texts: How is critical damage from Statikk Shiv classified?

texts: A new Season 3 item, Statikk Shiv, deals magic damage that can critically strike.  Does this critical strike get counted in with regular critical strikes on the end-game stats screen?  Or is it just considered magic damage?

texts:
I made a bit of a mistake, I think, with my Skyrim character; I boosted my MP at the expense of my HP, repeatedly, and now I find myself at level 30 and so flimsy that many magic-tossing opponents essentially 1-shot kill me.

I'd like some advice on how to fix myself here; I'm willing to grind a bit to get it done, but I'm not loaded with spare time and would like to get back in shape and back to the fun part of the game sort of quickly.

Basically, any tips for jacking up my durability would be awesome.

edit

To provide more context:

I'm playing on the 360; as far as I know, this precludes console tweaks.
My character is a bit of a mishmash; sword-mage, mainly. I'm not loaded with crafting, except that I'm a decent alchemist.


texts: How to disengage from a Pokemon I don't feel is worth capturing?

texts:
Tonight I was trying to capture a Golbat. After 11 hits, it kept breaking free. I decided throwing anymore balls was pointless. I felt angry about getting ripped-off. It seemed this Golbat was designed to make we waste balls. 11 hits and I couldn't catch it! 15 throws and it would not go away! Stubbornly, I kept throwing balls until I just decided to quit. But, the only way I could disengage was to re-boot the app.

Is there an in-game way to disengage from a Pokemon you are throwing balls at?

texts:
About around the time of the Portal 2 Announcement ARG, to the best of my knowledge it had become well established that Cave Johnson was Chell's father (with the latter being abducted by GLaDOS on Bring your Daughter to Work Day).

However, many months later, with the release of Portal 2, all such references seem to have disappeared, and I can no longer find any proof of (what I thought) was well-established fact. Can anyone provide any canonical evidence that Chell is Cave Johnson's Daughter?

Specifically, I am wondering if, during the course of the two pre-release ARGs for Portal 2 (one for the announcement, the other just before launch) Cave was officially credited anywhere with specifically being Chell's father.

P.S. Please do not bring discussions of Caroline into this question, as I am chiefly concerned with information from the ARGs, and not Portal 2.

texts: Minecraft Blockdata. Cannot Put A Specific Spawn Egg in A Chest (Minecraft 1.10.2)

texts:
I'm trying to put a specific spawn egg in a chest using blockdata for a project I'm doing. I'm trying to put a blaze spawn egg with enchants, and a custom name. I know the data value for a blaze is 61, however when I put this command in and press the button the chest has a white spawn egg that spawns nothing. Anyone know how to fix this?

Here's my command:

texts: Associate offline profile with existing Live profile

texts:
I've had an xbox for ages racking up playtime on a variety of games. I never played online, so I left it as a plain local profile (with the intention of associating it with my LiveID as soon as I needed to).

Now, I'm primarily a PC gamer, and due to certain DRM systems (I'm looking at you GFWL) I've had to create a Live profile previously to register cd-keys.
Now this is where the issues start.

I want to associate the xbox profile with my existing Live account, so all the offline xbox data is alongside the online pc data.
Turns out to make an offline account online you have to associate it with a brand new account! Id est, you can already have a LiveID, but if it has an XboxLive account, you're screwed if you want to use that ID.

This would mean I would need to keep track of two accounts. One with all the PC cd-keys associated with it, the other being a portable xbox profile.

Is there any way to either;

move achievements, et cetera, from a local account to any other account, or
move pc game registrations to a new account

I concede it'd be impossible to have multiple XboxLive accounts associated with a single LiveID, but I have heard (who knows how true it was) you can disassociate an Xbox account from a LiveID. So if either of the above are possible I should be able to consolidate the various profiles under the one [original] LiveID.

What is the maximum amount of caps I can generate per settlement per day?
What is the maximum amount of caps I can generate per settler assigned to Trading Posts?

Additionally: Does anyone knows how much caps can be stored before Trading Posts generate no more?

texts: How do I throw a boomerang or spear in Breath of the Wild?

texts:
I've recently come into possession of a lovely boomerang.

Its description says something about how wonderfully it returns to one when thrown, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to throw it.
It's in the melee weapons part of the inventory, and functions like one: when you press Y, you just swing it like a stick.
The same is true of spears: some of their descriptions go on about how well weighted they are for throwing... but there doesn't seem to be any way to throw em.
Am I missing something?

NFS:W, after you painstakingly reach level 5, offers you a whooping choice of three performance upgrade packs: Lustra, React and Glint.

As much as I'd rather get a new ride -- something that was far easier in NFS:MW -- I'll have to consider getting a package instead (mainly for pursuit purposes).

Which one exactly? Is there any gameplay difference at all? They all cost the same and all upgrade car stats by the same -- this fake choice kind of puzzles me.

Should I be overtaking the structures? They are costing me army points and I don't even know how beneficial they are to the overall battle.

Better yet, if someone can point me in the direction of a walk through so I can relive it vicariously that would be awesome.


texts: Mouse Acceleration in Deus Ex: Human Revolution

texts:
Is there a way to enable non-linear mouse acceleration in Deus Ex: Human Revolution?

I'm asking about a non-linear translation of physical mouse movement speed to angular speed of the in-game view. This type of translation feels very natural to me, as it's implemented in many desktop operating systems and in most FPS games I've played.

I don't know if acceleration is the right term for this, but I remember Windows' mouse control panel calling it that way in some older versions of Windows. In Window 7 it's called enhance pointer precision and is enabled by default. It's called pointer ballistics by Microsoft and is described in this article.

I can't find any option controlling this in the game's menu or it's setup utility (launched from Steam by choosing Setup Deus Ex: Human Revolution after double clicking the game in the game library). Without this option, I find aiming very hard because if I configure the mouse sensitivity to get acceptable aiming precision, making a 180-degree-turn is impossible without either moving my wrist or lifting the mouse and moving it in the reverse direction.


texts: How does protecting trade work in Conquest of Paradise?

texts:
In my current game, I'm playing as Bohemia and I own colonial provinces in North America. Until the recent patch 1.4, released together with Conquest of Paradise, I used light ships to “protect trade” in Chesapeake Bay.

