texts: What is considered to be offline in Clash of Clans?

texts:
At what point does Clash of Clans determine that the player is offline?

eg on my iPhone 5s, I can have the app still running in the background while I use a different app.  Is that considered to be offline?

Or I could leave the app open and let it idle, is it considered to be offline when it shows the "you  have been idle" message?


texts: Can I use content purchased from another Xbox account on my own Xbox account?

texts:
I have a friend who use to own an Xbox 360, and had purchased Gears of War through the Xbox Store.

Using his account, I have downloaded the game to a USB drive. However, when I sign out of his account, and sign back in to my own account, I can not launch the game.

I can still see the downloaded game on the USB drive. I can also run the game from my friends account.

Is there any way to legitimately play the game from my own account, given that my friend will need his account for his Xbox One?


texts: Adjust latency in multiplayer mode to solve car input lag

texts:
I noticed that it's almost impossible to drive a car in Factorio multilayer mode. There is an unmanageable lag between the keys pressed and the resulting movement of the vehicle. This effect happens anytime one is not the host of a multiplayer game.
In my research concerning the car driving problems, I have turned up several posts that explain that this is due to an intentional delay hard-coded into the game that helps with client synchronization. I have read that apparently one can adjust the "latency" or "ping" setting when creating the game (links mentioning this provided at the bottom). This should change the amount of delay the game uses before updating the world state for each connected player. Since I am playing a two player game and both our computers are connected directly to each other through an ethernet cable, I believe this value can be lowered to 10 or even 5 milliseconds. Which would solve the input lag when driving a car in multiplayer.
However I do not see this setting anywhere when in the game creation interface? Has it been removed?

When you kill a ward, a.k.a last hitting a ward, the killer usually gets the gold count unless someone else revealed it, then in that case, the gold will be shared.

However, in the case of pink wards etc. when the wards are not revealed by anyone, the full gold count will be credited to the killer. In this case, especially for the bot lane duo (support and ADC), who is more ideal to take the gold count?


texts: How do I restart on a new island in Battle Islands on PS4?

texts:
I upgraded my command center way too early and now I have people attacking me nonstop. I have no good forces leveled up to defend or fight back.  I see many ways to restart on tablets and PC, but nothing about people who play on PS4.

I went to the obvious place in settings -> application saved data management, but it is not listed there at all. Nothing else under settings seems to be relevant to this game.

I want to try again and focus on leveling up the more important stuff before I get the command center too high where I am a non-stop target. If there is any way I can begin again on the PS4 without making a whole new PS4 account that would be nice.

texts:
As most rpg games with an "open world" like ni no kuni, you usually can trigger a sneak attack if you engage a monster from behind to gain some kind of advantage. I have tried to do so but it didn't work. On the other hand I've been engaged by a monster while he was chasing me and it did trigger a sneak attack for the ennemies resulting in me starting the fight the wrong way. Which by the way is not that much of a disadvantage. Is it a feature that will be available later in the game ?

Spoiler :

  I just signed the treaty with the dog king (can't recall his name).

texts: In Infinity Blade 2, when is the right time to take on Bog Giant and Moss Golem?

texts:
Currently I have 3000 life, a sword that can inflict 100+ damage and shield that takes 70+ damage.
Despite having those, its really tough to kill Bog Giant and the life left in me after the fight makes it impossible to take on Moss Golem. I have completed the game, that is I freed the worker and got myself imprisoned, but I cant kill these two.
I am in my 8th rebirth. Am I playing really poor or is the difficulty apt to my stats?
And what do you think is best equipment, sword and shield or dual or heavy? I think heavy sucks. I have 700 damage weapon but I cant defend/dodge with it when fighting with these 2 big guys.
What do you guys say?


texts: What is the precedence of Guardian Angel compared to other revive effects?

texts:
In League of Legends, there are a number of effects which revive a champion upon death.  The item Guardian Angel is the most well-known and widely used of these.  I was wondering, however, whether its effect would come before or after other revive effects?

I have two examples.

First, Zilean's ultimate Chrono Shift will provide a champion with a Guardian Angel -like buff for a limited time.  If a champion has this buff in addition to a Guardian Angel, which effect will happen first?

Second, Anivia's passive Rebirth allows her to come back to life if her egg is not destroyed after she is killed.  If she has a Guardian Angel, will her passive be triggered before or after it? How does this compare to Zac's Cell Division and Aatrox's Blood Well?

