texts: Wind Waker's cutscenes freeze in Dolphin Emulator 3.5

texts:
I'm currently playing Wind Waker on Dolphin (not using it on Wii), and when I get to one of the first cut scenes (after you get the telescope and go back to your Grandma) it freezes/shows a black screen right when I open the door / trigger it.

I have tried running Tales of Symphonia and have had success with that game so far.

I guess my question is: Is there some kind of solution to getting around cut scenes, or some kind of specific settings I might need to run? I am currently running Dolphin 3.5.

I'm building a space station that will make a trip to Jool, collect science from its moons and return. Here is my reusable science module (2600kg):

I tested my Laythe lander in Kerbin. The lander was able to leave Kerbin and stay in orbit with 2600m/s left in the tank. This is the lander with the science module:

8 tanks in asparagus around a nuke + science head, total of 56000kg

The problem is, I can't manage to bring this module to the space station!

I already tried many configurations, including sending the science module first and then the other part, but they all failed. Here is my last failed attempt:

What kind of configuration for a lifter would make me able to bring this 56000Kg to my space station?

Note about KSP configuration:

Running 1.0.5
Only MOD installed is the Kerbal Engineer Redux 1.0.19.4
All techs except: High performance fuel, Aerospace tech, advanced unmanned and heavy landing.

texts:
The psi-operative has an ability called Fuse which can prematurely detonate an enemy's explosives. As you can imagine this makes my inner child giggle with evil glee. However, it would help to know some further details.

WHICH enemies carry explosives for targeting?
Do those enemies have a chance to be equipped with an explosive, or do they always carry them?
Can they carry more than one explosive, and if so, do they all cook off at once, or do they have to be Fused one by one? (Even if this isn't relevant to enemies in singleplayer, I'm almost certain it will be in  multiplayer with grenadiers)

Lvl 40 Seed

Lvl 40 Spawn
Lvl 40 Seed

Will the second evolution be any better off that the first (assuming the same familiar type is used for all)?

texts: Do trophy bases really get more trophies than farming base?

texts:
I'm at T.H. 7 and recently switched from a farming base to a trophy base. My farming base had the dark elixir storage in the middle and T.H. outside the main area where it was easily snipable and the trophy base had the T.H. and dark elixir storage in the middle. I've noticed the trophy base is almost all around worse.

With the farming base someone would usually destroy just the T.H. and I'd get an 8 hour shield. With the trophy base someone destroys a bunch, usually gets the town hall and dark elixir storage, get's 2 stars and a bunch of loot. Isn't that clearly worse?

In the end doesn't it come down to with the trophy base a lot more gets lost in 8 hours than farming base?


texts:
So recently I started playing a minecraft modpack with my brother on minecraft 1.7.10. So I created a world and opened it to LAN so he could join. Now I'll give you the question:

There is PC A (PC hosting LAN) and B (PC joining LAN). And then there is account 1 (me) and 2 (my brother).
So we started off with account 1 on PC A and account 2 joining on PC B. Now account 2 wants to play on PC A because this PC is better. This means account 1 will play on PC B. Will we spawn in with the right progress (inventory, achievements, health, hunger, location, ...) if we do this?

Thanks in advance!

texts: What do I do if other ships are already on the anchor?

texts:
I am trying to figure out ship trading in Shogun 2. I went to the location of an anchor on the minimap with my trading ship, and there was already a fleet of trading ships on it from a trading partner of mine. The game displayed a message saying I could right click on the anchor and destroy the fleet that was already on the anchor, going to war with my trading partner.

This does not make sense to me; surely I am misunderstanding or doing something wrong. I had expected to find these anchors in territories of those nations I have trade alliances with, but I only see them with some odd, long distance nations, not related to me. Surely both of us can trade at the same time? It does not make sense to me that I would be unable to trade from an anchor because my trading ally is already there. I certainly don't want to go to war with my trading ally.

What do I do to trade when there is somebody already on the anchor? How does this work?

It would be nice to have a list like spells known, while out adventuring so if I saw something, I would know I needed it.

texts: Which pots should I use to maximize my buffs?

texts:
In chapter 12 of Fire Emblem Fates (Conquest Route), there are dozens of pots liberally scattered about the map, half filled with "poison" and half filled with "medicine".

