texts: Does Xbox 360 USB controller work out-of-the-box on Windows/Linux/Mac?

texts:
I'm planning buying a wired USB Xbox 360 controller, but I would like to know a bit more about it before actually buying.

Most (all?) USB controllers identify themselves as USB HID (Human Interface Device), which allows them to be auto-configured and work right away, without installing any drivers. It also has the advantage that USB HID devices will (or should) work on any operating system.

But how about the Xbox 360 controller?

Does it identify itself as USB HID?
Does it work on Windows without the need of special drivers? (or did Microsoft "cheat" a little by shipping the driver together with Windows?)
Does it work out-of-the-box on Linux and Mac OS X?

EDIT: Okay, I've bought the controller. Some additional info:

The controller uses a vendor-specific (0xff) device-class, which means it requires drivers in order to work.
It works out-of-the-box on Windows 7 and Linux. It requires drivers on Mac OS X and Windows XP. See the answer below for more information.


texts: What do I do with the stuff Froggy finds for me?

texts:
I can send Froggy out on adventure to find things (planks, raindrops, hammers, etc) but I am not entirely sure what that does for me. I don't see an inventory anywhere with the items, and so far I've not been able to sell them. It doesn't appear that they're used to build new buildings, either, so far.

I'm only level 5, so maybe I've just not unlocked this stuff yet, but what can I do with these things Froggy finds?


texts: How can I stop Minecraft from crashing/lagging?

texts:
I recently purchased this game and am very impressed, but am about to put playing it on hold until it is officially released and more bugs are fixed.

I can't play the game for more than 5 minutes without the framerate going from smooth as can be to randomly dropping to unplayable levels.  I have gotten a black screen more than 30 times so far.  Sometimes when I save and load my character appears inside a block and soon after dies.

Is there anything I can do to improve the experience until these problems are fixed?  I hope so as I love this game apart from the bugs!  I cannot be the only person out of the millions of people who have this game who want to play it but cannot due to lag and crashes.

my specs are

Windows 7 64-bit
4 GB RAM
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M 256 MB

EDIT: I have tried setting the graphics down lower and the draw distance to shorter, and it helps a bit, but I still have lots of problems with lag and crashing.

texts:
I've been playing on the PPCG Minecraft server for a little while, and I've managed to build a fairly decent tower, but someone has decided to do this, right next to the top:

While I could build out and get it, I don't have a silk touch pickaxe, which means I'd have to make more glass, and I'd lose some resources due to the height as well.

Is there any way that I can destroy this block from afar? Do note, I don't have command privileges.


texts:
I have set up three combustion engines to a quarry, all three of them are cooled by one pipe coming from two pumps.

P - Pump
Q - Quarry
E - Engine

P+ +--E
 +-+-EQ
P+ +--E

Sometimes the engines overheat. Should I set up one pump for each engine? This sounds like a bit overhead to me.

Additional question: Where can I find detailed information on how to power machines optimally (eg how many engines do I need to optimally power machine xyz), cooling engines etc.

texts: Mission five of MSD, any hint how to handle it?

texts:
The last update added to the game "Mission", which are staged with preseted deck and no base upgrade. The first 4 ones are quite easy, but I m struggling at the 5th one.

This mission give you Tarma, Fat Tarma, Drill Slug and Sand Bag, with the goal to stay alive 80seconds.

Problem is, the map start with 5 wall of worms, which are suicidary charging powerful unit if activated by one of your unit going near them. Basically, if activated, it s game over since your unit can t spawn and kill them fast enought.

Add to that a powerful giant worm which can kill in one shot both Tarma, and it seems to me that you re supposed to spam Drill Slug, that have a too long recharge time.

Can anybody hint me on the strategy to use?

(The only thing I found on internet is to use Sand Bag and Drill Slug at the first wave to try to kill the more maggot possible, but past this point, I usually have maggot + giant worm breaching the sand bag, kill Drill Slug and my base before being able to respawn Drill Slug, both Tarma get killed before being able to use the shotgun).

For example:
 (Is one better for fps while another is better for open world? Do they render texture heavy games like ark evolved better or worse? Which is better for fighters?)

texts:
I'm playing FreeOrion (a free 4x game based on Master of Orion), and when I put a ship in the production queue, there are two drop-downs at the top-left which both affect the total number of ships that get built.  But, I don't understand the difference between the two options:

You can see that I can choose 1, 2,3,4,5,10,20,50, or 99; and choosing 2 ends up creating two ships.  But, the other option right beside it also changes the number of ships built, but it seems like choosing that one is slower.

