texts: How large a hole will rain fill with source blocks?

texts:
From MineCraftWiki.net:

  (...) and possibly fill up small holes up with water source blocks.

Does anyone have any information about the dynamics of this functionality?  Specifically I'm interested in answers to the following questions:

What is the maximum width and length of a hole that can be filled by rain?
If a hole is 1m wide by 1m long by 2m deep with a source block filling the lower empty space, will rain fill the upper empty space on top of the existing source block?
If the answer to #2 is "yes", what is the maximum depth of a hole that can be filled in that manner?


texts: What are the different chests I can receive in the Soul Box?

texts:
Running through the game a second time, skipping many of the side quests, I've noticed a few things I missed my first time around. One of the more major things I've noticed is that the chests made available to me in the Soul Box in route C/D were different. I seem to recall getting more than I got this time. This is reinforced by the fact that there was a voice commending me for various things and telling me I was being rewarded for them.

If there are, indeed, different rewards in the Soul Box, what are they and what are they for?


texts: Can't break block in Minecraft for iPhone

texts:
I used to play Minecraft PE a lot and I've re-downloaded it on my brand new iPhone 6S for old times sake. Every other button is working fine, but blocks don't highlight when I touch them, and my character's arm swipes once and then holds still, even if I hold down on the block.

I've messed around in the settings, with sensitivity, controls, etc. It says you need to hold down on a block when you want to break it, but that's just not working. I am on survival mode, not adventure, so I know that's not it. I haven't seen anyone else with this problem on mobile.

Anyone know what's wrong?


texts: How do I get a janitor to clean a prison cell?

texts:
I have several janitors in my prison, and they spend the majority of their time mopping up blood and urine (unsung heroes of the correctional system, no doubt) and doing laundry. They do not, however, go into the prisoner's cells to do any mopping. They of course will not go in while the cell is occupied, but even when the prisoners are eating or in the yard, directing a janitor to clean a particular cell just results in them leaving and doing other things. Many of my prisoners are complaining about Environment, which from what I read is almost entirely (if not entirely) related to how clean their current area is. This one guy's cell is so full of urine and feces, he's pretty upset. (Why he can't think it's his own damn fault is beyond me, but then again I don't understand the criminal mind.) His toilet is in full working order, and has been checked for tunnels. At least I could understand if his toilet was a facade and he had to take a crap elsewhere, but alas, that is not the case here.

Is there any way to force a janitor to clean a cell, or better yet, a team of janitors to clean an entire cell block while it's empty? I'd prefer not to have to dezone the cells, but if that's what it takes once every couple weeks, I'm not above doing that. (It'd be a last resort, if it even works, that is.)

texts: I don't see monsters because of my spells

texts:
This league I am trying a new build: Spellsigner + Volatile Dead (video). So far I like build potential (damage and defense) and I'd like to continue playing it.
But I have a big problem with it because attacking will trigger so many effects, what it's very hard to see something else around me: monsters in the distance and  in  melee range, objects to click nearby, passages, etc.
Here is screenshot in steam to have an idea and it's maybe 1/3 of what happens if I start spamming attack and orbs (up to 60 orbs!) are auto-moving for mobs, everything is flashing, moving in various direction, covering, popping.. I can barely see anything other than orbs.
What can I do? Is there some way to reduce effect of this spells (or in general - all spells effects)? Make something less visible? Making other object more visible? Anything?


texts: How can I turn off my TV without turning off my PS3?

texts:
I've got it set up so the PS3 and TV communicate via HDMI and turning one or the other on/off turns them both on/off.

If I'm in the middle of a video game (and paused) I can turn off the TV without the console shutting down. However, if I'm just at the downloads management screen I can't.

Is there a way to temporarily disable the HDMI communication? I'd rather not have to go into the settings for something so simple, but that's probably easier than then RL hack I've been using of pulling the HDMI cable out while I power off the TV.

texts: Can you kick a Pokémon from a rivaling Gym by lowering the Gym level?

texts:
If you battle at a Gym you'll earn some XP for each Pokémon trainer you defeat at the Gym even if you can't beat all the trainers at the Gym. Per win the Gym will also loose some of its prestige.

As the level (and maximum number of occupying Pokémon) of the Gym is related to this amount of prestige, is it possible to lower the Gym's level and effectively booting out one of the occupying Pokémon in case the maximum number of occupants is exceeded?

