texts: How does the gold/gem exchange rate get determined?

texts:
I am very confused by how the gold and gem exchange rate works in guild Wars 2. I want to understand it a little better so I can optimize the amount of Gems I can get and when to best buy it.

First of all, can someone help me understand how the graph works? I stared at it for a couple minutes and down really understand it.

Also, according to a developer interview:

  ArenaNet will set the initial exchange rate for gems to gold when the servers first open for headstart, but after that the rate will fluctuate based on supply and demand of the players using the Currency Exchange. The gems and gold players get from the Currency Exchange are supplied by other players, not ArenaNet. As supply of gems goes up, the price will go down and vice versa. While we do not expect prices to fluctuate wildly, smart traders will be able to get good deals by watching the exchange rate closely and waiting for it to favor gems or gold, whichever they are looking to purchase.)"

This makes almost no sense, specifically the part about the gems being supplied by other users, since it seems to imply that an initial amount of gems are introduced into the economy with the initial set exchange rate and as the gems pass into the hands of the players the rate goes up or down depending the demand. But how does this work if gems are being spend on the "freemium" items? Are more gems introduced into the economy to compensate for the gems that was just spent?

Or does it have a law sort of like the conservation of energy which means no gem is destroyed. There is a set amount of total gems and as it is used, it gets queued to be sold again by the anet on the trading post. If that is the case does that mean as more players play GW2, the demand for this set amount of gems would increase thus increasing its value?


texts: Does GGTracker's APM include camera hotkey usage?

texts:
I use GGTracker.com to analyse my Starcraft 2 games/replays since it gives me a nice overview of my SQ and APM over time.

I use The Core for my key mappings, and as a Zerg player, I make quite a lot of use of the camera hotkeys - for injecting. It seems to me, however, that GGTracker does not factor in to account the action of repositioning the screen in the APM calculation.

Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know if this is the case?

texts: Making a PSN account on a friend's Playstation 4

texts:
My question is kinda simple but I can't find a similar case on the web.

I am borrowing a friend's PS4 and don't own a PS4. I also don't have and never have had a PSN account.

I've created like a local profile on PS4 and have played quite a lot on it.

Now I would like to create a PSN account to save my trophies and cloud saves if it's possible and maybe later buy my own PS4 and log in with my PSN account.

Will it in any way hurt or damage my friend's PS4 profile or PSN account,
if I create a PSN account on his PS4 and login with it ?
Like with the only one primary PS4 per account. This would make both my friend's and mine account use the same PS4 as the primary. Will it do something wrong to his account or PS4 ?

texts: What hex colors are produced by dyeing signs?

texts:
Story
There are two ways to colour signs in Minecraft: Java Edition:

Colour the sign by holding a dye in your hand, then right-click on the sign.

Use cheats to modify a sign's raw JSON text to something like:
{"text":"Green means go!","color":"green"}

Problem
It seems like the dye colours don't seem to match any of the values used by raw JSON text or formatting codes. Examine the images below:

It doesn't seem like any of the dyes match up to an actual JSON text colour, instead, they all seem to be colours of their own. I would like to match them up to actual hexadecimal numbers so I can have them for a reference. Surprisingly, the Minecraft Wiki does not state the actual colour values.
Core question
What are the exact hex code colours produced by dyeing a sign? (yes, it's dyeing, not dying)

P.S: It seems like the JSON colour dark_gray and Light Gray Dye may produce the same colour.

texts: How do I set a dead zone for my Xbox 360 controller?

texts:
How do I set a "dead zone" for my Xbox 360 wired controller (reference image).

Clarification: I meant for use with my PC.

Additional information: The reason I want to do this is because the joystick is beaten up from a lot of usage and now it suffers from "ghosting" which basically means it moves slightly and it can easily screw things up while in-game. For those of you who don't know what a "dead zone" is it is basically a small area (from the center of the joystick) that is dead so it will stop moving and stop ghosting. Google will probably yield more information on the specifics though.

texts:
Is there any way to be able to exit the Runescape 3 client while logged on in just 1 click? I cannot seem to find an answer on Google, Reddit, or this site.

Currently, when I try to exit the client either by logging out, or even if I hit the X button in the top-right corner or if I alt+F4, it still asks me for confirmation if I'm sure I want to close the game. I would like to be able to immediately close the game by exiting the client without it asking for confirmation. Does anyone know of a way to bypass/turn off this feature of the client?

EDIT: alternatively, is there a way to make a preference for going to lobby vs. logging out using the "door" logout button so I can perform either action in a single click?

texts:
I am building a Space plane. Its very simple, I have a completely symmetrical design with the center of lift near the edge of the center of mass sphere (so behind but not WAY behind).

