texts: What factors contributed to E.T's reputation as a bad game?

texts:
According to a documentary on Atari called Game Over it is stated that "ET" is the worst video game ever made.

texts: How do I play Team Fortress 2 with custom monitor refresh rate?

texts:
I managed to create a working custom display resolution using Nvidia control panel. The refresh rate is set to 68Hz instead of the maximum default 60Hz. The OSD (on-screen display) says it's working at 68Hz, but when I launch the game in full screen, it shows 60Hz.

If I change the game window mode to windowed borderless, I get the 68Hz on the OSD, but then there is an added lag due to vertical synchronization being enabled due to windowed mode. How can I play in fullscreen at my custom refresh rate with v-sync off?

texts: Skylanders Trap Team 2-Player Mode Difficulties (Wii U)

texts:
Lately I am having issues getting my son's game to allow a second player in Skylanders Trap Team (Wii U version). My controllers work (no low batteries or anything), are synced to the system properly (work in all other games), and have working nunchuks (also work in other games) and are properly attached before loading the game. If I'm in the home menu of the Wii U, the controller works, but when I load up the game, it disconnects and reconnects the controllers. The first one will light up/work, but the second will blink but not ever register as "2nd player". This happens regardless of which of my 4 controllers I use (2 are non-motion plus, 2 do have motion plus). If I try a second time changing the first to second, the one that clicks as "first" will work, the second will not. I cannot put another Skylander on the portal without "too many Skylanders on the portal" warning because the controller won't register itself as the second player beforehand.

I've tried exiting the game, restarting the game, restarting the whole system, I've switched nunchuks to other controllers - nothing seems to work. I recall having something similar happen with the Giants version, but exiting the game and going back in had always fixed it - now I'm stumped. Any ideas, anyone?

Thank you for any advice/suggestions,

A Stumped Skylander Mom


texts: How can I maximize my FOB's farmability?

texts:
If someone invades my FOB, I stand to lose far less than they stand to gain. I can only lose easily-farmed resources, easily-replaced guards, and the staff who weren't worth putting on direct contract. The invader can receive S++ rank volunteers, a prize far more valuable than the cost to either of us.

To give more people more S++ rank troops, I would gladly set all my platforms to zero security, but it looks like a recent change has made it so only really-high-security bases can give S++ rank volunteers. Thus, I need to weaken myself in a more sophisticated way.

How can I maximize my chances of losing FOB invasions, without getting the reward soldiers for invading me capped at S-rank? Are non-lethal defenses easier to breach than lethal? What weapon range sucks hardest? And can I use Key Security Zones to cluster my troops out of an invader's way?

I can hear my fan spinning up each time the game gets choppy.

It does this regardless of the quality I have it set to. When it is not doing the back and forth choppiness thing, I can play it Maximum settings at around 40 fps. When I play it on minimum I can get more like 60 fps, but in either case, it sometimes get choppy (it gets choppy for about 1-2 seconds then goes back to playing well and it might do this every 10-15 seconds).

Any idea what is causing this intermittent low in fps? It is not anything in-game since I am sitting in a town crafting and not doing anything intensive. Is this a heating issue? Is it RAM related? What do you guys think and how can I troubleshoot this to figure out what is causing this?

texts:
Playing vs Terran I was often attacked by Hellbat drops. Usually that was so painful. These Hellbats kill SCVs quickly. Even if those guys are running away, the Hellbats are transported by boosted Medivacs, and it is barely defendable unless protected for in advance: scouted drop, prepared bunker in mineral line, etc...

Now I play Terran myself and found out that Hellbat drops are pretty hard to execute:

They need to be micromanaged properly. (e.g. instead of killing workers they start killing structures/Queens, other stuff...)
Enemy workers are moved out, and even if Hellbats are microed properly they don't kill much as Medivacs are killed by Queens/Marines/Stalkers...

I'm frustrated... things that looked so dangerous against me don't really work now for me...

Could you please recommend the instructions or reference some guide how to execute Hellbat drops properly?

Thank you very much in advance.


texts: How do I use the Round weapon in Space Invaders Infinity Gene effectively?

texts:
I am having difficulty getting the hang of the Round weapon in Space Invaders Infinity Gene. While the "bullet eating" effect is handy, I'm not sure how best to use it in general because of the way the bullets shoot from behind the ship. If I want to shoot an enemy coming from the upper left of the screen, I have to move my ship towards the bottom right in order to shoot it. Should I just be constantly moving my ship in a little circle? Is it just a matter of practice and fine-tuning? What am I missing here?

I'm playing the PSN version, so I'm using the joystick controls on the PS3 controller, not the iPhone version, where you can use touch, if that makes any difference.

texts: Is there any workaround for losing focus on popups?

texts:
I like to get rid of invaders by suffocating them in closed rooms. Sometimes this goes wrong and I need to move my crew so they don't die.

But I've lost several of my crewmen because sometimes messages pops up about the enemy is charging its FTL drive or some such when they are selected. After that the focus on the previous selected crew members is lost, and I have to find and select them again. What sometimes is hard because they actually are positioned in a way, I would have to select others as well which had to stay where they are or I have to save my crew one by one. This costs time in an situation where every moment is important, and it starts annoying me because this made me already lose a few well equipped games.

