texts:
The new SimCity allows cities to share benefits such as RCI demand, commuters, unlocks, and utility and safety services. What is not clear is whether certain things are always shared region-wide, or if some things are shared only within the cluster.

Are some things (RCI demand, commuters, unlocks, etc.) shared only by "cluster" instead of region? If so,

What is shared across the entire region, no matter what?
What is
    shared across the entire region if appropriate connections exist
    (road, rail, sea)?
What is shared only among cities in the same
    cluster?

I am playing with some friends the new Maxis game. We created a 16 city region, but with  disappointment, we've noticed that the city does not share the RCI demands, benefits etc. (even if they are connected by the same highway and railroad) with all the region but only with the adjacent 3-4 cities (we call cluster).

Is it working as intended? The region with 7 cities has a unique cluster?

Thanks


texts: Are NPC conversations different if player goes to DLC area early?

texts:
I noticed that in many conversations with DLC characters Aloy shows that she knows about

   GAIA, HEPHAESTUS and Sylens

But looks like it's possible to go to DLC area before progressing main story to learn about all these things. In that case will DLC NPCs conversations be different? If so, what are the differences?

Okay, I understand lots of questions on this subject but it seems like at level 25(close to bedrock), I hear a slime slapping some times around me BUT when I start mining, nothing is there. This happens mostly when I place glowstone as the floor a little and as well as place torches, I even tried digging it out but still nothing, and the roof is REALLY high.
I even have a ravine close to it but it is not close enough.. Only for water to be heard.

I have tried moving/digging/placing/removing multiple times.

Can anybody give me some HUGE advice on what I am doing wrong? Please and thank you!

texts:
I just broke out my new "Super Luigi U" standalone game, and began playing from the beginning. I soon encounter a little creature claiming to be a Baby Yoshi (directly after the first mini-castle if I'm not mistaken), who begins following me around and going into levels with me.

I only played one level with him (Piranha Heights) when I die and he disappears. But when I went back to the spot where I originally met him, he wasn't there either! After a quick Google search I found people saying the young Yoshi's do spawn back, but that it just "happens".

So my question is: How long is it until Baby Yoshi's will come back? What is the criteria?


texts: Why do I get the message "You missed the Pokémon!"

texts:
I recently started playing Pokémon Blue again from where I left off.  I had just beaten Erika and I was off to Lavender Town to get the Poké Flute. After receiving the flute, I immediately woke up a Snorlax.

I managed to get Snorlax down to an HP level that would kill him if I landed one more move. I had no moves that would freeze, paralyze, or put Snorlax to sleep, so, naturally, I started to throw pokéballs.

On my first throw, I got the message "You missed the pokémon!" to which I tried again with the same result. I threw all 8 of my pokéballs with no luck.

I thought at first that Snorlax could not be caught, like the Marowak you fight before getting the Poké Flute, but it turns out, getting the message "You missed the pokémon!" is the same as the pokémon breaking out as explained in this forum post.

Why do I get this message as opposed to the conventional "The Pokémon broke free"? Could this be because Snorlax is not randomly encountered? Or does this have something to do with catch rates?

Is this limit the same for everything in the game, or do some things 'top off' at a higher level than others?

texts: What genre is Candy Box, A Dark Room, etc.?

texts:
What is the term/genre for games like Candy Box 1/2 and A Dark Room, where there's almost nothing at first but then it grows?

Wikipedia says it's a role-playing game... but... I don't know how they got that.... Anyway, that's too broad a category; I'm looking for a term that's specific to this type of game.

A quick Google search for "candy box genre" led me to this review, which said (not particularly helpfully):

  It’s hard to pin down what genre it is too because while it seems fairly RPG-ish, it isn’t, really. But, I’m not entirely sure WHAT to call it, so we’ll just call it “Candy Box!” genre.

So, what's the term or genre for these types of games?

texts: How to create and use multiple "dancer cards" in Just Dance 2015 on Xbox One?

texts:
I have had previous Just Dance games (2013, 2014) on the Wii, and just got an Xbox One with Kinect and purchased Just Dance 2015.
On the older games -- at least on the Wii -- I was able to create 3 different "Dancer Cards" (one for myself, one for my wife, one for my child), which tracked progress separately and allowed us to play together.

In Just Dance 2015 (at least on Xbox One), it is limiting me to a single Dancer Card at a time. If I am logged in, it shows my Dancer Card, which is associated with my Live Account. If my wife is logged in (and not me), it shows hers (associated with her separate Live Account). And when I am logged in, I can see her in my list of "friends' Dancer Cards", but can't find a way to "select" it.
And if we want to play together, we have to choose one account as the "primary Dancer Card", and all stats/achievements are mashed together into that single account.

Furthermore, when I start a dance, it only allows us to choose from fixed names (Crazy, Funky, Happy, Sunny, etc), rather than allowing our dancers to have "our" names.

Is there any way to allow multiple Dancer Cards to play together on local multiplayer, and/or to allow personalized names (i.e. "Josh" instead of "Crazy") to show up during a dance?

I guess as a secondary question: Is this only a limitation in the Xbox One version, or is it pretty much the same on other platforms?


texts: Where does the "adminlist.txt" file need to go on Ubuntu?

texts:
I have a virtual machine hosted on Microsoft Azure that is running Ubuntu 18.04.  I setup a Valheim dedicated server on it using LinuxGSM.  According to this guide, you need to create an "adminlist.txt" file and add the Steam 64 ID of the users you wish to be an administrator on the server.  The guide then says the file needs to go into the root directory of the server, but I can't figure out where exactly this is.
I tried placing the text file in /home/<serverUsername>/ as well as /home/<serverUsername>/serverfiles, but I was still not an admin within the game (this is after restarting the server as the guide claims).  Where does the text file need to be placed on a Ubuntu installation of a Valheim dedicated server?