The problem I'm having is that when I start to turn my plane, if i turn too quickly (turn to greater than 10 degrees off my current velocity) my plane goes crazy and turns all over the place (towards the opposite of where I am heading).

Why is this happening?

Extra Information:

I use Ferrum Aerospace.
Further fatalities have uncovered that the plane actually tends at a 90 degree angle to its heading (and not opposite).

texts: Is playing a FPS with lower resolution beneficial?

texts:
I have a 1280 x 1024 (4:3) resolution monitor. However, because my graphics card is absolutely horrible I have to play every game with the lowest possible settings.

Even then games barely run at more than 10fps. To increase this, I always use a 800 x 600 full-screen resolution So the game is actually stretched to my screen.

Assume now a player with a certain amount of skill in a first person shooter who has 2 setups:

game running at 1280 x 1024 resolution with a 1280 x 1024 resolution monitor
game running at  800 x 600 resolution with a 1280 x 1024 resolution monitor

In what setup would the player achieve the best performance?

I was thinking setup 2 because the same amount of content is stretched to a bigger surface, however reasoning further makes my brain hurt...

Note: there are similar questions about stretching resolutions on Arqade but unlike those I'm not interested in the effects on the graphics card.

texts:
In Old School RuneScape, High Level Alchemy is a spell which converts items into money. How can I figure out the best items on which to cast this spell if I want to gain Magic experience?

texts: How do I get Okami to the platform on bottom floor of Moon Cave?

texts:
After falling to my death a number of times in Moon Cave, I turned to the walkthroughs.  A typical example reads:

Jump on the elevator nearby. He warns not to disturb him lest the platform go crashing down into the pit below. Power Slash him anyway and he will drop the controls, sending the platform down. You have to slash him a number of times before reaching an opening.
After jumping onto the land to the left, move past the Imp guard and into another cavern with more enemy Imps.

It's the jumping to the "land on the left" that causes problems for me.  Every time I try, I fall just a few units short of making the jump.  What am I doing wrong?

texts: Is there a way to put spaces in a scoreboard player name?

texts:
Note that this is only focusing on Minecraft Java Edition, and for versions 1.13+. I am predominantly looking for a solution that does not require any external programs (like MCEdit or NBTExplorer) and will work in just plain vanilla Minecraft, although if the only solution doesn't fit these criteria, I'll still take it (since having a solution is better than no solution!)
Essentially, I am looking for a way to put a phrase (meaning essentially there are two or more words and spaces are involved) on a Minecraft scoreboard.
This is what I mean by 'phrase': One two three, 1 2 3
These are not 'phrases': OneTwoThree, One-Two-Three, One_Two_Three, 1-2-3, etc.
However, it seems like the only way to add text to an objective on the scoreboard is to add a "fake player", via /scoreboard  players add [playername] [objectivename] [score], which shows the [playername] and the [score] part of the command on the scoreboard. However, since player names can't have spaces at all, it means that you can't have a phrase shown on the scoreboard.
I have seen on many servers scoreboards that do have phrases listed on the scoreboard, but I have no idea how they do this (probably because of plugins that can do this sort of thing).

I did notice that teams can be given display names that can have spaces, so is there a way to display the team name on the scoreboard (thus being able to put phrases on there?)?
Overall, my main question would be "Is there a way to use spaces on the scoreboard (excluding the objective name) in vanilla Minecraft?

texts: Is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness region-locked?

texts:
I have an Italian 3DS and I've bought a second-hand English Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness. I should be able to play it, but I can't, and I don't know why.

According to this question "Can I play DS games from any region on 3DS?":

  While all 3DS software is region-locked, Nintendo DS software is not. Because that region-locking isn't encoded into the DS software, you can play software from all regions on your 3DS.

However, software specific to the Nintendo DSi are region-locked, as Wikipedia states.

I thought that maybe that game itself could be region-locked, but the only region-locked Pokemon game should be Pokemon B2W2, according to Serebii:

  The games can be played on any model of DS and 3DS, however they contain a region lock on DSi and 3DS models.

I'm pretty sure that Mystery Dungeon is not an enhanced DSi game.
As I've found on Gamefaqs:

  There is an easy way to tell if a game is DSi-enhanced or not: look at the letters on the bottom of the label on the cartridge. If it begins in "TWL", it's DSi-enhanced. If it begins in "NTR", it isn't.

And that's not the case.

So, here's my question: is there something I'm missing? Why I can't play that game on my Italian 3DS?

Here is a picture of the cart:

texts: Which item teleports you randomly on taking damage?

texts:
I had a fine Lazarus run going yesterday, until Satan.

Then some item decided to ruin my day and I'm trying to figure out which item it was.
Apparently its effect would be that whenever one gets hit there would be a chance to get teleported to a seemingly random room, regardless of your HP.

