texts: Is it possible to jungle with tryndamere without smite?

texts:
I've switched to playing Tryndamere in League of Legends, but I cant seem to get my early game right. I always die 2-3 times until I get my infinity edge, but basically my early game sucks.

The question is how can I get it to work, that he just stays in the jungle until I get geared and levelled enough to be of use? Preferably without using a summoner slot / using a summoner slot that helps me in battle?

There are a few guides out there using smite with a red potion/green potion, but using smite. Is there one I can also use for ranked games?


texts: Experience gain for mastering items with gold in Infinity Blade 2

texts: Where are the Articles of Harmony and Implements of Song quest mobs?

texts:
I'm working on the Minstrel class quests, Articles of Harmony and Implements of Song.

I need a Goblin Badge of Rank, an Ashen Gorthorog Horn, a Rune of Winged Dominance, and an Emblem of Ritual.

mmodb.com says they're dropped by Akrur, Tarlug, Mormoz, and Morthrang, respectively, but I don't know where specifically those 4 mobs are located. Where are they, or where are other mobs drop the quest items?

Also, it looks like those mobs have between 30k and 38k each, so I'm guessing I'm not going to be able to solo them, despite the quests not even being marked small group. Is this assumption correct?

Does the equipment (perks) stack?

So for example is there any benefit in having Iron Nails 1, 2 and 3 all equipped at the same time, or will it just use the highest?

The fact it allows it to be done suggests yes, but it doesn't seen to say so not sure, and can't think of best way to test for myself either :(


texts: Are there any downsides to killing thieves?

texts:
Since I began working for the Thieves' Guild, I've noticed the unnamed thief NPCs that show up in towns every so often to cause a bit of mischief.

Unfortunately for them, they aren't very adept, and tend to die rather quickly to the town guards' arrows - I don't really mind this, as they often carry shiny things that aren't marked as stolen and no one minds me taking them.

If I were to hasten their demise by accidentally brutally stabbing them to death, would anyone mind? Will the Guild make any reprisals? Is it better to just wait for them to blunder into a guard?

texts: How different is Demo world from a regular world?

texts:
I downloaded the Minecraft demo and started working, after the free 100 minutes, I bought the game and keep on playing that demo world.

Now, after 10h I've found that Demo world is always the same but I don't know how different it is from a regular "new game in singleplayer" world.

Should I start a new game using a random generated world or am I going to find the same elements than in the demo world?.

I recently found redstone and some diamonds, have sheep and some crops... so if I start a new game it's going to be a pain, but it'll be worse if I wait another 10h more...


texts: I'm a little puzzled by how filters work - in Metro 2033, you had a number of filters, and when the old one ran out you had to replace it. In Metro Last Light, you have a total filter capacity expressed in minutes, and it gets incremented by some number when you pick up a filter. Are my filters magically consolidated like ammo from half-full clips I reload, so I can change a filter every minute without wasting filter capacity? What happens to my current filter when I pick up a new gas mask? When can I pick up a new gas mask? How much filter capacity does a single filter contribute (One would assume it's 5 minutes, but my filter capacity always hovers at around 30 minutes, which leads me to believe there are diminishing returns per filter as your filter capacity increases)? Should I ever find myself wanting for filter capacity, is there a way for me to make a filter last longer?


texts: PS Vita and PSN: Limit purchasing ability

texts:
I have a PS3 with a PSN account and a Playstation Plus subscription. Now I have a new PS Vita that will be used by a minor in the household.

I cannot create and use a PSN subaccount on the PS Vita because I want to have the PS Vita to benefit from the PS Plus subscription (and thus get the free IGC and discounts). In other words, I would have to use my current (master) PSN account that's tied to the PS Plus subscription on the PS Vita as well (in my research and understanding, creating a subaccount would mean that I would have to get another PS Plus subscription for the subaccount).

Questions:

Is my understanding of how PS Plus works on master and subaccounts correct? (If not, please cite authoritative sources, preferably from Sony)
Since the master account is to be used on the PS Vita for this situation, how can I ensure that the minor cannot purchase anything on the PS Vita (I would like purchases to be done by me)? Is there something in my PSN account settings that I can configure specifically for the PS Vita?
Are the parental controls on the PS Vita adequate to prevent purchases by the minor? If yes, how would I go about doing the purchases myself?


texts:
There is little that is known about this mysterious man, and the Wiki only suggests speculation based upon his weapon choice.

  It has been suggested that he is from Carim, as the Sniper Crossbow he uses originates from there, but this is only speculation.

There has been some more speculation made by others suggesting a title of Earldom, from the description of the Bite rings (Poison Bite, Curse Bite, and Bleed Rings) that he sells:

  One of the infamous bite rings commissioned by Sir Arstor of Carim.

(However, in my opinion that speculation doesn't hold much water, simply due to a similar sounding name)

Now, one suggestion I came up with is that he might be from Bloodborne, or a similar setting. Highly unlikely, I know, but there are some points to be made:

His attire - very Victorian-esque (particularly the coat and top-hat), which doesn't match anything else in the game, as well as the Guy Fawkes mask.
His Dialog - "Hm…Oh, let me guess… Snatched by a shadowy limb, and dragged off to the past? [...] Yes, of course. Exactly what happened to me. We are both strangers in this strange land. But, at least now there are two of us."

