texts: High CPU load on Civilization: Beyond Earth

texts:
Civilization V and now Beyond Earth share the same kind-of performance-related issue. That is, when they run for 3-5 minutes, the game starts to consume so much CPU time, that it causes the laptop CPU fans to run high RPMs, therefore draining the battery life dramatically. Even if I set the Power Saver mode, the CPU is still being overheated. This is observed by me on the different laptops, that I assume everyone has the same behavior of the hardware on laptops.

I have a MacBook Pro (on Windows, Bootcamp) that usually lasts for 5 hours in a non CPU-intensive gaming mode. Is there a way I could tweak the system so that it never gives the game enough CPU time to heat the processor and therefore drain battery within 40 minutes or so? I see that it is related a lot to graphics engine in Civilization, but maybe Python gurus know a way around it. Thanks in advance.


texts: Do ring bonuses stack if wearing the same ring twice?

texts: While playing as a Freerunner, I acquired a second Ring of Shadows +1. Naturally, having an open slot, I equipped it. Now, does Pixel Dungeon only read the highest of the two rings or does it add the two upgrade levels together?


texts:
Recently, DayZ has become easier to use via the Six Launcher.

There are times when servers appear to be greyed out. At first, I thought this was due to a version mismatch. Unfortunately, this is not the case, as is evident by this picture:

Two servers with two differing Versions are greyed out. Several other servers with those exact same versions are not greyed out.

What causes these servers to go grey?


texts: Are the chances for all cards equal in YGO Power of Chaos (and the Expansions)

texts:
I wonder if the chances for specific cards are lower or higher than others in Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos (any of the trilogy).
You get 3 cards after a BO3-match (if won) and in the 3 there will never be duplicates. (but you can of course collect more than 1 over the course of more matches)
Since there are 155/315 in the first 2 games the chances to get a specific card should be ~1:50 and 1:105 respectively.
But I I have my doubts that the RNG is flawless. (I hunt for a specific card to get 3 of them and already have almost all cards at 3, but this at 1 only)
I know I can just unlock all cards, but I want to play my way through.
So... are the chances equal? Can I influence what I get with what I play?
The card which I hunt is Elegant Egoist (to summon Harpie Lady Sisters)

texts: What are the differences between Story Mode and Speedrun Mode?

texts:
I've played through Rabi-Ribi a couple of times in various difficulties with various objectives. I was planning to attempt getting the Speedrun achievements next by completing the game in Casual Alternative mode and then starting a New Game+ to attempt the actual speedrun in Loop 2 (as suggested in the comments on this page).

A few minutes into the game, I started wondering if I should have started it in Speedrun Mode rather than Story Mode, mostly to make my save files easier to identify. This raised the question: Is there any major gameplay difference between the to modes?

I've only looked into speedrun mode for a short amount of time, and so far the only differences I noticed are that it auto-skips cutscenes and displays a timer and keeps track of your completion stats at the top of the screen. Does anything else change, or does this mode only make things more convenient for speedrunners?

What I'd like to know is if I can still get regular achievements in speedrun mode, and if I can keep playing it after the post game is completed (to start a New Game+, among other things).


texts:
I love KH, but as has been pointed out before, it adds a lot of lore to it. The video linked in the article seemed to know more about the Keyblade War than I thought was known. The only thing I know about it at this point is that it was a war between Keyblade wielders and was sort of a Light-vs-Dark-but-no-one-wins kind of thing.

So, this leads me to, what do we officially know about the Keyblade War? What was it about, who started it, the whole shebang.


texts:
I am founding my first Pantheon on Civ 5. I have a lot of salt within my borders and one of the bonuses is:

  Stone Circles: +2 Faith from Quarries

What defines a quarry? Is it only when mining stone, or do salt, marble, diamonds etc count?


texts: Will the AI go for an impossible victory?

texts:
When you set up a game, you can choose which victory types you want enabled.

Will the AI ever attempt to achieve a victory type that is disabled?

For instance, if the only victory type that is enabled is domination, will every AI player attempt to go the military route and crush all other players?

My singleplayer gameplay experience suggest that all of the AI players aren't trying for all-out war.

I find myself unable to harvest/forage bushes that appear to have fruits.

In the summer there are bushes with pink berry looking dots and all I can do is shake it - nothing pops off.

I'm a forager level 5 - am I perhaps too low? Is there some event that triggers this ability?

The bushes in question look like these:


texts: How do I share quests with my friends in Star Wars: The Old Republic?

texts:
I'm just starting out Star Wars: The Old Republic for the first time and would like to share quest progress with my friends. We tried to get our starting missions shared (the ones on the Jedi planet), but the cutscenes and such weren't shared.

How can we share these quests so that we can both contribute to them and see the cutscenes?


texts: Can a spy reach the shack outside the second spawn point in CP Granary?

texts:
While discussing sentry jumping and the ethicality thereof, Transall claims that…

There's a bunch of junk to the side of [Granary's second spawn point] ledge that [spies] can use to jump onto it.
Edit: Just looked and it's only true for blu's spawn. You can still get up to the boxes by taking the ramp in the garage.

I'm having trouble making heads or tails of this. Here's the relevant screenshot:

Sure, I can jump onto the tires and that might let me get a poorly placed teleporter, but that seems to be it. I also can't find the "garage ramp" Transall refers to.
Can a spy reach the other team's ledge?


texts: I recently started Death Stranding, I am at chapter two. I seem to have a faint memory of reading that there is a way to head out without BB? (it was about getting around the map and BTs without the help of BB I think, strangely now I can't seem to find anything about it, only a video where BB is not present on youtube) As far as I have progressed in the game, it seems to not be an option not to take BB with me. I know it is somewhat tied to the story, but will there be an option later in the game to leave BB in the private room or does Sam carry it with him all the time?


texts: Is there a way to know the email of "parent" in battle net account

texts:
I want to test auction house in Diablo III. It says that I am blocked by my "parent"

I am 35 years old. There is no way there is a parental control there. Even if there is, I'll just sign in as parent and open it.

I keep asking for email to get the parental control but I never get any email. Not to my main Battle.net account. Maybe it's sent to the so called "parent's" email. But what's the parent's email? Who knows.

