texts: What is wrong with this custom command sign?

texts:
When I try give myself my custom command sign using a command block, it says this:

[14:16:02] Data tag parsing failed: Unexpected token 'H' at: Honjo Masamune\\",Lore:[\\"The Honjo Masamune is the finest sword ever made.\\",\\"It was created by Masamune,the best swordsmith to ever live\\"]},AttributeModifiers:[{AttributeName:\\"generic.movementSpeed\\",Name:\\"generic.movementSpeed\\",Amount:40,Operation:1,UUIDMost:70725,UUIDLeast:981697},{AttributeName:\\"generic.attackDamage\\",Name:\\"generic.attackDamage\\",Amount:140,Operation:1,UUIDMost:84742,UUIDLeast:31325}],ench:[{id:0,lvl:120},{id:1,lvl:120},{id:2,lvl:120},{id:3,lvl:120},{id:4,lvl:120},{id:5,lvl:120},{id:6,lvl:120},{id:7,lvl:120},{id:8,lvl:120},{id:16,lvl:120},{id:17,lvl:120},{id:18,lvl:120},{id:19,lvl:120},{id:20,lvl:120},{id:21,lvl:120},{id:32,lvl:120},{id:34,lvl:120},{id:35,lvl:120},{id:48,lvl:120},{id:49,lvl:120},{id:50,lvl:120},{id:51,lvl:120}],HideFlags:7,Unbreakable:1}\"}}"

In this quest, there are multiple chances to persuade people (the guard and Sibbi, twice). How much Speech is required to successfully persuade them?

The reason that I phrased the title so, instead of as "how much Speech do I need to persuade...", is because I know that the Amulet of Articulation is an alternative to Speech, thus there are alternatives.

Find [something] as an artifact and then decode it?
Decode something?
All of the above?

or how?


texts: How can I see my uncategorized friends in the new Steam friends UI?

texts:
I get a lot of friend requests, and I use a combination of categories and nicknames to help gauge who stays and who goes. In short, if they belong in a category, they stay on my friends list. Everyone in the default "Friends" section gets removed after several weeks if I don't interact with them. However, with the new Steam friends UI, I can't seem to find any way to get the default "Friends" category back.

How can I see all my Steam friends that don't belong to a category?

texts: What's a benefit of timing Satellite Uplink facilities so that they finish by the end of the month?

texts:
Next guide has quite a few of nice advises (spoilers beware): http://www.manapool.co.uk/xcom-enemy-unknown-classic-ironman-strategy-guide/

Although I don't get one of them:

  Always time Satellite Uplink facilities so that they finish by the end of the month. There is no point buying them if they wont finish before the end of the month, wait until next month in that case.

What's a point? If you wait till next month for Uplink, then it will take 14 days to construct and 20 days for satellites for this uplink, thus you wouldn't be able to provide satellites the same month.

Any ideas?

texts:
So I took advice from some guides regarding picking up items for gathering professions early on, and have myself a copper scythe, copper mining pick and copper axe.

In some areas though, whenever I gather I end up with 'ruined ore' or 'ruined wood', which when hovered over for the tooltip in the inventory screen suggests I should get better tools to prevent wasting gathers.

How many different levels of cools are there, and where can I get each level of tool from?

Is it worth getting these early on or are they generally a waste in the lower level areas?

texts:
I just started playing Space Hulk: Deathwing and one of the highest damage dealers that have appeared so far are some of the stationary turrets located throughout the maps. So far, I've only found them in two states; active and hostile towards me or deactivated but, if reactivated, will be hostile towards me.

I'm able to destroy/disable them or hack them and control them manually to take advantage of their damage output but this takes time and I generally prefer my assault cannon and power fist to risking something going south while I wait for the progress bar (as happened before to my poor apothecary).

My question is: Is it possible to either find a turret that is friendly towards you or hack them to make them friendly? I would find automated turret support to be very helpful in many situations.


texts: Detect hurt players in Minecraft Education Edition

texts: I'm trying to make a Among Us map in Minecraft Edu, but I can't find a way to detect if the player was hit by another player, because I don't want to show that "Player was killed by Player", because it would make too obvious that someone was killed. I tried using the instant health effect to detect when the player was healed, but it didn't work.


texts: How do I disable tanks with the AT rifle?

texts:
I've been playing an anti-tank recently. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be that much documentation on how to use the AT rifles, and the game itself offers precious little feedback.

So far the most detailed and readable schematics I've found are the ones on Tripwire's own wiki, but they don't list all the targetable systems.

I suppose this question can be split into three:

Where are all the weak spots on both the Soviet and German tanks?
What effect does disabling each of them have?
How do I tell whether my hit disabled (not just hit/damaged) something important?

My own findings so far. Some are based on various guides, others my own.

AT rifles lose effectiveness over range, but they still work at ranges most combat takes place in the game (150 metres or so). Angle of attack is also important. Hitting an armour plate at 90 degrees can, in theory, pierce it, while anything under 45 will probably ricochet even off an unarmoured surface.

Tiny sprays of spark are shots that don't penetrate. Medium-sized puffs of smoke mean something was damaged. Large explosions are just explosions, but strangely enough, they don't seem fatal. A crew member's death is indicated by a large spray of blood, but I've only seen that happen from other tank shots.

A hit that damages anything at all definitely draws the tank's attention to you, allowing other AT soldiers a clearer shot.

An obvious weak spot is the engine: hitting it once or twice is enough to blow up the tank. But that's only possible from behind.

Tracks are exposed most of the time. Hitting the front and rear wheels on each side messes with the tank's mobility, but cannot destroy it.

When all else fails, shooting near the centre of the tracks seems to do some damage, but can take anywhere from 4 to 20+ shots to score a kill.

