texts: What is an effective strategy for farming yellow+ drops?

texts:
At what point in the game do yellow drops become more common. Currently I am finding them mostly from bosses like the Skeleton King and that is about it. It would seem that these items are generally worth more (gold wise) and may be worth farming to build up my bank a bit for leveling my crafters and/or stash size.

Do yellow items become more common as I become a higher level? Should I focus on just running bosses over and over again? Where should I expend my effort?

(Please note I assume that Magic Find assists with this as well so no need to touch on that part of a potential answer :))

  Getting started with StarCraft II

I'm just getting into StarCraft 2 and I'm finding it really difficult to stay organized and on top of things. Does anyone have some basic advice for the complete beginner? Maybe a good build to start me off? I play Terran for the moment, as I'm still on the started edition.

As of now, I'm trying to follow Day[9]'s "Mental Checklist", which is essentially:

Keep Minerals Low
Watch Food Cap
Train SCVs
Train Units
Build Buildings
Repeat...

And my basic build order is something along the lines of:

Supply
Rax
Gas
Marine
Orbital

So far, I've played two games against an Easy AI (TvT and TvP) on Normal speed, and won both, as well as a game against a more experienced friend of mine (TvZ), in which I did really well in the beginning, but due to the fact that I didn't realize he could stealth his units, I got squashed.

I bought Empire Earth - Gold Edition on GOG last night, assuming that it would work on Windows 8. Every time I load in, I get maybe 30 seconds in the various menu screens, before the whole thing locks up for reasons I can't understand.

I've made sure I'm using my nVidia graphics card, not the integrated Intel one. I've installed the NeoEE patch, tried changing the rasterizer, setting it to not wait for vsync, tried compatibility settings, restarted my machine, uninstalled and reinstalled, tried running it using the 3D-Analyser, but it still just freezes on the menu screen. I tried deleting the DirectX dll files, but then it just causes the entire thing to crash when AOC is launched. Every other problem I see when searching is about graphics issues, or the game just crashing as soon as it is launched.

Please tell me there is a solution for this menu freezing. As it stands, I can't even start a game without the entire thing locking up.

After slaughtering a bunch of goblin invaders, the dwarfs promptly piled up their corpses in my refuse pile.

Fast-forward a few seasons and the corpses decomposed to the point where only their skeletons remain. Being low on ammunition at the moment I decided to put those goblin bones to good use and make bone bolts out of them, like I sometimes do with cows and kittens.

Trouble is, the dwarfs refuse to make bolts because they need "unrotten bone body parts". But I have more than two dozen skeletons outside!

Can I use those bones or not? If that is possible, how can I get the dwarfs to make nice goblin bone bolts, so they can take out the next wave of besiegers with the goblin's own ancestors?

texts: Are 1-Ups any good as rewards in Super Mario Maker 2?

texts:
I'm looking to reward the players of levels I make in Super Mario Maker 2 for finding secret areas, getting past difficult sections, etc.

In the original Super Mario Brothers series (Super Mario Brothers 3, Super Mario World, etc) the subjectively "best" reward was a 1-Up Mushroom, granting an extra life. Coins might be a second best as they granted points, and 100 coins would be a 1-Up.

In Super Mario Maker 2, from what I can tell, 1-Up Mushrooms have no value:  When I play courses locally through the "Play" option I haven't seen any counter for lives, and so getting an extra life seems to have no value (they're effectively infinite)

Do 1-Up mushrooms have any value in in Super Mario Maker 2? If not, what are good "rewards" to place in secret / difficult to find areas? What do players value and try to find?

texts: Need help in command to remove item from inventory

I have a small server with my friends, and we want to remove mending from play. I was thinking it will be easy now to just place a command block which looks on players inventory and removes enchantment books with mending on it.
But I can't create that command, I was trying this various:
/clear Excidium minecraft:enchanted_book{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:Mending"}]}
/clear Excidium minecraft:enchanted_book{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:Mending",lvl:1}]}
/clear Excidium minecraft:enchanted_book{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:Mending",;lvl:1s}]}
clear Excidium minecraft:enchanted_book{StoredEnchantments:[{id:mending,lvl:1}]} 1

And nothing happened.
When I use the command /give Excidium minecraft:enchanted_book{StoredEnchantments:[{id:mending,lvl:1}]} 1 to give myself a book with mending, then I can remove it from the bag. But when the mending book is from another source like villager, chest, fishing, ect, the command doesn't work. The mending book is still in the inventory.

texts: Which factors influence the gold gained from mercenary quests?

texts:
I used to skip gold quests for mercenaries for a long time, except when starting a new ascension to get a quick boost.

I always played the active style, but recently I decided to check if it would help to go on idle by buying the idle ancients and upgrading them to levels where they used about 1-3% of my total Hero Souls. The damage done was too low to notice when the idle mode kicked in, so I continued in my active style.

But now I suddenly get a bit more gold then I have at that moment from mercenaries, where I previously got about xE15 lower.

