texts: What does affect how fast you are spotted by enemies?

texts:
From Skyrim and Oblivion that brightness and the weight of your armor have a big influence on how quickly you were spotted by an enemy or a mere house inhabitant - especially while you were sneaking.

However, in Fallout 4 I did not notice much consistency during sneaking. Examples:

My armor's weight was often different → no difference recognized.
Light source of the surrounding was often different → no difference recognized
My crucial experience which lead me to create this question: The Torchlight, which is activatable with long pressing of TAB, seems to have no influence at all. In some cases there was just a corridor, I had the torchlight turned on, but the enemies (mainly raiders or looters, humans by any means with some basic intelligence) didn't find or see me although they recognized that someone entered the area.

The only thing which clearly seems to have an influence is at opening the fire: Without silencer the enemies are able to spot you much quicklier.
That's the reason why I primariy use a silenced pistol.

So, those are my experiences. Might any friend of sneaking out there have facts for those expierences? Does the companion also take a role here maybe? Or Am I really true and there wasn't put much effort into the sneaking/spotting system, what I can't imagine?


texts:
I'm currently playing through X3 : Terran Conflict, and am wondering how I would be able to unlock all the starts, without having to unlock them manually.

I'm on a Mac, running the latest version of El Capitan. I have found numerous ways to do this on Linux, and Windows with regedit, but OS X doesn't have an equivalent.

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

texts: The graphics in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2010 are too dark. How do I fix this?

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 integrated graphics subsystem

I have installed Hot Pursuit 2010. The game is running but the screen is so dark. It seems like I'm racing at night. Is this a problem with my built in graphics card?

texts: Can someone clarify how Spot Pass on the 3DS works?

texts:
I'm a little confused by how Spotpass works- this is in specific reference to how the Puzzle Swap pieces are now available through Spotpass, not just Streetpass.
So they will show up if you touch other folks playing a game together online like Mario Kart? I notice those people normally show up in your Mii Plaza even though you can't use them for Find Mii or anything (at least not before).
I think MK is the only game I currently have that I can connect with other people online with (I don't have that many 3DS games).

texts: Which strategy to follow at the beginning of Colonization?

texts:
Coming from Civilization IV I should say that Colonization is a bit different, and I have some difficulties to understand which approach should I follow at the beginning (first 200 hundred years).

Should I try to build many settlements immediately or should I build one or two at maximum?
Which behavior should I take with the natives? They surprised with attacks that I do not expected many times...
Should I always accept tax raising and tax demands or could I say no sometimes?
Should I trade with natives or other country or it is better take goods to Europe?

Any other hints is well accepted.


texts:
I have been playing the Priest hero for some time now, and I try to analyse most of the games played. But one thing that I struggle with in a lot of games, is 4 attack minions on the enemy side of the board.

The Priest has a lot of control cards, such and the Shadow Word cards. But none for handling 4 attack minions. This also counts for the card Shadow Madness.

How can I as a Priest, effectively handle enemy minions with an attack of 4?


texts: In what ways can I reduce bleed's duration?

texts:
According to the wiki,

Bleed's duration can be affected by following modifiers:

Ailment duration
Bleeding duration

My question is, what sources of reduced ailment duration and reduced bleeding duration exist out there?
I'm running a Flicker Strike Slayer, using the unique items The Red Trail and The Golden Rule to maintain Frenzy charges, along with the Slayer node Endless Hunger to prevent the bleeds I constantly inflict on myself from killing me.  However, I've encountered a major issue:  Endless Hunger only protects me from bleed damage as long as I'm leeching, and I've found that my bleed procs are outliving my overleech stacks.  This is obviously a big deal, since the moment I lose my "immunity" to bleed from leeching, I instantly die.
The bleeds I inflict on myself via The Golden Rule are reflected versions of the ones I inflict on enemies, meaning that reductions to the duration of bleeds I inflict on enemies will also reduce the duration of the bleeds I inflict on myself.  However, I know of only one source so far -- the Unique gloves Haemophilia. Are there any other sources of reduced bleed/ailment duration out there?


texts: How to get a Gem bag in multiplayer BG:EE with a full party?

texts:
In Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, a recruitable NPC named Neera possesses the only "Gem Bag" in the game. I am playing a game with a friend of mine, each of us controlling 3 characters. We would really like this gem bag.

In single player, getting Neera to join your party is how you can get the bag. Then you can dismiss her and regain a previous NPC companion. However, in multiplayer, it doesn't seem possible to recruit a custom character you've dismissed previously -- attempting to talk to them yields no conversation. Thus, if we dismiss one of our characters, we cannot get him/her back.