For example. Let's say you'd battle at a Level 3 Gym that has 3 Pokémon stationed at it. If you would keep on winning fights up to the point the Gym level would lower to 2, would one of the Pokémon (presumably the one with the lowest CP) be removed from the Gym?

texts: Does using a Power-attack while sneaking increase your chances of being detected?

texts:
According to the Skyrim Wiki, "daggers are silent, meaning that enemies are not alerted to your dagger swings, even missed ones." However,  there is generally a sound (grunt or guttural throat noise) to go along with a power attack animation.

Is this noise just for effect (like the passive spell-in-hand glow) or is the sound audible by potential victims/enemies?


texts: Why france intervened to help me in independece war against Castile?

texts:
I play Portugal, I chose to support Aragon and Naples independence war against  weakened Castile in AD 1501 (allied with my rival Morocco and with Siena). Despite our alliance had 2x more soldiers and 3x more cannons we were seriously loosing (perhaps because Naples army did not move from Italy and Aragon was sieging forts instead of joining with me in battles) while both Maroco and Siena supported Castiles King in every single battle (why AIs cooperate better together than with me?). After 8-10 years (AD 1510) my manpower was drained, war exhaustion ~8, whole army mercenary, and half of my colonies occupied by rebels.

Then glorious France declared war against Castile (not merged to our independence war). They came with 60k army and 2 star generals and within 1 year exterminated all Castiles troops in iberia, conquered some forts and forced Castile to release Galicia. They did not annex anything. We just conquered the undefended land and won.

I don't understand what triggered France to aid us?. France was my ally and Castiles rival, but I was not able to call them by "call allies" button before. Maybe they used the "Enforce peace" button? But what exactly are the conditions when they do it?

I would like to know how to trigger such great from supernatural French army help in future.


texts: What are the consequences of travelling to the Isle of Mists?

texts:
I'm currently reluctant to continue the main story of the game because every time I get close to the Isle of Mists I receive multiple warning messages telling me to save my game and that going further will have heavy impact on the game and making progress.

Can someone explain what I won't be able to accomplish after travelling to the Isle of Mists? Will only some quests be affected by this? Will NPCs be gone? (Bonus points if you can manage to tell me without using spoilers.)

The message I see sounds very drastically so I'm afraid I won't be able to finish a lot of quests that I have (not yet) accepted and not finished yet.

texts: Can you still play PSO Episode I & II on Xbox?

texts:
I heard that you need a Xbox Live account to play Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II on Xbox, even for the offline mode.

Unfortunately, the service was shut down for the first Xbox generation (in 2010-04-15).

I wonder:

Is it impossible to play this game on the Xbox 1 now?
Or do those versions that were once activated in Xbox Live still work?
If so, are they bound to the Xbox they were activated on or could you buy an once activated version of PSO Ep. 1 & 2 and play it on your Xbox (which was never connected to Xbox Live)?
Back then, was it sufficient to activate the game once, or would you have to subscribe to the service for as long as you wanted to play? (difference between online and offline mode?)

(I assume you can't play it on Xbox 360, as it is not listed in the List of Xbox games compatible with Xbox 360.)


texts: How do all the flashbang-like grenades work?

texts:
There are three flashbang-like grenades in Planetside 2: heavy assault troopers get a concussion grenade, light assaults use flash grenades, and infiltrators can carry EMP grenades.

They all have a similar purpose: disable hostiles, making it easier for your squad to sweep the area and making return fire more difficult.

But they seem to have different effects. What other differences are there? What is their effect radius? Is there effect reduced at further range? Is there some indication that a target is affected by such a grenade? Basically, I'd like a fairly in-depth description of all these devices.

texts: What anime-inspired fighting game had Green Hill Zone as a stage?

texts:
In RadicalSoda's video on Sonic Mania & Sonic Forces, at 2:02 he shows a screenshot of an anime-inspired fighting game which included a 3D render of Green Hill Zone as a stage.

From the screenshot I can see the game has a 2v2 fighting system, a blue special gauge, and some sort of basketball hoop.

The only fighting games I can think of with Green Hill Zone would be Sonic the Fighters, Super Smash Bros., or M.U.G.E.N., but the screenshot doesn't resemble any of those titles.

