texts: I have been playing a modpack with Galacticraft and when I was on the moon I placed a sealable aluminum cable block and after a few seconds my game has crashed. I can not load that world anymore. Is there any way to remove the block or change my dimension because I am ok with deleting the dimension and generating it again. I have no recent backups and it is not worth starting over because I played for years without backup. I would just stop playing that modpack.

I'm having trouble getting past the last portion of World 3-10 in Scribblenauts Remix. I've managed to get the man and his dog past the first 2 areas with a heavy bridge, and a long bridge, but the last portion with a gap over fire has me stumped. The hint refers to  fire-resistant. I've tried various fire resistant materials: steel, asbestos, etc. I've put out the fire with rain and even created a "fire-resistant bridge" and laid it across, but the man and dog just sit and wait. I'm sort of at a loss after various attempts. I'm sure the answer is obvious, but it's not coming to me. Any ideas of how to pass would be appreciated.

Here they are doing nothing even though they should be able to cross:

I've gotten to a room in STANDBY that I cannot figure out how to get through. Here's a screenshot of the room:

How do you get through this room?


texts: Do I really score more for murdering everyone and hiding their bodies?

texts:
In most stealth games, the game rates you as having done the best job if you get in and out without anyone being suspicious, and without killing anyone.  Mark of the Ninja is no different - there's a score bonus for being undetected, and a score bonus for making it through an entire level without making a kill.

However, there are also large score bonuses for murdering people in particularly brutal fashion.  For instance, consider a vent kill:

600 points for the kill (a "Prowling Spider")
250 points for hiding the body (automatic, I drag him into the vent)

If I avoid him instead, though, I just get +400 at the end of the level, plus if I manage to do the entire level perfectly I might get +3000, but with 20 or more guards per level, this works out to 150 or fewer points per guard.

Stacked on top of this, I could have gotten "Undetected" (+200) by hiding in the room with him previously, and/or "Distracted" (+150) for getting him to look the other way by breaking a light for example.  These bonuses can occur either way, though, so they're not useful to this discussion.

That leaves us with 850 points for a kill (or even 650 in the worst case where I don't get "fancy" about it and just stab him through the neck while his back is turned) versus ~550 for leaving him undisturbed.

It seems to me like the best idea is to murder everyone and hide their bodies.  Is this the case, or are there other bonuses/points I can get from being especially sneaky and not very stabby?

texts: Can Microsoft wipe Xbox cloud saves due to inactivity?

texts:
The FAQ doesn't answer this concern, they only mention the limited cloud storage space (~2GB displayed for my personal account). From what I've gathered, local save backups aren't a concept on Xbox One (presumably due to cheating concerns); Microsoft only has a support page for exporting the console system settings. According to a makeuseof.com article (updated in September 2020) copying save files locally isn't currently possible.
I'll leave the Xbox ecosystem at least for a year (until the Series S/X availibility stabilizes) and I fear that the game save cloud storage may be cleared for accounts considered as "inactive".


texts: How do I taunt specifically with my weapon?

texts:
Team Fortress 2 recently introduced a number of changes to taunts, including a menu to choose among taunts and the ability to perform “partner taunts” with members of the opposing team.

The problem is, if I try to taunt kill an enemy who is currently, say, doing the conga, I end up dancing along with them instead — I don't even get the taunt menu. I take offense to this perfect defense!

How can I perform my weapon taunt even if there is a partner taunt I could join?

texts: When is it profitable to use the 'stock all' button?

texts:
In Tiny Tower (iOS app), there is an option to 'stock all' to stock all your floors. This restocks any floor with stock that has already been ordered and is ready to be delivered, and reorders more stock if applicable.

Fortunately, this option does not require any bux. My tower is 50 floors tall, so this option usually costs me 5-12k coins, depending on the situation. When my tower is completely stocked, I make around 1500 coins/min, but my tower is rarely ever 100% stocked. I've started using this option because if I restock by hand it can take me up to 10min sometimes.

However, I only want to continue this option if it is reasonably profitable. I don't want to make only ~18k coins and then have to pay 12k to restock. At what level does this option become more viable, if any? Is there a good strategy for using the feature, or should I avoid it all together?

texts: Playing mouse era games with a touchscreen or pen

texts:
Hankering after a little Space Colony nostalgia, I thought I would have a go at playing Space Colony HD on my touchscreen Windows 8 convertible.

Apart from scrolling around the map (pushing the mouse beyond the borders of the screen), the interface appears to be ideal for it (the basic operation is click to select then click elsewhere to interact with another game element). The trouble is I'm having the same problem I had trying to play it on another convertible with a pen interface.

