texts: What is the quickest excavation method without TNT?

texts:
I have a tendency to take on huge digging projects. Not mining projects; digging projects.

For surface digs, these are usually there to add flair to the map; such as a 20m x 20m sinkhole completely finished with stone, and with access minecart tracks to subterranean mines and such; and sometimes they are loooong minecart tunnels (a recent project saw me digging a 3m x 3m x 2800[sic]m tunnel).

The problem with a lot of these projects is that as this is on an SMP server, my access to TNT is somewhat stunted; digging takes forever.

For tunnels there's not a lot to be done for this; but for pits I'm intensely curious as to wether or not I'm using an efficient method of digging:

Usually I'll use a mix of horizontal and vertical digging; digging first down to however deep I need the pit, expanding to cover the entire projected area, and then using the original shaft to create a staircase to go back up to the surface, and digging straight down in 4x4 squares until done.

I've also tried taking off one level of dirt/stone at a time, but the problem with both these methods are that they are intensely monotonous.

Are there any other, less soul-crushingly repetitive methods that can be employed?

(Might be tangentially related to Movement and digging/mining speed.)

texts: Is there any way to place the Ebony Blade on a rack?

texts:
I have a lovely display of Daedric artefacts in the basement of my house in Solitude.  Irritatingly, the Ebony Blade refuses to be held by any weapon rack (whether wall mounted or free standing).  It is unequipped successfully but then falls onto the floor rather than being attached to the mount.

I had thought that this was just a sign that two handed weapons can't be mounted, however there were iron greatswords pre-supplied in them and further research has revealed that this is a known bug with the Ebony Blade.  Has anyone found a method of mounting the ebony blade?

Edit: He doesn't even let me train in archery.


texts: What does "Lifesaver" mean on the Play of the Game?

texts: Where does the "Frog's Theme" appear in Chrono Trigger?

texts:
I'm supposed to learn how to play the Frog's Theme song from Chrono Trigger on SNES for a band I just joined. After thinking I knew how to play several other songs correctly, I found that by using an SNES emulator and silencing different sound channels there are frequently parts of the music that are buried in the mix. I want to learn the song right and make sure I don't miss anything, so I'm trying to get to the part in the game where the song appears so I can listen carefully to each "track" in the song. The problem is, I'm not very familiar with the game and don't know where the song appears.

I found some save states here:

http://www.fantasyanime.com/squaresoft/ctsaves-srm.htm
http://www.fantasyanime.com/squaresoft/ctsaves-enhasa.htm

I'm sure it's an awesome game but I don't have the time to play it all the way through just to look for this song. Could anyone tell me how I can quickly find it? Which save state should I start with, and then what do I need to do?

texts: Are there any strategies for finding the timing of attacks for character trials?

texts:
Having recently switched to fightstick about a year ago I thought it would help with the timing and execution of combos but I'm still having issues with timing and staying persistent for trials. My main and the character I have been playing with for years is Ryu and I figure he is going to be the easiest for me to jump into for trials, but after completing about half of them I am just stuck.

So aside from the tip of always doing combos in the corner, any other advice on the timing or any other training I should maybe do before trying (and failing) the trials? Right now I spend time in training just doing fireballs and what not to get more familiar with the fightstick and playing random matches online. I also play through hardest difficulty arcade to kind of get in the groove.

I asked a somewhat similar question a couple years ago but now the situation has changed, and if the answer is really just keep at it and just mash it till it works then I do apologize for asking. But if there is a proven practice method for getting the timing for the trials or combo's in general advice would be grand.

Also, this kind of feels like it could start a discussion so to keep the question open please just provide links to either forums that talk about this or video's that help, along side any personal advice. I am aware though this is kind of a gray question though so no hard feelings if it gets closed.

Thanks again.

texts: Vivillon's Pattern 3DS Locations - Who do I need to trade with?

texts:
According to Vivillon's Pokedex Entry, they have different wing patterns depending on their original location in the world:

  Vivillon with many different patterns are found all over the world. These patterns are affected by the climate of their habitat

So I've been doing some research, and it seems the pattern is determined by the real-world location of the 3DS in which Scatterbug was first caught, in some countries down to individual states/regions.

This seems to have exploded on forums and Reddit, but as of yet I cannot find a definitive source of the possible variations, and their locations.

So, What are the locations I need to trade with in order to get all the different patterns?


texts: In early-mid game, how to fight as a mage with low magicka regen?

texts:
I'm just getting started in the world of Skyrim as high elf at level 13. I'm trying to build up my character as a pure mage, but my poor magicka pool and weak armor is proving to be such a huge handicap on me I started wondering if I've done anything wrong.

I wear half/half heavy/light armors to balance HP and MP. In battle, my magicka usually completely drains within 10s with some firebolts, and even faster if I summon a flame Atronach, which dies pretty fast. Then I'll be stuck at an awkward point where I'm too crisp to get close up, and magicka regens too slow to rebulid another round of attack, and all I can do is stand there and watch my follower die. The only way to avoid this is drink a lot of magic potions, which are quite  expensive.

