texts:
It is often said that a card got "value" when it can trade favorably, e.g. 2-for-1. But how much value does damage done to the hero add to the equation? For example, if a minion hits the hero once and then trades 1-for-1?

When the same minion dies in an AoE spell, how much damage should it have  done to "be worth it"? (As opposed to a minion who dies to an AoE spell without having done anything)


texts: Increases spirit regeneration by X per second

simple question if you know please enlighten me:

Items with "Increases Spirit Regeneration by x per second" do they constantly regenerate spirit when you're standing idle, or does it only increase the rate of spirit regenerated by spirit generating abilities?

Thanks.


texts: What exactly does Fortify Health/Magicka/Stamina increase?

texts:
I am unsure of how this works, does the effect increase both the maximum and current resource or just the maximum?

For example if I have a max health of 200 and I am currently at 100 health, I drink a potion that does Fortify Health 25 points for some amount of time. Does my current health increase to 125 along with my maximum health increasing to 225?

texts: Lost game progress after converting offline account to xbox live

texts:
First of all, I am completely new to Xbox community. I purchased it in a last week and still has small knowledge about it, so please be understanding.

I've been playing with my brother on my Xbox 360 E console for a couple of days. We were playing spit-screen on our offline accounts. Then, today, I decided to click "Join Xbox Live" for some reasons. Everything went smooth and now I have an online account. My brother did nothing with his account.

After that we wanted to continue our campaign in Aliens: Colonial Marines. We logged (myself with a new Xbox live account, and my brother with his old offline account) in, and realized that there is no option "continue campaign"! We can only start a new campaign from scratch. Moreover, my brother of course has all of his equipment and I lost mine. But, what is worth mentioning, all my Xbox achievements survived. So, my new online account, has some remains from my old offline account, but the most important part: saved games seem to be missing in action.

Has anybody encountered such problem? Is it possible that all my saved games are lost? Where does Xbox keep them? Is there anything I can do to try to bring them back? I would be very grateful for any help.

texts: Using Rin-gameboy emulator with VisualBoy Advance

texts:
I started playing Pokemon with my Android phone. I used my cartridge image with the RIN gameboy emulator. It's a port of the PSP one.

My save games (when uncompressed) have 70KB.

On Visual Boy Advance (which I'd like to play when not on my phone, and to do trades with myself :) uses savefiles that are 32KB.

Are those standard formats? Do I have any hopes of using one with the other?

I really thought every emulator would just make a binary dump of the sram or something :(

I can give more info on the contents of the files to try to identify the differences (if the sizes aren't a dead giveaway for the initiated). I'm also willing to spend some time to make a patch to the offending one (assuming at least one of those emulators simply dump SRAM).

Edit:
I tried to extract 32KB (or 32,768 bits, exact size of the Advance Boy saves and dat dumps) from the end of the 70KB file and now Advance Boy let's me import the file as flash or battery state without errors. But it's the same as just resetting, nothing changes on the saved states.

The command below:

tail -c 32768 PokemonRed.android.stat | less > PokemonRed.android.sav

will now search for the header of the 32KB files into the 70KB one.

Edit 2:

Here is the link for dumping save format.

texts: Rome total war running choppy on ASUS ROG GL551JW

texts:
I seem to be having a problem running Rome Total War on my ASUS ROG GL551JW. The game is choppy/glitch/laggy, no matter the video settings -- with max or min settings, the game remains choppy. This is strange given my being able to play Counter Strike: Source on max settings without a problem. Perhaps my computer is overqualified for Rome Total War? The specs for my comp are:

15.6-Inch FHD Screen. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 2G GDDR5 Discrete Graphics /
Intel Core i7-4720HQ 2.6 GHz Processor (Turbo to 3.6GHz) /
1 TB 7200RPM Hard Drive. 16 GB DDR3 RAM / Wireless 802.11 A/C. 10/100/100 Gigabit Ethernet Port / 3x USB 3.0, 1x HDMI, 1x MiniDisplay port. SDXC Card Reader.

The recommended requirements for the game can be found here: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri?gameName=rome-total-war&itemId=10210&p=r

It seems I should have no problem running this game without it being choppy. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

texts: What is this hash/checksum number in the top left corner in fortnite?

texts:
I'm watching a live stream where a guy is playing Fortnite, and there is some kind of hash or checksum vaguely visible in the top left corner (circled in red):

Here is a close up (sorry it's not the best resolution):

A quick google search for what this is yields me nothing.

I can also remember this code showing up in videos of other people playing Fortnite (for instance in this video). So this seems to be a feature of Fortnite. I don't actually play the game myself, so I've only run into this when watching other people.

I guess this is some kind of security feature? But what exactly is it, and what is it used for?

