texts: Can I make my Sims age again? What is a workaround for this bug?

texts:
I seem to have a bug that is preventing my Sims from aging. It happened after my Sim had a baby. The "x days left until aging" bar never increases. Aging IS active in my game options.

I found this thread on The Sims 3 that discusses the bug but no one mentioned any solutions. Is there any way to get around this? I have every EP except Seasons and none of the Stuff Packs.

texts:
I recently had the Amazing Follower Tweaks mod, and I uninstalled it while forgetting I already had a follower in-game. Basically what's happened is my follower, Marcurio, refuses to leave my service. He gives me the dialogue, and the game gives me a notification that my follower has left my service, but he still follows me around. I've even gone straight to the point and tried setting my follower count to 0 in the console, but that did absolutely nothing. I'd like to keep him, so I don't want to kill him, but is there another way I can force followers from my service?

The icing on the cake is that whenever I activate him, instead of saying good morning or one of his usual lines, he gives me a taunt from the Throw Voice shout.

EDIT: For those who were unsure, yes I shut down the game before removing said mod.


texts: (Java Minecraft 1.14.2) How to recursively (or otherwise) determine if a closed 2D arbitrarily sized rectangle of blocks has been placed?

texts:
The title is a little complex, so let me explain it more fully. I am writing a datapack where I want to be able to run some commands if there is a rectangle of iron bars placed which is complete. I also specifically don't want it to run if there are any breaks/intersections in the rectangle with other iron bar structures. I don't know the size of the rectangle or the y coordinate or anything but these facts: it will be a rectangle of iron bars all in the same y level which is in the overworld. In addition, there needs to be a block right below each bar. The end goal of this is that the player can place a rectangle of iron bars to mark out an area where only they can go, and other players inside this rectangle are hit with lightning until they leave. The other feature I'd like to have (although not necessary) is for the process to eliminate the possibility of a player having multiple areas. If this is not possible, however, it is no big deal. Here is what I've come up with so far:

Edit: I removed what I had originally to reflect progress made, mostly by Fabian in the comments.

Whenever a player places an iron bar, which could be detected with a scoreboard, a raycasting function is triggered to get the coordinates of the iron bar. After testing to make sure that there are two blocks of air over it and a solid block under it, using

execute if block ~ ~1 ~ air if block ~ ~2 ~ air unless block ~ ~-1 water unless block ~ ~-1 ~ cave_air unless block ~ ~-1 ~ lava...,

I spawn in two armor stands. One of them stands still to mark the starting position and the other one, rotated parallel to the iron bar it's on, teleports 1 block forwards along the rectangle, doing the above check for each position. It also makes sure that all bars are either straight or corners, and when it encounters a corner, the teleportation rotates it to have it continue around the rectangle.

An important part would be making sure the armor stand always starts facing the clockwise direction, so whenever it encounters a corner it can be set to turn 90 degrees to the right.

If any of the tests fail: if a solid block is missing, if a rail is missing, if there is a bar with an intersection... the armor stands are killed. They, of course, are spawned back in for another test the next time the player places a rail.

            >>>>
    A------x------B
   ^|             |
   ^|             |
    w             y
    |             |
    |             |
    D------z------C
       <<<<

One armor stand stands still at one of the midpoint letters (w, x, y, z), while the other moves around clockwise, turning the corners at A, B, C, and D with 90 degree turns, finally getting back to the letter it started at. No matter which letter it starts at, it should move clockwise.

The problem I'm now running into (besides actually implementing the process described above) is that when the armor stands make it all the way around, they need to mark themselves and the player with a unique identifier. This is so player A and player B, who both have rectangles, can't go into each other's rectangles as well as their own, which is what would happen if they had the same, non-unique tag. Commands make this hard because there is no way to pass a String to another command, and generating, saving, and using random numbers in the middle of commands is really difficult.

texts: Who are the people who help with "Let Sleeping Mountains Lie"?

texts:
Early on in Final Fantasy XV's "Let Sleeping Mountains Lie" quest, you visit a location where a bunch of NPCs you have met throughout your travels gather together to help you out. (I previously said this was the first thing that happens in post-game content, but apparently that was a mistake. It's just common, not the actual quest trigger.)