Another popular post has given some really interesting suggestions such as magic reduction  but it seems to involve enchantments and perks acquired later in the game, which I do not have. What should I do to enhance my combat?

Is this purely intentional, and does this happen in SMP (can't confirm now)? If it does explode in SMP, can I disable it (the explosion) for beds only, in case some griefer does this?

EDIT: Since it happens in SMP, is there a mod to disable this? Even if the bed kills them (the griefers) they still can go into the portal and wreak havoc in it

texts: What happens if I try to continue my existing game after I beat Bastion?

texts:
There's a certain point in Bastion where you are warned that, if you continue, you won't be able to go back to the Bastion or into other areas. I played through that point, beat the game, and started a new game in the "New Game Plus" mode. When I started the new game, the game overwrote my existing game, which was more or less expected.

In my current game, I will eventually hit this point again. Once I do, I have two goals:

Beat the game & get the achievements.
Challenge myself in "Who Knows Where" with the various idols active.

I would prefer to do it in the order listed above, but at this point there's no guarantee that I'd be able to get back into a satisfactory point in the game. The way I see it, there's one of three things that could happen if I try to enter the game after I beat it:

The game dumps me in the Bastion right before I entered the zone, allowing me to play through the other areas some more.
The game dumps me somewhere after I entered the point of no return, thus preventing me from going back.
The game simply shows statistics/credits/a message saying that I can't go back in.

Considering the events that occur after that point combined with a comment Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw makes in his review of the game, I'm guessing what occurs along the lines of option 3. However, that's just a guess. What actually happens when you select 'Continue' after completing Bastion but before starting a new game?

texts: How do I start Super Melee mode in The Ur-Quan Masters?

texts:
I've figured out how to configure team names, membership, and control.  But beyond that screen, I can't seem to find how to initiate battle.

After clicking the "BATTLE!" button, I'm presented with a screen that has a black background and two blue boxes.  Each box has a team name, and icons representing the ships in each team and their values.  Each box also has two buttons - a question mark and a red X.

At this point, my normal controls (Up/Down/Left/Right/Control/Shift/Escape) seem to not function.  Is there something wrong with the game, or my system?  Or, does the control set change specially for Super Melee mode at this point?  How should I proceed?

This is on a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 system, with UQM version 0.7.0.

texts: Twisted Fate: Do Wildcards (Q) apply the effects of Pick A Card (W)?

texts:
Wildcards (Q):

  Twisted Fate throws 3 cards forward in an arc, dealing magic damage 60 / 110 / 160 / 210 / 260 (+ 65% AP) to enemies they pass through.

Pick a Card (W):

  When first activated, cards flash over Twisted Fate's head in the following order: blue, then red, then gold (this cycle repeats itself). When he uses the ability again, he picks the current card over his head; the card picked converts his next basic attack within 6 seconds to deal magic damage and add a special effect. Twisted Fate has 6 seconds to select a card.

Do the Wildcard cards apply the same effect as the cards in Pick a Card?

An update for Beat Hazard was released a couple of minutes ago: http://store.steampowered.com/news/4842/

Which my Steam client has rushed out to download, and, presumably, install.

The thing is, I can't figure out where they've put the features they're listing there.  (I really want the "remove quit screen" one :P)

When I go to the "options" page in the main menu, the only sections are "Audio & VSync", "Screen Resolution", and "languages", none of which seems relevant.

Is there some bonus hidden settings page somewhere?  Or maybe a config file I don't know about?  Or has the patch just not been installed, whatever Steam thinks?

texts: Blood on the Ice - No interaction with the clues in Hjerim possible

texts:
As the title says, I'm having huge problems with the "Blood on the Ice" questline.
On my first playthrough, I was able to finish the quest withouth problems, was able to buy, clean-up and furnish the house, but on the second playthrough, this questline is utterly broken, and I dont know why.

Quest triggered normally (walked into the graveyard at night), and I was able to persue it until the point where I had to investigate Hjerim. I talked to Tova Shatter-Shield, got the key and entered Hjerim. Inside I found the usual mess. Bones, blood, etc. The Quest updates to "find the clues". And this, I think, is the point where my quest broke for some reason I cannot fathom. Whenever I want to investigate ("Use") something inside Hjerim, nothing happens. I tried to use the chest, the bed, the little shelf with the amulet and the fliers and the "false" cabinet. But nothing happens. I'm not able to open the cabinet, I'm not able to pick up the amulet or the fliers. Also, instead of "Investigate Bed" for example, it says "Investigate InvestigationTarget".

I got desperate, so I tried to jumpstart the questline by putting a flier in my pocket via a console command. The quest updated, and I went to find Viola Giordano. Once I found her, she came with me to Hjerim, to investigate further. She stopped next to the false cabinet and told me, that it looked unusual, and that I should investigate it. BUT I still cannot interact with it. I cant open it, and I'm stuck.

I also tried to finish the whole questline via console, bought the house, cleaned up the mess, furnished it, but I still cant open the false cabinet in order to get access to the alchemy/enchanting lab. I just dont know what to do anymore, since I cant find anything on the internet about this particular situation.

