texts: If someone steals my car and sells it can i call the insurance company to replace it?

texts:
Was finishing a long GTA Online session with several crew members and we all stole a car to sell to LSC before logging off.  One of the guys jumped in my personal car and drove off before i asked him not to sell it.

If he sold it, would that mean i lose the car or can i just call up the insurance company to replace it?  If not, does he get more money if i add mods to my car?

texts: When can I play the Mass Effect 3 DLCs if I've already beaten the game?

texts:
I want to get and play the Mass Effect 3 DLCs, but I've already beaten the game and don't want to do another playthrough just for the DLCs. Can I still play the DLCs?

If I recall, ME3 has a few auto-saves that it keeps, so I should have one right before the final mission(s) of the game? Could I simply use one of those for the DLCs, or are there certain points for each DLC where after that point, you can't activate them anymore?


texts:
I'm making a survival server for me and friends with some additions. In the world, you spawn on a floating island in a normal world. On the island you have to automatically get an elytra that is stuck to the chest and can't be taken off. When trying to take the elytra off, the elytra has  to disappear. Beneath the floating island will be a little island in a lake that will have a button the player will need to press to get teleported to the top of the island. When that button is pressed, the elytra should also be put onto the player.
Now to the elytras attributes.
You can only use the elytra once. Meaning that after you activate it(fly), it will disappear as soon as you land (deactivate it).
Is this possible to make?
The code I already got looks like this:
/give @p minecraft:elytra{CustomModelData:0,display:{Name:'[{"text":"OneTimeUse Elytra","italic":true,"color":"light_purple","bold":true}]',Lore:['[{"text":"This magical elytra can only be used once. After you land, it will disappear.","color":"aqua"}]']},Enchantments:[{}]} 1

I would love to know if this is possible just by using vanilla or if not what I have to do to make it possible.
I'm playing in Minecraft version 1.16.4/vanilla
Thanks!

texts: Why do some tiles have red "chips" on them in Civilization 5?

texts:
In Civilization 5 some of the hexes have a little red splotch on them, especially during the early game.

I've been going under the assumption that these signify strategic resources that I don't know how to use yet - they might be handy later once I discover Oil or whatever.

Is this remotely correct?

texts: How can I rewind into a node inside of a building in Sorcery! 2?

texts:
In Sorcery! 2, a new feature (presumably due to the size of the map) is that going inside of buildings or other areas (like sewers) will zoom in to a smaller map of the inside of the location.

Upon exiting the sewers, I decided that I wanted to try a different option for the last choice I made, but found myself unable to zoom back in to the smaller map. I can rewind to the node for entering the sewers in the first place, but can't figure out a way to only go back a node or two within the sewers. Is this possible?

Slows, dodge, and also ignite, if someone gets double ignited does it stack?


texts:
I am playing Minecraft Bedrock on my Xbox One (v1.14.1) and I am trying to develop my chicken farm. My goal is to have the chickens attracted to a section of the chicken coop without me needing to physically stand there holding seeds, as the point of this is to easily enter and exit the coop without immediately filling my inventory with eggs (I have way too many chickens, like easily 200+).

I know that chickens follow wheat seeds, but I am trying to find a way to get them to follow the seeds without me needing to intervene. So far I have tried framing the seeds, which didn't work at all, and building a glass chamber with a dropped seed in it, which worked however the dropped seeds obviously eventually despawn after a while which isn't ideal.

Any way I can do this?

texts: How can I be idolized by NCR, yet attacked by NCR troopers in NCRCF?

texts:
I was playing Fallout NV and before I ever set my foot on NCRCF soil I had neutral reputation with Powder Gangers. I helped them out and when there was an option to kill NCR troopers on my way out, I went into "hidden" and put on NCR armor. I did not kill anyone but looted the bodies. NCR took the prison on their own.

After this I went into an auxilliary building and there were 2 Powder Gangers who somehow avoided the fate of their colleagues. I killed them without trying to be stealthy. Now when I enter the administrative building, NCR troopers are attacking me on sight. This is somewhat weird since I would think that I only helped them out clearing the place.

I got some positive NCR rep afterwards and now am "idolized" by them. Still, NCR troopers at NCRCF attack on sight.

There must be something weird about Fallout NV reputation system explaining this. What is it?

texts: How can I get a list of the 21 Steam games that are not available on Windows?

texts:
(In this post I use the word "game" to mean anything in the Steam store, even it's not a game per se.)
Earlier today I was curious what percentage of Steam games are not available on Windows, so I used a blank search to find the total number of Steam games (currently 85,828) and then narrowed by OS to find the number available on Windows (currently 85,807). So approximately 0.024% of Steam games are not available on Windows.
How can I find a list of these 21 rare games?