How can I regain a custom party member in BG:EE multiplayer such that I can effectively steal Neera's gem bag?


texts: Xbox One Controller - Model 1537 Torx T6 does not fit

texts:
I was asked by my friend to clean his Xbox One controllers. He's got two controllers included with console, and one controller bought later. They got dirty during years of operation.
I wanted to clean underside of buttons, but I found a problem - I cannot undo the screws on the motherboard!
All the pages about disassembling Xbox One controllers say you need Torx T8 security for the outside screws (that's true) and T6 for the motherboard.
I cannot undo the screws on the motherboard, therefore I cannot get under the buttons to clean them.
Looks like T8 is too big and T6 has got some slack, so maybe I need T7 to remove those screws? (Pic related)
I just read, that I've got two controller models.
Model 1708 was easy to disassemble - just like in all online tutorials.
Model 1537 just cannot be disassembled using T6 screwdriver.
Does T7 fit on model 1537? Or is there other way to remove those screws?

texts: Is the amulet of articulation the only armored necklace in the game?

texts:
I received the amulet of articulation when I became Guild Master and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was armored (9 points is a good rating when it could have been 0!) in addition to having a kicka** enchantment on it.

However, during fights, I like to change my armor to something stronger, and I would like to know if there's an available enchant-able armored necklace anywhere else in the game. I found the ancient nord amulet in the Jarl's longhouse in Falkreath, but it neither had any armor points nor was it enchant-able...


texts:
Sometimes, one of my colleague comes around to play the game on my system. Yesterday, he finished the mission Shoot the messenger. He chose not to kill Noore. A cutscene followed where Noore cuts herself, and drops down to the wild animals. She died and we finished the mission.

Afterwards, we went around roaming the city. A bit later, I noticed that another of "Golden Path" mission is available around the map. Heading on there, lo and behold; it was the same mission. I thought that maybe we didn't save the game or maybe there was some bug. We went back to the arena; the whole chase, fights, sabotage etc. later; we again chose not to kill Noore.

And yet again, there was still the same mission available to us. This third time, I had had to kill Noore.

My question is: Was it really a bug? As far as I can understand from reading the walkthrough, it doesn't mention the player to actually choose to kill her.

texts: Mouse problem with dual monitors on Macbook Pro

texts:
I play Dota 2 on my left monitor and whenever I drag my mouse to the far right of the screen, my right monitor picks up on it (I see the cursor on the right screen for <1 seconds) and it lags my game for a fraction of a second.

This doesn't happen with Starcraft 2, so I am confused as to why it happens with Dota. I have tried all the different video settings as well as inputting the command

dota_mouse_window_lock 1 in the console and launch options, but to no avail.

How can I fix this mouse tracking issue?

texts: Why Kalista can't bind champions after the first minutes?

texts:
There was a game with a noob player trying Kalista.

The player never paid attention to the item until I realised for like 15 minutes of the game, then I told him to try binding me.

When the player tries to bind, the sound comes out but not the ritual.

As a matter of fact I remember that it happened with me before: it failed many times, no success.

Is this a known bug? Are there any other requirements?

My best laser shoots 2 bullets at a time. The enemy rooms have no oxygen, so any teleportation for a sabotage would lead to the death of my crew.


texts: How exactly do I install Minecraft Mods and what is Forge?

texts:
I'm having a really, really hard time figuring out how to install mods on Minecraft. I've looked everywhere I can think of for help but the information is almost always outdated or unhelpful.

I've seen on several sites about the use of something called Forge. The Mod I want to use requires 1.6.4 Forge and I have both Forge and the Mod folders sitting in my downloads folder.

I haven't installed any kind of mods for any game prior to this and I have little clue to the technical side of Minecraft, so please keep this in mind when you give me an answer please!

texts: Bluetooth Audio Streaming from Mac/PC to DualShock 4

texts:
Is it possible to stream audio output from a PC/Mac (I myself use a Mac) to the speaker or headphone jack on a Sony DualShock 4 controller over Bluetooth? I have done some digging around the Web and come up with little to nothing so far, but I would be thrilled if anyone can find a way to do this.

Interestingly, however, when I hold down the PS and Share buttons to pair my DS4 with my Mac, THREE devices appear on the list of available Bluetooth devices in System Preferences (see screenshot).

