texts: Are rifles and two-handed SMGs worthwhile in Max Payne 3 mutiplayer?

texts:
I've been playing a good bit of Max Payne 3's multiplayer.  I was very surprised at how polished it is.

That said, I've been playing mostly deathmatch (8-player free-for-all), and I've found SMGs and rifles feel underpowered.

Sniper rifles notwithstanding, I haven't found a rifle that works better than dual or even single Bulls (the magnum revolvers).  After all, the revolvers, at least with the mod to reduce damage drop-off, seem to have similar range and better accuracy, and while their fire rate is lower their single shot damage is better.

Likewise, two-handed SMGs seem totally eclipsed by simple combos like 1911/M10, filling the medium-range gap with the 1911's (or other pistol with compensator) reach, and much more devastating at close range.

Now, I've had moderate luck with the .40 cal SMG, as it seems to hold its accuracy okay, but it's definitely nothing to write home about, and all the automatic rifles seem to have horrible accuracy degradation, with slow recovery.  The Mini-30 is pretty decent, but it's hard to justify using that over dual Bulls... although I guess that's just an indication that the Bulls are overpowered.

It's sort of disappointing, since I like engaging in the medium-to-long range area, but rifles, which should be best there, are pretty lackluster.

TL;DR: y rifles suck?  D:

Thoughts?

texts: F-22 Air Dominance Fighter compatibility on Windows 7

texts:
I know, we're talking about history but 2 days ago I got my hand on this wonderful combat flight simulator but I can't manage to play with it. I've installed it and no problem with that.
I've tried to set the compatibility option but no success.
I don't know, maybe a windows 98 emulator?

OS: Windows 7 32-bit but it does the same on XP 32-bit. The game simply doesn't start, when I clicck on the icon I got the prompt of windows which signals the crash.


texts: How to actively prevent becoming the junior in a personal union in Europa Universalis IV?

texts:
I am playing my first game in EU IV as Castile and it is pretty awesome. However, I got dragged into a personal union under Austria and I am wondering how this could have been prevented. I had four Royal Merriages but I didn't get a heir. When my monarch died, I found myself as a vassal of Austria.

Thus, I have two major questions:

How can I actively prevent getting dragged into a pu ahead of time? What else can you do than establish Royal Merriages? Is there anything else?
Now that I am a vassal, how to deal with it? What can I do to make the best out of my situation? Are there any other options than fighting a war to become independent again? If I fight such a war, who will be the new leader (since there is no heir)?


texts: Is there an optimal method to explore dungeons?

Is there any way to "promote" Enderman spawning so I can get pearls more quickly?


texts: Is there a tool that checks for cheats and hacks in a given replay?

texts:

Does such a tool exist for Starcraft 2?

texts: How Can I Reproduce GLaDOS' Voice Modulation Effect?

texts:
One of things I'm particularly interested is how they transformed Ellen McLain's voice to GLaDOS' musical one.  I don't think it's entirely a natural effect by voice acting, though I have to admit I was impressed when I listened to McLain's unaided attempt at GLaDOS on a commentary just now.  I'm thinking I'm hearing significant overtones and harmonics in the voice, and I'm wondering how I might recreate that effect for myself.

I guess I should clarify my question:

What makes GLaDOS voice sound as it does? How might I achieve that same effect?


texts: How do I get my joystick to work with Touhou 7.5 Immaterial and Missing Power?

texts:
I downloaded Touhou 7.5 Immaterial and Missing Power the other day, and I've never been very good at playing Fighters on the keyboard.

I have an SFxT Fight stick that is for the Xbox 360, but works with PC because its for the 360 (Microsoft). I use for it SSF4 on the PC so it does 100% work fine. I just can't get it to work on Touhou 7.5. When I try to config it, it never picks up the joystick.

Would I need some sort of driver for the game/joystick itself or a version of the game that supports joystick use? I've tried to look for a version that has joystick compatibility, but I can't seem to find anything.


texts: Do subsequent playthroughs of Undertale get easier?

texts:
After hearing about it for too long I finally picked up Undertale (and a Switch, too). I'm attempting to avoid spoilers as best I can, but I know there are multiple paths -- I'm afraid even googling this question will lead to spoilers.

That said, while the game is fun, I'd rather not slog through all the fights again if possible (of course, I'm pretty sure the fights are plot relevant...). Do subsequent playthroughs get easier/quicker? At that point I'm interested in the plot points.

Edit: To clarify, I'm asking if the game mechanics get easier with the New Game Plus feature (faster walking, easier fights, either through stat-carryover or less objects to dodge, etc, etc).


texts: How to sign into multiple accounts on Black Ops 1 or 2 PS3

texts: I'm having trouble signing into multiple accounts on my PS3 locally. I want to assign each controller/player their account, but the game is not allowing to me do so, like on the 360. Whenever I connect a controller to the console and press X to join, it joins, but it gives the first account to that controller and adds a number to the end (i.e. Player1(2)). How do I sign into multiple accounts for offline multiplayer?

texts: How much does Diffusal Blade slow enemies?

texts:

texts: How can I play Guitar Hero 3 (PC) using PS3 guitar on Windows 8

texts:
I know that it was quite simple to set up and use Guitar Hero 3 guitar from PS3 when I was using Windows 7. Now, my new PC already has Windows 8. And, while my PS3 is long gone, I still kept the guitar, because I could use it with my PC game. For some reason tho, Windows 8 is not recognizing the device anymore.

