texts: How do I run Titanfall in a custom screen resolution?

texts:
It's no secret that Titanfall is a Source game.

I like to play my games in a specific resolution in windowed mode, but that resolution isn't supported by all games. For those that don't, I can often set the exact width and height to start the game in using its launch options.

For Source games like Team Fortress 2, Portal, and The Stanley Parable, the obvious solution is:

-windowed -w <width> -h <height>

But Titanfall seems to either ignore the -w and -h options entirely, or resize the window to an arbitrary (but preset) size such as 1024x768. I tried -width and -height respectively, to no avail.

Does Titanfall's version of Source ignore those two options entirely? Is there another way around it?

texts: How many levels do I need to level a pet for it to count as "levelling it myself"?

texts:
All over WoW you can battle various wild pets and you can potentially capture them. They have all different levels depending on where you're battling them (higher level zones tend to have higher level pets).

For the Tournament of Celestials, you need to have 15 pets levelled to 25, that you "levelled yourself".

What counts as levelling them myself? Taking them from 1-25? Or can I encounter a level, say, 23 pet in the wild, level it 2 more levels, and that's countable?

Is there a change in that Chess outcome that leads to obtaining the final item? If so, what is the pattern to look for?


texts: coop_mission_haunted: Stuck in room with 4 skulls and a pillar

texts:
Just tried playing this map today via the Steam Workshop.  When I first spawn, there's a small obelisk in the middle of the room with 4 glowing green skulls with a faint pillar of light that rises to the top of the room.

There are 4 doors that are wide open that lead to the outer courtyard, presumably.

When approaching those doors, they close automatically and will not open until I reach a far away distance.

How can I get out of this room? No enemies have spawned yet and there seems to be no way to trigger enemy spawns or anything else of the sort.


texts: I ended up with two DIFFERENT estus flasks (+2 and +7). Will this break my game?

texts:
Does anyone have any info about what this will do to the game and the best way to handle it? I found it in the chest at Firelink Shine where you're supposed to get back important dropped items. I opened the chest out of curiosity and it doesn't tell you what you're about to pick up (it just says "loot chest?" or something). The item was estus flask +7 which I NEVER DROPPED. (But I did have temporarily for about 5 min)

I used a game save editor to try and improve my survival. I gave myself a set of slightly better armor (Gold-Hemmed Black set) a better weapon (Ghost Blade) and a fire keeper soul (intending to upgrade flask later). After reading that cheating fire keeper souls messes up your game, I went back to the editor and replaced the soul with something generic. I hadn't read anything about cheating in a better flask causing problems with this editor, so I just went ahead and replaced my full +1 flask with a +7 flask. Then I discovered I could not pick up items. I changed the flask back to a +1 and everything worked fine again. (playing the game, I upgraded the +1 to a +2 the normal non-cheating way) ...But just now I picked up the +7 flask out of that magic recovery chest by accident. Now I have two in my inventory and they both filled at a bonfire. Google is not helping, using "2" or "two" (flasks) gives me results for "dark souls II" instead. Other searches bring up the concept of how many refills you have. I dropped a random item and was able to pick it up. Does that mean I'm fine? Is there a way to make sure I do NOT have the "can't pick up items/keys" glitch?

Any help would be appreciated.

texts: What's a typical playtime for one year of Stardew Valley?

texts:
The game has an in-game clock but playing on PC I've left it paused for as long as a 24 hour (human) day on a couple occasions.

A full day (6 am - 2 am) is 20 minutes, plus time spent in menu, plus however much time you manage to sink into arcade games. So given 28 day months that would be 37 hours for one year plus menu plus arcade. I'm wondering if anyone has a more faithful measure of total time (sometimes sleeping < 2 am and a realistic amount of time spent in menu).

The question arises because it would seem that for realism you could, but in a gameplay sense it doesn't work since your 'teammate' in an online race is not really a teammate. He could just jump in the pits at the same time as you, screwing you (or himself) over.

So can you or can you not double stack in Online F1 2018 Races?

texts:
I am working on building a Minmus orbiting base, where I would use ore from Minmus to make fuel, and basically make this my base of operations for any long range missions. I created a "space mover" ship that has a grabbing claw (because there are parts that aren't feasible to add docking ports in various locations). In this case, I sent up a vessel that has a mostly empty fuel tank with docking ports to be attached to the station, and along with it, a docking port with a large solar panel array. I can grab the array with the claw, (and decouple from the fuel tank, so I'm only trying to move the structure beams with solar panels) but the problem is that once I do that, the movement logistics of the space mover change dramatically. (the CoM shifts outside of my ship) I tried grabbing the array in the middle, but it wasn't much better, I had a really hard time trying to make it to my orbiting base, let alone dock the thing.

I'm basically wondering what else can I do to build this base piece-by-piece in space?

Here are some screenshots of the array (connected to the fuel tank) and the space mover ship.

How do people usually connect parts in space? Attach extraneous separators/etc with RCS tanks that move autonomously?

Here is the base I'm trying to connect to, the docking ports in the middle of the ship. I can't even manage to get close to the base with the solar array in the claw.

