texts: What is the most efficient wood based fuel?

texts:
Which form of wood is actually the most efficient in furnaces? I would appreciate if there is a descending list of efficiency.

This includes any thing that can be made from wood, including charcoal though if it requires another unit of fuel to make it, do subtract from its efficiency.

I am aware of the similar question that is the fuel ranking. However, this question is specifically asking for a least-input greatest-output analysis for wood-only materials, to minimize the resource cost of getting efficient furnace fuel.

Its also to resolve a common argument of sticks vs planks and sticks vs crafted alternative.

So as mentioned by Schism, this is a input vs output question.


texts: Interstellar KSP - Not getting science from IR Satellite

texts:
I have put the IR Satellite into orbit on my unmanned ship. But for some reason I'm not getting science.

I have Helium Cryostats (3 with the dish connected directly on to them).
I have power being supplied (although the item doesn't directly say that it needs it).
I have activated the Deep scanner.

What am I doing wrong?

Theory:

Is it possible that the IR Telescope will only work while the player is 'in' the ship?


texts: Is there any benefit to accepting high risk prisoners?

texts: How do I move my Tiny Death Star from my old iPad to my new iPad?

texts:
I bought a new iPad today and restored from my old iPad's iCloud backup, but when I opened up Tiny Death Star on the new iPad it didn't have any of my old data. It was like a proton torpedo had just been shot into my Death Star's exhaust port. :(

I haven't erased my old iPad yet, so I still have the data there. Can I get my Death Star back or have the Rebels won?

texts:
So I was trying to steal a muscle car during one of the side-missions available through Saintsbook, but while driving the car back to the chop shop something rather peculiar happened. Each and every car on the road veered into my path just as I was about to pass it, making it amazingly difficult for me to reach my destination.

I've never seen this happen before, and I was wondering what is it that causes this behavior. I'd certainly like to avoid triggering this in the future.

Possible Duplicate:
  How to identify items without getting killed

If I understand correctly, the potions in Nethack are given random colors at the beginning of each game, but the same color is always the same potion.

I've seen an x-colored potion several times by the time I've reached level 9 and it's also the most common potion in my inventory.

Is there a potion that is much more common than other potions? Is there a list that details the probabilities of finding certain potions?


texts: How to play a region locked xbox 360 game and use my region's account on it?

texts:
So I realized that their have been a lot of xbox 360 games made in Europe & Japan that haven't made it to the US.

I found out though that setting up a PAL or NTSC-J xbox 360 to play these games in the US isn't too difficult though.

My question is once the hardware is set up, can an xbox account in the US region still be downloaded or transferred to the foreign xbox?

I know that xbox accounts can't change region, I was just hoping I could get my US account on the foreign xbox to get achievements for the foreign game I wanted to play.

texts: Which jobs are dependent on seasons and how?

texts:
Seasons, especially winter, affect nature a lot and there are jobs, such as the farmer, whose jobs change or even become useless during certain seasons. This is basically as much as I could find in the wiki.

I would like to know which jobs seasons have an effect on, which seasons are the most effective for those professions and if there's a better alternative for those jobs during the weak seasons (swapping farmers to gatherers for the winter, for example)?


texts: How can I skip to a certain point in the game?

texts:
When Arkham City was released, there was a bug that when you exit the game your savegame files disappear.

I heard about the problem and I played the game without exiting.  At that point the fix was unknown, but now it is solved.  I already played most of the game but at one point the game just had to crash.

I fixed the problem now but I don't want to play all over again. I'm looking for a way to skip directly to that point in the game (somewhere around battling Mr. Freeze).

Up to now I've found savegames for PS3 (I have the PC version), and tried cheats from Arkham Asylum(modified), but neither helped.


texts: What moves cannot be Sketched by Smeargle?

texts:
I caught a Smeargle today following a photo bomb with my Lock-On / Focus Blast Registeel. The Smeargle I caught, to my surprise, knew Astonish / Focus Blast, not Lock-On.
Why did Smeargle not Sketch Lock-On, and can this happen to any other moves - in other words, why does Smeargle not Sketch a move? My assumption at the moment is that it cannot learn moves introduced to Pokemon Go after Sketch such as Lock-On, and Transform. However, I couldn't find any information online to support or deny this, and I am somewhat surprised that Niantic didn't make moves introduced after Sketch like Lock-On learnable. It could be a bug.

texts:
I have two questions here, but both deal with the new "challenge mode" in Warcraft.