How can I set up the controller on Windows 8?


texts:
I just started playing Realm of the Mad God on Steam. The intro video shows the map rotating as players move around it, but I can't find any key (or key maps) which do this.

Is it possible to do in the Steam version?


texts:
In your personal Steam profile you can see your average game completion percentage (which, for me, sits at a pathetic 33%).  However, I can't seem to find a way to see which of these games Steam considers actually completed.  Simply looking at a game's achievements does not seem enough for me: for instance, the game Splice has a main game and an epilogue, but is the game completed when the main section is, or only when you've finished the epilogue?

Even if these details were obvious from looking at a game's achievements, going through every game you own and checking these achievements requires a ridiculous amount of time if your Steam account is like many peoples'.  If Steam already feels it knows what games you've completed I was hoping they might also have a list of said games.  So the question is, is there a way to see a list of all games that Steam believes you have completed (but not necessarily gotten 100% achievements on)?

EDIT: See comment on accepted answer.


texts: How do I split stacked materials in equal stacks on the crafting table?

I have Linux (Lubuntu 16.04) and I play M&B Warband on Steam. I'd like to try the Anno Domini mod, but I'm not sure how to add it to my game and if it's even possible with Steam distro and Linux.

So, is it possible? And if it is, then how should I do it (I've never used any mods before)?

I guess, that on Linux I can't use the .exe installer which can be downloaded from the link...

I parked a space station in Jool's equatorial orbit and inclinated a little to avoid collisions with Tylo or Laythe.

After a 5 year tourist contract mission near Duna, I opened the mission control to find my space station "in an escape trajectory away from the Sun". I know that either Tylo or Laythe must have slingshoted my station.

Question : How to be sure that my ship/station will not meet the SoI of a nearby moon ?

Vanilla/stock answer prefered but I have KER and MechJeb installed.


texts:
So my friends and I are building a Minecraft server with TDM, CTF, and FFA. My job is to make it so that when a player dies, they will respawn with x items. Using the Halocraft mod, the loadout system when starting looks like this:

testfor @a[r=500] > clear @a > give @a 4534 > give @a 4537 > give @a 4515 64 > give @a 4516 24 > more give @a commands for armor.

After the clear, all players receive an Assault Rifle, Magnum, along with 64 extra rounds for the AR, and 24 Magnum rounds.

We need a separate system to detect a player death, then clear said player's inventory, and give all new gear. How would you do that?


texts: How to mix PS3- and PC-Sound for one headset?

texts:
I like to play games on my PS3 while I'm talking to my mates on Teamspeak on my PC. So I switch to PTT (Push To Talk) on Teamspeak to not broadcast my TV-Sound all the time and simply play. That is kind of annoying, because I need to press some button on a keyboard next to me to speak and may need to pause the game to prevent broadcasting while I'm talking.

Both Screens (TV & Monitor) are not directly next to each other. My Monitor is connected via DVI to my PC, my PS3 videosignal is going through HDMI to my TV and the audiosignal goes through the optical port to my home theatre.

So my question is: Is there a way to mix both audiosignals together (without any audio/video-ansync-lag) on one headset? I think I might need a 2 channel mixer, but I'm not very familiar with those kind of hardware. Maybe there is an easier way to do this?

If you need any further information let me know :)

PS: I don't know if this question is fitting this part of SE :/ If not feel free to point me to the right site. Thanks!

texts: How can a game have both Full and Partial Controller suport?

texts:
When looking at the game Scourge: Outbreak I noticed that it features both "Partial Controller Support" and "Full controller support".

At first I thought maybe if a game has full support, it must also have partial.  Goat Simulator, however, only has full support.  Looking through to see if I could find another game with both, I found Mercenary Kings also features Partial and Full support.


texts: How can I cure tourism with an MKS medical bay in KSP, and do I know if it's working?

texts:
Here's the situation: I have a station full of Kerbals who have gone insane in space due to homesickness, and now believe they are tourists. The station has a medbay (the MKS Tundra Medbay highlighted in green), and colony supplies for it. I have sent out a team of medics, scientists and engineers to help the locals, and to construct more habitat modules.

Now, I have a scientist, and a medic for good measure, in the medbay with one of the unhappy tourists. The medbay is active, and showing a 40% load. Is this working? Is that load % the "it's working" indicator? How long will it take to cure a Kerbal of tourism? What about 20 Kerbals? I've timewarped ahead a few days, but there is no sign of change in her condition.

The usual troubleshooting:

I emptied the medbay before transferring staff in, and then transferred the first tourist in afterwards
The station does not lose power when passing through the Mun's shadow
There is a surplus of regular supplies and colony supplies
I've loaded and unloaded the vessel

Mods as requested:

The USI suite of mods, for resources and industries, life support, bases and stations, and asteroids that are not empty ping pong balls.
Tweakscale, to lift large loads without ridiculously high parts counts.
Mechjeb, to automate those big repetitive launches and rendezvous procedures.
kRPC, to finally automate the above for reals, and to bring the power of Python to bear on space math.
Not a mod: Jupyter. I would not have been able to keep track of everything going on here without a notebook. The advantage of this one, is that it can host copy-pasted documentation, and it can run code that can control the current vessel. Nice to have those two interleaved with each other.
Extraplanetary Launchpads; this station's primary purpose is to host builds (staff and materials) that are too big to launch from Kerbin.

And a bunch of other general utility mods that aren't relevant to this station. Alarm clock, TAC fuel balancer, persistent rotation, Scansat, Infernal Robots (not used).

texts: Do Spectral Blades - Healing Blades get a bonus penalty in inferno?

texts:
I'm considering trying out a melee wizard build for Inferno (now that monsters in acts 3/4 don't hit quite as massively!) but was wondering one thing...

