total damage output of 200dps for a cost of 60 arcane power per second.
Scenario 2: I equip a dagger with 50 damage and 2 attacks per second. I can cast 2 meteors every second, each dealing 100 damage. I have a total damage output of 200dps, but now at the cost of 120 arcane power per second.

My question is: is arcane power adjusted on the weapon speed?
And side question: for channeling spells, will the damage output also be the same?

It seems clear to me that if you want to play channeling spells (like disintegration), slow weapons really look better because the arcane cost with a weapon half as fast will be half as much.

Edit: I've seen this post: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4662476854. There are a lot of strong arguments about why wizards should prefer slow weapons.


texts: How are favorite foods determined in Miitopia?

texts:
In Miitopia, you’re able to feed characters different foods collected as enemy drops, which increase the characters’ stats depending on the food. How much those stats increase depends on how much the character likes these foods, ranging from absolutely hating the food (seems to give about 50% of normal increase) to absolutely loving the food (seems to give about 150% of normal increase).

What determines what foods a character likes or dislikes? Does it depend on the job, or some other characteristic of the character, or is it randomly generated?

texts:
Suddenly, in the middle of playing, the sound in Minecraft stops. Tried F3 + S/T, and to top it all off, this is what the volume mixer looks like (Sorry for the non-English language).

Minecraft version 1.10.2

Using Windows 10 (Did not have this problem before windows 10 update)

I am using a school pc, so specs are not great, but Minecraft runs fine.

While researching if people had a similar problem, I found no one whose sound suddenly stopped mid game. Also, I haven't seen anyone with a volume mixer like this. It is constantly at max, not changing at all, and no sound at all. (Other sounds work fine)

Restarting my PC fixes the issue, but only temporally. Any ideas?

texts: Crime reported right after Paying a Social Call is marked as done

texts:
In Red Dead Redemption 2, I just played the chapter 2 mission Paying a Social Call. When I finished it, right after grabbing the money from the chimney and then opening the locked box inside, I got a wanted status, getting the message “crime reported.”

What is up? This happened once, so I re-did the mission, thinking I messed up. It happened again, this time a little bit after leaving the cabin.

What’s going on? Is this supposed to happen, or am I doing something wrong? Is my game glitching?


texts: In Xcom: Enemy Unknown (2012), can I change tactical game saves to modify loadout?

texts:
I just started the Temple Ship assault (the last mission), and I'd like to modify the loadout of one of my soldiers.  Unfortunately, I don't have a save I can rollback to before the squad left the base, so I can't use the normal loadout editing.  It was a dumb mistake made at 3 in the morning that I left with the wrong loadout, so I really don't mind "cheating" to fix it.

I've looked for mods like ToolBoks, but it appears to be long-since outdated and unsupported.  I'm not aware of any others that may help.

I've also unlocked the developer shell / console, and have played with it some... but it looks like most of the commands for giving weapons or items are for the strategy-side of the game.  If there's a command that can help, I'm all ears.

I'm also mildly comfortable with a hex editor, so as long as I know where to look to change the values in the save file (and what to change them to), I'd be fine.

So does anyone know how I might accomplish changing the loadout of a soldier once a mission is in progress?

However, it's not working. It only spawns one creeper with no custom effects. What's wrong?

texts: How do I decide which weapons should be equipped, sold later, discarded, or kept and upgraded?

texts:
I would like to know good strategies with weapons I equip or keep in my inventory. Since I have a limited amount if items I can keep in my inventory, some weapons would have to be discarded once they're in low condition in favor of a new one or should be sold later. (I'm currently playing as Xian Mei.)

What's a good way of knowing if the weapon I see or have is a 'keeper' or a weapon that should be discarded as soon as it is not needed or once it's in low condition, or if it's a 'sell later' type of weapon?
Weapons will break down (get to low condition). Also, I will occasionally have to throw weapons to take care of enemies like Suiciders. Checking out the inventory and switching a weapon to/from the inventory won't stop the game, so I have to properly choose which weapons are equipped. (edit: Turns out this was due to not playing in singleplayer mode.) What's a good way of deciding if a weapon should be equipped or kept in the inventory?
Upgrading a weapon costs money. What weapons should I be upgrading or not upgrading (and hence, should sell or discard)?
I'm currently playing as Xian Mei, a sharp weapons specialist. If playing as her, should I bother with blunt weapons? At what instances will it be recommended to keep a blunt weapon?

Note: I have not played the first Dead Island game.


texts: How to make sense of the Cave Story+ soundtrack in the Humble Indie Bundle 4 release?

texts:
HIB4 has recently added soundtracks for the seven games to the pack. The sound track I opened first was Cave Story's, but... it's... kind of a mess really.

I've been trying to match up the filenames with this canonical ordering (kindly suggested by the always awesome Grace Note), but the file names just don't match and the release doesn't come with a playlist with some kind of logical ordering.

