texts: What is the difference between "ef - a fairy tale of the two" and "ef - the first/later tale"?

texts:
I'm looking to get the ef Visual Novel, on VNDB there's apparently 2 different games for the English version, ef - a fairy tale of the two which is marked as a complete while there are 2 partials, ef - the first tale and ef - the latter tale

VNDB calls the game ef - a fairy tale of the two, the screenshots are ef - a fairy tale of the two and in the character profiles it says one of the characters is the protagonist of ef - a fairy tale of the two, however ef - the latter tale was only released last month.

there are Japanese releases of ef - the first/later tale which makes me think that what the English releases are based on but ef - a fairy tale of the two was released in English on Windows the day after the Japanese release of ef - a fairy tale of the two on the PS2 (never on PC)

I know that ef - a fairy tale of the two and ef - the first/later tale aren't too far apart otherwise they would be listed as separate games rather than seperate releases of the same game

so i am wondering, what is the difference between ef - a fairy tale of the two and ef - the first/later tale

texts: What is the origin of the standard color coding scheme for item rarity?

texts:
I recently started playing Hearthstone, and I realized I already knew the correct rarities of different cards without having it explained to me, because I'd seen it before. Stopping to think about it, any time I play a game with items of different tiers of value/power/rarity, I expect them to be color coded as follows:

Gray - junk
White - common
Green - uncommon
Blue - rare
Purple - epic/very rare
Orange - legendary/wicked rare

This pattern, or something very close to it, holds true in games as diverse as Gems of War, SWTOR, Blizzard games (WoW/Hearthstone), Torchlight, Titan Quest, Borderlands, etc.

So what gives? I'm certainly not complaining, because all else being equal, familiar interface design is beneficial. But how did this come to be the standard? What was the first game to use it, and why did it spread?

texts: Move world AND switch single player user

texts:
I have bought a new laptop PC for the family and transferred Minecraft (Java edition, versions 1.13 and 1.14) save files over from other machines, one of which which I used to run as a server for my daughters for us to play together, and where I played using my own Mojang account.

Transferring world data is just a matter of finding the mincraft app data (e.g. %appdata%\.minecraft\saves on a Windows machine), and copying it to matching location on the new machine. I used a USB memory stick for this, and it was very straightforward. The worlds look correct, no missing chunks or other glitches.

The worlds transferred over from places that used my daughters' Mojang accounts work as expected. On these worlds, they use the same accounts now as before, and when they start the games they have all the equipment, experience etc that they had before.

The problem is that when a world has essentially transferred "owner" - the single player or server owner used to be me, but they are logged in as their own account - they start the game with my character's equipment.

Oddly, if I join the game remotely as myself, I also get my old character's equipment, effectively duplicating it, but losing the new owner's stuff somehow.

I would like to set things on the new machine so the players get to continue the games exactly as they were, using their own accounts.

I have found the playerdata folder and looked at the files there, but not quite sure if manipulating them works. I tried a few things and managed to get it working using my Mojang account to host the server on the new machine with my daughter connecting from another machine and seeing the correct equipment etc. So I know the data is still there, but requiring this setup is not what we want - specifically I'd like her to be able to run the game in single player mode on the new machine, and be able to access her character's stuff.

Searches for how to do this on the internet just bring up transferring worlds in the saves folder again. That part is working already though, and I cannot find any advice about switching single player data files around with remote player ones.

I have tried switching the files in playerdata around in all combinations I could think of - using the date/time stamp to guide which file is being loaded in single player. But all of them result in loading the original single player data, not the was-remote-but-now-local player data that we want. I guess there is some other file or setting that needs changing, but I don't know how to find out what it is or how to change it.

texts:
I've been playing some fast-paced, focus-demanding games like Super Hexagon and Size DOES Matter on my Sony Xperia Z1 recently, and I've noticed something that has been bothering me.

Sometimes I get frame rate hiccups, stutters, drops, or whatever you want to name it, while playing these games. This happens most often on the train, on which I suspect it happens due to constant changes in connection types, such as Edge, 3G, 4G and possibly even Wi-Fi, which might then trigger stuff in background processes. (I don't know any of this for sure, it's just pure speculation).

Anyways, this is a really annoying problem, since a single badly timed stutter can ruin what could have been a perfect playthrough.

So here's my question:
What can I do to eliminate, or at least minimize these stutters while playing?