I know that Lifesteal (weapons with 2.5% damage turned into life) gets an 80% penalty (IE. it's only 20% effective) in inferno difficulty to curb the potential invulnerability from the stat early on like D2 had.

I was wondering if the wizard skill Spectral Blades with the rune Healing Blades (on a crit, get 8% of the damage back as life) gets this same penalty, or can I be sure to get that full 8% returned?

If it takes an 80% penalty it's totally not worth it.  But if it doesn't it looks promising.

My question is, should I bother with the first Assassin's Creed game? I know there are a lot more out there now. Will I miss a lot of the story if I were to jump straight to the second game? Or Unity?

Should I begin from the first game or are the later ones so much better that missing some of the story does not matter?

Imagine I keep 99 pieces of berries and each potion (don't mind the bag-limit ;) ) and I spin a Pokéstop.

Do I get only Pokéballs? Do I recieve only the items I can carry? Or will another "stack" of items be opened? Or do I have sheer bad luck with getting Max-Potions?

texts: Is there a difference between IAS from armor and weapon IAS?

texts:
Possible Duplicate:
  Why do some items that increase attack speed work, and others don't?

In Diablo 2, there was a difference between Increase Attack Speed (IAS) on weapons and IAS from other sources (such as Armor/Jewelry).

I started to wonder about the same in Diablo 3, when I looked at weapons that have an IAS property, such as this axe: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/artisan/blacksmith/recipe/the-wedge

As you can see, the item-information states: 1.46-1.47 Attacks per Second, which is more than an axe has without the IAS (1.3 in that case). Equipping such a weapon while having other items with +IAS, won't change that number. This leads me to the conclusion that there might be two separate IAS calculations going on. The IAS on the weapon changes the base weapon speed, while all other IAS is multiplied with that base-speed.

Which in turn would make IAS on the weapon itself more valuable.

Does anybody know how the formula for attack-speed works? Are all sources of IAS being treated equally, or is there indeed a difference between weapon-IAS and armor-IAS?

I've seen the workaround which involves changing the audio sample rate to 16bit 44100Hz, but to the best of my knowledge, both cards seem to only support a 16bit 48000Hz sample rate. Are there any other workarounds, or does Skyrim simply not support my hardware?


texts: How to place items in the given position in Minecraft?

I would like to place (drop) some items (or "destroyed" blocks) in the given position.

I can use commands only, command blocks shouldn't be used.

Is ranged attack (missile) considered incoming projectile? What spells are considered to be incoming projectiles in DotA?

I want to be able to play movies I have on a USB stick and an SD card on my Xbox One or Wii U because my PS3 died. I'm finding it impossible on both. What am I supposed to do to play my movies?

texts: What do I have to do to unlock activities in other parts of Steelport?

texts:
One of the things I enjoy about the Saints Row series is the side activities: Insurance Fraud and that kind of thing. I'd like to play more of them, but right now I only have activities unlocked in one area, the central Morning Star-controlled area. (Nine of sixteen are currently unlocked.) The other parts of town have 0 of 15, 0 of 13, and 0 of 12 unlocked.

What do I have to do to unlock activities in other parts of town? I've completed 9 missions overall: the last one was Trafficking. Do I have to complete more missions or more activities? Do I have to reach a certain level of respect? Can someone help a fellow Saint out?


texts: How to disable game alerts from RDR2 on PS4?

texts:
I keep getting notifications from Red Dead Redemption 2, about new clothing options or things that I have absolutely no interest in. I don't really play this game any more. How can I disable them?

I unchecked the "Game Alerts" option in settings months ago, but that doesn't seem to be the right option because they still pop up.


texts: How can I enable audio when window is out of focus

texts:
Lately when playing Mass Effect, I often find myself attempting to multitask between playing the game and doing something else like chatting with a friend.

When I alt tab over to my friend's window, the in-game audio stops. It would be useful if this audio would continue as I could listen to dialog in the background while typing casual conversation to a friend (or something similar).

Is this option available via the ini files?

Or is there something else I can do to make the window think it never lost focus?


texts: Can you make the game save regional match making setting?

texts:
Before you start your queue you can set up matchmaking settings. There you have Game Modes, Region and Language options.

Now I have set them all up to my liking, but I have a problem with regional setting. The game seems to save/remember all other settings I've selected except in which regions do I want to play. So every time I start the game, I have to pick regions all over again.

Is this some kind of bug, or is the game made that way? Is there a way to make the game remember my region settings too?


texts: What is meant by "when the moon is out" in the Silent Moons Enchant?

texts:
The "Silent Moons Enchant" Enchantment states that it effect happens "when the moon is out", but what exactly does this mean?

To be specific:

Does it matter where you're located? (inside / outside)
Does the weather has any influence? (clear sky or not)
Do the Phases of one or both of the moons matter? (moonlight?)
Does it use charges when the moon is not out?


texts: What is the cause of so many people disconnecting at the beginning?

texts: For multi-troop cards does Damage Per Second apply to each troop or all troops collectively?

texts:
For example, the Barbarians card, which spawns 5 barbarians, shows DPS as 165 at level 13. Does this mean each barbarian does 165 DPS or is it 33 DPS per barbarian (165/5)?

texts: Can Minecraft for Windows 10 create Map Markers?

texts:
I have read about creating a Map Marker with Bedrock edition v. 1.9.15: create a banner, create a locator map, and point the map at the banner and right-click.
But, when I do that, nothing happens. I thought that Windows 10 version was part of Bedrock edition. I go to the Windows Store and it says I have the latest edition.
Anyone know?

texts: What do skill boosting affixes affect and what they don't?

texts:
Some skills, when combined with a particular rune, grant a secondary effect like Demon Hunter Sentry - Spitfire Turret launching rockets or Crusader Punish - Roar exploding in flames upon blocking or Barbarian Whirlwind - Dust Devils launching tornadoes while whirlwinding and so on.

