texts: How can you reach the treasures of Frozen Castle?

texts:
The Frozen Castle in act 2 features a good old videogame trope: ice physics of the "once you step on ice the only way you can go is forward". This is combined with treasure chests, some of which are obviously impossible to reach under these rules, such as the one on the very first floor, which kinda sorta looks like this:

###########
########X##
######## ##
#######   #
#######   #
          #
###########

How can you obtain all treasures of Frozen Castle, both as in the quest and the global dungeon?

texts: What causes the scene outside the Death Star to change?

texts:
I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but I have not seen any commentary or questions about it:

Whatever your top level of your Death Star is, right above it if you continue to scroll, there is a small scene going on outside.

When I first began, there was a small construction droid rolling around what looked like a giant belt sander, and generating sparks.  Presumably he was polishing the metal for future construction.

Then, some time around when I built my 5th Imperial level, which I believe to have been the Turbo Laser level, the scene out there changed.  Now there are 3 droids, the original guy is welding some structure, there is another droid that looks like the mechanized suit from Avatar (and Aliens if you're as old as I am . . .) who seems to be moving a bunch of pipes around, and there is another droid crawling around some scaffolding.

Does anyone know a) what triggers these scenes to change? b) what the eventual evolution will be?  c) If anything ever happens on the bottom of your death star?

This could be a cute little easter egg if there are ever any battles taking place out there, etc.


texts: How exactly do the Gunslinger Crits work?

texts: I see here that Gunslinger crits are every 3 consecutive hits. But what is that more clarified? Does it mean that you must hold the attack button down, and have three attacks hit an enemy (in a row), or can you hit an enemy 2 times, then stop attacking, then melee again for a crit?


texts:
It's a relatively frequent strategy in 2v2 matches in StarCraft II for one player to immediately leave the game, allowing his ally to have a very strong economy to deal with his two opponents.  Of course, this still takes a lot of micromanagement for the player remaining in the game to build up his own base and his ally's economy at the same time.

It is particularly powerful with a Terran/Protoss team, because Terran can mine so quickly with MULEs and the Protoss player, given extra money, can produce such a powerful army.

Is it possible to employ this strategy without the Terran player leaving the game, however?  Is there any limitation to the timing and/or amount of resources that can be shared between players?  Can the Terran player start feeding the Protoss player extra resources immediately?

texts: What before-the-ending changes are there in the Extended Cut DLC?

texts:
I quickly ran through the Extended Cut DLC last night and it's pretty clear that the post-decision outro sequence has been modified and extended.

However, during the run up to this point (I loaded from a save just before flying the Normandy to Earth to start the assault) I noticed one fairly obvious addition:

   The Evac of your two selected squad mates, thus ensuring they are on the Normandy as required by the original endings.

I'm wondering if I missed any others, so, what are all the changes made to the game that happen before the start of the outro sequence?

texts: How can I tell if a passive trap is set in a multiplayer game?

texts:
Traps found on the map are an interesting element to the game.  Some are active (i.e., you have to shoot them to set it off) and some are passive (i.e., set it and forget it).  Whenever I come across a passive trap, I try to take a moment to set it to hopefully catch an enemy for a free kill or distraction.  However, sometimes an enemy sets the trap before I get to it so if I'm not paying attention, I get hit by its affects.

It's not a problem if my teammates set it (most of the time) because there's usually a blue icon over the trap indicating it is set and you are immune.  Some traps don't show the icon and usually those are the traps that affects teammates as well (such as the spikes).

How can I tell if a passive trap has been set and is active so I can disarm it or otherwise avoid it?


texts: In Dungeon Crawl, I've found two good weapons. What should be my weapon-use strategy, and why?

texts:
[Edit: I've now also crossposted this to Reddit and also gotten a response there.]

I'm playing Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup 0.15.1. I'm a level 14 Gargoyle Fighter, strength 26, dexterity 14. I'm wearing +8 orange crystal plate armour I picked up off the floor in Lair.

I have two good weapons:

A +0 lajatang. My Staves skill is 9.4.
The +9 trident of the Candle {Speed, rPois rC+}. Gargoyles have inherent rPois. My effective Polearms skill is 4.4.

I don't have any slaying.

I've found both a +0 buckler and a +0 shield, but I can stash them if I end up choosing the lajatang. My Shields skill is 8.5.

texts: Why does the game speed fluctuate from slow to fast, and how do I prevent it?

texts:
When I play Terraria, the game speed will change while I am playing.  So sometimes it will be at "normal" speed, then it will dip into a slow speed, or a fast speed.  It seems the actual game updates are slower too, not just a dip in FPS.  For example, if I am mining I will collect more ore in the same amount of time if the game is sped up, and less if slower.

It doesn't seem to be controlled by anything going on in game, when there is a lot of things going on screen, it won't always go slower, and sometimes may go faster!

I have an AMD R9 290, intel i7 4770K, 16GB RAM.  Running Win10 now, but it happened on Win8.1 too.  This is in a single player game.  There is nothing else going on in the background.

What might cause this?  How do I prevent this?


texts: What are the benefits of having more than one command post in Horde 2.0?

texts:
In each of the Horde maps you have the option of setting up a command post when you start the game in one of 4 possible positions, which is free to set up. After that you are able to buy a second command post in any of the other 3 available positions for $2000.