When I got there, the game told me I had met "13 of a possible 14" of them. Of course, instead of thinking "awesome, I did a pretty good job," I thought "who did I miss?!" So, who are the 14 people you can meet there in the diner? I tried looking it up, but the guides I found just gloss over this, saying little more than "a group of NPCs exists, visit them" before skipping ahead to strategy for the more complicated later part of the quest.

As a follow-up, what are the conditions for making each NPC appear (I know it's not necessarily "complete the quest chain" because at least two of them still had more stuff to do) and what do they give you when you're there?

texts: How do weapon statistics relate to game play?

texts:
I'm interested to know what the weapon stats mean in the game. I have made some assumptions, but I'm curious to know if there is any official line on them.

Take the following example of adding a short barrel to my rifle.

So does this mean that with reduced accuracy I'll have less chance to hit an enemy, so more weapon spread. What about mobility? Is a higher value better? Does it affect weapon swapping? Reloading? What benefits are there of lots of noise?

There doesn't really seem to be anything in game to understand what the stats actually mean in real terms.

texts: This is the last and Most Evil Save Box Ever

texts:
After completing the "Final Tower of The Guy", right before the final fight, there is a save box. It is labeled "Evil", so I guess that should tip the player off that something is amiss.

This probably should not come as a big surprise, as frustration and surprise seem to be the rule in this game. Nevertheless, this seems unusually frustrating, even for a game such as this.

Is there anything that can be done? Or does the player need to traverse the "Final Tower of The Guy" before each attempt at the final boss?

Is it best to stay put or walk around when the incense is active?

texts: In what order do psi abilities expire during the next turn?

texts:
Some psi abilities have effects that last for a turn, and then do something special on the next turn. The Codex's Psi Bomb and (spoiler)

   Avatar's Dimensional Rift

are the two abilities that come to mind.

Stasis is another psi ability that will last for a turn, which protects a unit (friendly or otherwise) from damage for a turn.

I had a situation where I cast Stasis on a soldier who was surrounded by a pack of Chryssalids, then nuked the pack with a Dimensional Rift and grenades. The Stasis bubble protected my soldier from friendly fire, but on the next turn, the Stasis bubble expired before Dimensional Rift's second detonation effect activated, which meant that my soldier ended up taking damage from Dimensional Rift's second effect on the following turn.

I'm curious about in which order do psi abilties expire in general, when they're interacting with Stasis. Does it matter whether or not the psi ability is cast by my own soldier (e.g. Dimensional Rift), or an enemy unit (e.g. a Codex Psi Bomb)?

If a Codex casts Psi Bomb on a soldier, and then I cast Stasis on the same soldier, during the next turn, will Stasis expire before or after the Psi Bomb detonates?


texts:
I want to use the Unlock Potential feature to raise my 4-star heroes into 5-star heroes.

To do so requires Great Badges and Hero Feathers.
Specifically it costs 20 Great Badges and 20,000 Hero Feathers.

The 20 Great Badges seem easy enough to get, beat the training tower on level 6 or higher to get a badge or two.

However I'm stuck on the 20,000 Feather requirement, as far as I am aware I can obtain feathers from simple tasks such as:

Tapping on my friend's hero once a day on the Home page (I've gotten 3-4 each day so far)
Tapping on one of my heroes once a day on the Home page (whoever has hearts floating around them, gives 5)
PvP end of season rewards (last week I obtained 1,300ish for my rank)
Sending heroes home from the Allies page.

The sending home part I am confused about, when I go to "send" different units of the same star value, it usually gives the same amount of feathers, however some units are different, for example:

Tiki is 3-star, level 21, and will give 300 feathers.
Wrys is 3-star, level 17, and will give 150 feathers.
Hana is 3-star, level 1, and will give 150 feathers.
Lissa is 2-star, level 1, and will give 10 feathers.

Is this due to Tiki just being a better hero than Wrys? Or does the feather value double after a certain level?

I'd like to know so I can determine the best way to obtain Feathers.

In short, I'd like to know:
What are all the ways to obtain Hero Feathers, and will leveling up heroes yield more feathers?

texts:
I was recently playing Castle Crashers with my two roommates.  They hadn't yet finished the final boss, but my character had.  We went through the last few levels that they hadn't completed, making sure not to skip anything.  After completing the game, they didn't get the achievement and we couldn't enter insane mode.  Is this because of some sort of level parity, or are you simply not allowed to beat the final boss if anyone in your party already has?

