texts: Unlocking/Using smash balls in SSF2 beta

texts: When searching through the item switch on Super Smash Flash, I was suprised when there was no option to turn on smash balls. I went to training mode to see if I can spawn them there, but to my suprise, they weren't there. I have not been able to locate another source on this topic, so I have to ask: where are the smash balls?

texts: how would I refill an items durability over time with commands?

texts:
I have a tool I want to give players but they can only use when its at full durability, I already know how to use the selector damage:0 and set the damage to something, but I would like to refill the item over time, kinda like a cool down timer for the item, how would I go about doing that?

oh also if possible I would like it to work from anywhere in their inventory,

I was thinking mending but it gives it a nasty glow, and wouldn't work if they had any other mending stuff on or if its not selected

replace item needs a defined slot, as I want this item to regenerate passively without having to hold it in main slot (cuz it would be useless if they constantly had to hold it) it wouldn't work,

I thought about data modify or data merge, but i'm too dumb to figure that one out

edit: It could even be a new item that takes its place, because its not really a dynamic item, you shouldn't need enchant or rename it, here is the give command for the full item

/give @s minecraft:carrot_on_a_stick{CustomModelData:1,display:{Name:"{\"text\":\"Killer Queen\",\"italic\":\"false\"}"}}

the only problem with clearing the item and giving it again with increasing durability is that the item may jump slots if you have any other slots empty, which would kind of break the illusion, though if it comes to that then I will

texts: My Braixen switched gender when it evolved

texts:
So I was just playing Pokemon Y. My Braixen (female) evolved yesterday and I just realized that its gender switched to male. How is that possible? Does Delphox have a 100% male gender ratio or something?
 Please note though- I'm actually not exactly sure when it switched- I just noticed it, but I think it was at evolution.
 I know that it's not a case of having mistook its gender when I first received my starter- I named it Aurora and even thought that I was lucky to have a girl Fennekin. So... can pokemon switch gender when they evolve? Is there a way to change it back?


texts: Fallout TTW mouse acceleration - unaffected by Fallout_default.ini changes

However, mouse acceleration is still very obviously in effect.

removed \Documents\my games\FalloutNV\Fallout.ini (it was not automatically regenerated)

What is the problem?


texts: How to dectect whether any blocks in a volume has a particular Minecraft ID?

texts:
I wrote a command-block flying base (using this approach

            ) and it works (in Minecraft 1.15.2 vanilla). The main problem is that it will happily plow through and obliterate any obstacle. I want to put in proximity detection as a safeguard.

If I use the following inside a command block:

execute if block ~-1 ~ ~ minecraft:air run clone ~7 ~ ~-5 ~-3 ~10 ~6 ~-9 ~ ~-5 replace move

It will move the 11x11x11 volume that contains it 6 blocks westward as long as there is a block of empty space behind it. The problem is that it only detects empty space directly behind it and only to a depth of 1 block.

How do I insure that all blocks that would be occupied by the structure in its new location are air prior to cloning it to that location without resorting to a huge chained command like...

execute if block ~-1 ~ ~ minecraft:air if block ~-2 ~ ~ minecraft:air if block ~-3 ~ ~ minecraft:air if block ~-4 ~ ~ minecraft:air... etc. ... run clone ~7 ~ ~-5 ~-3 ~10 ~6 ~-9 ~ ~-5 replace move

texts: How do I increase the framerate in Duke Nukem Forever?

texts:
I have an Nvidia 480 GTX, a video card powerful enough to play games like BioShock 2 with all settings turned up to the max and still deliver super smooth FPS.

When I play DNF, though, it has choppy gameplay and terrible framerates.  Even with AA turned off, it's still terrible.  I googled this issue and it appears that lots of other people are having this problem, but no one has offered any real answers on how to get smoother FPS.

So is there an actual solution to this?


texts: Is it possible to re-map FO4's enforced/unmappable keys?

texts:
Update: Fallout version 3.1—in beta as of this writing—resolves this problem (hallelujah). If you're still experiencing this problem, and if 1.3 is still in beta, you can install the beta via Steam by following these instructions.

While in Workshop mode, pressing the "F" key will rotate the object you're trying to build and place. The key for this action isn't mappable through the in-game UI.

That works fine with the default key mapping. But I always remap my movement keys to ASDF, so in Workshop mode I can't move forward. I've been site-stepping and backing up to get around town.

This is just one example of a possible conflict with unmappable keys. The "E" key seems to be a source of problems too.

Is it possible to remap keys if their mappings aren't exposed through the UI? On the PC there's an intriguingly named file at

G:\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\ControlMap_Custom.txt

but its contents are pretty inscrutable. And there were a couple of Skyrim mods for remapping keys, but it's early for the FO4 community to have one.

I intend to make fully-enclosed structures that are too small for Ghasts to spawn inside of, but I want to make sure that an errant Ghast fireball fired while someone's outside won't end up destroying my structure.