Plus the fact that the developers of the Souls series like to bring icons from previous games into their new ones - particularly the Moonlight [Great]Sword and Patches (sources needed).

Very heavy speculation ahead -
In the Art Book for the original Dark Souls , Chester can be found, but as concept art. He was later added to the game in the DLC perhaps as some form of teaser....? Here is my inpsiration for this idea

So - to the question: Where is Marvelous Chester actually from??


texts: What are the theoretical maximum frenzy/endurance/power charges one character can use?

texts:
The Path of Exile gamepedia has a page dedicated to the theoretical max Dodge Chance one can get using a variety of Unique items, skills, and ascendancies, but fails to list anything about the possible ways to obtain the max amount of frenzy charges, endurance charges, and power charges.

The only reason I ask is because I can think of 3 builds that could utilize the three, but it's hard for me to figure out how I can max out charges.  Essentially:

Scaling Raider (with any skill really) with Frenzy Charges
Scaling Discharge using either Frenzy/Power/Endurance Charges
Scaling Spell Damage via 2x Void Batteries using as many power charges possible.

What are the theoretically maximum amounts of charges I can equip for all 3 charge types?

Are there any forward/backward compatibility problems? (I see that the PS2 Slim BC is one)

For some reason, my villagers are barely my storage barn.  They are leaving their food in baskets on the road outside the barn, despite the barn being only 12% full.  Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is?


texts: Will I get a fine if I "vamp-up" in front of people I kill?

texts:
In Skyrim: Dawnguard, I recently became a vampire lord (VL). Now, I know that people remain pretty peaceful if you're a vampire (and you drink regularly). However, I've read that if you transform into a VL in front of other people, you'll get a "fine" you can't pay and everyone will try to kill you forever.

Now, suppose I'm in a bandit cave and there are, say, 5 bandits. If I transform into a VL in front of them and then kill them all, will I be attacked the next time I go to town? Similarly, if I'm in town or in a populous area and I transform in front of a lone villager or two (no guards though) and kill them, will I be attacked?

texts: Is it possible to reset the Skyrim save counter on XBox 360?

texts:
I'm a bit OCD, and was wondering if there's any way to reset the save game counter in Skyrim for 360. After each save, even overwrites, it increments the number of the save file. Having saves 130, 267, 489, and 901 is... perplexing for someone with mild OCD tendencies like me, lol. I realize this is somewhat of a "first world" gaming problem, but still.

So has anyone figured out if it's possible to reset the save game number in Skyrim?


texts:
I think WoW may only be utilizing my SLI some of the time, or else Windows is not allocating it priority. I have two GeForce GTS 250's in SLI. Some of the time, WoW runs at 60 FPS when no characters or mobs are on the screen, and then drops down to about 40 when the screen is busier. Other times, it tops out at about 45, then drops down to about 30 when the screen is busy. Sometimes, if I alt-tab out and in that seems to fix it.

I am using Windows 7 and have the latest graphics drivers installed. This problem doesn't happen in other games.


texts: Prevent spider spawning in a Mob trap (Minecraft 1.3)

texts:
I am building a new mob trap and I want to be sure no spiders will spawn in it. Now I have heard that the spawn behavior of spiders will change slightly in the 1.3 update so I want to be prepared for that.

On http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Spider I read this:

  spawn: Light level of 7 or less, 2x2x2 space on solid blocks. Top half of space may be occupied by transparent blocks (glass, etc.).

So if I understand this correctly all that has changed is that the spiders will spawn on a upside-down half slab. But they still can not spawn on a normal half slab, right?

Secondly I am questioning the spawning dimensions. The first trap I build, and I still use sometimes, I build using this tutorial:

I ended up with spawning pads looking like this:

Now I never saw spiders in my collection area, but I I look closely I can surely see some 2x2x3 area's one each spawning pad. How come spiders did not spawn there?

Question:

In my new situation I have different spawning pads. They are 11 blocks wide, and 8 blocks  deep.

I guess if I don't want any spiders, I should make the pads like this:

0 = normal block
x = half-slab

0x0x0x0x0x0
00000000000
0x0x0x0x0x0
00000000000
0x0x0x0x0x0
00000000000
0x0x0x0x0x0

texts: Set same steam launch options for all games?

texts:
I've found an incantation that gives me better FPS in all games (that I've tried so far):

mesa_glthread=true R600_DEBUG=sbcl,hyperz,llvm,sisched,forcedma %command%

What I'd like to do is set this as a launch option for every game. It's a pain setting it for each game [1], I have 45, shared across 3 family members - potentially 135 settings. If I want to change all the settings because I find a better launch option (or change my graphics card, say) then I'll need to redo them all.

So, is it possible to make Steam use the same launch options for all games in my library?

I'm on Kubuntu 17.10 using a Kaveri AMDGPU, fwiw.