The in-game guide emphasizes that each pot has several different effects, but as I replay the level again and again (darn you, reinforcement archers!) trying to clear it, I've noticed that the pots seem to have the same buffs each time. (For instance, the medicine pot next to where Corrin starts gives +4 defense to all units within 2 tiles)

Is this randomized per-playthrough (unlikely) or are all the pot-breaking outcomes pre-determined? (I hope so!) If the latter, it seems like it'd be possible to plan a strategic pot-smashing strategy to avoid the worst of the poison (1/2 max HP) while maximizing the buff-tastic goodness of the medicines.

texts:
I still seem to have a lot of problems deciding on what exactly is a good piece of rare equipment to keep in order to sell on the AH & what should I just automatically vendor/salvage within the game, & thus I have three almost full tabs on my stash & nine almost completely full mule characters--& I'm still accumulating more junk. :-0

For weapons, I've started automatically getting rid of anything one-handed with DPS below 500 (regardless of stats), and ditto for anything two-handed with DPS below 1000 (again, almost regardless of stats).  For shields, anything with a block percentage below 16% gets sold off immediately.  However, it's stuff like helms, chest pieces, gloves, boots, amulets, shoulders, rings, etc. that I can almost never decide whether it's worthwhile to keep or not.

Does anyone have some good criteria for just getting rid of other items based on (for e.g.) armor value, or ilvl, or something else?  Looking for a quick & easy way to just go through & thin out my stashes & mules characters.

Thanks in advance.

texts: Dota 2 config file in steam gets reset all the time!

texts:
I've just started playing dota 2 for a week now and have played LoL for a year. I've researched some stuff about binding and editing the config file. I've found what I wanted to do, however, every time I exit dota 2, the config file gets reset, and the things I've added won't work after reopening dota2.
I really don't want to type approx 10 lines of code in the console everytime I've to restart dota 2.
The core problem is that some things in the config file gets removed, some gets readjusted to the original and some do not work even if they stay there.
Config file path:
E:*MyFolder*\Steam\SteamApps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\cfg
Here are some example:
These codes get removed every time:

alias "leftclick" "+sixense_left_click; -sixense_left_click"
alias "atkGround" "mc_attack; leftclick"

These codes are there, but never work. Worked only the first time:

bind "MOUSE4" "atkGround"
bind "F1" "dota_camera_setpos -2273.898682 1232.745483 982.072876"
bind "F2" "dota_camera_setpos 3035.773438 -2972.680176 966.072937"

This one gets readjusted to 600 every time!

dota_minimap_hero_size 900

Is there a way to make these permanent?!
Thanks in advance!

texts: What are Red's Pokemon's Awakening Values (AVs)?

texts:
Pokemon Trainer Red is one of the final opponents in the game and arguably the hardest to beat. Some trainers in the games have AVs in some stats making them harder, such as the Master trainers. A list of the Master trainers' AVs are here. Red has AVs, but they are missing from thist list. What AVs do Red's Pokemon's have?
This knowledge would help beat Red, particularly when using an underleveled team and saving the effort of grinding levels. I would guess that all his Pokemon have AVs in more than one stat. From battling Red multiple times, I suspect that these are some of his AV investments:

Pikachu has Attack
Machamp has Speed
Snorlax has Defence
Lapras has Attack
Lapras has Speed. My starter Eevee outsped Arcanine but not Lapras, despite Arcanine having a lower base Speed stat than Lapras (95 vs 60). This is only possible with Lapras having more AVs in Speed than Arcanine.

texts: What do the light signals on the cars mean?

texts:
The Anki Supercars all have different lights that signal various things. Sadly, the meaning of the colors are never explained anywhere in the game or in the documentation.

So far I gathered these meanings:

lights on the front: active when weapons are fired.
lights at the back: red when being hit

light on the top:

static red/blue: signaling which driver they belong to

static green: fully charged, not in a game
pulsating green: charging
white: hit by tractor beam etc.