I can pair with the first of the three, called "Wireless Controller" and bearing a standard Bluetooth icon, and use the DS4 as a game controller (albeit with no rumble, no audio input or output of any kind, no LED, and no trackpad) normally. I cannot connect to the second listing at all, but when I try to pair with the third listing, said listing shifts above the gray line dividing paired and unpaired devices and says "Connected" while still displaying the black-and-white loading pinwheel (although nothing else happens during that time period.) After about a minute, the "Connected" message changes to "Pairing Failed" and the loading pinwheel is replaced with a yellow caution sign. Also curiously, each time I try to connect with any one of the three, all three of the "Pair" buttons are grayed out rather than just that one. Once I successfully pair with the "Wireless Controller" listing, the other two disappear.

I do not have cloth to make a bow, and I had no luck to find wolves or bears that I could just charge. What are the most effective ways of hunting animals that run? I also know that you can throw the spear, but my aim is terrible, unless he is about 2-3 meters away

I've been playing a lot of support Tresh lately, and I'm wondering how much should I put myself in danger for a soul?

I'm the kind of Thresh player that goes for every soul that it's not dumb to go get (by not dumb I mean not jumping in a fight or diving a tower for it) but sometimes I do things like cancel a recall or extend to go get one.

So should I not focus on getting souls, or should getting souls be kind of a priority?

texts:
In FTL the player can generally leave a sector before the rebel fleet makes it absolutely necessary to jump to the next sector.

Often it can be a good strategy to spend a few extra jumps in a sector gathering resources because the next sector is usually slightly more difficult.  But a player could be in a hostile sector and want to spend more jumps in the next less hostile sector.

Does leaving a sector early give the player more time in the next sector?

Or does the rebel fleet counter reset for each sector after a jump to a new sector?

texts: Is there a term for games with overly precise controls?

texts:
There have been a bunch of recent games that feature controls that feature overly precise controls, for the sake of humor, challenge, or both. The player typically controls individual muscles or body parts rather than simply pressing buttons to perform actions. Such games include:

Surgeon Simulator 2013
QWOP
Probably Archery
Ampu-Tea
Toribash

Is there a term specifically for this type of game?


texts: Is there a limit to the number of vehicles I can store in my garage?

texts:
Courtesy of Steam's wallet abusing summer sale, I am now hooked on the best sandbox game of 2011: Saints Row The Third.  Or, as my friends call the game: the reason respawn won't come hang out with us tonight.

In any case, I love the garage mechanic as compared to the GTA series.  Specifically, I love the fact that you can store a lot of vehicles at once in SR3, as opposed to the GTA method of storing just whatever the heck you can cram in the garage.  But I also love that, once I pimp my ride, it's always available for me at any garage I own, even if I leave it somewhere.  This got me wondering if there is an upper limit to the number of cars that I'm able to store in my garage or if, much like the Tardis, it's really a lot bigger on the inside than the outside.

So, how many rides can a ride pimper keep, after a ride pimper pimps his rides?


texts: Is there any way to transfer save data to a PS3 without overwriting the original save data?

texts:
A while back, my old PS3 died. Recently, I got a new PS3 and started playing some games on it. Eventually, I'm going to see what I can do about getting someone to fix up the old PS3 so that I can get all of the old save data off of it. Problem is that I don't know if I'll be able to keep the save data that I have on my new PS3.

The only solution that I can think of is saving the save data from my new PS3 online through PS+ and then putting it back in. However, I'm worried that it'll overwrite the save data that's currently on the PS3, so one way or another, I'll end up giving up one set of save data for the other.

Is there any way that I can keep my old and new save data on one console?

The game is pre-loaded on the machine and didn't come with a download code, cartridge, or e-shop code/receipt/whatever.

If I wanted to swap over to the newer 3DS I bought, would I just have to switch over the SD card or is there some special way to get my Animal Crossing to the new system?  I was told there is a way but it'd wipe my Animal Crossing save - which is not an option I'm going to even consider.

texts: How can I easily back up my Wii U saves/games?

texts:
I'm spoiled by being able to back up all of my save/game data on my PS3, PC, Vita etc, so I'm a little concerned that there isn't a straight up "back up all the things" option in the Wii U settings. I've heard some icky backup suggestions like manually copying files.

However, since you can move games/their saves over 100% to an external source (which I should then be able to back up), it seems like if all my game/save content is on an external device I should be able to back up that device and keep all my content, right?

So if all my content is on an external drive can I really back it up? Can anything but the Wii U read Wii U formatted external media (it'd probably be an HDD)? If I "restore" the external drive's contents can my Wii U still read the restored contents? And...least likely, if something happens to my Wii U, will I be able to use my external drive's content in any way on a new Wii U system?

So who is she?


texts: What happens when you solve the second Maze/Tower puzzle?

texts:
There's a "castle" with two areas, both of which contain four mazes. In between the areas is a tower with a laser.