Usually, I try to pick the best location when setting up the first command post, and at the moment I can't see any advantages of setting up a second command post. Especially when that money could be spent upgrading barriers and turrets, and a second command post doesn't seem to have any immediate effect.

Am I missing something? Are there any benefits for having multiple command posts?

texts:
Now that I have the DLC for ETS2, I would like to explore the new areas added, however, I cannot seem to pan the map far enough to the East as it will just snap back to Wroclaw as soon as it gets past it. (See the image)

If I zoom completely in, I'm able to go just a tad further than the image above shows. I'm using mods, which cannot be uninstalled on a save, but I have tested that the map works fine without mods, on another save. I'm so far in the game that I would hate to start over again and I like the mods I have now.

Is there a way for me to make the camera work? I'm open to any suggestions from settings files to new mods.

My current mods are

Elegance - Destinos
Elegance 360 (seems to be the cause, but it's also my current vehicle)
OversizeLoadMod (v1.4.1)
Realistic Physics Mod v7.0

For the defense of my factory I use Gun Turrets. I've got a belt with magazines running past them. However when there are a lot of biters/spitters coming the belt can't provide fast enough so some turrets run out of ammo. Now I know that ammo magazines stacks up to 200, but the inserters only put 10 magazines in the turret. Is there a way (I'm playing without mods) to get the inserters to fully load the turret, or put a specific number in the turret? I've been trying with circuits a bit, but I'm not a specialist in that and I haven't succeeded. So if anyone knows how to do this, thanks a lot in advance!

PS: I know the system with requester chests and stack inserters, but my factory is quite big and I don't want that many bots flying to very distant places.

texts:
I'm rather new to EU4 (with CoP) and am having fun creating a cluster of colonial nations in North America as Great Britain. I'm considering going on a bigger conquest spree in Europe, and to do this I'll definitely need more manpower.
I can't for the life of me find anything on whether CN's contribute manpower (or raise force limits?) for their owners. The wiki page on Vassals suggests that they have the force limit raised (but not the man power?), and the page for subject nations tells me that Trade Companies do not contribute manpower - which suggests that normal Vassals (and CNs?) do.
Thanks!

What could cause Steam to not properly register these achievements? Is it a problem with the game itself, or could there be some external cause?

I already helped out the guy's brother-in-law, but I'm not sure if it's still worth it to even pay for the papers (I'm kinda strapped for crowns) if the Baron gave me papers to get into the city already.

Could anyone shed some light on this?


texts: What is the best 1.9 magic fishing rod for catching treasure?

texts:
Since 1.9 made afk fishing a very easy and profitable endeavour (because you can use magic mending/unbreaking rods and ditch the rod storage/dispenser mechanism) and on top of mending you can use luck of the sea / lure and mending+unbreaking.

I have been using the following rod to afk fish:

  Unbreaking III
  Luck of The Sea III
      Lure III
      Mending

But I came across this reddit post, with a very detailed analysis:

  Based on this I calculate the average time (seconds, rounded to nearest integer) between treasures for each Lure/Luck combination:

Lure↓\Luck→     0       1       2       3
          0     500     417     357     313
          1     500     400     333     286
          2     583     438     350     292
          3     750     500     375     300

  As you can see, Lure 1 and Luck of the Sea 3 is the best combination for time efficient treasure finding.

There were several changes to fishing in 1.9. What is the best magic fishing rod for catching treasure?

texts:
Everything was perfect. I have a good and young ruler, who has passed on some good genes to his sons. I also had a lot of spare lands, so I could make my heir a duke and doubly count when he came of age.

My mistake was to marry him off to some scheming wench. I knew it would end like this, but her stats were just too great to resist!

Anyway, a few years down the road, and my trusty spy master lets me know that my beloved son is looking to usurp me. Not cool! I demand that he end the plot, and decide to see how this develops.

Shortly thereafter, he suddenly dies (not by my hand — likely the wife is the culprit). My second eldest son becomes my new heir and favourite, however all the titles are inherited by my clubfooted grand daughter aged two. Curses!

Now, what I really wanted, was to imprison and disown my traitorous son followed by swift justice of the axe. Not sure what my other vassals would think of that idea, but I had a just reason for imprisonment at least.

Option number two, is to start plotting for my dearly beloved grand daughters untimely demise, but I'm not sure how that would work out either.

The situation is this. I'm young (40ish) and well-liked. I have a new heir, but I'd prefer to keep my lands for myself and give him the ones of the previous heir — one duchy and two counties currently held by my grand daughter. The duchy can be revoked free of charge, as I hold a claim to it. She has no siblings. I am da King. I have limited crown authority, but can bump it up to medium if it suits me.

So my questions to you are as follows:

Is it possible to disown a son, considering I have just cause for imprisonment? An execution would of course settle the deal, but my other vassals would probably find me "cruel".
Is it possible to plot against a character which is not yet of age? What would happen if she suddenly died with no heir? Would all her titles be returned to the king or duke (i.e. me)?

EPILOGUE
I had savegames before and after, so I decided to test a few things.

