I am completely new to Minecraft. Where can I learn more about how Minecraft's so-called "seeds" work?

(I imagine the Minecraft "world" as a cellular automaton, and the "seed" as an somehow encoded initial configuration from which by certain rules an initial scenery is calculated. But this is most probably not the (whole) truth.)


texts:
The Reign of Giants DLC brought some changes into the game. For instance, when a terrible rain pours, there is a chance that frogs will come flying from the sky. After that rain there are so many of them that I couldn't count.

There is a bee hive near my base, so I guess now I have a bee sting factory. Spiders, despite the fact that they are irritated that those pesky frogs are jumping all around, hiss at them, but don't attack.

I tried bringing some pigs, but they were torn into pieces in a matter of seconds. Frogs group around all together if they see a fellow frog attacked.

I think I could bring over a Treeguard, but I'm not sure he or the frogs would attack one another.

How do I safely move the herd of frogs away from my base?

texts:
I have all the Skyrim DLCs, and a few mods. I can't do the original quest and I can't do shouts (which is really annoying).

I killed the dragon Dumviir (or something like that) in the quest where the Jarl of Whiterun sends you to kill said dragon. But I can't absorb it's dragon soul.

I killed it and all the guards say "she must be Dragonborn!" and they all look scared, but nothing happens. I have all the unofficial patches (skyrim, dawnguard, hearthfire, dragonborn and high res) and SMPC (aka USKP addon) installed but they didn't fix it.

Has anyone else had similar issues?

The hole/ slot is right in front of the gate you came through (or over, actually) and has two torches pinned to the wall above it. If you go near it, the prince says "I wonder what this this for..." — I haven't been able to figure it out, does anyone know what that slot is for?

texts: Does my level at time of reincarnation matter?

texts:
I have never been fond of reincarnation in any Disgaea game, but I decided to do it in Disgaea 5.

It is my understanding that you keep the skills from your previous class, as well as stat bonuses from when you previously created this character. So every time you reincarnate, those stat bonuses will keep adding up.

I have a workflow that allows me to get 5000 mana to reincarnate Killia fairly quickly. Usually when he reaches level 150 or so.

My question is: does the level at time of reincarnation matter? What if I reincarnate Killia at level 150 instead of level 2000? If I reincarnate him at level 2000, do I get bigger benefits? Is there a limit to the times reincarnation would be useful?


texts: What ending do you get with brainless Randy?

texts:
In Illbleed, if you rescue all your friends you get the "good" ending (with them sitting around on a beach, wondering what to do with all of the prize money). But if you rescue Randy without getting his brain back first, he can't talk properly in cutscenes after that (especially, and hilariously, notable if you use him for the "Killerman" stage).

So what kind of ending do you get for the game if you rescue everyone, but leave Randy brainless? The bad ending (as if you failed to save some of them)? The normal good ending (with Randy miraculously being able to talk normally again)? Or a variation of the good ending with him speaking gibberish like in other cutscenes?


texts:
I'm specifically interested in the current Gilded Rage event, but this really applies to pretty much all of the events.

Should I even bother trying to participate in these large events if I don't have QL10 gear? The event bosses seem to spawn all over, but apparently have the same stats regardless of which zone they spawn in. If one is in a low-level zone where I can get to the fight and won't get insta-ganked by random wanderers, will I still die instantly against a boss? Will I be able to contribute meaningfully?
I joined the relevant chat channel to find out more about where the bosses were up, but I'm not sure how to interpret the messages. They typically say "Dim (number), Serv (number), (acronym), (coordinates)". I know the acronym is the zone and the coordinates are where in the zone. Dim is dimension and serv is server, I assume, but do I have to wait for a boss to spawn in my dimension/server (how do I even know which one I'm in?), or is there a way for me to switch over?
How does one participate? Just show up and zerg the boss? Or do people normally form properly coordinated groups? If more than one group (raid group?) is involved, does only one group get the drop(s)?
How do drops work? Does everyone (in the killing group?) get a drop, or are they rolled on as usual? If rolled on, how many items typically drop? What are your chances of getting one?


texts: I've ran out of chocolate bars and didn't realize I could enchant my giant spoon and knight's armor. Is there any way to get more reliably?


texts:
I see every almost every enemy Mid laner knowing when to gank bot or top, or at least ganking even if the timing is not right, but me. I don't really know when to gank bot or top or where to place wards to catch off guard the enemy Jungler and get an easy kill.

Even if I kill my enemy laner I will keep farming the wave that is in front of me and probably the next one as well under the enemy turret. The chances of me going to gank bot sadly are extremely low.

I would like to get some tips on when to gank bot or top since it seems that I can't really find any time in the game to gank other lane because I'll be too busy farming.


texts: Show progress of achievements post 5.0.4?

texts:
So now that we've got account-wide achievements for all the characters, you can seemingly no longer toggle the convenient achievement tracker with the progress bar on your characters anymore.

Though this isn't really that big a deal for most achievements, it gave me a more tangible indicator of where I was in my progress in a given zone. I know that I can still Shift-click the achievement and see its header displayed on my screen, and then I can click that to see the progress bar in the Achievements window to see where I sit, but...

