texts: What are the most efficient ways of downing the mighty Onos?

texts:
As the Frontiersman, it's a moderately terrifying experience to hear the roar of a Kharaa Onos rumbling down the halls towards your base (and your face). Many times, in that situation, my team has resorted to firing wildly at the thing, but to no avail. I've seen the Onos spawns charge into our house, make a mess of things, retreat a ways away, and then come storming back again and again.

What's are the best ways to stop these things in their tracks?

Do they have a softer side in which to flank? Is using mines effective? Is there a way to make them less lethal? Help!

texts: I'm playing Titanfall on Xbox one and my name defaulted to SolidRuby#####. How do I change this please? And will changing my name affect my levels gained (I'm still in generation 0)?


texts: Do I have to write down contract rules on paper to ever get a real chance to fulfil them?

texts:
To get contract bonuses, one need to meet certain set of conditions. Is there any way to make a game remind / notify me, like:

  You are at proper altitude and speed to fulfil "Test Mk16 Parachute in flight over Kerbin" contract.

Writing current contracts in real life notepad is really inconvenient, and checking against it is slow.


texts: How do I restore a Dragon Age 2 save file?

texts: I reformatted my PC and ended up with a backup of my Dragon Age 2 files not getting recognized by my new Dragon Age 2 installation. I basically just copied it into the Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age 2 folder. Anyone know if there are anymore steps I need to do so that my saves get restored to their former glory?


texts: No power when using the Xbox 360 Play N' charge kit

texts:
I have a 360 wireless 360 controller and a play n' charge kit, but I'm not getting any power from it.  I plug it into the Xbox/3rd party USB wall chargers/laptop, and nothing.

And when I say no power, I mean no power to even turn the controller on.  It started where it would only work when there was no battery in the controller, and now not at all.  Has this happened to anyone before?  Did it just give out?

For more information, I have multiple controllers and multiple battery packs, but only one charging cable, so I assume it is the cable itself?


texts: What are the various Horde mode fortifications in Gears of War 3  and how do they work?

texts:
What are all of the fortifications you can buy in Horde mode?
How do upgrades effect them and how do you upgrade them?  - When I was playing and I wanted to upgrade, it said 'upgrade locked', even if I had a lot of cash
How do the upgrades effect said upgrade?  Example, how much more effective are Razor wire barriers in comparison to the lower level barrier, the spikes?
Are upgrades based on the team, or are they individual? i.e, if I personally unlock level 2 barriers, can my whole team use them?
Do fortifications last from wave 1-50 if you defend them, or do they disappear after the bosses?


texts:
I would like to know how can I unlock the Slime Science gadgets.
Anybody has a clue?


texts: How does the damage of Zarya's weapon work?

texts:
Zarya's weapon causes more damage the more damage you absorb with her abilities. However, the damage slowly goes down over time.

Lets say you fire a grenade when your energy is at 50, but when the projectile actually hits, your energy is at 45. How much damage does this projectile actually cause? Will it cause the damage of the energy it was at when it was shot (50) or the damage of the energy you have when it hits (45)?

I mainly ask this because of Mercy's damage beam, which is only active when the shooter is damage boosted when the projectile hits, not when it's shot (so you'd have to keep your damage beam on the Pharah when the rocket hits).

Does it work the same for Zarya? If it does, how does it work when it's deflected by Genji?


texts: What should I do with all this candy corn?

texts:
This week in Guild Wars 2, you can loot candy corn from the trick-or-treat bags randomly dropped by enemies, and mine it from candy corn veins scattered around the world.

I've found a few uses for this stuff already, but what I really what to know is what I should be doing with it to maximize my potential rewards from the Halloween event.

So: What should I be doing with this candy corn to maximize my potential rewards from the Halloween event?


texts:
I read that it is possible to get it on the 7th day of field research.

texts: How can I create a semi automatic TNT cannon in Minecraft which does not need reloading?

texts:
Suppose I have a hill or a mountain I wish to demolish. I created a cannon using the classic recipe so I can do this task:

My problem is that reloading is quite cumbersome. I know that I can manufacture cobblestone using lava and water. Is there some way to manufature TNT somehow? If i need a mod for this it is not a problem!

So my goal is to be able to fire a primed TNT by pressing a button and without the need of reloading.


texts:
There is a neat tune on YouTube uploaded in 2013, called the "Main Theme" of The Witcher 3. Judging from the date of upload, it might as well be fan-made, but it sounds really polished. Some people in the comments claim that this was from the first trailer, but I was not able to find any trailer containing this music.

Is this tune official? Where is it from?


texts:
Recently, while looking at the F1 2020 settings, I noticed an entry related to UDP Telemetry.
I guess this is intended to collect/display additional telemetry data somehow, but I didn't figure out how.
I'm sure I have enabled the feature, could you please tell me how to display the data?


texts: My "damage" stat bar is flashing. What does it mean?

texts:
When I open the menu to look at my stats, the bar that shows damage is "flashing" (well, it looks more like it keeps increasing from "0" to "max" over and over again at high speed, hence "flashing"). What does it mean?

It happened before, and I think it has something to do with the Bloody Lust and technology 2.