Now I don't know anymore which items exactly I had, but I did check them during the run and most of them were "old" items anyway.
My trinkets were Petrified Poop and Left Hand, I doubt those played a role.

So, which item/mechanic could have caused that?


texts: Are synthetic empires at disadvantage at land warfare?

texts:
The "Synthetic Dawn" DLC added the ability to play as a robot empire and changed many technologies and traits to match the "Synthetic" theme. Has the same been done to the land warfare?

If you look at the wiki page you will see that all the armies type (clone, genetic warriors, slaves, xenomorphs) are organic in nature, there is only one pure robotic army. On top of that, you can make your organic specie "strong" (or "very strong") giving all your armies +20/+40% damage - robots have no such traits. So organic empire can build Gene warriors (which seems to be unavailable to syntetics) that already deals almost twice the regular army damage AND boost it by 40% by making those warriors from "very strong" subspecies.

So, are robotic empires in disadvantage when it comes to land warfare? Can they unlock other, more powerful armies, or maybe can they use the special organic ones?

texts: How can one deal with tribal, pagan vassals

texts:
I started my first game with the Charlemagne DLC in 796. I am playing as a Frankish Count and trying to suck up to the King so he would grant me a Duchy. It sort of worked, but not until after he won a Holy War on the Saxon pagans. He granted me a Duchy in Saxony with 3 pagan, tribal vassals.

20 years later and three revolts later, I've managed to convert all 3 provinces to 'majority' catholic and replace one pagan with a Catholic sycophant vassal. However, his holding is terrible and I'm strapped for cash having to call levies out all the time to fight revolts to a stalemate – they have dynastic and marital allies, but I have none I can call and can't call any religious cohorts as it's an uprising and not a holy war. The other two uprisings I've had to end by assassination of the leaders. This could gradually end my pagan problem, but I don't think I'll be able to keep pace.

I can't demand conversion directly as they hate me, and they hate me because they won't convert. I can't leverage my catholic vassal in pagan lands because he has 'wrong holding type' penalties on taxes and levies.

What can I do to turn this burden into a blessing and continue conquering the world?


texts: Marrying my Dynasty into a Duchy and Becoming it's New Liege

texts:
I'm going to make this fairly specific, but it's a situation that will probably be familiar to many people. I'm a king (The Petty King of Ulster, used to be the Earl of Ulster) and after my first wife died I married the Duchess of Normandy. To achieve that I got betrothed to her, and then had her older sister killed. We then had one daughter before she died. Her liege lord is the King of England (one of my allies).

My idea is to marry one of my grandsons (from my first wife) to my daughter, the Duchess of Normandy. Will their son become my vassal rather than the vassal of England? Because this is my goal with the whole thing. I really want to expand my kingdom outside Ireland.

I've had a bad habit of killing them off (Unrelenting force over the cliff, so sorry Lydia) and not realizing it, but I prefer to just continue on and not reload from a save.

At some point, if I kill them all off (on acccident, of course), will I run out of people who will offer to follow me?

texts: How to create 'endless' tower in Little Big Planet 2?

texts:
In Little Big Planet 2's story, there's a level where you crawl up a tree in a caterpillar.

Here's a video of the level and how it's built: LittleBigPlanet 2 Sequencer Demo Gamescom 2010

I'm trying to get my head around this for some hours now. How do I use emitters to emit level-'chunks' at the right position and time to give the illusion of an endless level?

I tried using contact sensors, destroyers and emitters to create a copy of a block at a given position and destroy the latest at the same time, but this seems to create a non-valid recursion and is stopped after about 4 or 5 chunks.

Any hints on this would be awesome.

PS: There are also some other levels by the community which create such an endless 'tunnel'. One such level is "CyberSatra" by "L1ghtmare".


texts: Using Minecraft execute command to test for players near coordinates

texts:
I have been trying to test if a player is at specific coordinates using this command in a command block:

execute as @a[x=-166,y=4,z=-120,distance=3] run say cool

But nothing happens when I trigger it. If I take the distance=3 part out it works even if I'm not at the coordinates stated.

What I'm doing wrong?


texts:
I started playing this for the DA2 unlocks, and have quite enjoyed it.

Does anyone know why the abilities on my party members randomly change?

Derant, for example, the mage, had 3 abilities in the last version and now only has 2. I noticed that the ranger rogue Antor has lost 2 abilities since the last update.

Is this just game balancing? Are there any update notes anywhere?

How exactly do those flowers work?

texts: Is the WoW experience fundamentally different if I've started playing in 2014?

texts:
I just bought the game yesterday and started playing for the first time. I have all the expansions up to Mists of Pandaria included by default. What I can't understand is whether things are different for me right from the get-go because of events in the expansion packs.