Update: I finally managed to get a connection on the end of the solar array with the claw, so my CoM would be inside the ship and easier to navigate. (Granted it seems to be on the end, but I don't think I can grab it in the exact center -- I had to grab one of the solar panels). While this was true for forward motion and turning, getting the thing aligned with RCS only at one end was also a challenge:

That basically gave me issues in moving the thing around. I positioned the base so that a port was in the correct position, and was able to get the mover ship there, but it quickly went bad when I can't easily translate (due to RCS being on one end of the CoM) and the angle just kept getting worse and worse. I would back off and try again, but after several tries, I'm not getting any closer.

Here's what the end result was:

Update 2: So I had an idea for a more stable mover ship, although I'd have to potentially make different ones of various sizes, would this kind of design be more stable, with RCS on every corner?

texts: Solo Player Corp Hisec Invention/Research POS - Feasible or Not?

texts:
I'm currently a fairly high skilled mission runner / carebear type that has rarely ventured out of hisec space. On top of typical amarr skills for running a very well fitted paladin and legion, with 5's in almost all relevant skills, I also can fly a well fitted crane (for hauling) and hulk/mackinaw.

I would like to crosstrain into industrial skills and after spending an hour chasing around my home region looking for BPC copy facilities, I decided it would probably be better to set up a POS for copying, invention and maybe some light manufacturing.

I would only want it to be lightly profitable, maybe making 400m isk per month, but if it requires a research alt then I would like it to be able to generate 600m+ isk per month to pay the alt's subscription.

I have done a lot of research on this to decide whether I wanted to pursue it further, but I wasn't able to find much, if any, information on the current climate, as all of my information was 6 months to 3 years old.

What's the current economic feasibility of building a POS in 0.7 or so empire space?*

I've also heard that griefer corps, for lack of a better term, like to wardec and pop POS belonging to solo corps. Are other corps wardec-ing a real risk if you intentionally pick a moon that's undesirable for resources as you would just be using it for research?

*When I say economic feasibility, I'm basically asking if I will probably break even spending maybe 15-30 minutes a day on this with a fuel run every other week vs this just being a complete and total money sink and waste of time.

**Note on the maths:

A small tower should require a badger load of fuel blocks every 2 weeks, as my badger holds 20k m^3. Medium tower would need fuel every 7 or so days, and large 3.5-4 days.

edit

I noticed I just earned "popular question" for this topic, so I'll update it with more info.

I learned since then that you can have three alts for manufacturing and research on one account. A half decent POS can support enough slots to keep all three alts busy easily, even in empire.

If you research your markets well, research your BPOs well, and get a freighter, or even multiple accounts with freighters, then you can stand to make 10+ bil per month, with maybe 1 hour per day of work if you have multiple hauling accounts. A large POS costs <400m per month in fuel costs, so even if you're PLEXing 3 accounts, it's well worth the cost.

Also note, you can't moon-mine in hisec, so don't even worry about that.

texts:
Story
The trigger scoreboard type is used to allow players, even without cheats, to modify their value of a scoreboard objective. By typing /scoreboard players enable <playerName> <objective> this will allow that player, even without cheats, to use /trigger to change their scoreboard value. After triggering, that trigger is disabled again until the enable command is typed again.
Problem
While there is a command /scoreboard players enable, there isn't a /scoreboard players disable. In other words, I can't disable a trigger that has previously been enabled, and now I have to hope  that the player doesn't find out and use /trigger, or it will break my map.
Core question
Can scoreboard triggers be disabled? If so, how?

texts:
The infamy mechanic has been added as of Patch 2.5.1. It's supposed to work in a similar way to aggressive expansion in EU4, where by conquering provinces will contribute towards your infamy score which is represented by a percentage. If that score reaches 25% your neighbours will start to form coalitions against you.

But does anyone know whether Crusades or Holy wars will contribute to this infamy score?

If say, I'm France and a Crusade is called for Jerusalem and I'm the largest contributor therefore gaining all the provinces in the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Will all my Christian neighbours who also fought alongside me suddenly form a coalition against me because gaining all those provinces blew my infamy score sky high?

Or say I'm Castille and I start a Holy War for the Algarve. Is infamy constrained by Religion Group or will a Holy war against a different religion group increase my infamy also?

I've searched for some documentation on how the infamy mechanic is supposed to work but can't find any real explanation.


texts: Can Jack ever take a hit without getting stunned?

texts:
The more I use Jack, the more useless he seems (as a defender). One of the things he is able to do in battle is act as a human shield for one of the other party members, however, every single time I've done this and the person he was defending was attacked, he became Stunned and was unable to act for roughly 3 turns. After realizing that Jack was the only one in the party who can use items, it didn't make much sense anymore to use him to Defend if he was going to be Stunned every single time he took a hit.

Is Jack eventually able to take more than a single hit before becoming Stunned? Is there always a chance that he doesn't become Stunned and I've just been incredibly unlucky? Or is Jack fated to become Stunned whenever he takes a hit?

Im currently working on a city that's population has been growing fairly steadily for a while, but it seems to be struggling to get past the 600,000 inhabitants mark.

I lowered taxes and added more transport links and it worked until the budget became a problem. When I raised taxes again to around the 7% mark the demand collapsed and the population steeply declined by about 80,000. I was wondering if there was a cap on the amount of people that can live in a city, or have I just been missing something?

If I drop the bar onto the single cart, everything falls down.
If I lose all the wheels and drop the bar, the bar will not support my weight and I'll be amusingly propelled towards the general direction whence I came.
If I destroy the supports in a clockwise direction starting from the top one, I'll end up with the bottom wheel supporting the bar in some kind of landing ramp... that's too far to be of use.
If I destroy the supports in a counter-clockwise direction from the top one skipping bottom, I'll get a single-wheel supported ramp upon which I can propel myself... and end in the one space gap at the right.