What fighting game is this which has Green Hill Zone as a playable stage?

Are there certain settlements that generate orders for the First Prepper, or is it random?

texts: Toggling series of memory cells in minecraft with one button press

texts:
I want to have a series of 12 memory cells to control an analog clock I am trying to make. I have a hopper clock that triggers every 100 seconds (the equivalent of an hour in a Minecraft day) and each time it activates, if cell i is active, I want cell i+1 to activate and all others to be off. Ideally also if the cell 12 is activate and the clock triggers again, I want to deactivate 12 and activate 1 so it wraps around.
I was experimenting around with having a RS NOR latch for each memory cell, and then with each pulse of the clock, for each memory cell, I pass through the pulse and the S value into and AND gate and if true, that will trigger the next memory cell in the array to be set true and also to trigger the reset of the current memory cell.
I can't seem to get this working well though. What I have https://imgur.com/QIctUwt so far seems to be close. The torches on top of the bricks are the S values of each RS NOR gate. When the hopper click first triggers, the leftmost cell turns on. Then it triggers again, and the leftmost cell turns off and the second cell turns on. But then, as the hopper clock keeps triggering, the leftmost cell just keeps toggling on and off. I think I messed the logic up somehow.
There must be an easier way to do this, but I can't seem to think of it. Any suggestions into how to make this easier?

Any inquiries regarding your system in the Nintendo 3DS family are handled by Nintendo. Please contact them using the following contact information.

I tried sending a message, but got no responses since then.
Do anyone know if buying a new 3DS and using the same account will be enough to get back my pokemons or are they lost until, maybe, Nintendo answers me?
I'm really awfully pained by the idea of losing all that.

texts: Why is my Food Advisor telling me my "Catnip supply is too low"?

texts:
My food advisor randomly tells me my catnip supply is too low.

  Food advisor: 'Your catnip supply is too low!'

At first I thought it was telling me that my production wasn't enough to feed my cats for the winter, but I see it appearing and disappearing on its own sometimes without me doing anything. Also I don't think it's strictly winter related, since it will sometimes appear after I purchase something but go away a short time later before winter starts, with no interference from me.

What exactly triggers this warning, and what is it supposed to mean?

For example:

I currently have 3720 catnip, 8 cats, and am gaining 3.10/sec. Despite running a surplus, my advisor is warning me my catnip supply is low.

  Base 7.25
  Season 0%
  Demand -6.63

If I add one farmer, I jump to gaining 14.4/sec, and my food advisor goes away.

  Base 7.25
  Season 0%
  Job Output +1.26
  Demand -6.63

(I know these numbers don't add up, I'm sure there's modifiers affecting this somewhere)

It also went away on its own once I reached around 4800 catnip (this was summer day 89)

texts: What are the differences between weapons?

texts:
For example, I believe that with sub-machine guns you can move faster while aiming down sight. Are there any other differences like this either between weapon types or between weapons within the same type?

Also, do the damage, accuracy, etc. meters between the different weapon types match up? Is 5 bars of damage for an Assault Rifle the same as 5 bars of damage for an LMG?

The reason that I bring this up is that I've been a fairly below average player, but the other night I created a new class with the Galil. Maybe it's my imagination, but it seems like the kick on it is much less than other weapons (including other Assault Rifles). I've been dominating since then. Maybe something just clicked in my play or I've been lucky in server placement, but like I said it seems like the gun is more accurate and I have a much better KDR than even the AK47 or AK74u.


texts: FPS increase while holding any mouse button

texts:
I have a problem. Normally when I'm playing CS:GO I have ~30 FPS. But recently I realized, that when I'm holding any mouse button (mouse1 - mouse5) my FPS suddenly increases to ~70. One more thing - when I go out of the game and back (Alt+Tab) the increase doesn't work anymore. But when I respawn ingame, it does work again. So the problem should be some incompatibility between my mouse and CS:GO. When I don't hold any mouse button, my FPS simply goes down to 30.

I tried to change mice of course, but the result was the same - holding mouse button increases FPS. Note that this doesn't happen in any other game.

Thanks for your reply, hope to get 60 FPS avg, that would be great.

texts: Does the A press to "X is attacking Y" need to be on-beat to initiate a combo attack?

texts:
When you attack an enemy, you get a message box that announces your attack. You can dismiss it with A. You can then combo an enemy by tapping A to the heartbeat of said enemy.

