I am upgrading my roads and find it difficult to tell whether a road is low/med or high density.

Using the upgrade road tool I click on roads in the area I am upgrading until I feel I have upgraded them all. Sometimes I reclick on a road I have upgraded already "to be sure".

Is there a view that shows road density? Is there an easier way to upgrade roads?

I find the upgrade road tool a little annoying as the dialogue that pops up covers the area I am upgrading.

Steam now has trading cards.  In order to get them, you're supposed to play specific games (currently there are only 6 games supported, but they've said more will come).

However, I can't figure out how to actually get the cards.  I played a bit of Portal 2, but didn't find any cards.

Do I need to find/pick up actual cards within the game?  Do I get them for completing certain objectives/achievements?  Do I need to beat the game?  How do I get cards?

texts:
when I first got a ps4 I immediately created a psn account and bought a couple of games on the store itself. Mortal Kombat XL, GTA V, Assassin's Creed IV, and Ratchet & Clank. These games are quite sizable and because my internet isn't too fast they took quite long to download, so the PSN store was definitely working fine for a couple of weeks (4-5 weeks at most). Then I started noticing a problem logging in at my house with these two screenshots.

I tried everything and nothing worked. Then when I was at my sisters house, I was able to access store.playstation.com through her internet connection. So I assumed psn was down for maintenance but when I got back home it wasn't still wasn't working on mine. I assumed my IP was banned for some reason but then when I tried to log into my account at my sister's house a few weeks after it was also now not working. After a few weeks on not being able to access psn I tried again just out of curiosity and to my surprise it worked. But only for a few days. It has been doing this for the past few months, not access for long periods and then access for like a few days and then it's down again.

Can someone please help? I'm here because Sony said it's my fault when I know I didn't do anything malicious.

texts:
I play a Demonhunter and use the Sharpshooter ability which increases my critical hit chance by 3% every second. Usually when I compare weapons it is maxed out at 100% critical hit chance (30 seconds charge required) and I have about 65k DPS, but if I disable the ability its only 25k.

Here are the problems I have encountered:

Critical hit chance increased does not matter in a comparison, as it is already 100%
I do not really have 65k as this would require me to crit on every hit but my next guaranteed crit is after 30 seconds, as my base critical hit chance is about 9%.
Sometimes I have items that have higher DPS with Sharpshooter enabled compared to another item, but if I disable the ability the later is better (Which should I choose).
Sometimes people say you need X DPS for some boss (e.g. 20k DPS for Butcher) how do I know if I really have the required DPS? I make more DPS than the value with Sharpshooter disabled and less than the displayed DPS.

Obviously it is very hard to calculate my real DPS as the calculation would be something like this. This does not "reset" the counter as Sharpshooter does:

(65k * 1 + 65k * 0.09 + 20k * 0.91 + ... + 65k * 0.909 + 20k * 0.091) / ((100 - 9) / 3)

65k is my max DPS
20k is DPS without crit (0%)
100 - 9 = 91% critical chance that increases every second in increments of 3 (about 30 seconds)

And even this is not completely accurate as I shoot about 5 shots and run away. During this time my critical hit chance increases.

So here is the question again:

What DPS value is more important for me while comparing items:

DPS with Sharpshooter enabled
DPS with Sharpshooter diabled
Some custom calculation


texts: Hoes does Revenge of the Titans money flow work?

texts:
Recently I picked up Revenge of the Titans again. I noticed a lot has changed, upgrades no longer cost money, and half the game mechanics seem to have changed with it.

What I never quite could grasp in RotT was the money flow. I've been experimenting a bit with income, and it doesn't make sense at all. Building more refineries sometimes yield less income, taking the refineries tech path doesn't help a lot either. Sometimes I spawn tons of turrets, it feels like a bad attempt, and I end with tons of money. Next I build what feels like more efficiently, and I end up with less money :(

Some things I noticed so far are:

There is a max of 4 refineries per crystal.
Losing/damage to buildings is fatal for money.
Replaying missions gives a huge randomness in remaining money.

I'm at loss for the money remaining at end of mission formula, as well as half the strategy guides I find are for old versions of the game. What would really help me too would be a lite of suggested amount of money win/loss per mission. I noticed that some missions let you gain 1k mineral easily, while others can only be solved with a negative total.

texts: Why can't I select any higher resolution?

texts:
For some reason I seem to be unable to select any higher resolution when trying to play the game in fullscreen mode.

Despite my screen supporting up to 2560×1440 pixels, the maximum I get is 1280×1024, which isn't even 1080p:

When playing in windowed mode, I'm at least able to pick up to 1920×1200. While this isn't perfect, it's better than playing with a blurry screen.

What's the reason behind this and is there some way to fix it?


texts: My Minecraft keeps crashing and it says at the end of the logs "Process crashed with exit code -532462766",


texts:
I'm having an issue with one of my residents, and I'd like to kick them out. However, the information I've obtained online seems to be very conflicting and doesn't point to a guaranteed way to force villagers out.  Asides from using Amiibos, which seem to be the only consistently guaranteed way to force a villager out, here are some conflicting things I've read.