Items I have atm when the bar is flashing:
(Playing as Eve)
Dead bird, Whore of Babylon, Small Rock, Chocolate Milk, Technology 2, Jesus Juice, Stem Cells, Bloody Lust, Cat-o-nine-tails, Lil Chub, Grade 1 Cube of meat, Ouja board, Toothpicks


texts: I recently discovered that if you put a town portal scroll in your pet's inventory the pet will return instantly from the trip. This is great, but so far I've only managed to give entire stacks of the scroll to my pet, who will then gladly sell all of it, leaving me with no scrolls in case of emergency. How do I split a stack of items?


texts: Can I eat the corpses of my dead siblings?

texts: When you breed a new generation, it's possible to end up with more than one in a litter. These extras are considered packmates, which you can use to distract enemies or help you hunt. Is it possible, after losing one or more packmates after a big fight, to consume their corpses to gain calories and restore fullness?


texts: How to counter a proxy zealot rush on Blistering Sands

texts:
I'm recently doing a lot of rushes, and I found that the outcome is very map-dependent.

On a map like Blistering Sands, where I know my opponent's location and he has a backdoor, how would you defend an opponent's zealot rush?

I usually set up 3 gateways in a spot near his base, that is unseen by the watch tower. The probe that builds these gateways is sent to scout, and if his main entrance is well defended I hurry up to the back door. Even if he scouts there, it's usually too late.


texts:
I want to make an upgrade to Town Hall 10. I have the gold needed, but  my storage is not up to the required amount. I have 4 million in my storage and another 1 million in my clan castle to make 5 million, enough to upgrade my town hall to level 10. My storage max capacity is 4.6 million at the moment.

Can I proceed to the upgrade ?


texts:
Is there a way to see your character's total equipped armor rating?

For example, if I'm wearing 5 pieces of gear, each having 10 Armor, is there somewhere in the character/inventory to see that added up to 50?

I'm on console, Xbox One, but I'd hope this isn't a console specific question.


texts: How can I improve aiming with my gamepad?

texts:
After playing the very first mission in the PC version of Valkyria Chronicles, I noticed how difficult it is to aim with a gamepad.

Specifically: The dead zone is too large in this game, meaning I have to push the analog stick very far before my reticle will move and when it does, it moves too fast. Luckily, I can still use my mouse for precision aiming, but having to switch input devices all the time can be quite tiring.
It appears the large dead zone is actually a bug in the game, where pushing the stick only slightly will move the aiming reticle in the opposite direction.

Also, aiming is done with the left stick; this is not very intuitive since looking around is done using the right one. In aiming mode, aiming (and thus looking around) suddenly switches to the left stick.

How can I fix these aiming-related issues?
How can I map aiming to the right stick?


texts: Is it possible to do a mass replacement of aging vehicles?

texts:
I have a bunch of vehicles in need of replacement due to old age. I am aware of the vehicle autoreplacement feature, but that seems to only allow for the migration of one vehicle to another (instead of just decomissioning an older vechicle and replacing it with an exact duplicate.)

Is it possible to auto-replace aged vehicles with identical (newer) equivalents?


texts: Why can I not  gift any units to either city-states or other players?

texts:
This is probably a really stupid question, but I tried searching and could not find anything in either the help files or online.

Perhaps it is a bug, but I cannot gift any units to either city-states or other players. When I select gift a unit, the gift cursor appears, but when I click on a unit nothing happens. I tried moving the unit to their territory first but it does not work and it says that you can gift a unit from anywhere on the map.


texts: How can I create a custom automatic status on Steam?

texts:
I added a media player to Steam as a non-Steam game and changed its name to "watching movie". When I launch it from the games library it changes my status. But I want to make this change automatically everytime I play a movie. Is there anyway to do this?

P.S.: I don't want to change it to the movie's name that is currently playing. I just want to change it to "watching movie" when I start a video with that player.


texts: How do I reverse the redstone door so it starts in close position?

texts:
I'm trying to make a hidden door in Minecraft.
I have pressure plates set up to open the door, but since the door starts in open mode, when I use the pressure plates, it closes and then opens.
How do I get it to start in closed position?

What I have tried: I added a lever and that made it start in closed position but then my pressure plates would not work.

What I want is the pressure plates to be the openers for the door so that you would have to run over the pressure plates to get through the door using the tiny window opportunity created by the plates.


texts: Will the spouse freak out if she finds out you are a werewolf or vampire?

texts: Ok so I recently became a werewolf. Now let's say I wanted to marry ysolda or Camilla. If I did get married to them and I turned into my wolf form, will they freak out towards me or should I just hide that little part of me?

texts: What do midget goliaths count as for Badass Rank?

Specifically, I'd like to create some plazas for my city that could go into the plaza tab.


texts: Approximately how rare are (!!!) bushes on the Pokewalker?

texts: Related to this question, roughly how rare are (!!!) bushes? I have the required number of steps and I've encountered around eight (!!) bushes, and spent around 2000W on Poke Radar turns, but haven't seen a single (!!!) bush.


texts: Is there an option to change the language of Borderlands 3 on Steam?

texts:
The game is, for whatever reason, German on my system. Now, I'd like it in English. I'm aware that there is a function in the Steam properties that allows me to set the language. However, the game apparently ignores that. I tried setting it to German and back, then French. Nothing helped.

I also couldn't find any option in the game itself to change the language.

So, is there any other way to change the language of Borderlands 3?


texts: In Saint's Row 2, I made extensive use of the cruise control for those drive-and-shoot missions. I seem to remember being told I could use cruise control in Saint's Row 3, but I can't seem to figure out how. How do you work it?


texts:
In Kingdoms of Amalur, my character found putting points in blacksmithing rapidly generated a hurricane of parts, pieces, bits, bobs, and odds n' ends. This sent my OCD into panic mode, and I immediately went on a selling binge, because having so many components was mindbogglingly overwhelming.