I checked the wiki entry on glass, and it discusses arrows and spider jockey arrows, but nothing about Ghast fireballs.

texts: Exactly how good of a follower is Aranea Ienith? Is she worth foregoing the Black Star?

texts:
I realize that there are already a variety of questions that debate the usefulness of the Black Star versus Azura's Star, and it's pretty evident that the Black Star is more useful--black soul gems are pretty rare, and woefully expendable, but opportunities to harvest black souls (which are all Grand) are plentiful. However, these don't adequately address what I feel is probably the greatest benefit of the "Azura" side of the Black Star quest: the opportunity to get Aranea Ienith (the Azura priestess) as your follower. From what I gather from the UESP wiki, Aranea is the strongest mage follower you can possibly have. So, is Aranea + regular Azura's Star > Black Star?

As a shot in the dark, is it possible to get both Aranea and the Black Star?

Has anybody noticed a difference between colours of solar systems or is it purely a light-year distance restriction?

How can I fix her eyes to something more sensible?  Human eyes are preferable (green + white) but at this point, I'm looking for anything that's less creepy.


texts: So I recently bought an Xbox One after owning a Xbox 360 for quite a while. I recently also took up achievement hunting before my Xbox One. I liked the nice little square of an achievement on the 360. But after getting the one I realized the achievements are actually home page wallpapers and usually lame images. Is there a way to have like the 360? Like far cry 4 achievements for the 360 are totally customized for every one, but for the Xbox One they are all the same lame wallpaper! Like really? So my main question here is, is there a way to have normal xbox 360 achievements like before or am I stuck with these crappy wallpapers?

texts:
D.Va's ultimate Self Destruct does 1,000 points of damage. Reinhardt's shield can absorb up to 2,000 points of damage before breaking, so a fully charged shield can easily block D.Va's ultimate.

What happens, however, if Reinhardt tries to block D.Va's ultimate with a shield that has less than 1,000 hit points remaining, such as 200 hit points? Is the remaining 800 damage still completely absorbed by the shield (before it breaks), or does the damage carry over to Reinhardt's health pool?

texts: How to interpret effects with level constraints in Skyrim

texts:
Can someone explain what spells/other effects mean when they have a max level requirement.  For example (taken from wiki): "Illusion: Mayhem - Creatures and people up to Lv25 will attack anyone nearby for 60s."

As I understand this is a Master level spell (50+). I've also tried digging on how mob level work and as far as I can tell, unless a cap is hit, most of the time the mob will be same level as you when you first enter a dungeon (and always same level as you in the world).  So why would 50+ lvl player care that he has an illusion spell that works on mob up to level 25??

This was just an example. What triggered my question is the fact that I'm running around with Fury, which apparent works up to level 6.  I'm level 12 and few times I tried to use (yes, stealthed from far away) it, did did nothing but make everyone attack me.

My Battlefield 3 on PC only seems to crash (BF3.exe isnt responding, etc) when I am flying in a Jet during combat.  I have no idea why this is....

I currently have 6970 x 2 in Crossfire, stable OS: Windows 7 x64, 12GB RAM, i7 @ 3.8ghz with a 1200watt psu.

I have tried both the newest drivers for my video cards and the beta drivers: both do not fix this.  My battlefield is up to date and so is my OS.  I have tried reinstalling the game, to no avail.  I am able to watch my temperatures of my CPU, GPU, etc on my left monitor while playing and everything seems okay.

It only crashes when I am flying a jet: Majority of the time on Kharg Island.

Any ideas / input?

EDIT: I read on some other forums that DICE isn't too friendly with pre Overclocked video cards.  So I also tried down clocking ( QQ )  both of my cards and I still get random BF3 crashes.  Only in the jet.


texts: Safe way to remove marker from SNES cartridge

texts:
I recently purchased a used SNES game. I had two options: a clean cartridge with a ripped up label, or an intact label where some kid wrote his name on the cartridge with some kind of (permanent?) marker. I figured I could just easily wipe it off.

I've been wondering... is there an easy way to remove the written name that won't damage the cartridge or the label (the name is written across the top of the back, so it's pretty close to the label at the top of the cart).

I'd like to clean it off for a pristine cartridge, but if all removal options will damage it, I'll probably just leave the kid's name on it.

I am currently overflowing with money as the Ottomans through trade and tax income from my many provinces, but to keep up with the large European nations I have a constant need for more monarch power (administrative, diplomatic and military points).

As far as I know the best way to actively increase my monarch point income is by hiring better advisors.

As money is not an issue, I could easily hire lvl 3 advisors in all categories, but unfortunately the candidates I get often are only lvl 1 or lvl 2.

Is there a way to influence the candidates for advisor slots to become better? (i.e. expensive level 3 advisors) I know this is random to a large degree and that you can get an additional advisor slot through ideas, but I am looking for any way to boost the quality of the candidates.

texts:
tldr; What happens to the nether-portal in the nether, if you destroy the portal in the overworld? Will the portal in the nether disappear? Or will taking it spawn a new random portal in the overworld?

