I've been playing the game for a bit now, but I'm still confused what the purpose of the clan ring is, aside from giving you advice. I can send non-ring members to perform quests, trade, lead raids, et cetera. I know that having clan ring member follow a certain god will boost all magic involving that god, but is there anything else?

What unique benefits does a noble get for being on the clan ring, or is the only purpose of the clan ring to give you advice, and boost magic?

texts:
In tiny Death Star, Palpatine has given me the mission "Find the Bitizen" with the text "Working for tips is acceptable. Find 1 Bitizen(s)."

I assumed I had to wait for one of the events where you have to find a "rebel scum" and tap on it to get rid of. One of those events finally popped up but it did not complete the mission.

How do I complete this mission?


texts: I have discovered several adornments during the course of the game and according to the description, adornments can only be worn by monsters. But what are they for?

texts: When do Challenge notifications trigger?

texts:
My previous question about scoped sniper kills counting for no-scope Challenges, seems like it could be explained by the notification being delayed.

For instance, if the notifications don't trigger while scoped.

Like if it works like this:

I hit the halfway point of the no-scope Challenge, then immediately use the scope and kill some more, the notification doesn't trigger until I un-scope, so it seems like scoped kills count for no-scope, but they don't, and I'm just confused?

So I'm trying to create this villager that sells God apples and God Potions, but this command is so long that I can't find the error inside.

texts: Do Power Items actually reduce Speed EVs?

texts:
So I heard EV training is much faster when the Pokemon that is being EV trained holds a Power Item e.g Power Bracer, Weight, etc.

But I am worried about their drawback which is the fact that Speed gets reduced. But in terms of EVs, if the Pokemon I am training doesn't have any speed EVs on it, does the speed stat still get reduced?

Was there any special use of the actions that I missed ?

texts: Is the leveling system in World of Warcraft designed assuming players typically complete only some of the quests?

texts: I'm playing for the first time. I generally complete every quest before moving on to a new zone. I've found that as I neared completion of BC content on Outland, I'm close to level 80, while most of the sources online indicate that BC takes you from level 60-70. Am I an outlier or is this to be expected? Do people typically skip entire zones of content or complete only 60-70% of available quests?

Is it possible to re-name crew-members outside of the hanger, and if so, how?

texts: Why are there flying pigs in my Minecraft?

texts:
I played minecraft when suddenly some flying pigs spawned. They look like small pigs flying on a chicken (they are relatively small so it's hard to see):

They fly down in a straight line and then disappear with an "explosion" effect, but no actual blocks are destroyed. When they fall into water, there is a "bubbles" effect instead. Also, they seem to be immune to attacks. This is one immediately before impact:

I noted that the pigs started to spawn at ~21:00 on 25. December, so maybe it is because of some holiday (presumably christmas)?

texts: How can I stop the "quick shot" feature in XCOM 2 Tactical Missions?

texts:
So I just started playing XCOM 2 recently (I'm still on the Gatecrasher mission, no spoilers please!)  But I've noticed a really annoying "feature" where I click on the "fire" icon and my solider immediately fires on one of the visible enemies - without giving me the chance to select my target, if multiple targets are visible.

So far it hasn't screwed me, as my men have always ended up shooting the target I intended to shoot at anyway, but it scares me to think they might one day shoot the wrong guy.  (I did get screwed by a grenade throw though - my soldier ended up throwing the grenade off into the weeds without giving me a chance to position the blast radius over the enemies I actually wanted to hit.)

I haven't had much luck finding information on this "feature" or how to disable it online, although I did find this Reddit thread, which at least suggests it's a feature rather than a bug.  I gather that there's a keyboard shortcut (by pressing "1" twice) that will do this for the enemy with the best chance of being hit.  But this happens when I click (once) on the fire icon with the mouse (maybe it's registering two clicks really fast, by mistake?)