Going into Airplane Mode seems to help alleviate the problem a bit, however, if I want to have my score posted in the leaderboards, e.g. in Size DOES Matter, I need to have an internet connection. What to do..? :-/

texts: How to always keep steam turbines running at maximum performance using nuclear power?

texts:
In version 0.15.0, Steam Turbines were added to the game.  They are significantly more powerful than steam engines (1 steam turbine is equal to ~10.5 steam engines), but I'm finding it difficult to keep them running at 100% power.

To even reach the maximum available performance for steam turbines, you need to use nuclear power and heat exchangers.  The heat exchangers use heat produced by the nuclear reactor to make steam at very high temperatures.  From my observations, the exchangers need to be running at at least 500 °C to produce steam (the maximum is 1000 °C).  Anything lower than 500 °C, and the turbines will not run. I've also noticed two things with nuclear power:

The farther the heat exchanger is from the reactor, the cooler the temperatures will be.
Tampering with the heat pipes will case the temperatures to change temporarily as the heat attempts to catch up.

I'm able to get my turbines running at maximum efficiency when there is enough power on my grid already, but I am expanding my factory, and my expansion is starting to consume too much power.  When this happens, the turbines fail to continue to run at maximum.  They appear to consume their steam faster for some reason, and end up only being able to perform at about 60% their potential.

My setup includes two nuclear reactors that are connected with heat pipes and are always running to produce enough heat.  Right now, the exchangers are in the 600+ °C range so I should have enough heat to be making steam.

How can I always keep them running at maximum power? Better yet, steam turbines can be linked together like steam engines, but doing this almost always ruins the performance of the turbines.  How can I do this as well?


texts: Is it possible to set a custom resolution (window size) in Dark Souls?

texts:
I'm playing Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition and I'm having a bit of an annoyance. I always play my games, if possible, in a custom resolution (in my case 1900 x 1000), so that the game's window almost takes my whole screen, but there is room for its title bar and Windows' taskbar.

I tried to do that in Dark Souls (both in the configuration file in my Documents folder and in DSFix's options), but it had no effect. The window always took my full screen, 1920 x 1080.

Then I tried the option for a borderless full screen window, and that worked rather well (minus the frustration from not seeing my taskbar) until I found that at some point, after a few alt-tabs, the window will soon become unusable, because it'll set itself to be behind everything else, and as a result all you can see of the game is a very small strip through the transparent taskbar.

Now I'm playing in proper full screen, which is free of the borderless window's bug, but then there's the annoyance of having an annoying delay on each alt-tab, not to mention the game's sound is cut when I'm on another window, so if I'm attacked while I was busy elsewhere, I'll never know and will find myself by a bonfire when I come back. Although this last point, I'm not sure it's exclusive to full screen.

So uhm, how can I set my custom resolution and play comfortably, the way I'm used to?

texts: Is drifting analog common problem of PSP? How to fix it?

texts:
I have bought a secondhand PSP (E1004 Street) a few weeks ago. Generally, this handheld works well, but after a few days of casual playing (max 2h per day) I see a little problem - the analog is drifting, mainly to the right, so in some action/platform games it could be deadly - controlled character can fall down from various places.
I had another PSP some years ago and I clearly remember that I had the same problem then. It was PSP Fat 1004 model. I broke it completely when I tried to fix this issue. So I have a question - is it a common problem that analog drifting to any side? How to avoid that? Or maybe I have a lot of bad luck and I just bought a problematic PSP twice?
I also tried to calibrate it by entering to System settings->System Info and rotating analog, but I read somewhere in the web that then should appear the rotating circle, the same as appears when something is loading, but I did not saw it.
I read also about replacing some rubber from under analog to the new one - does anybody did it? Did it help?
EDit: It seems, that in some games it occurs very rarely, in some other it has never happened, but in another, it makes impossible to navigate even in the main menu - caret jumping through all of the options (in practical game characters almost always move in a random direction without touching analog by me).

I did not play Witcher 1+2 and didn't read any of the books, so my reference pool is Witcher 3 only.

When I came to Kaer Morhen I was quite surprised to see that it is in such a bad shape. Most of the peripheral buildings in the surrounding are in ruins and the castle itself is in a state of disrepair. There appear to be only 3 witchers left who still live there and they seem to be no longer interested in training new recruits (in fact, the biography of Lambert mentions that he is the last one who was trained in Kaer Morhen).

What is the story reason why the Witcher caste is in such a decline and in which game/book did this happen? It certainly can not be lack of demand for their services: During his travels Gerald got jumped by customers left and right (or is that a case of gameplay-and-story-segregation and there are in fact less monsters at the time witcher 3 takes place than there used to?).

texts: Skyrim keeps freezing when it is loading an area?

texts:
Whenever I fast travel, go into a cave or enter other areas, the loading takes a long time.

