texts: How do I enable gore in games I bought on steam from Germany

texts:
Now please don't tell me that violent video games are illegal in Germany, they are not. :)

I have a perfectly good and gory version of Half-Life one but I can't find the disk anymore.
I bought stuff a while ago and it included the orange box and now I would like to play my steam copy of Half-Life without fighting robots. Is there any way to enable gore?

Patches are fine, too.


texts: Can I avoid spending sun and not spend (in game) money?

texts:
In order to get a star in some levels of Plants vs. Zombies 2, you are required to not spend any sun for rather lengthy periods of time (90 seconds, and even 120 seconds). The only plant I currently have that has any sort of detrimental effect on zombies and that costs no sun is the iceberg lettuce, and that simply does not tide me over until I can start using sun.

I've been getting through these levels (and getting a star) by spending in-game money to kill zombies by pinching them. Seeing how activating said ability costs 800, it makes losing the level a rather painful affair.

Is there some way I am overlooking to finish the level, get the star, and not resort to spending money?

texts:
Quests are one of the newer features added to Clash Royale. Completing quests (given to you daily) contribute points to unlocking a chest (once you click "Collect Reward") assigned to you in the quest log page. More rare chests require more points to unlock and vice versa.

My question comes in two parts:
1) Is there a limit to how many completed quests I can hold before collecting my rewards?
2) Does the game know I've completed the mission and count it towards my total before I collect the reward?
Example: I have 490/500 reward points for unlocking a chest. I complete a quest worth 20 points. In game, until I collect the reward my chest shows 490/500. Does the game really know that I am 510/500 (or 10 points/X new required points)?

If you are wondering "why ask?" It is becoming increasingly imperative for free-to-play players to maximize their chance at getting new cards. If you earn a super magical chest in arena 5, it does you no good open the chest once grinding to arena 11 because the chest still has an "arena 5 value" assigned to it. If a card is going to be released Tuesday, and I complete and collect all points required to open it Monday... Waiting until Tuesday to open the chest is pointless because it will only have Monday's-specific card pool to pull from.

texts: XBox 360 storage device issue with Darksiders

texts:
I've been playing Darksiders now for some time now and I've noticed that when I start the game, in the main menu where it says "Press Start", it always triggers me to select a storage device. Why does it always ask? Is there a problem in my system, or is that just normal behavior? I never had this experience with any other game which I have played.

System:

XBox 360 slim 4GB with no additional storage devices.

texts:
Same deal as here, I have a question about two of the events in Koei's Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII.
In Rot3K8, there are 96 events that you can unlock in different games. Some involve playing a particular character in a certain scenario, some have special triggers such as marrying a particular woman or having X amount of infamy. Two of the last three that I have to complete are events 93 & 94. They involve:

The Han emperor being deposed, as historically was carried out by Cao Pi & in-game can be accomplished in four or five separate ways;
A player-character controlling 10+ prefectures including Luoyang, which leads to the discovery of the former emperor and allows the PC to pledge fealty to him; and
A player-character controlling 40+ prefectures, which leads to the former emperor abdicating to permit the PC's elevation to emperor.

There are two separate versions of this, depending on whether the PC is a member of the Liu family (and thus continuing the Han) or not (in which case a new dynasty is proclaimed).
So my questions:
1. Is there any scenario in the game where one faction has already rediscovered the emperor?
which would spare a player needing to go through the trouble of the first two stages, and
2. Is it possible to trigger both events in the same game?
or is it impossible to do the Liu-family and non-Liu-family versions in the same game by trading control of Luoyang or redeposing the emperor?


texts: Can I permanently store items somewhere?

texts:
In good old CRPG tradition I'm taking anything that isn't nailed down with me. I've got half a forest worth of assorted plants and more iron ore and other crafting materials than any normal human could carry.

Now, at some point I'm reaching the weight limit of my inventory, but I really don't want to throw any crafting and alchemy ingredients away. Is there a place where I can permanently store items so I don't have to carry them around?

In the first game you could do that generally in inns, but I'm now at the first Inn in the game and see no option to store my items.


texts: Where in the story do the non story missions fit?

texts:
In Zombies, Run there are several modes in addition to the normal story. Namely these are:

Airdrop
Supply
Race

How do these fit in the story (or does it even matter)?

