texts: Is it possible to create and store 2 person Avatar Kinect sessions offline?

texts:
I am trying to understand the requirements and capabilities of Avatar Kinect for local (offline) use. This involves a number of steps:

Is it possible to play with two players locally? (e.g. two people sitting in front of the same console + sensor)
Is it still possible if only one player has an Xbox Live account, and it's a free account? (If not, will it work if both players have a free Xbox Live account.)
Can a video + audio recording of the session be made?
Can the recording be stored locally (and not uploaded anywhere)?

If the answer is simply "Yes", can the recording be copied off the console, and if so in what format?


texts: What does clicking your Mii in My Nintendo do?

texts: When you click your Mii in My Nintendo, the only thing that seems to happen is that is will jump, a orange circle will appear around him and he makes some sort of a squeeze toy sound. Is this the only thing that does happen or can I for example get coins if I click on my Mii for a specific amount of times?

texts: Cannot properly view third person anymore

texts: When I am playing Skyrim, I typically use the third person view.  It is just easier for me to see what is going on.  However, lately when I try to switch to third person, all I get is a zoomed in version with the camera right over my character's right shoulder.  If I draw my weapon, it will zoom out, but zooms back in when I put my weapons away.  I am playing on PS3.  Did I click something by accident?


texts: Why can I only have one Pokemon in the gym battle, and not have 6 in a row?

texts: What are the precise rules for inventory sorting feature in Terraria?

texts:
With the new update a new button has appeared. It says "Sort inventory":

When you click it, items in your items will be reordered and colored, presumably based on what type are they according to the algorithm:

Items marked as favourite will be unaffected. However it's entirely unclear what order applies to items of the same type. I was hoping to sort all my potions by name. That's not what is applied, as you can see here:

So what are the precise rules for sorting items, their colors and order of the items of the same type? This is a new feature, I'm sure other people are also curious how does it work...

Enemy Within introduces the concept of medals -- minor, customizable bonuses that you can bestow upon worthy soldiers from the barracks.

However, such medals are limited quantity - how do you earn more?

I believe that you earn one International Service Medal for every council mission undertaken, but I have no idea about how to earn the "Defender's Medal" that I've already run into. (Perhaps something to do with the rookies dying? I expect a lot of rookies to die. C'est la XCom)

texts:
I've seen a few different mob spawner farm designs around.  Lots of people seem to like this one:

The idea, as far as I understand, is that mobs spawn in the air and fall down through the water suspended by signs.  They then get sucked into the "funnel", pushed over to the water ladder (which they climb by swimming up), then dropped to near-death.

I've seen farms like this in operation in SMP, so I understand the basic principle.  However, I attempted to build one from this schematic, and it doesn't seem to be working.  It seems that the mobs are able to float / swim up on the water blocks below the spawner (above the signs), meaning they never actually fall to the bottom to get sucked up the latter.

As so many people seem to like this design, I'm willing to bet that I made a mistake.  However, looking at the schematic, I see two different places -- the aforementioned water and the water block at the beginning of the "funnel" -- where mobs could get stuck.  How is this farm supposed to work, then?


texts:
I'm playing Minecraft PE v1.1.2 on iOS, and I'm trying to use a map. I'm in creative mode so I can select an empty map or an empty locator map from my inventory and place it in my hot bar.

But when I select the empty map or locator map, the game presents a "Create Map" button. When I tap the button, instead of my character holding a map of my world in its hand, all I see is that my character has dropped an icon on the ground looking like a piece of paper.

All the tutorials online show the character get holding a large sheet of paper which shows a map of all explored regions in the world. But these videos and tutorials are from older versions of the game.

Was this feature removed? Am I doing something wrong?

texts: Link my Pewdiepie's Tuber Simulator account onto my new phone?

texts:
I feel like an idiot asking this question, because many people asked it before, but their solutions aren't helping me.

I got a new phone today, and I want to play my old Pewdiepie's Tuber Simulator account on my new phone. I linked it onto my Game Centre account on my old phone (many times), like people told me to do. I went to download the game on my new phone through icloud and it only gives me the option to start a new game... so I decide to start a new game and go into the friends section to see if i can link my old account through the Game Centre.

Only it doesn't. It just says link my NEW account to my Game Centre, and it gets rid of my old account. So I go back onto my old phone and link that again, and return the to Tuber app on my new phone, but nothing's changed, it's still that new account that I had to make.

I'm very confused and frustrated, especially since I spent hours on that game, and spent forever to get to level 23, set up a bunch of rooms, etc, and my old phone is going to be donated soon.

Does anyone have any idea whats wrong, or what I'm doing wrong?

texts: How to invite friends individually for Dragon City?

texts:
So I've noticed that when I click this button, every single friend is actually checked. What if I don't want to invite everybody to play this game? What if I want to just invite 1 person? Is there an option for that? I don't want to manually uncheck all 300 of my friends.

As you notice in this image, the black censor is the friend's profile icon and the muddy censor is the friend's name. Of course you see every name being checked. Now there are arrows to navigate multiple pages to uncheck.

What if I only want to invite just one person?

texts: Why does this slime block auto-harvester work?

texts:
I stumbled across this design by accident while trying to build a more complicated one. When the bamboo grows, the sticky piston extends, breaks the crop into drops, and the system resets and waits for the bamboo to grow again.