So... what's the listening order for this release?

texts: Can I start a new single-player Ark game and save the old one?

texts:
I love my current Ark Survival Evolved game, but I would love to start a new single-player game. Is there anyway I can start a new Ark single-player game and save the old one.
P.S., this has to be on the Island, not on Scorched Earth or the Center.


texts: What's the Deal with Seath the Scaleless?

texts:
I'm not referring to how to beat Seath or how to find him, as this question has already been discussed in great detail.

However, I still find this to be the most mysterious canon in all of Dark Souls.

As far as I know, the only actual piece of dialogue that talks about Seath is one sentence, right at the beginning of the game -

"And Seath the Scaleless betrayed his own, and the dragons were no more"

Has anyone dug up any evidence to the following?

How did Seath betray the dragons?
Did he lose his scales before or after slaying the dragons?
Is there any connection between Priscilla and Seath, other than the fact that she's almost definitely his daughter due to the fact that Seath is the only albino dragon in the whole cannon (Who is her mother?)
How did Seath become cursed?
Why does he live in the Duke's Archives? (It's been suggested that Seath is the Duke)


texts: Why won't my squads patrol my patrol route?

texts: I've just set up my first patrol route but I'm having trouble getting my dwarves to patrol it. It is a simple two waypoint route across the top of my realm but squads assigned to patrol it just go to the second waypoint and stand there. Do I need to do something special to get them to walk back and forth? What else could be wrong?


texts: How to calculate player health percentage?

texts:
I have created the following objectives:

health - health
health1 - dummy (used for health*100)
healthPerc - dumny (used for health1/20)

The only problem I'm having is that when I do: /scoreboard players operation @p health1 *= 100 health, it says Set [health1] for Username to 0 (having 20/20 hearts)

How do I do this?


texts:
I registered account in Legue of Legends. I was not asked at which server I want to create account. That account allows me only to login "EU Nordic & East" server.

SOLVED: I found the place Where I can switch region on registration page.


texts: Are spiders ever worth it to trade for coal? They cost scaffolds, which seems pretty expensive. (I'm mid-game I guess; science 125K.)


texts: Why can't I create a QSP in Dwarf Fortress?

texts:
So I've just started playing dwarf fortress. I designated a stockpile to store woods in order, and then removed that stockpile. After that, I marked all woods in the rectangle area as Dump items using d-b-d, and created a single-tile zone near the entrance.

However, dwarves don't react to my order, and all woods remain unmoved. I've checked and all dwarves have Refuse Hauling labor enabled. What's wrong?

As you can see, all woods has been marked as Dump.

This is the quantum stockpile I want to create.

These dwarves should be hauling woods, but they aren't.


texts: How can I make the sensitivity reasonable?

texts:
I was having a mouse lag issue in Dead Space, and I followed the useful instructions here which completely solved that problem.

It introduced another problem, however, which is that the mouse sensitivity is very, very low even when the sensitivity bar in the options is turned all the way up. Luckily I have an expensive gaming mouse and I can increase the sensitivity on the mouse to make it playable, but it's still too low even after doing that. When I right click to aim, sweeping the mouse over a foot turns the view about 30 degrees.

It's more playable than it was with the mouse lag, but this is a problem too. Is there any way to remove mouse lag but still have reasonably high sensitivity?


texts: How does climbing ledges via the ropes work?

texts:
I'm still having some issues with the new Ninja Rope physics. My biggest problem is I can't seem to reliably climb up over a ledge. According to the tutorial you just hold right/left in the direction of the ledge. This sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, and the worm seems to take a widely variable amount of time before jumping up onto the ledge.

Is there some trick to this? Do I need to be a certain distance to the ledge to be able to jump? Do I need to wait a certain amount of time or what? If it matters, I'm mostly concerned with climbing ledges where my rope is attached just at/below the cliff edge. If I'm attached above the cliff I can usually swing over and onto the ledge with a jump.

texts: +1 Damage on some attacks against Treasure Guardians?

texts:
It seems like some of my attacks against the Outlaw Rifleman and the Outlaw Pistolero deal 1 more damage than they should. Below I will include some of the numbers from the game:

Outlaw Rifleman HP before fighting: 270
Villager Ranged Damage: 3
Outlaw Rifleman Resists: 0.3 of ranged damage

Expected Damage:
270 – int(3 * (1 – 0.3)) = 268

Outlaw Rifleman HP after one attack: 267
270 – 267 = 3
Outlaw Rifleman HP after two attacks: 265
267 – 265 = 2
Outlaw Rifleman HP after three attacks: 263
265 – 263 = 2

When I use the Hand Attack from a Villager, instead of the Ranged Attack, I get the following results:

Outlaw Rifleman HP before fighting: 270
Villager Hand Damage: 10
Outlaw Rifleman Resists: none against Hand Damage