My Question:  What are the the two options changing, besides just # of ships produced?


texts: How to get past a locked door in Fort Hagen Command Center?

texts:
I’m playing through Fallout 4 again, and I’ve come across a bug in the game that’s preventing me from proceeding.
While playing the quest “Reunions”, I fought my way through Fort Hagen, all the way down to just before the boss fight with Kellogg.
Just before I engaged him, I went back to Sanctuary to drop some stuff, rest up, and grab some gear. Now that I’ve returned, there is a locked gate just as you enter the Fort Hagen Command Center, down the hall to the right.
The gate was open before, and there are dead synths all over from the last time I was there, but there is no way to open this gate now. It’s not controlled by a terminal or anything like that. In fact, I’m not sure I had to do anything special to open it before that I remember.
How do I get past this so I can fight Kellogg and complete the quest?

texts: What's the most efficient way to worsen your rank?

texts:
In Awesomenauts, like in any MOBA, a lot of the fun depends on how well-matched you and your enemy are in terms of skill. I used to play Foxy and reached league 3, but now I want to learn Derpl, a character I've never played before. I expect to be demolished in leagues 3-6 because of this, and I don't really want to have a series of losses and let other people down. So before I start learning Derpl, I want to lower my league to at least league 7. How do I do it efficiently, in terms of time taken and effect on other players? Do I need to play long games or leave prematurely? Do I need to die a lot or just be passive?

If this question is too complex, then more simple question: What is the formula for my rank changes after I finish a game?

texts: Minecraft lightning strike inside building

texts:
I know you can get struck by lightning in Minecraft, but is it possible to get struck while you're inside your base?

During a thunderstorm I went inside my base where I had a bunch of my animals such as my tamed cats and dogs. My base wasn't quite finished yet and there was a hole in the ceiling on the one side where I hadn't finished building yet so I could still see the rain and the lightning from inside my base. Suddenly I heard one of my cats sheik and make a sound like it was dying and when I turned it was gone.

The cat that died was in the opposite side of the base than where the whole in the ceiling was so it wasn't anywhere near it but it was sitting right next to the wall, so I had wondered if the lightning had struck it through the wall. I know sometimes if an animal is right up against a block you can see its head poking out from the other side so I just wanted to know if it was possible for an animal to get struck my lightning from inside.


texts: Should I use Wands of Cure Light Wounds to heal in Neverwinter Nights 2?

texts:
Neverwinter Nights 2 is a video game that largely bases its rules on the system of Dungeons and Dragons 3.5e.

I remember from Dungeons&Dragons 3.5e and from Pathfinder (both being tabletop roleplaying games using similar rules) that the most efficient way to heal is using a Wand of Cure Light Wounds, which heals 1d8+1 HP per charge used. Such a device has 50 charges and costs 750 GP if bought from the market or 375 GP if crafted by the player characters. I also remember that healing in combat is usually not effective unless there is a chance for someone to die.

Is it still true in Neverwinter Nights 2? If not, how should I heal in this game?

With the remade Twisted Treeline map, laning can be very tricky as they are very vulnerable to ganks, especially due to there being no wards allowed on the map any more.

I'm a Twitch streamer and Youtube content creator. I use an Elgato capture card and I'm just starting out.

Is there a solid solution for capturing voice chat one the Xbox one and PS4 that doesn't require crazy hack job adapters and such?

The teleport feature is new to this patch (to my understanding) so please help me understand if I'm doing this right.


texts: When "you're going too fast" popup shows does it still track egg tracking when going slower again?

texts:
Whenever you are in a car and go too fast the popup of "you're going too fast" shows up and you can click "I'm a passenger". Now I know that it won't track eggs when you're going too fast. But what if you're going slowly later on due too traffic jam or whatever but still have the popup showing because you didn't click it yet?

The reason I ask is that I want to keep the app running while I'm driving but I don't want to pay attention to the screen (because I'm driving) so I can't click the "I'm a passenger" button.

EDIT:
While the question of the possible duplicate "What happens if I don't acknowledge that I'm a passenger?" should answer my question I think it isn't answered for my case. The answer there doesn't take into account egg hatching.

texts: Disable a button on an Xbox controller on Windows?

texts:
So, here's my use case - I own a Band Hero drumkit for the Xbox 360. It gets picked up by my Xbox 360 wireless receiver on Windows without any issues, and it's even recognised as a drum kit. So far, so good.
However, the moment I strike any of the drum heads, the controller registers a button 9 press that remains held for as long as the kit is turned on. This, as you can imagine, makes it impossible to map the pads to anything useful - everything gets mapped to that blasted button 9.
I decided to figure out what button 9 even is, and as it turns out, it's the left stick button press. The drum kit doesn't even have any thumbsticks, so I have zero idea why it's even sending out the signal.
So, here's my question: is it possible to disable that particular button through the drivers somehow? I could just buy a replacement drum brain, but those are increasingly scarce, and if there's an easy software fix, I can live with that.