So as the title says:

Is there any workaround for loosing focus of selected crew members in case a informal message pops up?

texts:
btw, "Impossible" is not an answer. This just shows you aren't thinking outside the box.
With that said, here's the question:

So, what I want to do is make a "ghost" or "floating" sign. Something that looks like this:

However, it's not as easy as that, since I've cheated and went ahead and used a Barrier Block:

What I want to do however, is make a true "ghost" or "floating" sign; one that does not need to rest on any sort of block as you cannot walk through that (unless it's water*, lava* or other signs).

It's possible to do so using WorldEdit by selecting a region and then doing //set wall_sign. However, this sign is rather blank.

*You can't rest a sign against any liquids anyway.

I remembered there was a trick that you could use to delete/add/modify blocks without triggering a block update (which is what causes a sign to break when it has no resting block). Any ideas?

You're free to use any server plugin (existing or a pointer in coding a new one) or a vanilla method. Just pop minecraft: to the front of your command... So /tp is now /minecraft:tp.

Bonus points if you can figure out a way that allows multiple signs side-by-side.

My fiancé and I recently bought a WiiU and bought Mario Kart 8.  While playing, I use the WiiU's gamepad that has a screen on it and she uses a gamepad plugged into a wii-mote.

The question I have is, is there a way to tell Mario Kart to only show me on the WiiU game pad and to show my fiancé on the tv?  This way we can both utilize the entire screen that we're using.

texts: What is maximum capacity of SD Card which PSP Street E1004 supports?

texts:
I bought a few days ago PSP Street E1004. I realize that it is quite a poor version of Sony's portable console, but I read specifications and most of the things that were removed in it are unnecessary for me (except Wi-Fi, but I can realize how bad it will be working in current times).
I bought a console with an SD card with a capacity of 8GB. I thought that it will be sufficient for my requirements, but I quite fast saw that it would be great to have a few gigabytes of space more.
So my question is - how big an SD card can I apply into my PSP, to be sure that it will be compatibly with it and - what's the most important - will be working perfectly? I thought about 64GB, but I am not sure, that such a big capacity will be working with that so old device.
Also, there is a second question - do various versions of PSP have different limits of external memory size?

texts: How to check overextension of my subject nations?

texts:
Playing as Great Britain, I managed to form the Thirteen Colonies in North America relatively early. With my permanent casus belli against primitives and superior military technology, I quickly subjugated several native tribes. Their provinces became a part of the Thirteen Colonies, and I was pleased to watch my subject grow and prosper.

...A few months later I noticed large rebel stacks in all of the recently conquered provinces, which eventually broke the nation, freed the tribes, and generally undid all my hard work. Turns out, I'd conquered too much, too quickly and the Thirteen Colonies, with over 100% overextension, had triggered some rather nasty events.

In future, it would be useful to know the overextension of my subjects ahead of time, so I know whether I should be going to war, or giving them some time to core their newfound holdings.

Is there a way to check the overextension of my subject nations?


texts: Is the Guild Tribute Chest a safe storage

texts:
I know that The Skyrim manual states:

  WARNING! Do not leave things in containers you do not own! They may not be there when you come back for them. Buying a house is one way of own containers.

After the thieves guild quest, and side quests, to become guild master I have a key to the tribute chest so I guess I own it.  But that chest resets with tribute

My questions are is it safe to store stuff in the tribute chest?  How about the bed chest, which have been empty since I raided them the first day at the thieves guild? What did you expect, I am thief.

The reason I ask is because I have about 30-50k in potions I just made and the members of the guild seem to be the largest source of vendors with coin.


texts: Is there a difference between "Expansion Pack" and "Downloadable Content"?

texts:
Many years back, before the term "downloadable content" was born, when game developers released new content and functionality for their existing games they called it an "expansion pack". This was generally sold in a box from a store, just like the original game, and required the original game to play - very much like downloadable content.

Now, the term "expansion pack" is not something that I see very often, if at all. Instead, everything seems to be called "downloadable content", is very rarely available in a box from a store, and is normally distributed over the internet through some form of digital library system like Steam, or from the developer directly.

I feel this is more than simply "what marketing chose to call it", Blizzard for example never call their new WoW content "downloadable content", even though each of them is automatically downloaded via their launcher - but instead always call them "expansion packs".