In both cases (touch, or pen) a single tap does nothing other than move the pointer. A double tap acts like a single tap, and the normal tap and hold for right click does nothing (on the pen you can tap while pressing the side button, but on the touchscreen there appears to be no way to get it to recognise a right-click, so once something is selected it stays selected).

Is this a general problem with pen/touch in games which don't explicitly support it, or is the problem specific to Space Colony?

Is there a way to get Space Colony (and possibly other games) to recognise single tap as a single left mouse button click, and a tap and hold as a right click?

Are there any other options I should consider? Since the game is 4:3 and my display is 16:9 there is plenty of blank screen real-estate, so is there any way to have that touchscreen space populated with virtual buttons for left click, right click, and arrow keys etc?


texts:
While browsing the Minecraft Wiki, I've stumbled upon a very interesting feature: it states (specifically here) that it is possible to add custom symbols (called "decorations") to maps - this looks very, very promising, especially for map-making, but lacks so many important details! What exactly the format of the type field? Do x and y fields relate to global (per-world) or local (per-map) coordinates? And if the latter, then what are their limits? This raises so many questions, and, obviously, it also lacks any examples...

I've tried to google it, but in vain: results are mostly about fancy map decorations, furniture and the staff. Could someone please explain this topic or link to someplace where it is already explained?

Kodlak is dead and everyone is "mourning" but when I speak to anyone in the companions they act as if nothing happened.

For example I have the option to train from them still and ask "Why did you join the companions?"

Will it still work for me if I start the quest to retrieve the helm of winterhold and run through driftshade refuge or use invisibility potions to get the helm without killing anyone? (I have a saved game right when I started Bloods Honor and before I have killed any witches).

Note: I have not cleared driftshade refuge and I have not completed the quest to find the helm of winterhold.

texts: What effect, if any, does talking to your players have?

texts:
In the 2006 PS2 game Let's Make a Soccer Team!, one of the menu options is labelled "Talk To". Every in-game day, you can talk to four or five of your players, triggering a short cutscene in which they tell you one of several preset lines (the main one I remember being "This formation... I don't really get it.")

I've been playing the game on-and-off for years now, and I choose this option more or less every chance I get, but it's recently occurred to me that I don't know what it actually does. Does talking to your players have any in-game effect, or is it just there as fluff?


texts: Gmod Wiremod not saving and/or loading correctly

texts: I have wiremod, wiremod extras, and numerous other addons in gmod. When I load a game saved via the "save" command, I am unable to select inputs and outputs using the wire tool, disabling me from working on anything I was doing earlier. I did notice however the debugger works fine. When saving, there are no script errors. I understand the possibility of mod confliction, however I have tried this with different combinations of mods, and I also have not noticed this problem in the past. In addition, I need certain mods enabled for what I am creating. I looked online for quite some time, and the only other person I was able to find with the same problem had a different version of wire, and a version switch was ultimately his solution. Does anybody know a way to fix this? Thanks in advance


texts: How do you make the Minecraft full screen window full screen on Windows 10?

texts:
Does anyone know how to make Minecraft run in full screen mode?

My display is set to 1920 x 1080, and the game was able to run full screen a while ago, but, I forget what the workaround was - any ideas? I haven't updated my graphics drivers in ages, so, it wasn't a driver update that broke things.

Pressing F11 enters "full screen mode" but this only occupies a subset of the window.

I set the resolution to 1920 x 1080 in the launch options, but the window is still 1024 x 768 or something - I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

I've tried:

Toggling "Fullscreen" in the Video Settings
Setting a resolution of 1920x1080 in the "Full Screen Mode" setting in the Video Settings menu
Settting a resolution of 1920 x 1080 in the launch options
Disabling Optifine and repeating the above
Disabling high DPI optimizations for javaw.exe
Pressing F11 to enter full screen with "Fullscreen" set to "On" or "Off"
Pressing ALT + Enter

I have Optifine 1.12 installed, but disabling Optifine doesn't fix this.

This worked a few weeks ago, but, like a fool, I do not recall how I managed to get full screen mode to take up the full screen.


texts: How do I put an item into multiple containers?

texts:
I'm currently experimenting with building a TNT cannon in Minecraft 1.16.3. The idea is that a command block fills the dispensers just before shooting with 1 TNT. So far I managed found out how to give a single block to a single dispenser with the following command:
/replaceitem block ~ ~ ~1 container.0 minecraft:tnt 1

However I didn't want to create and set a new command block for every dispenser, and given that /fill exists, I was wondering if I could modify the above command to select multiple dispensers. Perhaps something along the line of
/replaceitem block ~ ~ [~1,~7] container.0 minecraft:tnt 1

texts: Is there anything that can be done about losing the cursor in combat?

texts:
The mouse cursor in Guild Wars 2 seems easy-to-lose in combat situations, making it difficult to know where to target ground-targeted skills quickly. This poor coordination can lead to situations where my reaction time is significantly faster than my ability to react, leaving me with missed opportunities, particularly in large-scale WvW combat.