On top of that tower, there are two puzzles. The first requires the solutions to the first area an actives the laser. To solve the second puzzle, you actually don't seem to need to have solved the mazes in the second area (although I have). I've solved this second puzzle on top of the tower, but I didn't notice any effect of solving this.

So, does solving the second puzzle on top of the tower trigger anything?

BTW, I didn't notice any effect of having solved the fourth puzzle in the second area (the puzzle with two "L" pieces). Did it enable the second tower puzzle?

texts: How can I cancel a channel or cast that's already in progress?

texts:
One of the things I love about TSW's combat is how mobile it is -  you can cast basically anything with a cast time on the move.

One of the things I don't love is that sometimes, I'll be halfway through a cast that slows my movement speed, like Safety Off, and then there will be fire, and I will need to not be in the fire, and getting out while that cast is running can be challenging. Worse still is what happens sometimes when I'm tanking, when I'll be a quarter second in to a long channel like Brandish, when suddenly a mob will do something that I need to respond to with an Impair or a Taunt in order to ensure the survival of myself and my group.

In past MMO's, the easy solution to this would be to jump, but jumping doesn't cancel Brandish (for example), and many other abilities. Using an active dodge (double tap direction) works for the former example, but the cooldown is prohibitive to it being a truly adequate solution.

Is there any other way I can cancel a cast currently in progress in order to cast something else, or simply move faster? Is it something I can keybind?

texts:
Playing as a soldier, air-strafing to the left is easy - all you need to do is shoot to the right, jump and hold the crouch button while turning left.

On the other hand, strafing to the right seems to mess up all the time. I suspect that this could be because the soldier's rocket launcher is on his right shoulder so shooting to the left in order to begin air strafing to the right is awkward.

texts: What does the "Weapon Damage: X%" skill statistic actually mean?

texts:
Some skills list "Weapon Damage: X%" as one of their stats, for instance in the second circled area in this screenshot:

What does it mean? Does it mean every attack with the skill deals an additional percentage of the weapon I'm currently wielding?

If so, do other traits of the weapon, besides damage, also apply? For instance, will a weapon which reduces the target's armor on every hit also make the skill reduce it? Will a weapon generating mana on every hit also do that when using the skill?

What happens when I'm dual-wielding weapons? Should I strive to wield just one powerful weapon instead of two weaker one to maximize spell damage?

And does the weapon attack speed make any difference? Should I aim for higher-damage over higher-DPS weapons if I want to maximize skill damage?

Finally, the first circled part apparently shows the effect of the magic ability on this skill. But I thought the magic ability also affects every weapon's magic damage. Does this mean the magic ability modifier is actually applied twice to this skill, once directly and once indirectly via weapon damage?

I'm playing Age of empires with my friends, and I have a question if one of them cheating - the Red player, who also won. He always uses Persian units and build lots of elephant units.

Although we did not check Allow Cheats, his economy score is too high as shown in the first picture; the score components are in the second.

Any ideas?

texts: Are multi attribute outfits garbage and only useful for recycling?

texts:
(This question is regarding survival mode.)

As we know most of the outfits we find are multi attribute outfits, e.g. the legendary Minuteman Uniform that has S+2, P+2, I+2, A+2.

I have always considered them, no matter if normal, rare or legendary, to be pretty garbage only good for recycling to get junk. Most of the time you want one attribute to be as high as possible for e.g. production rooms, workshops or E for leveling. As far as I know for finding items on expeditions P is most important, so I would still prefer a P+5 Sturdy Vault Suit or a legendary P+7 if I have it.

The only scenario I can think of is for finding junk where survival is the only concern and the total amount of SPECIAL increases the survivability against during events and their SPECIAL attribute checks. But I am not sure if this is how it works.

So is there any reason to keep and use multi attribute outfits or should I throw them in the grinder as soon as I get them?

The commands that I have tried so far...

does not work because it checks if "carrot"-pig exists.
Having a pig with no tag "carrot" between the armor stand and the "carrot"-pig will just result to test passed.
execute as @e[type=armor_stand] at @s as @e[type=pig,limit=1,sort=nearest] if entity @s[tag=carrot] run <command>
might have worked but it changed the selector.


texts: Does the current progress towards the next skill level carry over when training?

texts:
In Skyrim, you can level up your skilly 'manually' or by training. Each training session raises the level of the respective skill by 1. I'm wondering if this just raises my current skill level to the next full level with zero progression to the next level or if my current progress towards the next level carries over when training.

For example, let's say I have speech level 89 with the progress bar towards level 90 half full. I then use the master trainer to level up to level 90. I'm now level 90, but will my progress bar towards level 91 be completely empty or half full?

