The mission objective at the start of the chapter, when I get up at Joe's apartment, is to "meet Joe at Freddy's with a gun and lockpicks".

I have the guns, my ammo is full, I have the lockpicks. However, the cutscene just doesn't load ANYWHERE inside Freddy's. I Googled it, it seems to be normal, and start immediately when we enter Freddys. I can also see Joe and the other man sitting in Freddy's. I walk up to them. Nothing happens.

Is this a bug?

texts: are there any drawbacks to keeping Synthetics enslaved?

texts:
So I've finally have Synthetics and my own civilization is heading towards the Synthetic Evolution *. As a materialistic empire I could give regular AI citizen rights. But why should I bother?

Yes, there is a risk of AI rebellion, but IMO it is less dangerous than something like the Scourge invasion, and the effects of Slave Processing Plant and Share the Burden edicts can greatly increase their production output, that otherwise I'd have to control by managing egalitarian faction happiness. So it seems that keeping them as slaves is MUCH better solution, or am I missing something?

In other words, is it better to keep AI as slaves or give them "human" rights (assuming that I am not worried about the rebellion).

* which, with the recent patch invalidates the question - once you upload your brain into synthetic body, pre-existing Synthetics join your population on equal rights

texts: When a nymph is killed, can items stolen by her just disappear?

texts: My caveman had a cursed "tattered cape" (I'm sure it was MR, found in wizard bones pile) stolen by a water nymph in the final room of Sokoban.  I had to back out because I was in the broken doorway, an being triple-teamed. I left a large dog inside that had cleared most of the room (I'm guessing it killed the nymph since she couldn't teleport and was nowhere to be found) by the time I got back in. When the room was completely cleared, I couldn't find the cape.  I moved my pets downstairs, and searched the entire level to no avail. As noted, it was cursed so I'm pretty sure my pets aren't carrying it.  So, after checking the wiki about nymphs and death drops, and learning nothing new, I'm wondering if it just disappeared when the nymph died. Any info would be helpful. Also, I didn't find a potion of OD, nor a mirror.

texts: KSP: why does TrackIR crash the first time, run the second time?

texts:
I start TrackIR 4.0 software, to control a TrackIR 5 camera (KSP doesn't support TrackIR 5 software yet).  Then I start KSP and load a game.  When the spaceport appears, headtracking is inoperative nine times out of ten.  When I alt-tab to TrackIR, it has crashed (grayed-out windows, "TrackIR.exe has stopped working... details... APPCRASH in Stackhash_0a9e") .  So I quit KSP, restart TrackIR, restart KSP, and then all is well (nine times out of nine).

How can I make TrackIR work the first time?
(Should I buy a pre-5 camera from someone on ebay?)

KSP 1.0.  Clean optical environment: other than teensy dots from eyeglasses reflection, the camera isn't confused about which blobs are the tracking markers.  The TrackIR camera driver is 2.50.0.0, which is up to date.

Edit: TrackIR loosely falls under the topic "game-specific hardware."  Certainly it is marketed and used primarily as a game controller, even if it isn't specific to KSP.  So if this question is re-opened, I'll answer it as: either update the source code of KerbTrack, or buy a pre-5 TrackIR camera.

texts: Should I force my kittens to do the same job forever?

texts:
A follow up from this question: how much bonus resources are being gathered (approximately) for each level? I have seen dabbling (the starter level) and novice (the second), but I am not quite sure how to calculate the increase between these levels.

Then, if this a certain amount, is it worth it to keep my kittens at the same job? Currently I switch in the winter to a ~-2 catnip but that requires a lot of farmer kittens. In spring I refill catnip again, and when the stock is sufficiently large, I switch most of the kittens back to miner/scholar/whatever. Is it better to keep just 2/3 (or more, depending on several factors) farmer kittens the whole year through instead of my current approach?

(If it is needed, I currently have 11 kittens, and busy buying the workshop upgrades. No scholar upgrades can be bought right now (Science needed is much larger then my maximum science))

I've had it about 4 times now, and every time it's only been 200 extra points.

What are these additional points awarded for?

texts:
Today in Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy, I decided to take my chances on a set of music with which I was on familiar.

Things were going well. I managed to score an S on the first two songs (EMS and FMS). This got me 300 EXP on one, and 700ish on the second. Upon completion of those two, I went on to do the Battle round. After only scoring an A on this one, I was amazed to see that I got a whopping 2500 EXP! This was enough to level my (fairly low level) party up three times a piece! I have no idea how I got 2500 EXP, so:

How does this game determine just how much EXP you're getting?

