texts: How do I kill the guards that are on horses easily?

texts:
I always whack away at a mounted guard, but it seems I only hit the horse.  When I'm done, the guard is still chilling on the horse.

What's the best way to defeat these mounted guards?


texts: I've noticed that after the Stalker kills someone, he sits down just like any other Tenno. He also uses his weapons just like a Tenno, and seems to be using Nekros with the Shroud helmet. The only thing that seems to make him not a Tenno is the fact that he has 5 abilities. Am I correct, or am I just being stupid?


texts: Ghosts 'n' Goblins / Ghouls 'n' Ghosts - why?

texts:
I recall that as a kid I saw the same game with two titles: Ghosts 'n' Goblins, and Ghouls 'n' Ghosts. There may have been others (anyone?)

I'd like to know why there were different names for the same title. Was it a copyright issue as we say in Europe for StarFox / Lylat Wars? Possibly the same case for Contra / Probotector (unless it was a name change to go with the robots as Germany did not like humans killing humans hence the character change).


texts: How can I customize vehicles I can't customize?

texts:
I've recently acquired a Crusader tank for my garage:

It is very oppressive and white, and I would like to give it a paint job. However, like many authority vehicles it is apparently "not customizable". I'd leave it at that, if I were not previously able to customize a different kind of "not customizable" vehicle:

I can assure you that the Challenger tank does not usually come in purple, but I can't for the life of me remember just how I managed to get it looking like that. Any advice would be most welcome.


texts: Local co-op on PC with separate Steam accounts

texts: Took a bit, but I found local Steam co-op by going to the town's character select screen and clicking F2 and "A" on a second controller, but the game prompts to choose another slot in the primary Steam account's save file.

texts:
Following on from some advice about getting all characters to buy shares in a specific company before completing an assassination mission, how do I actually quit a mission? There's only two ways I can see how:

Save just before starting a mission, and then load once it's started. The downside here is I need to remember to save before every mission in case one turns out to be important for the stock market.
Somehow fail the mission, preferably without committing suicide, where I'm then given the option to Exit.


texts: How can I pick up the dog in the bar in Cave Story?

texts:
So, twice I've played Cave Story as Curly, and both times, when I reach Jenka and go out to collect dogs, I can't pick one of them up. It's the one called Hajime, I think, and he's the one in the backroom of where we first meet Curly (or the real protagonist, depending on the version you're playing). Everytime I try to pick him up, it goes 'Arf!' and then nothing happens. I've never had this problem with any of the other dogs, and I didn't have this issue when I wasn't playing as Curly. What do I do?

EDIT: so, I tried replaying as Quote up to that point, and I can't pick up the dog there either. So I now have three games, with both characters, where I can't do that same thing. am I missing something? does anyone else have this problem?


texts: Do I need to purchase two copies of the game from steam to be able to do multiplayer game in LAN?

texts:
I've never used Steam.

Several years ago it was necessary to pay for as many copies of the game as many people were expected to join the LAN party - otherwise the games would refuse to connect with each other. Is this still necessary on Steam?

I'm thinking about purchasing the Civilization V for Linux to play with my wife.

I don't intend to play over the Internet.


texts: Is Para HP better than Para Def for 0/8 robe characters?

texts:
I've been going through the learning phase 1 (surviving more than 20 hours on a level 20 character) and I started stacking pots in my vault, but as a 0/8 character I'm running with a para HP ring.

Now I recently found a Para Def ring and I know it's been rated better than Para HP, but is it a good idea to sacrifice 120HP for 8 def as a wizard/robe character (or a new player)?

Is it better for me to keep the Paramount Health ring or should I swap for the Paramount Defense ring?


texts: Is there a faster way to get Potions of Steeling?

texts:
I am already at level 5 and so far I have encountered only one. I obviously don't have the Alchemist tree so I won't be able to craft one to save my life. Right now I have like 20 each of Iron and Steel Ingots and am planning to create a couple of the Royal Beatdowns and some Rings of Iron Thorns.

I was thinking of increasing my chances via the RotDG's Vendor Machine room in which you can create a Vendor Machine for yourself. I usually go Growth, Pillar, and Scrutiny to produce a Crafting Vendor. I guess my question is, should I be going with the drink vendor? Or some other Vendor? And is there ANY other way to obtain it?


texts: What do I need to know about dungeons in World of Warcraft?

texts:
I have always played World of Warcraft on my own; mainly because I don't play enough to build relationships with other players, and because I don't feel committed enough to having other start relying on me to log in every day / week.

Lately I am getting a little bored and feel like involving myself in the multiplayer parts of the game, like the dungeons, would make it more enjoyable.

Thing is, the game is filled with people who spend hour and hours playing and have tonnes of experience. I haven't used the dungeon feature before and I'm not that experienced in the game. I want to try the dungeon feature, but I don't want to end up annoying the other players by not playing well enough or as expected. I don't understand all the terminology that people use referring to items, skills or tactics. I also don't really understand a lot of the game mechanics that are more important when playing with others, like threat. I'm concerned about ruining the dungeon for others, which would deteriorate my interest in the game.

If I play a dungeon with others, what is expected of me? I suspect each class has its set of common tasks, but I don't know what they are. Are there some general rules / expectations that I can read about before I try it out? What is the worst thing I can do if I give it a go?


texts: In what ways are the individual Persona games connected?

texts:
I have only played Persona 5, and it has encouraged me to pick up the other games in the series. I know that they're all stand-alone, but I'm curious:

In what ways are the games related?