If you read this PLEASE make sure you finished the game. If not,  leave this page right now. This may contain content that can spoil you and I really don't want you to be spoiled about this amazing game.

So I tried to just destroy the wind crystal and it worked. So I went through chapter 8 in like 2 minutes. Though I wonder, how long can you keep reanimating crystals before the main story leads you to destroy one? What happens if you destroy a crystal in the first world?


texts:
In Mass Effect 3, one of the options you have to play the game in is called "Action Mode." In this mode, you don't choose your conversation options, they're instead chosen for you, so the game plays out a little more like a typical action game rather than an RPG.

However, in the past 2 games, major decisions between Paragon and Renegade choices often played out very differently in the cinematic. Seeing as (I assume) those choices are made for you, what alignment is an Action Mode playthrough? Is it Paragon, Renegade, or a mix of both?

texts:
I'm a Level 5 dwarves Valkyrie, at Dlvl 6 now, in the Gnomish Mines. I was lucky enough to get a wand of wishing from a jackal, ask for a blessed figurine of an Archon and make it my pet.

There is no denying that an Archon is a good pet(I've just seen it killing a shopkeeper in 2 turns!), so I guess nobody wants to lost it, or make it hostile. My wand of wishing has only been used once, which means I can have another 4-6 wishes.

My questions: What should I wish for to make this pet fiercer and/or safer? Maybe a ring of polymorph control? Also, any tips for me? Perhaps wishing for a pet is stupid, but I've never seen such a powerful creature before, and it's my pet now!

Bonus question: How to check the equipments my pet currently has?

texts: Grid layout for lefties does not work with 'w' key

texts:
I cannot get my w key to work in Starcraft 2. I can assign a hotkey to it in settings, and it works in the chat, so it obviously "works", but it never works for unit command hotkeys.

I have a bizarre setup I realize, but I cannot really live without it:

I use Dvorak-International keyboard layout, because I use Dvorak, I use an American keyboard, and I frequently need to type international characters.
I use grid for lefties in Starcraft 2

For some reason, the w key does not register at all during gameplay. This is the c for the normal grid layout. Bottom row, 3rd column of the grid.

This makes it impossible to use a hotkey for:

Hallucination
Transfusion
Raven seeker missile

And others.

Anyone have a suggestion for a solution?

Update

I figured out that it is indeed the layout, and a bug in Starcraft 2. It seems that while Starcraft 2 handles alternate keyboards surprisingly well, it falls short. I found that Starcraft will consider it a duplicate when a dvorak key and its corresponding qwerty key are assigned. That's confusing...

For example, I assign / using my dvorak keyboard (that's the [ key to you qwerty folks). Now I mysteriously cannot assign z (that's / in qwerty). There is no logical reason these should be considered duplicates; they are two physically different keys, so it seems that Starcraft 2 still uses the qwerty layout for some of its checking.

Man I can't think of a better way to explain it; that must be confusing.

Anyway I did as I said and totally revamped my keyboard layout anyway. I have to just live with a few "dead" keys.

Anyone know where I can file a bug report to Blizzard?

Even though I have hundreds of hours in StarCraft 2, there is still one returning issue that I find difficult to solve, even through replays and other VODs or streams.

In Terran versus Terran, the outcome is often more tanks beats less tanks, or better tank micro beats more tanks. But the current game style of Terran versus Terran, is somewhat turning into mech and bio, and even pure bio, with only a few tanks. It emphasizes mobility contra a slow moving army. (statement based on the latest pro tournaments)

My issue is the composition and engagement in general. (as a BIO player)

In TvT, versus a meching player, wouldn't it be best to emphasize
   Marauders?

In this, case, should the bio player focus tanks first most of all?

In TvT, versus a bio player, wouldn't it be best to emphasize
   Marines?

And in this case, wouldn't it be best to focus on the enemy Medivacs
   first?

I'm trying to build a trading machine in SMP where players should be able to pay a fixed price to get a item they selected (in my case music discs). My setup looks like this:

a player selects a item with the "up" and "down" buttons
the player puts the "payment" (for example 10 diamonds) in the ender chest
the diamonds are transferred in another chest and the item the player selected appears in the ender chest

The items are stored in an separate room where the bundled cable goes. The other ender chest is also there.

My questions are:

What could I use as indicator which item is selected?
What engines/wiring/pipes would be needed to pull the diamonds out of the chest, check if the right amount is paid, and put the selected item in the chest?

The modpack I use is Direwolf20.

Is there a way to achieve a similar result for block entities?

texts: How exactly do you do a Sonic Drift in the 3D daytime segments?

texts:
Drifting in the daytime levels of Sonic Unleashed seems either really clumsy1 or just plain hard. Even on the drifting course in Mazuri, it's astoundingly difficult to do it correctly (i.e. without falling off the track). I can't figure out if it's because I drift (press the shoulder button) too early, drift too late, turn too sharply or too little, or all of them combined.

At the risk of this being too broad a question, what tips, control-wise and timing-wise, should I keep in mind in order to pull off a successful and skillful Sonic Drift?

1 Apparently they refined the drifting controls for the modern Acts in Sonic Generations, as it's considerably easier to drift properly in Generations than in Unleashed. But your mileage may vary.