1) How does one go about running an instance in challenge mode? In other words, is there something specific that you have to do before starting the instance in order to put it into challenge mode, or is it something that can be done inside of the dungeon once it's already started?

2) I noticed that there is a daily quest at the bottom of the Shrine of Two Moons (this is the Horde city, but I'm sure there's one at the Alliance also) and it appears to be a random daily for doing an instance in challenge mode. Am I correct on this?


texts: Are grenades thrown further when jumping?

texts:
Once a friend told me that in Call of Duty... If you jump/or right after the jump when you're in the air moving upwards and then throw a grenade (for example a Semtex) - that the distance will be much further than throwing just from the stand/run (normal)

Since then I do that always and I also see people online doing that.. but is that true?


texts: What is the magnitude of the Hunting Horn's buffs?

texts:
In Monster Hunter World, various attack and affinity boosts from different sources have undergone balancing so attack is not always preferable to affinity. With that said, it's unlikely that the Hunting Horn's melodies have gone untouched, but I can't find any numbers on the matter.

How large are the various buffs that a Hunting Horn's melodies can provide? Specifically, I'm asking about Attack Up (S/L/XL), Defense Up (S/L/XL), Affinity Up (S/L), Elemental Attack Boost (S/L), and Abnormal Status Attack Increased (S/L).

texts: I know that the higher the level you pick, the more difficult the doom bots become, but what exactly are the differences between levels? Level 100 had rockets of some kind shooting from the nexus, and level 10 did not, and the bots seemed to have more hp and damage. So, what exact buffs do the doom bots get as their level increases?

texts: What is the spotting cooldown in Battlefield 4?

texts:
Battlefield 4 brings back spotting; press RB or Q with an enemy in your sights and he's spotted for your whole team to see. Spotting wins games! It also comes very cheap, it doesn't really slow you down or cost you anything. So I tend to spam spot a lot.

Does spotting have a cooldown and if so, what is it? Is there anything from preventing me from spotting 60 times a second? If there's a cooldown is it different after a successful spot vs a failed spot? Is there any way to measure the cooldown precisely? I've tried testing it various ways and can't really figure it out; it kind of feels to me like maybe there's a 1s cooldown only after a successful spot.

Battlefield 3 is generally assumed to have a spotting cooldown although I've never seen a source for exactly how long it was. The StackExchange discussion and this other one both mention BF3 made a noise if you try to spot during the cooldown. I don't think that noise is in BF4.

texts:
So, my computer's been having problems running Warframe.  I run Warframe at the max possible low settings, and intermittently between games my computer would tell me I was running low on memory.

Some basic specs, I have an i5 that runs at 1.8Ghz, and 6gb of RAM, 2gb of dedicated VRam on a Nvidia 720M.  Now, I thought that the problem must have been not having enough memory, so I bought a new memory module, so that I now have 12gb of RAM, 2gb of dedicated VRam.

I'm still getting the same problem. My computer is running hot all the time, even with additional RAM, RAM that I thought would help alleviate the problem of running the game.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but how would I get "more memory" for the game itself? I've noticed in Task Manager that even when running Warframe, it only takes up 4-5gb of memory, still leaving me with plenty of leftover memory, yet my computer insists it is running low on memory. I have tried setting priority, and that does nothing as well.

texts: Explaining the solution for this treetop area puzzle

texts:
After failing numerous times on this puzzle, this is the solution I found when looking up solutions for this puzzle.

I don't get the answer at all. I can't see how it makes sense. These are my attempts at solving it previously:

This is my understanding of this puzzle so far, so I may be wrong since I'm obviously not getting the solution:

Rectangular blocks of different colors must not share the same area with rectangular blocks of a different color -- in this case, the white square blocks cannot share space with the black square blocks.
The spiky blocks are immune to the color rule, but they must pair up with another spiky block. As seen in the first image, the puzzle below has two spiky black balls sharing space with the white squares, and that is a valid solution.