I observed a couple of times that the top light of a car, while in a game, was alternating between green and the player color, and I can't figure out what that means.

texts: How does pet insurance work for leagues?

texts: When I got my Phoenix, I also received a game message saying "Your new pet has been automatically insured". In the main game, pet insurance is run through Probita in East Ardougne. If you die with an insured pet, you may rebuy that pet from Probita for 1 million gp. However, you can't exactly travel to East Ardougne to rebuy a pet in the Twisted League, so how does the automatic pet insurance work?


texts: Valve Basestations 2.0 not properly working with SteamVR

texts:
I am trying to setup SteamVR to work on Ubuntu 16.04 with two Valve Basestations 2.0 and a HTC Vive tracker.

What I did so far is to put the two basestations 5 meters apart and looking at each other. Then, if I put the HTC Vive tracker in the middle and run SteamVR, this is what I get.

That is, it looks like only one basestation is properly working. In fact, the room overview shows the same situation.

We configured the null driver to disable the headset. Can this be the cause?

The headset is disabled at startup.

   "LastKnown" : {
      "HMDModel" : "Null Model Number"
   },
   "direct_mode" : {
      "enable" : false
   },
   "driver_null" : {
      "displayFrequency" : 30,
      "enable" : true,
      "id" : "Null Driver",
      "renderHeight" : 300,
      "renderWidth" : 640,
      "secondsFromVsyncToPhotons" : 0.10000000149011612,

      "windowWidth" : 640,
      "windowX" : 100,
      "windowY" : 100
   },

How can I fix this issue and have both basestations to work?

texts:
In the original games killed enemies never disappear as far as I know, levels can be literally filled with hundreds of corpses. Doom 3 was criticized for disintegrating dead creatures — unfortunately the latest Doom appears to be comparable in this aspect (based on the PC demo which may not be up to date).

Do all enemies disappear instantly even in the technically superior PC version?


texts: Can I own land without having a city nearby?

texts:
So, I have Civilization 5 with all the expansions and DLC. I'm playing on the largest map and want to start moving units across the world to face my other enemy, but it's quite far and I don't own any cities nearby. There's a small area on an island to a south that nobody owns -- it's just free land.

Is there any way I can take this area without having to set up a city? I have no desire for a city in that area, but I would like a place to act as kind of a forward operating base for my units before I attack. I can ultimately make a city should it be my only option.  I just wanted to avoid it because I already have units that can go far and fast and don't really want to bother with the management.

SimCity clearly indicates the direction of one-way roads, for instance.

How can I build tall rockets that don't flop around so much and that are actually spaceworthy? I'm both interested in this specific case, but also on general guidelines for this.

Are there any pointers to think about when placing defensive structures? For example, should all defensive structures be walled off from each-other?

Right now, I'm winging it. I am using a strategy where the defensive structures and the storage are walled in, while the other buildings (barracks for example) are outside the walls to act as cannon fodder.  How can I improve this strategy?

texts:
I want to pick up the wireless keyboard for Rock Band 3 for Wii.  In Australia, as far as I can tell, only EB Games has imported it, and it costs nearly $200AU for the pleasure.

Including shipping, it would only be about $100AU to order the keyboard from the States.  However, PAL/NTSC compatibility and region-locking issues are making me uneasy in that regard.

Obviously, the game itself will be region locked (and I'll probably buy that here), but what about the peripherals?

texts: What is the actual duration of a Fortify Enchanting potion?

texts:
I tried to work the Optimizing Enchanting trick from UESP last night, and ran into a bit of trouble.  The Fortify Enchanting potion says that it will work for 30 seconds.  However, I only saw the benefit successful for one enchantment.  I'm sure it didn't take me more than 30 seconds to do my first two enchantments.

Since many of the ingredients for this potion are rare-ish, and I'm trying to do this enchanting with Grand soul gems, I didn't do any further testing just yet.

Could someone verify the actual duration of Fortify Enchanting?  Does it actually last for 30 seconds?  Is that game time, or real time?  Can it be extended by actions that pause that timer?  Or, does it only really stay effective for the next enchantment?


texts: Why am I sometimes outside of town when I log in?

texts:
So far I have never logged out without first heading back to town. It takes longer and sets you up for a nasty surprise when you log back in.