Regarding the villager you want kicked out:

Hitting them with a Bug Net over and over will eventually get them to think about leaving the island
Hitting them with a Bug Net will not convince them to leave the island

Talking to Isabelle in Resident Services "resets" the villager, no matter which option you choose (the way they talk, the way they dress), and will never kick out the villager
Talking to Isabelle and complaining about them enough times will eventually force the villager out

Ignoring the villager

This seems to be the only semi-consistent method I've found online (haven't tried). However, nothing mentions a timeline, like how long I need to ignore them; what is the minimum amount of time (is it tied to play-session, in-game time, or a fixed date from the moment I start ignoring them).

If anything, how do I guarantee a villager of my choice will be kicked out?

texts: How to find the last bit of corruption/crimson/hallow in a terraria world

texts:
I have been working on getting my main Terraria world to 100% pure(No Hallow Crimson Or Corruption) and I managed to get the world to 1% Hallow and 1% Crimson but can not find those last 1%s. I have tried using Tedit to find the coordinates of the last blocks but that did not work and I have also tried the MoreTerraria world viewer to find those last blocks but it keeps giving me an error when I try to draw a world. If anyone has any tips or tricks for finding this last bit I would gladly try them because every solution I have found online does not help me in the slightest. I am also trying to stay away from destroying the world since it is my main world and would prefer not to look over the entire world as it is a large world which means that by the time I found it, it probably would have spread more already.

If needed here is the world download if there are no efficient tips and tricks that can work so that I may at least get some help finding the round about area the crimson and hallow is.

texts: Can monsters drop their action figures inside ancient vaults?

texts:
The recent addition of the ancient vaults gave some more to do in the post-game. They are filled to the brim with the unique monsters and have plenty of rewards.

I was wondering if the unique monsters can still drop their respective action figures while inside the ancient vault. I only question this because, so far, I haven't gotten a single action figure drop (though the chance is only 1/1000) and also, ancient vaults have slightly modified rules in the first place (like not dropping items when you die in survival).

I'm hoping they still do because it is a great place to farm these monsters but, I don't want to kill every monster in the vault if they only drop essence and the special crafting materials.

texts: Are there no unique battle maps for special cities in the Total War: ROME II campaign?

texts:
I recently attacked the city of Alexandria with a combined naval and land force in my co-op campaign with a friend, and was looking forward to a battle in the environment presented on this page: http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Total_War_ROME_II:_Capital_Cities

However, when the battle map loaded the city looked nothing like the one in the picture of Alexandria in the wiki. It was just a generic coastal city with walls, no huge lighthouse or other unique details.

From the wiki page (emphasis added):

  Among all the settlements and cities to be found as you conquer your way across ROME II’s campaign map, five stand out as great wonders of engineering [...]

and

  It’s only right that the battle maps for these mighty seats of ancient civilisation get the special treatment, so we’ve gone to town on making them the most intricate, stunning, authentic and of course epic cityscapes we’ve ever created.

I also attacked Carthage earlier during the campaign and as I recall it too didn't look any different from the other generic provincial capitals I had waged battles in.

Is there anyone who has attacked or defended one of these "unique" capitals and had the battle map actually look like the cities in the pictures on the wiki page?

My dilemma is this: I have teams, set up with a scoreboard. These are Winner and Player, for a PvP minigame in development.

I also want to add classes, however. My way of doing this now would be to create a team like classUnlocked and put players onto it as they unlock a certain class.

Sadly, minecraft can only have a player be on one team at once. How would I keep the Winner/Player system and also add Classes that can be permanently unlocked for a specific group of players? (the ones who purchased it)

texts: How long does it take for an expansion to become an advantage?

texts:
When you expand, you sacrifice the "strength of your army" (i.e. tech + army units) for a while. What is this duration? To illustrate what I mean, here's a makeshift graph of 1-base production versus a 1-base into expansion production:

My question is: How long is that green line? How can you measure it / calculate it?

The paragraph-style description of the graph is: While you save for the expo, your army is not getting stronger. When you build the expo, you can continue to produce on 1-base, but you will be behind the cost of the expo. Once the expo is up, your income will gradually increase, allowing production to accelerate. At some point the acceleration will elevate you past the point you would have been if you stayed on one base.

I have a very hard time sensing this moment in the game. It's easy to feel when income increases, but hard to know when the expo actually led to a stronger army relative to if you hadn't expanded.

There are a lot of factors that influence the answer of course, but they can be ignored as follows:

What race are you? For example if you're terran, you can benefit just by building an orbital command and summoning MULEs. Or just double-producing SCVs. Assume building right at the expo location as this is more general. If you're protoss, assume that you build a pylon at the expo, but that you needed it anyway so it's not really a cost of expanding.
Will you need gas geysers? Ignore gas, because the geysers cost minerals but return gas, and cannot be compared. It would be a separate graph entirely.
How many workers can you transfer, how saturated was the base where they're coming from, how far is the transfer? Assume transferring a practical handful of 5-8 workers. If you are transferring more, then there's not much question: you apparently NEED to expand regardless of the return, because you're over-saturated.
How many resources are remaining in your other bases? similar to the last item, if you are desperate to expand, then it's not really necessary to calculate when it will be advantageous
Unit producing structures you must create in order to . This could actually be considered as part of the cost to expand, however it can also be ignored because the goal here is only to find point 4 (on the graph). Beyond that is not so important, because you know you're benefitting.

So the idea is to get a general sense of "+/-30 seconds, how long is this duration?"