Is there a way that I can get the progress bar back on my screen to minimize clicks?


texts: How to execute at the same height as an entity?

texts:
My problem is that I want to give every player on the same height as an area_effect_cloud within a radius of 25 blocks a scoreboard called 'stunned'.

The command for that would look something like this:

/execute @e[type=area_effect_cloud] ~ ~ ~ /scoreboard players set @a[y=~,r=25] stunned 1

But the only problem is that the y=~ is not a thing in Minecraft, does anyone have a solution to this, that isn't 1 or more command block for every height?

texts: On the swarming behavior of Dratinis (or other rare Pokemon) in the wild

texts:
I realize that Pokemon Go quite possibly hasn't been out long enough to answer my question, but I'm curious if anyone else has seen a similar occurrence:

I discovered pretty quickly after downloading the app that a small pond along my route to work seemed to be absolutely crawling with Dratinis - something like six showing up within the radar. Catching one, I figured I'd check again the next day to see if they were still there.

Same thing the next day, a couple showed up on the radar, caught another. Sweet, this must be a Dratini nest, I think to myself.

Skip forward a few days to today. I've been past the same spot at about the same time in the morning, and the numbers of Dratini encountered have gone to zero the past two days. Which leads me to wonder...

Is there perhaps a "swarming" behavior for rare Pokemon in Pokemon Go? As in, rare Pokemon appear at a location in large numbers for only a limited amount of time?


texts: Why do I shoot enemies in the left arm most of the time?

texts:
Here are my Counter Strike 1.6 rankstats for a certain period of play:

Kills : 971 (309 with hs)
Hits  : 3727
Shots : 17387
Acc.  : 21.43%

HITS      :
head      :  424 (11.95%)
chest     :  607 (17.10%)
stomach   :  406 (11.44%)
leftarm   : 1214 (34.21%)
rightarm  :  420 (11.83%)
leftleg   :  223 ( 6.28%)
rightleg  :  255 ( 7.19%)

Notice the very high percentage of shots aimed at the enemy's left arm. When shooting, I normally aim for the chest hoping for a headshot on the second or third fire but too may shots on left arm is unexplainable. Do I need to change my crosshair settings? Or should I aim a little towards right?

texts:
I am trying to connect my 3DS to my work wifi connection. It is an open wifi network that uses a username/password-based login after initially connecting. On my phone or any device, I pull up a browser and enter the information, then I am good to go until I disconnect.

On my 3DS, it is a bit different. I can connect to the wifi just fine, and even login to the page. However the simple act of re-opening the web browser or attempting to connect online in Pokemon ORAS is re-connecting to the wifi and prompting the login. A minor annoyance in the 3DS's web browser, but a show-stopper for the 3DS.

An alternative option would be to install a certificate on my 3DS that would enable access to the protected wifi network. However I cannot find any information on this. If it matters, I would like to point out that the firewall would not block my game. It is solely the wifi login that is causing me problems.

Is there any way to be able to connect Pokemon ORAS in this manner?


texts: Can a Jorrvaskr Companion die permanently as a follower?

texts:
I've been having Companions as followers for a while but many of them die during quests. I took Athis with me during the Civil War quest and he tragically died - only to show up later on in the game back at the Jorrvaskr! I felt horrendous when he died so I'd abstained from using Companions as followers and such, until I realized that Athis had respawned and the Companions appear not to die quite permanently. I also experienced Aela, Torvar and Njada's deaths but they haven't respawned yet. :/ So now I'm worrying it might be a glitch.

Is this true? Has anybody else experienced this?

For example: The life gain from the monk's passive skill Transcendence has been increasing.  Why?

On the server MCMagic, I found a head inside a glass block at the Japan pavilion (/warp japan) in Epcot. Because this was the first time I have come across that, I have no idea how it was done.

In singleplayer, I tried using a piston to shove a head inside a glass block, but the head kept dropping itself. Then, I tried placing more glass blocks around the first one to prevent the head from popping out, but it still did after I activated the piston. How do I keep a head inside a glass block?

texts: Does Fallout 4 for PS4 limit the number of saved games?

texts:
I just upgraded my PS4 with a 2TB internal hard drive, yet I cannot create more saved games because of some limit. I think I had 40 game saves (not including the game's few auto-saves) and Fallout 4 wouldn't let me create any new saves until I manually deleted some first.

Is that a PS4 infrastructure restriction on a game, to keep all games within some system-wide number of saves, or is it an arbitrary number imposed by the game?

texts: What causes certain PlayStation 2 game disks to spin quicker than others whilst in the drive?

texts:
When playing games on my PlayStation 2, I recall that certain titles span much quicker than others - I could tell this by the noise that my console used to make during gameplay when resources were physically being read from the disk.

My original assumption was that this was only the case for actual PlayStation 2 games distributed on standard 700 MB CDs, rather than the more common situation where PlayStation 2 titles are sold on DVDs. Does anybody know if this is in fact the case, and if not what causes certain games to spin faster whilst in the drive?

texts: Can't deal damage to ghosts. Is this a bug or mod effect?

texts:
I can not deal damage to ghosts in Skyrim. Arrows are flying right through them. Spells too. Does anyone know if this is some kind of effect from SkyRe or any other mod?

I have unofficial patches, SkyRe, Apocalypse, Frostfall, Alternate Start and a bunch of visual mods installed.