I read that Airdrop missions should be played during the first half of season two and race missions between missions 13 and 14 of season one. Does this mean all race missions in ascending order (even the second set)? What about the other types?

Is there some kind of overview including all missions? Or will the missions just occur on the main (home) screen where the I can select the next normal mission?

texts: Screen config error when connected over Remote Desktop

texts:
I hope some of you might know the really old game called Anno 1602.

It is working on my home computer without any problems. Today I tried to connect to it over Windows Remote Desktop and I get the error: "SetDisplayMode failed. Please check if your windows display is set on 256 colors." I know that this is because Anno is a really old game. But as I said, at home it works perfect and now over remote I get this error.

Maybe it is possible to change something in the remote settings with the display?

texts: Person in distress near Mulbrydale (Velen): the master swordsmith refuses to move or talk after being freed from his cage

texts:
I've freed a master swordsmith from his cage in a "Person in distress" area, near Mulbrydale, but he doesn't move and I cannot talk to him (I'm not even prompted with the "E Talk" tooltip).

I've tried everything I could think of: look for a quest that would be necessary to talk to him, close/open the door, look around for a last pirate that should be killed, meditate, reload, restart the game, etc.
Also when I leave and come back to the Velen area, this red glowing unsent letter (that I already had in inventory btw) appears on the floor,but it doesn't unlock anything.

Did I miss something, or is it a bug and I'll never be able to talk to him ?

Note: I'm currently playing on version 1.11, on GOG Galaxy.

Looking at the map, it seems to just be a 1x1 room. What's over there?


texts: Unplayed games appear in Steam jumplist after reboot

texts:
A few days ago I set up family sharing with my brother.  Since then, whenever I restart steam, Dota 2 and Dota 2 - English Depot appear at the top of my steam jumplist (both from steam taskbar and tooltray icon).  I have neither game installed and have never played them.  Since I do most of my game launching from the tooltray icon, this is quite inconvenient for me.  The three games shown below these stay up to date as my last 3 played games.

More specifically let's say my jumplist is

Dota 2 - English Depot
Dota 2
Game 1
Game 2
Game 3

I then Launch games 4-8 so that my jump list looks like

Game 4
Game 5
Game 6
Game 7
Game 8

Then I restart steam.  After the restart my jumplist will be

Dota 2 - English Depot
Dota 2
Game 4
Game 5
Game 6

I have tried a couple things to resolve this.  Removing the games from the jumplist manually (right click on taskbar steam, remove from list) works for the taskbar icon, but does not affect the tooltray icon's list and does not persist through steam restart.  I also tried hiding all Dota 2 games in my library but that had no effect on the jumplist.

Prior to adding family sharing, I had not added Dota 2 to my library.  Since my brother had, the game was automatically added when we shared.  It was the only game my brother had that was free-to-play that I did not already have installed, so I am wondering if that has anything to do with it.

I am looking for some way to correct the behavior of my jumplist, specifically the one from the tooltray icon.

texts: Getting the most out of an ancillary shield booster

texts:
I've been messing around with the following Slasher fit in EFT for a while now, and I had a question re: the effectiveness of the ASB.

[Slasher, Mosquito-Fit]
Damage Control II
Micro Auxiliary Power Core I

Limited 1MN Afterburner I
J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I
Medium Ancillary Shield Booster, Cap Booster 50
Cap Recharger II

5W Infectious Power System Malfunction
125mm Light 'Scout' Autocannon I, Republic Fleet Phased Plasma S
125mm Light 'Scout' Autocannon I, Republic Fleet Phased Plasma S
125mm Light 'Scout' Autocannon I, Republic Fleet Phased Plasma S

Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Small Anti-Thermal Screen Reinforcer I

Would the ASB be more effective in a fight if I were to raise my shield resists with rigs and a Damage Control the way I've got it set up here, or does it not matter?

