texts: Can I join my armies to my liege's armies?

texts:
I'm trying to play CK2 as a minor count in the service of the King of England, and whenever the King goes to war, I don't seem to be very involved in it – I can basically ignore everything that's going on and just focus on my own holding. If I want to join my liege's wars, I have to raise my own levies and basically follow him around, always one step behind.

Can I give control of my army to my liege, or somehow join my 600 men to his 12000-strong army?

texts: How can I increase my chances of finding Awestones?

texts:
In Dark Souls 2, there is the Covenant of Champions, which requires you to find Awestones that drop from certain enemies, at certain rates. For example, any invader has a 100% chance to drop an Awestone. Some NPC's also have 100% chance of dropping one.

However, other enemies in the game can drop them as well, just at an incredibly low rate.

So my question is in 3 parts:

Which NPC's drop Awestones?
At what rate do other enemies drop Awestones?
Can I increase my chances of finding them, and if so, how?

I'm running around Mars and Ashley started with 6 grenades, as I've got her grenade tree upgraded significantly.

I had her toss a bunch in the first combat and she was down to 3, and then later on in the mission she was back up to 6. I thought maybe it was from picking up ammo packs, so to test I had her throw one grenade and then I picked up some ammo. She was still at 5 grenades instead of going back up to 6, though. I don't remember specifically seeing any grenades that I picked up, so I'm not sure where they're coming from.

How do I get more grenades?

In the Diablo games (I, II and III), the player controls a warrior of some kind (sorcerer, barbarian, etc.), which is basically human (except in III, where he is a Nephalem, but I am not exactly sure how that makes the differnce). Eventually, the player gets to defeat great demons, including Mephisto, Baal, Malthael, etc.

In the Diablo world, how do they explain this? How can a human ever be powerful enough to defeat a demon, especially the Prime Evils?


texts:
I'm making a custom map for myself where I can play certain battle simulations out to see how units fare against each other (and practice micro).

I would love to prompt the player for text input like this "which units do you want created this time?", and then have a string parser parse input like "2 zeal, 4 marine" and automatically create an army with whatever I textually ask for. I can think of no faster way.

So my question is: is there any trigger which can receive textual input from user?

If you can think of a better way to do what I want, then please place that as a comment, not an answer.


texts: With WoD, should I level to 60 then use a boost?

texts:
Eventually I'm going to buy Legion, and it comes with a level 100 boost.
Leveling a character to level 60 gives you a boost in your professions in addition to all the other bonuses for boosting to level 100.
With the release of Warlords of Draenor, professions seem to be rather easy to boost on their own, you can craft Draenor related items to boost a new profession fairly quickly using just the auction house and some gold (apart from Mining, Herbing, and Skinning).

So since professions can be "bought" with gold in this way now, I was wondering if it is mathematically worth leveling a character up to 60?
Leveling costs X hours of leveling, Y hours of profession making, and Z gold.
 - Boosting from level 60, Y = 0 hours and Z = 0 gold because you don't need to use any money or time on professions, but you need to use time to level
 - Boosting from level 1, X = 0 hours because you don't need to spend any time leveling.

I was wondering, how much time (on average) would you need to spend to get to level 60, and
how much time would you need to spend (at level 100) to make the amount of gold needed to "purchase" your professions (again on average).


texts: Mega Stone of chosen Starter Pokemon buyable?

texts:
If I am choosing Charmander as my starter, will I be able to buy the Charizardite Mega Stone again?
So I could buy another one and trade it to someone else.

Edit:

I just found this site and it says: "You can always try trading for them, of course, but, because each game contains just one of these items per playthrough, you'd have make a pretty persuasive offer."

Or here which says: "If you didn't get it from him, you will be able to buy it from a man in the Stone Emporium in Lumiose City in the postgame."
I'm not sure about the if here.

I want to be 100% sure about this. It sounds like you wont get the Mega Stone of your Starter twice.

texts: Does the Deathstar still have it's "One shot one kill" feature?

texts:
I am currently grinding my way up the British Tank Destroyer Line, and I am at Tier 7 (AT 7 Tank Destroyer.) I am contemplating whether I should continue grinding the line, or abandon it and move onto a heavy tank line. I have seen some videos on YouTube, some say it is still worth it after the latest update, others are saying it got hit with the Nerf bat and has become nothing more than a horizontal artillery, thus making it not worth the grind.

Long story short, does the Deathstar still have it's "One shot one kill" feature or would I be better off playing in the KV-2?