Side note: Same question, but for skill books?

texts: Will villagers breed if I trade with them but don't give them crops/food?

texts:
Part of a villager breeder I'm making requires a lot of carrots to move in a square formation around villagers, and from some tests I've done with designs, the villagers are going to go through the carrots quickly. I'm planning on making a big farm for carrots for them, but it's all going to be a big hassle.

The Minecraft wiki says:

  Villagers do not have a food item; they will breed of their own accord (and in their own time) depending on the available houses, or at least "registered doors", (See the village page for full details.) and whether or not they have bread, carrots, potatoes, or beetroots in their inventory, or have been trading with the player.

It says whether they have the crops or have traded with the player, so does that mean I can trade with them once and not have to worry about giving them food?

texts: How does the shield of Sentry's Black Hole Sun ability work?

texts:
I'm trying to understand the details of Sentry's first ability. How does the shield of the Black Hole Sun ability work?
For example:
Shield  20%
Shield Health   600
Damage Conversion   65%
Maximum Damage  540

What are all these numbers? How much damage will I actually receive from an attack, and how much will Black Hole Sun's damage increase? Please, give a general formulas, or values of damage received and BHS damage increase for the following values of an applied attack damage: 100, 500, 1000, 5000.

P.S. The main reason to ask the question is that it feels like you can jump into shots and take a tons of damage with BHS shield receiving ~0% of it, so probably both shield and damage conversion reduces the damage? But how exactly? I would imagine that it is something like dmg*80%-min(dmg*80%,600)*65%, but I'm not even sure how I can test it.

texts:
I see a lot of Protoss going blink early, maybe due to HuK's popularity and his innovative blink play. I usually see twilight council after the first gateway. Usually they will have blink researched before they even begin attacking. I feel that this is TOO early but I am not at the level to be criticizing pro build orders. When I do a blink rush, I get the twilight after my 2nd or 3rd gateway and blink is ready during my first engagement with 9-12 stalkers.

The thing is, delaying blink as long as possible gives you room to adjust your build depending on what you scout. The moment you plop down the twilight council, you're getting pretty committed to an expensive early tech. With regards to tech, isn't the rule of thumb to delay it as long as possible until you can actually use it?

In other words, the way I see it, the pros are getting blink almost a minute before they actually need it.

The only reason I can think of to have blink ready before the start of the battle is to get around a wall or forcefield, either to force an engagement when you know they're not ready or to get instant vision of high ground for warping in. Even though that's extremely risky, the pros do it successfully. I don't :)

There are of course many other uses of blink, including:

Sneak cliff jump into opponent's base. For this though you either need a hallucinated air unit or an observer, which is irrelevant at this stage of the game.
Blinking back injured units. But this is also not very useful so early. This blink-back micro is not really necessary if your stalkers have a clear path to retreat. At this point in the game you can't have many stalkers, and you can just walk them back just as easily as you can blink them back. Later in the game when you have so many units that stalkers are clumped up and there's no clear path to walk backwards, THEN blink-back becomes effective. Yes, there are nice tricks with blinking to low ground or around buildings that aren't possible without blink, but this is a good reason to have blink ready DURING the engagement, not before.
Retreating or chasing. Again, this is not something that will be necessary at the start of your engagement.

So is that risky forcefield jump the only reason people get such early blink? What makes HuK's or Kiwikaki's blink rush builds better than mine?

texts: Luring goblin ambushes into my trap zone

texts:
So I've been ambushed a couple of times by goblins, and each time I send out squads of dwarves to go and face them (two melee squads, spear and sword, and a single marksdwarf squad) on the open plain.

This results in more deaths than I would like, so I'm thinking of setting up a simple 'trap zone', maybe a hallway 1 tile wide lined with serrated disc traps, with a squad of dwarves at the end to finish off anything that does get through.

But I noticed that ambushers don't really approach the fort, they just sort of stand out there, taking potshots at passers by. Is there any way to lure them in so my traps can chew them up?

texts: Is there a way to see what the worker automation is up to?

texts:
The "automate worker actions" option seems to work well (most of the time), but is there a way to see what the automation is planning for my workers?

I prefer to keep the number of workers as low as possible to save on unit maintenance costs. My economic advisor still keeps suggesting that I keep making more workers, even though half of the ones I already have seem to be milling aimlessly around with nothing to do.

Is there a way to tell what the automation has in mind for each worker, so I can tell when I have too many workers?

There is the map icon ("I suggest you make a ... here"), but when you have several cities in a large empire, one small icon among the hundreds spread all over the world becomes a needle in a haystack. (And the "this unit is out of moves" message seems to be the same whether a worker is just in transit or has run out of improvements to make.)