Expected Damage:
270 – 10 = 260

Outlaw Rifleman HP after one attack: 260
270 – 260 = 10
Outlaw Rifleman HP after two attacks: 250
260 – 250 = 10
Outlaw Rifleman HP after three attacks: 240
250 – 240 = 10

My question is, is this intended or is it a bug?

texts: In Battlefield 3 what can slowly damage my tanks?

texts:
Sometimes my tank starts taking damage and I honestly cannot figure out what the heck causes it. Immediately you want to think its a Repair Tool, but it's not, because I literally get out of my tank and physically walk around it and nothing and nobody is there AND my tank keeps taking damage while I'm looking around. As well as inside the tank proximity scanning shows somebody near. The next thing I think of is a rotary wing aircraft shooting at me with it's cannon, which CAN happen but drains a tank's health much faster than what's happening to me.

This is pretty slow-- at about one or two percent per second-- and a Repair Tool is much faster, but still that's not possible, because it has to be right up against the vehicle, and the damage is different than a Repair Tool, much slower.

Sometimes this happens around enemy positions such as a flag that they are holding. Other times, I'm pretty distant from any flags when this happens. I can physically get out, look around, and even look for rotary wing or fixed wing aircraft shooting at me from a long distance. It's also not possible that a heavy caliber machine gun is doing this, because that's what I originally thought, but just today this happened and I absolutely know that nobody was shooting at me with a heavy MG, or anything else for that matter.

This truly puzzles me and I cannot figure it out. Like I said, I have literally gotten out of my vehicle a dozen times when this has started happening and searched around and can't find anybody or anything doing this, including a little EOD because this continues damaging my tank when I step out, and once its destroyed, nothing is around me.

The only remote defense is quickly moving away from the area, but that is never 100% and it usually kills me due to being damaged and slow at that point. Also this phenomenon seems to start when my tank's health is low, I was at 25% when it started happening today.

So what can be doing this slow damage to my tanks?

texts: How do I use my hacking tools effectively?

texts:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution has a slightly more complex system for hacking computers and alarms than the original. Relying mostly on guesswork worked alright until I entered the Detroit PD station, at which point the network graphs have started getting more complex. Furthermore, I have a Nuke virus that I'm not entirely sure when to use.

What are some good guidelines for when to straight up capture as fast as I can? When should I use my Nuke virus, Slow worm, and Fortify command to perform more complex maneuvers?
How can I keep the system from finding my origin before I reach the goal?


texts:
I have a spare 120GB SSD kicking around and I was wondering if plugging it in and downloading my Steam games to it would have any performance benefit? Currently I have a 240GB SSD with both Windows 10 and all of my Steam games.

I can't complain about performance but I was just wondering if it would make any difference.

EDIT

More context #1:

Data loss is not a problem - this is a gaming-only PC with no persistent data - not even game saves. I have a separate machine for work.

More context #2:

Lets focus on games like Arma 3 and GTA, which load the world data as the player explores it.

texts: How can I upgrade a MEC in Xcom: Enemy Within on iPhone?

texts:
I've built a MEC in Enemy Within, but I'm struggling to see how I can upgrade it. When I go to Engineering > Build/Upgrade MEC and then select a MEC on the left hand side of the screen, the area on the right of the screen seems to show an upgrade path. However, the two upgrades have small padlock icons and say "LOCKED", with "This tech upgrade requires further research" written below.

How can I do the research to unlock this upgrade? I've tried all sorts of things in the lab and the foundry, but have had no luck so far.

texts: Diablo 3 runs on integrated graphics, but gets stuck on dedicated graphics

texts:
I would like to play Diablo III, and I have installed it on my laptop with Windows 10. I have a computer with 2 graphic cards. The first one is a low quality Intel embedded with the motherboard, the other one is an AMD Radeon HD 5000.

I was asked to install Battle.net, so I did, as well as DirectX. I have also installed the newest AMD drivers.

Using the integrated Intel GPU, the game runs, but at a really low quality.
Using the AMD GPU, the game gets stuck at the opening. The screen turns black, and there is just a cursor and music.

Why does it run with the integrated Intel GPU, and what do I need to do to run it with the dedicated AMD GPU?

I am currently getting into the Fate/Stay Night anime, and learned that it originated in a 2004 visual novel of the same title.

While the anime is good so far, I am interested in playing the original visual novel, but I don't speak Japanese, so the versions I found so far are worthless to me.

I saw that there was a fan made translation patch, but I would rather play an official translation if it's available.

And so, has an English version of Fate/Stay Night been officially released?

  "Chooses whether to show the bobbing when walking."

But that's very unclear. What is "bobbing" or "head bobbing" and how do they affect the games I play?


texts:
I recently switched internet providers (Telenet, in Belgium) and I want to be able to connect my DS Lite to my new router (which they also provided me with).
It's a "CPN / SVG6540E" combined router/modem with wifi and EURODOCSIS 3.0 technology.