The description of the Platinum trophy for each PS3 game can vary (as with any trophy description).

texts:
I just went out of the Helgen Dungeons after siding with Ralof. I picked the warrior stone, which can increase my weapon and armor skills faster than normally.

I went to Riverwood. Since I was sprinting so much and Ralof hasn't even arrived yet, I tried to wait but then it says: you can't wait when enemies are nearby. I tried looking for enemies around. I had already killed those wolves before we arrived at Riverwood and I killed a bandit at the entrance of a mine. I still can't wait.

As I went back to Riverwood to Gerdur, she started to say, "Who's there? When she saw me, she started to attack me. I tried to yield, but she was still attacking. I have no bounty, so the other NPCs in town were attacking Gerdur including Ralof. She went on her knees a few times and then she fled and she was gone.

I waited in the inn and Gerdur was finally back, but she was still hostile. How can I fix this? I need to continue the quest. This question doesn't work for me.

I'm playing on Xbox 360, so console commands aren't an option.

On the moon of Pavalon, I picked up some sort of Reaper-esque weapon that had only 1 shot during the mission's final fight.  Not wanting to use the shot immediately, I swapped weapons (PC version, using scroll wheel) to my pistol.  However, when I halted the game to change weapons, I could not select my assault rifle (which I had equipped when I picked up this weapon) nor could I find this special Reaper-type weapon.

Finishing the mission seemed to have given me my rifle back, but obviously I lost the shot of this gun and the use of my rifle (I'm a Soldier so imagine the fun I had trying to kill Brutes with a Pistol and Sniper rifle)

texts: Do Mystery Blocks that turn into Ice Blocks immediately cause you to slide?

texts:
tl;dr: If I step on a Mystery Block that reveals itself as an Ice Block, does it count my initial stepping on the block as stepping on a normal block or as an Ice Block?

While attempting the Obelisk Tower of Babel, I eventually come across Mystery Blocks, which can turn into any type of block once you step on them. Naturally, they can turn into Ice Blocks, which cause you to slide until either hitting a non-Ice Block, hitting a wall, or sliding straight off the edge (you don't catch yourself on the edge of an Ice Block you slide off of).

However, a few times now, I've had a Mystery Block placed at the end of a row of blocks, run towards it with the intent of jumping off once it reveals itself, but instead sliding straight off the edge to my death once it reveals itself as an Ice Block. It doesn't happen often (luckily), but it's certainly frustrating as it doesn't really seem fair, since I had no way of knowing what type of block it would be.

That said, I'm unsure whether this occurs simply due to the Mystery Block being an Ice Block or if the registered a second input after stepping on the Ice Block. Is the Ice Block slide being determined when I step on the Mystery Block before I know it's an Ice Block (meaning I should have dropped down and hung to reveal the block type) or is a second input required to make me slide on an Ice Block? For a regular Ice Block, stepping onto it will cause you to slide. Is that how it works when the Ice Block was a Mystery Block when it was stepped on as well?


texts: How does auction house commerce work on commodities?

texts:
When you post a commodity such as a Radiant Ruby, you get to choose how many you'll be putting up for auction (direct buy really) and your asking price.

You are also presented with a sales average of how much people spent on that particular item yesterday.

When you attempt to buy a commodity, you just get a fixed price, not all the different offers.

So I'm left wondering about many things about the auction house, like:

How does the auction house choose which player it "buys from" for each purchase.
How is the asking price compensated (or inflated) related to the price the buyer actually pays.
If the posted item's asking price is greater than what the buyer pays for it, does the AH put up the rest of the payment?
Am I still going to get buyers if I place an item with a very high (or very low?) asking price?

The one time I sold any commodity on the AH it was tooth/essense from normal difficulty which I no longer had a need for, and they sold almost instantly, so I wondered what would've happened if I asked for more gold, for instance.

The AH is so simplified in this capacity that it confuses me about what the inner workings are.


texts: What problem do my settlers have with beds?

texts:
While I was browsing my shops in Sanctuary, I heard one of my settlers mention a "bed problem". When I asked my barman if there was any problem around the settlement, he also talked about the "bed problem", and how it "puts everyone on edge".

