texts: How do I climb the Galata tower in 60 seconds?

texts:
When Ezio gets the hookblade in Constantinople, there is an optional objective to climb the Galata tower in 60 seconds. I have tried this quite a few times, but my best runs are still 5-10 seconds too slow.

I've basically just been following the route that Yusuf takes and mashing the hook-jump button whenever I'm moving vertically. It doesn't seem like I'm making any major time-wasting mistakes.

Do I need to take a different route from Yusuf? Or do I just need to follow him and somehow improve my hook-jump timing?

texts: Do projectiles released by melee weapons deal melee, ranged or magic damage?

texts: After the 1.2 update, there's a random Solar Eclipse event that causes hordes of powerful enemies to spawn. These enemies occasionally drop Hero's Broken Sword, which can be crafted with Excalibur and Night's Edge to create True Excalibur and True Night's Edge, then these 2 blades can be crafted with another Hero's Broken Blade to create the Terra Blade, the most powerful blade in the game. All 3 of these blades release energy projectiles when swung. Are these projectiles considered melee, ranged or magic damage for purposes of equipment bonuses and buffs?


texts: I can't raise any levies at all, is that a bug?

However, I can't raise any of my demesne or liege levies. All of the buttons to raise them are grey, even though my army isn't already raised. I can still declare war on people.

Is this a bug or is there a particular reason for this behavior that the game is not specifying?


texts: Fallout 4 crashes so hard it gives Steam a concussion

texts:
This has happened to me twice now - the first time I assumed it was just some weird fluke because this problem is bizarre. OS is Windows 10 FWIW.

Fallout 4 will freeze and I am unable to access the task manager to end the application (a black overlay from the game covers up the entire desktop - even though I can open the Task Manager using using Ctrl+Alt+Delete I can't actually see the running processes). Right clicking the Fallout icon -> close window does nothing. I have to force restart the computer in order to get out of this situation. This is annoying but I can live with it (Bethesda games, amirite?).

The problem is that when the computer boots up and I start Steam, Steam no longer thinks that Fallout is installed. The game still exists on disk and Windows recognizes that it's there, but Steam refuses to acknowledge it. I have to "reinstall" the game (essentially Steam verifies that all of the needed files are present). That is annoying. Even though I don't need to re-download and re-install the game, it still takes Steam between 5 and 10 minutes to check that the game is still present.

Any thoughts? If I can stop the freezing that would be great (losing progress in Survival mode through no fault of my own isn't what I would call fun) but I'll settle for Steam not suffering from short term amnesia.

Response to comment questions:

  is there any pattern to the crashes?

Not that I can tell. Happened again when entering VATS - that seems to be the culprit.

  What are you doing when it happens?

The last time it happened was when entering VATS during a Gunner attack on Sanctuary (e.g., VATS noise played, zoomed in, freeze). I don't remember what I was doing the first time.

  When did this start happening? Right after initial installation? Months later? Did you install some DLC or mod before it began?

Roughly a week and a half ago. No mods, but I do have Automaton, Wasteland Workshop, and now that I think about it, I was on the beta release for Survival mode. That might be relevant.

  What's the situation when the game begins operating again? Lose any saves?

The game itself appears to be undamaged, at least so far. No corrupted saves/lost data.

Many of the existing guides are from the start of the expansion and there have been tweaks over the patches where some specialization items can now be crafted by anyone.  It also doesn't seem like the special specialist abilities make a big difference in being able to craft HQ items.

So what remains special about each class's specialization?  What benefits would specializing in a particular disciple bring?

texts: What is the function to add a lore to a custom items in a custom loot table

texts:
Part 2:

So, I have created a custom fish that comes out of a custom loot table, and it took a while to get it to have a name. It turned out that there is a function called "set_name" and I could name the item. Now I want to add a lore to the item, however, I tried "set_lore" and it broke the loot table like before. (You Get Nothing From Fishing). So I need to know what the function is to add a lore to the object.