When I add a new connection in my DS Lite (through a game with wifi), I'm able to see the SSID of my router, which shows on top, meaning it has the strongest connection from where I'm standing. But when I click on it and start a connections test, it gives me either error 51300 or 51302.

I already checked out the Nintendo error guide, which tells me that the password I entered on my DS Lite isn't the same as the password of the router. I had set it to WEP, because it can't handle WPA yet.

So what I did was turn off security of my router altogether, thinking that would at least clear that error message. But no go. It still gives me error 51300 or 51302.

I'm at a loss here, and there are some wifi events coming up soon. What am I doing wrong?

update 1:
I'm fairly positive it has something to do with the router, more than with the ds lite, because I can connect to the network at my parent's home without a hitch. I also just tried to connect my girlfriend's ds lite to the network here, also without any success.
I've already contacted the ISP and they told me that, since I can connect perfectly fine with other devices, there shouldn't be any problem..

update 2:
I just tried connecting with my wii, just to be sure other nintendo devices could connect. Connection was successful.

How do I know when the rage ends other than spamming 'v' until the next net is thrown?
Is there any other effects to rage? So far I noticed the Beast will regain some health but are there any other effects?

texts: Is it possible to beat the Metroid Prime 1 boss without losing energy?

texts:
Out of all the bosses I've ever fought, I've had the most trouble with this SOB.

I can manage to get to the 2nd form where it turns into a floating jelly thing, but I always end up losing even though I manage to nearly kill it each time.

It seems to be reviving itself somehow, is this correct? I know I'm supposed to use the hyperbeam when standing on the phazon but this is hard to do when so much is happening.

Can someone basically give me a good strategy for beating this boss (both forms) along with the metroids it throws out in the 2nd form? I usually can't avoid losing energy to it in the 1st form, then by the 2nd form I'm so battered that I'm basically fighting to survive.

Also, should I have a certain number of energy tanks before attempting this boss?

texts: What is the true shiny rate in Sword and Shield?

texts:
Since the Games launch Pokemon Sword and Shield got a prediction of how it's shiny encounter chance looks like.
Thanks to data miner Kurt we got this table on Twitter to look at and figure out the shiny chance.

Base chance, since most of the games is 1:4096, but stuff like catch-series and numbers encountered did always influence the odds in an positive favor for the player.

Now since yesterday several news pages started to claim the best chance to encounter an shiny without the shiny charm is 7/4096 e.g. 1:585.

But from what I read you only have a chance of 33% to get a reroll which would provide the additional 6:4096.
So the correct math should be: 1/4096 + 0.33 * 6/4096 which alludes to a chance of roughly 1:1365.

So my question here is: Did I misread or not understand the twitter post? Is the chance of an additional reroll supposed to be another extra reroll after the 7:4096 you get at the start of an encounter (which would still not add up since the chance would be even better)?

To clarify the chances to get a shiny with an shiny charm equipped are calculated as

3/4096 + 0.33 * 6/4096 for at least 500 defeated and a streak of 25+ Pokemon of one species defeated in a row then.

This would mean, the best chance with a shiny charm is around 1:819.

texts: iPad mini 2 settings for local MCPE (0.12.1) server

texts:
My son and I have a problem creating and joining a local MCPE (0.12.1) server with his new iPad mini 2 (iOS 8.4.1 (12H321)).
I know this might be a tough one to "break" - Cause there's A LOT of settings to poke around with on the iPad.

I have an old iPad 1 (OS 5.1.1 (9B206)) and a Samsung Galaxy Tab (don't know which one) both tablets have MCPE 0.12.1 installed.
These two tabs have no problem creating/hosting/joining a local server - But the Mini can't see or join a server created with the above tablets. But! sometimes we're able to get it to show and join/host a server right after it has been rebooted - But after a minute or two it disconnects.

Wifi signal is very good - "Local Server Multiplayer" is enabled on all tablets - We're also using the correct IP's/ports.

Therefore I think it has to do with some of the settings on the Mini.

So the question is: Which settings is NEEDED AS A MINIMUM to be enabled/disabled on the Mini to be able to host/join a local MCPE (0.12.1) server??

texts: Does destroying your only sleeping bag when logged out cause death?

texts:
Last night, I was in my wooden shelter with a wooden door, cooking some chicken. A couple guys saw my fire and started hitting my door with what sounded like basic stones. I grabbed my meager amount of loot from my storage box and logged off for the night (it was late and fighting them would have gotten me nothing).

When I logged in this morning, I spawned in a random location with no gear.

Did this happen because they destroyed my only sleeping bag? Was my character still in the game after I had logged out and they killed me? I assume it would have taken them another 2-5 minutes to break through the door.

This occurred on Feb 6, 2014 (in case the build version matters).

texts:
I have been save-scumming myself greater counterattack in order to experiment with the effectiveness of bribes in the Assembly. However at some point I didn't have enough Influence to even start the vote. I thought I had loaded the wrong file, then I noticed...