I'm pretty new to Civilization, but I'm getting the hang of the rules I think.

I interpreted that as "not within 4 spaces of the boundary of ANY city (even other players)... but I think I got that wrong because Russia just settled a city right on my border... so can anyone explain what specifically is meant by this rule?

Also, is there anyway to stop Russia's settler without going to war with them?

Does anyone know (or is any kind soul willing to test) bringing noted weapons and armor into the tomb? If so, I can simply note my items to get them into the tomb and do the quest, and I'll only have to risk my runes on the floor. Otherwise, well it might significantly change my strategy.

texts: Items don't appear at Rangers Safe-house fater updating to patch 1.4.0525

texts:
After getting a high reputation with NCR, Colonel Hsu gave me the key to the Rangers Safe-house near Black Mountain. I went there but reward items were missing, such as the Rangers Combat Armor and other items that should be displayed in the shelf. Also, the NCR officer in charge of the safe-house not showed up.

Reading on line I found this is a bug, and common solutions were to wait a couple of days (up to four days) and then return to the safe-house. I did it and the NCR soldier was there, but not the items.

I also upgraded recently to patch 1.4.0525 and returned to the safe-house, but the items still don't show on the shelf. Is there any solution to this problem?

Seeing as I'm playing an Imperial, there's a lot of Red Color Crystals floating around. But I'm a pretty tolerant dude, and have hit a rank of Light IV.

All well and good, but I've recently started giving my companions customizable gear, since, as a Cybertech, that's easier for me to keep upgraded, but I'm stymied by color crystals. Will my companions be able to equip and benefit from gear with alignment restrictions? We know they don't have alignments of their own in spite of a display bug, but can they equip restricted items in spite of that? If so, do they inherit the alignment and restrictions of the PC, or can they just use anything?

In New SMB for Wii, there appears to be a similar setup.   Is the same true, and if so, what colors indicate that there are multiple exits?


texts: How to transfer party members and items between Alm and Celica's parties in Fire Emblem Gaiden

texts:
i'm completing chapter 3 and have currently conquered all enemies for Alm's party, and have completed up to the mountain village (but just recently got the Holy Sword) with Celica's. I was told in a previous question that I would be able to transfer items and members between the two parties.

So far I haven't figured out how to do that. I tried putting the item in convoy, then having the other party take it out, but it doesn't work, and it doesn't answer how to transfer between party members. there is a girl in the Forest village whom i think is related to this, who i believe does some kind of Item Swap(?) but i'm not sure. I was told in response to the previous question

  Yep, and you'll be able to send items between the parties as well. So, you can switch after every battle or every few battles depending on if you want to pass along certain items or whatever.

But when and how does this happen?

Am I wrong to think these are two seperate genres of games? Or are co-op and multiplayer virtually the same?

I've come across a suggestion for custom-enabling "Large Address Aware" ability for game executables, which as far as I understand, essentially allows 32-bit games to access 64-bit memory space.

Bonus:

texts: Can scoreboard tags affect entity despawning? I checked the wiki, but there is no mention of it. Logically, it seems like the answer would be no, because they just classify/identify entities, but name-tagging an entity makes it despawn-proof, so maybe tags do too? Just wanting to be sure.

In the game Crysis 2, after the destroying the first Pinger, there is a glitch.

I'm at the part when you encounter the first pinger. After I defeat it the wall falls down and 2 jeeps dive out of it. Then some dude gets out the car and my mission is to regroup at him. If I go to him nothing happens, after like 20 min he starts to walk arround abit but nothing more.

I read that some other people have the same problem. Is there gonna be a fix for this? I already reïnstalled the game.

Is there some easy way to kill Craw Maggots in the Crawmerax fight? I play Siren and I usually have a friend playing Hunter. I've got most of the legendary (orange) weapons, I prefer SMGs, Sniper Rifles and Magnums but I can use any gun.

Armored Craw Worms go down in 3-4 shots from a Defiler (Corrosive Magnum), my Hellfire (Fire SMG) tears down Green Craw Worms in a couple seconds. NOTHING kills those insanely annoying Craw Maggots without a struggle.

I know Electric (and non-elemental?) weapons are recommended for them, but is there some trick to it? Several shots to the face with an Orion (Thunder Sniper) eventually kills them but it takes several seconds. Thunder Magnums and SMGs don't help much. Criticals are hard since they move so fast.

I've read the Borderlands Wiki post on Craw Maggots (and all pages about Crawmerax) but these things are still by far he hardest part of the Crawmerax fight and they don't die to "two to three" shots as the wiki suggests (at least not with my guns).