But after the patch, my colonies were converted to separate colonial nations. Now, when my fleet is in Europe, I can't even select the option to protect trade in Chesapeake Bay. But when I move my fleet there, I can now select that option, but it deselects itself after one day. Note that I also have a trader in Chesapeake Bay.

Even more confusing is the new Western Europe trade node: it behaves the same as Chesapeake Bay to me, but apparently some AI countries managed to have their fleets there (they are listed in the node screen).

So, my question is, can I send my ships to protect trade in trade nodes where I only have colonies or in the Western Europe trade node, which doesn't have any provinces at all? If I can do that, how?

(I didn't actually have the Conquest of Paradise DLC, these changes are from the 1.4 patch.)


texts:
When I was around 10-11, I remember playing FFIX shortly after it came out and reaching Necron. However, this was way before I learned what Abilities were and how they were learned. Basically, the few abilities I had learned with my characters are the ones I "accidentally" learned by using some weapons I deemed looked nice.

Of course, Necron always one-shot killed me, so there was no way for me to beat him. This is where I got the phobia from playing FFIX, knowing I will never beat Necron.

After many years of not playing FFIX, I started again, much older than the kid I used to be. And this time grasping Abilities was a piece of cake. I know how they are obtained and what needs to be done.

My question now is, how much do I have to grind (in terms of levels and abilities) and what Abilities do I need to beat him?

What do you think would be the lower limit (the least I would need) for beating him? And what would be the optimal point to reach? My friend played until the characters in the party were around level 50-70.


texts:
Sakura Clicker is a free game on Steam with paid DLC. You click on enemies until they die, yielding gold. You can hire increasingly expensive allies as well as upgrade them, which attack automatically.

I have not found any resources online which explain the numbers involved, which are:

Gold per enemy slain per L/SL
Initial cost and damage  of i-th ally
Cost and damage of k-th upgrade of i-th ally

(A short reminder: An opponent is defined by its HP only. Bosses are stronger and have a 30 second time limit. Levels increase from 1, 2, ... infinitely with each consisting of 5 sub-levels (e.g. 1-1, 1-2, ... 1-5, 2-1, ... 27-5, ...33-3...), and the higher level and sub-level (L/SL) are, the more HP enemies have.)

I believe the formulas are pretty simple. For instance, I believe from observation that the damage of the i-th ally at k-th level is basedamage(i) * 1.1^k.

Any bonuses gained from special abilities are of no particular interest. They are very easy to calculate and incorporate anyway.


texts: I am currently without regular, sustained, access to a computer. This is forcing me to use my PS3 much like one, namely for surfing the interweb. I'm also a regular on Spacebattles, which some of you may know of. Today, while trying to access Spacebattles I received the Error 80710092. Now, being an individual with access to Google I proceeded to look it up. Nearly every result is invalid for my problem, relating directly to loss of connection to PSN. I have connection to PSN and I have internet, clearly. What I don't have is access to Spacebattles. Does anyone know why I'm getting this very peculiar error, in particular, how I can fix it?

texts: Why is Tryndamere not seen in competitive play?

texts:
It seems as though Tryndamere would make an excellent top lane champion or jungler.  The "requirements" for a top lane champion in the current metagame are:

Sustain: Tryndamere has a heal.
Getaway: He has a slow to prevent chases and his whirlwind allows him to dash away, even through minions or other champions.  Oh, and his ultimate makes him unkillable.
Tankiness: He has this.  And again, his ultimate.

The same goes for jungling, where his getaway techniques would serve as his chasing mechanisms.

It seems to me that he has everything you could possibly want in a top laner or a jungler.  What am I missing?  Why is he never used?


texts: Does Felyne Temper affect arrows as did in classic games?

texts:
In classic games, Felyne Temper is known to increase damage of not only bowgun bullets but also bow arrows, while Felyne Sharpshooter didn't affect normal shots. (For those who are wondering, Felyne Temper is a random meal skill which boosts bowgun damage in some amount, and Felyne Sharpshooter is a fixed meal skill which affects Normal Ammo of a bowgun.)

However, in this series, Felyne Sharpshooter's text has changed that it also affects normal shots of a bow. My question is then, does Felyne Temper affect bow's arrows as it did in series up to Generations Ultimate?


texts: Where does The Phantom Pain store its save-game data on PC?

texts: I would like to create a backup of my save game data. I know the game has no manual save system (ugh), and it also has several save-game-breaking bugs that I'm aware of. With only the one save game slot, encountering one of those bugs could mean losing dozens of hours of game progress. I imagine the game must be storing the save-game data in some specific location or file, something I can make a copy of periodically so that if my save file does become corrupted, I don't lose too much. Where is it, if it exists?

texts: Prevent mob spawners from spawning nether hostile mobs

texts:
I am playing Skyblock on Spigot server. The nether part of the island has a pillar of Nether bricks with all kinds of Nether monster spawners on top of it. There's so many that walking near them without invisibility potion means most likely instant death from fire and Wither effect, not counting the monster damage.

I tried to cover the area in non-solid blocks (half slabs) but the mobs keep spawning as normal. Looking up on the wiki, I found:

  Except for spawning on a solid block, all of the usual requirements for spawning must be met.

Therefore can I prevent spawning of

Magma cube
Skeleton
Wither Skeleton
Blaze

without just placing material all over the area?

texts: how to recover in lane from a bad bot lane start

texts:
I play vayne as adc (silver, normal), so I already have a weak early game, but I do fine. Some games (more than I would like) the enemy gets a jump start with 2-3 even more kills ahead early. After that the lane is just lost. Can't farm (small aa range, no clear wave spells). The enemy lane just snowballs,  and it feels like there is nothing I can do.

What are some tips to recover in lane? And when the laning pahse is over should i go with the team to where the fights are or go where there is free farm?


texts:
Everyone says Irelia is a counter to Jayce but i've played the matchup 3 times, twice as Irelia, once as Jayce and everytime Jayce came out ahead easily.

Yes, at level 6 Irelia on even gold can go 1v1 against Jayce... but every game Jayce was already far ahead at that point.

