texts: Can't get into the Aurora after update. Do I need to start a new save?

texts: The new PRAWN update is out and it recommended that I start a new game, but I'm pretty built up on resources and don't want to do that. So I tried to see if I could work with the already saved one, but it seems there's no way to enter the Aurora now, as the little gap on the side is gone (or hidden below sand but I really doubt that). Also, I can't seem to find an entrance through the broken end where you're supposed to enter in the first place. I even watched videos of people getting in and I don't seem to find the places they do. Do I really have to ditch my saved game?


texts: Keep user data when migrating map from Realms to the server

texts:
I'm planing to migrate Minecraft Realms map to my server. I've managed to migrate the map, but the problem is that players data is not migrated.

Is it possible to migrate map from Realms with all players inventory, ender chest contents and experience, so when the same player from Realms logs into the server, he will keep all his inventory? What would be the process to do that?

Only solution I have found so far is to ask all players to move all their possession into a chest on Realms and pick them up on the server after migration. Problem with this approach is to get all players do that within reasonable time range.

Thanks in advance.

I think that there are around 50, and the collection of all of them unlocks a secret boss, but I am not too sure.

texts: What squad members romance together without Shepard?

texts:
I didn't romance any character in the first two games, but romanced Liara in the last part.

Now, I found Garrus and Tali kissing in the main gun calibration room and wondered if there are any other intra-squad member romance scenes? For example, would Garrus be with Liara if I had romanced Tali instead? Would Tali be with Liara if I romanced Garrus as a FemShep?

I'm not interested only in this trio, but curious in general: which teammates romance each other in Mass Effect?

texts:
My friends and I would like to play Jackbox Party Pack online.  The only way to do this is to have one person host the game, and stream the video to the other players.

The problem is that Steam Broadcast and Twitch both have a 15-20 second stream latency, which is way too high to play the game together.

Is there some way to stream the game online without such a high latency?


texts:
From what I know, newborn Tallbirds are very weak, get hungry all the time and follow player everywhere, making it hard to keep them alive. And after they grow into adult Tallbirds, they become hostile towards player. It also doesn't seem like they will create a nest to spawn eggs in, so it seems kind of useless and effortsome to hatch the eggs at the cost of a nice dinner. If killed, a Tallbird drops 2 meats, and while a normal Tallbird will respawn in 2.5 days, it takes a lot more to grow one from an egg.

In comparison, pigs have 250 HP and do 33 dmg, don't need food (unless you want them to follow you around). Smallish Tallbirds have 300 HP and do 50 dmg, but they require 60 food per day, each, which can be a nuisance. Pigs are better for this follower role, because they're ready to fight right off the bat, no need to wait 11 days.

Why would I want to spend so much time and resources to hatch a Tallbird egg?

She did however follow me out when we were finished we then went to the dawnguard to talk to the moth priest and we now have to find a moth priests knife.

I went to Riverwood to feed and I'm not sure if she went there with me or not but I have not been able to find her at all throughout the rest of my game play. Nothing on google has helped me it's like she has just vanished from the game even though I still need her for quests.

extra bonus if you win the game?

If not do they plan on doing something like that in the future?


texts: Restore game progress state before Facebook connection

texts:
My girlfriend has an Android phone and plays Candy Crush Saga. She was level 140 on her phone and level 20 on Facebook. Both game states were not connected!

However, she decided to connect her Android candy crush with Facebook, which synced the Facebook state of the game to the phone. She is now level 20 in both states which is pretty sad.

How can we get the game state back to level 140?

Disconnecting from Facebook did not solve the problem.

I don't think she backed up her phone at any point.

texts: How to blitz L3 missions with 2 characters?

texts:
I was been told that one can make serious isk/h by blitzing L3 missions. It should works something like this:

1) One character is in station and taking missions

2) Second character is in ship fitted for blitzing L3 missions (Machariel with fit for warp speed + shooting small targets).

I want to test this scenario but there are some troubles. For example I can not find a way to access mission with second character only (linking mission and broadcast in fleet do not work).

Does anyone has more experience and tips with this?

texts:
I have a very fast PC (intel i7 6 core 3.4ghz / all disks are SSD 500MB/s 16GB ddr4 ram). But still, compared to Fallout 3, loading times are very long, when I open door, or use fast travel, I need to wait about 10 seconds, reading the message with some hints, that I wouldn't normally even notice in Fallout 3.

I thought it might be the speed of PC, but apparently, when running task manager simultaneously, I can see that CPU is constantly on 2% usage only, disk usage on 0%, ram is almost free and swap disabled. I don't see anything that would be utilized by the game and that made me think that this delay while loading some different place is here on purpose, so that you actually have enough time to read that tip you can see on loading screen.

I don't need to read these tips, is there any way to force the game to load the map as soon as it's possible? It's extremely annoying!

texts: What is the effect of Rapid Fire attachment on Single Fire Weapons?

texts:
Playing modern warfare 3 multi-player, I recently levelled my MK14 up high enough to enable the Rapid Fire attachment. The MK14 Assault Rifle is a Semi-automatic (single fire) weapon. As the desciption of Rapid Fire states Increased Fire Rate, I assumed, using the Rapid Fire attachment would turn my semi-automatic (single-fire) into an automatic.

But it seems to have no effect at all. It still is only a single fire weapon.