Does anybody have any information about this "quick shot" feature, or how to stop it from triggering?  I'm okay with solutions that disable the feature entirely as well as those that would stop it from happening on mouse-clicks alone.  I like taking my time to choose who I'll shoot at. =)

For the time being I'm training myself to use the number keys to select actions, as it's easier to ensure only one keypress that way.  This may very well end up being a solution in itself, but I'm accustomed to using the mouse from XCOM: EU/EW, and I'd like to continue doing it that way.

PS: I'm not a "modder" by any means, but I'm comfortable enough with computers and such that I'm also willing to hear ideas that involve editing .ini files and such, if anyone knows a way to accomplish this goal by playing with those settings.  Not my favourite solution, but acceptable for this purpose.

texts: How do I select all but two types of entities in Minecraft with the type selector?

texts:
I've asked this question towards a developer for Minecraft and I thought I'd ask here too since they might not see the question.

How do I select all but two types of entities in Minecraft?

For example, something like: /say @e[type=![Player,Item],r=50] (to clarify I also tried type=Item,Player, type=Item,type=Player etc)

Should select any entity that does not match players or items, so things like Creepers, Ghasts, XPOrbs, PrimedTNT and so on within a radius of 50 blocks and print them to the chat.

Instead it ignores one of the flags, and works with the other instead.


texts: How can I remove the "glowing" feature from objects? It is causing CS:GO to lag

texts:
Today when playing Nuke I noticed places such as 'T Roof' and 'vent' being 'shiny':

Before today they didn't look like that. I haven't made any changes to video settings (they are all set to low).
How can I remove this feature and make them look normal again?

The reason why I'm asking this is because CS:GO is lagging a lot. I never had this issue before, but now the FPS is ~30, even though my ping is 5. The FPS drops especially when I have more than one other player close to me.

The CPU usage for the game shows > 100%, which is really weird, because I have explicitly adjusted the launch options to use more than one core, using -threads 8. My CPU model is Intel Core i7-8550U.

Why is this happening?

This is what my 'top' looks like in a competitive game in Nuke, playing with bots:

texts:
I often have to travel to missions on the other side of the city, and driving back and forth is getting tedious, even with my full-throttle, one-way-ignoring, traffic-light-ignoring driving style. I tried taking the subway but it's not really helping - just getting through the station takes a while, there are animations every time the subway enters or leaves a station, and worse of all, the subway actually travels in its intended route and can't take me anywhere else but the actual next stop. This may be realistic, but not really useful.

What other methods of fast-traveling are there, how can I use them and which is (generally) the best for traveling large distances? Does it depend on which island I'm on?

texts:
I saw people in season ten using a gem of ease in the weapon of a zero dps support barbarian. The gem of ease grants experience based on monster kills. But a zero dps support barbarian does not kill any monster.

What sense does it make to use the gem of ease in a support barbarian, if the barbarian does not kill anything?

The only reason I can imagine is, that the gem gets affected by party member kills.

I know that the gem works in the opposite direction. If the wearer of the gem kills a monster, every party member gets the experience bonus of the gem. I tried this already several times while leveling additional characters to level 70 in a party.

But the question is: does this really work in the opposite direction? Will the whole party get an experience bonus from the gem, when one party member wears the gem and some other party member kills a monster?

Does this gem work in the same way as the Oculus ring?

I've crafted a full set of armor for Lydia, but every now and again she'll revert back to her circular iron starter shield instead of the one I made for her. The only way I've seen to fix this is to trade with her, take the shield, and then give it back.

texts:
I'm having this problem with Skyrim that after I entered the Night Mother's coffin when the sanctuary was on fire, after waking up by Babette and Nazir I'm suck inside the coffin facing the Night Mother.

I can't move and do a single thing. I have reloaded my save several times hoping it would fix it to no avail.

UESP.net claims that this bug is fixed by version 1.9.26.0.8 of the Official Skyrim Patch and since I have Version 1.9.32.0.8 it seems not to be fixed.