Also, I scored kills firing on these spots:
Pz.Kpfw. IV:
From the front, right in the centre of its hull. Was already heavily damaged by a friendly tank.
Slightly to the side, base of the main gun. Did I hit a shell?

texts: Whats the most common collective hp of any one hero?

texts:
Is there some way to accumulate the data and find, within the range of 400 hp give or take, the average number of hitpoints a champion has? Regardless of their inventory build or perhaps even including that factor? Bonus points for including the per level of exp.

The purpose of this question is to formulate an exact plan to do the required amount of damage to an enemy champion at any given moment to bring your dps to the point of 'usually' killing for sure.

Sure, some heroe's cant burst appropriatly enough, but those that can could really benefit from such a stradegy. You know the 'point' in your build where your effectiveness dps will (usually) allow you to 1v1 a hero.

So, what's the best way to level up cards?  Does pink cake work better on pink cards?  Should I use as many cake at a time as possible?  Is mixing different colors of cake ever a good idea?

texts: Why can I never form a club affiliation?

texts:
On Football Manager 2012, I am currently a club in the top tier of Croatian football.
I have three feeder clubs (all in Croatia). As I've been at the club for quite a while, the board allows me the option to pick my own feeder club.

Obviously, I want to expand my scouting knowledge; so I try to pick a club in  another country. I've tried for ones that are nearby e.g. Slovenia, Montenegro and these have a lower reputation than my club.

I've tried this many times now and the board have always failed to reach an agreement, even when I've had a change of strategy and gone for a Sierra Leonean side!

Why is this? Should I try something different?


texts: Does the Avogadro have to be killed with an EMP for the Tower of Babble

texts:
So I've been through watching the videos on YouTube to find out how to do this ball-buster of an achievement. Me and a friend thought we'd try out doing it two player seeing as it's been proven that it's possible.

We finally got the Avogadro under the pylon and killed him with the galvaknuckles in the hope that he would travel up the pylon and we could continue. But he didn't go up!

Does he have to be killed with the EMPs? Are we really expected to repeatedly try again until we get the EMPs out of the box? Seriously?

Thanks.


texts: How can I make a command that puts an output when an entity count is above a certain number?

texts:
I need an execute command that outputs as 'true' when the number of Iron Ingots on the ground is above 100. I have attempted this in the only two ways I could think of, and so far neither have been successful.

The first thing I tried was to make a comparator output from the Command Block with /execute if @e [nbt.... That only outputs a signal strength of 1, no matter how many Iron Ingots there were.
The other way I tried was to use a limit, but that would only work if I needed it to put an output if it was less than 100.

[edit] OK so somebody marked this question as a duplicate of how to count items on the ground, so I have to explain why its not apparently. So the other one specifically asked about bed-wars. This one could be applied to bed wars I guess, but the other one didn't answer my question. (well somebody might have I was just too dumb to understand it.) So I redid the question into this one, which again is just for my knowledge about command blocks, so if I need something like this in the future. Sorry if my edit was a little wordy, I have never been good at English anyway.

texts: What is the difference between "at" and "positioned" in "/execute"?

texts:
The /execute command is a versatile command used to execute commands on behalf of other entities, or to test for conditionals before executing a command. It offers multiple different parameters to set who, what, when, and where to execute the command.

There are two parameters that look very similar: at and positioned as.
The Minecraft Wiki has a clear description of what each one does: at is used to position at an entity, while positioned can be used to specify coordinates.

But however, there is another way to specify an entity: using positioned as ??. This also offers us to specify an entity instead of coordinates to execute the command at.

What is the difference between these two parameters, and in which situations should I prefer each of them?


texts: How do I legitimately find the codes for the door and vault in chapter 2-3?

texts:
My daughter is currently playing through Super Paper Mario on the Wii and has reached Chapter 2-2, the one where you "break" the vase and are put to slave labour to earn a million Rubees... unless you're smart enough to escape.

The problem is for the life of me I can't remember how to get the codes to the door on the 2nd floor or the vault hidden on the 3rd (and she won't let me take the controller and work it out for her).

I've had a look at a few walkthroughs and they all just give you the code for the vault.

So, outside of this obvious cheat, how would you legitimately get the codes for the doors?


texts: What is the maximum z-level I can reach?

texts:
I have had a really excellent idea for a small megaproject (a kiloproject?), but I don't think I can see enough z-levels to build the whole thing.  It would need 20-30 above the ground, and IIRC I can only see about 10.  So, is there actually a hard ceiling (as it were) that I may run into, or will DF add levels as necessary so I can build as high as I care to?

Incidentally, my kiloproject is a red (bauxite) pyramid, topped with a black (obsidian) inverted pyramid, and maybe some stupid magma tricks.  My nobledwarves will be so pleased.

I'd love it if our new Xbox One could also send video through the Chromecast - (as my girlfriend has pointed out a few times) it would be a shame to complicate the uber-simple setup we have right now.

If it sounds like I'm totally ignorant about gaming systems.. yeah well, I'm 36 and this is my first console so you nailed it.

texts: Replacement for Archmage Antonidas in Mech Mage

texts:
As a nice visualization of the Mech Mage decklists shows, all of the examined professional players use Archmage Antonidas in their Mech Mage decks. From what I understand Antonidas provides a lot more reach to the deck, you get enough spare parts to activate in in a Mech Mage and decks with such a low curve tend to run out of steam quickly if you don't win fast.