I've noticed that the combo difficulty increases exponentially the higher their "heart frequency" is. Even with massive abuse of save states and a 5× emulator slowdown, I can't manage to combo (say) a Clayman more than twice, and even that second combo is more of an accident than something I can rely upon in normal gameplay. I guess this means that I must be doing something inherently wrong.

Now, yes, the first few beats are harder than the following ones; when you do have a few notes on screen, their visual movement also help you keep the combo going. However, this seems really hard. I must be doing something consistently wrong, or maybe you're just not meant to 16-combo all enemies, even if you're willing to save and restore state as many times as needed. I don't know, but I figure that it should be easier to get a 2-combo properly than through a turbo controller.

So, here's what I could be doing wrong: does the first A also need to be in beat to count? do I instead want it instead to be off-beat so I have the time to press A on the right beat?

Is there a max limit to how many different items a vendor will sell so that no new items will be added to stock after this limit is reached?
Is there a level limit on what items can be restocked? I bought 2mm EC ammunition once from Arturo so I assume I'm high enough level if that's the case?

texts: Minecraft Server Resource Park Won't Change

texts:
I am making an SCP Resource pack only for sounds. To do it, I added more sounds over time. I uploaded a version of the pack with two sound effects to dropbox, and set the dl=1, and the server was able to use those two sounds. However, I later added three more on my own computer, and updated the sounds.json. I tested the sounds by using them in-game myself, so I know they work. However, when I updated the old files on dropbox, by deleting the old and replacing them with the new, the server only loads 2 sounds, the two alarm sounds. When I download the resource park myself off of dropbox, it still works, so what gives? Can I not change the resource park of the server? A quick response would be appreciated, thank you!
The new link to the pack is https://www.dropbox.com/sh/frgwldwew0ghid1/AAAwJiAU5Tyki_sHcA4hbyqAa?dl=1, by the way.

Does this mean that I can turn a level 10 dragon into a baby so that I can start leveling it again?  I'm not aware of another way to level a dragon past 10, but the tip itself refers to dragons "10+" so I'm thinking there is a way - and maybe this is it.  It's a lot of coin for me at this point, so I want to be sure before I invest.

texts: Attaining 100% in SNES and N64 Mario Games

texts:
In Mario games on the GameCube (eg Mario Sunshine or Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door), it is possible to complete the game, beat the final boss, and attain 100% completion and save such that the load-game-screen shows 100% or 120 stars, etc. However for the same games on the SNES and N64 (ie, Super Mario World, Mario 64, and Paper Mario), I cannot figure out a way to attain 100% completion because after the final boss is beaten, the games hang on the final screen after the credits instead of returning to the title-screen/menu where the player can save post-final-boss.

Is this correct or is there a way to save a 100% game?


texts: Is it possible to make a base that's impenetrable by other players?

texts:
This question stems from a discussion I had with some friends.

Consider a hypothetical multiplayer vanilla Minecraft server.
The landscape is random, not premade or prepared in any way.
All players are playing in survival mode.
No cheats are allowed.
The players don't necessarily want to play as allies (they could form alliances, but there will be opposing sides).
We want to let the players be completely free - i.e. not have to respect any particular rule (like "don't break blocks in other people's homes"), unless that rule is enforced by the game mode and the environment.

Is it possible for a faction to set up a home base that simply cannot be breached from the outside by other players (unless someone from the inside grants them access)?

texts:
So I was playing Skyrim one day, and I was grabbing some random stuff from the containers. I noticed that in one of the containers, a piece of clothing was flagged red; the words  were red.

Are they stolen - If I take them, do I get a bounty? The container is unowned, which means I can take whatever I want. So why is this item marked red?

Update: This is more weirder because of the fact that the clothes were marked red, but it didn't say stolen on the upper right.

texts: Can a 2nd driver in a Mario Kart 8 "vs" race select a User Mii?

texts:
When playing a 2-player "vs" race in Mario Kart 8, the highlights reel (which can be viewed in the "MKTV"/"MarioKart TV" section from the main menu) identifies the first player by the name of their "User Mii", which is the user who was selected when the Wii U was powered on. However, the second user is identified by the character name (e.g. "Mario"). Is there any way for the second player to select a "User Mii" when joining a "vs" race?