What is the effect of the Rapid Fire attachment on a Semi-Automatic (single-fire) weapon, such as the MK14, if it has one at all?


texts: The Witness marsh puzzle: Valid solution not accepted? [SPOILERS]

texts:
I breezed through most of the Marsh area, then got stuck for hours on the puzzle below before giving up and looking up the answer online. I was frustrated to find that the "correct" answer appears to operate on logic that I thought I had already tested and rejected.

Here's my current understanding of how the blocks work in the puzzle below:

You must place all yellow blocks in some configuration on the grid, then trace an outline around them. Yellow blocks can't overlap.
For the purposes of this specific puzzle, all blocks "mesh" into 1 large outline, and none can be rotated.
All yellow and blue blocks must be included in the overall outline shape.
For each blue empty individual square included in the total shape, you must remove 1 square from a yellow shape before placing it.

Here's the accepted solution, which is pretty straightforward: the bottom-left yellow block sits in the bottom-left corner, with all but the corner square removed; the bottom-right block sits in the bottom-right corner, with no squares removed; and the top-right yellow block sits all the way in the top right corner, with the bottom square removed.

And here's another solution I had already tried, that was rejected, leading me to make incorrect conclusions about how the blue empty blocks worked. As far as I can tell, this is also pretty straightforward: the bottom-left block sits in the bottom-left corner, with all but the corner square removed; the bottom-right  block sits in the bottom-right corner, with no squares removed; and the top-right yellow block stands in the middle, with its top-left square removed.

So my question is: Why is solution 1 accepted but solution 2 rejected? Am I misunderstanding the logic of this puzzle? (I don't mind spoilers at this point, I'm just desperate to sort out whether this is a bug or a genuine confusion on my part!)

My pickpocketing level is 100
I did not any time recently pickpocket any bandits.
The bandits that I tried it on were recently respawned, I remember cleaning that camp.

So what is exactly going on and how to fix it?

texts: Do you need to have run the game to install DLC?

texts:
I have a huge backlog of games i have yet played on PS3, PS4, X-Box 360 and Vita, alot of these i wait a while before i play them so that when i do i have almost all the DLC.

In the past what i have done i created a second profile on my PS3, put the game in there then go back into my main account and download the DLC, once i'm done i go back into my second profile and test that the DLC has been installed, i do this because Hyperdimension Neptunia has a trophies you get for starting a new game before the DLC check and Disgaea 4 has one for watching the intro animation which i might not skip if i've been called elsewhere. ofcause not all the time i can test that the DLC has been installed just from starting a new game, the Atelier Twilight Games didn't have a notification.

I haven't done this with the 360 and it's not possible with the Vita, so i am wondering, do i need to have ran the game once in order to for the DLC to be installed? (ie. i buy a game overseas and while i wait for it to arrive i get all the DLC)

NOTE: i would like an answer which covers all the consoles that i have tagged incase if there are any differences between consoles like maybe the PS Vita needs the game to have ran once to install the DLC

texts: Does increasing your Insight unlock new items to buy from the Insight Bath Messenger?

texts:
In Bloodborne, I had 12 Insight and 12 Madman's Knowledge.

At first the Insight Bath Messenger had for purchase:

   The bells for co-op + Pungent Blood Cocktails; and Father Gascgoine's attire, which wasn't very good.

I just defeated a boss...

   the Blood-Starved Beast, which unlocked some okay attire

Which I bought, along with a couple of items, to drop me back to 4 Insight.

At 15 Insight, the difficulty increases.

So if I use up all of my Madman's Knowledge now, I'd be at approx. 19 Insight. Would that then make any new stuff available for purchase at the Insight Bath Messenger; to deplete my Insight level back down below 15?

Because I don't see a reason to keep a high Insight level; therefore I'm just stocking up on Madman's Knowledge atm.

Update: After reaching 15 Insight, I bought all of the stuff I originally didn't want, purely to get me back below 15...

Update 2: After buying some additional crap I don't need, to get the Insight back below 15; my Insight eventually got to 16 again naturally. I've decided against buying any more crap from the 2nd Bath Messenger, and trying out the game at a harder level... maybe it has some benefit? It appears nobody knows.....


texts: How to remove any non-steam game from the library

I had the brilliant idea of adding Excel and PowerPoint to my library as non-steam games (yup...). At some point, I wanted to remove them. However, surprise, surprise, the "Right Click / Manage / Remove non-Steam game from your library" option was gone.

So I spent a couple of minutes looking around and the best solution I was able to find was a way to remove all non-steam games from the library. This didn't work for me, since I only wanted to remove those two and keep the rest.


texts: Nintendo Switch left Joy-Con disconnects frequently. Fix?

texts:
When playing Zelda: Breath of the Wilds on the Nintendo Switch, when I play with the Switch docked and the Joy-Cons physically disconnected, the left Joy-Con frequently "lags" or becomes disconnected from the Switch base unit altogether.

When the left Joy-Con lags, the Switch acts as though whatever input I had been using was still being held down.  For example, Link will occasionally keep running briefly even after I release the analog joystick.

Only the left Joy-Con has this issue.  The right Joy-Con always stays connected and has no lag issues.

The issue doesn't occur when the Joy-Cons are attached to the Nintendo Switch base unit itself.