So this is my question: how does this solution work? Why don't my solutions fit the criteria? The way I see it, my solutions have separated the white blocks from the black blocks, and I've isolated the black spike on its own since it has no partner

How viable is it to play through Dragon Quest IX entirely in multiplayer? I'm hoping to be able to play through the whole thing together with my wife, so I'm just wondering if there are any downsides or impossibilities to doing this.

A couple of main questions, I suppose:

Neither of us have played it at all, are we able to start immediately in multiplayer, or do we have to play the game individually for a while before it's possible to connect?
Is there any drawback to playing through completely in multiplayer? Will we be unable to do certain parts, or complete the game, or anything?

texts:
I got Diablo 3 recently and have played up to Act III. I was just invited to a game by my friend who is in Act IV. We beat a level in Act IV and now it seems it is unlocked for me to play and to progress further in.

I can see the drawbacks of skipping quests, since I will be underleveled. However, I have very good gear (Rare/Legendary) that I got for good deals on the AH and I am able to defeat them.

So, if I were to play through Act IV while skipping Act III, would the game move me on to the next difficulty? Or would I have to complete those quests I skipped in Act III?

Thanks for reading.

The power of this move seems to be proportional to the number that is generated. How does this work?

I've just played through Stanley Parable for a few hours and have got all of the different endings (including all variations of the easter eggs), besides the "disco" one.

After quitting the game, I noticed that I got the "Unachievable" achievement. Looking at the time, I think that I got it around the time I got the "broken narrative" ending, but I'm not entirely sure.

I've looked up how to get the achievement and most guides involve adding key bindings and doing it through there - I definitely haven't done that. The only things I've done in the console are sv_cheats 1 and bark.

I am not looking for how to get the achievement, my question is that I have got the achievement and don't know how I did!


texts: How to throw a Pokeball far in Pokemon Go?

Recently, I caught a Pidgeot after roughtly 50 pokeballs. However, most of the pokeballs were simply not closing the vertical gap between the bottom of the screen and the pokemon, which is higher for certain pokemon.

I'm looking for some tips on how to throw farther, or otherwise how to proceed in this situation where I can't throw far enough to hit the pokemon. (So I'm not asking about how to throw accurately or how to improve my catch rate.)

I'd prefer answers that work when AR mode is turned off, both because some phones can't use it and because throwing accurately is easier without it.

There are some mobs that have the property "Illusionist", which gives them the annoying ability to duplicate themselves multiple times.

The copies seem to have the same amount of health as the original and deal the same damage.

I found this kind of mobs especially hard to beat and have some questions regarding them:

Are the copies perfect copies or really just illusions to distract you, as the name says? The fact that they can hit you seems to hint at the fact that they are more than that.
If you kill the original mob, will the copies die?
If yes, is there any way to distinguish the original from the copies?
Are the illusions/copies permanent or temporary?
Do you get additional XP for each copy?
What is the best strategy against "Illusionist" mobs?

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this matter.

The sound of blowing wind can be faintly heard coming from behind this wall.

texts: In Orcs Must Die, do guardians count as traps?

Are there any consequences of this action? What would have happened if the Councilor was let to live?


texts: How to close computer terminal with a hot key?

texts:
The only possible way to close computer terminals is to click the mouse on the red square button. How can I close it with a keyboard command? It does not need to be a mod, it can be any other way.

I am on PC (but I think other platforms info may help other people too, but I can only check on PC), and so, any mods are welcome too.

Just as information, there is a console command CloseAllMenus (short: cam) that is capable of closing the terminal; though I am not sure how it can help concerning a hot key bind.

texts: How does Darkest Dungeon decide if I'm toying with an enemy?

texts:
In Darkest Dungeon, I like to arrange battles so that there's only one weak enemy left so I can tank its hits and focus on healing. For example, leaving a weak skeleton around so that I can re-cast stress healing skills on my party that heals more than the skeleton hurts.

The problem is, the game recognizes this eventually by having a random character shout "We should move on!" or something equivalent, which starts stressing my party out faster than I can heal it.