I wanted to try out one of these Mech Mage decks, but I don't have an Antonidas. The way it works is also unique, and I don't have any idea on which card could reasonably replace him. Which other cards, preferably non-legendary, could replace Antonidas in these decks and provide a similar function?

texts: How do I progress in the "Mori Mountain Estate" mod?

texts:
Before I say anything, here is a link to the mod that I am referencing: http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=mods.detail&id=275

So, there's this mod called "Mori Mountain Estate". It is, in essence, a HUGE housing mod in Balmora. It has a self organizing/selfstacking library, lots of secrets hidden throughout, and, a HUGE dungeon with strange things underneath it.

Firstly, you need to be like level 50 and a Master of Alchemy to even hope to crack it's depths effectively. It's full of OP equipment, and absurdly powerful monsters both unique and familiar, many of them stronger and more numerous than anything in the main game.

Each 'boss' unique monster drops a key, or at least most do. The final one as far as I can tell is a Spriggan looking witch thing that does an unholy shit ton of fire damage, and an extremely cryptic and creepy unique book (from the mod) referencing the fate of the one who made the estate. The book is found near her 'cage'.

There is a sarcophagus, you will notice, before the dungeon even begins, and 'seals' that I ASSUME have something to do with the keys somehow, but I can't figure any of it out. The dungeon ends HELLA abruptly, and I feel like there is something I am MISSING. Something else that can be done that references the (5, I think. The number of unique bosses on the mod) seals outside the sarcophagus.

There are tons of books that the man, "Zureel", in the nearby tavern in Balmora who sells you the house also sells, that have lots of lore from Hammerfell and on the house in particular. I have tried contacting the maker of the mod, but to no avail. I have no idea what is farther on in the 'questline' of this mod.

I don't care how you do it. Through hacks, cheats, looking at code like some of you smarty pantses know how.

I really gotta know what I'm supposed to do/what else is in the mod. I've had the idea that perhaps one could look at characters/models/references that the mod creates in the actual mod files. Find the ones that aren't Zureel/any of the bosses/find any triggers or dialogues associated with them, equipment drops/etc.... but I don't know how to do that shit, though. I dunno.

You guys figure it out. :)

I just REALLY wanna know. It's been eating at me for like a year.

texts: How can the damage value of elemental effects be weighed?

texts:
Let me start  by citing the specific situation that prompted this question.

Early in the 1st Borderlands (limited carrying capacity) I had to choose between 2 sniper rifles. The first had 198 damage, but 4x Explosive Element Effect; the second had 247 damage AND triple the fire rate.

I've looked online but can't find any tables or explanations of the damage value of any of the elemental effects (including increased chances i.e. 1x 2x etc.), so that i could compare the weapons.

So, does anyone know how this is calculated?


texts: Are there any risks to leaving my xbox one on all the time?

texts:
I'm running my DVR (TiVo) through the Xbox one, as is recommended.  But my wife doesn't want the extra steps of turning on the xbox and selecting "watch TV" every time she wants to watch something.

By leaving the xbox on all the time, it becomes transparent, so the DVR is full screen when she turns it on.  The xbox shell is (ironically) most hidden if it's always on.

Is there any risk or reason to bother with turning it off when not in use (other than electricity use - I'm already considering and weighing that cost in dollars and environmental impact.)


texts: Is Swapnote initially installed internally?

texts:
The Nintendo 3DS XL comes with Swapnote preinstalled. Is it preinstalled on the internal memory? Or is it on the included SD card?

I know it can be deleted via Data Management, so it's not built-in to the system and has to be stored somewhere.

I can't test because I deleted (and later redownloaded it) already, and it definitely downloads to the SD card when done manually.

texts:
I've found and looted most of the power armor frames in the Wasteland. Where can I find X-01 armor pieces?

This game is weird, to me, in that they slap you with the level dependent bit, AND random number generator, and I had the locations of the frames too early. Some of them, like 35 Court, or whatever, are just as hard, regardless of my level, but the prize is less.

I found a suit with X-01 parts, in the Glowing Sea, but it only had three parts. The only people I've fought wearing PA are Raiders, who have junk suits, and if I did fight BoS (I'm allied with them, this playthrough), I expect they all have T-60.

Will the Atom Cats ever sell X-01? Are there any other places to just find some parts lying around, even without the frame? Did I shoot myself in the foot, and am SOL, due to my exploring?

I found one by Jamaica Plains, but it was still T-60, at level 32; it might've level-locked from when I first went to Jamaica Plains, I don't know. I really wish some loot was "we made this hard, but if you can get it...", rather than "this will be post-game armor, almost no matter what? I spent a lot of time looking for the "surefire" locations for X-01 armors, and wasn't aware that they were level-dependent, so I think I've found most of them (11 frames, never bought or stole one), and this might mean I can't get the whole suit, as I was too quick to get them.

Can anyone assist?

I want to use a mod for Company of Heroes (specifically Modern Combat) and am not sure how to install and use a mod on the Mac version of Company of Heroes. It is not a Steam game, it is downloaded from the Mac app store. So, is it possible to mod CoH on the Mac, and if so, how does one do it?

EDIT

I have also tried copying all the files (BattleOfCrete.module, etc.) from the Battle of Crete mod and renaming them to the existing files (RelicCOH.module, etc.). This causes the game to load with the mod's features, but as soon as I start a skirmish, I get a fatal AI error.

texts: What are the requirements for getting "Fortune Strike"?

texts:
After you win a battle in Muramasa: The Demon Blade, you'll get a list of rewards for things you did during the battle, like "Quick Draw Finish" for killing an enemy with a quick draw attack or "Completed Unscathed" for clearing the fight without taking any damage.

One that I get every now and then, but cannot figure out what it is, is "Fortune Strike". As far as I can tell, I haven't been able to find any consistent method of earning this one. It's not really worth much, but considering I can at least tell how I received the others, this one is just confounding me all the time. What are the requirements for receiving this bonus, exactly?

