texts: Do defensive weapon strap-ons only take effect depending on which weapon (melee/ranged) I'm holding?

texts:
For example, I have a melee weapon with the 'Iron Crossguard' defensive strap-on (deflect 15% more damage when you block):

And in combat, I attacked with my ranged weapon, so I'm now holding my ranged weapon. If I get attacked while holding the ranged weapon, will I still deflect 15% more damage when I block?


texts: In GTA 4, does driving a particular vehicle make it appear more often?

texts:
Usually online, when playing with my friends, we have spent a little over an hour searching every corner of the map looking for a particular car/motorcycle with absolutely no luck. Yet, after much insistence, we find that precise vehicle and soon after, we have no trouble finding another one right away.

I remember looking for a Sanchez for over forty minutes without even seeing them in the street. Then, when I found one and got on it, I remember seeing three within a minute.

This is consistent enough for my friends and I to rely upon it when searching for vehicles "We only have to find one, then, we'll all have our own". I don't know if this happens to everyone or if it is just a glitch or a coincidence. Maybe there is a bug in the coding or some strange pattern. Anyways, it has been bugging me for some time now and I wanted to know whatever mechanism is behind this phenomenon.


texts: Did Donkey Kong Country for the SNES use any kind of special hardware in the cartridge?

texts:
When that game was new, I couldn't believe my eyes. My eyes were the size of saucers. I thought it was literally a joke/scam/fake. I thought it was screenshots from the upcoming monster console "Ultra 64".

However, later, I realized that they had "simply" pre-generated normal, static sprites with powerful computers from 3D objects, which made them appear much more impressive than they really were.

Still, there are some lighting effects and stuff in the game which does impress me, which doesn't seem possible to fake like that. Also, SNES games in that era were beginning to use custom "FX" chips and possibly other custom hardware put into the cartridges themselves, to aid the already aging SNES.

My question is: Did Donkey Kong Country (the original game -- I don't care about the sequels whatsoever) use any kind of special hardware in the cartridges? Or was it literally just a standard ROM, clever coding/design and nothing else to it?

texts: After playing Junkenstein's Revenge a few times, I've started to notice a pattern in the order of events. Reaper spawns, then Roadhog, then Junkrat, then Reaper again, then Reaper again, then Mercy. Do these events happen at specific marks on the timer? Or do they happen a certain time after the previous boss was defeated? Additionally, are the tire spawns also scripted, or are they random?

I have two newly set up Minecraft 1.8.9 servers.  With both servers when I point my Pocket Edition clients to them I receive an "Unable to connect to world." message.

1) Debian 8
2) CentOS 7

openjdk version "1.8.0_65"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_65-b17)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.65-b01, mixed mode)

Both servers behaving the same way, I did a packet capture on each and can see UDP traffic reaches each them.  And both servers respond with ICMP Port Unreachable.  No surprise since the UDP port is not open I found.  Minecraft server is only opening the TCP port...

[root@minecraft Downloads]# netstat -anp |grep 25565

texts:
NOTE: I'm playing FTB Ultimate pack.

I'm thinking my quarry is horrible powered and highly inefficient.  Currently I'm using an Ender Tank pumping lava in from the Nether to power two Thermal Generators.  This is hooked up to a BatBox, keeping it maxed out all the time.  I then have an Electrical Engine with a Bronze, Tin, and Iron upgrade powering the Quarry.

After re-reading the wiki on the Quarry, it says it can take up to 100 MJ.  I  believe my Electrical engine (with it's upgrade) is using 27 EU/t and generating 8 MJ/t (is there an MJ reader?).  This equates to (30000 EU / Bucket * 8 MJ / 27 EU/t) 8888 MJ / Bucket of lava.

If I wanted to be more efficient on the Lava side of things, wouldn't it make sense to just use Magmatic Engine engines which are at 18000 MJ / Bucket?  And if so, I'd need 25 Magamatic Engines to generate the needed 100 MJ/T?

What about popular glitches or tricks in the game itself, do they still work the exact same as earlier, or have some of them been fixed (e.g. afk farming Midgard Zolom, one-time activation of Pandora's Box)
Any engine changes to allow higher resolution or AA for the graphics, or other cosmetic upgrades? (yes, I'm aware this is a re-release not a remaster)

So I was playing a modpack called Roguelike Adventures and Dungeons and when fighting a dragon, he somehow pushed me into blocks.

texts: Some US Xbox 360 games not working on my xbox360 - claiming region lock

texts:
I have two games: Skyrim and Fifa 13. They are both NTSC-U games but my NTSC-U xbox blocks me from playing the games due to region block.

The xbox was bought in Japan while on a trip there, but at the initial setup the region was set to US because that is where I get my games from.

Other US games (such as Mass Effect 2 and 3, Dead Space, Halo 4, Gears of War, etc) work without any issues. But for these two there seems to be a problem.