I have currently 12 settlers and 17 beds in Sanctuary, so it's not like they have to share a bed or something, yet they still don't seem very happy with their beds.

Could it be because I have multiple beds in the same house, or multiple beds in the same room? Do they not like sharing a room with their fellow settlers?

The last state was all tiles one piece below except for the lower 2 which didn't exist. There was only one moved allowed: upwards, which created an empty row at the bottom into which a 2 spawned.

In this situation, I usually don't las any much longer, because going down again disrupts everything. What is the best way to continue?

I know different algorithms, but most of them are for machines. And the "monotonicity-smoothness-free tiles" approach doesn't work here.


texts: Can't scroll through items in the item battle menu

texts: Why am I not able to scroll through the items when I pull up the item menu during battle? As you can see in my screenshot, I can only select from these 6 items. I have tried to use the "S" key to scroll down and by clicking on the white down arrow. I also seem to have the same problem in one of the menus, I believe it's in the Facebook messages menu.


texts:
So I've been playing the Sideway demo and I got 4 out of the 5 secrets. There's a certain platform I can't reach, and nearby there's a special platform which I can't stand on, but glows when I jump over it. Here's a screenshot in which I added an arrow indicating the unreachable platform and a circle around the glowing platform (since Nox is currently "over" it, you can see a faint purple glow there, otherwise it doesn't appear):

(I've also added a "graffiti" tag of my own, just to stay loyal to the overall feel of the game)

What is the meaning of this glow? Is there any way in which I can activate this platform? Alternatively, is there any other way to reach that unreachable platform on the left?

texts: I think I got a counterfeit Xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver from eBay.  Can I make it work?

texts:
I bought a XBox 360 wireless gaming receiver on eBay so that I can use my wireless controllers on my PC.

I got it from an Asian distributor on eBay. The device itself as well as the whole packaging looks pretty authentic though the official Microsoft logo can't be seen, so I suspect that it is some replica.

When I plug it in, Windows 7 complains it can't detect the device. Also, when I point it to the drivers that came with it, it says it can't install them.

Is there anyway I can still get this thing to work?

texts: Is Diddy Kong outclassed compared to other monkeys?

texts:
Like in the last game, Diddy can use his Barrel Jet to hover temporarily. The problem is that this seems rather pedestrian compared to Dixie, who can actually gain height and so outranges him both vertically and horizontally. Even underwater, Diddy's linear jet boost seems harder to use effectively than Dixie's consistent speed increase. And while his Kong Pow turns enemies into Red Balloons, after the first world I found myself having more then 90 lives all the time (the max being 99), and Dixie's Golden Hearts are much better for actually staying alive in the first place.

Does Diddy have any redeeming qualities whatsoever? Or is he just straight outclassed?

texts: How to predict & control ghost movement in Pac-Man

texts:
Billy Mitchell was the first person to achieve a perfect score in the arcade game Pac-Man.

Back in 2008, there was an article published entitled "The Perfect Man - How Billy Mitchell became a video-game superstar and achieved Pac-Man bliss" by David Ramsey.

When questioned about the use of hiding spots in Pac-Man, Mitchell replied:

  "You don't use the hiding spots. Someone doesn't use them. I use them. I could show you how, but you wouldn't be able to do it."

The article continued:

  While a crappy video-game player can improve, Mitchell's level of arcade mastery, he is convinced, cannot be taught.

I am interested in some clearly written instruction on predicting/controlling ghost movement, and using the hiding spots in Pac-Man.

Now, I've read the whole article, and watched many videos of Mitchell playing video games. They are fun and interesting to watch, but they don't really teach or educate. (It does no good to say "Just do what I'm doing" ... there needs to be explanation and instruction. I can watch what you're doing, but have no idea how you're doing it!)

For most of us, trained ability will not even come close to the level of his natural aptitude. However, I still believe that even crappy players can learn some (though maybe not all) of the "impossible" tricks with a bit of help and practice.


texts: How does retrieving the Poke balls actually work?

texts: So, when you throw a ball and you miss, the ball rolls around. You can click on it to get it back and not waste 20 balls on a Pidgey. Well, this works sometimes, and the ball is just laying there, behind the pokemon, but most of the time, the ball disappears almost immediately without me clicking on the screen or anything and its not back in my inventory ? SO what's going on, am I retrieving my balls wrongly or are they disappearing by design ?