Here are the parts I do understand:

The bamboo growth causes the observer to emit a 1-tick pulse which powers the slime block.
The slime block doesn't power the piston directly because pistons don't accept power from their head (I think?).
The repeater transfers the pulse to the cobblestone, delaying it by 2 ticks and simultaneously extending it to 2 ticks long.
The 2-tick pulse travels through the cobblestone and wire to the sticky piston.
The sticky piston extends for 2 ticks. The obsidian and repeater are unaffected by the adjacent slime block as neither can be pulled by a sticky piston. The observer pushes the bamboo and breaks it.
The pulse from the repeater expires and the sticky piston retracts.
Since it was extended for more than 1 tick, the slime block and observer are successfully pulled back with it.

What I **don't ** understand:

Why doesn't the observer pulse again after being retracted?
If the repeater is set to more than 2 ticks, then the observer does pulse again after being retracted. Why does that happen? Why is 2 ticks the magic number for resetting the system?


texts: Pile of Bones - What are they? Where come from?

texts:
I've seen on some forums people saying the bones you find on the middle of the dungeon are/were actual players. But I don't even play with internet on and still find bones (and some very bad geared).

So what are they? Random stuff or people like those souls in Demon Souls?
Looks a lot more like random generated, there are some wizards with no spells at all, so weird.

Also I've read somewhere I don't remember to take care because hacked bones could corrupt my save file. Hacked? Eh? PSVita can't be hacked yet (just the PSP emulator inside) so is there any truth in that?

texts: Playstation Now - Is there any way to use my PSN wallet only, instead of having to add a credit card info?

texts: Simply put, I live outside of North America so I've always been purchasing PSN cards to fund my NA account wallet and buy NA games. However, when I want to try out the seemingly excellent Playstation Now service to play PS3 games on my PS4, they demand a credit card info to start "free trial", even when I still have remaining money in my wallet and don't really want this free trial whatsoever. Is there no way to get around this? I've heard that virtual cards like Entropy don't work any more. Somebody said that applying an American Express card even if you're not in the US might work, but I doubt it. Do AMEX cards not have regions and street addresses etc.? This seems quite insane and frustrating. PS Now is not available in my region and I'm not sure it'll be available any time soon.


texts: Portable minecraft usb with New minecraft launcher not working

texts:
I have portable minecraft installed on a USB drive. I followed these steps:

http://www.howtogeek.com/215082/how-to-play-minecraft-from-a-flash-drive-for-block-building-fun-anywhere/

It worked just fine with and without mods. The new launcher just came out and it doesn't find the data from the USB. It finds the data from the PC I run it on which also has minecraft installed.

How can I fix this so it really is portable again?

If I can make it use only the 'old' launcher that would be even better.

PS: If you can think of any more tags for this post that would be great! I can't find any launcher or portable tags. :P

This question has an answer that suggests endermen can't spawn on slabs, so if I cover the whole floor with slabs, I should be fine.

texts: Do I need to hunt sustainably in Dawn of Man?

texts:
In real life, if you over-harvest a species, you decrease its rate of regeneration, or even drive it towards extinction.  So, for sustainable harvesting, you must limit the numbers you harvest.  Similarly, when you want a wild population to be sustainable, you will harvest more males than females, since females are more critical to generating the next generation than are males.
When my villagers harvests wild animals in Dawn of Man, does the rate of harvesting, or the ratio of males to females harvested, affect the regeneration of the species?  Do my villagers need to practice sustainable hunting, or can they just harvest whatever they want without causing the species to crash?

The Witch Doctor "Hex" skill as a rune "Angry Chicken" where I can temporarily transform my corporeal form into that of a deadly exploding chicken.  Fun, right?

However, I can't seem to figure out how to make my chicken explode.  He just sort of stands there, or flaps about.  Clicking on things doesn't seem to make anything interesting happen - not even a tentative peck.  I thought maybe I exploded when the time ran out, but I just sort of poofed back into my normal form instead.  The tooltips for the skill and rune are no help.

How can I unleash my mighty chicken wrath upon my enemies?

texts:
I'm a fairly low level North American Counter Strike: Global Offensive player. I'm looking to get better and want to join an amateur team to perhaps play brackets and that sort of thing in.

I'm therefore looking at ESEA and/or ESL. ESL seems to lean towards the European crowd (but they do have a NA subsidiary) so I've set them aside (and mention it only for completeness).

Anyway, I'm leaning towards ESEA as they seem more suited to an NA player. My question is as a low level player, is using this service worth my time and money at this point?

Is there a balancing system (whether like match making or not)? And am I likely to find games as a Solo player (I'm hoping to find a team to join while playing).

Update: I posted my first-hand experience with ESEA as an answer; my conclusion is there too.

texts: How can I detect the presence of flowing lava?

texts:
In vanilla and updated (1.11 as of now) Minecraft I would like to detect the presence of flowing lava in a block (or area for that matter) and output a corresponding redstone signal. Basically what I want to do is close a door whenever lava is behind it and leave it open when there is no lava. I can work with the actual lava block being not necessarily the one next to the door (as the redstone should be hidden anyway), since it is coming in flowing from above and I can split and reroute it a little.

So the first thing I thought about was the observer block. I wanted to place an observer block next to a lava flow channel (or its end for that matter) and route the pulse into a simple T-flip-flop which would thus toggle whenever the presence of flowing lava behind the observer changes.

This idea seems to work fine when the lava arrives, as soon as the lava flow reaches the observer, it pulses once. However, for the leaving lava it doesn't seem to work, since whenever a lava flow block anywhere in the continuous stream changes its state (i.e. retracts) the observer pulses, which messes up the T-flip-flop.