Case in point, during some discussion about future content for Skyrim (from some time ago now, since Skyrim has been out for more than a year already), Todd Howard at Bethesda is quoted stating the following;

  "For Fallout 3 we did five DLCs," Howard told me during an interview last week at the DICE Summit. "That was a very aggressive path for us. Our plan now is to take more time, to have more meat on them [for Skyrim]. They'll feel closer to an expansion pack."

bold = my emphasis

What is the difference between an "expansion pack" and "downloadable content", or are they essentially the same thing with a decade of evolution on what we call them?

texts: Can dwarves who worship one deity pray at another deity's temple?

texts:
In the current version of Dwarf Fortress (0.47.4), you can build temples to deities in your fortress in Fortress Mode, and dwarves will go there to pray to their various gods and deities and receive the positive "enraptured" thought. You can designate a temple for a specific god, or just a general temple not dedicated to any specific god, so that presumably all dwarves can pray there regardless of their deity.
However, I'm curious if dwarves who are part of one religion are able to worship in the temple of a different deity. I've never observed this happening in my own fortresses - i.e. when I dedicate a temple to a god of death (for very valid reasons), only the death worshippers will go there to pray as far as I can tell. So usually I just make one general temple that suits everyone, but sometimes I wonder if I need to make a bunch of temples, each dedicated to one specific god, to make everybody happy.
The wiki doesn't really clear this up, and the Temple page only states:

If you read the thoughts of certain dwarves, you can note that some have been "unable to pray to (x deity)". If you designate a temple to that specific deity, they will then go pray or meditate with purple text and satisfy their religious needs. This mechanic needs more research. In some cases a dwarf who worships multiple deities may not ever pray to them all. Using burrows to force these dwarves to pray only in generic temples will usually make them eventually (sequentially) satisfy all their needs to pray, given no other tasks.

Similarly, there is this forum thread that discusses how temples work, but it doesn't answer the question fully either.
So, can dwarves who worship one deity successfully pray at another deity's temple? Or do they absolutely, positively need to have their own god's temple or a generic temple available?

texts: Under what conditions might gold be flagged as stolen

texts:
Let's settle this once and for all.  I personally have witnessed my gold (or, at least, some of it) being marked as stolen in my inventory in the past.  I've seen several comments around here from people who claim the same.  Though none of us can yet explain it, I believe there's no longer any point in arguing that it does happen.

Also, if you'll pardon the quality, I do have an image to share of one of my current characters' gold in the inventory screen.  I still don't know how this happened, but this does demonstrate that at least some of her gold is in fact marked Stolen.  This was taken with my camera-phone.

However, some people still claim that gold cannot be flagged as stolen property.  They even cite the venerable UESP as a source for this: "Gold is considered completely fungible in-game, and will never be marked stolen, or confiscated if you are apprehended by the guard."

So, I'd like us to settle this here now.  For anyone with the time and will to play-test this, please document your findings here.  I'm going to post mine below.  I've not been able to reproduce the phenomenon so far, but I'm not inclined to give up because I know it can happen.

Good luck.

P.S.:  If anyone's got a clue as to what may be causing this, but has not play-tested it yet, please feel free to mention your ideas in comments.

P.P.S:  For the record, after I decided to take a break from play-testing this, I loaded up one of my other characters to play for awhile and found that she currently has some stolen gold on her.  How much of the gold is actually marked stolen, I'm not inclined to figure out right now.  Dropping small bits from a stack of more than 100,000 isn't exactly a user-friendly process on the PS3.

P.P.P.S:  Since the comment-discussions here have gotten a bit long I've created a Skyrim Play-Testing chat room, where we can continue working on this issue without further bloating this thread.  If you do participate there, please make sure that any details which may be relevant to future readers of this thread get posted to the Q&A or comments here.

texts: How can I make this checkpoint system work in multiplayer? Minecraft 1.9

texts: I have a checkpoint system in Minecraft 1.9 that detects a when a player is standing on a certain block, and then summons an armorstand where they are. If they step on a different kind of block, it teleports the player back to the armorstand. The problem is that this only works in single player. If there are 2 players, they will both keep setting checkpoints for each other, and it will become chaotic pretty fast. How can I make this work in multiplayer? PS: I have already tried naming armorstands after players, but you can't put selectors in the customname tag. I tried using scoreboards also, but I'm not so clear on how to use them, so I'm not sure if I'm going about it in the right way.

I'm trying to install & update Bethesda Launcher on Windows 7 x32. Every time I run it, it fails, stating

  There was an error downloading the required files. Please check install directory permissions and try again.

Actions I'd taken so far:

By monitoring it with SysInternals Process Monitor, I see that it doesn't even try to access the Internet.
With the same tool I am also able to see that it receives no FAILED result when accessing files.
Turned off and removed my AV.
Given full access to my user, Administrators group & TrustedInstaller.
UPDATE Checked so that no file in it's installation directory is marked as read-only.
UPDATE 2 It is of course run as administrator.
UPDATE 3 Installation in other directories leads to same results.

I also have Internet access only via proxy server on that PC. It is set as both IE proxy and winhttp system-wide proxy. I suspected that that could be the root of my problem, but as I've already said it doesn't even try to access the Internet.

I haven't played much at all prior to the update so I have no way to compare features either.


texts: What formulas are used to calculate sight adjustments in ArmA 2 ACE2 Mod?

texts:
The Question

A friend and I recently began sniping in ACE and we can't seem to work out a proper formula to calculate windage and elavation adjustments. We've tried the One Shot One Kill Android app, but it, unfortunately, only supports a few guns and rounds to 1/.5/.25 MOAs.