[1] - find game in library, right-click, choose properties, choose "set launch options", paste in options code, OK, OK.

texts: How much background do I need for Kingdom Hearts 3?

texts:
I've played Kingdom Hearts, and the numbered sequel Kingdom Hearts 2.  I'm aware that other games in the series exist, but I haven't played them.  Now I'm trying to start Kingdom Hearts 3 and having a bit of trouble getting into it, because there seems to be a bunch of story I'm missing somewhere.  Just from the very beginning of the game:

Apparently Sora recently took some sort of important test and failed it.
There's someone important out there named Aqua who I have never heard of, that Riku and Mickey are looking for.
There's someone important named Terra who's connected to Aqua, who, despite what you might assume given the series's Final Fantasy connections, is definitely not Terra from FF6 because this one's a man!
Kairi is off with Axel (who's a good guy now and is called Lea) doing... some sort of training somewhere?

What in the world is going on here?!?  You generally sort of assume that numbered entries in a series are the core story of the series, and non-numbered entries are spinoffs that aren't particularly relevant to the main series's storyline, but it appears that this is not a safe assumption in this case!
A bit of Googling suggests there are around a dozen "spinoff" games I've never played.  Which ones of them are part of the main continuity that I need to be familiar with in order to pick up Kingdom Hearts 3 and understand what's going on?

It’s in the Cave 2 map of the quest Secret Delivery, too. I marked the spot in the map (from PSO World):

Is the switch hidden somewhere?


texts: What are the alien base building mechanics in OpenXCom

texts:
The flavor text of the "Alien Base" mission mentions that in order to build a base, aliens need to successfully complete several landings in the area. I noticed this behavior in the game: Various UFOs of different sizes simultaneously appear in the same area, and when left alone a new alien base can be found there shortly after. But when some of the UFOs are shot down, no base will be found.

Which ships exactly appear as part of a base building operation and what needs to be done to prevent the base from being built? Do I need to shoot them all down, or are only specific UFOs critical for the base building process? Do I need to shoot them down before they land or can I raid the landed UFOs? When I shoot them down, do I need to clear the crash sites?

texts: How to successfully cross a river without using money

texts:
The title sums it up. I have tried fording 4 foot deep rivers, thinking my wagon and oxen would be tall enough not to drown.

I have never forded successfully. My party members always drown or I always lose items.

Caulking seems to be more successful though. Every so often I cross the river without losing people or items.

It seems like the only way to cross a river without losing anything is to pay for a ferry or trade with an Indian to guide you, so I was wondering if there is there a way to successfully cross rivers without paying or trading?

I'm playing the 1990 version. It can be played here.


texts: Playing Mass Effect on multiple consoles

I obtained Mass Effect 3 as a free game for the compensation for the Sim City downtime, more than a year ago. I liked ME3 quite a lot, and even played it more than SC itself. Now I still play it occasionally, as it is the only online shooter I have on the PC.

About a week ago, I bought a second-hand Wii U, with ME3 as one of the games included. I didn't play it yet (Mario Kart first of course :P), but I wondered if it's possible to share my online results between the Wii U and PC. I don't care about the single player savegame, just the online rewards. Will my earnings on the Wii U be transferred (via my Origin account) and obtained on my PC?

texts: Determining Catchability of a Pokemon without wasting a Pokeball

texts:
My question is sort of related to this one, but I am more concerned about saving pokeballs.

When you encounter a pokemon, generally you can assume that the higher CP, the more difficulty you'd have in catching it. However it seems to me that you cannot tell for sure until you use a pokeball and see the green/yellow/red circle.

The problem is that you might waste a pokeball. For example, for pidgey farming, I'd prefer to only get easy to catch pidgeys. Why waste great balls or razz berries on a low CP orange catch rate pidgey right?

While trying to stay true to the spirit of free-to-play, pokeballs are a limited resource. So is there anyway to determine the catchability before using a pokeball? Or maybe there's a way to cancel a pokeball throw (while you are still holding down the pokeball)?

Note: I am not concerned about the specific pokemon catch rate, just if it is an orange~red pidgey, I don't wanna attempt to catch it.

texts:
From doing the tutorials in Pokken Tournament, overall I was pretty impressed with how well-done it was as an actual fighting game and not just shoving Pokemon somewhere they don't belong.

However, the description of skill points at levelups was a little concerning. How much do skill points actually affect your stats in battle? When you play online, are your skill upgrades taken into account? Does it actually give an advantage (however slight) to the person who has played longer and accrued more levels with their character?

I've had steam installed for a long time now and have had no problems.

I've played many other games more recently than AoEO. I always shut down steam correctly and haven't noticed anything else at all unusual.

What could be causing this?

Is there some kind of Microsoft conspiracy at play here?

However, in this discussion on the battle.net forums, people claim it only works at all if you have holy damage on your weapon.

Can someone clarify this please?


texts: Is it worth picking up blues on a farming run in Act I Inferno?

texts:
I just saw a video where a Wizard farmed yellows in Act I killing as many Elites as fast as possible. He only picked up the rare items, no blues, no gems etc. Just gold and yellows / uniques.

I usually do something similar, but I pick up blues and other goodies, like gems, as well.
Usually the blues are not that good, but I still check and vendor them.

Here is my question: Is it worth picking up blues on such runs or is counter productive as the time invested could be used to farm even more yellows?

This is all assuming you can survive in higher Acts and you just crush everything in Act I.

Is there a way to do that in Steam?

texts: How do I deal with Dark Pit players as Samus/D. Samus?

texts:
The following is an inquiry about the Samus vs D. Pit match up specifically.