The default color of the mouse cursor is a yellow-brown tint, which can blend into terrain backgrounds.
The mouse cursor has fairly subtle tint changes based on what is hovered over (green for allies, red for enemies).
Whenever one of the mouse buttons is held down, the mouse cursor is invisible, which can make it easy to lose track of where the mouse cursor was prior to rotating your camera or character.

Is there any way to make the cursor more visible or easier to keep track of?

How does the game avoid dead time in the setup for getting 100 people to all start out at the same time?

Are there just so many people going from game to game that it's no big deal? Are there long wait times in a lobby? Do people who die early never know or care who wins the match? Are some people allowed to come in a bit late? Is there any real community development as a result of game play itself, where players get to know each other in-game?

I even created a guy on the Alliance (I usually play Horde) just to check and see if they have any, and what-do-you-know, they had one listed for 60k.

However, here's the part that I don't get -- I see Hordies in Org that have it, so I know that there are some alchemists with it. I'm not seeing that I see it a ton, but I can usually fly around Org and see at least 2 people with it at any time.

Any speculation as to what the hold up is on my server?

texts: Is there a way to calculate how much Harddrive Space is needed for one's entire Steam Library?

texts:
With the PC build I am planning, I want to have a dedicated Hard drive for Steam. While I could just get the biggest Hard drive possible, I need to work out how much space I'll need at the very least for my current library (to see what my options are).

While I could just select every game in my library and download them all I already have some games installed currently which I keep installed for updates (ie. Terraria, Starbound) and to be honest I don't want to be uninstalling these only to have to re-download them (as my internet isn't all that fast)

I also have ~>300 games + DLC and while there is a System Requirement (Storage) on Games and DLC I believe that it only gives me the space requirement for the base game and not the DLC (ie. Megadimension Neptunia VII and one of it's DLC, the Weapons Pack, both say it takes 17 GB)

So is there a way to calculate how much Harddrive Space is needed for one's entire Steam Library (including DLC) without uninstalling it all?


texts: How to enable TWBT for Spacefox graphic set in Dwarf Fortress?

texts:
After using Spacefox Graphic Set in Dwarf Fortress, text is displayed as graphic tiles(for example, idlers: 8 is shown as idlers<rocks> 8), but I want text to be text.

There seems to be a dfhack plugin called TWBT, which is designed to resolve this problem. I've already installed dfhack, but due to the lack of documentation, I don't know how to install TWBT and get everything work.

I'm playing vanilla Dwarf Fortress v43.03 under macOS. It seems that with a Lazy Newb Pack, even a newbie can fix this issue easily, but unfortunately the latest version of LNP hasn't supported save files from v43.03 yet :(

texts: Hero resurrection in Game of War fire Age, how does it work?

texts:
My hero was sacrificed, there is no noticeable lost in experience points for my hero or power in my city. I see a timer countdown of 7 days and the help button says:

  You have 7 days to resurrect your Hero with no loss of experience.
  Although, if your hero does pass on, a descendent of your Hero will
  emerge to lead your city! You may also hire a new Hero. The
  descendent/hired Hero will maintain an amount of the fallen
  Hero's XP, the amount of XP maintained is dependent on the level of
  your Gymnos.

So, what would happen to my hero's XP points and my city's power points if I resurrect my hero before the 7 days timer expires? and what would happen if I resurrect him after the timer has expired?

As a side note, I would like to stop babysitting my account for a while, so I'd prefer not to resurrect my hero, but it's not clear to me what is the penalty imposed by the game for a bit of leisure time :)

texts: What prompted the change of game packaging with the introduction of the PlayStation 2?

Out of interest, was there anything in particular that prompted this change?


texts: What is the trigger mechanic for the wizard passive critical mass?

texts:
This question is no longer relevant as the skill has been removed from the game as of Patch 2.0.1

Critical Mass is a wizard passive:
Critical Hits have a chance to reduce the cooldown of your spells by 1 second.

Do you know what is meant by "chance" ? It is probably something like an increasing chance over time that decrease every time it triggers, because if it was a flat % chance it would be in the description.