Is there any reasonable way to kill Craw Maggots within 3-5 shots or 1-2 seconds of sustained fire?


texts: Pocket Legends, Can't find suitable quests for newbie

texts:
I am a new player in Pocket Legends MMO(iPhone game) world.

At the beginning I am a character of level 2. Now I want to explore different places. But wherever I go, it says you can't enter until you are of X level, where X is very high.

So, I have 2 options to increase my level(I guess)
1. Kill someone
2. Complete objectives.

But, I don't find places where a newbie can kill enemies. I found someplace where there are lots of skeletons, but I can't kill them alone. I need a party. So, 1st option out of reach.

Second option is completing different quests. But, here there are also level issues. Most of the objectives I take require a high level character. I don't find quests that ares suitable for level 2-3 character.

What do I do in this situation to level up my character?

texts: Number of scanned surfaces in deep space

texts:
In Elite Dangerous it's possible to see various stats such as how many kills, how much you've traded, what your current inventory status is (including materials), but can you see how many scans you've collected?

I know on the Statistics section there is the ability to see how many systems and how much that has made in Credits, but I'd really like to know if there is a way to see (whilst in deep space) how many stars / planets I've scanned ready for selling.   I'd also love to know if there are stats available (that I might be missing) on how many planets I've landed on during that journey.

Does anybody know if this is something that is available?  Even if it requires working it out from the Stats menu then I guess I could live with it.

On the puzzle swap screen it says I have 105/105 of the pieces whereas I can confirm that I've passed my friend who has a panel and pieces I don't own.

I also have spotpass and street pass enabled for the app.

  When does loot respawn in DayZ?

How do you execute loot runs while traveling in a vehicle? I've noticed that loot, like zombies, doesn't spawn while you're inside of a vehicle. But unlike zombies, loot doesn't seem to spawn when I exit either. Seems the only way I can get loot to spawn is to approach the lootzone/building on foot from a distance.

So, if you want to bring your car with you, and do a loot run through a town, wat do? Do you park in a semi-safe location outside of town, go in on foot, grab loot and then return to the car before moving on to the next town? Do you know of any faster/smarter strategies?


texts: How to deal with enemies with no weaknesses?

texts:
In my infiltration of a palace I started to notice a bit of a trend with enemies I am fighting. More and more the enemies are either having hard to use weaknesses or the even worse case no weaknesses at all. I have ran into an extremely difficult set of enemies in a palace that consists of one or two enemies that are resistant to all physical attacks, and have no magical weaknesses at all. These enemies are nearly always backed up with healer enemies, which honestly don't pose too much of a threat but here is my problem.

How can I deal with these types of enemies with no weaknesses without having my party getting slaughtered while these enemies run rampant unable to be knocked down by anything besides a lucky critical.

Both areas are filled with turrets, like 5 or 6 turrets at once, combined with several armed or unarmed mooks. I have no idea how to deal with those areas without the batmobile, since the remote hacking device only handles 1 at a time. I have noticed that part of my skill tree is still locked, even though I've finished the storyline already. Is this part needed to deal with these sections? Or is there another way to deal with this checkpoint and this crewmember?

texts: How to prevent cargo from swinging inside fairings?

texts:
I'm using Ferram Aerospace Research to add some realism to drag. But this makes me to use fairings for my payload.

Sad thing is, my payload swings. A lot. I tried both KW Rocketry and Procedural Fairings but both express the same behaviour. Without internal struts I can't make it to an orbit sometimes.

Placing internal struts is next to impossible, so is there any other way to have cargo secured? I know that mission failures caused by payload fairings happens in real life, but I think I had enough of them to feel realism already. There are some patents for securing cargo inside fairing (I mean real life USA and EU patents) - is there any way to get the same in KSP?

I mean, for example, something like CFLR here:

Article with this image

  To give the fairing structural support during the ascent, the "Centaur Forward Load Reactor" deck has been designed by Contraves. This aluminum ring extends from the Centaur to the fairing's inner wall. It separates in two halves moments after the fairing is jettisoned during launch.

Rich Iron Ore locations

texts: Find location when flying a lander in KSP

texts:
How can you find a location when flying a lander in KSP? I have a contract to collect soil samples from specific zones on Minmus. The locations are shown with pink sample bags in the orbit map, but aren't marked in staging view.

I can activate navigation to the location. This adds the pink sample bag symbol to the navball on the direction to the location. When flying over a location I'm looking down on the top half of the navball, but the mark for the location is conveniently located on the bottom half.

Landing somewhere near the locations doesn't work because they aren't visible to the Kerbal on an EVA (and the Kerbal doesn't have a navball).

How can I find these locations while flying my lander?

Example

These locations are not ordinary objects. You can't set them as a target, only "activate navigation".

Only descending into a crater so that a location was above me could I get a good enough idea of which direction it was.