For example, a certain town called Auberdine was supposed to be a questing location for my night elf druid character, but for me that town is destroyed as a result of events from Cataclysm and I instead quest at a nearby town on the coast named Lor'danel.

I am playing basically the same quests, regardless of the superficial changes, right? Given that I have not "experienced" the plot of the expansions yet, it is confusing that I can see their effects already on the world, because I'm not there yet in the story.

Also, this also means that, in this case, there is literally no way now for me to ever experience the original Auberdine, the way it was before the expansions, right? I, and every other new person will always be sent to that other town instead.

How this works out in World of Warcraft is confusing to me and I was hoping someone can offer some perspective.


texts: Is the determination of which tetris block comes next random?

texts:
This is a question I've had since I first played this game, maybe twenty years ago. I would say that it is random, given the nature of the game. However in my experience; the O-blocks never come alone (after you get one, the chance of getting another seems more likely). I also feel that you get the I tetromino just after you made a mistake.

I've been googling this for quite some time and haven't found a conclusive answer. Can somebody please help me? I've only played the game on the original Gameboy.


texts:
I'm working my way through Act 4 Nightmare as a Demon Hunter and I came across a quiver that, when equipped, would increase my damage by about 160 damage per second. This would be fine and all but when I compare it to the shield that I'm carrying I see that none of the quiver's stats are better, at all.

Do demon hunters get bonuses of any kind from carrying a quiver, or are the character stat screens inaccurate/unreliable for determining whether a piece of equipment is better or worse?


texts: What's a good way to make a health bar using the bossbar command (For multiplayer pursposes)

texts:
I want to use the bossbar command to create a health bar for the players (each seeing ONLY their own health). So I came to the conclusion that there are two main ways to do so:

This is the best but is single player only:

Create scoreboard called "health" linked to the player's health
Create bossbar called "health"
Run command /execute as @a store result bossbar minecraft:health value run scoreboard players get @s health

This way the bossbar will always be equal in value to your health, but as mentioned, it doesn't work on more than one player. However, it uses only 1 command block.
This one is a pain to do but runs on multiplayer:

Create scoreboard called "health" linked to the player's health
Create bossbars equal to the amount of health you need it for (in this case the standard 20 HP)
Give each bossbar a respective value from 1-20
Use the command /execute as @a[scores={health=x}] run bossbar set healthx players @s (x being the amoun of health the bossbar is linked to.)

It's a complete pain as it needs lots of bossbars and 1 command block per health value.

So I wonder, is it possible to have a simple solution (like n°1) that works on multiplayer (like n°2)?


texts: What is the detriment to using too-heavy weapons and armor and does it scale?

texts:
According to the Pixel Dungeon Wiki, using weapons that are too heavy makes them slower to swing and less likely to hit, and using armor that is too heavy makes you slower to move and less likely to dodge.

Just how bad is this detriment? Does it scale with the difference between your strength and the item's requirement? (For example, with 13 strength, am I less likely to hit with an 18-strength warhammer than a 14-strength mace or is the detriment the same for both?)

It is possible to hide those Dolyaks by using some skills such as Shadow Refuge. I know that, for the team owning the Dolyak, the icon will remain on the map. But do the two other teams are still able to see this icon while the Dolyak is invisible ?

I am finding it common practice in this game to set your initial time back a bit to get through the tutorial sections faster so you can get into the game.

texts: Are there any blacksmiths or enchanters for hire?

texts:
My current character in Skyrim has got essentially zero Smithing and Enchanting skill. It would still be great to be able to upgrade or enchant items, or even create some items, like dragon armour. In particular, I would really like to upgrade some magical daggers I use but I can't because I don't have the right perk. Non-enchanted daggers I can at least upgrade a little bit.

I haven't found anyone who can smith or enchant on demand, but are there any such characters in Skyrim anywhere? It's a big world and I could have missed them. I wouldn't mind paying handsomely for such items (e.g. it would make sense that I wouldn't be able to sell it for more than I paid for it).

If the answer is negative (boo) then are there any mods that provide this mechanic?

Note that I'm not sure if mods go against the 'no game recommendations' rule. If so, I (or you!) can edit my question to remove this.

texts:
I've just started playing Darkest Dungeon, and I had no idea what was going on. I somehow managed to win a mission with all 4 heroes being stressed out (paranoid etc.), but given the way the previous mission went, that means that every available healer I have is over the stress threshold and starts to stress out all other party members from the moment we enter the dungeon.

This seems to have started a kind of feedback loop where I can't possibly hope to finish a dungeon without multiple new characters becoming overly stressed. It doesn't look like there's any hope of ever putting together a coherent non-stressed party again. Should I just start the game over since it's so early? What are my viable options for getting back into a playable state?

texts: Why isn't parental controls blocking gameplay on days it should be blocked?

texts:
Tl;dr: I'm looking for instructions for/how to fix the Xbox One parental controls setup to make that my kid require to ask for more screen time rather than setting a time limit / schedule allowed time.