Most wizards cooldowns are about 15 seconds. When compared to evocation (reduces all cooldowns by 15%), critical mass needs to trigger at least 3 times every 15 seconds to be better than evocation. In my current setup, this is never the case. I would say that I deal about 10 critical hits in a normal 15 seconds fight. It is most of the time 1, sometimes 2. So I would guess that the base probability is something like 10%. My critical chance when doing this was 7%, so I think you have to increase it by a lot in order for critical mass to be effective.

Update: Critical mass recently got patched:

  Fixed an issue with certain powers that had a higher than intended
  chance to trigger Critical Mass

It is still not clear how it works. Apparently it depends in what skill you are using. The only way to be sure is actually testing in the game what the skill does; and I find it very frustrating. I want to be able to design a build without having to test myself every spell independently, or searching though the web if someone did it.

Update (1.0.3): With the attack speed nerf, critical mass got un-nerfed. There is a build called windup based on the fact that energy twister with wicked wind makes critical mass trigger very often.

Update (1.0.4): Now the skill energy twister - wicked wind used in the windup build has his modifier reduced by half, so the build is still good, but not as good as it used to be.

texts:
I have played through Portal and found several references that somewhat point to the fact that Chell may be an android.

GlaDOS says "Well done android..."
and "Android Hell is a real place where you will be sent..."
Chell does not say anything like Atlas and P-Body. (this may be excused by her brain damage due to suspension)
Chell is an "orphan" and there by has no record of parents or family.
Cave Johnson says that the repulsion gel does not interact well with the human skeleton, but Chell gets covered in it and appears to be fine.
The Moon Rock gel is supposed to be extremely toxic since it appears to be killing Cave Johnson. Again Chell is covered in it and is fine.

So, is Chell an android?

One of the rank 5 evolutions for the Sabotage power is called Explosive Hack. The description for this power reads:

Having my enemy explode after I've killed it with Nova could leave me in an even more vulnerable position than usual, as I often run around with a single bar of health in the middle of a fight repeating Charge-> Nova-> Charge.

Will the explosion from this skill cause damage to Shepard and her squadmates as well? I'm playing a Vanguard, so I'm rather up close and personal with most enemies, and I need to know if I'll have to take into account random explosions that will damage me when I'm killing things.

texts: How to manage loot when doing missions in fleet?

texts:
I started doing L4 missions yesterday with a friend of mine.

We were in a fleet and thus, ISKs, loyalty points and faction standings were correctly split between the two of us, but we didn't find a proper way to manage looting and salvaging during the missions.

We both have our own corporation, which removes the possibility of having a corp hangar where we could drop all loots and refine / sell from this hangar.

We ended having one of us collect all the loot and salvage, then split the loot between us.
However, this process takes some time, and is not that simple (loot must be kept in a station where it will not be confused with the player's assets).

How do you manage the loot and salvage during fleet missions ?

When playing Survival it quickly becomes apparent that the health of the standard enemy soldier goes up either per round or per-so-many rounds.

Does this also apply for the Juggernauts? I usually kill them with C4 and at first I thought it always takes 7 C4 stacked to kill the first Jugg that I get.

However Ive sometimes killed a Jugg with as little as 5 C4 packs - So now Im aware that how close they are to the packs themselves when they blow is a major factor in how much damage they take. Unfortunately this has also completely derailed any idea as to how much health they have and if it increases or not as you continue to progress through the survival waves.

Right now, I have execute as @e[type=minecraft:snowball] if score @s[type=minecraft:snowball] age > 20 numbers run summon minecraft:lightning_bolt

In God Of War, Aegir Gold is basically most common resource - you can get a plenty just by roaming around Lake Of Nine. After finishing the game, I had around 1000 of this resource.

Judging by the amount of Aegir Gold game gives you, it could be basic crafting material needed for everything, but I haven't found literally a single item requiring this resource to craft.

texts: Tekkit Lite 0.6.5: What is up with liquids?

texts:
I have been playing on my Tekkit Lite server lately and have been trying to set up a system that transfers lava via cells. I just found that lava buckets will not place the lava. It will consume the lava bucket rendering an empty bucket. Oddly enough, when you right click the bucket again it will be full. This behavior also happens with water and cells, and cells cannot even pick up fluids. The lava cell will appear in your inventory, but not consume the lava/water block, and as soon as you right click or open your inventory it will become an empty cell. However none of this occurs in singleplayer.