I am playing the game on PS3, so I try to quit the game by using the PS button to get to the menu but it does not load. I also tried turning off the console but then everything freezes.

What should I do?


texts:
Last night I was playing Skyrim, and after I went into Breezehome a message said "Treasure Map III Removed". Sure enough, it was gone. I reloaded, and tried again. Same result.

I can go into any other location, but if I go into my house the same thing always happens.

I figure this is a bug, but is there a trigger?


texts:
The cynabal is notoriously known for being a frigate killer.

I personally favor Interceptors (Ares) and Assault Frigates (Ishkur) for PvP, so once a Cynabal shows up, I am dead. The chance for that ship to show up in low- or nullsec is quite high, therefore I always end up losing my ship very early. Because of that, I want to train into another ship that can prolong my ventures into those dangerous areas.

Which ship class or specific ship which is also capable of solo pvp is the best counter to a cynabal? Of course BC can kill it, but I am looking for the smallest ship size possible to deal with it.

If possible please stick with Gallente or Minmatar Ships in your answer

There are a large number of MJ consuming machines that I wish to have the attached electrical engine only active when the machine needs power.

How do I have an attached electrical engine turn off when not required? So, either a method of turning the engine on when there are items in the attached machine, or having the engine only active when the machine's MJ supply is not full.

My base is using specifically right now, the Forestry Squeezer and Centrifuge, the Liquid Transposer, and a Builcraft Refinery.


texts: Mafia 2 save game won't load because it requires DLC I've never owned (XBox One, Games With Gold)

texts:
Years ago, I purchased Mafia 2 for XBox 360 through Games with Gold. In the last year, I started playing Mafia 2 on my XBox One X which was now playable through backward compatibility. I played off and on for several months.

This week, I attempted to load my save game and was told I couldn't load the save without installing DLC content that I've never owned. The XBox website says that I don't own any Mafia 2 DLC. I don't understand how this could have happened. When I try to load the DLC that the save game error message says that the save game requires, I'm told I need to purchase the DLC. This seems totally wrong. If I ever owned the DLC, why wouldn't the Microsoft Store or XBox Marketplace show it as owned? What can I do?

texts: Can I run multiple copies of Terraria if I bought it on Steam?

texts: I play Terraria a bit with my brother and friends and I am always the one with the server, but sometimes while I am playing it gets a bit boring and I want to play on my own world and character (I do know about that whole duplicating cheat and am not a fan) at the same time. I was able to do this for a while and now I can't. Is there a setting that I accidentally turned on or just an annoying patch?


texts:
Like in many RPG games, in the "POE2: Deadfire" you can build a relationship (either good or bad) between the PC and companions, which is neatly displayed on the characters screen. But to my surprise, companions have a similar screen showing how much they like/dislike another companion.

When I've hired Tekēhu, almost immediately he started annoying Aloth with his irresponsibility and Xoti with his sexist comments. Similarly, I've noticed that there won't be much love between priestess Xoti and antireligious Pallegina.

Do those animosities/friendships affect the game in any way? Is there a way to find who is most likely to like/dislike whom?


texts: Are historic Steam playtime stats available?

texts:
I know that Steam tracks certain stats related to the amount of time I've played games in my library. The stats that I'm aware of are:

Time of my current session
Time spent playing a game over the last two weeks
Time spent playing a game overall (ignoring time before Steam started counting)

What I would like is to be able to access more detailed information. I want to graph things like how often I am playing a game at certain times of day, or on each day of the week. I've got a lot of similar ideas, but all of them basically require knowing exactly when I started and stopped each session - potentially over a very long time.

Does Steam already store this data, or only the information in the list above? If it is, can I query it through an API? I'd assume it would have to be stored on their servers since it's able to be viewed through browsers and the mobile app.

If it isn't queryable through an API, is it possible to track it locally? Is the "current session" counter stored somewhere locally and in a readable format? Could I write a script to scrape it every minute and log the data out? This would allow me to gather the data starting now, at least - it's not the perfect solution but it's something.

I've been trying to make a bomb using commands.

When the player uses the spawn egg I want it to summon like 10-20 invisible armor stands, then use /spreadplayers to spread them above ground and underground at a 10 block radius from the player. Afterwards, TNT is summoned at the armor stands and that makes the explosion. After that the armor stands are killed.

The problem is, I don't know if the /spreadplayers command even works with armor stands.