I have looked for a way to fix this bug for many hours but failed to find any. I'd be immensely grateful for any solution.

UPDATE
I am playing on PC and I also have tried many console commands such as tfc, tcl, player.moveto, setstage, etc.
The problem is I have no control over my character.
I event tried moving my character to Astrid's location which she noticed my arrival by saying a line of dialogue but I still can't move a muscle!

Possible Duplicate:
  Can I alter the biome of an area?

After, copying my vanilla world to bukkit, the biome seems to have changed from tundra to snow (while the terrain is the same as I noticed by creating a new world with same seed). This means that there is a straight border between the tundra part of the world that I previously explored, and the snow land that bukkit generates now. It also causes WorldGuard to let my lake freeze since it is in a snow biome now.

Long story short: Is there any way to change the local biome back into tundra?

I don't know about 3d engines, but arbitrarily increasing the number of polygons is something any engine can do; if they refer to speed instead, I'm very skeptical that it can render 10 times as much polygons in the same amount of time.

texts:
I have been playing a Monk for around 50 hours now and I haven't got a single drop of this item. I am now just planning to farm it as best as I can but am unsure how to do this.

What is the best way to achieve this set? Shall I do GR? Or normal rifts on T1 over and over until I get them?

Or is aiming for blood shards better as I have read you can get this set in there. Any help would be great as I feel like im wasting a lot of time by farming the wrong places for these items.

All my gear is pretty weak, I have a DH that has 900k damage so I can run T3 and handle it pretty well. Thats what I have been using to farm T1 rifts for blood shards.

texts: Can I run Day of the Tentacle Remastered Edition with ScummVM?

texts:
I remember that when Loom, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and The Dig were re-released on Steam it was possible to play the games through ScummVM.

Is it possible to play the Day of the Tentacle Remastered Edition through ScummVM too?  I have tried this method but it doesn't work:

When using DoubleFine Explorer to extract the files (use the tool to go into classic/en) I see tentacle.000, tentacle.001 and monster.sou.  These are for the original 90's release (i.e. not the remastered version).


texts: How to repair Puzzle marked as ??? in Puzzle Swap?

How can I repair that?


texts:
I have had multiple experiences with Clash of Clans not saving (for lack of a better word) before I close the game, and not noticing until the next time I play.

For example:

I open the game and train some troops,  then close the game.  Then I come back later to check on them, but they  have disappeared,  neither in the barracks or the army camps. I assume this is because my client did not sync with the server before I closed the game.

Note: this has also occurred while over a stable WiFi connection. My Clash of Clans is connected to Facebook and Google+.

When does Clash of Clans save and how can I make sure this happens?

texts: How do I automatically change the camera in a track in Trackmania 2?

texts:
I'm trying to get the camera to change while excuting a loop.

In previous Trackmania games (such as Nations) you would create a ghost file (the track is now haunted), within the ghost recording you would set a trigger at the beginning of loop, set the camera (to internal), and create a second trigger at the end of the loop to set the camera back to default.

In Trackmania 2 I've created the ghost file and added the triggers, when I replay the ghost file, the camera switches like I expect, however, when I validate the track, the triggers do not fire, and the camera never changes.

What am I missing?

texts:
CK2 is a big game with lots of variables, so I'll stick to adding them upon being requested to minimize the hassle.

Anyway, let's say that you have a lot of children and the oldest one claims all the land according to laws of succession. After the father dies, the circumstances will obviously piss off a lot of people (in my case that would be 6 out of 8 vassals and 4 siblings with an opinion of -50 and below one of which is a sister married to the Basileus of the Byzantine friggin' Empire, a case of excommunication, 4 failed assassination attempts under 3 years... and lots and lots of vikings). Let's also say that the current playable character is completely incompetent compare to the next sibling in line.

So, what would be the most optimal methods to off myself without further screwing over the countryside so the next heir in line has to fix it (if we assume that said heir is actually capable of doing so)?