I've talked to them again at Firelink Shrine after defeating the Deacons of the Deep.
I've met Anri at the Catacombs and didn't tell her Horace's Location.

I'll also accept answers that takes upkeep into consideration(most valuable for the upkeep paid) though primarily I am asking for the strongest unit/army.


texts: Are zones 'fixed' at a certain power level or do they scale at all?

texts:
I've tried to look into this and most every answer gives a soft or even a firm 'no', there is no level scaling. Zones have a suggested power level (SPL) and a fixed difficulty that's supposed to make a reasonable challenge at that power level.
But I just encountered something that makes me question it.
I'm on my first play through and I really want to face a reasonable challenge throughout. Rather than adjusting the combat difficulty, I've just been gating my own power growth by no spending points. I've finished half the zones in England and chasing after every map marker (mystery, artifact and treasure) had started putting my level way over the top. So I stopped spending my skill points as I got them and even refunded some to go back down to a zone's suggested level.
Then I came across some enemies that I couldn't beat and beefed up my power level in response to let me advance without having to come back later. Details in the spoiler tag:

 First was Steinnbjorn in Jotunheim. Without realizing it, I was at ~165 when Jotunheim was showing up as SPL 190. Then I saw Steinnbjorn at SPL 400, tried it, got stomped, spent skills up to 190, tried it again, got stomped and then went on to finish the Jotunheim arc.
 After that, I returned to Asgard to finish up the dream-within-a-dream narrative. The quest and zone map were saying SPL 90, same as the first time through Asgard. But when I faced the ever-growing Fenrir, it said his SPL was 280. After getting gnawed on by his burrow attack and 1-shot killed a few too many times, I spent skills up to 230 and beat him.

So long story short, I was at Power Level 230 before getting back to the southern England story line.
Alternate question title:
Is Suthsexe supposed to be 'skull' difficulty?
I committed to Suthsexe at the alliance map and travelled down there via the Lunden docks. After I was in zone for a bit, I remembered my Power Level 230 was 70 over the suggested 160. So I refunded a bunch of skill points.
Then I noticed every enemy had a red skull icon next to their health and stun bars and took about twice as many hits as enemies had previously.
So is Suthsexe supposed to be way harder than previous zones when done 'on level'? Or did I trip some scaling mechanism into juicing up the enemies there before nerfing myself?

Whenever I want to place poles over long distances and try to maximize their wire distance to save poles, it is difficult to do so.

Is there anyway which allows you to hold down LMB and only place poles whenever the pole's wire reached their maximum distance?


texts: What goes missing when changing your quest in Diablo 3?

texts: When I go to change my quest in Diablo 3, I get a prompt telling me "Starting a new game with a new quest will overwrite your currently saved progress".  What will be overwritten?  My checkpoints?  Waypoint access?  Achievements? Whether or not I've killed Diablo?


texts: Can I have both heroes in the same village?

texts: A recent patch to Clash of Clans introduced the heroes: The Barbarian King and the Archer Queen.  From the content SuperCell released I can see that they are immortal and can be used for attack and defense.  The videos only ever showed one at a time though, other than when one was attacking and one was on defense.  Is it possible to have both in the same village.


texts: How do I make a city recover from a disastrous flood?

texts:
A disastrous flood has completely destroyed an important city. The population is now 0; everyone has died:

To make the city recover, I spent money on raising the land:

After some time, a single road section gets built, but nothing else happens. The population is still zero.
How do I make the city recover from a flood? How do I increase the population?


texts: When moving your units, is it possible to prevent them from automatically attacking aliens that are hidden by fog of war?

texts:
If you tell a unit to move to a hex, and that hex is both covered by fog of war and also happens to have an alien on it, your unit will automatically attack the unit.

This is pretty irksome, especially when the unit you're moving is an explorer. If I tell an explorer to move to a hex, and I'm not aware that there is an alien on that hex, my intention as the player is simply to move my explorer, not engage in a risky combat that will threaten the life of my explorer if there happens to be an alien there.

In Alpha Centauri there was an option that let you cancel a unit's remaining movement if the movement order resulted in putting your unit next to an enemy unit. Is there a similar setting somewhere in Beyond Earth that cancels movement if it would result in such an unexpected attack?


texts:
I made a tug with the Klaw to rescue Valentina Kerman, who I had stranded in an orbit of the Mun, and bring her back to Kerbin. During reentry, I set the tug's parachutes to fire at a high pressure, and separated from the mun lander craft, as the tug was expendable but Valentina was not.

After watching Valentina splashdown gently into the ocean, I pressed ] to switch through active ships and observe the tug successfully splashdown as well. After the tug had splashed down, I pressed ] again and was aghast when the message "No nearby objects to focus. Use the Map View to select distant ones." appeared on screen.

I recovered the tug, checked the Tracking Station, and Mun Lander had disappeared. In the Astronaut Complex, Valentina was listed as KIA.

How did she die?

texts: What controller binds are required to complete the story/tutorial?

texts:
I was going through the story today in Squadrons, and got this prompt:

Unhelpfully though, it doesn't tell me exactly what important actions it wants me to have bound other than "everything". I'm using a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick, which doesn't exactly have room to bind "everything". For example, right now joystick buttons 11 and 12 are bound to "open menu" and "show loadout" which seem pretty adequately covered by ESC. What important actions does the story expect that you have bound exactly?


texts: Does Lure counter Luck of the Sea in any way?

texts:
I'm playing on a vanilla Minecraft survival server, and have been trying to get Mending books by fishing. It turns out that I've only gotten one book in about a week of play, and it was Fortune II. This is weird, because my rod is Lure III, Luck of the Sea III, Unbreaking III, Mending, basically the best you can get, and I've been fishing for a very very long time.

