texts: How do I make effective use of the Mortar?

texts:
I've recently unlocked the Mortar for the Support kit which I've been wanting to get my hands on to take out pesky snipers. I've managed to get a couple of kills before someone hunts me down and shoots me in the back or I get killed by an enemy mortar. I also have difficulty hitting moving people as the shell takes around 8-12 seconds to impact the ground. I use it extensively in Rush around the MCOMs - both attacking and defending - by firing in the general area of the MCOM and I end up with a couple of kills or kill assists.

It it a good idea to stay in one spot, or fire a couple of shells, move, fire a couple more, move again, etc?

How do I switch between smoke/explosive shells? Or is it an unlock for the mortar?

Is there any point in using it against heavy vehicles (i.e. Tanks, AA, etc?) or should I just use it against infantry and for taking out enemy explosive?

texts: How Do Wall Kicks Work In Tetris Friends?

texts:
I am trying to program a Tetris clone based very closely off of Tetris Friends 2 Player Battle mode.

Is anyone very familiar with how wall kicks work in this game? Or know where to find reference material on the subject?

I have read up on SRS and DTET, but unless I am mistaken neither of them perfectly describes how wall kicks work in Tetris Friends (rotation matches SRS identically when not considering wall kicks).

One particular behavior that has been confusing me is how Tetris Friends handles situations where either a kick upwards or to the side might be appropriate. Tetris Friends behaves like this with the line piece in this case:

 Before          After
........        ........
........        ..X.....
..XXXX..        ..X.....
....0...  --->  ..X.0...
...00...        ..X00...
...00...        ...00...

When I would have expected one of the following:

Kick Left      Kick Right
...X....        .....X..
...X....        .....X..
...X....        .....X..
...X0...  --->  ....0X..
...00...        ...00...
...00...        ...00...

Can anyone explain this behavior? Even if Tetris Friends has a strange and unique wall kick system, I'd still like to match it as closely as I can. Is anyone familiar with it?

What is the most efficient (in regards to time and resources) method to fully max out these skills?

texts: Does soul collection conflict with item collection?

texts:
I was farming in The King's Passage using the Jester's Hat and the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring +1, but at the same time I had the Jester's Gloves and the Covetous Silver Serpent's Ring +2 on as well to boost my soul collection. I was also consuming Rusted Coins with every run to help boost the item find rate.

After all 7 runs (the enemies had stopped spawning) all I had found was one Stone Parma and a set of Llewelyn Leggings. That's pretty terrible considering the last few times I ran through there I managed to get at least 4 shields, 2 armour sets, 2 stone twin blades and 3 titanite slabs.

Is it possible that my soul farming gear was interfering with my item farming gear?

texts: AV to HDMI 1080p Scaler Video Converter Outputting Sound But Not Video

texts:
I'm trying to connect my N64 to my HP 22cwa HD monitor. I'm using an Enko Products AV to HDMI 1080p Scaler Video Converter box (as the title states). I have everything plugged in, but when turn everything on, the audio comes through but not the video. The N64 works fine on my TV at home (I'm at college which is why I'm using my monitor), so it's not the N64. The monitor is supposed to automatically switch between video inputs, but when it scans for the HDMI input, it doesn't pick anything up. Based on all this, I can only assume I either am completely oblivious to something I need to do, or the HDMI cord itself is messed up (it's brand-new). Is there anything else I should check? What would be the next logical course of action in my troubleshooting?

Here's a video of someone successfully doing what I'm trying to do (albeit with a different converter box):


texts: Prevent steamcloud updating keyboard config

texts:
I have a desktop computer with a big keyboard and a laptop with a laptop keyboard (both Macs). I'm left handed so I tend to configure the numeric keypad to do what the WSAD keys normally do so I can use the keyboard with my right hand.  Of course the laptop doesn't have a numeric keypad so I configure that to use the keys to the right of the keyboard instead.

Unfortunately, whenever I play a steam cloud game (Portal 2, Left 4 Dead, TF2, etc), it downloads the keyboard configuration I used last. If the last keyboard I used was the laptop then the desktop keys get moved to a less-than-comfortable position.  Worse, if the last keyboard was the desktop, then the laptop gets configured to use keys that don't even exist!