This is my list of DLCs (not including music and unit packs):

Charlemange

texts: Do disc saves on PS4 work with digital games?

texts:
I got Uncharted 4 early and managed to get up to Chapter 10. I also had a digital version of the game preordered which just unlocked at midnight and I'm having some trouble getting the digital version of my game to recognise my existing save.

When I boot the game up it only gives me the option of "New game" and not "Continue", like it does when I put the disc in.

Do disc saves work with digital games? Both the games are PAL versions. I really hope I haven't lost my progress.

I've uploaded some images of the storage on my console.

http://imgur.com/a/XNzSC

The disc version and digital version seem to have different data stored separately. Is there a way to fix this?

If I delete the saved game data from the digital game, when I go to boot the digital game up, it just creates a new game save and doesn't try to load my existing physical save.

I'm not an experienced player, I've seen a few decks and I have no idea if they're strong or if I just played badly against their startegy so I have no idea which cards are good, or if there are ostensibly bad ones I should avoid.

I'd like this decision to prove valid at least for the current meta.

It can be easily tested by just transferring my account, but I hope for confirmation before investing 2600 RP.

texts: Having problems with the 'distance=' command in Minecraft 1.13.2

texts:
I'm having some problems, a problem that seems simple, but seems to keep eluding me.

The command I'm using as a test is this:

/gamemode adventure @a[gamemode=creative,distance=..2]

Above that, I have this:

/gamemode creative @a[gamemode=adventure,distance=3..5]

However, when I tried to make another 'boundary' of the same kind with the same commands in the same way, it didn't work, and I have no idea why. The second one does nothing at all, the first one is fine but every time I try make a second or even a third one it does nothing.

Both setups are completely identical in every way, even in other worlds its the same, one works but the other does nothing at all.

The first block is set to Repeat, Unconditional, Always Active, while the one above that it is set to Chain, Unconditional, Always Active, they are about 8 blocks away from each other and I have them the same, even the blocks around their 'borders'

I'm not using any mods. I haven't touched any files since download (other than to add resource packs or maps).

If anyone can explain this and help me out, that would be great.

texts: Caped bullet kin spawn chance per floor, best odds of finding them, speed running the first 2 floors or slowly completing the last 3?

texts:
Q: Has anyone ever compiled any information regarding how often or what percent chance each floor has to spawn a caped bullet kin? And where can I find that info if it has been looked into?
I checked the wiki and many other places of information and their sources but the best I got was that they are more likely to appear / spawn the lower you go. But no more info or stats than that.
The reason I am asking (incase this would be easier to answer or to make this make sense) is I am trying to figure out if it would be faster to get the 5 caped kin I need to unlock The Bullet, if I just run the first two floors over and over since I can ace those super fast no prob, might be able to run those two floors together and reset three times, maybe lol, all in the time it takes me to finish the last 3 floors once.
Q: So would I have better chances finding them speed running the first two floors a few times or slowly pushing through the last three once?
which ever of these two is easier to answer is fine though I would really like the stats if they exist. That would be super cool.
Thanks ahead of time for any help with this!

texts: How to play a Tank Destroyer in World of Tanks?

texts:
I've played several Tank Destroyers, SPGs and Light Tanks so far and reached Tier V with each of them. (Panzer IV, M41, StuG III)

My observation is that the overall difficulty level increases because you are faced with tanks which are more tough nuts to crack. In case of an SPG I had to learn how to properly aim at the weak spots and/or calculate with tank speed (I noticed that the higher the tier of the tank the opponent sits in the more aware they get of a possible SPG threat). I also get bigger guns (155mm howitzer in M41 for example)

In my Light/Medium tanks I had to learn how to use cover so I don't die instantly and how I can use my speed to work myself around bigger threats. I do feel that the higher tier I get my tanks become more capable.