I think this would be helpful making in-game decisions, calculating riskiness of expanding (balancing need versus risk of being attacked during the green line), for developing new builds and considering FE, or making in-game adaptations. Or just plain curiosity.


texts: Follower's items disappear after "The Final Descent" quest

texts:
Before I played said quest, I told my follower to wait outside Raven Rock Mine and then I entered. I completed the quest and read the Black Book. When I was at the point where I could choose a Black Book perk, I chose the one that makes me do no damage to my follower. When I exited the Black Book, I came back to the point where I first read it. Surprisingly, my follower, Illia, was standing there as well, but with none of the armor/items I gave her, only her standard robes and spells.

I could reload from where I left her outside the Mine but I think the same thing will happen after I do the quest. Also, checking the wiki, I found this bug: "Her inventory is known to reset."

If anyone knows a way of completing the quest without her inventory disappearing, that would be great (because the Bloodskal blade is awesome!).

Civilization 5 insists that I can only set portrait-style resolutions (such as 1200x1920), presumably since one of my screens is in that mode. I would like to be able to play in landscape mode, as originally intended.

WindowResX = 1920
WindowResY = 1280
FullScreen = 0

However, when I start the game it resets to 1024x1280, and overwrites my settings. I assume since complex multi-monitor setups are possible, this should be no problem at all.


texts: MI6 SPEC OPS: What difficulty rating should I use to get 4 stars?

texts:
Playing on the PS3 version of Goldeneye 007 Reloaded.

Just completed my first MI6 OPS mission (station - stealth) and I used default modifiers and got myself two stars for the effort. Bearing in mind I did it in about 3.5 mins, what do I need to do to get 4 stars?

I know making it more difficult will probably do the trick, but what "Difficulty Rating" do I want to aim for to make 4 stars achievable?

EDIT: On the same mission (station) I upped all the mods except "Enemy Health" (so I could still get head shot kills) and this gave me a difficulty rating of 2448 - I did this in 3 mins 27 secs and still only got 2 stars, my final score was around 35000.

Are there any factors other than speed that contribute to a high score? Such as killing with subdue, accuracy etc.

 However, upon rewatching the intro I noticed she was in the hotel during the Merlaut job (!!), wearing a trenchcoat and playing with her cell-phone (which in this game basically equates to being a hacker)

 Whoa, what!?  I thought the other hacker was Iraq!? And I don't remember there being any mention of Poppy being a hacker.

What's going on here!?  Did I miss a subtle clue somewhere?  Or is this explained in one of the (many) DLC I don't have or audio logs I missed?

texts: The second tab of the kittens game is where I force my kittens into labor. I noticed the name change sometimes but wasn't sure if my mind played tricks with me. Recently it happened again, and I know for sure now. Is this due to updates of the game, or related to some other in-game property?


texts:
No, actually I didn't, but that was a close call and I'm really curious how would one go about that one.

On my third or fourth visit to the Nether, I still didn't realize the risk, and didn't place marks that would help me get back to the origin (currently I like to use flint and iron to create big flaming arrows towards the exit, visible from afar.) I wandered past one hill, and then I couldn't locate the place I came from. I wisened up and started placing marks in form of torches, towers of netherrack with glowstones on top etc. The bunch of wood I had in my stash has proven invaluable as I ran out of steaks, and had to craft a bowl and start making mushroom soup. I realized the fastest way back would be to simply die, but since I had no clue where I was, that would mean losing my quite precious equipment, which cost me a lot of time and effort to gather and enchant, for that trip specifically. I also knew I had traveled rather far from the portal before starting placing marks, so the chances of finding it again by going in any random direction were rather slim.

By sheer luck I found one of the caverns I had explored before, and found my way back, but that was really a close call and I'd prefer to know any hints what to do in Nether if you're already lost (no Obsidian to build a new portal, not willing to die and forgot the direction to the exit.)


texts: How do I get the treasure in the Waterways secret section of Aquan Ruins(3-7)?

texts:
Having braved deadly lava pools and spooky silent churches, I would have never thought that I would find myself stuck in the waterways crawling around in search of treasure, yet here I am.

I bought myself a hint and it told me that I should...

  "Be merciful. This time."

However, I've tried killing only the ghosts without inflicting any harm on the poor hedgehogs that run around throughout the whole level, since killing them is not required to complete the level. This is how I interpreted the hint, and yet this seems to not be the solution since I haven't gotten the treasure.

I've also tried fishing around the Waterways but that seems irrelevant to the hint and nothing special seems to happen.

How do I find the secret treasure here?

texts: What is the Java Edition method of Bedrock Edition's /ride command?

texts:
Story
We all know that for the most part, the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft has a very limited command supply, and no NBT access from commands. However, Bedrock Edition has gained a unique trick as of the 1.16.100 update: the /ride command. What is it used for? Let the Minecraft Wiki explain:

Used to make entities ride other entities, stop entities from riding, make rides evict their riders, or summon rides or riders.

