texts: Does saving after completing the Suicide Mission count?

texts:
I am thinking of getting the DLC for Mass Effect 2 and completing it but i rather not have to start a new game and go though the entire thing just for a couple of extra missions.

i am wondering, after clearing the suicide mission and choosing to continue to play, can i do extra missions (and thus newly added DLC Missions) and just save where ever and have Mass Effect 3 pick up the changes or do i have to complete the Suicide Mission again.

texts: Ways to prevent dying when a tree explodes/how to prevent a tree from exploding

texts: In Mother 2 (Earthbound), when a tree blows up my guts save me and I'm left with 1 hp. In the earlier part of Mother 3, there are many trees that I have to fight. They all seem to blow up when killed, too, and I save myself by getting to the "You Win" part. What are some ways to survive the blowing up of trees other than this? Are there ways to prevent trees from blowing up?


texts: Is XCOM2 a storyline sequel to XCOM Enemy Unknown / Enemy Within?

texts:
XCOM2 just came out. This time aparantly the game is set 20 years in the future, and rather than playing an organization defending Earth, we'll play as an organization trying to reconquer Earth.

XCOM EU/EW Spoilers ahead:

   In the end of the previous XCOM, the organization has to chose a psionic character and have him in the party that beats the final assault of the mothership. The thing is, it was all a ruse, merely for Ethereals to test humans to assess 'our' strenght. In the end, the mothership flies up, commanded by the psionic soldier and the end of the game comes with a cliffhanger where the ship explodes and several pieces of the aircraft fall on Earth.

Without spoiling the story of this new game, is XCOM2 a sequel to XCOM EU/EW? If not, is it a sequel to any other XCOM game?

texts: PS2 emulator showing only the upper half of the game

texts:
I just installed on a brand new PC the ps2 emulator (pcsx2 1.4.0) and I'm having the following error. Whenever I launch a game it only shows the upper half of the game screen

I haven't changed any of the original settings the emulator has by default. And i'm using the BIOS: USA v01.60 (SCPH-39001_BIOS_V7_USA_160).
What could be the problem and how can I fix it?

The first image is what I get when I run the game, Even if I go full screen, the game is still only half visible. The second image is a screenshot of how the menu should look like (without the quit to windows option obviously).

texts: How do servers allow right-click events?

texts:
I am working on a minigame on my Spigot server and can't seem to find out how to make right-click events like servers do. For example, I want to be able to receive speed effects after right-clicking sugar, but I currently have repeating command blocks that detect if a player meets "SelectedItem"requirements.

Some use teleporting armor stands to trigger when they right-click them, but that seems like a hassle.
Others use carrots on a stick and retexture it to detect its use, but I don't want custom resource packs on my server.

Do servers use these methods to detect right-clicks? There must be another way.

texts:
I got a new set of Madcatz cymbals for my Rock Band 2 kit to replace the ones I'd had for around 9 months that were starting to get pretty beat up. When I set them up I was crushed to discover that 2 out of the 3 cymbals were a LOT noisier than any of the three I had before (even in their beat-to-hell state).

I tightened all the screws, I fiddled with the supports, I ranted and raged, I considered sending them back.

What causes the annoying buzz when you strike one of these things and how can you fix it, preferably without voiding the warranty?

Stay tuned: I have an answer I wrote up two years ago when I actually had and fixed this problem, but I only posted it on a now-deserted private forum. With the advent of gaming.stackexchange this seems like the perfect place to post my solution for posterity...

texts: Details on the Grilled Cheese Aspiration (Sims 2)?

texts:
I searched the web, and I didn't find enough info on the aspiration benefits to my liking. For reference, the benefits, in order are Bottomless Stomach, Slower Bladder Decay, Paint Grilled Cheese, and Conjure Grilled Cheese (Primary aspiration only - not available as secondary aspiration benefit).

I know what Slower Bladder decay does - An additive 12% slower bladder decay. But I'm not sure about the details of the other three effects.

Bottomless Stomach - Fitness points are lost 50% slower when over eating.

Q1) I've heard there's a bug where fitness point a gained, not lost (still at 50%) with this. Is this true - you'll lose weight by overeating?

Paint Grilled Cheese - adds option sims to specifically paint grilled cheese sandwiches.

Q2) Are these paintings automatically considered masterpieces?

Q3) What prices can you get for them (is it helpful for the fortune aspiration)?

Conjure Grilled Cheese - adds option on the sim to conjure a grilled cheese from their comfort and energy motives to fill hunger. Sandwich is consumed immediately and cannot be shared.

Q4) Can this be done repeatedly, or is there a cool down?

Q5) Will sims automatically do this to prevent themselves dying by starvation?

Since that didn't help me much, I decided to come to stackexchange.

texts:
I recently bought a Macbook Pro and would like to use it for occasional gaming on the go. The problem I have is that when games are in full screen, I'm not sure how to switch to anything else. Mostly what I will end up playing is Starcraft 2, which I could run in a window, however if you use the top edge the Mac Toolbar comes up and gets in the way.