...

I recently started playing Minecraft again after a long hiatus, on an extremely hostile server making survival very difficult.

In order to survive, one must utilize the nether to get far enough away from spawn, in order to find trees, grass, animals, etc.

My buddy and I are semi-established, yes still relatively close to spawn, so in constant danger of being raided. Especially considering how we followed a pre-made nether-highway to get to where we are, others could get here too.

Now, we should probably relocate even further away from spawn, probably diagonally via. our own nether-pathway and create our own portal to ensure our safety, however I do not know much about the mechanics of the nether portal and am wondering: What happens to the nether-portal in the nether, if you destroy the portal in the overworld?

Bonus question: Baked potatoes vs. Bread?

The lab notes give you hints on how to make potions. What are the actual recipes?
Here are the notes:

For health, split MMX in two to find your quantities. Chlorine will give you your ingredients, but remember to keep it sweet.
For strength, stand in front of a mirror while making a health potion.
Regeneration is more difficult to accomplish. Gold must be combined in equal part with a hard substance in a multiple of Calcium, then the solution should be brought to the boil. While simmering, add a tenth of health potion ingredients. Once the flask is cool again you should have your potion.
Fire is initially the same as a regeneration potion, but only add half of the initial ingredients. While simmering, instead of a health tonic, sprinkle an equal amount of powder as gold into the mixture.


texts: How does "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn." work?

texts:
I have a storylet that is just called '"Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn."' It's description only says:

  "...And, the labourer is worthy of his reward." Of course, you may not consider yourself a 'labourer'. Or a 'him'. But everyone likes rewards. [Your Profession will bring you a reward every week. Complete your duties and receive it.]

Apparently it's from using 'An Earnest of Payment' or something, but I don't remember how I got that. I've also read that it gives you an item depending on your profession. The description also mentions something about it being weekly.

How did I get it? Is it renewable? Should I wait until I get a better profession to use it? What does it mean by the portion in brackets?

Since all the ore I drill is inside a hole it is kinda hard to maneuver the collector into place. So can I use the collector to mine more efficient?

texts: How can I play Asari Vanguard effectively?

texts:
The Asari Vanguard is way different than my previous style of play. With Human Vanguard I Charge in, I punch things in the face, and they die. Good times.

But the Asari Vanguard has different Skills; they seem much more focused around firearms than melee. I can't seem to make good use of Lift Grenades or Stasis (and I'm unsure how to upgrade either until I figure it out). The melee shockwave is nice but leaves me vulnerable. The teleport is nice and fast but eats my Barrier.

I want to be able to play Civilization 5 on the release date, but I know that it will be at least a 4-5 GB download, so I worry that if I buy a digital copy, the high number of users hitting the distributor's servers will slow downloads to a crawl. If it's possible, I'd like to download the game in advance, so that on release day, I would only be getting a tiny activation key instead of a huge installer.

The game is available for preorder on both Steam and Direct2Drive, but neither product page seems to mention what I'm looking for, and I don't know what it's called, so it's hard to search for. Do either of them offer this service?

texts: How to handle people camping your generator?

texts:
I've just come out of a terrible streak of terrible games where one side simply camped en-masse the other side's generators while people simply flew in, grabbed the flag and flew away. Without base defenses up classes like pathfinders don't have too much of a hard time simply going around in circles from flagpole to flagpole I imagine.

Since you can pick what team to be on and everybody tried to be on that one same side, we ended up taking 17 flags in a row across four different maps before I decided to spend my time otherwise.

What ended up happening is simply invisible dudes using sticky explosives around the generator. Technicians' sentries won't target them, technician's SMGs are no match for their explosion spam and even when I switched to more powerful classes such as Jaggernaut I had an extremely hard time with them camping bastards.

How can I cleanse my generator out of those pesky people? or am I fighting the wrong fight? I was assuming my teammates would bother with other stuff such as defending the flag or attempting to capture theirs but I guess that's not what was going on.

Do I soak 2 lanes worth of xp when minions die to the towers that are just in front of me while I use symbiote on a minion and kill enemy minions on another empty lane?

texts:
As a miner in Elite: Dangerous, I'm becoming very discouraged with my chosen profession for one simple reason:

The Refinery module glitches out randomly, showing "Refinery server connection unavailable" repeatedly, as well as showing that a resource needs allocation, and I'm unable to vent any refinery bins or the hopper.

My question is two-fold:

What causes this glitch to happen? It seems like it occurs when an element's bin fills up, and the current fragment would result in that bin reaching 100%. That's just something I've noticed, I'm not even sure if its related.
What are workarounds for the issue that would allow me to continue mining without quitting and restarting?

You have to power down the refinery immediately to avoid the obnoxious noises and messages, and I'm looking for a way to restart it in working order, without logging out.

Entering Supercruise will empty the hopper, which ends the glitchy noises and messages, but trying to mine again will make it glitch out immediately. The only fix I've found is to Save and Exit, then jump back in. That of course ruins the wing connection, changes the instance, loses any active limpets, etc.