What is happening?

texts: Why has my Team Fortress 2 inventory vanished and then reappeared on Steam?

texts:
I want to sell some tf2 items on the Steam Market, however, my inventory seems to have vanished, that is, the tf2 tab is no longer there. After I noticed this, I decided to try selling through the tf2 backpack itself, both to make sure that I hadn't actually lost my items and to see if I could actually sell them. I did have my items, but when I select the "sell on Market" option, it just sends me to the first item in my Steam inventory.

This was the situation as I began writing this question. In order to write it as accurately as possible, I performed my actions in tf2 again, only to discover that it is now working. I then went to my inventory on Steam and (after refreshing the page) the tf2 tab is now there again. What could have caused the tab to vanish and then reappear?

texts: Bot software and add ons for WoW, difference?

texts:
After finding out that bots do indeed break the TOS:

  You agree that you will not, under any circumstances:
  A. use cheats, automation software (bots), hacks, mods or any other unauthorized third-party software designed to modify the World of Warcraft experience;

This has me wondering about the difference in using addons from the likes of Curse, ElvUI, etc...

These are third party software designed to modify the WoW experience, yet somehow come these are authorized while the likes of something like, say, a simple mining bot is deemed "a glitch in the matrix".

Granted not everyone wants the default UI but why is it one rule for one and one rule for the other? The likes of DBM makes EVERY fight in the game so easy with it's timed mechanics on raids so this itself is making the user less prone to the full game experience by telling them what's coming up.

I don't feel that automation software and addons are all that different. Using my DBM example it automates the way in which the fight mechanics happen by giving times etc.

So, from that my question is: What is the main difference between bots and addons in regards to breaking the ToS?

LessPop MoreFizz told me on chat that maybe due to a N.D.A even if someone knew they wont be allowed to tell, if this is the case, how would I be able to know, before I get the chance to try the key itself?


texts: Why are my dwarves starving when there's food available?

texts:
I'm new to Dwarf Fortress, and though I've started a nice fortress, for some reason my dwarves are always starving. According to my records, there is plenty of food: over 100 in the "other" category, over 300 seeds, and over twenty drink plus a well and a river. But I constantly receive messages that "Urist McDwarf cancelled Give Food: no food available" and "Urist McDwarf cancelled Drink: no water source". Some are even hunting vermin. I think I'm getting the same problem with wood, because my carpenters are always cancelling tasks due to lack of wood even though there is a pile of it right outside the fortress door.

I already tried to remove walls and obstructions inside the fortress, but it didn't help. Moving, adding, and configuring stockpiles also didn't help. I see dwarves going to all of the locations of the things they need, but they almost never pick them up.

I'm using the Linux version. I don't know if it has more glitches than the Windows version.

EDIT: I just embarked in a new world, and several minutes later my carpenter cancelled a task I gave him, claiming that there wasn't enough wood even though I confirmed that the wood was available before assigning the task. A while after that, I started a stockpile underground, and I started getting error messages telling me that items couldn't be moved to it. There are huge paths with no blockage.

I'm considering the possibility of a limit on the path-finding system that scales with processor power (which would give me shorter paths, because my computer is old). This article says that the algorithm has been known to fail more generally: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/131954/interview_the_making_of_dwarf_.php?page=8

I might be able to fix it by clustering my fortress. I'll try it tomorrow.


texts: Switch user profile in Super Mario Maker 3DS

We bought Super Mario Maker for my sons birthday. He played the game first, and it is linked to his profile/mii. For the life of me, I can't find a way to switch to my own profile/mii. I searched the internet and could not find anything.

So how do I switch profiles? Or does Mario Maker 3ds not support multiple accounts...

texts:
My friend and I used to play a lot of minecraft. Today when he came over we decided to play some. I created a world, opened it to lan, but it just wouldn't show up. We even tried direct connect with our ip address and port, but recieved the error: "java.net.SocketException: network is unreachable, no further information."

Here's what we've tried:

Checked minecraft in windows firewall, which we've already done before. (It fixed the world not showing up before, but now even if it's checked the world isn't there)

Direct connect.

Using the ping command in the commandline. We both ran ipconfig and tried to ping each other, which was successful, which probably means it's a minecraft or firewall problem.

texts: I get a "Steam needs to be online to update..." error message every time I start up my computer

texts:
"Steam needs to be online to update please confirm your network connection and try again."

This started happening around a week ago. I looked it up, and I did the fix where you delete all the files but steamapps and Steam.exe, then restart your computer. I opened the file, open Steam, it updates and everything works. However, whenever I start up my computer again, it breaks and I have to do the fix.