Probably one or more of the following ancients have some great influence on the gold gained from mercenary quests:

Libertas (gold related)
Nogardnit (gold related)
Siyalatas

What is the actual calculation for the gold gained from mercenary quests?

Some information about my game:

Mercenary levels: 15-25
Tested at levels: 8000-8100
Gold at the moment of collecting: xE636
Gold gained from the mercenary: xE637-xE638
Gold gained form the mercenary before added ancients: xE622-xE625
I got 7 autoclickers clicking the field, 1 clicking the upgrade for Tsuchi
Level of Xyliqil: 0

I wrote these out of memory, exact gold amount may not be correct, but the actual differences between them are.

The wikia page didn't provided much info either.

I successfully installed Need For Speed: The Run and when configure my controls my Logitech G27 doesn't respond.

This questions got in my mind when I was watching the LoL World Championships. I do not know who it was, but one of the broadcasters made a statement like this:

  When playing on red side you always want to ban Alistar.

(Well, I'm not quite sure if it was when playing on red side or on blue side)

I have a decent knowledge about team composition but I did not really understand this statement. Even though it would be interesting to get the answer to such a specific question like "Why is Alistar regarded to be stronger at red side?", I want to ask a more general question instead:

Why are some champions considered to be better at blue/red side?

Even if this does not matter in Soloqueue, I do not see why the side you are playing on influences the strength of any champion.

I'm trying to find a way to make the Steam version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution (not the Director's Cut, I have the regular version, but can't obtain the url since it's been removed from the store) to let me enable Stereo 3D but not having any luck so far. I remember being able to turn it on briefly many years ago on a Windows 7 machine with GeForce 9800GT, it was real slow, but it worked. Now that I have a modern Windows 10 PC with a 2080 Super and Valve Index VR headset I wanted to try and to start it in Steam's Big Screen mode in side-by-side stereo 3D mode.
So far I've only found very old forum threads dating back to 2012-2014 mentioning older non-steam versions and special patches which are of no use today, and certain obsolete NVidia 3D Vision settings and Windows 7/8 -specific graphics settings which are not found in Windows 10. This old answer doesn't help also.

texts:
I have several Pidgeys, with different skill combinations:

Tackle 12 / Aerial Ace 25
Quick Attack 10 / Aerial Ace 25
Quick Attack 10 / Air Cutter 25
Quick Attack 10 / Twister 15

Note that 3 of them have a '25' value second move, while the last one is a '15' value Dragon type move. Also, Air Cutter and Aerial Ace have 4 blue bars after them while Twister has 5.

Do the bars or numbers represent the strength or charging speed of those skills? I thought maybe numbers after regular skills charge the special move bar at that rate, while the number after the special skills depletes the move bar.

The Rusty Dagger seems to require Lv5, the Bronze Sword Lv10, the Iron Hammer Lv15... But after this point the level requirements for the various equipment upgrades seem to stop following a predictable path.

A few other things I've managed to equip, but only after using an item that increases a character's EXP by 100,000. That gives a window of several dozen levels, which makes pinning down the requirements for some of the stronger equipment a pain.

Is there any way to tell exactly how much 'potential' a character has to have before a given piece of equipment can be equipped? Failing that, What are the level requirements of each piece of equipment?

Indeed, I still did not reach the shrine. However, further search gave me this walkthrough that says:

  The Spider Bandit can be fought after blooming the guardian sapling. The Devil Gate will be active after clearing Wawku Shrine.

Which means I can fight the spider, I have already bloomed the sapling... but I just can't dig my way down to the gate!

Any idea how I can dig this?

My Holy Roman Empire spans Western Europe from Iceland all the way to Mali and from Portugal all the way to the Caspian Sea. My dynasty has successfully reclaimed the Kingdom of Jerusalem and held it against invading Sunni hordes while defeating Slavic incursions into Western Poland and subjugating the Norsemen in Scandinavia. Not surprisingly, the greatest threat I face are my own vassals.

Having quickly assimilated many varied cultures into the HRE, I find myself constantly shelling out gold to disgruntled kings and dukes because I can't be Irish/Anglo-Saxon/Germanic/Lombard/Greek/Arabic/African/and so on and the -16 hit combined with a constant -25 for my heir being raised by whomever can do the best (not by culture) makes it difficult to make any progress financially.

The best way to fix this is to raise my Tolerance level in the Cultural Research track. However, even with my capital in Constantinople and 3 cities with maxed out universities, my spymaster grabbing research points in Damascus, and my chaplain hitting the books like crazy, I still only manage a meager 1.25 points per month.

Is there some way to speed things up a bit? It would be a lot easier to take all of Northern Africa and tackle Russia if I don't have to worry about hemorrhaging gold to my vassals.

texts: Control Games running on Windows over network (and use ESC key)

texts:
I have one (Windows 8.1) PC set up for gaming only, and I can control that for the most part using VNC from Linux. The problem is however that controling the mouse in games (Tested using Dragon Age: Origins and Deus Ex: Human Revolution) moves the mouse in 'blocks'. Instead of smoothly moving the mouse like on the desktop, it behaves as if there was a 'move camera 3cm to the left/right/up/down' command. How could I make the mouse move smoothly?