They created a game without me and were allowed to go directly to the final boss and after they beat it without me, everything unlocked as it should.


texts: How does armor work in Shogun 2: Total War?

texts:
I've played Shogun 2 for a while now, and something I still don't understand is armor. The unit with the most notable armor is the Naginata Samurai with 9. Compare that to a Yari Ashigaru that has 2 armor, and it seems like there's a huge difference. I can see the number value of unit armor, but I don't understand is how that factors into combat. Does armor reduce the damage done by arrows? Does armor just give an increased dodge chance?

I think these might be questions of how combat is calculated by the game engine and not just of armor, but armor is my real concern. I can immediately see the effects of increased attack or morale, but not as much by increased armor.

How does armor affect the survivability of a unit?

texts: How can I claim a duchy from an unrelated courtier, and keep the duchy in my kingdom?

texts:
In Crusader Kings II, there tends to be a motley collection of people with a claim on some particular duchy or county. You can press such a claim by inviting one of these people to court, which will allow you to declare war on the current holder of the title; if you win the war, then the guy with the claim gets the title (and loves you dearly). Of course, going to war just to hand a title to somebody else is no fun, unless they end up as one of your vassals once the war is over.

I've found a good way to bring counties into your kingdom: give that courtier a county (so he becomes your vassal), and then, once the war ends, the courtier-you-promoted-to-count will still be your vassal, and that new county will become part of your kingdom.

My question is, How does this work for duchies? If I give the courtier a county (so he becomes my count), then will he be my duke once the war ends? Or will he decide that he's going to take his duchy and become independent?  Do I need to give him a duchy if I want him to be my duke after the war? How can I press a courtier's claim for a duchy and make sure that duchy becomes part of my kingdom?

texts: In Hero Mode, is a Heart Medal almost ineffective in dungeons? What about with two?

texts:
I'm playing through Hero Mode. After I started the Lanayru Mining Facility, I left, got one of the Heart Medals, and returned for the rest of the dungeon.

I destroyed three or four dozen barrels and pots after equipping the Heart Medal, and in that whole time, I got only two hearts, plus one each from two Spumes, for a total of four.

I didn't even get hearts from the pots that were previously guaranteed to have hearts. I didn't even get hearts from the pots in the boss chamber!

If a Heart Medal gets me only four hearts per dungeon, I think I'd rather leave it with Peatrice and carry something else. Is this typical? And when I get the other Heart Medal later on, will carrying both render them any more effective than carrying the one?

texts: Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition not saving

texts:
I've installed Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition in my PC (Windows 10). The installation was successful and the game works fine. I saved and quit the game after playing 1 hour. When I again launched the game, I found there is no save happened and I verified the Characters Folder inside Bioware in My Documents. The folder is created with my character name and inside there is Saves and inside it there are  Autosave_1 & slot_1 Folders but all the folders are empty.
There are full permission for the folders too.

Tried reinstalling/restarting multiple times. Did not work. When I search in internet, they say it might be due to permission Issue, but full control is given for all folders .

Please help me to resolve the Issue.

texts:
Currently, I'm trying to be as cheap as I can think to be in rival smash: using characters like Bowser and Zelda to keep the rival in the air as much as possible, while taking advantage of their decent offensive capabilities. The most I can seem to get is 20, but Challenge Board 3 has a requirement of 50 kills.

I understand that there is a decent amount of skill required to complete this, but I'm sure there are some characters who naturally do better than others. Is this true, and if so, which characters work well for this encounter?


texts: What happens if Baron Rivendare and Dreadsteed die at the same time?

texts:
In Hearthstone there are the two minion cards Baron Rivendare and Dreadsteed.

The Baron's ability is "Your minions trigger their Deathrattles twice" and the Dreadsteed has "Deathrattle: Summon a Dreadsteed."

Imagine the first player has both on the table. What happens if the second player kills both at the same time, say with a card which kills all minions?

Does the first player remain with one or two Dreadsteeds?