I'm currently playing with the Adjudicator, trying to get the unlocks. The Adjudicator seems to play very differently to the other ships, and I can't get my head around the "correct" way to play.

Specifically, I end up getting stuck once more powerful shields come into play, and I can't work out if there's a better way to get the achievements such as "Get to sector 5 on starting energy", other than the "Hope-and-pray-and-run-away" tactic.

What strategies have people developed for playing with the Adjudicator?


texts:
I've noticed when watching some films that some players are able to do instant and perfect 180 degree spins. For example, I come up from behind and start shooting and they instantly spin and are aiming right at me. Is there some kind of a mouse macro that they could be using for this? Is it just a result of the theater rendering the video incorrectly (I doubt this)?

I can't even move that fast without worrying about accuracy. Maybe if I turned the mouse sensitivity to max, but then I can't imagine aiming under normal conditions.

On a similar note, I also often see players whose aim seems almost mechanical. Not that I think that they're using an aimbot (they sometimes miss), but when faced with several enemies they aim at one perfectly, shoot a few times then the aim immediately "jolts" to the next enemy. Is this just a lot of practice or are there tricks to being able to do this?

Release the women in cages, is there a quest related to them?
Is there anything else to do with the farm at the top with all the 'foremen'?

texts: What is the optimal ratio of Steamworks to Magnetos, regarding blueprint cost?

texts:
Magnetos boost productivity by 2%. Steamworks boost this 2%-bonus by 15%, or  equivalently 2% * 15% = 0.3% per Magneto. So when I have 7 Magnetos, buying 1 Steamworks gives a larger boost than another Magneto.

However, both cost rare resources, especially blueprints, which are tedious to obtain. For example, at 10 Magnetos and 11 Steamworks, the former cost 9.11 Blueprints and the latter 11.64 Blueprints. Additionally, I'm not sure if there are diminishing returns on either productivity bonus.

So, which ratio of Steamworks to Magnetos should I maintain for maximum productivity boost per blueprint spent?

texts: How does Uprising scale over the different difficulties?

texts:
Over the different difficulties, that is Normal, Hard, Expert, and Legendary, I am trying to understand how exactly Uprising scales over the 4 difficulties.  I've discerned a few things although I am a little lost over other things -- I know that the timers do not change -- hack times and defend times do not change, and neither does the final 5 minute countdown to kill all 4 Orisas.

But what I would like to know is:

How does enemy HP scale over the difficulties? It's clear they do much more damage at Legendary but I've never really grasped the scaled, is it 5 - 20 over 4 difficulties?
Are wave mechanics affected? This is pure speculation on anecdotal evidence, but I think there seem to be far more splicers on Expert and Legendary as opposed to hard and normal.  Does the same hold true for the Eviscerators and the Null Sector default robots?
Is the damage we deal to robots affected on Legendary? It really does seem like it takes far more shots to kill enemies, although as stated previously, it could be down to increased enemy HP.

Essentially, I'm looking for an understanding of how difficulty scales across Uprising and what mechanics are changed, if any, from Normal to Legendary.

texts: How to play League of Legends when Cloud Flare is blacklisting your IP?

texts:
My IP Address was incorrectly blacklisted due to strange behavior, I assume, of IP's in my "IP Neighborhood" (according to Cisco's Talos IP reputation tracker)
This means, among other things, that I must complete a captcha when I access na.leagueoflegends.com and login.riotgames.com

However, completing the CloudFlare captcha only gets me access via a browser. The game client does not present a captcha interface, nor does it respect the cookies of the browser that show I've completed said captcha.

Is there a way to play League of Legends or am I screwed?
Unfortunately my IP is static, so I can't do the usual IP renewal process, and I've already whitelisted it on Project Honeypot so I'm in a tough situation, especially because they are blacklisting an entire IP range and not my specific IP (my IP is squeaky clean)

In Wipeout HD Fury, how to get the "Stats Life" trophy?
The trophy says: "Attain and view every stat in the game". Quite cryptic for me. I then checked on trophy guide.
They say:

  After you load up Wipeout with the Fury pack, go to Options, then Extras, and then Statistics. Where ever you see a 0, you need to add something there. You’ll probably have to do a tournament with the new tracks (Talon’s Junction Forward/Reverse, The Amphiseum Forward/Reverse, Modesto Heights Forward/Reverse, and Tech De Ra Forward/Reverse ) and do a round of Zone Battle, Eliminator, and Detonator (you might have to do a round on each of the tracks dedicated to these modes as well, Pro Tozo, Mallavol, Corridon 12, and Syncopia).
  If after doing all of that the trophy doesn’t unlock, go back to the Stats page and look through every page. Either you missed one or the trophy will unlock when you’re looking at the Stats page.