Here is the Fish Item (Working Without Lore):

{
  "type": "minecraft:fishing",
  "pools": [
    {
      "rolls": 1,
      "entries": [
        {
          "type": "minecraft:item",
          "name": "minecraft:tropical_fish",
          "weight": 1000,
          "quality": -1,
          "functions": [
            {
              "function": "set_nbt",
              "tag": "{CustomModelData:3}"
            },
            {
              "function": "minecraft:set_name",
              "name": {
                "text": "Bluegill",
                "color": "white",
                "italic": "false"
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Here is what I tried to add the lore with (Errors Out And No Fish For You):

{
  "type": "minecraft:fishing",
  "pools": [
    {
      "rolls": 1,
      "entries": [
        {
          "type": "minecraft:item",
          "name": "minecraft:tropical_fish",
          "weight": 1000,
          "quality": -1,
          "functions": [
            {
              "function": "set_nbt",
              "tag": "{CustomModelData:3}"
            },
            {
              "function": "minecraft:set_name",
              "name": {
                "text": "Bluegill",
                "color": "white",
                "italic": "false"
              }
            },
            {
              "function": "minecraft:set_lore",
              "lore": {
                "text": "Test",
                "color": "gray",
                "italic": "false"
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

So if anyone knows the magic Minecraft json function to add a lore, i would be very grateful to know it. :) Thanks!


texts: Is it possible to display output of /data from a command block?

texts:
I'm playing 1.14 and wanted to test some villager mechanics in a creative world. To help debugging I thought it'd be a good idea to constantly print the home/workplace information of the closest  villager, which is found in the Brain tag of the NBT data. So I wrote the following command:

/data get entity @e[type=minecraft:villager,limit=1,sort=nearest] Brain

And it works great:

So now I thought I could just put this in a command block and trigger it every second to have easy debugging. So I put this in a command block:

/execute as orlp at orlp run data get entity @e[type=minecraft:villager,limit=1,sort=nearest] Brain

However I don't get any output on triggering the command block. Even /gamerule commandBlockOutput true doesn't make it output anything.

How do I output the result of a data command ran in a command block to chat (or otherwise)?

texts: How can a non-soldier Shepard defeat the Harbinger on the Collector ship quickly?

texts:
In Mass Effect 2, there is a section where you are ambushed while on a floating platform within a Collector ship. While here, several waves of enemies engage you from a few sides starting on nearby platforms that attach to yours. Harbinger frequently "assumes direct control" of Collectors during these fights. The most troubling of these waves is probably the first one because Harbinger starts out very close to your team and you have basically no options to retreat. Thus, the only high-level strategy I can think of is to destroy Harbinger before he closes on my team.

On a difficulty other than the highest (Insanity, I think it is called) destroying him isn't a big deal for any class. However, I really only enjoy ME2 on Insanity.  As a soldier, selecting the upgraded assault rifle for your upgrade enables you to do sufficient damage to Harbinger that you can put him down before he reaches you. However, I haven't found a way for any other class to deal enough damage to Harbinger in that short space of time.  (This is the only part of the game where I have to tone the difficulty down for other classes.)

Assuming Insanity difficulty, and whatever party/armor/weapon* combination you'd like, how can a non-soldier Shepard and friends defeat Harbinger at this point in the game.

*While I own most of the DLC, I do not own any DLC that only grants weapon packs as they seem to be strictly better than the in-game weapons, and thus I consider using such DLC to be paying money to lower the difficulty (cheating.)

My objective is to, if possible, import everyone's waypoint data into the updated server setup.

If Marth counters the energy ball, his counter will hit Ike since they are standing close together. If Ike counters right before Marth's counter activates, would he counter Marth's counter hit and not take any damage, or do both counters hit?

texts:
My S key no longer rolls over with a number of seemingly random keys (Numbers work except for 5 and 6, most of the QWERTY keys work except for a, d, k and a few others).

It's a no-name Lenovo Black Silk USB keyboard, at least 5 years old.

This is rather frustrating because I use WASD layout and this didn't happen in the past. No other key is showing this problem.

Is this just the natural course of my keyboard degrading with age? Or is there any plausible way this was caused on the software side and is still salvageable?