The left Joy-Con does seem to work ok when it is within about 3 feet of the Nintendo Switch base unit, and there is no line-of-sight obstruction between the Joy-Con and the Switch

I have applied the "day one patch" to the Switch, with the Joy-Cons connected to the base Switch unit as the patch was applied.

Upon researching, this issue is has been widely reported on gaming news sites. (Refs: 1, 2, 3)

There's also an article on the Nintendo Support site about general Joy-Con wireless connectivity problems.  However, that article doesn't make any mention of the problem specific to the left Joy-Con.

My question: How can I resolve this intermittent wireless connectivity problem with the left Joy-Con?

Basically, when I attempt to request a jetpack from the request table, it says "missing 1 leadstone jetpack", which is exactly what I want to craft. I checked several times, the crafting pipe is set up and connected properly. The crafting pipes right next to it are working fine.

The same thing happens when I try to request a Leadstone Thruster (needed for the jetpack), or a Steam Dynamo (needed for thrusters).

Any idea what might be wrong?

I have tried going back and playing the games again, but I can't even re-acquire the achievements.

I have tried e-mailing Xbox Support, but they were not helpful. Hopefully someone here has some helpful advice.

I'm kinda disappointed by the gameplay of "Become a Legend" mode in PES 11. I'll explain why: I have Fifa 10 on my Xbox and I've played with the "same" mode in there but it's really different.

I was playing Minecraft 1.14.4 Java Edition, and I'm not the owner of this PRO (my friends and I paid for this server and it included a lot of features and open 24/24) multiplayer server. I was running from the beach that I made it myself into the house (I made the house above water surface) to get some stuffs, suddenly the game stopped and it told me that “Connection Lost”.

After trying to reconnect a few times, finally I can get to the game. As usual, people will spawn in the place that they stood last time, everything disappeared and I dived into the water below my house. At first I thought it was not 100% loading so I restarted the game and it still showed me that a part of my house disappearing. The strange thing that the house was missing in the perfect way (rectangle). And there is no one in the server except me because that time was around 3:15am.

I am really messed up now and I have no idea of what is going on... Can someone help me to figure out why my house disappeared?

Bellow are some images of where my house is missing.

Update: I came to check all the houses of my friends and some of them have this problem. But I have the biggest house damage. Our houses are very FAR (so far) away from each other and it takes us about 5-8 min to walk to each other’s houses.

texts: Is it possible to complete Dark Souls without leveling?

One of the things that have always irked me about the Dark Souls games is the ability to store up souls, and effectively grind your way past a certain point by leveling up indefinitely.

Is it at all possible to beat these games without leveling up at all?

texts: I have cycled through 500 bitizens (using a tower bux to move them in, and then evicting after) in order to try and get bitizens with a dream job and skill level 9 into each job slot, but I have not seen a bitizen with a skill of 9 in retail (purple) yet. Not even in bitizens that have other dream jobs. Is retail capped at a skill of 8, or am I just extremely unlucky so far?


texts:
I took with my first skill points "Self" and "Regenerate" and "Projectile". Now I can make only 2 spells - "Self Regenerate" & "Projectile Regenerate" - which I both can't cast. The first uses 270 Mana, the second uses 540 mana - but I have only 100.

How can I progress further? I don't have any points to unlock other spells and I can't cast my current ones because I don't have the mana - thus I can't progress.

How do I level up so I can unlock more points?


texts: How to specify the network adapter for my cstrike 1.6 dedicated server?

texts:
I configured my cstrike 1.6 server and I think everything should be fine now, but the server is still not working.

And I'm thinking that the problem is that the server is configured to listen for incoming connections on my Ethernet network adapter (because when I launch HLDS, It shows 192.168.81.1:27015 as the IP Address, which is the local IP address that my Ethernet adapter has), while I'm actually connecting to the internet using my wireless adapter (Which is having a local IP address of 192.168.1.6 right now, and this is the IP that I was expecting to see in HLDS).

So, how could I change my HLDS settings so that it listens on my wireless adapter and not my Ethernet one ?


texts:
In Glowfish you have to rescue your friends and take them "home" to little mushroom houses. Each house requires a certain number of friends to fill it, and filing the house usually is a requirement for progressing further in a level.

I have found, however, that if I find a secret area, I usually end up with more friends than I have houses to put them in. I can end the level with these friends still following me, but does that mean I am missing out on some more secrets?

One of the front usb port on my PS4 suddenly stopped working.

What can i try at home before sending it for repair?
Is there any expansion devices to obtain multiple usb ports from the one still alive? Would a powered usb hub work?

Are there some prerequisites to being able to play this level again, or are you only able to play this level once?  There doesn't seem to be any DLC related to it either.


texts: Possible to merge PC and Pocket Edition Minecraft servers?

texts:
How feasible would it be to run a Bukkit/Spigot/whatever server and sync it with a PocketMine server?  Ideally, players would be able to interact (see and chat) with each other even if they're on different servers, and the world map would sync as well, so structures and terrain would be the same and update when changes are made.

I know this would require custom plugins.  Assume the servers are either on the same machine or the machines have a high-speed connection to each other.
I want to know if there are any technical issues with doing this type of setup.