We've also worked out a method for calculating the adjustments ourselves, but it's proven inaccurate. Our current method is as follows:

To estimate elevation, the spotter paints the target with the range finder, relays the distance to sniper, and then he adjusts for elevation using the range tables built into ACE.

To estimate windage, we use the formula Distance / Muzzle Velocity * Crosswind m/s = Windage MOAs where the scope is adjusted opposite the direction of the wind. The spotter usually does this calculation as he's the only one equipped with a kestrel and range finder and, depending on the stability of the wind, the windage adjustmant may need to be predicted ahead of time or recalculated in order to pull off a precise shot.

So far this method has proven accurate at about 1000 meters. Usually we can aim center mass and hit the target within the first shot. Unfortunately, at greater distances (1500-2000 meters) this method has proven inaccurate as it fails to account for elevation.

My question now is, are there any better methods for calculating sight adjustments in ACE? We've watched the tutorials, read the wikis, and poured through threads, but we can't seem to find much on the subject at all that doesn't involve largely inaccurate/unacceptable guesswork.

Notes

For the purposes of these missions, we have the following items at our disposal:

Sniper may use any NATO sniper rifle as long as it has a mil-dot scope and we know the muzzle velocity value
Kestrel (can be used to find crosswind and headwind in meters per second along with altitude)
Range Finder
Dagr (can be used in conjunction with the range finder to find elevation, target distance, and target elevation)
Spotter Scope (seemingly useless as you can't lase the target with it to find range)

We have the following values at our disposal, but don't know if all are pertinent:

Muzzle Velocity
Elevation
Target Elevation
Target Distance
CrossWind Speed m/s
Headwind Speed m/s
Tailwind Speed m/s
Wind Angle (in increments of 30 degrees)
Altitude


texts: What gives higher experience in smithing?

texts:
In previous Elder Scrolls games, weapons and armour would have their quality degrade and you would have to repair it with the Armorer skill to fix it. This provided a constant stream of experience which made reaching level 100 Armorer quite natural.

In contrast, Skyrim does not have weapon or armour condition ratings, and the only way to advance Smithing is through creating and improving vast amounts of new equipment. From a roleplaying perspective, this can seem a little contrived. I would like to know the following:

Does crafting higher-level equipment (Dwemer vs Iron, for example) carry a significantly higher experience reward than lower-level equipment?
Does crafting higher-cost (more bars, leather) equipment have a significantly higher experience reward, or at least has an experience reward equal to crafting an equivalent number of lower-cost equipment, such as daggers?
Does smelting bars of higher-level metals such as ebony carry a significantly higher experience reward to lower-level metals, such as iron?

By "significantly", I mean orders of magnitude, like iron being 1.0x and ebony being 5.0x, rather than slightly better, such as iron being 1.0x and ebony being 1.5x.

I've never touched MoP but I was going to give it a whirl a couple days ago when I noticed I was banned. Went thru the process of getting it fixed and now I'm level 88 with (only?) 8k gold and old gear still.

I don't know if I can tank (warrior): I still have ZA/ZG 'epics' and my non-tank gear is still ruthless stuff.

I was, for some reason, in a WoTLK map when I logged in so I don't know where to go. Where should I level at 88 and is the tank gear I have, gold I have decent to run thru the new dungeons?

I'd like to not make anyone mad, ha.

I'm exactly two counties away from being able to declare myself Emperor of Britannia. I have a stack of courtiers and other nobles with claims on various bits of English real estate, including several claims on duchies, which I've verified through looking at the claimants for titles.

Unfortunately, I can't go to war against the King of Scotland for any duchies that he has; instead, I have a pile of excuses to go to war over various single counties. I've snipped off duchies before, and I distinctly remember having my choice of duchies to fight over the last time I went to war, but suddenly I'm no longer able to. What changed?

(Note: I have 46 Casus Belli against Scotland. About six of them are about a duchy with a single county in it. Have I run out of Casus Belli?)

At the end of the Boss fight with Dominus Ghaul, he becomes a giant form of liquid gold light; he then turns to the Traveler as blue lines start to form and crack under the shield the Red Legion used to trap it, and that same shield is broken by the traveler.

Ghaul then says "You do see me..." as the traveler explodes and a wave of its blue light shoots out into the galaxy with itself as the center. This is the same blue energy that can be found on Io.

What is the traveler doing here? It's never really explained in the story, but it's visible from the tower for the rest of the game.


texts: How do I get to bosses relatively intact?

texts:
I've been having some trouble with getting to bosses unhurt, more importantly with the majority of my TP. I try just auto-attacking everything, but invariably I run up against annoying combos that force me to use special attacks just to kill everything quickly before it gets me. This leaves me to face the boss of the dungeon with half of my TP remaining, which is more than annoying.

I try finding shortcuts so I don't have to fight as many monsters on my way to the boss, but this seems to help only marginally. I hesistate to bring consumables, as they not only take up valuable space for drops but they would prohibitively expensive. What do I do?


texts: Efficiently laying track: diagonally or straight w/ one turn?