Now, when I'm checking the stats page, I don't have any number at 0. Should I also have each of the bar charts above 0?


texts: Getting Started - No Jobs, No Community Lots, No Rabbit Holes

texts:
I just downloaded the Sims 3 from Steam (yes, i know I'm late to the party). The first thing I did was get rid of all the crap that comes with a new neighborhood, leaving nothing but empty lots.

The computers and newspapers are not offering me any jobs at all, and there aren't any "rabbit holes" (which I learned about trying to research the problem) that I'm able to plop down into empty lots.

How do I get my Sims employed? What the hell am I missing? The only community lot is a park, and then a bunch of houses I can place into residential lots.

As an example, I learned that you can go to the "Office Building" rabbit hole to get some jobs, but there aren't any. I see no way of designating lots as office buildings, nor placing any of them.

I really have tried to look this up, but I've come up with nothing. I'm prepared to eat humble pie here; I would just like to play the game.

I only have the base, no expansions.

Is it really possible to bulldoze buildings that break the game and then not replace them?

I was on my second Character, and had him at OP8 very early into the first play through. I then completed True Vault Hunter Mode on OP8, I then went to play Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode on OP8 and I was back at LVL72 and could no longer play with my OP8 weapons.

So does anyone know why this is happening? Is it a bug? Or is there something I should not have done?

What is OP (in case you are confused)? OP8 is a short term for 'Over Powered LVL8' it is part of the new DLC, in which you receive LVL80 gear for your LVL72 character. More information HERE.

On Route 8, a Wimpod was there on regular playthrough. I encountered it, lowered it below 50% HP (trying to catch it) and he ran away.

I wasn't able to re-spawn straight after, so I just kept going on my journey.

Now that I'm done with the main story line (a week or so later), I came back there, expecting to see another Wimpod. To my great disappointment, nothing was there to be seen.

My question is: Does it re-spawn at any point or day? Or will I have to trade to get it?


texts: How long does the teleporter particle effect last?

texts:
I love teleporters.  They're convenient on nearly every map, whether you're attacking or defending.  And secret teleporters are the best, because as long as they're secret, they're safe.

But, a tell-tale sign that there is a teleporter somewhere nearby is the lingering particle effect that clings to a class aftere emerging from a teleporter, and the last thing I want to do to my good ol' Engineering buddy is to reveal the location of his hidden (rebel) base.

So to sum up, how long after exiting a teleporter is the particle effect on a character model visible to enemies?


texts: Where is the best place to farm each of the rarer materials?

texts:
Redead bandages have become a real roadblock for me unlocking badges for a few characters. I'd just ask about those, but I know that once I find all of the redead bandages I need, it'll just be another item. I'm not sure how many items there are, but hopefully the list isn't too long. There seem to be three tiers of items (bronze, silver, and gold?); I'm drowning in bronze ones, but I'm particularly interested in the silver and gold ones.

What are good places to farm for each of the non-super-common crafting items?

I just bought these brand new turtle beaches and I want to play xbox with them. I have the audio jacks (greed / pink into red / white jack extender) but I have an HD LED TV with Digital Surround Sound. I'm pretty sure it gets it's sound from fiber wire into the main speakers so I'm unsure what to do with the red / white audio jacks. We have no other audio jacks plugged in and the TV still plays audio (so it must be from this clear wire).

First I thought I could just plug in my audio cables from my headphones into the respected jacks of the TV - then change my system preferences to Digital Stereo but still nothing has happened. Any suggestions would be helpful!!

In "Preferences -> Voice ->" I have it set up to play both game audio and voice audio through headset.

Additional Info

My Xbox hooks up to my TV via a single HDMI cable.
Turtle Beach Model is X12
I hook my Turtle Beaches to my Xbox via USB.
The Turtle Beaches have additional cords (green / pink to an extender red / white)

I bought Warhammer 40,000: Carnage for iOS some days ago.
The game itself is awesome, but I just can't find a way to save the progresses of my character.

Any time I close the application, all my progress is erased, and I'm forced to play all over again, right from the introduction.

Since the game has an RPG-like system, I assume there MUST be a way to save one's progress, but I just can't seem to find out how!

Can anyone help?

As part of Veteran Rewards, I received the Fantasia Potion a while back.It says that if I drink it I'll be able to edit my appearance (and, apparently, gender) the next time I log on.

I'd like to use it, as I originally made my main character back during beta and didn't make the decisions that looking back I feel I would have if I'd known a bit better, but as it's a one-shot item I'd like to know a little more about the limitations before I use it and wind up compounding one set of poor decisions with another.

The potion mentions appearance and gender. Does this also include any of: race, birthdate, voice, victory pose?
Are there any ways to obtain more of these potions in case I wind up regretting my decision?