It seems like in one case it is more beneficial to have Guardian Angel's precedence be greater, and in the other it is more beneficial to have it be less.  In the first scenario, if the Guardian Angel was triggered first, then Zilean would have a good chance of simply wasting his ultimate.  On the other hand, if it is triggered after these revival effects, then Anivia could not get the full benefit of her passive.

Is there a set order of precedence, or does each revival effect have their own unique "priority level" that is explicitly detailed for each ability?

texts:
I played through Mass Effect (1) as an Engineer. Bad choice, as it doesn't suit my play style.

I want to play through again as a Vanguard with Singularity as his bonus and take that character through the game on hardcore and then to ME2.

The problem is, I've be grinding Singularity for hours... pretty much the whole day (I work from home so I just left it on and kept triggering singularity every couple of minutes). I feel like I must've topped 75 uses by now.

The question I have is... do the uses have to be IN BATTLE? It's time consuming enough just to grind it on a wall... but maybe I've been spinning my wheels. I don't really want to play the whole game as an adept and then again as a vanguard.

CONFIRMED - Targetting a citadel  transit station worked! It was still a long process. I found that the fastest way was to reload the save file after each cast as it was much faster to load the save file than wait for the cooldown.


texts: Will I get full credit for "Defend the Train" objectives if I freeze it?

texts:
I'm on a Defend the Train mission with the Frozen Titans  and it occurs to me that freezing the train would be a great way to defend it. It gets some protection from damage, and I don't need to worry about it slamming into any enemies with it's movement. I've also got the Ice Generator upgrade which freezes a large area of the map, so I could easily freeze all the enemies including the train, which would go a long way to securing my success in the missions. The only thing, though, is I'm not sure if I'll actually get credit for defending the train if I freeze it on turn 1, and it never reaches the other side of the map.

Can I freeze the train and still get full credit for the Defend the Train objective?

texts: What is the most effective way to use warp gates?

texts:
I understand the advantages warp gates have over gateways, but I'm having a horrible time trying to use them effectively.  With gateways it is very easy using just hotkeys to queue up more troops while you're microing a fight.  However, with warp gates, not only can you not queue production, but you have to jump the map to wherever your pylon is in order to warp in more troops.  At best this is distracting, and at worst it can lose you a battle if your attention is diverted at a critical moment.  Or, like me, you forget to be building troops and your minerals pile up.

I know one good solution is to bring a warp prism with your army and warp troops directly onto the battlefield.  I'm more worried about that early-midgame period--probably the first battle of the game--before you have a robotics facility.  (Plus, I don't want to be forced to go robotech every game.)

So what do other Protoss players do?  How do you take advantage of the warp gates despite the extra attention they require?

A post on Pantheon's Q Spear Shot in the official forum labels it as an execute.

Are there other changes I'm unaware of that added execute mechanics to this ability, or am I just confused about the meaning of the term itself?

I'm stuck here, going in circles ad nauseam and am unsure how to open those locked doors.

Is distance a factor? Do I need to be closer? I'm currently running the cable all the way from the house, past the playground and down into the shallow area of the river. Just makes no sense!

texts: Where is a good location to unlock the faster health regeneration perk?

texts:
Unlocking the faster health regeneration perk required you to hit 200 health. Since overcharged health declines until it hits 100 this strikes me as the kind of perk that can only be unlocked in very specific areas, and that you need to know ahead of time that the area contains enough health (since I'm assuming you'll need to dash around the area without taking damage picking up health packs). The perk seems really handy, so I don't want to miss my chance to unlock it.

Where is a good location to hit 200 health, and unlock the health regeneration perk?

texts: In the mission Going Hunting, how do I hit enemy MIGs with my plane's machine gun?

texts:
My apologies if I mess up the terminology; I am overwhelmed by Battlefield 3's lingo, simplified as it may be.

In the mission Going Hunting, I am the gunner and flare-dumper of a plane being flown by another guy. It's a pretty interesting and intense experience where it feels like a single second of hesitation might lead to a firey explosive death. Fun!

My plane has two weapons: a machine gun and a missile launcher. The missiles seem to occasionally connect; sometimes my enemy dumps flares to avoid them, other times they don't. This seems pretty straightforward. The part that confuses me is the machine gun. Maybe it's because I'm playing on Low Quality settings, but I can barely see the bullets fly out of my plane, let alone connect any with my enemies. I get them in my sights and then squeeze the left mouse button, but my bullets don't seem to be coming anywhere close to hitting them.