I read the answer to the question suggested in the first comment, but the situation is different here. There it were two cards with Deathrattle. Here is just one. Anyway the answer indicates that it relies on the order the cards were played. But I am not sure at all...

texts: ducking in punchout/super punchout (esp. w Super Macho Man)

texts:
Something I have noticed in both titles, on both emulators and the native system, is that when I am trying to do multiple ducks in succession, I end up accidentally dodging left or right instead of ducking. To the best of my knowledge,  I am hitting down on the dpad, not left or right. This also can happen when I need to make a single, very quick duck, but I notice it more often with successive ducks.

The most typical case of this is dodging spin punches from Super Macho Man. This definitely happens on both snes and nes versions. Am I just not hitting down on the dpad hard enough? Have you experienced this? I can't count the number of times I duck successfuly, and then try to duck again, only to end up dodging right or left and getting knocked out by a spin punch. Am I doing something wrong? Is there any strategy to prevent this? Any help would be much appreciated!


texts: Is it cost effective to use your power nodes to unlock doors?

texts:
A power node runs for about 10,000 credits in Dead Space.

When one uses a power node to unlock a door one receives quite a bit of ammo and supplies inside.  But it seems like it's not always a full 10,000 credits worth of goods.  So I'm wondering if I'm better off saving my power nodes for later or if using them to unlock doors is always a net win in terms of credits.

Also, if anyone knows offhand, what is the average credit values of a power node cache?

My question is, if I buy that garage, steal 4 armored trucks, and save them in the garage, will I receive money from the trucks each and every time I retrieve them from the garage? Could I use this trick to earn tons of money?

texts: Why ever turn off the redstone clock in this mob farm?

texts:
TL;DR: Is there a technical reason for ever turning off the Redstone "clock" in this mob farm design (single-player world)?

In another Arqade question I posted earlier, I explained that I'm a Minecraft n00b trying to build a mob farm in Survival Mode for my compound following the instructions I found in the Basic AFK Mob Farm - Minecraft 1.14 - Basic Builds video from BlendsCraftTV. There are several questions I have about the mob farm design, but my next question for those of you experienced in Minecraft is regarding the Redstone "clock" used to activate the "flushing" system (starting at about 6:44 in the video). Turning it on with the lever starts the Redstone repeaters ticking away, which triggers the Observer, which then triggers the Dispenser to release the water in timed increments, thus flushing any mobs on the "spawning floor" into the already flowing water, which then drops them down to the killing floor. I understand those mechanics but, what I don't understand is why you would ever turn the Redstone clock off.

I mean, according to the instructions, you turn it on just before you go AFK, then turn it off before going down to collect your goodies. That means, to me, that the spawning is taking place while the flushing system is active, so the cycle should continue indefinitely as long as the Redstone clock is running, which leads me to ask, why would I ever want/need to turn off the Redstone clock?

The only reason I can think of would be to allow a larger number of mobs to collect in the spawning chamber so that the next time you start the clock you're able to harvest a few more resources, but I honestly can't think of any "good" reason to turn the clock off or any "significant" detrimental effects of leaving it running all the time.

texts: My far apart villages are becoming one village

texts:
Note that this is Minecraft Bedrock, the latest non-beta update (as of 4/18/20) which I believe contains everything in 1.15
This question is not a duplicate of other iron golem farm related questions because it uses the updated mechanics and presents a unique problem related to job site blocks and how they define a village.
My problem
On the Minecraft wiki it is stated that a village is defined as a radius of 32 blocks from either the village center or the farthest Point of Interest block, whichever is further. This gives a minimum radius of 32 blocks. I have a villager breeder and an iron golem farm both of which are more than 64 blocks apart but they seem to function as one village
beds and bells
From the wiki "A village center is the northwest bottom corner of a point-of-interest (POI) block, which can be a bed pillow or bell, or workstation and bell if there are no beds.". Given that my iron farm and breeder both have beds, I believe mt village centers are defined by my beds or bells and those centers are more than 64 blocks apart.
job site blocks
My farthest job site block in my iron farm is exactly 64 blocks away from my farthest job site block in my villager breeder. The beds are even further apart due to the design of the iron farm. Even if I had no beds the centers would still be more than 32 blocks apart and thus should not become the same village because the centers don't come within the 32 block radius of each other. The circles may intersect but neither center should be inside either circle. My understanding is that the circles can overlap, but they only form one blob when both "centers" are within 32 blocks.
what I've seen

my villager breeder spawns cats whereas my iron farm does not
sometimes villagers from the breeder will link to job site blocks on the iron farm.

