texts: Not Enough Items doesn't have an options button

texts:
Since I have installed quite a few of mods I decided to also install Not Enough Items so that I wouldn't have to look at the wiki of every mod when I want to craft something.

texts: Is this possible to load a saved game faster?

texts:
Platform: PlayStation 4.

Saving a game in the Witcher 3 is super fast. However, when I load a saved game, it's taking over a full minute due to a cutscene which is played before it actually starts loading, then the loading itself isn't so fast either.

From quick search, it looks like skipping the cutscene is not possible, but I still wonder:

Is it possible to change some setting to totally disable that loading cutscene?
Is it possible to tweak something to make the actual loading (after the cutscene) be faster?


texts: Overwatch Workshop: set payload starting position?

texts:
Is there any way to affect the payload's position with workshop rules?

I've found a lot of tutorials, and none of them affect the behavior of the payload. (Although there is a cute one that makes heroes magnetically drawn to the payload).

I've found how to get the position of the payload, but not how to set it. Is that possible?

NOTE: I haven't been able to find a comprehensive list of the keywords for the workshop (let alone documentation), so those links would be helpful, too.


texts: How do weapons with status ailments work?

texts: While looking at one of the weapon trees, I noticed the last four "elements" are not really elements in the same sense as the rest.  Poison, Paralyze, Sleep, and Slime are more like status inflictions.  These types still have a damage associated with them.  How does status damage work to inflict status ailments on monsters and how does it relate to normal damage types?


texts:
With the September 2016 update, the Streetpass Mii Plaza is said to be able to hold 100 Miis in the queue, as opposed to the maximum of 10 it could before, as long as the user has purchased the Premium update.

I do have the Premium update, but the Plaza seems to still have a maximum of 10 Miis in a queue at one time. It filled up and wouldn't accept any more until I "welcomed" them.

A new icon has also appeared and selecting it says that I can have people wait in there but there is no indication about how I could do this.

How does the new maximum of 100 Miis work?

Thusly, how does one use this item or if it's passive, what is it actually doing?


texts:
I'm a total newbie Monster Hunter player and have just started playing
Freedom Unite on PSP.

Having breezed through the tutorial levels (though I haven't played
all of the weapon tutorials yet), I'm attempting the quest which,
according to the game, is the easiest quest available - the
Giadrome. But, in 4-5 attempts so far, I've been unable to defeat it!

I do feel I am getting better at the game - I'm familiar with the
Giadrome's movements. I'm dying less. I've been able to isolate the
Giadrome in an area by itself (so I don't have to deal with Giaprey at
the same time). I've managed to get the Giadrome to flee into a
neighbouring area several times. But it seems that no matter how many
times I hit it, it never goes down!

What am I doing wrong? How many times do I have to hit this thing?

texts: Tagging a class with no Awakening weapon on release

texts:
Since the new class, Sage will be released on EU / NA today and I have never tagged a character before, I was wondering the following:

Sage will release without an Awakening weapon - how does this affect tagging him?
Most likely he will receive his Awakening weapon later. Can I just tag the weapon when it's released or do I need to tag my whole gear again this time with his AWK Weapon?
How does not having an Awakening weapon affect his damage in Succession?

I'm playing on PC.


texts: Which bosses in Borderlands 2 have an increased legendary drop rate when killed for the first time?

texts:
I know that the Warrior has an increased drop chance (75%?) for legendaries when you kill him while being on the mission. Thus people kill him and reset right after using the moonshot (or make their saves read-only) if he doesn't drop the Conference Call for example.

If I am not mistaken the same is true for the final boss of the Tiny Tina DLC wherein you can Alt+F4 without freeing the queen in the end if there is no suitable drop.

Which other bosses have an increased drop rate when killed for the first time and is it recommended to use this method of farming them with the increased drop chance?


texts: Why was my Destiny 2 drop such a low level?

texts:
I was playing through a Strike with a friend today and I got this drop.

Even though my power level is 251, the defense on this piece of armor was only 10. It had good stats, but I don't understand why the defense is so low.


texts:
I recently found out that if equipped in right hand slot, shield can be uesd as a weapon. It deals much lower damage and attack is pretty slow. The only case I think this could be useful is if all other weapons suddenly break and are no longer usable without repair. But I just started, so I don't know much.

Is there some benefit to attacking with shields? Maybe there is some specific shield that is particularly good in role of a main weapon?

texts: Manually set items transferred with a train

texts:
I have train that runs between a farm and a factory; it has 1 livestock cart, 4 grain carts and 2 goods carts. I want it to deliver livestock and grain from the farm to the factory, then collect goods and deliver it back to the farm.

At the station closest to the farm is a lorry station, a lorry should transport the goods into town.

The problem is that when the train reaches the farm it unloads the goods and then re-loads them immediately.

How can I set the train's behaviour to match the behaviour I want?


texts: How do you use the wire cutter tool?  I use Focus and see the wires, but when I approach them, there's no prompt to cut them.