The problems I face in this match up specifically are:

The speed of Pit's arrows makes them better for spamming than my rockets
Pit's side special has more range than Samus' grapple hook (z-air or grab) and dash attack which makes it hard to close the gap without getting hit
I can't use projectiles to force him to jump since Pit/D.Pit can deflect them back instead.

How can I mitigate the effectiveness of these moves specifically?


texts:
The official OXM magazine says:

  Recruit Packs will help you flesh out your arsenal, but it's probably worth saving for the better Reinforcement Packs. Rare weapons make a big difference in battle, and you'll also have a better chance of unlocking new characters like the surprisingly cute Volus Adept. Unlike in the world of football stickers, duplicate items aren't a problem - get the same gun twice, and it will merely upgrade the original weapon. If you've already unlocked the character on a card, you'll get training instead, giving that class a whopping XP bonus and unlocking new appearance options.

How do you unlock this race, or how rare is it?

I'm sure this is a super low-fi game to be asking about here, however I'm having a hard time finding info.
I've been playing Zookeeper DX on my android phone. I'm not sure if there's an ideal strategy. I don't fully understand the scoring system, and I'm figuring it out as I go, but I wonder if I could learn a lot more by asking than trial/error.

What dictates the bonus at the "Break Time"? I've gotten 10k, 30k, and 50k and I don't understand either.

Is it better to get a level complete faster, or collect more animals at the end? (E.G leave one animal uncollected, and get sets of other animals first)

Is there and end, or does it just get increasingly more complex?

Thanks

Does that reset if he promotes?

Will it have a 20% chance to backfire if he uses it now that he's a lvl 1 Warrior, or will it be a 0% chance due to him effectively being a lvl 21 unit?

That's my build, and I completely decimate rifts on t5 until I come up to a yellow elite or rift boss.  My damage is seriously lacking against single targets, what skill should I change to fix that?

Also, I don't have a mirrorball.  If I do get one, will it help a lot against single targets? I heard mirrorball magic missile(fire) destroys single targets but not too sure how true that is.

Note: I have about 120% damage to fire, so I'm not sure that a non-fire skill is worth using.

texts:
I'm starting fresh and seeing if I can complete bigger challenges earlier on to net large amounts of experience for a low-level character. Out of these challanges, the hang-time in vehicle challanges seem like they would be particularly easy to net.

Because of this, I'm curious: What's the earliest point in the game where one can net the 5 second hang-time achievement? If you don't know if your suggested location is the earliest location, that's fine; I have never gotten the 5 seconds of hangtime achievement and so would like to know where it can be gotten regardless of time spent reaching the location.

You can't use the Tanooki tail to break blocks underwater.

texts:
I am having a hard time correlating what I see in the Wiki and what I'm seeing in the game itself.

According to the wiki...

  Sometimes closets are generated
  without doors leading to them. The
  only way to get to these is for a
  corridor to be generated adjacent to
  them, or to teleport or dig in. Such
  closets always have a scroll of
  teleportation inside, and a potion of
  object detection will reveal its
  presence. Every closet has either a
  door or a scroll of teleportation.

However, I have come across many, many closets, and I have never seen anything inside them.  At one point I teleported to the vault, but that was just on a random pathway.  Am I missing something?

While hot seating a friend, I noticed that she button-spams while grappling a Survivor.  It doesn't change the Special Infected animation at all but she swears that it does more damage.  In particular she thinks the Jockey is still able to attack while riding.

So what's the real story?
Does button spamming increase the damage dealt by a special infected?
Anything official?

texts: Most convenient method to switch between PSN accounts to access PS Vita content from different Playstation Stores?

texts:
I have a Japanese PSN account, as well as a US PSN account.
On my PS3, I get the best of both world since I have access to Japanese Playstation Store as well as US Playstation Store. I can purchase and download new region specific demos and games, and use them from my both accounts.

I want to do the same on my PS Vita.
However, it seems we do not have that much freedom on PS Vita.
First of all, I cannot add a second Playstation account on PS Vita, therefore I cannot directly access a second store.
I tried to download contents on my PS3 first, and then to send it to my PS3 : I obtained an error message telling me I  could not do this because my PS3 Vita account was not the owner of that content.

I think there are two methods to get content from both Playstation Stores :
- 1 : format my PS Vita and recreate the account info (as well as network connections info, etc) for the other region every time I want to use content from a different region
- 2 : buy a new PS Vita Memory Card and save my alternate account information on this card, then save region specific content on this card. When I want to switch region, I then need to change the  small memory card (so small.. hope I won't break it.. Or lose it)
Am I correct ? Are there any restrictions or problems with these methods ?
Is there a more clever or convenient way of switching between accounts ?

Thanks for any suggestion !


texts: How should foreign consoles be powered in Britain?

texts:
I am part of a community charity, GeekZone, that collects retro consoles, including but not limited to the NES, Megadrive, Atari 2600 and N64, for example. Unfortunately, many games were not made available to us in Britain, so we need to get hold of US and Japanese units. Consequently, we also need some way to power these consoles, and the CRT TVs to display them, on the voltage and frequency that they were designed for.