How to I keep the steamcloud enabled games from sharing their keyboard configurations without preventing them from sharing the other data that gets pushed to the cloud?

texts:
I've been playing Skyrim and have came across what I think is a bug.

During the quest "A Night to Remember" I have found two items missing. When I went to rescue Gleda the Goat from the giant neither Gleda nor the giant was there. There was just an arrow pointing at the ground, so I just returned to the farmer and gave him money.

When I went to collect the wedding ring from a cabin in some woods I killed the witch person outside but when I searched the cabin there was no ring. I also searched around the cabin, the witch and the chest next to the door and I don't want to have to give away 2000 gold. I've tried reloading, waiting, sleeping and can't think of anything else to do.

Does anyone know how to get the ring?

texts: How to /testforblock in the overworld from the nether

Now I already know how to do the setup for the chambers for both sides, but my problem is when the chamber is closed off and the door to the portal is open from one side, the door on the other side might be closed making it impossible to get through whatever side you're trying to get to.

At first I tried experimenting with the command in the overworld like this:

/testforblock x y z minecraft:stone_button 2 {Dimension:-1}

But it didnt work out.

What I'm trying to get at is when you open the door to the portal you're also opening it from the other side as well closing the chambers and vice versa.

His auto attack range is 575, making him very dangerous.

His AP side is very powerful already, so I wonder if AD kennen be looked upon for competitive play.

Additionally, there's a circle with pointed edges. I have no idea what it signifies. It looks like a the symbol for skill points, but I can't tell what are the level's skill points. Does it count the skill points available only on that level? (like the "time trials" skill points)

texts: Solution involving order in which babas move?

texts:
I found a solution to the Further Fields level, but it only works half the time because it depends on the order in which the ("baba is move") babas act. Two babas are pushing on the same word at the same time and I need one to push it North before the other pushes it East.
It's easy enough to undo and swap the two babas if I get it wrong (it appears the order in which they act depends on the id of the baba and not on its position), but this seems somehow to violate the spirit of the game since it relies on hidden state.
Is there another intended solution that doesn't require the baba's to act in a particular order? Or is this intentional?

I just installed Fallout 4 via Steam and Fallout.exe is missing from Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout 4.

I'm able to start the game from Steam and it opens the launcher. When I click Play, though, the launcher closes for a moment before restarting. This repeats forever and is common enough to have been asked on Reddit.

I figured it was the same launcher loop problem others were having so I tried to fix it using this video. That's when I noticed Fallout4.exe was missing (but Fallout4Launcher.exe is not).

I've tried the following:

Verifying the integrity of the game cache
Reinstall Fallout 4
Running Steam as Administrator
Running Fallout4Launcher.exe as Administrator
Enroll in beta (version 1.6)

I got stuck in the launcher loop again but, when I checked the game folder, it had Fallout4.exe. I tried to run it directly and Windows said it wasn't there anymore so I refreshed the folder and it was gone.

I don't have any mods installed. I'm on 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise, SP 1.

I could only find this thread on Bethesda's forum but this shouldn't have anything to do with activating the purchase. I bought it through Steam and was never prompted for any additional verification like entering a CD key.

I have the ATLauncher, and i was looking around for shaders and found SEUS, so i directly installed it into my skyfactory 2 instance folder.

I followed all the instructions, correctly, yet still had a few problems.

Notice the lack of colours, and the cloud coming through.

I also get the error:

[shaders] Error: Invalid program gbuffers_textures_lit

I am currently running SEUS v10.1 (supposedly works for 1.7.10)

With a minecraft version 1.7.10.


texts: What player actions can be specifically tracked by command blocks?

texts:
I want to target a specific player when they do an action such as open a door, step on a pressure plate, press a button, etc.

Currently, using @p on a pressure plate directly over a command block is not good enough, as another player can actually stand closer to the command block by standing in the center of the pressure plate.

If I were to do a
/testfor ~ ~1 ~ stone_button 9
that only tracks if the button is pressed, but I then can't use @s in anothe command block to do an action on the press of the button.

So my question is, what actions can a player perform which I can then target them with using @s?

texts: Do rivers "block" adjacency of districts and wonders?

texts:
In Civilization 6, do rivers "block" adjacency of districts?  Put another way, are two tiles with a river running between them "adjacent" for the purposes of district bonuses and placement restrictions?