The two times i played as Irelia, Jayce combo'd me at level 2 with Cannon Q, Hammer Q, Hammer E for almost half my health and then forced me back under tower with his Cannon Q at which point i lost a ton of CS since every time i tried to get a minion Jayce shot me for more than my health gain from W and every time i tried to attack him directly i got hit by Hammer QWE and was lucky to get out alive.

The first time i started with Regrowth Pendant + Potion, the second time with Cloth Armor + 5 potions, didn't make any difference.

At level 6 i burst him with my ult and forced him out of lane for a short time but at that point i was already 30cs behind and when he came back with new items he completely trashed me without me even having a chance to run away.

When i played Jayce against Irelia it was basically the same situation with me beating her at every stage and when she hit 6 i was already snowballing hard and beat her 1v1 with 75% health remaining.

I mostly follow this guide, going QWE and then maxing W->Q->E:
http://www.lolpro.com/guides/irelia/74-irelia-guide-top-lane

My opponents seem to be going QEW and then maxing E->Q->W

What is the point i am missing?
It must be something very simple and i'm just too blind to see the obvious but i just can't see Irelia winning this matchup.

texts: What weapons/tactics are suitable for high-level Cruisers?

texts:
Now that I have my big, slow-moving, tank of a cruiser - four weapon slots fore and aft - what are good weapons and tactics to use against ships that are nimbler than I am? (Meaning, pretty much everyone).

Currently, I'm running the following (firing arcs in parens):
Fore - 2 Cannons (180), 1 Beam Array (250), 1 Torpedo (90)
Aft - 2 Beam Array (250), 2 Torpedo (90)

Tactically, this lets me get a good volley away as I approach. Once we get into the turning death-spiral, I can generally keep the enemy ship in the forward quarter (where all the beams and the cannons can fire). After the shields drop (either mine or theirs), I can turn away and fire the aft torpedos at their weak/downed shield.

What I'm disliking about this tactic is that it tends to focus all the incoming fire on the inside shield (where my target is) and to the aft (where everyone else can play follow-the-leader). Is there a better tactic for the large cruisers?

As far as I can tell, there's no way to adjust my keybinds or options like screen resolution and the like without actually being in a game. The options screen that you get from opening the launcher options only allows you to adjust the volume, help tooltips, etc. I can't adjust the advanced settings without being inside of a game.

I don't want to join one and then sit there futzing with options while my team is busy. Is there some sort of hidden settings button in the launcher...somewhere... that I'm missing? Is it possible to open a sort of dummy-game without penalty just to mess with my settings? Or am I stuck trying to adjust these on the fly in AI/PvP games?

I'm using Boot Camp to run Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro. I'd like to play Windows only games but my Windows install only has 20GB of space.

I installed Steam and my Steam games on my Mac OSX drive using MacDrive. When I try to run any game it says that it can't run SteamService.exe.

I have no idea what's causing this. Any help?


texts: Ace Combat Assault Horizon Fails to Start

texts: I can't even start up my AC:AH game. It comes up with a message: "Failed to create Direct3d or games for Windows Live", something like that. I bought the game in store off a disc, and I have tried re-installing and repairing it. FYI, the computer I am running it on does not have a permanent internet connection, but I have tried installing it with internet.


texts: Can the "Bolt of Mass Destruction" destroy walls?

texts: I recently shot a Bolt of Mass Destruction into a monster zoo (where else?), and in addition to all of the fire and blood everywhere, the walls next to the door disappeared (and monsters started walking through the gaps).

texts:
I recently purchased Rock Band 3 and would like to upgrade my old Rock Band 1 drums.  Is there any difference between the base drum kit for RB2 and RB3?

I know RB3 has a new cymbal kit but I cannot find any information on whether inprovements have been made to the core.  It would be cheaper for me to buy used RB2 drums and the RB3 cymbals so I want to know how viable this route is.

Will they work on full pro mode in RB3?


texts: Will I regain resources by deconstructing my base?

texts: Mostly for more storage, I created a temporary base close to my rescue pod. It's lined with lockers and a fabricator, but before I add on to it anymore, using up all my titanium, if I deconstruct the base parts (hatch, platform, tube sections, etc) will I get the resources back? I don't have any extra pieces to test this on yet, and hoping to get an answer without potentially wasting more resources.


texts: Are points given for leveling random or always the same?

texts: So, would Ogden (or whoever else) always have the same stats at level 15 each play through? Or would he sometimes have greater strength, but less defense or something? And more importantly, does he always get the same spells at the same level? I know it's the same order, but does the level he gains the spell vary? Or will he always get blastios at (14 I think?) the same level?

Is there anywhere in the UI while out on an expedition that I can see my active bounties, or do I need to go back to town / remember what they are?

texts:
I started one of my games and noticed it was a bit choppy.. the game looked a bit too good to be true so I checked the settings and it was running in 4k. I run all my games in 1080p because 4k on max settings usually gets around 35-40fps. I noticed my desktop resolution was also set to 4k. I went into the settings and changed my resolution to 1080p, but when I changed it to 1080p, the FPS was capped to 30 and I couldn't change it. I changed it to 4k and I could run it on 60fps. But not 1080p somehow. I thought maybe its because I was trying out DSR a few days ago, but I went into the Nvidia control panel and reset it. No effect. still capped at 30FPS. I'm on a GTX1660 SUPER, and using a 4k TV. All my drivers are up to date according to GForce Experience. I just got this PC and everything is brand new.
Windows itself caps to 30 FPS, not just games.
I just want to run windows in 1080p60FPS


texts: What are the new guns in the Torgue DLC?

texts:
I'm vaguely familiar with the Torgue legendaries from the main game (Flakker, Nukem and such) but casually glancing at the legendaries in the Torgue vending machines I've never quite noticed which are the new ones. Unlike the Pirate's Booty DLC the new weapons seem to blend in with the old one (new guns were either pink or "cursed" blue guns with little in between)

So far I've found an Expansive Kitten and Moxxie's Slow Hand (a quest reward and a rare drop IIRC) but I'm not sure what the other new guns are. A google search doesn't really yield helpful results.

So what are the new guns in Mister Torgue's Campaign of Carnage?


texts:
I finally made it through an FTL game to sector 8 (on easy mode, of course), whereupon I found that everything changed.