In case of my tank destroyer StuG III I feel that this is not the case. I'm not as fast as a lighter tank, and I do not have the firepower of a heavy tank. (I can't shoot behind covers either). The StuG III has the same derp gun as the Hetzer but since it is a higher tier I often face Tigers and KV-1s. I also noticed that since the StuG III's armor is not as sloped as the Hetzer's I am more vulnerable. I don't feel the same progression with tiers as I do with other tank types. It seems to me that I did not learn something important about playing tank destroyers since the higher tier I get the less fun I have with them.

Do you have some guidelines for a puzzled tank destroyer player?
StuG III specific answers are also welcome

So, does the dweller continue training even if it was left unattended for extended periods? if thats the case, i can just dump a bunch of dwellers and leave them there over the 2-3 days (total time needed to max a SPECIAL), and come back just to switch them to a new room.


texts: Cover and aim penalty for an overwatch shot triggered from enemy action

texts: In X-COM 2, it's been reported that on overwatch shots, there is a 70% (when moving) or 60% (when dashing) penalty to aim, but the enemy no longer has cover to make up for it.  When using an ability that allows overwatch to trigger on enemy actions, not just movement, what is the penalty?  Do they still have their cover, in which case you might as well just shoot at them?  Do they not have cover and have a 70% aim modifier, as if they had moved?


texts: How do I teleport players based on their teams?

texts:
I'm making a costum map which uses comandblocks to teleport players to a spot.
The commandblocks are setup under two rooms. (One for team red players and one for team blue players). I need to teleport all players frome one team to a spot (-100 100 -100).
and the other team to another spot (100 100 -100).

The problem is that the comand blocks used to teleport team blue are closer to the team red room. This means that I can't just setup the commandblock like this:

  tp  @a[r=10] 100 100 -100

How can I make shure that one team gets telepoarted to the right area.

Note: This is just an example, there are over 100 commandblocks that need to work. This probebly means that timing it right requires a lot of redstone experiance and is almost inpossibile. The best way would be if there is a command I can just use.


texts: Minecraft LAN server works but cannot find it

texts:
a friend and I usually play Minecraft together on LAN worlds. Everything works perfectly if we direct connect by typing in the local IP address as well as the port.

The games do not show up in the multiplayer screen under Scanning for games on your local network

I have added Minecraft and JavaApplicationStub to allow incoming connections in my Mac firewall.

It is annoying to have to type in the IP and port every time we want to play. Also, we are trying a new mod and when we open the world to LAN, there is no message that tells the port. Is there a way I can get these games to appear when scanning for multiplayer games? We are both on Mac OS X.

Training against the AI robably that won't work for platinum and diamond players, but definitely helps for those who are silver/gold or new players. Is this true, or is it better just to play usual multi-player games?


texts: Do grunt executions count as pilot executions for unlocks?

texts:
When you stand behind an enemy pilot and hold the melee button, you perform an (interruptible) pilot execution. For multiplayer, there are multiple different animations and to unlock them you need to perform a certain amount of pilot executions.

I realized that you can also perform executions on NPC grunts. Do those also count as pilot executions for those unlocks?

I've seen a lot of people referring to "1st boss", "2nd boss", etc. As far as I can tell, that's more common than calling them by their name, and most people seem to understand it. As I haven't really had time to play it all that successfully, I've yet to meet a boss, too.

Is there a fixed order, or some kind of suggested order in which one should pursue the bosses? Can I influence which boss I'm fighting next?

texts: Which machines can I use to fight with in the Underground Colosseum?

In the Underground Colosseum you can participate in as 9S, you are forced to use machines you've remote controlled in the past to fight in the trials as.

Naturally, I had the Short Stubby (plus a variant or two), as well as versions of the Short, Medium, and Goliath Bipeds and the Small Flier. However, there were many rooms that were empty, presumably due to the fact I didn't hack whatever type of machine lifeform belonged in them.