Does anybody know how this is happening or how to fix it once and for all? Also, it is saved in a new Program Files directory (Program Files2) because the first Program Files directory never stopped asking for admin access (I am admin) and it would not allow me to do anything with that Program Files directory, and the broken one contains some Steam files in it. These files are in my separate storage drive (Z:). My system files are on my smaller (C:) drive.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate.

texts: How does Fork work with PowerCharge-on-Crit work?

texts:
The questin is about Projectiles caused by the Fork-support-gem: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Fork

Will projectiels caused by Fork either have a

unique crit, (so they could crit when the original didn't crit)
shared Crit, (so they crit when the original spell did crit)

We have PCoC equipped: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Power_charge_on_crit

So the big incentive:
Can these new Projectiles by Fork cause a Power Charge? Thus there was faster gain of Power Charges.


texts: How to assign players in MC to a scoreboard team automatically when they join?

texts:
I am yet again needing some help with making my Minecraft: Hunger Games map and in order to teleport each player to their podium, I set up a group of 24 command blocks setting them to teleport each team to each podium, for example:

/tp @a[team=P1] x y z, /tp @a[team=P2] x y z

But what I need is something to automatically assign a person when they join the server to a team, but each person must join a different team and I mustn't have two people in the same team.
Any suggestions on how I may accomplish this?


texts: What causes a brick to blow away perpendiculars?

texts:
I've noticed that most of the time, in Bejeweled Blitz, a 4-block match create a bomb which blows up the 8 positions around it. However, occasionally, similar (or perhaps the same?) 4-block matches create a brick which -- when matched -- "zaps" all the bricks perpendicular to it in both X and Y dimensions (causing a major chain reaction in the process).

What causes the latter effect? How can I use it to my advantage?

I got and installed Steam a few months ago in my system drive. And then I got a backup of Dota 2 and installed it. It was fine till a month ago before my lap top got broken.
With passing problems and finally getting my new pc and recovering a small amount of my past laptop data I found out that my Steam client has been removed.

Now the problem is that I have my Dota game folder (it's not the backup file) but I don't have my Steam client and I should reinstall it.
After that am I gonna be able to play Dota again? Or should I download it from the beginning?
It may not be an important thing in developed countries but in mine it is.
12GB is a huge amount for downloading!


texts:
I might need a little hand-holding here. I have two boys who bought an Xbox One on which they both use my Xbox/Microsoft account (I don't actually play, just used to set the console up for them) to play games (i.e. Fortnite).

I just created a Microsoft "Family" account, and created "Child" accounts for my sons, and would now like to get them set up so they can each log in to their own profile on Xbox, and play their respective games through their profile, and not the master "Family" profile.

How do I get this all set up so that they have their own profile (not sure about the Xbox gamertag versus the Fortnite name), and can play under the Family account and both have access to the Xbox Live subscription?

Can they both play under the master account and both have access to Xbox Live?
Can I transfer the "history" of their previous Fortnite gameplay to the oldest sons' new profile?
Is the Xbox gamertag the same as the Fortnite player name?

Goal:

Master Account (dad@example.com) - Holds Xbox Live Subscription, Gamertag "Dad1" (which is the original gamertag)

Son 1 (son1@example.com), Gamertag "Son1", Fortnite name "Son1"
Son 2 (son2@example.com), Gamertag "Son2", Fortnite name "Son2"


texts:
I started the game on Normal difficulty.

The manual says:

Easy – perfect for novice players (not only of The Witcher). At this level, game
elements are introduced gradually. Opponents cause less damage and Geralt
gains experience more quickly. During combat, additional signals help you click
your way through fluid attack sequences.

Medium – recommended for experienced gamers who are new to The Witcher.
Attack sequences are not assisted and click intervals are shorter. Opponents
have standard attributes and Geralt gains experience at a standard rate.

Hard – for highly experienced players. Monsters and other opponents
are significantly more powerful, click intervals are brief, and Geralt gains
experience more slowly. At this level, selected opponents cannot be defeated
without resorting to alchemy.

But I still get those red sword icons on my cursor to show me when to attack. How do I turn that off? :/


texts: Does Retaliation counts on blocked / mitigated damage?

texts:
As a guardian, I have some skills that might grant me retaliation, which is very good against burst classes.

The question is, if I "Block" (Aegis for example) an attack, will the other player still be dealt the damage that would have damaged me?

The wiki link says it does, but I'm not sure about it:

  Retaliation does not reduce damage taken by the affected player, but damages anyone   who hits them (even if the hit doesn't actually inflict damage; for example, if it is blocked).

In Subnautica, the primary method of progression is by scanning broken pieces of equipment that are lying scattered on the ocean floor. This unlocks various tech upgrades, which allow you to explore more and more of the map.