I've always assumed that you'd want to pair any local reps with a good omni-tank to improve its effectiveness, specifically to reduce incoming damage so that your rep can cover it - am I right?

texts: Does enemy team gain solar when Ayla or Clunck kill themselves?

texts:
I'm trying to evaluate the following scenario:

I'm playing with Ayla and she is in Rage and I notice that she's gonna die either way, if she remains in rage she'd kill herself and if she comes out of rage an enemy Awesomenaut would kill her. The question is, which decision yelids the least solar to the opposite team?

When she kills herself she drops 30 solar on the floor but if the enemy awesomenaut kills her every enemy awesomenaut get 30 solar (total of 90)

So my question is, if she kills herself does enemy awesomenauts gain the 90 solar as well as the 30 on the floor or is it just the 30 on the floor?


texts: I have an N64 that will reset/restart back to the Nintendo 64 logo as if power cycling at random. It isn't a set amount of time into the game, or based on a button combination, but it always resets the same across various games. Sometimes the N64 will reset repeatedly at the logo screen. What are the possible reasons for this happening, and how can I stop it? Is it possible to diagnose or repair the issue myself? I'm using standard controllers and cables, no mods, and the little red/black expansion pack.

This command summons ArmorStand where is crafting with Cobblestone dropped on it's top. The problem is i want this ArmorStand to be summoned in THE MIDDLE of the crafting table not where cobblestone was dropped. Do anyone know how to "round" this coordinates so ArmorStand will be summoned in THE MIDDLE of block under cobblestone?

texts:
For my first game of Dragon Age Origins I'm playing a mage.  So far I've concentrated exclusively on dealing two types of damage so I can get to the higher level spells faster.  Right now fire is my primary and acid (is this Earth?) is my secondary.  However, I'm worried that I'll encounter opponents resistant to both types which will neuter the effectiveness of my mage.

What damage types will best carry me through the game?

(Let me just say that getting my first really good AOE magic attack, fireball, has catapulted my mage from dealing about 1/10 of party damage to dealing >1/2 of party damage)


texts: Why do people follow me when I try to steal their stuff?

texts:
I'm really tired of being followed around homes while trying to steal stuff. It seems that I have this problem more in some holds than in others. For example, in Solitude it doesn't matter what building I go in, the person or shopkeeper runs around trying to keep up with my every move. And they don't just walk either; they are fast and I can usually only grab about one item before they detect me. The worst part is that some of these people never sleep! I've tried entering many different times during the day/night and they are always there, waiting for me to take stuff.

I'm wondering if there is any way to stop this behavior in game. There isn't a disposition meter like in Oblivion, so I'm assuming I can't get friendly enough for the person to stop meddling. Does it somehow correlate with my standing in the hold (like Thane status)? Should I try selling to the person if they are a merchant to get into their good graces?


texts: Is there a way for player to activate mechanisms *directly*?

texts:
As any dwarf engineer knows, all activable mechanisms must have some sort of  a trigger - be it manual dwarf labor for lever pulling or creature/minecart/liquid presence for pressure plates. However, these dwarves probably don't know they are in the computer game containing various bugs, glitches and exploits, and sometimes player can directly affect in-game mechanics without any help from fellow dwarves. By "directly affect" I mean everything that does not include giving orders or placing designations and affects not only dwarves, but other creatures, terrain and environment. Two examples I know of: player can lock a door (for example, to force sieges without building destroyers to change their route) or cancel a suspended construction with some materials "in it" to force their immediate drop as items. Both these actions affect other creatures/environment without any dwarven assistance. So I hope there is such an action which can result in reliably triggering mechanisms akin to pulling levers and pressing pressure plates without dependency on creatures AI's and their pathfinding (aside from DFHack's lever utility).

Initially the idea was to designate constructed wall above a pressure plate, let a dwarf start building it and suspend the construction before it was done, thus creating an improvised stone trap ready to drop it's boulder on cancellation. Hovewer, turns out only liquids and creatures trigger pressure plates, not items. Then I thought to place a fragile non-grazing disposable creature on the plate so the boulder would smash it and thus halt the signal, but even heavy falling boulders do not give 100% guarantee of such "smashing" - thus, no reliability (also, the said creature must be replaced after each "activation", but it's not the main concern).