I also see wire junction boxes near the traps, however when I approach them nothing happens.  What am I missing?


texts: Will the water go on forever, or is there some secret eventually?

texts:
I just got my first anti-cube in a room where I had to throw four purple blocks with unique patterns on them in order to make yellow "power" lines flow in a bigger block.

I decide to try swimming in the pink (light purple?) water below it, but it goes on forever. Is there some secret if you swim for an hour or something?

I left my controller stuck and he swam for 20 minutes but it just kept going. Had to quit and come back (which started me back on the island). Made me wonder...


texts: Is there a way to find out which wonders have already been built?

I got a weak poison that has healing properties! I play with the Requiem mod so any healing source is acceptable. But I can't find a way to poison myself. I tried to shoot an arrow upwards (and use a shield and high armor class of course), but it won't hit me.

Maybe poison some deployable weak trap? Or convert the poison into a potion, but how?

I'll accept console commands that can do the trick!


texts:
Okay, so I'm trying to catch the 15-pound lunker in the fishing pond as an adult to get the Golden Scale (which is frustrating enough in itself, with the way the fishing seems to work...).

I use the fishing rod, and attract the attention of the big fish by the log. Except, EVERY time I lose the fish -- whether it just loses interest, or it bites and I fail to catch it -- it swims to the middle of the pond, and I CANNOT get its interest ever again unless I leave the fishing pond, re-enter, pay again, and make another attempt.

I have to do this EVERY TIME I fail to catch the fish in one try. I've spent hundreds of rupees on this thing. This isn't isolated to just the one fish, either. As far as I can tell, whenever I walk/swim to close to any fish whatsoever (or get its interest and fail to catch it), that fish swims to the middle of the pond and simply becomes un-catchable -- I can't even target the fish anymore.

This is just... SO annoying. Enter, pay, fail, exit, repeat. I'll probably just catch it on the first try by sheer luck before this is answered, but I have to ask if anyone else has had this happen to them, because from what I've seen online, nobody has.

Also, I'm playing the 3DS version. I can't ever remember this happening in the N64 version. =/

EDIT: Just caught the fish. Thank god. After 400+ rupees, 20+ failed attempts, and literally (I know because I looked at the clock) 5+ straight minutes of reeling and almost 2 minutes of the thing flopping around at my feet, I caught the friggin' fish.

I'm going to throw this thing at the wall if this happens in Master Quest, too.


texts: Counter Dark Templar rush in 2v2 as zerg/protoss

texts:
I play 2v2, me as protoss, my teammate as zerg. Recently we have been victim to many Dark Templar rushes, and they have all been impossible to counter.

Scouting will not reveal much, it doesn't always reveal 2 gas, and I see cyber/gate while they wall in. It's not possible to scout their shrine.

I 4 gate and we attack reasonably early. However at this point they have a DT in our base, suddenly, and to detect it requires a forge>cannons or a robo>observer, which is way too late in either case when a DT is killing your probes one by one.

When playing against PT, they can warp DTs up the side using a scan as well, which frequently happens. There are so many different builds, that we can't always assume DTs as what we can see with the 2nd scout is a wall in with marines/marauders, and a sentry or couple of protoss units. If the terran player goes mass marine and feeds the protoss gas, it makes the situation even worse.

Any ideas on how to defend?


texts: Is a diamond sword with Unbreaking III, Sharpness IV, Knockback II, and Fire Aspect II possible?

texts:
I was recently playing on Mineverse, a Minecraft server. I was playing prison, and I was enchanting a diamond sword. I put on 30 levels of XP, and guess what came out...

Unbreaking III, Sharpness IV, Knockback II, and Fire Aspect II, together.

Is this possible in vanilla? I've been reading up on enchantment mechanics, and it seems to be impossible (4 enchantments in one try). The levels are also maxed out, making me think that this may have been something special on the server. However, most of my previous enchantments seemed normal.

What is the logic behind this? Is there a way to play in any region and in any language? (legally of course)


texts: I have created a Guild with 2 of my friends.  It seems like for smaller guilds, there is almost no way to level the guild.

texts: In The Secret World, there are Casting Toolkits which allow you to destroy a weapon and then allow you to apply its visual look to another weapon of that type. I got a Tyrfing from Polaris which I love the look of Very Much, and would like to apply it to the Blade that I'm questing with now, but I'd also like to take that blade that I cast Tyrfing onto and "recover" Tyrfing's look from it and apply it to something else in the future (say, something from Nightmares or what have you). If I cast Tyrfing's look onto what I'm wielding now, can I later use a Casting Toolkit on the blade I'm using and apply it to something else? If I can, will that use the normal look of my blade, or will it use Tyrfing's look?


texts:
It happens a lot when you see their streams.

I notice it more on High Tier Players (around Challenger/Diamond/Master) and Casters often say that the player leveled some ability late.

I usually get out of base and skill my ability right away.

The times that I don't do that are just because I forgot or I went to get something to drink.

Why do most pros put a point into one of their abilities at like 1 minute 50?
Are there any benefits for that?

What's their thought process through that?


texts: I have a tendency to regret my build after I start spending ability/skill points, which is why I appreciate when a game allows me to respec later on.