Essentially what I'm asking is, is there a way to run games full screen but be able to switch to other apps without closing the game. I can run Windows 7 on it for games, but it would be nice not to have to switch to a different OS.


texts: What exactly is affected by a higher view-distance on the server side?

texts:
TL;DR: What are the elements that are different from a server with view-distance 32 compared to a server with 12 (or something else), except for the fact that you can see further?

Explanation:
So I bought a new server and set up a max view-distance. It is amazing and a much better experience, but I wonder how this affects the world.

What I know until now (always talking from the server side):
- If your view-distance is set to 4 and you stand 5 chunks away from your corn, it will not grow (because the server doesn't render that chunk).
- Mobs will despawn 128 blocks away from the player.
- The bigger your view-distance, the more traffic you server creates.

If your view-distance is set to 32, will corn grow if a player stays 31 chunks away from his corn-field? Will the server just send more static junks which he hasn't to "manage" until some player gets near it? If you can only partly answer, that's totally fine too. But please don't answer based on assumptions.

Challenge points: 10

texts: What is title of this retro game with catchy fast techno-dance theme song?

texts:
My friend showed me a game installed on his PC back in 2006 and we captured the below eurodance-like song from it. Our paths diverged and I haven't spoken to him in years but I recently found the track again on my HDD.

The game was originally on a CD attached to a game magazine. I'm fairly certain it's the intro/theme music from that game, and that the game was for PC. I'd like to find out the game title.

I tried to google what games were attached there, but can't find the lists from all of them, we captured this song by Audacity, and this is all I have.

It seems to me (but do not remember a lot) it rather was a 2D game, and probably platform (maybe action takes place in space?). I am sure it was PC and no younger than 2006. It may be Japanese but I am not sure.

texts: Is there a better reward to be gained by completing the new Imperial Assignments?

texts:
The "handsome rewards" aren't.

None of my Assignments give rewards that are higher than the cost of the items to build.  For example, one of them wants 16 Internal Forcefields (1875 each) AND 14 Improved Alloy (1000 each).  That means that it'd cost me 44,000 to build all of them.  Unfortunately, the reward is only 29,316.  This means it'd cost me about 14K to do the Assignment.

I don't see the point.

Is there some reason to spend more credits than the reward?  Is there some way to reduce the upfront cost, or do these assignments stack up to something more significant making it worth the expenditure?


texts: Unable to start Dark Souls 3 after DLC apparently eliminated itself

texts:
So I'd been playing DkS3 for an embarrassing number of hours, working through NG+ and decided to grab the new Ashes of Ariandel once I made it to the cathedral.

I was able to play around on the new snowy map for while before realizing everything (not excluding the trees) is more than capable of devouring me. So I went back to finish my NG+ playthrough.

Well at some point (I believe my PS+ account may have expired (and I don't have it automatically re-subscribe)). Before re-subscribing, I try launching my DkS3 account and get the following image:

Notice how the "Ashes of Ariandel" indicator is now missing from the version information at the top left of the title screen? So I re-activated my PS+ account, re-load DkS3, but still no dice.

In short -- I have an active PS+ account, I have the DLC and season pass purchased and installed, yet I can't seem to get beyond this error. What gives?

texts: Do lure modules and incense cause new pokemon to spawn near you, or existing pokemon to be drawn to you?

texts:
When a Lure Module is used on a PokéStop, do existing pokémon in the area get drawn to the PokéStop? Or rather do new pokémon spawn within the PokéStop area of effect? Or both?

When I head to a PokéStop with a lure module, it seems Pokémon appear from nowhere, and the Pokémon listed Nearby don't get any closer. So I am guessing it only causes random spawns.

Has anyone found the lure module to actually draw existing Pokémon to your location, or only spawn new pokémon? And does an individual's incense act the same way?

For an individual's incense, this could be an important question. If I see a rare pokémon 3 'steps' away, I would want incense to actually help draw that pokémon closer to me as I search for it. Whereas if the incense only spawns new pokémon, I'd rather use incense at other times.

texts: How do I make sure a GPU will support most games?

texts:
I put together a computer last year for, among other things, playing The Force Unleashed. (OK, that and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis).  Anyway, IJATFOA worked just fine, but TFU always froze on me. I eventually got in touch with Steam, then Lucasfilm, then the actual developers, and figured out that I was using an unsupported GPU. I downloaded Portal to try that as well, and it turned out THAT froze too.

So, I think I'm just going to ditch the Nvidia I have now and replace it. But I want to make sure that the board I end up buying will work with as many games as possible.  How can I pick cards that will be compatible?

Edit: Mobo is ASUS Sabertooth X58; GPU is nVidia 470. I don't need specific buying recommendations; it seems like I don't understand how GPUs should be chosen. Like, do I need to check every game I buy to make sure that my card is SPECIFICALLY supported before buying it? Is it normal to have two or three boards, one compatible with some games that the other doesn't support and vice versa, and have to switch them out when I want to play the games that need them? Or is my problem maybe not my board at all; the devs I talked to were wrong, and I should look somewhere else for the reason I can't play my games?


texts: When i play video games on full screen i get a bit of a problem

texts:
so to cut to the chase I'll make this about my problem and an image of it.
note that this happens with other games*
when I set my pc games to full screen what i see is a bit pixelated and not 100% clearly what the game is supposed to look like.
and when I print screen the game in full screen and paste it in paint I see that game when it's not pixelated.
i'll include an image to explain a bit of my problem.