This is the view of the navball from almost directly above the location. Notice there isn't an anti-location marker.

If I roll the craft over the location marker is visible on the underside of the navball.

The above series of actions isn't a solution. It's an aggressive 500 m/s Δv maneuver to demonstrate the conundrum.

texts: Is there an unwritten etiquette for GTA V lobbies?

texts:
I've only racked up about 10 hours in GTA 5 Online (for PC), and so far just having fun in the lobby is fantastic.

However I'm only a Level 10 , so imagine my surprise last night when I went to go to Los Santos Customs and saw about 5 members of a crew, all level 100 or above, in identical cars, driving in a circle formation around the Los Santos Customs car park.

So I did what any self-respecting GTA player would do. I got out my rocket launcher and blew them up. All of them.

This resulted in them getting mad. They became verbally abusive (eh, this is not uncommon and doesn't particularly worry me), told me that it's not cool to interrupt when they're "trying to do something" and they all voted to kick me from the session, and BAM I was gone.

In my searches for an answer to this on the internet, I found a lot of people who are very grumpy when people kill them "unprovoked". But I thought that was the point of the game?

I'm not particularly concerned about the incident, but it made me wonder if there's some sort of unofficial etiquette I should have been following?

texts: Are mods from level 60 commendation gear freely transferable between slots?

texts:
It seems like, given the incredibly slow rate of getting purple mats from crew skills, it would be faster to farm dailies for the basic commendation to get purple gear for both me and my main companion.  The issue is I like the way my gear looks and, until I get set bonus gear, I don't plan on replacing it.

Are the mods from the commendation gear freely transferable? And by that, I mean, for instance, some of the Oricon purple gear and the few pieces that dropped during Forged Alliance allowed me to extract the mods, but they were "bound" to the equipment slot. In other words, mods pulled from a chest piece could only be placed in another chest piece.
Sometimes it seemed like this went away if I logged out and logged back in but I'm not sure if that was the trigger, if it was time-based, or if it was just buggy.

So ... anyone know how this works?

texts: Will buying items from the Mann Co. Online Store give me Trading Cards?

texts:
The Steam Trading Cards Beta currently states:

  What about free to play games like Team Fortress 2 or Dota 2?

  Free to play games drop game cards based on your in-game purchasing.
  For every $9 USD spent (approximate) since the start of the Steam
  Trading Card Beta, you will earn one card drop. This card will drop at
  some point as you play. If you have made in-game purchases in Dota 2
  or Team Fortress 2 prior to the Steam Trading Card Beta, or if you
  owned Team Fortress 2 prior to the Free to Play update, you will have
  4 or 5 additional card drops available.

While it only mentions in-game purchases, will buying items from the Mann Co. Online Store count as an "in-game" purchase? I more often use the the Mann Co. Online Store when buying things; I can easily switch tabs to the Wiki and see each item's detail, and that helps me when buying any item.

Essentially, if I purchased $9.00 USD of items from the Mann Co. Online Store, will I get a trading card, or must all purchases be completed via the in-game store?


texts: Is Intelligence useless for Clerics in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness?

texts:
I have heard that Intelligence increases spell power and that Resistance increases the power of healing spells. However when I first read this I was confused if that meant the resistence of the castor or castee. I also believed that both intelligence and resistence increased the power of healing spells.

The most specific statement I've found regarding this is:

  Intelligence - Increases magical attack power and accuracy. [...]
  Resistance - Gives 70% of magical defences, and boosts the amount of
  health healed from a healing spell. Also boosts the 4 stat boosting
  spells.(Shield-Defence; Braveheart-Attack; Magic Boost-Intelligence;
  Magic Wall-Resistance)

However, initially Clerics have a higher INT stat that RES! The above quote seems to mean that intelligence is useless for clerics unless you plan to give them combat spells. Is it useless for Clerics?

Bonus: Anyone know exactly what the healing spell formula is?

Spycicle
Shortstop (Ball)
Flying Guillotine

Crit-a-Cola
Bonk! Atomic Punch
Jarate
Mad Milk
Dead Ringer
Invisibility Watch

So here I am, playing my little asari adept, and I'm slinging Warps and Throws at dudes, and I notice that sometimes when a dude has been Warped and then Thrown, he does not properly explode. Now, this does not please me; I want to see and hear that delightful blue boom-thunderclap that says "you did this right, and now several people are in serious worlds of pain as a result; this is why we bring biotics."