I don't know how but all the members of my Microsoft Live Family were removed, so this Monday I added them again, and repeated the procedure to setup the parental control on the console including locking the creation of new accounts and setting up a guest key.

The setup for Monday, time limit 4 hours, from 4 pm to 8 pm, work fine.

The setup for yesterday (Tuesday, as well as other days of the week) was blocked the whole day and I was expecting that my kid send me a "more screen time" request but they were able to play without sending it.

How do I fix this?

The following screenshot was taken from the Screen Time Settings for my kid on the web.

On the family there are other two child accounts with the exact same settings.
On the console my account is set to require a password / access key to join.

I already tried to fix this by changing from "Blocked" to "Max Schedule" but that didn't work either.

Progress

Today (Friday, September 6), while my kid is at school, it's working fine. Maybe there was a failure on the Microsoft side and someway it was fixed. Anyway, I will keep the console controls away my kid at study / rest time, at least until this works as expected for a while.

Today (Thursday, September 5) I found that the console had an account that it's not part of the family, also that the restrictions for no one signed-in was un restricted, then I figured out that the guest key wasn't in place so I added a guest key again, removed the account that isn't part of the family and changed the no one signed-in to restricted.

Maybe I forgot to sign-out and my kid used my account to change the settings.

I also found a similar recent post (August 30, 2019) on Microsoft Community

XBox One Screen Time restricitions no long work

No fix yet.

texts: Are all of Terramorphous' Class Mod drops the same?

texts:
When farming Terramorphous last night we found that he exclusively dropped orange Class Mods with nearly identical effects (he dropped other loot, but the orange loot was always a single mod, every time). All of these had +4 to 6 different skills, and +20% to 25% Burn damage and Burn Effect Chance, and + some amount of max health.

These mods are really fairly useless, aside from the skill bonus. They're okay for Siren (still sub-par burn %s however) but do they really only drop Burn Damage or did we get an unlucky batch? I saw Gunzerker, Assassin and Siren mods. The 2 Siren mods were identical, and the non-siren mods all had the burn chance and health bonuses.


texts: What do percentages mean on a BF3 server description?

texts:
I am a bit behind the curve, and just started playing BF3. I played BFBC2, and liked it, and enjoy what I see so far in BF3.

The new server setup confuses me though. Since it appears that there are no more 'standard' servers (think BC2 or even most other games on the xbox like Halo or CoD), you can see a list of all of these 'public' shared servers, with odd descriptions.

One thing I noticed a lot through them was people saying '500% on [map name]'. I was very unsure of what this meant.

I was in an awesome match last night, and after dying once, I was kicked. I had no clue what for. Because I had just selected 'quick match' I was unsure of any server rules. I would like to understand what hosts are meaning by their description.

I only chose one role (damage) because that's what I am.
I chose "any dungeon" which had the option of about 6 different ones.
I resumed playing the game while "in queue" under "Group" menu item.
I'm on PS4.

So is Group Finder not working yet? did I do something wrong in the options? or did I just get unlucky with the wait time? or is this standard wait time?

texts: How do elemental damage buffs work with non-explicit skill runes?

texts:
On my Crusader, i'm wearing some pieces of armor that add elemental bonus damage to certain skills (in this case, 19% holy damage, and 16% lightning damage). I understand that when a skill or skill rune explicitly states "damage turns into holy", like on Sweep Attack's Gathering Sweep rune, that will be affected by a buff to Holy elemental damage.
However, for other skills, there aren't clear indications like this. For example:

These skill runes have what appears to be a "holy" and "lightning" image behind them, similar to the Gathering Sweep rune, but don't explicitly state that their damage turns into holy or lightning.
So, are skill runes that do not explicitly state their elemental damage, but still have an image LIKE an element, affected by elemental bonus damage?

Is there any way to disable these sounds, or at least modify them to sound less frightening?


texts: How to delete multiple save files in Xcom2 on the PS4?

texts:
In my current campaign I don't shy away from save-scumming.

On the PS4, I am only allowed to have 100 save files. In order to delete old ones, I have to select each entry in the savegame list and hit delete for each entry. This is a bit tedious, esp. since the deletion of one savegame takes a while.

Is there a way to bulk-delete old save-games?

texts:
So I have never actually even tried to go into Hardmode yet, for the simple reason that I've never truly felt fully prepared for the challenges that await me once I enter the Hardmode World...coupled with nostalgia for my old world, but setting that aside...

What should a player have before they enter Hardmode?  How much of the map should be explored before they enact this permanent map change?  What essential resources should the player concern themselves with preserving before the transformation?

