texts: Operation Bloodhound "Side Mission" Progression

texts:
I recently started playing my first ever CS:GO mission assignment.
Upon looking around at the available missions, I noticed most form a path that leads me to earn some stars, allowing me to rank up my Challenge Coin.
However, there are some missions that form a path to, seemingly nothing, as shown in the picture below.

What is the point of completing these missions?

Be it some extra bonus for completing them all, or simply for the extra experience points they give out, I'd like to know why they are there.


texts: Is there any way to silence the robot companion?

texts:
The incessant repetition of "I was just wondering what I could do to please you!" stopped being cute the 3rd time. I couldn't use the pet to heal, because it seemed to be bugged to repeat that phrase every second or two. It's so close to the door of my ship that it chimes off every time I enter/exit.

I'd delete the thing permanently if it would Just Shut Up. I don't suppose someone has figured out a way to replace a file or something similar?


texts: How can I get or make gems above the "Star" level?

texts: I maxed out my jeweler (level 10) and "Star" jewels are the best he can make, though the Auction House shows listings for Flawless, Perfect, and Radiant Star gems (higher levels than "Star"). Are these gems dropped in Inferno or somewhere else? If not, how can I make them? Do "plans" exist for these gem levels somewhere? If so, where can I find them?


texts: What is the optimal path in Yoshis Valley?

texts:
Yoshis valley is an odd course in mario kart. Its a maze, that has 4-5 different ways to get through it.

But is there a way that is noticeably faster than the others?

Question is about the Mario Kart 64 version, but also is it different in the Mario Kart 8 version?


texts: How do I catch a thief without killing him?

texts:
In previous games, when I chased a thief across the rooftops with no weapon but my fists equipped, I could sprint after him with RT (playing on Xbox 360) and when I got close enough, B would turn into Tackle. That enabled me to tackle the thief and take my money back (or re-steal whoever's money he'd already stolen) without killing him. It seems I don't have the Tackle option in Revelations. So is there a way for me to get the thief without killing him?

I tried just beating him up once I managed to catch up to him, but since thieves always run around on precarious rooftops, I punched him off a roof by accident and he died anyway.


texts: I lost all of my people except for 3 girls. How can I get more people? I had 38 before they died. I have a Radio station but I know that takes a very long time.

texts: In ME1 how do you skip a conversation, but not choose an answer?

texts:
I read the subtitles a whole lot faster than the people talk in Mass Effect 1, and I've played the game through once already.

So I'm looking for a way to skip a cutscene without accidentally choosing an answer.

Currently, I'm using Spacebar to skip the dialog; however, since spacebar also selects the dialog option, pressing spacebar one time too many can result in random dialog choices.


texts:
In the Afterbirth DLC there is a new feature called Greed Mode.

According to the Rebirth wikia:

  Each floor has a Curse Room, a Devil Room, a double-wide Shop, and an exit room all connected to a main double-height arena room with a button in the center. An already unlocked Treasure Room with a silver doorframe and a normal locked treasure room are also available.

In the shop, however, it's possible to buy the X-Ray Vision item, which reveals and opens all Secret Room and Super Secret Room entrances.

Before I waste my money, are there any Secret Room in the Greed Mode?

UPDATE:

The Greed Mode wikia page now states that:

  The level may also contain a Secret Room

/testfor BrokenRobot_ {Inventory:[{id:"ender_pearl",Unbreakable:1,Damage:0,Count:1,Slot:9,tag:{display:{Name:"Name"}}}]}

When I /give myself the same item with the same NBT data, and put it in the top-left inventory slot (I'm pretty sure that's slot nine...) it says:

  The entity UUID provided is in an invalid format

So what am I doing wrong?

texts:
Background: I have a fat PS3 which came with an 80GB HDD. I bought a new 500GB HDD so that I could store more games from PS Plus on it.

I followed the official instructions on Sony's website, but encountered something unexpected: it could not find the most updated version of the OS after installing the new HDD.  I followed the on-screen instructions and pressed START + SELECT simultaneously to load the PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP file from my SD card.

After the PS3 read the update, it seemed to be stuck at 99%.  I waited at least an hour, and it was still stuck. Googling this problem, it appears that this is common with update 4.55.

Rather than wait even longer, I decided to reboot.  The system prompts you to press the PS button on the controller, and then it asks to press START + SELECT again.  After that, it installs the system update but gets stuck again at 99%.

Question: How can this fixed?


texts: Can you use Swornbreaker more than once?

texts:
In Divinity: Original Sin 2, the only way to break the  deal with God King is to use this special weapon. There are two of those present in the game: one in three pieces (plan in the Blackgates in 2nd act, blade in the Academy in 3rd act, and the haft kept by the Sallow Man, also in 3rd act), one you get near the end of the game in Arx.

But there are quite a few people that could benefit from it: Windego, Red Princess, Almira and... you, if you've decided to take the deal.

Can you use the two available Swornbreakers to release all those people,  or do you have to make a choice?

texts: Is there a better strategy for beating Agatha at the lowest possible level in Pokémon Red/Blue?

texts:
Inspired by my beating Lorelei with a low-level Pokémon I also did beat Agatha with a lvl 5 Starmie.

My strategy is:

get one Doubleteam up at Gengar (which takes some tries because it
has Nightshade/Confuseray and is faster)
get Substitute up
spam Doubleteam to get +6 evasion
somehow be lucky that Agatha doesn't switch to Golbat and uses Haze,
which removes all stat-changes
spam all x-items (preferably on Agatha's first Gengar) for reapplying
the badge-bonus.
(using a Dire Hit to avoid critical hits would be also a good idea!)
use Psychic

Now in retrospect I should have brought elixirs with me, but it worked out anyway.