Are they comparable to the Final Fantasy games, where only things like enemy and spell names are connected, or is there a bigger tonal/plot/other link between the games? I don't mind minor spoilers if they help answer the question.


texts: How do I get to the northwestern terminal?

texts:
Here's the map:

It looks like the two circled areas are the only two ways up to the unexplored areas, going through the unsolved room to the right and then teleporting along to the left to the other unsolved rooms.. One is a long, dark vertical shaft with no-teleport marks, so that's the way down. The other way is at the top of this room:

This room seems impossible to climb, requiring split-second reflexes to avoid either falling off the elevator or being caught in the current and pushed down into the room below. My experience has been that rooms that seem to require impossible reflexes actually have a simpler solution. I'm stumped, though, and as you can see it's the only terminal I haven't yet reached.

Suggestions?

texts:
With v1.2 there are several alternate ores available. With every world generation only one of each below 7 pairs will be available (i.e. if the world contains Tin then it will not contain Copper etc.) :-

Tin / Copper
Iron / Lead
Tungsten / Silver
Gold / Platinum
Palladium / Cobalt
Orichalcum / Mythril
Titanium / Adamantite

So my question is, do the ores spawn as a 'set' i.e. if the world contains Tin, would it also always contain Iron, Tungsten, Gold, Palladium ... etc.? Or does every ore type have a 50/50 chance to be one or the other?

Reason I ask is because I want to collect all armor types and I want to know roughly how many worlds I need to generate to find all the ore types (esp. hardmode ores)

texts: Problem loading multiple units into multiple medivacs

texts:
When selecting a group of units (marines/marauders/medivacs) I'm looking for a quick way to load them. Right-clicking each medivac in turn works, but when multiple medivacs are used they tend to converge on the right clicked one. This makes if difficult to right click the subsequent ones if they all try to stack. It takes time waiting for them to move away from the previous loaded one before I can start to load the others.
This is the quickest way to load but still painfully slow. Ideally what I'm looking for is to select lots of varying units and using a keyboard shortcut to load the land units into the also selected medivacs.

texts: Can an NTSC-J Playstation 2 run safely on 120VAC?

texts:
I have acquired a Playstation 2, model "SCPH-55000", i.e., an "NTSC-J" model.  It has an internal power supply: the power cable is simply a cable, not a transformer.  All of the documentation, both in the manual and on the device itself, says simply "100V", and not "100-120V" or "100/110V", as hardware sometimes does.

Is it safe to run this on 120V?  (I know a 120->100 converter is pretty cheap but not needing one is even cheaper.)  That is, will it work, without catching on fire, and without significantly shortening the life of the hardware?

texts: Do I need to complete the Via Infinito to gain 100% story completion?

I'm working my way through X-2, and have just come up to the final dungeon.  I've followed the guide as closely as I can, but I seem to be missing some story completion percentage points.  I haven't completed the Via Infinito dungeon, since it seems to be harder than the end boss.  In the guide's story checklist, though, it includes that.

Googling this brings up conflicting answers.  Both for and against completing it.  I would like to know if I have to actually complete this to gain 100% in a single playthrough.  I would rather not have to play through it again, just to see the "Good" complete ending.

What level are the wampas that appear and attack you? I want to know if it is a good idea to do it at level 40 or 55.

texts: Minecraft Redstone detecting players standing on a block in a radius!

texts:
So, basically, I need to make it so that if a player is standing on a block of black wool in a radius of 50 (from the contraption), it will kill them instantly. how is this possible, if at all?
 I can't get it to work so that it will execute the 'kill @a' part for the people standing on wool. I know how to do it with a set of co-ordinates, but the area I have chosen is very large, and would be much faster and efficient to use [r=50]


texts: I started a fire. Is my entire civilization doomed?

texts:
I got the meteor power at about 4500 population, and thought it'd be neat to cast one on my own people to crash through some level 1 abodes and make room for bigger ones, which appear to have more people and belief generation within the same area.

Now my entire civilization is burning and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

I have several towns on vastly different elevations (with differences as much as 25 layers) and I have removed all means of foot traversal between them. But the fire just keeps spreading! It seems if a house explodes within a mile of any nearby houses, the fire will spread across any elevation. The workers make things worse too, since they get set on fire, then try to repair the house, which just sets the house on fire. Beautifying does absolutely nothing, except make them pretty and sparkly as they die.

I did not expect one single fire to spread this much. Did I really just waste ~18 hours of gameplay by casting a single spell? Is this a bug, or a feature?


texts: PS4 Pro: How does Player 2 in Resident Evil 6 buy Skill Points in split-screen co-op?

texts:
Question: during split-screen co-op, we play with two player accounts signed in. During the game, both of us pick up skill point items, and after each chapter we get our ratings (and supposedly points also).

At the end of each chapter, only Player 1 appears to be able to purchase and set skills, and pressing Option on the controller leads into the next chapter. There seems to be no way to buy skills for Player 2, not after a chapter, and not from the main menu either.

Is there any way to get Player 2 to purchase skills?

Both accounts are signed in and through Prologue. If we start the game from the other player's account, then only the starting player's account gets skill points and skills, and the other player's points and (previously earned) skills are displayed as "None" in the in-game (cell phone) menu.