As far as I can see, most of the frequency converters out there appear to be for industrial or military use. We do not need something that is bullet proof, just something that can power a TV and a games console.

Do you know of a product that can help us?

texts: How to defeat a static army with lots of cannons?

texts:
Against the computer, I am sometimes (too often for my taste) faced with armies that are mostly composed of reinforcements that never reached their target and that the computer joined together, with a lot of cannons in it. For example, 8 full cannon units, 2 line infantry units and 2-3 armed mob.

Normally this should be super easy to clean up, but in reality I take A LOT of losses every time. The AI stay on the same spot and fire at me non stop all battle long, if I try to attack with line soldiers, the cannons rip me appart. If I go with light soldier I have a very hard time against their infantry and cavalry just get ripped once they are trapped inside his infantry units.

How should I attack such a composition in order to take minimal losses?

Meanwhile, my merchant has collected the cloth and crown and given them to a third(?) Sim who now is named "Candidate".

Has my priest bugged out? Is there any way to recover this playthrough without restarting from scratch?

Can somebody explain the difference in layman's terms?


texts: What's up with the pink sausages and onions?

texts:
One of the many sprays available in-game shows a pink sausage holding a leek, and is commonly seen with his turnip-onion baby, seen here:

All of the sprays in game, for every hero either references something that can be attributed to that hero or references another part of Blizzard's story.  For example, there is a boy spray that shows a young kid with his arm in a cast out, and this references the Overwatch museum cinematic.

However, I swear I've seen this before somewhere but this pink sausage is driving me nuts.  What reference is Blizzard making with this and the onion baby?


texts: So some of the posts here show Cryder's Outpost being in Act III in the Battlefield.  I have run this like 40 times and it is the only dungeon I am missing from Act III.  Can anyone verify this?  Is it just one that does not spawn very often?

texts: Can I replace default Dual Shock 4 battery to another which has more mAh?

texts:
I decided to replace the battery in my Dual Shock 4, because the default is quite weak. After a few hours of using PS4, I get notifications on the screen that the battery is low and I have to charge it.
I read that the default battery has 1000mAh of capacity and I can swap it to another, stronger unit. I looked on the webshops for the new one, but I saw some warnings in descriptions of some batteries, that they are compatible only with DS4 Pro controllers. Is it true? What is the difference between DS4 Pro and the normal DS4. Is the battery socket different?
My controller has id CUH-ZCT2E on the sticker.


texts:
I've recently chosen to use Mod Organizer in conjunction with Skyrim Special Edition, so that I have a separate launcher for both Oldrim and SE. I'm currently loading it with mods, but I'm having some trouble loading the Character Creation Overhaul.

Here is the error message:
"Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Users(Username)\Desktop\All of the Everything\Games\Skyrim Folder\Mod Organizer\NCC\GameModes\SkyrimSE.dll' or one of its dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)

If I click through, I get another error message that reads as follows: installation failed (errorcode 5)

Can anyone tell me what's going on and how I can fix it? I'm not sure what to do, I tried searching for the answers and found a fair amount of language I don't really understand since I'm horrible with programming. I will provide a modlist on request.

EDIT: There's a second window that opens behind those that has a progress bar and a message that reads: Running external installer. Based on Nexus Mod Manager by Black Tree Gaming Ltd.

texts: Screen Tints Blue when playing Team Fortress 2 on OSX

texts:
Ever since I downloaded tf2 the screen is tinted blue whenever I launch it. I'm on a Macbook Pro 13" early 2011. The same problem has happened to a friend of mine who also has an MBP, but it doesn't happen on an iMac I have. I've narrowed it down to tf2 changing the color profile.

Its not just tf2, all the source games do it, Half Life 2, Garry's Mod, Counter Strike etc. If I go into system prefs and click on displays it fixes itself. This is really annoying to fix manually every time I launch tf2, so if anyone else has figured out how to fix this, I would appreciate them sharing the solution. Thanks.

My specs:

OSX 10.9.2
2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

texts:
I'm playing the PSP version of Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. One recent encounter with a monster KO'd one of my party members (apparently pine-cone monsters explode like bombs when reduced to 0 hp. Who knew?), and I'm at a loss as to how to get him back on his feet.

I know that you can use an item to recover from KO, and if you find and activate Orb Recharge station, that will also revive your lost party member, but if neither of those methods are available as options (for instance, if you're out of the revival item and far from a Recharge station), is there some other way to get my party back on its feet?

I've tried both Inns and Temples, and unlike other JRPGs, neither seems particularly inclined to help fix my companion.


texts: Are soldiers affected by area effects (smoke grenades, poison clouds) as they run through them?

texts:
I know that smoke grenades affect soldiers' defense when they stand in the area while being shot at by the enemy during the enemy's turn, and are affected by thin men poison clouds if they stand in the area.

However, do smoke grenades or poison clouds affect soldiers in the middle of a move or turn? e.g., if I wish to run a soldier from point A through point B and finish on point C, and I suspect that he will trigger an alien overwatch as he runs through point B, will a smoke grenade on point B protect him? If a soldier runs through a poison cloud but does not start or end the turn in the cloud, will he become poisoned?

texts: Does Recharging a portal have an internal "hidden" cooldown?

texts:
Lately I've started to do a lot of recharges on friendly portals, and I've noticed that after two or three succesful attempts, all subsequent will silently fail for a while: ADA will say "Resonator recharged" as if it went through succesfully, my XM will drop, but I'll regain them immediately after and no green "+x%" will appear on the screen. This has happened to me more than once, with portals not completely charged and with nobody else operating on it: in fact after a few minutes I've been able to completely recharge the remaining resonators.