The Skyrim is the second copy of the game that I have bought, the previous copy had the same issue (region locked), and I assumed purchasing a new copy would resolve this problem but it's still here.

How do I resolve this issue?


texts: Chronosphere interaction with slows and stuns

Back in DotA 1, if Darkterror caught an unit affected by a slow/stun in Chronosphere, the slow/stun timer would pause, meaning the hero would be stunned/slowed for the remaining of its duration after chronosphere duration, due to the pause mechanic of Warcraft.

However, in playing more hands, the achievement still hasn't shown up.

While playing Fortnite, I have two audio devices that can output audio. My laptop, and my monitor. My laptop is plugged over HDMI to the monitor.

Problem is, I dont want to use the monitor for sound, only for display. The Game sounds (such as music, Sounds effects) output through my laptop. But voice chat, output through the monitor.

In settings, whenever I try to change "Voice chat output" to Laptop, and apply, when I re go in settings, it changed to "Default".(Which is the monitor)0

Why isnt it letting me output voice chat through the same output as the game sounds? I want to use my headphones connected to the laptop.

I cant use only the laptop sinse the screen is broken

EDIT: Looking at my monitor, there is no output for heaphones only input. (For mics) (Audio IN)


texts: Rapid Firecannon Interaction with Rengar's Passive

texts:
Rapid Firecannon Stats
  +30% attack speed
  +8% movement speed
  +30% critical strike chance UNIQUE – ENERGIZED STRIKE: Moving and attacking generates Energize stacks, up to 100. When fully Energized,
  your next basic attack gains FIRECANNON and deals 50 - 200 (based on
  level) bonus on-hit magic damage. UNIQUE – FIRECANNON: Your next basic
  attack gains 35% increased range, up to a maximum of +150 range.
  FIRECANNON can be used on structures.

As your next basic attack is granted extra range, does it also increase your leap range for Rengar's passive? If not then why is it a rather popular choice of item for a lot of Rengar builds?

If I do the same by setting "Dedicated" as "Internet" and start the server, the green box appears, as it should. Typing "status", shows the server to be running,  but I can't see it in the "Internet" list of the server (where all the servers of the world are displayed) - I still find it in the "local" list though.

While cruising the bottom of a deep ravine, I found places where my view distance gets reduced in a manner similar to the Void Fog. Thing is, the bottom of the ravine is flat where that occurs. I just walk, seeing the walls lit with dozens of torches on multiple levels, and then as I enter certain area, my view gets shorter, distant torches dim, then it all gets cut off, I see only like thirty blocks ahead, the rest swallowed by darkness. Then a little way further the vision gradually returns to normal. There are two such places in that ravine and I didn't find anything like that elsewhere.

This is fairly deep and I wouldn't be surprised to be affected by the Void Fog, but if I understand, the intensity of the Fog is directly proportional to your depth past certain threshold - and this seems as if I were entering some... hill of the fog? Also, there are no floating particles like in the deepest layers.

So, what can cause that local reduction of view distance?


texts:
A new merc, Turtle, got recently added to the game. He has a deployable shield that blocks enemy damage, but lets allies shoot through it.

Since the merc is new, it's being used in just about every match by at least one player. So I'm having to deal with his shield a lot.

How do I deal with the shield? Escpecially at long range when it's blocking something like the objective point or a chokepont?


texts:
I have just finished the main quest line, and now every few hours I will fast-travel somewhere and a dragon corpse will drop out of the sky in front of me. It's always dead, the corpse is always empty, and it never decays to a skeleton or performs the Absorb Soul animation. So far I have been rained on by an ancient dragon in Whiterun, two elder ones in Riften and Sky Haven Temple, and other dragons at random times.

What has not happened yet, since I finished the main quest, is a random encounter with a living dragon. I don't know if this is related, but it seems odd. I don't remember this happening on my previous play-throughs. I have Dawnguard and Hearthfire installed, but otherwise the mods I am running are the same as I have been running for months.

Has anyone else encountered this particular problem and/or know how to stop it?


texts: Can you choose which way you move when casting Mirror Image?

texts:
When casting Mirror Image, you slide in one direction while the other Mirror Images created go in other directions, to misdirect the enemy. Sometimes, the sliding puts me in an advantageous position, and other times it moves me exactly where I didn't want to be.

Is there any way to control which way I go when casting Mirror Image?


texts: Is there any certain canon about the Ogre Empire?

texts:
With the new raids and us having to kill the Imperator, and me not being able to find any further information about this Ogre Empire (not mention of such thing in any of the WoW archive novels) I would like to know when this creatures became an empire. It seems obvious they were in this new timeline an empire long before Garrosh arrived, but it was already falling? or started falling with the attacks of the Iron Horde?