Alright, so, I've recently started playing Uplink. Perhaps you've heard of it? Little gem of an indie game in which you play a hacker. I'm wondering how I've overlooked this title for so long!

That being said, I've connected to the InterNIC and started adding IP addresses to my list so I could bounce my connection off of as many as my computer can handle to avoid being traced. I'm wondering though, is there such a thing as having too many? Or is it simply "the more the merrier?"


texts: There are several functions in Rocket League that I have no use for. I reconfigured my controller layout quite a lot, and put things I didn't want to use (like the Push-to-Talk button for example) on the left thumbstick click. During the pressure of a match, I often click the thumbstick by mistake and activate a whole host of functions that I don't want. However, I can't find a way to unbind the functions. I would like to have it that certain functions are covered by the keyboard only, and unbound from the controller. Is there a way to do this?


texts: Spawn-proofing the nether-top sheep farm

texts:
I've built a fairly efficient gold farm above the Nether roof. It just requires me to idle near the build limit and the stockpile of gold nuggets (and rotten flesh) accumulates below.

Still, a fairly efficient production of gold nuggets means a couple hours to build up two and a half stacks of gold blocks for a beacon. And I could spend the time more productively than through idling in a closed box.

After sifting through possible small afk farm options to add, with most either requiring water or just not needed (e.g. due to having a superior full auto option in the overworld) I came up with one reasonable option - a sheep (wool) farm.

There's one neat design that keeps the sheep circulating in a closed path over grass blocks using entity cramming, artificial light and spare grass blocks outside sheep-accessible area should keep the grass regrowing. I should be able to have the sheep travel upwards using stairs instead of using bubble elevators. A dispenser with a long timer to replace worn shears, a window in the fences to shear passing sheep through, a hopper to collect the wool (and possibly not picked shears), and this seems like a concept that could work.

Still, one caveat I can foresee is that zombie pigmen may not take well to my attempts at shearing them - and the grass being one of few possible spawning spaces in the area they would definitely spawn given the opportunity. So, first, how can I spawn-proof the grass so that zombie pigmen won't spawn? In particular, so that grass can regrow and sheep can still graze on it? (and baby sheep can spawn when sheep are bred... I'm really in no mood to transport more than 2 sheep through the 1x1 hole in the bedrock.)

Also, what other caveats to look for? For example, spawn-proofing hoppers, droppers, other redstone, or watching out for other blocks being spawnable (stairs, fences?)


texts: How to steal a square on a distant continent to work the Great Barrier Reef?

texts:
Came across the following situation:

Exploring the world by ship, I found the "Great Barrier Reef", 2 hexes off of a different continent.  After some research, it appears the only way to work these tiles is with workers from a city.

Unfortunately, the "Reef" tiles are adjacent to two other civilizations and the "Cape Town" CS. One of the civs is attacking the CS.  The Cape Town tiles seem to be the best location for a city, and Cape Town has asked for assistance against the attacking civ.

Are there any good options other than taking Cape Town?

texts: When should I perform the inclination matching maneuver?

texts:
I'm sending a manned mission to Minmus and, as Minmus' orbit is inclined to Kerbal I need to perform a maneuver to align inclination. From one of Scott Manley's newbie career guide videos I hear that I should do that as early as possible, i.e. at some LKO as it will be more efficient, but its not obvious why and at which exact point on the orbit (Ap, Pe, An, Dn being just a few possible cases). Thus my questions are:

Why should the inclination matching maneuver is most efficient at low altitude?
When I'm in some stable elliptic LKO, at which point of the orbit should I perform that inclination-matching burn?
Going further, as I intend to go into a transfer orbit next, could it be more efficient to combine burns and perform inclination (normal) & transfer (prograde) burns at a single node?

texts: How to vertically take off in VTOL aircraft?

texts:
In Project Reality BF2 there are Harriers and Opsreys and maybe more VTOL aircraft.

How do I properly do a vertical take off with these?

I tried pressing the S key to start hovering and gain some height and then pressing W to generate forward thrust but it takes very long to get the thrust up and reach enough speed for the aircraft to start flying so that I loose a lot of height in this process and often simply crash.

I guess there must be a better way.

texts: Which Tier 3 Runes work best for each of Kennens possible roles in the current meta?


texts: How do Zenyatta and Mercy's damage boosts stack?

texts:
We know that Mercy's damage boost gives +30% of damage, and Zenyatta's orb of discord gives +50%, but what happens if Zenyatta gives the orb of discord debuff to an enemy and Mercy gives damage boost to someone shooting it?