Now I start at the right side, and there's a flagship on the left, and nodes are getting picked off one-by-one.  I also was given some repair nodes, but apparently with no time to get to them before the flagship reached my base.  (Later I discovered that the flagship doesn't move one node per turn, but only one node per two or three(?) turns.)  Furthermore, I lost the game when the rebels reached my base even though the flagship was still a couple of nodes away.

How does sector 8 work?  How fast does the flagship move?  What conditions cause me to lose the game without getting blown up?  (I realize this is more than one question, but I'm looking for an overall understanding of how sector 8 is supposed to work.)


texts: Does the Seowon's 4 science count as an adjacency bonus?

texts:
The Campus district receives science adjacency bonuses for mountains, other districts, and rainforests.

Instead, the Seowon, Korea's replacement, receives base 4 science, -1 for each adjacent district, and +1 for each adjacent Government Plaza. Do any of these count as an adjacency bonus with respect to things that boost science adjacency bonuses?

Natural Philosophy policy: +100% Campus science adjacency
Heartbeat of Steam dedication: Campus science adjacency provides production


texts: Can you put diamond armor on skeletons via command using Pocket Edition?

texts:
I wanted to try and experiment with long jumps and bow spleef using arrows, but for that, I need skeletons.
I want to make sure that they don't take much damage with their bows and will remain with Flame enchanted bows and diamond armor
I found this question that would've helped me. But since I'm using Pocket Edition (Bedrock Mobile), it doesn't work.
Reasons?:

IDs on items doesn't actually exist in PE, only in Java.
The JSON line doesn't work because of the spacing. The formula of the /summon command is /summon Entity x y z and it doesn't give the Equipment form (probably because it is only supported in Java Edition).
Even if replacing the IDs by the supported names of the items from the /give command (an example would be diamond_helmet), it won't work.

Is there a way how I can do it in Pocket Edition using a command?


texts: What do the enemy levels in Skyrim mean?

texts:
In Skyrim the player's character levels up and the player's gear offers varying levels of protection/damage, and in many instances the spells and the magic weapons refer to stuff like "will turn all enemies level 12 or lower etc. etc"

But from everything I can see, there is no way to know what an enemy's level is, at any point! So how do I know what any of these numbers mean?  I understand that I can just use trial and error, and I guess the argument can be made that this makes it more "realistic" but then why mix and match these metaphors.

texts: What are the specific effects of hidden armor bonuses in Minecraft?

texts:
There are four possible general armor enchantments available in Minecraft v1.6.x:

Protection
Fire Protection
Blast Protection
Projectile Protection

As discussed elsewhere, stacking different enchantment levels of these on different pieces of armor can maximize the damage reduction from different damage sources (general, fire, explosions, arrows, etc.).  However, wiki sources also mention that Fire Protection additionally reduces the time spent aflame, and Blast Protection reduces the knockback from explosions.

Does Projectile Protection reduce the knockback from projectiles?

Additionally, does the knockback reduction offered by armor enchantments and the burn time reduction offered by Fire Protection scale with the enchantment levels, and is there a cap?

What is a specific explanation of the complete effects afforded by these enchantments, beyond the EPF damage reduction values?

texts: Is it possible to run SimCity on two monitors?

texts:
I've seen the game running on three monitors, but I think that was with ATI's Eyefinity or Nvidia's Surround.

There are no options for it in the settings menu, but the description of the video says the game has "native multi-monitor support", and the home screen even demonstrates this by revealing the city to be a prop:

So is there some way to do it with just two?

texts:
I've just installed DX:HR via Steam, and I've noticed there's really bad mouse/keyboard lag in the game. Framerate seems fine for the most part, but when I move the mouse, there's about a quarter or half-second delay before my aim moves. It's making the game almost unplayable -- I just had to struggle for a second or two to open a vent because I kept overcorrecting.

Does anybody know why this happens? How can I fix it?

I'm using a wireless keyboard and mouse, but they don't have any noticeable lag when typing or moving the cursor. Even the cursor on the in-game menus doesn't have lag.

I have previously played Pokemon Go with the same Google account and mobile device and only now do I encounter this problem.

clearing cache and data
uninstalling and reinstalling the app
making sure my google account was syncing properly

A quick search through the internet did not do me much good and I am still at a lost as to what the cause of the problem is. This is the loading screen that I am stuck with:

Can anyone identify what the source of this problem is? Any potential solutions on how to fix this issue is also greatly appreciated.

During my travels, I have picked up many weapons such as LAMs, 12 Gauge Shotguns and Crowbars. These items have clear uses and need no introduction.

Then there are some other items, such as...Soda, Chocolate Bars, and Soy Food? Clearly, these are not the tools of the trade of a hardcore killing machine...or indeed, of anybody at all, and the game offers no explanation for their existence.

Are these items only pickup-able for the sake of atmosphere and to fill those lonely gaps in my inventory, or do they actually serve a purpose?


texts:
I'd like to build a city on the other side of America, but their two cities produce an hourglass shaped border that owns a tile between them.  They won't agree to an open borders treaty.

I can't believe I can't find the answer to this: can my settler pass through their border without inciting anger since it is a civilian unit?  Naturally, if I put a warrior inside their borders, they'll be made.  But what about non-military units?

btw: in anticipation of people suggesting that I pass through without ending the turn on the tile, the terrain is rough around and in the owned square, so I have no choice but to end the turn there.  Also, I don't have the science yet to sail the unit around the land.

I spent 75 orbs to re-spin 4 times, and all 4 times they land in the same general area! (like within 5% of the circle). That makes me wonder, is the spinner time based (can I time a re-spin to maximize my chances) or is it purely random based off of other people's spins and an algorithm?

texts: How to subtract an item from a stack in offhand slot and then add the remainder back to the inventory?

texts:
I'm in Java 1.14.4, and I'm trying to detect if the player has dragon breath in their offhand slot.  If they do, then I want to subtract 1 from that stack and then add the remaining parts of the stack back into the inventory.

execute as @a[nbt={Inventory:[{id:"minecraft:dragon_breath",Slot:-106b}]} store result score @s offHandCount run data get entity @s Inventory[-1].Count 1 won't work because only tag items cannot have their data modified, so when I subtract from the count nothing would happen.