What am I supposed to do here?

All four tiles must be owned by the same city. All tiles are within the boarders of Mbwila
The tiles for a diamond shape. All tiles are connected close to each other in a diamond shape
No tile can have an improvement or district on it. All tiles are in their initial condition.

So I'm probably missing something. Can someone tell me what's the problem?

I have been trying to find a solution to this for many days by scanning this site and searching Google, but I can't find a definitive answer. I have been planning out some Megatower configurations and I noticed that the number of Goods produced is not a round number (like the number of shoppers living in an apartment level).

If one Good is always consumed by one Shopper, you would need over 7 high wealth apartments for each high wealth mall. Through experience, however, I am usually able to satisfy a mall with only 4 apartment levels, which brings me to my title question...

How are goods consumed in SimCity? More specifically, how many goods are used per shopper?

My question is: if you reduce the amount of fuel in the vehicle assembly building (ei. before launch) will the ship be cheaper?


texts: What game mechanics in Minecraft cause lag?

texts:
There are lots of articles on how to decrease lag by tweaking graphics settings, setting up graphics cards appropriately etc.  That solves the problem for most, and while that helps, that doesn't get at all my problems.

I have a very large farming area, with mobs (hostile and passive), tons of redstone circuits, water channels, literally 1000's of hoppers, chests, 100's of minecarts,  etc.

So, what (if any) of these cause more lag than others?

Clearly MOBS are a resource hog.  If I have 100's spiders in my spider trap, or 1000's of chickens in my chicken farm the game is essentially unplayable.  So, I've tweaked all the farms to reduce mob populations dramatically, and the iron golem farms have absolute minimal (16) numbers of villagers.  This has helped enormously, but as I continue to grow the farming operations into new products, I'm starting to see more lag appear.

Any anecdotes or data on how much CPU various other in game mechanics consume?  Things like:

Hoppers Dispensers
Redstone Circuits
Lava (still, or flowing)
Water (still or flowing)
Running Minecart?
Stationary minecart?
Item Frames and Paintings?  (Both are entities, so do they consume more CPU resources?)

other things I've missed?

Thanks


texts: Is it realistic that a minecraft server is 700GB+ big?

texts:
The server has around 10-20 players, 50 peak. In just a month the
size of the server (world) went up with 250GB. Is it possible, or is it something else?

Theoretically a chunk should only take up about ~1.2MB (150*16*16*256) and if that's the case, it can't be the world? Is Minecraft world saving just badly optimized?

EDIT: To clarify, I'm not the owner and can't verify it's specifically the world, but the server runs on paper and has a few plugins.

EDIT 2: Fixed calculation

texts: How do I stop the AIs from being hypocrites?

texts: For example, they get mad at you when you ask them to stop spying at them, and also get mad when you catch one of their spies.

They settle near you and asking them to stop makes you mad, but god forbid you settle near them. Is it possible to disable this? I'm open to mods.


texts: Which activity yields the most experience?

texts:
I would like to find an efficient way to level up my units, and I'm not sure which activity I should be using to do so.

Story missions
Repeat story missions
Exploration quests
Colosseum
Vortex quests

I seem to get the most exp from exploration, as I can complete lots of battles in a single go, for just the energy cost of entering the area.

I'm not sure if that's the most efficient as I have to move the character around to start battles, whereas repeat missions I can leave the team on 'Auto', but will use more energy.

texts: Can I do anything with my spare Swedish nose?

texts:
I originally picked up Costume Quest because I thought it would appeal to my wife, but have recently started playing it myself (seeing how I was wrong).

So I've been running around Auburn Pines beating monsters and collecting Creepy Treats. So far, I've managed to trade all of my redundant cards with kids I met around the neighborhood, with the exception of an excess Swedish nose.

Since I highly doubt that I was simply lucky enough to pick up duplicate cards that the other kids just happened to need, I suspect that the cards collected are in fact predetermined. This leads me to believe that I am supposed to do something with that spare nose, and I don't want to miss my chance once I go through the gate that opened now that I have trick-or-treated all of the houses.

So am I reading too much into this, or is there some kid I missed that I could trade the extra nose with?

texts: Cannot get Steam Controller to work with FIFA16 (Origin)

texts:
I recently bought a Steam Controller and it works very well with all the Steam games and features. Some days ago I bought FIFA16 and, as you probably know, it is an EA game accessible only by Origin.

I'm really struggling to get the steam controller to work properly with FIFA16. I already added both origin and fifa16 as non-steam games and I also made sure to uncheck conflicting origin settings.

The problem is that, even if I managed to use the most voted controller configuration on steam (big picture), when I get into the game and I start a new match the commands won't work. Also, I can't change them from FIFA16 and FIFA16 doesn't see my Controller, it just sees mouse+keyboard or only keyboard.

How can I solve this?


texts:
As the title implies, I'd like to learn how to play pyro better. I'm pretty good at most classes (aside from heavy, which I avoid on general principle), but I have trouble with pyro due to average health, and being truly effective only at point blank range.

