texts: Base stats for all vocations at level 99 in Dragon Quest IX?

texts: I'm currently trying to decide on what will be the "main" jobs for my characters in DQ9.

Since abilities are shared between jobs, picking a main job is mostly just about the final stats and equipment, at least for non-spellcasters.


texts: How many Pact Shards can I obtain without moving to the next threat level?

texts:
I was wondering if there was a way to tell how many Pact Shards are required to hit the different thresholds.
At the beginning of the game, you start with 0/100:

As you play, you accumulate more and it increases the difficulty to either Grey, Yellow, Orange, or Red.
In this example, I collected 100 gold and 10 Pact Shards at the very beginning.
This caused the difficulty to rise to yellow for the first fight:

After defeating the first boss, my 10/100 went back down to the Grey threat level:

So it seems that each floor has certain thresholds that once hit, increase the threat level.
Is there a way to tell how many pact shards I can accumulate without hitting the next threat level?


texts: How to spawn on a squad member by clicking their name?

texts:
I remember in previous Battlefield games you'd be able to click on a squad member's name in your squad menu on the map rather than their little dot.  Sometimes it's kind of hard to click on their little dot especially if there are objectives, vehicles or other squad members nearby.

Has this changed? Is it bugged? Is there something on my end I need to do to enable it?

texts:
I have a friend who played Star Wars: The Old Republic during the prerelease window.  His characters are on one of the really early servers.

Now that the game has been released and other people are joining up, we of course want to play together.  However, I noticed that the early server in question is now "Full." I understand that this means there are lots of people on the server, but I don't know in detail what this might mean.

Some questions:

What kind of queue times can we expect when attempting to log in to a Full server?
Are we in any danger of being locked out from that server (IE prevented from creating characters on it)?
Is there any way for my friend to move his characters off the server if we decide we'd rather go to a less populated one after all?


texts: How do I transfer previous generation Pokémon to X/Y?

texts:
How does one go about transferring Pokémon from previous generations this time around? Presumably, due to the 3DS's lack of GBA slot, Gen3 Pokémon would need to be transferred to a Gen4 cartridge. But how does it work beyond this point? Specifically:

Which generations can be used to send Pokémon to Gen6? Can Gen4 (D/P/Pl/HG/SS) send directly to Gen6, or do Pokémon from those cartridges first need to be sent to Gen5 (B/W/B2/W2)?
What systems are required to perform this task? Does it need to be two connected 3DS (3DS / XL / 2DS) systems or can the previous generations be hosted on a DS (Phat / Lite / i)?
What (if any) in-game tasks must be completed prior to transferring? Of the generation 4 and 5 games I've played, the transfer tools were not unlocked until after the Elite Four were beaten.
How, exactly, does it work this time around? The tools for each generation so far have been wildly different; a safari-zone-like minigame, and a shooting gallery minigame.
Is there any other information someone looking to transfer Pokémon to generation 6 should be made aware of? For example; PC Box storage limitation issues for anyone looking to transfer their living Pokédex.

texts: How to turn off the blue barrier below the Nali church in Bluff Eversmoking

texts:
I found a way to turn off the blue barrier below the Nali church in Bluff Eversmoking by walking on an edge (see screenshot below). I wonder if there is not another more casual way which doesn't expect the player to climb along a small path on the wall.

It is often possible to shorten the way from A to B in Unreal by rocket jumping and sometimes by walking on edges. Most edge walks reward the player with items but this time it doesn't feel right to me. I don't want to cut corners on this playthrough.


texts:
I updated my game on steam to the most recent release; 13.0, which came out on the 23rd. Upon starting the game, a new window which I have never seen before showed up:

The loading bar that can be seen on this window only ever makes it to 50%, which takes less than 2 seconds, and then it crashes. Additionally, attempting to run the application puts two items on my taskbar. One of which has no icon attached to it.

App B is attached to the window with the loading bar, and App A never appears via a window. When App B crashes, App A lingers for a few seconds before crashing itself.