That said, what machines am I able to fight as in the Underground Colosseum?


texts: What item did I just collect in the water southeast of Los Santos?

texts:
After one of the story missions there is a forced switch to Trevor, when he wakes up on an island off the southeast coast of Los Santos, in his underwear, with several dead bodies around him.

I was messing around with the boats nearby, dove into the water, and spotted an item lying among some rusted underwater structures.  When I swam over the item, nothing happened except the sound effect that plays whenever you pick up something of interest.  No collection counter appeared, no money was earned, no other visible changes occurred.

The approximate location of this mysterious item is indicated by the red dot:

The map shown here is from the progress tracker on Rockstar's Social Club site.  According to that map, there is no trackable item located there.  Since nuclear waste isn't tracked on this map, I thought it could be one of those.  However, according to this other map, there is nuclear waste located nearby, but not where I found this item.  Also I think you need to be in the sub to collect waste... I haven't explored that yet so I'm not sure.

What did I pick up?

texts: Steam Dynamic Collection with and/or logic in tags

texts:
Is it possible to create a Dynamic Library in Steam, that uses "OR" logic?
E.g. all games that have either tag "A" OR tag "B"?

If you add multiple tags to a search, it uses "AND" logic.
I've noticed that you can manually add games to a saved dynamic library, which acts as a "OR" logic (it shows all games which either that tag OR the manually added games).

If it is not possible to do this manually in the Steam GUI, would there be a way to do this programmatically with the Steam API?


texts: (Java Minecraft 1.14) How to set the probability of nested entries in a loot table?

texts:
I'm trying to add a new drop, 'Dark Quartz', as a rare drop for the nether quartz ore, using a datapack. I want to replace the old loot table and add a new one, so I've copied the vanilla one out of the vanilla datapack and put it in the minecraft namespace in my datapack:

{
  "type": "minecraft:block",
  "pools": [
    {
      "rolls": 1,
      "entries": [
        {
          "type": "minecraft:alternatives",
          "children": [
            {
              "type": "minecraft:item",
              "conditions": [
                {
                  "condition": "minecraft:match_tool",
                  "predicate": {
                    "enchantments": [
                      {
                        "enchantment": "minecraft:silk_touch",
                        "levels": {
                          "min": 1
                        }
                      }
                    ]
                  }
                }
              ],
              "name": "minecraft:nether_quartz_ore"
            },
            {
              "type": "minecraft:item",
              "functions": [
                {
                  "function": "minecraft:apply_bonus",
                  "enchantment": "minecraft:fortune",
                  "formula": "minecraft:ore_drops"
                },
                {
                  "function": "minecraft:explosion_decay"
                }
              ],
              "name": "minecraft:quartz"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

As you can see, there is one entry of the type minecraft:alternatives. This will select one entry from a list of "children": sub-entries. There are two sub-entries: one for if the player uses a silk touch pick, and one for if they use a pickaxe with fortune (including Fortune 0). I want to make the second entry, with the Fortune, have a 1/20 chance of additionally dropping a Dark Quartz item.

I know that to do this I can't add a third entry, because it would drop the Dark Quartz instead of the normal quartz, so therefore I need to nest two sub-sub-entries in the second sub-entry, and have the normal quartz sub-sub-entry get picked always and the other sub-sub-entry get picked 1/20 times.

This is where I'm stuck, because I don't know if nesting in this way is possible, or how to make one entry always be selected and the other be selected a certain portion of the time. Additionally, I would ideally have it where if there was no fortune on the pick, the only drop would be either quartz (19/20) or dark quartz (1/20). If there was a fortune great enough to have multiple drops, only one of the normal quartzes would have a 1/20 percent chance of being a Dark Quartz, while the rest would stay the same. However, I would be content with just getting the dark quartz to additionally be selected 5% of the time, as I originally detailed. If you need it for reference, the entry for my Dark Quartz should look something like this:

{
  "type": "minecraft:item",
  "functions": [
    {
      "function": "set_name",
      "name": {"text":"Dark Quartz","color":"dark_gray","italic":"false"}
    },
    {
      "function": "set_nbt",
      "tag": "{DarkQuartz:1b,CustomModelData:1}"
    },
    {
      "function": "minecraft:explosion_decay"
    }
  ],
  "name": "minecraft:quartz"
}

Any help is appreciated.