I hope someone can help me. Hjerim is the one house in the game with the most storage place, and I really wanna have it (working).

texts: Grinding early experience points in Ni No Kuni

texts:
I have been hurting for a good RPG for a while and with such good reviews, when Ni No Kuni went on a recent PSN sale, I couldn't resist. I finally got some time to start in the other day.  I am still very early and our main character has just started being able to battle.

I am wondering if there are any real benefits to grinding experience points early in the game.  Any Google search of this immediately points to Tokos (like in this IGN guide).

From my Final Fantasy days I normally like to sit in an area and get a few levels before moving on so I have a leg up on my enemies. In Ni No Kuni, is there any real benefit to grinding before Tokos?  In general, when should I start or how far in will I need to start grinding experience?

Right now it is still just our main character as the only party member (and no familiars) and have not tried going into any towns or anything (so yes, very, very early in).  Spoiler-free tips appreciated.

texts: Is there a way to do "mouseover" spell casting without a macro?

texts:
I often play as a healer.  My favorite way to heal is to mouse over a friendly unit frame or 3D model and press the hotkey of the spell I wish to cast.  I do this via "mouseover" macros.

Example macro:

/cast [@mouseover,help][] Penance

This macro says: "Cast on a friendly target my mouse is over. If none, try to cast using the default targeting mechanism."  This allows me to keep my mouse over unit frames and hit buttons rather than needing to click at all. I find it quick, easy, and intuitive.

However, doing this means I need to have a whole lot of macros.  There aren't all that many macros available (18 per-character macros) so it'd be nice if I didn't have to clog up my healer macro slots with pretty much every healing spell I know.

Is there a way to do this mouseover behavior without a macro?

texts: What strategy should I use for Cho Wars games?

texts:
Cho Wars is still a common game type on Voobly and Gameranger whereby players effectively spam the map with hundreds of legions.  These matches have the following match settings:

All players are Choson
Death Match
Start in Iron Age
200 population (remember that Legion's count as half population)
Default starting resources
Reveal All
Map = No water

Towers may or may not be allowed, depending on the host's rules.

Question

What are the common starting build orders, including technologies, for such a match?

Any insight into economy would be useful too (total villagers, and ratio per resource).


texts: How does Eve Online's Planetary Interaction system work, at a social level?

texts:
Eve Online's Planetary Interaction has been available for a while, but I haven't really paid attention to it. Now I'm wondering how it works - specifically in social terms (player-versus-player, etc), not the game mechanics. There's a lot of questions that the wiki doesn't answer. For instance:

Is it subject to direct PVP? Can other players attack your mining equipment? Are there differences in hi-sec versus lo-sec?
Is there indirect PVP? Say a limit on how many machines per-planet, so it's first-come, first-served? Similar to asteroids?
What kind of investment (training time, cash) does it take to get profitable? Is it low enough that everyone can do it (which would seem to lead to inflation)? Or is it fairly difficult and time-consuming (like training for a Titan, say? :)

If I had to sum it up in only one question, it would be - what kinds of player interactions does PI enable?

texts: I have a Hammer of Fighting that I want to use, but I don't have enough storage. My Dark Elixer storage is only 240,000, but my Bowler troop that I want to upgrade has a storage of 280,000. Would it work if I use Hammer of Fighting without enough Dark Elixer storage?


texts: What does the full research tree look like?

texts:
I find myself constantly wishing I had some idea what the research tree looked like. For example, if I want to unlock plasma weapons, do I have to go down the laser weapon path first to unlock it, or am I going in completely in the wrong direction?If I want to get a satellite nexus, what do I need for it? How do I get this stealth armor I've heard about?

I have so many questions like this, and some sort of research tree with related manufacturing items would be of immense help.


texts: Why does my game in Epic Games Launcher shows Uninstall and I haven't installed it yet?

texts:
My Epic Games Launcher shows the game Killing Floor 2 with the "Uninstall" button, but I haven't installed it!
Is it because I stayed lots of time to forget the download?
Edit: I just logged in to play Fortnite after it logged me out somehow and it shows "Resume download". It sometimes shows me this and other times shows me that...
Any specific reason?


texts: How do I compare armour pieces for my companion?

texts:
I know that when you're examining an armour piece in your inventory, its protection values relative to your currently equipped piece are displayed with +/- next to the value depending on how better/worse it is.

Is it possible to display the same comparison when equipping your companion? When I am going through their inventory to decide what they should wear, I'm getting the comparison to my gear, not theirs.


texts: How are trainers in the TL40 leaderboard doing more than 100 trades per day?

texts:
TL40 is an organisation that collects statistics on level 40 trainers (thus TL40).

One of the statistics is the Gentleman badge, which tracks the number of trades a person has done. The game limits you do 100 trades per day.

However some of the monthly leaderboards (currently only available as a private Google Sheet on Google drive) for that statistic shows over a 100 trades/day ( ~109/day).

How is that possible in the game, or is it an artifact of how the data is collected?


texts: How does one most effectively progress from Torment I upwards?

texts:
I'm wondering what are the mechanics involved in being able to handle higher difficulty levels once you have a character at level 70. I tend to do bounties and rifts and I up my paragon levels and slowly I seem to be able to cope better at my current torment level so I go to the next one, but I don't really understand specifically what it is I'm doing that is making the current level easier.