But is there a better way, maybe forcing Golbat to switch(and not be hazed) with some trick?

Right now it's a luck-based strategy and I would like to know if there are any tricks, such that the luck part is reduced to a minimum.

Off the top of my hat I see only RNG-manip and I don't know if it's possible that Agatha always uses moves that don't harm me (no Haze would be great!).

texts: Can I download Steam games to an external HDD from a city library or other public PC?

texts:
I grew up in urban areas so I am used to having ready-access to a decent internet connection. However, due to my work/career, in the future I will likely be living in places with little to no internet connection.
I know I will be unable to load up MMOs, but I own many single-player games on Steam - I could probably fill more external hard drives than I could afford or even want to have just on single-player games alone.
Is it possible to download a good selection of games from my Steam library onto an external HDD, at a place with internet access such as a public city library? I don't have a laptop so I will need a physical device to connect an external hard drive to, and bring that to my home computer so I can play those games.
If you are a gamer from rural areas, or used to using very little internet, I would appreciate it if you were able to chime in with your knowledge.


texts:
I know the how Brave and Default work. But something I have not quite paid attention to is what spells like Free Lunch that 'Make MP cost 0 for "two turns"' ACTUALLY mean.

If I Brave 3 times (so when I am up, I do 4 attacks) is that "four turns" so my fourth attack will cost normal MP?

Turn 1: (Free Lunch, Free Summon, Free Summon, 40 MP Summon)

Or is that "one turn" and the next time I get to go I have four more free spells again?

Turn 1: (Free Lunch, Free Summon x3) Turn 2: (Free Summon x4)

Or is it the more complicated, All effects for that turn pretend you are on your first turn and but since I actually spent 3 extra turns I am now down to total turns affected - 4 uses.

Turn 1: (Free Lunch, Free Summon x3) Turn '5': (40 MP Summon)


texts: SetObjectiveCompleted not working while completing the "Blood on the Ice" quest

texts:
I completed the "Blood On The Ice" quest quite a while back and remember having a problem with the "Get assistance from Jorleif" part of the quest.

I completed the quest, but looking in the journal still marks that objective as incomplete:

I am not too savvy with the console commands so really I have been using the UESPWiki pages for help using them. With that said I tried the following:

SetObjectiveCompleted MS11 110 1

When opening the journal again the objective still appears incomplete.

How do I mark that objective as complete?

It's more of an annoyance if anything, but if it means restarting the quest then I could also do that, although I am not sure how and don't know what affect that would have as I just joined the storm cloaks and already have the strange amulet.


texts: X: Beyond the Frontier and Xbox 360 Controller

texts:
A few years ago, I got a software collection with the full version of X BtF on it. At this time I didn't really understood the game, but yesterday I really wanted to give it a try again.

I remember playing it with my Xbox Controller for Windows, which was way more fun than playing it with the keyboard. As I started it again today, the controller wouldnt work in the main menu (I assume it wont work ingame either).
I wanted to reinstall it, but the DVD of the software collection is missing.

Does anyone know what I might try to get it working again?

texts: I play Flower Town on my red 3ds and I haven't bought pots in some time. I use the pot that you can use unlimitedly, but does that pot affect the color of my plants, the plant breed( does it increase the percent of a new breed?), or the plant's seeds?


texts: Wired controller blinking while Xbox is off

texts:
The home-button of my wired Xbox controller is blinking, even though my Xbox 360 is turned off. I've searched around a bit and found out the blinking of wireless controllers is a sign that the battery of the controller is low. But, since my controller is wired, this can't be the issue. What is the reason my controller blinks?

Note that it's not always blinking. Sometimes when the Xbox is off, my button doesn't blink. That's what makes it even more confusing for me.

texts:
I have recently built an Iron golem farm on a multiplayer server (1.15.2).
Here is a screenshot from above:

I have tried resetting their profession and changing their beds twice now and waiting for a full day night cycle but that was without success. I understand that multiplayer servers have a global mob cap but even when I am the only one online on the server the Iron Golems don't spawn.

I have 3 villagers in each pod, by the way.

I have a villager breeder nearby, and a place where I keep a ton of villagers pretty close, does that affect the spawning of the iron golems? I do see some Iron Golems spawning near the breeder from time to time.


texts: How does Magic Find affect iLvl 61+ drops with 5NV?

texts:
Possible Duplicate:
  How does magic find work?

June 28 - Blizzard posted an update to iLvl 61+ drop rates, prompting this question of how magic find affects end-game drops.  Blizzard has stated that with 5 stacks of NV a boss will drop "at least 2 rare items" and Inferno act III & IV drop rates are as follows:

 | iLvl 61 |    27.1%|
 | iLvl 62 |    21.7%|
 | iLvl 63 |    16.3%|

Does MF gear apply directly to these rates?  For instance with 100% MF would the drop rates be as follows?

           |  0% MF  | 100% MF |
 | iLvl 61 |    27.1%|    54.2%|
 | iLvl 62 |    21.7%|    43.4%|
 | iLvl 63 |    16.3%|    32.6%|

Since the total chance for a iLvl 61+ piece of gear now exceeds 100% what gets "pushed off" the table?

Or am I headed in completely the wrong direction - does MF instead work on the "at least 2 rare items" portion of the loot table, where MF increases the chance of additional rare loot drops and doesn't affect the iLvl chance of the loot dropped?