Clearing the player of all dragon breath in their inventory, and then using give to give the player back the dragon breath with the original count, minus 1 works.  However, this can be very distracting, especially if the player has a large amount of that item.

My question is unique in that I am looking to remove the item from the offhand slot as mentioned in the title and post.

'Unfortunately' throughout the game some civilisations may have fallen at my hand, city states too, with the end result of one competing civ and 3 allied city states. What this means is there is only a possible 6 votes for me. Is it possible to still win somehow?

Even if it was possible to make the remaining civ vote for me I would not win.
I heard if you attacked a city which was taken from another civ, you can give it back to them and bring them back into the game. Unfortunately it looks like I can't do this with any of the cities.

Victory screen says:
Votes for you: 5
Total Available Diplomatic Votes: 6
Votes Needed for Diplomatic Victory: 9

Is there any way I can still win this game with a Diplomatic Victory?

texts: How to make totally self-sufficient Fallout 4 settlements without fast travel

texts:
The upcoming overhauled Survival Mode in Fallout 4 is reported to disable fast travel (this report was linked to by Bethesda).

This got me thinking about whether it's possible to have a network of self-sufficient settlements without fast travel. It sounds like a worthy challenge.

My first Fallout 4 character had a large network of settlements and occasionally one would be attacked - even when the Defence rating was higher than Food + Water. With fast travel I could easily "warp" to the settlement and wipe out the attackers.

With my second character I never used fast travel and avoided settling up even one populated settlement. Without fast travel I couldn't see how I'll be able to traverse across the map in time to "save" the settlement from attack, and could see my entire gameplay involving trekking from settlement to settlement dealing with raiding parties.

So - is it possible to create properly self-sufficient settlements which remain undamaged and happy - even if I never visit them after the original setup?

Why is this done?

Should I be doing this in normal games and low-Elo ranked games?

texts: How to detect a player at Y level 2 anywhere in the world?

texts:
I've made a practice run for parkour in my world and when I fall, I have to /kill or fly back up and it is annoying and takes time, so I was wondering if I could use commands to teleport me to a certain position if my Y level is 2 or less. I am in 1.16.3.
I tried to use the /execute commands but I don't think I am using it right, this is the command i am trying to use:
/execute if entity @p[y=2] run teleport @p 162 10 -652.

Anytime I've used this it just teleports me infinitely to the position, even if I am not at Y level 2. What is going on, and how do I fix it?

Also good would be to have genre. Can I get this with MAME using command line parameters? I know it has the year, manufacturer.... information stored, but how do I retrieve it without painstakingly going manually through each game?


texts: Occasionally a Felix will show up on the map and it says "Catch Him Now!" When I confront this creature I injure it down to zero health and then it runs away. I don't feel like I am capturing it. I'm playing on a Windows phone if that matters.


texts:
Today, I was a bit bored so I decided to install Wine on my Mac. I am running Mac OS X Lion. Normally, when I wanted to play a Windows-only game, I would fire up Windows 7 through Boot Camp, but I wanted to try something different.

After quite some time of messing around, I finally managed to install everything that I needed to and run it. When I fired up the game, I noticed a few things: the gameplay is not very smooth and the mouse control is not very sensitive.

The second problem can be overcome by adjusting the mouse sensitivity, but this is odd because if I were to load the same game using Boot Camp, the mouse would be much more sensitive at the same sensitivity than it would be using Wine. Anyways, the first problem is a bit more concerning.

I am running a 1999 game on 2011 hardware, so I would imagine that performance shouldn't be an issue. I could play Counter Strike (1.6) on my Boot Camp partition without a single hiccup/slow down. However when I load the game up using Wine, the frame rate is slashed by half, and the performance is rather bad. I understand that Wine is not going to give native performance, but it performs at least 150% worse than it does using Windows. Is this normal?

Have any of you had a problem similar to this?
If so, how (if you) did you solve it?

Thanks a ton in advance!


texts: Lately, I've seen the Youtuber "Kwebbelkop" playing a mini-golf game which is basically Golf With Your Friends, but its UI is slightly different. Observable in the video below of this other game being played, is this Golf With Your Friends with some sort of UI mod, or is it a totally different game?


texts: Why are there four workers in a Supermarket, and what changes if I fire some of them?

texts:
In the Tropico 4 DLC Modern Times, you get a Supermarket: it's like a Marketplace in that it serves as a food-distribution point (so people don't have to hike out to the farms), but can store more food, change the type of food it sells (healthy/junk food), and employs 4 people. Marketplaces only ever require a single worker, and I haven't yet seen people starving because they were waiting in line.

In some Modern Times campaign missions, you start with a Supermarket. Early in a game, tying up four high-school-educated workers in a Supermarket is a waste of educated workers. I usually fire three of them so I can use those educated workers elsewhere, but what's the effect of this on the building's services? Do fully-staffed Supermarkets serve people faster, or have a higher service quality, or serve higher-quality food, or what?


texts: Is there "optimized" screen aspect ratio in Dota 2?

texts:
In StarCraft 2 the aspect ratio of 16:9 gives a noticeable advantage over 16:10 because the visibility is always 'fixed' between the top and bottom frame of the screen. Therefore the wider the screen is, the more visibility the player has (and more units fit on the screen).

Does similar limitation exists in Dota 2? 1. How exactly does aspect ratio affect the visibility?
 2. Also, does the screen resolution affect the visibility or max camera distance?


texts: How much of a tank can I destroy without losing the liquid?

texts:
I can knock a block out of a railcraft tank, replace it, and the liquid inside will be magically restored. However I just expanded my 5x5 tank to a 7x7 tank by knocking out a corner of it and the liquid did not come back.

Under what conditions will the liquid inside a tank be kept? When will they not?

Note that my experience seems to contradict the notice on the wiki:

  If you have an accident with your tank and all your liquid appears to disappear don't worry as long as the bottom center block is still intact, replace the broken block and your liquid should reappear.


texts:
Smite was the first MOBA game I played.  After trying the various game modes on the Xbox One version I stuck with the straight forward Arena game mode.  I enabled the auto-buy features and just dedicated my gameplay to getting stuck into the action.