The immediate context is that I think I should be able to build the Great Library on a tile across a river from my campus (pictured below), but the wonder does not appear for building.  More remotely, I'd like to build a triangle or diamond of districts to maximize the adjacency bonus, and I want to know if a river running through will counteract that.

I've looked in the Civilopedia and on the various Civ6 wikis but haven't found a true definition of adjacency and particularly how rivers affect it.

texts: Is there a way to change what occurs when a specific block is broken?

texts:
I am essentially looking for a way to do three things related to when a block is broken:
a) Change a block's "loot table" (what the block drops), either single or multiple item/block drops
b) (if possible) create multiple separate loot tables for a block (essentially meaning one of these loot tables is randomly picked every time the targeted block is broken)
c) Detect when the block is broken, and then create a structure at the location where the block is broken
For an example, what I'm trying to do is basically a simplified lucky block (if you are not familiar with the term "lucky blocks" or their functionality, when a lucky block is broken, it will drop a random item (in some cases, also multiple items), but also will sometimes cause structures to be generated (these structures are generated at the point where the block is broken.)
As for "changing a block's loot table" (I'll refer to each as a point - point a, point b, etc.), I'm assuming that I will have to essentially change a loot table for a certain block (although I haven't found much information on how to do so or if block loot tables exist)
For point b, a datapack could probably get involved, but a solution that requires physical command blocks and a redstone circuit would very much work as well. (maybe some sort of repeating command block that detects when any block of a certain type - such as podzol, sponges, etc. - is broken, and then somehow randomly picks an "event" (I'm thinking a command block that takes the coords of where the block was located and then summons the items or structure in question) and then executes it.)
For point c, I honestly think the only way that would be possible would be through the usage of structure blocks and loading in the structures (I would be perfectly fine with this), although I don't know how command blocks can place and then automatically load the structures in without needing the player to manually load it in themselves.
I will take any solution, although they'll need to adhere to just three requirements:

1.14+ only (Since I'm doing this on a 1.14 world, 1.14+ would be recommended but if the formatting is the exact same in 1.13, then I can take 1.13 too. Essentially 1.14-1.16 only, but 1.13 if it functions the same in newer versions. If I'm desperate, then I will take at most 1.12-1.16)

Vanilla only/preferred (it would be best if the solution wouldn't require mods, as I would prefer not to mess around with mods on my world/in general)

Java Edition only (I have tagged the question as "java-edition", but just in case, please don't submit answers for other versions of Minecraft!)

I only need this to work in a relatively moderately-sized region (about 20 chunks or so), so any redstone contraptions or command blocks probably will be kept loaded while in the area (most/all solutions will probably work).
If only 2 or even 1 of the "points" can be done, I'll still be grateful for at least a partial solution, and anything helps.
(Note: I have tagged the question as "minecraft-redstone", "minecraft-data-packs", and "minecraft-commands", but if they are unrelated/are not part of the answer, then please remove those tags. Also, if the title is not specific enough/not good enough, then change it as well. Thank you.)


texts:
I'm trying to move the player through a tube with high speed. This works well vertically using levitation level 127 for going up, and just falling for going down. However, moving horizontally seems to be troublesome. I tried the tp command with relative coordinates:

execute as @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,distance=..10] at @s run tp ~1 ~ ~
execute as @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,distance=..10] at @s run tp @p[distance=..10] @s

(I am teleporting an armor stand relatively and then the player to the armor stand. This is so I can destroy the armor stand to stop the effect. When teleporting the player directly it becomes impossible to reach the command block)

In a repeating command block, this moves the player at 20 blocks per second. However, the movement is not smooth at all, one feels the teleportation effect constantly because there is no interpolation.
Is there a way to avoid this and have the player move smoothly horizontally?

Minecraft version is 1.15.2.


texts: Can all trophies be earned in new game +?

texts:
I've just started the story again in new game + and want to know if I can get the missed trophies. E.g currently I'm level 34,5, will I get the Trophy if I reach level 35 in the new game+?

Update

As mentioned in the comments by Jeeva and his link to this question

  You can obtain the Death Match achievement when playing the NG+ mode.

Whats absolutely correct and that would be a duplicate (See comments).