Will that be 50+30=+80%? (the buffs are counted on the bullets/Xor on the enemy and both added)

+30% of 150%=195% of total damage = +95%? (The bullets come with a damage increase of 30% which are applied on someone with a debuff so you get +95%)

+50% of 130%=195 of total damage = +95%? (The bullets come with +30%, do the 130% damage, then the 50% are added so you get +95%)

The differences between the last two options are just about the logistics and not the damage taken (since this is identical).

So the main question is, is that +80% or +95%? The second question isn't really important but still wondering, if it's +95% which boost is the first one?


texts: Do weapon specific perks work while dual striking in Skyrim?

texts:
In Skyrim, if you do a dual strike, where you hit both attack buttons to hit with both weapons simultaneously, do the weapon-specific perks (sword crit, mace ignore armor, axe... something) apply?

There are several combinations of this question I'm wondering about, but I'm guessing they all have the same answer.  For example, does Fighting Stance work when you are dual wielding?  And do Savage Strike and Dual Savagery stack?

texts: How can I hide all these extraneous HUD elements that appear in multiplayer?

texts:
I recently tried TrackMania 2, via the Stadium open beta, and having picked a multiplayer server at random (well, with low ping and space) I was presented with the following screen. The edges of my view crowded with boxes full of data that I have no interest in, visual noise to me, with a sprinkling of player names stuck to every car, that intermittently obstruct my view when driving.

A quick visit to a few other servers gives me similar results, but often with different layouts. While single player is clean. It looks like 'Dedimania' (as can be seen in a header on a box to the left) is a server-side mod of some kind, and I can only assume it is responsible for the mess.

In short: How do I get rid of all the boxes and player names in multiplayer?
Essentially, I want the clean and minimal UI that I get in single player.

texts: How come 4 Warp Gate Rush does not dominate professional play?

texts:
This might be a dumb question; I actually don't own SC2, so what experience I have is playing friends' accounts.  But my friend has been playing on Diamond + Platinum, and so far he seems to be unopposed by 4 warp gate rush.  Which is basically 4 warp gates + proxy pylon within 6 minutes, and sending in 3 zealots 3 stalkers.

Anyone who tries to tech up simply gets destroyed, because he has no units by the time the warp gets there.  Is it because he hasn't been encountering anyone who is actually good?

And what are good counters to this, if I ever end up buying SC2 and playing against him?

I feel like this can't actually be a competitive build, because it doesn't seem to be the win-every-time strategy in professional games.

edit: I guess the more specific question I am asking is, "What are essential/crucial weaknesses in this build? (in general)  In particular, the weaknesses that prevent it from being the end-all build"

texts: How can I find combat sites efficiently in high-sec?

texts:
I'm trying out exploration at the moment and there are some aspects that don't really work well yet. I gave up on low-sec exploration as there were simply too many people that would hunt you down as soon as they noticed someone doing exploration.

The problem in high-sec now is that I simply don't find enough combat sites. I've tried to use the Dotlan maps and filter according to jumps or NPCs killed, but I don't see any pattern that would help me do exploration more efficiently. Even if I explicitly search for quiet systems, odds are that the few people in there are doing exploration, probably because it is a quiet system. Most systems I visit have typically no more than two scannable sites, and if I bother to scan them they're more often wormholes than not. And if I find a site, I often have to compete with another player running the same site.

I can run a DED 4/10 site very quickly in my Ishtar, but at the rate I'm finding them (and the rate they drop anything valuable), I might as well do level 4 missions.

Are there any tricks to high-sec exploration that make it more efficient? How can I find combat sites more efficiently?

texts: Pilot won't wall run, but rather wall hangs

texts:
I'm having an issue with TitanFall2. I'm in campaign mode. It seems for the past bit, my pilot has only been able to wall hang and not wall run. I get my pilot a running start, hit the wall, and it sticks ... stops dead in its tracks. You can hear after a few seconds where there seems to be a "sucking sound", like where the pilot is losing the grip on the wall, then the pilot falls to the floor (or where ever the pilot happens to be hanging over). The only way to get forward momentum is to jump from wall to wall if there are two walls available to bounce back and forth from. The section of the game I'm at (I don't know what to call it) is where you have to phase shift between past and present. I'm in the part of the level where you had to wall run/jump between the two walls as you shifted back and forth. I was unable to wall run, but managed to muscle my way through this part by gaining enough forward distance through jumping. Was a total PITB.

EDIT: I do have it set to auto-sprint, but this has never been an issue.