Problem
In Java Edition, the /ride command doesn't exist, which makes it one of the only Bedrock Edition-exclusive commands. While it may be easy to summon stacked entities through commands like these, nothing has been documented yet to make two existing entities ride each other.
Let's show you a few /ride command samples, and the ones that you must find Java Edition workarounds for:

ride <riders: target> start_riding <ride: target> [teleportRules: TeleportRules] [howToFill: FillType]

This command is used to select two existing entities and make them ride on top of each other. rider rides on top of ride, and teleportRules shows whether to make the passenger move to the ride to begin riding, or vice versa. fillRules comes into effect if multiple riders are specified, but we won't need that much detail.
Java Edition equivalent: Unknown. This question's task is for you to find or create a command contraption that will emulate the behaviour above!

ride <riders: target> stop_riding
ride <rides: target> evict_riders

These commands are very similar, so I've grouped them as part of one example. They are used to end rides and make riders dismount from their rides. You either target some passengers or some rides, and use evict riders if you're targeting the rides, or use stop_riding if you're targeting the passengers. The selected entities will dismount from their rides, or evict the rider immediately on top of them.
Java Edition equivalent: Unknown. This question's task is for you to find or create a command contraption that will emulate the behaviour above!

ride <rides: target> summon_rider <entityType: EntityType> [spawnEvent: string] [nameTag: string]
ride <riders: target> summon_ride <entityType: EntityType> [rideRules: RideRules] [spawnEvent: string] [nameTag: string]

These two syntaxes are used if you have either the passenger or the ride, but not both, and want to summon the other and begin a ride.
Java Edition equivalent: If you are working from scratch (no entities at all), you can summon a ride with a passenger on it with one command, like so:
summon cow ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:"minecraft:pig"}]}

Core question
How can one achieve the effects of BE's /ride command using only Java Edition commands?
Rules:

When creating your JE alternative for syntax #1 above, don't cheat by killing the entity and summoning it as a rider or ride. I need a legitimate move, not a clone and delete.
The official /ride command is restricted to ride combinations available in survival Minecraft. Please do not implement such restrictions on your workaround, because we are already able to summon entities with arbitrary passengers!
If you've found a solution for one of the above, but not all three, please still post the answer to the one you've found! That way, we can all know sooner.
From a post on Reddit on player NBT, modifying player data could potentially kick the player out of the game and force them to log back on. Don't make your command machine do this!


texts: How can I destroy an empire-level title?

texts:
I'm trying to cause the destruction of an empire-level title (say Byzantine Empire), to create the Latin Empire organically instead of starting with it. As ERE is (still) large, conquering all of it would take enough time, and I already fulfill the other requirements to form the Latin Empire.

What would be an efficient way to destroy the title without too much war effort? One solution I was thinking about is taking away all county-level holdings from the current emperor through wars, but I'm not entirely sure it will work, and it would take some years to get to that point with the current state of affairs.

Will this work? Are other ways to go about it?

texts: What steps am I missing to make TF2 render a demo as h264?

texts:
I have a demo file created with record ... and I wish to convert it to a movie.

I can render as numerous TGA files. I have downloaded and installed latest version of QuickTime Player and rebooted the machine.

In Team Fortress 2 in Windowed mode, I then use the following steps:

startmovie e1 h264  (reports that frames will be captured after clearing the console)
playdemo demo (plays the demo)
endmovie  (closes the movie)

Nothing named along e1 is now present in the steam folder next to the demo.

From https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Demo_Video_Creation I understand there should be a codec window somewhere, which I do not see.  The documentation for this feature seems to be rather weak and I might have been looking at outdated information.

Platform is Windows 7 x86. What should I try next?


texts: Is character customisation different between Smash Ultimate and Smash Wii U / 3DS?

texts:
I've watched a bit of Super Smash Bros Ultimate gameplay and wanted to ask a bit about the game. I feel one of the most important parts of the Wii U and 3DS versions was the ability to challenge people using the customizations that you worked hard to get the equipment and specials for. I want to find out if the customization feature is any different from the 3DS and Wii U games, and check there is no way that it has been downgraded.

I've seen that the game offers a mode called World of Light, in which you can gain spirits that give you stats and abilities. Can these spirits be used in multiplayer?

The game seems to be amiibo compatible, but I don't know if their functionality is the same or not. Are amiibo that are setup for the previous two Smash games compatible and is their functionality any different?

Thanks for any help.

The problem I have is, AFT lets me have multiple followers. But the dialogue option for Blades initiation with Delphine assumes I only have one follower. When I select this option, only one of my current followers is inducted, so AFT and/or Skyrim are picking one of my followers somehow. Is there some way I can influence this decision, or is the follower always picked effectively at random?

texts: If I delete an existing chunk with MC Edit in my pre-1.8 save, will the new landscape in 1.8 line up with it?

texts:
As Omokoii's answer to this question suggests, you can use MC Edit to delete existing chunks in an old save so that, once 1.8 is out, those chunks will be generated anew, and they should respect the new version's additional landscape and other world-building features, like villages and the new biome. However, Ullallulloo pointed out that random seeds will generate different worlds in 1.8 than they used to, so deleted chunks will not be recreated exactly as they were.

Does that mean that new chunks will not line up seamlessly with old chunks? Just how abrupt will the transition from the old landscape to the new landscape be?