In GTA Online I was flying around the military base (Fort Zancudo) in a helicopter at night, looking for what vehicles are there. I thought that flying over the base would make me wanted, so I carefully stayed outside. When I spotted fighter jets I decided to risk it and flew over the base, but didn't gain any wanted level! So I flew around for a few minutes, and only got 4-stars when I landed. It was pretty easy to run to the jet, kill a soldier who spawned next to it and fly off.

From what I've read, breaking into the base should be a lot more difficult. Was this just a one-off, or is it easier to break in during the night (or something else)?

texts: How is credit for hero kills by allied towers and creeps determined?

texts:
Often in-game I will see an enemy hero be killed by an allied tower (usually due to a failed gank), and a nearby hero will be credited with the kill, getting gold and (presumably) experience for the kill even though he didn't actually score the last hit. Other times I see different behavior, such as this clip where a death to the fountain was (seemingly) credited to no one on the enemy team.

How exactly is credit for tower and allied creep kills determined? Is it just based on proximity to the kill, or is there some other factor at play? How is the gold and experience for these kills distributed? What about assists? I'd appreciate an explanation of the mechanics of this system.

texts:
I'm a little fuzzy on how growth rates and stat caps work and how they interact. From what I can tell, each character has their own individual growth rates for each of their stats. This affects their chances of increasing a certain stat when they level up. For example, Unit X has a 30% growth rate for SPD. This means that whenever Unit X levels up, there's a 30% chance that the SPD stat will increase by 1. Different classes have no effect on the growth rate, so being a Barbarian or Myrmidon doesn't restrict my Avatar's MAG growth rate.

Stat caps, on the hand, vary between classes. Promoted classes (Dark Flier, Great Lord, Grandmaster, etc.) tend to have higher stat caps than their respective un-promoted classes. These stat caps describe how high you can go in a specific stat when you are in that specific class. Borrowing from my earlier example, Unit X has a stat cap of 20 for SPD in Class Y. As long as Unit X belongs to Class Y, his/her SPD cannot go above 20, no matter how much he/she levels.

Am I understanding this correctly?

P.S. What happens if you go from a promoted class to an un-promoted class after hitting the stat cap? I am of the understanding that your stats go down to the stat cap, but are these extra stats lost or are they regained if you raise the stat cap (by promotion or switching another class with a higher stat cap)?

texts: Weapons' upgrades unavailable in Metal Gear Rising

texts:
So, I've acidentally pressed New Game, which, unfortunately, erased all my previous purchases and status. I've already played through the game again on Hard Mode just to re-unlock my upgrades in the Shop. However, I've noticed that now I can only upgrade my weapons 1 time for each category. So, all my weapons have

  Attack = 1
  Absorption = 1
  Comsuption = 1

As opossed to previously

  Attack = 5 Absorption = 5 Comsuption = 5

Question: Are my weapons status really all 1 or are the powerful as  5 status (but without showing this explictly)?


texts: What's the highest skill level one can increase up to before potentially wasting skill points?

texts:
Assuming one has Comprehension perk and with regard to bobbleheads, what's the highest skill level one can have before start wasting skill points?

As in let's say my char has 99 level repairing skill, then I find two books that increase the character's repairing skill by 1 point, 2 if s/he has comprehension perk, then when the books are read, since the skill level can't go higher than 100, skill points spent beforehand gets wasted as s/he could've gotten to 100 from 96-98 skill points with two books read anyway.

What's the lowest skill level one needs to have by leveling before other skill level increments?

texts:
Playing with friends, I built multiple bases across the map in a tactic aimed at constricting resources for everybody else on the map. My base defences were pretty solid on land, but then I got attacked from the water by a pretty large fleet of cruisers.

By the time I responded, I had lost all of my construction yards and a large quantity of other buildings including war factories. This seemed to leave me in the position where my only option was to storm their base with the units I had remaining and all the foot soldiers I could afford.

How can I recover from losing my construction yards?

Should I be maxing out my points expenditure at the start, or do I need to save these for any reason?

Thanks in Advance.

texts: Are my walls too thin to keep creepers from arming?

texts:
Some of my friends and I are building a wall to encompass the entirety of our house and farms, but creepers tend to explode and flood us with zombies in the night, because the walls are made of cobblestone fence (cobblestone wall). I am wondering if they are blowing up because cobblestone walls are slightly thinner than regular blocks (I believe they are still thick enough to prevent coming within 'arming' range of creepers, but I may be wrong), or is it because we are standing on top of the walls and the creepers jump up to us?
Question: Can creepers get close enough to "arm" (start hissing), even if they are on the other side of Cobblestone Wall blocks? The reason this might be possible is because doors and glass panes are too thin, but cobblestone walls might be thick enough.