Can I find a shop in a Hostile sector?


texts: Making Samorost 3 moths vibrate: general rules

texts:
In Samorost 3, there are a number of moths and one of the requirements to make progress in the game is to make the moths vibrate. This can be done by trial and error, and it is possible to find a walkthrough that will just give you the solution for each moth individually, but I'm wondering: are there any general rules for vibrating Samorost 3 moths?

I'm theorising there must be some unifying methodology, be it mathematical, ideological, spatial, conceptual etc which unifies all of the moth puzzles and can be applied in order to solve any of them. Though understanding this rule might well be a task in itself...?

Update: So far there's one answer which is along the lines of what I'm looking for. Though any alternative approach people could suggest would be more than welcome :).

But is there a chance something could 'mess up' further down the line and I'll be back to square one?


texts:
Most of my jumps with snowboard and skis land harshly (the rider stumbles and the game's g-force meter spikes). Is there anything I can do to ensure a clean landing?

About jumps:

  prepare the jump with the Right Trigger and let it
  go exactly before the jump
  When in air you can perform all kinds of rotations -- in this case you need to use the Sticks’ axis on your controller (Up, Down, left,
  Right or Diagonal).
  if you want to grab your board in the air, you need to use the Left Trigger for your left hand and the Right Trigger for your
  right one
  while grabbing the board you can rotate the Right Stick and add even more style to your tricks.

texts: What do the letters for Job compatibility with different item types mean?

texts:
For example, knights have S compatibility with swords, A with spears, B with daggers, D with katanas, and E with knuckles. I understand from a flavor standpoint that this represents how skilled that class would be with each weapon, but what mechanical impact does this have? It doesn't prevent you from equipping weapons with low compatibility.

My knight does significantly more damage right now with the katana I have on hand than the sword, though, despite the big difference in compatibility. What is the advantage of using more compatible equipment? Why bother paying attention to this?


texts: Does fortify two-handed increase damage done with bows?

It's unclear to me whether "two-handed" means just two-handed melee weapons, or if it includes bows.

So, does "Two-handed attacks do 13% more damage" apply to bows, or just melee weapons?


texts: Is it a good idea to second seal Frederick?

texts:
I have recently started a new campaign of Fire Emblem: Awakening, and I've been trying to use units that I rarely use to try and have some variety. One of these units is Frederick.

As many of you know, the amount of experience he gets from killing/wounding enemies is much less than the average unit. I have got a second seal in my inventory (I've already second sealed Donnel, so I don't need to use it on him) and I just finished chapter 8.

Would it be a good idea to use the second seal Frederick back to a cavalier or should I keep him as a great knight?

Thanks in advance

texts: Hammer Editor: Make Out-of-sight Enemy Target Player

texts:
I'm making a map where you work with the combine against the rebels. Everything is working pretty smoothly, however I am unable to get the rebels to start a battle automatically.
I have the enemy rebels hiding behind the corner of a wall, which is out of sight of the player and unreachable without noclip (there is an invisible wall that stops only the player). I have got something which is meant to trigger the battle, however the rebels do not seek the player or the combine. In the past to start battles to test the AI nodes and such, I have had to noclip past the wall and shoot one of the rebels (or allow them to see me) which then lets the spawning and battle happen.

I'm wondering how I can set a trigger that tells the rebels to start spawning and trigger the battle, bringing them all out of hiding. One important thing to note is that the player is a standard soldier, so they cannot be prioritised as a target for the rebels to shoot.

I know a little about Standoffs, however I do not have full knowledge.

PS if it helps, this map is being tested in HL2, but will be used in GMod.


texts: So I started playing a real-time strategy game for android called gangster-paradise. This is just your everyday, do something, wait some time, do thing again, repeat, level up, do beter stuff. One of those things is GTA (grand theft auto). If you successfully steal a car you have the option to repair, sell or chop it. Now i haven't unlocked the chop-shop yet so i can only repair and sell it. Now to my surprise if you steal a car which has been damaged by (for example) 38% and you choose to repair it it would bring $500,-. Now the repair costs would have been around $140 and to sell the car without repairing would have gotten you $360, that's right, the amount you got whilst repairing the car. Hence my question. What is the use of repairing the vehicles in gangster paradise? Is this some hidden achievement or has this something to do with the chop-shop?

texts: Compact, failproof inexhaustible Elytra launcher?

texts:
My base is quite extensive, built at Savanna extreme hills, sprawling over a couple mountains from sea level to over 200 blocks, and I found moving between its segments is most efficient with Elytra. A mob farm provides enough gunpowder that I always carry a stack of fireworks for propulsion with me, and platforms and doors scattered over the cliff face provide quick access to the facilities. The only problem is "at the bottom - sea level installations."

Climb some 2 blocks drop, run, jump, press jump again, smack into grass. Repeat. At 3rd or 4th try I'm airborne and can finally boost towards the top.

It's a nuisance. On Youtube I saw a range of "elytra launchers" but none that would do what I'm looking for - they can be divided into two categories:

too big:

A contraption of a few hundred boats stuffed into one block space, lagging and glitchy, exploiting some trick to launch the player far up.
A TNT canon that requires the player to wear a full blast protection armor and using a dozen TNTs at a time.
A redstone monstrosity that does the boat trick but deploys and collects the boats as needed, to avoid the lag when not used, at cost of waiting a minute for deployment to complete when used.

too small:

a single spider web, where if you activate the firework at the right moment you'll be launched. If not, you lose the firework.
a single piston with a slime block, tossing you up a couple block. The author got airborne after third use.
A block and a piece of string suspended high over some point. Throw an Ender Pearl at it, and if you didn't miss, you take your damage from Ender Pearl use, lose your pearl, but you're some 60 blocks up and surely airborne.