Is there any way to make this work, either with the observer block or any other way? I would like to keep this as simple as possible since I don't want to invest too much into what ends up to be a little gimmick and I'd also try to stay away from unreliable detection means or mods to my Minecraft.

My brother and I both own a copy of Victor Vran for the PS4. Usually we play separately of each other, but every now and then we like to play together (on one screen).

Is it possible to start a local coop game using a second PSN account for player 2?


texts: My Nether Portal keeps spawning a new one when i go back from the Nether

texts:
So, I'm on my friends Realm and we're trying to make a Nether hub, which we did in a previous Realm about a year ago (hers expired and didn't get a new one).
She built up a portal that's 5 across, and 6 up and lighted it. She jumped through and then came back, so she could start getting coordinates of my portal so she could make one in the Nether that would make you go directly from there to my portal in the Overworld. Now, here's the problem: She came out of the portal, and ended up in a new place. I went through my own portal, then back, and ended up coming out of the same portal she went through coming back. She had to go, so I destroyed the portal that we kept coming out of. Then, I went through the big portal she made and then back, and it spawned another portal again. Both portals are close to the big portal she made, but we're still confused on why it keeps spawning new portals and not letting us come back through the one we already made.


texts: Mass Effect 2 savegame - Can I see which decisions I made?

texts:
Before playing ME3 I'm going through ME2 again. I'm playing as renegade Shepard since I already have a ME2 savegame with a paragon playthrough. Now, on Legion's loyalty mission, I have to decide if I want to rewrite or destroy the heretics. Problem is, I'm not sure what option I chose as paragon and as renegade I want make the opposite choice (just to see how that affects me in ME3).

Long story short, is there a way to determine which decision I made during my old playthrough? I tried a modified version of Gibbed's save editor but can't see anything related to Geth/heretics (only if the crew survived, if the Colletor base was destroyed etc.).


texts: Why is Tangela immune to hypnosis in Pokémon Stadium?

texts:
In the battle against Surge (round 2), my rental Gengar used Hypnosis 20 times against Tangela, and they all failed. I did not know that certain types of Pokémon were immune to Hypnosis, however, I am assuming this must be the case. I believe Hypnosis normally has a 60% accuracy, so the odds that all 20 times would fail would be 0.0000001%, and so I do not believe that was what happened.

Tangela did not have any status ailment (no paralysis, etc), was not confused or anything like that.

Why is Tangela immune?

By the way, the reason the Tangela could not take out the Gengar was because all its moves were normal type (thus not working on ghost), except for Mega Drain, which only had 5 PP and was not very effective.

texts: Can Minecraft version 1.12 be run under Ubuntu 20.04?

texts:
And if so, how? Or what versions of Java/launcher, do I need?
I'm running

Ubuntu 20.04
OpenJDK 11
Launcher 2.1.15852
LWJGL Version: 2.9.4
Minecraft 1.13.2.jar - works
Minecraft 1.12.2.jar - crashes

The Launcher screen does indicate that there's a "new version of the launcher", but the notes give no indication of what it does or what version it is.
The logs show:

Skipping bad option: lastServer:
Skipping bad option: key_key.pickItem:key.mouse.middle
...

This question, Preferred Version?, seems to indicate there is a bundled version of Java with the installation. Is this different from the OpenJDK that I see, on the command line? Is that what the "launcher update does"? And if so, how would I see what version of internal-Java is currently running?
The docs at Minecraft Tutorials seems to indicate that 1.12 should run, so I'm hoping that's correct.


texts: I am making a huge zombie siege map with tons of redstone. Just recently, I tried to make a comparator clock to activate a command block.

I don't know if I have too much redstone in the world or what, but I can't continue anything until I can get this fixed. I have tried every clock there is, and they all run super slow. Is there any way to have the clock go as fast as it used to? (I am on Minecraft 1.8.8 and Minecraft snapshot 1.9, if that matters)


texts: Sims 3: How can you maximize profits from fish?

texts:
A detailed query for the statistically inclined!

If one of your household Sims is an Angler, how can you maximize profit from the fish?

I noticed at least 4 different ways fish can be sold, and I'm wondering whether cooking Angelfish, for example, can get profit somehow? [Question 1] Can a good cook sell Perfect cooked meals at the consignment store or grocery store or some other way?

It seems that the least profitable way to sell is the inventory selling of the "drag here to sell" functionality (method 1); but I'm wondering, [Question 2] what is more profitable: selling the fish raw at the consignment store (method 2), sending the fish first to get mounted then selling the mounted fish at the consignment store (method 3), or selling the fish raw at the grocery store (method 4), which seems that it could be the most profitable method, but that's a personal and not statistical impression?

I would be most impressed and grateful if you supplement your answer with [Question 3] information that takes into account the weight, type (Salmon, Shark, etc.) and quality (Excellent, Perfect, etc.) of the fish. For example, is the price of the mounted fish sold at the consignment store affected only by the weight of the fish regardless to quality, or does quality affect the price there too? Would a mounted heavy Perfect shark sell for more at the consignment store or sell for more if it is sold raw at the grocery store? Should I sell traditionally eaten fish, like Salmon, at the grocery store, and traditionally prized fish like trophy mounted sharks at the consigment store; or does the game not really go that deep and meaningful when it comes to numbers and profit?

Thank you.


texts: How can I fix this FPS drop following the 15/3/2017 CS:GO patch?

texts:
I've been running Counter Strike: Global Offensive on my laptop (NVIDIA GeForce 840M 2GB and an Intel processor) at 150fps, however after the 15/3/2017 update I'm suddenly experiencing only 30fps. Worse, whenever I see an enemy and shoot it drops to 15fps.