I tried to upload an image for the print screen itself but it's over 2 mb.
I can avoid these by lowering the resolution of the game and playing it on windowed,but I want to see if I can fix it.

texts:
I created two item sorters to demonstrate this problem. One has hoppers directly underneath the water stream, like so:

Key: I = Ice, H(arrow) = Hopper facing in arrow's direction, H = Down Hopper, W = running water stream
Bottom layer:

I I I H↓ H↓ I I

Top layer:
W W W W W W W

The hoppers are connected to an item sorter that has a comparator on the arrow's head's side. This sorter works.
The second design is the same, except the bottom layer is like this:

I I I I I I I
      H↓H↓

A chest is at a corner, causing items to be put on the ice and a hopper edge. The items DO get picked up by the hopper, but they do not get sorted. The dummy items also get sucked away as well. What is going on, and how do I fix this?

texts: What does tempo mean in League of Legends?

texts: I’ve heard casters use the term several times in professional games, but I’m not sure precisely what it means.


texts:
I have the same problem I had in Legend of Grimrock:

I don't know which weapon skills should I level? It is obvious that I can't level all of them and there is no clear explanation about them.

It seems so far that maces is a must since there are a lot of armored
opponents and maces are the fastest armor-piercing wepons.
Axes are not worth it because they are slow and you still need to be
in melee range.
Swords are fast, but using them means melee combat.
Polearms are quasi ranged so by using them you can avoid a lot of
damage.
Bows need ammo and they are situational.
I don't have any experience with wands yet.

I think that maces and polearms are the most effective. Am I right?

texts: The Walking Dead Season 3 Decisions Import

texts:
So I have pretty limited space on my PC, as in storage. So I frequently delete games after I complete them or just become bored. I finished TWD seasons 1 and 2 but held off on deleting them as I care for the story and remembered that TWD Season 3 will import my decisions. Like i said though, I need the space for other games, so is there a way to delete the games (season 1 and 2) but retain the decisions so when Season 3 asks to import them I'll be able to?

(I have legit copies bought off steam so no torrent, if that matters)


texts:
Note: Everything in this question is about playing against the computer.

I've been playing Madden regularly for more than a decade. In every previous edition, blocked kicks were so rare as to be essentially impossible. I don't think I had ever had a PAT attempt blocked in all that time.

Now, my kicks get blocked quite regularly. Most of the time the computer just calls the Safe Man play when defending my kicks, which you can identify based on the way the edge rushers just play contain, rather than actually rushing the kicker. But, almost every single time they actually even attempt to block it, they succeed.

In real life, a good way to avoid having a kick blocked is to kick it at a high angle. In this game, I will put the kick at the highest possible angle, and still get it blocked every time.

Is there some way to avoid this?

So I've played prison architect for a long time but had a long break between a few alphas ago and the current version.  I just got back into it and made a really successful prison.

After playing for a while, I decided to mess around and see what the game was capable of.  Doing this I decided to create a prison purely of forestry rooms.  Each forestry is 64x32 and produces an insane amount of lumber.  In the screenshot you can see I have 5 of these setup.

Some would think the workers and gardeners to maintain it would be the limiting issue, but the issue I'm having is the delivery trucks.  The forestries produce so much wood, that my export zones are completely filling up.  And the rate of the trucks isn't increasing.

It seems the truck comes at a fixed rate.  Is there a way to change this rate to make them arrive more often?  Or is there any method of doing this at all?

I'm willing to change my prison config file to fix this if that is an option

Excuse the fact that I took the screenshot at night.

 Pink   - Forestries
 Orange - Exports
 Red    - Truck

texts: How to angle the Churchill VII to minimize the chance of being damaged?

texts:
I've calculated that using the Churchill VII if I angle my tank roughly 32 degrees relative to my target my effective armor will be something around 179mm which is very good in a Tier VI match. What I've noticed however is that there is a weak spot in the inner side of both tracks next to the UFP where even a lower tier tank can score a hit relatively easily.

My question is: how should I angle my tank? In order to protect the hole next to the tracks (is this a bug or intentional?) I have to be angled 0 degrees (no angling) so a tank in front of me can't hit it but in that case I'm not angling at all!

What is the best tactics in case of an 1v1 with another tank when driving the Churchill VII?

texts: Can inheritance pass on to mother's dynasty?

texts:
I'm considering theoretical possibility of using the following scenario to obtain more land for my heir by successfully marrying my other children and then engineering the succession (murdering everyone).

I'm John of Jones dynasty. I have two children - Gary, who is my firstborn son and Lisa, his younger sister. I'm using Agnatic-cognatic Primogeniture. Gary is a genius, so I definitely want him to be my heir.

My neighbour is Ted of Smith dynasty. He also has three children - Alan, Bob and Chris and uses A-C Primogeniture too. He is a duke, so he does not have any Crown Authority.

Now let's say that Bob hates his dad and accepts my invitation to court. I arrange a matrilinear marriage between Lisa Jones and Bob Smith. They produce a son, Nick Jones.

In the meantime I kill Alan Smith, so that Bob becomes his father's primary heir. Soon after, Ted Smith dies too and my son-in-law Bob inherits. His heir is now Nick Jones. So far so good!