When did it come to be an empire when in our timeline they're no more than tribes of brutish creatures. Or were they an empire in our timeline, but one that was extinct long before the draenei arrived in Oshu'gun?

texts: More than one criteria is met for an altered arte

texts:
Let's take the example Rita and her skill Splash.
It changes to aqua laser with the dispersion skill active and also changes to freeze lancer with gale and chain skills active.

Is there a way to consistently get freeze lancer if I have all 3 of these skills active or is it randomized which skill Splash changes to?

Aqua Laser       | Splash - Dispersion

Freeze Lancer    | Splash - Gale, Chain


texts: How much do I "wastefully spend" per support or rope?

texts:
The game obviously tells you at the end of each level,

  You wastefully spent: $x

For example, it cost me $10100 to complete level one.

How is this calculated? Testing appears that it matters based on distance in addition to how many supports/ropes you have, but how much?


texts: Where do my ex-wives go after we divorce?

texts:
I think my wives divorced me because I had them both living in the same area. I want to get one of them back, but I have no idea where they have gone. After the second one divorced me it says she had left the region. Are they both taken out of the game when you divorce them, or are they still around?

Anyone?


texts:
I play Minecraft on the Xbox. I'm a bit of a resource hoarder. I'm just wondering if I need to be.

I know that there are a lot of resources in the world, but I also know that the world is of a limited size (currently 864 x 864) - thus there is a limit to the amount of resources that one can collect.

Is there an a way to predict how many of the valuable, non-renewable resources (specifically iron, gold and diamond) there are in the world? Yes, I realize this would vary greatly depending on the numbers of each biome that generates with a world (a dominately ocean world would likely have fewer resources).

Note: Currently iron is not renewable

there are no iron golems
it is not a drop (even a rare one) by any mob
trading has not been implemented


texts: How do I get a free Minecraft cape without mods?

texts: I was wondering if there was a way to get a free Minecraft cape without mods or at least a mod that doesn't require forge. I don't mind if other people can or cannot see the cape, I just figured it would look cool. By the way, I don't mind if the cape is not custom either.


texts: Are there any maps of the cities and the planet surface for Mars Saga?

texts:
For the old Commodore 64 game Mars Saga, I've found maps of the caves but no maps of the surface or the cities. Anyone know if they exist somewhere?

Additionally, are there any other interesting things on the planet surface besides just the entrances to the cities and caves? I recall mainly just using the surface as a place to level up by fighting nasty creatures. Are there any other interesting things up there, like some Easter eggs perhaps?


texts:
I'm still kinda new to the game (still haven't even got my first 80), but I've played for the past couple months and noticed they have the new voice feature. But I've never heard anyone speaking.

I know people do use Ventrilo, and eventually TeamSpeak, but what about the in-game voice chat? How does it work? Does it work? Why people don't use it? I'd love being able to chat on Random Dungeons or even hear everyone screaming in Battle Grounds, like you can already do in Counter Strike for a long time already.

texts: Do overheard henchmen conversations point towards side quest goals?

texts: I keep hearing henchmen talk about things like "people nailed to walls" and "burning firehouses" and such. The banter isn't really "look at the thing" but does mention it. Do these only happen in areas directly around these items? So, if I follow these henchmen's voices will I be able to find a side quest item around there? If so, how close are they? And is it always in the right direction from where I am, or could it happen behind me when an item is actually in front of me?


texts: How to disable online in Dark Souls 1 while keeping Steam online?

texts:
I need to disable Dark Souls 1 online features. Usually people do it by putting the whole Steam offline, but I need Steam to be online.

As far as I know there is PvPWatchdog mod, which allows you to kick invaders by pressing F1. So it feels like what I want is possible (I need the same but fast and automatic, so player invasions doesn't interfere with my gameplay at all).

P.S. To be super exact:

What I need:

To be a human without risk of a player invasion.
To be able to receive steam-messages from friends, while I'm playing DS1.
Steam should keep tracking my play hours in DS1.

What I don't care about:

All other DS1 online features. Like co-op PvE or soap-stone messages. If they are disabled as well I don't care. If they stay while invasions are disabled i'm fine with it.
NPC invasions. They may stay or they may never happen - i don't care.


texts: How does Europa Universalis 4 handle the time speed in multiplayer?

texts:
I played only the demo of EU4, and I'm wondering how the real time aspect works in the full game, in a multiplayer game.

Is it a fixed speed, set on the beginning?
Or is it adapting to what players want on the fly (for example going at the lowest speed requested, like Imperium Galactica 2)?


texts: How soon can I begin restoring the Thieves' Guild?

texts: In Skyrim, during the thieves guild questline, do side jobs count towards the end restoration if you haven't yet finished the Thieves Guild questline? I understand that you can't restore the Thieves Guild until you finish the quest line, but will they count before then for the four cities that I have to do jobs in? I've restored the guild before but never actively done side jobs before the questline was finished.


texts: Contender's gears vs. Crafted Dreadful gears

texts:
My toon is going to hit level 90 very soon and I am looking for gearing guides. Multiple sources point me to this guide, where it is stated that if I go the crafting route, I should get the Contender's gears, which are iLvl 450 pieces. There are several other guides also mentioned the Contender's gears.