Thanks Again.

texts: What happens to food I don't digest before the day is over?

texts:
One of the many (many) mechanics presented in the World Ends with You is the idea of eating and digesting food. Food items give an immediate benefit upon consumption (I've only seen sync % increases so far) and an additional one when fully digested.

Each food is takes a certain amount of "bytes" to fully digest, where one byte is equivalent to one round of combat. Seeing how there is a maximal amount of bytes that can be taken per day, it would be a shame not to use them all up (as the counter is reset, and you miss out on the potential bonuses you would have gotten).

My question is, what happens to food I've only partially digested when the day is over? Let's say I eat something that takes 10 bytes to digest, and then I only fight 5 groups of enemies before the day ends. I still have 5 more bytes to go before receiving that food item's digestion bonus. Do I simply miss out on the bonus? Do the remaining 5 bytes carry over to the next day, counting towards its limit? Something else?

texts: Minecraft floor crafting deletes previous results

texts:
I want to make a command block system that allow players to craft custom heads using a regular player head and a specific item by throwing these items on the floor. The system works fine, except for one thing. When i craft a custom head and leave it on the ground and craft another head the same way, the first head gets killed by the command blocks. This is ofcourse undesirable, therefore I would like to ask this community for some help.

Before anyone asks: all command blocks are always active, the first command block is in repeat mode and the rest is in chain mode. The last two command blocks are conditional.
These are the commands in the order of the command blocks:

1) scoreboard players tag @e[type=Item,tag=!baseSkull] add baseSkull {Item:{id:"minecraft:skull",Damage:3s,Count:1b}}
2) scoreboard players tag @e[type=Item,tag=!D_InventorItem] add D_InventorItem {Item:{id:"minecraft:red_mushroom",Count:1b}}
3) /execute @e[tag=baseSkull] ~ ~ ~ execute @e[tag=D_InventorItem,r=1] ~ ~ ~ execute @e[type=Arrow,r=1,c=1] ~ ~ ~ summon Item ~ ~ ~ {Item:{id:"minecraft:skull",Damage:3s,Count:1b,tag:{SkullOwner:"D_Inventor"}},Tags:["D_InventorSkull"]}
4) /execute @e[tag=D_InventorSkull] ~ ~ ~ kill @e[tag=baseSkull,r=1]
5) /execute @e[tag=D_InventorSkull] ~ ~ ~ kill @e[tag=D_InventorItem,r=1]

Clarification:

1) Tag all player heads with the baseSkull tag if they don't have it already.

2) Tag all red mushroom items with the D_InventorItem tag if they don't have it already. The red mushroom is therefore the item to get my head.

3) summon a player skull with the D_Inventor skin at the location of the items. This skull spawns with the D_InventorSkull tag already present. Notice that this command only works if there is an Arrow entity in the area, therefore you have to shoot the items with a bow to complete the crafting.

4 + 5) delete all the ingredients around the custom player head.

I know where this goes wrong. The custom player head has the same id and damage value as a regular player head. When a custom player head spawns, it is tagged with the baseSkull tag in the next cycle, so it has both the D_InventorSkull tag and the baseSkull tag. When I craft a new custom head, the fourth command block executes at all the D_InventorSkull items and deletes all the baseSkull items around it. Since the first skull has both the baseSkull and the D_InventorSkull tag, it deletes itself.
When I pick up the custom head and then throw it on the ground, it loses its D_InventorSkull tag and then the custom head doesn't get deleted when I craft a new one.

The question is: How do I solve this?
My first solution was to check for each playerskull if it has no tags and only then tag it with the baseSkull tag. The command would the look like this:

scoreboard players tag @e[type=Item,tag=!baseSkull] add baseSkull {Item:{id:"minecraft:skull",Damage:3s,Count:1b},Tags:[]}

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work. When I throw a regular player skull on the ground, the command block gives an error saying that the DataTag doesn't match. This error doesn't occur when I don't use the extra Tags:[] DataTag.

so... What would be the correct way to prevent previous skulls from deleting themselves when I craft a new skull?

I play in the latest release(1.12.1).

A streamer let their sims 4 game run while they took a nap, and we, viewers, watched while this household slowly spiralled into chaos with various things around the house breaking. There was however one problem. When a sim is at their work, they sometimes have a 'dilemma' that requires human interaction. A popup appears in the game with a situation at work and the player needs to choose one out of 2 options. This pauses the game, and will not disappear until the player clicks.