I'm getting an error that is making my game unplayable.

Error in class 'SourceLWJGL OpenAL
Channel null in method 'stop'

Some google searches show this is a error involving IC2 machine sounds, but I cannot find anything in the .cfg file to disable these sounds. How can I disable the machine sounds from IC2?
My IC2 version is industrialcraft-2_1.116.364-lf, it is the most updated version of IC2 I'm aware of that I can use in my modpack (minecraft version 1.5.2), which is primarily Unhinged (some other mods added)
Edit: I have since updated LWJGL incase that was the issue, it is not. The only way to 'fix' this I can find is to disable the sounds, and I cannot find how to do that.
Edit2: I found a post on a forum that mentions disabling the sounds in the 'Advanced Machines' .cfg file.  It says to do it by putting a # in front of several lines in the config to 'comment the lines out'. I understand this method, it's simple enough and isn't the first time I've had to do something like this.
What I do is take the server offline, edit the config, and start the server back up.  The issue now is that when I start the server back up, the config file reverts back to its original state. I have never had a config file behave this way and am completely stumped on how to prevent this from happening. I'm fairly sure that if I can get the config file to keep its edits, then the problem will be fixed. Any ideas?
Edit3: I've figured out I was going about disabling the Advanced Machine sounds incorrectly, I have properly disabled them now, however the bug persists.
Edit4: Some forum posts stated that lowering graphics to 'fast' from fancy or disabling sound from minecraft in its options works. Neither of these solutions work for me. I have also attempted disabling all sound from Gravisuite and that didn't work either. It is probably worth mentioning that I've been playing without changing anything in my files\settings for weeks without issue, and this has suddenly cropped up out of nowhere.

I checked the help stuff in the menu, but it won't let me hover over the torch timer or tell me how to do it.  My retail copy didn't come with a manual either (I don't know if anyone's did).  And if it was explained during the tutorial, I died jumping down off the ledge near the one of the first pyres you come across.

# Setting it to 0 prevents the spread of Taint biomes.
I:biome_taint_spread=0

So...it seems like it's not spreading?  Now, either I'm going crazy or there's something else causing it to spread.  Could Tainticles and the like (tainted spiders, creepers, etc) cause it to be spreading?

In what ways can the taint spread?

I am looking at the screen for the first Sacred Time in Dragon Pass of my freshly generated "King Heort exhorted us to get along with our neighbours" Elmali-Jested's-Wake-Lhankor-build peace clan.  Our god talkers augured that for year 1330:

  the signs for calving looked bad

I expected the consensus to be something about sacrificing to the gods.  My ring warrior Orlanthi could not have expressed the thought better when he said:

  We must put magic into mysteries so we can learn the proper rituals for aiding cattle fertility

But the Uraldan ring magician disagrees.  She says of our seven points:

  Don't allocate anything, our stockpiled clan magic is inadequate.

Is she crazy or inspired?  I'm not going to allocate any magic until I've decided which, but I don't see how failing to allocate at least two points among mysteries, war and diplomacy can be anything but foolish.


texts: When a rune or item says +x magic penetration, how is that calculated?

texts:
This is something that has been bothering me for a while now.  Insight runes and Sorcerer's Shoes provide magic penetration. Is this a flat-rate penetration? Or is it a percentage?

For example:

9 Greater Marks of Insight provide +8.55 magic penetration. If I'm Shen, my level 2 Vorpal Blade does 95(+0.2AP). For simplicity, say I have 0AP. If I'm facing a level 3 Akali who has 54.36 magic resist (35% reduced damage), when I use Vorpal Blade on her, does it do damage based on:

Her magic resist minus my magic penetration: (45.81 magic resist = 31% reduced damage = 65.55 damage)
Her magic resist minus a percentage of my Vorpal damage: (54.36 magic resist - (8.55% * 95) = 46.23 magic resist = 32% reduced damage = 64.6 damage)
Her magic resist minus a percentage of her magic resist: (54.36 * 91.45% = 49.71 magic resist = 33% reduced damage = 63.65 damage)

The reason this confuses me is that the Void Staff provides 40% magic penetration.  The Archaic Knowledge mastery reads "penetrates 15% of the target's magic resistance". There doesn't seem to be any standardized wording.

In the quest Wont Get Fooled Again, you are tasked with solving a murder most foul.  I immediately noticed the quadruplets had different weapons and knew their equipment was going to be the key to identifying the killer.  The clues pertaining to their equipment were:

One of the Gutter boys ran into Moxxi's looking for a safe haven.  He had a shield.