I'm looking for something in the middle: not requiring consumables (other than a firework to get a serious boost), not based on weird glitches and requiring stacks upon stacks of redstone, and working every time. Something like that slime block on a piston but throwing me maybe 6 blocks higher, so that I can reliably activate the Elytra? What "player launcher" would fit the bill?

texts:
I've recently started playing Minecraft. Aside from all the building I've been doing, I think I've spent more time mining than necessary for rarer items. I realize I won't find diamonds on the surface, but I've spent hours underground to find one stone deposit of it.

Obviously, some of the better items are further down but is there a point to where you can get mass items from a certain block level? Say if I mine about 20 blocks down, can I expect to find more coal and iron? I've also learned that you can find villages in your map, do these areas have high item yield?

So for a beginner, what should I be doing to yield more items when mining? I only seem to get a ton of coal, cobblestone, and a little bit of iron each time.

Should I be mining near water?
Should I find a village and mine near it? (Do areas around villages yield more?)
How far down can I start to expect to find better items?
Does it matter if I mine during the day or night?
Should I use TNT near deposits or strictly stick to the pick axe?

Any questions I haven't listed here, and any other tips for a beginner Minecraft player is greatly appreciated! I'd also like to note that I'm playing on the Xbox One, if that matters.

Vlad, who has assured me that he is not a Vampire before running off, informed me that this worm's weak point is his head.
Well, that's all well and good, but I can't reliably hit his head.
What I'm doing so far:
I can stay alive pretty much indefinitely with a basic shield spell and my life regen staff, but as a war of attrition, this is going to take forever. It seems like using an Area-Effect Earth Magick will always force him to go above ground, and after that, if I'm lucky I can get off a lightning spell that might hit him for a few ticks. But this is whittling down at his health at a pretty pathetic rate, so I'm sure I'm missing something here.
Beam spells just go right through the body, and I can't angle them upwards, Sprays have insufficient range, and my attempts to channel a 'bomb' type spell generally get interrupted before I can power enough range into them.

I used to have no problems with my USB loader GX before (i can play any games that i have downloaded from the internet) but when i try playing my existing games that i have bought in discs before, my wii disc mounter would first take it in then spit it out halfway then take it in again and completely spits it out that my disc would fall. i think there's probably(?) a problem with the disc mounter after i installed usb loader GX and the D2x-CIos installer.

I tried downloading those same games that i used to have in discs from the internet, i did verify them and there's nothing wrong with it, but whenever i try to play it on my usb loader gx, it would take me back to the Homebrew menu.

Ex. I have the Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix disc game, since my wii won't accept the disc, I have to download that same game from the internet with verification there's nothing wrong with it. But the downloaded game returns me back to the Homebrew menu. I did delete the saved game from my wii's system but the situation didn't change.

Sounds complicated but I really hope there's an answer to what I asked for. Please do help me out. I already did searched Google for similar situations to mine and this now is my only hope

During character creation, I'm allowed to choose a god to worship, all of which grant different permanent game bonuses. One of the options is to worship no god, which yields a paltry 1% experience bonus, by far the weakest of the options. If this source for the experience/level progression is correct, that only amounts to 19,480 of 1,948,000 experience by level 40 (max level), which even by that point is only about 1/8th of a level. With such a small bonus, you'll barely level faster than followers of gods, and the cap effectively means that at max level, you no longer have a bonus relative to them, seemingly make this a poor choice.

Is there any other gameplay or story benefit beyond that character creation benefit for not worshipping a god, such as extra availability of quests or not having some opposing god's followers hate you, or anything like that?

I am trying to get a foot back into AoE 2 after not having played it for 15 years. I would like to get a gut feeling for how well different units do against one another and how powerful upgrades are and so on. Maybe even practice some beginner level micro. As such, I would like some quick and consistent way to generate units and buildings, select or deselect different upgrades for each of the two armies, and then pit them against one another.

What is the easiest framework for doing something like this? I am at the moment running AoE2 HD on Steam.

texts: How can I remove unwanted civilizations in civ5?

texts:
There are a lot of civilizations I don't consider 'real civs' in the game. I won't list them to avoid debate =). The thing is, I want to avoid them spawning in my games, yet I still want the civs list to be random.
How can I achieve that? Is there a mod for this? I think I saw one at one point, but cannot find it anymore.


texts: What are the main differences between P4 and P4 Golden?

texts:
Since there's the rerelease of P5 as P5 : The Royale in a few months, I would like to know what were the differences between the main game and it's rerelease in the previous opus: P4.

So what are the differences between P4 and P4 Golden? Is it the same game just with an additional character/dungeon or is it a very different story?


texts: As a cargo tech, what's the proper procedure to follow when someone requests supplies?

texts:
Too get to know the game I've been working as a simple cargo tech for the past few sessions. It took some getting used to but I've now figured out how to order new supplies and call for the supply shuttle.

On the station I'm playing the quartermaster doesn't seem to hang around much, so whenever people come to the cargo station with a request I just always approve it.

Is this actually the right procedure? Should I be asking for official approvals more often, and if so from who?

Looking through the thread about Crusader Kings on a CK Reddit, I ran into the following throwaway comment:

  The genocides, the murders, the marrying your grandmother and having kids........beautiful!

I know we discussed other weird marriages in this game here (" Is marrying my own sister a good idea? "), but can the game actually be practically played in a way that you can marry your grandmother and have kids? How?

texts: Does damage affect car performance in GTA Online races?

texts:
I'm wondering if car damage in GTA online races affects vehicle performance. I didn't think it did, but.....