In short, how should I prepare for Hardmore?

Important Note - I do not need help preparing for the Wall of Flesh.  I already know that I need a battle platform stretching the length of Hell and I have the gear to fight it, I am more worried about preparing the entire rest of my world.


texts: Can't connect to LAN server on Minecraft

texts: Me and my brother have been tying to step up a LAN to play minecraft. I have a mac running Mac OS X and he is using  a pc running window's 7. We have tried with him creating the LAN world and when I try to automatically it gives a message that it has 'time out' and when I do Direct connect it fails and gives a message 'connection refused'. When I host the game and he does direct connected it gives the same message. We are both running the same version. Anyone have any ideas ???

texts: What is the most efficient way to reach the Armor Rating cap?

texts:
What is both the most efficient way to reach the cap of 85% physical damage reduction (567 Armor)?

Can it be reached without smithing/enchanting perks? Is it more efficient to not get some smithing or enchanting perks and just get heavy armor perks? Or is there some combination of crafting and heavy armor perks that gets to 567 armor with a smaller investment of perk points?

For purposes of this question, most efficient is defined as the smallest possible amount of perks used to acquire the stated physical damage reduction, passively - i.e. without popping pots (temporary) or using extra buffs from stones, blessings, or +Heavy Armor skill enchants (to keep those slots on equipment free for other enhancements).  Also, any skill used to achieve this can be assumed to be leveled to 100 (for example Heavy Armor could be assumed to be already leveled to 100).

texts: Is it dangerous to run tall rides in a thunderstorm?

texts:
In the real world, when there is a thunderstorm at an amusement park, all rides except for flat rides close down for safety, to prevent anyone from getting hurt in a freak lightning strike, and also to prevent the ride from breaking down in the rain, simply because most amusement rides were not designed to run in the rain.

Do these weather concerns hold true in Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 as well, or is a temporary decrease in popularity the only effect of weather?

texts:
Executioner Smough is a boss in Dark Souls.  It's unclear how to pronounce this name, because both "ou" and "gh" have multiple pronunciations in English.

Based on official sources, what is the correct way to pronounce "Smough"?


texts: Connecting to a Minecraft Server that is used for Hamachi networking but is local to me?

If I create and install the Minecraft Server Jar on an older desktop computer, that will act as a "dedicated" Server PC, and port the Server to be used by my friends via the Hamachi VPN, would I still be able to connect to said Server, that is located on my local network, even though the Hamachi VPN IP Address is being used in the Server Config File?

Long Story Short

What I want to know is, if I have a Server running on a seperate computer on my local network, but has been configured to be used on Hamachi networking, would I still be able to access the Server from another computer on the same local network, but not on the Hamachi VPN?

texts: How to create a countdown timer that triggers an event on ending?

texts:
I found one article to set up a simple timer and that works fine. But Im trying to get something to execute when it gets to 0. Here is what I have so far:
I run this one time to create the timer variable:
scoreboard objectives add timerObjective dummy "Timer Objective"
scoreboard players set nonexistenuser timerObjective 100
scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar timerObjective

I then create a command block that runs every 20 ticks (1 second) to decrement the timer:
scoreboard players remove @a timerObjective 1
execute @a[name=nonexistenuser,scores={timerObjective=0}] ~ ~ ~ fill 1049 1 1050 1001 49 1049 air

This does count down from 100 and I can see it in the display it shows the score for user nonexistentuser. But when it hits 0 it does not execute the command because there is no actual player called nonexistentuser. If I replace name with my own ID it works because I am an actual player. I tested the command manually and found the selector @a[name=nonexistenuser,scores={timerObjective=0}] returns no targets even though I can see the score for this "player" in the display. So is there some other way I can create a simple countdown timer that does something at the end?


texts: KSP Mods not loading after manual install win7

texts:
Manually installing KSP mods by unziping them into a KSP GameData folder is not working for me. Does anyone understand why this would be? As I understand it, you unzip the mod and drop its mod directory into GameData to look like this. And then restart KSP.

I installed both KerbalEngineer and MechJeb2 and neither worked. I used ckan.exe to reinstall KerbalEngineer and it worked, but I would rather install these plugins manually. KSP is a Steam managed ver 1.11.1.3066.
If I inspect GameData  with cigwin terminal the KerbalEngineer dir that ckan.exe installed looks exactly the same as what I had previously put there manually. Take a look at the md5sum checksums of the files from the unzip and the files that CKAN put in GameData.  They are the same files. Does anyone get what is failing or know how to debug this ?

My question is if there is a workaround to this problem or if there is an alternative to the traditional VPN to allow people to join no problem. Thanks,

I keep getting told that science tells us to use highway sound barriers and trees to reduce noise pollution. The effect that highway sound barriers has is quite immediately obvious but no matter how many trees I plant there never appears to be any noticeable effect on noise pollution.