Selling components isn't very profitable. In fact, I'd much rather have the pre-salvaged items to sell. But that got me wondering - I'm a blacksmith. I can turn components into items... but are those crafted items worth more than the pieces I salvaged to make them in the first place?

So two questions: can I make a profit by salvaging items for their components, then using said components to smith my own items? Is there any advantage into salvaging items you've made? I can't imagine it could result in better components than what you used to make it... could it?


texts: Can I get Steam achievments with long war mod on XCOM?

texts: Error when trying to reconnect to a Dota 2 game

texts:
Every now and then my game has a massive lagspike (I can run it at 60-70 FPS but it has lagspikes sometimes) and it says I timed out. Well, this happens in almost any game and when I try to reconnect I just see my team's ancient and my character in the corner but I can't move my camera or move my hero or anything.

How can I go back to the game when I time out?


texts: VATS damage reduction in Fallout New Vegas

texts:
In Fallout 3, during VATS you had 90% damage reduction.

In Fallout New Vegas this seems to be considerably reduced. Is it known how big the damage reduction is now, or has it been removed entirely?


texts: Why do I suddenly have 25/16 Imperial Levels on TDS?

texts:
I was playing TDS, and I suddenly noted that I had 90 levels.  Given that there are 81 regular levels in the game, plus Panna City Medicine, I found this odd.

Opening the menu and looking at the Levels tab showed the following:

I have 25/16 possible Imperial Levels.  They do not show up in the actual tower itself.

I am playing version 1.2.2344.

Has anyone else experienced this?  Did it resolve spontaneously?  Disney Customer support is not able to help with any in-game issues (according to their email on a different issue).


texts: What is the best stat armor for a necromancer doing condition damage?

texts:
I have a necromancer that does condition damage.  What is the best armor for this type of necro?  It seems that the best armor would be the Grenth Karma Exotic armor that I can get from the Temple of Grenth in the Cursed Shore, right?  That armor seems to increase condition damage with every piece you wear.  Is there better one?  Thanks.

texts: Minecraft performance degrades over time, no resource bottlenecks detected

texts:
My minecraft performance degrades the longer I play. The game will start to freeze for a fraction of a second before it continues. While this starts to happen every 10 minutes, the longer I play and the more I explore, the worse it gets, until eventually it happens every second.

Looking at my task manager, there are no shortage of resources. I am running of an SSD, 32GB Ram, I have a fast graphics card (AMD Radeon R9 290X), nothing runs in the background etc. Restarting minecraft solves the problem immediately. I limited the game to 30FPS and it pretty much stays there.

It's the latest version of Oracle Java (161), 64bit.

Any idea how to solve this issue?


texts: What is the "special service" at the Blooming Rose?

texts:
There are rumors that the mistress of the Blooming Rose (in Hightown of Kirkwall) will provide a "special service" for regular customers.  Is this a quest line?  Am I missing out on story content or is it just flavor text from a loading screen?

I haven't bothered to spend time in there unless there's a mission forcing me in the door (my male Hawke is smitten with Isabella and my FemHawke thinks the whole place is stupid).


texts: Modded 1.8.9 instance has many fps drops

texts:
So I just opened an instance of 1.8.9. I downloaded many mods(including Optifine) to help with Hypixel Skyblock, a Minecraft server. As the title states, I noticed many frame drops during my gameplay. If you need it, here are my device specs.
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40Ghz
RAM: 24.0 gigabytes
I run a 64-bit Windows 10 system, and have an x64-based processor. Should I allocate more memory for Minecraft? Right now, I allocate 1024 MB of memory for my instance.
Here are a list of the mods I use if you need it.
ChatTriggers, 1.3.0-1.8.9
Danker's Skyblock Mod, 1.8.4
Fullbright, 1.2
Melody Mod, 1.1
NotEnoughUpdates, 1.7.3-REL
Optifine 1.8.9
SkyblockAddons, 1.5.5

texts:
I appear to be stuck on a lift.

After re-establishing landline communications, I got back into the lift to return back inside the facility, and after the lift came to a stop and the doors open I found myself unable to move. The game is still responding because I'm still getting Mira's voice overs telling me the power is down but the game is otherwise not accepting any movement. I am also still able to look around.

It is not possible to save the game (the save option is greyed out), which would have presumably allow me to reload the game again and resolve the problem. My last auto-save is a couple of missions back (about an hour ago) so I'd rather avoid loading that back up if I can avoid it.

Any ideas?


texts: Why is Power Armor so much more common in Boston

texts:
In Fallout games prior to 4, functional sets of power-armor are a relatively rare commodity (at least, outside of BoS/Enclave installations where power-armor may be common but mostly also non-lootable...especially if you don't already have some of your own).  You generally don't get your first set until mid to late-game, and outfitting an entire party with power-armor takes a lot of effort.

Contrast this with Fallout 4, where...well:

I've got 7 sets of power armor, and I haven't even been to Diamond City yet.  The first set I found basically by accident (went up to the rooftop before the guy told me to), and more sets keep turning up more-or-less the same way.