Side note: we beat RE6 on XBOX360 a while back and there, pressing Start after a chapter led to the skill screen for Player 2. On PS4, this just doesn't seem to happen.


texts: Why is cheese viewed with disdain, and will it affect your ranking?

texts:
Why is cheese viewed with disdain? Isn't it just a hyper aggressive style of play? The cheese I am referring to here would be tactics like 6/7 pooling when your opponent fails to wall off, cannon rushing when your opponent fails to spot a scouting probe, proxy pylons and early marine rushes. Most of these are easily preventable (and leave you at a disadvantage) if your opponent is prepared, but if they leave themselves open surely that is their own fault? Most complaints about this feel like sour grapes.

Further to this, can anybody tell me if using such tactics will adversely affect your chances of promotion/demotion?

I just hit level 8 in Titan Quest and found that I can choose a secondary mastery. Warfare is my primary. I looked through the various options for a while and was a bit overwhelmed.

What secondary masteries (and skills) work in tandem with the Warfare abilities, and which don't work? For example, I saw one ability that looked like it would conflict with my "assign this to left click" ability, so I figure I should stay away from that sort of thing (unless... do they stack?).  Are there any particularly effective/fun combos to look at?

texts: Preventing users from teleporting on top of the nether?

texts:
I have users repeatedly using ender pearls to get on the roof of the nether (128 blocks+) and build up there. I want to avoid this. Currently, the only way I could think of is blacklisting ender pearls in the nether, but if possible, I want to keep the pearls and prevent it otherwise.

What I have checked already:

Full-height nether: I could not find a generator that would do that.
Worldguard regions: I was not able to create a really large region, nevermind and endless one. I could do this only for a certain area (around the nether spawn), but I would prefer to have a solution that covers the whole nether
Worldborder: I submitted a feature request for Worldborder since it currently only supports x/z coordinates, not y.
Plugins: I could not find any plugins that are half way up to date doing this.

Any other ideas? Running latest version of Spigot.


texts: Any tips for beating Malthael as a Wizard on high difficulty levels?

texts:
I'm playing solo as a hardcore Wizard on Torment IX, running Tal Rasha's with dual hydras. Usually when I encounter hard boss fights with melee bosses, I'm forced to kite and rely on my hydras + meteors to do the damage - and it works fine.

Malthael, however, is one of my hardest fights, especially in the 2nd stage of the fight, when he turns into a whirling thing and chases me around. He moves about as fast as I can run, the floor is full of bad things, and I can't teleport frequently enough to evade all that.

I just increased difficulty to Torment X and I'm fearful about approaching that fight. Any tips?


texts: How are start locations determined in Civ 5?

texts:
I have been playing Civ 5 on difficulty 5 for a bunch of AI's, FFA style.  I am having issues getting a good foot hold in my games.  I feel as though the other players are expanding towards me first, cutting down on my space to grown.  This wouldn't be so bad but it also appears as though I always start within 15 hexes of another player.  I have tried playing with 'disable start bias' to give myself a better shot with the random placement but I am not having any luck.

How are these initial positions decided?  Are there settings I can setup to give myself more space at the start of the game?


texts: Why zerg taking a third to P's FFE or T's double Command Center is only an equilibrium?

texts:
When I watch MLG or some other replays, the commentator always says Zerg taking a third vs Protoss's FFE or Terrans' double Command Center is an equilibrium, why?

I think taking a third this early causes more points to guard in the middle of the game, especially when Protoss decides to push and when Terran decides to drop their marines. As a Zerg, I build a Spore Crawler and Spine Crawler at every base, and put some zerglings and Banelings there, but a little mistake will let all my drones die and sometimes I even lost my base.

Someone told me that I must use Muta's to keep pressuring Terran or Protoss to let them be away of me third or even my fourth.

But a few protoss cannons or a few Terran Missle Turrets or pulse marine just keep my Muta's far away from his base, and after a while, his Thor will come out.

So why is taking a third only an equilibrium vs T/P's fast expand?

It seems to be a burden for me. And for math only, shouldn't 3 > 2 so doesn't this means taking a third early should let me take advantage?

It's a widely accepted idea that there is a 'pity timer' when opening card packs in Hearthstone, meaning that after X number of packs opened without a Legendary card, your next pack will always contain (at least) 1.

After a recent 12 wins run (Yay!) My reward contained 1 pack, a bunch of gold and a Legendary card.  At that point I thought maybe I hit my pity timer, as it had been a lot of opened packs since my last Legendary.

Does a Legendary Card obtained as an arena reward resets the 'Pity Timer'?

texts: Which gender suits which side of the force better?

texts: I finally got some time to play KOTOR, but not enough to replay it multiple times. While the most differentiating choice is between the light side of the force and the dark side, the choice of gender is probably also important (class as well, but I think I know which ones I choose there). So if I want to experience as much variety in the game as possible by playing only once for the light side and once for the dark side, which gender makes most sense for which side, and why?


texts: I've often noticed as I spam the mouse buttons, that the ability I am trying to activate doesn't seem to occur immediately, and instead may take a second or two while I finish other animations. Does this mean that I can create a short queue of abilities, or abilities always executed only one at a time?  If abilities are queue-able, how deep can I queue them?  I'd be happy to mash less if I knew my abilities were being queued. Queuing might also allow for short ability macros.

texts: is there a way to show a players score on a sign?

texts:
is there a way for a specific players score from a scoreboard to be shown on a specific sign. for example in a game of ice hockey a scoreboard shows the score of the 2 two teams (this would be the signs on minecraft)

this is a screen shot of what the physical and virtual scoreboard look like.