Because of how Minecraft's block measurement system operates is it more efficient to lay track (rails) diagonally or along the axes ( i. e. from start to finish, lay all track for x direction, then all track in z direction). Looking for both efficient use of materials and efficient use of minecart inertia/speed ( I know that long diagonals sap speed rather quickly).

If possible, factor the mod Railcraft into your answer, please.

The backstab is a guaranteed critical hit from behind for 600% of your maximum health.

So if where a tree would normally generate is now underwater then the tree would no longer be there, additionally it would make beaches at the new water level rather than at the 63 block height.

texts:
I downloaded the Bioshock Infinite 60-minute trial from the PlayStation Store. It contains the full game but the download was about 6 GB. I might buy the full game off PSN but I'm not going to pay full price (which is really just an unlock license for the trial) for a game with compressed video and textures.

Can anybody with a downloaded copy and disc copy tell me if PSN titles are compressed? Spec Ops: The Line, which I downloaded, looks down right awful at times.

Note: I'm aware the titles are probably losslessly compressed (eg: (7)zip, gzip, etc) and then extracted, but I'm referring to lossy compression made to the game's resources.

texts: How can I prevent my partner from taking damage?

texts:
Controlling two characters on two different screens in real-time is definitely a challenge, and while I don't find myself dying all too often, I am having quite a difficult time helping my partner on the top screen avoid damage.

While avoiding attacks with Neku on the bottom screen is fairly straightforward (you run away from danger and/or dodge with a skillful drag of the stylus), I have absolutely no idea how something similar can be done on the top screen. As far as I can tell so far (I haven't gotten too far in the game) my only means of controlling the top-screen character is by attacking with one of three different combos using the d-pad.

Is there any way to avoid damage on the top screen other than guessing which noise is about to attack next and dealing out a preemptive strike (a technique I don't consider overly reliable)? If that's my only option, how do I pick which noise to attack when there is more than one of them on either of my sides?


texts: How to get Poker Night at the Inventory's "Slow Play" achievement?

texts:
I have been playing Poker Night at the Inventory for some six hours now, and I cannot figure out how to get the Slow Play achievement.  The description, "Check a pat hand" is vague to say the least.  I've looked into pat hands but can't find any true definition in relation to Texas hold'em.  Also, how iron-clad is the "check" part of that statement.  Would calling another player's bet count, or not?  All-in-all, some real rules around this achievement would be great, not hearsay.

Update from 10/15/2014 play

I was playing last night with pocket 9 and K of hearts.  I called.  On the flop a 3, 4, and J of hearts was dealt.  Max bet $2,300 or so and I called.  No achievement.


texts:
After excavating in a few threat level 1-6 worlds, I've found a single piece of gold ore. I have no way of knowing just how far down I've been digging but It feels like quite a ways down, in fact most of my deaths underground are falling down long unlit tunnels.

So far all of my gold+ ores have been found in random dungeon(?) chests. Though dungeons are quite hard to come by and if I die in one it takes way too long to run back to them.

Do I just need to keep digging? Does the threat level have anything to do with ore quality? Can higher tier ores be found on every planet if you dig deep enough?


texts: Beds/Defenses keep "disappearing" when not in the settlement

texts:
Recently, I've had an issue in Sanctuary where certain resources "disappear". By this, I mean they aren't being counted when viewing them in the Pip-Boy's "Workshop" tab.

Typically, I start exploring/questing by emptying junk and gear I won't use in Sanctuary and fast travelling out. While out, I'll occasionally check the Workshop tab to make sure none have the exclamation point that signifies some attention needs to be given. The last couple of days, Sanctuary has been constantly lit up with the "!" icon. Most commonly, it shows that there are zero beds and/or defenses (or less than there are actually are... It might show that I have 4 beds when there are actually 16).

Upon returning to Sanctuary and going into Workshop Mode, everything looks right. All beds and defenses are accounted for, happiness starts to rise again. But when I leave, happiness starts to drop again because of "lack" of beds/defenses.

This may be unrelated, but Sanctuary is my "main base". Meaning, I always go there to unload junk and store weapons/armor/aid in the Workbench, trying to keep everything available in one place.

Has anyone ran across a similar issue? Is there any solution to this?


texts: What are the chances of a critical capture?

texts:
In the main series of Pokémon games, since Generation V, there has been a mechanic related to capturing Pokémon called a "critical capture." When you get a critical capture, the thrown ball will make a distinct whistling sound, fall to the ground, then shake only once to determine whether the Pokémon is captured or escapes. This greatly increases one's chances of successfully capturing a Pokémon during an encounter.

As mentioned in my answer to this question, the critical capture mechanic has been implemented in Pokémon Go as of version 0.57.2 for Android and 1.27.2 for iOS.

What is the likelihood of getting a critical capture during a Pokémon encounter? Is it affected by anything such as badges earned or species caught (similar to the main series)?

Is this a glitch or is it actually Mac compatible?

There is an install button.

Update:
Appears to be a glitch in Steam. After clicking download, nothing downloads and the button converts to a Play button. At this point, it fails with a "no executable found" error, so it appears to be a glitch in Steam.