I've known about games using checksums before, but I can't think of a reason why it would need to be on screen the whole time.

texts: Conflict between RailCraft and GregTech in minecraft 1.6.4

texts:
I'm creating my own mod pack (just adding mods I like to one big mod pack to play with friends) and now I have the following mods added: mod list. The problem is, after adding RailCraft mod, when I start the server - everything works fine, server is running (I host server on my local host - the same machine I run client). But, when I start client and try to create new world, connect to server or load early created worlds client just stops responding. When I connect to my server I get player connected, then, after some amount of time, SocketTimeoutException and player disconnected. The main issue also is that I don't get any crash reports since client is not responding and I have to kill the process via task manager. Also, I created new mod pack with only several mods - BuildCraft, ThermalExpansion, NEI and, of course, RailCraft - everything worked fine: singleplayer loaded, world generated, all mods worked just great. So, I suggest, there is some conflict with one of the other mods. Can someone give me a hint which mod can cause the problem? And how can I fix this?

P.S. Minecraft version is 1.6.4.

// EDITS

After reading this topic at RailCraft forum I tried to remove GregTech mod and everything worked fine. So, obviously, there is some conflict betwenn GregTech and RailCraft. Any suggestions what exactly can cause the issue and is it possible to make those two mods work together or should I wait next mod update with the fix?

texts: What kinds of explosive environment objects are there and what are their attributes?

texts:
So there are several kinds of explosive objects. Some can be fired at directly and have a specific amount of health (like gas tanks), while cars and trucks can only be damaged indirectly by other area damage effects or missed shots.

I would like to gather some information about the different types of objects, like:

amount of health (HP)
explosive damage (Dmg)
explosive radius/range (ExpRad)
...

1) Does anyone have a detailed overview of the volatile container/tanks etc?

Gas tanks (HP=3, Dmg=3-6(?), Size=1x2, ExpRad=3(?))
Train cargo tanks (HP=7, Dmg=?, Size=2x2(?), ExpRad=1(?))
Gas stations (HP=3, Dmg=?-7(?), Size=1x2, ExpRad=1(?))
Alien container (HP=3, Dmg=?, Size=1x1, ExpRad=1(?))
...

2) Do mission objectives like communication relays do area damage when destroyed?

3) Do vehicles have a specific (hidden) amount of health? How is damage resistance different between different type of vehicles?

Cars
Trucks
Trikes
...

Any insights are welcome.

texts: How do I make hopper to push only one item?

texts:
first of all I know there are some topics on this issue already, but none of them actually answers my question.

Im building a simple trade machine. Lets say you throw 1 iron ingot into the hopper, youll get 1 gold ingot for example from dropper.

Problem is, I followed countless of tutorials for my version Java 1.12.2 and guys seem to get it working. My game is acting diferently for no reason.

I know I need to lock hopper to take only desired currency, in my case, iron ingot. So i need to lock hopper with one stackable item and 4 non-stackable items.

(For example I have from up to down Hopper > hopper > Chest. Now i locked second hopper with 63 iron ingots and 4 swords. When i throw one ingot to the top hopper, it goes through, push one item out of dropper and when i check the locked hopper, its not on 63, its on 61, so it pushed 3 items instead of that one).

So yeah, the problem is, my dropper push 3 items into the chest so person needs to throw 3 ingots to get one in exchange.

Is there ANY way to make it 1 for 1? I dont understand why is my redstone/hopper machines acting differently if Im following tutorials step by step for my version of Minecraft.

Thanks for any advice!

My son just received a used PS3 system from a good friend who had upgraded.  He was playing Call of Duty last night online.  I was watching him play.  Suddenly he got really upset and started going on about the game being hacked.  I just laughed it off because 1) games are always hacked and you just learn to live with it and 2) I didn't fully believe him as he is new to the game and might just be upset that he was getting slaughtered...

And then suddenly...  My son went from a level 7 to level 55 and all of these guns became available.  And all of the players who started low were suddenly at 55.  And then the game got glitchy and things stopped working...

Did my son get hacked?  Is there a way to fix what was done? Is there something that he can do to prevent it from happening?

Thanks.

In the original Diablo, after defeating Diablo (or whenever you feel like it) you can start a new game with the same character retaining your character stats and items. Except that some things do not persist to the new game.

Effects from the Weird shrine
The unique Lightforge mace (according to Jarulf's Guide, this morphs into a different item when you start a New Game)

Are there others?

Note 1: Not sure if there would be differences between single-player and multi-player, but I'm playing single-player.

Note 2: Obviously, available quests, quest status, monsters, dungeon-layout, and whatnot all do not persist to a new game. I am asking specifically about items, item stats, and character stats/spells.

texts: Which multiplayer weapons are available at each rarity level?

texts:
This question is about multiplayer.

I'm not sure which packs I should get. I'm mostly getting Advanced packs so far, so I can get an occasional rare item but focus on ranking up ones I have while still getting enough consumables and boosters.