I asked Battle.net support. It's been more than 2 days with no answer.


texts: How do I unlock the Distant Friends Achievement?

texts: One of the last achievements I have to unlock is the "Distant Friends" achievement. Most other achievements have a description explaining what you have to do to unlock them, but this one is pretty vague. I looked it up online and it sounds like it involves breaking specific mountains... but the details are not clear to me. How do I unlock this achievement?


texts: How do I attack Skulltulas sitting on their webs?

texts:
I can't seem to figure out how to attack the Skulltulas who are sitting on their webs. I tried various different directions of sword slashes with no effect (on the enemy - it usually ended with me losing hearts as they bounced and hit me).

What do I do to kill them? At some point, I would really like to get past the first dungeon! I am looking for the exact type of sword slash or weapon I need to use.


texts: I have a wizard and I want use him to kite around the enemies. I am wondering whether the slowing 60% snare from blizzard with rune will stack with the 30% snare from Temporal Flux, if I hit the target with a magic missile.

texts: I get disconnected from LAN every few minutes

texts: I'm trying to play a LAN server with my sibling, but every few minutes, I lag then get disconnected.  It tells me that the connection was forcibly closed by a remote host.  We have the same wifi, and also I have let Java through firewall on both computers.  We run 1.10.2 and Windows 10.


texts: How far ahead can I skip in multiplayer games, and are there any disadvantages to doing so?

texts:
As usual, some of my friends are racing ahead through the story while I'm stuck at work earning a living. Now, I'm aware that you can't join somebody who is playing a later act, but what about joining somebody at a later point in the same act?

In Diablo II, you could skip straight from the beginning of an act to the last boss if there was somebody else in the game to portal to. Has this changed in Diablo 3, and if so, what are the new rules/mechanics involved?

texts: What are the trails on the ground in Eagle Vision?

texts: When I'm using Ezio's Eagle Vision (which at this point is only when I'm identifying a Templar Captain), sometimes I see paths or trails on the ground in either red or gold. What are they? Do they have to do with identifying the captain? Or are they just explained later in the game and I haven't gotten there yet?


texts: How can I check the total played time of a character?

texts:
I want to know where or how I can see how long I have played, so far, a certain character. I tried "/played", like in World of Warcraft, but it doesn't work.

Is there a way to find out how long I've played in Diablo III?


texts: How can I fix Fortnite iOS stuttering/freezing/lag?

texts: Sometimes when I play Fortnite on my iPhone X the framerate will get really low, sometimes to the point where it will freeze for a few seconds between frames. Any ideas how to resolve? It didn't do this when I first played.


texts: In Gnomoria is there generally an advantage to walls and doors?

texts:
I tend to mine the heck out of the first few underground levels and use the areas to build workshops.  I usually mine them into one huge area--I'll just place a workshop that creates something next to a store and place that next to the workshop that consumes it with no walls in sight.

When I see other peoples maps they often build walls to enclose the workshops.

Is there an advantage to this (aside from aesthetic?)

texts: How do I increase my chances of finding a nametag?

texts:
With fishing in Minecraft, you now have a small chance of finding unusual items like leather, leather armour, enchanted rods and bows, enchanted books, and even saddles and nametags.

I have a rod that has "Luck of the Sea II", which increases my chances of finding "treasure", and decreases my chances of finding "junk". I'm attempting to find a nametag, but so far my attempts have been fairly futile.

What items are considered "treasure" and what is considered "junk", and is there any way of further increasing my chances of find treasure, or even specifically nametags?

texts: How can I change the resolution in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning?

texts:
Whenever I first started playing Kingdoms of Amalur, I noticed the cutscenes only filled about half of my screen. It fit from bottom to top, but on the sides I had black bars similar to a letterbox format DVD. I figured it just did this to get the cutscenes a more cinematic feel; but when the cutscenes ended, the bars didn't go away!

I tried taking a screenshot, but it ignored these black bars altogether. I have a 17" Widescreen monitor and would like to get rid of these annoying bars. Seeing no option to change the resolution in the in-game menus, I'm curious:

Is there any way to fill my screen with this gorgeous game?


texts:
Sometimes I mark such a Mask on the map and run or fly to this point. But I can't find the Mask at this point.

Do you know any handy tips how I can find them by myself?

texts: Is it possible to get very powerful but not repairable items?

texts: In Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 there where some very powerful randomly generated items that could not be repaird as their repair costs were way too high. Is this also true for Diablo 3?


texts: Multiplayer mode glitches, including "lost connections" and inaccessible weapons

texts:
Yesterday I was playing ME3 multiplayer for PS3. I usually use an N7 demolisher engineer with an M-7 lancer, but today when I logged in into the multiplayer, some of my weapons were gone, including the M-7 lancer.

In addition to that, the multiplayer mode in general glitches. It constantly tells me that I lost connection even before I start playing, even though I could connect with no problems at all.

Before this happened, I received two Geth infiltrators: One I used before, and the other says "new". I opened the new one and saw it was the same as my old one. I exited the character appearance screen then the problem happened.

texts: How do you kill the final boss of Guacamelee?

texts:
This Skeleton Face Guy (Caraca?) instantly owns me.

Here's the list of things that you have to deal with all at once in this battle:

He only telegraphs his upcoming attack a few frames before it lands. I have not yet been able to determine how to dodge any of his attacks, even if I could figure out which one is coming in time.
He seems to randomly switch between the world of the living and the world of the dead. So in addition to having a fraction of a second to figure out how to dodge, you also have to in that same time figure out whether you need to switch worlds.
He also seems to randomly change the color of his shield. So in addition to dodging his attack and making sure you're in the right world in a fraction of a second, you also have to figure out what attack to use (which you may not always be in the right position for, given whatever dodging maneuver you have to use) before he disappears, less than a second later.

Seriously? There has to be a trick to this. Nothing else in the game has even approached this level of insane precision and instantaneous reaction.

How do you even touch this guy, let alone kill him?


texts: Is there probation after the full sentence is served?

texts: After an inmate serves his full sentence, is there any sort of probation or supervision where they will have to report, and get permission to move out of state?


texts: When to start or form a teamfight group?

texts: In league of legends you always hit a point where just laning is not profitable enough anymore or it's to dangerous. So many players (obviously) team up and attack with multiple players in a single lane. So team-fights are started. My question would be; is there any sort of criteria for players to make the (game-changing) decision to team up and focus lane or ganks?


texts: How do I log into Pokemon Go if my Gmail account was deactivated?

texts: I had created a Pokemon Go account using a school email account way back when the game came out and I didn't foresee that it would eventually be deleted. I am aware that you can swap emails if you use a real or dummy FaceBook account, but considering that I am currently unable to even log in, this isn't an option at this time. My problem--though honestly somewhat self-inflicted--is this: is there a way to get back into my account? I already contacted Niantic and am awaiting some form of a response to my request, but since it would seem their track record for responding isn't the greatest, I thought I'd pool my resources and see what I can do.


texts:
In Prey you can find Neuromods to purchase upgrades in a skill tree.