So... well, I'm stalling. Any advices (or even better, a solution) will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!


texts: Is there any way to bypass or cheat through the Lava Level?

texts:
I'm finding this level absolutely impossible. I've been trying for days now to get through it. I can't get past even the first two or three turning platforms.

Is it really this diffucult? It's been such a fun and relaxing game until now – now I really hate this game and i'm just so, so frustrated.

I have seen the answers on "Advice on the red lava level" but it does not quite help enough. Are there any other tips? Any way to cheat it? A way to slow the lava? A way to save the state right at the bottom of the turning platforms? A way to hack my "save state" to say "you finished this level"?!

I'd really just like to hire an expert to get through this level so I can continue with the fun, relaxing exploration that I thought this game was about.

I'm playing on a PC, if that helps.

texts: Betraying the legion while organising peace talks

texts:
I distrust the Imperials (Legion) and want to join the Stormcloaks – always have. However, I (accidentally) completed the first quest of Joining the Legion (“Clear out Fort Hraggstad”).

I then started the Season Unending quest line. I was able to talk Ulfric into joining the peace talks, but not General Tullius: as you may know, the only dialog option I have there now is to swear allegiance, which triggers the Jagged Crown (Imperials) quest.

However, according to the wiki (and other answers on the web), I should now be able to betray the Legion and give the crown the Ulfric but I am not given this dialog option. In fact, I am now in possession of the Jagged Crown and yet I cannot talk to Ulfric at all, I just get a stock phrase about coming to the council from him.

How do I enact the betrayal? How do I join the Stormcloaks?

I know that there are several, shall we say, complications with these missions. However, my particular situations doesn’t seem to be covered. I guess what I am looking for is confirmation for whether I really cannot join the Stormcloaks any more. I’d probably start all over then, which would be a shame (I really don’t want to join the Imperials, even though I’m a High Elf).

(I’m unfortunately on an Xbox 360 so I cannot install unofficial patches or use the console.)


texts: Level 50 veteran level 1 character, play the other alliance faction questlines, is character or content scaled?

texts:
In my question here, about there being separate areas for the three alliances (factions) in Elder Scrolls Online, I was told, and I've emphasized what is relevant for this question:

  You are correct, the only time you will "meet" other players is in Cyrodiil. Once you have completed the main story and reached Veteran rank 1, you will be given the option to play the Daggerfall covenant or Alderi Dominion quest lines. Even then you will be phased with other Ebonheart Pact players and see no other factions.

When doing this, will I:

Play as level 50 character, in areas appropriate for level 1-3 players (to begin with), containing level 1-3 quests, mobs, and rewards? Meaning that I can probably just shake my fist to have mobs die, and the rewards will only give me a few gold?
Play as level 50 character, in the same areas that level 1-3 of those other alliances have played, but with the quests, mobs, and rewards, scaled to level 50? In other words, here I'll have a chance to get gear, money, xp rewards, that is fit for my level 50 character?
Play as level 1 (again) in those quest-lines, levelling up as normal (this scenario is unlikely, but I added it for completeness)

In other words, what exactly do I get out of this, compared to just starting a new character in another alliance and levelling it up as normal?

texts:
The music in the game recently changed from the kind of bubbly, happy music that it starts out as, to kind of ominous, glitchy sounding music. It sounds like a negative of an image looks.

I tried to think back to what I did before I noticed the new music, and all I can remember is I think I had a Hacker attempt a boost, and they did an awful job (I got like 5 points or something). It seemed to have triggered right after that, but that seems to be an odd thing to be a trigger.

Can anyone verify what causes the music to change?


texts:
I own both Fairy Fencer F on the PS3 and Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force on the PS4.

i know that Advent Dark Force as improvements to the gameplay from the original game but i want to know if Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force is just a remade version of the original game or if it's a squeal/different story. as the first Hyperdiemsntion Neptunia game for PS3 was remade for PS Vita and PC and while key plot elements remained (releasing Histoire using the Key Fragments, Arfoire's final battle) the same the progression and events were very different ie.