I know that the game doesn't just punish me for long fights. I've had skin-of-my-teeth encounters that have lasted 20+ turns where I wasn't in control of the situation and nobody complained about taking too long. So there's something the game is using to determine if I'm playing with the enemy.

I want to know what that is so that I can figure out the minimum amount of effort needed to artificially prolong fights.

I am wondering about the criteria that can make a working basalt generator. I know that this configuration works:

        B
L l l l

However, I am wondering if this configuration works, because I am hoping to put a hopper underneath to collect mined basalt:
        B
L l l l   S
        X

If it doesn't work, is there another way to collect dropped basalt, other than manually picking it up?

texts: Transferring fuel between tanks on KSP for Mac

texts:
I'm trying to transfer LiquidFuel and Oxidizer between a pair of tanks in KSP on my mac. I've previously done this on Windows and Linux machines by Alt+right clicking on each of the two tanks, and then using the 'In' and 'Out" buttons to control the fuel transfer.

However, when I try this (by using the 'alt/option' key on my macbook's keyboard), I just see two small info boxes pop up, each showing the amount of Oxidizer and LiquidFuel, but without any options for transferring in and out.

If it's relevant, I've selected 'Hard' mode for my career.

Has the latest update removed the ability to transfer fuel? Or is this a keybinding issue?


texts: Hatched a Grimer - caused a crash with a lot of following crashes

texts:
Hatched a Grimer which caused the game to crash during the hatch-animation. Clicking on Grimer afterwards, results in a freeze at the stats-screen of Grimer. It also results in freezes for every pokemon I caught after Grimer.

Crashed happened initially on the non-updated version. Tried a re-install (and now am updated to the latest version, i.e. 0.31.0) and still not working.

The phone I was playing on is a Sony Xperia Compact Z1.

Any ideas how to get rid of that bug ?

Bug summary: clicking on Grimer (either in the Pokédex or in the list with all your Pokémons) results in a freeze, so does clicking on the Pokémon left or right (before and behind), likely because the app is already trying to load the image of Grimer.

Update 1: I can click on any pokemon except on Grimer now without a crash but none of the images of any pokemon is loading. The images are only there when the pokemon stats are automatically showing up directly after you caught them. (see Update 3 for an explanation).

Update 2: Android Version 4.4.4

Update 3: After a few crashes and restarts, the pokemon images are back.

Update 4: After a little bit of research, I found that for a few users, cleaning the data and the cache might help (did not work for me and for most of the other users.). Also, I submitted an official bug report, just to let them know (they might read it, maybe...).

Update 5: Bug is still there in current version (0.33.0)

Update 6: Version 0.35.0, bug is still there

Update 7 (as requested from @Vemonus): in my opinion, it is not a duplicate of this question since that question was specifically addressing the arenas (when somebody else put a Grimer there) whereas here we are talking about the situation when you own a Grimer (although the origin of the bug is, of course, the same: Grimer's heavy animation).


texts:
With the Chargin' Targe or the Splendid Screen the Demoman can charge causing a variety of effects, but mostly propelling the Demoman forward.

Recently while playing Hightower I charged a Pyro while being air juggled with successive back blasts.  Usually the charge is a good way to escape an air juggle, but I seemed to get caught by another back blast before I could escape the juggle.

So that makes me wonder, can the Demoman's charge be back blasted by a Pyro?

Also, does it matter whether the Demoman is already airborne?

Can the entire charge be back blasted, from start to finish?

texts: Shouting gets disabled the moment I need it most?

texts:
When fighting a dragon that has just landed beside me, or in the middle of heated combat, the shouts suddenly stop working. Nothing happens when I press Z.

I can see that the "Shout Cooldown" has finished. I also noticed that I cannot even switch shouts with the "Q" menu. I tried assigning numeric shortcuts to shouts, and then pressed them, but the said shouts do not get activated, nor does anything happen when I press Z.

When I click on or press E on any of the other shouts (in the hope that re-equipping the shout might make it work), in the Q menu, nothing happens.

Also, after blindly pressing the Z button many times in a row, the shout finally comes out sometimes, but because I have not pressed it for a full duration in my impatience, only the first word is shouted, further delaying me from unleashing my character's power.