This made me wonder. Is there a configuration setting to either disable this popup or to auto-resolve the popup by choosing one of the options automatically?

texts:
I cannot beat Mossdeep gym leaders. Psychic with Earthquake just one-shot kills my Pokémon, that are slower than enemies and even my most powerful Pokemon make very little dent for Claydol and that before it uses Light screen.
Their Pokemon Lineup is:

  Claydol LV. 41 and Xatu LV. 41
  Lunatone LV. 42 and SolRock LV. 42

Mine:

  Spheal Lv.30 Surf, Ice Ball, Body Slam, Aurora Beam
  Sableeye Lv.34 Torment, Knock off, Faint Attack, Night shade
  Linoone Lv. 39 Rock Smash, cut, Dig, Headbutt
  Swellow Lv. 43 Steel Wing, Fly, Endeavor, Aerial Ace
  Swampert Lv. 42 Mud Shot, Take Down, Muddy Water, Surf
  Girafarig Lv. 37 Batton Pass, Confusion, Stomp, Agility

I have also few Pokémon that are pretenders in lineup to change them (above team is not my default I made to defeat leader):

  Torkoal Lv. 34 (normally switches out Sabbleye)
  Baltoy Lv. 27 (grinding up to switch out Girafarrig)
  Wailmer Lv.45 (caught recently, should I use him, normally I was going phase out swampert for spheal as I will grind it up as water/Ice Pokemon)
  Keckleon Lv. 32 (not using it).
  Castform Lv. 30 (not using it anymore).

How can I improve my lineup and do I need to do much level grinding? What moves should I teach Pokémon to defeat that gym?

texts:
I'm playing Okami on Nintendo Wii and I noticed that the attack movement with the brush sometimes doesn't work as it should, mainly on the parts with Susano, where you should make him think he is attacking things. On normal combat, I can slash the demons without problems.

Is this an issue with the game or is it my controllers or is there a right technique to do the attacks?


texts: Hotkey for multiple weapon/magic setups?

texts: I know about the favorite menu (Q) but is there a quicker way to change gear? Like the hotkey bar (circle) in Oblivion, there you could add weapons and spells to keys 0 to 9. That would be very convenient, especially for my caster that need to change through different damage spells, summons, weapons and torches. My rogue would benefit from it too since he uses daggers, bows and soon has the invisibility too. opening up the Q menu and selecting them manually is taking the immersion away too.


texts: How can I stop guards congregating in yards?

texts:
I have a legendary prisoner who owing to his murdering tendencies needs to be kept in an isolated super max cell.  In it, he has access to most things that he needs including a yard.

The theory is that he will only ever come into contact with armed guards as they are the only ones who can really put him down when he gets into a bit of a rampage.

Unfortunately unarmed guards like to hang around in his personal yard leading to situations such as this:

How can I stop my guards assembling in this yard?  Happy to do this through effective in game zoning/deployment or through the use of mods/file editing.


texts: Can you retaliate in any way when a civ breaks its promise?

texts:
In Civ6, can you retaliate in any way (or does the other civ suffer any other penalty, such as damaged reputation) when a civilization breaks a promise?

For example I asked another civ several times not to convert my cities to their religion (while we were allied to each other!) and they broke that promise repeatedly. It didn't seem like there was anything official I could do about it, other than denouncing them once our alliance ended.

The annoying thing is that I wasn't even able to break the alliance early, so I had to wait a long time to have a Holy War Casus Belli against them for violating the promise.

but I need a towny compatible solution.

Any ideas how can I get unlimited flint?

EDIT:

And I only need a way to convert gravel into flint instead of placing it and digging it every time... i need like thousands of flints...

texts: Is there a mod for Dwarf Fortress which makes ux better?

texts:
I've played Dwarf Fortress for a while and my only problem with it is that the UX is terrible. The controls I have to use are not consistent. Sometimes the same menu behaves in a different way depending on context and so on. So my question is whether there is a mod which fixes (or at least tries to fix) the UX issues with Dwarf Fortress without having to use external tools?

I've tried Dwarf Therapist, Stonesense and Lazy newb pack which are good but I don't like that I always have to Alt+Tab out of the game if I have to switch roles and such.