When you have an item that boosts a certain skill damage, does this
also boost the secondary rune effect? (tornado, rocket,
explosion...etc?)
When you have an item/set-bonus that actually triggers a skill
without you using it like the Demon Hunter Embodiment of the Marauder set that causes Sentry
to use hatred spenders or the Barbarian Bul-Kathos's Oath that triggers a
whirlwind on its own, do these "item" triggered skills benefit from
the skill boosting affixes?

texts: I've finished playing Pokemon Ultra Sun quite some time ago but I could never figure out how to activate the cross-over story (where Team Rainbow Rocket would invade Alola). I sincerely hope this story is still playable, because that was the sole reason why I bought the game. Sure, the few new Pokemon are cool but I paid $59.99 to fight previous team leaders and past legendaries.


texts: What happens if someone teleports from the Nether past the 3,750,000 X/Z coordinate?

texts:
According to the Wiki:

  Locations in the Nether correlate to Overworld coordinates, but horizontal Overworld distances are scaled down by a ratio of 8:1 for travel in the Nether. Therefore, travelling one block in the Nether means travelling 8 blocks in the Overworld.

So, the 3,750,000 horizontal coordinate correlates to the 30,000,000 (The world's limit), what happens if someone teleports past the 3,750,000 X/Z coordinate in the Nether. Will he/she be teleported outside of the world?


texts: Where should one hit an AT-ST Walker to do the most damage?

texts:
Recently when fighting an AT-ST Walker it appeared to take more damage per blaster shot on the legs than than the "head" of the walker.  Similar to how the AT-AT walker takes more damage on different parts of the larger walker.

That leads me to wonder, what part of the AT-ST walker is most vulnerable?

If one can hit the walker anywhere on its surface, where can one do the most damage?


texts: Difference between Attack Boost, Damage Boost, and Demolition Boost in Valkyria Chronicles?

texts:
In Valkyria Chronicles (PS3) does the increase in damage make up for the additional CP?

Say I have 5 CP to take out a tank. I could do:

Attack Boost for 1 CP
4 CP of basic boost attacks

or

Damage Boost for 2 CP
3 CP of medium boost attacks

or

Demolition Boost for 3 CP
2 CP of high boost attacks

Does sacrificing an attack for an additional boost make up for it? Which boost is the optimal?

texts: Differences between the N64 Passport Plus versions

texts:
Last night I bought an N64 Passport Plus from someone on eBay, as there's a bigger range on N64 games, and some that I just can't find in Australia.

While researching the Passport, I noticed that there are four revisions - N64 Passport, N64 Passport Plus, and N64 Passport Plus II and III.

Are there any differences in versions, asides from what wikipedia lists in terms of game compatibility, and the original Passport not having Gameshark?

texts: Armour won't show in my inventory after I pick it up

texts: When I pick up daedric boots that I made with the atronach forge under the College of Winterhold, they won't show in my inventory. I've tried exiting the game and reloading a previous save, but it still won't show. What do I do so that they show?


texts: Has the loot system been rebalanced in the pre-sequel?

texts:
So, I picked up the pre-sequel, and am about level 15. I've already found an orange shield from a badass enemy, and seen three in the Marcus Machines. They do however seem nerfed compared to the kind of legendary loot you'd get in Borderlands 2. Did 2k Australia rebalance the loot system? I'm definitely seeing more white/green than blue/purple/orange, but higher level loot seems more common than previous iterations.

Also, does "When Grandma Burps, Patrick Obeys" still apply, or are there other classes of loot?

texts: What is the last mission I can do for each faction before they'd hate me?

texts:
As you reach the end, you get 3 missions, each indicating that one of the 3 main factions (the NCR, Caesar's Legion and Mr. House) are watching you and if you continue to help the other 2 factions you'll be treated as an enemy and fail any remaining missions with those factions.

I am wondering, what is the last mission I can do for each of the main factions before they hate me? This would be under the assumption that I've done NCR and Legion side quests before triggering the Reputation Reset with them after I made contact with Mr. House.

texts: How can I get rid of a blind Cave Troll?

texts:
I have a blind Cave Troll unconscious in the center of my fort. This has brought the entire place to a stand still because every dwarf is too terrified of it to do anything. I have a full military of 10 dwarves set to kill it but it looks like it might be healing faster than they can kill it. These are extremely under qualified dwarfs. I can't use my workshops to build anything to help. What can I do to get rid of the damn thing?

I'm playing on v34.


texts:
The Axii sign should allow Geralt to get one enemy to fight on his side for a short while. This sound extremely useful for fighting groups, but I was unable to get it to work so far.

What happens when I use it on an enemy is that he gets distracted for a second and some visual effect is visible on the enemy. But he doesn't attack other enemies and the whole thing lasts only a second or so.