Over time I started to play more Joust and Siege games.  I experimented with disabling the auto-buy but just didn't seem to find a way of deciding which items to purchase.  I reverted back to auto-buy and haven't really given that choice a second thought until...

I started playing some Conquest matches.  The matches appear to be a lot longer, with levelling being slower.  I know feel at a disadvantage because I am kind of locked in to certain attributes for a longer period of time than in other game modes.  For example, if the auto-buy upgraded an ability I rarely used it would only be a minute before my favoured ability was upgraded.

What should I do to decide on a suitable build?  Is it worth sitting in spawn for 20-30 second intervals deciding on which item to purchase?  Should I really reconsider the auto-buy option?


texts: So I am making a battle royale minigame server in minecraft, and there will be chests that are spawning, so I need to clear all those chests. and I thought that it would be easiest to reset the map somehow, because I couldn't find out how to /kill a chest.

texts: How many Collectors (Probe/Drone/SCV) do you have to kill for a raid to be worth it?

texts: So frequently, I find myself raiding the enemy base with some fast harasser unit (example: Mutalisks) and I find that the enemy mineral line is defended in some way (example: marines/photon cannons).  Now I know that each Mutalisk costs me 100 crystal and 100 gas, but I also know that each Collector costs my opponent 50 crystal + all the resources it will ever collect for the rest of the game.  So the question is, how can you determine how many Collectors you should kill for some value of raiding force for the loss of the raiding force to be 'worth it'?

texts: What are the biggest gameplay differences between Lips and Singstar?

texts:
I'm trying to decide on a singing/karaoke game and I'm not sure whether to go with Lips or Singstar, as I own both a 360 and a PS3. I was wondering what types of gameplay differences there were between the two games in regards to single player depth and party play, how large the DLC libraries are, and what kind of compatibility between other games the microphones have/accept.

I have a Rock Band 1 microphone, and my entire collection of GH/RB is on 360, so I'm leaning towards Lips for that reason, though I'm not sure if Lips accepts the RB1 mike. Lips lets you import your own music which I didn't know until I read that question, which is one of the biggest appeals for me. Does Singstar offer the same?


texts: Signing in to Pokemon Go with Google - only gives sign UP option not sign IN

I do not want to make a new account, just sign into the one I already have. (I have not changed phones, this just started happening out of the blue.) Sorry if this is a silly question, but I am a bit lost here!


texts: How to switch Trainers in Rock Band 3 Pro Mode?

texts:
So I finally got my Squier Stratocaster and the Midi controller for Rock Band 3's Pro Mode and wanted to try the training mode. But I got welcomed by the message:

  You must use the instrument associated with this Trainer.

While the last training I did was with the keytar, I was now controlling with the midi controller. Logging in with a second account through the keytar didn't help either.

So how can I switch to the correct trainer or make sure Rock Band 3 recognizes the correct instrument?

texts:
It's a well-known problem, especially in Garbage, that the auto-holstering system prevents one in some cases from occupying a faction home.

My researches tell me that installing the Sky Reclamation Project mod will fix this.

My question: is this the preferred fix? More specifically:

a) SRP comes with a lot of mods. I am not sure I want them all. Do I want them all but I'm just too noob to know?

b) Are there other "smaller" fixes? I see vague hints here and there, but no clear answers.

c) what is the downside to installing SRP? Having painfully discovered that mod installations invalidate saves, I am a mod skeptic.

Thanks,

texts: Does the placement of Ropecaster shots make a difference?

texts:
I just bought the Ropecaster, but haven't had much time to experiment with it, as I'm not too far into the game. So far, I've only experimented a bit on the first Sawtooth, but I fired all 8 shots around its head and forearms and it seemed to recover somewhat quickly. Was this due to my poorly placed Ropecaster shots?

That is, if I spread out my Ropecaster shots on a large machine, will it be more effective at pinning it down than, say, firing all ropes into one part of the machine's body? Or does it not matter where I fire them?


texts: How do I use Steam In-Home Streaming between Fedora (client) and Windows 8 (server)?

texts:
My main gaming machine is a Windows 8 box attached to my TV. When my husband wants to watch TV, I like to play games from my laptop. Since switching OS from Ubuntu to Fedora on my laptop, Steam has stopped detecting the gaming machine as an in-home streaming server.

What is preventing this, and how can I remedy it so that I can once again stream games to my laptop?


texts: What is the best way to detect covered/hidden units in an enemy city?

texts:
The problem is that my invading naval force tries to defend my attacking "marines", however, sometimes an enemy destroyer pops out from no where and kills the unit.

This had perplexed me on occasion as to how this could happen. Especially since I utilize a defence with my navy where the only gaps would cause the enemy unit to move past my defence in an adjacent fashion, thus losing any remaining moves.

I have since worked out that the unit usually is within the city I am attacking and that I cannot see it because they are hidden/covered by a land unit in the city.

What is the best way to see the destroyer or any other units in the city when the rule of having multiple units on a hex is allowed?

texts: Is there an easier way to locate the vehicles Simeon wants?

texts:
Sometimes when Simeon sends a list of cars he wants, finding the more profitable ones can be tricky. But this latest list should have been the easiest cake-walk ever. FQ-2? Patriot? Fusilade? (Also Habanero and Gresley) Those are all the vehicles I get frustrated with when I'm trying to find anything good (be it fast or valuable).

However the game seems to have other ideas, as after 45 minutes of searching various areas, the Radius has overwhelmingly become Los Santos's most popular Hatchback/SUV. I literally counted 10 of them stopped in a single direction at a red light. Patriots have disappeared off the face of the earth, and the Sentinel XS seems to have replaced the Fusilade as the most popular 2-door coupe.

I just don't get it, the GTA Wikia says the following under it's entry on the FQ-2's location online:

  The FQ 2 is a common vehicle, more so when it's being requested by
  Simeon Yetarian for his Import/Export Garage.

Normally I'd agree with the first part of that quote. They were common. Very common. Annoyingly common. But the second part of that quote seems to be an outright lie based on what I've seen for the better part of the last hour. The entry on the Fusilade makes claims to similar frequent spawning bolstered by being requested.