The only big problem I can think of is differences in available items, but that can be worked around by only allowing items/blocks present in both versions of the game.

texts: Why does shift-queuing blink have unpredictable results?

texts:
I was messing around with some of the "Challenge" missions and discovered a Protoss a mechanic that I don't quite understand (Protoss is my least played race by far, so sorry if this is a basic question).

When I attempt to blink stalkers using the shift-queuing method, I usually end up leaving some stalkers behind.  It's odd that sometimes all stalkers will properly blink but sometimes I'll end up leaving somewhere between 1-3 stalkers behind.  The unpredictability is unsettling...

Mechanically, I'm going through the following 3 steps, which I believe are the correct ones:

First, I select the stalkers, right click on the location from which I want to initiate the blink
Then I press Shift + R (R is my blink hotkey) and left-click on the intended destination of the blink
Lastly, I release shift, then press Shift + right-click on a location to which newly blinked stalkers can go (so as to make room for the stalkers which haven't yet blinked).

Note: this is the same series of steps as outlined in this other post.

Here's a gif showing the result (for some reason, it's giving me an error when I try to upload an image directly to my post).

What am I doing wrong?

Alternatively, if I'm following the right steps, what is causing the unpredictability?  I have never seen an instance of a unit simply "skipping" one of the commands in its command-queue and attempting to execute the next one...

texts:
Possible Duplicate:
  How can I predict the direction and arc of an Arcane Sentry?

When fighting "Arcane Enchanted" enemies, I notice the little ball of energy a few seconds before it starts to fire.  When it fires, it appears to fire energy in a line that travels through a 360 degree arc, and then it despawns.

However, the direction it starts in matters - I can be standing right next to one for several seconds after it starts to arc, so long as I'm not directly in the line of fire.  I might even be able to stand there for longer, if I'm on the side where it will hit last.

Is there any way to determine which way the sentry will fire when it starts firing?  Does it always travel in the same direction?  (ie, clockwise or counter clockwise?)


texts: Invulnerability Effect of Zelda/Sheik's Transform

texts:
My friend and I have been arguing about whether or not using transform grants any sort of temporary invulnerability to attacks in Melee.

According to the wiki, invulnerability occurs because the game has to load the characters. However, the wiki states that for Melee specifically:

  In Melee, both Zelda and Sheik are loaded in the game's memory at all times, allowing the transformation to occur instantly with no loading required.

This would lead me to believe that no such invulnerability exists when using transform in Melee, though my friend still adamantly claims to have used the transform ability to dodge attacks.

1) Does this invulnerability work in Melee?

2) If it does not work in Melee, what are its mechanics more generally in the Super Smash Bros series (eg how many frames are you invulnerable, how useful is it in practice, etc.)

I'm happy to make this 2 separate questions if necessary, though I think they are sufficiently related to allow them both being tackled here.

I'm probably missing something here -- or missed a in game tip -- but how do you harvest strategic resource?

For example, I want the Niter in my region. I own the tile and I'm working it. I have a farm improvement on the tile.

I completed the research to Gunpowder several turns ago (which revealed the deposit).

Despite the above, I see no indication of access to the resource and I can't figure out what improvement I might need to build (if any) to get it. So, how do I harvest this strategic resource and more broadly, how does this system work in Civ6. In civ5, this all seemed automatic... It makes me wonder if there is a bug or something...

texts: Adding Minecraft to Steam with 64bit JRE

texts: I am running a 64bit version of Windows 7 with a 64bit version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and have been wondering for a while why Steam only says that I am running Minecraft at the login screen (I start Minecraft through Steam, Steam says "Darestium is playing non-steam game Minecraft" then as soon as you log in on Minecraft it changes your status back to 'Online')? I know this is not the case when you are running the 32bit version of the JRE (with a 64bit version of Windows 7 - having uninstalled the 64bit JRE and replacing it with the 32bit), does anyone know a work around this? If anyone knows the cause of this problem I would be really interested to what it is, and why Steam's behaviour differs between Java versions.


texts: Do Cave Spider Spawners work by a different set of rules than other Monster Spawners?

texts:
During exploration of an Abandoned Mineshaft I found a Cave Spider Spawner. Nothing odd or special about it, but coincidentally my seed has apparently spawned a Dungeon two blocks from it. A Skeleton Dungeon to be specific. Sweet right?

So, I figured I'd torch out the Cave Spider Spawner, and farm the Skeleton Spawner for Bones and Arrows. Except, it doesnt work. I max torched the Spider Spawner, and it still spawns Spiders.

This is what I did to the Spider Spawner:

$ =Spawner
@ =Torches

@@@
@ $ @
@@@

With a torch placed directly on top of the spawner to boot.
-.-
I still get spiders.

I don't want spiders.
Please make the spiders go away.

Do Cave Spider Spawners work differently than Normal Monster Spawners?

Edit: I should note that I do not want to destroy the Cave Spider Spawner, I'm aware that this can be done but its not my objective nor is 'finding a way to make the spider spawner stop' my purpose behind this question. What I'm asking is if the rules behind the Cave Spider are different than the rules behind the other spawners.

texts:
Correct me if the name of this meter is wrong; I am referring to the curved one at the edge of your health bar, that has the number 0, 1, or 2, depending on how full it is.

I know that this generally just goes up through the course of play, and it goes up quickly enough that casual players don't really need to think about how exactly they're building the meter. However, depending on how the meter builds, this could make strategies focused around that, like strategies focused around breaking armor in Soul Calibur IV.