There are 3 categories: Scientist, Engineer and Security. All of these have a lot of perks and require multiple neuromods to purchase skills.

I have 2 questions about this ability system:

Are there enough neuromods in the game to purchase all the skills available?
Can I reset my neuromods (early) somehow if I accidentally purchased something wrong.


texts: How long is "a few seconds" for Kill Skills?

texts:
The Kill Skills in Borderlands 2, like BL1, all say they last "a few seconds" and don't give explicit lengths. Since they're not listed in the stats for the skill (as length for Kill Skills doesn't increase) there's no way to tell from the interface alone.

Exactly how long do these skills last? Do they all last the same length across classes?


texts: What can affect a Pokemon's ability to be captured?

texts:
I've noticed that when capturing Pokemon, capture rates are all over the shop. Regardless of CP, sometimes Pokemon will simply refuse to be captured, though they'll stick around for you to try, try, try again, and waste all your balls and berries. Others will get in the ball the first time, on a terrible throw, even though they have a relatively high CP.

Other Pokemon will refuse to sit still; constantly attacking or jumping, and some will immediately flee after the first capture attempt.

I understand there are things at play in regards to badges that can affect capture rates, but my focus is on Pokemon behaviour, in regards to the 3 IV stats - Attack, Defense, and Stamina.

Is there any correlation here? If not, what does affect it?

I've already got it so that a crafting table spawns around your head when you hold the sugar.  Is there any way to make the crafting table invisible without using or interfering with resource packs?


texts: In the old republic, is the better long term strategy commendations or gear?

I tried the following in different combinations
- end with 3000 gold
- using only single unit
- using all available units
- end with general full health
- not using any path moves
- using all path moves
- strategic placement of units and path
- upgraded all units before adding new ones
- bought new units and another spot for them
- end each round with spare time


texts: How to delete your main world on a Minecraft server?

texts: So I'm on a server with multiple artificially created worlds. For example I created a void world for a spawnhub. But now I want to delete the default worlds. Nether, End and World. I can't delete those right now because they keep regenerating after a restart. I want to change the default world to the one with the void. People should also spawn there on initial join. Does anyone have any idea how to do this. I'm using MultiVerse.


texts: What is the blast radius of the Archon's Blazing Pinions attack?

What is the blast radius of the attack around each pillar? I want to know how far away from each pillar I have to move my squad members so that they won't take any damage from the attack.

texts: What is the command (if there is one) to make all blocks in a world unbreakable against explosions?

texts: I am making an adventure world that is players versus monsters. I understand adventure mode doesn't allow players to break blocks, but not monsters. I would like to keep creepers, but it seems to do this I would have to build every thing out of obsidian and bedrock so the creeper explosions don't ruin my paths and rooms! So, what command might be used to make every block in the world unbreakable instead?


texts: How to remove all items of a specific type on the server

texts:
My goal is to remove all existing Elytras from our server (only on the overworld, but not much of a problem otherwise, since we can just respawn the end).

I read about the command /kill @e[type=Item] on reddit. It did not work for me somehow. I tried it using: /kill @e[type=elytra] and got the message "Selector '@e[type=minecraft:elytra]' found nothing. Entity type type 'minecraft:elytra' is invalid". I took one out of the chest, threw it on the ground, but I get the same message.

The entity type cannot be invalid IMHO, since /give <playername> elytra works.


texts: Whilst Epic Mickey is coming out on Wii, does anyone know if this is a Wii exclusive, or if it is going to be ported to other consoles or pc...?


texts: How exactly do crowd-controlling abilities work?

texts:
There are the usual kinds of crowd-controlling abilities in Diablo III: Stunning, rooting, snaring, charm, hex, fear etc.

It appears like some monsters are less affected by them than others. It seems, however, that even bosses can be, for example, frozen.

How exactly do CCs work? Do they have diminishing returns, like in WoW? Are all bosses equally CCable? Is CC efficiency or chance of successful CCing in any way dependant on any attribute (e.g. chance to fear enemies)?

The answer of this question will have some important implications for boss-fights in general, but especially for groups. If there are, for example, no diminishing returns on stuns, then four-player parties could easily specialize in stunning-equipment and skills to kill a boss without the boss hitting anyone even once.

Some monsters also have crowd-controlling abilities. What stats prevent me from being CCed (stunned, feared, snared, etc.) by enemies?


texts: On Skyrim, after you cure Serana and killed Harkon and free'd Valerica, can you still obtain the power to become a vampire lord?

texts: Can I start the Mage Guild quest several times?

texts:
I haven't finished my Mage's Guild quests in my primary alliance (Aldmeri Dominion) because I knew I'd get a powerful item ranked to my level. I'm at the last quest and so far I refused to go further to get the powerful weapon later in the game rather than now where the game is still rather easy.

Now I'm in my second alliance (Ebonheart Pact) and I have tagged the quest named "Rudrasa's Invitation". That quest is the first quest for the Mage Guild in Stonefalls. While I'm Veteran level 1, the recommended level for that quest is 5 (not veteran level 5: basic level 5).

Am I breaking something here? Is it normal? What should I do?


texts: Buildcraft and vertical distance for machines operating?

texts:
I built a large quarry and as it was getting closer to the ground I dug a hole with a ladder in it to get down to the bottom, but as I was down on the bottom I noticed that I could see the quarry arm cross-arms at the top, but they were standing still.

I could not determine if the arm was still moving as the whole thing was flooded, but from down at the bottom of that ladder, the arms were still.

As I climbed back up, they started moving again.

Was this:

Just a distance-thing sight-wise, that the game did not update what my client was viewing as the machines was so far away (70 blocks above me)
A distance-thing operation-wise, and the machine really did stop as I got too far away from it

I ask because now that the whole quarry is done, and I have emptied it for water, I planned on building a completely automated storage facility in it, and I was planning on placing the sorting machines and processing (smelting, etc.) at the bottom, but if that means that those things will not operate unless I'm a bit down into my structure, that may not be a good idea.