Even when I constantly fire both guns at the tips of the turrets and use up all of both my Helios and other missiles, I'm only able to destroy at most three of them, and this is heavily dependent on whether or not my Helios missiles do 30% damage or 87% damage, influenced by a factor I do not understand. Is there something I'm missing here? How do I destroy all four of these beam turrets, and how do I inflict maximum damage with my Helios missiles to ensure this happens?


texts:
I'm a little confused as to how I'm supposed to gear up my follower since the installation of smart loot in Loot 2.0. My follower still has most pre loot 2.0 items because I have yet to find comparables that are rolling with the right affixes.

To be clear, I play a DH and so I used the Templar as my tank. I very rarely find items that roll with Strength because smart loot sees my DH and rolls Dex for me instead. With the use of the Enchantress I thought it would get better because I could replace Dex with Strength...but that's not true. It seems as though the Enchantress will only roll Dex for me too.

With the auction house down for good, no outlet for trading, and the installation of smart loot, it seems that gearing a follower has become almost impossible unless I want to jump on another character that uses strength and get items that way. I want to find items that I can use while I'm playing. How do I gear my follower post Loot 2.0? Do I have any options other than character jumping?

In comparison to other games the combat table in the Secret World seems to differ in many ways. So far it appears to be built up of the following possible outcomes to each attack:

Evade (miss)
Block
Glancing
Hit
Critical Hit
Penetrative Hit

However, I've also seen instances of multiple of these effects that I would not expect to see together occur, for example a "Glancing Penetration" or a "Critical Block" which do not seem to make sense.

Has anybody else put any thought into the way the combat table in the Secret World works and if so do we have any ideas on this yet?

How can I recover the pre-orbital stages of a spaceship in Kerbal Space Program? I'm trying to reduce my per-launch costs in the beginning of career mode.

texts: How to make this redstone circuit that displays a Minecraft creeper face using pistons if the lever is set to its on position thinner?

texts:
I've made a redstone circuit that displays a Minecraft creeper face using pistons if the lever is set to its on position, but would like the circuit to be thinner. I've tried such methods as using more redstone repeaters and changing some paths of the redstone wire, but none of the methods I've tried have worked. Here's a screenshot I took to show what the redstone circuit looks like (Please note the redstone runs underneath the block the lever is on for three blocks in a straight line, and I'm using Minecraft: Wii U Edition on a real Wii U, to help you help me here further):

I forgot to mention the lever must be in the same position, the redstone must be hidden under the lever, the contraption must look the same from the front, the mechanism must be able to be hidden by putting full height blocks around it. Also, you don't have to use the same exact same blocks as me, however; the creeper face uses Green Concrete.

texts:
So I recently discovered via this reddit post that upgrades should be adjacent to the thing they're upgrading (or other upgrades to it). You can see in the image below that the UI will color the border of adjacent upgrades but not ones sitting by themselves:

The post itself is a little unclear how much that helps, and suggests it gives them some sort of bonus, but has no details and is not 100% reliable. Are we sure it gives a bonus, or does the upgrade maybe just not work in the first place if it's not adjacent?

Recently I'd upgraded my jetpack, and while I didn't have a stopwatch out to time it, I wasn't noticing much difference. Then I looked at the text more carefully:

Is this implying that the upgrade won't work unless it's actually adjacent to the jetpack? If so, this seems problematic since when the game starts your jetpack already has things surrounding it and can't be dismantled or moved.

Overall I'm left very unclear on if upgrades must be adjacent to work, and if not, what kind of bonus they get when adjacent.

But, I have no idea what it relates to in-game.  Near as I can tell it doesn't have to do with headshots, because I recall doing this with pistols, which I do not think get damage bonuses for headshots.

So what does it mean when I lose my hat?  And, as a secondary question, do I get my hat back if I drink enough whiskey?


texts: Is there a way to increase inventory size in Diablo II?

texts:
I have owned Diablo II for a long time. That said, I have never actually given it the time that it deserves. I figured with the release of D3 coming quickly I would sit down and give it the old college try.

When I play games that involve collecting items dropped from slain enemies I must gather it all! This bandit has a worthless plate in his inventory? Thank you! So because of this I am having trouble with inventory management.

I understand that inventory management is "part of the game", but to that end I have too many potions and scrolls that as I start clearing a dungeon I can't pick up everything. It really bothers me to leave behind a sword or a belt. I just have so many potions and scrolls that I cannot pick up very much.