I've thought about Lure having something to do with it, after all, it decreased the chances of finding treasure to find more fish in earlier versions, but my question is, does it still happen now, or am I just unlucky?


texts: How to win Asculum Historical battle in Rome Total War?

I've tried to win battle of Asculum by following this strategies:

Send my troops to the mountain situated at the south of the initial position and then defeating the elephants. Light troops and missile troops are used to stop the initial phalanxs. Other heavy infantry is used as a reserve to attack phalanxes at their backs. Cavalry only dies (I only have one unit!)

The same of 1 but right at the initial deployment point.

How do I open the gates in Yaga Shura's Lair?


texts: Why do none of my players want to extend their contact?

texts:
None of my current players seem to want to extend their contacts that are expiring at the end of the month. I brought them out of the Skrill South into the Skrill Premier, along with an FA Trophy. Most of my interactions (team talks/ team meetings) have seemed positively received.

Am I not good enough for them anymore?

texts: What's the best way to test the leaderboard

texts:
I'm aware there is some sort of delay on the leader board, but I'm wondering what is the most efficient way to test circuits involving leaderboards. I'm wanting to make sure it is counting everything correctly, but it is difficult to audit due to the delay.

Could someone also specify exactly how long the delay is and/or what triggers the leaderboard to update.

Cheers!


texts:
I currently have a small realm in Ireland consisting of one duchy in which I have personal control over all the counties (i.e. my entire realm is my demesne). As such, I am the baron of every castle in my realm.

One of the laws I can pass is the option to collect tax from feudal lords (which gives some extra money, at the expense of a negative reputation effect from the lord holding the castle).

However, all of the castles are run by me - is it possible to tax myself in this way? Will the money come from the holding, or my treasury? Will there be any reputation effects? Or will nothing happen until I give up the barony to another lord?

If I pass this law, what will the effects be?


texts: On a map like Cheep Cheep Beach, there's sections with both land and sea driving.  The land driving involves several twists and turns when you could make a more direct route through the water.  Is there a downside to driving underwater versus driving on land?


texts: What is NAT rating and how do I improve it?

texts:
From what I've found, the following appears to reflect how NAT rating affects your multiplayer capabilities:

OPEN - Can play & voice chat with anyone.
MODERATE - May be unable to play or voice chat with STRICT.
STRICT - Can only play & voice chat with OPEN.

However, this does not give me a whole lot of clarity as to what exactly these ratings mean as a reflection on my home network or internet connection, nor what I can do to get my system into an OPEN status.

What conditions might make a system show as MODERATE or STRICT? How can I get my system from MODERATE or STRICT to OPEN, without drastically changing my home network?

texts: Are there any good or known farming spots for Skyshard to drop? I have spent several hours farming the Mogu in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms in an attempt to get the ten Skyshards needed to craft the Sky Crystal. I currently only have one of them and came from the mogu during my farming. I do now for a fact that some mobs change/disappear depending on the dailies that are available that day. So my question is: Where is a good farming spot in Vale of Eternal Blossoms with minimal downtime between mobs.

texts: Can you reorder magic stones after you pick them up in Chantelise?

texts: I can't find anything in the manual regarding this. I know that certain stone combinations will create different spells, so I'm wondering if I need to adjust my current "strategy" of just running around and picking up whatever stones are lying on the ground, or if there's a way to arrange them after the fact. If there's not, then I'll know I need to be more picky about what stones I pick up when.


texts: Minecraft 1.12 turn off tutorial/instructions

texts:
In Minecraft 1.12 and onwards, on the top right hand corner of the screen, a tutorial pops up telling the player what to do. It doesn't go away until the player does what it says.

This is undesirable for server admins like me as well as some of my fellow players, for they are simply annoying and kind of useless, especially when the tutorial tells you to break a tree but the entire map in the server cannot be edited.

Is there any way to disable them?


texts: The flashlight integrated into the default 9mm pistol is eminently useful, but sometimes you need something with a little extra oomph. Are there any other weapons that have a flashlight?


texts: How do you light the random oil lamps found throughout the world?

texts:
I've run across some oil lamps a couple of times now, once in a hidden cave and also at the top of a bell tower.  The lamps flash, the same way loot chests flash, so I'm assuming there's a way to light them, however I don't have any matches and the only flammable item I have is the Molotov cocktail. I've attached a photo of the one I found in the bell tower.

So how do you light them?


texts: What is the maximum possible number of lives?

texts:
In a video of Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, a player managed to get "x12?" next to his health.

I know this stands for amount of times you can die without getting a game over.

What is the maximum number of lives that you could theoretically get by playing the game as is?

In Fallout New Vegas, do I have to keep an eye on the time/date? Are there any events that happen after a certain amount of ingame time?

Can you for example miss something if you arrive to late in a certain place or don't finish a quest until a specific day?

texts: Can you now get villagers through zombie spawners?

texts:
I see people playing around with Minecraft version 1.4, and I see that zombie spawners now also spawn infected villagers.

On another video I saw how you can cure an infected villager. I wonder if you could cure the villagers that are spawned from the zombie spawner.

This would be great for me. I have been wanting to bring villagers to my base, but it would be quite a project as the nearest village is miles away. I have a zombie spawner just under my base, so that would be ideal.