But I want to know what's about the other Trophys? The dev in the same Forum says you can obtain the play on death march trophy buit also says

  What carries over?
  Player experience (if you're below level 30 when finishing the vanilla game, you will be bumped to level 30 for the start of NG+), items (excluding: quest items, books & letters, Gwent cards, usable items, trophies), money and alchemy recipes.

So Players start at lvl 30 in NG+, will they still get the Trophy for reaching level 35?

texts: What is the advantage of matching Characters with their recommended troop type?

texts:
The tool-tip description of each type of Character gives a suggestion of what type of troops they are "best grouped with" in their retinue.

For example:

  Commander
  Excels at inspiring friendly troops, but weaker in melee. Best grouped with retinues of Melee Cavalry.

The colours of the heroes seem to match up with the recommended troop types from what I can see (Commanders are yellow, Melee Cavalry are yellow, Strategists are blue, Ranged Infantry are blue).

Is there was a specific mechanical benefit that these heroes receive by having the suggested troops in their retinue, or is it just general tactical advice?


texts: How does trading affect reputation with races?

texts:
I noticed that selling resources on race factories and buying equipment is improving reputation with this race.

How specific actions affect reputation:

buying/selling wares on trading station
buying weapons in equipment dock
selling weapons in equipment dock*
buying equipment in equipment dock*
buying ships on shipyard
selling ships on shipyard
buying/selling shares on local stock exchange

* increased reputation in my game, but not every time.

How exactly does this change reputation?
Does it depend on the quantity or price of wares?
Does every transaction count or only the first one?
How much do you need to trade to earn the best possible race reputation?

So I am playing the Game of Thrones MOD on CK2. My character married their son to the eventual Queen of the Iron Throne. My character died, and now my character is the King.

texts: Does Wide Guard protect against Dragon Darts?

texts:
I was looking to try out double battles online, and from my short experience it seems that Dragapult is a major player in most teams in Sword and Shield.
Dragapult has a unique move called Dragon Darts, which seems to work in a unique way:

  The user attacks twice using Dreepy. If there are two targets, this move hits each target once.

Serebii also states:

  In Doubles, if one of the two opponents protects or is a Fairy-type Pokemon, it hits the opponent that doesn't protect twice.

One strategy I thought about using was the move Wide Guard, it is a move that protects from area moves such as Surf, Rock Slide, or anything that hits multiple Pokemon.  The move states:

  The user and its allies are protected from wide-ranging attacks for one turn.

I was wondering, does Dragon Darts count as a "wide-ranging attack"?
Sometimes it only targets one Pokemon, another time it hits both...
Will it get blocked by Wide Guard?

I have Minecraft 1.8.9 with BuildCraft and IndustrialCraft 2-2.3.263-ex18.

I have two butboxes, one with 40000EU, and second with 0EU. I connected this butboxes with copper cuble length of 50 blocks:

As of IC2 wiki copper cuble should lost 1EU per 5 blocks, so I expect that 40000/32*22 = 27500EU will come from one batbox to another one, and
40000/32*10 = 12500EU will lost. But no energy was lost and all 40000EU moved from one batbox to another. What is wrong with my calculations?

texts: LA Noire Launcher DirectX not found problem (Windows XP)

texts:
I keep getting the "The Launcher cannot query DirectX. Please update DirectX by installing the latest redistributable"

I'm on Windows XP and this is the Steam version of the game. GPU=NVIDIA 9800 GTX+ running 285.x drivers (newest available for XP)

Problems started after the most recent patch (the patch that added directx 11 support... but I'm XP so whatevs).

Pre-Patch, I would get the problem, the launcher would crash, but then the game would start anyway, so I didn't care, but now it doesn't launch at all. I can't downgrade retroactively (as far as I know?) because it's Steam, so I don't have the original media.

I've tried reinstalling directx, uninstalling & reinstalling directx.

Launching the game directly, launching the game as admin (I'm running as admin already, but I do "Run As" and uncheck the "protect this computer box"), Launching steam as admin, validating the game cache. re-downloading and reinstalling. Nothing works. I've tried disabling my anti-virus (Avast) ("C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps" is already whitelisted). Tried downgrading my gfx drivers to 280.x version.