After finishing the quests that take me through the hotel to get to the parking lot, I accumulated a fair number of champagne bottles, which I dutifully turned in for diamonds.  Now I've got 8 diamonds.

Can I sell some of my diamonds and still have enough for late game, or should I hoard every single one?

texts: Is there any way to use two consoles for simultaneous play on the same TV by using Dualplay?

texts:
Are there any devices that can merge two HDMI device signals into one 3D-like signal so that I can display them using Dualplay?

Normally, Dualplay requires a game (and console) that supports this feature to be played on just one console. I would like to use two consoles on the same TV using the Dualplay feature and play something over Live or system link.

In other words:  I want to play two separate games on the same TV at the same time, but not be able to see each other's game.

For those who are unfamiliar:  Dualplay is television feature (developed by LG) that utilizes the 3D layering features of certain televisions to project two separate channels of information that are then viewable with 3D glasses which filter one of the two channels.  This allows you to play a dual player game, but at full screen instead of the traditional split-screen style of play where each player can only see their own information.

Does it drop, or unlock anything special, that the normal boss doesn't?
Are there any other differences than the ones i listed? (Faster, higher damage, other spawns)

texts: Will Mordin speed up construction of the Crucible?

texts:
I'm stuck as to whether to convince Mordin to lie and go work on the Crucible (the sentimental choice, as Mordin is awesome), or to have him disperse the cure at the expense of his own life (the "doing right by the krogan" choice). My question is, does getting him to lie help with the Crucible at all (in terms of Galactic Readiness and all that) or is it mostly window dressing?

As I understand it, having the krogan on your side as opposed to the salarian forces you get by doing things the dalatrass' way counts for more in terms of war resources. I just want to know whether having Mordin on the Crucible contributes substantially to that or if his efforts are better served curing the genophage instead. Is it worth screwing Wrex over if Mordin gets the Crucible done? I have a feeling I know the answer, but additional input would be nice.

I just started a 'long day' game by customizing the default world. Basically this means that I spend almost the entire game in daytime.

From what I've read online, the Xbox USB mics are compatible with the PS3 but they only ever mention using 1 mic.

Since the mics that come with SingStar actually only use 1 USB connection for both mics does this mean that I will be able to use the RockBand mic but only one of them or has anyone had luck with using 2 USB RockBand mics in lieu of the standard Red and Blue SingStar mics?

There are some fast driving cars I need to take down in GTA 4. For instance the first mission after

   Niko found out that Michelle is an undercover cop and took him to an office,

and a most wanted list from the police computer.

The problem is those cars drive and turn so fast that I can barely keep up with them, let alone take them down. Shooting from the car doesn't help much either.

Any advice?


texts: So I have two different Kim K games. One is on my iPad, and one is on my phone.  My iPad character had 116 k-stars in the account, so I had him gift the one on my iPhone.  It took his K stars.  He only has 20-some left but I can't find it on my phone.  I looked at the clothes in my closet and I never got a notification.  What do I need to do?

I am in the process of configuring a Counterstrike: Global Offensive server and I was wondering if the game mode and game type can be changed on the fly, preferably from within the game by calling a vote, without restarting the server process?