What's influence, and why is it randomized?


texts: How do I duplicate jackal model tag in Halo PC campaign without exception errors?(Not Custom Edition)

texts:
I'm trying to replace the single green jackal shield in the campaign with yellow and blue shields like it was in the original xbox version. And the way I tried to do that was by duplicating the characters\jackal\jackal model tag.
What I did was open and expand the map in question in eschaton 0.8.1, and open (not expand), a second map to extract the tag from. So I extract the jackal model tag from the opened map, then import it into the expanded map with "do not import duplicates" unchecked.

I then rebuilt the map with the duplicate tag, which is assigned a plus sign to differentiate it from the original, including its dependencies.
Then I reopened the map in eschaton and clicked on the jackal major biped tag and swapped its model to the duplicated one. I then opened up halo map tools v3.5 and injected a blue shield texture to the original bitmap, and a yellow texture to the duplicate with the plus sign.

Next I tested it out by playing the campaign, which works perfectly with one glaring problem, it crashes during the cutscenes and gives me an exception error. Every level I do this to crashes during the cutscenes. I even expanded the base map that I took the tag from and renamed the tag and its dependencies so there wouldn't be duplicates, but the game still crashes during cutscenes.

Is my method just flawed? Is there another way to do this? Or is this not possible in vanilla Halo PC without exceptions?

Again this is Halo PC, not Custom Edition, and I'm trying to have two colors of jackal shield, yellow and blue, like in the xbox version of Halo CE.

Update: it seems I answered my own problem; I used an earlier version of eschaton(0.7.2) to rebuild the map, and it didn't crash!
If you want to successfully open and expand/rebuild campaign maps, use eschaton 0.7.2 or maybe 0.8.

texts: Nvidia Optimus Not letting me start games

texts:
I have a packard bell gaming laptop.
Its an i5 quad core,
12 gigs of ram.
and a gtx 750m

The problem is that it has nvidia optimus(for those who dont know, Nvidia optimus is a feature that lets the intel hd graphics be the primary graphics processor while not using heavy 3D demanding apps and games.

Its good all round so far, the problem is that i just bought daylight (super keen) for $15 and the game wont run because when it checks for system specs, it uses the the intel gpu(which doesnt support dx11 apparently) instead of the gtx card.

Please help :(

texts: What are typical WoW quest rewards for lvl-90/100 char?

texts:
Blizzard proposes to buy subscription for 40000 gold, I wonder how hard is to get it. With my lvl 70 char I can get ~5 gold per quest (quest reward + rare expensive items, which quest mobs drop), or ~50 gold per dungeon (if I sold useless stuff, which I got there). So it is quite hard to earn subscription here.
(Yes, I know, stuff cost more if you sell it at auction, but this feels like unstable solution for me, you never know when you cell something and when you lose the bail)

So I would like to know what are these values WoW quest rewards for lvl-90 and lvl-100 char: average gold per quest and per dungeon?

texts: Controller not working on RWBY: Grimm Eclipse

texts: I am using a Logitech Chillstream, which uses XInput drivers as any Xbox (or Xbox style) controller. However, only the left thumb stick works in-game. The store page claims that the game has full controller support. My controller is basically an Xbox controller with a fan, I've used it on an Xbox and it works perfectly and I've never encountered a game that would only recognize analog input and not button inputs. Since it's an early-access game I can understand some problems, but I'm not sure if it's a problem with the controller or the game has weird controller support. Is there any information on controller support or a fix, which will allow me to use my controller?

texts: How can I preserve a Jungle that was generated with Corruption inside it?

texts:
In my world, the Jungle was generated with multiple large veins of Corruption running right down the center of it, as well as throughout the Underground Jungle. I'm interested in preserving as much of my Jungle as possible as I transition into Hardmode, and would like to take whatever steps I can to help protect it beforehand. I know that I can create an artificial Jungle if needed, but I'm playing on a large world so I'd like to preserve the large naturally-occurring Jungle that I already have, if possible.

I know that it's possible to "inoculate" an Underground Jungle in early Hardmode by deliberately spreading Hallow around it before the Corruption has a chance to reach it, since Corruption can't overwrite Hallow. However, I am unsure whether that technique is applicable since the Corruption already exists inside my Jungle. I also know that it's possible (though laborious) to un-corrupt land that has been taken over by the Corruption, but I'd greatly prefer to prevent the Corruption from spreading any further, rather than having to do damage control afterwards. The existence of the Corruption that's already there doesn't bother me, either, I just don't want it to get any worse.