The Cities: Skylines Wiki states:

  A high level of noise pollution reduces land value and citizen happiness. Planting trees and creating roads with trees blocks noise.

This is similar wording to the tutorial tips in game however planting trees seems to have no effect on noise.

How great is the effect of trees on noise pollution?


texts:
I ask because I'm having issues. I tried the obvious space saving measure of having water/power/sewage on one city and zoning and developing more another city. It worked for quite a while, but now for some reason the city I play more in is lacking power. It says there are 98MW available from the neighboor city, but it's buying 88. On the producer city, I have ~300MW spare, which it recognises, also saying it's selling 88MW.

How should I go about increasing the amount transfered? Is it true that there is a 100MW cap, evenly spread between eatch city in a microregion (The ones connected to each other)?
Would just waiting on each of the cities solve this? Is there any sign showing the city was synced? Is there a log somewhere?
Will this work properly if playing offline?

I ask that this not be marked duplicate, I read the thread at Can't buy power from neighboring city the top voted answer just gives up while the second guy says it's all evenly spread.

I'm playing Dark Souls 1 and since I know that in Dark Souls 2 you can re-spec your character using a Soul Vessel, I was wondering whether there is a similar item in Dark Souls 1.

Is it possible to reset the points I spent in my character's attributes and place them on different attributes?

In case this shouldn't be possible, how much sense is there in changing my character's build? I'm currently playing Paladin like (Heavy armor, 1-hand/2-handy swords and some miracles). I'm currently at level 45 and I wish I had spent more points in sorcery in order to be able to cast some damage spells or enchant my weapon. This similar question doesn't quite answer the question I have. Will I destroy my build when I try to make a knight/sorcerer hybrid at Level 45?

texts:
In Pokémon Stadium (mostly 1, but also 2) I have played around with save-states a bit.

It seems that in the battles where both I and the AI select 3 out of 6 Pokémon for battle, the AI is affected by my choices, both in terms of which 3 Pokémon it chooses, and in which one is sent out first.

In theory, the AI should not "know" which 3 Pokémon I chose.

Is there any relationship between my choices and that of the AI, or am I just imagining things?

I'm at the point in Assassin's Creed where I try to assassinate Robert de Sable on the cemetary in Jerusalem, but he notices that I am among the crowd and ambushes me with his men. I am having a hard time with that fight, it is far harder than the previous fights I got into.

I am constantly attacked by archers while I'm busy defending myself against the templar knights. The melee enemies are also pretty tough, I often fail parrying or counter-attacking them even when getting the timing right.

Any tips on how to win this fight? How do I prevent the archers from killing me and what do I need to know to effectively fight the templar knights?


texts:
I've just bought CK2 and apparently a recent patch has invalidated most if not all walkthroughs. For instance, the Ireland start does not work anymore because you need 51% instead of 50% to create a duchy.

Lacking that, the preferred way to expand apparently is war. But I've tried a few times in Ireland, and also in southern Italy. Doesn't matter: defeat is unavoidable. In Ireland I just get stuck in a stalemate without any gains. In Italy my army was wiped out by a family member rebelling, even though he held only a single county with ~1000 troops and I sent in everything (~2500 troops). Despite that, I lost all my troops and he lost 69 or so.

Plotting hasn't achieved anything either, nor marriage. In fact the only positive change in territory I've ever seen was when I started in Dublin, since that sets you up to inherit from your father.

The war tutorial is less than helpful. It has Argyll with less soldiers than a single barony in the real normal game. No wonder that works.

So, is there a intelligent solution to expand? Picking just the right initial leader with enough internal stability and sufficient armies to beat up much, much, smaller neighbours? Wait several hours more and get lucky with marriage?

(Yeah, I'm aware this does sound like I'm quite unhappy. First and last Paradox game I bought. Spent 12 hours so far just in the game, without a single feel of achievement or having learnt something. That's a first in 300 games I've played over the years)

texts: How is the race score determined in multiplayer?

texts:
I was playing some multiplayer races in Trials: Evolution last night and noticed that sometimes the score at the end of the race would be adjusted down.

What I can't figure out is how this negative adjustment is calculated. It looks like I get negative points for every fault on the course, but then those points don't seem to correspond to the final score.

For example, in one race I ended up with 8 faults and my opponent ended up with 9, so we went into scoring with -8 and -9, but then both our race scores went down by -8. Another time, I had -1 and my opponent had -7, so our scores were adjusted by -1 and -6 respectively.