This is 1.8.3 minecraft for the pc!


texts: Do /tellraw selectors refer to the reader or the executing entity/block?

texts:
I have an arbitrary Command Block.

/tellraw @a ["",{"selector":"@p","color":"green"},{"text":" is a new player on the server. Greet them!","color":"green"}]

When they read the text in the chat, what will they see? Will they read that they are a new player on the server (being them the player closest to themselves) or that the player closest to the Command Block is a new player on the server?

In other words, are selector locations and count in /tellraw commands relative to who reads or who executes?

texts: How do I teleport an armor stand to an item?

texts:
I am designing a redstone mini-game, and I need the game host to be able to  set spawnpoints.

I was thinking that the host would drop an item (say red wool) and an invisible armor stand named "Red" will be spawned there. Same with green wool.

The player (based on team) would then be teleported to the proper armor stand. I just can't figure out how to place the armor stand via a dropped item. Any ideas?

texts: Can you still get a transcendence victory if the enemy built a mind flower first?

texts:
How do the mechanics for the transcendence victory work?   I am in the middle of a long game, and in a pretty dominant position.  I was working towards a transcendence victory (making a mind flower), and the AI finished one a few turns before I did.

After the mind flower is completed, how do you win?   The victory page seems to indicate that I just wait... is the enemy on a different timer?   If I have a lot of mind stems will I reach the end faster than the AI?   It's not clear how they function.

Can I destroy the enemies mind flower to stall their progress?

texts: Why do some shops and houses stay locked during the day?

texts:
I've noticed this mainly when waiting for several hours through the night. I always make sure that it's around 10-11am, or at least 9, so the shops in particular (perhaps not the houses) should be open. But on occasion they just stay closed and locked and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to prevent this.

I know some shopkeepers walk to their shop so it's not always immediately open in the morning, but I've waited around for several real-time minutes with no result.

If I wait until after opening times, shouldn't the shops already be open?

Now, I feel like doing some of the new missions introduced in the recent updates with my fully decked out Brigantine, but no race is offering me any worthy missions and I can't quite blow up xenon/khaak ships in those sectors without blowing up all their sector defence first since they hate me (I wonder why, haha).

Is there a sure fire way of regaining faction with all the races so I can do some of the storyline missions?


texts: In Overwatch, does falloff damage happen because bullets deteriorate or just spread?

texts:
Some say that a bullet from Soldier will apply the same damage no matter how far it travels. That being said, we would expect McCree's bullet not to have falloff damage, but it does. So which one is right?

The idea is that D.Va, for example, has tons of falloff damage. However, if it's only due to spread, then the falloff will be compensated by "easier hit". Which one is true?

This question has 2 downvotes already. Looks like people think this is a stupid question. So let me explain. I used to think that the bullet gets "weaker" the farther it travels. Then I read this:

  Stupid question: How does that work? Bullets further from the center of the crosshairs do less damage? Damage never degrades over distance?

  The damage doesn't degrade as it travels, so a single bullet fired from the Heavy Pulse Rifle does the same damage if it hits a target 2m, 10m, or 30m away.

  -- Blizz_ScottMercer

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/3dezkd/hey_roverwatch_were_here_for_a_quick_qa_about/

Basically someone at Blizzard says that for Soldier:76, each bullet does the same damage. That means the "falloff" happens merely due to the spread of bullets.

That's what I want to know. Is all damage falloff like that? Does that mean D.Va is actually pretty good at "crowd" control on large range. Yes less damage, but she surely hits more people. I think this would explain why D.Va's Mech is good for destroying barriers.

The rule of thumb seems to be that hitscan attacks have falloff and projectiles do not. That being said, single bullets heros like Widowmaker do not have fall off. Single bullets from heros like McCree seem to have falloff which violates this theory.

So I am adding this stuff to show I did quite a bit of research before asking this question. My guess is there is no "real falloff". Only bigger spread at longer distance making guns less effective.

That is the point of the question. Is there a "real falloff"? The quote I put in the question suggests no. All "falloff" happens because of what XremeBaumer says.

How long do I have to wait to be able to open the chest, again?

Every time I decide to look at a different planet, new system, etc, I'm forced to sit through a 10-15 second cinematic of the Tempest soaring to the new place.

texts: What are the different champion compositions and resulting playstyles to a 5v5 team?

texts:
Recently we've seen the "meta" open up to a degree. While it's still common to see an AD carry, support, jungler, AP carry, and tanky DPS, the champions and their roles have been broadened past just "top tier" champions. It is now acceptable to have an AP top and an AP mid, for example.

Now, in addition to more champion options,  we've begun to see teams start to synergize their team compositions for a certain playstyle. For example, I often see CLG.na go with a "frost comp", as they call it. This includes Janna, Ashe, and Sejuani in order to slow or freeze the enemies so they they can catch them out of position. The other two champions on their team are usually designed to burst down those caught champions that are caught, making an easy 5v4 win later.

So, in reference to this "frost comp" and the fairly common "poke comp" and "aoe comp", what are some other champion compositions you have seen? What playstyles are neccessary and what method is required for it (i.e. catching someone in the "frost comp")? Does it seem to be fairly successful or just fun?

texts: How to harass Zerg with Terrans (in the early game)

texts:
I saw and read a lot of recommendations to harass Zerg if you play Terran (1x1). From one perspective it should pretty easy: put bunker and 4-8 marines there... actually anywhere you want to have a pressure point. It can be expansion, choke point, whatever.