Could someone shed some light on what I saw and what it means?

texts: Will trees (trunks) ever consume in magma and how much do they need to be submerged in for that to happen?

texts:
Q: Will the trees ever melt or burn in magma? The magma depth has reached 2-3-4 on some tiles close to the pump assembly (see setup) yet the trees remain. Will we only know when the first level is entirely filled(7)? Do you need to fully submerge a tree in magma (including all its branches on all its levels) for it to go away? Please tell me at least that new trees will not grow out magma or that the current ones won't grow further, something?

Context

Love trees but in the game, they've been messing with my zen. Because cutting down trees can leave a hole in the floor if the layer below has been mined, it's really not a good idea to build a giant stockpile on the level below the ground. If you forget this, and then designate a bunch of trees to be cut, you may end up with a bunch of holes on which you'll have to build flooring to avoid intruders (and constructing close to trees can be inherently dangerous in 40.24; so you better save often). For the same reason, you can't build a moat around the fortress using channels if you've used the level below (in that case you'll have a taste of the cave-in experience!).

Over time, trees can also grow too close to the fortress walls, so I built a 3-tile wide paved road around it to make sure nothing grows there. Nevertheless, growth dynamics means some branches expand outward over z-levels and can come pretty close; this weakens our defenses. In one instance vile enemies attempted (and were smashed) to climb on the second story where we station our marksdwarves. In so many words, when I build my fortress I don't ask for the trees permission and now I devised a plan which (I thought) really ups the ante on the annoying trees...

Setup

We built walls and are now filling this magma reservoir surrounding our fortress, and the trees are welcome. Bottom right is a 2-pump head-to-tail stack with one 3x1 horizontal reservoir, each with a 40 hp windmill for power. Pumping is not managed per se; a mere magma-safe steel floodgate controls the assembly flow on output (using all-steel components and exceptional mechanisms). The fortress first level walls are all made from magma-safe material (olivine and basalt) but the second floor is surrounded by... fortifications (couldn't withstand 7+1 fill). At some point branches caught on fire and I thought that was it, but trunks remain in their entirety in the aftermath, as do branches and even flowers. With their trunks, the trees on the right are some 5 levels high! We set up a few bridges (raised) along the external wall, for a warm welcome...


texts: Does it matter what level of Prison of Elders I use my treasure key?

texts:
A treasure key can be used on any level of Prison of Elders after finishing it.  28, 32, 34, 35.  I know that completing higher levels gives additional completion rewards, cores, etheric light, etc.
Does it matter if I use a key on 28 vs. 35 for the chances to get better equipment?  I'm looking for something like the VoG and CE loot tables that explained which legendary and exotics dropped where.  Or, ideally, that it doesn't matter so I can turn them in on 28.


texts: What are the base Line of Sight values for units in Age of Empires 2?

texts:
I've been searching the internet for a chart or even a wiki with either compiled unit info or various individual information about units in AoE2 (either AoK or AoC expansion, preferably the latter) that gives the basic number of tiles the unit can see assuming all things being equal (flat ground, no upgrades).

I have found nothing so far.

While various technology upgrades mention +2, +4, etc. LOS to buildings or units, I cannot find anything that is telling me the base value to begin with for the various units. A Scout has more than a Villager, etc., but not hard numbers.

I would like to know if anyone is aware of a resource for this, or has done a unit by unit study themselves (I prefer not to embark on such a study myself if information already exists).

The best answer for me would be an actual listing here of the LOS values for units (including Age of Conquerors expansion), and if copied from information from another web source, the link to that as well.

It seems like in pretty much every game (examples are Skyrim, Deus Ex HR, Borderlands 2, CoD: Black Ops, PlanetSide 2, Far Cry 3), I have to reduce the mouse sensitivity slider to zero or almost zero, and rarely, even that's still too sensitive.

I use a logitech G700 mouse, on the medium ( 3 out of 5) hardware sensitivity setting. This setting works fine in windows (and games where I'm just moving a cursor around, like Civilization V). I could make a point to always lower the hardware sensitivity when I start a game, but I feel like that's a hack and there should be a better solution.
I don't have all that extra software for the mouse installed. I just let windows auto detect and install a driver for it.

In Windows, I use the fourth-lowest sensitivity, and have "Enhance Pointer Precision" unchecked.

My video card is an nVidia 560 Ti.

It wasn't like this before, but I'm not sure if it began when I got this mouse, when I moved from Win XP to Win 7, or when I got this video card (or maybe it's even been doing it for my last two video cards - the previous one being a Radeon HD 5770).

Is there something I can do so I can use reasonable settings in games?

texts: How to get Steam to recognize existing game files from a different source?

texts:
Let's say I have a game bought on retail/other digital download and installed on my hard drive. I buy the same game (or a minor variant of it, say the GOTY edition) on Steam. It should be possible to use the existing installation to avoid the generally big downloads. This is very useful as it saves both bandwidth and time.

Previously, as far as I understood, Steam downloaded the game files directly to steam\steamapps\common\<game_name>. Since this folder would be created on starting the download, pausing and closing steam, copying the game files to this folder and then validating game files would make Steam absorb as much as possible and just download the missing files.

Currently, Steam downloads the files to steam\steamapps\downloading\<game_id> and then moves them over to the aforementioned folder once the download finishes. So first of all, what the final folder would be is not clear. So what would be the correct way of doing the same thing, that is, make steam use as much of the existing files as possible? Should the files be copied to downloading\*\, or should I figure out the actual folder (say via googling) and copy the files to steamapps\common\*\?

More specifically, I had a retail copy of Arkham City installed and I just bought the GOTY version on Steam. Now I tried both of the above things, in either case, the validating does not seem to do anything. Assuming I have the correct folder name steamapps\common\Batman Arkham City GOTY, according to this, if I copy the files there, Steam seems to just continue with its 17GB download. If I copy it to steamapps\downloading\200260 then the download keeps stopping every few seconds with "Disk Write Error" after modifying 1 or 2 files, and I have to keep hitting resume.

texts: Where are the sound files for pressure plate activations/button presses?