I'd like to be able to capture video of me playing games on my Wii, especially when getting past tricky levels so I can share my techniques/tricks with others. Obviously, I could just point a camera at the screen, but the quality of the capture is extremely poor and would take up physical space in the area where I normally sit to play.

What's the best way to capture that so I can post it to YouTube, Vimeo, etc?  Can I use Mac OS X?  Windows?  what hardware do I need?  Software?


texts: I've gotten access to Donovan's room. Now what?

texts: Paulo's clue at the moment is for Gwen to gain access to Donovan's room. Having done so, I've had her examine the object on his dresser, his bed, two piles of surveillance equipment, his computer, and the boxes in the corner, but while it's all very puzzling, looking around isn't accomplishing anything—I'd guess I need to access the computer, but nobody I've tried can make any headway. I brought Sue in, since she knows what the item on the dresser is, but while she comments on it, she won't take it. What am I overlooking?


texts: What are the statistics and mechanics behind the Spawning of Presents from the 2014 X-Mas Trees?

texts:
Apparently the 2014 X-mas trees in Clash of Clans spawn presents. The trees give you 50k  gold surplus when removed and are able to spawn presents which in turn are worth 5k Elixir. Also, a friend of mine just told me that he got 25 Gems from the tree.

What I did not find when searching for it is how the spawning of presents works in detail. The only data I found was that a tree can only have 5 presents around it at a given time. This is mentioned in an answer to the question "Is there any benefit to removing the X-Mas tree from my land?" but wrong. I raided a base which had three trees with two times seven and once six present around them.

Does each tree have its own spawn chance?

Is there a total limit of how many presents any given tree can spawn in total?

The delay of the circuit is a fully delayed repeater plus another repeater without extra delay (5 ticks?)


texts: Who/What is "Concerned Citizen" in The Witcher 3?

texts:
In Novigrad I keep finding sheets of paper with messsages involving the "Eternal Fire" and Novigrad's church. They seem to be written by someone who is against Magic, Witches, Mages and anything involving the Conjunction (pretty much like the talk you usually skip when starting the game).

I remember I once found a corpse in a road and Geralt said: "It wasn't Nathaniel. S••t"

   Nathaniel is Vegelbud's murderer that Geralt managed to track down and kill. Along with the corpse, another of those messages.

All of them are signed by a certain "- Concerned Citizen" and are named "Concerned Citizen Sermon" when in the Inventory. Apparently, they are even resellable!

Now, who is this guy? Does he appear in the game or he's just a kind of Easter Egg?

texts:
I've been playing as Ranger and love my bow. But I'm having a very hard time because I'm always running out of arrows. I went through the first level of my quest to visit the leader, but can't progress further due to level - I only got 60 or so arrows on that level, another question's answer mentioned "hundreds".

When I was playing, whenever I ran out of arrows, I'd switch to melee, and this isn't always a good idea with strong-melee monsters. Because I was stubborn, I never picked up any other projectiles, and reading now, I realize I could have been keeping darts, daggers, or crossbow bolts.

How can I avoid running out of arrows?

As soon as I was able to leave the Sacred Grounds, I stopped doing the main quest and began exploring.

When I attempted to go to the second Tallneck, however, I ran into the Daytower and I was told that the gates would remain sealed until all corrupted zones in the valley had been cleared. After that, I went and cleared every corrupted zone I could find and explored every part of the map that I could, until there didn't seem to be any more corrupted zones.

However, the Carja guards still refuse to let me pass, despite having cleared all corrupted zones on the accessible area of the map. How do I get through the gates?

texts: How does the lucky attribute affect IVs during trading?

texts:
I started playing at launch but dropped off for a while as new features were rolling out. As such, I have a bunch of 2016 Pokémon but no lucky Pokémon, until I did my first trade recently.  Based on how I understand trading these old Pokémon should work, I have a reasonable expectation of getting some lucky Pokémon back as well.

But what I don't completely understand is how a Pokémon being lucky affects their new IV values. Are the new values generated based on a higher stat floor? Do the current IVs prior to the trade and turning lucky play a role? Could a Pokémon with high IVs actually have lower IVs after turning lucky? I essentially just need to understand this system better so I can better target what Pokémon I want in return during trades. What's the current understanding for stat rerolls when a Pokémon being traded turns lucky?

Currently, all the posts I've seen are about specifically de-leveling skills, however, in my case, I want to delevel my actual character, along with the total experience accrued.