I haven't made any changes to my PC prior to the CS:GO update on 15/3/17 which is why I think it's the culprit. I've tried reinstalling everything: Steam, CS:GO, Nvidia drivers and changed a lot of settings. I also made sure to pick the Nvidia card for the game.

Sometimes my FPS goes back to 150 but whenever I open a menu it drops back to 30 or it goes back down to 30 in a couple of minutes. Is there any way to fix this? It's making MM unplayable!


texts: What effect does the crew size have in the game?

texts:
There are three stats that are shown in the UI, sail life, hull life, and crew.

Sail life and hull life seem pretty self explanatory, but what does the crew do? Is it just another "life" stat that I need to keep at a non-zero amount to be "alive?"
I haven't seen an explanation in the game yet that would hint at what it could mean. It would make sense that if you have no more crew, you're effectively "dead." Certain weapons could target the crew more effectively. You could "equip" different crew to increase your capacity, but still don't know what the effects are.

Do we get bonuses for having a more full crew? (e.g., like firing and reloading cannons more quickly) Are you debuffed when you have less crew? Does killing off an enemy crew allow you to take the ship for yourself?

texts: How do I properly spec as a Balance druid?

texts:
I'm not new in the World of Warcraft World, but currently I'm trying a new class, a Druid (Level 79 as of yesterday).

I'm leveling as a Tank, but I'm looking for a DPS off-spec. I don't like the idea of  melee DPS since I have a Warrior and a Death Knight, so I was thinking about speccing as a Balance druid. With all the changes and the "Moon Circle" rotation, I have no clue on how to gear/spec it. I haven't found something useful by browsing forums, so any suggestions regarding the construction of a decent Level 85 Balance druid spec would be awesome.

An extra note: Getting gear is not a problem, as I'm planning on leveling and running heroics as a bear until I get a set for the bird to raid with. :)


texts: Minecraft Starts Lagging After Playing For A While

texts:
For reference, here are the specs of my PC:

Ryzen 5 2400G
RX580 (4GB variant)
8GB of 2666MHz RAM (single channel)
HDD

This issue occurs with the vanilla launcher.
I'll be upgrading the RAM and hard drive (to an SSD) come Christmas, but I don't believe they're the issue.
Normally, I get around 200-300 FPS when playing the game normally. After playing for a while, for seemingly no reason, the frame rate drops to 20-40 FPS and stays there. The only fix that I've found is to restart the entire PC (which takes forever, since... hard drive :( ).
The memory doesn't seem to be the issue, which was my first thought, but I still have 1-2 GB free when the issue occurs. My GPU sits at around 30-50% utilization, and the CPU core that's running the game seems to sit at around 70-80%. Disk stays at 0% unless something is loading in the background.
GPU and CPU temps are fine, they sit in the 50-60 degree range (Celsius).
Anyone know what the issue might be?


texts: How to achieve large horizontal aerial propulsion with Marth/Lucina's Shieldbreaker?

texts: I've been playing Smash 4 quite a bit lately, and have seen online that some players are able to use Marth/Lucina's Shieldbreaker to propel them a substantial distance horizontally while in the air. Checking smashboards and the wiki confirms that Shieldbreaker was buffed to have a small amount of horizontal propulsion. My own experimentation that simply using shieldbreaker in the air produces a small amount of horizontal propulsion, however nowhere near the levels I've seen online. Does anyone know how to do this? I tried inputting a direction after starting shieldbreaker, much like Dedede's gordos require, but it didn't seem to do anything.

texts: Can I share games between two PS4 systems with the new Family account?

texts:
The PS4 5.00 software update adds family accounts, replacing sub accounts.
On my iPhone, the family account means I can share apps with my family - I buy the apps, they can download for free.
I recently bought a PS4 pro, it's in the living room, and the kids got the old PS4 box.
Currently, my "primary account" is on the kids box, otherwise they can't play anything using their account, right now - they can't play in the living room, because it only works if I'm signed in (and there's no way I'm letting them ruin my saves).
Does this new update offer any remedy?
Has anything changed with the new family account addition or is it just a simple expansion of the former "sub accounts" method?
I know how the old method works (or doesn't work, to be more precise), I'm asking if anything's changed with it.
Not even talking about the plus account, the kids are too little to be playing online anyway (I have a plus account, if it makes any difference).

texts: How can I make persistent variables in WorldEdit CraftScripting?

texts:
When experimenting in Minecraft I usually create a large flat area to work on using WorldEdit.

However, this usually results in a crash or big freeze.

I'm going to make a script that can take a large clear-out job and split it into lots of smaller ones and give the game time to recover. It doesn't look too hard to make this, but if I have to re-type the command and the arguments each time its going to be a hassle.

I need a variable that can persist past the execution of the script so I can do a "/next" type thing to go to the next job.

I've had a look through the api reference, but I can't see anything regarding preferences or settings or something I can use.


texts: What are the new 2014 Festive Weapons? I can't seem to find any other information out there on the internet


texts: How do I change projectile (nail, rocket, etc) speed?

texts:
I'm playing Quake 1 in single-player mode with QuakeSpasm 0.85.7 engine.

I want to limit the speed of projectiles, like thrown grenade, launched rocket of rocket launcher and fired nail of nailgun/supernailgun, or any other custom projectile of custom weapons.