BUT. There is "but" my concern here is that such "pressure" point is very vulnerable to bannelings/roaches. When Zerg detects this pressure he will get bigger army and wipe-out bunker with marines. If I had marines only - he could kill them with bannelings easily. If I have bunker - he will destroy it with bigger amount of roaches. So I will need to have constantly increasing forces close to the bunker... that means my base will be undefended...

I could add 1-2 siege tanks, but it is already mid game

So the question is: how to harass Zerg with Terran (in the early game) properly?

texts: How do I find out if my firstborn is legitimate?

texts:
My wife turned out to be an adulteress and I'm not the father of our fourth child - one of my vassal dukes is. I guess I was too busy ruling an empire and not paying attention to my wife enough (I'm sure homosexuality had nothing to do with it).
My firstborns are treated as descendants of my dynasty and there were no events related to me being suspicious of their ancestry. For the purposes of game progress and scoring - they are fine members of my house. Still, for the sake of storytelling I'd like to find out if they are really mine.

Is there a way in the game to find out who the real father was? Intrigue event chain? Paranoid-trait related, etc.? If that can be done using cheats - that would do, but I'd like a valid game-play way too.

Update: so with charinfo 1 I can bring up who the real father is for a character and see authors of the pregnancy-in-progress. Any in-game events for finding out parents of kids born for some time now?


texts:
Since the game is in beta phase and I'm a total noob at the game I find it natural to play with bots. My bot match consists of 3 hard bots on my team and 4 easy bots on the opposite team, plus me of course.

Well, with this setting the bots always seem to pick the same heroes every time. In every game I have a bane, a Kunkka, a Sven and always a vengeful spirit. I have been playing the game for 2 weeks and not once have I seen the bots pick a hero such as beastmaster, wisp or clockwork, they always select the same heroes. I'd like to practice with other heroes than these and learn how to work with other heroes except Sven.

How do bots in dota 2 pick their heroes? Why don't they pick other heroes besides the ones mentioned?

texts:
So today I woke up and noticed new item in inventory which was a booster pack containing 3 cards from L4D 2. From what I see on market these booster packs are new (graph only shows up to 19 of June). No matter the game it seems to always contain 3 cards. There are two actions I can do with it: unpack or sell. There is fancy animation when you unpack the booster ;)

I'm not exactly sure why I got it, I have few guesses:

I got new badge, power player - this could give me a booster?
Because of new badge I reached level 10 - maybe every couple levels there are gifts?
It just dropped randomly for everyone?

Maybe together we could rule out above guesses. It's also interesting from the point of market, to estimate how many boosters are there. With some games they seem to be more valuable than 3 cards separately, but that maybe only initial confusion.


texts: What is the function of the plot map system in Deponia?

texts: In Deponia, there's a... hint? system that gets gradually revealed as the player progresses through the game, with cartoon versions of plot points connected flowchart-style.  As I play, certain paths get crossed out.  Sometimes if I hover over an image, text appears explaining it, but sometimes not.  I'm uncertain what the function of this chart is--is it telling me that I made choices that affected the flow of the game?  If I replay the game, can I change the outcome?  For example, in the diagram below there's an arrow leading from the suitcase (very early in the game) to Elysium (the end of the game) that is crossed out.  Could I have done something different to end the game right away?

This game is pretty complex :-)

I understand the price, but then there is popularity and scenery. Popularity seems to indeed increase the popularity of the facility, but what does scenery do?

Plus there are the layouts effects which give you hearts that boost both popularity and price (but I had trouble determining the effects). Do they really boost the popularity and price, and does that count into pop./price shown on the first info tab?

What are the good layouts for baths and rooms?


texts: Feed the beast does not load latest MC version

texts:
So i had two versions of minecraft on my system. I overwritten one minecraft.exe since i had to manually download 1.6, at least it said so on the main minecraft screen. Then i downloaded feed the beast, copied it to the new folder and ran it for the first time. I had a bunch of yellow warnings and red errors in the log but it started minecraft eventually. But the older version 1.5x.

I deleted the .minecraft folder in the appdata and both the regular minecraft maps. Searched the registry for any minecraft related, installed the latest MC (which loads 1.6). Then did the same with feed the beast, chose the same installation folder as the new minecraft folder and let it run again. Eventually i got MC 1.5x running again instead of the latest.

Does feed the beast only work with 1.5x, or is there something wrong? I have seen a youtube video and they had a funky menu on the main screen that i do not have. I have the feeling something is wrong but i can not put my finger on it.

texts: How can I get the potion in "Having", level 69 of Spelling Jungle?

texts:
I'm trying to get the red "L" potion on the far right of the screen, and failing.  How can I get it?

For those who haven't played this game, the mud makes you slide — whatever direction you start moving in, you continue in until you hit a rock/water/grass/etc.  To get the potion I would need to feed the apple to the hippo and ride it over there, but I can't get the apple.  Sliding towards the apple from the space immediately to the right of it makes me fall into the pit.  Sliding towards it from further to the right doesn't work since the wind spirit blows you downwards, and I think I'd just slide into the pit again otherwise anyways.

texts: Getting over the "unlock hump" on the Moon

texts:
My progression on Earth and Mars is going quite smoothly...I am able to double up on Angels in quite a reasonable amount of time.  Unfortunately I can't say the same about the Moon.  I'm having a real hard time getting over the "unlock hump", as I call it.  Most of my investments have an insane multiplier for their next unlock, but along with that require a crazy number of investments.  Screenshots below for reference.