Are there any simple steps I can take (pre-Hardmode) to ensure that my Jungle isn't fully taken over by the Corruption once Hardmode starts? (Preferably ones that involve less effort than manually excising the interloping Corruption block-by-block. :))


texts: Far Cry 3 Online Multiplayer Never Finds Other Players

texts: I bought Far Cry 3, off Steam, when it came out with the intention of playing online with my friends. At the time my computer was running Windows 8, and I was only ever able to get a single game to play online before it stopped working. Assuming it was related to the game not officially supporting Windows 8, I shelved the game until I could come back to it later. I recently came back to it, my computer now running Windows 8.1 with the same issues. My computer has gone through a build and has also seen a new motherboard (unrelated). The router between the computer and the internet has also been replaced. I don't really know what else to try, but I'd like to be able to play the game I bought. Ubisoft forums have been less than helpful.

texts: Unable to finish the Memories sub-event?

I have already triggered the post-content quest Memories. According to various guides, I have completed all steps but the last in which I visit Ventuswill's room where a cutscene with the Guardians should play. However, the cutscene just won't trigger whatsoever! Is this a bug, or is there another factor that should be considered that's required to finish this event?

For clarification, these are the steps I've found in various guides. This text comes from [this walkthrough], and shows to have the same described steps [in this guide] on the Rune Factory wiki:

  1: Day 1: Visit flower shop when Amber and Dylas are there for
  scene 2: Day 2: Visit clinic for scene with Dolce and Pico
  3. Day 3: Visit the Inn for a scene with Barrett and Leon
  4. Day 4: Visit Venti's spot for a scene
  5. Day 5: Visit the Inn for scene with Raven and Dolce
  6. Day 6: Visit Venti's spot for scene with Guardians, tell them you want to    help and are ready, see scene with Arthur and Kiel, go to

texts: Test if there is a minimum amount of mobs within a radius without a scoreboard?

texts:
Minecraft 1.12.2

I want to create a re-spawn system for the enemies in the different map areas. I could use a counter on a scoreboard with an armor stand as the entity but with all the areas I have in my map I think it would cause lag.

For example:

I want 5 zombies in an area of 20 block, the player comes and kills 2 of them. The player leaves. The system re-spawns the dead mobs making a total of 5 again.

I know how to test if the player left the area:

/testfor @a[r={radius}]

But what I don't know how to test for the minimum amount of enemies without a scoreboard i can't make it.

I tried the Count modifier in the selector but I realized that is not how it works. I tried something like this:

/testfor @e[type={entity},r={radius},c={amount}]

but it would activate when there was only 1.

In the end:

Is there a way too test for a minimum amount of mobs in a certain radius without a scoreboard?

texts: Conditions to play co-op campaign in StarCraft 2

texts:
I started playing StarCraft 2 back in november 2017 as it became free to play.

I am enjoying the game so far, but it looks like I am unable to play the co-op missions. Maybe it's because noone is queueing for the same difficulty, for the same map (I chose "Random" to make it easier), maybe it's because I'm launching it alone, or maybe it's because my internet is so bad (I have like 300ms average ping on multiplayer)

In short, there's just the "Loading" number who doesn't rise.

So, in order to play the co-op missions, should I try inviting a friend into a party or my internet is just unable to handle it?


texts: How do you ensure your workers live near their jobs?

texts:
I've been playing off and on for a bit. I fully understand the "re-assign all" concept, and have used it many times before. Maybe I didn't really scrutinize hard enough in the past, but this time I tried using the pathing tool to see where my workers were taking up residence after reassigning. For some reason I have workers either choosing locations WAY out of the way (I had a few fishers/foresters choosing to live in areas that made no sense), or apparently choosing a "close by" job, only to link to a location far away (Such as fishers next to fishery A working at fishery B which is really far away, and the ones next to fishery B working at fishery A, again, being really far away).

I've toggled jobs and done as much as I know to try and remedy this, but I keep having this problem. I'm really discouraged from playing because of this, as I already felt that the "manual reassignment" was a ridiculous waste of time micromanaging. Now I see that it doesn't even work properly.

To note, I've made sure that I've had at least 1 house for every 2 workers I intend to have at a job. I've accounted for the fact that sometimes a house is inhabited by 1 person. In my situation, laborers MUCH closer to the target profession are being overlooked when the jobs are assigned.

One thing I've considered is that maybe assigned citizens are taken from their ACTUAL proximity to the job site, instead of their home? It seems pretty likely that the professions are consolidated, instead of each building having individual staffing logic, considering the nonsensical mix-up of my fisheries.

Has anyone else had a problem with this? Is this game even being updated anymore? It's a great game, with such a seemingly minor flaw in AI, or at least a lack of ensuring that bad AI can be effectively micromanaged. It would be a shame if this is as good as it gets.


texts: I want more hardmode metals than just 3!

texts: I have broken like fifty (exaggeration) crimson alters in my world and I only keep getting the same three metals palladium, orichalcum, and titanium. I know there are other metals, but It just keeps blessing my world with the same three metals. I want the ores cobalt, mythril, adamantite, and chlorophyte. How can I get these different ores and why does my world keep giving me the same metals every time I break a crimson alter? Are some of these ores only on the mobile version or can I get them all on the pc version? I also have another question, how come every time I make a world I always get crimson why do I never get corruption?