To fix this, I tried restarting my computer. After that, I received two full lock-ups which required emergency shutdowns, however, this may be unrelated to my problem. This did not fix the problem.

I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, but that did not work either.

I took this problem to Reddit and Steam Discussions and no one has a solution as of now. I don't usually bring technical problems like this to SE, but I really want to get this working again.

If it helps, I am using a 64bit, win10, ASUS Laptop with 7.45 GB RAM. This problem first occurred directly after installing the update. This did not happen before the update because I used this program without issues the day before.

UPDATE

I have decided to see what happens in my Task manager.

I noticed that BTD6 starts "suspended" for a while before its status changes to "Not Responding" and then crashing. I also discovered that App B turned out to be a crash handler, which means the app crashes every time without telling me why.

Update 2

I have been emailing Ninja Kiwi directly back and forth for the past week and even they have no solution for this. They suggested I delete everything, as pressing "uninstall" on steam misses a few files. I ended up completely uninstalling the game and deleting these two folders as well:

  C:\Users\[my username]\AppData\LocalLow\Ninja Kiwi

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[my id]\960090

After that, I completely restarted my computer another time. There was absolutely no trace of the game left on my computer.

After reinstalling it and testing it out, it still didn't work. There is clearly something that is not right with my system, but I can't figure out what because I never get an error message when it crashes.

texts: How dangerous is it to explore aimlessly in Breath of Death VII?

texts:
One of the many games I've picked up recently is Breath of Death VII. While I am certainly digging the classic JRPG vibe, it also brings back unpleasant memories from Final Fantasy II.

In Final Fantasy II, trying to run around aimlessly would simply get you killed 99% of the time, as you would suddenly be jumped by monsters that could kill you by merely blinking in your direction (which was the game's "clever" way of letting you know you should only visit that portion of the game world later).

Does this happen in Breath of Death as well, or does the game allow, or even encourage, exploring your surroundings for hidden goodies?

texts: What is the super heart location in level 3-3

texts:
Charlie the Duck is a old school platform game from 1996 that was recently made available again on Steam. When I played this as a child I did not find all the hidden secrets in the game, so I was enthousiastic to give it a try.

So far I found all the super hearts in all levels, except for the last one. On the steam page there is actually a screenshot of this level where you can see three hearts. This proves that it is possible to find the heart before you get to the point in the image, which is at about 1/3 of the level.

Could somebody point out or hint at the location of the super heart in this level? I spent like two hours trying to find it in the game itself. I also spent about 15 minutes searching online, but because the original game is so old and the steam version so new, I can't find anything.

I did find this full playthrough of the original version, but the author didn't find the super heart either.

texts: Do abandoned mineshafts have a higher spawn rate for ores?

texts:
Today I mined out an abandoned mineshaft for iron ore to power my beacon. Strangely, in a timespan where I might find 1-2 stacks of iron ore through mining in normal caves, I found almost 4.

I heard a rumor a while back (no idea where it came from) that more ores will spawn near these structures. However, I was thinking that this abundance could also be due to the fact that abandoned mineshafts have a lot of surface area compared to a typical cave of comparable volume, and therefore more of the ores that already generated spawn naturally. It could also be that the mineshaft was higher than the level I usually mine at; normally, I mine at layer 10, but in this case I was somewhere between layer 30 and layer 50. Finally, this could also be purely anecdotal, e.g. I was mining for longer than I thought I was, or I simply got lucky.

So because I still need another half-stack of iron blocks to bring a beacon to full power, I'd like some input on the source of this sudden influx. Would my high yield in the aforementioned mining trip be attributed to:

The high surface area,
The higher elevation,
My bad memory and/or luck,
Or that I was mining in an abandoned mineshaft?

texts: How do I perform a double assassination in Assassin's Creed III?

texts:
This has really been bugging me throughout the game. In previous games, when you were eligible to assassinate an enemy, it would show you that you need to press the Square button in order to do so. If two enemies were standing near each other, I never seemed to have any problem assassinating both of them at the same time. All you had to do was walk up behind two enemies and it would kill both of them.