Is there any canonical/in-game explanation for why liberated/lootable power-armor is almost commonplace in Boston and so rare everywhere else?

texts: DS4 - BlueTooth will not work natively on Win10, but will work with Steam/DS4Windows

texts:
I have 2 DS4 controllers I use regularly for PC gaming on Windows 10.
#1 works flawlessly on both wired USB and wireless BlueTooth connections.
#2 works flawless ONLY when wired by USB. BlueTooth has these odd problems I can't figure out:
-It will try to pair over BlueTooth to Win10 (the blue bar will flash regularly as expected). When I click through the Win10 menus to finish the pairing process, it will pair and show up immediately under the 'Game Controllers' menu (joy.cpl) BUT it won't work. The light bar will immediately go out. Clicking 'Properties' will show there's no input being detected for the controller. It's like Windows keeps a handle of the wireless controller but won't actually process its inputs.
-The above issue can be fixed immediately either by using Steam's Playstation Controller Support under Big Picture, or by third party software like DS4Windows. It will read inputs and I'm able to play my PC games with this controller wirelessly. I've recreated this on 2 Windows 10 machines.
I'm wondering if this may be a low battery issue, as I've seen discussions suggesting incompatible chargers/USB cables could somehow "drain" the controllers. However, this doesn't make sense because I can still play wirelessly once I boot Steam or DS4Windows. Maybe something physical on this one controller crapped out over time?
This may be related (discussion of controller feature sets over BlueTooth): Why does my DualShock 4 connect through micro-usb but not Bluetooth?
This is a similar issue, but I'm able to get my weird controller working via Steam or DS4Windows:
PS4 Controller paired over bluetooth "Connected" but not working
I'm able to get it working with third-party software, but curious if anyone had ideas for getting this controller working natively in Win10 over BlueTooth.
Thank you!

texts: What does a Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) notification look like?

texts:
I'd like to know what messages appear when somebody is cheating and VAC detects it. Do they appear in-game (for games which support VAC natively) or via Steam's game overlay (opened by pressing shift-tab)? Does the game immediately close to show the message? What happens on the screen of the banned player and the players on the same server throughout the whole process?

I couldn't find unmodified screenshots or detailed enough info on google. This post briefly lists the things that trigger a ban, but not how it notifies the user of detected cheating visually.


texts: Is it possible to take down enemy recon planes?

texts:
I know Mountain division members, at rank II, get immunity to enemy Recon planes.   But for all the other classes, that seem to have no way to counter recon planes, is there a way for them to take down UAV planes?

In Black Ops 1 you could use a SAM Launcher killstreak to take down enemy aircraft, including UAVs, or use guided launchers to take them down. Given there is no lock on in World War II, is it still possible to take down a recon plane while it is doing recon?


texts: I need help about the LoL minions(And structures)

texts:
So I've seen videos on YouTube of LoL by people such as Keyori, Dunkey, SivHD, AnTrollingNoob, etc., and in some videos, something about the minions and structures is different. In their gameplay, the minions are the opposite color that they're supposed to be. For example, when you're in the red team, the color of the minions and structures is blue, when it's supposed to be red. It looks like this:

I believe the game is designed that way, but I want to know if it's possible to make it the way its supposed to be.


texts: Is there a way to stop my helmet from destroying my skin in minecraft?

texts: I recently purchased a cool skin in minecraft. However, the skin has a head covering that, like many modern skins, has extensions on it. When I put on a helmet, these extensions are deleted, leaving my character's face as a weird flat grey blob beneath the helmet. I tried downloading a texture pack that makes armor invisible, but this just made it so you couldn't see the armor, it didn't prevent the sticking-out parts of the skin from being flattened off when the helmet is equipped. Is there ANY way to stop this from happening?

texts: Logistics Pipes Request Tables forget Crafting Logistics Pipes

texts:
So in Tekkit Legends, I had an amazing set-up that auto-crafted a ton of IC2 stuff, like MFSUs, High Voltage Solar panels, and crafting-intensive items like that. It converted diamonds into IC2 things by use of energy condensers and crafting logistics pipes. Suddenly, I went to my request table and discovered that it can't detect the crafting pipes that make nearly all the things needed. Solar Panels (normal ones) show up and so do High Voltage Solar panels, but nothing in-between. I can't make Solar Panels to attempt to remake the crafting pipes with the right resources because the resources needed to make the solar panels have been 'forgotten' by the request table... I.e. it doesn't detect the crafting logistics pipes, so to say, even though the High Voltage ones are on the same line. If this is unclear, check the image.

And yes, I know it's not the most efficient set-up with the HV-Wires but that's not the issue at hand here.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

texts: Can the primary attribute names be hidden in a custom hero layout?

texts:
A friend told me about the "Customize Grid" feature in the hero picker of Dota 2, and about a great website (Dota2Layout.com) to edit those grids. However, that website became incompatible with latest updates to Dota, so for the time being I hacked together my own DotaGrid editor.

This works just fine, but I can't seem to get rid of the primary attribute names. Here's a screenshot of a custom layout I've created:

Question: Is there any way to remove the red-encircled texts ("Strength", "Agility", "Intelligence")?

What I've tried / considered:

Resetting and exporting the layout, scouring through the file to see if there's anything to tweak;
Applying some Google-fu;
I've checked if dota2layout.com does anything special (by checking exported files);
Searched the steamapps/dota2 folder for *.jpg or *.png (a long shot, I know).

All to no avail.