What actions build up your meter, and how much do they build it up? Do some attacks build it up more than others?

texts: Does having the mob attack you cause your gathering to fail?

texts:
Earlier today, I was gathering an Orrian Sapling which should yield Ancient Wood Logs, the highest tier wood. At the time I was gathering it I was being attacked by 2 risens. I got two ruined logs which typically occur when you use a lower tier logging axe. I immediately stopped gathering. I typically have one mithril and one orichalcum gathering tool of each type. I would switch accordingly when I gathered (to save on costs). I had originally thought I had the wrong logging  axe equipped. So I killed the two risen and went to my inventory to equip my Orichalcum logging axe, only to find that it was already equipped. I used the logging axe again to gather the last piece of Ancient Wood Log which did work.

I know that I have successfully gathering material in the past while being attacked by the mob.

So my question is, does having the mob attack you while you are gathering sometimes cause you to fail at gathering. Or is there a small random chance of you failing to gather a material regardless if you have the correct tier or higher gathering tool?

texts: Differences between Dungeon Defenders and Eternity

texts:
Dungeon Defenders Eternity was announced on Steam offering the following description of what is new from the original game (italics mine):

  New Missions - Play the best maps from the first game, plus four brand new missions with more to come for free post-launch!
  New Features - Visible armor, pet hatching & abilities, crafting, dodging, consumables, weapon-swapping, spellbinding, "permadeath" mode and a whole lot more!
  Secure Online Play - No more hacking! Eternity runs on playverse's secure dedicated servers, so other Defenders can’t cheat their way to the top.
  Rebalanced & Retooled - Our young heroes have an entirely redesigned loot system that fixes major issues from the original, giving them a fairer fight against the Old Ones’ rebalanced army!
  Cross Platform Play - Take your heroes with you on the go and defend Etheria at anytime, from anywhere, with anyone! Download the Android version for Nvidia Tegra first, then stay tuned for an expanded launch on more Android devices, iPhones, and iPads later this year!

Does the new game include all the maps from the original?  What about DLC maps, characters, items, etc.?  What are the 4 new maps?  What does it mean when talking about rebalanced loot system?

In War thunder bombers can be improved to carry bigger bombs. But sometimes bigger bombs means a smaller total explosive mass.

For example on the Italian BR.20 DR you can take 4*250kg instead 12*100kg.
It is an improvement in the research tree but to me taking the big bombs seems worse than the small ones.

I would have less explosive mass if I want to bomb bases and it would be more difficult to bomb a long line of vehicles, so is there any benefits in taking these bigger bombs ?

texts:
I can damage him, so going by "if it bleeds, we can kill it", I'm assuming I can finish it off. But both times I've tried to fight the thing I ended up permastunned (as in, I was stunned and the bar never decreased, so I stayed stunned forever... not he just kept hitting me and restunning before the stun ran out). Especially frustrating since I had the ring of Stone Skin on, which is supposed to make me immune to stuns. I'm unsure if this is a bug or a boss mechanic.

How exactly does the guardian work? I noticed when I shot arrows at him they bounced off and seemed to come back at me. Did I stun myself because my weapon has stun on it, and therefore it reflected back at me, or does the guy just stun anyway?

Given that it usually takes me two hours to get to him, and dying to him means losing the game, I haven't wanted to experiment much. I just book it for the staircase. Basically I'm curious what the guardian's abilities are and what a strategy would be for beating him. Is there anything worthwhile for doing so?

I'm making an adventure map in Minecraft.

I've been trying to make a key that opens a door and then deletes itself from your inventory. I got it to work flawlessly without NBT tags, using a trip-wire hook as a key.

After I assigned NBT tags to it thusly,
tripwire_hook {display:{Name:"Key",Lore:["Opens one door"]}} the tripwire is now called a "Key" and describes exactly what it does and it even works to open the door. The command block that tests for the key in the players hand still works.

Unfortunately, the /clear @p command block will not recognize the item whether I add the NBT tag after "tripwire_hook" or not. Here is the command that I've used:

/clear @p tripwire_hook 1 {display:{Name:"Key",Lore:["Opens one door"]}}

Just to be safe, I tried the following:

/clear @p tripwire_hook 1 1 {display:{Name:"Key",Lore:["Opens one door"]}}

/clear @p tripwire_hook 0 1 {display:{Name:"Key",Lore:["Opens one door"]}}

And it will still not clear the item.

I'm using Minecraft 1.8.3.
Can anyone please advise?

I'm getting gold pretty quickly but I'd really like to max out my level. What's the most efficient way to turn gold into XP, in terms of Gold/XP?

The best I can think of is food, since I get XP for buying it, and then I get more for feeding it to dragons, but I don't know how this stacks up to say buying Metal Dragon eggs and hatching them; those give good XP as well, in fact I think it's one point of XP per gold.

I would also like to know, besides what can headshot enemies, which of those weapons have the biggest leniency in terms of getting headshot. For example, with hanzo, you can aim close to the head and it will still count as a headshot; is his Storm Bow the most lenient in the game in terms of how far you can stray from a player's head and still get headshots, or are there other weapons that allow for even bigger cheesing?


texts: Where should the AD Carry be in the Mid Game

texts:
This is one of the reasons I play ADC less nowadays. It used to be my main.

