texts: How does "wrong-warping" happen, and how can I do it myself?

texts:
In Zelda Speedrunning, namely Ocarina of Time, one of the tricks that speedrunners can use is called "wrong-warping". As I understand it, this happens when you go outside of a level and somehow go to some other room I don't know it's confusing.

So, how does this even happen in the first place? And how am I supposed to do it on my own game?


texts: How to restore TF2 item server connection?

texts:
Occasionally I will get a message from TF2 about being unable to connect to the item server, and I will be stuck with a pure stock loadout.  What is strange is everyone else on the same server will have all of their items.  How can I restore the item server connection?  It must be a problem on my end - if the item server were down, everyone else should be using stock loadouts with no hats as well.

Note: I know about the heartbeat console command.  That is for servers, not clients and does nothing for me.

texts: Why do so many games for PS3 have 'restricted/locked' save-games?

Many of the games I played had 'locked' save-games, so they can't be copied to an USB-Stick, for example. But I'm wondering why? Is it an agreement between Sony and the development studios to force the Playstation Plus features? What motivations have these developers to block the copying?

  Diablo 3 - Drop rates for set / legendary items

I have been doing hours and hours farming in Inferno Act 1 and 2, and occasionally in Act 3 up to  Siege Breaker, but so far I haven't had any good luck getting decent legendary items, let alone any set items.

I understand that the drop rate of legendary items is extremely rare, but even so, I think I could have done better than that.

So here I am asking a question, how am I able to farm legendary items more efficiently? Are there any particular events that probably have better chances to drop legendary / set items?

Thanks in advance for any tips and suggestions.

texts:
After recently centralizing item storage and sorting at my base, I found myself with some chests approaching overflowing. Especially some mixed farms (like the generic mob farm) produce more of some items than I know what to do with - like arrows. And as I don't want my sorting system to jam up (or discard whatever passes unsorted... e.g. in case another farm's collection system picks up my trident I'd accidentally dropped on a hopper) I need to periodically empty the overflowing chests, and e.g. discard a double chest of arrows.

So I built a trashcan. I'd move the arrows to a double chest in the floor, and it would transfer them through a hopper to a dropper into lava. And as I'd work around the item storage area I'd suffer clicking of the dropper for another 12 minutes as it kills 1728 arrows, one by one.

I managed to about halve the time by applying a faster clock and feeding the dropper through two hoppers from the same double chest at once, but it's still six minutes of incessant clicking (at double rate).

Can you suggest a trashcan system that can either kill a double chest of items relatively silently (may be slower) or do it so fast I won't be driven mad by the clicking? (and no, just dropping them on the ground to despawn isn't the right solution because I need to drop every stack of items separately, while transferring the full inventory to a chest just requires me to doubleclick a stack of arrows while holding another stack of arrows.)

Moderate compactness is a plus. Like, I don't mind dedicating an 8x8x8 chamber to the trash system, but I'd prefer the solution not to be a chain of hoppers so long it carries the items outside my hearing range. (also, while I began seriously considering throwing full shulker boxes into lava, I'm not quite that rich yet...)

How do I get a shark to attack me when diving?

Is it totally random how they attack me? Or do I need to provoke them in a certain way before they attack me?  Maybe a certain health level?


texts: How long do competitor stocks go up after you complete an assassination mission?

texts:
I was just wondering when to sell the stocks. Do they hit a plateau, or if they just keep on going up?

EDIT:

It seems to be different for each stock. Most of them will hit a plateau though I've found, so you're really going to want to sell them before it drops back. Don't get greedy and wait it out, when the price is basically stable at the top, sell it quick. On the multiple judge assassination, I waited too long. Went to +50%, stayed there a day or so, then tanked right back down.

I'm accepting the answer with the guide though, because it's a rather helpful one.