The game starts you off in the Safe Shallows biome, in which you can find some useful tech such as the Seaglide. However, I'm not sure where to go next. The next logical step seems to be to either the Kelp Forest or Grassy Plateaus, to find the Seamoth parts. After that I'm at a loss though.

Do I head straight to the Aurora to fix the radiation? Underwater islands for Cyclops parts? It doesn't feel like the game gives you a lot of direction, and considering the massive dangers of swimming in unknown territory... well, let's say I'd prefer to avoid any encounters with Reaper Leviathans for as long as I can.

TeamLiquid wiki (http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Mutalisk) tells:

  Due to their relatively slow acceleration, Mutalisks should be continually moved at full speed even when there is no harm in sight - this allows them to easily escape at full speed when defenders arrive.

How to do that?

I understand, you need to click continuosly "somewhere" to keep them "flying/moving", not only "flying/standing". But once you click any target they will shoot and stop. Isn't it? Or, immediately after 'shoot' command you need to stack another command "move away" with 'Shift'-click? Or without shift click?

texts:
I have been playing SMAC on and off since it was released almost 20 years ago.  Every few years, I play for a few months, then move on to something else, but I always come back.

I think that I long ago found "a winning formula" and now repeat it without knowing why.

The salient part is that I early on drill a borehole and an aquifer near each city. After a while, I will be getting all of my money, food, etc from satellites, so I turn the rest of the landscape over to forests, plus lost of rivers.

I have a separate question about rivers (upvoted, but no comments or answers).

This one concerns covering 95%+ of the landscape with forest. Am I doing anything wrong? Are there any disadvantages or negative effects?


texts: Under what conditions does Malthael drop legendary pieces or plans?

texts:
After first beating Malthael in Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls, I received 3 legendary drops.

Reaper's Wraps
Reaper's Fear
A legendary pair of boots that dropped probably because I was lucky.

While I'm fairly certain that the boots were a random drop, I don't think I could get as lucky to get Reaper's Wraps and Fear without there being a method to their drops.

Are all of these drops random? Do you always get the crafting material with the plan? I think that the Reapers items only drop upon killing Malthael, but I killed him again and I did not get any legendaries.

How can I get more of these legendary drops?

The main menu also only had words and a whole bunch of little squares with no colored like it should have.

So my question is: Are the measurements in feet or meters?

texts:
In Skyrim, after beginning the "Battle for Whiterun" and exiting the Palace of the Kings, the courier runs up to me and delivers a Letter of Inheritance. He says, "Here is a letter and a lot of gold - oh, and, sorry for your loss".

However, the letter is blank! All it says is "In the name of the Jarl" and nothing else. I feel like there should be more, but I can't be certain. I'm afraid that after the Lydia running away incident after I got married to someone else (read my other question for more details), she seemed very emotionally unstable/upset, and that maybe when discovering that I had chosen to battle Whiterun, it was too much for her and she committed suicide! That would be terrible!

Is this a bug or is the letter supposed to be blank? Did Lydia commit suicide? I cannot figure out if there is supposed to be a mystery or if this is just a game bug.

Playing WoW I went to outland at level 58 , as some guides recommend. Similarly wiki says that I should get like 190 more XP there than in Azeroth. But all this doesn't work for me somehow.

For example I killed 59 quest mob and get 352 XP.
Meanwhile according to those formulas, and taking into account bonus 10% XP, which I see at the top right, I must get:

 (58*5+235)*(1+0.05*(59-58))*110% = 606.375 XP.

So why I didn't get all those XP?

P.S. I have counted that 352 XP is exactly what I get if 1. I would be in Azeroth, 2. I would not have those 10% XP bonus.


texts:
My character just died. He was the head of his dynasty. But when he died, I was surprised that my new character (his son) was no longer head of the dynasty. Instead, the head of a cadet branch which split off from his house became the new dynasty head.
Here are some more details about the structure of the dynasty. The founding house was already extinct at the start of the game, but he was the head of the first and only cadet branch (the one with the non-divided coat of arm). Over the course of the game, two cadet branches split off from that house. Now the hierarchy looks like this:
Founding House (extinct since the beginning of the game)
    - My House (used to be head, but isn't anymore)
         - Cadet Branch A (now the head)
         - Cadet Branch B

Why did that happen? And is there some way to get back the head of dynasty position to the player-character? My goal in this playthrough is to grow my dynasty renown, so I really would want to keep playing as the dynasty head.


texts: Is it possible to get the best ME3 ending without Live Gold membership?

texts:
I'm playing with XBox360, no XBox Live Gold membership. 2nd-hand game, but there was free download of EA online pass, so I just redeemed that (but of course can't play multiplayer without Gold), and have the account successfully linked at N7 HQ.