Obviously the buffs provided by paragon points help to an extent, as does the cube powers, and finding and equipping better gear. I suppose mostly I'm wondering about the better gear drops. Is the quality of gear that drops related to the Torment level I'm playing at? Is it, along with probability/randomness, going to be some function of the level of my current equipped gear, or my paragon level?

With regard to set items, gear that I have at Torment I is not going to suffice if I try to step up to Torment IV. Should I be looking to craft a new version of a set item to replace it? And if so, what aspects of the game will determine that the newly crafted version will be better than my current version? Is it purely random?

tl;dr: how do I give myself a better chance of ensuring my gear levels with me in the end-game?

texts: Are days longer than nights in Phantom Pain?

texts:
Unless I don't really know how to estimate durations, I noticed that day time in Phantom Pain seems longer than the night. I'm currently still doing the Afghanistan missions.

Seven minutes usually is the time to get S rank.

Are days really longer than nights?

texts: What is the criteria for entering ranked matches?

texts:
I have almost reached rank 30, which unlocks ranked games in the menu.

I have been told that there are additional requirements.  Namely I need to master at least 18 gods.  This isn't really a problem, as I have around 40 mastered.  However, I do not own 18 mastered gods, as I simply master some of the gods on the free rotation each week.

Do I also need to own 18 mastered gods in order to play ranked?

Does owning also include gods on the free rotation?  For example, if I own 16 gods, all mastered, will 2 gods on the current free rotation (also currently mastered) allow me to play ranked games?


texts: Is it true that large pastures do not benefit from the 2nd herdsman?

texts:
In this link, there is a most efficient pasture size calculator for sheep pastures. At the bottom of the page, there is a note that states:

  All sizes of pastures require just one worker to function optimally -
  although larger pastures are assigned 2 farmers by default, they gain
  no additional benefit from the extra farmer.

Is this statement correct? Also, if it is false, I might be skeptical about the correctness of the size calculator as well. Could you verify or falsify these?

texts: Do you have to beat the game in one sitting?

texts:
I've played through the game up to the first miniboss (Kali), which was a six minutes long battle that kind of worn me out.

When the following encounter started, I decided that I'd take a break. After all, the pause menu says "SAVE & EXIT" and that sounded precisely like what I wanted to do. ("MAIN MENU" is also an option, so I assumed that was the "Don't save & exit" button. Both ask for confirmation.)

Nope! When I clicked then on next I was met again by encounter 24 (the first), with all mages at level 1.

Groan.

Do I have to do it all on one sitting? Can I restore my progress to that point in the game?

That is, if you kill her in any one of these locations (and can she be killed in all of them?), does she stop showing up in all the others?

texts: Xbox One Saved Data - How to retain saved data after uninstall

texts:
My storage is almost full and I need to uninstall some of my games.

Some games I play have just the game size whereas other gave the game size as well as "Saved Data".

What I want to do is uninstall some games but keep all of my saved data for when I go back to those games.

I assume that for games that have reserved space for saved data; as long as I only uninstall the game without touching the saved data then i should retain my saved data.

Though, some games I play don't have any reserved space for saved data which makes me believe that if I uninstall those games I'll lose all of my saved data.

texts: How do I orientate the navball properly with a probe?

texts:
I have designed a rocket with a plane on the top. It looks a bit like a Christmas tree topper and hence a bit silly, but it works. However, once I get it into orbit, left is right, up is down, and in general its a nightmare to control; I'd never manage to dock it or fly it anywhere.

Part of the reason is because I can't tell the orientation of a probe just by looking at it - its all grey, all over. If I press W, A, S, or D, I don't really know which way it has spun, so again, it's a nightmare.

Is there any way to orientate the probe properly? Does anyone have any tips?


texts: How can I start the Thieves Guild quests if Brynolf is hiding from me?

texts:
I have just kind of learned about the Nightingale armor and how cool it is an all. I figured out I have to complete the Thieves Guild quest line.

I went into my quests and do not see a quest on the list of quests I found for the specific quest line. Here is my problem. I have joined the guild, but that was a long time ago. I have no clue weather I succeeded in planting the ring or not. In addition, no matter where I look, I can not find Brynjolf in Riften. Is there any way I can still start these quests?

Also, all of the odd jobs I ask for are auxiliary quests except the "No Stone Unturned" quest and I only need Proudspire Manor to complete that quest. Is that another way to access the main quest line?


texts:
In We Happy Few, the player's journal contains a statistics page. One of the stats is called "Total non-lethal kills".

Putting aside the blatantly self-contradictory nature of that label, what is considered a "non-lethal kill" by the game? Is it just any action taken by the player that renders an NPC unconscious rather than dead? (Directly causing a death counts as "murder"; indirectly causing a death does not count toward any stat.)