For instance, on the game I just played, they decided to resupply my factories using the port on the other side of the island, even though there's one right next to their office!

texts:
I made these commands

this command sets a ver to count all jumps by all players

/scoreboard objectives add trackjump dummy trackjump

this command adds one to each player that has already jumped and puts it in the display var

/scoreboard players add @a[score_didjump_min=1] trackjump 1

this command only happens in sequence after the above command goes off; it removes the jump from the last count so that the total doesn't increment constantly unless the player is still jumping

/scoreboard players remove @a[score_didjump_min=1] didjump 1

Then I display that score on the list board when you hold tab, however I ONLY want a specific player to be tracked and am unsure how to write the commands, so far I have tried to modify the @a in the above commands and it then tracks the players name with an @ sign in front of it not the player itself.

texts: Psionic storms - how exactly do they work?

texts:
I'm trying to understand how exactly do psionic storms do damage, and how to deal with them.

I understand they do damage-over-time - is that evenly spread over the storm's duration?
How many times per second is a damage-over-time "packet" applied? i.e. how many times per second will a unit in the area-of-effect lose health?
Do the storms do full damage to friendly units?
Is it worth trying to run away from storms, or is it better to stay? Since if you run away they can storm you again, but they can't do it if you stay and fight because storms don't stack...
Do the storms do regular damage, or do they have some special properties such as extra damage to some unit type, or armor-ignoring damage, etc?
Do the storms hurt buildings? Do they hurt units inside bunkers? Do they hurt units inside transports? Do they hurt interceptors inside carriers?
What is the range the Templar needs to be from the storm's center in order to cast it? Is it more than his view range?

EDIT:
According to this video, psionic storm does 10 points of damage every 0.35, but that results in total of 114 damage, which is not consistent with the damage I know they do (80). But maybe it hints that the damage is done every 0.35 seconds anyway.

  Energy Pulse: Energy pickups grant 25% / 30% / 35% / 40% / 45% / 50% additional energy over 10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6 / 5 seconds.

This results in a slow trickle of energy after picking up an energy orb.  However, I'm starting to wonder if it's more energy-efficient to pick them all up at once, or to wait and slowly pick them up one at a time.

What happens when I pick up a second orb while still gaining energy from a first orb?  Do I gain energy faster?  Longer?  Does the buff just reset (resulting in lost potential energy)?

/scoreboard players set @a[paramaters=true] paramaters (something new)
/tp @a[paramaters=new] ~ 68 ~

So far if there is an armorstand (invisible or not) it is still testing positive for finding air in the same space. I tried going into Creative and standing in the starting point and manually typing the commands:

/summon ArmorStand ~ 245 ~

And then:

/testforblock ~ 245 ~ minecraft:air

The armor stand summons, and then the testforblock return "Successfully found the block...".

I have commands that need to execute on a loop ending in a check for if there is an armor stand present, and separate commands that need to be executed if there isn't one. Is there another way to get a positive result when there is no armor stand present?

I basically need it to do:

01  Check for armorstand within radius

02  If found:

03     tp forward then goto line 01

04  Else:

05     do something else

Is there not a way to find out if there isn't an armor stand nearby?

texts: How do you get your Steam games to run on Ubuntu through Wine or something similar?

texts:
Ok, I was kind of surprised that this hadn't been asked here before, but maybe it's too technical for this site. You guys decide.

I've heard lots of different stories about setting up Wine on Ubuntu, WineTricks, PlayOnLinux etc., but never a 'This is the best way to do it for Steam and Steam games' thread.

So has anyone had any real success getting their Steam games to run on Ubuntu through Wine or something similar? If so, could we get some specific steps?


texts: How to complete the Blast Sling tutorial?

texts:
I just obtained the Blast Sling, and the tutorial mission showed:

  Kill multiple enemies with one Blast Bomb (3 times)

I chose Grazers, because they usually move in herds so it should be easy to hit multiple targets, but they have a lot of HP for a Blast Bomb. I tried removing some canisters but it's hard to lower their HP to an equal amount.
I've wasted a bunch of resources and I've achieved only one multiple kill.

Do I have to wait for a better Blast Sling, like the Carja or the Shadow one?
Or should I target different enemies to complete the tutorial?

texts:
I've been playing Horizon Zero Dawn while in a party with a friend playing it as well. While he went and did a lot of side quests in the valley, I explored and cleared the Corrupted Zones as I found them.