   in Re;Birth Overlord Momus is created when in the original game it never exists. in the original game Neptune regains her Memories after the Legendary Weapons are reassembled (in Re;Birth they weren't split apart, just aged) but tried to abandon the party to fight Arfoire alone (leading to a battle with her). in Re;Birth there is more Shoujo Ai/Yuri love between Vert and IF and the method to travel to Celestia is different

So Does Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force contain the same story as Fairy Fencer F?

texts: Does gathering many legendaries before identifying have any advantages?

texts: I recently started playing Diablo3 again after taking a break for some moths. While playing solo I enjoy watching streams because they're sometimes really informative. Something I noticed there was that most streamers would first gather lots of legendaries before actually identifying them. I saw this behaviour at /r/diablo3 too, so I thought of any advantages this would have but the only thing I could think of was that you might always equip the best item out of a larger pool of items, but this seems to be only relevant to characters with a already pretty good item level. So why would people not want to identify their legendaries on fresh 70 toons? Especially if they have  hundreds of millions of gold so that enchanting one semi-good item does not hurt them that much?

I tried different things, most notably installing catalyst control center and unchecking "Application Settings" for Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic filtering in attempt to wake up the video card and boost the performance (was reading in some forums that the video card is running in idle speeds, that is why the frame drops).

No visible improvement of frame rate (especially Undead Burg, and other areas with fires, Blighttown is just awful).

Do you know any tricks?

I started playing Annie lately and I just realized that Annie has everything that a tank needs:

She has a decent defensive steroid which is almost permanent with 40% CDR

My question is: assuming that you team has decent damage dealers, is it viable to build Annie as a tank?

texts: Will offline progress on another system update trophies on my system or PSN account?

  Transferring save games to a system without DLC

I'm going to be spending the weekend at a friend's house.  I plan on taking some of my saved games off my PS3, and loading them on his, to work on.  However, I do not plan on logging in to PSN on his system and would rather avoid it unless it's necessary.  Still, I would like all my game progress (including trophies) to come home with me when I'm done.

I'd like to know whether or not I really need to log in to PSN on my friend's system, in order to have my earned trophies sync with my home system after I refresh the saved game.

To be clear, here's my current plan:

My home system is always logged in to my PSN account.
I will copy my saved games from my home system to a thumb drive, and load them on my friend's system.
I will not log into my PSN account from my friend's system.
I will probably end up earning some trophies while playing on my friend's system.
After I'm done, I'll copy the updated save files from my friend's system back to my system via thumb drive.

Under these conditions, will the trophies earned while on my friend's system be transferred to my home system when I get back?

texts: Diablo 3 (Xbox360) co-op exp and loot mechanics?

texts:
me and my friends just bought Diablo 3 for the Xbox 360.
We played for a couple of hours in co-op mode (3 players).

One of my friends, who supposedly knew more than the rest of us about the game, told us that in co-op mode all exp and money gained from killing monsters is automatically shared among all party members.

After a few hours of play though, we started doubting that this was not true.
Money and loot for starters are individual (leading to an annoying grab-fest every time a boss dies).
We still haven't figured out the exp part, and they refuse to quit our grinding for a little bit in order to experiment and find out, so I'm asking you guys to help me clarify:

1) Is exp divided evenly each time an enemy is killed?

2) If not, does the player who dealt the killing blow gain more experience?

3) Is experience gain in any way related to the amount of damage dealt?

4) Do I get exp for every monster killed by the party or only for the one I hit at least once?

5) Do I still get exp while dead (and waiting to be revived)?

6) Do I get experience from special finds (i.e. books, scrolls, etc.) or does it only go to the character who activated the item?

7) Is quest exp shared evenly among party members, or is there a way to get more exp than the others from a quest?

8) Do items that increase exp gain only affect myself or also the other party members?

Thank you for your answers =D

Also I would be interested in anything that allows me to see how much gold each civilization helps, it would be useful when I have some extra resources lying around and what to get some gold out of it.

texts:
This is my first playthrough and I think I started this quest without realising it.

When I first got to Chapter 2 there was too much going on at once and so it got slightly confusing, so a lot of Quests were added and some where overlooked to begin with, this Quest been one of them.