Is there any legitimate (not against ToS or EULA) way to increase my inventory space so I can carry more items?

texts: When can I leave a match and still have it count for stats and merits?

texts:
Most games in Titanfall 2 end with an escape sequence with no respawns.

I noticed that there is no warning message about this match counting as a loss for leaving early if you can no longer respawn.

Does this also mean you will receive merits (exp) and the game is counted towards your stats if you leave the match at this point? Or do you need to finish waiting till all players left / died?

And what happened to canon, original Alex Yu? Did he return to Earth resulting in infection?


texts: How can I retrieve my old Pokemon Moon save data?

texts:
I've put over 1000 hours into all pokemon games total and every single pokemon I caught was on moon. I bought the digital version on my 2ds and put all my time there.

I eventually needed more room so I bought a second SD card (16 GB) so I re-downloaded moon and started it up, thinking I could just eventually pokebank my pokemon back over. (Which is where I apparently messed up)

Now when I try to get back on the original save it tells me It doesn't match my "Current save". I called Nintendo and they basically said I'm SOL.

I own a DS and DSi action replay. (If that will help at all) Does anyone here know of a way to get my original save back over transferring the save over the computer ETC? Please I really need help.


texts: How to get the Ender Dragon Egg to the Overworld

texts:
I have traveled to the Ender "End" and beat the Ender Dragon at least 2 times. I have begun to notice that after killing the Ender Dragon, an egg appears near the Portal back to the Overworld. I guess it is the Ender Dragon egg, but when i hit it, the egg just "teleports" somewhere else. How do i get it to go to the overworld. When i am in creative mode, I looked in the spawn egg section and find no Ender Dragon spawn egg. So what do i do to spawn the ender dragon in the overworld?

And do i surround the ender dragon egg with tnt to destroy it?

texts: Are there any reason to delay leveling up?

texts:
I remember that in Oblivion, the game would punish you for leveling up too early. You needed to make sure to have trained the proper skills before gaining a level, or else the enemy would become increasingly stronger than you.

I understand that Skyrim's system is a bit different and shouldn't have this exact problem. But does it mean I can safely level up as soon as I reach the proper level? Are there any valid reasons for me to wait before leveling up?

texts: How many hp Li Li's "Jug of 1,000,000 Cups" can potentially heal

texts:
So, on level 20 Li Li's heroic ability "Jug of 1,000 Cups":

  Rapidly tosses brew to the most injured nearby allies, prioritizing Heroes, restoring a total of 3600 Health over 6 seconds.

... and can be upgraded to "Jug of 1,000,000 Cups":

  Jug of 1,000 Cups now hits two targets at a time.

I can interpret this as one of:

a total amount of hp Li Li can restore now equals to 7200 (assuming there are 2 or more heroes being healed)
a total amount of hp being restored is still 3600, but now it can heal up to 2 times faster, i.e. 3 seconds (assuming there are 2 or more heroes being healed)

Which one is really happening here?


texts: How do you know when you can perform an ultimate jutsu in Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution?

texts:
I've been trying out Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution recently, and it doesn't seem to make any sense when you can and can't use your ultimate or team ultimate jutsu.

When playing as the ultimate jutsu type, there's a reddish-orange bar to the side of your health that seems like it would indicate this. However, I have on occasion been able to use ultimate jutsu when it's not full, and I have also on occasion not been able to use it when it is full. So that bar seemingly has no bearing on ultimate jutsu, unless I'm not understanding it.

There's also some cases where there's a popup showing the button combination to press to use the ultimate jutsu, but I've been able to use it without that popup being present.

What are the exact circumstances under which you an use ultimate jutsu? How can I tell mid-battle?

texts:
I recently booted up Terraria Xbox One edition for the first time in quite a while, only to be met with a loading screen. This first said “converting characters”, but is now “converting worlds”.

The progress bar has been at 50% for over an hour now, and no more progress has been made. I’m afraid to restart the Xbox, in case data is corrupted, but I don’t know what else I could do in this situation.