Just to be clear, I'm not a W+M1 pyro. I do know how to use the airblast reflection (although I'm still working on mastering it), about using the shotgun for mid range, and the axtinguisher for quick melee kills, but I see expert pyros out there who come out of seemingly nowhere, and end up performing a lot better than I manage. However, the techniques I see them perform aren't particularly different from what I do, the only change I can detect is that they tend to come from completely unexpected angles at opportune moments. (If anyone needs to know, I use the Degreaser, the shotgun, and the axtinguisher for my pyro loadout.)

So, what should I do to improve my pyro game?

texts: How do I check the bonus for a complete armour set?

texts:
I'm playing as a rogue and have obtained, and am wearing, the entire "Last Descent" armour set, which as per the descriptions on each item has a bonus for complete item set.

This is great, but what is the bonus? Without knowing this I can't reach a solid decision on when to stop wearing the set and swap out better (but probably non-setted) armour...

From some testing (putting bits of armour back on and off) I have determined that the set bonus in this case is probably +20 health and +10 attack, but it would be useful to know if there is somewhere in-game where I can see the given bonus for any set of armour I've managed to collect.


texts:
In World of Warcraft, the way Raid Lockouts work has been changed multiple times.

A Raid Lockout is incurred when you have killed bosses within a Raid, and are then Saved from doing it again until the Weekly Reset is done, which is currently on Wednesday mornings.

I remember for example that in WotLK (patch 3.3.5a), there were 4 lockouts for Icecrown Citadel (ICC).

10 Normal
25 Normal
10 Heroic
25 Heroic

This is obviously no longer the case, plus Flexible Mode has now entered the picture, as well as Raid Finder.

My Questions:

How many different Raid Lockouts are there currently (for Siege of Orgrimmar)
Do the lockouts for legacy/old Raids still work the same, or are they aligned with the new Raid Lockouts?


texts: How do I get the NOT, NAND, NOR and XNOR logic gates to work?

texts:
The Contraptions Workshop DLC introduced a range of "Advanced switches". Playing around with these, I found the AND, OR, and XOR gates to work exactly as expected, but not the NOT, NAND, NOR and XNOR gates. Here's a fairly long explanation of what I've tried to get them to work:

This was my first attempt at using a NAND gate (which should be transmitting power unless both inputs are turned on):

Reading up, I discovered that the N- gates "only transmit power if their inputs are connected directly to the output of other logic gates."

My next attempt, which I expected to work based on the information above, was to have an AND gate feeding into the NOT gate as such:

But, despite the NOT gate's input coming directly from the AND gate, the NOT gate did not turn on.

The problem seemed to be that:

if the previous gate transferred power as its conditions were met, the NOT gate would invert the power and stay off.
if the previous gate's conditions were not met, no power would pass onto the NOT gate for it to be able to turn on the light.

As a final attempt, I ran the AND's output into a NAND gate instead, which I can have one input powered whilst still having it (hopefully) turn on:

So, from what I understand:

The NAND gate should be receiving power from the generator, in order for it to be able to turn on if its conditions are met.
The AND gate is not transmitting power, so the NAND gate should have its conditions met.
The light is still not turning on.

My question is, how do I get these N- gates to function? What is the logic behind when they transmit power? Perhaps I'm making an obvious mistake here like wiring them wrong, or have a misunderstanding of how these gates are intended to work.


texts: Is the Zeta Draconis's thraddash-guarding battle... endless?

texts:
I'm trying to get some sort of sacred relic from a certain planet within the star system Zeta Draconis, which I found it guarded by a whole ton of thraddash ships.. and after some dialogue the thraddash "sent me into oblivion" (in other words, one shooting every ship they'd send).

So yeah, the problem isn't facing thraddash in battle, but the amount of them which were rounding the planet (from which I believe) they were almost 50 of them, and I've been one-shooting every single thraddash ship, but they keep coming and coming... I've been like 25 minutes doing the same thing over and over.

Does anyone know from a trivia or something, how many do I have to face? Or is it literally a ridiculous number intended to make me alt+f4 the game?

I'm playing The Ur-Quan Masters v0.7.0 if that means something.

texts: What is the strange general slowdown (walking/motion speed) in Splatoon 2?

texts:
I play Splatoon with the Switch connected to a TV,

Definitely LAN (wired) connection from the Switch to the internet router.
Very fast internet
Absolutely no other use of the internet during play
I use pro-wireless controllers (FWIW I don't have a wired pro controller)
1000+ hours experience playing Splatoon FWIW
FWIW I use a normal old splatroller

Sometimes when you sit down to play Splatoon, the best way I can explain this is your character walks slowly.

For some reason the actual motion speed of the character - let's say normally 3 m/s - really seems to be reduced - let's say to 2 or 1.5 m/s.

I just cannot understand how this can be.

• If your bandwidth is crap, you'll get jitter/jumping, but it can't magically affect the actual walking speed of the chartacter

• Incredibly, when this happens, it even happens in the foyer.  So, simply walking from the start position over to the game portal, it feels like your character is walking slowly. WTF?

• It seems like the rest of the game is proceeding normally, and only I am walking slowly. So, it seems like the other team mates and enemies and general stuff like moving objects are all moving at their normal speed, it's only me who "can't walk at a normal speed".  It's hard to judge this for sure.

(I totally lose when this happens, which suggests, it's only happening to me, but, who knows - it's hard to say for sure.)

• Whenever this starts happening, I reset the Switch - has never helped.

• Whenever this starts happening (like this morning!) it seems to go on for an hour or so - it's always a few games.  Eventually, it comes good, perhaps later in the day.