Is it currently (6.81b) possible at all to remove those attribute names?

texts: How to generate a completely void nether/end?

texts:
I'm working on a skyblock world, and I am wondering how to generate the nether as a complete void with no blocks, I still want to keep the biomes and structures, just remove all blocks, I also want to do this with the end.
For the overworld it's easy to do this, you just generate a super flat world with 1 layer air, but this wouldn't work either, since I want structures, but no blocks, so if I generate a world with structures, there would be floating villages and such, but I don't want that, I only want the structures to remain, so you could build witch farms and such
As SF. said, i could use the quickcarpet skyblock mod, and it was available for 1.16

texts: Am I too weak? / How powerful should I be at each point of the story?

texts:
I'm currently up to defeating the Agnaktor EX in Manelger's laboratory and I seem to have hit a power brick wall. I'm not sure if I should've done more grinding or not, but I can't seem to survive two hits from the boss.

According to a few guides, I should be breaking its head and tail before attacking the main body to prevent it from attacking twice per turn in its enraged state (which means it has 2x damage) and perfectly attacking all weaknesses, but even after doing so, I can't seem to survive at least three turns taking damage (especially the rider). Healing items can't keep up in the rage stage, and I'm always for the most part, ending up using at least half of my collection of Potion/Mega Potions.

I'm currently using Uragaan Armor, upgraded to Level 2, and all my monsties are Level 20-25. My character is at Level 22.

I don't want to have to hit a brick wall in the story, so when should I be levelling up for the next part of the story?

To make sure this is helpful to all, how powerful should I be, or more specifically, how powerful should I be at each stage of the story?


texts:
It seems that magic is very under-powered in Blades. Aside from Absorb, which seems to be one hell of a crutch to fall back on, other spells like Fire, Frost, and especially Poison, seem woefully under-powered. The main problem is that a large chunk of spells can be interrupted, meaning you have a very limited window in which to cast them.

Right now, the best thing (and best doesn't mean good here) to do is to time your block on an attack, then try to cast your spell while the enemy is recovering from your block. Not even this can be successful 100% of the time though, with many enemies, especially later in the game, recovering more quickly, or not reeling at all from a timed block.

My question is, is there any way in Blades that I can cast spells more quickly?

texts: Warning when installing relatively old game

This might be better suited for SuperUser.SE, but it also might be too game-specific.

My laptop carries an i7 2.5 GHz core with a GeForce 840M (around 1GHz, 2GB memory). In other words, it should be very well capable of running this game. During the install however, I got the following message:

Ofcourse, I blame Windows 8.1. Old software on newer operating systems has caused unusual errors in the past. But should I be worried? Should I fix the error causing this?

Do note the game has not failed in any obvious ways while playing yet (except for randomly launching my missiles, which is a known bug).

texts: Is there a 'cool down' for villager breeding?

texts:
I have a villager breeder and have gotten several baby villagers from it. Right now, though, I'm not getting any villagers at all, even though I supplied them with enough food, and have a bunch of 'houses' close enough to them.

I just watched a video on what to do if villagers aren't breeding, and had done everything the narrator already, so he said to just wait if everything else had been completed, as it can take a villager 2 hours to recognize a village.

I'm wondering if maybe when two villagers make a baby villager, there's some sort of 'cool down' timer or something where they cannot have another baby for a little bit even if all requirements are met.

There's also this I found on the thread 'Villagers still not breeding':

  Villager breeding is an incredibly slow and tedious process - they don't enter breeding mode simply because they've fulfilled all of the criteria. Once the villager meet the requirements to enter Mating mode, they will occasionally and at random enter it. It's an infrequent occurrence at best, and then when you consider that two villagers have to do it simultaneously? Well, that's why the other questions on this topic indicate that it's not a fast process.. There's a saying: "A watched kettle never boils", and it's appropriate here. Go do something else while you wait...

Is this why it takes so long normally, even though the weird part being they'll breed instantly if I trade with them?

Also, I am in 1.11.2, Vanilla.

EDIT: Just went back to the breeder and the hearts were flying! Took a while but now they're breeding, which makes me think as the quote above stated, even when all criteria are met, it can take a while for breeding.

  2) on screen build instructions would appear
  3) Save the vehicle to the disc

Why is this not working for these two characters?  If it matters, I am attempting to do this outside of any of the worlds.  Directly outside of the "vortex" that you jump through to begin a level.

I fixed this issue by restarting my laptop from the ACPI button and then booting to Ubuntu recovery mode. Enabled networking and then loaded root mode. Typed these commands:

sudo apt-get purge fglrx -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade // this is not necessary but you can upgrade your system t0 latest updates

restart

I also downloaded AMD legacy driver from here: http://geeko.ioda.net/mirror/amd-fglrx-legacy/raw-src/

It will create three deb files. I installed the first one: fglrx_8.970-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i fglrx_8.970-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

Then restart. And as I can see it works :D I can play Portal on my Ubuntu 12.04.
But ok I see "AMD Unsupported hardware" icon on bottom right of  screen.

texts:
I'm still pretty much at the start of the game, level 6 currently and I visited Diamond City briefly. I'm exploring the map randomly right now, but I keep running into pretty high-level enemies.