Then I searched on the AH. Instead of the Contender's, I saw a lot of Crafted Dreadful gears that are iLvl 458 items and has better stats. It seems these are better than Contender's in all aspects as long as I can afford them.

I am looking to confirm if the gearing guides did not mention Crafted Dreadful gears because the guides are outdated, or there are hidden gotchas and I should still get the Contender's pieces?


texts: How can I improve my chances of getting a 5 star score without using Auto-Battle?

texts:
I have had this problem with both Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2. I don't like using Auto-Battle because I like actually choosing my attacks rather than just picking a paradigm and pressing Auto-Battle (Auto-Battle just feels dirty to me). The problem is that star score ratings are based on how quickly you finish off your opponent. Shorter fights I can usually still get five star ratings, but longer fights I sometimes struggle to meet the target times.

What can I do to try and achieve five star ratings without stooping to Auto-Battle or just mashing my attacks in as fast as I can?


texts: Can I restrict what biomes appear in my world?

texts:
Ok, so for the last few worlds I have created, I did a bit of exploring, and so far the norm has been:

Plains
Forest
Birch Forest
Hills
(If I'm lucky) A Swamp

These seem to be the only biomes that want to spawn in my world. I can find others, if I go searching for them (flying about in creative).

Basically, I'm sick of this world generation. I want a bit more diversity in my worlds, so I was wondering what can I do to open up a bit more of a biome diversity in my world? Eg. restrict what biomes do/don't spawn?


texts:
I just started to use Wii Shop, but I'm shocked that there are only 12 Wii demos. What is the reason for this? I know that there are not many Wii games, but 12 demos looks like nothing when you compare it to how many demos are available for the Xbox 360 or PS3.

Maybe it's because of the country I live in? Do other countries have more demos? For example, Sony is known for not allowing you to view some music videos on YouTube based on your region.

texts: How can I query data from a source game server?

texts: After reviewing things like Game Tracker, xqf, and HLSW I've come to the bold conclusion that most source games are publicly queryable for basic information like map, player count, player list, etc. Is there some standard for this? I ultimately want to create my own script to poll this information I just can't find any documentation on how it's retrieved.


texts: Batman Arkham City crashes when interrogating riddler informants

texts:
Every time I want to interrogate a Riddler informant, the game crashes with some fatal error.

I interrogated 3 or 4 Riddler informants at the very beginning of the game. But then, I tried interrogating another one and the game crashed for the first time. After this "first crash" I can't interrogate anyone without getting a crash.

Did I do something wrong? it's a bug that I'm not aware of? Anybody knows how I can fix this?

PS: That is, by the way, the only situation in which the game crashes.

Cheers

I switch to little Anakin to crawl through the hatch, and when I exit the other hatch, I switch to Qui-Gon to smash the block. I can't seem to figure out how to switch back to Anakin. (I'm sure the solution is very simple, but I don't have the manual!)


texts: Is Falling Bash actually better than Jump Slash for mounting?

texts:
Mounting a monster has undergone a major revamp in MONSTER HUNTER RISE, and so has the Sword and Shield's moveset. In it, Falling Bash is now treated as an aerial move and can be used to mount a monster.
So, does it mean now the jumping slash is obsolete? Damage of Jump Slash is pathetic compared to Falling Bash. Does it mean the Falling Bash is actually better in all aspects, especially mounting since it is significantly stronger than the jumping slash?


texts:
I would like to embark on a massive Minecraft build that includes NPC villagers. Now I would like to know how large of a "village" I can make. I was reading that they have to be within 16 blocks horizontally from a door to register. Also, I read that to transplant villagers to another village they have to be moved at least 32 blocks away from their original village.

Does this all mean that I can only make a village that is up to 64 blocks across?

Also, since wells are considered to be the center of a village, can I create wells every 64 blocks to create another village adjacent to one?

I haven't modded anything, and it's  on the highest settings (it only has fullscreen, windowed, and shading options anyway). I'm using a i5 4670k, 16gb 1600 DDR3 RAM, and a Radeon HD 7970 GHz edition graphics card so system requirements are completely out of the question. I also have the latest drivers (last time I checked about was about a week ago). What should I do to fix it?

When I click on Ok, it says something about generating world, but then goes back to the previous screen where I first tried to join at.