I'm not going to waste any more time on this particular request from Simeon, as my time would be more profitably spent driving a Sanchez around the racetrack solo at this point (~$850/minute -vs- the maximum payout of ~$6720 for an FQ2 or Patriot). But is there some trick to more easily locating vehicles on Simeon's list?

texts:
I made an overworld portal (Portal A) at [x:-21, z:233]. This took me to a new portal in the nether (Portal C) which as at [x:-4, z:41].

I then went to another location in the overworld and created Portal B at [x:-613, z:-373]. This is a total of around 1200 blocks away so I thought it was a safe distance. However, when I stepped through, I arrived at Portal C again.

So, I tore down Portal C and used a Portal coordinates calculator to tell me where Portal B's match in the Nether should be. The calculator gave me [x:-77, z:-46], so I went there and constructed Portal D.

When I stepped through Portal D, I ended up at portal B, as I expected. So I ran back to Portal A, and stepped through it again.. only to end up at portal D in the Nether. When I stepped back through portal D, I ended up at portal B.

What's happening is this:

A -> D <-> B

Whereas what I want to happen is this:

A <-> C and B <-> D

How can I achieve this? I don't mind tearing down portals, but I'd rather avoid that as it's quite time consuming.

texts: How important is my pet and the fish I feed him?

texts:
Ok, so I have this cute pet that I picked.  It attacks things and I can use fish to make it uber.  The problem I have is that I don't seem to care very much about him, except that his trips to town are very convenient.  What I want to know, in hopes that I will find new appreciation for my pet, is how important he really is to my survival and progress.

Here's the question: Assuming I give him the best collar and tags I can find, how much of a difference can fish really make?

I have searched for questions regarding the effects of various fish and therefore understand their various effects, but they don't seem significant.  As a result, I seldom bother to feed fish to my pet.  I've even assigned a hotkey to fish feeding, but still seldom bother.  The problem is probably that I do not know what percentage of my DPS is generated by my pet, and therefore do not account for him whatsoever.  (He is useful but unaccountable.)

texts: How to play Minecraft PS4 edition after updating to Bedrock edition?

texts:
We bought PS4 & Minecraft (physical disc) a while ago.  Pretty soon Minecraft got an update to Bedrock edition. However, the kids would prefer to play the old PS4 edition -> is there way to access the PS4 edition after upgrade?

Revert approach: We were able to revert to PS4 edition by deleting Minecraft, removing network access and installing Minecraft again from the physical disc. However, this setup is quite fragile.

Accessing PS4 Edition from Bedrock edition: Kids told that their friends have been able to play PS4 edition from Bedrock edition. From https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/PlayStation_4_Edition I found

  PlayStation 4 Edition is a separate game from Bedrock Edition and is still playable for anyone who owns it by selecting the "Editions" button on the title screen of Bedrock Edition.

However, I haven't found "Editions" button on the title screen?

There is an API call to test it:

  affectingCombat = UnitAffectingCombat("unit");

Is this usable in Macros?

tl;dr: Playing Borderlands 2 GOTY DLC with a Borderlands 2 (vanilla) disc seems to work ok. Can anyone confirm?

I have a copy of the Borderlands 2 GOTY Edition as well as a Borderlands 2 (vanilla) disc. I installed the GOTY DLC and played for a few hours, then I realized I had put the Borderlands 2 (vanilla) disk into the Xbox 360 after installing the GOTY DLC and not the GOTY disc 1.

Is the GOTY disc 1 the same as the vanilla disc?

Can anyone else confirm this behavior? Are there problems later on in the game?


texts: Which hybrid ammunitions are best under which circumstances?

texts:
I have just got myself a nice new ship and fitted it with some 150mm Prototype Gauss Guns which use hybrid ammunitions. There are a variety of hybrid ammunitions in game which all appear to do varying quantities of different types of damage.

I mainly like engaging my enemies at maximum range, so I can kill everything before it can hit me and thus I can minimise the damage that I take. Previously in my previous ship I have been using antimatter ammunition but I was wondering due to the varying statistics on each type of ammunition which hybrid ammunitions are the best under which circumstances?


texts: How to make a dockingport not detatch it self?

texts:
Actually I'm experimenting with dockingports because before I sent a spacecraft into orbit which later should be dockable, I'm experimenting I got it correct how the ports are working.

Fortunately I did so...

Actually my problem is, I have a scenario where 2 spacecrafts are docking each other on the launchway. but after I click to detatch, the port detatches from the counterpart as expectet, but.... it also detatches itself from the spacecraft...

This is a screenshot of the current testing setup:

http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Docking#Docking_ports

is telling this is a mistake often done by beginners, but doesn't tell how to avoid this / do it correctly.

So my question simply is, how to dock correctly, in a way detatching just detatches the ports from each other but none of both from any spacecraft part?

It’s hard to believe with all the modding and customization that has been a core feature of the hit indie title hasn’t revealed this mysterious unknown crafting recipe.


texts: Is it possible to complete The Interbank Incident with all seven starting characters?

texts:
The Interbank Incident was an early adventure game for the Tandy Color Computer. Among its various innovations, you could select from seven different characters with different listed strengths and weaknesses, which may or may not impact gameplay (for example, one character was described as strong enough to kick down certain doors, another was well-dressed enough to get into certain establishments without a ticket, and a third was military, and could enter the base without hassle).

The choice of character apparently also shuffled the locations of the items. This FAQ notes that the manual claims any character can complete the game, but they've only found solutions for three of the characters (and the walkthrough notes that some items are randomized, and I remember some other items also consistently did not show up in your inventory or in certain locations, based on the character picked, further complicating a single solution).

So, does anyone have proof that it's possible to complete the game with all seven characters? Or, alternately, proof that it is not possible?


texts: Thunderstorm sound when joining server followed by fire?

texts:
Recently upon joining my Tekkit Lite server I've been hearing these large rumbling sounds like you'd get during a thunderstorm, however when I actually spawn in the world it's a nice calm day with no rain or lightning in sight.

Additionally I noticed it had also caused the outbreak of a number of fires which is quite annoying as it sets a number of trees on fire which then quickly spreads across the entire forested region that I'm situated by.

What could be causing these mysterious thunderstorm sounds and fires? - It would be nice to get to the bottom as this has happened twice now.