My main motivation for getting more expensive packs would be if there was a specific thing I wanted to unlock at a higher rarity level.

I can see which classes are available at each rarity level by looking at the character selection screen. I'd like a Human Kineticist, but I'm not going to throw all my credits at the most expensive packs just for the chance of unlocking that alone.

However, I don't think there's an in-game screen showing me all the weapons I might unlock and their rarity levels.

Which weapons are available at each rarity level?

Weapon stats would be nice, but I think they're all available in the single-player campaign, so I should have a decent idea of how each gun works already.

texts: Looking for more detailed explanation concerning SMB flagpole glitch

texts:
In Super Mario Bros, there is a glitch, where a certain set of frame-perfect presses allow you to jump directly into the bottom block of the flagpole at the end of the level. In this article on the Mario Wiki, it describes the glitch as:

The player must jump right next to the block that holds the Flagpole and then jump again. If done correctly, Mario or Luigi will jump onto the flagpole normally, but the flag will remain raised.

The article also provides an animation for reference:

(source: mariowiki.com)

TASVideos describes the glitch as:

Complete the level without lowering the flag by glitching into the base block of the flagpole and touch the flapole from inside. Doing so is faster than lowering the flag. The points you get from the flagpole will be only 100. This trick isn't used in 8-3 of the warped run, since the timer would turn 343 which results in fireworks. The flagpole glitch was originally found by klmz.

Unfortunately, I cannot find a better explanation of how to cause the glitch than either of these articles. Any help on how to trigger this glitch would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to focus on my early game, so I'm planning on playing bot matches up to the 15 minute mark. I'd like to know if there's a console command to view your current gpm or gold collected (or any other scoreboard stats) on screen as you're playing the game.

It's 100% fine for this to only work with sv_cheats on as I only plan on doing this in solo bot games.

texts:
ENB has some extreme functionality (for basic usage) tied to hotkeys, such as "purging" VRAM by pressing F4. Some other functions such as the fps-limiter conflict with the keybinds in a game (can't be easily rebinded) and I would prefer disabling the hotkeys entirely as my ENB build is rather minimalistic (only SSAO and SMAA) and doesn't require any configuration.

On /r/skyrimmods it's said that the hotkeys can be turned off by adding KeyBruteForce=0 to enblocal.ini, but the file doesn't exist on my system, only enbseries.ini does (the same method doesn't work).


texts: Which item drops are available without buying any passes?

texts:
I have finally decided to pick up Counter-Strike GO a few days ago.
I've read up on the item drop system, but am still a bit confused and would love to read a detailed breakdown of which items are available as random drops from the get-go, without buying any of the operations passes.

From what I gather, these items are available from the beginning as drops (on community/VAC secured servers):

Classic cases
eSports cases
Community Skins cases
Weapon skins (is there a list of which ones are dropped as loose skins? I heard StatTrak weapons never become available without opening cases?)
Sticker capsules (but loose stickers are never awarded separately?)

The operations passes only add the specific operations cases and missions to the rewards system for more variety, but does not increase the frequency of drops, correct?
I know you can only receive 3-6 items per week, chances dropping with increased playtime, and resetting once a week.

Apologies for yet another question about the item system, but I can't really find any concise explanation and haven't gotten any drops yet. I'm also debating on whether or not I should buy the passes, or (for the time being) make due with the items that are available from the start.

texts: Can 2 of the same Pokemon with the same CP have different stats?

texts:
I was recently talking with my friend about leveling up Pokemon in Pokemon Go. We weren't exactly sure how Stats work in this game, or other Pokemon games for that matter, but we are curious if the main thing we should look at is CP, or if there are other stats that we should look at, that say could make a CP 150 more powerful than a CP 160 Pokemon?

How should we go about determining which Pokemon is stronger when we have duplicates?

Thanks!


texts: Does buying the Treasure Map cancel the Curse of Darkness Curse?

This item "Reveals all rooms for every floor, including the Secret Room. However, it does not reveal icons."(from the wiki)

Which ability has priority?  The curse or the map?  Will I be able to see the map again?  Or will it be a waste of 15 pennys?


texts: Civ IV Best Production Choice In Specialized Cities?

texts:
When playing Civilization IV and trying to conform to the specialized cities strategy, the situation invariably arises where I have too many military units or run out of buildings that are geared towards the city's specialization (at least until new technologies are discovered). In those cases, I usually pick one of the buildings that don't necessarily belong to the specialized chain until a more appropriate building type comes along. The end result is that usually as we get towards the end of the game, most of the cities have all the buildings that can be built, and it seems like no cities are specialized at all.

My question: Is this a good strategy or does buying a barracks in an economic city or buying a factory in a military city etc... cause problems with the specialized city strategy (i.e. slower production/growth)?  Is it better if I simply switch to gold, research or culture generation until an appropriate building/unit becomes available?