I was in a Hotring race, competitive for half to two thirds of the race. I was up with the lead group of 5 or so cars (out of 18), slipstream and catch up were on so the lead changed hands several times and I took my turns. It was by no means a dirty race, just a little bit of rubbing (rubbing is racing).

Then all of a sudden my car slows down. Not to a complete standstill, I was still moving at a semi-decent speed, so the controller was still connected. Every other car in the race caught and passed me and I couldn't keep up with them or close the gap even with catch up on. I can't remember the name of the track but it had a couple of sections where gaps in the track must be jumped, and my car didn't have enough oomph to get over them, so something had definitely dropped off but I'm just not sure what. The car wasn't handling like I had a flat or anything (and I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone get a puncture in an online race).

Could something have happened to my car to totally scupper my race?

texts: Champions with physical changes from items?

texts:
Is there any other champions that changes their appearance from items/etc? Considering that such don't have/wear skins.

E.g Cho'g and Zac's size depends on their HP, that they grow large enough if they reach like 3k+ HP or something.

Another is Rengar who changes his appereance from gaining stacks on his Necklace (I don't know if this is true but I'm around 80% sure that he gains something new on his apperance from stacks).


texts: Is there any reason to repair items before they reach 0?

texts: In KoA it seems like the most cost-effective method for repairing items is to wait until their condition reaches 0 and then use repair kits. Are there any drawbacks to this? For example, is the item less effective as it gets more damaged? Is it possible for items to be damaged beyond repair?


texts: How do I setup a Crew HQ in Grand Theft Auto Online?

texts:
We've got a crew of friends playing Grand Theft Auto V Online. We'll probably max out at 10-20 players.

Ideally it'd be good do have a single apartment/ garage we could all base ourselves from.

That way we could share vehicles/ guns etc. and generally pool our resources.

How would we go about setting this up, and which is the best apartment/garage to use for this sort of approach?

texts: In Pokémon Go can the other IVs be in the same "range" as the "strongest" IV?

texts:
When appraising a Pokémon, the team leader tells you which IV is the strongest. Then they give you a hint, as to what the value of the strongest IV is.

For example, if you're on team Valor, the leader might say "Its HP is its strongest feature.", followed by "its stats indicate that in battle, it'll get the job done.".  Which means that stamina is the highest IV, and it has a value of somewhere between 8 and 12.

Given that, can you assume that the other IV values are not within that same range, or just that they are lower than HP?

If stamina was 11. Could attack be 10, or does it have to be 7 or less?


texts: Does the background of the vehicle mean that the vehicle is best at it?

texts: I've realised the background of the vehicles when you buy them are always a stage. Some, like Hill Climber, are Countryside but there are others, like The Rocket, which are different (in this case, moon). Does it indicate that this vehicle is the best at the background stage?

texts: Does a player's high level help attract evolved Pokémon when placing Lure Module?

texts:
Anecdotally, it seems that when a low-level player places a Lure Module, it attracts first-stage Pokémon, but some times, we get Lure Modules that attract second-stage Pokémon.

Question

Does a player's level dictate the evolutionary stage of Pokémon attracted by Lure Modules?


texts: Can I inbreed my family with another family?

texts:
I know that inbreeding within a family can cause the characters to have bad traits so that the descendants can get mad or something like this.

But is it also possible to inbreed with another family? That is: If I am, for example, Byzantium and I always marry my heir off to Hungarian princesses, will this lead to the effects inbreeding has when done within the family?

I have some trouble understanding how this buff works. So, what I found out, it does not work when using Paladin hero ability(summons a 1/1 Silver Hand Recruit). I am not sure about other summoned creatures (like Snaketrap, Ball of Spiders,etc..). So does this buff only applies to creature-cards played from hand?

Second thing I am not sure about is the order this buff applies. So if you have 2 hobgoblins on board, is the buff applied twice or only one time (because creature has already 3 attack after first hobgoblin buff is applied). Also if you have other buffing effects/creatures on table, does the hobgoblin buff always apply or is this more a random first buff wins approach?

  All 3 Answers are acceptable. I accepted Tims , because he answered first, but upvoted all.

It was answered elsewhere that items are independent of the playthrough they dropped on - a level 50 shotgun is still the same level 50 shotgun.

texts: Are houses / buildings built on top of existing tents?

texts:
Two part question:

I've recently picked out a spot for Blathers' tent. However, due to the nature of my island (not sure how common this is), I only have access to 1/3 of it, with the majority of the island being blocked off by a pair of rivers.

Suffice it to say, compromises had to be made, and Blathers is moving into a tent on the beach, rather than the (currently) inaccessible location I'd intended.

Does the museum get built on top of Blathers' tent? Or do you get
to pick a site for it, same as when placing tents?
Is there any way to move houses / buildings after the fact?

Is there any way to specify game mode (i.e. All Random) using the console?

I don't see anything about this on here (I know, not an official list), but I thought I'd still ask (and someone can answer here if and when the functionality is added).

dota_match_game_modes sounded promising, but it appears to be "to search for in matchmaking". Tried it nonetheless, didn't do anything.

I use the console to play so I can do so offline because I'm not always connected to the internet and DotA seems to be unable to start offline without -console.

Commands I use to start the game: (in case anyone wants to test anything)

  sv_cheats 1; sv_lan 1; dota_start_ai_game 1; dota_bot_set_difficulty 2; map dota_winter


texts: Do non-cloud Steam save files have a regular structure?

texts:
By "structure" I mean headers and footers that all (or a significant subset of) Steam games' local save files begin and end with. A .dat file extension or folder heirarchy is not enough, as I will be "carving" the data in binary form from a hard drive with a corrupted file index.

The platform these games were played on is Windows 8.1 Professional 64bit, with AMD processor and graphics.