It just seems that sometimes a biotic explosion is not triggered when it should be, namely when I have Warped and Thrown someone. I mean, when it works, it is the best thing, but other times I feel like no matter how many times I alternate those two powers these guys will simply not let an explosion be triggered. Is it because someone might be shooting them? Is it because someone isn't shooting them? Is it because maybe someone else is Warping or Pulling or whatever? Is it because of wizards?

texts: How do I get rid of Rebels without causing an uprising?

texts:
I have a bit of a problem with rebels: if I leave them alone, they attack. If I start knocking them off with the Banish or Execute actions, then civil unrest rises, there's an uprising, and everyone attacks.

I suppose I could change the constitution to Democracy, so there's no uprisings, but having a high civil unrest can't possibly be good even if there isn't a large-scale rebellion. My current solution is just to have a large military, so that the rebel attacks are trivial to defeat.

Is there a method of reducing the membership of the Rebels without turning my island into an armed camp? (The Capitalist in me is vexed, because bullets cost money.) In Tropico 4, I would increase happiness however I could and then issue the Amnesty edict to get the Rebels to come home and pay their taxes like regular citizens; is there a way in Tropico 5 to get a similar result?

I've been playing Skyrim with a few characters over the year since it has been out. I've always disliked the Thalmor and choose to eliminate them at every turn. So I've stormed their keep, burned down the embassy and killed any Justicars I find on the road. But, no matter what I still always find a few Justicars roaming the woods and roads from time to time.

Is there any way (without mods) to actually defeat and remove the Thalmor from Skyrim?

Now I don't run into them very often and they aren't hard to kill by any means, this is mainly an objective I'd personally like to accomplish.

texts: Are there any sure-fire ways to beat Round 100 on Deflation mode?

texts:
There is an achievement for beating Round 100 on Deflation mode. A long time ago, there was a glitch that allowed players to earn money in Deflation mode, but that has since been patched. There are still probably glitched I could use to earn money, but they are really time-consuming.
My highest round is 95 on Cubism with Sauda. When Sauda was added, she was OP. I took advantage of that for sure. I know she can easily solo all the way up to Round 100 in a regular game, but that's with money and early level-ups. That's not possible in Deflation.

On this round, the DDTs overwhelm her.
Are there any strategies, preferably glitchless, that could ensure a win? Not specifically with my current setup, but with any map and any hero?

texts: Can I complete Home Sweet Home without enraging the Minute Men?

texts:
TL;DR I want to get the perks for completing Nuka World but don't want Preston to shoot me in the face. Is this possible?

I'm playing the sort of character who wouldn't side with the Raiders but would play along with them long enough to get everything I could before murdering them all. I'd like to get the perks from completing Power Play but as soon as I set a raider flag in the Commonwealth, I'm informed that "Preston hated that" (understandably so, even if he has no way of knowing because this settlement is miles away). The settlement I picked doesn't involve forcing any settlers off their land; I'm literally just creating one settlement that I plan to completely neglect until I can get the power on at Nuka World and slaughter everyone (including the settlement in the Commonwealth).

Preston and Ronnie however immediately go hostile without giving me a chance to explain myself. Preston is currently my lover so it's not a question of getting his affinity higher. I planted the flag and went directly to The Castle only to get a laser in my face for my troubles. I also tried having Preston as my companion during this mission, hoping that I could maybe convince him to trust me even if he hated me and eventually rebuild our relationship, and still got a laser in my face for my troubles.

Here is what I've tried so far to try and keep Preston from getting mad:

Planting the flag and waiting for a week or so to see if he calms down
Sending him to Far Harbor before planting the flag.

Can I complete this objective (Home Sweet Home, Power Play, kill all raiders, bring in settlers) without the whole laser-in-my-face thing? I'm playing on Survival mode so the console is out.

I recently started a minecraft server (locally, my server sits next to my desktop on my local network) and today I noticed that my 200 gb monthly limit is nearing, which is an 800% increase in internet usage.

I go to my ISP webpage, and the hourly breakdown and I can clearly see the hours that I was playing minecraft as the hours when downloads/uploads were occuring.

Does minecraft really use bandwidth unnecessarily while simply being logged in or playing? (I say unnessasarily because me and my server are both on the same network, there is no external server and no need to go outside my network).

Is there any simply solution that I can employ with my router, short of logging in to minecraft and then unplugging the router from the phone line?

texts: New way to upload custom screenshots to Steam

texts:
It's been a while since I uploaded my latest screenshot to Steam, because mere 4 gigabytes of cloud space granted by Valve got exhausted really fast. In the meantime I still continued to take screenshots, with Steam and with other tools, saving them locally and patiently waiting when upload limits are increased, so I can upload all this stuff again.

And the screenshot space finally got increased to whopping 20 GB! This means we can now upload tons of screenshots we made since the last cloud space bump.

But unfortunately something has changed and now I can't upload any old screenshots. I wrote "custom" in the question's title, but in my case screenshots are custom basically because they were taken with some third party utility or even with PrtScr and Ctrl + V.