For some reason, however, I occasionally find myself outside of town when I log back in. I'm usually standing near the waypoint that I took to get back to town before logging off. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the game not saving, since the items that I sold and salvaged in town before logging off are still gone.

Is this a bug? Has anyone else run into this problem?

texts: What does it mean to "convey X physical damage over Y seconds"?

texts:
Using context clues, one can assume that, in this instance, convey means "deal".  However, if you lookup the word convey, you'll see definitions like these:

Transport or carry to a place.
Make (an idea, impression, or feeling) known or understandable to someone.

Nowhere in any dictionary have I seen this mean "deal" or "administer".  What are we doing, making the enemies understand the damage they are being dealt?

In all seriousness, though, I am going to go with the definition of "to take X damage and divide and deal it out equally to a target over Y seconds".  However, I just want to be sure.

texts: Why won't this redstone and command block setup work like the other one?

texts:
I'm trying to make an RPG adventure where the player can interact with different stuff. For example, if he walks up to a crafting table, then this text should come up in chat:

[Robert:] I wish there was a Crafting Guide in Minecraft or something, it's always so hard to remember what some of the crafting recipes are!

The crafting table works fine, I have a hopper clock connected to a redstone which has a repeater going into a command blocks saying:

/testfor @a[6,80,3,1]

Connected to a comparator connected to a command block saying

/tellraw @p ["",{"text":"[Robert:] ","color":"dark_blue"},{"text":"I wish they had a crafting guide in Minecraft or something, it's always so hard to remember what some of the crafting recipies are!","color":"white"}]

This works fine. When I walk up to the crafting table, it works. But when I walk up to the ladder, well that's a different story.

In my "Ladder Interaction" section of the redstone, I have the same hopper clock, with the same item, connecting to the comparator in the same way, with the redstone to the repeater, connected to this command block:

/testfor @a[-20,84,7,3]

Connected to a comparator which is then connected to:

/tellraw @p ["",{"text":"[Robert:] ","color":"dark_blue"},{"text":"Uh-Oh! The lava must've burned some of the ladders, so I need another ladder in order to get up. Come on! Better find one quickly!","color":"white"}]

I don't understand why this one won't work but the other does. I changed my redstone clock to a hopper clock, like I said, because people said that it keeps the chunks loaded and stuff, but it still doesn't work.

Here's a picture of my design:

Can you help me?

texts:
I've got a Flier Emblem team set up with Spring Camilla at the head, wielding the mighty Gronnblade+, which adds all buffs as raw damage when calculating her attack power. As in all Flier Emblem teams, I've also got a Flier (Caeda) with Fortify Fliers and a Flier (Hinoka) with Hone Fliers. Lastly, I've got either Cordelia or Cherche with Goad Fliers, but since the Arena currently has Summer Robin as a bonus unit, I've replaced the last position in my roster with her, who has Hone Spd 3.

However, when doing Arena challenges, I noticed something. Not all of the buffs were being added to Spring Camilla's damage. This didn't usually matter, as she tends to reach 70-85 damage on a single hit, but Summer Robin's Hone Spd 3 didn't seem to add anything to Spring Camilla's attack. The buffs from Fortify/Hone Fliers definitely added onto her attack, though.

Which buffs affect the -blade (Gronnblade, Blarblade, Rauorblade) tomes? I assume the buff from skills like Fury or Life & Death that passively affect stats do not affect the damage, while the Hone/Fortify/Ward skills that add buffs at the beginning of each turn do. What about the Hone skills that only add buffs for adjacent or nearby allies during combat?


texts:
I talked to some guy on the road and started a quest called Extreme Cosplay. I told him to come with me and then went to explore the estate. I smashed open the door, went inside, and then went on Google to make sure the quest wasn't too long (I wanted to get on with the Wight quest already). I found out that it was supposedly difficult unless you were overleveled, so I left, finished with the Wight, and thought I'd try finishing Extreme Cosplay. When I go up to the front door that I smashed open earlier though, it's closed and there's a note on it that says "Danger!" and whenever I read it the quest fails.