I've owned all the other DOPs but I am hesitant to have a repeat of my Magic Online purchase. What I had liked about the previous DOPs was that I spent a contained amount of money and remained competitive ($10 for the base, $5 for the expansion, 3 $2 pack expansions for a total of $21). Is that still going to be true with this game?

texts: Is there anyway to stop a download on Steam?

texts:
Steam recently started downloading an update for Super Monday Night Combat. Remembering the fact that the game never ran properly for me, and that I was unable to ever find any fix, I impatiently paused the download and deleted all local files from my computer.

The problem is, Steam is still trying to download the update. I've already restarted Steam. Even tried to uninstall the game completely, but it's still trying to download this update! I'd rather avoid having to hunt down the specific files and remove them manually.

Is there any way I can force this download to stop?


texts: Minecraft - Multiple PlotMe Worlds On One Server

texts:
I'm wondering if it would be possible to have two (or more) plotme worlds on one server?

So far my permissions allow users to do /p auto in any world. This teleports them to the one and only plotme world.

The way I think might work would be editing the permissions so only users in one of the plotme worlds can claim a plot. This would then hopefully make it so that you can claim a plot in World 1 and another in World 2 - hopefully all using the one plugin.

Any help would be of great appreciation!

A couple of notes:

I'm running Spigot 1.8
I've got other worlds as well (if it mattered...) ie. survival, spawn world etc.

Should collectors be prioritized when attacking for loot? Or should storages?
What troops should I use to get either storages or collectors?

I'd like to know about these questions for all the resources (gold/elixir/dark elixir), thanks.

texts: I made a mine that led into a cave. The cave is in a slime chunk so as you expect slimes spawn there big and small. They gave a great source of slime balls that I could use for sticky pistons. So that made me thinking... how about a slime farm, but how the heck do I do that. I know slimes don't have a pathfinding ability so they would just jump into ravines when they try to attack you and I know they drown after spending 15 seconds in water but how do I make the actual farm mechanics. What I want is after the farm kills the slimes and the slimeballs are carried by water into a soul sand/ magma block propelled water current that sends it to the world surface. There a hopper collects the slimeballs and puts it in a chest. Unless there's a better way to do it. So basically my question is: How do I make the slime farm functional and fully automatic?

The main series also has Pokemon Centers, where I can heal all of my Pokemon without using items. However, I haven't seen any in Pokemon Go. Are they only available in denser urban areas?

texts: Is there any way to solve the bug with BB-8's mission on D'Qar?

texts:
I've finished the storyline on Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens (PS4 version, if it makes a difference), and am now mopping up the extra tasks.  However, one of the BB-8 race missions on D'Qar is glitching out on me.  I switch to BB-8, start the mission, and a loading screen appears (with the mission's countdown timer at the top of the screen).  But the loading screen never leaves, so I can't do the mission - I wind up having to force-quit and restart the game in order to do anything else.

Here's a video demonstrating what I mean.

Is there any known workaround?  Or am I just going to have to wait and hope for a patch?

texts: How much does Assist Research actually help?

texts:
There are periods during my galactic empire's inevitable ascendancy in which there are no systems for my science ships to survey, as we are already omniscient concerning our vast and glorious holdings.

During these periods, I can order each of my science ships to "Assist Research" at a colony until such time as they have real work to do.

However, there comes a time when we have learned all there is to be learned about all the galaxy's celestial bodies. Given that there is nothing left to be surveyed, I must decide if it is worth keeping the science ships around just to Assist Research.

How much do they help? What factors are involved? Do they boost just that one planet or my whole empire?


texts: Why is Pyro Pete the Invincible not dropping Seraph Crystals?

texts:
I finished the Torgue DLC on playthrough 2, and decided to kill Pyro Pete the Invincible to get myself some Seraph Crystals. I had seen many videos on Youtube showing him dropping a mess of them, and he seemed the easiest of the Seriph Invincibles to farm. I did the mission for Moxxi to spawn him the first time, killed him, turned in the quest, and returned to Pete's Bar.

I took the elevator down, spent the 8 eridium, and he did not hop down. The board was dark, and my 8 eridium was gone, but no Pete. I saved and quit, retried, and this time he did spawn.  I killed him, and he dropped no legendaries, no crystals, and only 4 eridium.

Frustrated, I saved and quit, and tried again; he took my 8 eridium, and again failed to jump down. Of the next 20 attempts he failed to jump down 3 times, beat me 2 times, and the other 15 (when I beat him) he dropped no legendaries and no Seraph Crystals.

I was using my lv 61 Soldier that has completed the main storyline for ultimate vault hunter mode (playthrough 3) so Pete is not too hard to kill, but there is no point if he drops nothing.

Is Pete's refusal to drop Seraph Crystals due to my being 9 levels higher than him? Is it because I have not completed Scarlette's DLC yet? Do I have to beat Hyperious once first? If I have to beat Hyperious, can i di it in Normal Mode (Playthrough 1), or do I have to beat him in Playthrough 2?

What (if anything) can I do to resolve this, and start getting some Seraph Crystals?

Due to this, I was wondering if it is possible to switch sides in Ingress, from Enlightened to Resistance and vice versa? If it is possible, are there any side effects to doing so?


texts: How do I get the xbox live patch? For more maps and hero assault?

texts:
I have been reading in various places that the Hero Assault mode in Battlefront 2 (available by default only on the Mos Eisley map) is available on more maps with an xbox live patch.

I've been trying to figure out how on earth to get this patch, and I can't figure it out. I'm playing on a 360, and I'm a little worried it just doesn't really apply.