I'm trying to enter commands in the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft on an XBox One, but I want to use the keyboard on my Windows 10 machine so I can paste commands in bulk.  (I'm trying to clear out a large area using the /fill command).  I seem to recall doing this at one point right after the Bedrock Edition came out, but now I can't remember how.

I have tried both the XBox app on Windows 10 in streaming mode, which seems to ignore my keyboard input, and XBox One Glass, which only listens to "A", "B", "X", and "Y" in remote mode.


texts:
I just recently picked up ESO a few weeks ago during the free-to-play time. I'm enjoying it but I am/was having problems with picking locks.

So I started looking at the tutorials for advice, and they all suggest that you can use lockpicks over and over again until they break. But in practice, it seems that every time I try to open a chest I lose a lockpick. They are not breaking. They just aren't in my inventory anymore.

So was there a recent-ish change where whether you succeed or fail, each attempt to open a chest uses up a lockpick? Or is my character somehow bugged?

If it makes a difference, I'm playing on a PS4 with the Elsweyr collectors edition.

Is this what the Battle Box is used for? Why couldn't I battle with the Pokemon in it?

texts:
Can a hero have multiple instances of vulnerable, each increasing damage done to that hero by 25%? I assumed you were either vulnerable or not vulnerable, based on how it is currently displayed. But the few places I have found where people discussed this online seem to think that it does.

For example, if Jaina takes Northern Exposure, and Sylvanas takes Cold Embrace, and then both use the corresponding ability on an enemy at the same time, does that enemy now take more damage than if just one ability that confers vulnerable was used?

If you can be made vulnerable multiple times, is the additional damage multiplicative (56.25% extra damage), or additive (50% extra damage)?

Every so often I becomes suspicious that my wife (or one of my lovers) is cheating on me and I have the option to investigate.

However I don't see any reason why I would want to know if they are cheating on me.

If my wife is fertile it pretty much means that I want kids (if I didn't I would have married someone infertile in the first place).  And since my wife has not given birth yet when the event occurs I can't even know if the kid has good traits or not.

It seems that the best option is always to put my fingers in my ears and pretend the kid is mine so that I can expand my dynasty or possibly get a good heir.

Is there any reason I could have to want investigate my wife for infidelity?


texts: would a faster HDD in my PS3 speed up load times?

texts:
Ok, so several of my co-workers have been upgrading their work machines to use SSD hard drives instead of old spinning disks. They all rave about the huge speed boost on IO intensive actions like booting up, loading large files, starting apps the first time (before they're in memory) etc.

That got me to thinking, as I was waiting through load screen after load screen... would the same be true for my PS3? I've got to imagine that for downloaded games it will make a huge difference, since the game only exists on the HDD. But what about games that are on disc? Does the system cache a copy of the data on the HDD? or pre-load any of it when the game starts up?  Has any one tried this yet?


texts:
The Protestant Reformation recently began in my game of Europa Univeraslis IV, and it's spreading quite rapidly across my nation. When it first started I was hoping to stop it, but that doesn't look like it'll be an easy task. As the percentage of Protestants in my nation started to grow I started thinking it might just be easier to wait until Protestant becomes the dominate religion and switch my state religion to Protestant.

I noticed that doing so will give me a +10% bonus to Tax, and a 10% decrease in technology costs. The bonuses are very nice, but I've also noticed I get a diplomatic relations bonus with nations of the same religion. I'm assuming there might be a wide range of consequences for switching my religion beyond just these two things, so before I make the decision I'm hoping someone can detail the various benefits and drawbacks of switching my state religion to Protestant.

What are the various pros and cons of switching my state religion to Protestant?

texts: How to further my playing of Jungle Lee Sin?

texts:
My main and favorite role in League of Legends is Jungle Lee Sin. Lee Sin is an amazing champion with amazing mobility, great ganks, and amazing jungle clear.

I usually start red and then gank top immediately. I build assassin Lee Sin and build full AD, with the occasional tanky item. After Hunter's Machete and 5 pots, I occasionally build to Madreds Razors.  Afterwards I build towards Sightstone, Bloodthirsters, upgrade to Maw, get Ravenous Hydra.
My masteries are 21/9/0 with points in AD and Armor Penetration and in reduced creep damage. My runes are Flat AD Quints, Flat AD Reds, Flat Armor Yellows, and Scaling Magic Resist Blues.  I smartcast all abilities except my ult. I don't smartcast any items but slot 3 which is for the sightstone.