W = CobbleStone Wall
I = Iron Bars
H = Wooden Doors
O = Log
FRONT VIEW - DOOR SECTION
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
O W W W O W H W O
O W W W O W H W O
The walls are 2 Cobblestone Walls high, but then have Iron Bars on top of them. Note the door, there is a slight gap between the door and the wall, so creepers may be sensing us through this gap

texts: I've recently got my hands on a few tripe rations. I've been told by a few friends that it's a good food source in the early game. Of course, I eat some and promptly begin vomiting. I know that you can polymorph the ration or yourself to make it safe to eat, but I don't really want to waste charges on such a menial thing. So, my question is, when is tripe safe to eat, and/or how can you make it safe without polymorphing?


texts: Can I earn the "Cerberus Escapees"  war asset more than once?

texts:
Completing Mass Effect: Infiltrator once unlocks "1 Cerberus Escapees" according to the Galaxy at War screen, which equates to 40 War Assets inside Mass Effect 3 proper.

Mass Effect: Infiltrator's New Game+ unlocks, but it seems to be equivalent to just picking missions from the level selector, as your progress doesn't seem to save (no "resume/continue playing" option). However, any computers hacked and safes opened remain hacked and opened, and your skill unlocks and weapons carry over.

Skipping right to the end and beating the final boss again doesn't seem to unlock more Cerberus Escapees, but is there a way that I'm missing, or is it just a one-time thing?

texts:
Does "Critical Strike Chance" increases the chance of assassinating?

Since the "Assassination" scene is only shown if you have enough damage for one shotting the human in question, critical strike would raise the total damage of the strike. In theory this would allow you to to assassinate humans with more health points than you would be able to without a critical strike.

Also, would 15x damage with a decent dagger would be enough most of the times (at master difficulty) to assassinate the victim, making the critical strike chance an "overkill" in this situation ?

By "Decent Dagger" I mean : Mehrunes' razor, upgraded glass dagger or above.

Thanks in advance.

texts: What are the requirements to be able to run the Sims 3 with all expansions packs and custom items?

texts:
Below are a list of all The Sims 3 expansion packs in order of release (source):

World Adventures
High-End Loft Stuff
Ambitions
Fast Lane Stuff
Late Night
Outdoor Living Stuff
Generations (May 31, 2011)
Town Life Stuff
Pets
Master Suite
Showtime
Katy Perry's Sweet Treats Stuff
Diesel Stuff
Supernatural
Seasons
70's, 80's & 90's Stuff
University Life

Each packs adds various new items, and adds to the game.

The minimum requirements for the base game are as follows (source):

2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
1.5 GB RAM
128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1
At least 6.1 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB of additional space for custom content and saved games

I've read that with each expansion pack that you install the longer load times will be (depending on your computer). I've looked at the specifications that are recommended, and my computer exceeds them however I'm skeptical. I'd rather not sink a lot of money on something that won't run well.

I figure that if I were to buy The Sims 3 plus all the expansion packs the minimum requirements would probably raise. So what are the minimum requirements to run The Sims 3 with all of the expansion packs installed and possibly some custom content as well?

texts: My Sims are pausing every once in a while and all NPCs seem to have been stuck somewhere?

texts:
In Sims 3, me and my fiancee have settled with doing the change active household style of playing as discussed here Multiple users and households in Sims 3

Anyway, I have a feeling that some of the NPCs and the other Sim is getting stuck somewhere. Let me explain. Say i have Sim-A, and my fiancee uses Sim-B. I am currently playing my sim (Sim-A) and going about with my busy career etc. I do try to call on Sim-B to invite her over etc and she keeps saying sure, but 5 seconds later she says something came up. That seemed possible(even after 2 days of trying to call...my sim is lazy and busy so going to Sim-B's apartment is not really practical at the moment)

So, when I sometimes try to play for tips in front of the movie theater, I see a bunch of NPCs naturally go there and sometimes chat around, do whatever the want, etc. I do notice though that most(if not all) of them are complaining of lack of sleep etc. I noticed this too when playing Sim-A or Sim-B(when playing Sim-A, Sim-B keeps complaining of lack of sleep, and vice versa)

This also happens to most Sim-A's friends. They all complain and I had a suspicion that they're getting stuck somewhere. So the question is, is this a known bug, or is there a way to "debug" this problem without using tedious methods(like logging into every active household and checking them one by one)?

An added note:
Sim-B invited Sim-A to stay the night over since they're both tired(and still complaining of lack of sleep). Sim-B proceeded to sleep on her bed, but Sim-A just stood there, waiting for something to happen(add to the fact that Sim-A was already RELAXING on the bed...he stood up to do nothing!). After an hour of just standing there, I finally got fed up and switched active household over to Sim-A. He certainly wasn't stuck and I had to manually ask him to sleep on the bed(which he did).

I am playing Late night btw and the only other major mod i don't have is fast lane(and i think that's even just a stuff expansion)

I hope someone can shed light into this. I have a feeling Im gonna have to reset all the sims in my town for this to work

texts: Why does the Cars 2 game always start in 3D mode on my PS3?

texts:
I have the Cars 2 video game for the PS3 and it is quite fun.

Unfortunately, every time I start the game, after the video presentation, I get to the main menu and it is automatically in 3D.  I have to navigate to settings and turn 3D mode off.  The game successfully leaves 3D mode, and the screen notes that it is saving settings when I leave the menu.