Are there some rough guidelines on which areas of the map are appropriate for low level characters? I'd appreciate avoiding any spoilers, I'm just looking for a rough idea on which directions and locations I should explore at the beginning.


texts: What are the differences among Cave Story versions?

texts: What are the critical differences between the various releases of Cave Story (PC, WiiWare, DSiWare, 3DS)? In particular, I already have a copy (of Cave Story+) on Steam from the Humble Indie Bundle 4, but the 3DS release sounds like the most intriguing—is the 3DS remake worth the $30 if I already own a version?


texts: Where can the new skin sets be obtained?

texts:
Just saw the new packs "Rising Sun Collection, Gods and Monsters Collection and Chop Shop Collection" and wondered where the skins in them come from. As far as I know, there is only one new case which only gives from Falchion Case Collection.

Does the new skins drop, or do they get unlocked from a case?

texts:
Warning: pic heavy

I'm on my way to my second encounter with Griever. I just retrieved the Tremor Gauntlet and finished the train depot section.

Now, I knew I thought where I should be going next. There was a crystal blockage in the cathedral and with the new Tremor Gauntlet in hand that was the next logical place to go.

Behind the door, there's a small piece of hallway and a bunch of water. In the water are two floating platforms. It appears you can't return from the platform since the height is too much.

I suppose one should jump down, get to the second platform and somehow reach the next door. Problem is, the door seems out of reach.

Overview of my current location, for good measure.

Now either I'm in the correct place at the wrong time (too early) or I'm just not seeing a way out where there is one. It looks impossible to get back to the door where I came from, but old save-games help with that.

Now, now do I get to that door?

I´ve just bought a second-hand Nintendo Wii console, and I have previously bought a second-hand Nintendo DSXL. I´m trying to register for Club Nintendo, but it asks me to enter a PIN number which I did not receive with my second-hand consoles.

Is it possible to join Club Nintendo without a PIN from a brand new piece of Nintendo hardware/software?

Several friends and I have been playing more competitively in StarCraft 2.  Unfortunately, we all have our issues, but in an effort to try to better ourselves, our MMR, and move up in the ladder, we're trying various things to help.

This has risen a big question which I have run into multiple times over the years.  How best to criticize a teammate?  There are obviously wrong ways and right ways, but it often seems that there are more wrong ways than right with some people.  I know when I used to play Quake 3 and UT2k4 competitively many times the people I competed with would get downright offended at the slightest criticism.

What kind of tips and suggestions do you have concerning giving your fellow teammates advice?


texts:
I noticed that I often have less farm than my lane opponent. At around 20 minutes, I'll have 80-100 CS.

My problem is not last hitting; I am familiar with the concept and I think I actually do it well.

Although that seems to be exactly my problem: when I strictly last hit, my lane gets pushed by the enemy (because he/she tends to kill more). Sooner or later my tower will steal some CS.

Are there any guides / concepts about how to farm efficiently in top/mid lane?

texts:
I have the Steam client installed on my Macbook Pro, and each and every time I shut my Mac down without first quitting the Steam client, the client crashes.

texts: Why can't I join any Minecraft Multiplayer servers?

texts:
This just started happening today:

I have minecraft installed on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. For some reason multiplayer doesn't work for me: I get a good ping for the server but every time I attempt to join, for the first few moments everything works and chat is working but then, all the players freeze, chat doesn't work, portals don't work, and when I type something in chat, it doesn't show up. After 5 more seconds, I get kicked from the server and it says "Connection lost Timed Out".

I've tried joining many servers (hypixel, mineplex, etc.) but none of them work (the same thing happens to all of them). I've tried restarting my computer 2 times, disconnecting and reconnecting my wifi, and I re-installed minecraft.

What can I do to fix this?


texts: What are the advantages of mutilating someone, rather than just killing them?

texts:
In Manhunt, I've just finished the tutorial level, where I am shown that, during a stealth kill, the longer I hold the action button for, the more gruesome the attack becomes.

Now, there are several disadvantages to this:

Performing a fully-fledged mutilation takes a good 5-10 seconds, during which time the victim is likely to turn around, or I am likely to be spotted by another Hunter.
The more gruesome the attack, the more noise it makes, so, if there is a Hunter with friends nearby, and I brutally murder him, they will hear and come to kill me.

So, I am left wondering: what is the incentive to brutally murder someone in this game?

texts: Should I use the Hand cannon or the Shotgun for close-range combat?

texts:
I'm playing Bioshock Infinite with a build that I thought of - I use a sniper rifle as my long-range weapon of choice, and (currently) a shotgun for close-up crowd control. For the vigors, I generally use one of Murder of Crows or Shock Jockey (occasionally Bucking Bronco, if enemy is behind cover). The former two are mainly to distract them, so I can
a) Move in close with the shotgun
b) Back off, find cover and pull out the sniper
Also, Shock Jockey is useful for turrets, Handymen, Patriots, etc. As I write this, I'm relatively early on in the game, so I haven't upgraded anything except the sniper rifle and I don't have too much useful gear, so I won't list that.

The main question is - should I use the Shotgun or the Hand Cannon?
I have used the Hand Cannon a little bit, and both seem pretty similar weapons - I use them in close quarters and they are extremely good alongside the sniper rifle and my above mentioned vigors. The only difference I could see was that the Hand Cannon seemed to have a higher rate of fire (though I'm not sure, maybe it's just me) as well as noticeably better range. The damage output seemed rather similar too. So, factoring in the upgrades and all, and also the rest of my build, will the Hand Cannon work better than the Shotgun?


texts:
What are the recommended drums for Rockband/Guitar Hero?

I have a set of Guitar Hero World Tour drums that are finally broken beyond use, so I need to pick up a new set.

I don't have a strict budget, but I don't want to pay 4x for something only slightly better than the Guitar Hero drums I am replacing.