By the time he started doing these, he was roughly 7-8 levels higher than I was when I had done them. He encountered a couple Corrupted Glinthawks and a Corrupted Snapmaw in the Corrupted Zones in the valley, which surprised me as I encountered neither of these when clearing the same Corrupted Zones.

Are Corrupted Zones randomly populated or are the Machines generated dependent on something like player level at the time they're encountered?

When I reach Level 100 there's an item in the shop which is "???" which requires 101 levels and when I get this (spending my 101 levels) it starts to build Anticipation.

When it gets over 1 sexdecillion I get another item "Increase Box Quest 2 Kicstarter Pledge" which against build Anticipation much much faster.

texts:
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S5 and I tried to use the Battery Saver option. The problem happens randomly when I turn on Battery Saver then put my phone in my pocket. After I jog for about 10 mins or so and I take my phone out to try and click on something (ex. Pokespot or gym), it does not respond. However, I can still see the animations of the Pokespot on the map, its just that it won't respond to any input.

Does anyone know of a fix other than restarting the app every time it happens?

texts: Couldn't connect to a CS1.6 LAN server via the internet

texts:
To make it clear, I am going through each step.

Firstly, four of my friends are connected with routers and with a different ISP. They are using protocol 47, CS1.6 and Windows XP. On the other hand, I am using Windows 7 32bit, another ISP with the same protocol 47.

Now, to connect to a different ISP, we usually go to Google and type "what is my IP" and connect to that IP. As they are mutually connected with each other via router I cannot enter their network with "what is my IP". The HLDS server host also made sv_lan 0, but no success.

It's showing establishing network connection... Then retrying connection... Then exiting.

Any solutions please?

texts: What are the consequences of stealing? (I.E. Taking things from containers with a red hand icon)

texts:
So far, I've been living on the straight and narrow, not taking that which is not mine, and being a generally upstanding Sharkman.

But the longer I play this game, the more old habits cry out to me. RPG Kleptomania is setting in, and if it's not nailed down, well, by gum I'm going to take it!

Catch is of course, that some of the nice stuff that's not nailed down is in containers that, when moused over, display a red interaction icon, instead of the normal silver gauntlet. It appears that this indicates that the goods in question have an owner, who will be none to happy with my purloining of their pilferables.

However, I just took a fairly nice cape from such a container in the Black Hound Inn in Gilded Vale. The nameless NPC who shared a room with the chest in question - the presumptive owner - told me off briefly, but took no action against me.

At what point will my criminal ways catch up to me and get me in trouble? Is getting yelled at by NPCs with no actual plot or dialog value really the worst I can expect?

texts: Is the 8th episode bugged and inaccessible?

texts:
For some reason, after driving miles along the coast in the 7th episode, I came to a long bridge with a combine fence blocking entrance to it, and the road continues away from the bridge to a tunnel, but that is blocked off also. After killing all the combines in the houses next to the bluff that the bridge is built on, I found the crossbow and a poison zombie on a path leading to a room under the bridge, inside the supports. I believe that this is the correct path to turn off the fence, because although the cable that powers the fence is visible, I can't disconnect it. However, if I try to go through the door, it displays a 'loading' message and then appears to drop me into a dark void, and then kills me and loads my last save before that. I have tried restarting HL2, restarting my computer, and just searching for an hour for a different way forward. Have I been going the wrong way, or is my HL2 bugged (and requiring a reinstall), or is my computer just incompatible with HL2 (it's worked up until now, but just in case I am playing on an HP Envy laptop, running Windows 8).

Note: Sorry that I don't have screenshots, but I am at school currently and I don't have tonight free, so Tuesday I will try to get some up. I was recording my playthrough of HL2, so while I am pretty put off by this problem, I do have video of the entire game up to this point, if it will help. (That won't be available until Tuesday or later either)

This is wasteful and I would like to know if there is some special way to "pick it up".


texts: Which game first introduced the concept of weapon recoil?

texts:
Context
This morning while watching a video of Wolfenstein 3D from 1992 and Doom (1993) I noticed that weapons don’t need to be compensated for any recoil. Then on my trip down memory lane I watched a Half Life (1998) video and there, automatic weapons at least seemed to have some form of recoil.
There must have been something happening in between that introduced this feature into the game design of FPS, that is almost ubiquitous nowadays.
Definition of recoil
For the definition of recoil, I will use the definition used in the Counter Strike wiki, which I found to be a good summary of what I thought it is:

Recoil is the backward momentum of a gun when it is discharging bullets and causes players' screens to "shake". This often causes the shooter to sway away from their intended target after the first shot due to the momentum "kicking" the shooter's aim. The higher the recoil, the more the screen will vibrate.