job site linking problems
The wiki says that villagers search a 48 block radius for job site blocks. Given that my breeder villagers are always 64 blocks or more from the job site blocks of the iron farm, I don't know how they're linking.
conclusion
My question is why does this happen? Is the wiki correct for the bedrock edition? Is this that bug where villages expand forever: MCPE-46581? What is the real radius I should take into account when making iron farms and villager breeders? Just how far away can villagers link to job site blocks normally and what should I do to fix this?
Update
Before fixing anything cats would not spawn at all in either the breeder or the iron farm. Villagers would link to the beds in the breeder or the iron farm
I removed the bell and beds from my breeder and my iron farm still did not work. Cats spawned between the two farms when they should have spawned in the iron farm due to the presence of beds. Villagers still acted the same
Not until I removed the job site blocks at the breeder did the cats finally start spawning in my iron golem farm. Now the villager breeder is effectively removed. The villagers in the breeder suddenly wanted to move to the iron farm despite being more than 64 blocks from it.

I was hoping that this rig would eventually disappear form lack of activity, but it still registers a ~20% transport rate for both oil and passengers, so I doubt it's going to go away.

texts: When Lulu's shield is on a teammate, who do Pix's bolts count for?

texts:
When a Lulu puts her shield (E) on a teammate, every time they auto-attack Pix also fires a bolt.  Does this bolt "count" for Lulu or that character?

For example, let's say your AD carry is trying to get red buff.  You, as Lulu, put your shield on them.  Now every time the AD carry auto-attacks, there is a Pix bolt added to it.  If it just so happens that the damage from Pix's bolt is what kills the Elder Lizard, will Lulu end up with the buff?  Or will the AD carry still get it?

The same question could be asked for champion kills.

If it counts for Lulu, this seems like a big hazard as a support character.

Shadow-stepping? Again, if you activate it while an attack is "in transit" toward you, does it affect the chance to hit?
Any other ways to dodge?

texts: Does a Charr take her partner's last name when she marries?

texts: My wife and I are thinking of creating married Charrs, and we think it'd be cool if they shared a last name. However, we're also trying to stick to Guild Wars 2 naming conventions. Is there anything in the game's lore that deals with this subject? Is there any precedent for this?


texts: How to unlock locked tables in Williams Pinball Classics

texts:
I've just started playing Williams Pinball Classics for Xbox 360 (Release date: 17/06/2011). In the Arcade mode, I found a locked table named "Jive Time" in the Back Room. Are there any other unlockable tables in the game?

As far as I know, I need 100 credits to unlock a table in the game. At the moment, I have 130 credits but I can't unlock that table. When I select the table, there is only one option (B Button = Back). What do I need to do to unlock the table(s) in this game?

texts: Floating Watcher + Spreading Madness probabilities?

texts:
In arena, I got a Warlock draft with both Floating Watcher and Spreading Madness. I haven't been able to play them together yet, but the concept of it got me wondering what the expected probabilities look like.

I mean, max gain from this combo is a 22/22 Floating Watcher but chances of that are slim to none. But what are the odds that I kill the Watcher? And what would my average result look like?

I would think of this as a potential comeback strategy, so I wouldn't try this if I had minions on my side of the field. If I did, I'd trade them off first. If necessary for the comparision, assume there is nothing else on the board (best case scenario).

Is there a way to bypass the stupid 'play dice with dwarf to 'win' a required quest item' in Witcher 2?
I hate chance based mini games and it's ridiculous that the game designer would force you to play one to progress a main quest.

texts:
I was playing Borderlands and managed to finish most of the game with one of my friends who hosted the game. The only things we didn't do were the DLC arenas and the Crawmerax quest. Our levels were 46 and it was still playthrough 1.

I then asked another one of my friends to join me (I hosted the game) with a high-level character, 69, to tank Crawmerax. That went quite well, I gained 2 levels and then we stopped the game.

Now my problem is, whenever I try to play solo continuing my playthrough 1, all the enemies are scaled to this 2nd friend's level I think; basically, any enemy I see is at level 62.