Am I doing something wrong, or does the Axii sign just not work on many enemies?


texts: Are Playstation Plus subscriptions region locked?

texts: Do you build things randomly or wait for Palpatine's missions?

texts:
I'm asking because I built an Imperial floor right after the "imperial items" told me I have to build a new floor to progress. About 4 missions later Palpatine asked me to build a new imperial floor. I couldn't do it though, because it said I needeed to progress in the game before building a new one. Therefore I had to skip that mission and spend 2 precious bux.

So my question is: can I build a new floor whenever I feel like it or is it better to get it assigned as a mission and do it then? And I don't mean just imperial floors, but residential and commercial as well. Right now I have 11 floors so I'm just at the beginning and I don't know how the missions look later in the game...

BTW it's a bit annoying that the old man does't recognise that I just accomplished his stupid mission 10 minutes ago.


texts: How to enable text chat/text box in CSGO?

texts:
A while ago, I learned a console command which hides the portion of your HUD which displays what you, your team mates, and your opponents type, as well as the text announcements for "flashbang" or "grenade out." This was very nice for a time since my opponents kept trying to BM me, but now I'm now trying to re-enable it. After quite some time, I haven't been able to find the command to do so. If someone could tell me the console command to unhide my game chat, I would greatly appreciate it!

Also note that I can still press y and u to type, and I hear the click when I send messages and when messages appear. However, I simply can't see any of it.

texts: How can I get rid of bodies lying outside my front door?

texts:
A few months ago as I fast traveled to Whiterun to deposit some items to my home, some mages, who were apparently cultists tried to attack me.

Needless to say, I put them down, and looted their bodies appropriately. Unfortunately, this has the result of their bodies still lying on the street. Every time I revisit Whiterun, their bodies lay stark naked on the pavement, while Ali'kir warriors say the same thing every time: "What's this?" and "What a damn shame."

I'd really like to get rid of this body.  Do bodies have some natural decay period?   If possible without the use of commands.  The bodies have been lying on the streets of Whiterun for nearly two months (of in-game time).


texts: Which one is the best for Garen: Cinderhulk enchantment or Sunfire Cape?

Lately, I'm playing Garen a lot and I always play with the summoner spells Teleport and Flash.

While playing Garen, I try to buy the Sunfire Cape as my 1st item.

Should I give up from the Teleport and got Smite instead to buy the Cinderhulk enchantment instead of the Sunfire Cape? Why?

I got this doubt after reading this post that compares the Cinderhulk and the Sunfire Cape


texts:
I am playing Brutal Legend through Steam and have just killed the fist Nun, very beginning of the game before getting the car or leaving the very first are.

I decided I want to change the lock-on button from ctrl to a thumb button on my mouse.  I hit ESC, go to the keymaping area of the menu, and click the activity I want to re-map.

A nice box pups up telling me to "Press any key or mouse".  I click the thuhmb mouse button I want to map to.  Nothing happens.  I try again.  Still nothing.  I try middle mouse button.  Nothing.  I have not pushed every letter on my keyboard as well as ctrl and a few other keys, but nothing changes.  I still see the pop-up message.

Maybe it froze, I think to myself.  I check task manager and it says it is Running, no issues at all.  I open steam overlay, works fine.  I try ESC to get out of the menu, still nothing.

So now I have tried mapping this to anything, including what it was, as well as trying to get out of the menu withough closing the game completely.  Nothing is working.  Any ideas on how I can re-map this or beck out of this menu without closing the game completely?

Here is the screen I am stuck at.

texts: Can I have the same save directory for both Linux and Windows?

texts:
I've recently been using Linux a bit more, and have set up a symbolic link to my Feed the Beast folder in %APPDATA%\feedthebeast to the /home/jeffreylin_/.feedthebeast folder so that they are the same place. So now the settings are synchronized.

However, there is also the problem of the save data folder, which is different from the launcher settings location. When I select the Options tab of the FTB Launcher, the Launch Folder section says that it is at D:\Games\Minecraft\Feed The Beast, which works for Windows, but for Linux, that same directory is at /media/Jeffrey/Games/Minecraft/Feed The Beast. Neither Windows nor Linux recognizes the other's filesystem, and thus I have to manually change the install location every time.

While I realize that there may not be a way to make these two synonymous with one another, there should be some way to automate changing between them depending on what OS I'm in. Can this be accomplished?

texts: Perfect test for uninterrupted redstone signal of a certain length?

texts:
Currently I am looking for a (preferably rather compact circuit) that will test whether a certain signal has been on for X amount of seconds.

Just get a Pulse Length Detector, you might say. Only there's a problem with that. When the input signal gets turned off and then back on, the old 'test' will still be successful and a signal will be emitted.

Is it possible to somehow make a 'perfect' test for an uninterrupted redstone signal of X seconds that does not get confused by several shorter pulses?

While it doesn't surprise me, I was wondering what else was possible to add on the Stun Gun, which is already silenced.

Also, in HR, it was possible to have Laser Sight and Silencer on the same 10mm Pistol, but I only see one attachement point on it,will I have to choose between them now?


texts: Where do followers go when not at their home?

texts: Recently, I noticed my follower Cicero disappeared on me. I went to the sanctuary, but he was not there, so I used the console command moveto to bring him to me. Interestingly, instead of following me, he walked out of the sanctuary and off into the wilderness. I followed him until he was attacked by a saber cat. After which he resumed normal follower activity. The question is, where was he going? Where do followers go when they aren't going home? I think it's a glitch, but they have to be going somewhere right? Is there  default location that NPCs go to?

texts: TES IV Oblivion - horrible performance on modern hardware

texts:
I have an AMD FX-6200 (3.8GHz, six cores) with a Radeon HD 6870 (1GB VRAM) and 8GB RAM. Playing Oblivion on maxed details I get around 10 FPS when standing in the middle of Niben Bay and looking across the water. In the Elsweyr/Anequina desert I get even less, so it's not just a weird problem with reflection or something.