So the main thing is that I like the ASCII art and I can install a texture pack which makes it even better but the controls are disastrous. Is there a mod to make the UI better without external tools?

texts: How many times should I expect to summon in a given play through?

texts:
I've looked at Are summons random? and some other guides on summoning in Final Fantasy XV, and I'm still feeling a bit confused.  I'm currently on chapter 14 and I have been given the prompt to summon only twice in the entire game thus far (~40 hours played), and that's including one story-driven summoning.

Is this normal?  I feel especially in the last couple chapters, myself and my party members have been in danger quite often, so based on some of the guides, I'm surprised the astrals have not offered me more assistance.

Should this just be chalked up to bad luck?  How many times do most players summon in a given playthrough outside of story-driven summons?

My two summons include (minor spoiler)...

   Ramuh as part of the story to destroy that base and Ramuh at random.  Were it not for online guides, I would have no idea it was even possible to summon any of the other astrals....

texts:
Alcatel OneTouch 983, Android 2.3.7

I needed more colours, so I picked up the free Despicable Me 2 colour set from the shop.  The five new colours have appeared at the beginning of the palette; however, two of the five basic colours have been pushed off the screen.

So now I have 10 colours, as confirmed on the shop screen.  However, I can only access 8 of them.  I imagined that swiping my finger across the palette would scroll it, but it doesn't (in either direction).

How am I supposed to get at my blue and green now?  Help me please!


texts: Breath of the Wild - Divine Beast Vah Medoh Glitch

texts:
I've finished all four of the individual Divine Beast Quests, but the main "Free the Divine Beasts" quest still says "there is one left". When I beat Vah Medoh I saw no cutscene, like the other beasts, where it was shooting the laser thing towards the Castle, I was never given Revali's Gale, and when I fast-travel to Vah Medoh I end up on that really tall rock near Rito Village but Medoh is nowhere to be found... Anyone experience this glitch and/or know any way to fix it?

Update: Just beat the game and the cutscene w/ Medoh firing the laser occurred, but I still never received Revali's Gale.

Second Update: Played through the game fresh from the start and did not encounter this issue the second time around.

texts: Is the Furtive Pygmy dark souls 2 invasion a special event or a player character?

texts:
So, I was playing in the Iron Keep doing some pVp, and had decided to quit when I tried to log out and couldn't. I hadn't activated any invasion signs and got invaded by a dark spirit "Furtive Pygmy". What's weird is the invader didn't have the tell-tale red glow like regular invaders do. Additionally the furtive pygmy had a "special" face in that wasn't a typical face you could get in the character generator, or the look of a hallowed PC, it had some sort of scabbing and growth over the left side of it's face, which I don't remember being possible to make. The character had no armor (just a loincloth) and a big freaking spear that it quite decidedly womped me with. Additionally, there didn't seem to be any network lag at all, which is weird since I'm playing via wireless carrier, which made me think it was an in game invasion.

While I realize that it may just be a player character named "Furtive Pygmy" (which unless he logged in and answered directly would be very difficult to verify), I'm curious if this is an NPC invasion. Given the nature of the Furtive Pygmy in dark souls lore, it'd be very interesting it it were.


texts: Why do I still I get money from my drivers after I've fired them all?

Loading previous saves and then firing them doesn't work. Verifying game cache does not help either. I've disabled all mods, sold all the garages and trucks, used g_force_economy_reset 1, but still no results.

texts:
In World of Warcraft, you can create guild events in the built-in calendar, however creating events that recur is extremely painful. You can copy an event, but there is a time limit between creating events, thus mass pasting takes several minutes for each event.

Is there a more straightforward way to create events in the calendar that repeat on a certain schedule, such as weekly?

texts: How Far Is Too Far When Turning The Potentiometer On The GameCube Disc Drive?

texts: Can I block creation of new Nether Portals in vanilla Minecraft?

texts:
In vanilla Minecraft, is it possible to block creation of new Nether portals? This is for a Survival/Adventure hybrid map; I want the player to have a great deal of freedom, but to control access to the Nether to portals I've placed in the world.  I can ask players to not build new portals, but it would be nice to have the rule mechanically enforced.

Possibilities include: somehow detecting and destroying the Nether portal blocks when they appear; not allowing the portal to be activated in the first place, and damaging the obsidian frame; somehow "tainting" any obsidian in the world or created so it's no longer eligible to be part of a port.