The problem is that I still have a lot of investments to go to unlock anything new, but my income rate is making development glacial.  I'm having to pay in the sexvigintillions and up for new investments, but my best investments are only earning quinvigintillions.  I already have quite a few angels (in the undecillions, see final screenshot), but it's also taking forever to "double up" on them.  Upgrades are also a long ways away, and wouldn't help much anyways.  So I'm not sure how to proceed.

Is the Moon supposed to be this hard, or am I missing something?  It seems odd, considering that Mars is going quite well for me.  I've considered purchasing another golden ticket, but I'm not sure what I would put it on, or if it would even really help...

texts: How can you control vibrotactile feedback with Rec Room circuits?

texts:
Motion-tracked controllers for VR offer vibrotactile (haptic) feedback, e.g. when your hand collides with a physical maker pen object. How can you control the vibrotactile feedback with circuits?

I implemented one approach (for light switches) which consists of a physical maker pen object that is clamped with a gizmo. The gizmo releases it for a single tick when it gets an ("enter") signal from a trigger volume that is at the same location as the clamped physical maker pen object. This creates a nice short vibrotactile feedback. The disadvantage is that the physical maker pen object briefly moves out of position. For non-authority players the situation is even worse because they can apparently miss the reclamp and the object is then out of position until they touch it. Are there any alternatives to control vibrotactile feedback with circuits?

Floor start with no orders, so need time for ordering.

It is most profitable to order for 3 stars first, but it takes more time to order, and there is no productivity when ordering.  On the other hand, ordering 1 star job means less profit.

Would trying to get magic resistance or absorption be a viable option? I'm also only using robes at the moment, so I could switch to light or heavy armor if that would help.

texts: How is a hero's individual progress calculated?

texts:
In Nimble Quest, you kill monsters and you pick up gems. Each hero has a progress bar underneath them that shows how far they are from the next upgrade (star). I tried to figure out exactly how this progress is calculated by comparing different numbers (gems, kills) before and after a game. The change in 'experience' appeared to be close to the number of gems I picked up, but not exactly equal. So how is this progress calculated?

Is it based only on these two factors (gems and kills), or only one of them, or does it involve other factors, such as what level you get to (do higher levels give you more experience per monster as well as more monsters in the level overall), how many max/current heroes you have, or even which character you are using (do all heroes progress at the same rate)?

A source from Nimblebit (the developers) would be ideal.

Edit: Although an answer has been posted saying that killing monsters does not contribute to hero progess, I decided to leave in the relevant paragraph as it lists a number of possibilities.


texts:
According to the wiki:

In most cases, tank tracks should not be paired with any other movement type other than walker legs; their immense weight means that
all other movement types will be severely overburdened, which
decreases their top speed and renders the usage of them pointless.

But does this include thrusters?

Thrusters pointing down (to lift) will be a bad combo, as anything with treads will be too heavy to "thruster jump"

Thursters pointing up, (to push down) is likely redunant, this is normally useful to increase your weight and your traction, but tracks have plenty of both.
This leaves:

Sideways pointing thrusters, for turning faster

Forward/backwards pointing thrusters for speed

Do these work?

texts: In the bounty hunter: powertech skill tree, the skill puncture lets rail shot ignore up to 60% of your opponents armour and the skill superheated rail let you ignore 30% of your oppenents armour.  So does the combination of these two skills mean that you are ignoring 90% of your opponents armour with each shot? or does the game calculate the values some other way?

texts:
The third Speedstar race in the City Ruins has the blue flying Machine fly over the gap the Engels made during the main story.

I can't see a way for me to quickly scale up the buildings if I am to follow the machine underneath, but if I go around, I seem to take too much time as I have tried repeatedly dashing and the sprint run after a dash and both of these were while I was using enough Movement Speed Up chips that I received a prompt saying the maximum speed increase is 20%.

How do I complete this third race?

Update:

I discovered that the cards can still be retrieved by right-clicking on the Capital from the Region List card; but it was nice to be able to double-click the Region Capital as well.

The ROM file is in the same directory as VBA, yet when I run it in VBA, no "Loaded battery" text shows up, and when I get past the game's main menu, the game acts as if I've never played even though there is a save file in the directory.

Importing through File → Import → Battery file results in no change.

texts: When to reset to maximise karma and paragon?

texts:
In kittens game, karma and paragon are obtained via resetting with more than 35-70 kittens, and greatly improve production as global accelerators, becoming almost a necessity past some stage. This question yields more details on why to reset.

I read there was a diminishing returns effect happening after 200 paragons, but these nevertheless take a couple resets to obtain, and even paragon is necessary for Metaphysics upgrades.

When should one reset in order to maximise paragon gathering ? (say, per day of play)

I noticed after Mechanization and Concrete Huts my kittens population seems to stagnate around 130 for a bit of time, so maybe that's a sweet spot, but what about  resetting just after Ironwood Huts, or is it worth waiting for Unobtainium Huts ?