I tried turning off all the mods in the nexus mod manager except for Update, Dawnguard, HearthFires and Dragonborn. Still can't deal damage to ghosts.

Also I've found a workaround: Apocalypse has two spells: phantom image and feint warfare. First one creates a dummy that is supposed to distract everyone. Second one makes this dummy cast a fake destruction spell. Turns out that fake destruction spell does damage to ghosts.

The question here is how can I troubleshoot it, what might be the cause and how to fix it.

The Whiptongue Bulborb is giving me enormous amounts of trouble. Whenever I get into a fight with one I wind up using a large number of Pikmin, which just isn't acceptable. I try getting around to its back, but it moves fast enough that doing so is easier said than done. Even when I manage to get my Pikmin onto the Whiptongue it still manages to eat up my Pikmin, and when it shakes my Pikmin off I'll often lose one or two. I've tried calling them off before it shakes but that results in me doing almost no damage.

texts:
I'm struggling with the combat system in FFXV. While I kinda got used to the controls and animations of most things I still find myself having problems with parrying attacks so I wanted to know if there are some tricks I haven't heard about that can help with parrying attacks.

My current problem is that I often see the "Square to parry" Icon appear but whenever I press (or hold) square in that moment I either roll away (normal dodge) or I'm just sent flying around by the opponent.

I have 3 questions about parrying:

What determines whether an attack is parryable? (For example facing the enemy, strong attacks, ranged attacks etc)
What is the time window and the method of parrying? As I said i tried holding/pushing the parry button at different times when the icon appears but I can't really see a pattern of when and how to press the button.
Is parrying even worth it? I have the impression that parrying is strong but I'm a complete noob when it comes to Final Fantasy. Is it better to just roll/dodge when I'm under attack?

texts: Can I somehow use special spells like Quake?

texts:
During the main story, Oliver gains lots of spells from various places and people. Some of them can't be used from the spells menu and in the Wizard's Companion they appear with dark background but without any special explanation why they can't be used.

Everything I found points that it's a lost cause and those spells can't be used, period. For example:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/998014-ni-no-kuni-wrath-of-the-white-witch/answers?qid=349186

  The Quake spell cannot be used at all. As you might remember, it has been said that not all spells are meant to be used by all wizards (I believe it was Old Father Oak who said t hat), and quake (Along with a handful of other spells) is unfortunately one of those that Oliver, for one reason or another, cannot cast.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/ni-no-kuni-wrath-white-witch/187336-spells-i-cant-use.html

  There's just a bunch you can't use as far as I could tell. They did say early in the game that no wizard can use all spells, but then why even have them unlock in my opinion.

But I refuse to give up. Maybe if you finish the game 3 times or do something spectacular? Those spells are just too great to be just a tease! Any official information would be welcome.

texts:
I'm playing on normal mode and the very first boss is handing my butt to me.

I realised fairly quickly that he has trouble tracking you if you just spam dodge under his feet, so it's not hard to get in a little damage... until you time your attacks wrong (or just run out of patience), get grabbed and lose a quarter of your health guaranteed. (bonus question: how can I cancel out this sequence?)

By the time his friends come about however all bets are off. While each of those enemies isn't hard on his own their combination just overwhelms me.

I guess a first step would be to improve my battle tactics a bit above button mashing (I dodge instead of shift attacking all the time) but I believe my strategy is also lacking.

How do I deal with this big dumb guy?

texts: Can I import savegames from Tropico 4 to Tropico 4 Gold?

texts:
So far I played Tropico 4 without Modern Times, but now I purchased the Gold Edition containing basegame and expansion pack.

Is there any way I can copy my progress from the base game to the gold edition?

I already looked into C:\\Users\Name\Application Data\Tropico 4[ Gold]\. If I only copy the users folder in this directory I can choose my name from the base game, but progress is completely lost (achievements as well as campaign status and save games). If I instead copy the complete folder the save games and everything is there, but there is nothing left from the expansion pack (except that the version is 1.5 instead of 1.0).

I've just started playing Dwarf Fortress, and I'm noticing that at least 75% of my population (now 46 dwarfs) are complaining about flies.  I don't see them anywhere, although I do at one point remember seeing a 'swarm of flies'.

Google tells me that it's because I'm not putting my food in bins/barrels/containers but look at my stockpiles ALL I see are barrels, I started cranking them out specifically because of this.

I had thought perhaps that they just had a really long memory, but recent births into my population proves otherwise as the babies appear to have an issue with flies too.

What gives?

texts: "Waiting for chunk..." or "Loading terrain..." when joining a LAN game

texts:
I am trying to play with a friend of mine over Hamachi in her world via the LAN game option. This worked fine until a few days ago. Whenever I try to join her world, one of two things will happen:

I can join her world, but no chunks are loaded and the debug menu says "Waiting for chunk" (see image below)

Before I join her world, my Minecraft gets stuck on the "Loading terrain..." screen.