I've played TF1 and have the mechanics of how to wall run down very well. I've gone in and ensured my key bindings are reset back to standard, to ensure there aren't any issues there. The only thing I can figure which might be happening (but seems illogical) is I've recently received the ability to wall hang in Multi-Player mode. I'm wondering if it's bleeding over? I've done some searching on the Interwebz with very limited success.

texts: Does it matter if the executioner extracts a confession from Aryan La Valette?

texts:
In the La Valette's dungeons in the prologue for The Witcher 2, if you helped Aryan La Valette escape, he will help you flee the dungeon. There are two ways to meet up with him -- the first is by getting the key to open the locked door in the dungeon, dropping down, and interrupting the Executioner's torture session.

Alternatively, if you ignore the back passage you will come upon Aryan La Valette mounting an escape of his own. Presumably, at this point, he has signed the false confession claiming parentage over the late King Foltest's children.

Does it change anything, plot-wise, if you rescue him from the hangman as opposed to discovering him mid-escape?

texts: I'm getting to rank 3 in the Darkmoon covenant. And I heard that each rank after you get the Darkmoon Blade buffs the spell, making it a 1.0, 2.0, etc. So will I lose the buffs that I got from my rank if I kill her/him?


texts:
I played UO several years ago with some friends and it was fun and everything, but it seemed like there was literally almost nothing to do except PvP.  However I was pretty twinked out, I supposed, maybe this is why PvM didn't seem that useful?  Still, I played a considerable amount and found almost no drops of any value and certainly no interesting loot at all.  I think the best thing I found was like gems and reagents from farming dragons.

Is there anything else to it or is that basically it?  (Vanilla UO, not talking about special custom server encounters or anything)

texts:
I'm running Minecraft on the following machine:
Windows 8 x64, 8 GB RAM (4 allocated for Minecraft), i5-2500K @ 4.5Ghz, AMD Radeon R9 290.

I've got about 70 mods including Buildcraft, Thermal Expansion, and some other common technology mods. I haven't had this issue in earlier versions of Minecraft. As for Forge, I'm using 1226 (one of the latest builds).

Now when I play independent of which map and with or without mods, the game is running very patchy. I get an average framerate of 30 with Mods and ~60 without Mods. Though I have at least 30 FPS, the game stutters. This is caused by random lag spikes which occur all 1-10 ticks. Here a screenshot of my lag-o-meter and the profiler:

Like you can see, a lot of irregular spikes and very high tick times. Moreover, in Debug view I get every now and again a message that something is taking too long and "root" or "root.tick" or "root.render" or others took approx. 110ms.

Now as I'm curious I tested the same on a machine that is set up exactly the same but running on an Intel Celeron (2-cores) @ 3.2 GHz and with an Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti.

The game runs perfectly smooth with all mods. The ticks are short and equal and I get an average of 60 FPS with Mods and highest viewing distance. Here take a look, the same world just on the other machine:

You clearly see the difference and the profiler shows that the ratio between Tick and Rendering is exactly the opposite to mine here.

Now does anybody know why this happens to be? I really don't get it. I've tried out all. Various Java parameters people suggested all over the web, tried Java 8, tried different Java versions, played around with the allocated RAM but nothing helped... It just doesn't run smooth and playing so is horrible.

I recently had a problem that randomly the menu's lagged and audio glitches (CPU frozen) occurred in Thief. Since that time I went down with the clock, though a lot of intense burn-ins said it would be stable. Now, these glitches didn't appear anymore, but I can't believe that Minecraft stresses the CPU so much that it's getting unstable... Moreover, I tried Terasology (maximum graphics settings) when the clock was still higher. It ran with a smooth 60 FPS and without issues. I tried it again a few days later and then it lagged the same as Minecraft did, just that Terasology sooner or later crashed with a "somewhat Delay" exception. I guess the same issue — unstable ticks.

All other games work just fine, without any troubles. It looks like it's just with Java games...

texts: What is the Functional Difference between Final Fantasy XII and The Zodiac Age?

texts:
when i played the original Final Fantasy XII (not International with the Zodiac Job System) i remembered that Guests could not be controlled or have their Gambits accessed. this went along side with what Balthier said when Amalia first joined

  Think of her as a Guest. our "Guest" will do as she pleases won't be taking orders from anyone and will leave when she pleases it

And i do recall not being able to issue commands in battle to guests because i never came across their command window when issuing orders.