Currently I am running the server in Classic Competitive mode but below is the combinations of game mode and game type which invoke the different play modes;

Mode                   game_mode    game_type
Classic Casual             0            0
Classic Competitive        0            1
Arms Race                  1            0
Demolition                 1            1

From the documentation I have read so far these are set as you launch the server process as follows;

srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 0 +game_mode 1 +mapgroup mg_bomb +map de_dust2

Is it possible to change gamemode or gametype while the server is running?


texts: Can a 3DS receive DS Download Play games from DS cartridges?

texts: Can the 3DS receive and play games from the regular DS (DS, DSi, DS Lite, DSi XL)?  For example, Tetris from Tetris DS or Mario vs Luigi from New Super Mario Bros.  Or will I lose the ability to play these games with my DS-friends once I upgrade to a 3DS?


texts: What happens if you beat Cassiopeia the second time?

texts: In the game "Ni No Kuni", after beating Cassiopeia (and the second version, and the council guy), you see a lot of credits and you unlock the post ending stuff. I randomly entered the room afterwards and she's still there and I can fight her again. What happens when you beat her a second time? Is the sequence the same (witch, second version, council guy)? Are there more credits or do you just end up in the room where the battle was in? Can you beat her a third time?


texts: Strangely low framerate in Shadow Fight 2 for Windows 8

texts:
I've been playing Shadow Fight 2 (Windows Store version) for about 2 months now, and recently a friend of mine decided to play the iOS version. The iOS version appears to have a much better framerate!

Despite my "slower" Windows version:

The timer still kept time accurately (1s in-game = 1s realtime)
Gameplay was still acceptable
Background particles moved at the same speed

What I've tried:

Lowering graphics quality (framerate actually dropped)
Reinstalling
Going offline/online (only reduced loading time)

Computer specs:

Windows 10 Pro
Intel 6th-gen i5 core
4GB RAM

Special notice: Using a temperature-monitoring program, it appears that Shadow Fight 2 runs smoother  (comparable to the framerate of the iOS version) when my computer is above 38°C.

What is the reason behind this?  Is there anything I can do to improve the framerate of the game?


texts: What are the triple circles on the HUD in Warframe?

texts: What do the triple circles in a triangle configuration on the left side of each player tag signify?  They come and go during the game, but I haven't figured out what they mean.  Also, what does the 3 under mine mean?

I have been currently attempting to install Pokemon Go for a while, since yesterday.

I've found to my disappointment that I couldn't find Pokemon Go in the Play Store at all. Even though I'm in Australia, where Pokemon Go is supposed to be released, I can't find it.

I've also attempted a direct APK download from apkmirror, but a strange parsing error has been blocking the installation.

Does anyone else have this problem, and does anyone have a possible solution to it?


texts: Do scopes affect the trajectory of your weapon's shots, or just make it easier to aim?

texts:
In Apex Legends there are a variety of different scopes you can pick up and attach to different weapons. They offering differing zoom levels and reticles, and some can highlight enemy players. A good scope can definitely make it easier to see and point at distance targets. However, even with a big scope attached, I still have a hard time landing shots on distant enemies.

This had me wondering whether scopes have any effect on the trajectory of your weapon's fire, or if they were only a visual tool to help the human player aim the shots. Do crosshairs have any effect on bloom, recoil, or other mechanical factors that make it harder to land shots at a distance, even if you get your crosshair pointed at the right spot?

On the Turbografx 16 you could play as the Axis side (green) by doing the following:

  At the title screen choose game mode (new game or 1p continue) then hold Select and press Button I.

With the Wii Virtual Console game version, with the Wiimote, I tried pressing "-" and button "1" after choosing new game but it did not work for me.

Anyone know how to play as the Axis side on the Wii version of Military Madness?

According to nomanssky.gamepedia.com (starship) the Explorer ship has better stealth capabilities:

  Explorer starships have better engines and hyperdrives than other
  ships, allowing for faster and further travel. Additionally, ships in
  this class have better stealth capabilities, improving their pilots'
  ability to remain undetected during exploration.

How does stealth work in NMS? I haven't seen any sort of cloaking or other means. Perhaps it's passive to prevent pirates from seeing you?