Since only one of the gutter boys had a shield, the choice seemed obvious.  When I accused him, One of the other suspects yelled "WRONG" and ran away.  I completed the quest and got the reward.

texts: Early in this one game i had 5 military units and 3 workers. My unit maintenance was 11g per turn. So i thought 1g per military and 2g per civilian unit. Then i saw this bit about supply in the military overview. What does that mean and how does it affect unit maintenance?


texts: Are there any mods that unlock higher level equipment or skill trees?

texts: In the origin Dawn Of War 2, the level cap is only 20, and the skill tree for each character is much less than Chaos Rising. The only better part was that you can play missions infinite times, something you couldn't do in Chaos Rising. So my question is, are there any mods for the Dawn of War 2 campaign that can unlock higher level equipment or skill trees?


texts: Do I have to get "Frozen Asset" before the end of the game?

texts:
Looking over the description for the Frozen Asset trophy I see there should be 4 side missions. On my Good playthrough I helped the Ice Soldier and...none of the other missions showed up.

I haven't completed the rest of the non-Ice Soldier side missions, but I've completed the game and am on Chapter 40: Aftermath. I've never done an evil side mission in this playthrough, yet I don't see any of the other three Blue side missions for this quest and I haven't gotten the trophy.

Do I have to get this achievement before the end of the game or are there some other conditions at work?

texts: How do you zoom out when watching a replay?

texts:
Can you zoom out while watching a replay?

I know my question has been asked for playing the game and I understand that you can't. In another answer to that question it's claimed that:

  ...but you can unlock the camera while viewing replays.

However, linked article is from 2012, and involves a lot of console commands, whereas you often see casters zoom out on a whim. I think I started seeing that in 2013 or later, so it feels like a proper feature had been introduced to do so. A Steam Forum thread suggests the same (emphasis mine):

  Question:
  i was watching Ti4 playoffs and dota 2 casters zoomed out game from very high point of view how can i do that ingame ? i want to zoomout far

  Reply:
  Sure you can, you just need to spectate (or watch replays) in free camera mode and use the mousewheel to zoom in and out. I often do that when a teamfight is about to break out, I switch to free camera mode and zoom out a little...

However, I've tried this while watching one of my own replays, and it doesn't seem to work. What am I missing here?

Things I've tried:

Changing the camera mode to all different options;
Going through all of the Spectator key bindings;
Meticulously go through all replay UI components to find an option for this;
Double checking my scroll wheel is still working :D
Searching with Google (last year's results) as well as Arqade;

No dice.

What are the current instructions for zooming out while watching a replay?


texts: What to do when employees max out on experience and no longer gain any?

texts:
I can't seem to find any reference to this behavior anywhere, so I'm not even sure if it might be a bug. Either way, I have an employee who hasn't gained any experience for the past 4 or 5 games I've made, and is just sitting halfway into level 3.

I've tried training him in various things to see if I can get him unstuck, but to no avail. Do I need to fire him and rehire someone better? If this is the case and it's not a bug, how do I know what level I can expect other employees to cap out at?

Thanks!


texts: I cannot invite friends to my Minecraft realm that are using an iPad

texts:
I have purchased Minecraft Java Edition for my Dell PC.  I also purchased a monthly renewable subscription to Minecraft Realms for up to 10 players. Lastly, I setup a Microsoft XBox Live account which I understood is necessary to invite other players using other platforms/devices. My grandson has Minecraft on his iPAD.

We have a Microsoft family account and my grandson, daughter, and me are all on it. My grandson is only seven, but we set his security to allow him to communicate with friends, and accept gaming requests from friends. When we are both logged into XBox Live, we can now see each other as friends/followers.

When I go into my Realm and try to send an invite to my grandson, I get a message that says it cannot send an invite to the person that I typed in.  I am typing in his gametag. What am I doing incorrectly? Why can't I invite him into my realm so that we can play Minecraft together. It is supposed to be our grandpa/grandson bonding activity.


texts:
As you know, pyros have the ability to airblast, or push things away with a jet of compressed air for 20 ammo. You might not know that sometimes you can apparently use a jet of compressed air to suck fleeing spies into the Pyro.

What's going on? Is airblast behaviour wonky if a player is too close to the pyro? Is the pyro just airblasting me obliquely into a wall and somehow the game won't push me back if that happens? Is it just netcode wonkyness? How do I get out of this situation?

texts: Is there an easy way to reproduce pre-1.8 Adventure gamemode block handling rules in 1.8?

texts: In Minecraft 1.8, the Adventure gamemode is much more configurable than it has been in previous versions. However, by default, players cannot break or place blocks at all. In previous versions, players could break blocks given the proper tool (e.g., a player could break stone if they had a pickaxe), and place blocks freely. Is there a way to reproduce this old behavior in Minecraft 1.8?


texts: How can I bypass the "too expensive" cap for the anvil in Minecraft?

texts:
So I did a bit of googling and came across this forum. It states that anvils are "capped" at level 40, i.e., anything that costs more than 40 levels to enchant, rename, or repair, is "too expensive".