However, it seems kind of random whether or not a double assassination occurs in Assassin's Creed III. It doesn't tell you when you're eligible to perform an assassination, and I can't seem to figure out why it's not letting me do double assassinations. Following the same patterns I've always utilized in previous games yields an unexpected result - only one of the enemies is killed, and the other starts attacking me. I've only been able to pull off one double assassination in my entire time playing the game so far (out of the around twenty I've attempted) and I have no idea what I did differently that time.

How do you perform a double assassination? Am I missing some major component of the game that I'm not realizing? Am I supposed to be aligning myself in some certain way?

texts: How is fall damage calculated in Risk of Rain?

texts:
Characters in the game suffer from fall damage when dropping from high places. A few observations from playing the game:

Fall damage seems to be capped. I can't tell if it is a percentage of total health or a fixed number, but this does make it difficult to die from fall damage.
Certain skills can negate fall damage, like the Commando's Tactical Roll.
Certain items triggered by damage is also triggered by fall damage.

I would like to know if there is a formula for fall damage, if the cap is a fixed number or a percentage of total health, and if armor has any effect on fall damage.

There are two versions of Dark souls 3 on my PS4. The first disc version from when I borrowed it from my friend, and the second disc version that I bought for myself afterwards. I use the second version obviously since I still have the disc.

Recently however I purchased the DLC, and it downloaded fine and installed.

However I cannot access the DLC. I have searched online and none of the solutions help. So I searched in the Storage to see what was up. What I found was that the version of Dark souls I never use had both DLCs installed (fig. 1 & 2) and the other (the one I use) had none (Fig. 3).

How do I switch the DLC to the version that I have the actual disc for?

Do I have to contact sony or something? Is there a way to merge the two versions of the game?

Specifically, I'm wondering the following questions:

Are there any league battles after you beat the final league? If so, are they as rewarding as the final league?
Will finishing the last league allow me to do battles that reward support candy and diamonds?
What happens when you beat the last league battle when your magikarp isn't at max level? Normally this lets you start the next league, but if there is no next league, that doesn't make sense.

texts: Is there a T1 or faction frigate that can solo a Dramiel?

texts:
Dramiels are annoying when you're flying around alone, ships that do enough damage and tank enough to kill them often don't have enough range control to prevent the Dramiel from escaping.

Now, if I have a predictable enemy Dramiel pilot that flies a dual-prop Dramiel with complex MWD & AB, scram, 200mm Autocannons and a rocket launcher and T2 shield rigs and Warrior drones. It can put out around 130 dps with the autocannons and 50 from the 3 drones, it has roughly 8k EHP and can fly at least 1700 m/s on AB.

Is there any navy faction or T1 frigate (not pirate) that could kill this Dramiel? My idea would be an armor-tanked, dual-web Hookbill with a tracking disruptor, keeping the Dramiel at the edge of scram-range. What are the weaknesses of the Dramiel that I could exploit, and which ships would be suited to that task?

I have a dual monitor setup, and I want to play Monkey Island on one screen, and work on something else in the other without having to constantly pause and resume the game.

Edit:

I found a helpful Stack Overflow link that may be of use in writing a Monkey Island Un-Pauser program.

I was just playing Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer, on the map Firebase Reactor Silver. Halfway I got a notification that I was on 75% completion on the challenge Firebase Reaction silver waves. However, a few waves later, I received the challenge of the same map, but on bronze.  Is it expected behaviour that challenges like waves completed are not like stated on the N7HQ:

Firebase Reactor: Bronze Waves
Complete 100 Waves on Firebase Reactor: Bronze

but rather like:

Firebase Reactor: Bronze Waves

I'm pretty sure the answer is that it will revive with taunt & divine shield but I wanted to make sure. Also, is there any instances where it will not revive as it was when played? (obviously not including being silenced after using ancestral spirit).

texts:
I'm only a little bit into the game. I'm playing in Warrior Mode (the harder of the two difficulties) and I've completed the Spider Lair and have now left town seeking new adventures. My party is about halfway to level 3 and I've got 6 unidentified items.