Should I choose the two "10" Warchiefs before the "11" ones or is that just too fussy? Assuming that a "10" is hard for me, is it suicidal for me to think about knocking off that jerk 18-strength nemesis?


texts:
Hangover is essentially Hades version of poison, and is the main theme for the god Dionysus. Different sources of Hangover will inflict differing  amounts of damage-per-tick (i.e. hangover inflicted by your special is more damaging than hangover inflicted by your dash), and it can stack up to 5 times. The part I'm unclear on, since the game doesn't explain it, is how hangover effects stack when that damage is coming from multiple sources.
I can think of a few different ways it could work, with the two mostly candidates being that either the oldest stack is overwritten, or the lowest damage stack is overridden. If it's the former, then combining multiple sources of hangover can actually be really bad, since using anything but your highest damage Hangover attack would actually be lowering your Hangover damage-per-tick.
This would be easy to test if you actually could actually use boons against Skelly, but you can't, so the only option is testing in combat. Considering how fast past the game is, that's a task easier said than done.
How do different sources of  Hangover stack?

texts: Play Games on Integrated Graphics Instead of Dedicated GPU?

texts:
so I just installed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and it was my first game download ever, and I want to try the Multi-player. The problem is my dedicated GPU is too outdated and unable to handle the game with a playable FPS even with the settings cranked down to 720p-very low , my dedicated GPU is Nvidia mx-130 with 2GB VRAM, I wanted to run the game on my CPU (at least give it a try).
and yes I do understand that this game is incredibly graphic intense, but I want to give it a try on my integrated graphics which have 2GB more than my dedicated one (Intel UHD 4GB VRAM)
I tried to make the game use my internal GPU but:

in-game settings doesn't even list Intel UHD as an option, the only option is the Nvidia.
in windows settings -> graphic settings, I chose

power saving: Intel UHD

to run the game, but the game will boot with my Nvidia option available only.

inside Nvidia control panel, I selected (use integrated graphic) for both warzone and it's launcher but it does nothing.

sometime when I change both windows and Nvidia control together to Intel UHD option, the game suggest to run in safe mode or ask to adapt with new changes, then the game will crash regardless if I chose Yes or NO for any dialog option, what can I do now if I want to give it a try on my integrated graphics in this condition?
*as i mentioned i run the game in 720p-very low preset

Just need a nether wart farm, and a sugar farm and I should be able to create Switness potions that each produce 64000 RF...  Is there a better option I should try?  I was going to do baked potato farm to a culinary generator, but that looks to only make 21600 RF per potato...  But if potatoes grow faster, then nether wart, it'll be "more efficent".  Thoughts?

Before setting out on an adventure, you can customize what you bring with you.  After a bit, you eventually have multiple forms of weaponry (bone spear, iron sword, etc).  Each has it's own weight so carrying multiples could end up being an issue.

Ranged weapons have obvious benefits since there are different types of ammunition, but for melee, it seems only the best weapon is used.


texts: Can't complete the Unbiden crisis - unconquerable planet

texts:
During the Unbidden crisis, the initial portal spawned in a system that had one colonised planet. After dealing with the Unbidden fleets and the portal, this planet stays as occupied by Unbidden, why nominally belonging to another empire.

Yet the population on this planet hasn't been exterminated - in fact it seems that no one can do anything about this planet! There are about dozen fleets from all empires hovering above it, yet there is no option to actually land and attack, with tooltip saying that I can't invade a neutral empire.

I've tried to declare war at the empire nominally owning this planet but even with that, I had no option of landing armies or using colossus on this planet - this time the planet doesn't even react on the right click to give such option.

Is there a way to fix this somehow? I can't load old saves, I'm playing in Ironman mode

texts: My dwarves have turned into gummi-bears!

texts:
So I'm playing a succession game, using just about the latest version of DF. I just received the save file and my dwarves have turned into Gummi-Bears. I had been using the Ironhand tileset without trouble, and we have only been passing the region file (from /data/save/region1). What can I do to fix this?

texts: Do I Need To Purchase Premium Boosters to Win at Campaign/Multiplayer

texts:
Magic: Duels of the Planeswalker 2015's introduced a new system of deckbuilding that allows "complete construction". However, as part of this, it inevitably made certain cards "premium" and only available if you spend another £18. While obviously I'd rather have all the cards without paying more than the retail price, I'm okay with the current situation, as long as a deck built from premiums will not be inevitably superior than one without.

Can I still build a competitive deck without paying extra?


texts: Can I continue playing Magic 2015 on other device or platform?

texts:
I started playing Magic 2015 for Android on my smartphone. Now I installed the same app on my Android tablet also and used the same Google Play account for login.

Somehow I anticipated to be able to continue playing where I left off on my phone. I was wrong, I had to start from scratch again.

Is there any way I can achieve this - to continue playing cross-device - or is this just completely separate? If it is possible for this case, what about the PC version or any console?

texts: Queue multiple attacks with fleet works but landing army cannot queue multiple planet invasions

texts:
The UI lets me select a landing battalion and queue (using the shift key) multiple planned landings on different planets ("let's me" as in: I can see the red path with each step show up).

However, in practice the army will only land on the last planet in the queue.

Whereas can queue up to 10 (or more?) solar systems to conquest with your naval fleet / attack / move commands and they will be diligently run through in the order that you gave.

Why is this?


texts: How Do I Install Stronghold 3 Gold Without A Key Code?

texts:

Well, everything was going fine until Steam required a CD-key - I didn't get one - on a completely new, still shrink-wrapped, PC DVD.

What options do I have, here?  How can I play this?

texts: Is there an opposite to the "Weather Boost"?

texts:
So, depending on the weather, certain Pokemon gain a "Weather Boost", giving them higher CPs, making them harder to catch, spawning more regularly, reward more stardust, etc. For example, on Sunny Days, Fire types gain the Weather Boost.