However, it also states that a workaround is to rename it first. This (by what I understand) should "reset" the cost, to some degree.

Is this the case? How can I circumvent/bypass the "too expensive" cap on the anvil in vanilla Minecraft?

Am I doing it wrong? Am I meant to feed them other things? Or is the RNG just not on my side?

texts: Does the player level affect anything in Family Guy: Quest for Stuff?

texts:
In Family Guy: Quest for Stuff, you have an overall player level that you earn experience for. I'm puzzled as to what effect it has on the game.

Is it related to which character quests open up, or which items are available to purchase (as in Tapped Out, which the game obviously draws influence from), or is it just a vanity stat to show how long you've been playing?


texts: I'm stuck catching my first Pokémon over and over

texts:
I started playing Pokémon go yesterday and tried to capture my first Pokémon.

When throwing my Pokéball on it a screen comes where nothing is happening except I see a motionless Pokéball lying on the ground.

I can't interact with anything, and the only way to get out of it is closing the app. After opening it again it once again starts from the beginning where the professor tells me there are Pokémon nearby.

I tried this now multiple times on my way to work but nothing is changing.
What causes this and is there a fix or workaround to it?

I read a comment in chat where "poison" was healing him, so I was curious about this.

texts: Will deleting my Steam account also revoke gifts I've sent?

texts:
I have two Steam accounts one of which is a very old one that I don't use anymore and I'd like to delete. Over the years I've gifted some games using this account. If I delete it, do the gifts I've sent get revoked?
Steam FAQ page says:

Account deletion is permanent. If you delete your Steam account: game
licenses, community profile, gifts, inventory items, wallet funds, and
other associated information will be deleted permanently and will not
be recoverable.

But I'm not sure if that refers to gifts I've received (which will be deleted of course) or gifts I've sent too.

texts: Minecraft Command Blocks: /testfor command for wearing a player head, then tp

texts:
I'm currently making a custom map in Minecraft, and I'm a bit new to command blocks. I'm trying to have the player put on a player head named "Training Helmet" and then as soon as they put it on they are teleported to a certain coordinate. This is what I have been tying, but it's not working for me (obviously).

In the first command block (repeating, unconditional, activated with a lever):

/testfor @p {Inventory:[Slot:103b,id:"minecraft:skull"{SkullOwner: dannymastr9000},tag:{display:{Name:"Training Helmet"}}}]}

In the second command block (repeating, conditional, always active):

/tp @p -160 102 60

Any Idea on how to fix it? Thanks!


texts:
In the mobile game Vertigo Racing I've noticed that challenges will periodically pop up when trying to complete cups such as "Drift for X seconds."  I'm confused on how to properly drift.  Breaking normally does not trigger a drift.  I've noticed that breaking into corners does allow my car to drift, but it usually does not last more than a a tenth of a second or so.  While this works, if the challenge is "Drift for 60 seconds" this will take quite a few races in order to complete.

Is there a trick to execute longer drifts around corners?

texts: Does the Goblin Mech always spawn in the west?

texts:
I've only played the Throne Room level once, and he spawned in the west. My friend says he spawned in the west for him as well. Two trials is hardly enough to go by, however. If I want to play the level again and set up extra defenses facing west and he comes from the east, I'm going to be in a bad spot.

I ask because the same thing happened to me with the ogre in Foundries and Forges. He always moved and attacked the crystal from the east until I set up all my defenses once facing east, and then he moved to the south entrance instead.

Ok so I have this command here:

/summon Item ~ ~1 ~ {Item:{id:spawn_egg,Damage:65,Count:32,tag:{display:{Name:"Destruction Pellet",Lore:["Place this item in a dispenser and power","to destroy the block infront"]}}}}

What it does is summon 32 bat Spawneggs with the name Destruction Pellet. This command works a treat in any 1.8 version (specifically 1.8.0, since that what I use), but when I upgrade to a Minecraft 1.9 snapshot (15w51b) this command now only summons empty spawneggs, as if the Damage isn't even there.

So I was wondering if the format/order of Data Tags has changed in the most recent snapshot, or weather this is a bug and it needs to be sumbitted to the Minecraft Bug Tracker.


texts: Alien Swarm: how should we go about Oustanding Execution?

texts:
I've got most Alien Swarm achievements under my belt. In fact I'm missing:

SynTek residential speed run (time limit on a map)
Nuke from orbit (kill 100,000 swarm)
Outstanding execution (complete the entire campaign without anyone dying)

Nuke from orbit is basically easy (dunno if I'll even try though), and I'm sure the speed run can be done with some practice. I'm sure Outstanding execution would eventually come by just grinding, but seriously, that's a lot of work. But it's the achievement that I want most (after Hardcore, which I already got).