What am I doing wrong here? Am I even supposed to be using the machine gun? How do I hit the enemy MIGs with this thing?

My issue is that when I load the game (state A) and play for a while (state B), then save and exit, and load again, the game is at state A, rather than state B, i.e. it did not save the progress I made.

At the end of the half hour, i will have three gold ingots in my inventory plus two diamonds.

 2. The blue blocks subtract from the yellow blocks.
 3. My path must go through every single black dot (so, in this case, every single intersection on the board).

I'm interested in the solution, obviously, but more so I'm interested in if I'm missing or misunderstanding some of the rules here.


texts: What does Pokémon Bank's legality checker react to?

As you may or may not know, Pokémon Bank has logic to determine whether or not a Pokémon is legal or not. What this is meant to do is to see if a Pokémon could be obtained as it is, or if it must've been hacked in. If it isn't legal, transfer into Poké Bank isn't allowed.

What I'd like to know is what criteria the checker actually react to. I've seen different sources saying different things, so it'd be nice to know for sure. Which of these does it check?

Moves
Moves compared to level
EVs
IVs
Generation caught
Caught location

I'm playing ironman mode. Unfortunately, XCOM 2 is currently full of LOS and interface bugs and it's really easy to lose multiple operatives and/or a mission to them.

Is there a way to backup and load ironman saves, ideally without closing the game?


texts: Is there a console command for unlimited ammo?

texts:
I'm playing a lot more Classic Comp matches now, and one thing I'd like to practice is getting the hang of weapon recoil and nade placement.

However, if I play on a map by myself, and there are no bots to shoot, I can't get money.  Buying nades and guns are expensive, and I'd love to be able to have unlimited ammo so I can practice popflashes and snade throws, and practice weapon recoil, etc.

Is there any way to do so?

texts: Enabling simultaneous turns in Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete + HD+ patch over TCP/IP

texts:
How can I enable simultaneous turns in Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete + HD+ patch over TCP/IP?

From what I found on the site I should be having the following options in multiplayer:

But instead I only have these options when hosting multiplayer over TCP/IP:

I just tried to join a game in the online lobby and got the following message:

I wonder if this restriction applies to TCP/IP also. Eg. I would need to pay to play simultaneous turns over TCP/IP.

Update:

For the sake of testing I paid for Daddy Status to see if that allows playing simultaneous turns over TCP/IP and that did not work, it is still unavailable.

But now I can play simultaneous turns in the game lobby:

Based on what it says here I'm thinking that maybe if all players who joined the TCP/IP host have daddy status then enabling simultaneous turns would work.

Is there a way?


texts: What exactly happens during "Puff-Puff"?

texts:
While playing Dragon Quest 11, I bumped into a woman who suggested to do a "puff-puff" to me in Gallopolis. I agreed, she took me (alone) to a room, then the screen went dark and when light was back, turned out the "puff-puff" was done by a huge muscular man with a helmet.

It didn't cost anything, and I have no idea what really happened there. My assumption was that it's kind of massage, but quick Google search showed mix results, including some old ongoing meme.

Even the wiki page doesn't give much details, e.g. the screenshot of something done with slimes is from a different game (not XI) and surely it's not a combat skill.

So, any details what's going on during the "puff-puff" time?

texts: What times are "high risk" for the jungler to visit your lane?

texts:
There are certain times in the early game when you should be on "high alert" for a jungler to come into your Lane. For example early level 2 ganks, after they completed their first jungler route, etc.

Is it possible to say "at 3 minutes top lane should be extra careful as that's when the jungler reaches there" or is there just too much variation in jungler clear times and routes for that to be useful?

texts: Are there any tricks for using the rune stones that appear in the game? The first one was mostly easy because there was just one and it was required to progress. But now that I've obtained 4 stones it seems like just trial and error when activating these scattered stones (that are hard to notice in the first place). Basically is there a way to know which stone to use to complete the combination or are there cases where multiple stones on the same runes have different effects?

texts: I'm a sentinel, and one of my primary reasons for picking the class was I liked the idea of having an ability that improved my shields, since I'm not so great at avoiding being hit.  But I can't seem to figure out how to use this ability.  Whenever I activate it, it always seems to trigger the "detonate" part of the ability.  How do I activate the armor boost effect, and how can I tell whether it is on so that I don't accidentally detonate it by trying to enable it again?