The last save before when I left that quest hanging was before I started the Blood and Wine DLC questline, so I can't revert saves. Is there any way for me to complete the quest, or am I doomed to fail it now that I put it off?

I've been trying some things with scoreboard lately and I always get to the point where I need to use the following commands.

People tell me to connect these to the same setblock clock but in order. I do that this way.

But nothing happens. The problem seems that the Holding score is set back to 0 too fast for the execute command to work. Does anyone know how to make this setup work?


texts: Calculating the constant C in Dota 2 pseudo-random distribution

texts:
The probability of a modifier occurring on the Nth attack since the last successful modifier is given as P(N) = C * N. C is a constant derived from the expected probability of the modifier occurring. C serves as both the initial probability of the modifier and the increment by which it increases every time the modifier fails. When P(N) becomes greater than 1.00, the modifier will always succeed.

My question is how can I calculate the C constant? I am ready to count/parse events in game.

I just don't know what makes her so good in dominion. Is it because of the dominion items? Or was it just luck that I fought against or with really good Akalis?

I'm debating between the original L4D and L4D2.  I like the original better, but I'm worried that I'm going to discover that there aren't any/many games.

Is there a way I can see how many people are playing a given Xbox Live game at a given time, or in a given time period?  Specifically, I want to do this WITHOUT owning the game and I also want to know if there are people within reasonable ping distance of me.

Armor / Damage Absorption
Type of resistance

texts: How long does Domination/Mind Control effect last?

texts:
I'm currently on my final mission (Commander/Ironman) and I've just triggered the pod (2 codexes, 2 gatekeepers) before the last hall. I've dominated one of the gatekeepers with my Commander Avatar and have a chance to dominate either a codex or another gatekeeper.

However, I'm not sure about the mechanics. Many threads say the domination lasts forever which is untrue. I can tell that from my personal experience playing Veteran/Ironman 3 weeks ago (pretty painful when mind control of a gatekeeper was lost on the final mission). My questions are:

Are there any differences in the effect comparing Psi Op and Commander Avatar (other that the former can be used once per mission)?
What would you dominate with a Pri Op in my situation? A codex or the second gatekeeper? Or, keep the charge for later turns?

texts: Starting a love interest in Mass Effect 2 from a Mass Effect 1 save file

texts:
I may have skipped a point or convo or something. But I currently have a (female) Shepard file from Mass Effect 1 and I'm playing Mass Effect 2. In the original Mass Effect, the Shepard's love interest was Liara T'Soni.

However, I'd like to move on to another possible love interest in Kelly Chambers. (Wanted to see the dance scene.) But something is, wrong, I think.

I talked with Kelly and told her she can feed my fish when I'm away and even had the dinner scene. But, I can't go further than that. I know I'm supposed to be able to call her to the loft. but that's not showing up in the file.

Did I skip a dialogue somewhere?

89% (15/13/12) with a max possible CP of 2677
93% (13/15/14) with a max possible CP of 2676

I have read that the CP formula values Attack more than Defense or Stamina, this is why the lower percentage Grimer has an overall higher CP. Question is, should I also value Attack and therefore CP more? Which Grimer is better?

NOTE: I am not asking about CURRENT CP vs IVs like this question, I am asking about MAXIMUM CP at level 40 versus IV%.


texts:
I created a set of Dragon Scale armor with 100 smithing and improved them to legendary, they had an armor rating of 584(502 without the shield). Here are the individual ratings for each piece of gear (with 5/5 light armor skill bonus[100%], 25% all light armor bonus, and 25% matched set bonus).

Armor - 232
Boots - 84
Gauntlets - 84
Helmet - 103
Shield - 83

This adds up to 586 (or 503 without the shield) and yet the armor rating I get is 502 without the shield, and 584 with the shield.

I took another set of dragon scale armor and made and improved them while wearing +100% bonus gear to smithing. I got gear with much higher ratings as follows ..

Armor - 300
Boots - 119
Gauntlets - 119
Helmet - 138
Shield - 102

And I still get the same armor ratings, 502 without shield and 584 with shield.