I want to play Hero Assault on more maps!


texts: Path based signalling with dual-sided stations

texts:
I have just been introduced to Path Based Signalling (referred to as PBS) by a friend, and no matter how much I read I can't seem to figure out how to get a station to work properly which has trains coming in from both sides.

I have ended up with using Path Signal behind each platform entrance to 'terminate' the reserved train paths to allow other trains to reserve a path across the signal block. I have included a screenshot to better illustrate my current way of working with these new signals.

I have circled the One-Way Path Signals to highlight them.

As you can see, this setup works okay as the first trains reserved path is terminated allowing the second train (grain/livestock) to enter the station.

I'd like to know is this optimal, or even correct usage of these signals?

The problem is that once the first enemy is killed the townies decide to collect the loot and bring it back. Because they start this so soon there's often more enemies around making the collection run pretty dangerous.


texts: We bought Rock Band 3 and want to do the song transfer which will take 1.9 gigs.  Can I delete the main Rock Band 2 content to free space?


texts:
In the lore of Diablo-3 you can see that the heroes have a specific background, with own lore and reason to enter this journey to kill evil, get revenge, etc.

those are.

The female Demon Hunter.

  The female Demon Hunter in Diablo III fled from her village as a child
  during a demonic invasion. She was the only survivor. After days, she
  was found by a Demon Hunter and was taken in as a member. Since every
  Demon Hunter has a story like this, it is possible that the background
  for the male character will be similar.

Source

The female Wizard.

  This 19 year old female wizard was sent to the Zann Esu mage clan, but
  later handed over to the powerful Vizjerei since she was a "rude and
  uncooperative student," that the smaller mage clan could not control.
  They hoped the harsh discipline at Vizjerei "would break her anarchic
  spirit." Yet even the Vizjerei instructors were unable to rein her in.
  She was continually being caught seeking out dangerous and forbidden
  magics without care for herself or anyone around her.

Source

The male Monk.

  The monk serves the Elder Monks of the monastery, who seek to destroy
  evil in all forms. He thinks of himself as the weapon of the gods
  against all that is evil. He is a peaceful, patient and good man who
  aids those who suffer, with no hatred against anyone, in contrast to
  the Barbarian. He is adept in Martial Arts, being able to defeat
  multiple foes without the aid of weapons.

Source

The male Barbarian.

  This is actually the same individual from Diablo 2. He's aged twenty
  years, and he's got a personality in this game. Look at his gear; his
  [[armor]] has points on which he could impale himself. It's extra
  protection for the harsh environment, but it's also dangerous to him.
  The day to day life characters lead in this world is very hard.

Source

The male Witch Doctor.

  The fearsome Witch Doctor of the umbaru is believed to be a legend by
  many, but Abd al-Hazir has seen them with his own eyes, documented in
  the thirteenth entry of his writings.

  The second most sacred belief of the tribes is their philosophy of
  self-sacrifice and non-individuality, of suppressing one's
  self-interest for the good of the tribe. Their most current war
  created an intense social upheaval among the tribes due to an
  incident, of which details are lacking, but might be the reason the
  Witch Doctor has traveled west to Tristram.

Source

But in no place (neither game or web) I found the real names of those amazing heroes. Did I miss some lore in-game where they talk about it? or you must be nameless to fight against the evil?

texts: How do I build above-ground fortress features?

texts:
I try to keep the above-ground sections of my fortress limited to just a few necessary functions but I always felt like I was a little unprepared when goblin attacks started flowing in. I could wall myself off but I would rather just give myself an absurd advantage over various maladies that visit.

I wanted to make a small vertical fortress entrance surrounded by a ground-level wall and bridge and then a second level of fortifications accessed by an up stair to a level (or at least a ring) of artificial floors. My archers can then just patrol the fortifications and kill anything in sight without risk of painful punches.

Floor 1 (just a ring of walls with one ^ up stair):

OOOO
O^ O
O  O
OOOO

I'm having trouble building floors (or walls) on my second level though. All the second level squares are either red or purple X characters (purple being "No access to building material non economic item" which doesn't make sense because I can build more walls on the ground floor).

How can I build walls and floors above this level?


texts: TvZ: how to handle quick zerg transitions?

texts:
Yesterday I played Terran against Zerg (that is actually 1-2 leagues better then me). I played pretty well half of the game. It was something like this:

I scouted Zerg too late (Metalopolis map), my mistake;
Zerg made quick expo, I did too;
Few minutes Zerg was leading in drone amount (he had around 45-50 drones, I had - around 35 SCVs), but it was mostly compensated with my MULEs, also I did him hellion drop and killed around 15 drones;
mutas killed my medivacs in the end of drop.

Middle game:

I made 2nd expansion, zerg did 2 more. I denied his 1 and killed drones on the 2nd exp (so he left on 3 bases with around 40 drones), he denied my 2nd exp (so I left on 2 bases with 40 SCVs too).

The next thing was his mutas+ultralisk+lings+bannelings attack on my natural. I had enough Vikings, marines, medivacs, some banshees, and had time to save all my SCVs. He lost whole army, but I saved 5-6 vikings, few banshees. So it was more or less good for me.

The end.

Still, I had few problems (as I saw from replay):

I had some minerals/gas left and didn't mine for some time...
I didn't have enough production facilities (4 barracks, 3 factories, 2 star-ports) to build enough army in time... Actually, that is not so small for 2 bases, right?

Next his push was mainly consisted from bannelings + zerlings... (more then 50 banelings). He destroyed both my CCs...

But if I had enough production facilities, I still could't know what should I build: helions? tanks? thors? banshee or vikings?