I could imprison my quisling of a son. I could also seize all his
titles and banish him from my lands, but he would remain an heir,
even if he wasn't officially a prince. I guess I could have let him
rot in jail, as it seems prisoners often die in custody, but it would
be a risky bet.
After the unfortunate death of my old heir, it seems some strange
rules apply regarding the remaining titles. The dukal title I could
simply revoke for free (although at a opinion penalty from the
duchess). Should she die today, one of the counties would be
inherited by her younger sister, and the other would be inherited by
me.

I found this to be an interesting development: Turns out my new heirs wife suddenly died. Who did he marry, other than the same scheming hag who presumably killed off his brother, and made an attempt at me? By a suspicious coincidence, I died not very long after. Such is the effects of the deceitful and ambitious traits combined with a really dope intrigue stat. ;)


texts: If I manage to get an expert spellbook while being novice, can I stil learn it?

texts:
Spellbook ranking system (novice/apprentice/adept/etc) are often described as restriction on what you can buy from merchant, i.e. you won't by an expert book of Destruction magic in a shop if your Destruction level is 5.

But what if I find Transmute spellbook in a cave can I still learn it if I'm a novice in Alteration?


texts: Nethack move past seemingly unpassable area

texts:
This is my first time playing Nethack so I'm fairly certain I must be missing something simple however, I can not figure out what. I am stuck on finding my way to the next room I have tried going in every direction against the pathways to progress and tried opening doors in every direction yet I can't get out of this area.

Here is gif of the room

As you can see monsters are still entering the area I've explored so there must be an exit somewhere. I thought maybe this was an issue where the room was diagonal of the walk way but even walking diagonally I can't pass anything.

How can I get out of this room??


texts: I have a boatload of assassins now, which gives me 3 "Assassin Bars". I now see an option that says "Assassinate/Arrow Storm", but every time I call the assassins only one shows up and they don't seem to be using arrows or any more powerful. For reference I'm playing on the PC and "T" is the button I'm pressing to call assassins.


texts: Minecraft: building a tower of arbitrary height from inside

texts: I recently built a tower/obelisk type structure by supporting my character's self on a single stack of blocks, building this scaffolding stack underneath myself as I went up and breaking it down from the top after I was done. This seemed like an incredibly risky and failure-prone strategy, and I would not want to attempt it again for concerns of falling. What are some strategies to build a tower or spire structure of arbitrary height from primarily within the safety of inside the tower itself? Preferably, this should not require a full separate scaffolding structure, but this should allow me to occasionally go outside on scaffolding of some sort and decorate the outer surface. Any suggestions or best practices around this? Thanks in advance.


texts:
I have kids, which means I have scratched game discs that my systems can't read.

Several months ago, I watched a video demonstrating how to repair scratched game discs using car polish.  I tried that, and it didn't work.  After a little more research, I found and purchased this plastic polishing kit from Amazon.  Following the instructions (and using some ultra fine sandpaper to sand out the really bad scratches), I was able polish and sand out the scratches on one disc, while another remains unplayable, despite repeated repair attempts.

Using the plastic polishing kit requires a lot of time and effort.  I'm lazy and want it to be easier and simpler.

Is this the best way to repair a disc?  Are there any repair tools that are generally accepted, known, and proven to work?  Do any game publishers support replacing damaged discs?

texts:
I've been hosting a couple of private Tekkit servers for some friends to play on.  There are currently a couple of issues that are becoming frustrating for them:

Bugs in existing versions of mods for the current version of Tekkit, which are affecting their gameplay.
Inability to use new features of mods which have been updated beyond the currently supported versions within Tekkit.

The first point is particularly annoying because there are lots of bugs which have been fixed in newer versions of mods but are not supported by the latest build of Tekkit.

Checking the wiki seems to suggest I need to download a custom server first and start from there, but all I really want to do is install all of the popular mods (BuildCraft, IC2, etc.) and be able to manually keep them fully updated without having to wait for Tekkit or FTB to be updated.

Is it possible to do this and will I need something other than just the standard Minecraft server download?

texts: PS3 Controller not charging or syncing with ps3

texts:
The last time i played a game on my playstation 3 was in February 2014. Now, its August 2014, and my controller can't seem to sync with my PS3 Console.

Whenever I connect it using the charging cord, nothing happens, and when I press the round button, it syncs with the console, but doesn't blink (i.e doesn't charge). And as soon as I disc my charging cord with the PS3, it loses the connection. Its like a ps2 controller, whenever I connect. one light turns on but doesn't blink.

I won't charge on my pc as well. I am running windows 8.1 and i tried everything i read online but nothing happened! Also tried pressing the reset button but no luck! Its been two days now.

texts: Is the Thief Race event in Tomba! undoable if done too late?

texts:
In the classic Playstation game Tomba!, there is a series of events involving a thief who's imprisoned in the Dwarf Village.  First you go into his dungeon and the light goes out, so you restore the light using a torch, then he digs a tunnel to escape, then you find a broken vase in the dungeon, then you cover up the tunnel he's digging, so he's forced back into the dungeon, then he goes to sleep, then you come back and he's awake, then he breaks out again, then he challenges you to a footrace in the Watch Tower, and then after you win you get a Silver Powder that's essential to make candy with Mizuno the witch.

Now I completed all the events in this sequence up to and including "The Great Escape", where you find the broken vase and cover up the thief's tunnel, so the thief has gone back to the dungeon and fallen asleep.  But for some reason,  he seems to stay asleep indefinitely, rather than just waking up after you leave the dungeon and re-enter it, so I'm unable to initiate the footrace of the "Ready Set Go!" event.