• I think, and this is bizarre, it only affects your walking speed (that is to say rolling speed), sliding in ink speed seems normal.  Not sure.

• I've tried quickly changing controllers (WTF? who knows) when this happens, it's unclear if it helps

It just makes no conceptual sense that a character would "slow down" in a MPP game, like, sure you may get jumps and dropouts and jitter but how could the actual "walking speed" change?

This is such an obvious problem you'd think there'd be a million complaints about it everywhere.

• Does anyone else experience this?

• Is there any cure?


texts: What is the algorithm/formula for natural leaf decay?

texts:
This question is more out of curiosity than anything else. The Wiki and other places do mention that leaves decay once their tree is cut down (but not if you place them of course), but there doesn't seem to be any details as to the decay formula by tick, as there seems to be from growing crops. Does anybody know what this formula is? Thanks.

texts: How can I get my follower out of power armor?

texts:
Yesterday I found a second power armor and figured I should to try to get my follower to wear it. She was more than happy to get into the armor, but I can't seem to get her to leave the armor again.
I've tried using the command dialogs and also tried holding the 'leave power armor' button (E by default on pc), but that didn't do the trick for me.
Thankfully I did a quicksave before I commanded her to try put it on, so I could revert the problem, but I like the idea of us both wearing power armor.

So I would really like to find out how i can get my follower out of power armor?

texts: How to retreat from an unwinnable battle?

texts:
I'm a Starcraft 2 beginner (playing mainly Zerg) and encountered some situations where I ran into a much bigger army with an army of smaller size. This usually happens versus Protoss where they retreat a smaller army back to the big one (me following them stupidly) and they immediately reinforce at a nearby pylon.

My first reaction to this situation is to retreat and save as many units as possible. Slower units like the roach (without speed-upgrade) get easily sniped by stalkers. By the time I have roach-speed, stalkers can blink, resulting in a similar situation. Also, stimmed marines seem to be quite effective at taking out huge chunks of a fleeing army. I have the feeling that by running away I actually get away worse than if I had fought the enemy.

So the question is: How do I retreat properly? Is it viable to leave some units as bait and run with the rest of the army?


texts: What use is a blue buff for a champion using energy (or anything but mana)

texts:
The blue buff is known for being the buff that gives you extra mana regen, making you able to cast over and over again.

So what advantages does an energy based champion gain with the blue buff?


texts: Is it possible to save the wounded Batarian in the refugee camp?

texts:
In the mission "Citadel: Wounded Batarian", you encounter and speak with, well, a wounded Batarian named Ghorek. The guy's pretty beat up and only has a "50/50" change at survival. You talk to him a bit and then are given the decision to put the fella' down quickly or let him suffer awhile. Neither of these choices seemed particularly good.

So I'm wondering, is there a third, non-obvious way to proceed? Is there an obscured path in game that allows you to aid the Batarian and restore him to health? If so, what rewards does that route yield? Also, does it affect any further story threads?


texts:
In many MMO's, there is a (sometimes huge) penalty for dying. For example in Lord of the Rings Online, there used to be a huge dread penalty, which made it very hard for you to win battles for half an hour. Your armour would be damaged as well, leading to high repair costs.

Now I was wondering, what are the penalties for dying in The Old Republic?

texts: Is there a pattern to Draven's Spinning Axes?

texts:
The newest champion in League of Legends, Draven, has an ability called Spinning Axes. It increases the damage of your next basic attack and bounces into the air. If you are able to catch it before it hits the ground, the effect lingers, increasing every attack until you fail to catch said axe. You can have two of these going at one time.

The only problem with this is, in the heat of battle, the axes become very difficult to keep track of when they go flying every which way.

Is there any way of predicting which direction these axes will go upon launch? Or is it completely random?

 Note: I realize it leaves an indicator on the ground. I'm wondering if it is possible to predict where that indicator will appear.


texts:
My KoA is connected through Game Center and I'd like to pause the current game progress for a month or few.

I've missed anything, or that would be the worse scenario?

Are there any methods of pausing the game progress for longer period of time (e.g. due to travel) and minimalize the loses, or this is inevitable when leaving the game on its own? I'm aware of Peace Shield, but it can work only for maximum of few hours (like 2-12h).


texts: Are ballistae effective in defending cities in Age of Wonders I?

texts:
One of the important problems in AOW is defending your cities. I have noticed that fortifying is a very good answer at the earliest stages, when no flyers are available yet, and that it is very effective to put archers inside to shoot the attackers attempting to breach the walls.

Basically, I can just ignore any units besides ranged ones for this purpose, but I thought about using a ballista, or a few of them.

A ballista costs 72 gold to produce and the same to install, and 6 for upkeep. An archer costs 15 gold to produce, does not need to be installed, and 4 for upkeep, so one ballista costs almost 7 times more to produce, and, more importantly, 1.5 times more for upkeep.

But the Shoot Javelin Ability deals around 2.5 times more damage than Archery, and from around 2 to 2.5 times more than Archery with Marksmanship I, and, what's also important, is long-ranged, so I always have the first shot. So, if I want to have the same firepower and buy two ballistae, I have to pay 144 gold instead of 75 gold for 5 archers, and pay 12 gold upkeep per turn for two ballistae instead of 20 for 5 archers. So, I pay 69 more gold for producing, and save 8 each turn: after 9 turns ballistae turn out to be cheaper. 5 archers also take 5 turns to produce in a two-hex city, while ballistae take 4 turns to produce two of them, which means losing income from Producing Merchandize for 1 turn in the case of archers.