Any workarounds for the glitch, or strategies to avoid the glitch, would be much appreciated.


texts: Elite: Dangerous detects my wireless Xbox 360 controller as both that and an additional joystick at the same time, how to avoid this?

texts:
More often than not when I start up the game my Custom controls bindings are gone from the menu.

I've read that if the custom controls contains bindings relying on equipment not currently present then the custom controls are not loaded, and I think I know why.

Right now I started up Elite: Dangerous and sure enough it was gone, so I took the time to set it up, yet again.

When I pick a setting and press a button on my controller it gets shown like this:

That symbol is me pressing the left cross-button below the left analog stick.

However, after some time in the game I realized I had forgotten one binding so I went back in there and now things become incorrect. I went back to the exact same binding shown above to get a concrete example and rebound it, showing this:

So it seems that after some indeterminate time my single Xbox 360 controller registers as a Xbox 360 controller as well as a separate joystick, so that for the game it looks like I'm pressing buttons on two controllers at the same time and this is recorded as my binding.

I assume that the next time I restart my computer and load up the game it will read the single controller as only a Xbox 360 controller, and thinking that extra joystick is gone, refuses to load my custom setup.

Is this a known problem? Is there any way to fix it? Is this a PC problem perhaps and not a game problem?

This is Windows 8.1 and stock Microsoft drivers for the Xbox 360 controller.

The control panel only shows my Xbox 360 controller, which is correct, I do not have any other game controller device hooked up to my computer, nor have I ever had it (this computer is 3 days old reinstall-wise, no PS4 controller or anything ever been connected to it):

texts: How much Maelstrom does the Elemental Shaman mastery give?

texts:
Looking at the Elemental Shaman mastery in World of warcraft it states that:

  Your Lightning Bolt, and Chain Lightning casts have a 15.0% chance to trigger a second cast on the same target for 85% of normal damage and generates less Maelstrom.

How much Maelstrom is generated on each overload for lightning bolt and chain lightning, per target hit?

With the talent "High Voltage" that has a 50% chance of normal to proc a 3rd overload, will this give the same amount of Maelstrom?

I just finished The College of Winterhold (Mage Guild) questline and it was quite short.

In previous TES games, guilds had ranks and the sort. Like the Mages Guild in Oblivion had Associate->Apprentice->Journeyman etc.

How do guild ranks work? For this, and any other guilds?

texts: Differences between the accuracy of the buddy system and hatching eggs

texts:
Today I decided to test the accuracy of the buddy system, to record the distance traveled compared to the registry of the distance to hatch the eggs and I was a little disappointed with the result.

I put a 2km egg in the incubator and selected the Magikarp as a buddy before leaving on walk.

I walked somewhere close to 3 km without stopping at Pokestops or Pokémon that appeared. At the end of the path, I checked the result in the app to see the recorded distance difference:

The egg hatch shows 1.91km walked.
The Buddy system shows 2.7km walked.

If the systems are the same, as this difference be explained? Is there more precision in Buddy System?


texts: Quests or events with multiple permanent end states

texts:
On the Isolated Plateau, you can aquire a Warm Doublet from the Old Man. As far as I know, there are three ways to get it:

   1. Cook him the dish he hints at in his diary.

Or

   2. Meet him up at the top of the mountain on the plateau.

Or

   3. Complete all four shrines on the plateau, and it'll be waiting in a chest in the Old Man's hut.

Each option ends with a different entry in the Old Man's diary. After one of the three options is complete, the others become unavailable.

Are there other quests or events such as this, with multiple permanent "end states"? Different entries in the adventure log, different diary entries, or different relationships to NPCs, things like that. If the results are going to be permanent, I'd like to plan out how I approach these, to get the result I prefer.

Transient things like a bit of non-repeated dialogue or a replaceable item reward are less important, because they don't permanently affect the world.

And I'm aware that playing the game naturally without worrying about such minor things would be more enjoyable. However finding out 20 hours later that there was a better ending to a quest that I cannot now replicate tends to sap my enjoyment too.


texts:
The gamer DLC pack introduced three new robe, the zombie, the tentacle and the epic. The effect of the first two is easy to understand, but I don't understand what the Epic Sword and Epic Staff does.

The inventory description for the sword say that is has "Epic effects". Right, when I hit with it, there are some white sparks shooting out of the sword. But it doesn't seems to do anything to the monsters I hit, beside normal sword damages.

For the staff, there are no passive effects listed, and the active effect is called "Murmur of Alrond", and when I activate it, I'm surrounded by a dark aura menacing with spikes of darkness. Once again, there is no obvious effect of what this aura do.

So, my question is, does this sword and staff do anything special, or are they just for showing off?

texts: Why does Age of Empires II think my disc isn't valid on one computer only?

texts:
I have the Age of Empires II Gold Edition which contains both Age of Empires II and the Conquerors discs. I have lost the Conquerors disc, so I am trying to play just Age of Empires II. However, on my laptop, if I run the Age of Empires II (not the expansion), it tells me "Please Insert the correct cd rom", despite having the correct CD in. This only occurs on my laptop. On my desktop, the game runs when using the same CD, so it's not a damaged CD.