So, I've seen someone post this somewhere else and the answer was from somebody who didn't see the part "bedrock edition" apparently cause they just stated the answer for java lol.
I want to make a silent pressure plate but I just can't find the name of the sound for pressing a button and stepping on a pressure plate in bedrock edition. Its not random.click that's something else. Any help please? I guess its also the lever sound so I'm so lost.
I tried block.wooden_pressure_plate.click or whatever and it doesn't work, I also found on the bedrock sound list that sound block.wooden_pressure_plate.click doesn't even exist, it only exists on java.

texts:
I am trying to create a build for Dota 2 where I can put in all the Items, Talent Tree, Ability Upgrades, Description, Item Descriptions, etc.
I have seen that if you go to the Dota 2 website you can make a build.
This is the link: http://www.dota2.com/workshop/builds.
I have seen that you will see a button saying "Create new Build" where you can go and make your own build but I am not seeing that button. All I see is in the middle of the screen "Browse Steam Guides" and some of my current guides which I have copied and edited from Dota 2 (but can't fully edit them, only the items) or somehow made in the past.
How do I fix this problem? I am logged into steam in the Dota 2 website. I have tried to make a build in steam guides but all I see is some text as a guide.
What do I do?

texts: Pokemon 4th Gen: Is there a way to trade pokemon on emulator after GTS shutdown?

texts:
I am playing Pokemon Diamond on Desmume and have a few Pokemon in my team that can only be evolved through trading. For the guides I found online that teach how to do trading using a emulator, all of them involves simulating a wifi connection and connect to GTS. However, GTS has been shutdown for generation IV already. So this method is no longer working.

I heard that if I have 2 real NDS in a close range (e.g. in the same room), I can still trade Pokemon on generation IV by using friend code. Is this true? And how can I simulate that using emulator (not restricted to Desmume)?

texts: What in-game hints are given for the evolution of Feebas?

texts:
Feebas evolves into Milotic either by significantly increasing its 'beauty' stat or by trading it while holding a Prism Scale. Both of these triggers for evolution, as far as I know, are unique to Feebas.

A friend of mine has recently started playing Pokemon, starting with Ruby, and aims to fill the Pokedex as much as possible without any outside advice. He was lucky enough to backtrack and find Feebas with little effort but is not using it in his main team.

From my own recollection of Gen. 3, there were never any in-game hints as to how to evolve Feebas. I either found out by looking at a guide or being told by someone else. Is my own recollection of Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald incomplete, or were there really no hints given in the games on how to get Milotic?

texts: Swordsplosion melee bonus meaning Borderlands 2

texts:
In the "Tiny Tina's Assualt on Dragon Keep" DLC for the game, you can find a weapon called the "SWORDSPLOSION!!!!".  One of the features of the weapon is a ~500% melee damage increase.  Playing a Psycho in the game, it seems like that weapon should be insanely good.  However, it doesn't appear to magnify the actual melee damage of the Psycho.  The (now massively underpowered, but for the +200% melee damage) "Rapier" from the Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty DLC has been my staple weapon as a melee focused Psycho.  I can't tell what the +500% damage applies to for this "SWORDSPLOSION!!!!".

Any thoughts?

texts:
I'm primarily playing single player, and I've noticed that at the very end of Act I/beginning of Acti II the amount of damage that I'm taking from enemies has dramatically spiked.  Whenever I'm near a crowd, I end up in the red almost immediately.  Trying to hang back and used ranged attacks doesn't seem to work; they just keep coming.  My Templar doesn't seem to be able to hold their attention, either.

I am using my armor spells, I have Blur equipped, and I've been upgrading my defensive equipment regularly.  Are Wizards just that squishy in this game, or are there any other steps I can take to mitigate the damage?  Do I just need to grind out some levels (I'm 17 at the very beginning of Act II)?


texts: I caught an Eevee, which of its evolutions will it evolve into?

Is the stone feature also in Pokémon Go? If not, what decide the evolution of this Pokémon?

Bonus point : If it's possible, how can I get a stone?

texts: Can more than one Pokémon get Pokérus after encountering a Pokérus-infected wild Pokémon?

texts:
I was hatching eggs with a Talonflame at the front of my party, when I accidentally ran into the grass. Afterwards, I accidentally ran into the grass again and once again ran like last time.
Then, when the egg in my second slot (top right) hatched, I noticed that it had Pokérus. I just put it in my box and kept hatching eggs. But when I hatched the next egg (formerly in the third slot of my party, now in second) I noticed it also had Pokérus. After checking the Wikipedia article on Pokérus, it said that it could only spread adjacently, so after that second battle it could've only spread to either my Talonflame or my egg in the fourth slot and not the egg in the third slot.
So my question is: Can Pokérus spread to two Pokémon at once after encountering an infected wild Pokémon, or did I find two Pokérus-infected Pokémon in a row?

I love magic. I love burning people. Recently, I also learnt how to bring them back to life.

However, after I've killed them again, they are reduced to an ash pile that cannot be reanimated.

Is there any kind of spell or another way to kill someone more than twice?

texts: What's the reward for collecting all the T.W.I.T coins?

texts:
After you give Trowzer enough coins for him to have a BBQ, he'll ask you for coins one last time. This time he'll ask for 99 coins, which is all the coins remaining in the game. Before I make a point of collecting all the coins in the game I'd like to know if the reward is worthwhile, since I'm sure there'll be a handful of coins that'll prove a pain to get. I've tried searching online, but I haven't had any luck. Plenty of "this is how you get all the coins" guides, but can't seem to find any that actually mention what you get for doing it.

What's Trowzers final reward?


texts: How do I connect the terminal to the turret

texts:
So I'm playing Fallout 4, and I've just built a terminal. I've heard it can turn turrets on and off, so I tried connecting one. Problem is, it won't let me attach a wire! Can you really turn turrets on and off? If you can, what do I do?

Update: I know how to connect a wire. The problem is, it won't allow me to connect a wire from the terminal to the turret. Normally, objects that can be attached using a wire are highlighted in white. The turret is not.

Update #2: I guess it's not possible to connect it, and now, I don't understand why I would want to turn turrets off. Thanks for trying to help, guys, and sorry for the hassle. Stupid me :P


texts: Increasing the FOV on Borderlands (Steam version)

texts:
Aight, I've read up on the five other posts here and managed to "brick" my game... of sorts.
The current FOV gives me a headache when dealing with anything nearby. I put the line:

Bindings=(Name="F1",Command="FOV1 00",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)

in my steamapps\common\Borderlands\WillowGame\Config\DefaultInput.ini file, and the game has absolutely no input except for my F1 binding (which zooms out to a decent FOV, but then nothing else works).