To get to the point, I play very well in a normal game and usually have a positive k/d ratio. I play strong and am able to ward jump proficiently to make a clean escape or occasionally chase, I make my skillshots 9/10 times, so I don't know what the problem is when I play ranked. I usually do okay but sometimes my team just can't play (sadly I am stuck in Bronze 5) or when I play against the enemy team, they play super passively and because of that, I can't gank them because they can get under their turret very quickly. I feel I can't do anything late game in team fights either. At a point I just backdoor, but the opposing team usually sees me and ganks me, leaving me dead to watch my team lose. I can never get my items unless I take all of my teams laning kills. I can't farm because the laners get upset if I take their CS. I can't manage well in time when ganking and jungling. I do not think I am a bad player, despite bronze 5, honestly play with me and you'll see. But I know I rely too much on enemy play style, and I want to know how to better play Lee Sin so I can be a good ranked player.

How can I become a better Lee Sin Jungler?

Being a better player means I need to know:
- How do I get proper gold?
- How do I play against passive players?
- How do I improve my late game?

texts:
I know there are multiple ways to render a target unconscious -- CQC, tranq dart, sleep grenade, chokehold, etc. It's just that right now I'm dealing with kind of a large outpost and I don't think I have the time to sneak out and wait for a Fulton resupply.

On the other hand, I don't want a guard to wake up and call the alarm just when I don't need it, especially since I've already interrogated them.

So how long does an enemy stay out after you've hugged them to sleep? I do know they can wake up out of a tranq dart annoyingly early if you get distracted...

texts: How to read system requirements & compare GPUs?

texts:
I've wanted to ask this for quite some time, hope this is the right place ... So, the system requirements for games usually give a recommendation for the minimally required GPU and CPU for both Nvidia and Intel hardware. However, both manufacturers produce various product lines and I often don't know how to compare them.

For example, the Heroes of the Storm System Requirements state that Nvidia users should at least have a GeForce 7600 GT, recommended is a GTX 650. I have a Nvidia 840 M. How can I find out if this is sufficient? (Though I would also like to know if my GPU is sufficient for HotS, this question is rather a general on how to read those system requirement statements)

I badly want him to try it, but he (perhaps rightly) can't justify spending the money until he can verify that it would run acceptably.

I bought a digital copy of Diablo III, and consequently wasn't given any Guest Pass keys for him to play the Starter Edition.

What are our options?

I can only think of one: re-download the game on his laptop, and sign in with my account. However, I'd prefer if I avoid this, lest there are any restrictions on number of activations, etc.


texts: Can two unique monsters spawn in the same area?

texts:
I'm trying to get both the Irreplaceable You and Special Assignment achievements, but am stuck with the last two, Hyadures and Phyneus the Growler.  According to Where do the Act 5 Unique monsters spawn for the Special Assignment / Irreplaceable You achievements? (and other references), I should look in Pandemonium Fortress level 1 for Hyadures and in Westmarch Commons for Phyneus.

However, other uniques can also spawn in those areas, so I want to know whether, if I should find either Captain Gerber or Dale Hawthorne, I should abandon the search in Westmarch for Phyneus or whether they can spawn in the same area in the same game?

And the same with Hyadures and, say, Razael or Lograth?


texts: Pokestops aren't working for me. Every time I spin it, it just says "Try again later". Even when I wait for a few seconds to spin it, I get the same results. I don't have any connectivity problems, I don't share accounts, and my bag isn't full. I've tried everything to fix it. I've deleted and redownloaded it, I've forced closed the app, and restarted my phone. Nothing works.


texts: What functionalities are blocked if you don't have a PS+/XBLG subscription?

texts:
Wondering if I should buy MHW on PS4 or wait for PC (Where online won't need a subscription, probably)

So are there any major functionalities of MHW that are blocked if you don't have a console Online Subscription? What functionalities in particular are available/not available?

And maybe dipping into something a little bit more of opinion, is the game fine if played offline, or is playing offline missing a lot of the experience?


texts: How late in the game can I complete From Ashes without missing any of Javik's dialogue?

texts:
After finishing the From Ashes mission, there's a brief pause before Javik becomes available as a squad mate or has anything to say.

How long can I push From Ashes before I've missed opportunities to improve my Shepard's friendship with Javik? I'd like to bring Kaidan to Eden Prime, but as Kaidan becomes a squad mate fairly late in the story, I'm hesitant to wait that long before rescuing Javik.


texts: Is it possible to use the Skyrim legendary Edition add-on installer without installing the update on Xbox 360?

texts: I want to install the add-ons without having the update so I can still do the Oghma Infinium glitch

texts: How can I tell if Nintendo Wii accessories are genuine/official?

texts: The Wiimote and Nunchuk resale market (e.g., Amazon/eBay) varies between questionable and legit. Many reviews complain about scam products mixed in with resale of certified genuine hardware. What are the easiest ways to visually tell official Nintendo Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk hardware apart from knockoffs if a scammer tries to pull one over on me?


texts: If there is no free space in the Egg inventory, it's impossible to obtain an Alola Egg. Is this checked when the Gift is received whether you open it or not (much like the eggs), or it is checked at the moment you try to open it?