So why has it been stuck without progress for so long? And will it eventually complete, or is it probable that something’s gone wrong and it will never finish converting the worlds without restarting? Will restarting now corrupt my save data?

texts: What's the most effective way to deal with a big group of sentries?

texts:
I'm playing Capture the Flag (on Turbine), and the enemy's team has a group of about five level-3 sentries right outside the door to our base. I've tried being a Soldier, Heavy and Demoman, and destroying them, but all five gun me down before I have the chance. The Scout's essentially useless and he'll be destroyed almost instantly, as will the Pyro and Medic. As a Spy, I am either blown up by grenades or sticky bombs before I even get near the sentries, or, if I'm lucky enough to get to them, as soon as I sap them, another Engineer comes along and removes my sapper (and I obvious can't backstab him as other Sentries will quickly shoot at me).

What is the best thing to do in this situation (in order to destroy lots of sentries), where coming into contact with them is inevitable (What is an ideal class to use, and what is the best strategy)?


texts: Is there any significance to my nameday?

texts:
When creating a character in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, I had to choose a nameday to signify when my character was born.

There are calendars to translate Eorzean dates to Gregorian ones; however, I can't seem to find any reference to dates within the game. Given that days cycle past relatively quickly, at approximately 19 earth days to one Eorzean year, I'm not too surprised at the lack of an in-game calendar, but I am left wondering:

Is there any significance to my character's nameday?


texts: NPCs Can't Come to My House (e.g. Invited Guests, Newspaper, Mail, Police...)

texts:
I've played the game many times but I've never came across this specific bug...

What happens is, after you call someone (e.g. a person from another family, police), they disappear from the phone since you requested them. Problem is they don't show up, and they remain vanished from the phone as well. When I started noticing this, I noticed that newspaper & mail were as well not arriving for a few days already.

Unfortunately the save of the bugged family was already after the bug has started. It's only one bugged family though, the others seemed normal (via a quick test) although I did not save on them for a decent while.

Running no expansions.

What are exact rules for green blocks decay in Antichamber?

When you have a chain of green blocks and take one in a middle some part (or all of it) of it will decay. How can you predict which part is it?
Is there a special rule for the situation when you remove one block, chain begin to dacay and meanwhile you remove another block?

I see that if I have straight line of green blocks and remove one then the longest part will remain present (if parts are equal all will decay). But when the chain is not straight the behaviour looks unpredictable for me..

texts: Can you move items from pack into stash?

texts: I have noticed that once you get full on an item you get the notification that your pack is full of said item, and nothing seems to have been done with the item you tried to pick up. When you interact with the stash you can move things from the stash to your pack, but it does not appear that you can move things from your pack to your stash. I would like to build up the village but waiting for items to go to stash day by day (in-game) takes a while, unless you just sit there and sleep repeatedly. Is there a way to move things from your pack to your stash? I could just be overlooking it, or not far enough through the story perhaps.

texts: The free version of My Boy! emulator won't let me continue from my last save?

texts:
I've been playing Pokemon Emerald for a couple of days using 'My Boy! Free - GBA Emulator' (found on the Google Play store).
I was saving a "quick" save in the emulator screen and also inside the game itself. Up until now it was working fine, but when I opened the emulator today and went into Pokemon Emerald, instead of having three options pop up on the screen which are "Continue", "New Game" and "Options" I only had the last two, without the "Continue" option.
I searched a bit through my storage and found the save files for the game, but the game simply doesn't recognize them for some reason. It worked fine until today.
The ROM is inside a zip folder which is inside Downloads (I've set the My Boy app to find games there), and the save file is inside a folder called "saves" which is inside the "MyBoy" folder.

Updates:
I tried putting them in the same directory (the game is stored on the device's internal storage) and it still won't work. (It is the same save file that I was used before it stopped working) Is there anything else I could do? –
I've also just noticed that even though the game is stored on the device's internal storage the save file is in storage/emulated/0/MyBoy/save/ and the game is in storage/emulated/0/Download/
Any clues on what I can do?


texts: Is there a keybind to close object menus?

texts:
In Lego Worlds, various tools such as the Discovery Tool can allow the user to access a grid-style menu that provide a variety of objects or other options. These menus can be accessed by pressing and holding tab on the PC. However, I've yet to determine how to close the menus outside of using the mouse to click the "return" button in the top-left corner of the screen. Additionally, I've been unable to find an option anywhere that allows me to set key binds. I'm finding that using the keyboard for many things, including accessing these menus, and then having to drag the mouse clear across the screen to close these menus to be an annoyance.