So what's causing the problem, and how can I get him to wake up?  I suspect the cause may be that I've progressed too far in the game, while I was supposed to do the thief events earlier on.  I've already beaten 6 of the 7 Evil Pigs, including the one responsible for the Dwarf Forest curse.  Could it be that the Thief events, specifically the footrace, can only be done when the Dwarf Forest is still under the curse?

texts: Can I make myself have original thoughts?

texts:
There are a few trophies/achievements such as "Thinker" and "The Big Thinker," which seem to be awarded for thinking a certain number of your own thoughts.

I've noticed very rarely that I have thoughts appear underneath me that are a jumbled mess of other things' thoughts that I've seen or heard up to that point, but these are few and far between and show up without any sort of pattern. Is there anything I can do to make myself have my own thoughts more regularly, or do I just think things completely randomly?


texts: How can I maximize my chances to win a battle using Auto-Resolve?

texts:
Medieval 2: Total War has an "auto-resolve" feature like many of its predecessors, which I use almost exclusively.  However, it's not exactly obvious what contributes to my chances of success.  The factors I've identified are:

Number of Troops
Type of Troops (Spearman are better than Peasants, etc)
Command rating of commander

What other factors figure into the "Auto-Resolve" feature?  How can I maximize these factors to give me the best chance of winning?  Is there anything I would do differently compared to manually playing out the battles?

texts: What ports need to be opened to play multiplayer reliably?

texts:
So I'm trying to configure my firewall to open the right ports needed to play multiplayer.

According to Ubisoft's Support page:

...you will need to configure your router or firewall to allow the following network ports for the best possible connection:

ACR Ports:
UDP: 21200, 7959, 3074

Uplay Launcher:
TCP: 80, 443, 13000, 13005, 13200

Achievements
UDP & TCP: 14001

But it isn't clear in what direction and which applications need the ports.

I allowed all outgoing and those incoming UDP ports for ACR but I'm still getting BAD upload and STRICT NAT classification.

I temporarily enabled DMZ on my firewall and inspecting my connections when refreshing my online status, I'm seeing these requests for multiplayer:

0.0.0.0:54466 -> 127.0.0.1:45301 (UDP)
localhost:21200 -> 216.98.51.139:28783 (UDP) //ubisoft servers
localhost:21200 -> 216.98.51.140:28783 (UDP)

And these active connections:

localhost:12001 -> 216.240.146.139:12001 (UDP)
localhost:3074 -> 216.240.146.139:12001 (UDP)
localhost:3074 -> 216.240.146.139:12011 (UDP)

(nothing is coming in or out from UPlay at this point)

I want to hold off on playing until I can get the right ports set up so I won't have to worry about it later.  AFAIK, I'm going to have to open something incoming if I want to/end up playing as host but I don't know what yet.  No chance of dedicated servers here.

What am I missing here?  Do I even need to open any incoming ports?

That works besides inverting:
testfor @p[score_snowball=0] {Inventory:[{id:"minecraft:snowball",Count:1b}]} ?
I wanna give player a snowball when they accidentally thrown one into a wall.
Because when they throw it into a wall when they are too close to it, it doesn't get found by:
testfor @e[type=snowball]
and therefore doesn't give a snowball when it breaks.
I also want the player to only have 1 snowball, everytime the snowball objective = 0.
Setup:

Repeating + Always active cmd block with:
testfor @p[score_snowball=0]
and comp going to:
give @p minecraft:snowball

Another Repeating + Always active cmd block with:
testfor @e[type=snowball]
and two comps, one going to: scoreboard players add @p snowball 1
and another going to cmd block that's inverted: scoreboard players set @p snowball 0

After doing the first 25-50 hours of the game, I've spotted a lot of brothels that you can Talk to with red lights outside the door... but they don't say much, at the moment.

Anything from "who would let a stranger in at this time of night" to "oooh, ahhh"... lol.

I just came across a girl who pleads with you not to kill her, after being teleported by some strong enemy after death. I didn't kill her, thinking I could take her to the brothel instead... but I can't get her to come.

What do I do?

I remember reading somewhere that at some point girls ask for a safe place for refuge... so you take them to a brothel... :P

texts: What happens to my vault when I ban dwellers?

texts:
I just recently hit 60 dwellers in my vault, and as soon as I did, there was a group of feral ghouls that attacked me.

Now I've read that when you get to "X" amount of dwellers, the difficulty increases such as different enemies attacking you. But what happens if I start banning dwellers from my vault to get it below a certain number?

Do the rooms I built that require a certain number of villagers automatically get destroyed? Will the new enemies still spawn and attack? Does the difficulty decrease?

Right now most of my dwellers have very low stats, even when I have armor equipped. Currently I have a male and female dweller training their stats, my ultimate goal is to have 10 on each stat then start breeding for better dwellers.

This is about the end of the game, so obviously there will be spoilers, be warned!

I am at the end of the game, and tried to do the merging end.

I manage to do it, get the FMV, and merge with the Mortality. Then, TNO goes to resurrect his companions. He starts by resurrecting Morte, and that's it. Morte stands in front of TNO, I can't talk to him, and he is not even part of my group. I can't access his inventory, can't see his stats, he is not in the group characters' bar.