Is there any way I could revert this back to what it should be? I tried inviting a friend with a lower level to see if it helps but it didn't :(

Edit: playthrough 2 seems to be fine but there's still some stuff I wanted to do in playthrough 1 - like farming MINAC for the silly achievement items.


texts: Nintendo Switch - Joy-Con Single mode for Fifa 18

texts:
I've read that there is a possibility to play Fifa 18 on Nintendo Switch with a single joy con controller out of a pair. Basically sharing Joy-Con left and Joy-Con right between two players, thus using one pair of Joy-Con to play with two players.

EA is noting about that feature here: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/fifa/fifa-18/play-fifa-18-built-for-nintendo-switch/ - but I could not yet find any explanation how to make this work (neither online, nor by try and error with the Switch console).

Can someone explain how to use this feature with Nintendo Switch?

When I try to add Bionic Commando: Rearmed (purchased via GamersGate) to Steam, I get the following error message:

What the heck does that mean?  And is there a workaround?

This may or may not be relevant, but the Gamersgate installer installed the game to the 'windows games' directory, which seems to behave differently from the rest of the system.

This is what I see when I view the shortcut properties:

Here is a very informative chat conversation that should give you lots of more information about this that I can't be bothered to accurately record here.

texts: Are there any cinematics that depict gnomes?

texts:
So Blizzard just showed the Legion cinematic introduction, and gnomophiles are again upset that no gnomes are shown. Apparently, this has been happening in every cinematic released for World of Warcraft. In fact, the only cinematic I can think of that shows a gnome is the promotional video for the level 90 upgrade you can buy. As far as I know, all other playable races have been shown in cinematics, but gnomes haven't made any appearance yet.

I only play Horde and only PvE, so maybe there's some cinematic during PvP or in the Alliance campaign that shows a gnome. I'm not sure though. Is there any cinematic in any of the expansions, whether it be prerendered, using the ingame engine or actually recorded, that shows a gnome? I know there are several quest-related events that show things from your perspective involving a gnome (like the entire Gnomeregan eventline), but that's not what I'm after.

So in which cases should the Terran base be walled off?

texts: Stuck on "Updating setup files..." when installing Diablo 3?

texts:
After a reasonable hiatus from Blizzard games, I have decided to reinstall Diablo 3. I used to have it installed and working on this machine and removed my previous install using Add/Remove Programs. However, now when I try to reinstall the game, the Diablo 3 Setup starts 'Updating setup files...' and then hangs;

I have had a quick google for ideas on how to fix it which seems to bring up a bunch of posts when the server loads were really high last year, nevertheless I have been through the list of suggestions, making sure that secondary login is enabled, running the installer as administrator, etc.

After leaving the installer for ~30 minutes, it finally brings up an error stating it could not run the Blizzard agent;

This gives me an error code - BLZPTS00007 - which gives me a few more google hits including a seemingly official guide on how to troubleshoot agent issues on Battle.net, however performing the steps listed under 'Advanced Troubleshooting' still hasn't resolved my problem.

How can I get past "Updating setup files..." when reinstalling Diablo 3, and what is error BLZPTS0007?


texts:
I was reading about the PS5 and the new Xbox and it felt like game consoles improve themselves by using existing (high end) technology. This made me wonder if any new (at the time of creation) technology has been invented which came from videogames.

A quick internet search shows many results on how games evolved over the years and how they have incorporated modern technology but it seems that nothing new has come out of the video game industry other than video games. Is this true?

By new technology I mean anything from hardware to graphics and other fields.

Have videogames advanced technology or are they only for entertainment?

texts: Is there any way to limit cinematics in Fallout 3?

texts:
I love V.A.T.S. except for the cinematic part...

So two ghouls attack me, racing up a long flight of stairs. I pick a headshot on the first one. The other is entirely hidden behind it so I can't even queue my attack on it. I have a enough time and AP to spare to hit both, first one, then as it falls, the other.

I shoot the head off the first one. The head starts rolling down the stairs. The other ghoul reaches me and starts pounding mercilessly, while the cinematics shows the head rolling in slow motion, with my character doing nothing about getting murdered far in the background. Only after the head comes to a standstill three floors below, I'm given my control back and can try re-entering V.A.T.S. to get my second target while under avalanche of the enemy blows.