Anyway, after progressing through the story I have to enter the fog to kill some of the spirits (after going to the hideout place), but if I enter the fog I fail The Butcher of Cidaris Quest (Also failed the Little Sisters quest, but I managed to complete this)

Before continuing with the story I want to complete as much as I can, the objective for this Quest now is to go and speak to the veteran soldier in the camp canteen. The problem is the soldier is not there, there is only the relic peddler and someone asking for orens for some book or something.

So is this a bug or am I missing something? I believe this quest lets you fight in the arena which I want to do. I think his name was Manfred if I am not mistaken, but I cannot find him anywhere and I have looked all through the camp.

Thanks.

texts: When is it more beneficial to have Ghost over Flash?

texts:
I always thought that the Ghost Summoner Spell was essentially the more "noob" version of Flash.  Recently, however, I have seen several pro-level games (MLG, PAX, etc.) where the pros do indeed get Ghost instead of Flash.  I don't understand the logic behind this and was hoping someone could enlighten me.  I've seen it a couple times, but the champion I specifically remember it on was a Shen.

The only thing I could think of was that Shen can already use Taunt to get over walls and obstacles, so perhaps Ghost would generate more distance in the long run... But even this seems like a stretch.

Thus the question: When and why is it more beneficial to get Ghost over Flash?

I'm currently stuck in a crafting menu in Fallout 4, specifically the Cooking menu. I was attempting to craft Vegetable Starch, maybe I was pressing Enter too fast, as once I ran out of Corn I couldn't Tab back out of the menu.

I could quit and reload the game, but I haven't saved in a while so I'd like to avoid that. Is there a way to escape this menu, without quitting the game?


texts: Strange Load error message when trying to load an old save?

I searched , but no site had any specific nor helpful information.

texts: How can I tell if I am on track for the Genocide ending?

texts: I'm doing a Genocide run of Undertale now, which involves killing literally everyone (not only ending all encounters with a fight, but hunting down every monster in an area and killing them). The problem I'm currently having with this is I have to count, and I don't want to count. That, and I'm certain I'm going to miss some counting. Is there any way to know for sure that the Genocide ending will happen at a given point in a run?

texts: Allowing minecraft through a proxy server

texts:
System: Debian 10
Minecraft version: 1.12.2 (Optifine)

My local internet connects via proxy and I'm trying to play on minecraft servers. I've already excluded port 25565 from the proxy server, but I still get an error when trying to connect to a server (mostly mc.hypixel.net). The error is:
"Failed to login : The authentication servers are currently down for maintenance"
This doesn't always pop up, 1/4 of the time I successfully connect to the server. I'm sure that it's not an issue with the authentication servers down, because when I refresh the number of players on the server, the number is sometimes going up. I want to know if there are any other ports / adreses that have to be unlocked in order for minecraft multiplayer to work.

Magic Absorption refers to the effect of the Atronach Stone and Atronach perk from the alteration Tree.

texts: Is it intentional that the last blue monster to die carries most of the loot?

texts:
After killing many, many packs of "blue" monsters, I've noticed that the last monster in a group usually seems to drop far more loot than his other blue brethren.  I can't say that it's always, but it certainly feels like it happens more frequently than just random luck.

Is this by design, or am I just happening to roll better loot more often on the last monster?

texts: Why does my Xbox One turn on randomly (and how do I make it stop)?

texts:
This has been happening for some time now. My Xbox One will turn on randomly. Sometimes, it doesn't make the sound when it turns itself on, I just happen to notice the light on my Xbox One and Kinect are both on.  Other times it does make the sound.

I do not have the "Instant On" feature enabled, nor do I have the "Keep my games & apps up to date" feature enabled.

I do use the Xbox app on Windows 10 as well as on my phone, but as far as I know, these cannot turn the console on (they can connect to the console, however it needs to be on first before they can).

What could be causing this? I have considered the Kinect possibly turning the Xbox on, but why would it? My Kinect is no longer connected to my Xbox and it still happens.

Edit One:  This is still happening after numerous updates - 4 months later.