I have no idea how to proceed, but any tips would be great.

texts: Can't use a controller with Steam In-Home Streaming

texts:
I'm streaming from my Windows PC to my Linux laptop and trying to use a wireless PS3 controller. The controller works fine when playing games running on the laptop but doesn't get recognized when using In-Home Streaming.

The controller works with games that I've tried to stream (Tomb Raider, Mad Max, etc.) when I run them under Linux, so it's not a problem with the games not supporting it.

Is there some confusion going on between my two computers while streaming? Do I have to pair the controller to the streaming PC and not the laptop for it to be recognized as an input device? Or, maybe, it's not possible to use a PS3 controller on the laptop because the streaming PC doesn't recognize the input?

texts: Ustengrav Depths gates: can my follower follow?

texts:
This earlier question discusses how to get through the three gates in Ustengrav Depths. Unfortunately my follower can't run as fast as me and is trapped behind the gates.

According to a couple of sources, after I get through the gates they're supposed to remain open. They don't.

My plan right now is to complete the quest then cycle back through the dungeon to retrieve my follower. But am I missing a trick here to keep the gates open? Are the sources wrong? Is my game just bugged?

Edit: this after getting through the end of the dungeon and looping back around to the upper level of Ustengrav, my follower ran up to meet me, so it wasn't a big inconvenience in the end. But experimenting, researching, and fretting about it until then was definitely an inconvenience (and an annoyance). I imagine it'll annoy others, so I'd still like an answer to this question if anyone has one.


texts: How is order determined in the recommended Pokémon list when fighting at a gym?

So, how is order actually determined for the recommended Pokémon? Is it by total power (combination of stats), health, or something else?

texts:
I've read about the new Apprentice Mode/System introduced in Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition that was released on consoles this week and I have some questions.

I read that if a lower level friend joins my game he will be boosted up to an appropriate level for my game temporarily for the game session, which means he'll do more damage, be able to withstand more damage himself and he'll even get XP and loot tailored to his real level so that once he leaves my game he can continue to play with the shiny loot he got.

I have a couple of questions for this.

If we're at different points in the quest line, how will this affect each person's savegame once they leave the co-op session?
If we do it the other way around, ie. high-level character joins low-level game, will the game scale up or down?

Examples.

If I start a level 1 character and immediately joins a friend at, say, level 20, who's in the second act, and then complete a few quests in that game, and then leave, how will my own quest progress be then? Will I continue from where we left off in the co-op game, or will I start back at the beginning? If I start back at the beginning, once I get to the point we completed the quests together will those quests auto-complete (since I already did them) or will I have to do them again?

What if we do it the other way around, I start a new level 1 character and immediately my level 20 friend joins my game. Will the game session be scaled to level 1 or level 20? ie. will all the mobs, and me, be scaled up for the level 20 character, or will the mobs, and the joining player, be scaled for level 1 (meaning that the joining player will scale down)?

Had a discussion with my brother and we ended up talking about if Ike, from Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, is the patriarch of most of the other main characters in Fire Emblem.

I found a discussion on GameFAQs where the general consensus is that there's only three games that aren't really connected, Sword of Fire, Binding Blade, and Sacred Stones.

The problem is that they couldn't seem to figure out if 9/10 (Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn) come before 4's first half, or after the chain 4 starts but before 13 (Awakening).

The tooltip for disciple of the hand specialist action Whistle While You Work notes that whistle stacks "Increases the effectiveness of certain crafting actions when the stack size is a multiple of 3." I have indeed noticed that when my whistle stack is a multiple of 3, the action Careful Synthesis II produces more progress than otherwise. However the fact that Careful Synthesis II is boosted by Whistles is not noted specifically in either tooltip, and thus the nature of the bonus is not described.

Therefore I ask here: Which abilities are enhanced when the Whistle stack is a multiple of 3, and what are their enhanced effects?


texts: How can I run the minecraft client on CentOS 7?

texts:
I have CentOS 7.7 installed on my system. I've downloaded Minecraft.tar.gz from the official download site and when I try to run its minecraft-launcher binary I get the following errors:

./minecraft-launcher: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by ./minecraft-launcher)
./minecraft-launcher: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.9' not found (required by ./minecraft-launcher)
./minecraft-launcher: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by ./minecraft-launcher)

Looking at my libstdc++.so.6 I see that it only supports up to GLIBCXX_3.4.19, even though my system is up to date.