I tried changing sv_maxvelocity <#>, but it overrides sv_maxspeed <#> and so affects the speed of my character when I set small values to it. Also, the projectiles spread to sides too much for small speed values.

Is it possible to limit the projectile speed without also limiting the player speed?

I have a new Xbox One S console (HDMI connection) and faint vertical lines appear on the black color:

The image is only for demonstration purposes as the colors are completely off, I had to take a picture of the screen using a camera because the artifacts don't appear in screenshots. I believe that only "pure black" (RGB 0) is affected as I haven't seen artifacts on other colors.

This is unlikely to be an issue with the monitor as I also use this screen with my computer (DVI connection) and blacks are displayed absolutely correctly.


texts: Why is the first map load slower than the others?

texts:
Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure.

Whenever I start up a Source engine map, whether it'd be a private or public server, the first map load (Receiving Server info --> Sending Client info) takes much much longer than it takes if I were to disconnect immediately after, and rejoin the same server.

I don't believe it's my computer set-up, as I have had the same issue on slower computers and faster computers.

Better put, what exactly is the Source Engine doing on the first server join/map load?    I'm just curious why the first map load is significantly slower than subsequent loads?

texts: Setting up razer tartarus for a World of Warcraft warlock

texts:
Used a G13 for many years.  It was the best -- the most buttons on the finger tips and two easily accessible modifier buttons.
The G13 finally broke beyond repair, and so I'm transitioning to the Razer Tartarus.  I've managed to solve most of the keybinding issues, but I'm really struggling to put the tab in a place that's natural.
The Razer Tartarus looks like this.  Key 06 is bound to <tab>, key 11 is bound to <alt>, and the thumb button is bound to <ctrl>.

And here's what my keybindings look like.  Key 01 is bound to auto-run, but the rest are pretty well-explained by the picture.

The problem is that tab targeting is very awkward.  Anyone who plays a dot class knows that you spend a lot of time tab targeting.  However, when I move my pinky up to hit tab, I find that my ring, middle, and pointer finger tend to creep up too.  This makes it difficult to make sure those three hit the intended buttons when it comes time.
Thoughts I've had are as follows:

Bind  and + to buttons on the mouse and use that.  While I've got tons of buttons, I find the mouse awkward.  So, I'm trying to avoid it.
Move all of the instant cast/multi-target dots to the 2nd row (counting from the top), and move all of the single-target dots/nukes to the third row.  At least then, when I'm in "dot it all" mode, everything I need is on the same row, lessening finger confusion.

Anyone have other ideas?  Stackexchange seems to be one of the best places to document approaches like this.  At least, it's way better than writing a random blog post that no one would ever be able to use as a reference.
W.r.t. the potential for "too subjective" moderation closures:  I would argue that there is a "best and most optimal" way to set this all up.  E.g. one person might have smaller hands, but having a closer reach to something is also good for someone with larger hands.  Another useful illustration is that a rogue might prefer to not use vanish in combat, so it wouldn't need to be on their button/combo that's most easily pressed.  However, the best rogues in the world would use vanish in combat, and so they would want it easily accessed.  This question seeks the answer for this min/maxed scenario.  Of course the min/max will change as abilities get tuned, but that's a traditional problem that we already deal with.  People will have different approaches, but the point is that these questions do actually have an optimal solution (or, at least, just handful of them).


texts: Minimal group of Pokémon for the complete exploration moves set

texts:
I own Pokémon Omega Ruby, not Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and I'm only starting it.

I'd like a team for exploration, catching and finishing the story.

I have my catcher, I'm building my hitters but I miss my explorers yet.

So my question is what is the smallest group possible of Pokémon I could use so that I can teach them all the story-needed moves? By that, I mean moves like Cut, Rock Smash, Surf, Fly, etc. Actually all moves that have a real impact to access all parts of the story and that must be used again and again.

Edit:

For clarity, I expect that the list doesn't contain any pokémon described as "unobtainable" in ORAS. See http://www.serebii.net/omegarubyalphasapphire/unobtainable.shtml for the complete list of Pokémon that are not allowed.


texts: How does STAB work exactly, and how does it interact with the Technician ability?

texts:
A Pokemon which has the Technitian ability gets x1.5 boosted attack power for all moves used which have an attack power of 60 or less (so a move with 60 attack power will actually have 90 attack power).
STAB (Same type attack bonus) gives a 50% boost to damage, assuming the attack has the same type as the Pokemon using it (so a Grass Pokemon using Razor Leaf will do 1.5 times the damage). However, I have seen contradicting information, so currently I do not know whether STAB boosts the actual damage or the move's attack power.

What I would like to know, first, is the precise manner in which a STAB is applied to an attack.
Secondly, I would like to know what happens if an attack which would be affected by the Technician ability is also affected by STAB (though this answer might vary depending on the actual way that STABs work).

For example, my Scyther has the Technitian ability and attacks using the "Wing Attack" attack, which is a Flying-type attack with 60 attack power. Since Scyther is a Bug/Flying type pokemon he should also get a STAB for this attack, so just what is the eventual attack power/damage in this case?

(Please answer for 4th generation mechanics)

Does this mean my mobspawner trap is never going to drop anything but rotten flesh? Or do I need to leave it longer?


texts: Do World customizations affect the seed?

texts:
In Minecraft, you can build a world using a World Seed. Using this seed, you ca recreate this world over and over again.

However, there are things that affect this. For example, using a seed from an earlier version of Minecraft (e.g., prior to biome additions like mesa and savannah), the seed will generate a different world.