When the mid game comes I don't know where I should be. For example:

We got their bot lane turret. but the waves on bot just keep coming. Should I be there preventing the push and farming? Or should I go to the mid lane and help the team win teamfights?

I really don't know what to do in these situations, and of course there are variations

What if we didn't take the bot turret?

Is the other team grouping?

Are we losing/winning?

I often go for the farm and my team goes for a fight without me and we lose or I go to my team and we lose bot turret and nothing happens with the team, therefore I'm losing farm.

In these situations what is the best approach?

texts: Can DFHACK saved stockpile settings be safely used in different worlds?

texts:
One of the features that the DFHACK mod adds to Dwarf Fortress is the ability to save stockpile settings and load them into a different stockpile, which is much faster than repeating the workflow of selecting the item types that you want in the stockpile one at a time. It even allows you to load stockpile settings saved from a different world.

But some of the item types listed in the stockpile settings menu are procedurally generated - for example forgotten beast meats and musical instruments and their components - and the number of types of these in one world won't necessarily be the same as the number of types in a different world.

It's not difficult to imagine how an implementation of saved stockpile settings could cause problems when importing stockpile settings from one world into another world - if it's just a save of a block of opaque binary data, the correct size for that data won't be the same between worlds with different numbers of procedurally generated item types, and loading stockpile settings from another world would cause a buffer overrun if it's too big or leave uninitialized memory if it's too small.

So, is it safe to load stockpile settings into different world from the one in which they were saved?

Can this be done?


texts: How to make a command block summon an end crystal on top of said command block in Minecraft 1.14.1

texts:
I want to put a command into a command block that will spawn an invulnerable end crystal directly on top of the command block relative to the command block's location in world.

This is the current command I am putting in the command block minus any tag for offset since the offset is what I am trying to figure out.

/summon minecraft:end_crystal ~ ~1 ~ {PersistenceRequired:1b,Attributes:[{Name:"generic.knockbackResistance",Base:1f}],Invulnerable:1}

Specific question: How do I put an offset in the command block command in order to get my desired result above?

texts: Tweak graphics settings to prevent extreme glimmering of equipment

texts:
There are metallic parts of equipment on characters that tend to glimmer a lot, especially when the characters slowly bob back and forth. At times characters can almost look like a 70s Disco Ball straight from Grease.

Here's a small example:

And an animated version:

Is there any graphics setting I can tweak to reduce this extreme amount of glimmering?

To be more complete, for me personally this occurs with this setup:

texts: Do Rumbles Auto-Attacks when OverHeated affect structures?

texts:
I like to play Rumble and one thing I do out of instinct is overheating at the turret (after killing the other toplaner) and auto-attack it while overheated for the bonus AD.

It makes me slightly vulnerable there under turret.

But do Rumbles overheated auto-attacks really affect structures(I can't really tell from looking at the screen)? Or do they only work on minions/champions?


texts: Why doesn't my camouflage save between different servers in Battlefield 3?

texts:
Going from server to server is nice to mix up the game play, but it becomes a major hassle when every time I connect, I have to modify some of my player's settings: mainly, my player's camouflage.  It is a pain to have to do this every time if I do not want to use the default camo - which sticks out like a sore thumb.

Is there any file I can modify or a setting I am missing to keep my player's settings between servers?

texts: How can I play StarCraft 2 competitively against less skilled friends?

texts:
I really enjoy StarCraft 2, and mostly want to play with my friends. We enjoy playing Co-op vs. AI (with 3 or 4 of us humans on a team). But I would like to get into some skirmishes against them as well.

Unfortunately, I happen to be much better at the game than many of these friends. The one time so far I have convinced a friend to try a 1-on-1, it wasn't really a competition even with me at 50% handicap. That sort of thing makes them not want to play with me anymore, which is the last thing I want to have happen.

What sorts of handicaps (other than the ones in the matchup screen) are appropriate to tune the difficulty for us such that matches between my friends and I will not be obviously 1-sided? In particular, I don't want to have to pull punches and play poorly on purpose; I would like for it to be challenging on both sides, and for all involved be able to play to the best of our abilities.

(Classes of handicaps I have considered, but not yet tried, would be arbitrary limitations on things I am not allowed to do in the game such as build certain units or something.)

texts: When does the Tyranny of King Washington take place?

texts:
I finished the main storyline and just started the The Tyranny of King Washington DLC.  Before starting I understood that the DLC is an alternative universe, as detailed in the first episode's description on the Xbox Marketplace:

  Following the revolution, Washington goes mad with power and rules as a tyrannical King. Connor awakes in this reality as Ratonhnhaké:ton – never having joined the Assassin order – and is greeted by his mother Kaniehtí:io, accepting a new mission to take down Washington. Acquire all-new skills to fend off this new threat to freedom. Live history as it never happened and ignite a new revolution!

I assumed that the the storyline takes part after the events in the main game, albeit without "Connor" joining the Assassins.  However, a couple of things do not make sense when compared to the main storyline:

  1 - Kaniehtí:io (Connor's mother) died when Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor) was a boy, by an attack ordered on the village by George Washington, whereas in the DLC you see Connor's mother killed by an attack (ordered by George Washington) when he is an adult
2 - Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor) receives his hidden blades from Achilles, and later kills his father (Haytham), whereas in the DLC Haytham doesn't appear to make an appearance but Connor receives his father's hidden blades from his mother

How far back does this alternative reality actually begin?