I have tried uninstalling the game and installing without the Conquerors expansion in case it is trying to launch the expansion pack, but even then it gave the same error.

What could cause this error? Google says it's either a pirated disc (which it isn't) or a damaged disc (which it also isn't since it runs on the other computer). What other issues could cause it?

texts: Hard focus on me and no team support, how to deal with it?

texts:
When playing Mercy on ranked games, I get focused really hard by the enemy tanks (specially by Winston and D.va) and my team seems to not care about it most of the times as I play solo and communication at low elo (~2000) doesn't always work as it should.

My main concern is to be healing our tanks most of the time and that leads to be playing near the enemies and sometimes being really exposed.

So, is there anything I can do myself to avoid getting killed by enemy tanks that jump onto me?


texts:
I have Super Mario Galaxy 2 in the Dolphin Emulator. Since I have to point for certain things and use the joystick on the nunchuck for general movement (and I don't have a USB sensor bar), I want to play with the nunchuck in my left hand and the computer mouse in my right hand, while the Wiimote just lies around (because I don't have a third hand).

Everything works fine except for shaking the Wiimote (and a certain nunchuck problem, but that's a different question). I set shake X to the middle mouse button (Click 2) in the hybrid Wiimote settings and it does rapidly shake the cursor around, but it doesn't make Mario spin.

Interestingly, if I click Movie->Start recording input, shaking suddenly works completely fine, but Mario keeps ducking and no input from the real Wiimote (or nunchuck) are accepted anymore. And apparently I can't turn recording off again by any other way than closing the game.

Setup:
American version of Super Mario Galaxy 2 (SB401?)
Dolphin 5.0 (ac267a29405ae768037a8774b84b805a4180d1af)
Windows 7 Professional 64bit +SP1

How do I shake the virtual part of the hybrid Wiimote?
If it's possible to just fix the "Start recording" behaviour, that would also be ok, although inconvenient, because I would have to click it every time I start the game.

(Possibly related question)


texts: Is it possible to defeat Lu Bu during the Battle of Hulao Gate?

texts:
During the second mission of the Wei storyline, the "Battle of Hulao Gate", Lu Bu stops your progress after reaching a certain gate in the map.

One of your commanders then tells you something along the lines "Go, I will hold him off!".

Nonetheless I started to fight Lu Bu and got him down to about 10% HP with some trouble.

This was when suddenly he somehow started an attack and killed me with one hit.

I thought: "Wow, that guy is hard!" and tried the map again, which pretty much the same result, only this time I had full HP when he killed me, again with one single hit!

Is his attack just abnormally hard and you have to be extremely careful not to get hit? Or is this simply scripted in a way that you cannot defeat him?

Is it possible to defeat Lu Bu during this mission, or do you have to run away?

texts: Does the choice of ship affect difficulty?

texts:
I recently completed the game and unlocked the Federation Cruiser. I have previously unlocked the Engi and Zoltan cruisers, playing mostly using the Engi. I have only played on "normal" difficulty setting.

Selecting the Federation Cruiser as opposed to the Engi or Kestrel cruisers seemed to greatly increase difficulty but I have not been able to find any documentation on this (wikis) so my question is:

Is there some additional difficulty setting that is applied when selecting the Federation cruiser -- or perhaps second tier ships in general?

Please note:

I realize that different ships call for different strategies. That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm referring to as 'difficulty' here is the strength of enemies and the likelihood of good things happening. My perception is that enemies are far stronger earlier on in the game when using the Federation as opposed to the Engi cruiser, e.g. a Zoltan cruiser with three weapons as first encounter as opposed to a no-shield scout with two weapons.
I am not complaining about the difficulty, I just want to understand what I'm in for. I never chose easy, enjoying the challenge of 'normal'.
I understand that ship selection does not alter THE difficulty setting (the "EASY/NORMAL" toggle switch) I am assuming extra pain is being metered out in addition to the user difficulty selection.
My suspicion is that the ships are organized in tiers, as the Zoltan cruiser in the same column as the Federation seems to unleash similarly levelled enemies. Would like to see it confirmed or denied, though.

texts:
Is it generally better to have a small number of fully upgraded rooms? Or have a larger number of not-so-upgraded ones? (Provided of course, that we have Power to spare.)

Wondering if the massive costs for upgrading are worth it. For example, I had a dweller training in a level 2 Strength Center with 2.00 hours to go. Then paid 4500 to upgrade it. The remaining time just went down by about 10 minutes! This seems pretty crazy since I could have built another 3-4 rooms with this cash.

Is it just to look nicer? Isn't that just purely vanity and a waste of gold?


texts:
Doing a regular parry is already hard enough, and I can only ever do it by accident, but there are some instances where I was hit by what I think were multi hit projectiles or moves, but somehow parried multiple times in quick succession.