I'm less interested in the Battlecruisers at the moment and am particularly interested in when Ghosts are effective and what I should be looking for to know when it is an appropriate time to transition into building a Ghost Academy and producing some of those units.

I have a sim who mastered gardening/cooking/fishing skills. According to sims wiki, I should have get omni plant and some other plants via skill opportunities.

However, I want to get Master Planter challange, and for that, I need to plant every possible plant. Can I somehow get this opportunities again? My sim is kind of immortal, so in game time is not problem.

Edit: I just realized I had something else filling up my skill opportunity slot. I removed it and waiting for the moment. But this question is still valid.

texts: Broken text encoding in various parts of the Guild Wars 2 UI

texts:
Since day 1 of playing Guild Wars 2, I've been plagued by a text-encoding issue in various parts of the UI. It seems that anywhere that certain types of punctuation (bullet points, for example) are intended to appear, other characters are rendered instead, such as Ā, Ą, Ē, Ě, etc.

I first thought this was due to my operating system's region setting at first, but even though I've changed my region setting back to "English (United States)," the issue still persists. I haven't been able to find any discussion about this issue aside from a single buried thread on the official forums with no replies, so I'm not sure how common this behavior is.

Is there a known cause and/or fix for this issue?

texts: Is there any way to fully clear a stormcloak/imperial camp?

texts:
Having completed the Civil War quest line for the imperials, it was mentioned in passing that I might meet Stormcloaks out in the wilderness and I should do my best to dispatch them.

However, the two Stormcloak camps that I have happened upon and assaulted have had immortal named NPCs in them (I assume quest-givers for "the other side").  I have killed all the foot soldiers in the camp (including the wounded in hospitals for good measure) and even emptied all the chests, however the named NPCs just refuse to get off their knees and die with dignity.

Is clearing the camps themselves an impossible task?

texts:
The majority of cars (practically only 4WD vehicles are available) and more than half of the tracks are locked when starting a new game. Sadly unlocking content (campaign modes  are "championship" and "career") seems to be a very time-consuming process—my first cup victory, which took approximately half an hour, was awarded with one new car (tracks may have been unlocked, but it wasn't explicitly stated). I estimate the entire process to take dozens of hours.

The game has a cheat menu in options > cheats, but I can't find a complete set of cheat codes online.

Codemasters seems to charge for cheat codes even on the web (source):

texts: In LoL, what is the (greek?) symbol on Inferno Nasus amulet?

texts:
In League of Legends, the Inferno Nasus character has a necklace with three symbols on it. One of the symbols is an Omega, but I don't know what the other two are. Does anyone recognize them?

I'm particularly curious about the second one, since that triangular symbol looks very familiar. Do any companies use that as a logo?

My best guess is that it's a Sierpinski Triangle, the kind where the three triangles overlap as seen on this page, but with two of the three internal lines removed.

Alternatively, some of the symbols for the four classical greek elements look similar - but the lines are in the wrong place and continue outside of the triangle.

Does anyone recognize the triangular symbol with the line through it?

texts: Just entered a new arena, what about the free chests?

texts:
I was thinking, I just came to a new arena with great difficulty. I believe that when I start playing again I will lose 50 trophies and return to the previous arena. Theoretically, I can stop battling and get cards from the new arena through free chests, right?

I mean, it does not say anywhere I look that this is impossible. But it seems like this is an appeal that people can abuse a lot (for example, your skills, cards level and deck are not worthy of the next arena but you can get as many cards as you want from there due to an event of luck). But the thing is: I've been in this situation before and never got cards of the new arena from free chests after I only won the battle to get to this new arena.

So, it begs the question: Is there anything programmed in the game to just give cards of the new arena after some victories in it?

In spite of this, I can't seem to present that as evidence from the start, causing the

texts:
I have connected my xbox 360 to my computer monitor so i can easily switch between without having to use different monitors. Thing is that my monitor is HD and the xbox interface is not HD. In fact, it is so blury and pixelated that it's impossible to see enemies comming from far. It's not game related, this blur comes as soon as i boot up the xbox and enter the menu.
I'm not sure if this has to do about whether i'm using HDMI or RGB or anything else (I use AV2 by the way).
I switched from AV1 to AV2 because i noticed a slight difference, but still looks bad.
So i tried adjusting the settings on xbox, and PAL 50 Hz seems to be fixing the problem (Default was PAL 60 Hz for some reason) but NONE of my games support 50 Hz, so it prompts me to change it back to 60 Hz.
So what the hell, is there any way to escape this hell?