Is there a keybind or other keyboard shortcut to close these grid-style object menus, or a way to set one if none exists?

texts: What do I do when an opponent builds a refinery in my base?

texts:
So admittedly, I'm a bit of a SC2 newbie.  I was playing an online match and my opponent upon first scouting me with a Terran SCV noticed that I had not yet started putting down Assimilators myself (I was Protoss)  and proceeded to put down a Refinery on one of my gas units.  I had a Gateway coming up and I didn't want to waste my drones on taking the gas down so I figured I'd wait for my first zealot to come out.

The problem of course was that by the time my zealot had come out out, he started building a Refinery on the next gas unit.  Ultimately, the time (and attention) and the fact that I was a bit late on getting gas most likely led to my defeat.

What should I have done in this case?  Should I have had a small handful of my drones take down the refinery?  Should I have just proceeded with a heavy / early Zealot rush considering my opponent wasted 150 minerals and an SCV with this tactic and I would have possibly had him outnumbered at the very outset, assuming I mined/built fast enough?

I didn't care for the tactic, but people can play how they want and I'm not going to complain - I just want to know how I should have reacted strategy wise in the event someone else tries this on me.

texts: Where are the properties and heists in GTA V online?

texts:
I was under the impression that GTA V online let you do almost everything in multiplayer that you could do in single player like buy property(most importantly safe-houses).  I'm also really interested in playing in some of the teased co-op heists.

After much server woes, I was able to play a little last night.  I got through the initial street race, did the drug deal, bought some clothes, got a personal vehicle, and played some death matches.  No properties show up on the map yet.  No heists appear available  There's one mission, but that fails out 3 seconds after starting.

Basically I only see PvP content.  I don't even recall any markers for golf or tennis on the mini-map.

I'm only rank 4 or 5 so far.  Is all this content limited to higher ranked players?  Or are there further updates to GTA Online that we have to wait for?

What is the exact formula for getting good and bad morale effects and what are the exact effects that can occur due to good or bad Morale?

After looking for a while, i could not find anything that makes Siren better with a SMG than the other characters, so teorically, i could make it use any weapon without further losses, right ?

I Know i should avoid these sort of question here, but, which is the "Best" Build for her ? I mean, is there any tree that is really better than the others ?

Here is the build calculator for her : Calculator

texts: How do I know how many posters I have to stick to my enemies?

texts:
So, I've been tasked with advertising for concerts. Great! I can do that. Problem is, I have to stick these posters to my enemies.

The KoL wiki points out that

  The quest is completed once the total attack value of monsters you
  have advertised on is at least 10,000. Adding +ML (via effects or
  items) helps. The stronger the monsters you distribute posters to, the
  fewer you'll need to hand out, but the stronger their retaliatory
  strikes will be.

Alright, cool, I have a goal. Problem is, short of making sure I look up the attack value of each monster and add them all up by hand, I am not sure how I can keep track of this.

Is there something that tells me how close I am to completing this quest, sort of like the nuns' flavour text changing slightly as I got closer to bringing them back all the meat that the brigands stole?


texts: Control SNES emulator from different machines

texts:
Say I have 3 machines connected to the same network, M1, M2 and M3. I want to do the following:

Run a SNES emulator on M1
Setup M2 so that it can control player 1 on the emulator running on M1 via keyboard (e.g. by executing a connectToEmulator binary)
Setup M3 so that it can control player 2 on the emulator running on M1 via keyboard (e.g. by executing a connectToEmulator binary)

Something like:

    +---------------+
    |       M1      |
    |               |

texts:
in Etrian Odyssey 3 there is a common skill called Combat Study which reads

  Listen to the stories of veteras to gain their valuable experiance
  EXP Gain ^

Now i took the description as more how it works, that the party is listening to veteran's experiances to gain bonus EXP, sorta like how the Monk's Healing skill says that the Monk uses Qi to heal (but we're using TP to use the skill)

However while looking up on GameFAQs, i came across this section on Miscellaneous Game Tips where it says

  Combat Study
  "Combat Study" is a common skill that allows idle guild members to receive a portion of the exp gained by your main party while in the labyrinth.

which got me confused because i would not have read "EXP Gain ^" as being gaining EXP while NOT in the party, and i already spent 2 points on it for my main party.