Is this the same for a "customised" world? I recently created a world in where I ramped up the dungeon spawn rate to max. If I recreated the world using the world seed, but with less dungeons, will the world be the same?

What can affect the world generation using a world seed in the customisation options?


texts:
Playing Skyrim, trying to get married to Borgahk the Steel Heart and, upon waiting for the wedding to happen in the Temple of Mara the guests start fighting.

Everyone in the temple will attack her until she is downed then resume attacking when she stands back up. Is there some way to fix this?

Edit: Not Mjoll, thought it was but it's actually a Bandit Chief with very similar model and the same face-paint. Killing the bandit does end the cycle of fighting and waiting but I am continually told to leave the temple, and find myself unable to.

texts: How to distinguish trees created by the "scatter" from trees that are scannable?

texts:
I recently got a Breaking Grounds expansion. One of the features it introduced was terrain features. Problem is, that the graphics option "scatter" also introduces terrain features — but they are only eye candy.

So the first example are trees. You can scan Breaking Grounds trees, you even get a contract to do it. But you can't interact with the most of trees as they are only there to look pretty.

Is there a way to distinguish terrain features you can interact with from the ones that are there only for the looks, without turning the later off in the settings? Preferably from a very large distance, because rovers are quite slow. Also, method that works during the night would be preferable so I hope shadows are not the difference, or not the main one, at least.

texts: Is it more beneficial to just kill everyone?

texts:
In Fallout Shelter, there is a regular quest called the "Game Show", where you travel through a dwelling populated with Bandits asking you trivia about Fallout 3 and 4.

If you get a question right, you get a prize (caps). If you get it wrong, they attack you (with terrible puns as well as weapons), and when you kill them all, you get to loot their bodies (for caps and other random gear). The final prize is a Lunchbox, which you get regardless. (You can loot it from a cupboard once you have finished the quiz).

So, in terms of reward, is it better to try and get all the answers right, or just kill everybody?


texts: How do I get access to edit a config file in a WindowsApps Folder?

texts:
I have a Windows 10 machine and a version of Ark I installed from the Windows Store. There is a certain Dino that shall remain nameless that I just don't want in my game anymore but I cannot edit the game.ini file.

I have taken ownership of the folder and its contents, I have explicitly added the local admin to the folder and it's contents and I still cannot edit the file.

I do not have a copy of the default file so I have not tried using a recovery console and powershell to overwrite the file but if someone can tell me where to get the default .ini file then I will certainly give this a shot. I did try making a copy of the file to my documents folder but windows told me that I needed the permission of the user I was already logged in as to copy the file.

I am running 1909 build 18363.657.

Let me know if you can help me out.

Update 20200215:
Attempting to open any ini file with either Notepad or Notepad++ running with elevated privileges results in "You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the file owner or an administrator to obtain permission."

texts: What are the cues that enemies are going to attack you in Plus Mode?

texts:
I got tempted to attempt 100% completion on Arkham City, and, wow, not having the little squiggly lines coming off enemies when they're about to attack makes the game really, really hard. I'm up to the point of the Penguin mini-boss fight, and there's just no way for me to get through it. I can't even survive half-way through the first round.

Now, I realize that trends in gaming are such that harder and more-clever is all the rage, but this is just what I feared when I started this playthrough: hitting a point that's so hard that it simply stops me from playing the game any more. I'm trusting this isn't what the designers intended, and assuming that I'm just missing something about the mechanics of the game.

Is there some way to offset not having those indicators? Are there little cues that can tell me that someone's about to take a swing that I'm missing? I can tell sometimes by the way they "step up", but in a big crowd of people, it's easy to miss one doing this. Plus, the people wielding a weapon typically don't do this.

I can't seem to find ANY video of this fight on YouTube, which makes me wonder if it's even humanly possible to finish (without cheating).


texts: Are there portals that do not appear on the intel map?

texts:
The Intel Map displays portals in the Ingress game.  Are there undiscovered portals that do not appear in this map?

I know that new portals are added from time to time.  What I want to know is if there are existing portals that I can find by exploring with the game running.

Edit 2013-01-15: I am aware that it is necessary to zoom way in on the Intel map to see low-level and unclaimed portals.  I am specifically wondering if there are portals that do not appear on the map at any zoom level because they have never been visited/discovered.

I ask because the portals on the Intel Map have notes like, "Discovery: Khayman 01/14/2013".  Are these the names of players who have discovered previously hidden portals - or are these the players who submitted geotagged pictures to get portals added?  I am skeptical of the latter possibility because some of the portals in questions are post offices and libraries and do not have pictures.


texts: Tekkit on Mac not starting up - White Screen

Recently there was an update for mac (just a regular system update, i thought nothing of it) and immediately after the update, when i try and launch the Technic launcher and run tekkit, it lets me log in fine, but after that a white screen flashes up and the entire program crashes. No errors, no nothing, just flash of white and back to desktop.

Does anyone know of a fix for this?


texts: Elder Scrolls lore - Godhead in existing dream possible? Recursive dreaming?

texts:
As far as I understand correctly, the whole of the Elder Scrolls universe is a dream by the Godhead that reached Amaranth.

Some people inside this universe achieved CHIM. Realizing they are part of a dream, part of one single entitity but loving themselves enough to stay a separate entity, thus being sorta like a lucid dreamer and able to shape reality/the dream.

But you are also able to achieve Amaranth which is sacrificing oneself to create a new dream, so being the dream and dreaming the dream, aka losing all powers as you are no longer knowing that you dream.