The next time I turn the game on, it's back in 3D mode.

My TV is an LG 55LW5600, which has 3D capability, and is linked to the PS3.  I do not think I have 3D mode active in the PS3, and I generally do not play in 3D mode.

I would like to fix this so I can let my son have some independence without him calling for daddy to fix the "bad screen" every time.

Anyone else have this problem?  How do we fix it?


texts: Are there any user friendly ways to access screenshots taken on the Switch?

texts:
I have an SD card on my console and have it set to store screenshots on the card.  But it doesn't seem like there's a way to view or otherwise extract those screenshots without having to pull out the SD card and use a reader to access them.  But this is not a desirable option since the Switch has to be turned off before removing the card.  Connecting the Switch to a (Windows) computer doesn't work, it's recognized as a USB device but nothing else.  I can't imagine how it would work if I didn't have an SD card.

How else are we expected to access these screenshots?


texts: How do I make an item where when a player holds it, it runs a slash command or function in a Minecraft bedrock addon?

texts:
I am trying to make a paintbrush to assist me and my friends build a city.  My idea for the paintbrush is when held, it uses raycasting to place blocks where the entity is looking.  I can't use scripting because one of my friends is on Xbox and can't use scripting for some reason.  For the raycasting, I'm using a mcfunction.  How do I run a slash command or function when a player holds a specific item in Minecraft bedrock?  I think it's possible because it says in the Minecraft addon documentation entity events can call slash commands, other entity events, and MoLang.  I'm attaching a picture of that section of the documentation so you can see what I mean.  Here is what the image says in case the image fails to load.

Events
Events consist of three categories, all represented by a string:

Entity events
Slash Commands
MoLang Expressions

In detail:
Entity Events: Server side (behavior packs) only. Currently, we only
support entity events to self, and these take the form "@s event".
These are events declared in the events section of the entity
definition file. For example, in the cat.json,
"minecraft:ageable_grow_up" event causes the kitten to grow up. This
would take the form of "@s minecraft:ageable_grow_up"
Slash commands: Server side (behavior packs) only. Any slash command
can be invoked, such as /particle minecraft:example_smoke_puff ~ ~ ~. The assumed entity for the slash command is the invoking entity,
so this particular slash command will spawn a smoke puff effect at the
entity's location.
MoLang Expressions: This executes a MoLang expression. The primary
usage is to set MoLang variables that can be used later. For example,
a state transition might be looking at a particluar MoLang variable,
and this expression could change that variable. A particle effect on
the entity might change color due to MoLang variables that the effect
uses for color tints. An animation to move an arm might use a MoLang
variable that was set by an animation event.
// entity event (behavior packs only), put the particular event name`
after the @s "@s minecraft:entity_event"

// slash command (behavior packs only), can be any server-side slash
command // is invoked from the entity, so a teleport, for example,
will teleport the entity by default "/tell @a this is a message"`

// MoLang Expressions, executes a molang expression on the entity
"variable.something_to_set = 3;"

Am I misunderstanding?  If not, how do I do this?  If any of this is unclear to you please ask questions in the comments.  Thanks!

texts: How does scoring work in Танкодром (Tank Training)?

texts:
In a report by Anjel Van Slyke and Connal Hughes about the Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines they've got a video of Танкодром (Tankodrom / Tank Training) which is some kind of open-field magnet-driven tank arcade game.

They couldn't figure out how it was scored though, and watching the video I can't either. Shooting tanks seemed to have random effects and driving through one area inexplicably wrapped around the score counter.

How does aiming and scoring work in this game?

I found the Old Man's diary in the house near the cooking pot.

There's a recipe which will give you cold resistance. He says it uses raw meat, a spicy pepper and some other ingredient he can't remember.

What is the third ingredient?

OK, so I looked up the answer.

   A Hyrule Bass caught in the lake West of the Temple of Time is what you need.

My question now is: How would I have known that on my own? I only found 3 peppers so I wouldn't have been able to experiment much with the ingredients I had. And it's unlikely I would've found that any time soon.

Is there any other hint that points you toward the third ingredient?


texts: What determines whether the target shoots back at an attacking aircraft?

texts:
Air combat, unfortunately, is one of the most obscure topics in the Civilopedia - that is, everything is explained but severely lacking in details.

In particular, I've noticed that when using the air strike mission, sometimes the attacked target will shoot back and sometimes it won't. I'm talking about regular shooting back, not the special attacks of anti-air units (such as destroyers) or interceptions by defending aircraft.

When I attack a unit or a city it will sometimes shoot back and sometimes not. Does anyone know the rules behind this? It doesn't seem to be entirely random, but I could not find any truly consistent behavior. I'm going to post an answer with what I know so far, but I would really like to see something more complete.

texts: Does creating a second potion with Sinderion's Serendipity give me twice the XP?

texts:
I reached Blackreach last night, and I found the first Crimson Nirnroot - apparently this is part of a quest that will give me a particular perk if I can find 30 of these Crimson Nirnroots.  The perk gives me a 25% chance to create two of a given potion when I mix ingredients.