Background info:
I am researching data recovery options for a client with a failed hard drive who wishes to recover save game files from that hard drive, which are not backed up to the Steam Cloud or other media.

I do not need help with the data recovery process itself (which would be off topic here anyway), but only with identifying what, if any, predictable structure delimits a "Steam game save".

Though the ideal answer will cover all Steam-purchased games which do not sync to the Steam Cloud or were last played offline, my client is specifically concerned about saves from:

Don't Starve
Castle Crashers
Battleblock Theater
Super Meat Boy
Bioshock 1
Five Nights at Freddy's 1

I have explained that even with a well-known file format, forensic data recovery is likely to produce corrupt files due to damaged media, and therefore recovered saves may not be playable. However, if there is some (DRM) reason the saves cannot be loaded under the same Steam account, on the same legally purchased games, on a new laptop, I will consider it an answer as well.

texts: Metal Gear Solid 4 -- Snake/Raiden scene in the Nomad prior to Shadow Moses

texts:
1.) In this scene from MGS4 (the Mission Briefing just before the Shadow Moses act) around the 3:05 mark Raiden says:

  I won't live a proxy life, a slave to someone else's will.

Snake then replies:

  I'm a shadow, one that no light will shine on. As long as you follow me, you'll never see the day.

Is it just me or is there a huge disconnect between these two lines? Is this just bad writing? Or if not why did Snake reply the way he did? What could he possibly mean?

2.) Furthermore at the 3:50 mark Raiden says something interesting:

  But once this is over, we will have our freedom. I'll release you, it's the only way I'll ever be free.

Snake then replies:

  Raiden, five years ago, that's not what I meant...

What did Snake say five years ago in the Big Shell incident? If I remember correctly he said something about finding something to believe in, but this couldn't be what he was referring to? What was Snake referring to when he said the above? And why would "releasing" Snake free Raiden?

Edit: why did someone remove the MGS series tag? This question is primarily about MGS4 but it also references the older MGS games, and in particular, asks about events in MGS2. Please read the entire question before editing needlessly next time, thanks.


texts: Windows won't detect my Gamepad / Joystick

texts:
I bought a product that's called "BM-707 / BM-727 Bluetooth Android Controller (FW: V
11)

It's said on the manual: "Can be used for PC windows system, TV, box, tablet and Android phones, tablets and IOS phones.."

It also says it supports three types of connections: Blutooth, Wireless (with a receiver), and Wired.

It does not come with any driver or instruction for driver installation. I was unable to find one. Please tell me if one exists that you know of

I connect it with the supplied wire - windows won't even detect it as a device. (couldn't find on on Device Manager)

I followed the instruction for connection it via Bluetooth (which works only if the cable is disconnected, apparently) - I managed to convince my PC that the device is connected, and I can even see it in the Device Manager, but the device itself doesn't seem to know it's connecting and clicking buttons on it does nothing. According to the manual, the flashing light (indicating "ready to connect") should stop flashing and indicate "connected" instead.

I'm out of ideas on what to try

Why is this? I always believed that Raptr optimization was based on the settings detected from the community with the same/similar hardware setup. What difference does it make if I start the game or not first?

I just started playing TOMB RAIDER (2013) for twenty minutes or so. I made it out of the cave and am running around in a beautiful forest. I have found the bow.

Lara claims to be hungry and the game suggests to kill a deer. I ran around a bit and found a bush of berries which disappeared after pressing E, so I presume Lara ate the berries. But there still is no way out of the forest and the task to feed Lara is still unsolved.

Is there a way to continue playing the game, without murdering a deer?

My PS3 Skyrim is starting to have the dreaded lag problem. I've tested Skyrim on my PC and it works perfectly on medium settings with 60FPS@720p (and better graphics than the PS3). It is also beautiful on my 55'' plasma and the PS3 controller works once I downloaded "MotionInJoy", so I would like to continue my adventure on PC.

It is possible to migrate my PS3 save game to PC? I've invested a lot of hours on this character and I'm not really in the mood to replay lots of quests.


texts: How to quickly find points of interest (waypoints, entries, quests zones) in the randomly generated areas?

texts:
If you have a look at the main map of any act (U by default), you can notice that areas are oriented.  For instance, in the first act's main map, Tidal Island is south of Terraces.  And indeed, I've always found Terraces at the far south of the Tidal Island area.

Same goes for some other areas, like in Act 2: the Tree Roots recovering the Vaal Ruins' entry is always somewhere at the north of the River Crossings area.

Is there some kind of constraint on the orientation of the points of interest during the generation of an area ?  Is it possible to use it to buy some time while looking for something specific in an area (a waypoint, for example) ?

I've set Minecraft up with my account on a Windows guest user for my little siblings to play singleplayer. For security reasons, as well as concerns for the children themselves, I'd like to disable multiplayer on that account by forcing the "Play Offline" mode.
New versions will be added by me, manually, along with OptiFine and whatever other mods were necessary.

I'm thinking that the best way to do this would be related to destroying or invalidating the login token for that user, but how can I do this without making it re-request the password?

texts: Is the first (post-tutorial) enemy in Infinity blade 2 supposed to have 4000 hit points?

texts:
I'm a level 1... human, I assume?   I have a lovely little sword that does 6 points of damage (1+5), and have 450 hit points.

The first enemy I face is a "Level 1 Shade".  He has a dark, ominous-looking sword that does 20 points of damage.  (Ok, that's cool, I have free will and a lot of patience.)  But he has 4000 hit points.

Let me once again point out that my sword does 6 points damage.  While it's possibly a nod to a shade's demonic nature that I must stike him 666 times to kill him, I can't help but wonder if something is amiss.