I had some other keys bound to lower FOV's but they did not work, and they do not pull this out of the wider view.

Everything here seems to be outdated or not for the Steam version, and there's .ini's everywhere. I tried tweaking some others, but they did nothing.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Normally this would not be an issue... I'd just use good ol' console magic to conjure up one... but my brother bought Skyrim for xbox and... well, achievements and all... anyway, console is not an option.

texts:
My nether portal in the overworld is light up and gated to prevent mobs entering/leaving, but I recently was attacked by 10 or more zombies when I entered the nether. No skeletons, creepers or spiders.

Could it be a glitch where the pigmen are spawning as zombies? I killed 4 pigmen before the zombies appeared, and 2 were wondering the area after I slaughtered the hoard.

A big wave of pigmen with a single zombie attacked. Then a zombie villager appeared behind me in my small pigman hunting lodge which contains the portal. A couple more zombies appeared outside. This happened twice but the second time there were more zombies and less pigmen in the initial wave. I also had another wave without a zombie in my bunker.

I think it might be an event like the zombie hoards that attack villages.

Zombies have been dropping from higher platforms that can't be accessed from the portal platform and I have stayed close to the bunker so I doubt they have been coming through it. Especially because there has not been a single skeleton, creeper or spider.

Update.
I just saw a zombie spawn beside a pigman in a lit area. I had not hit any pigmen yet.

Snocrach also said:

    Zombie pigmen can summon their zombie friends from the overworld to help
    them fight the forces of evil.

    this is a normal minecraft feature - nothing to do with the world generation.

texts: How do I beat the Golem Boss in Tymmer Palace Ruins in Agarest - Generations of War ZERO?

texts:
My party consists of Zeeg, Linda, Rouiter, Mimel, Alice and Sayane. The problem that I keep having is that I have to deal with those 3 Mieshas, because they can perfectly avoid all attacks. But when their HP drops to 25% or below, I can only kill them with Special Moves, but Rouiter is too weak to deal enough damage, Alice and Linda's skills get absorbed and I have to kill them in one turn or they will recover HP.

Even after I do that the Golems have that Swing attack that kills everyone in one hit.  I try my best to keep everyone linked cause then even if Alice or Rouiter can't target anyone with the links they can still heal. I have 20 Fragments of Life but because of how much those 2 Golems and the Meisha deal to me, I can end up going though half of them. I want to keep everyone alive so that they all get the massive amount of EXP for beating the boss.

Everyone is Level 27. Zerg has the Sword of Kings at level 5, Linda has the Divine Lance at level 1, and Alice has that Staff which you can by from the adventure Guild for 350 TP (can't remember it's name) at Level 5. Everyone is wearing Platium Bracelets at Level 5.

I need to know at what kind of level should I be at to beat this boss? What kind of equipment should I have? I'd appreciate any tips for beating the battle (the only thing I can think of is to not let one of the Golems make its move with 25% or less HP).

So I'm finally rolling a realm full of Alliance characters. Dropped a massive $55.00 (ouch!) on the realm/faction transfer for one of my characters that I was planning on throwing away with some gold and a few sets of heirloom items.

As I don't care for the look of a lot of the heirloom items, I'm trying to transmogrify them ASAP with better looking items (subjective, of course).

That being said, the questline out in Stonetalon Mountains on the Horde side of the house has this lovely NPC that you can buy rep items for as you grind up your rank in the Krom'gar Army.

Is there any Alliance equivalent in any zone? Or am I outta luck on this one?

(Yes, I realize that I can simply buy similar looking items to the ones he sells, but I'm just trying to figure out if there's a similar quest chain on the Alliance side).

Thank you.

Edit: I've changed my description from "good" builds to "optimal" builds to narrow the scope.

texts: Battlefield 3 last patch: weapons efficiency decreased?

texts:
Playing BF3 on XBOX360 after yesterday's patch, I noticed that my efficiency in killing enemies decreased.

It is not about aiming, I had a concrete sensation that every weapon is less effective than  it was before the patch.

I was aware of the fact that USAS-12 was due to be nerfed (and indeed it has been, especially if you consider fragmentation ammo); now even if a shot hits an enemy in plain face at a distance slightly greater than extremely close range, that shot alone doesn't kill him. This is very different from USAS-12 previous behavior.

But after the patch it seems that using every weapon has increased its level of difficulty.

Am I having the right perception?

In a recent game, when I revealed antiquity sites, I was notified of one in my territory underneath a district I had already constructed. I was able to excavate this with an archaeologist. However, even playing with resource icons on, the district "covered up" the antiquity site, so I had no indication other than the notification for discovering a new strategic resource in my territory.

The terrain tooltip correctly listed the site, but it would be extremely tedious to hover over every district, wonder, and city center tile on the map looking for additional sites. Is there any other way to list all remaining sites?

I just bought Magicka and want to play it on my computer with my girlfriend. Buying a gamepad seems to be the only option. I've never owned one, so I have no idea what kind the game supports or what the interface looks like.

How do I know if a gamepad is compatible with Magicka? I already have USB keyboards, a Wiimote with nunchuk, an unrooted Android phone, and a couple of other computers (too weak to play the game). Could I use any of those?

What are my options?

Any help on solving this will be greatly appreciated.


texts: Can I make separate save files/towns/mayors in Animal Crossing: New Leaf?

texts:
My wife and I bought an Animal Crossing: New Leaf Special Edition 3DS-XL for my daughter.  We are wondering if there is a way to have separate saves (separate towns) so that each of us can have our OWN town and each be a mayor.

I've found conflicting reports so far as to whether you can make saves to separate SD cards and I'm not familiar with how game saves work on a 3DS.  Is there any way that each of us can have our own experience, and not just all be citizens in the same town?

In case it helps, Animal Crossing: New Leaf comes pre-installed on this special edition 3DS-XL.

texts: There seems to be a crafting system in the game, but I can't find it. Where is it and how does it work?


texts:
Final Fantasy 12 contains a lovely spell called Esuna(ga), which clears negative status effects from a character in your party. Memory serving, the original game's Esuna cleared almost everything; Blind, Poison, Sap, Doom, Oil, etc.

This does not appear to be the case with The Zodiac Age. When going through the Stillshrine of Miriam, my entire party became afflicted with Oil, but Esuna would not clear it.

Is Esuna tied to the licenses of "Remedies remove more negative effects", or has its effectiveness been changed for TZA?

texts: Does receiving a 'Nice' rating from passersby/accquaintances do anything?

texts:
One of the features of the Player Search System (PSS) is the ability to give or receive a 'Nice' rating.

But does it have any tangible benefits in-game? Or is it purely aesthetic?


texts:
I've been googling this and all I find is that the glitch world is random whenever you die, and it was recommended to go onto world 1-3 and keep suiciding to activate it.

I've been suiciding over and over probably 100+ times and she hasn't glitched a single time.

I've 100%'d the chapter, i.e. all worlds A+ and all bandages, but I can't seem to get her to glitch so that I can try the glitch world. Any ideas? I've read posts saying she does it after <10 deaths unusually, so my 100+ suiciding seems a bit excessive.


texts: Is there a viable way of completing Ultimate Vault Hunter mode by yourself?

texts:
Since the update I've attempted to play the new mode but am not doing so well. I have an assassin specialized mainly into the Cunning tree and partially into the Bloodshed side. With my current build I can't even get passed the W4R-DEN with leads me to believe co-op is almost a necessary requirement to beat this mode.

Am I right or do I just need better equipment to do this? Maybe other classes would also be better suited to beating this solo as well?

texts: Which kinds of objects are worth destroying for fragments?

texts:
When just raging for a while and destroying objects, it's pretty clear that different kinds of destructible objects provide different number of blue fragments. Pieces of walls and masonry, for instance, seem to provide none, while potted plants always net a few fragments.

I don't think I want to invest the time in destroying every single object in the hope in will get me shards, but I don't want to miss out on "valuable" objects, either. Is there some sort of guideline or chart which would indicate which objects I would want to destroy and which ones I can skip?

I realize the types of objects change between levels, but even a rough guideline will do.

texts: Accessing DLC without giving Lordvessel to Frampt or killing Sif

texts:
In Dark Souls, I have just defeated Ornstein and Smough and acquired the Lordvessel. Now, if I remember correctly, you can give this to Kingseeker Frampt, but that will make it impossible to join the Darkwraith covenant. I'd rather give it to Darkstalker Kaathe. I have never played past this point before so I only know about Kaathe from the Dark Souls Wikis.

I have also just bought the Add-on Artorias of the Abyss and have read that the Great Grey Wolf Sif appears as a summonable NPC in a new area, as long as he wasn't killed before, which also changes the cutscene before the fight. As requirements to access the DLC I have read that you have to kill some crystal golem in the Darkroot Basin and to place the Lordvessel.

But, to get to Kaathe, if I understood this correctly, you have to kill Sif to get a ring to walk the Abyss where Kaathe apparently is. So if I want to access the DLC before getting to Sif, I would have to give it to Frampt, right?

The only other option I could imagine is to place the Lordvessel by jumping down the hole where Frampt is, whithout waking him up, but I read that that makes him angry somehow. Also, can I still help Kaathe after doing that?

Long story short: I want to join the Darkwraith, but also access the DLC and have Sif there before killing him to walk the Abyss. Is this possible?


texts:
I found a 3 socket Aldur's Rhythm during my game play last night, and it is a vast improvement over the weapon I was using.

I am running a Zeal Paladin, on closed Battle.net, at Nightmare difficulty Act 3, and I am hoping that it will help me up to Hell difficulty.  Based on those threads from players using this weapon in Hell I feel like I've gotten a great weapon earlier than normal.

I read suggestions about adding 3 Shael runes to make the increased attack speed as high as possible, however, the calculator I found showed my number of attacks (Zeal) would increase from 4.16-4.46 for the 3 rune upgrade.  Gaining 1 attack every 3 seconds doesn't seem like a huge damage gain.

Others suggest adding Amn runes or 3 Perfect Skulls to bump the life/mana leech.  At present potion guzzling is a bit of a problem, but I may only need to find one good armor to solve that problem for a while.  This doesn't seem like the worst choice, however the weapon does already have 10% Life Stolen Per Hit and 5% Mana Stolen Per Hit.

Other thoughts I've had include using Eth for the -25% to target defense, Mal for prevent heal, and perhaps Dol for 25% monster flee.

Given these circumstances, what are solid options that will be useful through the Nightmare Acts 4,5 and into Hell?

texts:
If I spawn at the 12 o'clock position typically the mineral line is above my hatchery/nexus/command center.  The workers have to run all the way around the structure to get those sweet blue crystals.  If I spawn at 6 o'clock, they're right there.

This seems like it would also affect future drones hatching from eggs on the wrong side of the base.

Doesn't this result in faster mining in the southern bases?

So, I recently did the Lester Assassination mission #2, the jury one. I remembered to invest in Debonaire, but whilst waiting to get the ROI, I accidentally kicked my PS3's Off button.

When I loaded back in, the game remembered my quick save whilst waiting for the Debonaire market, but after 8 in-game hours, there was no move whatsoever. Even advancing the game clock didn't work... How can I fix this problem?

texts: How do I effectively counter a cannon rush with Zerg?

texts:
I was a victim of a cannon rush in my last Starcraft 2 game.  I was playing Zerg and my opponent was playing Protoss.  About four minutes into the match, cannons and pylons started going up in front of the only entrance to my base.

What is the best strategy for handling such a tactic?  Massed banelings seemed to be pretty effective, but I couldn't get enough of them to break through.

Am I better off attacking the cannon cluster directly, or should I ignore it, push to mutalisks/brood lords and attack my opponent's base?


texts:
Sometimes enemies in the game become outlined in blue, like in the following picture:

It does not seem to be connected with outlining the enemies that are obstructed by the environment. Those are certainly not glory kills markers (when an enemy waits for a glory kill it remains static and the blue shade is all over it; here, however, the enemy remains alive, active, can attack and blue is just at the borders of its body). I think it might have something to do with using rocket launcher, but I am not sure. What does the blue outline mean?


texts: Does cooking food impact the spoilage/decay rate?

texts:
In Don't Starve, cooking food can have a variety of effects on the restorative and degenerative properties of food.

I've seen people say to keep it in crock pots until ready to use to prevent spoilage, but this is not great when you have low research.  And, I've seen mods that prevent spoilage, but that just isn't what I want to do.

But, does a cooked item last longer than the raw food?


texts:
The questions are simple:

When you have a couple natural (Awoken skill) enhanced orbs, and you activate a skill that enhances orbs including said enhanced orbs, do the effects of each 'enhance' add on to each other? Like, say, use Unicorn's skill on a board that already has enhanced light orbs from awoken skills.

Does the same thing happen when you activate two different enhance orb skills that can affect the same type of orb?

And if so, is the effect additive or multiplicative?


texts: Is local multiplayer (local network, multiple consoles) possible on Doom on Nintendo Switch?

texts:
I've established that:

There is no support for local split screen multiplayer for Doom on Nintendo Switch, and probably never will be. Apparently the days of splitscreen FPS similar to Goldeneye on the N64 are over, sadly.
When Doom was first released for Nintendo Switch, there was no online multiplayer, but a very large patch after release fixed this and online multiplayer is now a possibility, if you download the very large update.

However between all the hundreds of articles on the above two controversies, I can't find out:

Can two or more people, with two or more Switch consoles, in the same room, start a private multiplayer Doom game, for just them, without needing to go online?
If yes:

Does this require an extra copy of the Doom game per player? (multiple cartridges or downloads)
Does this require any/all players to have an account with or subscription to the Nintendo online gaming service?

texts: Is there any way to extract voice chat audio from TF2/Source demo recordings?

texts:
I have a bunch of demos recorded in TF2 from before the Hatless update. Any attempt to open the files in TF2 for playback causes it to toss up a few resource loading errors that I'm assuming are the result of changes in the update, and the demo never loads.

Really all I want from these files is the voice chat audio, the action on screen wasn't important.  Is there any tool available that can extract that information independent from TF2 itself?

On a similar note, for files that I can open, is there a way to make TF2 output just the audio track when recording playback using the startmovie command?  I don't need the vast gigabytes of tga files.


texts:
A couple days ago in Rift it was announced that the mount quest that is currently going on for the Autumn Harvest event was disabled. I've continued gathering Autumn Harvest Signets in the hopes that by the time I reach the 20 signets needed to purchase a mount the problem will be fixed. After the server merge that occurred yesterday however, I haven't heard anything about the Autumn Harvest in the official forums.

Would anyone happen to know if it is safe to go ahead and try purchasing one of the mounts once you reach 20 signets? I want to know prior to reaching the 20 signets myself since I still see the quest as being active on my quest log.

texts: What's the most powerful attack in Overwatch when all possible buffs are stacked?

texts:
I've been reading a lot lately about the way buffs like Mercy's damage boost and the orb of discord can be paired together to make a big damage boost for someone in Overwatch, as well as how Mercy overall can impact each game with her boost. I am also aware of the fact that headshots give a 2x multiplier. Correct me if I'm wrong about all this or if there's anything I've missed out!

I'm unsure fully how all of these interact and the potential for each character. What I would like to know is - if you were to line up all the necessary buffs in the game from character abilities (using only a team of 6, so you could choose 5 members who have the buffs that stack and then have 1 character who will make the attack), what is the most powerful attack in Overwatch from a single character that you could possibly do?

texts: Is using decor considered as glitching for the purposes of a Speedrun?

texts:
On some games (mostly RPGs), speedrunners use decor elements to skip some zone(s) of the game (for instance in the Duke's Archive in Dark souls).

Since using decor doesn't look like a bug, is it still considered as 'utilising a glitch'? Would the Speedrun still be considered glitchless if you do these kind of moves?

Here is an example of such use of decor


texts: While traveling during his ultimate, is Nocturne targetable by friends or foes?

texts:
After Nocturne uses Paranoia and subsequently launches himself at a target, can he be targeted by either friends or foes?

For instance, it's been shown that Quicksilver Sash can remove the vision debuff. Could you remove the debuff and then stun him in-flight (removing the debuff so you could actually see him arriving)?

The answer for this should inform on what happens when a friendly Shen ports to a mid-flight Nocturne. The fact Shen can even attempt to port a mid-flight Nocturne leads me to believe he's more-or-less targetable, but I haven't seen any definitive evidence.

Is this true? If they drop anything, will the drops always be bits I don't already have?


texts: How can a Firebird build compete with Tal Rasha's after 2.4?

texts:
In patch 2.4, the Firebird set has received a damage boost in the form of +25% damage per burning enemy. But Tal Rasha's also received a boost, now adding +500% damage per stack. This seems horribly unbalanced: Even if I average 20 burning monsters at a time - and that seems like a lot, given how quickly white mobs die - I get damage bonus equivalent to a single Tal Rasha stack, and when I play with Tal Rasha I rarely have less than 3 stacks active (plus 2.4 made it easier to keep up 4 Tal Rasha stacks anyway).

I confirmed this with my own gameplay, the damage output difference was immense. Now, granted, my overall gear when running Tal Rasha's is of higher quality, but the difference was like two orders of magnitude.

Am I missing something here? Is there a way to make Firebird more competitive? As a hardcore player the extra life it provides is very appealing, but it's just not worth the huge damage loss.

If I get a item with life steal like Vampiric Scepter, when the Voidling atacks, who will recover HP, Malzahar, the Voidling, both, or neither?
Will the on-hit passive from The Black Cleaver, Phage, Statikk Shiv, and other similar items be applied to Voidling's hits?
Would critical strike chance apply to Voidlings too?


texts: How good are lvl 50 amiibos are perfect shielding?

I have a Kirby Amiibo with Easy Perfect Shield, Shield Mirror, and Exploading Perfect Shield.  He's very difficult to hit because he times his perfect shield probably 3 in 4 times if he's on the ground and not mid-swing.

I'm considering replacing Easy Perfect Shield with a Healer Shield item.  I don't know how often he shields perfectly because he's a computer vs how often he does it because he has the Easy Perfect Shield buff.  I'm afraid to test it, because I don't have another Easy Perfect Shield item should he become less effective.

Can anyone give me an idea of about how often max level amiibos time their perfect shield naturally?

I wanted to use my thumper (to get the hang of things) but I couldn't find it, despite me going through all the menus of my inventory (keybind 'C'). According to my friends it should be under the Resource Gathering section, with my scan hammer, but that's the only thing I've got.

Is there some place where one is parked that I can grab it?  Failing that, do they spawn frequently in some area?

I'm done with the missions and side activities for the most part, so if there's one that's missable, I probably have missed it by now.