To which I will add a picture to illustrate (CSGO recoil pattern of AK47):

My question
This led me to wonder:
Which game introduced this concept of recoil when shooting and thus the compensation necessary to be accurate while shooting say, full auto or rapidly, in a FPS ?

texts:
In Dead Island Riptide, water features more prominently than in the original Dead Island. Some buildings are close enough to water that you may jump from their roofs to water below.

If I jump and land in water from a height that would normally cause me to take falling damage, would landing in water negate it? Does the height of the water matter?

There are essentially three heights: shallow, deep, and over-the-head level. Shallow allows you to run in it, but slows you down. Deep doesn't allow you to run. Over-the-head means your vision is submerged and you begin to drown not crouching.

texts: What are the benefits/consequences when deciding the fate of the Rachni Queen in Mass Effect 3

texts:
On the mission 'The Attican Traverse: The Rachni' at the end of the mission you are faced with the decision to either free the Rachni Queen or leave her to the fate of her malevolent offspring. Given the variety of possibilities, dependent upon whether you've imported saves from ME1/ME2, what are the various possible outcomes of this decision? Also, what war assets will be gained or lost as a result?

I'm currently playing ME3 with a brand new (non-imported) character and it seems that the past history given to the player by default indicates that you have presumably killed the Rachni queen in past experience.


texts: Are treasures used as crafting components?

texts:
I'm a bit tight on gil at the moment, but I want to buy all cooking ingredients I come across so Ignis can unlock as many recipes as possible.

I do have quite a few valuables in the Treasures tab of my Inventory. However, I'm always wary about selling everything, because in some games, "treasures" can be used as crafting ingredients for things. I'd hate to sell something for 50 gil and then find out it's required to upgrade my spear and be forced to go back and get it again.

That said, is it okay to sell all of my Treasures in FFXV? Or are there some used as crafting components? If so, what are they, so I can hang onto them?

texts: What station (and shuttle) did Scott Parker see in Prey (2017)?

texts:
There is a note in the Shuttle Bay that says:

 Earth liftoff was at 0900. Conditions nominal. Pre-check certified. 4 executive passengers. Mail cargo.

 Flight was uneventful until 1133 when radar detected an unidentified shuttle approximately thirty degrees off our flight path at 9,000 km. Its drift and rotation indicated malfunctioning maneuvering thrusters. There was no answers to radio calls. Captain Cooper ordered a course adjustment to bring us alongside.

 As we maneuvered to within 60km, a second shuttle appeared on radar in the vicinity of the drifting vessel. Transponders identified it as a military vessel. We received a radio message to resume our original heading immediately. Captain Cooper asked if assistance was required and the order from the military shuttle was repeated.

 All highly unusual, but then it got really strange. The captain spotted it first. There was a facility out there and it was running absolutely dark. No lights. Radar transparent. We were too far to see any details, but it was big. Cooper snapped into action, punched in a course to Talos and fired the engines. We moved out as quickly as possible.

 Our passengers were clueless to the entire encounter. Our arrival at Talos went by smoothly and the passengers and cargo were delivered safely.

What station did he see? And what about the shuttle? It is not the one that's floating outside of Talos I as it is identified by another subplot.

texts:
Me and my friend were playing Minecraft, and I created a world with cheats de-activated. When I opened it to LAN, I activated cheats, and changed the two game rules keepInventory (True) and mobGriefing (false). But, my items dropped when I died, and a Creeper blew up part of my Mineshaft.

Later, my friend started up a Singleplayer world (with cheats), enabled those two gamerules (to the same as on our LAN), and the same results happened.