Is there a simpler alternative?

My wife hasn't collected any of those final set of flames, though.

But when either of us

 go back to the brazier in the Howling Cliffs, we don't find Brumm :(

I'm less surprised that I can't. But I expected my wife's game to still allow that path?
Exactly what determines which path you're on, and is it possible to change it at all? (e.g. by editting the save file? I know there are programs that can analyse a save file and tell you what you should look at next, if you're "stuck")

For example,

Does the Ammo Conservation foundry upgrade apply to MECs?
Is there something in the MEC skill tree to help with this?

However, I'd like an official answer based on some sort of PvZ documentation to confirm my observations and guesses.

He got 4 legendaries in 3 runs and me got 0. Which was then his 15-20th in the whole game time.

Follow-up some time later with some of the more obvious symptoms of your teammates throwing the game: these are All Star AIs but they will stop jumping early (anticipating the ball) and you will be the MVP for the game more often (they'll have significantly fewer shots on goal).

Every now and then I find a book.

I can pick the book up.
I can carry the book around.
I can even read the book!

This book is called About Dwarves.

This appears to be lore from the game world.  There was also a humourous book on the first floor that listed the top five causes of death for Dwarves in the mines.

Aside from this entertaining and interesting trivia, is there anything else books can be used for?  Is there any reason for me to want to fill up one or more of my inventory slots carrying them around?


texts:
When I play Pokémon Y, I've noticed that the game disables stereoscopic 3D when not in combat; i.e. the green 3D LED is off and moving the 3D slider doesn't do anything.

Looking at the settings, I can see options to set the text speed (slow, normal, fast), but I can't find anything related to stereoscopy. Is it possible to enable the feature outside of combat, and how?

Is there anyway to make my cats be owned by me through the new launcher, like "force own" them?
I assume I have to use commands, but since it won't give me any game advantage, I don't consider it cheating.


texts: What are the pros and cons of flat vs. scaling runes?

texts:
With 80+ champions and more being added, and endless build possibilities, I know it's unrealistic to ask "which one of these is better" because there is no right answer. I assume that one is not flat out better than the other for all situations, otherwise there wouldn't be an option for both.

However, as someone new to the game, I'm unsure when I would want to use a flat rune over a scaling rune or vice versa. To that end, I am wondering the following:

There are several different runes that give either a flat bonus or a scaling bonus. For example, when looking at Tier 1 Marks, I see I have 2 options for AP runes:

Mark of Potency: 0.47 ability power.

or

Mark of Force: +0.08 ability power per level (1.44 at champion level 18)

So, a few questions. If these are too unwieldy to be answered in a single question, please let me know. I assumed that these are appropriate under the broader heading of my title, but if they would work better as separate questions, I'll split as needed.

Under what circumstances or with what build goals are flat runes
preferable to scaling runes and vice versa? Why?
Do these circumstances change based on what Tier of runes you are
working with (1, 2, or 3)?
Am I wrong about there not being a type that is better than the
other at certain levels? Are there runes which are, by general
community consensus, clearly better or worse than their flat or
scaling counterparts (i.e. scaling mana regen at Tier 3 being
clearly better than flat mana regen at Tier 3)?

texts: Advantages of using sounds in League of Legends

texts:
I'm wondering if there are other (if any) possible advantages of using sounds than disabling audio completely.

I just bumped into a Reddit post :

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/2i0nd1/you_can_hear_the_recall_of_enemies_even_if_you/

And it tells that you can hear the recall of an enemy in a nearby bush, which was true.

Another I can tell is certain champs (like Ezreal and Jinx) are usually saying something when casting [their ult], so you know you can dodge it if you'll listen.


texts: What is the benefit of launching a satellite "a few days before the monthly report"

texts:
I've seen this hint in the game as well as on this site and I've been wondering if there is any specific advantage to launching satellites closer to the monthly report rather than any time during that month.

The way I see it, monthly maintenance costs are taken out during the reports (correct me if i'm wrong), so regardless of when you launch it during the month it would cost the same.

Is the benefit of holding on to them longer simply a safety net in case some countries go into the red during that time?

I have finished the game on insanity but forgot to save Jack so need to go back and do that, but don't want to to the whole game again, I just want to get the achievement.
However, when the new DLC comes out with the extra bits on the end, I also don't want to have to redo the whole game just to see the extra ending.