Has this worked properly for anyone else? Could it be a bug? Is this intended? Any information would be helpful =] I'd really like max armor resistance without the shield on.

Thanks!

UPDATE - I took my original set of dragonscale gear back to the workbench wearing my +100% smithing gear and was able to "upgrade" that set to legendary with the new armor ratings and that set worked just fine, must have just been a buggy set of dragonscale gear. Selling it to a vendor and rocking my 674 armor rating without a shield =D

Thanks for the help/ideas guys!

texts: Is DexNav chaining unique to a given pokemon?

texts:
Background

DexNav chaining means the number of hidden pokemons encountered and defeated/caught consecutively.

The chance of encountering shiny pokemons or pokemons with high number (>3) of IVs that equal 31 increases. The latter is also coincided with higher level (+10), possessing egg moves, and less commonly so hidden ability.

It is known that the chain will not break if the type of hidden pokemon encountered differs from the previous one in the middle of a chain. One can be assured of this by noting: 1) the level increase due to chaining (+1 per 5 chaining) is not broken; 2) encounter of shinies shortly after such switches.

Question

Is the chain unique to a specific pokemon?

For example, suppose I am chaining on Ditto on the Mirage Island. I have defeated/caught 100 Dittos. Now I go on to defeat/catch 30 Munnas. When I come back to chain on Dittos, is the probability of encountering a shiny (as well as high number of perfect IVs and so on) equal to having a purely Ditto chain of 131 or 101?

How can we ever know?

For example, it can be considered as confirmed "no" if I encounter a shinny Munna from one of the 30 hidden Munnas in the above scenario. Since the probability of encountering a shinny Munna within a chain of 30 is near zero, the chain likely was continued from the 100 ditto encounters.

texts: How to destroy a block and give you an item in your inventory at the same time?

texts:
So me and my friend are creating a Mario-like game in Minecraft Bedrock Edition. We are struggling with trying to come up with code. What we need is so if the player is standing on a red mushroom it breaks the mushroom and gives the player an item.
The problem is that we need to have both things happen at the exact same time (without a comparator delay too) so that you can pick up multiple mushrooms in a row without missing any.
We have tried
/execute @a ~~~ detect ~~~ red_mushroom 0 fill ~~~ ~~~ air and then hooking it up to a give command using a comparator. Obviously it works but we cant have a delay between picking up the mushrooms.
We have also tried running two execute commands in repeating, one that gives you an item and one that destroys the mushroom. The problem is it creates a 50/50 of if it works or not.
Could someone help us out with this?

texts: Is it possible to reroll skin shards into a skin you already own?

texts:
I've been trying to decide whether I should reroll some of my owned skin shards into a different skin or just disenchant them into orange essence. However, I was unsure if it was possible to reroll into a skin that I already own. If I just end up getting a skin I already own, it would be more beneficial to just disenchant them and buy a skin that I don't own.

The only posts that I've been able to find related to this question are  based around rerolling champions, for example this Arqade post, or skin types (i.e. legendary, epic, etc.), such as this Reddit post. However, I've been able to find none relating to skins.

texts: How do I repair completely broken power armor if it is not already equipped to a suit of power armor?

texts:
I acquired several pieces of power armor on my travels with the intent of adding them to my suits sitting around Sanctuary Hills which were all missing certain parts.

The problem is that some of the armor pieces were completely broken, condition was 0 and interestingly weight was also 0.

When I tried to add the armor piece to a suit I get a notification telling me I can't add armor to a frame if it is broken, so how am I suppose to repair them if they are not part of a suit that can be walked over to a power armor repair station as outlined in this question?

I tried repairing them from my inventory directly at the repair station, adding them to the workshop inventory and repairing them from the armor workbench but none of these worked.

Is it even possible to repair a completely damaged power armor piece and if so how do I do it?

Can I not save some download by getting it to at least install some files from the DVD?

texts: What's the minimum purchase to 100% the starter pack story mode?

I enjoy collecting the minikits etc in the Lego games.  But Lego Dimensions requires purchase of extra physical sets in order to unlock more abilities.  I've looked at a number of online matrices of "This character does this and this and this but not this" and come away with a headache.