The shouts start working again when the moment passes. Once the dragon is far away, or the Deathlord is dead, the shouts come back to me again.

Is this by design of the game developers?

texts: Command and Conquer: Generals not launching on Windows 7 64-bit

texts:
I've tried a large number of solutions to the problems that 64 bit Windows 7 has with Generals and Zero Hour, to no avail. I've been trawling all over the internet for a fix for my problem.

To wit, I've properly created the options.ini file with proper file type as well as altering the resolution to match my desktop resolution. I have changed the properties on the game launcher to grant it admin privileges and run it with XP 3 compatibility enabled. I have changed both the base install folder and the data folder in documents to disable read-only access.

Notably, I have not been running into the same errors as everyone else I have been reading as running into. My problem is that before granting permission to run in XP 3, the game explicitly tells me it could not launch and to try running it in an older compatibility. After enabling this, attempting to launch the game simply does not work, no error report or anything. Generals.exe simply vanishes within a few seconds.

There are a lot of other fixes I have tried but cannot remember for their comparative obscurity. I updated directx to be sure, and my graphics drivers are up to date though after an issue installing an update a month ago my driver kernel occasionally freezes up while I am watching videos in my browser.

I'm clueless as to how to get Generals working. I would really love to have it running so I could play some of the excellent mods for it.

texts:
I'm looking for new Wiimotes, for the legacy Wii. My goal is to buy the 3rd and 4th Wiimotes for my console. These devices will be primarily used to play some games with children, like Mario, not high-paced games.

I can see a lot of "compatible" devices that are neither official nor built by Nintendo.

What is the quality of these alternative devices compared to the official ones?

Do these devices operate like an official one? Should I expect the same reactivity, precision, etc.?

I assume the global finish of the product may give a cheaper feeling, but I can live with that.

I'm trying to solve a problem for a friend who has Vipre Antivirus-- it is contantly deleting minecraft.exe and all of his worlds in the course of normal operation.

Vipre has messed with Minecraft in the past, but as of today it just flat-out deletes minecraft, saying it is a trojan. This also happens every time he downloads it, and he can't find the way to disable Vipre from not deleting it (even though he has told the software it is not a virus and he has run it many times in the past).

texts: Is there a OR operator in executing commands? (Java 1.14)

texts:
I have been running into roadblocks at the moment with the use of executing if and unless statements, not only that but also in using tags.

for example here I have a command block running through a few tags and I need it to cover 2 tags "crafting_block2" and "crafting_block1"
except it treats it more like a & operator if I use it like below.

/execute as @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,tag=crafting_block] align xyz positioned ~0.5 ~0 ~0.5 unless entity @e[type=minecraft:villager,tag=crafting_block2,tag=crafting_block1] at @s run kill @s

So it would only execute if the armor stand has both of the tags, but I want it to execute when it has either of the tags.

I know I could apply another tag from the start to cover it all but is there a way to do this without the additional tag (and without the use of scoreboards). if there is a OR operator or something like that, that would be nice.

As well on top of that, I also want to know about a similar thing

execute as @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,tag=Landmine] at @s align xyz positioned ~0.5 ~ ~0.5 if block ~ ~ ~ air run tp @s ~ ~-1 ~

for example here, I couldn't quite get it to work on both cave air and normal air. Like as I said above if I tried to put another if statement in it treats it as if there if an AND operator and would only work if both are true (which is impossible in this case). In the end, I had to duplicate the entire command to compensate for this which is ridiculous.

texts:
I'm fine with updates in general, getting rid of bugs is fine after all, but when I just want to quickly play a short game in my break while the OUYA determines there is an update and applies it without any chance of intervention, this is rather annoying. The same applies to the game itself - once an update is available, I cannot start it until the update was applied. So

  How to change the update behaviour such that I only get a notification about updates being available, while manually choosing when to apply them?

Hint: I know I could detach the OUYA from the internet, but a) using WLAN this means I have to either switch the OUYA WLAN off/on manually or kill my WLAN router and b) an available update shouldn't prevent me from using apps that do require internet access, e.g. the web browser

texts: How does the new training time in supercell works with dark barak or unupgraded barracks that cannot produce a unit?

texts:
Should I upgrade my barracks to the same level?