I'm relatively new to the game and this technique works at the lower difficulty levels, but I was wondering if it is an optimal strategy or not.

                                0 kills

texts: How can I replace an Xbox 360 DVD drive?

texts:
I am not entirely certain of the legality of this situation, and just smack me if it's not, but I have had a problem with my xbox 360's disk drive. After reading a number of guides and such I have come to find a few things.

It's possible to replace a drive in the 360.
In order to have the replacement drive work correctly (read: work at all), it must have the same lock code.
In order to have the disk drives share the same lock codes, one method of doing this is to swap one of the internal boards from the broken drive to a new, replacement drive.
There is another method involving getting the lock code itself out of the broken drive and putting it in the working drive. This, by contrast, is done by connecting the drives to a PC and doing something to each of them to transfer the code.

Now, in this whole process, I have already gone so far as to order the replacement drive and rip it apart to try to transfer the board. Much to my surprise, the board in this particular bad drive was non-separate-able from the board. The boards were physically soldered to each end of a wire. I opened the good drive to confirm, and it too was soldered together.

So I was left with #4 up there. After more research, I found that you need SATA cables and a PC that can handle it, plus some software. I haven't really found anything too much more specific than that. However... I did find that the same method to transfer the lock code is also potentially used to make the xbox read burned media... Just, instead of putting in your broken drive's lock code, you put in some pre-prepared file or some such stuff.

I want to make it clear at this point that I do not want the drive to read burned media. What I do want is for the drive to work and play my legitimately purchased games again.

Now, after all that information, my questions are as follows:

Is this method legal?
Second, if it is legal, how would I accomplish this?

Edit: After some talk of this issue the other day, my brother decided that he's just gonna go buy a new one since he doesn't want to wait for me to get mine fixed. So, as if this wasn't a low enough priority already, it's even lower now. I'd still like to get it working if only to have done it once.

texts: When I purchase a game on Xbox Live, will I get a copy on DVD as well?

texts:
Will I get the option to order a "hard copy" (DVD) while buying the game on Xbox Live?

I've only ever purchased live arcade game, not a game you usually buy in the store. You know, something over 1GB.

I want to buy a copy of Dance Central 2, since the family is coming over for new years. And I want to buy it on Xbox Live to save myself a trip to the store, but I want it on DVD for safe keeping. I don't want to have to re-download the game over the net if I reformat the xbox HDD later.

Plus I have fears that somehow I will not have access to it later if Microsoft decides to revamp the Xbox-Live system. They did this with the Windows Media player stores, and we're still trying to get back the music licenses for well over 100 songs that my friends Mom purchased.


texts:
I've created a capture-the-flag style map with command blocks, and I've tried to get rid of all the bugs that were in my map. The only thing that still doesn't work, however, is the scoreboard.

When red team scores a point, it will add a point for them on the scoreboard, but it will also add one for the blue team too, which shouldn't happen.

This also happens vice-versa, so if the blue team were to score, the red team would also score at the same time.

A last example would be that if a potato and an egg were on blue team and a chicken and wolf were on red, if red gets 3 points blue will also get 3 points in the scoreboard display of the red team.

Blue team:

(Blue): Potato 1 (true)
(Blue): Egg 1 (true)
(Red): Chicken 1 (false)
(Red): Wolf 1 (false)

Red team :

(Red): Chicken 3 (true)
(Red): Wolf 3 (true)
(Blue): Potato 3 (false)
(Blue): Egg 3 (false)

EDIT :

Commands for blue:

/scoreboard teams add EquipeBleue
/scoreboard objectives setdisplay list PointsBleu
/scoreboard teams option EquipeBleue color blue
/scoreboard teams option EquipeBleue friendlyfire false
/scoreboard objectives add PointsBleu dummy Points Equipe Bleue
/scoreboard players add @a PointsBleu 1

Commands for red:

/scoreboard teams add EquipeRouge
/scoreboard objectives add PointsRouge dummy Points Equipe Rouge
/scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar PointsRouge
/scoreboard teams option EquipeRouge color red
/scoreboard teams option EquipeRouge friendlyfire false
/scoreboard players add @a PointsRouge 1


texts: How do I improve the performance of my Minecraft server on a local network?

texts:
I run my own Minecraft server on our local network. It has a quadcore AMD Phenom II 955 CPU with 12 gigs of ram. This shouldn't be a bottleneck. The operating system is Windows Server 2012 Enterprise. Our internal network is 1 Gb/s and outgoing is 100 Mb/s down and 10 Mb/s up and around 20-30 ms ping with players.

It is fine with one player. No block lag (when mined blocks don't appear back), lag when walking or anything. When a second player joins, on home network or from somewhere else, block lag and movement lag starts.

I have allocated Java 4 GB of memory and I've set its priority to real time in Windows Task Manager. In case of one or five players, CPU usage stays at somewhat stable 20 % for Java. Why doesn't it take more power to help with the issues? What optimizations could I do?