Ignoring the questionable logic of requiring a platform-specific front end to run a platform-independent game, does anyone have any ideas of how I can get this to work?

I've looked into trying to install a newer version of libstdc++ on my system but most of what I read warned me against it as the entire system is closely tied to the versions of the standard libs.

The easiest solution would be to find an older version of the launcher but my searches have come up empty.

I could probably run the java client directly but again I've been unable to find a place to download it from.

The Minecraft site does provide a download for the java server, is there a way to use that as a client?


texts: Need some settings help for doing better screenshot

I would like to make some nice screenshots in Just Cause 2 and I need to remove HUD elements like minimap and pointer and maybe, if possible, change 3rd person view to 1st person.

Any idea how can it be done?

Wouldn't be better this screenshot without those elements?


texts:
The loading screen hints nor the information by buying the item itself are pretty informative. So I just bought one hopfeully expecting some stat window or some stuff like that.

But nothing aswell.
I let him just run around a floor and pick up some stuff which worked fine but didn't feel worth paying money for it, as this is anyway what the whole game is about.

After one or 2 raider attacks in which he got damaged I haven't yet found a way he generates on.

So now I decided to sent him into the wastelands.

And here again I have just open questions.

How is he treat? What are his possibilitys in exploring? how long can i let him outside before he gets in trouble or risking loose him?

And after all: why they put in a tool and say "just pay for it" without releasing what it is able to?

summarized my question is: What are the dos and don'ts for my Mr. Handy?

So I sent him in the wastelands.

texts: Why do I now have 1 autosave in a mission instead of 3?

texts:
I am playing on Classic difficulty, and where I used to have three Autosaves for a mission, I now only have one (i.e. the same file is rewritten each turn, so I can't go back a turn). Did this setting get changed after a game update, or might this be a bug? I did some googling, but didn't find anything.

(I have read about an issue where once you reach 100 saves, your saves are listed out of order, but this isn't the case, because the one autosave is at the top.)

EDIT:
To clarify, I am not playing Ironman. The game autosaves at the beginning of each turn, and I can go back and reload that game. My problem is that there is only 1 autosave (which gets rewritten each turn), rather than the 3 autosaves that were previously being utilized (so that I could reload up to 3 turns prior).

The reason I ask is because one autosave is not that useful in a mission; the game is saved at the beginning of my turn, right after one of my guys gets killed. With 2 or 3 autosaves, I can go back to the beginning of the previous turn, and hopefully avoid the doom.

texts:
My husband has the swapforce game for the PS3 and my son and nephews have it for the wii.  My husband has areas that the wii doesn't have.

For example when you jump (forgive me, I am a MOM not a swapforce player) up the steps that look like mushrooms to the top of the tree, next to the path towards Master Eon's head.. If you get to the top of the tree, there is supposedly a 'jump pad" that sends you down to the pool and into a bonus world in woodburrow where you are up in the air collecting coins.

This area is always there on the ps3 version but it has never been there on the wii game.

We DO have the dark edition game for the wii and the regular for the ps3.  IS anyone else having this issue?  The area is absolutely supposed to be there according to the walkthough guide.  Just wondering why it isn't.

texts: How do I rotate my clickable sign in Minecraft?

texts:
I made a command which creates a clickable sign that teleports a player to spawn. Here is the command:

/setblock ~ ~1 ~ minecraft:wall_sign 0 replace {Text1:"{text:\"Start\",clickEvent:{action:run_command,value:\"/tp @p[c=1] -658 104 -690\"}}"}

When I start the command block, it places the sign backwards from the wall, meaning it is on the right block, but is not connected to the wall. How can I alter this command so the the sign is rotated to be connected to the wall?

texts: Can you kill the man in white during the Citra's Dream sequence with an RPG?

texts:
I dont know what was in that bottle Citra gave me but it must've been pretty fantastic because I found myself falling and then I was at at a poker table.  The other players disappeared and then I was standing with a man in white ahead of me. I knew...I just knew that he held the key to my destiny as a Rakyat Warriot.

I immediately turned and walked the other way.