Say I have 3 barracks upgraded to healer. Say 1 barrack is upgraded to dragon.

Say, for simplicity sake, a healer, a golem, and a dragon cost 1 hour to make. I know that's far from true. It's for simplicity sake.

Normally if I want 3 healer and 1 dragon, I would need 1 hour.

Under new system, how long will it take for to get 1 dragon and 3 healers?

I supposes the dragon will take 1 hour because only 1 barrack can create that one dragon and somehow that one barrack will held up all other barracks while creating that one dragon.

Then, the 3 healers will take 45 minutes each.

So, under current system, it's slower, if you have different level barracks.

Say in addition you have a dark barrack. Say a golem cost 1 hour.

Under old system, you can get 3 healers, 1 dragon, and 1 golem in 1 hour.

Now you will need 2.45 hours (1 for dragon, 1 for golem, and 45 minutes for the healers).

Am I even correct?

So basically, if only one barrack can produce a unit, will that unit takes very long to build while preventing all other barracks from producing anything?

He only uses LP to play Hits on Hard. He never misses a note (bad or better harvests the event token). He never runs out of HP/Stamina during a song.
The player never attempts the event song on Hard, Easy or EX.
He starts the event with ZERO LP (or just grinds his LP to zero by quitting songs).
He has infinite rank, so he never levels up from song EXP.

So given these rules, we have:
Wiki Link to the Unofficial Game Wiki

LP regenerated per day: 240 LP
Total Event Duration: 10 days (2,400 LP).
Tokens awarded per Hard Hits: 16 tokens.
(equals 16 event points) - Song Cost: 15LP -
Total Hits Songs played during the event: 160 songs, 2,560 tokens / event points.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Cost of an Event Song (medium): 30 tokens.
Event points awarded by a Medium Event Song: 138 event points
(assuming he gets average of "A" combo and always "S" score.
Total Event Songs Played: 85 (10 leftover tokens unused).
Total event points from event songs: 11730 points.
----------------------------------------------------------
Total event points earned: 14,290

Now, the real question is: is this correct? If it is wrong, what is the maximum event points he can earn?

  PS: I know he won't start with empty LP, and that he will gain full LP when leveling up, but lets keep that aside, because factoring leveling in will be messy.

Bonus credits: How much song EXP will he earn during the event?

texts:
The first two wings of Molten Core were really easy, but the third one, Ragnaros the Firelord/Majordomo Executus is giving me a bit of trouble.

The following is a typical result after bringing down the health of the Majordomo:

The two Molten Giants a regular player can use are bad enough, but four are just far too much. I can't really fit that much removal into my decks, never mind drawing it early enough.

I also need to do 46 damage in total, 30 for the Majordomo and 16 for Ragnaros. Doing that much damage with a few molten giants on the other side seems very hard if not impossible.

What is the trick to this one? How can I defeat the Majordomo and Ragnaros?


texts: BFBC2 "Unable to login" when entering serial number

texts:
So I installed this "Origin" crap, bought, downloaded and installed Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Now, when I launch the game and login with the same account I use to buy it in Origin, I'm asked to enter my serial number, which I do, but after hitting the submit button I get the "Unable to login" error, every, single, time.

I can't seem to find out where to enter it on the Origin or EA site, so how am I supposed to register my game?

Edit: Okay, so I found the "Redeem product code" in the Origin app, but now when I try to login to BFBC2 with the same account it still asks for the serial, but then says it's already in use, what the hell is going on here?

texts: How to kill the Mega Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap?

texts:
So it appears that doing the Claptrap DLC in playthrough 2 wasn't such a smart idea after all. While it's boosted me from level 44 to level 47 fairly painlessly, pretty much everything has a couple hundred times more health than it should've... and kamikaze claptraps oneshot you and are useless for second winds.

Excessive amounts of health notwithstanding I've made my way to the MINAC... where I died thrice in quick succession. Everything — from the ten turrets to MINAC itself — seems to have pretty much infinite health. It probably doesn't help that my best weapons are fire and not corrosive.