In order to collect all the Minikits and (I assume) Citizens In Peril in the starter pack's story mode, what abilities do I need?  What is the minimum purchase required to attain those abilities?  Vehicles can work for this, though I'd prefer characters so I don't need to switch between builds.


texts: Is there any way I can unlock all scans for use in the Pixel Printer?

texts:
I like making new characters in Starbound from time to time, but it becomes a real chore trying to re-scan absolutely everything just to be able to print it with the Pixel Printer. Is there any way to unlock everything all at once, without needing to resort to scavenging the whole galaxy or enabling /admin mode?

The closest thing I can find is manually using /spawnitem to cheat an item in, scan it, and subsequently destroy it, but this is an awful lot of busywork, since I need to do it with every single printable item. I’d like to find a way to unlock everything at once.

Obviously, doing this is “cheating”, so I don’t particularly care what the method is, as long as it isn’t too laborious. An in-game command to run, a mod to install, or even a particular file to edit would all be acceptable solutions. That said, I don’t consider /admin mode an acceptable solution, since I don’t want to be in /admin mode! I want to still play the game and be able to take damage and consume energy, I just want to skip the grind (that I’ve already done before).

texts: What Can I Do About Squalor in Total War?

texts:
This question is specifically for Total War: Medieval 2, but I would imagine it can apply to most, if not all, of the Total War games.

Since I lost my last playthrough to unbelievable squalor in all my cities (50%+ and going up), I have done some extensive research on what creates/prevents it.

I now understand that squalor is created by increased population. It appears that it is also created by a large army sitting in the city. I have deduced that higher taxes will cut down slightly on the population growth, but this really isn't a fix. The only guaranteed way to get rid of it is to move out, let the city rebel, and then exterminate the populace, which I would really rather not do. Other than that, it appears impossible to get squalor to go down. From my understanding, it is impossible to get rid of it entirely.

I have found nothing at all on whether or not any structures/buildings actually prevent or at least reduce squalor. I can't even find anything on which ones create it, though I would imagine it's everything that contributes to population growth. I also have found nothing on what calculates squalor, and how much it goes up each turn, and why.

So here's my question: Squalor: How can I know when it is coming, and is there anything I can do to stop, remove, or slow it?

So, I took part in a drinking contest with a stranger in an inn, and instead of waking up in a wrecked temple, he just took his barstool again, and only responded with "huh?", "Hmm?", etc. when I spoke to him.

notes: There is a very bright full moon low in the eastern sky.

here is a photo of what these gyms looked like. When in motion they seem to sparkle to me. As a static photo, not so much sparkle:

In the next photo, notice that the circles near me, that indicate a pokemon exists, do not have a pokemon at the center.  This seems to prove the pokemon icons were just not being loaded.

texts: Do production boosts affect resource acquisition during offline progression?

texts:
I'm playing the app version of Kittens Game. Consequently the game runs most of the time in offline mode (due to the smartphone display being off).

I'm wondering if the various production boosts still affect resource production although being offline.

Since magnetos became available I've noticed a strange behavior. Magnetos consume oil and with magnetos turned on my oil consumption is higher than my total oil production. So I'm loosing oil (currently at -1/sec), yet my oil never gets to zero. Whenever I close the app / turn the display off and turn it on again after a while, the amount of oil has increased instead of decreased.

Therefore I assume that at least magnetos don't affect resource acquisition during offline mode (otherwise they would consume oil). Since the app version runs 99% in offline mode it looks like magnetos are completely useless. They cost a lot of resources but don't affect the game most of the time in the app version. Is this true?

I'm also wondering if this is true for various other production boosts like happiness, faith, paragon points and so on.

Meanwhile I've also asked this question at reddit since I didn't got an answer so far.

Should I try to become friends with far-away civilizations that are unlikely to find any reason to denounce me? Should I prefer to be friends with a stronger civilization, or a weaker one? etc.

I’m playing DOOM 2 and my OCD is forcing me to get 100% kills, items, and secrets, but have run into a problem. I know there are bugs in several maps that make some items and secrets impossible to get, so I am wondering if this is one of them.