My second question would be why the ESC key does not work? I assume it is some sort of 'security' feature, but I kinda need it for menus to work (Win+X also does not work... ). Is there something I can do here?

The entire point of this is to use my Linux Laptop as a controller. I am using VNC currently as that was the easiest to set up, however I am open to using other programs (remember, they do not necessarily have to steam video to my laptop, just allow me to control the game running on the other computer).

texts: Do invading monsters increase the number of rewards in guild quests?

texts:
The amount of rewards you receive at the end of guild quests is determined by a complicated points system, where each monster has a certain number of points, and killing more difficult monsters gives you more points, which means more rewards.

This is the reason why quests involving rajang and deviljho are so popular, because they are both worth the most points for any non-elder dragon monster (and so you can pair them with something else, unlike with elder dragons which are always solo).

However, in guild quests that only have one monster (and have one invading "slot"), does the invading monster affect this point total? That is, if you kill a velocidrome (which normally gives very few rewards), but a deviljho invades and you kill it, will you get any extra guild quest rewards outside of the usual stuff you get from carving?

(By "rewards" in guild quests, I'm referring to things like relic weapons and armor, not the normal carves.)


texts: Is there a way to disable the Codex entry pop-ups in Mass Effect 3?

texts:
Whenever I stumble across a new Codex entry, the game throws up a big "Codex Updated" message in the bottom-right corner of the screen. It's moderately annoying and distracting as it takes up about 1/6 of the screen. I frequently just ignore the message anyway and catch up on my designated codex reading in big batches.

Is there a way to disable this pop-up?

I'm playing on Xbox 360 so mods/patches/whatnot won't work for me, although if such options exist, feel free to post them as I'm sure this "feature" annoys some PC users as well.

The image below is what the issue looks like on my TV. (Sorry for the terrible picture. It's hard to snap a photo with a controller in your hands!)


texts: How to make command block stop outputting signal?

texts:
I want to create a command block with the command

/clear @a[r=5,m=0] 570

(Yes, it is an ID from a mod, but it does not matter anything).
I want to detect when this command has succeeded using comparator facing from the command block.

So, everything works good, but the comparator after that is always outputting. How to make it stop outputtng, so the command success can be detected several times?

I tried to hook up the command block with /blockdata ~ ~ ~2 {SuccessCount:0} where the coordinates point at the first command block, but this didnt work.

I'm running Minecraft 1.7.10.


texts: How do I locate a black box for a black box retrieval mission?

texts:
I picked up a mission to retrieve a black box in a specific system, and I've gotten to that system, but now I'm at a lost as to what to do next. I've done some looking online which suggested to just do a discovery scan of the system and that should reveal it, but it didn't reveal one as far as I can tell. I also read I could go to the nav beacon as well, but when I go to the nav beacon nothing actually happens (although it's possible I'm not close enough).

I'm rather at a loss as to what to do next. How do I locate and then retrieve the black box for the mission I'm on?


texts:
I know that the Mass Effect 2 ending varies depending on the choices you make. I have a few questions about a specific aspect of the ending:

   The survival of your crew depends on whom you choose for certain parts of the suicide mission.

   1. Only the doctor was saved from the Collector base. Was it possible to save the rest of the crew if I had reached there earlier? Like, not trying to complete the squad and heading there the moment the Omega 4 relay was open?

   2. At the last bit of the suicide mission, where you go in to blow up the place, you can choose only two members to accompany you (as usual). The rest stay back to keep the bad guys out. For me, at the end of the game, Miranda and Thane kicks the bucket. But who dies is different for different people. But what affects that? We dont get to choose who stays behind to provide cover. So why is it different for different people?

texts: Can I copy "not-on-PSN" games from PC back to my Vita?

texts:
There was an odd "glitch" a while back where all PSP and PSX digital games were "authorized" to download on the PS Vita. They all work, but some aren't available normally such as Spyro and Crash. I downloaded several of these due to the glitch, and would like to keep them.

I normally offload all my games to my PC and delete them from the Vita if I need more space on my memory card since I can copy them back over. But with these "unauthorized" (for Vita--I own these games) ones I'm not sure what happens if I copy to PC, delete and then try to copy them back. Will I be able to copy and play these games? I hope so, but I don't really want to try it myself.

texts:
I use PMDG 737-800 NGX and have recently run into a problem that occurs on all my flights.

I us the autoland system, no problem, flare arms without rollout then I disengage autopilot, touch down, use reversers to 60kts, apply manual braking.
As far as I know, I haven't done anything wrong.

Then, as I come to about 30kts, the brakes stop working altogether including my parking brake; I just keep rolling. The only way I have been able to stop from this point onwards in about 10 flights is by using reversers again.