I think the main problem is stupid deaths. The friends that I'm playing with can handle themselves, same as I. We usually play hardcore friendly fire so we've learned not to kill each other (except the occasional panic), and we rarely play below hard onslaught at all. So the basic potential should exist, but I just don't think we'll manage a full campaign even on normal difficulty by playing the usual way. Yes, we've briefly tried on a couple of occasions.

What advice would you give?

texts: Can't rearrange vault because of Living Quarters/dweller limit

texts:
So first of all, I know one obvious solution to this problem is to allow enough dwellers to die so that I can destroy a living quarters, but since they're almost all maxxed out I'd rather not do that if I don't have to...

Basically I'm maxxed at 200 dwellers, and because of the tutorial, I had a living quarters room just to the right of my vault entrance. I wanted to stage this with 6 more "vault guards" to help kill off the deathclaws when they arrive. The problem is, unless I take the time to ensure either an all male or all female living quarters, they will get busy and make my female dwellers pregnant, limiting their ability to go out and scavenge. (I do this on a kind of a rotation.)

Basically I want to switch the living quarters I have there with a storage room, but I can't destroy the living quarters because I need it to support the 200 dwellers, and I can't add another living quarters elsewhere because I'm at the limit. Is there any solution that doesn't involve killing off a few dwellers? I'll do it if I have to, but I'd rather not if possible.

Sadly I also can't destroy just 1/3 of the living quarters at a time, meaning I'd only have to kill off 2 dwellers, but unlike building, destroying does the entire room, not just 1/3rd of it like when you build.


texts: Is it better to sell or scrap your items?

texts:
Assuming:

Your Scrapper perk is maxed.

Cap Collector perk is maxed.

You are not breaking down anything that has a rare component or is hard to come by.

You do NOT have a depletion of money or components.

As a general rule of thumb, is it better to sell or scrap your items?


texts: How to prevent marksdwarfes from suicides?

texts:
My current fort has line of fortifications and line of floor built of top of the wall. Floor built on top of constructed fortifications.
Markdswarfs are stationed behind fortifications on floor inside and should shoot siegers outside.

  z-1       z      z+1
,,W,,,   ·fF···   ··f···
,,W,g,   ·fF···   ··f···
,,W,,,   ·fF···   ··f···

, - ground
W - wall
g - sieger
f - floor
F - fortification
· - empty space

However several times I found one of my dwarfs outside. I suspect, that he somehow got through fortifications.

There is reported bug: 0008160: Creatures can jump through fortifications

Is there way to prevent my marksdwarfs from passing through fortifications?


texts: Overwriting a key binding profile with WoW add-on Binder

texts:
I am using Binder which is available here:

http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/binder/

My problem is, sometimes I update key bindings. I cannot seem to find a way to update a profile to use my new keybinding. If I hit apply on an existing key binding profile, it doesn't save/update, it merely loads the profile in the state it was created in.

Is there a solution to updating an existing profile if I add new key binds using Binder? If there isn't, is there a better add-on for managing different keybindings? I like to switch binds depending on what spec I am playing for my character. Usually there is a PvP spec and a PvE spec.


texts: Best way to Micro/split push with Phantom Lancer

texts:
So, if you're playing with a bunch of minions (Don't know what the term is) [i.e. treants, spiderlings, phantoms] in DOTA 2 and you have 4-5 you want to push up one lane while you go somewhere else, what's the best way?  i.e. what if you want your guys to attack creeps on their way to a tower, right-clicking the tower they'll run past without stopping right?

I want specific mouse/keyboard clicks and such.  Any other tips on microing short-lived units is also useful.

texts:
Sometime in BF4 people will punch me and knife me giving me no opportunity to counter knife, even if the F key is prompting to press. How do I do this when I knife people so that they cannot counter?

For reference - Here's a Video of what I mean. When you're actually in the game though, you can mash F to counter but it has no effect.

texts: How does move-staling work with bury-throws?

texts:
As in past games, Smash Ultimate stales your moves the more you use them. This also applies to most throws. The more a certain throw is used, the shorter the distance the opponent will be thrown.

However, Smash Ultimate has introduced a new type of throw: a bury-throw. This will cause the opponent to become buried when thrown. For example, King K. Rool and R.O.B.'s down throws will do this:

Since there's no actual trajectory to shorten when thrown, how does move-staling work with bury-throws? Does the bury time lessen as the throw stales? Or does staling not affect the throw at all?


texts:
It's the holidays and I'm feeling a bit nostalgic so I've decided to break out my old copy of Stars!.