EDIT:

I answered the question bellow with screenshots. Here is a video I made of the system:


texts:
I've been playing through the levels in Survival Mode, with the hopes of scoring some unique or interesting pets.  However, my current strategy is very "hands off" - I'm not paying full attention to the game, and I'm leveling two characters which I can't be controlling at the same time.

There are certain levels in Dungeon Defenders where bosses spawn - the first being the Demon Lord in the Alchemical Laboratory.

If I play this map in survival mode, does the boss still spawn?  Does he spawn every X waves, or just once?  If he does spawn, does he spawn at the same wave he spawned on in the campaign mode?


texts: Why will League of Legends not 'finish downloading'

texts: What exactly has happened in WarMetal Tyrant's storyline?

texts:
I've recently begun playing this game, and I'm curious as to what the storyline is actually about.

Is there actually a backstory?  Some players tell me it's based off of some other game or something, and I'm not sure exactly what exactly happens.

Simply put, why are all the factions there?  Why do the Imperial exist where they are, what planet are they on, etc.

If you can, post your answers in a spoilers tag.  Thanks!


texts: Minecraft 1.9.2 Command /give converted to /summon

texts:
I'm currently trying to convert a /give command into a /summon command.

/give @p minecraft:nether_star 1 0 {specialNetherStar:1b,display:{Name:"Nature"},ench:[{id:60s,lvl:10s}]}

Each time I convert it into this:

/summon Item ~ ~1 ~ {Item:{Id:minecraft:"nether_star",specialNetherStar:1b,display:{Name:"Nature"},ench:[{id:60s,lvl:10s}]}}

It ends up summoning a stone block instead. I do not understand why though. If someone could help me out I would be very grateful to them.

texts:
After seeing a True Pacifist Playthrough (did not see any other routes) I checked out the Undertale wikia. During the playthrough I noticed Sans and Papyrus talking about who's older. If I recall this correctly, there was something along the lines of 'Papyrus, but Sans reads night stories for him therefore Sans could be his older brother'. I don't know whether there were any other hints.

I looked at the Undertale wikia page for Sans and found that Papyrus is a younger brother to him. (Link)

Is there any other information that hints at who is the older brother?


texts:
Since the new drake system is out, I've done quite a lot of games. I'm not sure if I'm being paranoid or so, but it seems that drakes don't really spawn randomly, it seems there are some combinations, and each color seems not to have 25% chance of spawning (on 50 games or so I've had like 35% cloud drake).

Not to mention I often see 3 fire drake in a row (same for lot of people in my friends list ), or 2 cloud 2 mountain.

Are there any stats related to dragon spawn or some pattern to find out what drake will come or is it really and only RNG?


texts: How do stats from chems / aid items stack? How do they add up?

texts:
I've noticed that chem stacking isn't as straightforward as I initially imagined. I did the following experiment:

S  P E C I A L
6  5 4 5 6 7 2 -> initial stats without any chem consumption
8  7 6 5 8 7 2 -> buffout + mentats
9 10 7 5 8 7 2 -> buffout + mentats + bufftats
9 13 7 5 8 7 2 -> buffout + mentats + bufftats + orange mentats

So I guess what I'm asking is, what gives? What's up with that perception outlier?


texts: How do you choose units to use in the Voting Gauntlet?

texts:
In the new Voting Gauntlet, the in-game help mentions how to battle:

  Battle Format:
  The battle are 3-on-3. The following will be on your team.

  Your Leader
  A friend, if you have friends registered
  A player you have not registered as a friend

So the only guaranteed unit you can choose is your leader.

I thought mine would be Lyn, the first unit in my first party.

However after battling twice it was Sharena both times,
which is confusing because I'm on Eirika's team for the event.

How do I determine who my leader is?

texts: Why can't I recover any more health when I try to use a recovery item?

texts: When I'm questing in a dungeon as a character with low HP (Charme) I find myself having to use many recovery items. Unfortunately, after what seems to be a set amount of recovery items used, I'm trying to use a chocolate bar to recover and can't because the game tells me I can't recover anymore. What's going on here? Am I only allowed to use a certain amount of recovery items in a single dungeon run? Why can't I recover?

texts: Why don't heatseekers lock on to low flying vehicles?

texts: Whenever I try to lock on to a low-flying attack or scout helicopter with heatseekers, it doesn't work. I know in Battlefield 3 there was an upgrade called "Below Radar" which gave helicopters this property. However, I haven't seen this ability in the Battlefied 4 progression for any air vehicles. Is this upgrade just given for free to all players?

texts: Does the "time played" progress while the device is closed?

texts:
After completing the game the first time with 100%, I wanted to make the hero mode "more challenging" by trying to finish with a good time played in the end and restricting myself to fulfil only the basic needs of my little green hero.

As I play mostly while commuting, can someone tell me if the game internal counter for "time played" continues while the console is closed? With "time played" I don't refer to the console's counter but the game's internal counter.

I own a 3DS XL if that makes a difference and in most cases I press pause before I close the console. I have the option for finding street pass shadow links enabled, while the device is closed.

On another note, does "pause" really pause the "time played" counter of the game?


texts: Commands to stop hunger depletion without constant refilling health?

texts:
I am looking to create an area where, when players enter it, their hunger does not deplete but they are not 'invincible' (super-fast regenerating health). I have tried:

1)

/effect @a 23 1000000 1 1

But this just gives the infinite health regen issue.