I would like something that is fairly kid-proof, relatively unobtrusive when not in use, and -- most importantly -- fun to play.

I was happy with the Guitar Hero drums as far as that goes, but they are obviously junk with a build quality bordering on embarrassing.  Are the third-party drums like this?  Or are there any out there that will last for more than a year?  I would be fine just picking up stock drums if there is not a big difference in quality, but it's not clear to me what the landscape is made up of these days.

The problems I've had with the Guitar Hero drums are: the wires to the cymbals are the flimsiest wires I've ever seen (one is broken and not replaceable and it's too thin to solder), the kick pedal just plain sucks, and the quick-release-style clips that hold the whole thing together are just junk -- my currently broken kit is duct-taped together because none of the clips hold anything together anymore.

So, for those who enjoy drumming in these games: what do you buy?

TIA.

texts: (!potential spoilers for people who haven't played) In the Witness, how do I solve this puzzle?

texts:
I'm terrified to Google this and I would appreciate if anyone could answer this as gingerly and spoiler-free as possible because I'm not very far in the game and I'd like to experience all of the puzzles on my own. I take exception with this particular quandary because I've spent the last 30 minutes feathering the thumbstick ever-so-slightly in every direction, trying to get this thing to activate, and it won't do it.

I'm getting varying degrees of sparks when I click in the circle, but I can't seem to line it up properly. Is there a different (maybe higher?) perspective that I am supposed to activate it from? Does the circle on the right-hand side need to be fully closed (ie: no chunk cut out in the middle)? Or is it more important that the circle is as circular as possible? The amount of sparks on the various attempts seems to indicate that the latter is more important, but about 300 attempts haven't sealed the deal, and I'm starting to question my sanity :p

Thanks in advance for your help :) The game is really great so far!! I was grinning like a buffoon when I discovered the first symbol for the black obelisks; I thought the game consisted entirely of the little panel puzzles.


texts: How to unlock “Classic Mode — Final Results” music?

texts:
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, there is a song that plays on the “Final Results” screen when you beat Classic Mode. It is a solo piano arrangement of Lifelight that is over two minutes and forty five seconds long (I timed it).

It is a distinct version from “Classic Mode — Defeat”; the voicings are different, it is much longer, and it has a distinct end. It is completely different from the song called “Classic Mode — Final Results” in My Music.

Is there any way to unlock this song? I currently own every song from the shop (but I haven't beaten World of Light.)

texts: Is there a central Boston unpopulated location that contains all the crafting stations?

texts:
I was wondering whether there's a unpopulated (or containing clearable hostiles) location in central Boston in Fallout 4 that contains the following:

Weapons workbench
Armour workbench
Chemistry station
Cooking station
Power armour station (optional, but useful)

From memory University Point might offer all of these but I'm looking for a location closer to Downtown Boston.

This is for a character I'm playing who avoids people/ populated settlements. The character doesn't have the "Local Leader" perk so they can't build crafting stations in Hangman Alley (which is an excellent location).

Of course if a suitable location has hostile inhabitants I can always clear them out.

I'd also like to avoid loading screens by having to enter buildings/ subways etc. if possible.

texts: I have little fighting skill. How can I get rid of a Wither?

texts:
I have set up a Minecraft server for my 5-year-old son and a friend of his. They use it in creative mode to build stuff.

Today, my son copied instructions he saw in a YouTube video and created a Wither boss. Upon creation, it blew up two quite beloved constructions of his and proceeded to wreak havoc in their town.

This is when I got called in. I had hoped that some kind of operator command would be available to kill a monster and found

/kill @e[type=WitherBoss]

but that killed my avatar rather than the Wither. I think this is due to these options not yet being available. Would upgrading the server to the latest version allow me to kill it this way?

If not, what is the best way to get rid of the thing? It does not necessarily have to die - if it were to sit somewhere a bit further away from the constructions and be quiet, that would be fine too.

But I'm looking for a way with preferably little or no fighting skill required, since neither of us has much of that. And it'd be nice if we can save some of the scenery as well; he was rather shaken and sad already due to the destruction.

texts:
I own the Xbox 360 port of FUEL, and have never had any problems with it.  However, someone else in my family owns the PS3 version of the game, and has had various issues with running the game.  I find it odd that this version of the game would have these issues, considering it was originally developed for the PS3.

Some of the more prominent issues:

Audio/video cutting out.
Crashing. (This usually happens while driving a very large distance, but not always)
When driving at very high speeds on the highway, you seem to slowly overtake the graphic drawing speed.  The scenery can't seem to keep up with you, and things start to only be rendered a short distance in front of you.

Are these known issues with the game on PS3?  If so, is there anything we can do to combat them?

texts: Do Plaguelords have infinite cards in their deck?

texts:
I played the new adventures first chapter on heroic and managed to build a kinda consistent Milldeck I made it to the boss with.

But trying to mill him it happened on 2 occasions, that almost before I got him running out of cards, he just got 20 more cards added to his deck. I had not played any card adding cards to his deck, nor had his heropower or any permanent effect that was mentioned anywhere left a note on WHY he just got his deck stocked up. That's really frustrating, and so I want to ask here:

Why did the Plaguelord of "Tombs of terror"'s first chapter get aproximately 20 cards added to his deck multiple times, and what are these cards?


texts: How do I change the time zone Steam uses?

texts:
When I receive Steam messages, the shown time that the message was received is inaccurate. It's always 3 hours earlier than I actually received the message. For example, if someone sends me a message at 9:30, Steam will say I got the message at 6:30.