Possible Duplicate:
  Building Barbarian in Inferno

Someone recently asked about a barbarian build on inferno. The answer given was very detailed and overall pretty solid advice.

I'm curious if there are any Barbarians who are using a different build in inferno than the one stated here: https://gaming.stackexchange.com/a/69553/10991.

To summarize the build is :

Frenzy w/ Triumph
Revenge w/ Provocation
Leap w/ Iron Impact
Ignore Pain w/ Ignorance is Bliss
Wraith of the Beserker w/ Insanity
War Cry w/ Impurity

Are there any builds out that take a different approach to inferno barbarian ? Or is this  the end-all build for Barbarians ?

I ask because the devs really emphasized how they wanted people to use different builds, but it's hard to see how someone could survive without frenzy and revenge.

texts: Minecraft multiplayer: how to get rid of a bunch of ender dragons

texts:
This is a bit embarrassing.

BACKSTORY:  I got griefed recently in my friend's multiplayer server: the offender spawned loads of Ender Dragons which attacked me, and then he kicked me out and banned me.  I've been given access again (and the offender has himself been banned).

Actual question:  I'm now back in creative mode, difficulty=peaceful, carrying on with my building.  But all the Ender Dragons are still hanging around and getting in the way - they're really distracting.  I've tried attacking them with a diamond sword but haven't managed to kill a single one yet.  There must be a command i can type to get rid of them all - is there?

EDIT - i've googled this a bit and a common solution is to do /killall or /killall EnderDragon but the /killall command doesn't seem to be activated on this server.

thanks, Max


texts: What are my options for Xbox Live with a poor Internet connection?

texts:
I work on an oil and gas rig and I have a very poor Internet connection. We use satellite Internet provided by a company called DrillCom. When I connect my Xbox with Ethernet to the DrillCom box, it says on XBL that I have strict NAT.

As far as I know, there's no way for me to open the NAT without talking to the satellite providers, and I'm too low on the totem pole to have the authority to do that. I don't think the strict NAT is my only problem, though. The Internet is just bad in general (takes almost a minute to load pages and email).

I thought about a wireless Internet card from Verizon or AT&T, but we have very poor service on our location (1-2 bars). My question is...what are my options for playing Xbox Live (if any)? Thanks a lot.

texts: Playstation 3 fan noise due to broken sensor?

texts:
I've had a 60GB Playstation 3 model since 2007. It got replaced by Sony because of YLOD a few years back. For as long as I can remember the fans goes up to full-speed whatever the console is doing. The noise is the same if it's playing the latest game or is just in the XMB.

So I decided today that I should open up the machine and remove all the dust. So I opened it up and when I got to the big fan, there were almost no dust at all. I closed it and started it up again and the noise is still there.

Could it be so simple that a heat sensor is broken? The HDD has been replaced a number of times so maybe if there is a heat sensor at the HDD that I can replace? Can that be the problem that causes the fan to go to full-speed and make all that noise?

Currently I'm trying to make a new gamemode but I want the wool that I create with this command:

/execute @e[type=Snowball] ~ ~ ~ /fill ~1 ~1 ~1 ~-1 ~-1 ~-1 wool 5 replace barrier 0

...to disappear after 5 seconds. How can I do that? Also I was wondering if it is possible to change the color of wool when you enter a certain area in a map. So that I can create areas that are themed with a certain color.


texts: How can you track missile damage in Minecraft?

texts: I am building an RPG map for Minecraft and I have a system for rewarding individual XP by tracking the stats of mobs killed.I would also like to award shared XP (via scoreboard) for group kills ,i.e. several players defeating a single target, but currently only melee damage is tracked by the statistic "Damage dealt" so archers and spell casters will not receive credit for dealing ranged damage. Any ideas would be welcome.

texts:
When I first encountered the snails that radiated a poison cloud, they weren't too bad, since they were easily avoidable. However, after floor 10, these poisonous snails have been showing up a lot more frequently, usually in very tight quarters, where I'm forced to just man up and run through the poison cloud, usually getting poisoned in the process.

Is there a better way to handle these snails? For instance, is there any equipment that gives me immunity?


texts: Stupid Invaders sound problem, videos sound changing to French

texts:
The first 3 or 4 videos are in English but all a of a sudden the videos start to change into French. It happens with some conversations too.

I've searched the web for hours, but only found one more person with the same exact problem.

What causes this? How can I fix it?


texts: Is it possible to have multiple Terra Swords?

texts:
For the terra sword I need

Blood Butcherer
Muramasa
Blade of Grass
Fiery Greatsword
True Excalibur
Broken Hero Sword

All swords are craftable but not the Muramasa. That can be found in the dungeon. I faced the problem, that I opened all chests in the dungeon and only found one Muramasa. So it is only possible to find only 1 Muramasa? Or can I farm this sword?


texts:
I tried my best to be the worst dictator in history of Tropico 4.