If I have map control I can see his army coming in 20-30 seconds, but I won't be able to build enough army to defend for this time...

My own summaries: I needed to scout him earlier and try to deny expansions earlier... probably in this way he would have less larvas/minerals... and I will be able to build enough and proper army in time...

But:

Question 1: how can you know what kind of army expect from Zerg (if he has all 3: ban.nest, roach warren, spire)?

Possible answer: Just to push constantly and keep him under pressure without giving any chance to produce more or less big army?

Question 2: If I am correct, how can you push and still keep your base well defended (against quick mutas/zerlings)?

Possible answer: the best deffence is offence... but still, you need to be able to react on 5-7 mutas mineral line harassment...

Any other thoughts are welcome.


texts:
In Dark Souls 1 there were several enemies that would commonly drop Humanity that were within a reasonable farming time. There are more than a few enemies in Dark Souls 2 that drop Effigies as well (essentially the same item). But in Dark Souls 2 enemies can only be killed 12 times before they disappear, meaning you only have 12 chances (sans Bonfire Ascetic) to kill anything and hope it drops something. So, while you might get a few it isn't nearly as much as you had access to in Dark Souls 1. This means you can cause your character to be permanently debilitated and get stuck behind a boss that you can't quite beat on your own.

So how can I farm (or buy) Effigy's or restore my humanity consistently?

When I press E on them, it has an option to tell them to follow me, no option to open inventory, and no option to dismiss them. When I choose the option for them to follow me, it does nothing. I tried disabling every follower related mod, I've tried dismissing followers through console, I tried reloading a save, and I even tried disabling and re-enabling the followers. Worse part is, if I go recruit a new follower they work fine, but I can't do anything with these two. Any way to fix this?

texts: What is the base value of various 'Fortify' potions and enchantments?

texts:
I am playing Skyrim SE with most graphical/texture/ENB mods (on Linux) and Vokrii for talents.
I would like to reinforce my enchanting by crafting potions of Fortify Enchanting and now I managed to get +60% combined Fortify Alchemy gear (15% a piece).
When I try to craft such potion, it goes from 4% without gear, to 7%.
Is the base value of this potion 4%?
Where can I find such base values?
I guess I could use the Fortify Enchanting --> Fortify Alchemy loop for some tries, but how much can I leverage it? Is there an overall cap?
I understand that with Vokrii talents I could level up to 100 Alchemy and get 100% boost (hence I would imagine the base to go 4% --> 8%).
Again, trying to run glitch-less.
Thanks!


texts:
In Castle Clash a "Blessed Tome" grants one of my heros 100,000 EXP, now I have only just started a new game after being away from the game for atleast a year and these tomes are a slightly different mechanic in the game than I am used to.

Can anyone tell me the level at which my hero should be before I grant him that much EXP?

I ask because:

A) There are "walls" that block the heros EXP gain after 20 levels (sort of like a prestige) and this Tome tops them out at Level 60 even. (this is the level block my heros are at at the moment, after just turning level 40 and have "Prestiged".)

B) I have no idea how much experience is needed to get to each "wall" I want to know when my heros will be high enough level to gain all 100,000 EXP from this tome?

I have been granted 3 of these tomes as a prize for something which I can't remember what and I dont want to waste the excess EXP...

Is it because I'm playing a different/censored version? I bought my cartridge at Germany, so its probably the Europe version, I'm saying this because there might be an extra/censored content like it was on the japanese version of Street of Rage (Bare knuckles).

texts: What is causing some custom sounds to not follow the player?

texts:
I'm working on an adventure map in Java Minecraft that requires sounds to be played to the player. These sounds should follow the player around such that the origin of the sound is the player themselves. I achieve this using the command:
/execute at @r run playsound minecraft:demo.demointro master @a ~ ~ ~ 1

This works properly. The sounds.json file located inside the resource pack's assets/minecraft folder has listed the sound, demointro like so:
},
    "demo.demointro": {
        "category": "master",
        "sounds": [
            {
                "name": "demo/demointro",
                "stream": true
        }]

I have another sound which I also wish to have play in a similar manner. It's called "28". The command I am using to play this sound appears like this:
/execute at @r run playsound minecraft:demo.28 master @a ~ ~ ~ 1

and inside of the sounds.json file, it is structured like this:
},
    "demo.28": {
        "category": "master",
        "sounds": [
            {
                "name": "demo/28",
                "stream": true

            }]

However, when the command to play this sound is run, it only plays within the radius of the given coordinates (in the case of this command, it would be ~ ~ ~) instead of wherever the player goes. What is going on here, and why is this not working the way I feel it should?
I've recorded a short video which demonstrates my problem in action:

Don't get me wrong, I've read Blizzard's announcment on patch 1.0.3, and this post as well Which parts of Inferno Act 1 actually drop ilvl 63 items?.

What I want to ask is that, do you get a rarer drop versus elites/champions for bosses? Because I have 220% magic find and I'm actually getting more rare drops from elites/champions (1 - 3) than a boss fight alone (1), and if there isn't any difference, I might as well start hunting for elites/champs than farming all the way to a boss in Inferno.


texts: I've been having a bit of trouble with stockpiles being ignored, so I checked to see if they were actually there in the first place.

If not, does anyone know why they won't create and how to fix it?


texts: Different commands select different entities (with the same target selector)

texts:
I was trying to set the scoreboard values of certain entities with a command like

/execute @e[type=ArmorStand] ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~-1 ~ stone 0 scoreboard players set @e[c=1] myObj 1

and I noticed that it updated my score instead of the armor stand's.
It was my understanding that the selector @e[c=1] selected the nearest entity, which should be the armor stand that is executing the command. To test this, I used the command

/execute @e[type=ArmorStand] ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~-1 ~ stone 0 say @e[c=1]

and it said "Armor Stand", not my name.