Both eventually end with a "Server timed out" error. She played in the same way (over Hamachi, LAN game) with another friend (or me a week ago) without any issue and can join a world running on my computer without any issues. My computer is a potato though, which is why she would like to be the host.
I am currently running on Linux, she is on Windows, so I thought this maybe was a "Linux being weird" type issue, so I slapped a fresh Windows 10 installation on my computer, downloaded my graphics card drivers, Hamachi and Minecraft, only to be greeted with the same behavior I described previously.
We both added exceptions for Minecraft/Java to our firewall, disabled any anti virus software, tried playing on a different world, [F3]+[A] to reload chunks and restarted our computers and routers. The fact that her friend could join her without any issue makes me think that the issue is definitely on my side, although I can join big servers, like HiveMC, without any issue.
After hours of googling and trying solutions, I am totally lost. The last difference we could think of was that I have a Mojang account without any connections to Microsoft, and she and her friend have an account tied to Microsoft. But I cannot force my account to migrate and have to wait for Microsoft to unlock this option, which is why I cannot test this.

I'm currently just starting the game and leveling a Huntress.  She is 31 at the moment.  What are some good places to farm XP?  I can do Insane difficulty Deeper Well but it is somewhat boring doing run after run, so I would like to know other dungeons that yield good XP but are a little more challenging and engaging.  I have completed Alchemy Lab on Hard alone which was a a lot of fun, but quite a lot of time invested for not as much XP as I could get while doing Deeper Well runs.

This will have to be done solo so I'm not looking for the power leveling in ramparts with a lvl 70 friend.  I'm looking for the level with the moderate to best bang for my buck for XP but still pretty fun.

If Deeper Well is my best bet, what would be my second option, assuming it is more entertaining.

texts: How can I get this goblin out of the ground?

texts:
I'm stuck in the second room of the lost temple in Darksiders II. In this room, I am supposed to maneuver a golem into a socket to open the next door. However, I fooled a bit around with the golem and suddenly, the golem moved some six feet into the ground. Thus, the golem is now buried literally up to its throat in the ground.

I can still mount the golem and can let him punch through the ground, but it's impossible to move him. Is there any possibility to get the golem out of the ground? Unfortunately, the game had already auto-saved the position of the golem when I reloaded the save state, so that it reappered in the ground at the exact same place.

Is there any way to reset the golem's position? I tried leaving the area and reentering, but this didn't help either.

If there is no possibility to resolve this issue and my save game is rendered useless by this bug, can anyone provide a WiiU save state at approximately this place in the game?

texts: Where are the best house locations in Skyrim?

texts:
I'm looking for the best house location, for two different types of characters.

Craftsman:

The house must be very near to, or include:

Alchemy Lab
Arcane Enchanter
Forge and/or Anvil
Grindstone
Workbench
Smelter
Tanning Rack

For the Craftsman, the house in Whiterun is great except it lacks close access to an Arcane Enchanter.  The same applies for Riften, but it's missing a Smelter instead.  So far, these are the only two houses I have.  Are there any that cover them all, either purchasable or inheritable through marriage?

Merchant:

The house must be very near to, or include:

Apothecary
Blacksmith
Inn
Jeweler
Spells Shop
Fence (optional)
General Store (optional)

Most of the places I've considered have fairly good coverage for all of the above, except for the Spells Shop and/or Fence.  Also, some places have the marketplace (complete as it may or may not be) positioned relatively far away from the general residential area.

A few clarifications:

By "include", I mean to presume that the house has been fully upgraded.  So, the house in Riften can be considered to "include" an Alchemy Lab, Arcane Enchanter, and Tanning Rack.

Houses which can be bought directly by the player are preferable, though I'd also be interested in high-value locations which can be acquired through marriage.

I do expect to get two separate listings, as outlined above, since I really doubt there is one property that has ideal access to all of these resources.  Still, if there is such a house (or one that comes very close), I'd like to hear of it too.

texts: What are the odds of a librarian villager selling Mending books at tier 1?

texts:
I'm currently interested in finding a librarian villager that sells Mending enchanted books, since I have been fishing forever and it's just too slow. My logic is once I find a single Mending villager, I technically have a limitless resource of mending books, so why not give it a shot?

I have a working villager farm already, but I was wondering, what are the odds of a librarian villager spawning and being able to sell Mending books at tier 1? The wiki says the following

  The enchantment is chosen randomly, with equal chance of any enchantment type occurring and equal chance to get any level of it, so higher-leveled enchantments are as likely to get as low-leveled enchantments. The price in emeralds depends on enchantment level and "treasure" status. The possible values are 5 – 19 emeralds for Lvl I, 8 – 32 for Lvl II, 11 – 45 for Lvl III, 14 – 58 for Lvl IV, and 17 – 71 for Lvl V. For "treasure" enchantments the price is doubled. Note that the cost is capped to 64, meaning that for example Lvl V books truly range from 17 - 64 emeralds with costs at the upper end of the range being more common.

Does this mean that, there being 30 total enchantment types, I have a 1/30 chance of the librarian being a Mending seller, or is the enchanting pool made out of every enchantment at every level?

For example, taking into account only Sharpness and Infinity, and Sharpness having 5 levels, is the enchantment pool 6 or is it 2 and then if Sharpness is selected, a random level is selected?

texts: Do non-proc-shots fired by elemental weapons still carry the weapon's element?

texts:
TL:DR: If my slag weapon procs its slag effect, should I switch to another non-slag weapon or will my majority of non-proc-bullets be sufficient to make use of the slag.