Well, it turns out that if you walk far enough away from him, you get your guns back. I figured it's my hallucination and I should be able to murder whoever I want to, so I started shooting at the man in white. My SMG and shotgun didn't have nearly the range necessary, but it was an easy shot with a scoped sniper rifle...except that the rifle wouldn't fire when he was in the crosshairs! I could put rounds above, left, and right of him, but I couldn't shoot when shooting would result in him getting hit.

My next thought was to try splash damage from an RPG, but I didn't have one in my inventory. Since it doesn't seem likely that I'll be able to get back into the dream in this playthrough, is it possible to kill the Man in White with an RPG during the dream sequence?

I've noticed in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky that when i have the Sepith Up Turn Bonus some attacks like Estelle's Pummel S-Break will cause more Sepith Fragments to fall in an attack despite only dealing damage once as opposed to if she just did a regular attack.

I figured this is because Estelle's Pummel has more "hits" to the attack compared to Joshua's Sever. so i am wondering which attack can generate the most Sepith Fragments with Sepith UP?

texts:
I know almost nothing about raiding and pvp'ing in World of Warcraft. So I'm just wondering. Probably I should be asking this question after learning those basics, but well...

I've googled around a little and this topic doesn't come up much. I've read somewhere it couldn't kill the Lich King (an outdated topic) and elsewhere that he was in such a guild, but that's back from 2007.

What you say? Can it be done? Would it work better with Druids or Paladins?

I'm sure 5-men groups can be very successful, and maybe even 10-men. I also understand this has a high risk of getting nerfed by some patch, so this has to be a "4fun" guild per definition.

Neways, I'm wondering mostly about what has been done in that sense.

texts:
I have a huge house in Terraria with rooms instead of a big town with multiple houses.

The first floor is crafting and storage (Cole the NPC), the next floor is my room. It has my bed, a dresser, a golden chest, a red banner and a platinum chandelier and half stone walls, half wood walls.

There are three more floors that are supposed to be rooms for my NPCs. One has a bar, barstools, a cooking pot, a keg, and a table and 2 chairs(the merchant), the next one has a shade wood table, a dresser, 2 chairs and a banquet table (the nurse) and the one at the top has a bench, a dresser and a table and 2 chairs (empty).

But Hanno my dye trader stays in my room !

I don't know why it bothers me so much but is there a way for me to get her out ? (I added all the details because, is it what's in my room that makes her stay in there? Is it because my room is the biggest?)
And the creepiest part, every time I respawn in my bed, she stands right there at the end of my bed.

Please tell me there's a way to get her out of my room.

texts: Ok, so most followers in this game are able to hold a limited amount of items when you trade with them, but can hold an infinite number of items with a glitch (I'm not really sure if it is a glitch or if it was intentional).  You have to ask them to do something and then tell them to pick up an item or take all from a chest/container.  However, I can't get Serana to do it because she doesn't have the "I need you to do something." dialogue option.  Is there a way to get her to pick up items?

texts: Most Efficient Food/Speed movement in strip mines

texts:
In a strip mine (2 high, 1 wide):

The quickest method of movement is sprinting and spamming jump in the tunnel.

But what is the most efficient method as jumping and sprinting uses a LOT of hunger very quickly?

Keeping in mind that one does not have infinite food and wants to preserve it;
from my knowledge one should always jump and sprint after eating food, due to the saturation where one loses no hunger no matter what. However after this is it more efficient to just walk OR just sprint OR sprint and jump ( or some other sneaky method :P)


texts: Are Games for Windows Live games registered to a Gamertag, or a Windows Live ID?

My Xbox 360 Gamertag, cptsupermrkt, is registered with/attached to the Windows Live account, myhotmailaccount@hotmail.com.

I bought Arkham City on the PC.  To even play the game, I must register my copy of the game with a "LIVE profile."  When I sign in with my myhotmailaccount@hotmail.com, but before I submit the product key, it tells me that it will only be registered to the LIVE account "cptsupermrkt", and is non-transferable.

Is this referring to my Xbox 360 Gamertag, or some kind of completely separate Games for Windows Live thing?  Are the Xbox 360 Gamertag and Games For Windows Live Gamertag the same thing?