Too scared to try it in case I stuff everything up

UPDATE: so I bit the bullet and started a new game with my original shep and all is fine. Still have the original, unchanged. I just now have 2 saves with the same name, but the date is different so that's how I can tell them apart.
You can also change your appearance if you want, I just altered the hair colour slightly just so I can have a little difference. Will also use different gear. You start with all your stuff and points and can really kick donkeys. Insanity is a breeze now. Thanks for the answers folks.

texts:
In Dark Souls Scholar of the first sin. I have progressed to the shaded ruins when I reach the male scorpions den and went inside and fought the duo wielding swordsman I kept hearing this strange growling sound.

After I killed him and progressed through the area the sound continues at 5-7 second intervals for some reason it doesn't occur in Majula but where ever I go in game new areas, old areas and even areas with no enemies the sound continues.

It's getting really annoying because it drowns out other sounds that are really important like ticking from traps, skeletons shambling together, footsteps of a baddie running up behind me etc etc.

Does anyone know how to remove this?

I am playing on steam with a windows 7 PC.

texts:
There are a few chests in Cadence of Hyrule, perhaps always in dungeons but I don't remember for sure, where opening them offers you a choice of items. The first time I encountered one I was moving so fast that I didn't even see I was being offered a choice until it was too late. Another time, I had a choice between a hookshot, the Cane of Somaria, and I think a third option. I chose hookshot. Another one gave a choice between the Can of Somaria and poisoned arrows; I choice poisoned arrows.

At first I was worried that making this choice meant that the Cane would be unobtainable in my playthrough; but then I found a chest that just had the Cane in the Gerudo dungeon.

So how do these sort of items work? If I had chosen Cane from one of the "choose one" chests; would the chest in the Gerudo dungeon have had something different instead? Are there any items that it is impossible to get if you make the "wrong" choice at one of these chests?


texts: How do I get past the spinning blades of death in Raldbthar?

texts:
As part of the quest "Mourning Never Comes", I'm tasked with dealing with a problem in Raldbthar. Once I completed my objective, I noticed the dungeon continues further along.

I've gotten pretty far, but now I've come to a ramp that goes upwards and has two spinning blades of death on it: if I even so much as graze them, I die instantly.

Now, I know the rest of the dungeon is for a later main quest, "Discerning the Transmundane". But I was interested to see if I can just press on anyway, like I can do with other quest dungeons. I looked around online and in the official strategy guide, and the very "helpful" advice I've found is "avoid the blades because they'll kill you."

Is that it? Are the blades supposed to be a source of tedium, or is there a trick to getting around them (like, perhaps, a hidden lever to turn them off)? Or are they there to prevent me from continuing further until I have the appropriate quest?


texts: Visual Boy Advance Invalid or Not Recognized Save File

texts:
Today after an annoying problem with my PC I had to format it and reinstall everything.

Of course I made backup of all my files but, as always it seems that I lost something.

I use Visual Boy Advance, specifically a modification of it called VisualLink.  I saved my files regularly using the virtual Flash ROM the emulator provides to save "in game".

But now, after everything is done, all my files have been moved back, I was testing it and the save file is not recognized anymore.  It doesn't show a corrupted message, it simply would not recognize the saved data.

I'm not sure how to fix or workaround this.

The saved data was done after a lot of gaming time and I really don't want to have to do it again.  I appreciate your time.

texts:
I am trying to put a large (?) rocket into orbit, but I am still having problems which I believe are of aerodynamic nature. However, with the ever-changing model of aerodynamics in KSP (I'm using v1.7.0), much of the advice I read on this topic is either outdated or too simplified to be complete.

I have a four-stage rocket, with my payload consisting of the mobile processing lab an inline wheel and some scientific instruments in a bay.

I realize that a rocket like this is overpowered for a Mun outpost (as it's named), but for the sake of this question, please assume that I need this much δ-v for some other reason.

As I understand, the center of lift should be below the center of mass (gravity) and this is what I believe I achieved using wings.

I tried many other, but similar designs.
For example, I enclosed the thinner part of my rocket and the landing struts into a fairing. I also tried to use more wings, larger ones (like delta wings), put elevons on them, and tried different placement configurations (only on the main thruster in the middle or the boosters on the side etc.)

Inevitably, the end result is the same. As soon as I reach a couple of kilometers and around 300 m/s of velocity, my rocket starts flipping over uncontrollably. With some designs, it is also spins around its z-axis, but I was able to reduce or eliminate that.

This happens both when I control the rocket myself and when I use MechJeb to launch it, so it cannot be due to my poor flying skills.
The usual advice to "slap some fins on it" is also clearly not sufficient here. I also know that protrusions can negatively affect the flight performance of some rockets.