2)

/testfor @a {foodLevel:17}

(and all food levels below) and given the appropriate saturation, but that is incredibly resource intensive and still provides some form of invinicibility.

Basically I want the hunger to freeze but for saturation to stay at a consistent level. Is there a way to do this through the use of command blocks or functions (it's also important it can be toggled). Thanks

texts: How can I reach the massive tree in the south, near Bald Mountain

texts:
So I am working my way around the south of the map clearing up the question marks in Velen. I've noticed the question mark which I pictured below, but having done a near full circle of the mountain, I cannot find a path up this mountain.

With the use of spoiler tags where necessary, how can I visit this location? I'm currently lv11, and am wondering if it's a story location I'll visit later.

texts: Does Destruction Skill Increase Destruction Damage?

texts:
This seems like no brainer.
Fortify smithing, increase smithing skills, that increase improvements. The same goes for fortify alchemy.
Basically fortify x, increase x skills, and increase x effectiveness.
Now I know that fortify destruction doesn't increase destruction spell damage.
Does it increase destruction skills?
And does increasing destruction skills increase destruction spell damage (without perks?)
If not, is there a mod that make this intuitive.
Otherwise, playing as mage will be difficult. I can oneshot my enemies with my arrows, and one hand weapon, and 2 hand weapons, but it takes too long to kill someone with flame.
Any mod that "fix" this? Balanced magic. Does it do that?

texts:
I know that in League of Legends, if I try to have two items which are both unique with the same effect, that only the earlier purchased item's effect applies. (http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Unique)

My question is in regards to stacking named Unique items with different effects.

Titanic Hydra and Ravenous Hydra both have "UNIQUE - Cleave" effects  but each Cleave effect does something different.

Does this mean that both Hydra's effect will be applied or will the same rule of which came first apply?

I have setup a 4 lava pumps to pump out lava in the nether to a tank in the overworld. Unfortunatley only one pump is working despite having the exact same setups. Is there a limit to how many pumps you can have in one chunk? I have provided a screenshot of my setup.

As you can probably (or not) see, they have exactly the same setups. Each with the exact same I/O's. Anyone have any idea how to get them all to work? They all seem to be pumping but in the three that aren't working, no lava is being inputted into the magmatic engine.


texts:
I picked up a copy of Injustice: Gods Among Us recently, and played some single player while waiting for my wife to get home.

When she did, we launched a multiplayer game (both signing in with our Live accounts).  She was really upset when she looked at my tag in the corner and saw 'level 11'.

She comes from a strong RPG background, and she went into the battle thinking she had no chance against me 'since I was so much higher in level'.

I managed to convince her, finally, that the displayed level was an account thing, which didn't affect my character's abilities, health, or damage.  It may have been easier if I hadn't thoroughly destroyed her in the first few matches.

It did get me wondering what the level actually means.  I know I get a few bits of in-game currency for unlocking costumes and music each time I gain a level, but is that all they do?

texts: Is this email claiming to be from Blizzard legit?

texts:
I just got an email:

Dear Players,
Take a trip back to Azeroth with 7 days of FREE game time! Simply click below to claim your time and experience all of the latest improvements and additions to World of Warcraft®... but act fast, as this offer will expire on Mar 22, 2011.

It looks incredibly professional, and looks very real. The only suspicious thing is the link to claim 7 free days of game time, which seems to be a squat of battle.net (you can see the actual link in the revision history for this post if you're so inclined).
How can I tell if this an actual Blizzard thing, or if I'm being phished?


texts: So I'm little late on the whole console thing, since I got a PS3 almost a year after "The Last of Us" came out, because I felt I've missed out on a lot of great PS3 exclusives and PS3 prices rocketed down after the new generation came out. That's why I'm asking this question now. Looking through the trophy list on Skate 3 I noticed that there are a lot of trophies, which are part of the DLC packs that they've released years ago. I'm aware that they no longer support the "skate.Create" service so I can't get all the trophies, but I couldn't find the DLC for the game on the PS Store. So what I'm asking is if I can get the DLC, through some in-game option I haven't noticed, is the game completely unsupported now (including online content, DLC downloads, etc.) or are there some region restrictions for DLC content (I'm from Bulgaria, using a Bulgarian PSN Profile)? I do get the online features getting cut out of a 5-year old game but just deleting DLC seems weird. So is there a way I could get it or is it just gone?


texts: How is the suggested price determine for commodity auctions?

texts:
Although the details are a bit ambiguous, this question seems to focus on buying gems, and this question on selling them.  What I could not find in either of them was a specific detail I'm interested in with regard to the sales process of commodities in general.

When you list a commodity, the game will "recommend" a unit sales price for that commodity.  When using methods described in agent86's answer to the 2nd question, I can not determine any direct correlation to the "instantaneous buy price" or "10 sale average" price, and of course as he mentions the 24 hour stat seems bugged.

This "recommended" price often seems like a bad deal for the seller (if they are interested in profit), but I also suspect many sellers may just leave it as default - which is why I am very interested to understand how the number is generated.

How quickly does this happen? Does it occur at a set rate? If there are five bases and all five are captured, will the losing team lose Tickets faster than in a situation where four bases are captured?


texts: Should I continue one of my Mass Effect playthroughs in Mass Effect 2 or start afresh?

texts:
I loved the original Mass Effect. I've played through it multiple times: I have one character at level 60 (canonical, with which I played through thrice), another at level 50-something (female engineer, with which I played through twice), and another at level 40-something (biotic, with which I played through once).