On level 20 (“Gotcha!”), there is a tower behind the player’s starting position which contains a ledge that has some items on it, but seems to be impossible to get to.

I checked numerous FAQs, guides, and walkthroughs but none of them mention this ledge. I even opened the level in an editor and found that it has no trigger ID associated with the sector, so it does not seem that it can be lowered, nor does it have a transport destination on it. I cannot figure out any way to get up there (I considered rocket-jumping, but that is not really possible in this instance, and I doubt that was the intent anyway).

texts: Do you earn more rewards for playing on a higher difficulty level?

texts:
In Attack on Titan 2, the player is presented with three different difficulty level: Easy, Medium, and Hard. So my question is, do you earn more rewards for playing on a higher difficulty level?

If so, what is the difference in materials, funds, or other rewards and are there materials that are locked to higher difficulty levels?

I haven't been able to find any information regarding this topic for Attack on Titan 2, only this thread for Attack on Titan.


texts: How can I use Lucid's Virtu with Diablo 3?

texts:
While tromping through the ATI Catalyst driver problem I had the sudden insight that I shouldn't be using my ATI card (an aged Radeon HD 4300 series) at all but rather the Intel HD option provided by my i7-2600k processor.

When I right clicked on the Diablo 3 icon there was no option to "Run with Virtu" as I had seen with Mass Effect 3 and other titles.

What is the correct method for getting Virtu to take over and give me a graphics boost?


texts: Strange behaviour on Black Ops Multiplayer

texts:
Sometimes when I'm playing Black Ops, my movement is distorted, in that it moves side to side, backwards and forwards. When it started happening I thought it was my network connection, so I reset all my configurations so that my NAT wouldn't be disrupting the communications. However, it still happens intermittently. If I let go of the controls, it still happens.

I'm worried that it may be because of some hacks that people are using, but I can't see anything obvious, i.e. nobody is running away with the game, and I don't know of any hacks that are available on the PS3.

Has anybody experienced anything similar or can anybody suggest a way of preventing this from happening?


texts: How do I unlock the Mission Accomplished Achievement?

texts:
I'm trying to get the super neato hat for TF2 that can be unlocked simply by going through the first level of the Clockwork in Spiral Knights.

The method of unlocking it is as follows:

  Reach the first Clockworks Terminal

I thought that I had done this...twice.  I went up to a terminal in Haven, entered Clockworks Level 1, proceeded to bash a bunch of wolves and make my way through the level, finishing at the elevator.

I even went down another level (which ended up being a Garden).

I thought that getting through the first level and reaching the terminal/elevator at the end would be sufficient.....what am I missing?

I know that Dynamite can destroy Hellstone Bricks but not Hellstone Ore, and that Dynamite can destroy meteorite, ebonstone, and the suit of "uninteresting" (Stone/Dirt/Mud/Grass) blocks.

Is Hellstone Ore the only dynamite proof blocks, or are there others as well? (Dungeon Bricks perhaps, or obsidian?)

  Why has the innkeeper put a price on my head?

So I was in the city halfway between Solitude and Whiterun and I was doing a B&E. I stole a bunch of stuff and when I got outside there were Hired Thugs trying to kill me - not city guards.

I was not detected in my crimes. How did that happen? Is it part of a mission that just happened to start as I was breaking the law?

texts: Is Dragon Quest 11 Switch playable with only 1 Joycon?

texts:
As the title says, I'd like to know if it's possible to play DQ11 single handedly (or at least do most of the stuff with one joycon, left or right).

Some of the older DQ allows to Confirm/Cancel with the trigger button, making it somewhat playable one handed.


texts: How do I write a command block to detect if no online player has a specific score and execute a command?

texts:
execute unless score @p playerid = step10 time run say no players

As the @p finds the nearest person, it doesn't check all players at once and therefore fails to not run when someone online has the score.
How do I get it to run only when nobody online has the score?
In this case, a playerid value of 10.

I'm talking with Sapphire in the thieves guild, and the only thing I can do is ask her about her name. Then she tells me the sad story about how she was kidnapped.

I just feel that there must be more storyline with her, but even after becoming the thieves guild master, I don't get anything from her.

So, is there more that I can do with her?