I know that Oblivion is pretty heavy on the CPU and not really optimized for multiple cores. However, it doesn't even seem that Oblivion taxes any core to its fullest. I monitored the total system load on the hardware over a few minutes of playing and these were the results:

CPU: 80%, 75%, and 40%; the load on the other 3 cores was negligible. Those are the peak values, so at least 20% headroom there.

RAM: 4GB usage, with another 4GB headroom. I have enabled LAA for Oblivion, and when I play for longer it goes up to 5GB. So this doesn't seem to be the bottleneck either.

GPU usage: 10% peak; clearly this isn't the problem.

GPU memory: 800MB used, with 200MB headroom.

So what's the bottleneck? It can't be the HDD since then I would get stuttering while loading areas, but once they are loaded into the RAM it should run fine, right?

I should probably mention that I have a ton of mods installed (no ENB though) but while I am aware that this slows the game down, considering that this is a comparatively new machine 10 FPS still seems far too little. Especially since I can run maxed Skyrim just fine and I can't find a bottleneck anywhere.

So what's wrong and how can I fix it?


texts: Does Assassin's Creed Brotherhood "end" when I finish the main memory sequences?

texts:
Assassin's Creed Revelations came out today and I'm still half a game behind!

I want to finish as much of the side stuff as possible, but I also want to get through the rest of the main story line quickly, so that I can play the new installment of the series without spoiling the ending of Brotherhood for myself.

Is it possible to go back and keep playing to complete guild challenges, side missions, etc. after the main memory sequences are completed or is it more like the original Fallout 3 where the game after the last quest in the main quest line?


texts: When is Statikk Shiv better than Phantom Dancer?

texts:
I've really been trying to get good at the marksman/AD Carry role lately, and itemization for the role has been fairly confusing for me.

A lot of guides recommend Statikk Shiv now, and I still don't understand why. Phantom dancer is statistically much better in terms of damage output, so of course it's a little more expensive. Still, the return for the expense seems to be much greater.

So my question is, in what situations would I want to buy Statikk Shiv and not Phantom Dancer? The only reason I can think of is Statikk Shiv may help with split pushing, but I don't find myself split pushing on the marksman role very often since I obviously never take teleport and normally the team needs me for damage in any potential teamfight.


texts: Can I unlock the 'Hardware Enthusiast' Badge with a PS3 controller in MotioninJoy?

texts:
I'm having a little trouble earning the 'Hardware Enthusiast' Badge - the only requirement I have left is to launch a game through Big Picture with a controller.

I have my PS3 controller connected to my computer and I am running MotioninJoy with it emulating an Xbox 360 controller.

What i've tried (any action taken was with the controller)

I enabled and navigated Steam Big Picture
Launched Team Fortress 2 & I played a round or two
Exited TF2 and launched Portal 1.
Smashed through the test chambers.
Exited Portal

But somehow I still haven't earned the badge. I thought I might give it 24 hours to tick over, but still nothing. I've also tried exiting Steam and starting it up in Big Picture mode to begin with (tried TF2 again), but still no luck.

Is there something I'm missing here?

The games I've tried so far:

Team Fortress 2  (partial controller support)
Portal (partial support)
The Stanley Parable (full controller support)
Left 4 Dead 2 (full support)

texts: Which will provide more Stardust: one 10KM egg or five 2KM eggs?

texts:
In regards to which Pokemon are hatched, a 10KM egg will provide rarer and better Pokemon than a 2km egg. Disregarding the Pokemon that are hatched, I am more interested in the Stardust provided.

After visiting a couple of Pokestops, I harvested one 10KM egg and five 2KM eggs. In a world with having only one incubator, five 2KM eggs will take equally (hypothetically) as long to hatch as a 10KM egg

When I walk the first 10KM, would I receive more Stardust from the one 10KM egg or the five 2KM egg?

texts:
A bird shows up a couple times in Portal 2. First, it turns out that Wheatley escaped using a bird's egg (not sure how...). Then, a bird (presumably the mother of the eggs) comes and attacks Wheatley, causing him to cry out "AHH! Bird! Bird!"

A while later, a bird starts eating potato-GLaDOS. You eventually find its nest and get it off of GLaDOS, but then you see it later on: "Bird! Bird! Kill it! It's Evil!"

Did Valve mean anything by including the bird? It's the only other animal apart from yourself. Is this the same bird that attacked Wheatley? How did it even get that deep into Aperture Laboratories? Do all robots have Ornithophobia?

(Hypothetically) Uncharted 3 ISN'T offered as free for ps+ members anymore

So, if I downloaded, installed, played, etc. Uncharted 3 while it was free, will I have still owned Uncharted 3 even AFTER August 2013 when they stop offering it to ps+ members?

Also note, that during this time, my ps+ membership has NOT expired.

texts: How Much MB/Playthroughs do i need to complete the Remake System?

texts:
In the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth series there is the Remake System where you can spend materials and MB to complete plans such as getting new items, alter dungeons and changing how the game works (ie, break damage limit or destroy symbol attack).

I know that there a bunch of costly plans like the CPU Candidate Plans in Re;Birth and the Oracle Plans in Re;Birth 2 as these can cost 1024 MB each and it's not possible to make them all in one play through so you need multiple playthroughs to get Memory Increase drops from events (ie, Bosses, Chipper events)

So with the 3 Rebirth Games. how much MB do you need to make every plan in the Remake System and how many playthroughs do you need to get that much?