After trying out black mesa source I decided that the game has a lot of replay value, I missed many things and there are still achievements, but still the #1 thing which annoyed me the most during the game was the blood stains that you get on your hands and/or weapon when you kill an enemy. Here's a picture for reference:

Is it possible to remove it? I think it's so messy and unrealistic, and I completely despise this effect. I've looked around the settings but nothing seemed to disable this effect. I'm pretty sure it can affect performance as well.

texts: Are there requirements to build certain public works?

texts:
Is there any kind of requirement for public works to be suggested by villagers? Something like X days into the game? Certain town rate? 2nd floor of museum?

I'm currently working on getting the 2nd floor of museum, and I've tried all the tricks people suggest over the internet, even the ones shown in videos working but none have worked for me yet. I was kind of wondering if it was because my town right now has only 8 villagers (one of them moved out) or because my villagers aren't happy enough with the town or because I haven't built the 2nd floor of the museum or what. I've been playing over one month now, and I can't get any requests. I need help.

Here is a list of what I've built so far:

First bridge (doesn't count)
Dream suite
2 street lights
camping site
fountain (the first one you get)
water well
yellow bench (it was on the list already)

So I hope someone can help me out with this...

  [the] dress module prevents clothing damage normally if you hit critical her skirt is broken/skimpier but not GONE like if you self destruct. module prevents that

Source: Gamefaqs - Shybaason - Post #3

but I've never seen any clothing damage aside from cutscenes, to when used with A2

  Leaves her in only her bra and g-string

Source: Gamefaqs - ukokira1 - Post #7

which I don't recall seeing, in fact it still looked like she was wearing her same torn up stuff (if it makes a difference here (because in some games it does) I brought my game from OzGameShop, so it's probably a UK Release).

What does the Dress Module do? If there is an appearance change, screenshots would be appreciated for all 3 characters.

texts: Can I modify my deck type after creation?

texts:
I just started playing Wargame: Red Dragon (seven years late to the party) and I wanted to experiment with stylized decks. I opted for a BLUFOR motorized deck because I thought the bonus for motorized infantry would be useful. After testing the deck in an offline skirmish I realized the lack of superheavy Main Battle Tanks available for motorized decks is a critical weakness.
I tried to change my deck type to allow for all vehicle types and didn't see any option to do so. I could create a new deck but it seems tedious to copy all of my existing unit cards just for the opportunity to add one or two superheavy tanks while I plan to keep most of the other units the same.


texts:
I'm wondering what defines part of a city. I am playing as Russia and I have 6 cities in two groups (there is only one tile separating the two, but it never wants to expand there). I have a great merchant and I want to build a customs house on a river. however I think that this river is between 4 different cities. The real question is, what cities do I receive benefits from?

If one city has every building possible (bank, market, stock exchange) and the other one is a brand new one (but still connected) which do I receive the bonuses from? Do I get bonuses from both? Does it gain bonuses from ALL connected cities? Or does it only gain bonuses from the city whose citizens work it? Suppose it's equidistant from both cities; what would happen then?

texts: How can I build a safe trash can/incinerator?

texts:
I've tried many different trash can designs, but every single one has had at least one idiot wolf jump into it and die.

The first trash can I came up with is a pressure plate that opens a trapdoor with lava under it and an upside-down slab for safety. Obviously, wolves can still fit through there, and when I built this I didn't know that wolves are incredibly stupid.

I also tried one where you throw the item over a block and it lands on a cactus, but for some reason a wolf walked into that also.

The latest one is by far the safest, and the wolves mostly stay out of it, but recently one wolf pushed another one into it and the wolf didn't get back out. Sadly I didn't remove the water quick enough and it drowned. :(

This one I didn't create myself. Watch this video to see how it's made. (It's the last one that he talks about.)

Of course the best solution would be to make wolves smarter, but until that happens, is there a way to make this even safer without taking up more space? If you have a different design that you think works better, please share it.

texts: What does "XXX" Weighted Range influence?

texts:
In further understanding advanced map creation i want to know more about the specific parameters that can be set. For each terrain type you have a weighted range with numbers behind it. Also does the mesh size have influence on these setting directly?

Do the numbers behind it mean how dominant the type is? So if i put Temperature Weighted Range (0-20) on "NONE" it means there will be no low temperature tiles? This seems to be not working.

For volcanism does this mean how high a volcano in an area will grow? In another question i was told that if you put (0-20) and (80-100) on "1" and the rest on "NONE" there will be no volcanism at all (0-20), i guess neither a magma shaft or there WILL be a volcano (80-100).

If i put further up a minimal value of 20 then i guess it is of no use to put the weighted range (0-20) of the same type to anything other then none.

The FAQ explains so little about all these little settings so i hope Arqade can shed some light on the advanced parameters, expect some more questions about the advanced world generator of Dwarf fortress.


texts:
In the original Killing Floor, every enemy had a unique ability; Clots could grab and immobilize you, Gorefasts had a sword arm and could sprint, Scrakes had chainsaws, Fleshpounds ruined your life, etc.

In Killing Floor 2, now, there are a couple new types of enemies, one of them being the Cyst.

However, I can't seem to find any outstanding ability that they have, neither in-game nor documented. On top of that, they don't seem functionally different at all from the updated Clot specimen. Am I overlooking something or do Cysts really do nothing special at all?


texts: chunk not appearing even after restarting minecraft

texts:
While playing Minecraft suddenly the power went off. After 4 hours when it came back I turned on the pc to resume playing, however the chunk where I was last time had disappeared. I had respawned about 10 blocks away form the missing chunk. I tried pressing F3 + A, saving and quitting, and reloading the game.