I'm at a loss for what a solution might look like beyond "Probably some command blocks." Trying to /testforblock every block in the world seems impractical.

texts: Several Screen Recording Softwares Tested, All Create Empty Black Frames

texts:
I have tested screen recording with Open Broadcaster Software and HyperCam2. Both software have produced full screen videos (HyperCam 2 had better quality, but greater file size using defaults). It seemed to work fine, but once the Starcraft 2 game loads, it would flicker black frames very frequently in its output. I was playing the game on full resolution, and "ultra" settings. Given the specs on my computer, I feel like it should be able to handle the game and recording simultaneously. Any advice or tips on how to record or fix this. Should I try to record in windowed mode? This seems like a workaround, that I can easily test, but I am open to other suggestions as well.

After the Foundation update of No Mans Sky, Signal Scanners, as we used to know them, are gone (and this makes all answers to this related question outdated). You got the power of building them wherever you want, but something is still wrong.

Or am I wrong? Is there a way to find crashed ships much more frequent? Is there a way to scan for Transmission Towers?

texts: How can Rengar be effective if he fails his early game snowball?

texts:
Rengar seems somewhat underpowered to me. Or rather, under worked. He is extremely powerful if he has 4 to 6 stacks on his tooth, but if his early game doesn't go well and he doesn't get tooth stacks, he falls off very hard in mid-game. How can I continue to contribute a presence in teamfights as Rengar without tooth stacks?

Rengars 'tooth' is an item that gains stacks with kills or assists. Deaths remove 1 stack, and a kill or assist adds 1 stack. Upon 3, 6, 9, and 14 stacks he gets extra bonus stats. (ie: movement speed, cooldown reduction, etc.) The tooth costs a hefty 800 gold and only gives 10 damage +2 per level without any stacks. Now, this is rather good as $ per point of damage goes, but damage alone does not win teamfights.

In GTA: San Andreas, I see several people are having problems passing the "Key To Her Heart" mission (Hot Coffee mod):

I can't spank the girl (Millie) hard enough to pass the mission. Some say turn on the Frame Limiter but I have tried more than 2 times and I still can't pass it.


texts: Cannot initialize Tonic Trouble due to not enough space on hard drive?

texts:
I installed the Path of Diablo mod on Diablo 2 + LoD and it works, except for one problem.

Whenever I start the game the Path of Diablo settings are in the top left of the play area, taking about 1/4 of the screen size.
There are useful options on that screen but I cannot close it.

There is no "close" icon and I tried every key on keyboard but it is still there.
Being so big it prevents clicking on the are below, actually making the game much harder.

Do you know how to close that window?

texts: Why is France hindering me from retaking Wallis and Vaud?

texts:
I play as Switzerland and want to retake the provinces Wallis and Vaud from the Savoyans, because they are rightfully mine.

Savoy has a 10k Army to begin with and their vassal Montferrat has a 3k Army.

This should not really be a problem, but France is an ally within the first month of in-game time.
I don't stand a chance against them.

What would be my best strategy to stop France from allying Savoy?

It would be nice anyway to have some commands to control your ally a bit.

I use the addon Forgotten Empires.


texts: How many rats does it take to get to the center of a corpse-pop?

texts:
I'm starting a ghost/non-lethal run of Dishonored and I know I need to avoid rats eating my victims. I've noticed that single rats do not appear to go after corpses, but big swarms definitely do. So how many rats is enough to start eating corpses? I've noticed they only seem to eat corpses in "swarms" that will also attack the player.

But leaving a single or just a couple rats alive around bodies is okay...right? from further experience it appears that, rarely, randomly spawned rats may be enough to kill unconscious people! I found four rats in the general area of a dead guy, however I'm not 100% sure the rats killed him, as his corpse wasn't eaten to the bone, and I didn't see the rats attack him. It'd be extra useful to know whether or not randomly spawned rats will spawn in great enough numbers to kill an unconscious person.


texts: Games on windows 8 in bootcamp lag even on lowest graphics

texts:
I've been playing Crysis 2 and Skyrim on my Retina MacBookPro (10,1) for months now. The two games used to run super smoothly even on nearly maxed out settings. This laptop has an Nvidia GeForce GT 650M graphics card inside, it runs great.

But I recently replaced my Windows 8 consumer preview with the retail copy, and since then, 3D games lag in this odd way, no matter what the graphics settings. Every second Skyrim and Crysis alternates between running smoothly and lagging. It's a cyclical lag that comes and goes like clockwork. I can turn the graphics down to 800x600 with no antialiasing and low texture quality, and it runs much smoother on the "up" motion of the cycle, but every second it moves back into this lag spike.