However, I was wondering if there was an opposite of this? So, for example when it's raining, Fire types receive a debuff, potentially caucusing them to spawn with lower than average CPs and such?

texts: ZvP: Gateway aggro -> Phoenix -> Robo deathball: What went wrong?

texts:
I'm a platinum zerg having trouble dealing with protoss lategame. Previously I always did
Stephano's 12:00 roach max, which worked most of the time, but now I want to learn to play standard. So now I'm at an impasse here with the protoss deathball. I just can't beat it. I think my scouting may be an issue here - I sometimes overreact or underreact.

Replay 1: click here

I sent a 10 drone scout, which saw a gateway expand, so I went 3 hatch before pool, with a 5:40 roach warren to defend timings.

When I saw multiple gateways in my opponents wall, I produced roach/ling to defend, but I think I overproduced and came out behind. How do I know how much defense is necessary to defend early-midgame gateway pressure? And if they don't attack, and just sit with there units, how do I know when I can start droning again? Or maybe in this scenario I should just keep producing units and trickle in the drones instead.

Anyways, I ended up defending my opponents gateway aggression with too many units left over, which soon became useless. I droned up my third once I dealt with the zealots. Since I saw robo units when I counterattacked, I went for an infestation pit and produced mass static defense for a transition to swarm hosts.

I've seen Catz defuse the deathball this way on his stream using swarmhost/spine/spore/viper/infestor/hydra, so I tried it too. I felt my lack of APM was a large factor in my loss. If I played faster I could have a lot more static defense ready, dealt with their harass and micro'd better against feedbacks, but this is platinum and nobody knows what they're doing.

I'm sure my opponent made a lot of strategic errors that I could have exploited, but I don't know where they are. APM will be developed the more I play, nothing I can do about that. In lieu of more APM, what strategic errors did my opponent make, and how do I recognize and exploit them?

Replay 2: click here

This game was against the same player, who went for the same opening again.
Gateway expand -> zealot pressure -> phoenix -> Robo deathball.

Here I tried roach/hydra into vipers, which failed miserably. Colossus just melted everything. What could I have done better?

Please don't tell me I need to brush up on my mechanics, that's pretty obvious. We had similar APM and I'm sure my opponent made a lot of strategic errors too, I just need to know where they are. Thanks for your replies.

texts: Can I disable the Steam Community notification in Big Picture Mode with PS4 controller playing Diablo 2

texts:
I decided to try Steam because it has a nice controller mapping feature to Big Picture Mode.

So what I did:

Mapped the keys to PS4 controller for Diablo II config
Enabled Steam Overlay (in both the global and game settings, this has to be enabled for the controller to work at all)
Open Big Picture Mode
Run Diablo II
Game works perfectly using the PS4 controller until I get a HUD notification

  Press Shift + Tab to access community

This happens about 30 seconds into the gameplay... my controller suddenly stops responding; I then have to use my mouse to quit the game and try again.

If somehow I could disable that notification, I think this would work perfectly.

Has anyone had a similar issue or maybe some insight?

It is so frustrating because it works, but the notification disables it.

A part of me thinks being on a Mac could be an issue, but for those of you that don't know, Blizzard released a Mac version of Diablo 2 and it essentially works the same as the .exe on Windows.

You can even pass command line arguments; I've tried to run a couple of them (through Steam) Diablo II -glide and Diablo II -w and it doesn't fix this issue.

My cousin gave me some items and since my main character's inventory was full I made a new character so I didn't have to go through all my chests and put things away (playing on iOS, so there is no quick stack button ).

So I get the items and I get off my cousin's world and I go onto my world, which is stored in the cloud so I can access it from all my devices.
I put the items in the chest and then log out. I then log back into that world with my main character and look in the chest to exchange the better items and whatnot but the items were gone.

Anyone know what happened? lots of things were lost :(


texts: Have two Minecraft players coexist at separate times in the same local server

texts:
There's only one computer in the house. My brother and I play Minecraft on it using the same account. Up to this day, I play on my world, and he plays on his own (which just so happens to be the same seed, thereby the same world).

I want to know if it's possible to turn this world into a local server (or just recreate a world and make it into a server) and then have make it so that he can log into it and build things. Then he logs out, and I log into that same server, and see the progress he's made, and make my own. In essence, we wouldn't be playing at the same time, but we would coexist in the same server. Is that possible? If so, how?

texts: Can I determine 'not 100% charged' using AE2 fuzzy logic upgrades in export buses?

texts:
I'm trying to automate the charging of all my gear, because it's getting tiring to toss each thing into a different MFE/MFSU, wait for it to charge, then remember to pick it up.

I know that a charging station exists as an add-on for IndustrialCraft 2 experimental, but I'd rather build my own, and I don't know if it has even been ported to 1.7.2 / 1.7.10. So, I did some experimenting, and I determined that I can automate this to some extent. I set up an ad-hoc network using an ME chest, and some import / export buses:

Basically, I can toss any completely depleted item into the ME chest, it gets picked up by export buses, placed in one of the MFSUs, where an import bus programmed to pull the item once 100% charged places it back into the ME chest. This works perfectly, I can toss stuff in the chest, go do other things, then come back to find my gear fully charged.

However, it only works if the gear is completely out of power. I've tried several configurations with fuzzy logic upgrades in the export buses (which put the items into the MFSUs), so that any item with only a partial charge gets picked up, but I'm not having a lot of luck. They're not getting picked up.