Let's suppose that Nick dies before he has any children of his own or brothers/sisters. Who would be Nick Jones' heir? Would the heir be Gary Jones (his mother's brother, of his dynasty) or Chris Smith (his father's and previous liege brother)? Could Gary inherit both my Jones kingdom and his nephew's Smith duchy?

Family tree: X - dead, == - marriage

texts: Do deaths caused after the final boss count against the Pacifist achievement?

texts:
I've just beaten Deus Ex: Human Revolution and gotten the Pacifist achievement.

   At the end of the game, Eliza offers you a choice of three different stories which you can provide to the world, and one where you don't broadcast anything.  The no-broadcast option seems the most honest to me, and it's the one that I ordinarily would have chosen, except that the only way to keep word from eventually getting out is to murder everyone on board the station.

Staying true to my character, I chose the Darrow ending because it meant nobody had to die. Afterward, I started wondering if I still would have gotten Pacifist if I had chosen the murder-everyone option. Trouble is, I can't go back and check - once the achievement is unlocked, it's unlocked, no matter how many other playthroughs I do.

If I qualified for the Pacifist achievement up to and including the final boss, but then chose to murder everyone on the station, would I still have gotten Pacifist?

Hopefully that made sense. Thanks for your help.

texts: What is needed for a game's stats to be saved?

texts:
Last night I played a few games with my friend. While in the last game, I suddenly remembered something I had to do and was about to leave but my friend told me that I would lose my progress if I did so. I stayed until the end, through the scoreboard screen and quit while the next map was loading. Taking a look at my profile now, I can't see any of yesterday's games. I don't remember how much XP I had yesterday so there is no sure way for me to check that. I had gotten a dozen ribbon and I don't see them in the feed, but there could be specific conditions to be showing them.

My questions then.

If you quit a game early, do you lose progress / XP?
What if you quit on the scoreboard? Do you need to wait for the next map to load to save your progress?
Any idea why the games aren't showing up? Some of them I definitely waited for the next map to load. Is there a delay for them to be shown on Battlelog?

Thanks.

texts: Is the Mechromancer's Little Big Trouble tree worthwhile in UVHM (72 level cap)?

texts:
So far, the tree seems rather underwhelming, especially the low-tier skills like Myelin, More Pep, Strength of 5 gorillas, etc.

Evil Enchantress apparently doesn't affect shock, fire and acid direct damage; it only buffs the status effects which is pretty pointless when slagging an enemy does 3X damage.

Shock storm doesn't sound useful as most enemies won't be bunched up enough.

On the other hand, the damage buffs from Wires Don't Talk and Interspersed Outburst look very useful. Make it Sparkle also apparently gives Deathtrap massive additional damage of up to 3X.

Is it worthwhile to spec into this tree just for the end-tier perks?

My question comes from the "Oracle of [Ages/Seasons]" games, where the main "Damsel" is Nayru/Din respectively.

However, the third Goddess; Farore the Goddess of Courage is missing from this particular series.

So; my question is a bit of a two-parter.

Is there a game similar to these, where Farore is a main character in the games storyline, similar to Ages/Seasons?
Are Din and Nayru actually the Goddesses from the Lore, or are they just using the same names?

texts: Can I change the default control style of PS One Classics?

texts:
I recently bought Parasite Eve on PSN for my PS3. This is a PS1 game. It comes complete with old style gameplay, obviously outdated graphics, and all the nostalgia that comes with it.

When I boot it up to play, the first thing I make note to do is change the Controller Setting for Analog mode. On the PS1 this was not a problem. There was a dedicated button on the controller to turn thumbstick operation on and off. On the PS3? Not so much...

On the PS3 you press the Playstation button in the middle of the controller, go into Controller Settings, and change "Switch Analog Mode" from Analog Mode to Digital Mode. This turns off the thumbstick operation for moving and switches it back to the classic PS1 digital keypad for moving.

While this works nicely and all... I would like to find a way to make this the default mode for at least this game, if not all PS1 Classics.

How do I change the default setting for PS1 Analog Mode on the PS3?

  What are the advantages and disadvantages of each version of Azura's Star?

I am starting The Black Star Quest and I see that the reward is a Broken Azura's Star.

SPOILER ALERT

   Bringing it to Aranea Ienith makes it Azura's Star that can
 capture only creature souls. Instead, bringing it to Nelacar makes
 it The Black Star that can only capture black souls i.e human souls
 that are always Grand. (Are there other type of black souls?)

From my search I see that, black soul gems are not rare but I have played Skyrim for a few hours (reached Level 30) and still found just one! Where as Grand soul gems are easier to find but very hard to fill with 'grand souls'.

At first glance The Black Star sounds much better as there are a lot of humans, like bandits, available to full it with. In comparison, to fill Azura's Star one doesnt need to go looking for humans to kill, also morally good, as there are all kinds of creatures available to slay specially during fights.

Interestingly, if one goes for The Black Star then we dont get the option to have Aranea Ienith as a follower.

Overall, it seems like that Azura's Star is better for recharging stuff and The Black Star for enchanting.

My question is, which choice is better in the long run?