I don't understand why this happens. From what I understand, a parry happens if you release the shield button the moment your shield is hit, but you also can't put up your shield immediately after a parry (it takes some frames) to parry the next attack in a multi hit move. So how then do these consecutive parries happen?

There doesn't seem to be any indication of order on the location itself (level rec, etc). Is there a certain order to visiting these locations or is it just a free-for-all of exploration goodness?

texts: Which champions scale with kills in League of Legends?

texts:
I'm talking about skills like

Sion's Enrage:
TOGGLE: While toggled on, Sion has increased attack damage at the cost of some health for each autoattack. While Enrage is active, Sion permanently increases his maximum health whenever he kills a unit with either his attacks or abilities. This effect is doubled against champions and large units. or
Nasus' Siphoning Strike:
ACTIVE: Nasus' next attack within 10 seconds will deal additional physical damage. Siphoning Strike permanently gains 3 damage if it kills an enemy unit. This bonus is doubled for killing champions, large minions and large monsters

which can scale indefinitely.

Is there some comprehensive list of those champions somewhere? I was unable to find it so far.

texts: How do I survive in 'Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume'?

texts:
Please be careful not to spoil anything, I'm coming into this game untainted.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this game had an interesting combat mechanic

  You can kill a character permanently for one battle of power.

At first, I was intending to do a good guy/pacifist run, as is my norm.

NOPE.

It's battle number 4 or 5 (Mission is to kill Edward at the guillotine) and I am getting roflstomped. All but my tanky character get one-shot, and he gets 2 shot by the "realmreavers"... who also have 3x as much life as me. Even the level before that was costing me lots of potions and those aren't even bosses, just his minions. I like difficulty, but I am confused if this madness is intentional. Even with good positioning I am getting slaughtered. I've played quite a bit of Final Fantasy tactics, fire emblem, etc., so I know my way around tactical RPG's like this.

Hmm. I realized that I failed to get enough sin the level before this one. It sounds like that may have caused the enemies to get harder... I was expecting that it only meant I didn't get items. The worse you are doing, the harder the enemies get and the fewer items. Game design at its best.

So I guess I have a few questions:

Is there someway to significantly increase survivability or grind up early on?

Are there difficulty settings? I will play on the hardest, but I find it hilarious that this game appears to be obscenely hard and has no easier difficulty. Anyone unfamiliar with SRPGs would probably drop this game inside of an hour.

Is it plausible to complete the game without using the feather more than when the story demands it?

Is this game just really heavy on consumable usage, or am I doing something wrong?

texts:
Some gathering and hunting quests are finished by delivering a Paw-Pass Ticket when certain conditions are met - say when hunting 2 of a certain monster, or delivering 10 of an item - but you can keep delivering more items or hunting more monsters.

One famous example is the HR6 quest "Coal Hearted", which ends after delivering a staggering 90 Coal, but it can also be finished by delivering a Paw-Pass Ticket that is supplied after delivering 10 Coals. A hunting example would be each of the level 6 Deviant hunts, which you can end by delivering a Paw-Pass Ticket after hunting two of the Deviant monster in question.

While I can see why sometimes you'd want to hunt a large number of monsters for various reasons, I don't know why you'd waste time on delivering more account items.

What happens when you deliver more items or hunt more monsters than you strictly need to finish the quest?

texts:
I am on challenge 10 of herbalist and I need the flakey meat.
Went on catching a northern pike which gives this meat.

The problem is that I can’t get the meat seasoned. When I keep the fish and choose to cook immediately it does not ask me to season or shows in the menu either.

The only thing I can do is stow it on the horse or cook which gives me plain flakey fish.

Am I missing something or am I catching the wrong fish?


texts: What determines how much XP I get for extra Medi-Gel?

texts:
When picking up Medi-Gel when you're full, you get XP (rather than credits, like in ME2). What determines how much XP I get? I've received anywhere from 100XP to 300XP for a pack during the same mission without any rhyme or reason to what is causing the discrepancy.

Is there any relation to my maximum carrying capacity? My max health? Or is each Medi-Gel station simply hard coded to give you a certain amount of XP if you're full, regardless? I'm currently playing on Hardcore, so knowing if difficulty affects this would also be helpful.


texts: Oldschool RuneScape ironman: Motherlode Mine vs powermining

texts:
In Oldschool Runescape Ironman Mode, if I want both Mining and Smithing experience, which is faster?

Mine at Motherlode Mine (which gives slow Mining experience but useful ores for Smithing); then train Smithing with all useful resulting ores
Powermine iron or granite (which gives faster Mining experience but no ores); use the time saved relative to Motherlode Mine mining to earn money; then train Smithing with supplies purchased with this money

(In both cases, if I reach my desired Mining level before my desired Smithing level, to bridge the gap, I will go earn money and train with supplies purchased with this money.)