Is there some kind of hidden internal cooldown, or am I just experiencing some weird glitch?

I have only been running in campaign.


texts: How long should I wait for my PS3 to cool before playing again?

texts: First of all, my PS3 is about 11 years old, I got it for Christmas 2009. It's fan starts whirring really loud and the PS3 makes cracking sounds after 1-3 hours of gameplay, sometimes I'm lucky and it lasts for 3 hours, other times, not so much.  When this happens, I quickly quit my games and turn off the PS3 and wait for maybe 20 minutes before playing again. Do you guys have better recommendations for how long to wait before starting to play again?

texts: Is it possible to transport multiple factories simultaneously in X: Beyond the Frontier?

texts:
In X: Beyond the Frontier (note: the original, not X-Tension) the player can hire transport ships to carry newly bought factories from the shipyard to the location of their choice.

Considering the speed - or lack thereof - of those huge transport ships, carrying a factory through more than one or two systems becomes tedious. I was wondering if there is a way to transport more than one factories at once. I thought about hiring multiple transports on my way to the shipyard, but as far as I can tell I can still only buy one single factory - I do not seem to be able to use the other transports...

texts: Which are viable tanks on League of Legends nowadays

texts:
We all know there are various tank characters on League of Legends, however as the game evolves, I see the Meta-Game being biased towards a team composition made of:

At least 1 ranged DPS
1 Ranged Magic Damage
2 Beefy champs
1 another beefy or support (Soraka, Taric, Sona etc..)

So taking that into account, and knowing the heavy CC in nowadays games, which are viable tanks to play?

I really like Alistar, however he has a very poor early game, and in order to do his pulverize he must be in the very core of the battle where usually one is taken down easily.

Nasus and Singed both excellent tanks however they don't have escape mechanisms such as Shen or the other newly added tanks, not to mention that if Nasus does not build Trinity Force or Singed at least a RoA they are ignorable chars late game.

Which tanks are viable to play in the current game and why? I think Galio, Shen and Maokai are viable options.

So I was playing survival, I was out collecting dirt to create a small flat area to try to get slimes to spawn, then when I went inside my house (Note: It hadn't gone through a night cycle yet.), there was a creeper right there and it exploded.

I am so angry it's not even funny. I was thinking since when can creepers spawn in it. I have thought a couple way but not sure is it true. Here is the possibility in my mind.

A. Broad Daylight.
B. Inside a building,
C. Especially when the building has torches everywhere? (My house is a 12 x 10 x 12 block house.)

Someone needs to give me an explanation.

Here's the 1st floor

Obviously deactivating turrets with the DLS instead of shooting them would be overpowered, and yet it's possible to target and scan them. There's no mention of using it on turrets anywhere online - or am I a bit slow, and it's just possible to scan anything you can target (with no effect)?

texts: How to do basic Civilization V operations with keyboard only in, even just moving

texts:
I play Civ V on my Mac in my rare free time but I'd like to reduce my mouse use.  I have found numerous charts with keyboard shortcuts for exotic actions, but cannot find anything on how to do many basic actions.  For example, the key for move is M.  So if I press M, I can use the arrow keys to select a potential location to move to.  But how do I get the unit to actually go there??  (I've tried Return, Enter, Space, pressing M again, pressing CTRL-M...)

Likewise, every few moves Civilizations wants me to make a decision on something, for example, a social policy or research direction.  But I can't find any way to even bring up that screen with the keyboard, much less choose an option, even though Civ has a centralized flashing message bar just begging for a keyboard-shortcut to activate.


texts: Is there a Nethack GUI client for OSX Lion?

texts:
This should not be a dupe of this question.  I am trying to get Nethack up and running on OSX Lion, and the QT client no longer works (goodbye PPC support).

I found the Nethack Cocoa project, however the tileset is both slow and not very attractive IMO (I was a fan of the smaller, quicker tileset).

My question is if there are any other non-PPC Nethack tile-based clients that work with Lion (other than the one I mentioned), and if not, any way to replace the existing tiles with the more standard Nethack tiles.

To be honest, if none exist I'll probably go back to the terminal...


texts: Why batches of same items are not next to each other?

texts:
I loot lots of alcohol, and never really paid it any attention until recently, when I wanted to earn some coins from selling part of the huge stash I collected. I was amazed to see this mess:

This was taken in a Shop while selling, but it is the same when I just open the Inventory. All the marked items are exactly the same: same name, same price.

I tried to re-order the items by type, no change  - still random mess.

I understand that each type of item got its own "batch amount", however how come the exact same items are not next to each other? Is there a way to fix this?

This still happens even after a major redesign of the Inventory that has been introduced as part of patch 1.20 released in May 2016.


texts: Why is my 3 month old dwarven baby severely cave adapted?