Another option would be installing ballistae exactly where I need them. A two-hex city is needed for that, with 4 turns for production and 1 turn for installation, 5 turns all together. Same time would be needed for 5 archers. The archers cost 75 gold, ballistae cost 216 to install and produce two, or 141 more gold, which means ballistae being more effective money-wise after 18 turns.

I would like to hear some advice from proficient players: are ballistae better or worse than archers for protecting walled cities?

Major Final Fantasy X spoilers below.

  So at the start of the game, Sin pretty much obliterates Dream Zanarkand, the "present" Zanarkand Tidus is from. In the middle of the game that make sense; Sin destroys stuff. Of course he wiped out Zanarkand.

  But late in the game we find out Sin was made by Yu Yevon who also created Dream Zanarkand, in fact he created Sin explicitly to protect Dream Zanarkand. So why did Sin destroy it at the start of the game?

I've been digging through the Final Fantasy Wiki and haven't found a bit of explanation for this, and I don't recall a reason from when I played and complete the game, though that was years ago now.

Does the size of a city have an impact on a mission's success or otherwise?

Does the City size affect how easy it is to gain or lose intrigue?

texts: Minecraft Launcher won't run latest version of Minecraft (v1.7.2)

texts:
I recently updated my Minecraft Launcher, and v1.7.2 of the game appeared in the drop-down menu of which version to play. The version I played before updating the launcher was v1.6.2 without any issues.

So installed the new version in the launcher and then tried to run it. When I press play the "wait" icon appears on my cursor for a second then goes and nothing happens. I left it for about 10 minutes before retrying.

I then pressed the force clean button and it updated the game files automatically. When I tried to run the game the same thing happened. I went back and selected v1.6.2 and the launcher ran it straight away.

I can't figure out why v1.7.2 of the game won't launch?


texts:
I was playing greed mode and I got Jera, Blank card and glitter bombs. During the greed fight, I dropped a bunch of bombs and started spamming Jera and the room was filled with shit. I picked up some other cards including ? card and when it was all over, my blank card wasn't there. There's no way for items or chests to spawn from glitter bombs and it wasn't replaced (I had no spacebar item afterwards). My theory is that when I used ? card, Blank card disappeared. Has anybody tried this or can confirm?
Here's a picture of me, in my sea of items with my blank card missing:

Thanks.


texts: Do Enchantments on Weapons Scale with Sneak Attack Bonuses?

texts: Recently I've built a character on Skyrim who focuses mainly on sneaking and bursting to death any enemy and I'm trying to max out my damage. I have been testing what I already have and with sneaking + 2 daggers I've one shot Sahloknir and Arngeir. My current build is Ebony Dagger + Blade of Woe x30 (x15 With Daggers Perk x2 for Jesters Gauntlets/Shrouded Gloves) which adds up to 1140 damage, but this lead to my question. Do enchantments like Absorb Health and Frost Damage scale with the x30 Sneak Attack, I'm just trying to max my damage. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.


texts: London Underground Simulator won't start

texts:
London Underground Simulator (World of Subways 3) won't start on my system! It worked earlier today when I changed the options and closed it. Now it shows as just a tiny window in the Top-Left of my screen.

System Specs:

  AMD A6 6400K @ 3.9GHz, 6GiB RAM (1x 4GiB Crucial @1600MHz (Running at 1333MHz for compatibility) & 1x 2GiB G.SKILL @ 1333MHz), 1.75 TB storage (1x 750GB Seagate HDD @ 7200RPM, 1x 1TB Samsung HD103SJ @ 7200 RPM), ASUS GeForce GTX750 TI. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

I have uninstalled and reinstalled DirectX 9 and 10 (Both required for the game) with no luck. If anyone can help me out, I would be grateful. I have attempted to reinstall the game (and the Aerosoft launcher required to launch it) twice. I have also tried moving the game from my 1TB HDD to my main 750GB HDD and updated the Aerosoft launcher from 1.0.0.8 to 1.2.0.3 with no luck.

I just upgraded to Windows 10 and it still doesn't work.


texts: Why did I always disconnect from Minecraft Server although my Internet is in good condition? Precise about this is in the desc;

texts:
Here are the issues;
I continuously disconnected from the Minecraft server although my Internet is in good condition. I use a laptop and not using an adapter such as ethernet, Pardon me if I'm wrong! Well, the issues are I don't use any modem or router, and more likely to use mobile hotspot. So, the issues that I stress are the problem with connect to the variety server. When I tried to enter the private server that my partner made; I always have an issue where the server will kick me out. The server that I join always sent me messages such as ' connection timed out ', ' can't connect to the server ', or ' connection lost ' [ Something like that ]. And when I tried to join another server, the connection just smooth and really well!
Back to my partner server, his friends can join it placidly and doesn't have any problems regarding the issues that stated ' Connection Timed Out ', ETC.