I'm not really interested in duplicate potions (I have far too many potions and ingredients already), but it would be helpful for raising levels if I got twice the Alchemy experience when this ability fires and I create 2 potions instead of 1.  Is this the case?  Or do I gain only the experience for creating the first potion?

texts: What value is there in keeping multiples of the same mirage?

texts:
I have been playing a while now and have tried my best to imprism every mirage I've found. However this has lead me to have multiple mirages which are transfigurations of existing mirages. Such as Chocochick and Black Chocochick.

Not quite understanding transfigurations, I have levelled them all individually. Today I discovered that actually Black Chocochick is a transfig of Chocochick. This means that I can change my existing Chocochick into a Black Chocochick as and when I want, and keep all it's existing abilities.

I have similar situation with Floating Eye, Arhiman and Blood Eye. These are all transfigs of the same mirage, but now I have three levelled versions of the same mirage, all able to transfig between these forms.

The obvious bonus is if I want to use the same mirage in both Lann and Reynn's stacks, I can, because I have multiple copies. However, is there any value to having multiple copies? My Prism Case only stores 150 prisms, so there must be a limitation.


texts: How long is a typical play session of Artemis: Spaceship Bridge Simulator?

texts:
I'm looking to set up and play Artemis during a gaming event and would like to know what a typical play time is like.

People will be coming and going during the event, and it would be nice to let people know when they can get in on the action.

I've not played the game at all and have no idea if its mission based, and each mission has its own specific amount of time required to complete, or if its just open ended and you slowly make your way through a story.

Any info about how the amount of time it takes to play from people that have played it before would be wonderful.

texts: Change a scoreboard objective is a player gets within proximity of an entity?

texts:
I've been playing with command blocks lately, and I'm playing around with one of those "server mods in vanilla" type mechanisms. Basically, I've got a clock set up that makes players turn invisible when they're sneaking (I'm building this in 1.9, using the new repeating/chained blocks). That sequence looks like this:

Run this to initialize:

/scoreboard objectives add sneaking stat.sneakOneCm

Run these in sequence every tick:

/effect @a[score_sneaking_min=1] minecraft:invisibility 1 0 true
/scoreboard players reset @a[score_sneaking_min=1] sneaking

The thing is, I want to make it so that if a player gets too close to another player or hostile mob, they become exposed, preventing them from getting the invisibility effect. I got as far as modifying the above command to check a scoreboard objective:

/effect @a[score_sneaking_min=1,score_tooClose=0] minecraft:invisibility 1 0 true

But I don't really know how I would test for that. I thought maybe something like /execute @a ~ ~ ~ testfor (etc.) but then I wouldn't be able to do anything with the result of the test, because it's being executed on behalf of something that doesn't care. I'm just not sure what the right train of thought here is.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

texts: When is the Evade chance calculated for enemy ships?

texts:
When firing a multi-shot weapon in FTL: Faster than Light, such as the Burst Laser Mk II, Each shot has a separate chance to hit or miss it's target.

Say I'm firing at an Engine Bay on an Automated Scout with no shields. For the purposes of this example, lets say that the ship's current evade chance is 20%, and the Engine Bay is fully powered and has 2 hitpoints.

I fire my lazor Burst Laser Mk II, and the first shot hits the Engine, taking one hitpoint and dropping the Evade chance to 15%. Are the subsequent shots (that the weapon fired before the Evade chance dropped) calculated against the original 20% chance, or the new 15% chance? When does the enemy ship's evade chance get calculated?


texts: Is it possible to assign commanders during a siege or battle?

texts: Should I play a "build" of a character my first time through in Diablo 2?

texts:
I've never played Diablo 2 all the way through before, so I decided to install it on a netbook and start playing it. I'm not an expert when it comes to action role playing games.  I've only played Diablo, Diablo 2, and Torchlight for short periods of time. I only expect to be able to put in 3-4 hours a week due to other time commitments.

If it helps in making the decision, I'm playing a Paladin (I tend to play a mixed magic/strength character in most games), and I'm playing solo.

Should I try to follow a character build guide or just play through and figure things out as I go?

I know the expansion is brand new; but, any help would be appreciated.

texts: I've got my favorite character set as party's "lead" character (the first one in the menu, and the one shown on screen when walking around the map).

Is the lead character purely a cosmetic choice, or is that character targeted more often than the others?

texts: What parts/tuning should I be using for off road cars?

texts:
In Forza Horizon 2, you spend quite a bit of time off-roading, especially in free-roam.

If I wanted to build a purely offroad car what should I go after. My main questions are in the tires, suspension, and weight aspects. As well as tuning these parts to be the most effective.

So far the only thing I know I need is AWD and an engine with enough torque for climbing.

Tires come in, at most, 4 options: stock, street, sport, and race. None of them really point towards "off-road" or even "rally".

Suspension again uses those 4 options, but it affects my ride height and stiffness. Do I want the low ride height and stiffness of Race? or get race then tune it to be "correct"

Weight is pretty binary question, do I want to be lighter or heavier.