Or if I'm bartering it will sell the iron axe as well as the artifact under it. Literally anything that requires the inventory and it only happens about every seventh action. And its not my controller since i don't have this issue with other games.

How can I fix this behavior?


texts: What is the etymology of the term "Console Wars"?

texts:
(After this discussion on Meta, the question has been undeleted.)

As we know today, there is a competition between the holy trinity of the console gaming industry (Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft) about their different consoles and the games related to these. That is what we call the "Console Wars". We also often use this term to compare different consoles of the same generation, such as the Playstation 4, the Wii U and the Xbox One.

But now I am really curious about something. When did this concept of "Console War" appear in gaming history? Was it during a particular console generation? Did the term appear for the first time, for example, in a gaming magazine, or in a conference led by a gaming company? Or was it just something that people started to say and, with time, became the concept that we know today?


texts: How can I control the Romances in Mass Effect 2?

texts:
In Mass Effect I tried to get as far as I could in dialogues with characters, even though I was trying to remain neutral as to not get involved with anyone so I could remain loyal to Tali in Mass Effect 2, despite my best efforts to remain neutral but view as much dialogue Ashley came up but I had to blow her off.

Now playing Mass Effect 2 and I'm beginning to worry that my interactions with Kelly may be setting on the path to romance her while when I get Jack I want to be friendly with her however my target is Tali.

I am wondering, in Mass Effect 2 is there a way to control the relationships without having to just flat out ignore characters (so I still get the chance to explore their dialogue), like a particular conversation response that'll lock me with them or something? I'm on the Paragon path.

Secondly, when I look at the post-game carnage in the Crucible, I often see letters after some people's names, (usually all-caps). If anyone could explain these things to me that would be great.

EDIT: An example of the 1st question, the second place person has words that say "Warlock Master Race", however I have seen different things.


texts: Is a weapon with higher min/max damage better than a higher DPS for Demon Hunters?

texts:
I've read that for a demon hunter the weapon with the higher min/max dmg is better than the weapon with higher DPS but lower min/max dmg:

  This is why most people will see the best increase of pure damage based on the min and max damage of your weapon. Remember the dps stat is just to give you an idea of how good a weapon is, but it is not as important as the min – max damage of the weapon.

Furthermore, if a Pokemon is weak to Fire, is there a greater chance of the Burn status effect being inflicted?

texts: I am with the Brotherhood and the Minutemen. What will happen if I join the Railroad as well?

texts:
I'm more confused than in any game I have ever played. But it's Bethesda.

Anyways, I have no clue what to do. The Minutemen I joined because they are good, it's common knowledge. I joined the Brotherhood because I've seen them in action. I thought with power armor, vertiberds, I would be unstoppable. I already have 4 power armors. I thought that, well, if they made sure tech was kept away from man and used only for peacekeeping they were good.
So before my actually question, just a little side one... They are good right?

But anyways, my real one is I'm a knight of the Brotherhood and a general of the Minutemen. I just got a brain thing from a courser that should get me in to the Institute. But the railroad can only decode it. I'm afraid that they would want me to join. I'm so nervous. I believe in all the causes (beside the institute those guys are assholes.) but joining the railroad means helping free synths. How would the Brotherhood take this?

I'm taking nick Valentine so only he would know. But I really don't wanna screw up now. I'm nervous that the Brotherhood was not a good choice. I wanted all that Tech so bad, that I forgot.

texts: How do you calculate the total damage output?

texts:
According to my character sheet, my level 35 destroyer deals 514-1,028 strength damage, 0 ranged damage and 9-17 magic damage. Summing these values gives me:

514 + 0 + 9 = 523
1,028 + 0 + 17 = 1,045

Gnomeslice's level 24 alchemist, according to his character sheet, deals 2-3 strength damage, 306-612 ranged damage and 287-573 ranged damage. Summing these values gives me:

2 + 306 + 287 = 595
3 + 612 + 573 = 1,188

Does that mean that my level 35 destroyer deals 523-1,045 damage per second, while Gnome's level 24 alchemist does 595-1,188? or do these damage figures overlap, bringing a total damage per second that's less than the sum of its parts?


texts:
Say, for example, I have a weapon with  500 DPS and for stats it says +20% damage, +120 vitality, etc. Is that +20% damage incorporated with the 500 DPS shown or is it 500dps + an additional 20% damage?

I assume it is incorporated otherwise it would make those weapons a bit too op no? Then again it is quite redundant to show +% dmg on wep if it is already added to the dps.

Is this number already factored into the listed DPS of the weapon?
Does this number affect anything beyond the base damage of the weapon it is on?

If so, how?
Does it affect my off-hand weapon if I'm dual wielding?
Is it applied before my primary stat's multipliers?


texts: How can I skip the first level of Eggmanland?

texts:
Is there any way to skip the first level of the last continent (Eggmanland)?

I'm asking because I've tried numerous times to beat it and it is ridiclously difficult to pass. There are six parts, alternating between the normal Sonic and werehog Sonic forms and every time I try, I need at least an hour, maybe an hour and a half to get to the third time you are a werehog, before dying there and having to start all over.

It just seems way too difficult to bother anymore. I've let the game rot at the last continent for a very long time now, but I was wondering if anyone would know of any (cheating) way to get past this?