What I did was, took one of each item at 50% charge, told the fuzzy logic card to split the damage at 25%, which I thought would have worked. I then tried the other options without success. Getting these items into various states of charge to continue experimenting is a bit tedious, so I'm wondering if anyone has successfully automated charging of stuff using AE2.

Note, I have checked my channels, I'm only using 7 (including the chest). The buses are all lit up and operational.

texts: How do I change player name in minecraft multiplayer in offline mode in Linux?

texts:
I have a small Minecraft server (beta 1.5), and every time I log in via offline mode from a client, my name is "Player". How can I change that?

I know of a way to do it in Windows but it doesn't help.

The major problem is when others connect to my server they take "Player" as a name and it kicks me off.

The server's property is set to:

online-mode=false

I can't change this to true.

I'm running the latest version of Ubuntu, and running the client from the terminal using the following command (EDIT: running with sudo, not a good idea, I know...need to get that fixed):

sudo ./minecraft-1.5.jar

EDIT: I found the code that I was talking about but it never worked for me:

java -cp ~/.minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar:~/.minecraft/bin/lwjgl.jar:~/.minecraft/bin/lwjgl_util.jar:~/.minecraft/bin/jinput.jar: -Djava.library.path=~/.minecraft/bin/natives -Xmx1024M -Xms512M net.minecraft.client.Minecraft '"'$USER'"'

and for Windows:

java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -cp "%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\*" -Djava.library.path="%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\natives" net.minecraft.client.Minecraft '"'%1'"'

Latest update: it works!

I didn't realize that the first part (starting with -cp), was the folder that I ran my game from was the wrong directory, remember that I start the game with sudo, that was the reason I failed, it should have been:

/root/.minecraft/bin/*

Also I have to run this with 'sudo' or it won't work...the errors pile up, which as it turns out, and I didn't realize, is because it couldn't find any main class files, which I figured out rereading the man for 'java'

As a side win, this code now allows me to press the "Quit" button which was missing because of the way I started the game in the terminal.

texts: Is there any way to prevent Minecraft from caching DNS ?

texts:
I have a Minecraft server hosted in my local network, and a hostname associated to it on a dns server.

When I change the dns record and update the ip of the server (new ip, same hostname), Minecraft still uses the old ip (I see it in the log console) and therefor won't connect to the server. When I use nsloockup on my computer (I'm on OSX), the hostname resolves to the right ip.

I've tried to set -Dsun.net.inetaddr.ttl=0 and -Dnetworkaddress.cache.ttl=0 in my JVM arguments, but it makes no difference.

Is there any way to clear Minecraft cached dns or to disable dns cashing completely ?

texts: How do I set up a pond for efficient drainage?

texts:
I currently have two large ponds filled with water to depth 7 that I need to get drained.  Because I didn't think very hard about how liquid flow works, the out pipe on the one is one tile wide, controlled by a floodgate, and it's draining really slowly.  The other one doesn't have an out pipe yet, but I had pretty much the same plan.

I'm thinking there must be a more efficient way to do this.  Do I simply need a wider out-pipe?  If so, can I connect multiple floodgates to one lever?  (I'm favoring mechanical simplicity here.)  Or is there an even better way?  Assume that my pond isn't actually flooded, so a good pre-flooding setup will work too.

Here's a picture of the more interesting pond:

This one is directly below my trap-filled maze, hence all the ballista arrows, blood and corpses.  I flooded it for a long siege which just finished up.  The larger body of water to the north is the river, with its floodgate closed.  The out pipe goes off to the west and ends at a floodgate (open) and a fortification (flooded).  The tubes are weirdly shaped because that red ore is delicious hematite.  And yes, my pond of death is adjacent to my bedroom area.

texts: Valuation of Iron Grip passive for ranger (dex-based) bow builds

texts:
Under which conditions should a ranger (usually dex-based) consider taking the Iron Grip passive?

With around 200 Str, Iron Grip would add another 40% projectile damage - I was tempted by this until reading an analysis of just how underpowered it is, considering the several nodes needed to reach it for dex-based builds ... with 5 pts to traverse it becomes a measly 8% damage boost per node.

There are several factors that I can't analyze well for the trade-offs concerned, such as

With Iron Grip, there is more justification to take Str nodes - this also raises life, and there is some decent max life scaling near that area too
Utmost Strength cluster nearby could boost the life/dmg values higher
A major reason for me to pass it up, is because I gave up on a generic 'projectile tree' (to try wander later) and am going for bow nodes; maybe its better for non-bow builds?
Not sure if any dex-based builds would use Resolute Technique, but if so then I can see Iron Grip being an easier pick-up and also more useful

Also, are there conditions under which a crit bow build would benefit enough to take IG with an investment of 5-7 pts?

texts: Will a normal electric guitar work with Rock Band 3?

texts:
I've seen a couple of articles that talk about the guitar controllers for Rock Band 3.

Option 1 (the Mustang): A plastic controller in the style of the current controllers, but with buttons for every string and fret (egad!)

Option 2 (the Squire): A real electric guitar that has been designed specifically to work with the game...so it has some modifications that make it slightly different than a normal electric guitar.  (a "mute" pad, to muffle the strings during gameplay, an xbox gamepad, and maybe some other things.  It sounds like this guitar is a Midi guitar.

An earlier article I read seemed to indicate that a normal electric guitar would also work, so long as a $40 "modification kit" was purchased.  But I haven't seen mention of this in a while.