My 82 years old king of a small kingdom got invaded by 8 years old nord king upstart.

I managed to defeat invader, killed all his troops, and "took over" all of his counties in the sense that I defeated defenders of every holding. All counties are now stripe-colored, and holdings have "under new administration icon".... except I can't have those counties.

If I "offer peace" there is no option take over counties or get any land. His casus belli was contesting one of my counties. He lost, so he didn't get it.

So... what now? Can I grab a bit of his land as a punishment for attacking me, or should I just end the war to cut the expenses? I don't see any option to actually get any land.

Or if I keep the war going for 10 years (I control everything, so he doesn't even spawn troops now) so the "under new administration" icon hopefully disappears, do I get those lands?

Advice?

My PS3 Slim CECH-2501a was having some trouble, I think with overheating, so I popped it open with the help of ifixit's tutorial and cleaned it. After putting it back together however, I started having some problems. At first it gave me the red light indicating it was getting power, but not active. If I pushed the power button it would flicker green then go out completely.

Pulling the PSU to ensure everything was properly plugged in, it was, I put the PSU back and tried again. It turned on this time. I figured the problem was gone, so I unplugged it and put the screws I hadn't bothered with back in, specifically the torx security screws. Then the problem reappeared. Agitated I removed the torx screws and tried again, figuring I didn't care if they were out if my system worked, but it didn't do anything one way or another. A bit of online research and I decided to ensure my fingerprint oils hadn't gotten on the ribbon contacts, so I gently wiped a q-tip with alcohol over them to clean them.

That didn't work either. So I went on ifixit's Q/A site to get an answer. Only got one response, someone suggesting the YLOD, but that doesn't make sense because it's not giving my a yellow light at all.

Please help me fix my PS3.

Update: Got a new PSU and installed it, new PSU had the same problem. Leaves me to wonder if I might be somehow putting the PSU in incorrectly.


texts: Invisibility Cloak unexpected interactions

texts:
In the recent ext-327 game, a Furie with an Invisibility Cloak successfully protected another Coven member at night from an Omega Wolf kill, and the Furie did not get killed whilst visiting the other Coven member.  Whilst the Invis Cloak stops others from observing your visits, why did the Omega wolf not kill the visiting Furie?  I didn't realise Invis Cloaks could stop you from getting killed.   Could the OW just not see the Furie to kill them?

A similar unexpected interaction was observed in a previous game where a Beholder was unable to 'see' what the targeted Seer with Invis Cloak saw that night, whereas you would have thought they should have seen what the Seer saw from inside the cloak, as it were!

Are there guidelines for how we should view the Invis Cloak and its interactions?

I remember reading somewhere that mobs will only spawn with a certain range of the player, but I don't remember exactly what it was. I don't want things like drowned to spawn in the water, because it will count towards the mob cap and decrease the amount of mobs that spawn in the farm. So, how high up should you be so that the mobs will spawn in the farm, but not in the ocean?


texts: What bonuses do you receive when attacking from high ground?

texts:
Question 1:
What is the amount of damage increase if your forces are attacking from high ground?

Question 2:
Do "2 high ground levels" give any benefit compared to '1 high ground level'? Sometimes your base is on the high ground and it exits onto the natural (that is actually on the 'neutral' level). The exit from the natural leads to 'low ground'. So comparing high ground to 'low-ground' you have double level of difference. Does this give any additional benefits?

Question 3:
Does a Colossus receive a bonus when it is shooting from high-ground?


texts: Employees randomly drown themselves in nearby lake

texts:
I'm playing RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe and I already observed it twice that a mechanic drowned in the lake. It happened in two different parks, in both cases there was a path and a rollercoaster station along the coast. I couldn't tell where exactly the mechanics drowned since I only got alerted by a red notification "mechanic # has drowned!" when they already were gone.

How and why does that happen?


texts: How to force field properly? In particular in PvZ?

texts:
I don't have enough practice as Protoss, and playing often had situations when opponent retreats... and I can't catch him. That happens:

vs zergs: lings just go back
terran: marines/marauders kite zealots
protoss: ... don't happen often vs protoss, but still some stalkers run away when I could catch them with zealots...

Ok, I've seen how people make a forcefields line and catch however trying to escaps: lings, roaches, zealots, etc...

I tried to do the same, but it looks like I'm doing something wrong. Usually in early game my composition is stalkers+zealots+sentries. And if I make a FF line my zealots can kill caught units... but then a new problem appears: once zealots come to kill those guys, they in turn become in a range of opponent units... and are killed. As a result there is not much value to making a FF line...

Probably I should not get much zealots when I build FF line?
Or may be FF makes sense only if I have MORE army...?

Could you please recommend good guidelines how to play with sentries and/or use FF properly?

Thank you.

P.S. Those materials that I've seen have just general information and don't help me a lot.


texts: Is there a bug causing Emperor Palpatine mission to not register?

texts:
I have a mission stating to "Have 5 Bitizen(s) move in". I have built 2 residential levels, the first one I allowed the slots to fill in gradually/naturally. Once all five bitizens moved in I checked the mission and it didn't register as finished. The second residential level I had used one of my saved VIP's (the Recruiting officer) and filled up the lvl instantly but to no avail. The mission is still not recognizing at finished and requires 5 Bux to skip, which I really do not want to use up if at all possible.