I set wages for uneducated to 1, high school educated to 2 and college educated to 3.
I built not a single housing building, so everyone was living in shacks except for my soldiers and generals
Not a single church or cathedral
Not a single garbage dump or pollution-reducing edict
I declined every faction demand, except when it was something I would have done anyway
Every criminal got executed without trial

Some positive things I did out of necessity or laziness:

Soldiers and generals got normal wages - I needed a happy military because of unsurprisingly strong rebel activity
My military lived in an army base with military modernization, which gave them proper housing and health care
I had some entertainment, but priced in a way that only the army could afford them
I built one (1) clinic, because critical specialists dieing due to bad health care became a problem
I had proper food supply to prevent important workers from starving
I admit that I had a grade school, high school and college - I needed these to qualify people for my army and some administrative buildings.
I had some police - executing criminals got tedious
Some media buildings because the campaign goals required them. I didn't bother to demolish them after the goals were reached

I was following this strategy in campaign missions 13, 14 and 16 and expected that elections might become problematic, but to my surprise people still kept voting for me. Even though I didn't even bother to have a campaign speech or do election fraud I still got over two thirds of the votes.

What else could I do wrong so I need to actually put in some effort to win an election?


texts: Why was Snake in a coma at the start of the game?

texts:
Spoiler alert for Mission 46 The Man Who Sold The World.

   I know the ending of MGSV that Venom Snake is not the real Big Boss. So now my question is that was the real Big Boss ever in a coma ? If so how did they both wake up at the same time ? If Big Boss was not in a coma then why was Venom Snake in a coma? Or was the coma of Venom Snake induced so that Big Boss can fully recover?

In addition, what was that piece of metal lodged in his skull ?


texts: How can I reduce the number of angry passengers at a stop?

texts: Is it safe to let Piracy build up in systems with Protection, not Suppression?

texts:
In Stellaris, specifically version 2.2 Le Guin, is a nearby starbase's Protection value enough to prevent ill effects from Piracy, or is there a benefit to assigning ships to provide Piracy Suppression as well?

Take this system for instance:

This system isn't being patrolled by any fleets, and no fleets are nearby, so it doesn't have any Piracy Suppression. As a result its Piracy is slowly building up.

But because it's right next door to a fortified border post, this system has a huge amount of Protection - easily enough to dwarf the listed "Max Piracy", and in fact more than the actual value of the trade route. If I understand correctly, that means its full Trade Value will be delivered no matter how much Piracy is allowed to build.

My question is, what do I stand to lose (in terms of events or other effects) from not assigning a fleet to patrol this system?


texts:
I'm using Dolphin Wii emulator for Zelda: TP, but I already completed a lot of the game and I don't have the save so I have to redo loads. I was thinking about jumping ahead by using AR codes to speed up my progress, but being careful, I didn't want to do it unless I knew they wouldn't mess up the game 'Timeline'.

In other words, if I use AR codes to get game items such as the Master sword and hidden skills etc., will it break the game when I'm directed towards getting these items legit (for example, going to the Sacred Grove to get the Master sword)?

texts: Minecraft will not work after Windows 10 installation. Launcher claims game crashed

texts:
Ever since my grandma installed Windows 10 on her computer (the one I want to fix Minecraft on), Minecraft won't go past the launcher screen. I have tried many things such as:

Uninstalling and Re-installing
Deleting the contents of my .minecraft folder
Many other things.

It has been going on ever since about 1.10, and my grandmas computer expert claims that Minecraft isn't compatible with Windows 10 (Which I know is an absolute lie, because with every other computer my dad has installed Windows 10 and Minecraft on they both are perfectly fine together). I have a hard time believing it's the computer itself, because that seems ridiculous. I'm curious as to whether anyone knows: A solution to this, things that might have been installed with it that are not compatible with Minecraft, if something is wrong with my Minecraft, or simply if you just have any ideas that are completely obvious that I've not thought of in the past 2 years.

If you need any more info on this, just tell me and I'll try to do my best to deliver that to you.

texts: Which containers outside of Tundra Homestead are safe?

texts:
This question is specific to the Creation Club content "Tundra Homestead".
There is an external forge and smithing area next to Tundra Homestead.  Here is a 'screen shot' of some of the containers:

I spent a long time away and when I came back, some of the external containers reset (not safe storage, red squares) but some were fine (safe storage, green squares).  I'm now concerned that none of them are actually safe, but I'm not sure what the intent even is now.  I know/understand that the lockbox is safe because all of them are safe storage throughout the game.  However, the rest I am unsure of what the correct expectation should be.  Should I trust none of them (except the lockbox?)  Is this intended behavior of Tundra Homestead or is it a bug? (That may be unanswerable, unless Elanora happens to see this).  I checked the wiki but it says very little about the CC content.
My system is XBox One and I do have mods installed, though none of that should affect this that I'm aware of.


texts: Is it possible to disable camera sway and/or weapon bobbing in Quake 1?

texts:
Upon sorting some of my games into categories on Steam I realised I had the original Quake in my Steam library (bought as part of a Steam sale pack no doubt), and decided to give it a go.