So far, the only method I've discovered to identify items was the lady at the magic shop in town, who will identify items for 300 gold. Since I've only earned about 1600 gold up to this point in the game, most of which went to spell purchases, I only had enough money to identify one of the 6 items, which turned out to be fairly worthless and won't even sell for the identify cost.

It looks like in a few levels I can get an identify spell (assuming I can find a place to buy it) when I become an Expert in primordial magic, but are there any other ways to get my items identified? Right now gold seems like too precious a resource to blow it on item identification.

texts: Should I be looking closely at vendor items at higher difficulties?

texts: I've been trained by earlier versions of Diablo to consider vendor items basically worthless once you start finding your own gear.  But since I've noticed that a number of players showing their Inferno gear have blue items, it occurs to me that this might be a mistake.  Is it possible for vendors to have items that are a high enough level to generate very high stats (like +160 to primary) that would be worthwhile for a higher level character?  Or should I continue to ignore them (except in the rare case where they have a yellow for sale)?


texts:
So I'm trying to implement, mostly for entertainment sake, but also for a potential "magic" system later on in the game, a way to make snowballs invisible while in the air. I'm on Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, using
/execute @e[type=snowball] ~ ~ ~ summon skeleton ~ ~-4~

to spawn, well, skeletons in the wake of the snowball as it flies, for an undead summoner-type feel, and I know you can set it up to detect when the snowball hits the ground and summon fire there, a "fireball spell" if you will, but the only problem with both of those is that you have to deal with the snowball itself flying at you just before the effect.
It's a cool feature nonetheless, but it's certainly a bit immersion breaking when you see a snowball before the wave of undead or a sea of flames.
I tried using /execute @e[type=Snowball] ~ ~ ~ effect @e[type=snowball] invisibility 100 10 true, but the system cannot register the snowball. I tried giving it a unique name, but then I couldn't figure out how to search for entities with unique names.
I figure if I can identify the item with its unique name it might work, but even then I'm skeptical. I figure my best bet is to ask around and see if anybody has already come up with a solution for this or might potentially have some ideas for me to test out. As of right now, my only option seems to be making a new texture pack with a more immersive snowball style, but then people will just be confused when they go to dig up snow and get a fireball looking thing.

texts: How much should I train Armour if I plan on mostly relying on Dodging?

texts:
I'm playing a character who has good reasons to prioritize dodging over armour use:

I'm a Deep Elf, so I have a low base Str, a +2 dodging aptitude, and -2 armour aptitude.
I'm training Ice Magic, hoping to use Ozocubu's Armour, which only works when wearing armour with an encumbrance penalty of 4 or less.
I want to cast high-level spells (at least up to level 8 for Controlled Blink) in the late game.

I'm pretty sure this means I should be prioritizing training in dodging over training in armour, but does that mean I don't train armour at all?  Or is there some small-ish amount of armour investment that's worth it if I end up wearing, say, Troll leather armour or something like that?  If the latter, what's my target number?

texts: What are the differences between the TG16 games "Time Cruise" and "Time Cruise II"?

texts:
Time Cruise is a pinball game for the TG16/PC Engine, released by Face. It has a named "II" "sequel", but many things about this arrangement make no sense.

The games appear to be identical in every way, including graphics, music, and gameplay.
The "II" version has a copyright date of 1991, the "original" of 1992.

All art I can find of the "II" version's box art is in japanese, and uses the console name "PC Engine" rather than "TurboGrafx 16".

So this is a multipart question:

What's going on here?
Is there a J/E version of Time Cruise 1 that led to a sequel being titled 2? If not, why the numbered suffix?
Are these games substantially different in any way, or was it just an overseas rename?


texts: How does elemental damage in weapons work in Diablo II?

texts:
Some magical weapons have additional Fire/Cold/Poison/Lighting damage added. It also can be added through runes and gems. What I do not understand are two things.

1. What does each kind of damage do?

Poison is obvious, deals damage over time. Cold slows the enemies, but the other two are unclear. Fire doesn't seem to do anything spectacular, lighting as well.