Looking in the manual (also available online) (section 6, "Save data"), it says that saved data is associated with the User Mii that is selected when the Wii U is turned on, but it doesn't make any mention of multiplayer races. The vs/battle section of the manual makes no reference to User Miis. So it sounds like you can't, but that feels like a frustratingly inconsistent feature. Although I guess it doesn't save ghost data and other stats during "vs" races, so perhaps there isn't much lost.

So can you select a user per player/driver in local multiplayer mode? Or just for the first player?

EDIT: A comment on another question suggests that in some games this is possible, but in others it is not. From what I've seen in-game, it looks like it is not possible in MK. Is there anyone who can confirm that for me?

As of that point in time, which was about October of 2015, I've noticed a lot of random people trying to join my server. From all around the world. My whitelist doesn't let them in, but the logs show a lot of people trying to join. Earlier today I've set up a commandblock based Whitelist and disabled the one Minecraft provides to see if it were advertisement bots. This turns out to be false, but my problem is still occuring.

The problem is solved, however I do not know why it stopped when there was no whitelist. The whitelist is now turned on again and there is still no sign of any random requests to the server.

texts: What is affecting my character in sunlight?

texts: I'm playing Skyrim PS3. I have skipped around on quests. I just finished the Dawnguard questline, and defeated Seranas Father. I chose to do another side mission and completed it. I then decided to start a side quest that I received before I installed Dawnguard. When I came out of the cave into the sunlight the screen blurred and tuned red. Because of my sucky TV  I am unable to read the top left of the screen where it tells me what is wrong. My stats have dropped and active affects gives me two things related to vampirism. I am a werewolf and have changed to beast form, drank cure disease potions and visited shrines. I even tried talking to innkeepers to get the quest to be cured...nothing is working. It's been longer than the three days but I'm not being attacked nor has my appearance changed. Is this a glitch from doing a quest I received before installing Dawnguard?

I noticed this now a few times and it slowly begins to be anoying.

My way of handling deathclaw attacks went to be just let them go through room by room untill they are dead, since rearranging the infrastructure of sending my strongest dwellers with them is... fiddly.

But as the title says:

Sometimes after revieving the victims of an Deathclaw attack they appear to lay down work on random occassion and just go into coffe break. Since I noticed this I'm observing this behavior and wasn't able to catch them doing so. But it appears to happen in direct connection with the event of dying. But the change in working state appears to happen while the app itself is closed (can't confirm this so far.)

This is actually anoying since they appear to start working again but on i.e. the next day I have to find them again and reassign them to their jobs. but if there are some times 5 dwellers just idling arround its hard to figure out what the job was for each of them.

Is this issue known?
Is it even an issue or just the result of a feature I'm not aware of/missunderstanding?

Or is it just because Dwellers demand some special leave after dying?


texts: Where did the other races (and genders) go?

texts:
So I have played the Ultima series over most of my life.  The series changed in a number of ways.  It was not too surprising to see the sci-fi elements dropped without explanation after Ultima 2.  Ultima 3 however maintained the options of other races (elves, dwarves, bobbits and fuzzys) as well as introducing the 'other' option for gender.

Starting with Ultima 4, all of these are gone and as far as I am aware have never returned (except for elves eventually getting added to Ultima Online).  The manuals mention nothing about this.  There might not be a definitive answer for this, but I was curious if Richard Garriot or anyone else at Origin had given a clear comment, or if there was a hint/answer in the games I had not seen.

Are we just supposed to assume they never existed?  That they went extinct between 3 and 4?  That they all went to some other world somehow?

texts: Difference between "Repick" and "Back to browsing"

texts:
In Dota, you can pick a hero. You have the option to "Repick", which has a red X in it, signifying something bad.

However, you can also choose "Return to browsing" which just has cards, which looks less evil-ish imo. Is there a difference either way?


texts: How can i find out how many more bottles of Nuka-Cola Quantum I need to donate?

texts:
I'm working on the Nuka-Cola Challenge, but as the bottles are few and far between I don't know how to keep track of how many I've already donated, or how many more I need to find.

When I donate any, Sierra says 'you've found more than 10...' or words to that effect, but I can't find any stats telling me how many more I need.