Does anyone know why this is happening and if there is a way to fix it?

texts: What rewards do you get for playing an Ultimate Team game in Madden 12?

texts:
I'm not great at Madden (I play on All-Pro with decent teams, struggle against humans but can beat the CPU pretty regularly), and even with the returning-veteran bonus I got from playing MUT in Madden 10, I don't have a lot of coins.

I'm trying to save up for a decent pack (to boost my team enough that I don't have to play the Cardinals every game), so I'm curious to know what my best options are in CPU play with respect to difficulty level and quarter length. Obviously a longer game gives me more time to rack up offensive stats, but that allows the AI to take away my defensive stats ... but what exactly do those stats give me, and what should I be trying to do in-game to maximize my return?


texts: Strange Behavior 2013 PS3 Game: Black, Horizontal "Bar-Code" Lines...Mixed Signals? Old Game and HDTV?

texts:
Does anyone know why this behavior occurs? On starting this PS3 game ("Tomb Raider", released 2013), there are screen flashes and black, horizontal "bar code"-like lines that appear right as the credits and title screen begin. The behavior may be seen here, until about 19s mark:

I managed to capture a split-second of it here:

I purchased a used, refurbished PS3 and this "Greatest Hits" game through Amazon recently and was disheartened to see this flashing behavior at the outset. My equipment is the following: PS3 Super-Slim, and Toshiba Fire TV 49.5 HDTV 4K, model 50LF621U19. On the jewel case, the game notes "HD Video Output: 480p, 720p". Other PS3 games seem to work just fine with this setup, although they appear to include "HD Video Output: 720p, 1080i, 1080p" or some such combination on the back of the jewel case. I have tried setting my PS3 to output only 720p (and also 1080p, 1080i, etc.) but no luck.
I've done a lot of research on this topic so far (although I am new to it) and since I haven't found an answer I thought I would post (I'm new here, too). Is this because an older game is attempted to be played on a much newer TV? I can't adjust my TV's resolution down to 720p; it seems the lower-bound is 1080p, so maybe it has to do with a mis-match in the signals.
Is there any way to fix this?  On the other hand, is this an intentional design choice by the developers?


texts: Help with installing Minecraft Mods on a Mac

texts:
Having problems with mods not appearing in Minecraft on Mac OSX 10.8.5.

I have installed Forge and the 'Mods' button appears OK under the 'Multiplayer' button in Minecraft.

I have downloaded some Mods and placed them into the ~Library/Application Support/minecraft/Mods folder.

I have tried removing the META-INF folder from the Minecraft folder.

In Minecraft, I have created and saved new profiles for Forge 1.6.4 and Forge 1.7.2

But when the game loads only the 3 default mods appear in the Mod List:
a) Minecraft Coder Pack
b) Forge Mod Loader
c) Minecraft Forge.

No child mods.

None of my downloaded mods appear!!

I have read forums, watched videos, tried everything I can think of.

If you know how to do this on a Mac, I would really appreciate your help. Thanks.

I have also tried all the steps listed on the duplicate link below.
But this hasn't worked either.
I am new here and don't have a 50 reputation to be able to comment on this thread.
Also the question was asked two years ago, and wondering if the advice will still work for the latest versions of Minecraft and Forge?

How do you install Minecraft mods on a Mac?
1. Download the .ZIP file
2. Extract it to some directory.
3. Go to the directory you just created.
4. Open a new Window
5. Go to ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/bin
6. Look for a file called minecraft.jar
7. Rename that file to minecraft.jar.zip
8. Unzip it
9. Drag all files ending with .CLASS into the minecraft.jar FOLDER
10. Delete the META-INF folder.
You're done!

texts: Minetracks and Redstone - preventing the track from fixing itself

texts:
This is my current minetrack setup. The red marked part is supposed to go up, such that it works as a booster.

Other than wiring a different way, is it possible to prevent that behaviour?

texts: Can I cancel just one Battle Menu order?

texts:
While in combat, I can open the Battle Menu by pressing +, and then issue orders to my party. This is handy for various situations, such as using the "Keep you tension up!" order when I want to be using a lot of Overdrive.

However, sometimes I want to cancel an order. I know using the "Do as you please!" order will reset my party members back to the default combat strategy, but that will remove all orders I've sent.

My question is, is it possible to cancel just one order at a time from the Battle Menu?

For example, I may have used "Concentrate fire!", "Use melee attacks!" and "Keep your tension up!", but then want my party to go back to standard melee and ranged fighting (i.e. revert the "Use melee attacks!" order). Do I really have to issue "Do as you please!" and then reissue "Concentrate fire!" and "Keep you tension up!" every time? It becomes particularly tedious doing that almost every single battle.

Unfortunately the in game manual has very little information on the Battle Menu. All it states is:

  Order Companion: Order your party members to follow certain tactical plans.