So this got me thinking, aside from having the Zodiac Job System are there any other functional differences between the original Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age?


texts: Can I secretly kill every guard in a town?

texts:
Is it possible to kill all of the guards in a town?  Ideally, I'd like to do this secretly so the entire town doesn't see my deeds and put a bounty on my head.

Edit:
I was questing in Markarth and was told by a guard to back off and stop being nosy. I didn't and when I went to the Shrine of Talos I was set upon by a bunch of guards.  Now I have a huge bounty and I had to sneak/kill my way out of the city.  Every time I killed a group of guards the bounty was reduced by $1000, but I still have a $30,000 bounty.

I haven't even been through 1/3 of the city yet and know there has to be a lot of quests, so what do I do?  The only solution seems to kill every single guard (and inhabitant).

texts: What are some tactics to fortify villages and their population against outside attack?

I recently discovered my homely village has been ransacked by a marauding horde of zombies. They managed to get inside one of my large apartment houses and wiped out all but two (!) of the village population.

Because the attack was inside a building, my Iron Golems were helpless, rose-wielding bystanders.

As the population is (hopefully, albeit slowly) rebuilt, what more can I do to fortify my village against outside attack?

texts: How can I tell if a teleporter exit was picked up when I'm at the entrance?

texts:
When the other end of an active teleporter is destroyed or picked up by its builder, the end I'm facing will stop glowing and spinning.

If the teleporter is destroyed, it will show up in the kill feed. However, that's fairly easy to miss, more so when my base is being destroyed by a rush (and this doesn't help as much as I had hoped). The end I'm facing will also reset to level 1 if it's upgraded, but if it was level 1 to begin with then that's not going to help much.
If an active teleporter is sapped, sappers will be planted on both ends, so that makes it pretty obvious. However, either end may still be destroyed prematurely leaving the other one intact and sapped.
If the teleporter is picked up, the end I'm facing will not reset to level 1 if it's upgraded. Again, if it's level 1, it's not a very helpful indicator. Note also that buildings cannot be picked up when sapped.

Are there any visual effects or sounds I can pay attention to, in order to tell quickly whether that other end was destroyed or picked up regardless of what level it is?

texts: How does one dodge or survive gate camps without stealth?

texts:
In Eve, gate camps can be one of the biggest dangers in low/null-sec.  A gate camp is where one or more pirates wait around a star-gate trying to catch pilots as they warp away (and also incoming auto-pilots).

Often times they use warp-scramblers and quick targeting systems to try to snare passing pilots, though sometimes they just start firing off fof missiles without bothering to target.

Of course, stealth helps one avoid these problems, but cloaking systems are both expensive and require extensive training, which I'm a little short on at the moment.

A big factor in their ability to catch someone is how quickly it takes a ship to go to warp, but sometimes they are able to catch even fast ships.

What are some strategies for beating base camps without stealth?
Are there ways to detect and avoid base camps without risking one's

texts: Is the capture mechanic in Fire Emblem Fates worthwhile?

texts:
Feel free to tailor your answer to routes but please keep your answers spoiler free. From what I read here: http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Capture#Fates my interpretation is there's not much point to capturing units as they'd be effectively subpar to your named special snowflakes composing your army.

Most captured units are very low grade units, having low growths and often bad starting stats. They also are limited to their starting class set, having no secondary class, and cannot form supports with any allied units.
captured units may have unique enemy skills, such as Inevitable End, when fought and captured. However, upon recruitment, the enemy will lose any of the enemy-exclusive skills on them.

In particular it strikes me that in Birthright it's not worthwhile as you can already grind up your units.

For example can you rip skills off captured units and put them onto your named units? Would this make the capture mechanic worthwhile?

texts: Can the "Learn Spell" spell be used to learn high-level item creation spells?

texts:
I'm playing Warlords Battlecry II.

My hero knows the spell Learn Spell.  When cast, this spell causes the caster to learn a new spell for the rest of the battle, not restricted to the schools of magic they normally have access to.

My plan was to use this spell to teach myself high-level item creation spells (such as Create Artifact or Rune Item), then use those spells to give myself better gear.

However, after many attempts (I turtled on an easy map, then bound Learn Spell to F7 and put a stack of coins on my F7 key for a couple hours), I've only learned the lowest-level item creation spell in the game, Lesser Item.  Despite learning nearly every other spell in the game (including the highest-level spells of several schools), I'm still missing Minor Item, Major Item, Rune Item, and Create Artifact.