I have tried reloading previous saves several times with no success, and using previous saves didn't help either.

This is very frustrating, as it is the very end of the game... Is there a fix for this issue?

texts: What are the best places to horde EV train?

texts:
In Gen VI, EV training has become significantly easier thanks to horde encounters. Adding Pokérus and Power items, it's possible to raise a specific stat by as much as 60 EVs per battle. Sweet Scent always triggers horde encounters unless there is a wheather condition (possibly only in rain, I'm not sure there).
Since EVs can rise so fast with this method, it's now also relevant how far these spots are from each other or from the nearest Pokémon Center, so that the total time used to fully EV train one or several Pokémon can be minimized.

So now the question is where the best spots for efficient horde EV training are in X/Y.
Criteria are:

The number of different Pokémon that can appear in hordes at the specific spot and their respective EV yields
If there are mixed hordes at the specified spot, the different Pokémon's EV yields
Proximity to other spots and to Pokémon Centers to minimize the time to get from spot to spot

An ideal spot would have only hordes in which all Pokémon give either +1 or +2 for a specific EV (same for all different hordes in that spot) and be reachable from a Pokémon Center very close to the city entrance.

I am hoping this is not a dumb question, but I have looked around and not knowing this is really bugging me.

I want to know if one of these are more correct than the other?

I have heard more people and websites refer to them as Characters, rather than a 'toon', but what is the difference, if any?


texts:
In the first 30 minutes of the game we learn that our character is a convict (though he never done it, he only said he'd done it so they'd call of the monkey tattooist), shoot a cop in the head with his shotgun, kill a strange girl's babysitter with a hammer and whisk the girl away with a couple of farmhands. Normally this would be antisocial behavior, but zombie apocalypses tend to change the rules slightly. So far I've been replying to the NPCs' many questions with candor, but the game saying "X will remember that" seems a little ominous.

How open should I be about my many suspicious activities? I'm mainly interested in avoiding grievous bodily harm or death being visited upon my character and his pet NPCs. Are there particular facts that have disastrous consequences if revealed, or will things work out all right if I keep being honest?


texts: Want to have text appear each time a player joins on my server

texts:
So first off, my goal is to have [Server] say something whenever a person joins my server. I was going to do this using the .mcfunction command, where you type /function .... in game, and it saves as a .mcfunction in your data folder.

Is there a way I can do this? Will it stay active 24/7 so that whenever a player joins it will automatically say something and i wont have to manually input a command.


texts: How do I get the treasure in the Sealed Door section of the Sealed Palace(5-3)?

texts:
The hint for this one is...

  There is, very rarely, a reward for cowards.

In response to this, I've tried not attacking the enemies, refusing to enter into the big open area for a minute, running around at the edge of the area, hiding in a corner, and generally being a total wuss. Nothing seems to happen.

How do I get the treasure here?


texts: How Many Items Can be Found and Where Are They?

texts:
It is really hard to find much information on this game.  Between guessing and NPC help, I have managed to find a few items - the Palantir, a second elven blade, second Mitril Coat and a 'Glowing Vial' (Phial of Galadriel?).  The manual mentions some others (Red Arrow, Scepter of Annuminas, Dwarven Ring and Silver Orb).

Having to zoom in to the party to see any items makes guessing difficult outside of checking all the towns and ruins.  So the question is, where are all these items exactly, as well as any I might be unaware of.

texts: What should I do about a cat polymorphed into an invisible monster in Nethack?

texts:
I am a lawful human Valkyrie that crawled down the dungeon to the Oracle with a cat and a dog.  The problem is that my cat accidentally stepped on a polymorph trap and he turned into an invisible monster.  I do not have related intrinsics or extrinsics and I cannot see him, nor do I know what kind of monster he is now.

What is the best way to cope with such a pet?


texts: Is any usable content actually locked behind Amiibo cards?

texts:
So I used my Harriet card that came with my game and was a bit surprised to see there were no requirements for her home and best I could tell she didn't come with any extra items. And aside from the "special" characters, all the amiibo card characters do seem to be ingame and while each character unlocks items to use, apparently more than one animal can unlock the same stuff as well (I haven't seen repeats myself, but I've been told this).

So is any content, usable in a normal design (so, not people), actually locked behind amiibo cards or is it just a way to make sure you get to make a home for someone?

texts: World of Warcraft scripting, cast at npc via saved variable name

texts:
I already have a way of storing what I want to attack in a variable, and can verify that's successful. All I need to know is how to properly cast at something with the name I've stored in said variable. Example

Var1 = "Jimmy"
/cast [@Var1] Heal

The above obviously doesn't work, but I hope it shows what I'm trying to do.

No, I can't just target the thing I'm casting on.
No, I can't just use focus, as I need focus for something else.
The point is to maintain my current target and focus, and still cast on something else without something like a mouseover macro.

texts:
When I can make bread for practically the same amount of wheat?

Minecraft 1.4 is out now, which includes Cookies. 2 wheat and the extremely rare cocoa beans makes a stack of 8 cookies, healing .5 hearts each.

On the other hand, 3 wheat produces one bread that heals 2.5 hearts. Given that a stack of cookies heals less than a stack of bread, why would I ever want to bake cookies in the first place, especially given the extremely limited quality of cocoa beans (I've found a grand total of one dungeon so far).