Initially, I assumed the word "kill" was simply an artifact of the fact that in some games — including Dishonored, and BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea - Episode 2 — a non-lethal elimination is functionally equivalent to a kill, with the only differences being that a weapon or move designated as "non-lethal" is used and the NPC's state is "unconscious", not "dead". For example, in BaS - Episode 2, unconscious NPCs never wake up and their bodies can even despawn, just like dead NPCs. This is also the case with every Dishonored game.

But, while playing We Happy Few, I just came across this in-game tip:

  Unconscious people eventually wake up and walk away when you're not looking.

... so I guess that theory is out the window, basically, since you could technically "non-lethally kill" someone twice. Does that also mean they die, non-lethally, twice? (This may sound like an absurd question but answering it in terms of "killing" someone twice would certainly help with answering the primary question.)

texts: How EXACTLY does the two-player mode work in Cuphead?

texts:
Disclaimer: I've been searching over and over for a detailed explanation of how does the two-player mode work in Cuphead, but there are tons of results linking to completely worthless articles from garbage sites.

So far, I've found exactly zero useful information, so I'm asking here.

So, is there an official or informed source regarding the 2-player mechanics?

Specifically:

when there are two players, do the monsters gain more lives, more attacks, or what?
if someone dies and fails to be revived, what exactly determines when he can come back? I've noticed that sometimes it's almost immediate, sometimes it's very delayed. Sometimes pressing start makes you come back, often it has no effect. No clue.
is there any non-obvious effect? (i.e. not like "both have coins to spend", ok thank you very much, I can see that…)

While technically these look like multiple questions, THEY ARE NOT. The question is: is there a list of the actual mechanic differences in the 2-player mode? Those above are just examples of what such a list should include.

texts: How do I take the bomb flower to Dodongo's Cave?

texts: I am playing Ocarina of Time (the 3DS version) for the first time, and I am at the part where I need to enter Dodongo's Cave.  I can carry Bomb Flowers, but when I try to take them to the boulder blocking off the entrance, they explode before I can even come near.  I noticed a section of the wall that might be bombable, but I can't get the bomb to there without having it explode either, even though it's not that far away.  Maybe I'm just not fast enough.  I looked up a walkthrough, and it said to throw the Bomb Flower over the fence.  The game wouldn't let me do that when I tried; even when I got really close to the fence, the bomb somehow bounced off of nothing and went the other way.  What am I doing wrong?

texts: Which NPC in WoW will try to kill you and which will not?

texts:
Which  NPC in WoW are safe to pass nearby?

Playing for Horde I was accidentally killed many time by Alliance NPC, when I happen to come near Alliance city. Usually it is immediate death, so I started to be afraid of NPC, which have "red" name and has a skull instead of level.
But then during quests I noted NPCs, which are also red and skulled, but they didn't touched me. Last one I met right in a neutral city - Dalaran, it was near a guy, which gave me a quest, so I must come close to this skull.. and it didn't touched me.

So is there a reliable way to understand when NPC will kill you and when they will ignore you?

P.S. I add a sample picture of red mob, which doesn't attack from a beach of Isle of Giants (NPC named Beeble Sockwrench) (this is not city area):

8 Damage on Uber Ethereal.
4 Damage on Stim'ed assault soldier with 150+ willpower  (I sent her in for the kill!)

Whenever I try to launch Geometry Dash through Steam or through the executable file itself, the game fails to run, and no window appears. It had run fine for a while, and one day it simply wouldn't start anymore. Reinstalling the game and restarting Steam/my computer doesn't help anything.  Upon checking Event Viewer it shows this error in Windows Logs:

texts: Do the conditions for each bomb module change with every new revision of the manual?

texts:
Having played quite a few of the levels in Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, there's always that small feeling of excessive repetition with easier modules such as simple wires, buttons and the like. Even if I'm not looking at the manual, I can also easily remember things like some possible combinations of complicated wires and whether or to cut them.

Due to this, I've been increasingly curious about the manual. If a new one is ever to be released, I can imagine that it would most likely be to add something completely new to the game. But what about the other modules? Do the existing modules change in terms of the instructions and criteria to defuse them?

Do these change with every revision of the manual?


texts: MyBoy! GBA stops/freezes when I load games?

texts:
The MyBoy! emulator sometimes stops working for no reason. Most of the time I ignore this, and just load my game, but this time I was playing Pokemon Emerald on the emulator, I was at the Battle Factory and I saved right before the emulator stopped working.

I loaded the save file, and when I did, it just stopped working again. I just thought "whatever", and loaded it again. But the same thing happened!

I did this a couple more times, and decided to see if it would freeze if I didn't load it at all. I waited for about 5 minutes (That's a lot more time than it usually takes to stop working) and it didn't stop.

I loaded it again, and noticed that it stops when the guy says "Before we resume your challenge, I must save the game.", so I waited on the text before that one, and to my surprise, it didn't stop. I loaded one of my emulator save states and waited. It didn't stop.

How do I fix this annoying issue?


texts:
In Mass Effect 3's multiplayer, you can equipment bonuses for your character in the equipment screen:

My question is, if I equip two bonuses that effect the same stat, will they both stack with each other, or will I only get the benefit of whichever one provides the greater effect?