If a weapon is of the Slag element, does this make every bullet it fires of said element, or just the shots that proc the effect?

In field concept, say I'm using this here rifle:

If I shoot a critter with the above weapon, and I shoot a burst of say 10 rounds, (ignore the mag size you see above) assuming round #4 procs the slag effect and is the only round to proc the effect, will the other rounds fired after round #4 do extra damage due to their not being slag, or will they count as alternate sources of slag despite not proc-ing the weapons effect.

texts: Why is there a sharp increase in the difficulty curve at Pulse?

texts:
I spent my weekend playing through Final Fantasy 13 and managed to get up to Pulse late afternoon Sunday.

I haven't been avoiding any encounters the entire way through, I've used good strategies to get good weapon upgrades (pouring 36 Sturdy Bones and then anywhere between 20 and 50 Turbojets once the weapon has reached x3 EXP BONUS). My characters up until now have shredded anything they come up against including an easy Barthandelus battle.

I made my way through the Ark with ease and defeated Bahamut and afterwards made my way to Pulse.

OK so now I'm here on Pulse and have defeated Hope's Eidolon. I've reached the huge open area where you have access to Cie'th stone quests and suddenly I feel like I've missed something major or should have done a tonne of farming beforehand.

There are a scarce few enemies here I can actually defeat. The King Behemoth gets me once it stands up and starts using Thundaga to kill my party in two strikes. The huge turtle things - I don't even understand how these could possibly be beaten at all. The wolves in groups larger than 3 are too tricky to bother. The bird type enemies use an attack called "Feeding Stoop" or similar that kills a party member instantly. Etc etc.

Is this a point in the game where I need to venture around these enemy types and slowly (very slowly) work my characters up through fighting the smaller enemies like Goblins and other smaller creatures? Or have I accidentally bypassed a huge portion of the game somewhere and am ridiculously underpowered?

Some skills even list more than one of those.

I've been paying more attention to the cost of certain ships. It would seem obvious that the more slots a ship has, the more expensive it will be. However, there seems to be a lot of inconsistencies with this. The jump from 15 to 20 slots may only be 800,000 Units, but from 20-30 becomes 5 million Units.

Is there a set calculation for how much ships cost? Does affiliation with a race determine how expensive their ships may be?

texts:
After successful military campaigns, I often end up earning the ire of my vassals for "too many duchies". To resolve this, I go to duchies I don't want, pick one of the counts in that duchy, and make them duke. If duchy does not exist, I create a duchy, and then do this.

However, I am actually not sure how to pick the best duke. I generally pick the count in the duchy's territory who likes me the most to minimize revolt risk. However while picking a -100 vassal is obviously undesirable, in practice the boost from being made Duke ensures that whoever I pick will have a pretty positive view of me anyway - so the revolt risk is low either way. Also, once the duke dies, there is little assurance his successors will like me as well.

Since my main factor, relations, fails to discriminate much between candidates, I am forced to essentially pick at random. I feel like I could be doing a better job.

Is there some kind of strategy to selecting a new duke? What are important factors to consider?

For instance, I can see that when given the choice between an ambitious and non-ambitious duke, the latter is preferable. But what if there are multiple candidates none of whom is ambitious?

texts: FOTS - Foreign units disappeared when realm divide

texts:
Was playing a Fall of the Samurai dominion campaign (normal difficulty clan with very hard difficulty combats). I rushed to foreign units and bought only Imperial infantry, Imperial guard infantry and Colonial infantry (not sure the name for the last, the one you get by having a british port).

When the "Realm divided" came, I chose to stand alone against the rest of Japan, just to try to survive (already finished a game fighting for the Shogun). But instantly all my units except agents and generals just... disappeared... I went instantly from 12k gold per turn to 32k just because I lost so much of my fees.

Tried to Google my problem but cannot find a single other player facing my problem. Is this a know bug ?

A while back in Team Fortress 2 not only was the Soldier's v_model changed to the c_model but morally everything was. Since I use the soldier the most, I was curious if there was a way to use or get a skin that looks like the v_model since it interferes with my performance.

Here are two images to compare the differences. This is the new one using the c_model:

This is the old one using v_model, which I would like the end result to look like:

In conclusion I am asking if there is a way to use the v_model for the soldier, if not, would there happen to be a skin that would match this look?


texts:
What i want to do: use ability (as corrosive bile) once per click, without requiring new ability key presses between casts (as c). but it has to replace units current orders or a bonus would be adding cast to front of orders queue so unit will go back to its previous task (eg amove).

Using shift only works when at rest because it adds order to end of queue as it should.

Im using queen transfuse ability. it targets friendly units. if you dont line up ability key correctly you select the target unit as you click it. so i guess healing on the move is out?

Added: i will solve the accidental selecting of target by binding ability cast to a key (z) instead of using mouseclick. That's still two keypresses. (If its same key as ability its really buff!)

Rephrase of question 2019-10-29:
I want to use shift with abilities for one mouseclick or keypress per use, but i dont want to stop units first.

Added 2019-11-01:
Casting while holding shift will take effect when theres no visible enemies to  chase. (stricter than i thought.) my test: wounded queens in sight of 1 enemy. stop queens => T => hold shift => click queen => no heal till no enemy in sight.

texts: My highway is backing up. What can I do?

texts:
Initial note: Having read How do I design an efficient exit from a large one-way road?, the answers there do not help in this specific situation, as they rely on having lots space to spare - I have very little.