2. Why are there such differences between gem damage for each kind?

The best gem for each kind of elemental damage give the following:

Ruby - 15-20 fire damage
Sapphire - 10-14 Cold Damage
Topaz - 1-40 Lightning Damage
Emerald - 100 Poison Damage over 7 Seconds (14.3 dmg/s)

From this perspective Emerald looks way more powerful than other gems. I don't think the game would be so unbalanced, so I guess I'm missing something that would explain different amounts of damage.

So once more, the question:

  Q: What are the advantages of each gem (elemental damage) with regards to the damage balance?

texts: Why isn't my Wii U GameCube controller adapter and Gamecube controller working with my Switch?

texts:
As has been widely reported, with update 4.0 of the Switch OS, Gamecube controllers can now be used to play games on the Switch when connected to the Switch dock with a Nintendo first-party Wii U Gamecube adapter.

However, when I connect my Gamecube controller to my Switch dock via a Wii U adapter (all genuine Nintendo parts), the controller is not recognized by the Switch -- the only controller it shows as being connected are the pair of Joy-Cons.

My Switch is in its dock and it is (successfully) connected to a TV.

I have the Wii U Gamecube controller adapter connected to the Switch dock by plugging both USB-A cables from the adapter into the two USB-A ports on the outside of the Switch dock.

Things I've tried:

Verifying that my Switch does have the version 4.0 OS update.
Manually having the Switch detect new controllers by going to the "Change Grip/Order" screen and then pressing and/or holding the L and R buttons on the connected Gamecube controller. (Nothing happens.)
Test the Wii U adapter and Gamecube controller with Smash Bros. for Wii U to verify they still work ok.
Reboot the Switch. (Actually rebooting, not just putting it to sleep and waking it.)
Unplug and replug the USB cables from the adapter into the Switch.
Swap the order of the two USB cables from the adapter.
Try different ports on the 4-port Wii U Gamecube adapter.
Try using a different Gamecube controller.

Why isn't this working? How can I make my Switch recognize my Gamecube controller connected via a Wii U Gamecube controller adapter?

texts: How can I get the inventory of another player on a LAN World?

texts:
In Minecraft, when you open a world to LAN, and another player joins, they effectively join as "Player 2", then "Player 3", etc.

So, let's say that we have 2 players - Bob and Dave. Bob joins my LAN World, then Dave joins. Let's say that Bob finds 20 Diamonds, and keeps them in his inventory, when the game ends (I stop hosting).

Next time, Dave joins first - he then gets Bob's inventory, meaning that he has control over the 20 diamonds.

Is there any way that I - the world owner can access these "Player 2" inventories in my save file, so that I can organise who has what?

In space station 13, as the captian of the ship, I'm always handing off the nuke disk to the Head of Security, instructing him to hide it, figuring he's better suited for it than I am.

I've seen people get it implanted into their body, so that if they die, it randomly spawns elsewhere, but that seems unfair to the Ops who have to then seek it out, and if it spawns in space, the station is screwed.

texts: Is there a good place to learn Sword or War Glove moves?

texts:
After becoming an Absolver, I was sent back to Adal to continue my training. I've learned 50-60 bare fist moves, but I have learned a whopping total of 0 war glove and sword moves, due to the fact that these break very quickly. I very rarely encounter enemies with swords and I've yet to see a single regular enemy using war gloves.

So I've now got Serah to lv99 Ravager and lv99 Medic, and Noel to lv99 Commando and lv99 Sentinel. Is there any point in using the other roles? Other than just to level up the stats?

For example I notice that although Serah is lv99 medic, she only has about 7 skills (not at my ps3) which seems odd to me.

As this is the case I'm always running Relentless Assault(RAV,RAV,COM) which is working fine so far, short of swapping in Flanitor occasionally for some heals I've not needed anything else.

If I carry on with this play style, is there actually any point at all in me levelling up any COM monsters? I've been levelling and infusing my RAV to allow him access to the different element spells, but otherwise I can't see much point in using the other roles.

Do I just keep playing and will I get better monsters as I play through? So far I've not really needed to play about with Monsters at all, and I feel reading questions on here that I'm missing out.