P.S: My xbox and games are both using PAL format.

texts: How can I determine the light level of a block with commands?

texts:
I want to build a set of command blocks that will automatically place a torch at the foot of a player (or entity) when the light level falls below a certain threshold.  So basically I need to be able to determine the light level at a player using command blocks.

I've looked the some of the wiki pages on NBT data to see if the light level is stored with the block, so I could do something like /execute @p ~ ~ ~ testforblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:air 0 {dataTagForLight:3b}, but there doesn't seem to be any such data tag.

I've considered spawning a daylight detector, but I have a feeling it won't do what I want it to do while in caves, since as far as I can tell, in the primary mode, it's only affected by sunlight.  Plus there's other issue with the plan, and it just feels like a kludge.

So, is there a way to determine the light level of a given block?  If so, how?

texts:
I've been playing through the game and had gotten all five main endings, and started with a new save file.  I noticed that after the first play through, the Goliath Tank in the Amusement Park wasn't hostile starting with the second play through, even before I got endings C, D & E.  Going for ending A, I've noticed the tank wasn't hostile.

My question is, is the tank initially hostile, or did I just blindly attack it because another machine said it was dangerous beyond where he was?  I think it may have been hostile initially, but because the game does save data outside of the save files which seem to affect it even if you were to remove all the save files, I'm no longer certain.

Is there any way to avoid drowning in quicksand if you haven't managed to avoid it?


texts: Nvidia 3d vision not activating automatically

texts:
When I start a game (like SW:TOR for example), the screen shows the dual image for my 3d vision, but the glasses are not activated. To make it work, I have to go to nvidia control panel, 3d section and change the '3d display device' (or something) from 'nvidia 3d discovery' to my monitor, but I have to do this every time I restart the computer.

This didn't happen a few months ago, but guess something changed (some patch or nvidia drivers).  Anybody knows how to fix this?


texts: Is there a way to see casual rank of other players like you can see ping as numbers instead of bars?

texts: All you can see is these badges/medals and it's not clear from the colors what the number of Tiers they have is. The advanced menu has an option to change how the scoreboard displays ping of all players from vague bars to actual millisecond numbers. Is there a similar setting for rank badges?


texts: How can I convince my logistic robots to maintain depots for goods I request for myself?

texts:
My base has grown quite large and I spend a lot of time keeping the surrounding free of annoying tree-hugging eco-terrorist hippies alien scum.

I covered my whole base with a logistics network and set up my character logistic slots, so my logistic robots will replenish any of my combat consumables (ammunition, capsules, repair packs etc.) as soon as I get near it. Unfortunately my combat supplies are manufactured at one end of my base, so when I am at the other end it can take quite a while until the logistics fleet arrives.

So I placed multiple stashes of combat supplies in passive provider chests all around my perimeter, so my logistics robots can resupply from the nearest one. But now I have to make sure that all these supply depots are full all the time, which requires me to regularly drive around the whole base to refill them. This pretty much defeats the purpose of the logistics network system and I wonder if I can somehow automatize that.

My first idea was to place a requester chest and a passive provider chest next to each other with an inserter taking from the requester chest to the provider chest. The plan was that the requester requests the combat supplies from my combat supply production center which then get transferred to the provider chest which then transfers them to me when required. But this lead to an infinite loop because the requester would request from the provider next to it instead of from the production center.

Is there a way to get my logistics robots to maintain a bunch of depots all around my base while also having them resupply me from said depots?


texts: Where can i find what's inappropriate in Miiverse?

texts:
I was trying to post something in Miiverse last night, this was what I had originally wanted to post

  A city on a crab who sunders the earth,
  A jet raven who soars the skies,
  A demon train bound in flames,
  A clockwork spider of many analog eyes,
  And a Shinto god in a forest of powerlines.

  Out of all 6 Summons, Ziusudra is the only one untouched by the progress of humanity.

However, it kept refusing to post, saying I had used inappropriate words or phrases. After a lot of trial and error, I was able to post it however the only change I made was to change the word god to kami.

Looking over the Miiverse Code of Conduct, I can't see in there about inappropriate words or phrases and just the word God seems weird to me.

I am wondering if there is a place which details what is inappropriate in Miiverse so I don't have to spend almost an hour trying to work out the one innocent word which is preventing me from posting.


texts: Is there anything I can do about the poor quality of my PS2 games on a large TV?

texts:
Last year when I moved from being a highschool student to a full-time web developer, I found myself with a never before seen abundance of money.