The new naming scheme is YYYMMDDHHMMSS_1.jpg, files are still saved to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<user id>\<some number>\remote\<game id>\screenshots, and when you place your custom screenshots to this folder, Steam screenshot uploader sees them, creates thumbnails, but refuses to upload. Now it only uploads screenshots actually taken with Steam.

So guides like this one became obsolete. The notorious "Steam Cloud may be temporarily unavailable" error appears. I'm sure custom screenshots still can be uploaded, but the whole process apparently now is more tricky.

Anyone able to crack this for us screenshotheads?

texts: How can I pass these barriers or must I restart the quest?

texts:
While exploring the archives for the 2nd seal to restore Zoltun I found a room that was stacked with strong enemies.  I chose to retreat back through the doorway but found myself sealed off from the battle.

My templar and my spider could not cross the barrier, but if the enemies come close enough we can hit them for a few points of damage.

I suspect that I need to destroy the arcane construct to lower the field and so I fear that I'll have to backtrack a bit.

Is there any way to drop this door or is it a glitch?

On the Authentic (Hardcore) difficulty, you have to compensate for the wind.  While looking through your sniper scope, there is a small gauge up near the top that indicates the direction and force of the wind:

The gauge shows a white tick mark that moves back and forth to indicate the wind.  The farther over it is, the stronger it is blowing in that direction.

My question is, should I try to align my target under the white tick mark of the gauge or is the gauge purely to show how strong the wind is currently blowing and for estimating purposes only?

I've heard that in the NCR Ranger Safehouse in FO:NV (near Black Mountain) there is some nice gear to be found.

I have a positive reputation with the NCR, and I also have the NCR Safehouse key from Col. James Hsu. But, the door to the safe-house still says "Requires Key".

I did my research and found this on the Fallout Wikia:

  After discovering the location, an NCR Sergeant and an NCR soldier may come and talk to you. Afterward, when fast-travelling to the NCR Ranger Safehouse, the door can be locked with no option to do anything, and the rocks along the path will not be solid.

This does not seem to be the case, though. No NCR sergeant or soldier talked to me while I approached the entrance, and the rocks are still solid. What's the problem?

texts:
In Fire Emblem Heroes, the all players are in some tier, but I can't figure out what determines this.  For instance, the first week, I (and I think all players) was in tier 1, the second week I was in tier 2, and this week I've been in tier 3.  From what I've found, you only fight players in the same tier as you, but I haven't been able to figure out what determines tier each week.

If it helps anyone figure it out, I've been scoring around 3100 - 3600 in offense each week and 250 - 270 in defense, but have been unranked.


texts: Glacial, Magnetic and Mossy Lures; what Pokémon do they attract?

texts:
So the new Lures modules will attract specific types of Pokémon, based on the Lure you use.

  Glacial Lure Module - A frosty Lure Module that attracts Water and Ice Pokémon for 30 minutes.
  Magnetic Lure Module - An electronic Lure Module that attracts Electric, Steel and Rock Pokémon for 30 minutes.
  Mossy Lure Module - A natural Lure Module that attracts Bug, Grass and Poison Pokémon for 30 minutes.

How does this work with Pokémon that have multiple types? For example, Omanyte and Kabuto are both Rock/Water, and Aerodactyl are Rock/Flying.

So, would this work with these Pokémon? Is it reliant on a "primary/secondary type"? If I were to place down a Magnetic Lure, would I have a chance of encountering all 3, whereas if I placed down a Glacial lure, I would only have a chance of encountering the first 2? Or is there a specific list of Pokémon that these lures attract?

texts:
I've found some real nice weapons and shields, but, honestly, I don't really need these 20 damage plus flame blades and soldiers bows and such to take care of most of the low level baddies I'm fighting right now. Since inventory space is at a premium early on though, it's tough to carry them around and also have room for the simpler broadswords and such I actually use to kill ordinary mobs.

I know I can turn in Koro Seeds to increase my inventory space, but until I can do that, is there anyplace I can safely drop some nice weapons on the ground and have them not disappear?


texts: Does it matter how I complete "Under Saarthal"?

texts:
This is my first playthrough of Skyrim, so keep any answers as spoiler-free as possible please!

I'm a level 30 Bosmer focusing on sneak, archery, and one-handed skills. I haven't really done anything serious with magic yet - I learn all the spells I can from looted Spell Tomes, but that's pretty much it. I've only increased my Magicka twice in the entire game. When I got to the College of Winterhold, I decided I wanted to try and be a good apprentice and use only magic. My decision was reinforced when, in the "Under Saarthal" quest, a member of the Psijic order appeared and said he would be judging my actions. I took this to mean that he would be watching how I used magic through the rest of the dungeon.