This seems inconsistent. Is there a reason for this behavior or is it a bug? Is there a way to reliably select the entity that is executing the command?

P.S.: The same thing happens if I place a command block next to the armor stand and let it execute the commands: scoreboard players set @e[c=1] myObj 1 targets me (even though I am further away), but say @e[c=1] says "Armor Stand".

texts: How long does it take a Widow Mine to attack an enemy unit?

texts:
I have been trying to incorporate the new Widow Mine unit into my army. When I burrow the Widow Mine their is a circle that indicates it's attack radius. However, I have noticed that when enemy units enter into it's attack radius, the Widow Mine's ability Unstable Payload doesn't activate instantly.

Instead the Widow Mine takes "a few seconds" and then fires it's missile. This has become increasingly perplexing as I have seen:

  Zerglings run partly into and then out of the firing radius of a Widow Mine without the ability triggering.
  Zerglings on Creep with the Metabolic Boost run through the attack radius of a Widow Mine without it detonating.

How long does an enemy unit need to be in the attack radius of a Widow Mine for the Unstable Payload ability to be triggered?

texts: Zerg: How to regularly create drones without watching?

texts:
I'm new to playing Zerg and would like some advice:

I have hatchery on hotkey 4 and I'm not supply blocked.

If I press 4 → s → d while watching something else (some scout for example), sometimes it successfully creates a drone, and sometimes it fails (because there are 0 larva) but it will produce exactly the same audio sounds.

Is there an audio way to be noticed when the drone spawning has not been launched? Or do you have to quit micro/scouting and check the unit count each time you try to spawn a drone? Or just spam 4 → s → d so often it doesn't matter if it fails?

texts:
As you guys might know, there are things in TF2 called strange parts, add-ons to your weapons that count specific things. For example, the amount of damage you have dealt, number of allies you have extinguished, etc.

However, I have some queries regarding how certain strange parts mean and how they count kills. Here they are:

Strange Part: Freezecam Taunt Appearances

Does this strange part only count your victim's killcam? Or does it include your taunt apperances in other people kill cam?

Strange Part: Full Moon Kills

What does Valve mean by 'Full Moon Kills'? Kills during Halloween? Or on certain maps where there is a full moon?

Strange Part: Airborne Enemies Killed

Does 'Airborne Enemies' include enemies that are jumping? For example, scouts that are high up in mid-air or just random enemies that jumped when you killed them.

Strange Part: Point-Blank Kills

How close is 'point-blank' close?

Strange Part: Allied Healing Done

How about health you have restored with a health pack that you picked up, does that count? Or dropping a sandvich. Does healing yourself count as 'allied health'?


texts: I teleported too high on my Minecraft server

texts:
My friends own a Minecraft server and I was playing around with commands when I teleported to y 100000000000000000000000000000000 just because I wanted to see how high maps could go. That was a big mistake. Now every time I go on the server I crash.

I don't have access to the server files and I don't have the owner's email or phone number or anything and I'm the only one that plays on the server. I know that one solution is to make a new Minecraft character but that would involve me to pay.

Is there some way I can delete my player information or change the location without access to the server files? I don't want to leave the server because I've been building a castle for 3 months now and I don't want to give up that easy.

When I am playing Support in bottom lane vs. Caitlyn (plus her Support) and she keeps putting her Traps in the brush, how do I react to that? Should I try to take them out in a safe second (by walking over them) or, is it better to just leave them there?
I mean, at the moment I'd rather clean the brush when it's safe, because with my Alistar, I can just heal up again and so those traps won't be in the way if there is an emergency.
But I just want to know if this is really the right way to go, or if I should instead leave them there?

texts: "Unsupported Graphics Card" in Epic Games Launcher (GTX 1080)

texts:
I'm trying to play Fortnite on my PC but it does not work. When I install the Epic Games Launcher (I'm on Windows 10) it throws the error:

  There is a problem with your graphics card. Please ensure your card meets the minimum system requirements and that you have the latest drivers installed.

I have an NVIDIA GTX 1080, so it certainly meets the minimum system requirements. The drivers are also up-to-date (I just  checked from GeForce Experience) and all other games work perfectly.

How can I troubleshoot this issue?

UPDATE: apparently Steam Big Picture is very laggy, it runs at 1080p maximum and it says I'm running with "Microsoft Basic Render Driver 0 bytes", as if drivers were not installed. This doesn't make sense because - for instance - The Witcher 3 runs at High in 4k at decent framerate.

UPDATE #2: now all 3D apps are crashing. I don't know what TH is going on. Windows Update also just failed, dunno if related

UPDATE #3: I switched my GPU to the Intel Integrated Graphics from BIOS, then I moved my DP cable to the Mobo port and started Windows. At first, Steam still recognised the GPU as "Microsoft Basic Render Driver", but - after installing Intel Video Drivers - Steam detected my integrated 530 GPU correctly. I started a game with very low graphics settings (I didn't have my GTX 1080 enabled so graphics were weak) and it didn't have any issue. After reverting back to NVIDIA graphics, Steam still seems to be using the iGPU. Games will sometimes crash and sometimes work with the NVIDIA GPU, in some cases (e.g. The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition) a window will pop up saying that Direct3D 9.0 couldn't be initialized. Witcher 3 works though (unless Steam BPM is also running). I guess I screwed up my install and I'll have to resort to a C: wipe... Oh, and - quite ironically - Fortnite is one of the few things to work!