  Press ZL/ZR to toggle which party member you're issuing the order to.


texts: Can you purchase Civilization V via retail and add to your Steam account? (Semi Duplicate)

texts:
I'm looking at purchasing Civilization V sometime either today or tomorrow but was wondering if it can be added to my Steam account if store bought. I have really slow internet so would rather use a CD to install a game rather than downloading, although I'd really like to have the game on my Steam account.

There is a part in the file that mentions has the words MVBMP2 and Viewer in close proximity, but if that was a thing, it is long gone now and only useless sites mentioning a DLL can be found anymore.

Further, in the file there is also a list of room names and one of them mentions both Hall of Order and Succession and Hall of Order and Succession: "Easter Egg". I can’t find anything special about that room (with the sliding number-puzzle).

Does anybody know what the file is for or how to use it. Does anybody know what the easter egg is?

Can someone please tell me how to get out of this situation? The healing spells I have aren't effective enough.

texts: How can I find a thief (ideally without Bukkit)?

texts:
We're trying to catch a thief on our server. Bukkit isn't a good option since it's a hosted server, so I'm hoping for advice that doesn't requires Bukkit plugins. In the worst case I could probably move the world files somewhere that Bukkit is an option.

There are only 7 suspect players. INVEdit crashes when opening some players' inventories, presumably because we're running 1.7.4 and INVEdit hasn't been updated recently. So I used the trick of temporarily hijacking other players' [username].datfiles, but the stolen items aren't in anyone's inventory.

A note in case someone else doesn't know this technique:

Look in the world's /players directory.
Back up your own [username].dat file.
Copy a suspected player's [username].dat file, renaming it to your user name.
Launch the game and check the inventory as your own.
When you're done investigating, restore your own [username.dat] file.

This probably means the stolen items are in a hidden chest, since the technique above lets you inspect players' inventories and Ender chests.

Are there time-reasonable (i.e., not requiring hours of tedious work) techniques for finding thieves after the fact?

And if not after the fact, are there ways to set up a trap that will help identify thieves in the future, again without requiring hours of work? For example, I've wondered whether naming items could somehow help to track down thieves if you could search through the World data file. Unfortunately, this related question hasn't turned up a solution yet for searching world data for a specific item or item type.

texts: When to max Essence Flux(W) over Mystic Shot(Q) on Ezreal?

texts:
Most Ezreal guides I've read recommend maxing Mystic Shot(Q) first but recently I see a lot of progamers and high ELO players max his Essence Flux(W) first after getting the token point in Mystic Shot(Q) and Arcane Shift(E). However, I still see other high end players max Mystic Shot(Q) first, too.

After checking up on the exact values of the skills I see Essence Flux(W) having better scaling base damage at a higher Mana cost as well as having the advantage of the attack speed buff/debuff scaling with level.

His Mystic Shot(Q) gets a shorter cooldown at the cost of higher mana cost with lower damage increase than Essence Flux(W).

Is it always better to max Essence Flux(W) first or does it depend on specific situations in which it is better to max one over the other?

Note: I only mean AD Ezreal, not AP Ezreal and with a build like Boots->Phage->Sheen->Trinity

Deleting the save data files one by one is ridiculously time consuming.  How can we delete thousands of save data files, but preserve on the very latest (and do it without spending hours of our lives)?


texts: Minecraft shows on both monitors when I go full-screen

texts:
I did not do anything for this to happen, it just happened one day when I started up Minecraft. When I went into full-screen mode, my Minecraft showed up on both my monitors.
However, I'm only able to move my mouse on my main monitor (on the right in the pictures - the cursor is invisible), while the buttons of the Minecraft menu only react to the mouse movement on my second monitor.

I have tried switching the main monitor, but it doesn't help.
I have also tried to go into full-screen mode in the settings, but the same happens, except my main monitor goes black instead.

It's the same on all versions of Minecraft.

In the original Final Fantasy 7, different equipment uses different terminology when describing protection against certain elemental attacks.
Aurora Armlet says “drains cold attacks”.
Ice Ring says “nullifies cold attacks”.
I see several sources that list some of these effects as “absorbs” cold attacks, but I can’t be sure it’s ever actually used in the game. Are these just translation quirks where it is inconsistent in what word to use? Or is there some different meaning in terms of game mechanics?
Based on descriptions of how elemental materia works when put on your armor, I would expect “absorbs” to be used if that element actually heals you, and “nullifies” to be used if that element just does 0 damage to you instead. But I’m unsure if any armor or accessory works this way, or if you can only get healed through the elemental materia.

texts: If I buy a shared game, will it stop being shared?

texts: A friend of mine is sharing a game with me on Steam, which I will happen to be buying for myself later on. But, when I buy/activate the game on my library, will it be replaced with the shared one or will it keep telling me that the game is being shared?


texts: What does the "Actually, It Was A Dog" Hangover do?

texts:
The explanation states:

  You have a 1% chance that any non-boss, enemy humanoid you attack was
  actually just a dog.

I have encountered this booze a few times already but didn't have the nerve to try this. Could someone explain me what this actually do ?