I've tried installing beta graphic drivers, reinstalling the operating system, reinstalling the bootcamp support software, and freeing up space (I have about 20 GB free). I can't figure out what suddenly caused this other than some obscure difference between the consumer preview and the retail version.

What can I try? Is my video card failing? Are there some other drivers I can install? This isn't normal lag from maxing out the card.

texts: How to pick up weapons fast and reliably? (to beat IW time for O Cristo Redentor)

texts:
When I'm running and the message "press and hold X for " comes up, and I press it immediately, I always miss it.

It works when I anticipate and start holding X before I reach the weapon.

But when I kill an enemy, the "hold X" often flashes up only for an instant, then disappears. My theory: you can grab it in the moment they die, but then they drop/throw it. So I tried holding X as I kill someone, but this mostly results in a (lengthy) reload.

Is there a trick or technique to it?

I'm trying to beat the IW time of 1:16.20 for "O Cristo Redentor" (MW2, spec ops, Alpha). My best time is 1:30. I average 2:00-2:30.
This incredibly impressive video does it in 0:47.35. A key technique is picking up weapons, and not reloading (plus skill and luck). He's on PC.

EDIT I realized he (klooger28) has a bunch more runs.... including doing it in 38.10.

EDIT2 using that approach (anti-clockwise, picking up dual, and alternating reload hands), I got 1:19... almost there!

BTW: Sometimes there's a weapon's image on the ground, but I can't pick it up - a glitch?

Sometimes it seems I pick up ammo instead of being able to pick up the weapon - I guess this is when the weapon is the same as my present one (or maybe some use the same ammo?). Sometimes, it seems like it might be my secondary's ammo. I guess the only thing is to recognize then it's the same weapon.

I must have tried over 100 times, and can't find anything with google but the above video ... please help!

I'm playing on an Xbox 360 if that matters.

Further to this, if we fail a mission, do we get to start over? Or is that it?


texts: Is any of the Skitty family catchable in either X or Y?

I understand X&Y has only been out for a short while, however I figured some somebody is bound to come across it if it is in the game.

So, if Skitty (or Delcatty) is catchable which route or area is it available in?

However, if those quests never occur, can you still become Thane of Windhelm and gain Hjerim?


texts: How do I get the "Spell" spell in Zelda II?

texts:
I've been playing "Zelda II: The Adventure of Link" for the first time.  I've arrived at New Kasuto Town and the old man there won't teach me his magic.  He just says "Come back when you're ready."

I've been trying to play as unspoiled as possible, but this is cryptic enough that it drove me to consult some online walkthroughs, which are unfortunately unclear and contradictory.

Some walkthroughs say that one needs to have seven magic containers.  I assumed this referred to Link's magic level, which for me was six at the time I looked up the info.  I went out and did some grinding until I leveled it up to seven, but the old man gave me the same response.

Other walkthroughs claim there are only four magic containers in the whole game, and that they're actually items that boost your magic capacity like the heart containers do for your life.  I haven't stumbled across any in my game so far.  I could could go out and collect them, but will this get the old man to change his tune?  The extra heart containers are useful but not necessary to complete the game, as far as I know, so it seems odd that the magic containers would all be required...especially when they're all so well hidden that I haven't found even one, despite making reasonable efforts to be thorough.

Still other walkthroughs don't even mention the "Come back when you're ready" response, probably because they presume the player has been following along with the walkthrough since the beginning.  Not very useful.


texts:
I've only seen three ways to disarm mines so far.

Run near the mines, which starts the countdown.
Run over the mines, which immediately detonates them.
Shoot the mines with ranged weapons, which also immediately detonates them.

Unfortunately, I rarely travel with a ranged weapon. Is there an easy way to clear out minefields with 20+ mines in them? It takes pretty long to play chicken with each mine. Blowing up one mine also doesn't always blow up nearby mines. Is this the only way to get rid of all these mines?


texts: What can I do if the game disconnects while a Pokemon is being caught?

texts:
Sometimes when attempting to capture a Pokémon, the mon will be wiggling in the ball and the app will disconnect from servers (for mobile connection reasons or whatever), and I'll be left staring at a ball containing Schrodinger's Pokémon. I'll sigh at the loss (or in the case of a 500CP Pinsir, scream in agony), and reload the game.

I thought maybe encounters in general couldn't handle disconnecting well, but sometimes immediately after a Pokémon broke free of a ball, the little icon in the upper left would appear, the game would stall for a bit, but it would recover.