When I started my city, I designed a simple exit from the default highway that I thought was sustainable: I left enough space around it to upgrade the road as I needed to, which has worked up until now. However, I am now stuck with a six-lane one-way exit from the highway that isn't getting used: since cars seem to pick the most efficient lane to get where they want to go, regardless of traffic, the rightmost lane fills up, then spills over onto the highway. This blocks the highway, my bus routes, and more importantly my planned emergency routes.

My setup looks like this:

The red arrows show road direction, and the orange line is the traffic backed up. Note that in this image, I have replaced the six-lane one-way exit with a highway exit, as this is just about as efficient...

This situation is getting to be pretty bad, and is bringing half my city to a standstill. Its effects compound themselves further down the highway:

In this image, the orange line is the traffic directly caused by this exit not working. This traffic jam then blocks two exits/entrances further down, on the red crosses; the yellow line shows the traffic jam caused by these being blocked. In other words, my inefficient exit design is now blocking itself from moving.

So this is a two part problem.

Considering that I'm constructing a residential district in the space above left of the problem exit, and would like to keep the solution inside the power line, how can I redesign this exit to be more efficient?
How do I solve the ring of traffic jams? Is it a simple case of just deleting and replacing a bit of road?

Some enemies, after you kill them, leave a corpse behind, some just dissolve in the air and leave nothing.

P.S. Note, The Ashen One also disappears after death leaving no corpse behind.

Since my attack pattern is nearly exclusively one-handed, is it any use for me to reset the one-handed to 15 and get hit with a "nerf" in one-handed damage? (i.e) Do my one-handed damage decrease on resetting to legendary?

So banishing is the only way to steal gold? Is it correct that this procedure doesn't work? I assumed it did because if a vassal of mine dies without heirs, I get their land (dunno about their gold though).
PS: this is an Ironman game, please consider this when writing your answer.


texts: How to change your Minecraft character's name

texts: On my phone it changes the character's names weirdly. In order to change it, you have to press the delete button a bunch of times and press space to get rid of the name one letter at a time. I don't know how to put in a name because it always jumbles up the letters when I put it in.  And I have to delete it and start over again. I can't figure out how to make it type normally. Can someone please help?

texts: How to host a minecraft server with minigames for a LAN party?

texts:
I want to setup a small LAN party for my son and his friends. They really want the Hipixel / Mineplex experience but I'm not sure  if my internet connection will support them all playing online at the same time. Is it possible to setup a similar experience with a local server?
I'm not worried about the networking, more the server setup. I assume the process is create a server, install some custom maps, but is there more to it than that? What custom minigame maps are available?

Can anyone point me to any guides?


texts: Can I skip screens after catching a pokemon?

texts:
After catching a wild pokemon, there are many screens/messages I have to click through:

Multiplier + catch rewards screen
Exp gain screen
Pokemon info screen
"You tucked xyz away" message

Is there anything I can do to skip past these? A huge amount of the time it takes to catch pokemon is wasted on these screens.

Similarly, when I feed candy to my pokemon, it takes three clicks per candy and I can only feed a single candy at a time. Is there any way to speed this process up?


texts:
Every since I updated my CCC for my AMD Radeon I have been able to see through my character's Armor, Hair, and other creature (creatures? features?). This has happened in Skyrim and World of Warcraft. I have tried a couple of fixes myself.

  WoW:

  I changed the Direct X from 10 to 11. (This solution worked.)

  Skryim:

  I have tried overriding the game specific's for the graphics with CCC... no luck.
  I have uninstalled CCC all together which caused the game to go back to normal. (So it had to be the latest update)

I would love to just keep it gone but I don't see why I should.

I would like to know if anyone else had a similar problem, and how they managed to fix it. I dont mind deleting the program but I would like to know what is doing this and how to fix it incase such a thing were to happen again in the future.


texts: Where do I find slow and dry moving zombies for the quest "They Never Stop Coming"?

texts:
On tier 3 of the quest 'They Never Stop Coming' from Norma Creed, you need to kill four specific kinds of zombie.

The four kinds you're asked for are:

Zombie cultists
Fast and dry moving zombies
Slow and dry moving zombies
Wet zombies

I have found that wet zombies appear to just be Mariner zombies out on the street in front of her house, and that the cultists can be found in the field behind Norma's house (Reawakened Cultists). The fast zombies are pretty much everywhere (Returned Townies) but where do I find slow and dry moving zombies?

texts: What are the similarities and differences between Sim City 3000 and CityVille?

texts:
I have read about and looked into CityVille. How does it compare to Sim City 3000?  My guess is that it's more social (since SimCity was 0% social), but probably a bit watered-down as well, since they're trying to cater to more casual gamers.

So I guess what I'm asking is, how deep is CityVille?  As deep as SC3K?

Also, one thing that bothers me about social games is the NEED to either pull out your pocketbook or recruit your friends.  I'd rather just play, play, play for hours.  How much does CityVille require you to either pay (for "CityBucks" or something) or recruit/interact with friends?

So, in general, perhaps a good question to ask is, how is CityVille similar to/different from SC3K?