I've looked online and found no solution to this, please help!
Thanks in advance.


texts: Any way to change the keyboard layout in Typing of the Dead? Or how to type a "#"

texts:
I recently read this:

http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2005/08/mavis-beacon-ate-my-brain.html

I installed the game and having been playing it (awesome game!). I already know how to touch type, but I'm going through the tutorials anyway. The tutorials show a keyboard layout that doesn't match mine. That alone wouldn't be a problem (as I said, I already know how to touch type) but it makes it impossible to type #. In the keyboard pictured, the # appears just to the left of the Enter key instead of above the 3. And during the tutorials, it doesn't register when I type Shift-3 (it shows the British pound sign there when I press Shift). There doesn't seem to be any way to type a #.

I guess it thinks I have a different key layout than I do (a British standard keyboard?). Anyway, is there any way to change it to my standard US PC keyboard layout?

If not, is there at least some combination of keys I can press so that the game will register #?

texts: How can I avoid / combat / eliminate boarding parties?

texts:
UPDATE 3/5/19: Apparently my troubles were common enough that a recent patch provided some much needed clarity and relief (somewhat) from boarding parties.

I am new to Genesis Alpha One but I've already completed a few "longer" games (10+ crew, preparing for Genesis, never completed). Unfortunately, every run ends the same way, with a boarding party of either Framen or Mechanics ruining everything.

Apologies if I'm missing something simple here, the game is also pretty new so I am having trouble finding even basic info about mid-to-end-game mechanics.

Questions:

Can you avoid being boarded?
When boarded, is there a way to "end" the encounter?
Is there a way to more efficiently track/fight a boarding party (as a captain) than just running around? I don't see any way to detect intruders via map or modules.

E.g. hearing the computer say "Lifeform detected" every 5 seconds doesn't  help, it just gives me anxiety, and "Corridor Damaged" doesn't narrow it down when I have 75+ corridors.

Context:

Just to be clear, I'm talking about the actual boarding parties, not when a few enemies appear via the Tractor Beam process.

Enemies just start appearing on my ship after a jump, and I've fought my way through 100+ a few times, jumping away from the system where I encountered them while I'm fighting. After a long time (15/20 minutes?) they seem to trickle out and stop boarding me, but the crew loss and ship damage are usually massive. I often lose all my crew, or just keep cloning and making turrets until I am out of resources (and then give up). If I survive long enough for the enemies to stop appearing all together, they inevitably come back after a few jumps.

Am I missing necessary modules? Using the wrong strategy? Or do I just need to not be so bad at this game?

texts:
I've been trying to get together a per player spawn setting mechanism and currently stuck on storing a position and player UUID together in a way where it's easily queryable and thus teleportable.
This is what i've tried so far:
/data modify entity 6f88f8eb-cfa3-44bf-a621-52b3e7d753e7 Pos set from storage game:player Spawn{target:'[{"selector":"@p"}]'}.location

That selector block is what isn't working. I need a way to get a selector working in that nbt search part.
if that's impossible something that drives the same functionality.
Also using a temp data storage would be acceptable if it's passable into that target based query :)
Storage game:player has the following contents:
{
    Spawn:[
        {
            location: [-39.89557466099629d, 66.0d, 42.25176377238329d],

texts: Which non-faction battleships have the best chance to get into an incursion fleet?

texts:
I've never flown in an incursion, but I'm thinking about trying it out in the near future. From what I've heard incursion fleets are rather picky about which ships they take, with rather expensive navy or pirate faction ships being preferred.

I don't want to risk a billion or more for trying it out, I'd like to try it in a common T1 battleship first. I haven't had any use for a battleship so far and haven't invested any significant amount of training into any specific race or weapon system at the BS size.

From what I understand so far, missile ships are not in favor and shield tanking is far more common than armor tanking in incursion fleets.

Which battleships are in demand for incursions? Which one should I learn to have a good chance of getting into incursion fleets?


texts: Is having a prison yard completely necessary?

texts:
I've gone through several iterations of prison design so far, and it seems the only need that ever gets satisfied in the Yard is Exercise. Can that need be fulfilled with the use of a weight bench or others objects, without having to send the prisoners outside? If I could get rid of my yard, without the prisoners suffering, I'd rather do that, which would save me some logistical headaches. If not, it's not a huge deal, but I'd like to get a little more creative with how I lay things out.

Speaking of weight benches, I've never actually seen an inmate use one directly, which I would assume looks like them standing over it. I have several in my existing yard, but they seem largely ignored. Any idea why this would be? Or is it that their presence is enough to fulfill the need?

The Witch Doctor is Male

Is there any difference, other than the visuals, of playing against the "proper" gender?
Are there any quests, equipment, or even NPC dialog that changes based on this? Or is it just an option available to players who want to play a champion of a certain gender?

Crossy road recently tickled my completionist bone, and I'm in the situation seen in the first attached screenshot - I've managed to collect all of the mascots save three - Andy Sum, Ben Weatherall, and Matt Hall.