Is there anything I can do to avoid this? Should I be waiting it out, instead of reloading?

(and before anyone says it, yes I have filed a bug report)

texts: Usining Forge minecraft on windows 8.1 non-admin accounts

texts:
Since moving onto windows 8.1 I've set up user accounts for my kids- This means I can have separate safety settings on the browsers etc. When installing most apps it's just a case I install on one account (usually mine - the admin account) and it shows up in all the sub-accounts. This is probably because minecraft doesn't install to the programs/ folder.Now I can make a shortcut to the mincraft launcher from the sub accounts and run minecraft that way but Forge isn't present.
 I have installed forge on my admin account and it works fine but if I try install forge while in a sub account it doesn't work.
Has anyone come across this and has a solution or does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks

texts: How can I play Company of Heroes without creating a Relic account

texts:
I got Company of Heroes from the Humble THQ Bundle and after downloading it on Steam I can't seem to play the game without having to create an account with Relic. As far as I understand it, the game has a singleplayer and the text on startup seems to indicate that the account is optional. But I can't find any option to play without creating that account.

Is there any way around this, or do I really have to create an account just to play the singleplayer?

texts: Does resetting and rebuilding EVs at level 100 (in Super Training) affect stats?

texts:
In previous generations, EVs only took effect upon level up, meaning that a level 100 Pokemon was stuck with the EVs you had previously trained it with.

With the edition of Super Training, and specifically, 'Reset Bags', you can re-spec your EVs at any time. But do these new EVs still only take effect upon level up?

Say I have a Gardevoir with mixed EVs on level 100, and I want to respec them into Special Attack & Speed for example, is this now possible? or will Resetting & Reapplying do nothing?


texts: Which guided Engineer anti-tank or ant-vehicle launcher does the most damage?

texts:
I assume that the 2 dumb fire anti-vehicle launchers do the most damage, but I'm not sure which of the locking or guided anti-tank missiles can deal the most damage.

The dumb fire missiles can be great for close engagements, but they can be a little useless for hitting non-stationary armor at range.

If I want to hit a long range target, I want to do as much damage as possible with each hit, regardless of the technical difficulty of landing a hit.  So that gets me wondering which one of the launchers does the most the damage.  Some of the descriptions of the launchers give vague clues to their damage but no definitive info.

Which of the locking or guided anti-tank launchers does the most damage per hit?

(Also as a bonus: do you have a link that lists the damage outputs of the various launchers?)

texts:
I've built roughly 3000 blocks worth of underground railway in my Survival game. There are stations along the way, near interesting features of terrain that require me to press button to continue.

Considering the length of the line, the obligatory stops are becoming tiresome. Currently I've made it so that return trip bypasses the stations, but it's still not optimal. I'd like a way to choose whether I stop or continue before entering the station.

Now the simple way is to hop out of the running cart and then either chase it down or use a rider detector to dump the empty cart onto a side track. That's not very elegant though.

I tried a switch, to switch the railway track before entering the station. Problem: I approach the station really fast and the switch is small. Hitting the switch while on the move is hard, I miss more frequently than I hit it.

The stations are a bit too far apart to send a redstone signal from the start station to pick my goal.

So, are there any graceful techniques how to decide upon a turn or stop of the cart while moving in it fast?

texts: What counts as a "hit" for the new affix on Broken Promises?

texts:
Patch 2.2 re-worked some legendary items, among them the Broken Promises ring.  It's new affix states:

  After 5 consecutive non-critical hits, your chance to critically hit is increased to 100% for 3 seconds.

So, what counts as a hit?  I know regular primary attacks will. But do gem procs, such as Miranae's smite?  The Wreath of Lightning's AoE zapping?  Pet attacks?  Do AoE attacks count only once, or once per monster hit?  What about sustained skills, such as Sweeping Wind?

Way of the Hundred Fists also has an attack that does multiple hits.  You can easily see it calculate crits separately per hit, so do those count as separate hits for the purposes of this affix?

I can see a non-crit build, buffed with as much attack speed as you can stack, keeping this proc up almost 100% of the time.

texts: Is Kalinag supposed to be good or bad? How are Yuma and Kalinag linked?

texts:
I have seen Far Cry 4 game walkthrough videos in YouTube. I have some doubts regarding the role of Kalinag.