I guess this is because Steam thinks I want the Pacific timezone, when I really want Eastern. Is there a way to solve this? Or, is this caused by some other phenomenon? (And is there still a way to solve this?) I couldn't find anything in the settings that looked like it would affect this, and my download location is set appropriately.

Troubleshooting:

The sender is definitely in the same time zone as me.
My OS time zone is set properly.
The download server I have set in Steam is in the same time zone as me.


texts: What is the most cost effective armor value?

texts:
Armor is fairly important for tanks in league, as it lowers the physical damage they take from enemies.
Armor absorbs a certain percentage of incoming damage to the champion, it is not on a 1:1 scale.  For example having 100 armor does not block 100% of incoming damage.
Armor also does not scale up at the same pace throughout the game, buying 15 armor at the beginning of the game when you have 40 armor has a greater impact than buying 15 armor at the end, when you already have over 100 armor.

Finally, different items have a different cost-effectiveness for armor values:
Cloth Armor costs 300 gold and gives 15 armor, that is 20 armor per gold
Chain Vest costs 720 gold and gives 40 armor, that is 18 armor per gold

So taking into account the way armor scales down with the amount of current armor your champion has, and the cost effectiveness of different items that give armor, I'd like to know when is it economically right to just stop buying armor. Or
What is the armor value at the point where buying X armor will only increase damage absorption by 1% (or less), and what is the minimal gold value to get there?

For example, I played Garen on Twisted Tree Line and started with 40 armor, which said gave me a 29% reduction to incoming damage.
I bought a Chain Vest right off, giving me 82 armor (40 + 2 additional from my masteries), with 45% damage reduction
I proceeded to record throughout the game:
127 armor = 56% reduction
170 armor = 63% reduction
198 armor = 66% reduction

As you can see, the difference of 30 armour in late game only bumped it from 63% to 66%, but adding 40 armour earlier bumped it from 29% to 45%

texts: How do I move the compass to the top of the screen in Fallout 76?

texts:
How do I move the compass to the top of the screen instead of the bottom in Fallout 76 on the PS4? Is there an option somewhere in the settings for it? The games I've played that actually have a compass always have it at the top so I keep looking to the top of the screen for it whenever I play. It's annoying when I don't find it there. I'd like it to be in the same place as it is in the rest of the games I play.
Alternatively, I'd rather it just be gone if I can't move it so that way I don't bother stopping to look for it. If I can't move it is there a way to just disable it entirely?

(I like axes...)

These two squads are front liner fighters and by necessity need armor and in this case, I have them fitted with bronze sets.  They both have been training, the oldest squad for 5.5 years of 6 and the youngest for 4.5 years of 6.  However, the armor skill has yet to raise for any of them, despite the use of the bronze armor.  The older squad has been using leather armor for 2 years and for the last year, it has used bronze.  Still no change.  What am I missing here?  If i understand the armor skill right it will help with defense and with offsetting the speed reduction of the gnomes, correct?  So I really would like to know how to train that skill up to 100 or so.  I would especially like this when I start to get steel setup.


texts: I've tried using both iron and diamond pickaxes, but diamonds just go poof into smoke. I'm playing survival, and no - the diamond is not falling into lava. Is there any way to fix this? I'm using version 1.12.2, and the only mods I have are a texture pack (Conquest), Optifine, LiteLoader, and VoxelMap. All these work fine.


texts: When can a spotted agent safely move into hiding?

texts:
When a guard spots an agent, the agent gains a "watched" status or something like that, and the tooltip says something along the lines of:

  If the agent moves, the guard will take a turn.

Which is complicated way of saying that basically the guard will shoot the agent.

However, I've noticed if I set my agents to sprint, then can safely dive into cover without being shot, as long as the cover tile is 1 tile away.

Is it necessary for the agent to be sprinting into cover, however, or is it only necessary that the cover is the aforementioned 1 tile distance away?


texts: Can I download free games with an expired PlayStation Plus subscription?

texts: I had a PlayStation Plus subscription but it expired. Can you not still download the free games you have if you do it on a console that you had your account set to primary?


texts:
I just attempted a heist in The Swindle, when I came across something that looked like this:

I assume this is a generator. It looked like it could give me some cash, so I blasted through the wall to get to it. However, when I got there I couldn't interact with it. The fact that it was a generator made me think if I shut it down then it might make the level easier, so I planted a bomb next to it. As soon as it went off, I was detected. Since the game does not explain anything to the player, I have no idea what happened. What are the mechanics of generators?


texts: Is there a way to give a player Depth Strider III effect without using boots or armor? I'm setting something up on a public server (1.9), and I don't want to automatically/accidentally override any armor boots, etc, that they might have on. Can I use a command block to give them the effect? Speed doesn't seem to work under water, I've noticed.


texts: How does the US meta compare to the meta of other regions (EU/APAC)?

texts:
Title says most of it. I've heard differences in the meta between the regions and teams have to practice with against a specific meta when preparing for games in other regions.

Mostly I am interested to know that how the meta of compares between the regions. Does anyone know of times when two regional teams fought with their own respective metas and one demolished the other?

Side question, if everyone knows and follows the meta, is it actually a benefit or a negative? I could envision a team knowing that the opposing team was going to follow the meta and purposely break the meta to counter the other team more effectively?