Alright, so I've got the "Deadpool" Marvel game now.  I loaded it up for the first time, and it worked well, I started a game in the lowest difficulty (having never played before).  The starting cutscene played, but then the screen went dark. I still had the health bar, and the "Press w to get off your ass" message, and even the objective panel opened.  Yet other than those, the screen was pure black.  All the "voice" boxes were popping up, and I "got off my ass" but it stayed black.  I've restarted it three times, to the same effect.  I re-installed on the 3rd.  Anyone else have this problem, or want to help me out?  Any patch out there for this problem??

texts: Lego Movie game - 2nd controller configuration not being saved

texts:
I have been playing the Lego Movie game on my Windows 7 PC fine for a while. However, recently the 2nd player controller configuration is not getting saved.

Every time I go back to the control configuration, it says "no device selected". When I choose "change device", I am able to correctly add a device (i.e., the game goes detect the keyboard or gamepad), but when I accept and go back to configuration, it is back to "no device selected".

I can save video settings changes. I also tested whether the controller I was using for the 2nd player works for the 1st player, which it does and also gets saved properly. I tried running in Administrator Mode and it did not make a difference.

In other saved games, I can change the 2nd player controller and that works fine. In my saved game, I can change the 1st player controller and that works fine. But I am unable to change the 2nd player controller (even to keyboard, which does not save).

I was looking for some (perhaps corrupted) configuration file that I could delete.

I was told that, having only just started the game, I wasn't ready for Special Dungeons, with the implication that I would be defeated easily, rather than that I would be unable to explore them at all, as per Special Dungeons with special requirements.

Shrine of Spirits (Stamina: 10, Battles: 5),
Sky Prison-Mythical (Stamina: 50, Battles: 4), and
Shrine of Spirits-Expert (Stamina: 25, Battles: 5).

Tha last Normal Dungeon that I have faced is Dungeon of Darkness, with a New sub-Dungeon of "Moon Death Dragon" at Stamina: 3 and Battles: 5. So, it seems two difficulty indicators are Stamina and descriptors such as "Expert" and "Mythical". How can I tell when I'm ready for them?

texts: What is considered a matchmade game in LoL?

texts:
So recently (or maybe not recently, I just started playing again) Riot implemented a "Hextech crafting system". I'm still really confused how it works, but I managed to obtain another box besides the one that they gave me as intro-freebee. Now I think I need a key, but i don't know how to earn one. The article i posted in that link above says:

  Earn keys as rewards for winning any matchmade games or by purchasing them at the store for 125 RP. Keys unlock chests through Hextech Crafting.

But I don't know what a "matchmade" game is officially. This Q&A says:

  anything that uses the matchmaking system, so custom games are out, and that's it

but that doesn't help because I still don't know what the matchmaking system is. Aren't all games made by matching? if so, why didn't i receive keys for winning a normal-draft game? And I have RP but whats the point of spending it on this if i can just win it somehow?

Whenever I start Hades on Steam it asks whether I want to run the DirectX, Vulkan or 32-bit version. I always use the Vulkan version, and it would be great to not have to select this every time. Is there a launch option or something I can set to always run the Vulkan version?
One solution floating around is to move away the "x64" folder and rename the "x64Vk" to "x64", but people are reporting issues like the Steam overlay, achievements etc not working. Others are suggesting a launch option of "-vulkan", but that doesn't do anything as far as I can tell.

Can you help us? We're trying to create a LAN game from the latest snapshot of Minecraft. While in-game on my single player map, I selected "Open to LAN" but instead of giving me the LAN IP or my laptop's name, it gave me "localhost:12345" where 12345 is a random port.

My brother is on Windows 7 while I'm on a OS X Snow Leopard. We tried creating the single-player LAN server over at his laptop as well but he instead got his computer name as opposed to my "localhost". With all that said, we still can't seem to connect to each other. When he tries to connect to me, he gets a "Failed to connect" error. If I try to connect over to him, I will get the "Connecting" message for quite some time then a few minutes later, my Minecraft would crash.

Can anyone help us out? I know this should be on the minecraft forums but it's currently loading very very slowly on our network for some reason.

texts:
I've seen images of Aldrich on the internet, and he appears to be a relatively normal looking human, despite some malformations.

But in the opening sequence, he is just a mass of black sludge that flows out of a coffin. This mass also seems to contain bones like the Gel enemies from Bloodborne, but I am not sure.

Is there a reason for this?

Edit
Someone in Firelink told me that Aldrich (though I can't remember the phrasing) ate so many people that he bloated, but then turned soft like... some material that I cannot remember the word for. That being said,  how does eating people cause you to puff up and melt into a moving mass of self aware cannibalistic tar?


texts: In the Android version of Waking Mars, how do I launch seed pods while flying?

texts:
With my Humble Bundle purchases, I now have both the PC and Android versions of Waking Mars. I started playing it on the computer, but changed my window manager and cannot continue there due to incompatibilities. So I installed the game on the phone.