I'm looking for the best control and acceleration. Speed isn't super important.

texts: Is there any reason not to play support Maokai in Season 6?

texts:
In season 3, I played Maokai as a support, and found that this was not a bad idea.
Generally it only works well when the enemy ADC was a "poke" type (e.g. Ezreal or Corki). Maokai's passive gives him a lot of sustain, he has some poke, a slow, damage reduction, and a snare.

But is there any reason not to play him as support now? Players criticize me for picking a "troll" pick although I see great potential in him.  What makes him different from other supports?

Is there a tool that does this already? I looked at astats but it doesn't seem to provide anything like this -- at least not on the surface.


texts: Why is my Hero (not Leader) surviving when s/he falls in battle and I win the battle?

texts: I am playing Age of Wonders 3 for the first time and I am in normal difficulty on the second mission, Promised Lands, of the campaign. I'm taking my time with it and trying to understand all the minutiae involved and one phenomenon I can't seem to find an explanation for is really confusing me. When I fight a battle involving one of my Heros (Sundren, Nomlik or Groshak) if the Hero dies on the tactical map but I win the combat they don't die, they just show back up on the strategic map as if they didn't die. My normal units die as normal and if my leader (Reskar) falls he needs to take the normal amount of turns to respawn, but my Hero's never die. Any explanation?

With the release of FIFA 14, I'll return to the PS3 and leave the PC version behind. As an active FIFA 13 player I gained access to the FUT14 PC Web App. I've made some good trades and got a couple of decent players.

Tomorrow I'll start playing UT on PS3 and I'm asking myself if there is any option to select a platform (PC or PS3) in EA's web application. Somebody told me that the web app automatically redirects to the last active platform - so, as I don't have a PC version of FIFA 14, I'll lose access to my PC squad. Can somebody confirm this? If I really will lose access without the game, I'd better give away my team.


texts: How do you effectively fight when armatized with a wind seraph?

texts:
I've gotten pretty far in the game, and gotten pretty good at fighting as Sorey, and when fighting while armatized as fire, water, or earth. I understand their strengths and weaknesses.

However, when armatized with a wind seraph, it honestly feels like it's worse than just letting the wind seraph AI do its thing alone, as far as damage output is concerned. I use it only to heal, then pop back out into normal form to continue fighting. I feel like I'm missing something.

The seraphic artes in wind form are awkward to use. The base one doesn't even do damage, and the next two require you to be in very, very close range (which means they usually get interrupted, even when comboing into them to speed up the cast time) and do less damage than any of the 3 other elemental seraphic artes.

The hidden artes in wind form are also seemingly inferior to other elemental counterparts. There isn't much AoE, and what AoE exists requires the enemies to be very close, which is difficult because enemies don't always stand still. I find myself just dancing around uselessly most of the time I'm armatized as wind.

How can I effectively use this form in combat? Is it actually just weaker than the others? Does it fill some niche I haven't encountered or realized?

texts: Minecraft Bandwidth Usage - What and Why

texts:
This isnt the typical Minecraft bandwidth question. Im more wanting to know WHY the usage is so high, even on vanilla.

By default just starting out, MC stabilizes to around 3-6KBps transfer rates. Thats fine. I so much as cut down a tree and build a 10x10 house out of the wood planks, this shoots up to and stabilizes around 32-42KBps.

Id like to know WHY this is happening. What on earth is needing updates so constantly that it cant send a "do you still exist?" "yes I do" exchange a few times a second for 1000x coords and what ID it contains, compress that and send it in a less than 5KB exchange? Why the constant 40KB exchanges? Im really curious because Im on a metered connection and this is killing my agility to play much with my friends. Also, when I leave these areas far enough the usage goes back down to 3-5. There are no machines. Just planks.

texts: How do I kill a drone operator by blowing up their drone?

texts:
One of the Assault Challenges in Splinter Cell Blacklist is to do the following:

Backfire
Kill 2 drone operators by blowing up their drones.

Should sound simple right?  Well... drone operators are heavily armored with a helmet.  Heavily armored enemies are immune to explosions (as far as I can tell).  An explosion merely knocks them off their feet and they just get back up again.  Anyone see the problem here?
How the heck am I supposed to kill these guys with one of their drones?
It's frustrating enough trying to find one of them easily accessible. I'm even going using Rookie difficulty just to make my job easier.  And still, even when I shoot the one he drops right at his feet, he never dies...  Knocking his helmet off doesn't seem to make a difference either, he just flies away further than usual.  One managed to die this way but it didn't even count... what gives?


texts: Minimum safe spacing between lava and flamable materials?

texts:
It seems that containing lava in solid glass, stone and iron blocks may not be sufficient to prevent wool from burning, even if the lava is completely encased.

Are solid blocks more effective than airspace, or not?
If so, Does it matter whether the corner block is filled in?
What are the exact rules on distance that I need, and how can I prevent flammable blocks from being eliminated by nearby lava?
Bonus: Does a flowing lava block behave differently than a lava source block when it comes to fire creation?