I've recently ordered Mass Effect 2 on Amazon (for GBP 13, what a deal). My question is, should I start Mass Effect 2 continuing one of my Mass Effect playthroughs or "start afresh"? Do you lose much if you start afresh? What do you gain otherwise? What are your experiences either way? Part of me would like to remain canonical with the series, and continue as BioWare suggests the story goes, but I've heard it's a lame choice.

With my level 60 character, I played through the game three times. Each time I did things differently; on the second playthrough I completed each and every quest, even. Now I can't remember what choices I made. On one playthrough, I even killed Wrex, just for the hell of it. Can I start from any of these characters' playthroughs or just the most recent one (the one at level 60 or the one at level 50, for example)? Can I change any of my choices (I seem to have read that I can't, if that's so, bad show, BioWare).

I'm not really invested in any of my characters; but there are some choices I'd prefer rather than others. (Just for the sake of completeness, the major ones: Ashley and Wrex still alive, the council dead, Anderson the human ambassador, all the characters with their subquests completed, Rachni queen alive...)

Are there any choices which have a big impact in the game, or am I just worrying too much about this?

Thanks for all your input. I've marked this Community Wiki so we can have a decent discussion on the matter; don't hold back!

Update: Thanks to Andy I've found the relevant page in the Mass Effect Wiki relating to continuing Mass Effect playthroughs in Mass Effect 2.

texts:
I bought a retail version of half-life with no CD key, before I reinstalled windows I got the CD key from the Steam version of the game that I had bought, and that worked to activate the retail version.  I found the key somewhere in the registry, now I have reset my PC, I don't know where I found it but have looked everywhere I can imagine it being but I can't find it.

I think this may be because I got the game from a bundle, perhaps this gives you a CD Key for all of the games in the bundle and if you use a CD Key, it saves it in the registry.  Or maybe a key is put in the registry of all the games you buy but they get removed after reinstalling Windows.

Is there any way of activating my retail version of Half-Life without buying a key?

texts:
What causes the Tactical Stock mod for the Commando 553 rifle to show up as giving a -1 to the  Concealment stat and give no bonuses? Don't weapon mods (except sights) give at least 1 bonus to a weapon stat? This is the only non-sight weapon mod I've noticed that gives a penalty and doesn't give a bonus to a stat. Is this mod purely for aesthetics only?

A post in the Reddit /r/paydaytheheist subreddit suggests that it increases a hidden stat. Can anyone confirm or deny?

In case it matters, my Commando 553 rifle also has the ff. mods equipped: Long Barrel, 'Fire Breather' barrel extension, 'Auto Fire' custom mod,  Enhanced Foregrip, 'Tactical Laser Module' gadget, Enhanced Grip, 'See More Sight', 'Heat Treated Body' upper receiver. I tried changing some of the mods, but it seems this does not affect the penalties of the Tactical Stock mod.

texts: PS3 lost network whilst patching Injustice: Gods Among Us, and now won't re-download patch

texts:
Recently I've encountered a problem. Well, it wasn't a problem at the beginning, but now my PS3 can't even start downloading a patch.

What happened step-by-step:

I booted my PS3
Started the game (Injustice: Gods Among Us)
PS3 asked if I want to download and install the update
I chose "YES" and waited
At around 84% (or so), my internet went down. When it was back up, PS3 wasn't able to continue the download, so it was still calculating(and adding) the time remaining.
After a while I turned it off (by holding power button)
Repeated steps 1-4 again
PS3 wanted to start downloading the new patch, but all over sudden it beeped a few times and rebooted itself.
Repeated steps 7 and 8 a few times
Deleted the game data to return the game back to version 1.00
Tried to install patch again - and got the same problem (as in step 8)

Since then I can't install a new patch on that game. I didn't try installing patches to other games, but I think that it shouldn't be a problem.

So the question is: how can I fix it?

In the game options, I can only change the bindings when using mouse & keyboard, but not for a gamepad, and when using the gamepad, the bindings section is Locked (meaning there is a Locked symbol, and no way to access it)...when I'm trying to scan an area with the LS, the screen constantly moves between my party members as well since these functions both use the LS. Is there a way to "lock" the scan to make it automatic, or change the binding for this? In the meantime, I find that I have to change over to M&K just to scan an area, and it's a huge pain to constantly go back and forth between the game interaction methods.


texts: What makes you bounce after landing in Mario Kart 64?

texts:
When landing after big jumps in Mario Kart 64, some times you bounce. This effect is probably most pronounced on Royal Raceway, where you can even bounce multiple times after landing the big jump. However, some times you do not bounce at all.
Here is an example video. The player bounces twice the first two times they take the jump (at approximately 0:50 and 1:50), but doesn't bounce at all the third time (at about 2:45).
Is there a way to control this? Or is it just random?

texts: If I kill cheaters on my own team in CS:GO, will the match still count as a loss after they get VAC banned?

texts:
I recently attempted to play a competitive CS:GO match, and I wound up with some blatant cheaters on my team. I, along with my friend who I had queued with, tried to convince them to stop, but our attempts were unsuccessful. We wound up just teamkilling them as many times as we could to try to reduce the damage to the other team.
So, my question is this: if they get VAC banned, will this game still count as a loss for me? I am not asking if loosing to cheaters counts as a loss, as I'm aware that loosing to cheaters on the opposing team doesn't count after they get banned. What I'm asking is, if you get kicked for teamkilling cheaters on your own team (meaning that the round counts as a loss even if they wound up winning), and they eventually get VAC banned, will this still count as a loss for me?

texts:
In the GM games I've watch it's very rare to see a game ending in less than 10 mins. They seem to like going two base first before attacking.