Suppose I can earn 125 000 gold per hour via some dedicated moneymaking method during time spent not mining. Also suppose my Mining and Smithing levels start out at 70 and I want to reach level 90 in both skills.

Does the answer depend on any of the following?

Whether I have a dragon pickaxe
Relatively small variations in potential income (suppose I could instead earn 150 000 or 175 000 gold per hour, for example)
My goal stats (level 90 vs. 95 or 99, for example)

texts: In order to maximize Pal Points, I want active friends. My leader (Kushinadahime) is a popular one, so I'm in high demand. Unfortunately, I'm getting more friend requests than I have capacity. I'm removing friends who haven't been active for more than a day and accepting pending friend requests. I want to be able to receive friend requests all of the time with which to replace inactive friends. If my friends list is full, can players still send me friend requests?


texts:
I just finished the Allied campaign in the RTS game, Ruse. After completing the campaign I read its Wikipedia article, which states:

  There are two campaigns in the game
  […] The second takes place from the
  point of view General Major Erich Von
  Richter in the Wehrmacht, whose dreams
  of military perfection on the
  battlefield were realized with the
  invention of Blitzkrieg. The game
  follows General Richter who, while
  battling allied generals, is trying to
  uncover a traitor in the upper ranks
  of his command.

That paragraph is quoted from the games official site.

The review on the site NZGamer states:

  The second campaign storyline allows
  you to have a decent crack at a German
  storyline […]

I haven't managed to find this campaign, and can't find anything about it any other place. Are there really two campaigns within this game?

texts: Why can't I use the terraform totem in Reprisal?

texts:
In Reprisal, I like to quickly clean up my newly conquered islands with the terraform totem.
Unfortunately, when I tried to exert my will on the landscape in a recent game, I found I was flatly denied.
You can see the crossed out cursor totem here:

I know that a certain amount of mana is necessary to use the totem, but the screenshot also shows that I definitely had enough mana for any terraform actions.
What is preventing me from using the terraform totem?


texts:
How does one put floating text like that of servers that utilize plugins to do so? I know you used to be able to do it with earlier than 1.13 with

/summon ArmorStand{Invulnerable:1b,NoGravity:1b,Invisible:1b,CustomNameVisible:1b,CustomName:{"text":"Blocks","color":"yellow","bold",:"true"}} ~ ~ ~

but with the 1.13 update they changed the syntax of this and other commands.

Originally, I tried to "fix it", despite not having ran it, by moving the NBT tags to armor_stand (since ArmorStand didn't exist anymore), but that failed. When I brought it back to the beginning and it summon the object without the custom name either being visible or without having a custom name at all. Which one of those is the issue, however, I'm not sure of.


texts: Is it still possible to get the "defeat a 2x enemy" voucher without losing soldiers?

texts:
This game (called Streetpass Battle or Warrior's Way depending on your region) has a voucher that you can get when you defeat an enemy whose army is at least 2x the size of yours.

I currently have more than 5,000,000 soldiers and, as the maximum amount seems to be 9,999,999, it's impossible to meet an enemy that fits this description.

Is losing in battle enough times to get to 4,999,999 soldiers or less the only way for me to get that voucher now?

Shenhua (aka Shen Hua aka Sha Hua aka Shen Fa) "grew up in the wilderness of China, surrounded by nature" (Wikipedia). She "has lived in Guilin her whole life" (Neoseeker).

In Shenmue II, Ryo meets her and she talks to him in accent-free Japanese (according to a friend of mine who speaks Japanese). In Shenmue I she also sings in Japanese.

Why is that?

I'm not sure, but I think her original name is Chinese. She grew up in China. She lives in China. Why does she speak perfect Japanese? Is it explained in the game? Or are there any hints?

Maybe her adoptive father taught her Japanese? Is anything known about him (yet)? Is it plausible that he knows Japanese?


texts: What does a certain character say when you talk to him for the "Bearer of Bad News" quest?

texts:
SPOILERS!  This quest is right after a major story event near what seems to be the end of the game, so please don't read the rest of the question or any answers if you'd like to remain in the dark.  I'll use spoiler tags, but I can't vouch for answers :)

Okay, so...

  After Roland is killed by Jack, Mordecai gives an optional quest to tell other major characters in Sanctuary that Roland is dead.  I went and talked to all the characters, however I think it glitched when I talked to Brick because he only repeated the speech he was giving Mordecai when I first came back to Sanctuary (about Jack killing his dog).

What is he supposed to say here?


texts:
The question basically says it all.

I am the female ruler of my own Faction, the Kingdom of Metal. I begin my Wars by speaking to another Jarl or Count whatever and demand them to surrender, leading into a fight.

That results in a decleration of War and I loose Honor, even if the opposite Faction is much larger than me.

Is there any "good" or "political correct" way to declare a War?

texts: Silencers not available due to missing resource

texts:
I am using a silenced tranq sniper rifle (because why would you not?) and of course, the silencer runs out after a time.  So, I called a supply drop but was told that "some items are not available because of a lack of resources".  I look at the iDroid and could not find anything low or just empty.