For some reason, Lydia won't wear her armor when I give it to her. I've tried just your basic steel stuff, Elven boots and gauntlets, and a myriad of other things and none of them equip. When I bring up her inventory, the shield, jewelry, and weapon I've given her has a little arrow next to it to show it's equipped. This arrow doesn't appear on any of the armor items. I've tried taking the items away from her and giving them back; removing everything except armor from her inventory; telling her to leave and then making her follow me again—none of them have worked.

I'm starting to think she just hates me (I do scream expletives at her every time she blocks a doorway or does something else stupid). But seriously, she needs to put on her armor. Help please?

texts: How to achive a highly eccentric polar orbit around the sun oriented orthogonal to the ecliptic?

texts:
How do I get a communication satellite into a highly eccentric polar orbit around the sun, oriented orthogonal to the ecliptic in the most efficient manner?

The idea is that this orbit would create a relay that would be outside of the ecliptic and would have a direct line of sight to almost anywhere inside the ecliptic.

Thoughts so far:

How can I use Jool to put a spacecraft into a solar polar orbit?
I need a high altitude to efficiently perform the inclination change
I can use gravity assists only while I'm more or less still in the ecliptic ... so I should do the inclination change starting with the last gravity assist
If my eccentricity is not circle-ish after I do the inclination change I have to rotate the argument of the periapsis around the sun

Which leads me to the following order of maneuvers:

use Duna to get into a highly eccentric solar orbit that encounters Jool
use Jool to assist with the inclination change to solar polar orbit
make orbit circle-ish
fly over the sun and reduce the periapsis until the orbit is highly eccentric again - this time its orthogonal to the ecliptic though
optional: fly to periapsis and reduce the apoapsis to around 30% of the maximum range of the used communication antennas.

My actual question: Is this the most efficient way and if not what could I do to reduce the ΔV cost even more?


texts: How do the super power upgrades that work differently for each element, work for the 'Explosive' element (Element of Destruction Pack DLC)?

texts:
The Element of Destruction Pack DLC introduces the 'Explosive' element for all super powers: Explosive Chain Blast, Telekinetic Time Bomb, Airstrike Stomp and Explosive Buff.

There are upgrades that affect all elements and may work differently for each element. Since the game currently does not have a description of what these upgrades do for the 'Explosive' element, I am wondering what their effects are for it.

The upgrades are the ff:

Blast

Damage
Explosive Deaths (Since the Explosive element already explodes affected enemies upon their deaths - what does this upgrade do for it?)

Telekinesis

Hold Cost (How much energy is consumed?)
Power Up 1 and 2

Stomp

Damage
Duration

Buff

Team Player  (Will nearby homies become immune or take less damage from explosions, or will they have a chance of firing explosive bullets?)

For the damage, duration and power up upgrades, what increases and how exactly does it increase?


texts: Is there a safe way to kill Orbinauts (4-spike enemies) as Tails/Knuckles?

texts:
In Sonic 3 (and Sonic 3 & Knuckles), there is an enemy known as an Orbinaut  that appears in the Launch Base Zone. It protects itself with 4 spike-balls that orbit it's body.

Unlike the Star Pointer, Orbinauts don't fire their spikes (ergo leaving them vulnerable), and it doesn't seem possible to melt/destroy them with a shield (both possible with the Star Pointer):

Playing as Sonic, it is possible (but relatively hard in regards to timing) to kill these enemies using the Insta-shield attack (tapping Jump again in mid-air). However, Tails and Knuckles' abilities are to Fly and Glide respectively, which don't seem to be effective at killing them.

Having recently embarked on a playthrough trying to kill as many Badniks per level as possible, I'm a little stumped on how to kill them safely, without either

Using Invincibility boxes (not readily available)
Going Super

Which Tails can't do in Sonic 3 anyway: only in Sonic 3 & Knuckles and obtaining the Super Emeralds can he go Super (and only on a second playthrough can he do this in Launch Base Zone)

Taking a hit and relying on the invincibility frames to get through the spike balls and kill the badnik (losing my current shield or rings in the process).

Am I approaching them at the wrong angle? (i.e. Top-down or Spin Dash) Or is there another way to reliably take them out?

Now I'm sick of him playing on my phone all the time, but every time I log into his laptop with my email address and password for 'username 2', it says "incorrect password". If I enter my email and 'username 1's password, it goes into the boring first account with no purchases!

How do I log my son into the laptop using 'username 2' and access all of the worlds/skins and purchases?

texts:
My brother and I still have a copy of the GBA game The Legend of Zelda Link to the Past/Four Swords and we recently found out that there is bonus content for Link to the Past when one has beaten Four Swords. The only problem is, we don't know anyone else who has GBA Four Swords and a link cable.

texts: What's the difference between Miss Fortune and Mysterious Stranger?

texts:
The Vault describes both perks in shorthand with the following text:

  Chance that name will finish off a target in VATS.

Where name is either Miss Fortune or Mysterious Stranger. However, the official perk text for them is slightly different. For Miss Fortune:

  Just when your enemies think they have
  the upper hand, Miss Fortune appears
  to turn their world upside down.
  Appearing only in V.A.T.S., she has
  the ability to snatch defeat from the
  jaws of victory.

For Mysterious Stranger:

  You've gained your own personal
  guardian angel... armed with a fully
  loaded .44 Magnum. With this perk, the
  Mysterious Stranger will appear
  occasionally in V.A.T.S. mode to lend
  a hand, with deadly efficiency.

Is there any functional difference other than gender, or is that it?