My friend and I would like to run through the storyline together, as well as complete some Spec Ops missions (especially the 2-player ones). However, unlike its console counterpart, Modern Warfare 2 offers no splitscreen capabilities to PC players.

texts: Need help with keeping Battlefield profile from PS3 and moving to PS4 With region change

texts:
OK, so I realize this is kinda complicated but I haven't had any answers from other various forums so I'm trying it again here.

I had a PS3 that I purchased in the USA some years ago. I moved a few years later to Europe and bought the vanilla Battlefield 4 disc in EU game store, worked fine in my US PS3. I played for a couple years, unlocked weapons, upgrades, etc. and really loved the online play. I sold my old PS3 and games for credit at a game shop and bought a new PS4 here in EU zone recently. I know I need PS Plus to play online on the PS4 now, but I haven't done it yet until I know exactly what my options are.

I want to buy the Battlefield 4 Premium with all DLC, maps for online play, etc. AND use my same profile from my PS3 BF4 days with all unlocks, upgrades, etc. The only game store in my area doesn't have the BF4 Premium disc for PS4, just the basic game. Guy told me I can buy the vanilla BF4 for PS4 from them, buy PS Plus membership for whatever length of time, then purchase the DLC for BF4 from the PS Store. BUT... he said I will need to create a new PSN Account with an EU Region country (maybe UK for English speaking options, etc.) and then he said I'll need to start completely from beginning with BF4 at Level One, that I will lose all unlocks/upgrades, etc from my old profile on PS3, as THIS IS the only option if I want to play BF4 Premium on PS4.

Anyone know the real deal on this advice? Can I keep my BF4 Profile on an EU PS4, purchase DLC from PS Store, purchase PS Plus and be able to play the Premium maps?

Thank you for any help!!

In addition to that, when the lottery does roll over to the next drawing period, do you have to leave the area and come back before you'll be able to check the winning numbers, or can you just check the sign again and it'll say the winning numbers for the one you entered, even if you haven't left the screen since buying the tickets?

Various attempts and workarounds I've tried:

Gate-related

Walked or sprinted through the gate and closed it
Replayed and closed the gate immediately after learning Whirlwind

System-related

Current on all patches (as of March 2, 2012)
Deleted character and related Skyrim files in case any files were corrupt
Reloaded multiple times before and after returning the horn

Additional (frustration-driven) attempts

Attacked the Greybeards, left the area, and snuck until forgotten
Completed side quests before returning
Slept and tried multiple times (16 or so)

Despite what I try, replaying up to the same spot gives me the same bug.

Does anyone know of a workaround aside from the closing the gate or reloading an earlier manual or autosave game?

I am playing on Xbox 360.

texts: When do Phyta fail at being fruitful and multiplying?

texts:
In Waking Mars, the two mobile species (Phyta and Cycots) are an important part of the Martian lifecycle. Their main purpose, of course, is to be eaten like the mobile snacks they ar-- er, I mean, provide nutrients for other species as part of the great Circle Of Life. One by-product of the Circle Of Life is Compost, which you can use to fertilize soil, improve the life growing in said soil, and increase the Biomass in the cavern. Acquiring large amounts of Compost involves leading many Phyta or Cycots to the dinner table of a Larian.

Since this sort of activity leads to a dearth of Phyta, you breed more Phyta by giving them a seed. This makes the Phyta produce some sort of Phyta-cocoon, and after 10 seconds or so, a new Phyta pops out.

The problem I'm running into is that sometimes, the cocoon doesn't pop out a new Phyta - the cocoon just decays, leaving me with nothing to stuff down the ravening maws of other Martian life. (I'm seeing this particularly in caverns that have maxed out their Biomass at level 5.)

Why aren't the Phyta reproducing when I feed them, and how can I make them start breeding again?


texts: How to check how many milliseconds my server is behind?

texts:
I usually get a warning when the server starts running 3-4 sec behind and I had to kill most of the livestock in order to reduce the lag, but I'm curious if there is a server command to check how many ticks/ms behind is the server?

Cheers

Do the items eventually decay?

texts: How can I prevent mobs from spawning in unlit places?

texts:
In vanilla minecraft mobs don't spawn if the light level of the block is 9 or above. However, I often don't want to fully lit all my structures. I might want a courtyard or a cellar that isn't fully lit. Also controllable light systems with redstone are a lot of fun to make, but I can never turn the lights off in fear of spawning mobs.

Is there a mod or another solution to have both unlit places and no mobs around? Maybe some kind of block that prevents mobs from spawning within a radius.

Cannot normally access minecraft.net. I have to use freemybrowser vpn, and it works fine.
When i open up my Minecraft launcher, i cannot connect to the authentication servers. I am not sure if a firewall is blocking, but I think it is. I am using my university computer.

I have tried hamachi and researched other stuff on the web, but I can't find anything that works. I thought about downloading minecraft files on my windows computer (using a mac bootcamp) and transferrin it onto my usb and then playing on my unviersity comp, but i'm not sure that will work.