I looked at the official guide but could not find anything about that.

As a work around, I can switch the silencer from the machine gun. But I would like to know what I am missing so I can get some more of that.

Any one encountered this and can enlighten me?


texts: How can I move a block when it is placed without the piston interfering

texts: I'm trying to make a redstone device with the new concrete powder where the blocks are being pushed along a row, but every time a block reaches the end, the whole row is pushed up. However, I've tried block update detectors and it doesn't work to power the piston underneath. Because the piston pushes up to where the block reached the block update detector, it powers the piston again, creating an infinite loop. Is there any way to avoid this? I want to avoid making timers, so is there a way to make some sort of pseudo-block update detector that isn't triggered by the piston, or some other device that does the same thing?

I was roaming around and by accident I found a nice horse that I now want to make my default one as it currently is only a temporary one.

It says in the help that I should have an option to unsaddle my horse and be able to put the saddle on another one to make it my primary. Yet I see nothing like this. Is this tied to a mission I have to finish first?

texts: Is there a quick way to remove and collect a minecart tracks used for a Sky Rail?

So when i started this large world i created a whole lot of minecart tracks to make a Sky Rail to help locate the Sky Islands. Now i want to tear it down as i got what i wanted but also i want to move it underground but i'm finding it that it's taking longer to take down than to put up.

When i was putting it up i only needed to go at a set speed then just hold the minecart track out in front. i can't do the same as even with the Molten Pickaxe if i go more than 4 mph i end up skipping a track and it's at around 5 mph that the minecart will start to move on it's own.

So i am wondering if there is a quick way to remove and collect the minecart tracks i used for my Sky Rail

texts:
I am playing Dead Island on the PC.  Many NPCs want alcohol for various purposes, so I want to collect it when I see them laying around.

But when I do this, the game seems to switch my current weapon with alcohol.  If I am not paying attention, or if I am quickly attacked after collecting the alcohol, I use the alcohol instead of attacking with my machete/knife like I intended.  This is extremely frustrating, since I waste alcohol, and I incur needless damage while a zombie chews on my body while I am switching to a different weapon.

Please help me make this STOP.  I do not ever want to equip alcohol after picking it up.

texts: When I look at a map, is the Y co-ordinate at my head or my feet?

texts:
I'm playing Minecraft on the Xbox, and the only way to identify current position is by looking at the map.

The X and Z co-ordinates are what they are, as you only take up one block in those dimensions. However, I'm unsure how to interpret the Y co-ordinate. Is it at my head or my feet?

I found this question, which answers a lot about Xbox maps, but not the Y in relation to my character.

This matters for the purpose of finding proper depth for optimal ore-hunting, plus it would be nice to know.

texts: What is the effective range that close enough uses to determine if a bullet will ricochet in that direction?  Is it more beneficial to try to aim at the ground near the target or does it not matter where I aim as long as the bullet hits a wall of some kind?  If there is only one enemy in the area and they're very far away (outside of mini-map radius), will my shots still have a chance to hit them via ricochet?  I'm mostly concerned about the annoying buzzards and repair drones that like to make wide circles.

texts: Starting with 200% xplodium bonus in Gun Bros

texts:
So last week I was surprised to see that I was starting out levels with a 200% xplodium bonus, and after each wave the bonus would increase by 10%, and maxed out at 400%.  This differs from the usual 100% start, 5% increase, and 200% max.

Today, I was disappointed to see that I started out at 100% again.  I googled it and someone mentioned that it was a St. Patrick's Day easter egg of sorts, but this clearly doesn't apply to what I saw, since it was obviously not St. Patty's Day when I experienced this.

Can anyone explain this?  Is there a way to unlock this "feature" again?

texts:
In some genres, but especially in FPSs, teams of players are often called clans. Why was this specific word chosen?

This is in contrast to guild or faction in RPGs, but here I can see why - they are analogous to actual guilds or factions within the lore or setting.

Clan however doesn't make much sense to me. The word itself implies kinship, and doesn't really fit with the typical FPS themes during the rise of online gaming - mid-to-late 90's - which were mainly sci-fi or militaristic.

Was there an influential game or community that first used clan (and why), and it simply spread? Or is there some other reason why this word was chosen?

Many others

This matters as I am usually sprinting to my objectives and if I didn't want to attack (low health, low inventory of items, etc) or if I am strictly farming experience - this impacts game-play.

He was also using the Hunter's Axe and when I got him to the phase where he uses the two-handed version of the axe I though at least I can get some respite from his blunderbuss. Boy was I ever wrong!

I received an xbox for Christmas and I've been trying to connect it. Unfortunately, when I connect it using an HDMI cable, I get picture but no sound.

AMD A10 6790k APU
2x4gb 2133 DDR3 SDRAM
120GB Corsair Neutron SSD
2TB WD Green drive
Windows 8.1 home - sadly

Does ANYONE know of a way to get the ePSXe emulator or any other PS1 emulator up and running in Windows 8.1?