Thanks! :)

I main as Kayle often, so my mastery score displays as about 850k and rising.

texts: Do you have enough Gem-Slots to support 3 offensive Spells?

texts:
Is it possible to support 3 Damage Spells with each its own support gems with lategame gear?
Would you have to sacrifice support-spells to achieve this?

Not the topic, background:

My goal at the moment is Freezing Pulse + Ice Spear. One for the Shotgun melee range/damage, the other for the sniping range and extra damage versus ranged mobs or bosses. However if there weren't enough slots, I would have to decide for one which is not the topic. Btw the third (or second if the answer is no) is Ball Lightning to trigger  Elemental Equilibrium.

~ This is part of an answer of my initial question ~ Added after getting more knowledge ~

My damage spells:

Ice Spear - 5 up to 6 sockets
Ball Lightning - 4 sockets
Freeze Pulse - 4 sockets

Besides of Damage Spells I need:

Reduced mana - 3 up to 4 sockets
Chance when Damage (level 20) Taken - 3 up to 4 sockets
Chance when Damage (level 1) Taken - 2 up to 4 sockets
Lightning Warp -  1 up to 3 sockets
Curse -  1 socket (up to 3 if space)
Teleport - 1
(7. Cast when Stunned - 2 sockets) (if space)

Minimum: 11 sockets (no damage spells)
Maximum: 21 sockets (no damage spells)

So the ultimate question is. How many Damage spells can I still equip into sockets (with sufficient support of course) with all this, and what do I have to sacrifice?

In the introduction stage of Mega Man X5, there is a statue that Sigma hides behind before attacking.

I'd like to know what this is a statue of. Whoever she is, she has an entire park dedicated to her and Sigma managed to have the statue of her built around him. The (unofficial) wiki doesn't get much more specific than just calling it "a statue" and the English name for the stage is only called "Statue Park." Further, I don't know of any female characters in the original Mega Man games that resemble this woman.


texts:
I was playing Destiny online yesterday night with a couple of friends and the matches annoying.
Aside from connections, there was something really strange going on: one of those two friends of mine was playing with my "same" connection, meaning we have the same ISP subscription (so same network download & upload speed), same router and we live in the same building (so we're equally far from the nearest ISP's network node). We even have the same router's ports opened, but every time we were having hard times in game, he was receiving game images one second or so before me.

The only thing that differs is the TV: I have a 40" Samsung Full-HD and he has a 50" Hisense LTDN50K680XWSEU3D. So I remembered about frame rate, Hz and response time and googled everything. I found that TVs with higher Hz are better cause they show smoother images BUT the human eye  only detects changes about every 1/25th second (so it's near 80Hz).

After this long premise, my question is simple: what's the best Hz amount for a perfect gaming experience? My friend's Hisense TV has 400Hz and a response time of 6.5ms. I think that something like 100Hz and 20ms of response time would be perfect for console gaming but I'm not sure.

It seems to be the consensus for the average Barb in Inferno that the best follower is Enchantress, for the Armour buff as most, like myself, are building their character for surviabilty (LOH, armour, high res, block%, vit).  What I find is that she does seem to die very quickly.

What is the best way to equip her? At the moment I have her with a high dps 2h weapon with high int/vit, and the 2 rings and amulet also have high int/vit. So she is doing around 5k dmg and has 30-40k hp.

texts:
Possible Duplicate:
  Is it possible to change from a member of the Dawnguard, to a Vampire Lord or vice versa (permanently)?

This is simply a simplified version of my extensive previous question.

Of course, there are two main sides in Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC, one can be either a Vampire Lord or hunter, of vampire, saviour of light: a member of the Dawnguard.

I simply ask if it is possible to switch from a Vampire to a member of the Dawnguard once you have initiated the quest as a Vampire. I am currently searching for the second Elder Scroll (as a Vampire), for I have found the one from Oblivion.

Please reference my previous question: Is it possible to change from a member of the Dawnguard, to a Vampire Lord or vice versa (permanently)? for a further background

I of course realise loading games shall most likely lead to me to the option again yet that would be a last resort, perhaps even not an option.

texts: New Switch vs Old Switch - What's the real difference?

texts:
I wonder what's the real difference between the old and new Switches.

I read that the new Switch has up to 100% better battery life:

New switch has 4.5-9 hours battery life, old Switch has 2.5-6.5 hours battery life

I also read that the batteries are the same:

Interestingly, the size of the Nintendo Switch's battery hasn't changed between the revisions. The new model still has the original 4,310mAh battery capacity.

So what's the real difference between the old Switch and new Switch?

Is it just some firmware update that forces the screen to dim, thereby increasing the battery life?

Are there any other differences with the new Switch? I also see that the weight of the two Switches is exactly the same, both are 400g.

texts: Average performance in ESO with my setup

texts:
At first I thought that the game itself just can't handle my setup as it has been released recently. Some guys may agree with that.

But I'm not happy with that. I do not get hard stuttering with my PC, but there has to be anything that I can get way more performance in ESO. I get around 30-60 FPS everywhere, no matter if I'm in a region where my graphics card gets stress-tested or has to rest.

When opening GPU-Z and the Taskmanager, I always see that my GPU only uses about half of it's capacity.