From the wiki article, cave adaptation is suppose to take a long time, up to two years. However, my 3 month old dwarf baby is already severely cave adapted and vomiting a ton. I also have an outdoor meeting area which I'm fairly sure he and his mother spend a lot of time in.

How is it possible that the baby (but not his mother) is severely cave adapted, despite spending lots of time outdoors?

texts: What information does Titanfall save locally?

texts:
I haven't played Titanfall in months, so I'd like to delete it and get the 56 gigs it's currently taking up on my HDD back. I'd like to keep my regen level and other things in case I want to reinstall the game sometime and pop back in for some good ol' Titan punchfests. I know that the screenshots are saved locally, so I can back those up easily, but I don't know if there's anything that else that is. Considering the game's tied to Origin and there's no offline single player campaign, I'm guessing most things are serverside/in Origin's cloud, but I'm not sure.

This is what I'm primarily concerned about:

Regen level
Titan loadouts
Burn Cards
Challenge progress
Insignias and Insignia progress

Considering the length of time it's been since I played, I may be forgetting things, so any additional information would be welcome.


texts: How do subsequent resets affect my angel investors, and my angel upgrades?

texts:
I've reset once already, and claimed 185 angels. My question is about the timing of my second reset. Will resetting erase the 185 angels I've already claimed, leaving me with only the amount shown under 'claimed with restart', or will I keep the number of angels I have, as well as claiming the new ones?

More importantly, will I lose any angels I've sacrificed for 'Angel Upgrades', and need to repurchase those already-purchased Angel Upgrades (and Managers) again? Does the end justify the means?


texts:
In the latest version of Towns (v9) a few changes seem to have been made in the way harvesting is handled.

I've tilled a nice 5x10 plot of land and assigned it to wheat farming, but so far only 14 squares of it have been planted -- and every time one of them pops wheat, a nearby townie harvests it and feeds it to a random wild animal rather than finish planting the field.

Because of this, I'm perennially short on wheat; is there any way to tell my townies to stop feeding the damn animals and plant the wheat instead?


texts: What are Enderman doing in the Overworld, and why are they not in The Nether

texts:
This is more of a story question than actual gameplay or strategy. I have been reading the wiki and some other websites but I have not found an answer to this.

From what I understand is that Minecraft consist out of 3 dimensions. There is the Overworld, the Nether, and the End.

The Overworld is home to us, and our usual mobs. We have the ability to move to other dimensions, the other mobs don't.

The Nether is home to a new set of mobs. We can go to their dimension, but they pretty much stay there.

At last there is the End, home to the Enderman. Unlike all other mobs in the they do have the ability to travel multiple dimensions. This brings me to the following questions:

Why do Enderman choose to come to the overworld and just pick up blocks?
Why are they not traveling to the Nether and pick up blocks there?

Maybe there is no better answe than:

  it's just a game and that's how it's programmed

. but maybe someone has a cool story behind this.

texts: 'Execute' not performing command preceeded by 'run' in 1.13

texts:
In 1.12, I had the command:
execute @a ~ ~ ~ teleport @s ~ ~ ~

In a 'repeat' command block. This would freeze all players until I chose to unfreeze them. In 1.13, I assumed the adjustment to this syntax would be:
execute at @a run tp @s ~ ~ ~

In a 'repeat' command block. However, this does not work. To attempt to debug, I tried:
execute at @a run give @s stone 1

Still to no avail. I also tried replacing the selector in the run part:
 execute at @a run give @p stone 1

And nothing. Could someone point me in the right direction?


texts: Is Jackass's Research even possible right now?

texts:
In NieR Automata after all the side quests start popping up, Jackass asks you to help with her research on the machines.

   The first few tasks are quite simple (kill the machines in front of her and then kill all the machines in front of her without taking damage. The last task is to kill all the machines in 30 seconds without taking damage.

I can't complete the last task right now because my weapons aren't strong enough. Will I be able to complete this quest later on if I go level up and upgrade my weapons, or will I fail it if I can't complete it now? And if I am able to leave the area to upgrade and level up, do the machines I am fighting scale with me so they will always be above my level causing the fight to take around the allotted time, or will I comeback and be able to one shot them later on?

In Legend Mode, there are Gold Skulltulas you can only get on hard. Doing a little bit of research online, they only appear when you meet certain objectives, which are different for each level. I can't find any hints about these objectives in the game, though.

Does Hyrule Warriors give any hints about where to find hard difficulty Gold Skulltulas? If so, where can I find these hints? If the game doesn't give direct hints, are there any subtle clues I should I look out for?

texts: Use Multi-Player Save in Single-Player and vice versa

texts:
I am looking for a way to use my Civilization V multiplayer save in single player. Background is that I play a lot of games with friends but they quit once it is clear who is winning. However, I would like to play it to an end. Some for achievements, some for fun. It seems that you cannot do this.

On the other side, I would love to play some round where I have a hard time with a bot with a friend or two.
Is this possible? Can you just edit a value in the save game that states what type it is? If so which value?

I cannot even see the save game from multiplayer if I start single player. If I copy it manually in the right folder it appears but the start button is disabled.

I can play the game if i start multiplayer and make my friend a ki. But I have the feeling that multiplayer and single player ki are not the same.

UPDATE: I own G&K and also BNW. Looking for a solution for the newest version.


texts: Mass Effect 2 - Fight for the Lost.. Actors?

texts:
I had access to a Mass Effect 2 DVD which has among other things a short-medium video with presenting the main characters of game name Fight for the Lost.

I was watching it, even without subtitles, and when Thane appeared I noticed him VERY different than he is in game. Not perfect as a true CG of course, more like part CG, part human cosplay.

A few minutes later appeared an actress looking very similar to Jack. The haircut, the makeup, the "charming" way of speak with all the sex appeal of her lips movements...

I tried to search more about them but I can only find rips of these scenes on Youtube, but no name, not other detail. So, are they real persons? Is there a full cast somewhere?


texts: Deerclops fighting tactics (2 players, one being newbie)

texts:
I am playing Don't Starve Together, with a friend. I'm very experienced at the game, while my friend has played about 50 hours or so.

It's our first winter, and Deerclops is spawning (we hear the sound). I've read he has double the hp he normally has, which makes me wonder if we will be able to kill him before sanity drops to 0 and Terrorbeaks destroy us. Keep in mind that my friend is not so experienced at kiting so I might have to kill Deerclops by myself.

Coordination might be a big problem. Whoever gets the last hit on Deerclops will become his new target. So, if my friend gets the last hit, and he starts running like a rabbit... I'll be chasing Deerclops who will be chasing my friend. Funny :D but deadly, since Deerclops will be dodging my hits while i might get hit by his AoE, and will lose sanity as well.

My thoughts:
I could try solo him, while my friend stands in a safe distance and keeps the fires going, or makes me a new armor or gets me some food. I have 3 Tentacle Spikes and a Walking Cane, 2 Log Suits (and unfortunately 60 hunger and 60 sanity, and 2 minutes until night starts).

In Don't Starve (alone) i can easily kill Deerclops. Here, however, under current conditions, I'm not so sure about it.

Questions:

-Would my plan work?
-What is a safer way to kill Deerclops?

texts: I can't launch recently installed games on Windows Vista?

texts:
I recently installed Anno 1503, Mafia, and Praetorians on my PC. After installing each one, not one of them will work leading me to believe these are not individual issues relating to each but one.

I have Steam installed but haven't used it for any of the aforementioned games.

Upon installing each one, I went into the properties of each and set them to run as admin but to no avail. When I try to launch, I'm asked to allow the program to run but nothing else happens... no error msg, nothing.

I have also

Restarted my PC
Tested other games. Fallout 3 and Morrowind still run. Rome Total War, which used to run fine, no longer works either
Uninstalled/Reinstalled Notepad++ as a test, and that launches fine still

Any ideas? Feel free to ask for any further info.

My PC specs:

Vista Home Premium (SP2) 64-bit
Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz
8GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT
DirectX 11


texts: How does difficulty affect the game in Cyberpunk 2077?

texts:
I'm wondering how the difficulty level affects the game?
As for my taste Cyberpunk 2077 is way too easy on hard game difficulty. I have no big problems even doing quests which are marked as "Danger: Very High".


texts:
I'm playing Clash of Clans and someone said "shopping" when asking for troops, and then posted a replay with text "nice shopping trip" where their defense wins. Another use I've seen of this term by them is "somebody take these troops before I go shopping with them".

What does "shopping" mean?


texts:
So, I just logged in, and when I joined the lobby, I received an alert with the message Congratulations, you have been awarded 4000000$. I have no idea why or how, I didn't do any specific events. The only thing which "happened" was that I have 400 hours on GTA V on steam since yesterday.

Could that be the reason? Or is there some kind of event I missed? Or could this be done by a hacker?


texts: Is there a reason for me to (not) kill everything?

texts: Out of boredom, I decided to shoot a civilian in the head, and was surprised that he actually died instead of ignoring it. Is there any reason for me to either kill them all or to refrain from doing so?


texts: I was looking at How does focus work in dragon age inquisition? but this doesn't exactly answer what I'm wondering. Right now I seem to cap out at one whole focus bar. At that point I can use my ability. I know there are more abilities via perks, but what do I need to do to be able to actually gather more focus beyond the first bar?


texts:
I just finished my first ever Arcology great works.
But it seems to need power, which makes perfectly good sence.

How does the Arcology get its power demand met?


texts: Does my wifi connection have anything to do with lag on multiplayer?

texts: I am at a campsite right now that has wifi and the connection is not very good. I was wondering if this affects the lag produced while playing multiplayer on minecraft.


texts: Why I ever should use a Kerbodyne S3-14400 Tank?

texts:
The Kerbodyne S3-14400 fuel tank's statistic is just the double in anything I'm considering so far of the Kerbodyne S3-7200 Tank. It costs twice as much money, is twice as high, contains twice as much fuel. So it seems (to me) to be the same as just connectiong 2 Kerbodyne S3-7200 Tank with each other.

The only difference I can see, is:
It is an additional node of the tech tree requiring 500 science to invest for unlocking as the highend invention of fuel tanks, while the S3-7200 Tank is an inexchangable prerequirement of it. So why I should ever spent 500 science to receive a part, I'm unavoidable allready able to exactly build my self of preavailable parts (namely: 2x Kerbodyne S3-7200 Tank)?