Do I just keep finding them and delivering, hoping I hit the magic number, or is there a more precise way to know?


texts: In Just Cause 2, My one handed weapons of choice are 2 6-star SMGs. I use one SMG, but when I run out of ammo with it, the other one is empty as well. Does it take ammo from my other SMG, or is the ammo from the other one just disappearing? If it takes ammo from it, does that mean I have twice as much ammo for 1 SMG? I've also heard that the Happy Bubble Blaster uses SMG ammo. If it does, would that be able to be used as an ammo carrier (similar to the second SMG)?

texts:
There are several bonuses to covert ops speed:

Playing as ARC gives 30% / 40% / 50%
Soul Discerner Training reward from artifacts gives 25%
Political trait Subtle gives 15% / 20% / 25%

Considering that energy and science steal is 20 turns each with no bonuses.

[edit] Actually, Energy steal is 25 turns without bonuses, so that explains the difference.

Then, (assuming it's not cumulative because that would make 0 turns for all ops) it should be

20 * (1-0.5) * (1-0.25) * (1-0.25) = 5.6 (might be rounded to 5) with Subtle trait at 25%
20 * (1-0.5) * (1-0.25) * (1-0.15) = 6.3 (No way this is rounded to 5) with Subtle trait at 15%

Yet, with ARC bonus at 50%, the 25% from Soul Discerner Training and the Subtle trait at any level, it takes 5 turns for energy steal and 4 for science.

First I would expect to have the same value for both ops, then, why is the Subtle trait level not making any difference?

Is there a hard cap here? If not, how is this calculated?

(All these values are taken for agent levels of Agent and Special Agent and are the same for both)


texts: Archangel armor flight mode – is this a bug or am I completely missing something?

texts:
I've just acquired the Archangel armor in XCOM: Enemy Within and I'm not able to ascend when in Flight Mode. I activate Flight Mode, my sniper levitates slightly off the ground, but I'm not able to find ANY way to make myself ascend levels at all like you see at the beginning of this YouTube video.

I'm not getting the movement indicator box above my soldier at all when hitting the key I've mapped to Ascend Floor. The screen shifts but no indicator box.

I'm playing using a trackpad on OS X, playing the Steam version of the game. I've tried plugging a mouse in to use the mousewheel for Ascend but no effect.

Edit:

I made a quick screen recording of what I'm experiencing. You can see that I'm activating Flight Mode and then both scrolling the mouse wheel (which is bound to Ascend/Descend) and using the on-screen buttons. When I've "Ascended" there's no movement indicator to show I'm flying up, but when I click around on the map you can see that the movement indicator that stays along the ground is no longer aligned to where I'm clicking.

texts: Is there any reason to keep bugs in my storage?

texts:
As noted, Harvest Moon: A New Beginning keeps track of how many critters you've caught and even breaks them further down into types caught, like "Cicadas Caught", "Bees Caught", etc.

However, unlike Fish, Bugs cannot be cooked, and the only place you can put them is in Storage. I'm pretty obsessive about collecting things, and I tend to like to keep things around unless I otherwise cannot store them. However, unlike the Animal Crossing series, it seems there's no separate place to collect Bugs and you must keep them in your house's Storage.

Given that my Storage is currently limited to 100 spaces and I've already caught 18 types of bugs running around during my first Spring day, I'm a little worried about running out of space. I'm thinking about just releasing/dropping them when it becomes necessary, but I'm worried I'll find out I can use them for something other than random statistics later on.

Is there any reason to keep Bugs around, or am I safe to let them go/sell them?

texts: Aiming and camera glitch when enabling motion controls in Zelda: Breath of the Wild

texts:
So this started happening on my daughter's Switch Lite when she went back to BotW yesterday:
When you play the game with "Aim with motion controls" enabled, they work until you hold ZR to draw your bow (or use magnesis), at which point all aiming (both motion and the analog stick) stops working and, more annoyingly, the camera position is now stuck until you teleport or die.
I have included a short (40sec) video to demonstrate: https://imgur.com/gbaCONJ
Just checked and the game works fine on my son's Switch (not a Lite). Both are running v1.6.0 of BotW. I suspect it might be a combination of the Lite and 1.6.0, as it was working previously but she did say that BotW updated itself before she started playing and noticed the issue.
There doesn't seem to be any way of removing the 1.6.0 update without removing all game data and I don't want to risk the save files.
Has anyone seen this before or have an idea what to do about it? The only workaround I've come up with is to simply not play with motion control aiming, but that's not exactly ideal.
Edit: after transferring saves and wiping all BotW data from the Switch Lite and reinstalling, I have confirmed the problem still exists with a brand new save from a clean install up update 1.6.0 (I'm unable to start the game without installing this update). It is also triggered by throwing melee weapons.

texts: Fez crashing back to game library after a minute of play

texts:
While trying to solve the 'security question' puzzle, my game crashed back to the game library.