Is there any mod/trick/console command to return control and remove the cinematic part after the enemy is killed?

texts: What is the most cost efficient way to increase storage on an Xbox 360?

texts:
Specifically, I want to buy a 360 but I also want to be able to download games from the marketplace.  The cheapest console is 4gb, which won't be enough to hold even one premium game, so I'm curious if it's a better idea to spend the extra $100 to get the 250gb console or if it is cheaper to replace my hdd with a bigger one when I need to.

Cost is not the only factor (a major one though).  Are there other disadvantages to replacing the hard drive (such as loss of warranty? the reason I'm buying a new console is for the warranty, after all).

Also, a valid answer could explain how I could use an external hard drive that I already own to store and play games purchased from the xbox live marketplace.

After deciding I don't need the money from selling all my loot any more, I've started salvaging all the things. Unfortunately, this has left me with a surplus of junk odds and ends I'm never going to use - after all, I would never stoop so low as to wield a staff crafted with novice bindings. Crafting it into vendor trash isn't really useful since I don't need money, but I would like to have better equipment.

Is there any way to do something like with shards, and somehow refine or reinforce or reforge or re-something my components into better-quality ones?

texts: For a non-lethal run, do I need to keep bodies off the ground?

texts:
In Dishonored 1, if you left an unconscious body on the ground it was likely that rats would eat it, leading to an unintended kill. So every time I did a non-lethal takedown, I had to look around for a shelf, roof, or dumpster where I could safely tuck my sleeping victim.

Is that necessary in Dishonored 2? I haven't seen rats swarm on a corpse yet, and since there's not a rat plague hopefully they won't. But I'd hate to mess up a non-lethal run by accident.


texts: In Clash of Clans there was an update on 9/16 adding a Tie-breaker into the wars, can anybody explain in detail how this mechanism works?

L9      2,400,000   4       1       0           0
L10     4,000,000   5       2       0           0
L11     6,000,000   6       4       0           0
L12     8,400,000   7       6       0           0
L13     12,000,000  -       7       1           0
L14     17,000,000  -       -       2           0
L15     24,000,000  -       -       3           0
L16     40,000,000  -       -       4           2

Considering higher-level requirements do not include less-level medals, is it possible to skip some levels entirely?

For example, would someone who has 17M AP and two platinum medals be promoted to L14, even if he hasn't the 7 gold medals required for L13?

Or are the levels applied sequentially so that L13 is an actual requirement for L14?

texts: Dependence between spells and spellpower

texts:
Is there any kind of list with the dependence between spells effects and spell power?

For example I have Irina (sanctuary) level 19, with 28 spell power. At this point my tsunami stuns for 1 turn. I remember (long ago) when I first played, I managed to get the tsunami to stun for 4 turns (was pretty OP, but that's beside the point).

So my question is, is there any way to find out when the next spell "level" is achieved? A table or a formula or something?

EDIT:

Seems most people didn't understand what I'm asking so I'll try to rephrase: Is there any way to find out how spells depend on spell power?

Something like: you have 1 spell power lighting bolt does 10 dmg. You have 100 spell power lighting bold does 9999 damage. You have 1 spell power blind duration is 1 turn. You have 100 spell power blind duration is 10 turns.

texts: Is there any purpose to the Thieves Guild other than to introduce the Scoundrel? Do they show up again in a random dungeon/cave?


texts:
Preamble:

I don't care for direct science victory as a primary objective, however; I do realize the importance of science for the game. On Emperor I have no problem keeping up on science against the AI (I'm almost always 1st or 2nd in demographics), however; on Immortal I have issues keeping up.

My Play-Style:

My typical priority for a city (generally I keep by this with a few obvious exception cases):

Build available food buildings
Build a worker if needed
Build available science buildings
Build military units if at war
Build buildings specific for that city's strategy or civilization's strategy

I get my worker building farms immediately, I go for writing ASAP, and I build libraries as soon as possible. The only other way I know of possibly preventing this lag-behind is building the Great Library or Capturing the City that has it.

I don't always immediately go for the National College but I get it relatively early-on.