There is plenty of space!  Why can't I connect?


texts: What armor and weapons do Crusaders use?

texts:
Every class in Diablo 3 has its own specialized weapons and armor. Some of those are really unique, like the quiver or voodoo doll, while others look almost the same as every other piece of armor, such as the Barbarian belt or the Demonhunter cape. The one thing in common is that each of these weapons or armor pieces can only be used by the respective class.

Now I've seen 'flails' in the Live version of the game that say they can only be used by Crusaders, but are there any other items? Also, which items found in the current game were Crusader-only in the beta?

Is it purely to steer your virtual experience, without any impact on future events? And as part of the same question, for those few times where it does matter - will it be very clearly outlined for me that "This option will impact you somehow"?

texts: Does standing still on the sand still summon more ant-lions?

texts:
In the chapter "sand traps", touching any of the sand along a large portion of the coast causes an ant-lion or two to spawn, and if you try to run across a long stretch of sand you can easily spawn too many ant-lions to fight off. I was wondering though, if I jumped onto the sand and stood in place, only turning in place to target ant-lions that spawn behind me, would :

More ant-lions constantly spawn (i.e., ant-lions are spawned by
spending time on sand), so I would be better served just sprinting
across a long stretch and then finding a defensible  place to
eliminate the swarm?
Or, do ant-lions spawn when you move while touching sand, which would mean that standing still, shooting, and then moving on would be an effective way to keep the ant-lions from swelling into a swarm?


texts: What would happen if I were to channel a large pond of water into a lake of lava?


texts:
I have Minecraft running on a Mac OS X Yosemite. When I click on it, a message shows me that it's "downloading runtime". I opened it a few times and it shows me the message again and again. Then I searched the web for answers that will help me get rid of it and then a sign popped-up in my browser saying that Minecraft can't open because Java isn't installed. But I heard that Java is not needed to open up Minecraft, right?

Although after an hour with my mom and I trying to sort out the problem I found out that Minecraft can be opened up by clicking the launcher.jar in ~/Library/Application Support/Minecraft.

I was searching high and low for an answer for the problem I have specifically, so I decided to ask my question on how get rid of this "download runtime" thing when I run Minecraft directly.


texts: Does being upwind/downwind affect my ability to sneak up on horses?

texts:
While playing Breath of the Wild, I was trying to sneak up on a horse and noticed a few particles blowing the wind past me and towards the horse (I was upwind of the horse). I thought that the horses might be able to smell me because of that and shifted to the opposite direction, so that the wind would pass the horse before me (I was downwind of the horse).

I'm wondering though, is this something that the game actually takes into account? Does being upwind/downwind of a horse affect my ability to sneak up on them?

We have:

Tried hard reset of PS4
Reset the controller using small button at the back
Held down the Share and PS button to get flashing but then nothing
Unplugged the PS4 and tried again
Used different USB cables, including official PS4 Connect and Play ones
Put the PS4 into Safe Mode but it asked to connect controller

When I connected to my PC to diagnose any problems, there were none, and when connected to play the console went blue so I am confused - what could be wrong?

Whenever Xbox 360 is started or swithing accounts the console displays a message which the user must dismiss by selecting "no" if no internet connection is available. My 360 is nearly completely offline, I connect only a couple of times a year  to download updates for disc-based gamed. Router Wi-fi doesn't carry to the TV room (and I'm not rewiring my house), even though my phone is always able to connect.

The error message was either added in the most recent Dashboard update or is exclusive to the new "Slim" model.
I've even considered downgrading the OS, but that may require modding the console and likely gets its serial number and accounts banned from Xbox Live.

texts: Skyrim quests/items/place names in other languages

texts:
I pre-loaded Skyrim through Steam before release date and it has installed by default using my native language (Italian). The translation has a good quality so I decided to keep it and not switch to English.

Are there any files inside Skyrim installation that I can use to understand how English terms have been localized to my language?

I checked the folder structure and found a folder called

It contains various *.strings, *.DLStrings and *.ILStrings files with promising sizes, but they are encoded in some way and unusable in this state.

texts: Are Gamecube discs the same size as standard mini-dvds?

texts:
Recently, the number of game cases on my shelf has gotten to the point that it's becoming inconvenient to go through them to find games, so I've recently been moving away from using the original cases, going for the cases that can hold a ton of games.

For most consoles, this isn't a problem, as they fit the standard cd cases you find everywhere, which can usually hold up to about 120 discs.

However, the smaller size of GameCube discs make them more of a pain. While they (obviously) fit in the sleeves designed for full size discs, they don't stay in place very well and are likely to fall out, so I was trying to find something for them.

I found some marketed specifically toward GameCube games, but I also found some that are for MiniCD and MiniDVD. Are they the same size (or near enough to the same size that their sleeves would fit)?

If anyone has any experience in this, I'd appreciate it.

I was playing by myself on playground, first time I played I was fairly excited even though I was on my own. However after the first round, I noticed that The No Fill changed to Fill.