Unfortunately there is something about Quake's bobbing/camera movement which makes me motion sick. I can't stand to play it for more than 5 minutes at a time before I need to take a break. This is a weird phenomenon for me, as I can play every other game fine without feeling this violently ill, including every other FPS I've come across. Even E.T. doesn't make me feel this ill.

Needless to say I've done some research and most people online point their fingers at the camera sway and the weapon movement.

Is there a way to change or otherwise disable or dial down the camera sway/weapon movement? Perhaps a configuration setting/file or even a mod that does this?

Note I'm primarily concerned  with the Steam version (mentioned just in case it's any different from other versions out there).

texts: How to get another player ID for Farmville 2 Country Escape?

texts:
I chose to ask this question here because there doesn't seem to be any way to contact Zynga for this game. The button that's supposed to actually show me the contact options just redirects to a page that tells me what I should be seeing. I have no permissions on the forums despite the email saying that I do. I will appreciate any guidance on how to get official support.

My goal is for my friend and I to be able to play the game each using our own iPads and Facebook accounts. So this is what happened that led me to this problem:

My friend gets the game on his iPad using his Apple ID, plays the game with his Game Center ID but doesn't use Facebook Connect.
I get the game on my iPad using his Apple ID, play the game with my Game Center ID and use Facebook Connect.
Friend decides to use Facebook Connect, but I forgot I was logged in to my Facebook account on his iPad and he clicks the button in the game to connect.
His game connects to my Facebook so now it appears both our farms are tied to my Facebook and every time we try to play our own farms simultaneously the game will constantly ask us to pick between the device farm and the cloud farm.
We restart everything, uninstall, sign out of Facebook and Game Center, and sign in to our respective accounts and reinstall the game.
Now my friend is unable to connect his new farm to his Facebook because it keeps saying it's already connected to another, probably still mine.
It appears we have the same player ID when we check under the Options menu.

So is there any way for us to remedy this situation?


texts: How can I remove arrows stuck in a player?

texts:
When I am shot by an arrow in Minecraft, my avatar now has an arrow sticking out of me which hangs around for a while before disappearing. This is fine right now, but when I am trialing one of my redstone arrow traps, my MC avatar can look a little like this:

Now I don't care about this when in singleplayer, because they don't block my vision when in 1st person. But I'm going to go into multiplayer soon, and having a bunch of arrows in my body will make me look hideous, and I'll be the laughingstock of all my friends if they see my with all these arrows.
I'd like any solution, whether it involves commands or glitches, or some hidden hack that I didn't know of, to get rid of these horrid arrows stuck in my body on my command, or better, to stop them from getting stuck on me in the first place!
Past trials
Could killing the arrow entities work?

texts: Are there shouts/words for shouts that are missable?

texts:
What I mean by missable is, if you miss it the first time you go to the dungeon or location you cannot get it at latter time by revisiting it.
According to
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/191475-the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-special-edition/74676451
Only one, namely storm call, is missable, and that's when you visit sovngrade/heaven or something. Is there another one?
I just revisited Saarthal. I no longer have the amulet and I've heard people having trouble. Yet, I went through the dungeon just fine with no issue at all and got my word wall.
Anything I should watch out so I do not miss any words?
Missable here means you have one, or limited chance to get the word. After that you can't revisit the dungeon to look for it.


texts: What do you need to do to get all of the League Card stars?

texts:
In the Pokémon series starting with Ruby and Sapphire, you get stars placed on your Trainer Card for reaching certain milestones in the game, such as Pokédex completion and entering the Hall of Fame. For the past few generations they have been denoted by background colors and, in (Ultra) Sun and Moon, stamps, but stars return in Sword and Shield. Unlike past games, though, they seem to be more easily obtained. Like the past games, of course, it's not exactly clear what the criteria is to get each star. I have all of the stars so far, but I'm curious as to what the exact criteria is to get them.
What milestones must be reached to get each of the stars on your League Card in Pokémon Sword and Shield?

I would like to know what elements of the game are NOT necessary for a successful city.

Farms I have built and they take up a lot of space, but I am not sure what the contribution is to create a successful city. I usually skip them altogether, and things seem to go fine.

But, do Landmarks really contribute to a city?

I never built streets, skip railways or other monorail/elevated rail type, because they take up too much space.