And then I got to the part where my guide decided to stay and look at some tombs, and I had to continue alone.  Being level 30, I immediately encountered 2 Dragur Scourges and a Dragur Deathlord at the same time, and my pitiful magic did practically no damage to them. Needless to say I was slaughtered.

So to get to my question: can I complete the dungeon as a sneaking wood-elf with a bow and a dagger without invoking the wrath of the Psijic Order? Or should I do some Rocky-style magic training before trying again?

texts: How is self-mitigated damage calculated?

texts:
Recently there was a change in the end game stats on the client, and one of the new stats show self-mitigated damage. While playing Jarvan IV, I managed to rack up ~40,000 in self-mitigated damage, which kind of makes sense as I use shield a lot and patch 7.9 states

  Damage Mitigated on Self (how much damage you reduced or blocked on yourself through your abilities and shields)

However, the Ezreal in my game had ~7,000 self mitigated damage and he has no shields or damage reduction abilities. So how exactly is self-mitigated damage calculated?

texts:
In The Elder Scrolls series, Necromancy is legal in most places in Tamriel (the main exception being in the province of Morrowind, although they make it clear in The Elder Scrolls III that this is because of local taboos and that it is legal elsewhere). In fact, it was a big plot point in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion that the current head of the Mages Guild had outlawed Necromancy, overturning centuries of its legality (and this came back to bite him). The Elder Scrolls I: Arena and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall even have local holidays where the descriptions say things like: "In celebration of the oldest magical science, necromancy, all magical items are half price today."

My question is, why is it legal? It's clear that the founder of the Mages Guild was strongly opposed to the practice (third paragraph of this book) and just about all the lorebooks on the topic show it as having negative consequences with few, if any, positive ones (e.g. one book talked about how a dead child was resurrected using Necromancy, but this greatly aged her). Moreover it's referred to multiple times as "The Black Arts" and there is definitely a stigma against it.

So why is Necromancy legal in Tamriel throughout the majority of the Elder Scrolls games?


texts:
In the previous game, the wind direction played a huge role in how fast you sailed (as expected).  If you sailed against the wind, you'd sail slower than if you had sailed with the wind.

In this game however, it doesn't seem to be the case.  You can sail at what seems to be the same speed if you sailed against the wind.  You even see the wind direction arrow turn red when going against it but still... no slowdowns.

I'm guessing it would have an influence on the direction rogue waves go during storms, but this also isn't the case.  It seems like the wind direction does absolutely nothing.

Does the wind direction have any effect on anything while sailing?

I am still a bit confused about power armor in Fallout 4, especially since you can have several and do all the upgrades and such.

I recently came across my second power armor, but it was missing the legs and an arm. I searched all around the armor, but I did not come across the extra pieces. I still took the unit back to Sanctuary, and just set it to the side.

Where do I get the parts for my second armor? I can not find an option to make them; Is that possible, or do I have to find other units and scavenge parts off them to make a second fully loaded chassis? And if that is the case, what am I suppose to do with the old frames?

I was really slow on the uptake of damage and repair on my first suit, and I was worried that I lost all the pieces, but then noticed that they had been  automatically added to my inventory. This allows me to repair them and equip them back on my armor. Is this a correct observation?

texts: How can I solve the last Battle on Commander Difficulty?

texts:
I am having real issues beating the last battle.

It goes fine until the 2 mutons and all the minion commanders show up and at that point, I am often already out of ammo. Due to their jump ability, the 2 Mutons close in very fast and the drones that always lift my squaddies lead to my defeat.

What is the best combination in squaddies? I use a tech with a rocket turret and a sniper.
Are there any other hints beating this? Normally I didn't have much issues with the game, but this last battle is giving me a true headache.


texts: When respawning as a Skulk, do I have to re-mutate?

texts:
I enjoy playing as a skulk, and towards the latter part of the game you can mutate with upgrades (extra armor, regeneration, extra energy, etc).

When I die and respawn, do I keep those upgrades, or must I mutate again each life?


texts:
After the recent class update, I've been trying to increase my play time from 2 to 3 hours per week to 2 to 3 per night in order to receive additional weapon drops. Yet this doesn't seem to be enough to find the weapons that I'm after. My question is:

What are the latest methods for idling in Team Fortress 2?
Does Valve still actively punish idlers, and if so, how do I avoid this?


texts: Game Of Thrones (Telltale) PC won't pick up Xbox One controller

texts:
I plugged in my Xbox One controller via USB, started Game of Thrones, and it doesn't register that the controller is plugged in.  The Controls section in Settings just shows me mouse and WASD.

Other people online say it works automatically, and the Steam page says full controller support.  I've also tested with other games and the controller has registered immediately.  What could be going wrong?