Heck, if cows are around, I can even turn the 3 wheat for bread into a cake, which has an even greater total health recovery over cookies.

So what's the point of cookies at all?

texts: How can I automatically restart TF2 servers that are prone to crashing?

texts:
I've set up two Team Fortress 2 servers on my dedicated server, both have custom maps.  The second TF2 server crashes a lot, so FireDaemon cannot restart it. As a solution I set it to auto restart approximately every 30 minutes but the program is the demo version, so it doesn't work because the clock was wrong and then it stopped working (Security feature).

Is there any other anti crash program that would be suitable for use with Team Fortress 2 servers? Currently when the server crashes, it remains down until I manually restart it.


texts: What I have been having with my server the last few days is that there are massive holes all over my land; you can try jumping in them but you only go about one block down then you get stuck if you're on survival, and have to be /tp to get out.

texts: I know that there is a Pulverized bonus for damaging enemies in environmental traps.  I found many references to the fact that the bonus exists - including answers to the referenced question, but I can't seem to find any suggestions on how to actually trigger traps and catch enemies in them.  I've played the game for a while and I've still yet to catch a single enemy in a trap.  Is there a good strategy for catching enemies in traps?  Are some traps just really hard to use or totally luck based?  I'm taking it in the teeth a fair bit from the enemy, and I want to dish out some reciprocal pain!


texts: When should you repeat levels instead of warping to final level

texts:
My goal is to beat the final boss so you can ignore reasoning that includes achievements/unlockables/highscores.

After reaching the 4th teleporter you can choose to warp to the final level or replay previous levels. When should you choose to replay levels and not warp right to final level?

There are plenty of chests and you can farm experience in the last level before the boss. If your goal is to defeat the final boss, is there ever a reason to repeat levels?


texts:
I'd like to ask, what is the max armor penetration I can get?
By that I mean, not what is the max I can get from items, runes and masteries but what is the max available. I heard that the max is 40% and no matter how much more armor penetration you have it won't matter. I'm not totally sure about that though.

I have 19 armor penetration from runes and 6 from masteries, so in total I have 25 from the start of the game. If I take Last Whisper (which gives me 35% more), Black Cleaver (10% more) and Youmuu's Ghostblade (20%) I will have 90% armor penetration. Will all of it count or only 40% of it while the rest won't even matter?

In seiklus, there are little orbs of various colours that you need to grab as you go along. Some of them I found very hard or frustrating to try to get.

I have 310 points on Club Nintendo, and therefore I am a Gold member. The website says:

Does this mean that I can spend points on things and not have my existing balance subtracted? Also, if I reach platinum where can I claim the special rewards they give out?

At last the game became backward compatible and I wanted to buy it. I was trying to buy it on Xbox.com but MS response was something like: Sorry, we can't complete the action right now.

  Something went wrong
  Give it another try. If this happens again, let us know by entering the code below at xbox.com/errorhelp so we can investigate.
  Xbos-0x80150017

Is the game region locked?! Can I play it somehow if I already have the code?


texts:
My ingame FPS drops every few seconds from ~200 to ~20. The game starts perfectly, and in the beginning it runs smoothly, and after a map change it always starts the FPS drops and will not get better until I restart the game.

It has many triggers besides the map change, sometimes it starts dropping when I open the main menu with ESC, sometimes when a flash grenade pops near me, or any kind of smoke in my vision can trigger the effect (zooming to smoke with sniper, standing in smoke, particles after a HE grenade).

I usually have a good in-game fps (between 200 and 300), BUT sometimes when I open the ESC menu, go in smoke, or any other reason I detailed in my previous message my fps drops to 20 for 2 seconds, then its goes back to normal for a 3-4 seconds, then it drops again to 20 FPS for 2 seconds, then back to normal again. It repeats this cycle until I restart my whole game. If the lags starts in-game and I quit to main menu the fps drops is still there with the same intervals.

The game didnt have any problems before.

I dont run any other programs in the background just Steam and CS:GO.

Here is a poor quality recording of the problem, maybe it helps comprehend my issue.

I tried:

Reinstalling CS:GO
Updating all of my drivers
Completely remove GPU driver with DDU, then install newest, and 3 older driver versions
Reinstall operating system (Win10)
Disabling anti-virus, firewall
Running CS:GO in different compatibility options
Tweaked with my CS:GO settings, launch options, NVIDIA settings
Checked my power management settings

My laptop configuration:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5500 CPU @ 2.40GHz, 2397 Mhz, 2 Cores, 4 Logical Processors
RAM: 8 GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT940M 2GB
Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit build 15063

I would really appreciate some help resolving the issue, it really has a huge negative effect on the gaming experience. During a competitive match usually I have to restart my game atleast 3 times, but my worst case have been 8 restarts during only 1 game.

texts: Horadric Cache material drops in Patch 2.5

texts:
Bonus Acts have been removed
  With this change, completing five bounties in any act will now grant you a Large Horadric Chest containing the same contents as the Horadric and Bonus Caches

Patch 2.5 removes bonus caches from the game but it's unclear how many materials will drop from each cache now. The Diablo Wiki had the following breakdown for the old drop rates per act:

Normal–Master: one material
Torment 1–3: two materials
Torment 4–6: three materials
Torment 7–9: four materials
Torment 10: five materials

What is the material breakdown per cache after Patch 2.5? And is there no added benefit for doing bounties on Torment 11–13?