I do want to try the bosses after this level though, I'm not looking for a way to just skip to the ending (though this is preferable to no solution at all).

update:
Does anyone have any hints or tips to help me beat this level? Should I just go back and level my stats some more (though that wasn't why I died, it was the damn platforming and stupid camera angles getting in the way)..?

texts: What item is more preferable as Katarina: Hextech Gunblade or Will of the Ancients?

texts:
I have been thinking about this for quite some time now. When I have my Ionian Boots of Lucidity and I got "Hextech Revolver" as well as "Rylai's Crystal Scepter" and Rabadon's Deathcap what path should I take with the "Hextech Revolver" and why? Is it situational or is one choice better than the other?

Here is my thought process:

The "Hextech Gunblade" provides me with almost the same amount of AP with a little AD which is nice, but not that great in my AP build. The gunblade also has a short cooldown ability that adds more burst for that little extra kick when you need it.

The "Will of the Ancients" gives me 10 AP more and also adds an Aura so I boost my teammates AP by 30 and give them 20% spell vamp. In addition to that this item costs 1125 gold less to build.

I can see that the Hextech Gunblade is better by itself, but is it worth the extra money you have to invest to get it?

texts: When was not being able to release Pokemon with HM moves implemented?

texts:
As TwitchPlaysPokemon taught us, it is possible in early generations to release pokemon with critical HM moves, making it possible to permanently 'lose' the game.

However, at a certain point in the series, you could no longer release such a pokemon, presumably to avoid getting 'stuck' in this manner.

When in the series was this rule of not being able to release an HM-knowing pokemon implemented?

texts: What was Klunk's motive for helping Ratchet defeat Courtney Gears in Ratchet & Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal?

texts:
In Ratchet & Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal, Clank gets replaced with 'Klunk' by Dr Nefarious, after filming an episode of Secret Agent Clank at the Holostar Studios. Ratchet is unaware of this, and continues his journey with Klunk none the wiser.

Eventually, Klunk reveals his true intentions (in Metropolis on planet Kerwan). Dr Nefarious explains that he replaced Clank, has a laugh, and teleports away, leaving Ratchet to battle with the transformed 'Giant Klunk' in order to rescue Clank.

But (literally) just before this happens (1-2 levels away), Ratchet and Klunk infiltrate Obani Draco, an artificial moon used by Dr Nefarious to experiment with the Biobliterator. There they confront Courtney Gears (who is in league with Nefarious), and do battle with her, eventually defeating her. Klunk then quips:

  "One disposable Pop-star... disposed"

But why does Klunk not team up with her?

Courtney knew who Klunk was, having been part of the plan to capture Clank in the first place. They could've teamed up together and taken Ratchet out, making the point of Klunk confronting him solo later a moot point.
Courtney was a valuable asset to have, as far as Dr Nefarious was concerned. As a vocal supporter of Nefarious' plan, she could've been used as a front to promote the transformation as a good thing (and in fact was already doing so). As such I don't buy the 'disposable pop star' line. She was worth far more than was implied.
Klunk was in communication with Dr Nefarious (this was shown throughout the other cutscenes). Even if he wasn't sure whether he should reveal himself at that stage, he could've asked Nefarious for guidance.
At the time, Dr Nefarious was only really concerned with getting revenge against Qwark, and didn't see Ratchet as much of a threat. He idolised Clank (for his role in Secret Agent Clank), and that's what drove him to offer Clank to join his side in the first place. But he made Klunk to spy on the Q-Force in general, and keep tabs on their movements, as opposed to Ratchet specifically. Getting him to blow his cover, take Ratchet out, and fly back to the Starship Phoenix to continue spying on the Q-Force (whilst 'mourning') has no real downside from Nefarious' point of view.

However late game I've been running into a lot of problems with being tactical.  Sometimes my teammates will get pissed at me for not helping in team fights(when I'm trying to push a lane full of minions), jumping in too early, not going in for a kill even tho it would be suicide, or just getting caught up in a lot of bad situations where I die because I get stunned or slowed.

I guess I want to know how I can better my late game tactics.. does it come with just playing more champs and getting used to what all of them do so I know what to avoid? Is there a tactical guide I can follow or read? Maybe some of you could join me in game and give me some pointers.

texts: Dark Souls 3: Special ability / parry (L2 on ps4) sometimes triggers unintentionally. Why?

texts:
On a Dark Souls 3 for ps4 (latest patch but it's always happened), if you're locked onto an enemy, sometimes hitting circle (to roll) causes your character to parry rather than roll if a shield is equipped.

This happens for all of the weapons I've used but it's not exclusively a parry thing- whatever your L2 trigger does (default control layout- it's the Parry button), sometimes will trigger randomly in fights. Sometimes not even in fights.

Why is this happening and how can I stop it? Has anyone else experienced this?

It's infuriating.