At any rate that puts me kind of in an ugly spot. How do I tackle this monstrosity, grinding of gears and wobbly heads and pink panties notwithstanding?

texts: If I make it with Thane in the hospital, will that hurt my chances of getting back with Liara?

texts:
In Mass Effect 1, I got dirty with Liara.  In Mass Effect 2, for lack of any better options, I bumped uglies with Thane.  (Really, the choices for Femshep weren't that great in ME2.)  Now, Mass Effect 3 is here and although I told Liara that things are over between Thane and myself, I've run into Thane in the hospital, and may have "accidentally" clicked the paragon option to kiss Thane and then again "accidentally" clicked the dialog choice telling him to "take me to bed or lose me forever."  Don't judge!  It's the end of the world as we know it -- that should be free license to sleep around!

Anyway, will my little fling with Thane prevent me from getting jiggy with Liara again?

(In truth, I'd rather tango with Traynor, but I don't know if that would count towards the paramour achievement.)

I want to copy Titan Souls to a pc, which doesn't have internet (but have the same OS). I copied the game folder from Program Files, and wanted to copy save folder from c:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Roaming\ but couldn't find it there.

The game works, and even has the save slot, but when I load the save slot I start from the very begging. Also that save slot says "2 bosses killed", while the only save slot on the main PC said "6 bosses killed". This is strage, but clearly I still need to find the save file. Where it is?


texts: I remember reading that a particular level on Candy Crush received a flood of complaints, so King made it easier. Did this happen, and which level was it?


texts:
Major spoilers in this question, so beware if you have yet to finish the game!

The question isn't so much about what happens to him since the ending is pretty unambiguous in that respect, but rather, what happened to...

   his face. Throughout the game you can see the metal clips around his face, which is even a different colour to the skin on his forehead and neck. At the end, after he dies, the mask comes off and you see his real face, with one eye burned and all horrible. Most intriguing is the massive Vault symbol scar, as it looks more like a strip of metal embedded in his skin rather than a scar. You can see his face here.

Is there any reference as to what happened here? Is some past event mentioned or anything? I don't remember hearing anything about it as I was a bit surprised when I found out about it towards the end.

Btw, I apologize for the weird question, I'm kinda new to Arqade...


texts: Why do my bosses all have minimal defense?

texts:
I tried to make  a slow motion Warning Forever run today (Fraps slows the game by approximately half), with kind of disappointing results (my 999 seconds countdown only run fell short of Grace's 180 seconds three ships regular run played in real time by some 10 million points — pictured is the last boss I fought).

Something I noticed, however, is that the game never thought it would be a good idea to have the bosses improve their defense.

What does the Defense score mean and what makes it increase? Am I missing something here, or do I just die too easily?


texts:
The game is 99.99% finished. Every site is 100% completed: documents, relics etc. The only thing not done, is the side mission to shoot the carrier bird.

I ran past the gate where it is located, when the mission started. It probably flew away. Now, even when using survival instincts, where green concentric circles should appear, no green highlighted bird can be found. I've walked around the main building, with the truck in front, and I've gone up the mountain, to the radio on top that you should destroy. However, wherever I look there's no bird.

To enlarge my search area, I have been into the copper mill and up the hill towards the prison. Has anyone got any clue as to where the missing bird could be?

texts:
I often play CS:GO after long hiatus's due to work and school, and most of the time, when I come back, my ranking has become "unranked", and displays the message "You need to win 1 more game to show your ranking".

My question is how long it takes for these skill groups to expire? I used to be a DMG, then stopped playing for 6 months, then came back, found I was unranked, won 1 match, and became double AKs.  Then I stopped playing for another 4 months, came back, was unranked, won 1 match, and became GN3.      I have recently come back after 3.5 months in hiatus, and have found out I am unranked.  I really do not like trying to win 1 match just to see my rank go lower and lower, so I ask how long does it take for these skill groups to expire, so I will not have to worry about losing my rank.

A screenshot with the recommended route as the dotted line:

I see the route, but how exactly do you perform this maneuver?