One thing I could not find an answer for is the fact that if someone achieves Amaranth inside the dream, does he create a dream inside the dream he is currently in, aka a recursive dream? Or is the dream he creates/he is, separate from the dream the new Amaranth is/was part of?

texts: How can I specify only NBT in the /clear command, not an item?

texts:
Story
A unique quirk about the /clear command is that it can clear items from the player's cursor, i.e. the one that is picked up and moving from slot to slot. Using this and conditional command blocks, I can detect when someone clicks on an item slot to pick it up. This is useful when I want to prevent a user from removing items from the chest.
A method that I used to detect this is shown here.
Problem
method doesn't work if the chest's contents are constantly changing. So I had this idea, to give each item a custom NBT tag like LockedInChest:1b and use my earlier method to detect if items with this tag were removed.
Now I've run into a roadblock. It was all smooth sailing until I realized that you can't specify NBT in the /clear command without specifying an item. For example, I can match "stone with my NBT tag", or "stone with any NBT tag", but I can't mention "any item with my NBT tag".
Core question
How can I specify NBT only in the /clear command, and have it work for any item?
Past trials (all failures)
What if I could just remove the item name and keep the NBT?
/clear @s minecraft:stone{NBT}

↓
/clear @s {NBT}

Can I just specify the namespace? minecraft:
/clear @s minecraft:stone{NBT}

↓
/clear @s minecraft:{NBT}

and
/clear @s minecraft{NBT}

Is there a keyword for any item?
/clear @s minecraft:stone{NBT}

↓
/clear @s minecraft:any{NBT}

and
/clear @s minecraft:all{NBT}

texts: In Nethack3.4.3, can an altar be wished for?

texts: I've been playing 343 for a while, even read the wiki as best I can, but can't find an answer to this.  I have an Elven Priest that has been to Sokoban (BoH) and found the quest portal but still haven't found an altar.  I have 7 cursed scrolls of create monster that should help me level up for the quest, but I'd hate to waste all the potential sacrifices.  I have 2 blessed magic lamps, and a bones pile has supplied SDSM, MR cloak, Macicbane, and Stormbringer.  Being a priest I'd like to unrestrict at least one of the weapons...Short of running all the way to minetown, I'd like to wish for an altar near the Quest portal. Is such a thing possible or would it just waste a wish?

texts: How do you put an enchanted item or an enchanted potion in an item frame with a command block?

texts:
I'm making a map for fighting and I made classes to choose from. I condensed it so all you have to do is press a button to scroll through the classes. Once the button is pressed all the command blocks are cloned and replaced to change the specific items in each class. Above the 4 buttons are picture frames with a simple item that compares to the class, like a bow for an archer, sword for warrior and so on. I tried to put a potion in the frame but only got a bottle of water. I tried /summon but the frame and items would pop out when replaced. Lastly, I found this but I don't know where to put the ench tag or how to format it, also don't know how to do the xyz, when I did, it changed every single frame in my world, terrible :(

So my questions are:
How do you put enchanted items/potions in an item frame, to a certain coordinate with command block and have them replace?

I'm guessing it should look something like this, and I have no idea where the xyz coordinates go.

/entitydata @e[type=ItemFrame] {Item:{id:minecraft:'item'}}

/entitydata @e[type=ItemFrame] {ench:[{id:minecraft:'enchanted item/potion'}]}

I've just bought Age of Empires II: HD, and have been running through the tutorial missions to re-skill up (it's been a while since I played the original).

texts: Is there a way to control the gender of your child?

texts:
In Rune Factory 2 i have been reading in GameFAQ FAQs/Guides that there are 2 generations in it and that in the second generation you play as your child. looking over the guides there seems to be a list of Bachelorettes and Bachelors implying your child can be a boy or girl.

in This Guide it says

  Q: Why can I marry the twins as Aria?

  A: The two girls don't seem to care for gender, so ..
      You can do requests for either gendered kid, until the lovelevel reaches
      a higher number. Then it can only be done by Aaron (Ars) or Aria.

and this guide says when describer them

  Sera & Serena are Ray's twin daughters. Even though what they like can be
  different, they have a very good relationship and are always together. They
  share everything - and that includes you.

the prospect of being able to be a girl in the game and marrying another girl greatly appeals to me and thus i now have my personal marriage goal in the game. the problem is that i can't seem to find any information on exactly how the child of the first generation is decided.

So i am wondering, is there a way to control which gender of child you get or is it random? if random when should i save so i can reload if my child is a boy?

texts: Does the quality of white items give different craft results?

texts:
Some of the new crafting recipes for legendary or set items require regular white items in order to craft them.

I've been saving superior or masterwork white items for eventual use in these crafts.  But it occurs to me that I have no idea if these are even worth keeping for this use.  On one hand, they're pretty rare to find, and that limits how many I can craft.  On the other, if they actually do provide better quality crafts, there's an advantage in using them.  But if they don't, I've been passing by lots of white items for no reason at all.

Does this level of quality for white items play any part at all in these crafts?

texts: Any way to ignore system messages in the chat screen?

texts:
I'm a preffered status in the game and because of that my cash limit is 350 000$ (or whatever they use in the game, honestly dont know).

Because of this, every time i get cash when i am capped, the money goes into my escrow and i get a red message that tells me "xxxx$ has been moved into your escrow".

This makes an annoying sound, like when someone logs in on your friends list, this also puts a red message on every chat window.
Its annoying because during flashpoints, ppl pick up cash and thus i get the messages and it makes the chat go "up" to fast and i miss comments sometimes by teammates.