Of course the first thing I did was go out and purchase a 50" Plasma TV for my tiny room.

I also bought an XBOX 360, having before this only being able to afford a PS2.

The XBOX looks great (with a HDMI cable), but a couple of days ago I had an itch for playing through Final Fantasy X, XII and X-2. Unfortunately, the render quality on my new 50" TV doesn't look anywhere near as nice as it did on my old 65CM box TV that is now about 10 years old. I'm guessing this has something to do with stretching the game up so much.

Is there anything I can do about this aside from buying an older/smaller TV?

texts: How can a predator defeat an alien in melee?

texts:
Whether playing the campaign or online, I am rarely successful in fighting an alien.  My technique is pretty much button mashing in the hope I get in more blows than the enemy.

I understand that light attacks are blockable, heavy attacks are not and light attacks counter heavy attacks.  However, I just cannot seem to put that knowledge to any good use when going up against a xenomorph.

Is there some kind of method or pattern I can use to improve my chances during a fight?


texts: What are the required outbound IPs and ports on a spigot server?

texts:
Note: I am not absolutely sure that the question is on topic, even though this Meta discussion suggests it is. The question is specifically about a game server, not general server administration.

I run a Spigot (Minecraft) server for my children and friends and would like to limit the outbound connections as much as possible (just in case the server is hacked via the application).

Is there a definite list of IPs which are required for the server to:

Just run
Run and make all required checks (of plugin versions for instance)

Ideally, for the first case, this list would be empty (I would check manually from time to time) but it may be that there are some IPs which must be reachable.

As for the second case, I saw a few IPs being reached via HTTP during startup:

ec2-54-175-97-178.compute-1.amazonaws.com
ns511765.ip-198-27-66.net

They are resolved from more generic names so they are probably round robin ones (or possibly a load balancer, though it should not expose the internal IPs).

Is there an explicit list of the IPs for these servers?


texts: How do I use the gun in the Android port of Another World?

texts:
How do I use the gun in the Android version of Another World?

Based on the in-game help, I would have thought that tapping the screen would fire the gun and that pressing the screen longer would make the gun go into the other modes.  That lines up with what I remember from the Apple IIgs port from years ago (when the mouse button served a similar function, if I recall).  However, tapping the screen just moves my character.

What am I supposed to be doing instead?

texts:
so i have hp omen 15 laptop, and it has i7 8700hq and GTX 1050ti. it used to run 140-160 fps, but at some point i ran at 40-80 fps. monitor refresh rate is 144hz.

before you say "csgo is cpu heavy", watch this

            .

i set csgo to use nvidia on the nvidia control panel, windows graphic setting, and run it using geforce experience, didnt work.

so i disabled UHD altogether, it says 140-160 fps.

But i noticed it wasnt as fast as it used to be. turns out when i go to windows advanced display setting, the only option is 64hz. but when i enabled uhd the option is 60hz and 144hz. only csgo have this problem, other games is fine

so i tried to change it from the bios, from mshybrid to dedicated. BUT HP locked the advanced setting.

so i hoped somebody reading this has other solutions, before i nuke windows, flash bios, and regret doing those because it didnt help. PLZ help

*or other fixes like, does anyone know an app to switch from mshybrid to discrete? or how to fix the display so it can run at 144hz again?

texts: Is there an effective method to retrain your muscle memory?

texts:
Muscle Memory is an effect not only known in gaming. It is an effect stored in your brain which is in gaming responsible for your capability of aiming with a mouse in e.g. First Person Shooters. I used a G5 Logitech Mouse for almost 8 years and the last few months it was half broken, but still worked. However, compared to my new mouse, Logitech Proteus Core G502, it was not really sensitive. My new mouse has higher polls, way higher sensitivity (up to 12.000 DPI@1000 polls/s) and, as expected, my aiming sucks.

Therefore I would like to know if there are any known exercises for gamers to retrain muscle memory for a new mouse effectively besides playing the games you play over and over until you stop sucking?


texts: As Zeus, is it possible to globally acquire assists?

texts:
Example: Spirit Breaker ganks Crystal Maiden, and Zeus is on SB's team.

To my knowledge, if Zeus doesn't steal the kill with Thundergod's Wrath (but deals damage with it), Spirit Breaker gets the kill gold and Zeus gets nothing.