I notice my High Priority Messages and Low Priority Messages are both 0. I can't see past events in there anymore.
On the bottom there is a small + icon button that shows the log but it is empty.
I don't see anything useful in log files in my documents but maybe I am looking in the wrong files.

Is there a way to see some kind of journal or log of the events that happened in the game?
Some kind of event summary?
A "Previously on CK2..."?

I just want to see what happened and who he killed. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Are there any files that contain this information? Is the logs folder in the my documents folder the only folder containing this kind of data?
Are there any mods that do this?

EDIT: I found a mod that does what I want but it requires the Charlemagne DLC. See answer below. If I get this DLC and that mod, I will be able to log my actions right? Any solution that does not require this DLC?

Does anyone have any tips on getting all of my push-ups to count?
I've tried going slower, adjusting the angle of the Kinect, adjusting the angle of my head while I do push-ups, nothing seems to make a difference.
I am thinking it is something to do with being low to the floor, as I experience some trouble with situps as well.
I'm working out on hardwood floors, could that make a difference?

texts: What's going on when it looks like a 6-damage attack knocked out 29 HP and killed me?

texts:
I just started playing Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (I'm maybe twenty short games in) and there are tons of things that I'm learning as I play, of course.  But I don't even know how to look this one up.  A game just ended with the following description:

  Bob the Skirmisher (level 4, -1/34 HPs)
  Began as a Demonspawn Abyssal Knight on Aug 14, 2012.
  Was a Believer of Lugonu.
  Killed from afar by an orc wizard (6 damage)
  ... with a magic dart

  ... on Level 3 of the Dungeon.
  The game lasted 00:33:21 (2345 turns).

The problem is that I had 29 HP before the attack and there was nothing else on the log of events.

These orc wizards are bad-asses and I was prepared to flee if I needed to; they've killed me three or four times before.  But I just went from healthy to dead with no explanation...

Update:

So the orc electrocuted me and I guess I paged through the info to the next screen of or something.  From the morgue file:

  The orc wizard hits you but does no damage.
  You are electrocuted!
  Ouch! That really hurt!
  * * * LOW HITPOINT WARNING * * *
  The orc wizard points at you and mumbles some strange words.
  The magic dart hits you!
  You die...

Novice Weaponsmith: Default Novice trades
Apprentice Toolsmith: 15 Coal for 1 Emerald, 1 Emerald for Stone Axe + Default Apprentice trades
Novice Farmer: 20 Wheat for 1 Emerald, 1 Emerald for 6 Bread
Novice Armorer: 15 Coal for 1 Emerald, 5 Emeralds for Iron Helmet
Novice Librarian: 24 Paper for 1 Emerald, 38 Emerald + 1 book for 1 Mending book (target)

Which villager should I farm-trade with, and if none of those are preferable, other villagers can be used as well.

texts: How to create a large ocean area using Bukkit?

texts:
I use a Bukkit server for a personal Minecraft project, so I can use mods like WorldEdit, and have further configuration options than regular minecraft.

Recently, through using the MCEdit application, I preformed a "Prune" opperation on the map that I've been working on, to remove all of the excess areas on my map that I would never utilize. I essentially wanted to replace all of these areas with water, and after "Pruning" off the rest of the map, I was going to put the map back into my server and use WorldEdit to make this massive area of water.

When I put the map into my server, I was hoping that once i loaded the server up, it would only load the few select chunks that I had not deleted, but unfortunately, Bukkit spawned new chunks around the area I had saved.

I've tried a few mods, but none of them work because the Bukkit server automatically spawns into empty chunk spaces before it loads the plugins that would prevent this from happening.

Is there any way to prevent this from happening, or otherwise create a large water area? To be clear, any trick to making a water-world will work, it doesn't have to involve preventing chunks from being generated.

texts:
I've researched the web carefully and went on about 20 pages, either from Steam itself or from this website or among other forums. Since I'm a StackOverflow user, I decided to give here a try:

I have steam on my PC for a long time. Not sure if I re-installed Windows at some point or not, but today I wanted to go back to play a few games so I managed to get Steam up and running again (D:\Games\Steam, deleted the ClientRegistry.blob and ran the steam.exe as Admin.)
Apparently, Steam is running fine, it even recognize that I have Dota 2, Free to Play (the documentary) and Rocksmith installed (though needs update). But the one game I want to play (Left 4 Dead) it says it's not installed.

- If I try to install it, it gets stuck HERE:

- I can't repair it because ...

I'm looking for ANY ANSWER AT ALL other than

  delete the files of the game from [...]\common\steamapps\ and re-download
  everything

. Since Dota 2 and other games were easily recognized (automatically), I was hoping there were something I could do to avoid downloading billions of bytes again (it will take me more than 24hrs to re-download everything).