To use Genesis Supernova, a Pokémon must know the move Psychic and hold a Mewnium-Z crystal.

According to Bulbapedia,

  Mew, or a Pokémon transformed into Mew, can use Genesis Supernova if it knows Psychic, holds Mewnium Z, and if its Trainer wears a Z-Ring.  Mew cannot use Genesis Supernova if it is transformed into a Pokémon other than Mew.

Meanwhile, Ditto is one of three Pokémon that can learn Transform (and it only knows Transform), but it is incompatible with Mewnium-Z and cannot learn Psychic.

If this is the case, how can Ditto use Genesis Supernova?

Betting on GTA Online seems to be pretty temperamental. At the start of a race or deathmatch I may put some money on. Some times I’ll put the whole available amount ($10,000) on, but when the session launches I’ll get the, “Not enough bets placed” message. Some times, I can put just $100 on I’ll then see at the end of the match how much I made/lost based on the odds and whether the player I bet on won or lost.

So what is the prerequisite for a bet to go through? As it doesn’t seem to be the monetary amount. Do a certain number of players need to place bets , meaning if I’m the only one betting it doesn’t bother?

A few months ago, I restored my Mac from a Time Machine backup. Now, when I try to play a game on Steam (Civ 5 for example), Steam does not seem to be aware of the location of the game. I found the game on my hard drive, located at:

I believe the game was previously referenced in ~/Applications/

If I open the Civilization V.app for the game, it bounces in the dock and disappears when I click it.

Is there a way to restore Steam's memory of the location of the game?

texts: Halo 3: ODST Achievement - Killing things that are new and different is bad/good

texts: When I played through Halo 3: ODST I saw the "squids" and killed them when I saw them, and got a counter (1 of 10, 2 of 10, 3 of 10, etc) toward the achievement Killing things that are new and different is bad. Eventually, like in the scene when I'm in a banshee escorting the phantom through the city, when I would kill the squids, I wouldn't get that counter anymore, so I could never finish the achievement. On the other hand, I never saw ANY reference when I played toward getting the "good" version of the achievement. Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this, or why I might have stopped "getting credit" for my squid kills, and what the difference between the good and bad versions of this achievement are?

texts: BTD5—Spike Factories—which upgrade path does the most damage to MOABs?

texts:
MOAB-SHREDR upgrade (2-3) does extra damage to MOAB class balloons. The MOAB-SHREDR upgrade costs ~$3k (after 2-2). The final upgrade to 2-4 doesn't change anything, except giving a special ability (is that correct?)

The spiked mines path (4-2) costs much more, ~$15k past 2-2. They quickly pump out spiked balls that have a final explosion when the spikes run out. They seem much more destructive, but don't have that "extra damage to MOAB class balloons".

My question is, which path does more damage to MOAB class balloons? Could the MOAB-SHREDR upgrade be worth more in damage than the other path, despite being $13k cheaper?


texts: Command availability with multiple officers on base defense

texts:
Context of this question is under the current version of the Long War mod (b15f).

If at the soldier selection screen of a base defense mission, the player selects multiple officers, the highest ranking officer will be denoted as "Commanding Officer" (or similar wording).

On a normal mission, the commanding officer would be the only soldier with the command ability available during the mission. In this case, it is not guaranteed that the commanding officer will be selected (as 6 of the 12 will be chosen randomly).

If the soldier marked as commanding does not get selected, and one of the other officers does, will the active officer soldier have command available during the base defense mission?

texts:
Wu Qiufeng built this observer stabilizer on Youtube yesterday.

It looks really attractive and efficient but also confusing to me. Could someone tell me why the second pulse is prevented from firing the piston? Thanks.

I just did some further experiments on this contraption and placed under the observer a movable block instead of the melon. Now it gets stuck in this common observer piston loop. However, the fact that the sticky piston does not abort on the falling edge of the first pulse and pulls back the stone to its original position is unexpected and attracts my attention since I assume that observers always emit pulses of 1 redstone tick length, which theoretically would result in the abortion of sticky pistons (e.g. they leave the movable block on the off pulse and retracts itself without it). Does this suggest that the observer on the top layer contribute to the extension of the first pulse to at least 1.5 redstone ticks? If so, how does that happen? I thought the two horozontally placed observers would react simultaneously.

texts: What is the max number of "dropped" items in Minecraft?

texts:
I've stumbled upon an old forum thread saying the limit for "dropped" (floating) items is 200. Obviously items de-spawn after certain conditions are met (5 minutes in survival on PC), but the threads I found were concerning extremely large automated wheat farms whereas manually farming would gain a higher harvest than the automatic farm (because of the 200 items limit).

Can I get an answer that specifies the exact maximum number of dropped items for the latest version of Minecraft for each platform? The Gamepedia article I linked to above specifies that:

  On the console edition the item entity limit is 200 in loaded chunks.

I've yet to confirm whether this is outdated information or not and my searching hasn't landed me with a specific number for the PC version, either. I'd also like to know the limit for pocket and pi editions.

If you plant a claymore on the conveyor belt (which would be awesome since the area is bathed in red light and the claymore lasers would be hard to see) does it move along with the belt?

For my sake, I hope not :) It would be a good way to score a kill.

texts:
Is there any other items or abilities similar to Loot-A-Rang with less restriction?

The old non-toy version of Findle Loot-A-Rang used to be able to loot pretty much anywhere even inside dungeons and other places that might not seem useful at first.