If Zeus does steal the kill, Zeus gets the kill money and Spirit Breaker gets assist money. If all of this is correct, Thundergod's Wrath will only benefit to the team's net worth (assuming Zeus is not within assist range) if Zeus steals the kills.

Thus the question: Is it possible to be rewarded for benefitting your team with Thundergod's Wrath globally (as opposed to actually being in the assist range of the fight) without actualy crippling everyone else (such as stealing kills right from under said Spirit Breaker's nose), or is my conclusion in the previous paragraph correct?

texts: How can I make it easy for a player to select a choice at a rail junction?

texts:
So rail junctions are a nice simple way to pick between two destinations for incoming minecarts, however the challenge is making an easy way for the player to pick which direction they want to take as they approach the junction.

The simplest method is a button that they have to press while approaching the junction in the minecart:

Pressing the button causes the rider to switch onto the outbound track. Not pressing the button means they continue on the loop to the next junction. The problem here however is that the button is very hard to hit correctly while riding the rail at full speed.

What is an easier way for a player riding on a minecart to activate a junction so that they can take the alternate pathway? To be clear, the player should still have the option NOT to activate the junction and take the default path as well (as seen in the image above).

texts: Xbox 360 overheat/freeze, no red ring of death, x-clamp repair completed already

texts:
I have an xbox that a friend gave me with RROD issues.  I fixed it about 6 months ago by replacing the x-clamps with nuts/bolts/washers and new thermal paste.  I've been doing PC repair for years this felt like a straight forward repair.

I've been playing literally over 200 hours, it has worked great.

Starting yesterday, the game just froze - visuals stayed on screen, it just locked up, had some minor checkering artifacts, and heard a short beep.  Only solution was to turn console off/on.  This fixed it for a couple hours, then the same problem occured.  I'm playing Fallout: New Vegas so I assumed it was game bugs.

The problem quickly got worse, the console won't even run on the home screen for more than 2 or 3 minutes until it encounters this same problem.  When I turn the box off/on it resets and acts normally - no red lights, no errors; until it freezes.  I removed the ethernet and HDD, no dice.

This isn't freezing on the loading screen, it gets to the menu just fine, controller connects, I can load a game or netflix, or whatever, but it always locks up in 3-5 minutes, sometimes less.

Is there any chance of figuring out what this issue is and fixing it?  Is it the same problem that caused the RROD coming back, or a different problem?  Can someone suggest a fix?

Could someone please shed some light on this and give pointers how to get there, if it's possible.

texts:
I've been playing, and I have noticed that I have picked up several personality reputations, mostly by my diaglogue choices.

Looking at them, I get the feeling it just adds up the number of times you pick that type of response.

The official strategy guide says that each reputation has three "ranks or titles" which reflect your consistent behavior. The personality types are listed as:

Benevolent: charitable, kind, soft, or weak.
Cruel: merciless, sadistic, brutal, or imperious.
Clever: sarcastic, sassy, foppish, or irreverent.
Stoic: tight-lipped, cool-headed, or simple-minded.
Aggressive: hot-headed, bold, or impatient.
Diplomatic: cautious, tame, or courteous.
Passionate: zealous, romantic, or obsessive.
Rational: practical, standoffsh, or cold.
Honest: guileless, sincere, or straightforward.
Deceptive: dishonest, manipulative, or shrewd.

Does anyone know exactly how they work? They look like they could be 5 spectrums (eg: Benevolent/Cruel, Honest/Deceptive). If not, can I have a reputation for both benevolance and cruelty?

Do we know what numbers you need to cross over into each reputation category?

What are the "titles" of these categories?

Is there a way to successfully avoid these men so that I can get to the beehives?

Starting with the 2.0.1 patch, monsters now level up with your characters.

When does this level adjustment take effect?  If I level up in the middle of fighting a pack of monsters, do they all level up instantly or does it only affect monsters that haven't been spawned yet?

If I recall correctly, when another player joins the game, there's a delay of several seconds before monster health goes up - even the monsters I'm actively fighting.  Perhaps the same is true for changing monster level when I level?

texts: Stuck at the "You died" screen after being killed by an invader

texts:
I'm really not sure what to put it down to, because of the isolated incident it occurred in, so I thought I would see what anyone else can com up with.

I was in the Belfrey Luna, going to fight the boss, when a member of the Bell Keeper Covenant invaded. He looked pretty suspicious, enough so that I immediately knew the outcome was going to be bad. Dual-wielding Heide Swords, A crown and no chest armour.