Many of my attempts end with the plane stalling out and "falling" left, into the wall. In that case, I can't get enough momentum quickly enough to recover.  I've been able to get above that purple beam by performing a sort of half loop (holding until I get to the top of the loop and then releasing, falling briefly before I resume flight) but that causes too much movement to the right when I resume and I hit the wall or an obstacle that is out of view in this screenshot.

texts: What is the best use of Warzone Commendations (for PVP purposes) after reaching Battlemaster (Valor Rank 60)?

texts:
While I understand the word "best" may make the question a little subjective, but from a pure PVP perspective what would be the best use of these commendations after you get to rank 60/buy all your gear?

I consider the mounts flavour items that don't do anything PVP wise (I do plan on getting them eventually though).

Healing and Expertise adrenals are 10 WZ commendations each and I use them pretty liberally (at least the healing one), and that is a good use of them.

At the moment I have been spending 70 WZ commendations and buying the Black Market Preimum PVP Bag They contain anywhere between 2-4 of each adrenal and a Bind on Equip level 45 green item that can be sold either on the GTN or just to a vendor for credits. The risk on the box is that you may or may not get the same number of adrenals as if you had just bought them 10 for 1.

What I am wondering is/are there better things to spend the WZ commendations on that will further PVP objectives?

texts: Are enemies vulnerable to a specific weapon type?

texts:
I picked up Super Stardust HD as part of the PSN's "Welcome Back" package a few months ago, but I didn't have a proper go at it until yesterday.

The game informs you early on that the three weapon types you posses are effective when trying to breakdown specific types of meteors (rock, gold and ice). However, the game's help hints that weapon vulnerabilities can be discerned from the color of what you are shooting at (green for rock smasher, red for gold cutter and blue for ice melter).

While all enemies I've come across so far are indeed color coded, I can't say I've noticed them dying more quickly based on my weapon selection. Then again, the game is pretty hectic so I can't say I've been able to experiment.

So are enemies really more vulnerable to the weapon corresponding to their color? What about bosses (The first boss has blue colored weak-spots)?

texts: Often I face this problem that I won't be allowed to change formation or do substitution in the middle of the game. Why is that? I am aware that I can do that only when I have ball in possession and also there is certain number of times only allowed. In such situations it clearly says either "you have no more pauses allowed" or "ball in opponents possession" where I am not allowed. My case is different. After I get the ball in possition I pause the game and when I click squad/foration it does nothing. I can change remaining settings like controller settings but it won't allow me to change squad or formation. Why is that?

texts: How to make backwards-compatible 360 games see Xbox One storage?

texts:
When I e.g. start Mass Effect (a backwards-compatible 360 game) on my Xbox One, it asks me what storage device I want to store saves on, but only gives me the option of using cloud storage. I don't want to do this, both because my Internet is spotty and because I'm letting my XBL Gold lapse at the end of the month. How can I make these 360 games see local storage on my Xbox One?

It would be OK if they could use a flash drive I plug into a USB port (though this solution is sub-optimal since I usually have three controllers plugged in), but I don't have a spare flash drive and don't want to buy one when I don't know if it will work.

It would be more ideal, then, if I could get 360 game data saving working with my XB1's internal storage, but OK if I can do it with a flash drive. Any help?


texts: Any way to rebind the left menu button in Elite: Dangerous on the Xbox One?

texts:
On the default and classic control schemes on the Xbox One port of Elite: Dangerous the left hand menu (back button) is bound to the OS friends snap-in.

This is useless most of the time, as friends list is already readily available through the snap in menu. It's also a little frustrating as in most games this button is bound to an in-game menu (inventory, skill-tree, crafting, etc) so it snapping out of the game is rather unexpected.

Is there any way to bind it to something that makes sense like the system map, galaxy map or Galcon powers/news?

How can I effectively counter a support Zyra?

Most skytoss units seem to be garbage at that point. Are Archons at all viable in this scenario?

When choosing a place to embark, there is a screen that shows all the neighbors. Sometimes, I see:

Goblins     ~~~~~~~~ with ~ being red.

What does this mean?

I have an archer on Hill (Woods) and an archer on Hill (Rainforest). Both have full amount of moves available (the turn just started) but I cannot swap them.

Neither is fortified.

There is an enemy crossbow. As far as i can tell, the unit does not have zone of control.

So why can't my units swap positions?