My question is will a "normal" electric guitar work with Rock Band 3?  If this mysterious "modification kit" is purchased?  How about a Midi electric?

texts:
I'm playing sandbox mode in Tropico 4 with the modern times buildings enabled, and as time goes on I keep unlocking more of then.

My questions is once I unlock a certain building, such as the solar power plant, can I still build the thing it replaces, such as the wind turbine?


texts: I am now in chapter 2 in Far Cry 3 (Harvest the Jungle). Here I need a gun or weapon to kill Boar but I am not able to select any weapon except grenades. Could someone help with this?


texts: Is There Any Way To Get Around Effects of Character Warping in Creation Mode?

texts:
I just spent upwards of 20 minutes trying to place a flower on Leixia's shoulder in a custom costume.  The problem I ran into (and never really got around), is that Leixia's breast jiggle during her fighting stance doesn't appear to affect only her breasts: the character mesh of her neck and shoulders seems to be affected as well.

Basically, I wasn't able to successfully place a flower on the front of her shoulder in such a way that, during her battle animation, it didn't disappear inside her shoulder, and then reappear repeatedly as she bounces from side to side.

Is there any way to minimize the effects of character warping when creating custom costumes, short of equipping 'solid armor' to the character as outlined here?  Some of these warping effects make it really difficult to avoid strange behaviour when placing accessories on custom characters.

I have a 3DS XL and I also have a Nintendo Network ID linked to it. I'm planning on trading it in to get a new 3DS XL. Would I have to do a system transfer to get my Nintendo Network ID if I deleted it off the system? If I got the new system and deleted my Nintendo Network ID off my previous 3DS, could I just put my Nintendo ID on my new system and link it that way?

Also, if you could link it to your system, will it save my purchases I've already made on my ID and would I be able to download it?


texts: What are the requirements to unlock the seasonal transmorg reward?

texts:
In one of the latest blogs about Patch 2.1, Blizzard said that we can unlock a seasonal transmogrification set by competing in the season.

  Seasons offer unique rewards and new challenges for players, including new Legendaries, an exclusive Transmogrification set only available to those who compete in each Season, and new achievements called Conquests. Progress within a given Season will also be tracked in our new Leaderboard system.

What exactly are the requirements to unlock this set?


texts: What is a good rifle in Fallout New Vegas?

texts:
Currently I'm using the "AER14 Prototype" and while it hits quite hard I'm wondering if there's anything better?

I've also got the "All American" assault rifle but in single shot mode it feels quite weak. I've just picked up the "YCS/186" and while that seems to be very powerful I think the 1 shot, reload aspect will drive me mad.

Can anyone tell me a good rifle for me to carry around? It can be an energy weapon or a normal gun as I've got skill points in both.


texts: What super cars in GTA Online can have the armoured window upgrade?

texts:
While playing GTA Online, in one of the loading screens I got a message that some cars in Legendary Motorsport have the armoured window upgrade, but I couldn't find out which cars are, can you tell me?

I'm looking for anything that can be fast and also armoured so I can use on missions, tired of using Kirin all the time. Oh, and I don't want SUVs or Insurgent because they're not that fast.


texts: Good places / ways for a low level player to collect ingots (or rings) in Anarchy Online

texts:
I'm trying to make some money making jewelery but creations don't cover the production costs because I only have access to QL 1 ingots/rings.

Where / How can I obtain ingots/rings and jems of better QLs as a low level player (~ lvl 20)?

I've seen them occasionally drop from mission mobs but I'd rather not trust in fate if there's a better way.


texts: How do I defeat the regenerating enemy close to the Infiltrator boss fight?

texts:
In Lords of the Fallen, there is an enemy at a stairway close to the Infiltrator boss fight. He's holding a two-handed weapon and is quite aggressive. As soon as his health bar is depleted, instead of dieing he will punch the ground three or four times and return at full health. Standing close to him during his regeneration will stun me and he takes no damage until his health bar is full again.

What do I have to do to defeat him?


texts: Are draw delays, during my turn to draw, displayed to the other user/opponent?

texts:
If I delay whilst it is my turn to draw in Draw Something, is the delay transmitted to the other user?

Example - I start drawing, but I am then away from my device for 5 minutes to put the kettle on. I then complete my masterpiece when I return. In this scenario, would the other user (opponent?) have a 5 minute delay when watching me draw? Or is this delay "cut" from the game?


texts: What is the standard team composition for a conquest game?

texts:
I'm very new to Smite, and I'm wondering if there is some kind of standard team composition in high level play, comparable to the top, jungle, mid, dual lane meta in LoL.

What are the roles, and where should they go to start the game?


texts: How does the Troll Blacksmith's "reforging" work?

texts:
The Troll Blacksmith offers to "reforge 2 items and turn them into one of better quality". Before I permanently do stuff to my items I want to better understand how it works, and specifically:

I am required to "Select 2 items of the same type". What qualifies as the same type? e.g. can I use two weapons or do I have to select the exact weapon type? What about rings? Armors?
What, exactly, does it do? Does it produce a single item with +1 more than the strongest item? What happens if I give one (or more) cursed item to reforge?
Does the reforging has a chance to destroy enchantments, like the Scroll of Upgrade works?


texts: Which weapons have extended magazines available for unlock?

texts: For example most of the LMG's do. Some SMG's do. Has anybody compiled a list?