I am looking for confirmation as to what does Combat Study do? (to determine if i'm going to sacrifice 5 levels to undo my mistake and spend some time making a bunch of characters for the bench)


texts: In Rocksmith how do I "Reach master mode on a phase"?

texts:
One of the 3 suggested goals to attempt literally states "Reach master mode on a phase". I'm not sure how to complete this task. I tried playing in song mode and improving myself in sections so they turn pink in the small song section overview, but it didn't register as completed so far.
Questions:

Am I maybe supposed to reach 100% score on that section to complete the goal?
Is a pink section the indication it's in master mode, or is master mode the "pro" mode where you don't see the notes anymore?
Can it be reached in song mode or do I need to go into practice mode?

Edit: To clarify the above 3 questions after completing the goal last week: 1. Just play the section without (too many) error a few times. 2. Pink is not master mode, the notes start fading out when master mode is active. 3. I completed it in song mode.

texts: What property of redstone torches allows activating stacks of items?

texts:
Looking at this video about the new pistons in Minecraft 1.7, he has arranged 3 horizontal-pushing pistons in a stack vertically and is using an alternating pattern of redstone torches to activate them together.

*D for dirt; ' for redstone torches; ||=| for pistons; and _ for redstone wire

texts: How can I move an installed game from one Steam library folder to another?

texts:
I use (and have it much bigger) drive D: to store all my user data and games, but I have installed the Steam client on drive C:. When I was installing a first game (Warhammer 40000), I've chosen to place my library folder on drive D: and the game went there.

But now as I've got installed the second game (Portal), I can see that it was put on drive C: despite to the choice I've done previously. When I open Steam - Settings - Downloads + Cloud - Steam library folders, I can see both installation places in the list. Can I merge them into one?

I would even agree to use the default drive C: library (as I've replaced it with a symlink already). When I press to remove one library it says it can only remove empty ones.

texts:
I've been watching video tutorials for using command blocks and browsed a bit on here before forming this question.
I've been trying to make a shop where a player puts a few emeralds, let's say 8, in a chest and they receive something, let's say an obsidian block. After a good amount of experimenting, the command that has come close to my solution is:
execute if block ~ ~ ~ chest{Items:[{id:"minecraft:emerald", count:8b}]}

I also used the variation: execute unless block...
I have a button to press it but it only registers the chest; regardless of whatever is inside of it (even executing if the chest is empty). I'm on 1.16, so I don't think the "/testforblock" command (as seen in other questions) works. Is there something I'm missing?

I have a bootcamped Mac, and I want to share my SteamApps folder between the two operating systems, since the bulk of the storage is in game assets.

I've tried using an exFAT partition, but OSX has a bug that reports it as case sensitive when it isn't, so Steam refuses to run on it. Fat32 is no good due to the 4gb limit.

texts: Are fixed damage weapons worse than damage range weapons?

texts:
When sorting weapons by damage in Fallout: Shelter, weapons that have a damage range (as the Enhanced Sawed-Off Shotgun, which does 6-8 damage) are ranked higher than fixed damage weapons with the same expected average damage (such as the Rusty Laser Pistol, which deals 7 damage) when sorted by the STATS column.
For example, I currently have the following weapons in this order when sorted by stats:

Enhanced Sawed-Off Shotgun: 6-8
Rusty Laser Pistol: 7
Sawed-Off Shotgun: 6-7
Enhanced Hunting Rifle: 5-7
Rusty Sawed-Off Shotgun: 6

This could be as simple as the sorting algorithm just being made that way (sorting by average damage first, and then maximum damage to settle ties), but I would argue that fixed damage weapons are actually better (given the same average damage), as they would bring more consistent victories in situations where you on average win.
I considered that the random number picked within the damage range would be affected by the dweller's stats (so having high perception, for example, could increase the average damage slightly for a non-fixed weapon), but this seems unlikely, considering the simplicity of the FO:S combat system.
Is this purely an artifact of the sorting algorithm, or is there some reason for why damage range weapons are (on average) better than fixed-damage ones?

texts: How do I use an NBT editor to modify item properties?