Am I just unlucky, or is there a hardcoded exception in Learn Spell to prevent using it to access powerful item creation spells?

texts:
The other day I wanted to play Stellaris for the first time in a while. I went to start it up and it did not open. I clicked play in the launcher and the only thing that happened is next to the version number, a small red triangle appeared. I checked the integrity of the files with Steam and deleted all of the items in the Stellaris documents folder which I had heard fixed this kind of problem. Neither of them worked. I then deleted and reinstalled the game and I was able to get into it and start playing. I made a species and then when I went to start the game, I had to get off for the night.

Today I go to get on and have the same problem, so I do all the other things I did before, and it doesn't work, so I remove the usser_empire_designs file, delete the game and reinstall it and put the file in, but this time it does not fix it.

How can I make it so that I can start and play the game?


texts: Getting to Terramorphous Peak Cult of the Vault symbol?

I've been trying to get to the Cult of the Vault symbol that's "under the platform you drop down from to enter the arena with Terramorphous" (description taken from this question), and have found some videos showing how to get to them if you have a friend in your game. However, I mostly play alone, so the trick shown in the video isn't really an option for me.

I've tried to get Terramorphous or his tentacles to knock me up to the symbol, but haven't had any success so far. Has anyone ever got to the symbol while playing solo, and if so how? Does a reliable method of getting knocked up to the symbol by Terramorphous even exist?

Edit 12/25: I'm playing on the PC, so I also don't have the option of using a guest player in splitscreen to reproduce the trick shown in the video.

texts:
I have equipped Marona with a staff with nothing but healing abilities. after unlocking the Blacksmith i find out her weapon has "Mega Heal" which could come in handy later on.

So far the only why i know of in gaining Mana is to kill enemies as the only other weapon i have is a sword that Ash initially has equipped (but after he has to return i re-confine the original object and my second phantom has the sword equipped) and it's been the only weapon to gain any Mana throughout Episode 1 despite me having brought both weapons at the same time (and both have been in the same number of battles)

So how do i gain Mana for a weapon which has only healing abilities?

texts: How to lock entire line of hoppers from below?

texts:
This is one (out of 15 identical) slice of the supersmelter-like XP farm I'm currently finishing, attached to a massive kelp farm. (the rails are drawn wrong direction; the schematics don't support rails "into/out of the screen")

The currently missing bit is how to automatically lock all the hoppers to collect XP. My current mode of operation is to manually place these redstone torches to lock the hoppers to be able to retrieve an item smelted, collect XP, then knock them out and stash in a chest for next use.

The walkways must remain free as they are (redstone dust or other 'intangible' extras are okay though), as sometimes junk will fall into one feed system or another and needs to be removed and they provide just enough access to the lower part of the furnaces to be able to grab some XP. The area below is completely unoccupied though, and a free game.

How can I toggle a whole line of these bottom hoppers in all the slices with a single lever - power them from below?

When you come to Vlad's help in Part I, Chapter 2, you will meet up with Tommy the Cowboy.

In my past playthroughs this guy always died at least when the final assault took place just before getting to Vlad.

So I was wondering:

Is it possible for Tommy the Cowboy to survive?
If it is possible, is this recognized by the game either by character reaction or bonus?

texts: How to counter Catholic holy orders as a Germanic?

texts:
I am playing Iron Man Jarldom of Sjælland Kingdom of Denmark from the Old God's start. My self-imposed goal is to spread the (reformed) Germanic faith as wide as possible and make it the dominant religion in Europe until the end of the game.

Active DLC:

Old Gods
Sons of Abraham
Sword of Islam
Legacy of Rome
Way of Life

My first attempt failed. I am now in my second attempt. The year is 945 and I am running into the same issues I had in the first. Everything goes well until the early 900s. I reformed the Germanic faith and me and my allies from the Scandinavian region made good territorial gains in England, Germany and Poland. But when the Catholics receive their holy orders, everything changes. Now every little Catholic duke keeps surprising us by conjuring up 4000-9000 soldier armies of heavy cavalry and heavy infantry which tear through our armies like paper. And don't even get me started about that crusade for Pomerania where the pope showed up with his 20k army totally thrashing me, my vassals and my allies.

In my last game I converted to Feudalism which was the start of the end, so I am wary of doing it again. In my current game I am still tribal.

I think I am supposed to have at least one holy order of my own (the Jomsvikings) but for some reason they refuse to spawn even though I think I fulfill the requirements listed on the Paradox wiki Update: 20 years later the Jomvikings finally spawned. Let's see how much of adifference they make.

What can I do to stand a chance against the holy orders and prevent being steamrolled by the Catholic kingdoms in central Europe?