Now every single time I try to get back into the game, it crashes back to the game library after about a minute of play. I tried staying in the room or running as fast as possible but the game still crashes.

The Polytron team acknowledged the bugs on their website, and offered workarounds via email. I tried mailing them, but haven't gotten a response yet.

texts: What transmission setting is best to learn race driving?

texts:
I'd like to learn race driving, and since I don't have enough money and since it's not my first passion, I practice with simulators.

The one I'm playing with now is Raceroom Racing Experience from SimBin, but I believe the question should apply to simulators and driving games in general.

My question is, since the main issues I have are concerning the race line and gear shifting, is it considered best to use manual or automatic transmission?

I know it's kind of subjective, but being a common topic I think that some informed advice should be possible.

NOTE: I already know how to drive with a manual gearbox, but in my only experience on a track I noticed that I could hardly keep the right gear for every corner, and I experienced the same trouble with games. So please consider previous experience with manual gearbox (in normal life driving).

texts:
I recently got me two of my favourite games again on GameBoy Advance SP.

I played just a few hours with one device and then went to bed. On the next day, the battery was empty - ok. But trying to charge it again failed.

When I plug in the power source to my GBASP, the "loading LED" lights orange (intended) for only 1-2 seconds and then turns off (not intended). The loading process is then aborted.

Luckily I got another GBASP for me, which loads with the same power source perfectly, but I want to know if I can easily repair this damage.

Is this a known problem and how can I repair it?

texts:
I'm currently doing my first "no leveling-up" run of Dark Souls (1); I chose the Bandit class as a starting class (and the Master Key as a gift), and just noticed that I wouldn't be able to attune any pyromancy due to my low attunement level. Up until now (I just reached Anor Londo) things went surprisingly smoothly, the only boss that gave me a little trouble was Queelag, whom killed me twive, but I dread taking on the Four Kings without Power within and even O&S might prove to be a challenge. Do you have any tips on how to defeat these bosses, the four kings in particular, with a low level melee character that has no magic or pyromancy capabilities? Or is it easier than I imagine?

EDIT I am now facing the Four Kings and my concerns were justified. I don't think I can dish out enough damage fast enough, several attempts failed as the second king killed me before I could even kill the first. What are my options? I'm wielding a +5 Fire Battle Axe, and I can't upgrade it to a +10 now as I want to join the Darkwraith Covenant and thus can't deposit the Lordvessel.

I'm aware of the possibility of using the Red Tear Stone Ring, but that would mean breaking the Ring of Favour and Protection which I'm not too keen on...

EDIT 2 I was mistake about the embers being unaccessible before killing the Four Kings. My new plan is to upgrade my Battleaxe to +10. Furthermore, I upgraded a Giant's set. I came close to killing the Four Kings twice today, and I feel I could take them down with this equipment.

I have a private server with a bunch of friends and I was thinking, since spectator mode is a thing now, to open it to public and have the default gamemode be spectator mode so guests can snoop around without the risk of them doing anything bad.

I did a quick google search and I couldn't find any known bugs or exploits

Can I assume it's secure (on the current stable release - as of writing this 1.8) then?

texts:
Does the Bloodthirster give the wolfpack an extra kill the night immediately following the lynch of the Bloodthirster, provided that the wolfpack still has more than four wolves still remaining?

The how to play for this role states:

  Each night that the Bloodthirster is alive and there are more than 4 members of the Wolfpack alive, the Wolfpack gains an extra kill.