I am pretty sure I put the command in right, seeing as I did:

/gamerule [hit tab until I got to the rule I wanted to change] [hit tab until I got to the way I wanted to change it] and hit enter.

How do I get them to work?

While looking up EVE Online on Steam there is feature bullet that reads:

  Play for FREE – You can buy game time with in-game money you earn while playing.

Does anyone have experience playing under this gaming model? If I play the game casually (a couple hours a week) will I be able to earn enough money in-game to pay for my addiction game time?

texts: Will the "Intelligent Pet Patch 0.1.2" affect saved games?

texts: I was curious as to why my dragons never use their breath attacks, and found the wiki says that pets never use ranged attacks (which explains a lot of deaths, both theirs and mine). It also had a link for the aforementioned "Intelligent Pet Patch 0.1.2" (link is on PET page of wiki). It sounds like a good addition, but I'm wondering if and how it will affect my saved games ( I've "parked" a few before taking on Rodney).  What can I expect if I add this patch?

texts: Steam Client Error -130: Unknown Error, could not connect to the page

texts:
Okay, this happened completely all of a sudden. This morning, I was getting the "-130" error message even more than normal. That's the one that says

Unknown Error, could not connect to the page

I was also unable to update any of my games. I tried:

restarting my computer and internet multiple times
I then decided to completely uninstall Steam, not just everything excluding the /SteamApps folder, there was no trace of steam on my computer afterwards.
I then re-downloaded the steam setup file.

The installation of Steam completed, but now that it's time for steam to do the "Checking for updates" stuff that the Steam installer itself does. Every time I try to finish the download, I get an error message that says

Steam needs to be online to continue. Please confirm your network connection and try again

My internet is completely fine. I can even access steam by using my internet browser, I can get to Google, Facebook, Youtube, so my internet is not a problem. I've closed, then opened my ports, disabled my firewall, disabled my anti-virus.

Also, if this helps, I tried doing a security scan with McAfee, which, apparently requires me to be connected to the internet, and it couldn't get to the internet either.
At the time, I was also still on Facebook, and Google, etc.


texts: Credits without completing all missions?

texts:
This question contains a bit of a spoiler, so if you haven't yet seen the credits read no further.

I just got the credits in the game, completing the mission where you take out the three targets with the three guys.

But, when I go to the start menu it tells me I've only completed like 38/67 missions? What else is included in this count? I presume the "?" missions aren't.


texts:
I've been playing ARK on a locally hosted server with my wife.
We're pretty goal oriented and have spreadsheets with what we need to accomplish and how / when.

However, we've now:

Constructed a three story house
Created an animal pen large enough to house our herd
Tamed 20 dodos, 2 triceratops, 2 dilos, 2 phiomas
Constructed an archery tower surrounded by several spike walls with ammo to kill just about everything on the map
Have 10 storage boxes filled with a thousand of each resource near enough
Have a garden with 8 small plots

I'm now lvl 23, and she's lvl 18. And we're not sure what to do next.
As there are no real set goals as far as we can tell, and the aspects required to summon the broodmother require increasing levels up to 55 it looks like we'll be stuck grinding levels for a while.

It feels like we hit a curve in the game where we're too well off to really need to do anything, we're lacking goals.

What are we missing, is there some mid-game content we're not seeing?
What do people tend to do in ARK once they've built a small colony?
Is it just improbable to play ARK on a local server, is the idea of humans killing humans so ingrained in the game balance that we're missing out?

texts: How many religions can a Civ VI game have?

texts:
How does Civilization VI determine how many religions may exist in a given game? I've heard two primary theories: first, that the number is calculated based on the number of major civs in the game, and second, that the number is locked to the size of the map.

A forum post about Civ V claims the number was locked to the map size in that game, and it seems many base mechanics have stayed the same from V to VI.

That can't be the only factor, though. I'm playing a game right now on a Tiny map (using the default four civs) where the religion menu says that up to three religions will be allowed. However, I've been accumulating Great Prophet points for a long time, and still haven't gotten a religion. In fact, only one civ has (the one that built Stonehenge). When I check the Great People panel, the Great Prophet column just says "All people of this type have been earned." This is true even after I progress to a new tech era.