Problem is, I cant change the Fill or No Fill and The server alternates bewteen Fill or No Fill on certain periods of time. Is this a crazy bug, or is that normal?

In Game Dev Tycoon, when you go to add features into your game, it will give you the little percentage next to the sliders which means you've added too many to do them all efficiently, but does this effect anything in any way? Are your review scores hurt by this? Are your sales of this game hurt by this? Does this matter at all, or should I just throw every single feature in to make an amazing game?

Thanks!

texts:
I interacted with a Monolith and accidentally chose the wrong option (not the option that helps you locate a Portal).

Now I can't interact with it, and my navigation beacon isn't locating any more Monoliths.

Is there another Monolith in this system I can locate and use to find the local Portal?

I am especially curious because I see that the NMS Wiki post for Portals starts with this description:

  Portals are structures in No Man's Sky that can be found on all celestial bodies of a star system, like Planets or their Moons. There is always one portal on each.

I have found a lot of information on the internet to be out of date when it comes to post-NEXT features, so I guess as a sub-question:

Is there still 1 Portal per celestial body?

It would make sense to me that if there was a Portal on each celestial body there would be at least 1 Monolith for each, right? But I am in a 2-body system, with only one Monolith being revealed.

texts: Can a Puppet Master see and/or control items on Puppets?

texts:
Basically, how do items and puppets interact with each other:

Does the Puppet Master receive items given to puppets?
Can the Puppet Master use items held by puppets during the night?
If a Puppet is holding an item and that item is stolen during the night, will the Puppet Master receive a notification telling them that they were robbed?

And maybe more, if you can think of any other interactions when writing an answer to this question.

Bonus question:

What happens if a Puppet is holding the Heart of Fenrir when the last wolf dies?

After finishing That Special Someone by killing Darko, I didn't receive a call by Pegorino, as the wiki says I should. But this means that I can't continue to the following story missions.

Am I missing something or is this a bug? Is there some way of fixing this apart from loading an old save?


texts: Easy way to edit object thumbnails in cities skylines?

texts:
Does anyone know an easy way to change workshop objects' default thumbnail icons in cities skylines?

I love the game but I am fed up searching the right object in a panel containing a dozend or more of the ugly white-bricked default icons because the modders forgot to create one for their objects.
I figured out that I can load an object into the asset editor and add an icon/thumbnail and then save the object as a new (personal/private?) object and delete the original afterwards - but I don't think that is a good approach (I will have to Provide Updates myself...?)

I wonder if there is a better and easy way to get at least a minimum of comfort back by change / add a thumbnail for the objects that are missing one?


texts: Blocking a plugins command from displaying in chat and console when run from command block

texts:
I am trying to create a timer for a mini game I am working on by using a plugin called Multiple Scoreboards. The plugin basically lets you display different scoreboards to different players, so I am having it display a timer scoreboard to only the players in the minigame.

The way that I am running the timer is by subtracting 1 point every second from a player called Time_Left that is displayed on the sidebar. However, the command block that is subtracting a point every second is displaying the command it's running in both the chat of the oped players and the console.

Is there a way I can block this command from being shown to the console and oped players when it is run by a command block?

Thanks,
Jonny

texts:
The Embermage class, unlike the other three available classes in Torchlight 2, seems to lack any decent defensive spells:

Death's Bounty is arguably the most useful defensive spell, allowing you to recoup health and mana from enemies under this spell's effect
Immolation Aura can absorb 5%, 10%, or 15% damage based on the tier
Elemental Boon boosts elemental resistances
Prismatic Rift will randomly teleport enemies away when they hit

Other than these, I don't see any other spells that help my character stay alive. So my question is simple: what's the best way to keep an Embermage alive? Is having the best offense the only option for this class? I've found that Embermages can have a tough time in acts 3 and 4, especially in large mob situations (one-shot kills seem to be a staple of this class, at least in my experience). What are some tips to keep my Embermage alive and well?

texts: How to counter Protoss' fast expand as zerg?

texts:
So this is the situation:

I scout around 9, I find his base quite far from mine. The protoss also immediatly puts a wall in front of his natural (+cannons), making it impossible to end the game quickly. I assume he's fast expanding and I'm right. What should I do? Build a fast third?

Later in early midgame, he killed my 2 expos (I took a fast third in this game) at the same time with DT's, didn't see that coming at all (I lack scouting skills from time to time). He then went mass zealot + Archons (6+) (thank you, patch 1.3.3 >.<)
I tried countering with mass roaches and some hydra's, but he was way ahead of me by this time, and kept denying my expos with simple a-move archons.