Or is it really necessary to built all types of zone densities in a city to make it successful?

texts: How to install backup of steam games on Ubuntu

texts:
I've got some games installed on native steam for linux. Unfortunately, my system got nuked and I had to reinstall. While I was reinstalling Ubuntu 15.04, I managed to save some of my game folders to an external disk. I saved them off of ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/<game name>

Now that I have my OS and steam up and running, I'd like to reinstall them without having to download them, since my internet is pretty slow. I started downloading Borderlands 2, so that I would know where to put the files. It started downloading files to ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/downloading

So I made a new directory in ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common and copied all of my game folders over. Then I quit steam and restarted. But now it is still trying to download the files, and it can't launch them. What did I do wrong?


texts:
I am creating a Pokemon Battle simulator and I am looking for information on how the damage that each move deals is specifically calculated. (I know what attack and defense are, I'm looking for formulas.)  This is going to be a basic Gen I type sim, so I don't want to deal with Iv's and Ev's if possible.

Looking for info on what stats correlate with the moves themselves and how this is specifically incorporated with the attack /defense of pokemon.

Also, does Speed directly effect who goes first or does it just increase a percentage?

and also how is the multiplier for the type factor calculated?(Is it always just like 1.5 or 1 or .5, or is it more complicated)

EDIT: I originally said "nature" but I really meant "type"

Additional Questions:

Base stats refer to pokemon at level 50 correct?
Does anyone know where I can find tables of pokemon of gen 1 / their stats
Does anyone know where I can find a list of moves for gen 1
For 2 and 3 if anyone knows of tables that would let me view available moves/stats and pokemon stats by level that'd be AMAZING

It takes me ages to progress through bloodborne anyway and I really want to try an arcane build. I just can't progress through the game with one. It's really difficult and time consuming.

Is there any way to just load in a character on bloodborne? How can I make the game easier for myself to minimise the stupid amount of time it takes to make a build for one weapon?

I want to make a build using the beast cutter but I know I'll have to invest another 20 hours on a new character just to have the stats for it.

Killed Handsome Jack in hopes that "The Warrior's" body will disappear

In Kerbal Space Program, career mode...I am trying to pass fuel from the Rober-bus to the spaceship. I have an engineer working on it and I am trying to attach that yellow external fuel duct to connect both.. so I could transfer fuel...
But seems is not possible (where you see the arrow I click on it, ast it is green, and cannot attach it...)
So my questions are:

How can I attack that yellow fuel duct?
Is there any other way of passing fuel from Rover to Spacechip?

texts: Is it possible to determine if a Pokémon is a powerful encounter?

texts:
I just reached the wild area in Pokémon Sword. In this location, there is a chance to encounter Pokémon that are too high of level and can easily take out your team; nor can be captured. Some of the high leveled Pokémon are obvious, such as 2nd or 3rd stage evolutions. I’ve already had some close encounters with a Haunter and Pelipper.

However, I recently encountered an Onix. Being a 1st staged evolution, and could be caught fairly early in previous games, I figured it would be an easy encounter. To my surprise, it was considered a powerful encounter and I could not capture it.

I also encountered a Nuzleaf. Despite being a 2nd stage evolution, it was not considered a powerful encounter and I was able to capture it without trouble.

Aside from the more obvious Pokémon, is there an easy way to determine if a Pokémon is too high of a level?

On our server I'd like to switch people to adventure when they enter an area, but when they leave it should set them back to the game mode they were in before entering.
So my question is, is it possible to record player information in the scoreboard or a tag for their game mode and then use it later
e.g. tag @s add GameMode=[m]

texts: Accounting for lackluster AI in Raid Battles

texts:
I've been farming the Expert Raid Battles in the most recent event in Dragalia Lost. It isn't uncommon for 1-2 members of my team to be down within the first minute of the battle simply because they didn't move out of the way when Sabnock casts Dark Side.

This is an issue I encountered in the previous Raid Event as well but wasn't quite as frustrated by due to my team's might barely being above the minimum requirement (7800+). My team's might is currently just above 11,0000 (well above the minimum requirement), but I'm still having issues with keeping them alive. It's preventing me from completing all of the Quest Endeavors and simply makes it more difficult to defeat Sabnock.

I haven't been able to find anything in the way of solutions on the internet, just people acknowledging how companion AI is something that could stand to be improved (e.g., here).

Are there any steps I can take to improve my companions' chances of surviving the fight, or am I pretty much at the mercy of the developers on this issue?

texts: What language versions exist for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (PS4)?

texts:
Having a physical blu-ray disc (PS4) in mind: What different language versions of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate exist?

I believe that all different editions (Standard/Rooks/Gold/...) actually share the same disc and the additional content are DLC codes only.

I’ve heard that there is a Russian version, which has menu/voice/subtitles in Russian and English only.

And there is the version for Europe, I believe, having menu/subtitles in English and a bunch of European(?) languages and audio in a couple of European languages.

Who knows what discs exists exactly? What exact languages do they contain (or allow download for... in all regional PSN stores)?