For example, in my above screenshot, I have

Power Efficiency II in my armor slot, which increases my power recharge rate by 20%.
Structural Ergonomics I in my gear slot, which increases my power recharge rate by 5%.

With both of these equipped, will my power recharge rate now be 20% + 5% = 25% faster, or will only the 20% increase from Power Efficiency II apply?


texts: Custom Advancements and Functions 1.13.2

texts:
I'm setting up a new server, and would like to have some custom Advancements.

I was thinking of using these as a way to start new players out with some basics...as they go through the spawn room, they would trigger Advancements that would run Functions to give them some items:

wooden axe
wooden pick
wooden sword
white bed
some food
leather armor...

Nothing ground shaking, but should allow for a slightly easier start.

I tried using the Advancements Generator here and using location ranges as the criteria, but they don't seem to be working.

Now I'm trying to use command blocks and pressure plates...but I can't get the correct commands to either grant the Advancement to the player stepping on the pressure plate...or the Function to gift the items to the player stepping on the pressure plate.

I've tried using the @p selector but that isn't working... give @p item amount

Have also tried execute as @s run give @p... but that isn't working either.

Do I have to somehow anchor the command to a location?  I would have thought that the command block's location would be used by default...maybe it isn't though,

Thanks

Update:

If I run axe.mcfunction which has give @s wooden_axe 1...it works from chat

However, some of the functions aren't being recognized, and that is obviously the issue...like

give @s leatherhelmet 1 28 {display:{color:1476153,Name:Newb},ench:[{id:0,lvl:1},{id:3,lvl:1},{id:4,lvl:1}]}

...even when run in chat returns an error of Error: Player not found.  It only works when I type in the actual username...no variables are working...@s, @p, @a won't work...

Update 2

After playing around some more...

/give @s leatherhelmet 1 28 {display: {Name: "Newb", color: 1476153}}

works with the playername...every time...still doesn't work with the variable.

Update 3

I now have the Advancements being granted correctly...and most of the functions to give items...the only one that isn't working is the one to give colored armor...

I got the command blocks to give the items by using execute as @p run function ... and the functions use give @p item count

texts: How does whether a Pokemon is powered up before matter to find out its IV?

texts:
When checking for a Pokemon's IV, there is a selection: is the Pokemon powered up before?

Why and how does it matter?

Is it true that because if we never powered it before, then the Pokemon can only be at level that is "not half level"?  That is, it can be only level 20, 21, 22, and so forth, and cannot be level 20.5?

So in that case, if in doubt, we can choose "it is powered before", because if we power it ourselves, then the level can be 20, 20.5, or anything, and therefore, be able to match for all possible results. Is that true?


texts: What is so dangerous about Wormhole affix?

texts:
In Diablo 3, there is an affix called "Wormhole" that causes you to be moved from one side of a pink circle to another after a second or two of delay.

This seems to be by far the most benign monster affix!  Who cares if you get shifted from one spot to another?  More often than not, it actually takes me out of a dangerous floor covered in fire or acid.  Am I missing some hidden danger here?  Are there some classes and playstyles that are actually threatened by this affix?

See this for reference.

I was eventually able to get my coordinates by using /execute rappatic (rappatic is my username) and hitting TAB thrice, which showed my current position, but there must be an easier way to do it.
Why are my coordinates not shown on my debug screen?


texts: How can you reach your labyrinth while in the Bloom?

texts:
Is there any way to reliably reach your labyrinth in this part of the game (i.e. like the mirror or Tranquility in Sagus Cliffs)? I've explored all the areas I can currently access (courtyard, interior and the three slums) and have several quests I need to finish in my labyrinth, but I can't find an easy way to reach it while in the Bloom.

Minor spoiler:

   I already defeated Waits-for-prey, so this is not an option.


texts: Can you find a replay that defends against a well executed proxy rush on Blistering Sands?

texts:
See this related question. Can you find/post a replay of a well executed proxy rush that is successfully defended against? (Not a counter-rush that succeeds, that requires pre-comitting to a rush. I mean a more durable strategy that successfully scouts and defends against this kind of rush).

Note the specific location I prefer for the proxy setup is around the gold that is near the opponents base, outside of usual scouting area and watch tower.

Edit - sorry, I wasn't specific enough. I marked my favorite spot for proxying on this map - this is a rarely scouted place. Also, recently I usually don't send a probe right on the start, but rather build my 2nd pylon there, then warp 3 gateways.

texts: Do stacked boxes get stored in the workbench?

texts:
I've noticed in Fallout 4 while building settlements sometimes you will encounter stacked boxes. Often when you decide to scrap the bottommost box in the stack, all of the boxes stacked above it will disappear.

I'm wondering if these boxes which automatically disappear get stored in the workbench automatically, or if they disappear entirely? When I'm scrapping boxes and want to get all of the resources, do I need to scrap each box individually, or can I save time by just scrapping the box at the bottom of the stack?


texts: Will D.Va's ultimate damage players on her team?

I've noticed while playing D.Va that her ultimate can kill her and that it can kill members of the other team, but I'm not sure what the situation is with members on her team.