How do I prevent this from happening? Of course, I should have seen the DTs coming, but is there a way to punish the protoss player for fast expanding?

texts: How did I lose a pistol? Pickpocket or saved game bug?

texts:
I'm playing Fallout 2 for the first time, and got my first firearms - a pair of 10mm pistols, with different amounts of bullets in them. I equipped one, topped up its bullets, and left the other in my pack, and removed its bullets. I walked around The Den for a while, and may have swapped an item or two in my hands, and saved my game, and stopped playing.

Later I restored my game, and noticed I didn't have a pistol equipped. I also still only have one in my pack, with no bullets in it. Somehow I lost the loaded pistol.

How could that have happened? Are there some pickpocket characters who can sometimes steal something from you? Or is there a bug with saved games that can remove something from your hand? I suppose it's possible I managed to leave it somewhere by UI accident, but I tried looking in the shelves, corpse, and shopkeepers I remembered visiting recently, but didn't find it.

texts:
In any game that uses 2-dimensional rendering, (not necessarily a 2d-based game), I find that there is a consistent stutter happening approximately twice a second ONLY affecting the 2d part. Sometimes the stutter slows down the animation for a frame, and sometimes it jumps ahead a frame. Because of the forward-jumping, I suspect it is not a problem with my GPU being overloaded, but might have something to do with over/underclocking. I have tried resetting my graphics card,  but nothing changed.

texts: Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix for the colour blind

texts:
Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo CD Remix is an enjoyable game, however, for those afflicted with certain types of colour blindness like myself it can prove extremely difficult to play. The green and yellow gems look identical to me, and I can't seem to find an way to change their colour or design to make telling them apart easier, or possible for that matter.

Up to now I've had my friends tell me which blocks are coming down, and then I need to do my best to memorize the locations of the blocks once I've dropped them. In the heat of puzzley battle though, this isn't ideal.

Is there any other way for me to tell the green and yellow blocks apart, or better yet is their some way for me to either change the block colour or add unique designs for each colour?

Does Pokemon X/Y have a National Pokedex? What's the highest National Pokedex number of a Pokemon in X/Y?
Does Pokemon X/Y have any legendary Pokemon like Mew, which aren't normally encountered and haven't been officially announced yet but might still appear at the end of the Pokedex? (This may be harder to answer than previous generations, since 3DS ROMs are harder to hack and therefore mine for raw Pokedex information.)

texts: What factors determine whether militia will assist in a battle?

texts:
In Endless Legend, the militia units can provide some additional military power when countering a monster attack or invasion from another faction.

However it's difficult to determine how far and when they will help in a battle.  I've seen militias from 2 cities participate in an attack, while in another game I've been unable to get the militias to provide assistance in a relatively close battle.
It seems like tech, buildings, population, or movement may have an impact on the militias assistance range, but its not precisely clear what or how militia assistance is determined.

I found this quote on an wiki article about battles:

  The Militia is a group of units generated by a City. They can only be
  used when a battle takes place and overlaps the city they are in. They
  can be improved by various research technologies.

But I have seen multiple battles with the city in the center of the battle where the militia does not help.(is this a bug?)

How far and in what situations will militia participate in a battle?

texts:
I'm playing the Dark Arisen version for PS3.
So, I figured out the idols are important to get discounts and nice stuff on the shops, once you give them to the shop-owner as a gift.

I know I can get one if I complete successfully that mission in which you must be a play doll for that annoying kid Symone.
Problem is that I failed that mission, because I grabbed the kid when she fell. I thought I should pick her up and help her. But NO. I was arrested, mission failed, and the game saved immediatelly. In this game you can only have one save, which sucks. I tried to to that Checkpoint where you reset to the last Inn in which you've slept. I used it, but I would lose several hours of gameplay. Out of question.

So, is there another way of getting the gold idol? Or even repeating the mission?

texts: What is the real duration of the Viking's transformation?

texts:
According to the in-game tooltip, the official site, and practically every other source the duration of the Viking's transform ability is 3 seconds (either from ground to air or air to ground). However, when transforming a large group of vikings it seems that they don't all finish the transformation at precisely the same instant.

I've read that this divergence is simply created by them moving a little before starting the transformation, for spacing, but upon testing it behaves the same even if I space them in advance. Besides, it happens in the ground to air transformation as well, which doesn't really have any positioning issues.

Is it just a cosmetic effect and the ability does have a constant duration, or does it actually have a random element, just like burrowing has a random element in the duration?

texts: Will a Charged TM still give a legacy Mewtwo shadow ball?

texts:
I have a rather complicated question that could easily be misinterpreted so please read this carefully.

I have a Mewtwo that I got during an EX raid in early 2018.  Back then Shadow Ball was a possible charge move for Mewtwo.  Sadly the Mewtwo I got did not have Shadow Ball as it's charge move.  I only had a few Charged TMs at the time so I tried to get Shadow Ball but failed.  I stopped playing for a while and just this month, when I started playing again, I read that Shadow Ball was removed from Mewtwo sometime in mid to late 2018.  My question is....