My biggest reason to use Findle loot-a-rang is because sometime a rather large corpse would fall on top of a tiny corpse. The large corpse is unlootable because either it has no loot or was killed by someone else. However the small corpse is and you can see the "shining twinkle" that shows you have loot. So I use findle loot-a-rang to grab it and move on quicker.

However with Legion launch Blizzard for some reason or other decide to restrict all items, that I know of, like this to either having 125 engineering (not possible if you want to be a miner/JC or tailor/enchanter as an example) or using it in Draenor out-world contents.

Hunter's fetch doesn't count here because it is still restricted to hunter. It also has an additional drawback of pulling mobs.

So as a result it is noticeable just a tiny longer to loot as a non-engineer or non-hunter.

Is there a good workaround?

(This is Windows 10 edition with no mods.)

I have an automated sugar cane farm that uses a hopper minecart on a loop to zoom around and pick up the sugar cane that's been broken by pistons.

I've tried quitting right in the middle of watching the cart go past me, and when I reload it's stopped in front of me.

Based on what I've read online, a minecart is supposed to maintain its momentum when a chunk unloads and then loads again.  Am I misunderstanding how this works?  Is there some setting I can change?  Or is this a bug?

I’ve just bought Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. It’s a great game! Played through the first world already.

There are retro pop culture references all over it!

Anyway, in the opening scene there is a time machine built out of a washing machine. It has a display very reminiscent of the DeLorean in BTTF. It even has a flux capacitor in the drum and the display reads “888”.

So, I got interested and started to look closely at it.

The three dates are...

Sept 23 1889 11:27
March 12 1986 23:59
Sept 24 1990 08:24 (on closer inspection it could be 1998)

I found the first two dates.

Is the date that the company Nintendo was founded.
Is the date that the company Ubisoft was founded.
Is ...

I can’t seem to find it. The closest I’ve found so far is that the SNES was released in December 1990 but that can’t be right.

So... what is it referring to? I find this stuff fascinating :-)

Edit

I think the third year might be 1998. It’s hard to tell because it uses a digital display that’s sort of fuzzy.

Hi Martin,
This is correct. Once the bundle is over the offer has then since expired. This includes any order adders.
Any game in a bundle with a padlock beside the title will be marked as either a Beat the Average, Beat the $6 or $15. As long as purchases made at or exceeding these levels, or have had enough added to the existing order during the designated Bundle sale time will receive any games that are “locked”.
Thank you!

texts:
I've been playing DOTA 2 on a lenovo laptop perfectly for some time on very low graphics.  I just recently acquired an asus laptop with all-around better specs and it plays DOTA at a much higher visual quality.

My problem with this new Asus is that when i run dota the fps will drop from 50 fps to about 15-16 fps every 10 seconds which is ruining the experience.

I had my IT friend maximize the performance and he also reapplied a better quality thermal paste to the laptop and same deal, lag spikes.

I feel like this is not an internet issue because i can switch right over to the lower-specs Lenovo and it will run Dota with no lag.

Any possible diagnoses?

Edit: the game runs perfectly fine on my lenovo laptop that has significantly less impressive specs.  The asus should outrun my Lenovo on any game

texts: Is there a spell that can be added to a bow that allows instant death on stealth attacks

texts:
I'm thinking of starting a new game in the last 3 Elder Scrolls games and thinking of doing something like an assassin this time round.

I would rather do the whole assassin thing properly and get my targets with a bow rather than getting a huge sword and charging in head on, however my experience with bows in The Elder Scrolls is that you only gain a damage bonus from sneak attacks. I would rather do a sneak attack with a bow and know that if it hits, it will kill the target.

So is there any spell I can add to a bow to cause instant death to enemies, or even if it has some adverse affect that would be the equivalent?

As the title suggests, what are all the possible sources of XP on PokemonGo? I just manually evolved a Kakuna into a Beedril last night, and got 1000 XP for that, which has never happened to me before. Obviously there could still be other sources that I do not know about.

So, what are all possible ways to get XP?


texts: How to view my custom game engines' features?

texts: I created several custom game engines but I forgot their features. Is there a way to look their features or not?


texts: Should I actively fight as Torbjörn as far as damage output is concerned?

texts: I find that setting up a turret near a wall and mostly repairing it while hiding from enemies is a viable (while extremely cheesy) tactic. However, should I try to support my turret with my rivet gun to get more damage or is it most efficient to keep my turret up at all times to maximize it's single-life efficiency and use my gun for defense alone? Is there a huge benefit to actively fighting as Torbjörn or should I rely on the turret?

texts: Why is SWTOR not downloading through EA's Origin service?

texts:
So, I'm about to download SWTOR as written here http://www.swtor.com/early-access.

But it seems like I have to download the client by itself, not via the Origin program by EA, even if the game shows up in Origin.

Will the download be for the Origin service (linking it to Origin at the end) or does it have nothing to do with the service?

In short, will I have to redownload it after the Early Access (Dec. 20th) even if I download it now?

texts:
I've recently purchased GTA V on Steam. I was playing the game and I had decided that I wanted to buy in-game money (with real money). However, when I clicked the checkout button I got stuck with a small loading circle which then promptly froze.

Is there any way to get it working again?


texts:
These two path actions seem to yield the same results, except that Alfyns Inquire doesn't have a chance of failure.

What reasons are there to use Scrutinize instead of Inquire? Do you get better information from Scrutinize because it has a chance of failure?

If so, should I be running a team consisting of characters with only Noble path actions when in town?