I've often noticed that everyone just runs away, sometimes an enemy Reinhardt will put a shield up to protect himself and manages to survive.

I want to know this, because when using the ultimate I would prefer to use it in such a way that people on my team will survive, I've tried a few times to check if they died, but I've not been able to put my finger on it.

Will D.Va's ultimate damage members of her own team?


texts: moving minecart once hopper has items, and then becomes empty

texts:
Here's a rough outline of what I want

Empty cart stays still under an empty hopper

Hopper gets x items in it, the cart stays still

Once the hopper has emptied all its items into the cart, the cart runs backwards and forwards along the track, putting its items into hoppers below it, once the hopper is empty, it stops again underneath the empty hopper

Is something like this currently possible? I have it at the moment that the cart always moves, except when the hopper has items, which works, but when the cart is empty the noise annoys me and the other people in the area.

I tried putting a detector rail underneath the hopper so I could tell when the cart is there, but that then powers the hopper so its items don't drop into the cart.

texts: Diablo 3 Hardcore Character just died during a 10+ second lag spike, will I be able to get him back?

texts:
Question really says it all.

I was doing fine for about an hour. Beat Act I on normal, killed the Butcher by myself, then started Act II.

Just as I entered the desert with the Enchantress I hit a lag spike which lasted about 10+ seconds where I saw two enemies on the screen and I knew this was not good. So I quickly alt-F4'd only to come back and find my character dead and unable to play.

I know Blizzard is strict about Hardcore characters, but is there really no compensation for death due to lag? What if it were the Battle.net servers that caused the lag spike?

texts: What's the difference between semaphore and electric signals?

texts:
In OpenTTD you can use electric signals and semaphore signals. In every instance I've ever seen people use electric signals to direct their trains. On the wiki the only mention of semaphores is "don't hold down control otherwise you'll end up with a semaphore". This suggests to me that semaphores are unwanted and have a different function to normal signals that is only applicable in complex circumstances. I couldn't find anything on the internet detailing their function.

What is the functional difference between semaphore and electric signals?


texts: Why aren't more people coming to settle in Sanctuary Hills?

texts:
Its my personal experience that Sanctuary Hills may have a settlement problem. I made a second game after my first finished, with only the original 5 NPC's. A notion which baffled me when other, under-furnished comparatively settlements ended with settler numbers in the low twenties.

After Putting Food, Water, and Power all above 75 with a whopping 300 in defense Using God Mode of course for the sake of testing and a full play-through later, No one ever came to settle in my Sanctuary Hills. In fact, NPC's like the recovering Alcoholic, now  Cola-fiend from Diamond City, that I directly sent there, would disappear after the first in game week of being an established shop runner or farmer. This particular problem happened in the original play-through as well.

Keep in mind, the original play-through began and ended in the first week (Beginning, at Hour one of game release) of the games release, and the Test play-through within the next 2-3 weeks after. So patches may or may not have occurred within that time frame that could of affected the test, but in my case, did not.

Additional Unnecessary to ask questions are answered with, Yes, I kept my Defense score 3x's higher than my resources combined.

Yes, I put a Satellite beacon in EVERY settlement I controlled, Including Sanctuary Hills. (Though not immediately on the original Play-through.)

Yes, the first play-through was almost entirely unmodded. (Save for texture replacers.) The following were not.

Yes, I updated whenever possible. GEForce Drivers included.


texts:
Marie, the final boss in Skullgirls, has a lot moves that are either very tricky to dodge or do insane damage (often both). Since she barely moves I can hurt her even by button mashing, but dodging her attacks is the tricky part.

There's certain moves like the big circular shadow on the floor (dash left/right) and the snake of skulls along the floor (jump over) I can dodge, but certain moves like the "assists" coming from behind/in front of you that I can't seem to dodge or block. Her explosion (like when turning into her final form) is another tricky one to dodge, attacking in melee it seems I can't get out of the way once I've triggered it.

How can I dodge Marie's attacks, at least the trickiest ones?

texts: How to make a custom smelting recipe like the sponge smelting that fills water buckets in 1.13

texts:
When you smelt sponge, if there is a bucket in the fuel slot for the furnace, it will fill it with water. How can you do this with a custom smelting recipe?

Looking at the recipe file for sponge, it doesn't say anything about this

  "ingredient": {
    "item": "minecraft:wet_sponge"
  },
  "result": "minecraft:sponge",

texts: How does Wild Card: Side Bets really work? (Spoiler)

texts:
This is my first playthrough and I think I have done things backwards compared to what the designers intended. I scoured all of the wasteland and did all the DLC before I even set foot in New Vegas. Now I feel slightly confused, especially from the Wild Card quests or more specifically - Wild Card: Side Bets.

I suspect that all my actions towards the factions before I arrived at New Vegas already has determined the outcome because the only thing I could say to the Yes Man was that I ignored any faction he mentioned, whether I was idolized or vilified with them. Now I have really no idea what that means or what other options I could have.

My affiliation is roughly on the good (or less evil) side (BoS, NCR, Boomers etc) and I have tried to pretty much wipe out anything gang-related (Vipers, Khans, Powder Gangers etc). I'm also currently neutral to The Legion.