At what point in the main story do the events of the DLC begin (e.g. is it after Sequence 12)?


texts: How do I use the sword and shield I found?

texts:
I'm just starting Dark Souls as a Warrior, and have encountered the first giant monster, archer, and sword-wielding opponents, and have found a shield and a sword, but I can't seem to equip either of them, and don't know why.

I can get to them in inventory, but when I select them, their "use" option has a line through it, and pressing that button does nothing.

I checked the wiki and it seems I should have plenty of Strength for the shield (I start with Strength 13)... is there some other requirement before I can equip them, or am I just being stumped by the UI?

I am trying to run a private Minecraft server for a bunch of friends and am using the dedicated server .jar file and running it through a .bat file with the following arguments:

java -Xmx3072M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.1.12.2.jar nogui

My problem is, that I can join to my own server from my own machine, even through the external IP at any time, whereas my friends are unable to join the server once there is at least one person already playing. They keep receiving a Read Timed out-error during the "downloading terrain" phase while joining the server, or time out soon after they have successfully loaded and joined the server.

I have whitelisted Java in the Windows Firewall as well as opened the port 25565 in my router through both TCP and UDP.

canyouseeme.org also tells me that I am visible on port 25565.

Running a HTTP server on 80, or a Terraria server on 7777 works perfectly fine without any hitches.

I have already tried:

Allocating more RAM to the server (3GB)
Opening every port to my computer through my router (Exposed Host)
Disabling the router firewall to my computer
Disabling the Windows Firewall completely
Using a different port than 25565 for my server

Some additional info that might be beneficial in solving the problem:

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASUS Prime B350-PLUS
RAM: 16GB Corsair LPX DDR4-3000
Router: FRITZ!Box 7390
ISP: Deutsche Telekom

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I would be fine playing with colorblind mode on, but I can't see how much health someone has without clicking on them.

texts: Is there any way of hiding the rank-up of my Strange weapons?

texts:
Normally, I couldn't care less who sees when one of my Strange weapons has ranked up, but, I've recently got a Strange Dead Ringer, and, whenever its rank increases, it notifies everyone on the current server, including my enemy team, that I'm using a Dead Ringer. Obviously, this is inconvenient when I'm feigning death, or going for "silent kills" (e.g. with the Spy-cicle or Your Eternal Reward).

Is there any way around this (i.e. can I stop these notifications going to everyone server-wide every time my Strange weapon ranks up)?


texts: Does completing a mission in Brutal difficulty counts towards the "Wings of Liberty: Hard 5/10/15/20/25" achievements?

texts:
Thanks to those achievements being pretty glitched at the moment I didn't get the "Wings of Liberty: Hard 5/10/15/20/25" achievements by replaying missions on Hard difficulty after completing them in Normal difficulty.

I read that you have to restart a new Campaign and never change difficulty level throughout the whole play, which I am willing to do. But I wouldn't like to restart it twice (one time in Hard difficulty, and one in Brutal), so I am thinking of restarting it directly in Brutal difficulty.

Can anyone confirm that completing missions in Brutal difficulty not only counts towards the "Wings of Liberty: Brutal 5/10/15/20/25" and "Liberty Completionist: Brutal" achievements, but also towards the "Wings of Liberty: Hard 5/10/15/20/25" and "Liberty Completionist: Hard" ?

texts: Skyrim Controller Controls Keep Resetting

texts:
I know I'm late to the party, both because this game is old and because similar questions have been asked. But none of the other answers I've seen work for me so far.
My Problem
In Skyrim, I can go to Settings -> Controls, and change the button mapping for my controller (controller, not keyboard). From then on, everything works perfectly until I quit the game. Upon reopening Skyrim later for another session, I find that the controls have reset to what they were previously. This happens every time I close and reopen the game, forcing me to remap my desired controls at the start of every game session.
My Setup
I'm running Skyrim Special Edition on a Windows 10 PC with Steam. I have all three official DLC packs installed. I have one mod installed (through the official, in-game mod system), but it's only the "Unofficial Skyrim Patch", which to my understanding is a highly used, very benign mod. I'm using a Dualshock 4 controller (PS4 controller), connected via USB.
Interesting Note
If I play without a controller and change a keyboard mapping, that change does persist through sessions. So it's only the controller mapping that seems to be the problem, not the keyboard mapping.
What I've Tried
These are suggestions from various other posts which I've tried to no success.
Running as Administrator
I've gone into the compatibility settings for both SkyrimSE.exe and SkyrimSELauncher.exe and checked off "Run this program as an Administrator". No change.
Taking ownership of the install folder
I looked at the security settings of C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition and I can see that my current user is already the owner of this folder. So this suggestion as not applicable.
Delete ControlMap_Custom.txt
When I launch Skyrim with this file deleted, the controls that I get are different from the usual controls, but are not the ones I saved. After remapping the controls in Skyrim, this file is recreated, and then next time I open the game, I'm back to the original incorrect controls.
Contrary to the .txt file extension, this file does not seem to be a text file. Opening it in Notepad is gibberish, so I can't even take a look at what's inside. I will say that upon testing, changing my controller mapping doesn't seem to affect at all what gibberish is inside the file. It stays consistent no matter what buttons I assign to what function.
What I Want
What I'd really like is a fix for this very simple problem. Ideally there would be a way to make this work in vanilla Skyrim itself, but at this point I'll accept a mod solution as well.
Short of that, I'd appreciate any information on where/how Skyrim stores its controller mapping. And if the answer is the ControlMap_Custom.txt file, I'd appreciate info on how to open that file correctly so I can read (or hopefully even edit) it.


texts: What is the exact behavior of creeps, on first wave aggro?

texts:
I am interested in understanding all the creep actions, especially aggro, in League of Legends.