The only non-standard thing about my game is that I didn't start in the Ancient Era... I think I picked Classical, instead? I'm guessing this has an effect on the number of religions as well.

An explanation of how the game calculates the number of religions allowed per game is all I'm looking for, but some kind of table or chart would be really great for brownie points.

texts: Can't change character or do any missions

texts:
In single player, the last mission I completed was Lamar Down.  Now whenever I load the game, I am stuck as Michael and cannot select another character, or start any random missions.

So far this is what I've tried, to no avail:

calling everyone in my contacts list.  I did get through to Dave and had a conversation about having made it out after The Wrap Up mission, but this didn't change anything
jumped in a taxi and took a mission
went into GTA online and tried to select one of the other players from there; it just loads single player as Michael
drove a full circuit of the island to see if anything triggered (it didn't)
did a replay of a previous mission

Anyone else having this problem?  I don't have a previous save and there's no way I'm starting from the beginning again when I'm so close to the end of the game!  I did that once already when I changed from 360 to Xbox One!

texts: Minecraft: Using testfor to find a player who has left a zone (1.12.2)

texts:
I have Minecraft 1.12.2 (for Java Editon), and I'm trying to make a contraption that will keep spectators of certain levels within a certain area. I already have something that works, but it only works with one player. My command is show below:

/testfor @a[x=79,y=53,z=-102,dx=25,dy=25,dz=25,m=3]

The command checks if there is anyone within the zone. However, it doesn't check which players leaves the zone, but only the last person who left it. I need a command that will check if any spectators leave the zone. There are also multiple levels, 12 to be exact. Each level will need its own spectator zone and I don't want them to interfere with each other. I have tried /testfor @a[!x=79,!y=53,!z=-102,dx=25,dy=25,dz=25,m=3] but it doesnt work. Any help would be appreciated!

texts: Should I build more circular train networks?

texts:
On my Scenic playthroughs, I discovered that ring networks may balance the load from each station from the network. However, it also decreases the efficiency when multiple Locomotives (instead of Carriages) are placed. Since Carriages are rare, when should I build more circular train networks?

Here's that Scenic playthrough. Note that the light blue lane has one locomotive, but it holds up relatively fine; The dark blue lane has three locomotives and it doesn't spread the load well. The yellow lane has a locomotive with a carriage and it works pretty well even when the passengers drop off to reach the Hospital (plus symbol).

Ornate Drinking Horn appears after you complete 15 jobs.
Golden Ship Model appears after you complete 25 jobs.

texts: How to get around Malus Darkblade unit replenishment penalty?

texts:
The Malus Darkblade of Dark Elves in Total War Warhammer II has a unique mechanic: every round he gets "possession points" - 2 if he is in the field, 1 if he is in a city. When he hits 10 points (or maybe even 9?) his armies stop regenerating after combat, even when they are in an owned city. Of course, he can drink an elixir that gives -10 points, but it's expensive and the price keeps rising after each purchase. This leads to the situation where I have to keep sacking cities just to afford the "fix", which greatly cripples my progress.

I've tried to give the wounded units to another general, but it seems that the penalty is global. I've heard, that you can, in theory, go around it by recruiting lots of Death Hags, which give regeneration bonus - is that true?

Following this reddit thread about replenishment it seems possible in theory:

being in owned (or allied) region lets you replenish casualties in your army by 8% per turn. It's 8% of a single unit HP (240 HP per turn for a unit with 3000 max HP), and to simplify for units with multiple troops (in case there are 90 troops in unit) it's 0.08x90 = 7 replenished troops per turn.
This gets updated by + 12% in a city
Death Hag gives max +20 % (8% +12% from 3 upgrades)
10 points possession gives -50%
Supernatural Tissue skill – +30% replenishment rate (lord’s army) - I think, this affects only Malus tho

So fully possessed, in a city with ST skill I should be at 0 (8+12+30-50) and each Hag should push me to a positive value - unless there are some hidden rules that I've missed?

texts: Are there any countermeasures to turbo-controller users?

texts:
I've been playing quite a few online matches of Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 and have come across quite a few people who use a turbo controller to gain an unfair advantage.