It seems that when the power went off the computer was busy writing to that particular chunk, and that writing task remained incomplete.

I haven't tried to go inside that and seeing whether I fall or not (I can't risk my armor or experience). That chunk was not important to me, it just bothers me while I am hunting mobs.

What are the possible methods to get back the chunk?

texts:
I couldn't find any tips among the in-game tutorials about these signature weapons.  So what is it ?  Is it some kind of overpowered version of other existing weapons ?  I'm asking because I couldn't find any equivalent in the other shop's weapons.  For instance, the Shredder:

  The Shredder is unlocked when you have found 10 Memory Cards. It is a customized Vektor SMG with a suppressor, extended magazine and optical sights.

Vektor SMG ?  It that supposed to be a regular weapon I'm not aware of ?  Maybe I haven't found it yet, but then is it normal that this signature weapon gets unlocked ?

Also, it looks like they come with attachments and custom paint corresponding to your play style.  For instance, I'm mostly playing stealthy and I like to paint my guns in red: the 3 signature weapons that popped in the store so far are red and equiped with sound suppressors.  Is it just a coincidence ?

In Mass Effect 2, if you created your Shepard from scratch, the game assumed you'd mostly made Renegade choices in the first game.  I'm wondering what the lay of the land looks like for Mass Effect 3

What specific important decision points are made by default with a precreated Shepard?
Are any of the decision points that happened in the first game different from the way they were for a newly-created Shepard in the second game?
Is there any significant content you can miss out on as the result of a decision point that had a poor outcome?
Does this depend in any way on your gender?  Specifically, I'm thinking of both potential romances and

   the choice in the first game between Kaidan and Ashley, which wasn't all that important in ME2 but I see being a lot more important in ME3 since the survivor is back in your party.

And finally,

   Who lived through the suicide mission at the end of Mass Effect 2?


texts: Is there a specific difference for "dwellings" in terms of storage, and if so, what is it?

texts:
From experience (in-game, and through discussion), it is generally advised not to store gear/treasure in a random barrel in a cave, because

Obviously because you can easily lose where that barrel was
More specifically, because the game can "reset" in that area, and delete your stash.

Is there actually any evidence that can be found to prove this (other than just situational), so I know where I can/cannot set up a "base". I.e. is there anything in the code (or elsewhere) that might indicate the difference between "Breezehome", an Inn, or a random cave?

texts: Are 'transfarring' or cross-game saves region free?

texts:
Several games available on both the Vita and PS3 allow you to sync your progress between platforms, for example, the MGS HD collection for PS3 lets you 'transfar' your MGS2 & 3 saves to the Vita version and back while Peace Walker HD 'transfars' with the PSP version. PS3 games like MLB 12 The Show and the future Sly 4 and PS Heroes All Star Battle Royal will support progress sharing as well.

Since PSP, PS3 and Vita are region free, you may have any of these games from different regions. Do I need to have all versions of the same region? Or will transfarring work even if I have games from different region?

Note: Right now since MGS HD collection is the only available game to support this which came out on different regions (MLB 12 was North America only), so I assume answers will be valid to the MGS collection only. The current games which support this now are MGS HD Collection, MotorStorm RC, MLB 12 The Show (Only the Vita version came out in Europe) & PSASBR. Future games should include R&C:Q-Force/FFA, Sly 4 and ZOE HD.

texts: Why will minecraft's NEI search only search mod names?

texts:
A friend of mine recently made a custom modpack for the technic launcher, but when we use the NEI search function, the only thing that works for searches is the names of modpacks.

For example, searching for "open" shows everything for openblocks, which might be normal, but searching for "iron" shows only items in the iron chest mod, no iron ore, iron bars, iron tools, nothing.

I did see that normal functionality is that @ will search by mod name, but that WAILA might be overriding it. On a whim I tried a few other things and found that if I do #iron, I get what (I think) is a list of all items with iron in the name. Perhaps WAILA or another mod is changing the expected functionality...
Any specific ideas?

Update
It seems that the format @text is a subset search in NEI, i.e. @leg shows a list of all leg slot items. This is different behavior than I'm seeing with no prefix, searching for "leg" gets me no hits.

Update 2

#text does not appear to search for items containing that word, or at least not all items. #comp yielded compressed dirt, but not the opencomputers computers.

texts: RGSC Snapmatic: how to get photos with bigger resolutions?

texts:
I can view and downloads my photos taken ingame from my Xbox 360 on Rockstar Games Social Club - Snapmatic, but I only get 640×360 pixels photos. Is there a way to get my photos with a bigger resolution?

I'm pretty sure that the images are reduced to this size in order to save bandwidth and space but I still ask this question.


texts: How to run and navigate the menu at the same time with controller?

texts:
How to use controller to navigate the menu while runing (i.e. not walking, but dashing)?

For example, in this Dark Souls 3 speed run video the guy simultaniously runs and navigates the menu. Note how his stamina decreased while he was in the menu - that means that he runs, not just walks. I'm sure he uses a controller, like all speed runners do.

I tried to figure out how he does it and failed. Here is controller controls for DS3. Theoretically, you can press all the buttons with 3 fingers if you claw the controller. But in practice, you have a conflict due to B button:

To run you must press left stick (move) and B button (dash) simultaniously.
To navigate menu you must press the menu button (entry the menu), A (accept) and B (back) buttons and D-pad (navigate).

Therefore, when I try it, I stop running and start walking right when I press menu button (while holding left stick and B).