I'm always in last before I even get the chance to get Rationalism. I don't usually settle in Jungle heavy areas nor do I build trade-posts abundantly so I doubt Rationalism would save me from this seemingly inevitable doom. What can I do to avoid this?

Question(s):

What can I do to not fall behind in Science output on immortal?
Is focus on Science early-game a must do?
Would relations with City-States help? If so, which types? Maritime?

texts: Does EVE:Valkyrie reward players for deceiving each other?

texts:
I've been reading about this game and wonder if you have to be involved in politics when playing the game or is this only for well-seasoned players? Is deception part of the main goal of the game or just a consequence of the game being a shooter? Could you have a more "peaceful" or passive approach? I have very supeficial knowledge of  the game but for example in other MMORPGs some people focus on trading/crafting items.

I am mainly investigating this claim:

  For example, the MMORPG EVE Online is known for fostering a style of
  play that involves manipulating and deceiving other players. The VR
  version of EVE Online, EVE: Valkyrie, has been described as
  “[u]ndoubtedly the most heavily anticipated virtual reality game.”
  Based on some of the empirical results surveyed above (see “Illusions
  of Embodiment and Their Lasting Effect”), there is cause for concern
  about behavioral patterns rewarded in immersive games such as EVE:
  Valkyrie having a lasting influence on the psychological profile of
  users.

21 turns seems incredibly powerful, given that the Golden Ages for great people last (I think) 10 turns to begin with. (And at my current game stage 5 or 6 turns.)

Is this correct or is the gaming displaying a bogus value? (Or would you consider this a balancing bug?)

Do upgrades of the same type stack? Additive or multiplicative?

Broken walls were repaired.
At least some computer terminals were un-hacked, even though I'd gotten every one available on the first run. Door panels were always still hacked.
The available areas were slightly different - i.e. the police station was locked up the second time but a new area was available as part of the main quest.
No new items seemed to be available in the areas common to both visits.

I've been making custom themes for my 360 for almost a decade, but I can't figure out how to get a custom "premium"-grade theme to work. I know that most premium themes from the Xbox marketplace have DRM and a license, but why don't my custom ones work? I would like to achieve this on a retail Xbox 360 if possible.

I do know how they work, right down to the formatting, dimensions, and color-range needed. Could this perhaps be related to the NTFS package that houses the theme's content? I did do some digging on this quite a few years ago and saw the term "strongsigning" tossed around, but I didn't find much on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


texts: What tools do you use to help you build structures?

texts:
When looking at Minecraft pictures, I see that lots of people build lots of really neat structures, but I really wonder how they build some structures. Are the using some external tool to help them plan?

For example, let's take the case of a simple sphere, dome, or arch.  How do you figure out where the blocks should be placed?  Do you simulate the structure in some other tool?  Do you use a calculator and the appropriate equations?

texts: Tickets are, apparently, the premium currency in RCT4.  What are these tickets used for?  Can you still fully play the game without purchasing any?


texts: Can a StarCraft II digital download be put on multiple computers?

texts: I want to buy StarCraft II on the Blizzard website, but I want it installed on two different computers (both Macs). I'm wondering if I can install it on two different computers through Battle.net, or am I better off just buying a hard copy of the game and doing it that way?


texts: Is there a more efficient way to wire a row of pistons?

texts: I want to create two sets of two adjacent pistons with a two block gap between them for a melon farm.  It seems as though I'm using a prodigious amount of redstone for each section.  This is my first redstone circuit, but is there a better way?


texts: Will attack rating of my sword decrease when leveling up?

texts:
I just got a new weapon (Watcher's Greatsword), upgraded it to +5 and infused it with magic.

Now, I wanted to spend my souls on leveling but when I pull up the leveling screen and change the points of an attribute, the attack rating of my main weapon (said greatsword) drops drastically.

Is this really the attack rating the sword will have after my level-up? The weapon would become worthless for me. I can only assume this is a bug. I'm stuck with a lot of souls now because I don't want my weapon to loose so much power.

In the top right corner it displays a drop from 487 to 327.

I also un-equipped the weapon and used another one instead. For other weapons I don't see any decrease. Why would there be any? But, for this one greatsword it shows this huge drop in attack rating.

Anyone got a clue what is going on here? Can I safely level-up with loosing that much attack rating on my greatsword?