So the thing that I've tried before is to flush the DNS, changes the port, rebooting the devices, turn off the hotspot and then turn it on
repeatedly, modify the name of hotspot and password, turn off the
firewall, update the drivers, change the DNS addresses and other that
I have researched to get this issue fixed,

but sadly turn out the progress or culmination is still same and I still can't connect to the server considerably.
More is that the ping is regularly high when I joined the server but when I tried to join another server, the ping just becomes lower and lower and the experienced become more smooths. Also, the server that I wanted to join didn't have any problems and my partner friends can join it smoothly without any problems that I've faced.
In fact, I don't have any anti-virus software and only using the original that built inside my laptop. I'm using Window 10 Pro and using brand named ASUS with AMD4 A4 type. I've already tried using the command prompt as I already stated in the second paragraph and I already changed the hotspot AP band into 5Ghz Band. Furthermore, my internet around here is really well and smooths and I even can download 5GB software within 50 minutes or more without any problems and I can even watch YouTube or listens to the music or Video Call with my partner during the download period. So, can someone figure what's the problems is and please let me know if you need longer precise about this issue!

Any kind of solution is extraordinarily welcomed!

texts: Will Elizabeth warn me if I rely on her in combat too much?

texts:
In one of the original trailers, Elizabeth conjured a storm cloud, which Booker then electrified to damage everyone nearby.  Afterward, Elizabeth was exhausted.

Shortly after seeing that, I remember reading a developer preview article which said that too much use of Elizabeth's tears would start to weaken her.

Right now, I've just finished the Hall of Heroes and I haven't seen any evidence of that at all.  In the past few combat sequences, there's been just tons of things that I can ask Elizabeth to conjure up for me - mechanical patriots, barrels of guns, health kits, machine gun turrets, and so on.

I haven't taken advantage of many of these (only the first time when she offered to pull through some cargo hooks or a heavy machine gun turret and a couple of health packs since) because I don't want to hurt her.  So far, I haven't seen any evidence of damage, but now some of these fights are getting tough without her help.

Will Elizabeth warn me if I start to use her powers in combat too much, or will she just suffer silently?


texts: How do you remove an invisible force field in Minecraft?

texts:
I placed a house in my Minecraft world. This house was created by another user. Upon editing this house, I encountered an invisible force field. I destroyed an item and then tried to place something in its place but was unable to place an item in that space.

I'll try to explain this better:  I destroyed a block so now there is empty space where that block once was. I then tried to place a different block in this space but I am unable to do so. It's as if there is an invisible force field around certain blocks in this house.

How do you remove this force field to make the game work again?

texts:
My city is 1500 years old. It has 1.8 million citizen, 800k businesses and a small industry (around 9k). It's a thriving town running on a $4.5 million yearly budget. It's pretty developed; the crime and pollution rates are low, education and health are pretty high and it has a decent infrastructure (buses and rails account for 20% of traffic). The city is connected to many other cities, it outsources industrial jobs, electricity, water and garbage. It has an airport that handles over a million traveler.

Here is how it looks like from the sky. It's pretty crowded:

And this is only a small part of the whole thing.

But there is a problem here: Technically, and from my estimates, my city can handle up to 3 million citizen and 1.5 million businesses. But it's not. However, it has entered in a chronic recession that no stimulus can escape it. My only escape to the decline of the city is to raise taxes which only worsened things.

Taxes for the poor are at 20%, and 8% for the remaining. Businesses have taxes from 8% to 20%; and the small industry is taxed 8%. When I started the city, the taxes were a lot lower, but since the recession hit (at around 2.0 million population); I had the raise taxes to face the budget deficit.

I have tried lowering taxes for the poor which increases their number, and then convert them to medium and rich citizens. It worked for a while and made something similar to a "business cycle". But this plan no longer works. Lowering taxes to 0% for the poor now barely raises their number (though their number doubles, it's still pretty negligible to the rest of the city population - around 200k -)

I have tried taking all taxes to 0; but this only ruined my thousands' year savings. The city couldn't get alive again. There are dozens (and maybe hundreds) of empty business and residential buildings that could handle a couple more millions of population.

Planning new parts, making projects and things doesn't work; The effect is negligible to the whole. I think the solution is an economical reform but SimCity has poor settings in that area.

How can I bring my city out of this recession?

Update:

Here is an update with more relevant information. (I'm not sure how to get the file of the city, any tips?)

Earnings/Expenses: It's clear from the graph, that there was a financial crash followed by a chronic and slow recession. Less earnings, cut expenses. Cut expenses results in less earnings, that evil circle.

Demand: All demand is low, except for the industry. There isn't enough place for the industry (which at the time was around 90K, but is now only 9k). In fact, the city rely a lot on its neighbors for the industry. New neighboring cities always have 100% high demand in High-Tech industry and fill any size of land you give.


texts: Comparing TN vs. IPS LCD monitors for gaming

texts:
Having never owned an LCD desktop monitor, I'm wondering what the advantages and disadvantages are between owning a TN and an IPS monitor in regards to gaming performance. While I know there are several factors upon which you can compare the two for general usage, I'm primarily concerned with the differences in gaming experience between them and what factors I would need to consider when comparing the two.

I'm currently having difficulty disseminating information from pages and pages of forum posts. What I'm primarily looking for is a comparison between the following points, though any additional information in regards to differing factors would also be welcome:

Refresh rate
Responsiveness
Graphics/texture quality differences due to varying color depth in displays


texts: What are the uses for the trophy items in Seiklus?

texts:
I have finished Seiklus, and it was great, but I'm still wondering if I used everything to its fullest abilities.

There is a trophy stand of sorts on the map screen which holds a number of interesting items:

At first I thought they were just, well, trophies. Only shiny things to look at. Later on I realized that one of them actually has a purpose.