If I submit, and register the game to "cptsupermrkt", then choose to transfer my Xbox 360 Gamertag to another Windows Live ID, will I still be able to play Arkham City, using the same Xbox 360 Gamertag cptsupermrkt, but attached to a different Windows Live ID?

Does "non-transferable" mean that the license can't be detached from the Windows Live ID, or the Gamertag (which CAN be transferred once every 30 days to another Windows Live ID)?

I have automatic game updates enabled on Steam, but so far I haven't been able to find an easy way to see exactly what has been updated.

Is there a way to see the details of a game update on Steam, similar to how you would do it on the Apple App Store or on Google Play?


texts: How to split item stacks exactly into fractions using Buildcraft pipes?

texts:
I'm building an automated factory in tekkit that is fed by items generated through EMC from Energy Collectors. However, i need to split items up into exact amounts so i don't have any overflow problems in some of the later parts of the factory process.

After experimenting with cobblestone and diamond pipes i found out that splitting seems to be probabilistic instead of absolute, which makes sense from a programming standpoint but completely destroys my factory idea since i ended up with one of my testing chests having significantly more items than it should have.

How can i split the incoming items into equal parts or even exact fractions?
I could work with splitting it into halves and then work with a binary system but even that doesn't work precicely enough.

My current idea is to put them into an intermediate chest and have several redstone engines extract them again into different pipes, which should work as long as i keep the redstone engines at equal speed but it still looks overly complicated.


texts: I bought Magicka 2 before playing Magicka (1), and in Magicka 2 the fairy or whichever pet you choose will respawn after a certain time. I have been playing Magicka for a while now and have noticed that the fairy only seems to come back after dying and spawning at a checkpoint. Is this how the fairy works, or dies it just have a really long respawn timer?


texts: How do I keep the Prince-Electors pleased with me as HRE Emperor? (Austria)

texts:
I am planning to play Europa Universalis IV as Austria, which starts off as the HRE Emperor.

The Prince-Electors at the start of the game are Bohemia, Burgundy, Cologne, Mainz, Saxony, Trier, and The Palatinate.

Austria has five diplomacy slots available at the start of the game, and I'm thinking of allying & royal marrying Bohemia, Castille, Hungary, and Poland. That leaves one slot for a Prince-Elector (probably The Palatinate?).

Moving forward, how do I keep the Prince-Electors pleased to keep me on as Emperor?

Is it advisable early on to use more than the five "free" diplomacy slots to ally Prince-Electors, and then get the Diplomacy idea group?

Also – if a member state within the HRE is fully-annexed by a neighbour and I issue "Demand Unlawful Territory", is IA (Imperial Authority) awarded if the demand is accepted? Or do I have to release the member state through war?

texts: Can I defeat Arino in the game's credits?

texts:
I finally got around to beating "Retro game challenge", and the credit screen includes a minigame where you fly a small spaceship on the bottom screen and can shoot energy bolts at Arino, located on the top screen. Arino, in turn, pelts you with various D-pad shaped projectiles.

I thought this was just a cute addition, but after hitting Arino enough he changed color and became more agressive, which led me to believe you can actually win this minigame.

Is it possible to completely defeat him before the credits are over? If so, what are the effects of such a victory, other than feeling good about yourself?

texts: How do I setup multiple monitors in Burnout Paradise?

texts:
I have two monitors and I want to set up Burnout Paradise to use both of them.  When I specified in the game options to use two monitors, instead of spanning across both it put both displays on a single monitor.  What am I missing?

I am running the game on Windows 7 x64.

texts: How can I slow down a cart without causing it to stop?

texts:
I built a small homage to the booster while revisiting an old world, given that its place now lies in our hearts... and behind a glass case, museum style.

This is placed alongside an existing piece of railways I'm upgrading to powered rail. I'd like to slow down the cart enough to let people see this for a few moments, only to regain momentum as they reach the powered rail further ahead.

I'm having trouble doing that, however. I tried placing exactly one piece of unpowered rail, and it caused the minecart to stop to a halt immediately.

I tried putting two powered rail right before the powered off rail, but the cart still came to a complete stop.

I tried replacing the track piece altogether, and I got stuck in the hole.

I tried using a stone pressure plate, and while sometimes it works, other times it derails my minecart.

How can I safely slow down the cart without having it come to a complete stop?