The fight went as expected: I lost horribly, but that's when the glitch(?) occurred. After I died, the screen faded, the sound played, but he was never banished and I was stuck staring at a grey-scale screen and the "YOU DIED" never showed. This happened 3 times in about half an hour (same guy invaded 3 times) until I finally gave in and went elsewhere. I was forced to restart the game each time.

So what do people think? Glitch? Hack? Or a really bad lag spike?

texts:
I've completed the GTA 5 main story missions and now I'm trying to make more money by playing the stock market. I bought shares in Whiz and I'm waiting for them to change. Every time I look either online or in game the share price is unchanged at 0.57.

I checked on social club yesterday and they were at 0.57 with the graph reflecting this, although they were higher on Thursday according to the graph. Today they're also 0.57 but the graph shows they were about 1.0 yesterday, but they definitely weren't whenever I looked.

Social club's also showing Michael's portfolio as owning 0 shares for me even though I have about 1.5 million shares on that character.

I read that it can sometimes get stuck in game and you need to reload a save to fix it, and I've tried that, with no luck. Does anyone know if it's generally glitching/broken or a known issue with a workaround?


texts: Applied Energistics Subnetwork doesn't accept items

texts:
I created an mob farm using cursed earth and an auto-spawner spawning endermen, their drops I want to collect in an AE subnetwork.

The mobfarm consists of 2 grinders and an iron tank. The grinders output their items into itemducts which lead to an ME Interface which is linked to the subnetwork.

The subnetwork is powered by an ME Power Relay and has an ME Drive, ME Controller, ME Interface and is read-only to my main network through an ME Storage Bus.

However, my grinders now refuse to work and the itemducts are clogged up, meaning my AE subsystem doesn't accept the items... which is weird considering they're not partitioned.

When looking at the itemduct to the ME Interface, items just bounce back and forth in the last itemduct.

This seemed to be a graphical glitch, restarting the server helped this

Does anyone happen to know why this happens? And possibly how to fix it?

Using a second ME Interface did nothing.

Will any of our inventory be affected?

There's a house on Route 18 in Pokémon X & Y, where you can take part in an Inverse Battle once per day. In this battle moves that are usually Super Effective (eg, Fire -> Grass) are Not Very Effective, and moves that are usually Not Very Effective (eg, Water -> Grass) are Super Effective.

How does this affect match-ups that usually do no damage (eg Normal -> Ghost, or Psychic -> Dark)? Do they still do zero damage, or do they now do Super Effective? If the latter, are there any type match-ups that would do zero damage in an Inverse Battle?


texts:
I need some help.

I don't fully understand /data modify yet, but I am learning. In the meantime, I would like to modify the data of every Wandering Trader that has the x3 Emeralds > x3 Podzol trade to be a trade for x5 Emeralds > x1 Grass, I want to change ONLY THAT TRADE, I would like the rest of the trades that the Trader spawned with to remain the same.

Here's what I have:

/execute as @e[type=wandering_trader,nbt={Offers:{Recipes:[{sell:{id:"minecraft:podzol"}}]}}] run data modify entity @s ...

and here's the data that I want to replace the podzol trade with:

{maxUses:1,buyB:{id:"minecraft:air",Count:1b},buy:{id:"minecraft:emerald",Count:5},sell:{id:"minecraft:grass",Count:1b},xp:1,uses:0,priceMultiplier:0.05f,specialPrice:0,demand:0,rewardExp:1b}

and that's where my knowledge of modify is exhausted, I have tried many different commands to no avail. I'm pretty sure that I need to use /data modify ... set but I don't know how to...

Thanks in advance. :)

I just read the wikia that breeding yellow and red sheep would give orange lamb and also tried it.

So red + yellow = orange.

I wanted to ask what are other possible combinations?


texts: How to get the 6 extra specializations on Halo 4 with an offline profile?

texts: I have reached SR70 with my offline profile on Halo 4. As far as I can tell, the only way to get a higher rank/specialization is by going on Xbox Live, which will reset my XP (not an option). How can I get these specializations (Pathfinder, Stalker, Pioneer, etc.) on my offline profile? I don't mind using a hack.

texts: Can I learn Lockpickin' after I leave the farm?

texts: When I chose which skill to learn at the start of the game, I chose Dickerin' since it seemed like it was going to be pretty useful. However, I'm running in to a lot more locked objects than I am people who I can Dicker with, and I'd like to learn Lockpickin'. Is there any way for me to learn this skill after I leave the farm?