The files of the game are still there were i left them
Deleting the download cache (failed)
Placing the Total War Warhammer file in another location and have
steam search that folder for possible games (failed)
There is no option for me to verify the integrity of cache since
steam doesn't see the game as an installed game

I don't know what else there is to do beside having to reinstall 30GB+ of files.


texts: Does Don Bradman Cricket on PS3 feature a versus mode?

texts: Apparently, there's no co-op mode in the game, but does it feature a one on one mode, where two people can play against each other on a single console? Like FIFA does.


texts: What are the potential risks of joining a Steam group?

texts:
Does joining a Steam group give that group any additional information about you? Does joining a Steam group open you up to potential fraud in some way?

The source for this question is to understand the rational behind people spamming group invites.


texts: Why aren't the console commands "moveto" and "placeatme" working?

texts:
I'm not sure when did this happen, but all of sudden I cannot use the console command moveto and placeatme.

I realized this when I'm trying to summon a dragon with player.placeatme EAFB4, it's just not appearing. The same happens when I'm trying to move myself to Lydia using prid A2C94 then moveto player.

I have tried summoning/moving to other NPCs but it's still doesn't work.

But oddly when I tried it on another save file (different character) it's working perfectly.

Any help here? :/

After several tries, I have found something.

They are still spawning. But instead spawning next to me, they are spawning to somewhere below the Riften Thieves Guild (The Ragged Flagon).

I don't know why is it happening. I discovered it when I clicked my character (0000014) and then typed moveto player in the console command. It teleported me to the below Riften Thieves Guild. Here are some screenshots to illustrate what I mean:

The Riften Guard and Whiterun Guard I've summoned earlier also seem to appear on that place. I tried summoning other NPCs using the player.placeatme again, and yup. They do appear on the Ragged Flagon.

Anyone knows why is it happening? :/


texts:
I bought a new PS4 controller on Amazon but while I'm using it randomly disconnects. I don't get a message saying that it's been disconnected but the light starts blinking and it becomes unresponsive and reconnects after a few seconds.

I've tried resetting the controller and reconnecting it which fixed the problem for about a day but started disconnecting again. This only happens to my new controller, my other one never disconnects. How do I fix this?


texts:
I have been playing Pokemon Go for a few hours now, and I have caught a couple of different Pokemon. Through my playing, I caught some Pokemon that I do not care for nor want anymore. I looked around around the menu, but I did not see an option to release a Pokemon.

Is there a way to release a Pokemon to clear up your storage?


texts: Rollerblading around in X and Y is a fast way to travel, but I've found it really difficult to maneuver around tight spaces sometimes. It would be nice if I could register them to turn them off, or use B to force myself to run instead. Is there any way to quickly and temporarily disable rollerblading?

I'm trying to find a way to have my Gengar (both in Pokemon Sapphire Alpha or X) to learn a skill to make other Pokemon fall asleep.

Is there a way?


texts: How does resource cost reduction (%) work with skills that spend "all remaining resource"?

texts:
There are a number of items that reduce the resource costs of various skills. For example a 20% resource cost reduction to the Ancient Spear skill (Barbarian) would make the skill cost 20 Fury rather than 25 Fury. This seems fairly straight forward.

Ancient Spear can be runed with "Boulder Toss" which then makes the skill spend "all remaining fury to deal 20% weapon damage per fury spent" in an AOE. If you save up your default maximum of 100 Fury and then cast Ancient Spear with the Boulder Toss rune you deal 2000% weapon damage to your target and every enemy unfortunate enough to be standing in his vicinity. Pretty cool and again fairly straight forward. But wait...what happens when you mix the resource cost reduction with the skill that says "spend all the resource"?

Is the resource cost reduction stat ignored?

Does the skill deal more damage?

Is there some other way it works that I haven't thought of?


texts: How to play Sengoku Basara 4 Sumeragi on PS4 in Europe (Japan Import Games)?

texts:
I have bought Sengoku Basara 4 Sumeragi (Japan Import Game) as physical CD on Amazon for PS4 and I cannot start the game.
I am going to describe my problem further:
If I start the game two japanese questions pop up. I have translated both with a photo translator and the first one says something like import data from PS3 Account (because there is also a PS3 version and I guess it is possible to load data from Sengoku Basara 4, because Sumeragi is an extended version) and the second says to load the data for Sengoku Basara 4 Sumeragi.
After answering the second question the first one pops up again and I cannot get over the second question. The questions are showing up again in a loop and no download for data is going to start.
My first thought was that maybe it is because of my location (Germany), so I tried to connect my PS4 Pro with my PC and start a VPN, but it did not work because of timeout by connecting PS4 with VPN.
I have also created a Japanese PSN account but that did not work as well.
I have seen some British and American youtubers played the game, but they did not seem to have struggled with similar problems.
Do I need a router with VPN functions? Or do I need the previous version Sengoku Basara 4 for PS3 to import game data from?
Did someone struggle with similar problems with this game or another? Any suggestions?
I would be grateful for any help! :)


texts: Dota 2 Reborn: Console command for Captain's Mode

texts:
The console command dota_force_gamemode 2 used to work for playing Dota 2 in Captain's Mode, but in Dota 2 Reborn the same fails and the game runs in the default mode (All Pick).

Has the command changed for Reborn? If yes, what's the updated one for Reborn?
Or the Captain's Mode is currently frozen from being triggered via Console (in Beta)?

Am running the game with the following ProcParams:
bin/win32/dota2.exe -steam -novid -console +dota_wait_for_players_to_load 1 +dota_force_gamemode 2