Even if one player is Zerg, they still go with the early two bases and the Zerg doesn't ling rush at all, even if it seems like a logical choice considering the opponent won't have many units; lings can easily destroy the second base.

Are there special rules in GM games (no rush) or do they just like to have a real war game (mass units).

There were some farms, but there were no farmer villagers that will accept wheat for emeralds.
I wish I can trade the Blacksmith villager the iron ingots in return for a piece of iron armor.

So I popped in the Old Hunter disc, hoping that my save file is still intact but I didn't see anything at all. So I tried out a tons of method from google but it still doesn't work! None of it. I didn't have the usual error that most people get, the error that says "Game incomplete".

I tried downloading my old save files to the Old Hunter Edition but it didn't worked either. I followed every single possible steps but none of it helped. I would greatly appreciated any help to solve this. I spent all my blood, sweat and tears to reach lvl100 with my trusty 10+ Tonitrus!!! Please help!!

I heard that you'll need to wait for about an hour or 2 to let it completely installed. I'm trying this right now and in the meantime, I'm redownloading my regular base game back since I thought the Old Hunter will work so I deleted it.


texts: Can't find world in Single Player, but save file is in .minecraft saves

texts:
I recently started a single player survival world a few days ago.

Today when I hoped on with the intention to keep progressing and finishing off my farms and such, I couldn't find the World in my Single Player Section of the Minecraft Menus, however, when I go

  Start >%appdata% >Roaming >.minecraft >saves

the world save folder is still there. I've restarted minecraft and my PC but the same thing keeps happening. I've tried moving the folder out, restarting my game then putting it back.

The version of minecraft that the world is in and what I open minecraft up in is 1.11.2

Here is a screenshot of what I see in game and in folder: http://imgur.com/a/OOKfO

If anyone could tell me how I can fix this problem that would be great, thanks.


texts: When playing minecraft on LAN I have tried to setup microphone and speakers. I'm not able to use microphone and speakers to make my kids talk to each other. They keep yelling through the house: "I'm here, come help me" "Wow, did you see that" etc etc. How do I setup the microphone in minecraft so they can talk to each other?


texts: Is Quicksilver Sash or Cleanse better for Vayne?

texts: I've been playing Vayne a lot, and I'm having trouble deciding whether Cleanse or Quicksilver Sash is more efficient.


texts:
I can't find this option in the interface; but am wondering if maybe behind the scenes the data is available somewhere, or in some hidden corner of the UI.

I was curious how much time I've spent in the Mass Effect universe. So I fired up Steam and checked the hours played in 1 and 2. Then I jumped to Origin to see how long I spent in 3 - but it doesn't seem to show this information.

Is it hidden there somewhere?


texts: Can the PS4 controller's headphones port be used over bluetooth to PC?

texts: I have PS4 controller and wired headphones. If I connect the controller to PC/Laptop via Bluetooth, will I be able to use it as "wireless headphones" by connecting normal headphones to the controller?


texts: Why won't some highlights finish saving?

texts:
I like saving my highlights that I think are at least notable, if not pretty good or great.  However, on two instances so far, the progress bar for saving the highlight has completely stopped, and there doesn't seem to be anything I can do to recover.

I can hit Escape and click the cancel button, but that doesn't do anything; I'm still stuck on the screen with the progress bar.  No other key press does anything either.  I basically have to force quit out (Alt+F4 works) and reload the game in order for me to do anything.

I've also tried lowering the settings of the recording, but that didn't do anything either.  It still gets stuck.

This issue shows consistent behaviour with particular highlights.  It always seems to happen, and it always stops recording in the same spot.  Just playing the highlight doesn't do anything unexpected, though; it plays start to finish just fine.

Why is Overwatch doing this, and how do I fix it?

Tonight is the third time this has happened, and I went even further reducing the quality of the video:

1080p (this is my normal setting)
x1 super sample (usually x2)
30 fps (usually 60 fps)
low movie quality (usually ultra)
auto movie format (still happens if I select WebM explicitly)
hardware encoding off (normally it's on)
music on (not that it should matter in this case)

The only thing that seems to be common between the various highlights is that they tend to have a lot of particles/effects.


texts:
I didn't find a good/exact explanation on this so:

How much rating (e.g. crit rating/penetration rating) is needed for 1% of the stat?
How much hit rating is required? (cap for pve/pvp?)
How does attack/heal rating influence my performance?
How is combat power exactly calculated out of my stats?
Is there a cap on certain stats? (e.g. crit)

Since I like to max out a game, I like to be able to calculate gear and optimal stats. (e.g. balance between crit and crit power for maximum dps) But for doing this I need to know how the game works/calculates things.


texts: Why do I occasionally see lightning forks shoot out of my attacks?

texts:
Sometimes when I attack with Fists of Thunder I see a few forks of lightning shoot forward, even though neither my weapons nor the active or passive skills I'm using list anything like that in their skill description.

What makes this happen, and how can I control it?


texts: Mayday tileset does not render correctly on Linux

texts:
I'm using PyLNP 0.9.5a on Ubuntu. I've installed the Mayday tileset and generated a new world, but the characters seem all messed up.

Here, the dwarves are all squid-looking and the animals are only symbols:

I also installed PyLNP in Windows 7, and it renders everything correctly there. Is there something wrong with the mayday pack or PyLNP on Linux?