How can I successfully fly a rocket like this? Are there other factors apart from aerodynamics that contribute to my failure?

texts: Are there trade-offs to blunt vs sharp weapons?

texts:
There seem to be two general categories of melee weapons in Dying Light: blunt (bats, hammers, pipes, etc.) and sharp (knives, swords, cleavers, etc.).

Some sharp weapons have a trade-off of damage for an increased attack speed (ex. dagger), that is not quite what I'm talking about.
My question basically is: Given an average blunt weapon such as a bat, and a sharp weapon such as a sickle, what are the benefits of selecting one over the other?

It almost seems like blunt weapons wear down slower, but I could be imagining that. Sharp weapons can dismember, but blunt weapons can cripple body parts so those seem to basically cancel each other... Are there others?

This is despite the fact that I am not currently at war with any other empire, and I do have empires near my homeworld who dislike me.

What factors determine whether this mission can be taken, and once you get the answer "it looks like it is not possible", is it impossible to start the mission from then on?  Nothing I do seems to allow me to start it.

texts: When to (not) play Fable 3 in co-op mode?

texts:
This post suggests co-op mode has some serious issues that render the second player into a sub-important sidekick and involves some inconsistencies: The example in that post mentions the lack of a second set of Dweller clothings in the beginning which turns the "blend in" motivation absurd*. So are the issues mentioned (and possible other ones) bad enough to recommend not play co-op at all, or at least not during the start?

Since this sounds probably too subjective, let me rephrase the question:

  For two persons who have not played Fable 3 before, what restrictions of co-op mode should one be aware of, and which of them can be mitigated by temporarily playing solo?

texts: Do all Nintendo DS game cases have a GameBoy Advance cartridge slot in them?

texts:
I recently got into the mood for upgrading all my GBA games into Nintendo DS cases because they have that nice slot that fits them perfectly and look much better on the shelf. If you didn't know, it's nearly impossible to find authentic Nintendo DS cases on the Internet. Most of them are the cheap knock-offs that would be punctured given even the slightest bit of pressure applied to them (aka they're utter crap).

My brilliant plan was to just go to Amazon or eBay and find some truly terrible Nintendo DS games that sold for really, really cheap, buy them, take the manual, artwork, and game out of them and throw them away, and just keep the case. This would get me a case for $3 or $4 and a shitty game that will end up in the trash (I really want the case).

My problem is, I'm not 100% sure if all Nintendo DS cases have this GBA cartridge slot or just some of the cases. I'm under the assumption that as long as you get a Nintendo DS game (not DSi, XL, whatever) it will have that extra slot since the Nintendo DS is the device that actually supports playing GameBoy Advance games. However, I can't really find any verification anywhere.

Does anyone know for fact whether or not this is true? Do all Nintendo DS game cases (as in the case it comes in actually says DS, not DSi or 3DS etc) come with this extra slot? Or would I have to find a game that I know comes with that slot and just buy a bunch of that same game for cheap to salvage cases?


texts: Should I always wait for an open chest slot before going to a new battle?

texts:
I'd like to know if there is a sort of "accepted strategy" on whether or not it is worth it to keep battling to get crowns/trophies and miss out on chests (and the potentially sweet, sweet loot within) or is it better to be patient and only battle when I have an open chest slot.

I figured it may be best to wait since the game warns you about it if you try to start a battle without a chest slot, but maybe at a different number of trophies there is a different way to go about it (I am very low level).

I am aware I can spend gems on the chests to open them immediately, but I would rather not do that.

So, is it worth it to only battle with an open chest slot?  Or is it better to focus on gaining trophies/crowns and just keep plowing through the battles to my hearts desire, even if it means missing out on some chests?  (And does the method change at a higher level?)

I'm trying to build a destroyer with a human crew to round out my fleet by following this guide: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1913571-Naval-Fleet-to-counter-all-missions-with-gt-90-Chance (specifically fleet #1)

So far I'm 0 for 26 in building a destroyer with a human crew. Got the Murloc crew on the second try, and since then it's been everything but human. I would have thought the Murloc crew would be the tough one to get...

Does anyone know what the probabilities are for each of the crew types?

When I put in this command in a command block:

/scoreboard players set @e[type=Item] PigProgress 1 {Item:{id:319}}

It says:

  The dataTag does not match for c97c9605-6b59-44e8-bf24-aa2e46c9c746

Does anyone know why? The entity is a porkchop item.

texts: How does one obtain the "black" camo in BF3?

texts:
Playing around in Battlefield 3 I often see players (with a rank higher or equal to 42, I noticed) that wear a black suit that's very difficult to spot (i.e. a relatively long time and short distance before the orange triangle appears over the player's head).

Is it part of some expansion or does one obtain such camo at some rank? I can't find any clue about it.