The creeps, you know! The stupid little creatures no one cares about, no one even bothers destroying, which follow a simple path and have very rudimentary combat behavior.

I am adressing this place to know if minion code structure is known in LoL, or in similar MOBA games like HoN, DOTA1&2, Smite, etc.

To be a bit more accurate about my question, I am currently looking for aggro scan specifics, call for help (when a creep draws assistance from an allied creep) prioritization, attack flag structure.

Thanks for answers!

Please note : do not link here the lol wiki minion page, I read it 1000 times :)

As such, while the "The Big Hunt" achievement isn't flagrantly ambiguous (like some other achievements) I still haven't the faintest clue as to how to achieve it.

Killing Floor
The Big Hunt - Kill a circus Scrake with a crossbow

texts:
Before, if you didn't have latest the WoW expansion, there would be a little panel with options such as buying an expansion or trying a trial of it for 10 days inside your account.

Now it's gone. All I see is this Diablo 3 offer, but a "Free trial" link appeared in the list of things you can do with your account (when you click on your WoW in the list of games). The problem is that it doesn't work. It links to nothing. When you press it nothing happens.

Also, can't you usually get 7 days free for WoW's birthday? I thought that was today, but I can't find a link for it.

EDIT: I have starter edition and BC's trial would reset after some time, so I was able to level to 70 like that.

texts: Is it true that you get a better ranking while playing offensive characters than while playing support characters during placements?

texts:
I remember reading and hearing a lot of times that playing with a character who is supposed to deal a lot of damages and to get a lot of kills will get you an overall better personal ranking than if you just play as a support during the different ranked matches, even if you do a really good job, as you do way less damages and kills.

Since season 1, I have been playing the whole time with the same friend, who is playing support most of the time, while I usually take a DPS/tank position. So we were doing our placement matches together, and we did a good job most of the time. Though, after the placements during season 2 and 3, we figured that both times I ended up with 200 more points than him. So we have really been questioning if this fact was indeed true. He is mainly playing Zenyatta and Lucio, while I am mostly playing all the offensive/tank characters.

Taking two players who are as good as each other with one playing mostly offensive characters and the other support characters, is it really true that the support player will end up with less points than a DPS player?  How are the different values of a match (kills, damages, healing...) influencing on those points?

texts: Where to start a multiplayer game for newbies?

texts:
I might have to organize a LAN to introduce CK II to a few friends, and for some of them it will be the first game.

When I have to teach to just one I usually have her pick Dublin.

However this time there might be 2-3 new players, plus 1-2 slightly more experienced players, plus me.

I'd like:

everyone to start as a single-county Count, and to be a Feudal Christian (also independent, if possible).
newbies to start in a position where it's not too difficult to form its (unformed) Duchy.
the players will not be fighting each other.
I'd avoid poor areas such as Scandinavia (I'm not sure about East Europe).
Better if they are also somewhat close, so that they can decide to gangbang common enemies (this is not strictly necessary).

If the newbies end up being only two, I could have them both start in Ireland, and the more experienced ones in Wales or Scotland. I'm not terribly convinced, but it might work.

Otherwise there might be some suitable areas in Spain, France, HRE, Greece?

The Duchies of Susa and Ancona aren't formed in 1066 IIRC, but it's not exactly trivial to conquer them, since there are powerful neighbours…

Anyone has got any clever idea about this?

I.e. does saving all six trays perhaps give you bonus resources, research or similar?


texts: How long does it take for the "Give Valentine" to reset on your neighbor's character?

texts:
This is my first Valentine's Day event with Tapped Out.  How long does it takes once someone gives a Valentine to your neighbor's character before you can give them another one?

Many of my neighbors do not seem to have any characters which allow you to give them a Valentine, so they are just idling and I cannot gain any hearts or experience from them at all.


texts: Can I obtain all DIY recipes without venturing out to other islands?

texts:
Are all DIY recipes available to be unlocked all within the confines of my own island? Or are some DIY recipes locked behind visiting other players' islands, or interacting with friends through their island?

I haven't really seen any DIY recipes through the Nook Terminal, aside from the Pretty Good Tools upgrade.  In addition, all the other "DIY" recipes are stuff for things like haircuts, and less so about furniture and craftable decorations.


texts: How to transfer your Overwatch friends' list to the PTR?

texts:
I have a list of friends, most of whom I've added using the 'recent players' feature in the main Overwatch game.

I'm attempting to add these people on the PTR (because my friends' list doesn't sync, I guess) but I don't have their full battletag.

Is there any way to either see their battletags or sync the friends list?


texts: What is the difference between these two official PS3 headsets?

texts:
Is one newer? Are they both official and are there any other official headset solutions?

Is it pointless to pay more for official headsets?