I've not used the Wide or Cross paradigm styles either. I stick with Regular the whole time.

texts: Is there a term for "leaderboard" or "scorebased" competitive multiplayer?

texts:
I'm attempting to research competitive games of a specific type, where the players aren't ever in "direct" competition with each other, and having difficulty describing them.  General examples include racing games, where players individually try to get the best time on a track, classic arcade games, where players attempt to obtain the highest score, or, for a more recent example, the "daily challenge" announced recently for the PC version of Spelunky, found here: http://spelunkyworld.com/dailychallenge/

The key aspect is that (for lack of a better word) the games are completely asynchronous: Player A's playthrough never has a direct effect on Player B, and vice-versa. "Asynchronous" isn't a good enough term, though, because certain turn-based board and strategy games (such as Scrabble and Chess) can be played asynchronously, but they don't fit the criteria: they are directly competitive in that Player A's turn directly affects how Player B will respond or play. In the types of games that fit the word I'm looking for, a player's performance is unaffected by all and any of the other players competing.

Is there a word or phrase to describe this type of competition?

  Tips for not getting lost underground?

Today I discovered a very big cave (I explored it for like hours and it still has a lot of places I have to visit) but suddenly I decided to go back home. I was expecting I would have some troubles finding my way home, but it took a very long time to try to go back to the entering of the cave. After several minutes of walking circularly I decided to just dig up until I saw the sky.

Now, I had a method to orientate my self toward the exit (using the direction of the torches I placed down there to indicate a previous torch or the exit) but it didn't have any success.

I think of creating a bunch (something like 12 x 64) of signs and start writing directions but I was wondering: is it really an option? would you suggest it? are there any other way to orient are yourself down in caves?

Thanks.

texts: Which locations have the most and hardest enemies in Skyrim to assist levelling up?

texts:
My character is in the later levels [60+] and at this point it's a little harder for her to level up. I had the idea of finding one of the 'hardest' barrows [one that respawns] and seeing if making a skill legendary/learning a new one whilst being there would help.
I went to Forelhost to try. The place is crawling with Draugr Deathlords and Overlords and she managed to level up two levels just whilst being there.
Which other locations have lots of advanced and difficult enemies, ideally a location which respawns?
EDIT: I should mention that my character is a Redguard who mostly uses 1H + Light Armour, but Restoration and Enchantment magic are also fine. Forms of magic like Illusion and Conjuration are 'out'. The intention is not to get to immensely high levels, but ideally anything above 80.


texts:
Warning: The spoilers in this question may spoil the game plot for you.

Okay, so near the end of the game you find the key to the cave. It's attached to a backpack, which is tied to a tree,

   which has an alarm that goes off when you find it.

I don't really understand why I found it. I mean, I know that

   I used my signal tracker thing to find it, and presumably it was the alarm that set my tracker off, but Ned Goodwin spends the whole game trying to keep you from finding the cave. It is totally unclear to me why, right at the end, he apparently abandoned that plan and set you up to find the key, and thus Brian's body. This goes against everything he spent most of the game doing and when I later found his camp, I didn't find anything that explained his change of heart. In fact, I found a note about how he lost the key.

How did the key get there?

Problem is, I know -how- to duel (point in either direction and press X to cast a spell, try to hit the other person so they run out of health first) - but I can't actually manage to win the duel - it seems that no matter what I do (cast quickly, or cast slower and build the spell strength) I lose the battle, and have to duel over and over again with no result.

Without winning, I apparently cannot get any farther in the story.

In Mists of Pandaria LFR, loot is won individually and rewarded according to spec.  However, what happens if I queue as a healer, and participate in the kill as DPS?

Assuming the relevant items on the boss loot table are leather agility wrists and a spirit ring, will I be awarded the wrists or the ring?

I have 'Katamari Damacy', and love it, except I have an extremely hard time controlling the rolling ball. It always feels awkward to me, and when I settle into playing, my thumbs quickly begin to ache from all of the strain that results in rolling-ball-direction-frustration. I'll openly admit that I tend to think that I have to move both sticks in the direction I wish to go, to perform that action. Can you offer any tips?