In the computer version, I could launch seeds while in the air (using the right mouse button IIRC). On Android, the only way I have found to fly around is to tap a point in the direction I want to go to, and the only way I have found for launching seeds is to choose a seed from the menu, then tap in the direction I want the seed to fly. So far, I have not been able to launch a seed from flight, I always had to stand on firm ground. But from memory, I would say that the computer version allowed launching while I was floating in the air.

I am at the "vertical shaft" level right now, and I just can't find a way to get through it. Stuck at 45/70 biomass, I have seeds, but all the remaining fertile ground patches are on the vertical wall, and I have no place to stand in order to launch the seeds. I wonder if there is a control I overlooked which will allow me to launch the seeds from float, whether I oversaw some opportunity for growing more biomass, or whether I am supposed to be dexterous enough to launch the seed by selecting-and-tapping during a free fall.

texts: How does the Hail of Doom weapon trait work on each of the Beam Staff's attack types?

texts:
A weapon with the Hail of Doom trait is described as:

  Each shot with this weapon has a 5.0 - 15.0% chance to split into 2
  projectiles.

Does this proc with each of the Beam Staff's different attack types? These are: primary (shotgun-like blast), secondary (beam attack), and the attack done when you press primary fire while holding secondary fire (high damage on beamed target).

I'm especially curious if it procs with the beam attack and how does it proc. (Two beams or two 'ticks' instead of one?)


texts: How are performance points calculated in Gran Turismo 5?

texts:
Somehow it feels like horsepower has a greater influence on PP than weight, obviously because horsepower will always means higher speed and better accelerations at higher speed, but it won't really efficiently describe performance on very low speed raceways like eifel kart or autumn ring mini.

I also noticed some cars have better "base" PP than other cars with the same horsepower/weight ratio, but I don't really know how one can properly calculate cornering performance, since it depends of vertical and horizontal center of gravity, car length, the size of tires (type of tire has nothing to do with PP), stability in corners, suspension, etc: any car will perform differently.

I guess it's of the form ((horsepower^constant1)/weight)*constant2 + constant3.

constant1 being between 1.2 and 2.

Oddly, I also noticed increased power on very PP cars does not increase PP so much.

The other thing, I don't think PP precisely describes the exact potential for a car to outperform other same-PP cars on the same raceway, since weight will play a more important factor on slower tracks than faster ones, especially with comfort and sport tires.

What I'd love to know for sure, is how to rate certain tracks for either speed or slow cornering, so I can choose car for the same PP limit, either a lighter or more powerful car.


texts:
I want to be able to summon a baby zombie that has a TNT block on its head.
The command I have so far is

/summon Zombie ~ ~1 ~ {IsVillager:0,IsBaby:1,Equipment:[{},{},{},{},     {id:tnt,Count:1}],DropChances:[0.085F,0.085F,0.085F,0.085F,0.0F],Attributes: [{Name:generic.maxHealth,Base:8},{Name:generic.attackDamage,Base:0}]}

However, is there any way to prime that TNT? Im guessing that this would not have anything to do with setting a block over the zombies head, but I do want that for aesthetic value -- and to let the player know the zombie is probably going to blow up.

When doing a little research on the subject before coming here, I came across summoning the TNT at the zombies with a fuse of 0 (zero). For me I don't think that this would work, because the TNT would still not stay with/on the zombie, and would just blow up where it was summoned (killing the zombie in the process most likely. Perhaps there is a way to summon the primedTNT when the baby (summoned with the command above) came with one block of the player? If so this also needs to instantly kill the zombie. Any ideas are welcome.


texts: Do all missile modules use Titanium-70 in Endless Space?

texts:
Here is the in-game information about Titanium-70. I have 5 units under my control, and would therefore like to take advantage of the 60% industry bonus to quickly mass an army.

The Endless Space Wiki states:

  Titanium-70 is usually the first strategic resource researched by N-Way Fusion Plants. It is crucial for the development of missile technology and therefore Titanium-70 is needed to produce ships equipped with torpedoes and missiles.

This certainly seems true for Ion Torpedoes:

However, the information card for Unstable Torpedoes seems to contradict the Wiki. No Ti-70 requirement is listed:

In fact, according to the research page, Ion Torpedoes is the only module that needs Titanium-70! What should I believe? Should I assume that all missiles require Ti-70, and will benefit from the industry bonus? Or should I lade up my ships with Ion Torpedoes to take advantage of an extremely limited bonus?


texts: What triggers the helicopter to search for the player(s) when scoping Cayo Perico?

Pavel then said something like "An aircraft has taken off from El Rubio's compound, and now might be the best time to leave."
What causes the helicopter to spawn? Is it a time-based trigger or is it because of actions by the player(s)?

One example is I'm looking for the animation of the lady in the trainstation in HL2 where she holds onto the fence (this is near the very beginning). I know exactly what the animation looks like, but I can't find it in Hammer.


texts:
In many games, especially games where you walk around as a character, I have found that the characters often walk without my finger holding the key required. The character will usually walk uncontrollably in one direction, lets say left, without me holding the left key down.