To put it in perspective, if you assume you get about 4 strikes in each time you have a "break", you need to break 166 rounds of attacks to beat him.    (Yeah, yeah, less scratches and stabs, but C'MON.)

Did I somehow inadvertantly activate the "Wish you'd never bought an ipad" difficulty setting?

UPDATE:  It was basically a glitch.  Perhaps I quit the app at a bad time, but what happened was that I'd been converted to the weak, post-tutorial character with 400 HP and no infinity blade, but I was still facing the tutorial characters who have 4000 HP like you do in the intro.

SOLUTION:  You have to create an all new character in the options menu under "character slots".  Resetting thy our existing character won't fix it.


texts: How can I quickly rank up in Battlefield 3?

texts:
What is the best method for ranking up in Battlefield 3?

I have been told 2 different methods so far:

Play as recon on team deathmatch, then use gadgets to spot team mates
Play as assault on Metro (Conquest), and concentrate on healing/reviving team mates

As a recon, I am struggling to get a decent score per game (in the range of a couple of thousand at best).

As an assault I can get around 7-10k per game.

Is there anything I can do to improve my score in the methods above?

Are there other effective methods (game modes/maps/class combinations)?

texts:
Playing Crusader Kings 2 with the Charlemagne expansion, I started a game as a count in southern Greece (Byzantine Empire). I rebelled against my liege, and then against the emperor (note: the magic cheat fairy may have left me a large pile of cash to help me get an accelerated start and hire some mercenaries to achieve this feat with relatively little trouble). Then I slipped over to the north coast of Africa to grab some quick territory.

The only problem, and I assume this is a symptom of the early start date, every where is so under  developed that I have almost no boats. Initially I could raise 3 boats in my home province, plus another 6 from a mercenary band. After moving my capital to north Africa, I had just my 3 boats (guess I lost touch with the mercenary band with the boats) and after a couple of decades, my research to get level 1 shipbuilding has crawled along and I can now raise maybe 9 ships plus a handful more from levies. This has left me in a rather annoying position of shipping maybe 1400 troops at a time or marching all the way around the Mediterranean to try and chip away at BE (my eventual goal being a glorious return as conquer after building a mini empire in north Africa).

Is there any way to get a larger fleet available to spare me so many long marches?

Anyone tried using it yet?

I sent the referral link to my boss and he bought the game and applied his CD key.

He now has a paid account linked to mine:

Yet when I view my World of Warcraft account, it seems they didn't give me the free month. It appears I only have the free month that came with my Battlechest purchase.

I just created and bought my account this morning. Would this affect the free referral month in any way?

We haven't seen each other or partied online in the game yet, do we need to do that first in order for me to receive the month?

It is named "Miner". Other than that I'm not sure if its a IC2, BC3 or some other miner.

My Miner has hit bedrock, and will not retract. Why? I have removed the remaining pipes from the Miner unit and replaced the pipes with cobblestone.


texts: Does an embargo on a Civilisation stop trade routes with their team mates?

texts:
The description suggests that it would:

  No Trade Routes can be established between the chosen Civilization and any other Civilization. Any such Trade Routes are ended and must be reassigned.

However, trade routes between team mates behave like internal trade routes in all other cases.

Would they be exempt from the embargo or not?


texts:
In the middle of a long war of conquest in Total War: Three Kingdoms, I suddenly find myself unable to attack any enemy settlements or armies. I can walk right up to their armies and right-click on them, and the game makes some acknowledgement sound (dialogue from the leading general) but does nothing. When I'm in enemy territory, my armies have a little icon next to them marked "Trespassing."

The usual cause of confusion about this in Total War is entering March stance (which boosts movement but prevents attacking), but I'm well aware of the associated UI elements (stance indicator and a "can't attack" warning on the mouseover popup), and that's not the cause of the problem here.

What's happening and how do I fix this?

(I am playing the OS X version.)


texts: What are some unique game identifiers that I may have in in my PS3?

texts:
My house was broken into 2 weeks ago and 27 of my PS3 games were stolen, my PS3 fat was left untouched however.

I've noticed a kijiji ad that has come up and there is a match with 26 of my games. Not only that but the seller noted which ones were new and used and that matches up with my games as well. (Because sometimes you buy a game and just can't find time to play it)

Suffice to say I think these have a high probability of being my games.

I am thinking that perhaps the thief hasn't bothered to check all the games and I know that when I enter an unlock code for a game I put the paper back in the case.

So for dragon age I had an unlock code for the golem and for Dead Space 2 I had the online unlock code. Is there any way of checking what my codes were that I entered in for my PS3 account?


texts: How far do nether fortresses extend vertically?

texts: I'd like to build a spawning platform above the bedrock layer of the nether. If I build it over a nether fortress, will it continue to spawn wither skeletons?


texts: How to share DLCs between different accounts

texts:
I have a PS4 since a few months, I do not know much of how the account system works. I am Italian but I live in Germanny, and I bought the PS4 here in Germany. So I made two accounts: an Italian one, to understand what I am reading, and that I use to play; and a German one, to enable PSN codes purchasing.

Now, I bought a PS Store card (20euro), and since the card is German, I thought it was correct to purchase the code from the German account. So I used the code to buy a DLC, and it worked well. The German account sees that the game has obtained the DLC. But this is not true on the Italian account (unless I am missing something).

Is there a way to get my already bought DLC on the Italian account?
Sorry in advance for my superficial explanation but, as I said, I do not know much about how the accounts work.

EDIT: looking on the internet, it seems that if the account from which you buy the contents has set as the "Primary PS4", the contents should be shared among users. However, if I go to the other accounts, it still asks me if I want to buy the DLC. And I do not know how to be sure that the DLC is shared between the two accounts.