Seeing how blocking just before an attack hits allows you to perform a substitution jutsu, negating all damage and placing you behind your attacker, people that use a turbo controller to spam the guard button are nigh-impossible to attack, as any attack in the game can be avoided in this manner.

This also allows them to land rather potent attacks while their opponent is still recovering from the sudden reversal, which in turn gives them breathing room to recharge their chakra (which is necessary to perform substitution jutsu).

Ranged characters may be a good counter to this technique, as substitution jutsu does not place you behind the attacker if he is not within melee range, but it is impossible to spot a turbo-controller user at the character selection stage.

Is there any tactic I can use to punish people who rely on turbo blocking?

texts: Is there an Anarchy equivalent in Borderlands 2?

texts:
I always carried one Non-elemental gun in Borderlands 1: the Anarchy SMG because of it's insane damage, firing 4 bullets per shot at a high rate of fire, all the while with decent damage per bullet to boot.

I haven't seen much like that in Borderlands 2 except early on I got a Blue SMG with red flavor text, The gun of the Bulls. It fired two bullets per shot, fired quickly and laid down a curtain of fire sort of like an Anarchy but less crazy.

What gun title/flavor text am I looking at for an Anarchy-like SMG? I know there's at least the gun I found, but I don't know how to recognize it. Are there other SMGs with more than one bullet per shot?

And deducing that all the mods I've gotten in the years went from free to paid... The list went from like 50 to 3... All of them lockpick mods.

Do I lose subscription and in turn, Steam deletes them all?
Do I get to keep them but in order to get updates (or a redownload) I have to "buy" to subscribe to it^?
Or do I automatically stay subscribed?
^ I'm only referring to mods that have transistioned from 'free' (the previous and only option) to 'paid'.
Update
Great news everyone. Everything's now free again!

texts: Does it make a difference to CP if you feed candies before or after evolving?

texts:
When activating the evolution for a caught Pokemon, it seems to amplify the Combat Power (CP). Thus it seems most beneficial to evolve your Pokemon with the highest CP, if you have multiple of the same kind.

But what I am not sure about is whether it makes an efficiency difference if you spend candies and dust to boost CP before evolving, to gain more from the amplification? Or is it more efficient to just evolve without spending, and then using the leftover candies afterwards, since they now give a bigger CP boost per candy?

I only tested with a Rattata so far, which gained +8 CP per candy before evolving, and +15 CP afterwards. I collected no numbers on the amplification efficiency though, and now ran out of materials for further testing.

Or maybe it is a balanced calculation and makes no difference at all? I would love to have some insight on that.

Some data I collected thus far:
(GPC = CP gain per candy)

79 CP Weedle (GPC 6) evolved to:
84 CP Kakuna (GPC 6), evolved at 90 CP to:
297 CP Beedrill

Note: The max-CP "half circle" in the profile stayed filled roughly at the same relative position throughout the evolutions.


texts: Too many wild pixelmon spawned, how can I kill them?

texts:
Due to excessive use of spawn boxes, too many wild pixelmon are walking around in my local game. This is slowing down the game to a crawl.

Is there an operator command to kill them easily and get the game back in a playable state?

Version is Forge 1.7.


texts: Issue with having both slow fall and levitation

texts:
I'm trying to make Blaze armor: I have a command block giving me levitation 253, essentially slow falling while wearing. However, I would like to change the amplifier to 1 (so the player floats up) temporarily as long as the player is holding a blaze rod. But the two commands do not seem to mix; the amplifier of 1 won't overwrite the 255.
Here's what I have now:
If wearing the Blaze armor: /effect @p 25 3600 253 true
If holding the Blaze rod: /effect @p 25 3600 1 true
What am I doing wrong?

I want to watch the Max Payne 3 intro in 1920x1080 AND subtitled. How do I replay it?

Deleting the "Profiles" folder only partially solves my problem, since the graphic settings are stored in graphics.xml which is untouched when I delete the folder.

Unfortunately the setting for subtitles enabled are stored in the "Profiles" folder I think.