Edit Two: About 5 months later this is still going on.  Do Xbox One's have some sort of Wake on LAN feature that is hidden?  I'm beginning to wonder if it is attempting to download an update for the software similar to how Windows does.  I've experienced something very similar with my Windows 10 PC turning itself on to download an update (but not install it until I manually restart).

texts: Can't kill Dr. Eva at the end of Priority: Mars with an imported ME3 character on Insanity

texts: I imported my ME3 adept for another playthrough on Insanity and breezed through until I came up to the part where Dr. Eva is charging at the player character in slow motion. I'm using a Paladin V pistol to shoot her, but even 3 consecutive headshots only bring her down to about 10% health, at which point she kills me while I reload. How can I kill her without lowering the difficulty?


texts:
I've been seeing a lot more of this lately in competitive pro play and the pro scene; Zarya players get their ultimates extremely quickly. I understand that their skill and accuracy plays into it quite a bit, but I'm not too shabby as Zarya, and I feel like I earn ult much more slowly.

Is it more beneficial to charge ult by using her secondary fire? Does it have the potential to earn more than by just using the beam?


texts: In Minecraft, I made a tellraw command but it wouldn't show even though its almost exactly similar to another. Any ideas why this happens?

Any idea why the second tellraw appears while the top doesn't?

texts: What are the different types of fishing locations?

texts:
Animal Crossing has always had different fish spawn in different bodies of water, and at different times of days. For example, you'll catch different fish in the River versus  the Sea. However, New Horizons has added some new ones, such as River (Clifftop).

Since there's always some fish that are can only be caught in a specific area (i.e.  Stringfish is only available in River (Clifftop)), it would be really helpful to know the different areas I should be making sure to frequently check for fish (or that it would actually be helpful to toss bait into).

What are all the different types of fishing locations that fish can spawn in?

texts: My PS3 controller always comes on as controller #2, even though it's the only controller.

texts:
I recently bought a PS3 and whenever I turn it on, even with the controller, the controller always starts up as #2.  This is hugely annoying as (for example) inFamous can only be controlled using controller #1.  I have to manually change the controller over to #1 once I get into the game.

Because it's likely part of the problem, I should mention that I also have a USB IR receiver (built for the PS3) also plugged in, so that I can use my universal remote for things like BluRays and Netflix.


texts:
How to beat Mega-Brutal as a Fungus without any Genes, starting from China?
Unlike with my question on doing this as a Bacteria or a Virus, Fungus has none of their good qualities like wide-range durability upgrading or improved mutation, respectively.
Spore Eruption and Hardening are sort of useful, but the point investment required to get them is very prohibitive. By the time I can get them all, the Cure would likely be complete because I didn't boost my mutation rate through animals and going for the research suppression symptoms.
Perhaps if I went for Coughing and the Immune Suppression line as my free initial Symptoms from mutation rate before I get discovered, while rushing the Spore traits and save scumming for as many bubbles as fast as I can...
But save-scumming too much causes a weird sudden lag storm that makes the game unplayable, so I'm seeing if anyone has any better ideas for killing a Mega-Brutal world with a plain boring Fungus.
Note: Not sure what the requirements are, but it's also tedious but possible to save-scum for governmental breakdowns, so that helps a little.

Are there any other methods of gaining fans?

texts: How much replayability is there in Journey without multiplayer?

texts:
I've never played Journey.  Apparently, it's extremely short (three hours or so front-to-back).  I also hear it's wonderful.

Here's the problem:  My PS3 is not (and will never be) connected to the internet.  This means that all my PS3 games are strictly single-player.  I don't want to buy it and discover that I've dropped a chunk of cash on a game where most of the enjoyment comes from playing over and over again with new people.

How much replayability is there in Journey if multiplayer is not an option?

In ESO, you have a rather interesting (at least till now) series of quests for the mage guild (as in all other elder scrolls games actually).

My problem is the following:

I joined the guild and made the first quest (found the book, talked to shalidor, went to cheesmongors hollow, beat gutsripper and took 1 book).
Now the guildmaster has to translate it, but it took a while already, made about 10 levels (i'm 15 now), and the second quest still doesn't start. For fighters guild for example, a guy fund me in town and told me to go to guild for further instructions. Also I already leveled up at mage guild tree by finding lore books.

So... do I have to do anything? Or quest will eventually start?

texts: Is there a way to determine if specific micro is worth it?

texts:
In Starcraft you can use your attention to either hit the perfect timings on your macro or to micro manage your units.