So it would seem that the ability should not trigger following the Bloodthirster's lynch. However, since lynches are often considered to happen after nightfall, it isn't clear whether the ability is lost after morning breaks.

texts: How to increase mouse sensitivity in Skyrim?

texts:
How can i increase mouse sensitivity in Skyrim?

on the main menu the mouse cursor is sluggish
in-game mouse sensitivity is too low

Things i've tried:

increasing Look Sensitivity in-game:

In my SkyrimPrefs.ini file:

Increasing [Controls]\fMouseHeadingSensitivity from 0.0125 to 1.0500
Adding [Controls]\fMouseHeadingXScale = 1.0500
Adding [Controls]\fMouseHeadingYScale = 1.0500
Turning off mouse acceleration: Changing [Controls]\bMouseAcceleration from 1 to 0
Turning off v-sync: Adding [Display]\iPresentInterval = 0

Changing Detail in the launcher to Low from auto-detected Ultra

Running in Windowed mode

Turning off Steam's Overlay UI:

Increasing my mouse pointer speed in Windows

Note: My question is different from How can I sync vertical/horizontal mouse sensitivities?, which looks to make the poor mouse sensitivity equal in both directions. i want not poor mouse sensitivity.

Note: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini"

Note: And restarting Skyrim after each change.

Note: Including details of what i've tried are only presented to shut people up who bitch about a "lack of research effort". i should be able to ask my question with explanation, justification, or research. Also people love screenshots - it draws them in like moths.

As the tube fills you will hit checkpoints represented by fixed values that will earn you pink smiley faces. When you fill the entire tube you are awarded a medal.

In Rayman 2, I remember it taking me many, many hours to collect every single last lum - and there was an exact amount of lums that needed to be collected in each level.

A number of times now, I've collected up to a dozen more lums than what is required to fill the entire tube. This seems weird - is it supposed to happen? In my mind the tube being full represents you collecting every lum in the level.

Do these overflow lums count towards anything? Why are they there?


texts: How does Shield Bash (Shattered Shield) work?

texts:
Shield Bash (Shattered Shield) states that it hits "for 325% weapon damage plus 300% of your shield's Block Chance as damage." I'm not exactly clear on what this means. If I have a block chance of 20%, does that mean my damage calculation goes as follows:

325% weapon damage + (300% * Block Chance) = 325% weapon damage + 0.6

That feels like a comically small improvement (less than 1 damage) as to seem completely useless.


texts: How does experience work, how does it relate to levels

texts:
I just started playing the destiny demo a few days ago and decided to buy it, after that I got a spark of light.

I decided not to use it on my first character and save it for another one if I make one. While investigating the consequences of using the spark of light I learned that the spark of light does not award experience but instead awards levels, what could this mean?

from reddit:

  You simply level to 25 with no additional experience in your subclass trees. So essentially, you're a fresh level 25 character with no abilities unlocked in your subclass tree of choice. You're a level 25 character with the same amount of experience as a level 1.

Does using Spark of light affect the story?

  Note: You do NOT gain 25 levels of experience. You will be a "fresh" level 25 player, meaning you cannot allocate points into skills or anything.

Does this mean that there is a disadvantage to using the spark of light? Is it better to level up to 25, by better I mean will you have a more powerfull character that leveled to 25 than if you used the spark of light?

Is it possible to log the time I have spent flying aircraft?

I am starting to learn how to fly helicopters and I am interested in how much time I've spent in the air - or in the ground for that matter. Much like pilots do in the real-world.

Is there a mod, or perhaps a built-in character statistics somewhere?


texts:
When I turn on "Single Player Auto End Turn" in the game options I don't have to hit enter to move to the next turn.  Trouble is the game can run on auto for quite a lot of turns (esp. on "marathon").

Sometimes an "exploring" unit finds something and I want to tweak the course that has been set, but I'm powerless until the next user event.  Is there some way I can cut in and get control back?  A keyboard shortcut? It's not "esc".


texts: Why are there two "GTO TWIN TURBO" cars?

texts:
In Gran Turismo 3, there are two separate Mitsubishi "GTO TWIN TURBO" cars available to purchase.  They have exactly the same price, the same engine, and almost all of the specs are identical.  Besides having different graphics in the list, one is 25mm longer, 30kg lighter, and is available in green rather than blue.

Is there something I'm missing, or are these really nearly identical?  Is there any advantage whatsoever of the heavier car?

EDIT: I just noticed that another Mitsubishi car has a double.  There are two "LANCER EVOLUTION VI GSR Tommi Makinen Edition" cars which are identical in all listed specifications.