In the game, I am currently at the point just before the end game phase starting with the assault on Cerberus space station and the Illusive Man, with total military strength ~5600, and the default readiness 50%.

While carefully avoiding spoilers, I've managed to read that I need effective military strength 5000 to get the best ending, so I'm like half the way there, and not many uncompleted quests.

Questions, considering current date and details above, in order of importance:

Is the 5000 point requirement true? (And yes, I realize it doesn't buy me much, but I consider it a bit like missing last page of a book I've been reading since ME1 came out...)
Is it possible to reach the best ending in single player only? Briefly, how? Like, is there some part of the game I can grind to get it?
Based on my own research, it seems I could buy Mass Effect: Infiltrator for Android, and get galactic readiness up by that. Now the question is, will it work in practice? That is, can I really get enough military strength and readiness rating, considering where I am now? Can I do it without in-app purchases on top of the game price itself?
If I get a Live Gold pass, can I actually play the online multi-player still, find other players available for play with a newbie, when it's been so long since the game was released? How much online play time would it require to get to my goal?


texts: Being the only support , should I ward top and bot lanes at the same time?

texts:
I'm not sure where to ward when I end up being the only support in my team. I usually buy them at the start and every time I can after that, only putting them in my lane, both on the rune (top or bot) and the jungle, or both at the same time if I can.

After I give one ward to anyone going the opposite lane, should I roam to that lane to ward? should I get one and put one on the courier? should I tp just to ward?

I feel like most of them are making me lose time in laning, and the courier option is complicated to remember and communicate in a pub. Is it neccessary to make the effort? or should a team survive the laning phase with only 1 lane properly warded and the other warded from time to time?

I have joined the Steam Trading Card Beta group, and have gathered 3 cards from CS:GO and FTL. When I open my inventory and try to click "Sell," the option is greyed-out. It says that since I recently changed my password, I can't use the marketplace until 2013-06-27.

However, the current date of me posting this is 2013-06-28, a day after I was supposed to be able to use the marketplace. Why can't I sell my cards?

I tried restarting Steam, but to no avail.


texts: Is it possible to get more than one mystery box in one run?

texts:
Every time I play, I can't get more than one mystery box in one run (top score 1.5m).

Is it even possible?


texts: Does Reinhardt gain ultimate quicker when blocking opponents?

texts:
I saw a youtube video where Reinhardt does nothing and somehow his ultimate goes up quickly. Once it's up he kills 3 enemies at once.

I forgot the URL but here is another one.

I wonder why the ultimate goes up quickly?

Maybe because he blocks a lot? His shield gets destroyed a lot of times.


texts: Does covenant rank progression reset on starting a new game cycle?

texts: I've been playing offline and decided to start the long and arduous grind for the various spells and rings associated with covenants. I decided to cash in on a few once I got ten of each of some of the covenant items. However, all this repetitive slaying of the same enemies is wearing on my sanity, but I'm not sure if my covenant rank progression carries over to new game +. Does it carry over my rank? Does it carry over the exact amount of items I've offered?


texts: What is the advantage of the wilderness farm?

texts:
The 1.1 update brought 4 alternative farm map layouts, each focusing on a different skill: whereas the standard farm focuses on farming, the forest farm focuses on foraging, the hill-top farm on mining, the riverside farm on fishing, and the wilderness farm on combat.

These alternate maps also provide other advantages compared to the standard farm in exchange for farming space, such as being able to fish on the farm what you'd normally have to go to town for, or unique weeds and ores. However, I can't seem to find a unique advantage for the wilderness map, which not only has less space for farming, but also has monsters spawn during the night.

Is there any advantage to the wilderness farm, or is it meant to be some kind of "hard mode"?

I have a question about permission nodes in Bukkit. I want to give my moderators the ability to define and redefine their own regions but not regions that they are members of. I found WorldGuard's permission nodes here. If a permission node has a child node, do I have to include the parent? For example ...

Do I do this and include the worldguard.region.redefine permission

- worldguard.region.define
- worldguard.region.claim
- worldguard.region.redefine
- worldguard.region.redefine.own

Or should I do this and not include the worldguard.region.redefine permission

- worldguard.region.define
- worldguard.region.claim
- worldguard.region.redefine.own

If I give them the worldguard.region.redefine permission will it also give them the worldguard.region.redefine.member permission?