Since my Mewtwo was captured back when Shadow Ball was a valid charge move, does it still have the potential to have Shadow Ball if I use a Charge TM on it?  Or when Niantic removed Shadow Ball as a charge move do they block it on all Mewtwo, including a legacy Mewtwo?


texts: How come some (but not all) of my items that I placed in a barrel gone?

texts:
I forgot about some of the things I stored in a container and now they are gone.

The reason I am still asking is because I have tracked the specific item (Krosis) I am looking for in my saves. I lost track of it within a 45 minute save interval: In one save it is in the barrel in the next save 45 minutes (about 3-5 game days) later it is not in the barrel.

So here's the catch: There were a lot of other items (like 50) in the barrel and most of them were gone except for:

4 potatoes,
Gallus's journal,
The Right Eye of the Falmer,
The Essence Extractor,
Ancintars Lab Journal.

Some people say that NPCs can take things from barrels, but thats a lot of stuff to take. Some people say barrels reset, but why were these specific items left in the barrel?

Does anyone have any alternative explanations besides "you misplaced them"? (I want to make sure thats the only possibility before i continue searching every container in Skyrim).

texts: Thieves Guild quest line incompletable: Karliah never shows up at Ragged Flagon

texts:
I broke into Riftweald Manor earlier and stole Mercer's plans, before I did much with the thieves guild. Now when I try to start that quest, which starts out with Karliah appearing at the Ragged Flagon, she doesn't appear. I've tried laying Mercer's plans back on the table, getting rid of them entirely, etc.

The thieves guild questline was the first thing I wanted to do with this character, but it's also the character that I wanted to complete everything with. This is the one questline that I cannot do. I really need a way to fix this. I am completely okay with using console commands.

I've tried using resetinterior RiftenMercerFreyHouse and resetinterior 00037CC6, both while in- and outside of the house. Neither worked.


texts: How can I get the TF2 logs to show Steam IDs?

texts:
Previously my TF2 log showed Steam IDs when players connected or when I issued the "users" command.

Now it's only showing usernames without the Steam ID. Is this a change in the log format or is there a configuration setting to show Steam IDs?


texts: How to stop my child from creating new accounts on Xbox One?

texts:
Okay, I set-up parental control for my child's Xbox One that I bought him and set it to teen settings. It works fine but there is a flaw, my child can just make another account and by-pass this and make a new unrestricted account.

I have caught him several times making new accounts and I had to delete them (you know how teens are).

Is there anyway to stop them from doing it or a way to NOT allow new accounts? I hope there is as I don't want my son downloading things or watching things he shouldn't. If there isn't an option for this than I will have to return it!


texts: Is there a way of skipping the recomended missions on mobile strike?

texts:
On Mobile Strike, there are 4 times of missions: Alliance, Daily, VIP and recommended. The recommended mission appears at the bottom of the screen

Is there a way of changing this, because I do not want to complete this mission. I am able to complete other missions that come up on the recommended mission list, however, I only appear to get VIP points when I complete the one that is listed. I do not have space for 10 banks so is there a way of passing this mission?

Google appears useless in this situation.


texts: How can I keep playing online-only Flash games after the Flash shutdown in 2020?

texts:
My stepfather currently plays FarmVille 2 on Facebook, which uses Flash (also, he uses a Windows 10 machine, if it makes any difference). As we all know, web browsers will stop offering Flash after the end of 2020.
I thought to myself, fine, I'll just keep an outdated browser lying around for the specific purpose of playing Flash games. What I didn't know, however, is that apparently Adobe will flip a killswitch and disable Flash entirely, regardless of your browser version.
Well, what do I do now? Is it possible to disable the killswitch? Would a local Flash player/emulator (ruffle.rs, BlueMaxima's Flashpoint) work (do note FarmVille 2 is an online game, with player interaction, so it can't be purely local)? Anything else?


texts: The text says that it will attract "loot" from further away.  Does Loot include ammo crates and health, or is it just money?  I'm trying to decide if I should get this or save up for Chance of Lighting lvl 2.  Thanks.


texts:
You don't have to take a mission immediately. There's a brief window of game time where you might be able to wait for a vital research to complete or for an important soldier to finish a medical procedure without losing the opportunity to go on the mission (and without suffering the consequences of ignoring it).

Unfortunately, I haven't found a table of the mission availability times anywhere, and I never bothered to time it.

I have my first MEC trooper about to finish augmentation in 4 hours, and an abduction mission right now. This is month 2, Enemy Within, Classic Ironman. Can I wait 4 hours for that crucial rocket-punching, fire-drawing, closest-enemy-aim-debuffing MEC, or do I have to take the risk with what I have?

More generally, how long do I get to wait for any mission?
Does it depend on difficulty or mission type?
Is there a randomized
component, or is it deterministic?