Unfortunately I can't get it running on Windows 7. The troubleshooter suggests running in XP SP2 mode but when I try to test the game, the mouse spins for a couple seconds and nothing happens. I've tried 98/ME as well as 95 compatibility mode both with the same results.

Can anyone help me get this running?

FYI, I did get this running last year on my Linux box (+1 for Wine) so I know that the zipped up files are still okay. Worst case is I'll just have to use something other than Windowz 7.

When broadcasting with Twitch on Xbox One and unsnap the twitch app, I have a bar near the bottom center of the screen that says something like "Broadcasting, 4 viewers".

Can I remove this bar? I can't find any settings related to it so I suspect it can't be done, but I thought I'd ask just the same.


texts: How to reduce sea attrition in Europa Universalis 4

texts:
I have been playing this game of EU4 as Scotland for a long time now and have lost many ships to attrition, until I figured out what it was. Earlier in the game I had trained up a massive army to attack England but I didn't want to die so I just invaded some nearby regions, which turned out to be very easy. But now I have an army with nothing to do with which I would hate to dissolve. So I though I would attack the USA (whom I created), when I have a navy that can carry my army, but I cannot because of naval attrition. When transporting my army over the atlantic they will all surely die of attrition.

So my question is, is there any way of reducing naval attrition enough to transport 30 or more ships across the atlantic without too many losses?
[PS: Don't try and give me advice on how to play the game, unless that advice is about attrition, I do not care how bad my nation might look.]


texts:
I've seen that mobs can be trapped within glass pane fairly easily, and would love to make a nice green house with a glass roof to let sunlight in during the day.  But I can't seem to cajole my glass pane to take any shape other than the T-intersection shape that allows me and mobs to walk in through the roof.

Am I stuck using glass blocks, or is there a way to create the glass roof I desire?


texts: Is there any meaningful way to affect the Cerberus agent chase scene?

texts: From this answer I understand that you can't actually catch her. However, at the end of the chase I think I was awarded experience. Is there anything you can do during the chase scene to increase the experience gained by this encounter and can your actions at any point during this encounter change the way the cut scene unfolds? Also, what happens if the Cerberus agent gets too close (out of instinct I just shot her until she wasn't coming for me)?


texts: Powering Electrical Engine with Tin Cable

texts:
According to the Feed the Beast Wiki article, Electrical Engines take 6 EU/t and output 2 MJ/t.  Since I'm powering a forestry machine outside of my main power station, I wanted to use efficient cabling to transfer power to the engines.  So I thought I'd use Tin Cable because it's much cheaper than Glass Fibre Cable.  However, Tin Cable can only withstand 5 EU/t; no problem, just upgrade my Electrical Engines with a Small Curcuit Board containing an Iron Electron Tube, which reduces the power required by 1 EU/t.

So I built two Electric Engines, and gave them both a Small Curcuit Board upgrade with Iron Electron Tube.  I connected them to a Logger and Arboretum, and then wired up some Tin Cable from an LV transformer pulling off of my main power storage.  As soon as I placed the last cable, the whole cable exploded and disappeared!  Isn't the EU/t based on what is being requested on the far end, which should be 5 EU/t?  Why can't I use Tin Cable in this situation?


texts: Can I have a Kantonian and Alolan form of the same pokemon in a team?

texts:
For example's sake, I have a Kanto Ninetales for special sweeping with a Sunny Day/Flamethrower combo and an Alolan Ninetales for laying down Aurora Veil with Snow Warning to set up for a buff sweeper.

I know most competitions have a rule against having multiple pokemon of the same species in a team.

Would using two Kantonian and Alolan form of a pokemon (like my two Ninetales) break this rule because their technically the same species or do they count as separate pokemon?

texts:
I'm currently using an upgraded mini-gun for my ranger. Since I upgraded the gun, I've not had any green thumb items drop.

Is it because the item drops are compared against the upgraded stats or do they compare them at level 1?

So, basically, if something that could be potentially better when upgraded drops does it show up as green?


texts: In Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos, is there a secret way to cross Lake Dread early?

texts:
In Act I of Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos, the player must reach Opinwood by crossing Lake Dread in a rowboat.

Normally, this crossing occurs only after the player has exited Draracle's Caves to discover that Gladstone Keep has fallen.

However: At the time I first played this game (nearly 20 years ago!), I recall that my cousin, who also had a copy of the game, said (paraphrasing; we were 10 years old):

"In Gladstone Keep, I visited Nathaniel the Herbalist:"

"There was a boat visible through that open window. I clicked the boat, and traveled straight to Opinwood [skipping most of Act I]."

Is this true? Or was it my cousin's fabrication?

(On one hand, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a fib. On the other hand, that big bright window and ladder seem curiously "inviting".)