Edit:
I've further refined this to a specific, easily reproducible example.
If you equip the Deep Battle Axe, pressing up and circle at the same time will cause the action of L2 happen.

https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls3/comments/4k063z/not_hitting_l2_but_powering_upparrying_somehow/

Edit 2:
Ok this just happens when you press L3.
Still. How do you turn it off?


texts: Pokemon Go update "isnt compatible with this device" even though it was already downloaded?

texts:
So, I downloaded Pokemon Go around July 20th iirc, and it worked more or less fine for a while. The last week or so I had been having problems opening the app while out and about. The other day when this happened I decided to try and see what I could do to fix it. When I went to see if it needed to be updated I got the message that "Your device isn't compatible with this version."

I thought that was kind of strange because I already downloaded the app fine? I checked the requirements and can't seem to figure out why it says it's not compatible?

I've got android version 5.0, and like I said, the app was running more or less fine before. The only thing I can think of is that I don't have enough RAM, but why would it allow me to download it in the first place, then? (And nearly everyone I know in person playing it has under 2GB of RAM)

It was fine for a couple of days, but now when I open the app it says I need to update it to continue playing.

I've been looking around for a fix (or at least a reason) for this problem, but I haven't found anyone with compatibility issues who already had the app downloaded and working.

[edit] I want to stress that the app was already downloaded and working, and that since the update, the system requirements haven't changed.

texts: How can I win tactical strike force missions?

texts: The first (and to date, last) time I tried to play the FOB Spectre mission, I was slaughtered in 3 minutes. It seems any 1 of my units is incapable of taking out any 1 enemy unit, and I only have 3 to defend 3 objectives. Is there a trick I'm missing? Apparently the number of retries I have is limited, and so is the number of story missions I can do before the tactical missions expire. Do my strike teams regenerate at some point, or will I be a total loser if I fail 3 times?


texts: Does Mount and Blade Warband have cheats to allow me to besiege a castle on my own? If so, how can I enable and use these?

texts:
I love to play Mount and Blade solo. I'm getting to the point where my character can win 1 v 75 battles without having to retreat. I'd like to be able to try and see just how far I can get with taking castles, but there's one problem:

There's a minimum party size of 5 or so when you wish to besiege a castle. No problem, I guess, I can hire 5 guys at a nearby town, start the siege and build the entire tower on my own whilst fending off bandits. But then it turns out you need to actually have like 5 people in order to even be allowed to start an attack during a siege.

I checked menus.txt of the game's files, and it seems there's several "cheat" options in there to forcibly start a siege. However, checking a wiki for the game does not list menu options as cheats... so how can I trigger those cheat actions?


texts: Running the Nether and Overworld on separate servers

texts:
I want to run the Nether and Overworld on separate servers connected via Bungeecord/Waterfall as a workaround for Minecraft's single-threaded performance. I've done this sort of thing before and I've already synced up all the necessary information between servers. This time, I am running into two problems.

Nether portals, previously I had predefined portals that would teleport players as soon as they entered a predefined zone, but with nether portals which are always being created and destroyed, I can't do that.
I need to calculate where the portals will end up and replicate vanilla portal behavior. I know Java and have some experience with Bukkit/Spigot/Paper but I'm not sure where to start in making a plugin for this.
I can't find a way to disable the Overworld on my second server, this can be resolved by teleporting players after they've been sent to the server but it's not an ideal solution and changing the generation to match that of the nether affects the spawning of mobs.

I'm pretty skilled with computers and general and I can do a little bit of Java programming, but don't worry about throwing something a little complicated at me. I just need some solutions and ideas (though I would prefer using already existing software or plugins instead of writing and maintaining my own).
This is a repost in a different section, as my question(s) don't exactly fall under one category.

texts: Forza 4 racing weak vs strong cars like in Forza 3

texts:
in Forza 3 it was possible to tune out a car to ridiculous levels of performance (like 400 hp Mazda 2 - class A) and still race against class F AI opponents in some events. It was fun as I was also able to take Dodge Ram and harass the small AI cars, wreck them, crash them and do general evil in a simulator-like game.

Unfortunately, I can't find a way to do this in Forza 4 anymore. Is a possibility of having 15 F-class AI cars on track and crushing them with super fast Hummer H1? As far as I have discovered, there isn't a way to race cars with lower classes, except for a handful of mixed-class events.

Should I go back to having fun in Forza 3 or is there a way to do this in Forza 4?

Ignoring the Oculus and Hamburger (Menu/Pause) buttons and the analogue Hat, there are 8 buttons in total between the two controllers (A, B, X, Y, plus left and right versions of both trigger and grip), but there are 12 different values used in the original Elite Touch controller .binds files.
When I capture my own bindings, I only see the eight binding values for the eight buttons:
Buttons I can capture               Buttons only seen in .binds file
---------------------------------   ---------------------------------
Pos_OculusTouch_IndexTriggerLeft    OculusTouch_IndexTriggerLeft
Pos_OculusTouch_IndexTriggerRight   OculusTouch_IndexTriggerRight
Pos_OculusTouch_HandTriggerLeft     OculusTouch_LThumb
Pos_OculusTouch_HandTriggerRight    OculusTouch_RThumb
OculusTouch_A       OculusTouch_B
OculusTouch_X       OculusTouch_Y

I now have custom bindings which work for me, but I want to understand how I was supposed to be using the Oculus Touch controllers, and how I might use those binding values myself.