I am sometimes able to solve this issue by tapping the key again, sometimes I mash the buttons to get them to stay still. Sometimes this issue is very persistent and hard to get rid of, I may stop them from going left but then they will just walk in another direction.

This can really ruin good games for me and has been bugging me for a while with many different games. When I try to search this issue on the internet I cant seem to find the right wording as my searches usually give me stuff about broken keyboards.

Is there a specific name for this issue? What is causing this and how can I fix it?

texts:
Diablo 2 is performing very poorly for me.

I tried every display mode (Direct3d, DirectDraw, 3dfx(with glide wrapper)), tried compatibility settings and every solution on the internet but nothing helps. It gets randomly worse in crowded areas.

The interesting thing is that me and my friend are playing Median XL mod. Our computers are pretty much the same except for the GPUs. He has an Nvidia 780 and I have 2x 6970. His game performs fine.

First, I thought the game has problems with multi GPU systems, so I disabled crossfire, but nothing changed.

I think this is about drivers. Should I use an extremely old driver? Which one? Or should I try something else?

Playing with windowed mode doesn't change anything either.

texts: How can I fix the glitch, Hud_Hint_Clean_Block_Interract

texts:
I recently downloaded Payday 2 on my computer. Legitimately through Steam of course. I start up by heading over to the safe house and starting that introduction mission.

At the start of the mission, the player has exited a blue van. The instant I get off the van, a notification crops up stating: "You can't stand up here" After that, I am continuously crouching and cannot stand up. All my settings are on default. I have tried to restart the mission and the game itself but it would not work.

Oh yes, and whenever I press the "Crouch" button, mine being Left Control, a notification pops up, stating:

Error:Hud_Hint_Clean_Block_Interract

I would like to know just what has gone wrong.

In addition, on the top left corner of my screen, there is some sort of notification bar showing this:

Error:Hud_Casing_Mode_Ticker_Clean

texts: Can I keep downloaded games on a 3ds XL after a system delete?

texts:
December 2014
I decided to buy a Nintendo 3DS XL off of eBay, and found one with hard copies of games, and Ocarina of Time 3D installed onto the device, so when it arrived at first I was super happy as I had these games, but soon realized that I wanted to make the 3DS my own, by factory resetting it so I can create my own profile and change the settings to my choosing. However, I was told that by doing this it will delete the system installed games, as a game is linked with the previous owner's account or something. So long story short, I want to know if there is a way to keep these games after a factory reset. If there isn't a way then I wasted money on a game that I can't even keep.
Update - January 2015
I decided to perform a factory reset on my 3DS as I wanted a new NNID more than I wanted the downloaded games. I removed the SD card and began the process. After I did this I fully expected for the titles to no longer be on my 3DS. So I set it up, and they weren't there. No surprise there. But, I made an account on e-shop, and decided to check on the re-downloadable software thing, just in case the games happened to be there. AND THEY WERE! I downloaded them and they work perfectly fine! I have no idea how this happened! So so shocked, but happy. Can anyone explain why this happened? As the games should have been linked to the previous owner's NNID, so how did I get them back when I made my own NNID on a factory reset console?

How does the AI improve? Does it swap Pokemon more often or is it mostly better move choices?
Are all the Pokemon in the game higher level or just the trainers you battle throughout the game?

texts:
I am building a Diablo III calculator that will have API importing & also user data entry with validation. My issue lies with the latter part since I'm having a lot of trouble reassembling items with physical damage affixes.

Here's data for a problematic item:
http://us.battle.net/api/d3/data/item/skorn

The goal I've set is to recalculate the maximum possible damage value using the attributes. The value we want to see is 1762.5 as it is given in the API, and I've verified through looking in-game that items can roll a damage value that high (see: http://i.imgur.com/WQ9k9.jpg).

What I know:

The damage range is only affected by these attribute types:

Damage_Weapon_Bonus_Delta#Element
Damage_Weapon_Delta#Physical
Damage_Weapon_Bonus_Min#Element
Damage_Weapon_Min#Physical
Damage_Weapon_Percent_Bonus#Physical

Where #Element is the type of bonus damage (Physical, Fire, Cold, Lightning, Arcane, Holy)

The Formula:

My calculations work perfectly if the bonus damage type is anything other than physical. The 2 types (physical and elemental) also display differently like so:

+200-450 Fire Damage

and

+200 Minimum Damage
+250 Maximum Damage

If we were to calculate the Skorn example as elemental, we'd do it like so:

((507 + 106) * 1.5) + 381 + 286 = 1586.5

Which looks like this with attributes instead:

((Damage_Weapon_Min#Physical + Damage_Weapon_Delta#Physical) * (1 + Damage_Weapon_Percent_Bonus#Physical) + Damage_Weapon_Bonus_Delta#Physical + Damage_Weapon_Bonus_Min#Physical

The Problem:

Unfortunately, this just doesn't work since it's way off of what the actual maximum value should be. I just don't know where to go from here, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

texts: is there an armor breakpoint for the Last Whisper?

texts:
I'm wondering when it's better to buy another item instead of last whisper if your enemy has a lot of armor.