In Minecraft, the NBT (Named Binary Tag) format is used to store data of our Minecraft worlds, including block, entity, and item properties.
In the Java Edition of Minecraft, you can modify this data by including the data in the command, like so:

In the Bedrock Edition, on the other hand, NBT is inaccessible from commands. In order to modify NBT, we need to use an external editor.

A number of maps have a large flat plain near a coastal area, which is often among the best places on the map in terms of land value or resources to build, with the drawback of being susceptible to a tsunami.  While disaster shelters can help save citizens, even when the shelter is trapped under meters of water for years without food, the buildings aren't so fortunate.  Most buildings can be flatted by even a medium-strength tsunami.

texts:
I am defending Tihr as the Rhodoks.  I have ~200 men, almost all sergeants and sharpshooters.  My foes have ~1000 troops.  Because the walls in Tihr are partially broken, my men can get on the ladders.  They charge down the ladders at the enemy, rather than staying on the walls.  This ruins my terrain advantage; instead of having my whole army fight 2-3 guys at a time, its a fair fight on the ladder.  If they would just stay on the walls, I could win this with my superior concave.  A few times I have briefly gotten the battle to be at the top of the walls rather than halfway down the ladder, and during these times I easily have a high enough K/D ratio to win if I could keep it up.

So my question is, how can I get my idiots to stay on the walls?  I have tried issuing "Hold this position" orders, which does not work.

Has anyone done any analysis on the relationship between elite monsters and their base types?

For instance, is the damage of an elite skeleton group some percentage higher than the damage of non-elite skeletons, and is it consistent?

What about HP of elite monster? Does this also have a similar relationship?

Ultimately I want to know whether Elites/Rares/Champions/Unique monsters stats are generated based off of the original monster data or if they have their own custom values for each elite type/monster type combination.

Lastly, I'll try to investigate this issue on my own over the next few weeks and update my progress here. If anyone has any tips on how to approach this issue please let me know in answers or comments.

Do I need to recall to the spawnpool to qualify as a recharge? Or do I have to physically open the shop and purchase an item every time?

texts: This is a really dumb question, but I never really played around with the tethering mechanic in Just Cause 2.  Now I want to tether things, but I can't remember the key combination from the tutorial mission way back.  Does anyone remember how the process works?


texts: Leveled up too quickly in Skyrim; Enemies now too difficult

texts:
I spent a lot of time exploring and doing side missions, and not really leveling my smithing or my enchanting, and now I'm a really high level. Almost any enemy can kill me and none of the items that are spawning are good enough to help.

Is there any way to restore the balance in my game or do I have to start over?


texts: Why does everyone do 9-overlord, not 10-overlord?

texts:
What is the advantage on saving the money for the overlord when you have 9 drones, and not filling your supply first and then getting the overlord?

In my theory, in the first case you get to wait the saving time with 9 drones, and get to wait almost the same time with 10 drones in the second case. Second case should be better, since 10 drones mine faster than 9? So why does everybody go with the first case?

All this is assuming you go 12 pool or something like that, where you will get more drones after the overlord. 6- and 8-pools are obviously different.

texts: Steam game won't launch, says 'running' for short while then stops

texts:
When i try to launch Geometry Dash, the following things happen:

'Running' appears next to the game in my library.
A 'Preparing to Launch' window appears for a short while.
My profile picture turns green.

It stays like this for a while, maybe about 4 seconds, then the 'Running' message disappears and my profile picture returns to blue. There is never any error message or window.

I have tried everything that every forum says to do including:

reinstalling the game
verifying game files
running from program files
resinstalling visual c++
reinstalling steam completly.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I tried running it in every compatibility mode. It would never run if i tried the .exe in steam apps, but if i tried running it through the steam client, windows 95 and windows 98/me worked. however the audio quality in that the lower range of frequency were reduced to broken static.

Update #3: Solved

I have solved the problem and posted the solution as an answer