You can also see that my Fan Speed is at about 10%, which means that my GPU is sleeping while I play the game. Also my CPU got some capacity left, so that may not be the bottleneck.

In every other game I have no problem running at superultra-settings-and-beyond, but ESO seems to have a little personal warfare against me.

Sure there might be a performance patch or even an adjusted nVIDIA driver, but this more seems to me as I have to say my GPU that ESO is a game that needs juice.

How can I achieve a better performance?

Setup:
AMD FX-8150 @stock
GTX 670 DirectCU II @stock
Game on SSD with space left
Windows 8.1

texts: Should I install the Intel Drivers for Linux to make Minecraft faster?

texts: My computer is pretty old and doesn't handle Minecraft very well. When I played on Windows 7, the max FPS I'd ever get was about 25-30. And, on top of that, the FPS would fluctuate a lot. When the 1.8 update came out in September 2014, I was disappointed because my computer wouldn't run it, and I assumed it was a graphics card problem. So I installed Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS, and found not only that I could run 1.8, but Minecraft was much faster. However I figured that the open source Ubuntu drivers would be slower than the official Intel ones for Linux. However, I'm scared to install the Intel drivers, because I don't want my Minecraft quality to go back to being as bad as it was in Windows 7, and installing the Intel drivers may prevent my computer from running 1.8 again. So, should I install the Intel drivers or leave it be?

For example's sake, say I breed Wish onto Eevee. A little down the line I replace it with... draining kiss (provided evolving it into Sylveon doesn't delete the ability to relearn these egg moves) but then I decide I want to give it away to my friend over Wifi.

I see a lot of words flying about when talking about StarCraft 2 strategies.  Things like Rush, Timing, Contain, Push, 6Pool, Cheese... It would be quite helpful to have a list of the accepted vocabulary in one place.

What are the common terms used when talking about StarCraft 2 strategies and playstyles, and what do they mean?

Here are a compilation of the answers:

Build Order: A rough plan for which structures and units to get in the early part of a game.  Build order's seldom extend past engagement with the enemy, but will sometimes account for likely transitions later in the gam.
Economy: The units, structures and positioning used for gathering Minerals/Vespene Gas (or any other resource in other RTSes)
Macro: The process of continually producing offensive units, or the unit producing structures that allow you to make those units.
Micro: The process of precisely controlling the units of an attack force to do the most damage possible.  For instance, this could be focus firing on high value units in the opposing army, or moving ranged units just out of range of melee units.
Unit Composition: the different types of attack units in an army.  An army is said to have good unit composition if the different types of units synergise well together, each one covering the shortcomings of the other.
Transition or Tech Switch: changing the unit composition of your army to adapt to your opponent's weaknesses.
Map control: Being in a position strategically where you are able to move your units and get view of a larger area of the map than your opponent.  Having Map control is advantageous because it allows you respond to enemy troop movements before they reach your vulnerabilities, and deny your opponent's expansions while having free access to them yourself.

texts: I bought the CD version of The Walking Dead and realized there is no CD key printed anywhere. I'd like to play it on Steam and earn achievements, so are the CD version and the Steam version different?

In KF1 there was a weight indicator on the bottom left that would tell you your carrying capacity and what your current capacity was at.

Now I don't see it anywhere on the HUD, and nowhere on the Trader screen.

How do I tell how much weight I'm carrying?


texts: Players who join my world can't open chests

texts:
So my friend joined my world on Terraria mobile edition and she went to open a chest that I had placed. It would not let her open it. It just took her to her inventory.
Then I made a new world and she then joined but she went to open a chest from the dungeon that she had unlocked and it wouldn't even let her open that. We had of course defeated skeleteon and I was able to open all chests in the dungeon and placed by me.

Could someone please tell me why she can't open chests in worlds made by me and if I can fix this?


texts: How much difference does the autoloader make on a tank?

texts:
I'm just wondering if it really make a difference in a tank to tank encounter.
Its usually which ever tank can get the first shot will prevail unless the other tank can drive, shoot and dodge some shots;
But would the autoloader make a difference in that? how many shot would it take before the autoloader has "given" you an extra shot compared to a tank that doesn't have the autoloader?


texts:
Is it 100% possible to complete every quest received from Statue of Inconsequentia?

I just played the game for few days so far and I am now in level 4, but already had around 2-3 quests that I found impossible to complete. My problem is mostly connected with quests that require finding specific items & using them on pillar of eyes (can't find item) or eliminating members of Dredmor's cohort (where are the mobs, how to tell if they are cohort mobs?). I tried to explore whole level carefully, killing every monster encountered, in vain. There is no location marked on the minimap (as it is in most cases when some boss must be brought down or specific item recovered).

Thanks in advance!


texts: How can I make a kit that has Unbreakable Items in it?

texts:
I'm trying to make kits with Unbreakable Items in it for my Kit PvP server.

To make the items Unbreakable, I use this command:

 /give (Name) minecraft:(item) 1 0 {Unbreakable:1}

For proof that the command worked, I hovered over the item and it clearly said Unbreakable at the bottom of the lore. For example:

Problem is, when I do /createkit, it transfers the item but not the Unbreakable effect.

When I hover over the item after I create the kit, it does not say Unbreakable at the bottom of the lore. Again, for example:
