texts: msi GE72 2QF Apache Pro, Windows 10 laptop

texts:
I have a gamma issue. My computer is an msi GE72 2QF Apache Pro, Windows 10. It's a brand new computer, so the graphics card should be fine. The problem first started when I was playing Overwatch. I was playing regularly, but then suddenly the framerate started severely dropping at random times. I still haven't tested the framerate to see if it had anything to do with this problem, but I don't think it does. Pretty sure my computer was just overheating. I quit the game and went to the home page, and then suddenly the gamma (When I say gamma, I refer to brightness of the screen and brightness of the colors.) on my computer screen dramatically dropped.

I shut down Overwatch and went to my desktop, where the gamma had also decreased. I tried restarting my computer, and when I restarted it the gamma had gone back the the usual. I shut down a few programs, doing normal things, I launched Overwatch again, but then the gamma dropped back down to how it was earlier. I restarted AGAIN, and the same thing happened. I tried a final time, and everything was regular.

I tried launching Overwatch and the Battle.net launcher, but then again, the gamma went down. I closed Overwatch and Battle.net and my gamma was still low. I don't know how to fix this. Please help.


texts:
I just picked up Dark Souls and it looks like I can either stay in "hollow" form or become "human" by using a special item that I gained after defeating a boss. But from googling a bit and finding only ways to obtain it, I couldn't find any clear information on what it actually does. I also found that bonfires have an option to "kindle" them, but that requires humanity.

What effects does "humanity" have on me? And what about kindling bonfires with it?


texts: Can I Invite PE Players To My PC Realms Server?

texts:
I am trying to invite my son (IOS Pocket Edition) to my realms server (mac osx).

I keep getting the response "Could Not Invite The Provided Name" when I try to invite him. His name is all regular characters with no spaces . . . just letters and numbers.  Are the two game types incompatible, and if they are
Is it possible to create the same type of 24/7 available server that is only open to him and other invitees like the OSX realms?

Thanks in advance for any clarification.


texts: Why my Borderlands is not integrating correctly with Steam?

texts:
I bought Borderlands GOTY pack on Steam, but I already had it downloaded (piracy, yarn).

I uninstalled the game and imported it on steam using this method:

Install the game to the hard drive from the installation disc.
Once that's done, tell Steam to install the game, but pause the download as soon as it starts.
Find the directory that Steam's installing to, and copy all the files from the install you made in step 1 to the Steam install directory. (If there's an uninstall executable or install log file you don't need to copy it over.)
Restart the download in Steam. It will now only download files that are either missing or changed. (Steamworks files or updates, mainly)
When it gets near the end, I've found it occasionally stalls... (As Lobsang stated, usually at 99%...) If this doesn't happen, skip ahead to step 5. If this DOES happen, follow these steps...

5.1. Create a temp folder on the same hard drive as your steam installation.

5.2. Make sure Steam is still downloading the game (Doesn't matter if it's suspended...) and move all files from the Steam installation folder to the Temp folder you created in Step 4.1

5.3. Now if you go back to the Steam installation folder, you'll see a few files are still there. These are the files that are causing Steam to stall...

5.4. Close Steam And delete the offending files from The Steam Folder AND from the Temp directory you moved everything to.

5.5. Move everything back from the temp directory to the Steam Installation directory

5.6. Restart Steam, and Steam should now download the files it was stuck on from scratch.

5.7. If it should get stuck again, (Personally I've never had this happen, but it could theoretically happen, follow steps 4.1 - 4.6 again... If the download completes, Head on to step 5...
Once the download completes, Go to your Games List, right click on the Game list, and Select Properties. Click on the Local Files Tab and click on 'Verify Integrity Of Game Cache'
Once that's all done, your game should now be fully installed in Steam...

Steam already checked the game cache, and it was OK.

The problem is that SHIFT TAB is not working and my achievements are not "popping" on screen  once I achieve them, even tho they are working correctly.

Any idea of why they are not appearing on my in game screen once I achieve them?

texts: What is Skyrim SE's load order for mods?

texts:
In Skyrim: Special Edition, Bethesda implemented built-in mod support for mods that are listed on their website and you never have to leave the game to mess with them. Which is all great, but many mods list importance in load order (either being at the top or bottom of the load order list).

My question is what order does Skyrim actually load the mods? Does it load the mods from top to bottom or from bottom to top?

I'm playing on PC through Steam.


texts:
I am making this 1 command, and I want to test for a wolf that does not have the tag Tamed. Now you might say "That's super easy just put an '!' before your tag name", But no I have this command:

execute @e[type=Wolf,tag=!Tamed] ~ ~ ~ /scoreboard players set @e[c=1,type=Wolf,tag=!Tamed] mc_Tamed 1 {Sitting:1b}

That is supposed to detect when a wolf is sitting but is not tamed. But for some on reason, it still executes on wolfs with the tamed tag. Now you can figure out how to fix that command OR if you know a better solution to detect a tamed wolf then that would be good also. Thanks!

texts: Does the choice to stay or go make a difference?

texts:
At the end of the game, the character has a choice; stay or leave.

I've picked both, and it doesn't seem to matter.

  What does seem to matter is whether or not your follow the other pods instructions when there's noise in the data stream.  That seems to be the difference between ending D and ending E.

So, does it really matter what answer you pick for that question?  What changes?

  Given the options for 9S' ending, there could have been four outcomes, but since staying on earth or leaving with the machine's ark doesn't seem to matter, I'm not sure what the point is.


texts: Do plugins for Kerbal Space Program work on unix?

texts:
I have KSP installed on Ubuntu (via Steam) and I'm trying to install some plugins to make my rocket science easier.

I have successfully installed NovaPunch and it works (new parts appeared!). But MechJeb and Protractor do not work (I see no changes in UI).

So I tend to believe that there plugins that modify game UI do not support unix machines.
Or do I do something wrong? I have tried to unpack plugins both to separate directory (i.e. path is ...\protractor\Plugins) and to game folder (so archive data is merged with original game data - I think that's correct way)


texts: What is the quickest way to farm 1 million bolts?

texts:
On the PS3 re-release of the original Ratchet & Clank trilogy, one of the achievements is to earn 1 million bolts.

I've already completed the game (thrice), gotten all gold bolts, gold weapons, and the R.Y.N.O, so the only expenses I have at the moment is the occasional storyline spend (upgrades to Clank) and some ammo if the Gadgetron crates aren't restocking me quick enough.

I'm about halfway through the story in my 4th playthrough, and have earned ~150k bolts so far. I can continue to keep playing through the storyline over and over, but I was wondering if there was a quicker way to farm up the amount of bolts I need to earn this achievement?

Day 1: Pear tree has 3 pears on it. I pick the pears. Obviously I can shake it a million more times and I will get nothing else.

Day 2: The same tree. There are no pears to pick because I picked them on Day 1. Is this still guaranteed to give me nothing?


texts: How many kills does it take to unlock new subclass abilities?

texts:
With the release of Destiny 2's latest expansion Forsaken, new sub-class abilities and supers have been added to the game.

These require the acquisition of a Seed of Light, and then the completion of a mission for the Traveler.

However I used the opportunity to complete my Triumph for using each sub-class super in a single activity. This left me with the three sub-class skills still locked.

The skills state that you have to unlock them by defeating enemies using the super ability, but gives no indication of how many.

How many enemies do I need to defeat with my new super ability to unlock each of the three remaining sub-class abilities?

The system keeps choosing the memory unit of the system and gives us no option to change it. Your expertise would be greatly appreciated.

texts: Does Magikarp's Splash move really never deal any damage?

texts:
I am rather certain that I once had a Magikarp in my party and when it used its Splash attack on an enemy, it actually did do some damage.
But it never happended again after that and all accounts that I have read so far always state that the Splash move is utterly useless.

Since I did not play very many different editions of Pokémon, it must have happened on one of the Red/Blue/Yellow, Gold/Silver/Crystal editions or the White edition (however, playing White isn't all that long ago so I don't think it was there).

Did I dream all this or can anyone confirm my experience?

texts: Buttons on PS4 Controller not Detected by Steam Controller Settings

texts:
I am attempting to set up my PS4 controller on Steam PC and there are numerous button inputs not being detected. At the very least Steam does detect the controller, but when I try to set up the input layout as it requests, it does not detect the PS, center button (As shown equivalently in this picture):

Plus it does not detect any inputs from my right joystick (Movement in X and Y and Z [button press]), nor does it detect any inputs in the horizontal (x) direction or button press, (Z) direction of the left joystick. This is a brand new controller and I actually did get it to work for one game before in its entirety. However, when it did work before, I didn't have to manually input the layout and Steam didn't have any issues with it. It was disconnected once from my PC and then upon re-connection it began throwing this fit. I have already tried the following:

Turning off PlayStation configuration support
Restarting Steam and PC
Resetting PS4 controller


texts: What's the point of contributing to the camp funds?

texts:
I remember early on in the game being told that if I donate money to the camps lockbox, that I can use these funds to improve the camp.
Up until early chapter 3 (where I currently am, so no spoilers please), this is what I did: Taking funds from my personal savings, then upgrading the camp with what I'd just put into the contributions.

However, I just accidentally bought an improvement without actually having the enough in the camp funds and lo and behold, it took what was needed from my wallet as I had more than enough there.
If it can just take funds directly from me, why in the world would I ever want to manually contribute to the camp?

Contributing valuables is nice and convenient, but now I'm wondering what benefit (if any) exists for donating my hard earned cash. I don't see a way to remove cash, so it's not like it's a  safe place to store personal funds...
Plus, if the camp was fully upgraded, couldn't I just accidentally donate too much, leaving extra in the lockbox with no way to get it back (which I haven't quite done yet, so I cannot test.. perhaps you get cut off..)?

texts:
I'm almost finished with one play-through of the game, and I'm pretty depressed at the lack of lore concerning my character.  I'm playing a demon hunter, and he keeps hinting at how his entire family was murdered by demons, and how he's been ruthlessly hunting them down ever since.  They also hint that he is one of the nephalem, without much explanation there.  The only other thing I've learned is that he traveled through the Dreadlands once.

For an RPG that forces the way you look and act, I feel pretty disconnected from the person I'm pretending to be.  Is there any more lore on player characters throughout the game that I either missed or haven't discovered yet?  Or is it something I'll just have to make up on my own?

texts: How do I reach the extra switches in the Waterway puzzle?

texts:
I have solved the basic waterway puzzle where you press the 4 switches and get to the end and then press the 5th switch which opens the door for the Riku battle. Isn't there more to the maze? If you look closely you can see there are 2 more switches that I can't seem to get to.

-------------------
|     L     \   * |
|B(X) L     \     |
|     L     \     |
\\\\\\\-----\\\\\\\

|S1   \     |   S3|
|     \     |     |
nnnnnn\\\\\\\\\\\\\
|     n     ?     |
|     n     ?   * |
|E    n     ?     |
-------------------

---- or |||| is unmoveable
 n is no wall
 L is a low wall that you can jump over
 s# is a switch
 * is a switch you can see but cant get to
 X is an exit
 E is an entry

does anyone have any clue how to get to the switches? I've done google searches but I haven't found one for full maze completion, just the first part. Here is one theory I have:

-------------------
|     L     L   * |
|B    L     L     |
|     L     L     |
nnnnnnn-----+------
|     n  S2 |     |
|S4   n     |     |
|     n     |     |
-------------------
|     |     |     |
|S1   |     |   S3|
|     |     |     |
nnnnnn-------------
|     n     ?     |
|     n     ?   * |
|     n     ?     |
-------------------

If you get the maze to look like this, then if you could get in from the exit or some other point towards the end of the maze, you would have access to the switch. Just a thought though. Ive looked all throughout the entire world and I am unable to find another entry point to this maze. Does anyone know how to solve it?

texts: GTA V requires internet to save progress

texts:
I usually play GTA V at home with my Ethernet cable connected and my 16 GB USB stick to save progress. So far, I've gained 20% completion.

But I'm at a friends house with the same Xbox, and we can't connect it to internet. When we tried to play, we had to start the game over with Mission 1 "Prologue" and for some reason we cant save progress on the USB stick. I think this is because the game requires internet in order to save.

Unfortunately this means each time we start up the Xbox we have to start over.

Is there any workaround or solution to this?

texts: If Norah Everhart is descended from the Naacal then why is she mortal?

texts:
In Call of the Sea, Chapter 5, one of the ichor pools shows a vision that clearly states that all Naacal have now achieved eternal life.
The Norahnomicon viewable in Chapter 4 (and the rest of the storyline) seems to make it clear that Norah is descended from the Naacal. She should, therefore, possess eternal life (immortality).
And yet, if at the end of Chapter 6, the player chooses to return to Tahiti and remain with Harry then the game finishes with Norah's death.
Why?

texts: Is there a way to know cumulative bonus to a specific skill that comes from all worn items?

texts:
You can check the Character Sheet's second tab's "Character" section for "all skills" bonuses, but what about individual skills?
Is there any way to check this (even involving changes to vanilla game through mods)?
This can get pretty important when the cumulative bonus happens to exceed the maximum level for some skill. Then you could respec the lost bonus, to some other one not wasting it. But first one has to know there is some overcap.


texts: How do you put a Stained Glass Block on an Armor Stand's Head?

texts:
I've been working on a little armor stand Harry Potter vs Voldemort scene, just for fun, and I was trying to make the part where the two spells meet.

I figured out a way to do it, but I can't seem to get a red or green stained glass on the armor stand's head.

I've tried a few things.

/entitydata @e[type=armor_stand,r=1] {Equipment:[{},{},{},{},{id:stained_glass,Damage:14}]}

/entitydata @e[type=armor_stand,r=1] {Equipment:[{},{},{},{},{id:stained_glass 1 14}]}

/summon armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {Invisible:1,Equipment:[{},{},{},{},{id:stained_glass,Damage:14}]}

All of them with the same outcome: it said it worked, but it didn't do anything. I checked and there was no invisible armor stand summoned, and there definitely wasn't any red stained glass. Can anyone figure out why this wasn't working?

texts: Does giving an employee the same job on each game decrease their effectiveness?

texts:
I just bought Game Dev Story, and I've made a few games.  Each time, I assign the developer with the best relevant stat to each task.  For example, I always use the developer with the highest Scenario stat to write the proposal, the one with the highest Sound stat to do the music, etc.

However, around my third or fourth game, these people started saying "I'm doing the ____ again?  I'm not sure I can give this one my best..."

Does this mean that assigning them to the same job each time causes them to lose effectiveness?  Should I be occasionally hiring outside consultants or using new hires?


texts: If self-muling does it make sense to start with a Barbarian?

texts:
I read that Barbarians are able to attain the very highest Magic Find rating possible.  Thus some people will use them to that purpose and dress other characters from the gear found.

In the context of playing on Battle.Net closed games, taking the risk of self muling (drop log out A, log in B, pick up, log out B) does it make sense for my first battle.net character to be a Barbarian?

I have previously defeated the game in Nightmare using a Paladin, and think that I would use a Paladin again otherwise.

Thanks


texts: When opening minecraft launcher A small window opens with "unknown error"

texts: So I have just bought minecraft from minecraft.net. I downloaded the installer "minecraftinstaller.msi" and installed it. Then I tried to open the minecraft launcher, but when i did that a window opened with the text "unknown error". I have no idea why this happens.

texts: How do I swap a crafted Item for another one (in bedrock edition)?

texts:
I am making an adventure map and am making it so that you craft a piece of tnt that should be placed on an observer. Though, when it is crafted it can't be placed on anything.
I have tried several times with different commands but none seem to work.
/replaceitem entity @p [name=tnt]slot.weapon.mainhand 1 tnt 1 0 {"minecraft:can_place_on":{"blocks":["observer"]}}

This is one command i've tried several times. It looks promising but says that "no targets matched selector". Even if the "[name=tnt]" is swapped by "[name=!tnt]" (that should make it so that everything exept tnt changes) the tnt changes.
I would be greatful if anyone could help me.


texts: Does Stardew Valley have poweruser keyboard support?

texts:
I am not an experienced PC gamer but I am a software developer who tries to leave the keyboard as little as possible during the day. I've had a lot of trouble with this in Stardew Valley.

The biggest pain point is rifling through the back half of my backpack.
Some questions you can answer with "y"es/"n"o, others require clicking.
Like watching TV.
The "X" action is really ambiguous if I'm both holding an object and sometimes rather unsuccessfully trying to pick up an object. Or gift an object, or eat an object, etc.

Are there better keyboard solutions for these problems?

FWIW I'm running a Mac + Wineskin solution.

texts: In MegaMan 1, do I need to collect the balls left by dead enemies?

texts:
In Megaman 1, enemies often leave behind colored balls (or marbles) once they have been destroyed.

Here's a blue one in Fireman's stage:

Or a purple one from Cutman's stage:

I usually will go and collect these small marbles, out of habit I suppose (because anyone should always collect anything that falls from a defeated enemy, right?).

However, I have noticed that the points appear on top of the screen immediately after the enemies die, and not when you collect the marbles associated with them (in the last screenshot, the points on top did not change when I touched the marbles).

What does collecting these marbles do?

texts: What causes damage (equipment wear) in Dark Souls?

texts:
Ok, I actually do know what causes equipment wear in Dark Souls. What I actually mean is a bit more specific.

Note: Before I start, I don't know the actual figures, but I do know there is a difference. However, the question isn't about those details (though it wouldn't hurt to include them in your answer).

So: when you hit an enemy, it does an amount of damage (or wear) to your equipment. Let's say it's a 1:1 - 1 hit = 1 point of equipment damage. However when you hit a wall or other object, it does more. Let's say it's a 1:2 - 1 hit = 2 points of equipment damage.

Now, there are a couple of situations here that I am uncertain of, and my only previous knowledge comes from the word of a friend, with no real backup evidence - I just went with it.

When you hit an enemy in a tight corridor, your weapon can either 1. pass through the wall (leaving a trail of sparks), or 2. hit it and rebound, at the same time it hits the enemy hitbox.

Your weapon passes through the wall (with a trial of sparks and hit sound effects) and hits the enemy - does it count as hitting the wall, and how much equipment damage is caused?
Your weapon hits the wall and bounces off (with a resounding ding) but still causes damage to the enemy - does it count as hitting the wall, and how much equipment damage is caused?

The last point I wanted to ask is does this apply to breakable props as well (I.e. Barrels and furniture etc.) or should I instead just roll through it all?

Does being lower level than the area you're in affect the rate they appear,
Does being in a party increase/decrease appearance rates and
Where do they appear?

texts: Does the prestige of a gym automatically degrade over time?

texts:
5 days ago I became a member of a level 10 gym which had 52,000 prestige. The prestige remained at 52,000 until 2 days ago when it fell to exactly 50,000 (still 10 pokemon. ok). Last night, the prestige fell to exactly 49,500 (now with 9 pokemon. ok).

That each degradation happened in units of 500 surely means pokemon are getting kicked-out, but why? Is it the passage of time that is kicking out pokemon automatically?

note (1):
During the 5 minutes it took to write this, gym prestige fell to exactly 49,000, BUT there are still 9 pokemon! What the heck? How did the gym lose 500 but not lose a pokemon?

note (final):
20-min has just passed, and now I see fighting at the gym. My gym mates are counter-attacking and have pushed prestige back up to 48,978. So, the "attack" was in units of 500 and the counter-attack was in units of 1. In essence, that is my question.


texts:
After becoming Thane of Whiterun once through the Main Quest, this has to be redone when siding with the Stormcloaks in the War. The relevant quest is this one

This Quest is not available to me. Vignar is on his throne, I already purchased Breezehome from his steward. The war is over. The option to start the quest just doesn't exist. And I checked that I am not already Thane with the guards.

I tried every console command I could find, e.g. startquest, setstage, resetquest, completequest. Nothing worked. I tried raising the relationship rank with Vignar. I tried disabling/enabling Vignar. The quest is still not available. This is currently making me not want to play anymore as the goal I set myself to keep playing was becoming Thane in every Hold, which now is impossible.

Does anybody know of other things I could attempt to get this quest started?

texts: How does zombie spawning in Die2Nite work?

texts:
What determines the number of zombies that will be in a zone in the world beyond?

Does killing a zombie while you are in the World Beyond mean that zone will have fewer zombies the next day as well?  Does it basically go through and add a random number of zombies to each zone, and all the ones currently there remain?

Also, does killing a zombie in the World Beyond have any impact on the size of the nightly attack, either on that day or on subsequent days?  Is there any correlation between the size of the nightly attack and the number of zombies in zones in the World Beyond?  Sorry, that's a lot of questions, but I'm sure someone can answer them all.

texts: Are coins awarded between races in a Grand Prix?

texts:
A follow-up question from here. The main question is:

  Are coins saved to your account at the end of the race, or at the end of a Grand Prix, in Mario Kart 8 (or every Mario Kart, for that matter)

'We' always talk about coins awarded every race, because then it is determined how much you should earn, but is it also saved at that moment to your account?

For example, you collect 10 coins in race 1, 5 in race 2. Half-way during race 3 you have 7 coins, but I remember the pizza in the oven is done, and I have to eat. Because I can't play MK8 during pizza eating, I quit the game from the in-game menu, and turn off the Wii U. How much coins do I have extra then:

0, because the GP isn't finished
15, because that is the amount of coins collected in finished races
22, because that is the amount of coins collected in finished races and the amount I have in this race

In the first two cases, rage quitting would not result in a lower coin amount, but the third option will. However, the third option would be exploitable, by starting a GP (with 5 coins) and quit immediately. Of course it is more fun by playing, but this way coin grinding is a lot faster (and you need 10000 coins for the Gold Glider

texts: How to block or ignore Real Name requests?

texts:
One of the PS4's most annoying features in my opinion, is the Real Name Request. I don't want to share my real name over PSN nor do I care about other people's real name, yet I frequently receive them - sometimes from the same people who probably forgot they sent me one already - and I'm getting tired of deleting them all the time.

I know I can edit my real name over the PS4 and have set it to "Name withheld", but that doesn't actually solve my problem. I could just Let everybody see my "real name", but I'm concerned some people might believe my real name is indeed "Name withheld".

Since the PS4 offers an option to block Friend Requests, I guess there might also be one to block Real Name Requests but I haven't had any luck finding it. Does anybody know how to block or ignore those annoying requests?

I'm attempting to connect to me and my brother's computer to play our old Age of Empires II The conquerors through our LAN connection.

The thing is sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Almost always it doesn't.

We are always able to see each others games, but when either one of us clicks "join" and the loading screen comes up, we wait 15 seconds and then see a pop-up sending us back to the main page saying "Unable to connect"

We have tried multiple things to fix this,

Set the compatibility of the .exe file to Windows Vista (Service Pack III) even though we both have Windows 7
Turned off our firewalls
Direct Connect through Static IP addresses.
Direct Connect through Hamatchi VPN tunnels.

None of these have changed anything. It still supposedly "times out" with the pop up message "Unable to Connect"

texts: Which are the exact requirements for the "Destroyer of Worlds" achievement?

texts:
The steam description for the achievement is "Move a planet's worth of blocks", which seems fairly vague. Before I start grinding blocks to try to get it, I was wondering if anyone has a more specific description, potential covering:

Whether "moving" only means breaking the blocks, or also placing them back down elsewhere
Whether you have to fully destroy a single planet, or if it's a cumulative count of blocks broken overall that needs to reach a certain number (if so, how many blocks need to be mined)
Whether liquids and background tiles count
Whether bombs/explosives count, or just mining with pickaxes/the matter manipulator.
Whether blocks can be player-placed, or if they have to be naturally generated

My best guess so far is that it's a cumulative count, and only involves breaking the blocks. I have no idea for the last 3 details, though, and I'd like some kind of source such as game code or experiments.

texts: How do I show my command outputs to me but not the other operators?

texts:
Story
An excerpt from the chat on my friend's server:

Me: What is it with all these grey messages in the chat? Can you please turn down your usage of commands?
Friend: Sorry, experiments with commands are my main activity on this server.
Me: Well, you're cluttering up my chat with useless results of your commands, and it's becoming very distracting. Can you find a way to turn it off?
Friend: I could /deop you, and you won't get them.
Me: I don't want my deop reason to be because of your heavy usage of commands...
Friend: Well, what else do you suggest?
Me: Setting sendCommandFeedback to false.
Friend: NO WAY! While the command outputs may not be useful to you, they're still useful to me.
Me: What about using command blocks only? Just place one down to run your commands instead!
Friend: Every time? Not happening.
Me: Well, I'm out of ideas for this. Let's ask Arqade instead and see what they can come up with.

Problem
My friend uses commands on his server a lot, and being an operator on the server, it is getting annoying because every command he runs is spitting its output into my chat. I need to find a way to stop getting them, but I don't want to impede his progress.
Core question
Find a way to disable other operators from seeing your command feedback, but not yourself.
Invalid solutions:

Using a command block every time.
Setting the game rule sendCommandFeedback to false— this will stop players from seeing results to their own commands as well, which I don't want disabled.


texts: Is there a reliable, continuous source for dragon locations?

texts:
I'm trying to gather bones and scales to make armor for one character, and I've come to realize that there's never really any dragons around when you want them to be.

Is there a reliable, continuous source (i.e.: radiant quest giver with a dragon obsession) for dragon locations?

Ideally, this would be a source that still works effectively in end-game scenarios.  Such as when you've completed all the major questlines (story, civil war, factions), all of the prominent side-quest lines (daedra, divine, etc.), and found and cleared all of the Word Walls.  It would really be perfect if the quest-giver only issued dragon quests but, if there isn't such a person, I suppose I could work with one that asked for other tasks in between now and then.

I'd like to know if such a maneuver is actually possible in game; and if so; How?

texts: How can I avoid inviting a whole party of mercenaries when attacking a fort?

texts:
When attacking a larger fort, the bounty on my head accumulates very, very quickly. And this happens fast enough that I usually get some mercenaries arriving right at the height of the battle.

On lower levels this wasn't that much of an issue, I did usually manage to kill the mercenaries as well. But I'm stuck a bit at a particular fort right now because the combined soldiers and mercenaries are a bit much for me.

How can I avoid having to fight multiple mercenaries at the same time as my actual targets when attacking a large fort?

texts: Hyperspin with Retroarch black screen on all but the most recently loaded emulator

texts:
So I know this is specific, but it seems some other articles/posts run into a somewhat similar issue. I have Retroarch, and from the RocketLauncherUI I am able to successfully load all of the emulators I want to. However, from Hyperspin, only the most recently emulator loaded directly from Retroarch will successfully load, all others go to a black screen.

Example. If I load Super Mario 64 from Retroarch using detect core it loads perfectly. I can then go into Hyperspin and load Goldeneye64 no problem. Now if I go to load Sonic the screen goes black. Back out, open Retroarch, detect core load Sonic. Loads fine. Go back to Hyperspin, load Lion King for Sega and all is well. Go to load Goldeneye64 and get a black screen.

This can be repeated for other systems, so it seems it is dependent on the most recently loaded system.

I have turned on settings per core and turned them off. Off it loads a window  with an overflow of gibberish (likely from the bad core config). This goes for the settings in RocketLauncherUI and Retroarch. I can't figure it, but it is so close to working... Rather frustrating. Also, have the specific cores selected for each system in the system specific Retroarch configuration within RocketLauncherUI.

Any help is appreciated. Windows 8.1.

texts: Copying & pasting multiple commands to Minecraft terminal

texts:
Update: Using this I created this tool for copy & pasting QR codes into Minecraft
I  wanted to compose a bunch of commands in an external editor and then paste them all to execute in the Minecraft console (chat window).
But if you paste multiple lines, it seems to just ignore the line breaks. My next thought was to use a separator between commands, such as a semicolon, but after a bit of DuckDuckGoing I couldn't find any such separator.
This is for a realm, and I'm running the Java version.
Example
For example, I'd like to be able to do things like compose a little script like this in an external editor:
/setblock 0 0 0 air
/playsound block.bell.use master @p

Then copy it to clipboard, open Minecraft and press "t" to open the command line / chat. Then if I paste, unfortunately what I get is
/setblock 0 0 0 air/playsound block.bell.use master @p

What I'd like to happen is for it to run several commands.
Update I don't mean functions, as I want anyone to be able to paste in commands, not only realm admins but anyone with cheats on.

texts:
Long long ago, I received a present from Dota. These presents were given every 5 levels I believed, and contained a handful of items (some skins, tools etc).

Some time ago, Dota changed its leveling system I believe* At the time, I was over level 20, as I'd opened my level 20 present and had been given my level 25 present. I am now level 25 in the new system, and attempting to open my present; however, it doesn't allow me: I'm told

  Your Dota Profile isn't high enough level yet

Which is clearly incorrect, as I'm the right level (unless I need to be a level higher, but that's vague). In saying that, I just got to level 25, so perhaps it needs longer to realise? I don't remember ever having to wait to open my other presents.

Can this present still be opened? If not, what purpose does it serve? Why wouldn't they just remove it when they updated their levelling system, or update the message given?

The present:

My Dota 2 profile, to prove I'm high enough level:

The message I'm given upon trying to open it

* I'm not exactly an avid player so I don't really follow much of what's going on. This is all just speculation.

texts: How to resupply units in enemy territory in Hearts of Iron 3?

texts:
I am fairly new to Paradox Studio's Hearts of Iron 3 which is a lot overwhelming than CK2, EU 4 or Victoria for me. So it might just be something silly on my part but here goes:

For context, I launched an invasion of Germany in a Two-Pronged attack from East and West. Western Divisions were supposed to break German Defenders along the Danish Peninsula and Follow the Coast to East. While Eastern Force was going to land at Konigsburg, Prussia and advance along the coast to West while annihilating opposition and capturing coastal belt. Both Forces were supposed to meet at Rostock in Pomerania region.

The Western attack failed and units were bogged down at Danish-German border, still trying to overpower the numerous hordes of Wehrmacht. (But that's okay since after taking Kiel with Eastern Force, I will be able to take the Germans on Danish border in rear and flanks. I'd be on Risk of being flanked myself but I don't see any such threat looming as other available units of Wehrmacht are being tied down by other Allied forces in France and Low countries). The Eastern Sea-borne force met with success and achieved its targets as far as Danzig since most of regional German forces were defending against Western force. Now the Eastern attack has stalled because my units have run out of supplies in Prussia and they are in a very vulnerable position there. I am trying to keep the Germans busy in Kiel & Leck (Western Side Force) to keep them off my starving troops in East but I don't know how long will they last.

Prior to launching the invasion, I destroyed almost all resources in Prussia with strategic bombing campaign lasting for weeks so that can be a factor in low supply.

Resources I have at hands for supply and escort duties:

Transport Ships: 12
Airborne Transport Airplanes: 12-14
Two strong flotillas (Mixed forces of Heavy Cruisers, Light Cruisers and Destroyers) guarding the entry into Danish waters and Baltic Sea in General.
8 Wings of Interceptors and MRFs (Gloster Gauntlets and Spitfires) providing aerial umbrella.
Ample resources in terms of Supply and fuel.

Despite having such superiority, I don't know how do I get supplies transported to my men.

My order of battle is:

   ->Main HQ[Army level] (Located in Copenhagen)
   |
   -->Western Invasion Force[Corps level] (HQ Located in Arhaus Denmark)
   |
   -->Eastern Invasion Force[Corps level] (HQ located in Konigsburg, Occupied Germany)

Now my understanding was that main HQ can supply troops as far as 2000 KM. Konigsburg is only 626 KM from Copenghagen which is why I undertook the invasion in the first place . What seems to be the problem?

Then I assumed maybe if I gained superiority of Baltic sea, that would open sealanes to my forces. So I intercepted the German fleet, gave battle, won and what remained of German Baltic fleet is currently hiding in Kiel which is constantly under port strikes from my tactical bombers. (I don't think any German naval units managed to make it across the sound and to safety of Wilhelmshaven. Either way, I have Kiel invested with a flottila in case the Germans decide to get out of the port and a submarine patrolling from Wilhelmshaven to Dutch Coast).

It never worked.

Failing to get automatic supply after I had gained control of Baltic sea as I assumed, I turned to other options. When I try to use Naval Transports to act as supply vassals, they don't get an option to supply or base in occupied territories even though I have built naval bases there.

Then I tried to use Aerial assets and they don't get any option either. All options are greyed out.

What else can I do to resupply the stranded divisions? Or am I doing something wrong in methods I have already tried?

UPDATE
After losing the Eastern Force to low supplies, I raised another army and augmented Western Force with it. They broke through successfully and even after expanding southwards, I haven't yet faced low supply issue. Which makes me think, Is land connection between your HQ and forces needed for supply?


texts: How will system transfer affect my Pokémon X (and other games') data?

texts:
Last Christmas, my friend gave me her old Nintendo 3DS as a present and I've loved it ever since. However, she forgot to transfer her data over. Now, one year later, we've finally gotten together to do that, but now I have things on the 3DS I don't want deleted, but she wants some games she downloaded on her old console to come to her new console.

Two of the things of mine are the Pokémon Sun/Moon demos, but for some reason, it mentioned deleting some things relating to my Pokémon X data. I don't want legendaries or any other Pokémon being lost, since it mentioned something about deleting Pokémon X data. Most of the other apps are hers, most demos but one game she bought.

Would there be a way to change the NNID to mine without deleting things? Is there a way to just pick and choose things to transfer things back to her new 3DS? What would the wisest course of action be?

texts:
In Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, there are certain spots that give you instant quantities of the local item - e.g. in Saltwater Shores, there are "throw nets" that allow you to capture a bunch of fish at once.  There are three types: a generic "Throw net" that the game gifts you a few of early on as a taster, and some premium ones that cost Leaf Tickets.  (There are similar items for the river fish and the tropical bugs.)

Having used the gift ones, I am wondering if it is possible to obtain any more of the low-power ones (presumably using coins)?  Obviously I can spend Leaf Tickets, but that's a lot of cash...


texts: What determines when grenade pickups respawn in ME3 multiplayer?

texts:
About 30 minutes ago, I decided to try out frag grenades rather than concussive shot in multiplayer. (About 29 minutes ago was when I started kicking myself for not trying out grenades sooner).

I noticed that you can refill your thermal clips pretty much anytime - the ammo crates restock themselves faster than an Ubercharged dispenser. Grenades, on the other hand, aren't always there for the taking; usually, I have to go kill some dudes first.

What determines when grenade pickups respawn? Time, kills, waves, or something else entirely?

texts: Use the Cryomancer now or waste 3 mana and wait for +2/+2?

texts:
I often have the problem that I can get a Cryomancer out or wait a turn or two and get it with +2/+2. Below shows a really stark example:

So, in the example above I have a choice (note that the board is empty and I am playing against a Paladin). I can use all my mana and deploy the Cryomancer immediately, but it will have no buffs and just be +5/+5. Otherwise, I can do nothing except use my hero ability for one damage against the enemy hero and waste 3 mana. However, if I opt for choice 2, then I get to get out the Cryomancer next turn with +2/+2 (for a total of +7/+7) and the Glacial Shard.

In this particular example, I chose to wait. My thinking was that even if the Paladin played a 6-mana minion, I would freeze it for one turn anyway with the Glacial Shard and get out the Cryomancer with +7/+7. So, I just wasted the 5 mana and waited a turn.


texts:
Some games have segments that require the player to press one button really fast in order to pass through.  At the moment, the game that bugs me is the Legendary Starfy, but I've also run into it in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.  (What is it with DS games and the "push a button really fast" mechanic?)  For the final boss battle in Starfy, the advice is:

  Once Starfy (Or Starly if in two player mode) defeats him, he will blast
  the moon of Bunnera at Starfy. The player must rapidly press Y to deflect it. He'll blast it again, and this time it's even harder. The best strategy is to press Y until the player is tired out, then pause the game, take a break, and do it again.

Besides taking out a contract on the developer who implemented this or hiring a neighborhood kid with fast fingers to finish the game for me, what can I do to press Y rapidly without developing debilitating RSI in my hands?

texts:
There's some writing that's repeated several times at the spaceport in Dantooine. But I couldn't make it out, and the Aurebesh guides suggest it says "zxczsd fczsc".

The signs, etc. in the rest of the game spell out valid words (though not always strictly applicable, e.g. there's only one "Cantina" sign used in multiple places even though it references the Telos Cantina). That being the case, is this an in-joke or reference of some kind, perhaps the game designers' initials? Or is this just hastily added nonsense text?

texts: What is the purpose of the point system in online divisions?

texts:
I've been playing PES 2016 for a few days and there are a couple of things about online division that confuse me a bit:

Does the division you're in have any effect for matchmaking? It seems to me that matchmaking is mainly about your rating and there is no indication that the opponent's division is taken into account. In fact I'm now in division 6 but I still sometimes get opponents from division 12... Because when I was familiarizing myself with game mechanics I lost a few games in a row and my rating is relatively low. If divisions are not important for matchmaking then what's the purpose of its existence after all. Only for the player to set a target for himself?
The points required to advance to the next division seems quite ridiculously high... I was playing with Belgium in the beginning but then when I was trying to advance from division 7 to 6 today, I saw I needed 2500 points... which is quite hard for Belgium (396 points per game), so I switched to Sweden. Now to advance from division 6 to 5 I need 3000 points. It gets me wondering, how all those RM/Barca/Bayern users ever advance divisions after all. Or do they simply not care about it? And what's the point of setting such a high bar for promotion. In fact in the worldwide ranking I see even the best players seem to be only in division 4.

Having just lost about a week of progress towards the Saoshyant achievement in my Crusader Kings 2 Ironman game, I am somewhat vexed.

Since adventurers are unbalanced, unrealistic and not remotely fun, I'd like to play without them. Unfortunately, I can't simply disable The Old Gods DLC as that would also disable Zoroastrians and the 867 start.

Is there a way to balance or remove adventurers while still being able to access Old Gods content and without disabling achievements?

texts: Install / Sync Multiple Steam games over LAN

texts:
I have a bunch of Macs that I'd like to install the same Steam games on (they all have separate accounts) I'd like to be able to install it on one and have Steam leach the files from that machine instead of the Internet. The games total 10GB which would be fast over LAN but slow over the net.

I know it uses some P2P tech, is it clever enough to detect nearby hosts? Or can I copy some steam install files manually?


texts: What are the patterns for the Northern animals?

texts: Similar to this question about the animals you rescue in the Savannah, what are the rescue patterns for the animals in the Northern area? I've noticed that the patterns get more complex with each area you open, so I'd like to minimize the chances I waste trying to find out the patterns.


texts: Are skill points spent on upgrades to Elven Rage refunded upon entering Act 4?

texts:
My approach to spending skill points has been a bit sloppy, and I have no idea if I even spent any of my points in Elven Rage in the 1st 3 acts of the game.  But I did notice that when Act 4 starts that 2 new skills are added and that one of them took the place of a former skill.  After a bit of research, I've discovered that the lost skill is Elven Rage.  Honestly, I didn't use it much anyway.

So, does anyone know if points spent to upgrade Elven Rage go to the gone-forever-place, or are they refunded when (un)life changes for Talion?


texts:
So, the Quests page on the Codex screen has 4 boxes.  The first two are Vor's Prize, which is the tutorial quest, and Howl of the Kubrow, which is the second quest.

Now I know there's a third quest, and that's for Mirage, the newest warframe, but since there are 4 boxes, does this mean there's a 4th secret mission?

What quests are available to me, and how do I start them?


texts: Why can't I murder this drunk guy and why is he a target? (aka: Where do I find Duccio for the Bully Achievement?)

texts:
While exploring the Constantine district, north of the Romani HQ, but south of the blacksmith's shop I found a small courtyard with a well wherein a drunk man is... well, being drunk.  Every time I approach this courtyard, there he is, being drunk.  The problem is he's got a red target on top of his head, which usually means he's part of some mission.

I first noticed him during the Master Assassin mission, "The Trickster, Part 2" where I was tailing a rogue Romani.  I poisoned him then, thinking he was related to the quest.  However, I still had to kill the Romani in order to complete the quest.

I've poisoned him, stabbed him a dozen ways, arrowed him, bombed him, called assassins on him, grabbed him and thrown him, tripped him, etc, and I can't seem to figure out what he's for and why he's on my radar as a target.  Every time he dies, if I leave the area he resets.  Killing him is worth about 20% awareness as well.

It's been several saves/reloads since I first encountered him, and there he is, enjoying his wine and staggering about.  What's the point of this guy?

Is this just a glitch, or is there some mission I need him for?


texts: How can I change focus without firing up the throttle?

texts: I can use tab to change between foci, e.g. if my focus is Kerbin and I hit tab, focus shifts to the Mun. However to go back without cycling through every celestial object requires pressing shift +tab, which fires the throttle, which alters my course. Is there any way around this?


texts: (Java Minecraft 1.14) How to force entity to make use of Jump Boost in pathfinding?

texts:
I am making a 'vampire' mob for a datapack I'm writing. It is a husk where I've set the attributes and  everything to make it faster, hit harder, and have more health, and tagged it so I could recognize it from the other husks:

summon minecraft:husk ~ ~ ~ {Tags:["DM_vampire"],Silent:1b,DeathLootTable:"dark_magic:vampire",Health:60.0f,Attributes:[{Name:"generic.maxHealth",Base:20.0,Modifiers:[{Name:"tripleHealth",Amount:2,Operation:1}]},{Name:"generic.movementSpeed",Base:0.23000000417232513,Modifiers:[{Name:"speedBoost",Amount:1,Operation:1}]},{Name:"generic.attackDamage",Base:3.0,Modifiers:[{Name:"bigPunch",Amount:2.5,Operation:1}]}]}

My problem is that every tick I run
execute as @e[tag=DM_vampire] run effect give @s minecraft:jump_boost 1 1 true,
but the mob doesn't make use of it. For example, if I am in survival standing on top of a two block high wall, the husk can jump on top, but doesn't, and just stands running at the wall, because its pathfinding doesn't take the effects into account.

Is there a way for me to get around this? I've thought of trying to manually adjust the pathfinding by conditionally applying levitation, so if the husk has not been moving for a few seconds, but is in pursuit of a player. However, I'm a bit stuck because as far as I can tell there is no NBT tag for when a mob is chasing a player.

Is there a trick to force mobs to jump other than when their pathfinding dicatates?


texts: Grand Theft Auto V Setup Tool requires Windows Media Player

texts:
The title says it all, and I seem to have a bit of a problem with WMP. Windows just decides to be a horrible jerk and fails the installation in Windows Features. The failure is always accompanied by "An error has occured. Not all features were changed successfully." error message.

As any power user would do, I'm at my wit's end after attempting to fix the problem via the sfc /scannow command in CMD, and countless hours of Googling. All the help displayed is tutorials on how to enable WMP in Windows Features. What else can I do now? Is there some method to bypass the tool's detection of WMP?

I have the PC retail version.