On the controller, how do I activate functions bound to  OculusTouch_LThumb and OculusTouch_RThumb?
On the controller, how do I activate functions bound to  OculusTouch_IndexTriggerLeft and OculusTouch_IndexTriggerRight?
What is the difference between Pos_OculusTouch_IndexTriggerLeft and OculusTouch_IndexTriggerLeft?
What is the difference between Pos_OculusTouch_IndexTriggerRight and OculusTouch_IndexTriggerRight?

Examples
In original Oculus Touch bindings, the Pos_ versions are used for
---------------------------------   ---------------------------------
Pos_OculusTouch_IndexTriggerLeft    Pos_OculusTouch_HandTriggerRight
---------------------------------   ---------------------------------
SecondaryFire                       PrimaryFire
CyclePreviousPage                   CycleNextPage
CamZoomOut                          CamZoomIn
MultiCrewSecondaryFire              MultiCrewPrimaryFire
                                    StoreCamZoomIn & StoreCamZoomOut !
ExplorationFSSZoomOut               ExplorationFSSZoomIn

while the non Pos_ versions are used for
OculusTouch_IndexTriggerLeft        OculusTouch_HandTriggerRight
---------------------------------   ---------------------------------
DecreaseSpeedButtonPartial          IncreaseSpeedButtonPartial
MoveFreeCamDownAxis                 MoveFreeCamUpAxis

and the Thumb keys are bound to
OculusTouch_LThumb                  OculusTouch_RThumb
---------------------------------   ---------------------------------
UseAlternateFlightValuesToggle      ToggleFreeCam
ToggleBuggyTurretButton             FixCameraRelativeToggle
MultiCrewToggleMode
FixCameraWorldToggle

Incidentally, it looks like StoreCamZoomOut on Pos_OculusTouch_HandTriggerRight is a mistake.

Note, checking suggestions in comments, I can confirm that Elite Dangerous doesn't use any position or orientation information (6DOF) from the Oculus Touch controllers at all. You can use vJoy with elite-vr-cockpit to create a virtual HOTAS, but it's very fiddly (launch vJoy, then elite-vr-cockpit, then Elite in Windows 7 compatibility mode, to force it to run in Steam VR, plus having to reboot after every vJoy configuration change) and it really didn't work well for me.
I also verified that Elite doesn't register a trigger or grip until those buttons are actually pressed - just touching them isn't enough. Nor does Elite have any binding for 'thumb in it's rest position'.

texts: Why does Syndra see such popularity in recent pro play?

texts:
Syndra really got a mid lane revival in LCS for apparently no reason. No changes to the champion (since mid season mage update), no changes to her items.

Is there a determinable reason for that phenomenon or is it just that someone re-discovered her strength?


texts:
So, I have built the Lakeview Manor house. So far I have the storage room for the north wing and the armory for the east wing. For the west wing, I can choose between Enchantment Tower, Greenhouse and Bedrooms. I have a couple of questions regarding this:

Is it possible to replace the additions I already built for the north and east wing with one of the other options? If it isn't in vanilla, is there a mod that will allow me to do that?
Why would I need a bedroom as my west wing addition? Doesn't the main house have enough beds for wife, two kids, the stewart and the bard? Will I need to build the Bedroom addition in order to get all of those?
Related to this: do I have to plan ahead before getting the 'Remodel House into Entryway' addition? The bed in the Small House is currently being used by my wife Aela; I have one child, a stewart and a bard. And even though Aela keeps bitching about the bandit attacks, I don't want her to have to sleep on the floor...


texts: When to identify loot, when not to bother?

texts:
This is a duplicate of When should I be taking the time to identify items, and which items should I not bother with? , as it was decided that question was a duplicate of How to identify items without getting killed. I was too slow in editing to clearly define the question, and I'd like to ask again. To be clear: this question asks WHEN to identify, not how.

There are plenty of guides on how to identify items, but I can't find any on when to bother with it. Certain levels may have many of the same type of monster which will drop much of the same types of items (ex, mines). Turn management can be critical in many places, say, bad circumstances, early game, little food, low-apport pets, weight considerations, etc.

Obviously, this can be highly circumstantial - say needing a particular drop - but I'm more interested in the best general approach to the best general bell-curve of turns/circumstances vs items. I'm also interested in addressing the item hoarder's fear: "I didn't try on every [common monster]'s drops - what if I missed something good?" When should I be taking the time to identify items, and which items should I not bother with?

I started a list to help answer, please do add or edit:

all amulets (because they are rare, and if uncursed, very desirable)
any items that might be a prize for a certain area (ex, sokoban ; consult wikis)


texts: How do I know how close my enemies are to their deaths?

texts:
I am currently in the Olympus Coliseum fighting against Cerberus. It's taking me a few tries, and it feels like the fight is pretty long.

That got me to thinking - most games I play have some sort of HP bar not only for me, the player, but also major bosses.

It doesn't look like KH has something like this, but maybe I am just missing it.

Is there any way to know how close I am to defeating a boss during a fight?

texts: How can I pump lava without the Buildcraft pump?

texts:
Buildcraft affects my fps too much, as such I'm looking for a replacement. So I need a way to pump lava without using BuildCraft.

Do you know any other mods that can pump and not kill my fps?

I've also tried the pump from extra utilities but it didn't really work the way I wanted it to.