I've found the entrance to Lab 19, and I'm at the part of the mission where it asks me to enter the authentication code in order to open the door.  I head to the room with the authenticator, and I can see it, but can't do anything with it.

If I jump close to it, I get a chance to interact with it, but nothing happens.  I've tried interacting with it then running back to Lab 19 to activate that console, but it says I still haven't entered the proper code.  There's another console in the room that I've tried using, but it doesn't seem to do anything either.  It seems like the game wants me to detach the authenticator from the wall and take it with me, but shooting or meleeing it doesn't do anything, and I can't get the robotic arm to move either, which would seem like the obvious solution.

Am I just doing this wrong, or missing something simple here?  Does this need to be done in a co-op game?  I don't know, and need a little help.

For the sake of simplicity, let's assume our pokemons are not optimal nor suboptimal, meaning their types has no advantage or disadvantage against the raid boss.

texts: How is Rip and Tear bonus damage in Jupiter Hell calculated?

texts:
The description for the Marine skill "Rip and Tear" states:

Rip and tear! You prefer to handle your enemies face to face. Or chainsaw to face. Your percentage of Fury becomes a damage bonus to melee attacks (half at level 1), and you generate +1 Fury per melee kill (+2 per each additional level of this trait).

The bonus damage calculation is a little ambiguous however: is my Fury converted to a percent modifier, and that is added to my damage? Or is my percent of max Fury converted to said modifier? That is, suppose I have 20/40 Fury, and I have Rip and Tear 2. Is my bonus damage 20% (because I have 20 fury), or 50% (because I have half my max fury)?

Later on when I went to craft a new weapon (found silver by this point) I noticed my copper broadsword had a green line at the bottom (+12% damage if I remember rightly).

My question is, when did this happen? I didn't do anything special when I crafted it (is that even possible?) so all I've been doing is running around digging and killing enemies. My only guess is I smashed a pot and inside was the same sword with this enchantment so it replaced it.

Any ideas?

I am new in submitting pokestop  nominations. So I nominated 2 pokestops of my area. Almost 4 days passed , i still find it in queue in my niantic wayfarer account. I am afraid whether it is the procedure or an error occurred while submitting the nomination.
So,  how long did nomination take to get into voting from in queue.
What is the minimum and maximum waiting time it might be ?
If number of players matter , in this case, our town has almost 15+ players of pokemon go with level 38 or 38+ accounts along with me.
Thank you


texts: Can I do anything about a grenade in Mass Effect 3?

texts:
Every time I see a grenade fall near me, I try to pick it up and throw it back. This leads to a badly overcooked Shepard pie.

Is there anything I can do about a nearby grenade other than run away? Can I deactivate it, throw it back, or push it away somehow?


texts: Custom music in The Sims 3 for various modes?

texts:
A feature I loved about The Sims 2 was how easy it was to customize music for the various modes -- buy, build, neighborhood, etc.

As far as I can tell, The Sims 3 only lets you add music to the custom music folder -- no customization for various modes :-(

Does anyone know if it is possible to somehow include custom music per mode?


texts: How to clear a control group in Starcraft 2?

texts:
Using Ctrl+# or Shift+# or right clicking n the number boxes will set the current selected units to be a control group. E.g. I'm selecting two Stalkers and hit Ctrl-1 to set control group #1

Now I want to clear group #1, i.e. when hitting keyboard 1 nothing is selected.

How can I do that?


texts: How do I destroy the penguin mothership?

texts:
Also finally constructing the distress beacon and activating it, a gigantic penguin summoning UFO attacked and quickly killed me. When I returned to my world it was no longer there for me to try again.

So of course I gathered the distress beacon materials again and gave this another go (being more cautious this time). I hit the UFO a few times with my iron hunting bow to very, very little effect. The penguins also took quite a few shots to bring down. I attempted to melee the penguins to kill them faster and was once again killed almost instantaneously.

Before I waste a third distress beacon (finding those materials is a huge pain), what level of armor/weaponry should I have? I've done a bit of exploring on this planet and have found no structures with anything that might help me (save for one empty Apex outpost, still no help).


texts: Not getting daily rewards on Infinite Warfare Zombies?

texts: I got a daily reward, and then went back on the next day after that and got nothing. I went on again the next day after that and still got nothing. About three days after that I finally got my daily reward. Since when do 'daily' rewards take three days to refresh? Why? I need my salvage ;_;


texts: Manning the LMG in Operation Swordbreaker

texts:
In Battlefield 3, during Operation Swordbreaker, there is a point where you are told to "Get up on the wall and man the LMG".

I can get up there and man it and then prone, but I keep getting killed shortly after that. Anyone have a good strategy for getting past this point?


texts: How do I get the Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity in Baldur's Gate 2?

texts:
on the wikia for the Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity it says

  The Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity can be found on the body of the girdle ogre in the Coast Way

and the Categories for that page include both Enhanced Editions of Baldur's Gate. yet looking at the world maps it seems Baldur's Gate 2 is different.

I haven't played Baldur's Gate 2 yet and I've only know that there is a character import from the first game to the second because I have seen this talked about when talking about Duel Classing, as such so I don't know whether I can return to the Baldur's Gate 1 World Map in the second game or not or whether I keep my inventory when I import my character.

So I am wondering, how do I get the Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity in Baldur's Gate 2?


texts: Is there a way to drop a lit torch in my house?

texts:
I dropped a torch in my house in whiterun and somehow it was lit. It was actually very helpful as it lit up dark areas of the house. Is there a way to make this happen again (on xbox)?
I can't seem to make this happen again.