So now I'm wondering if the other trophies have a purpose. I didn't really notice anything else special happening while I was playing the game, but I would think that if one has an ability the others must.

So what are the functions of these items?

What is the value of bShadowsOnGrass?  I think there are three options:

The first value is set, then all others ignored.
The last value is kept, overwriting all earlier values.
No value (or some default) gets set because of the conflict.

Which is right?

texts: How exactly do Hair Tonics work on RDR2?

texts:
I've been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 for a while now. If I would guess, I'm halfway through Chapter 3.

My beard and hair are both on size 7.
For hair, this is the longest size the game provides, now for facial hair, I still have sizes 8, 9 and 10 to go for.

When I reached level 6, a prompt was shown stating that from now on my beard would only grow if I start to drink Hair Tonics.

I've been drinking Hair Tonics from the moment I got access to them on the beginning of Chapter 2, but to be honest, after dozens of hours I'm not sure how they work as the in-game description is poorly detailed.

I noticed that I can drink more than one Hair Tonic per day, but I can't tell if this really makes a difference. A quick search on Google says that this effect stacks as you sip more Hair Tonics, but I'm looking for confirmation as I couldn't confirm for myself from playing (I didn't pay too much attention to this game mechanic).

I have questions like:

How long does the effect of a single Hair Tonic last?
If more than one is taken, does the effect last longer or is just the growth rate that speeds up?
How much is the rate growth increased for each Hair Tonic that I drink?
Does the Hair Tonic effect rely solely on screen transitions (like sleeping, missions that advance the time to the moment they should begin, chapter transition and so on) or does it work when the player is free roaming and the time is passing by? Does it work on both situation then?

I think these questions cover most of the details involving Hair Tonics on this game.


texts: Limit FPS in Games to prevent overheating

texts:
When playing games on my laptop (MacBook Air 2011 with Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics), the temperature of the processor / GPU quickly reaches to 95°C causing it to throttle down every couple of seconds.

In this situation, the FPS drop from about 40-60 to 10 for a moment causing big stuttering.

In CSS, I was able to work around this problem by limiting the FPS using the built-in console command fps_max 30 to 30.
This not only solves the stuttering but also reduces the noise and temperature of the CPU / its fan while gaming.

However, most games don't offer a comparable functionality (not that there are too many running on OSX :-) )

Especially when playing Left4Dead 2, I really miss fps_max (which is not available there).

It seems that Valve has removed fps_max from servers while stating

  The fps_max convar will not have any effect on servers. (It remains as
  a client option since limiting your FPS can reduce GPU heat and
  overall power consumption.)

Does someone know whether they have included other measures to prevent GPU overheating similar to fps_max?  At least, they seem to know the downside of simply removing it.

Even better than a solution only applying to L4D2 would be a system wide option to limit the FPS in games.

Is there any?

Many thanks in advance for your responses!

texts:
I have the following setup for villager zombiefication/healing:

View larger image
It is a sequence of 5 of this:

View larger image
Basically the minecarts drag the villager in a "pit" where they get zombieifed, then I push a button  and the cart moves to another pit, where I drop a splash potion from a dropper and I give the golden apple to the villager (with right-click). It repeats for 5 times on each side (we are 2 players).
Now, we just finished dealing with our first villager, but to our dismay the discount was not what was expected.
I looked into the NBT data, and instead of finding two major_positive bonuses of 100 each, I found them to be equal to 20 (i.e. one single healing) and several minor_negative and major_negative. Specifically: the major_negative was towards the zombies, not the players.
Is there something wrong with the setup? Is there some rule not written in the wiki on how to get the bonus for healing a villager 5 times?

I still get an in-game letter every day or so, and now the letters are mentioning a singing giant that doesn't seem to attack anyone, army actions, and other things that seem to indicate something else may happen.
On top of that, there are two large closed gates at the HQ, that might open at some point.

Is there any more game content at this point, or is it just about accruing money and survivors?

I've searched for answers, and only found people asking the same questions. Not sure if it matters to the game-play, but I used to play this on iPhone and am now using Android.

Location marker seems to keep telling me to go back into the room, as far as I can tell. Even went to the lower levels where I cleared out the militia, but still can't find anything.

Am I missing something? Did the game glitch? All guides I've looked at seem to indicate all I need to do is lock down the mainframe, and that's it.

Why aren't I progressing to the next part of the level?

texts: How to procure large quantities of particular wares without too much effort?

texts: IT is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single Paranid in possession of a good fleet must be in want of a satellite network. However, locating enough advanced satellites to place even 1 in all the ~200 sectors is a task and a half; and outfitting a fleet of ships with shields and weapons is a dozen times harder. So far I've been using the Remote Best Buy command to top-up my satellite layer, but most of the time it only manages to buy 1-3 satellites per trip. Is there a way for me to give an order to procure a number of wares and let the ship sort it out without micromanaging it every step of the way?


texts: Is it possible to remove the link to the Support-a-Creator feature?

A few days ago, I entered a Creator ID for the Fortnite Share the Love event and bought an item to get the free wrap in the 7.40 patch update.

Now, I don't want to support a creator anymore. I tried blanking out the creator name, then submit but it was telling me "Connection error. Please try again later" on Switch and PC.

Looking into the Support-a-Creator FAQ, I cannot find any information concerning removing the supported creator. Changing the supported creator works just fine. Do I really have to keep supporting a creator?