Another note: This problem has also been experienced by other players on the server however I myself have yet to actually play in a thunderstorm. Also another point is that this doesn't seem to occur every time I join, just a few.

Thanks!


texts: How best to preserve a rare old game disc while continuing to use the software, and does anyone know the value on this disc?

texts:
My son and I have a game that is slightly older than he is, which is in a limited-edition set.   The set is Jet Set Radio Future with Sega GT 2002 (full, playable games) that came with the original X-Box back in the day. The volume label when placed in the disc tray is "X-Box Demos".

By sheer luck, the two games and all of their very dated game preview videos for things like Buffy the Vampire Slayer work flawlessly on the XBox 360.  Not all original X-Box games work on the 360, and that something so explicitly niche worked in the emulation provided by the 360 without problems was a shock.  The disc is without any damage and a good time has been had by all.

Since the only thing we really play on the disc is JSRF.  While Jet Set Radio exists on Steam, this is not the same game.  With concern for the age of the disc and potential damage from use, I looked up just the cost of the JSRF disc (not the disc I have, I couldn't find that anywhere).  It's "one of those" games where another 16-year-old copy costs exponentially more than a retail game now. I'm not sure if the copy I have is worth more or less to collectors, which is why I also asked about value. I doubt I should insure the disc, but if it's crazy rare, maybe?

Is there a way to make a backup copy of the disc which can be used instead, or install the game onto the XBox 360 HDD and run it from there instead of using the disc?  I know 360 games can be installed, and usually just check the disc for DRM purposes before reading off of the fixed media, but I don't know if we can do that here.  If not, both my son and I use emulators to play games without the use of aging and broken consoles we've had; is there an emulator which could read an .ISO copy of this disc?  We already own the game and physically possess both consoles, so licensing shouldn't be an issue.


texts: What kind of gear should I have before I start doing veteran(hard mode) group dungeons?

texts:
I play a main healer and I recently hit Veteran rank 1. My favorite thing to do is running group dungeons and I was wondering what kind of gear I should have before I try hard mode. Is Vet1 blues good enough or should I have a few set bonuses before I move up? I know that this isn't going to be like, you need X drop from Y instance.

If it would be easier maybe breakdown some base stat numbers I should be shooting for, things like Max Health/Magicka, Spell Power, or Spell crit.

TL;DR: How will I know that I'm ready to try veteran dungeons?


texts: Select Players with inventory open using Mincraft Commands

texts:
What I'm trying to do: Make sure players always have a particular guidebook/spellbook (a special command-generated one with clickable links and a special tag).

If they lose their book, it should appear back in their inventory.  If they drop their book, it should do that and the book on the ground should disappear.

I have this working on a basic level, except... Any time a player tries to move their book to a different slot, it gives them a new one, which just feels wrong.  There is apparently no inventory slot you can detect for the mouse.  Even if there were...
This can lead to fast infinite generation if, for instance, they open a chest and repeatedly put that book in that chest.

So the thought process here is maybe make it so that if the player has the inventory GUI open, they are excluded from the selection.  So they don't get the book until the inventory is closed.  It still leaves some gaps, and they could fill chests with these books.  But they would have to try to make it glitch out, and I think it would feel right at that point.  And in order to do infinite generation, they'd have to repeatedly open and close the chest.

Here are my commands as it stands.  (2 command blocks per spellbook)

/give @a[nbt=!{Inventory:[{id:"minecraft:written_book", tag:{spellbook:basic}}]}] written_book{pages:[...yada...],title:"Spellbook",author:"Dartania @ http://minecraft.tools/",display:{Lore:["You need this for lots of stuff!  Don't lose it!"]},spellbook:basic}
/kill @e[nbt={Item:{id:"minecraft:written_book", tag:{spellbook:basic}}}]

What I'm looking to do is add to this part...
@a[nbt=!{Inventory:[{...}]
and make it more like @a[nbt=!{Inventory:[{...}]},nbt=!{Client:{InventoryOpen:true}}]

I know Client:{InventoryOpen} is not the correct thing, but I don't know what is the correct thing.

For reference, I'm building a Singleplayer/Multiplayer puzzle map on Vanilla Minecraft 1.14, with a bedrock/command_block bunker below spawn.  I'm using http://minecraft.tools/ to generate stuff (like the spellbook)


texts: Vasu told me that this ring can turn me into an Octorok.  While that is kinda neat from an aesthetic standpoint, does this serve any purpose in the game other than looks?


texts: How can I get a pod back from orbit when it's out of fuel?

texts:
What's the best way to return a Kerbal back to Kerbin if they're in orbit around Kerbin. I have my best pilot, Jebediah, stuck in orbit without fuel. I'm quite fond of him so I would like to mount a rescue mission to return him back home.

I'm not really sure how to mount a rescue mission, what type of rocket should I build to get Jebediah back?


texts: If I was going for gold farming, would I be more likely to get more gold from 1 or 2 minion waves or a champion kill/assist? I understand that killing champions is important for disrupting the enemy team and that I should be present for as many teamfights as possible, but what should I really focus on early game? I don't want to b at a disadvantage because I got 1 or 2 waves of minions but my opponent ganked mid and got a kill, came back and showed me his new items; resulting in my death.


texts: I have seen sites that list the requirements to run that say you need AVX to play hyperscape, but I don't think Ubisofts site says this.  Is AVX required?  Will it crash the game without it?  Anyone here whos played who doesn't have AVX?


texts: Why does Reach only let my friends/party members talk to me?

texts:
So, I often play Doubles in Reach, and when I do play, I always play with the same friend. When we're sitting in the pre-game lobby, none of the players (other than my friend) have a  mic on my screen. However, my friend will be having conversations with the other people as we are sitting there, so they obviously do have mics, I just can't see/hear them. The usual culprit is a closed or moderate NAT, but I have an open NAT status. My second thought was maybe privacy or child settings (my account was, at one point in time, a child account), but looking into those I have voice chat on for all people.

What could be causing me to not be able to hear any other people in matchmaking?

Of note, on occasion I run into people who show a muted sign, but never anyone who has a mic symbol. Also, voice chat works correctly in other games (like Mass Effect 3), so I think it might be specific to Reach.