The first one guarantees that your money is invested as soon as possible and you do not lose build cycles.

The second increases your effectiveness of your units beyond what they would be able to do without additional control.

If you are really good you can do both to some degree. Still there are limits to what is possible.

There is a point where micro hurts your gameplay overall, because you neglect macro. If you forget to build 2 SCVs while microing your Reaper to kill 1 Drone you are actually behind 1 SCV.

Is it somehow possible to calculate this in a replay?

For example

In replay XYZ I microed my Reaper for 10 seconds while neglecting macro. Was it worth it? Should I do it again?


texts: Blueprinted Pole Placement over long distances

texts:
The current issue I have is with placing Blueprinted Electric Poles over long distances as shown in this GIF.

Normally, you are able to hold down LMB, and move. Then once you reach maximum distance, you'll automatically place another another pole.
(Provided that there are no other poles nearby too)

However, as seen in the GIF, it doesn't happen for the poles that are blueprinted.

Is there a way to place blueprinted poles at maximum distances?

Edit: I do want the roboport to be placed too. I don't want to go through the trouble of running back to just place a roboport.

I've almost got 2 lvl 60 chars and have only just found my first legendary item, and well, I wasn't that impressed.

Other than being able to boast about an extremely rare find, are there any instances where legendary items are considerably more powerful than a good rare, or are they just for show? I haven't seen a legendary item yet that is worthwhile to me.

texts: How do I goad a foreign power into attacking?

texts:
So I noticed once upon a time, while defending Jerusalem from a Jihad that I was getting a +75 vassal opinion bonus from defending in a holy war.

This came in handy when my character died and was replaced by his son in the middle of said war. Instead of panicking about huge negative opinion vassals due to short reign or pretender status, I just carried on with the war with all my vassals content. It was a long bloody war and by the time it was finished my short reign negative was gone and I'd arranged for several "accidental" deaths.

Later, while sieging my way through a militarily broken France on a conquest war the Muslims attacked again. While I did have to divert some of my armies, my vassals who were grumpy after such a long war in France, all of sudden were happy again. I could finish off France without threat of mass revolt back home while my split army combined with every other Christian nation who lept to my defence dealt with the jihadis.

QUESTION is, as I quite LIKE it when the infidels attack, giving me a huge vassal opinion boost and thereby room to breath, is there any way to goad foreign powers into attacking you at a politically opportune time? Any way to insult them or perhaps fail assassinating them on purpose?

I'm level 25 in Skyrim and I don't think I've seen a single bird.  I've had some bats fly past me once or twice, but that's about it.

These areas, with the mountains and beautiful terrain, birds should be flying everywhere.


texts: What happens if I demolish a monument that I constructed?

texts:
With the new royalty content enabled I have constructed several monuments.

These were either given me as part of a quest, or because my local royal had a tantrum over eating a dinner without a table, and demanded I build a monument to remember the occasion.

What happens if I deconstruct these monuments to regain the resources?


texts: Can I quick detonate C4 while another weapon is equipped?

texts:
When I've placed C4 and have my primary (or other) weapon equipped, is there a way to detonate the C4 without re-equipping the C4 again?

In a previous Battlefield, or maybe it was CoD, you could double-tap reload to do this.


texts:
I can't get through the waves of Demons at the start of Hell. I think I've managed it once with two invulnerability potions and an exceptionally lucky formation of demons that spawned randomly. I don't think I can count on that, which means there must be some easier way to get through all of this, especially after failing 25 times.

For reference, I'm using a Sword of Summoning (lvl 9), I have the Magic Horn and Plate Armor, and have 355 HP from having eaten more candy than an entire city of 9 year olds on November 1st.

What am I missing?


texts: Does the dojo dissapear when clan owner joins another clan?

texts:
Say that the owner of the clan is the only one active, and has this massive dojo that spent a very long time building it... Suddenly considers joining another clan.

What's gonna happen to its own dojo?

Will it dissapear in thin air?
Does title pass to the next member?
What if there's no other member in it?
What happens with all the resources used in the dojo, especially formas?