These aren't exact numbers but let's say malphite reaches 800 armor and has 85% damage reduction from physical damage. Getting a last whisper reduces his armor to 800 - 35% = 520 armor. That is still around 75+ % damage reduction.

Wouldn't it be more useful to get another item that increases your damage further? Since he has to stack huge amounts of armor, wouldn't a wits end be better?

Or the old madred's razor?

texts: Is Super Meat Boy really harder with a keyboard?

texts:
While poking around on Youtube I found many commenters saying "yeah, now try that with a keyboard." The game itself, however, only seems to suggest a controller to keep the "feeling" of the game.

I played with the keyboard so far, and I'm 10 levels from completing world 5. Sure, my completion rates for worlds 2-5 are below 30% and I only have 11/100 bandages so far – I still do value my sanity – yet I'd rather think it's me not being good enough, than thinking I'm bringing artificial difficulty onto myself for not wanting to buy a controller.

The only gripe I have with the controls is that you need to release Space after having gained enough elevation before you can jump again by pressing Space again. I'm not sure using a smaller button, or a different finger, would make this any less frustrating however.

Is Super Meat Boy actually harder to play with a keyboard?

Do I set "Requirements: Duty Incomplete" and "Purpose: Duty Completion"? (~80% of my DF groups have new players, so I assume the incomplete pool is larger.)

Also, does the Raid Finder show which roles you are waiting on? For example, in Duty Finder if I see we're 0/2 2/2 4/4 and I'm queued as a healer, I can swap to tank to speed up our queue.

This usually isn't a problem but, for some reason while on multi-player games I get a "Buy the DLC" popup every time I fight a DLC model or walk over their stuff.  Is there any way to turn this off?  It doesn't take up much screen space but, it's uber annoying.


texts: How do you know whether a game is in the Public Domain?

texts: There's a lot of games out there whose original creators have long gone out of business. How (if at all) do these enter the Public Domain, and how can you tell? Are there other kinds of abandon ware?


texts: I picked up an old controller that reminded me of the classic SNES or Sega Genesis six-button controllers, but I haven't been able to ID exactly what type of controller this is. I'd appreciate your help to figure out exactly what system(s) this controller would work with. Thanks!


texts: Does it matter what teams I pick on the final mission?

texts:
Needless to say, spoilers.

On the final mission, your crew breaks up into teams of 2.  The teams are:

  Matt and Asha
Pierce and Shaundi
Ben King and Johnny Gat

They are picked for 3 different tasks.  Does it matter which team does which task?  Can I pick 1 team for multiple tasks?


texts: In Terraria I've managed to equip myself in Silver Armor and all tools are silver or gold.  I also have a large stockpile of copper and iron bars.  I know I can use some ores for potions, but is there anything useful I can do with the bars besides sell them?  If I sell them, would it be better to craft them into items first?


texts: Where can I find Ferris enemies in Gormott?

texts:
One of Pyra’s affinity challenges is to defeat 6 Ferris enemies in Gormott. (Excluding unique monsters). I’ve searched all over Gormott Province, but the few I’ve been able to find were level 30 or higher.

Where in Gormott can I find Ferris enemies?


texts:
I am on level 9, and my challenges are collect all 10 rings and relic artifacts, and to collect 5 gems in one run. However, there don't seem to be any artifacts or gems to collect anymore, and I haven't seen any for almost a week and a half. I have run between 2 million and 5 million, and still nothing.

What can I do to move on?


texts: Event Droids look like normal Bitizens on my device

texts: For some reason the Droids from the event appear "Human" on my device (also named Human) I am wondering if this will cause me any problems with unlocking the scene. Also if there is any way to get them to appear as they should be.


texts: What decides what path in the temple of Styx has a bag at the end?

texts:
Is there any way to know which path has the bag at the end?
I've done a good bunch of runs that went into the temple of Styx and could never figure out what the logic for where the bag is. I've got it on the any number of paths I go down except first (2nd path chosen and after) on boss paths, normal paths, boon paths, upgrade paths, etc.
So is there any logic for which path is the bag path except random except the first one you choose?


texts: How do I get past the laser detectors in the mission Searching for Proof?

texts:
I'm playing through the Searching for Proof mission in Deus Ex Human Revolution. I've gotten to the part where there are the sweeping laser detectors. I couldn't figure out how to get past, so I found a walkthrough and it shows the below laser gate flickering and going out so that you can slip through.

However, for me it never flickers and remains constantly on. Is this a bug or did I miss something?


texts:
I just got GTA 5 for Xbox 360, and I heard of special cars, such as the Pegassi Zentorno. I asked a friend, and he told me just to walk in my garage, and so I did, and I clicked right on the d-pad and nothing happened.

How do I get special cars?