I can't seem to figure out the pattern here. How are these points determined? Is it affected by who wins the race?

texts: Security issues for Minecraft server on Time Capsule

texts:
I'm running a public Minecraft server (public ip) from my Time Capsule.
Could someone get disk access if they figured out the password, or knew my IP and I had a Time Capsule?

The server is running in a virtual Ubuntu machine. I gave out the public ip for the virtual machine.

My questions are:
If they found out the password would they be able to access the virtual machine or my computer?

Would it be more secure if I used Mineos or Ubuntu server?

I heard that hosting a Minecraft server is super secure from the official Minecraft forum.
Is that true?

texts: Are Fighting-type moves viable against Snorlax?

texts:
Knowing that Fighting type moves are super effective against Snorlax, we might choose them. But since Fighting type Pokemons have low HP, we might choose other type of Pokemons with Fighting moves.

However, is it true that, even though with Type Effectiveness considered, say, for a Rhydon:

Rock Smash     DPS 10.6 x 1.25 = 13.25    (x 1.25 for type effectiveness)
Mud Slap       DPS 13.9 (with STAB)

So it really is not so useful to choose fast fighting moves to fight against Snorlax. I checked all 3 fast fighting moves: Karate Chop, Low Kick, and Rock Smash, and Rock Smash is already the most powerful of all 3.  So in the case of Rhydon, it really is more effective to choose a Rhydon with Mud Slap than Rock Smash to fight against a Snorlax.

Actually, to have a good fighting charge move, we need Cross Chop (the other two fighting charge moves Brick Break and Low Sweep have low DPS). But for Cross Chop, it is only for: Primeape, Machamp, Machop, Machoke, Mankey, and Psyduck. So if we can't choose fighting type Pokemons due to low HP, and Psyduck has low HP and we can't choose it either, so we can really just forget about fighting type moves altogether?

Is the logic / reasoning mentioned above correct or is anything missing?


texts: What's the most damage you can do in a single attack?

texts:
What's the most damage a single attack could do (theoretically) with maxed out stats (level 9,999, relevant attack stat(s) at 9,999,999 points), beneficial item innocents, a max-level skill ect? I know anything that does even 1 billion damage will kill any enemy (normally) but I'm curious as to how high the numbers will go.

Is this something that can/has been calculated? I know I've seen the damage indicator go into the billions at least, so I also wonder if the max damage is capped at say 9,999,999,999 in one hit or if it's limited by the actual amount of damage feasable due to normal game mechanics.


texts: I've decided to play more melee characters lately, and have been trying Okawaru for my god so far. However, I'm not quite sure what is considered a powerful monster for gaining piety through sacrificing corpses (or for just killing 'em too, but I have a kill em all playstyle lately so that's kind of irrelevant). I'd like to be able to determine which corpses are better used for food, and which ones can get me to the point of getting those sweet sweet god gifts sooner.

texts: What does the 4MB N64 Expansion Pak do for Rainbow Six?

texts:
It is an odd curiosity of mine. It says

  Designed for N64 Expansion Pak

on the box, but I can't find the answer on Google. Does anybody know what the game uses the Expansion Pak for?


texts: How do I easily move a complex structure?

texts:
I have assembled a rather complex structure in Fallout 4 but needs to move the entire thing.  It consists of multiple parts.  The hardest part is that once I move pieces of it and place them down, higher up pieces cannot be placed due to something else blocking it.

How do I move large, complex structures without pulling all my hair out?


texts: What is the most effective ratio of defenses in Endless Space?

texts: Endless Space has a roshambo combat system with beam, kinetic, and missile weapons and their corresponding defenses. What is the idea ratio of these defenses based on the typical AI opponents? I seem to see a great many beam weapons employed by the midgame with kinetics early on but rarely missiles and yet the Auto-Build likes to put Chaff on my ships for some reason. Is this just something I'll have to get a feel for?


texts: Is honoring people in a premade group pointless?

texts: Is there any point to honor the friends I play with at the end of every League game?  It seems like the system would be totally broken if those 'points' counted just the same as those from multiple, random partners.  Does the system just discount their worth heavily, or into oblivion?


texts:
Is there a way to keep the FOV (Field of View) constant in the PC version of the game?

I really don't like how the FOV and mouse sensitivity varies when the character is running, and if possible would like to disable it completely.


texts: Final Fantasy 15 Archive missing from Main Menu

texts:
When I go to the main menu for some odd reason I don't see the archive option under photos, this is what I see (the red circle is where the archive option is supposed to be):

Is there any reason why that might be missing?


texts: Resistance Order with a empty slot won't accept order. What am I doing wrong?

texts:
Here is a screenshot to explain the situation:

When I try to drag those available orders to the empty slot (red arrows) they won't move and make a bip sound like "can't do it".

There is no explanation why it won't accept. I don't know what to do.

What am I doing wrong?