Is there any way to turn this off?
I have already tried making a chat tab with no channels selected and i still get this message.

texts: What are the different items rarity colors, and what do they worth at the PNJ's?

texts:
So far, I've found a bunch of grey, two blue and two yellow/gold items.  This page talks about 4 levels of rarity: normal, magic, rare and unique.  But there are no information about the colors.  My guess:

grey = normal,
blue = magic,
gold = rare,
???? = unique

Also, I couldn't find a "pattern" of increasing currency while selling items to the PNJ's.  For example, I sold a normal bow, the PNJ gave me two pieces of scroll (wisdom).  Then I sold a magic bow and received...  two pieces of scroll (wisdom).  Maybe the magic bow was a really weak one ?

The problem I am having is that I can see the Capcom logo, the Nvidia Logo and even the intro video. But as soon as I reach the main Menu I can hear the announcer scream the game's title but the screen is pitch black. If I do not touch anything then the demo of two random fighters is played and I can see everything. The game runs perfectly fine. But if i press start to acces the main menu again then everything goes back to black. I can press up and down and select stuff blindly but i cant see anything.
One other thing to notice is that the menues besides being pitch black have no BGM. I remember for sure there is music in the main menu and in the character selection screen.
Is someone aware of a solution to this problem?

However when I was playing this weekend, comeone in the [general] chat asked if 300% was the max. I responded that 491% was the maximum and they asked why their GF% wouldn't increase above 300%.

I suspect this changed around the time that the Goldskin (+100% Gold Find body armor) and Puzzle Ring were introduced. That would have raised the max GF% to 565% which is * ridiculous*.

Is Gold Find now capped at 300% in Diablo 3?


texts: How do I reach a barrel stuck on a cliff?

texts:
I'm playing the mission Rakkaholics Anonymous, where you have to chase a truck around and make it drop barrels. Well one of the barrels it dropped got stuck on a cliff and I cant reach it or figure out what to do. I tried to ignore it and keep chasing the truck but the truck won't drop any more barrels. So what do I do?

I'm playing on the PS3.


texts: I recently got The Evil Within and I found a bottle full of green liquid. I call it gel, but a part of me doesn't think thats it. I also recently found out it is used to upgrade abilities and weapons.

I play path of damned difficulty and have just got the fifth party member. I feel like the biggest problem is lack of accuracy: every swing, ability or spell has a very high rate to miss or graze, and this often leads to a wipe or a knock out. Most of my characters have accuracy around 25-45, however I have seen mobs with all 4 defense at around 80ish, even with all buffs from food, rest and spells on it's very hard to actually carry out a strategy which relies on a certain hit rate of abilities. I think there must be a certain accuracy threshold that you have to reach, otherwise your team build won't be legit.

If I get it right, perception is the main source of accuracy, so why isn't it the most important attribute for most classes? Why would a DPS need might if 1 out of 2 hits is missing? And I read an article saying perception is mainly for defense, why is that?


texts: Is it useful to hit a single champion with Ashe's Volley?

texts: As an Ashe in League of Legends, is it useful to attack a single enemy champion with your Volley or is it better to just auto attack (ulti, mana spent aside)?


texts: Playing Heroes of the Storm with Steam Overlay

texts:
When you launch Heroes of the Storm directly, it would just take you to Battle.Net. The same is the case with Diablo 3. Adding the parameter -launch to D3 circumvents Battle.Net though and you can log in and use the Steam Overlay by adding D3 with this command line parameter as a Non Steam Game.

However, this does not seem to work with Heroes of the Storm. Is there any way to launch Heroes of the Storm from Steam with the Overlay enabled for streaming?

I am using the Bushi job, and occasionally my character will strike 2, 3 or even 4 times in one attack.

I'm interested to know what causes these multiple attacks, as they seem random. Also if there is a way to boost their frequency.

texts: According to the new Templar Score Ranking System, what are the different ranks?

texts:
The new DLC which arrived today (at least on PS3) adds a new map, a new multiplayer mode and what they call Templar Score Ranking System.
Here is the description I found on the forums: Adding a new layer to rankings, Templar Score compiles your multiplayer scores from the previous four weeks and splits all Abstergo recruits into ten distinct slices called Templar Grade. Your Templar Grade will be a constantly evolving measure of your worth in the Abstergo hierarchy.

But I have several problems with this.

I cannot find the list of these new ten slices
I don't know how to identify them only based on the icons (could be fixed if the answer of the first point also gives the slices' icons)
There is a new screen showing the pyramid and several stats/figures on the right side. But I cannot figure how the total score is computed.

Any idea?


texts:
I am enjoying using the Triumphs system to guide my activities ingame, but I'm curious about how much overall progress I've made.

What is the current maximum Triumph score? So that I can get an idea of my progress?

I say currently, as it is my assumption that new Triumphs will be added when Black Armory, Joker's Wild and Penumbra are released over the course of Year 2.


texts: How to clear this jump in Egypt - Obelisk of Khamoon

texts:
How do you clear the below jump in the Tomb Raider Anniversary level Egypt - Obelisk of Khamoon?

A visual tutorial on tomb-raider-anniversary.com implies that you should just jump straight at the ledge, but I've tried it about 50 times with no luck.

What happens is that she stretches one arm out, and appears to be reaching for the long platform on the left, but hits the protruding edge on the right with her body, falls straight down and dies.

I also tried different timings with Lara's movement before she jumps. None seem to have any positive effect.