Could someone explain what this quest is supposed to do?

texts:
Over a number of games, I've never had anything worse than goblins attack the surface entrance to my fort.  These are easily dealt with by a few doors and long lines of traps.  I almost feel sorry for them.

However, I have had rather more...Fun creatures attack from below - specifically Forgotten Beasts from the caverns.  Since these guys are building destroyers, my measly stone doors barely slowed them down.

How can I build a defense that will keep monsters this powerful at bay, or better yet, destroy (capture?) them outright?  Are there different tactics available at a cavern entrance vs. a surface entrance?

I prefer constructed defenses over armies, but I realize that for some beasties, the only answer may be a platoon of well-equipped veterans.

texts: PS4 Pro - Fan goes extremely loud, but air is not hot - I've tried everything

texts:
I've got a PS4 Pro (launch model) and during certain moments the fan goes berserk. It turn on to the max speed and makes a high pitch noise.
Most of the times this happens during Cod Modern Warefare in the match making menu. Here it goes loudest. During gameplay it turns down a fraction. But still unreasonably loud.
Things I've tried

Cleaned the internals
Cleaned the heatsink with air
Cleaned the fan
Cleaned the processor
Applied new artic silver cooling paste to the processor.
Applied new artic thermal pads (the blue one)
Ran a DB initialization

Things I've noticed

When I took it apart it had barely any dust in it to start with. No build up in the fan and heat sink whatsoever.
The original thermal paste was still moist/not dry

Thoughts

I've read something about uncapped fps in menu's? Is there a way for a user to cap?
Would disabling pro boost help?
Would a clean install help?
In retrospective, would sending it to Sony have been a better solution? :)
Isn't this a softeware issue? Since the Fan changes speed rapidly. If a component is hot, wouldn't it take time to cool down? So the fan would keep in cooling it after the load stops, to gradually cool it down. And not end abrubt.
I haven't tried this with other games. But I did recall it used to be better a few months ago.
puts on silverfoil hat Is Sony bullying me to wards a PS5? :)
Are there newer Pro versions that don't have this issue?

Do you guys have any insights or tips on this matter? I'm getting pretty desperate. I don't want to sell this unit just for it to become someone else it's problem.
I would hope for a solution. I'm about to be kicked to the basements by my GF with the PS4. Since you hear it all across the house and it's WAY louder than a conversatdion.
--EDIT--

Made a clean OS install. With install from usb. Redownloaded just COD MW and still the same issue.

texts: What is the most efficient way to achieve "End Game" in Secret of the Magic Crystals?

texts:
In "Secret of the Magic Crystals", the hardest achievement (0.7% completed) is called "End Game" and is described by the following sentence:

  By the power of the Magic Crystals I was able to bring this Story to a Happy Ending!

After some research on the Internet, I understand this achievement consists in breeding five different level 5 magical horses for the quest to uncover the secret of the magic crystals, one of each type:

  Unicorn: The grace and beauty of this horse is one of a kind.
  Pegasus: The Ancestors of this Colt were unique racehorses.
  Fire Steed: This colts ancestors were fearless and wild by nature.
  Ice Steed: Mountain People Bred this kind of muscular horse.
  Demon Steed: People of forgotten civilizations passed on the secrets
  of breeding this type of horse.

However, the stable contains only six different slots. And to get a level 5 horse, I need two level 4 horses and one empty slot, which would suggest I need to sell the level 5 horses, based on the pigeonhole principle.

So what is the most efficient way to achieve "End Game" in Secret of the Magic Crystals?

texts: Minecraft | Selecting the oldest target / one with the least score

texts:
On reddit, I saw this and decided to try and recreate it. It mostly went well, except there are still some issues with the selectors.

Right now, I am spawning armor stands relative to the player's location to save the player's position and adding 1 to their timeSaveTBT score every redstone tick. To make it so the player gets teleported back three seconds in time specifically, the armor stands are killed once the score reaches 30. When the player right clicks a fishing rod, the armor stands stop spawning and the player gets teleported to @e[type=armor_stand,name=tracker,c=1] (the c=1 is the important part).

The c=1 works in certain situations, but it doesn't work all the time. I need a relible way to select either the oldest armor stand with the name ptracker or the armor stand with the smallest timeSaveTBT score.

I've been running around Sector B killing monsters and ape-men alike, but when I use the Brain Extractor on them, I just keep getting Inferior Brains.

I am playing Mass Effect again but there doesn't appear to be an option to enable a borderless window mode in either the game or the configuration utility, leaving the game running inside of a visible window.

texts: Can I transfer Kerbonauts from a capsule to Hitchhiker Storage Container without taking an EVA?

texts:
I've been constructing a space station, and up to this point, I've been using autonomous launch vehicles to put unmanned sections into orbit.  But now it's time to have a permanent presence in orbit.

I've just docked my first crew transfer vehicle to the station hub, and now I want to transfer the crew to one of the Hitchhiker pods, but they don't want to seem to go through the docking ports I conveniently placed.

How can I move them onto the station without taking them on an EVA?