When the player first plays as Kalinag (in the first Yogi mission), he kills Rakshasas (the bad guys) and finally frees a bell whose sound protects the region later (its sound kills Rakshasas). So here, Kalinag is considered good. But later, in a fight with Yuma (who is linked with Rakshasas), Ajay somehow fights with Kalinag and kills him. Here, Kalinag is shown as being sided with Yuma (who is bad). Can someone explain how Yuma and Kalinag are linked?

It seems to be able to connect to GooglePlay Services & load the new mission shards, but that's it.  I can't access the store, send/receive gifts to friends, or anything else that requires an Internet connection.  It just gives me pop ups saying I can't do that while offline.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android version 5.0.1 (lollipop).

If anyone has a fix for this let me know.  Or if they know if I can uninstall/reinstall the app without losing all my progress since it stopped registering that it is online, then let me know that too!

Thank You in Advance!  :)

texts:
During Otakon this year I was jamming to various game and anime tracks on my bass in the halls.  Saturday night a Persona cosplayer (can't remember if he was from 3 or 4) came up to me and asked me to play his theme.  Not having played any of the Persona games before, I was completely at a loss for what he was requesting until I remembered that I had been playing the ending to Catherine earlier that day.  I started playing it again, and he's like, "Yeah, that's the one!"

Unfortunately, in all the excitement of the rest of the weekend I forgot which character he was, and while researching this has produced some enjoyable hours spent on YouTube, I haven't found anything that I would have mistaken for Catherine's ending.

Can anyone pin down the character in question?

EDIT
Here's the song I was playing:


texts: Are there advantages to not killing Big Daddies in BioShock?

texts:
I just now picked up BioShock. I have yet to face a Big Daddy, but have been introduced to them via an in game cut scene. Before I engage in mortal combat with one I had a question about the necessity to engage them. I think I remember reading / hearing that you could complete BioShock without killing any Big Daddies or Little Sisters. It's also entirely possible that you can't and my memory is foggy.

Can you complete the game without killing any Big Daddies? If you can are their benefits to doing so? Are there disadvantages for not killing them?

I ask because unfortunately, I generally don't have time to replay games so look to complete them with the best outcome possible. I am very early on in the game so please answer with as few spoilers as possible.

texts: Are item passives implicitly passed on into higher tier items?

texts:
When upgrading an item with a passive effect into another item, is this passive still included in the upgraded item, even when not specified? It seems counter-intuitive that it would not, but I am still unsure.

For example, Seeker's Armguard has a passive which grants 0.5 armour and ability power upon killing a unit, stacking up to 30 times. Seeker's Armguard then builds into Zhonya's Hourglass, which does not list the same passive effect (it only has a unique active: stasis). Am I to assume it does in fact include the Seeker's Armguard passive effect and it is just hidden, or that it does not?

I got the following error when I tried to start my Minecraft server:

What does this error mean?

texts: Do I benefit from assigning skill points to both weapon sub-skills?

texts:
When assigning skill points (SP) to weapons, I can put points in Damage and Survivability (slightly different between weapon types). In order to fulfill the SP requirement for being able to wield a weapon, points in either skill are sufficient.

How does this work exactly? If I would spend points on both sub-skills would I get both the damage and evasion boost? Or does only the higher one get used? Is it wise to fill them up both if you have the points (as a mainly tank role)?

texts: LAN Multiplayer problems in Empire: Total War on Mac

texts:
I am trying to play Empire: Total War Gold Edition (purchased on the Mac App Store) on two different Macs (one with 10.9.5 and one with 10.8.5) using the Local Multiplayer feature of the game.

Whenever we try to launch a sea battle, we are able to select our ships, and go the battle, where we are able to position our ships, but when we try to start the battle, we are prompted with an error of a desync (I don't know the exact wording).

The only solution I have found after Googling around for over an hour was to mirror the graphics settings between the two installs, which we did (on multiple presets). We are also running the same screen resolution, and are both signed out of Game Center.

Any suggestions to fix this?


texts: How do I uninstall Black Mesa if it wasn't installed via Steam?

texts:
Black Mesa provides a standalone installer that extracts the game to the Steam folder, so Steam can manage launching the game as well as providing the Steam Overlay in-game.

However, Steam doesn't manage uninstalling the game as it wasn't installed through Steam (the game has been Greenlit but it's not yet available in the store as of Sep 2012 and is now available for download via Steam). How do I completely uninstall Black Mesa in this case? It seems I can just remove the steamapps/SourceMods/BMS folder and the shortcut from steam/games, then restart Steam, but I'm not sure if that covers it entirely.