Also, when playing Katamari, the higher levels, I feel like in order to pass the level, I have to memorize the locations of objects in order of size and to win, to zip from one site to another like an alphabetical shopping-spree. Can you offer any advice or tips there? Am I doing it wrong?


texts: What does it mean to "fight through the pain"?

texts:
The Burning Axe of Sankis says:

  Chance to fight through the pain when enemies hit you.

What does this do?


texts: When I reached level 41 (don't know if that had anything to do with it or not), I was thinking of giving Lydia some different armor, and when I went into her inventory list all her steel armor was gone: gauntlets, boots, chest armor, everything!  She had all the ebony stuff I had given her, but not the steel.  Anyone else have this happen?

I've been wondering how multipliers stack since I got hold of Old Faithful, which deals x2 damage when the enemy hit was on full health.

Do we know how this interacts with stuff like sneak attacks? (especially when this gets ranked up beyond x2) Or critical hits? or both?

I can think of several possibilities (using x2 Sneak and x2 for full HP):

Double the doubled damage. (Damage x2) x2
Both effects applied to the base damage, and then added together. Damage x2 + Damage x2
Adding the multipliers together before muliplying? Damage x(2+2)
Only the largest multiplication effect works? Damage x2

I've had a look around google and the fallout wiki (the page for the weapon says x4, but doesn't justify this), but haven't found an answer for Fallout 4.

There is a similar question, but it is about criticals and sneak attacks specifically.


texts: Buying someone a Steam game without a Steam account

texts:
I deleted my Steam account with with 1k games on it recently because I wanted to combat my video game addiction.

I want to gift a game (specifically Artifact) to a friend, he has a Steam account and I don't. Is there a way to buy him a key or something like that so I can send him the game without having Steam?


texts:
Typically there are eight regular mineral fields per normal base, and each harvest yields five units of mineral. Rich mineral bases typically have six rich mineral fields. So once the minerals are saturated, your income per harvest for each base is:

7 * 6 = 42 for rich minerals.

5 * 8 = 40 for normal minerals.

That's a difference of 5%. Plus the rich minerals run out faster, plus these bases are often in weird places that are out of the way or difficult to defend. Yet I've played games against people who blast off their command center at the start and go straight for the rich minerals.

Is it worth the trouble to go for gold? In what situations does it make sense to go for a rich expansion?


texts:
In a Clan's information, at the very end there is a line of text starting with a # labled "Clan Tag" but when i do a on-screen text search on the Clan Wikia Page but it only finds one instance of "tag" (emphasis mine)

  In addition, it will show "NEW" if the player just joined, though the "NEW" [tag] will disappear immediately if the player is promoted to elder, co-leader or leader.

also on a player's profile page there is a similar line under their name, likewise starting with a # so i assume this is a Tag as well.

What exactly are these Tags used for?


texts: Does Animal Crossing: City Folk still work over LAN?

texts:
I have one copy for my Wii, but now my girlfriend would like to play co-op with me on our Wii U. I dont really want to go out and buy a second copy if we can't play over LAN together now that WiiConnect24 is no longer on service.

Also, please don't recommend buying New Leaf. We already own it but want something we can play on the big screen.


texts: If your WoW subscription expires, do you go back to "Starter Edition"?

texts:
I've currently got a WoW account that's in "Starter Edition" (or whatever it is they call the free neverending trial, that seems to be the name they use).

I'd like to know what happens if I subscribe and then let my subscription lapse - Can I continue playing with any sub-level-20 characters?

I did do some research, and came across this form the Blizzard FAQ:

"Please note that if a World of Warcraft trial account was previously upgraded to a paid account, it will not revert back to a trial account, even if the paid time is expired."

However, that FAQ page has some other information about Starter Edition accounts that from my experiences is completely wrong, and that portion is the only section that says "trial account" instead of "Starter Edition", so I'm not sure if its up to date.

Is there anyone who knows for sure?