Any commands or mods to change this?

texts:
On a piloted ship, damaging (orange color, not red) the piloting section of a ship cancels the ship's ability to dodge without a pilot (or reduces it, if it was level 3 piloting) but makes less of a difference if it is manned.  The difference that remains is the pilot is forced to repair instead of granting their personal +5, +7 or +10 dodge bonus.

However, automated ships have no crew to begin with, and yet are clearly able to dodge even when they only have level 1 piloting.  My question is, can anyone verify whether damaging (or making orange) a level 2 piloting system on an automated ship has any impact on the ship's ability to dodge?

I would like to think that it does, but without examining source code, reading developer discussion, or producing a large body of statistical evidence, I simply don't know for sure.

This answer should be the same for advanced edition or the base game, even though the pilot-less piloting values are different (because we are dealing with the special case of automated ships.)

texts: Does orbital rendezvous require six degrees of freedom?

texts:
I'm trying to accomplish my first orbital rendezvous by following the Gemini 6A and 7 mission tutorial on the KSP Wiki.

I've gotten the orbiters on about the same orbital plane, and orbiting at about the same speed. They're down to thrusters only and there's less than 50m between them. However, I still can't seem to get them perfectly lined up for mating. The problem is that, no matter how hard I try to keep them pointed at each other, the target orbiter is always aimed just a bit off from the one I'm controlling as I get close. Sometimes, the alignment is close enough that they'll bump into each other but the docking ports won't connect - other times they completely miss each other by a few meters.

What is most complicated about the whole thing is that there seems to be no way for me to "strafe" the orbiters.

The movement options (considering the orbiter's nose "forward") are:

Thrust forward/backward
Roll clockwise/counter-clockwise
Yaw left/right
Pitch up/down

The critical pieces I'm missing here are:

Thrust up/down
Thrust left/right

To compensate for these missing controls, I have to point the orbiter in the left/right or up/down positions and use the forward/backward thrusters to effect the desired adjustments. However, by the time I get pointed back at the target and start closing in again, I quickly find that tiny discrepancies in my adjustments are putting me off on the wrong trajectory again. Without having a full six degrees of freedom, which would allow me to more quickly correct for these errors, I'm having a hard time seeing how orbital rendezvous is possible.

Are there controls I'm missing that would facilitate the sort of movements I need? Or, are there other techniques I need to learn to compensate for the lack of those controls?

No mod suggestions please.

It was a very long match and the enemy commander used EMP UAV's in other places, so it wasn't that.

texts: Which companions play a substantive role in the Legacy DLC?

texts:
Dragon Age II: Legacy allows you to choose whomever you want for your party makeup, but there seems to be a few choices that provide more flavor than others.

For example, Varric has a ton of cutscene dialogue (at least early on) and one of the achievements/trophies for the DLC requires Bethany/Carver to be in your party when you complete all the quests.

On the other hand, Merrill doesn't seem to have any cutscene dialogue (again, at least early on), and just acts as a bit player, not even acknowledging a prior relationship.

Do any of the other companions play more of a role in the DLC? Or are the only two important characters per se Varric and Bethany/Carver?

In Diablo,there are different kind of spells.Primary spells seem to be all spells that are per standard bound to left click.However there is another categorie I am not sure of what it does actually mean:(Hatred) Spenders and (hatred) generators.

I want to ask my question by using an example:

Let's say I have equipped the legendary Quiver Spines of Seething Hatred and I've got the full Marauders Set.Would my Sentries still shoot Chakrams(because they don't spend any hatred now)?Would Chakram be affected by items that increase the damage of Ressource generators(like the new Marauders 2 Setbonus*)?

  Now increases the damage of your Hatred generators by 40% for every Sentry you have active"

Is there any way to get my stuff back from him without resorting to pickpocketing (which I tried, but even though it's my things he thinks I'm stealing from him). I am also not very good at it so I can't easily get away with it, and even if I did I wonder if they would now appear as stolen goods.

texts:
So after resetting my run and updating to 1.4.5.1.c (current is .f), I found a new feature in my village tab. It consisted of a map, with fields, available to be explored.
I checked the wiki, and there doesn't seem to be anything on it yet.

Exploring a field would add a small percentage to the three values shown in the screenshot below ('Explored', 'Exploration bonus', and most notably 'Price reduction'), in exchange for a small, but long-lasting decrease in catpower production. Exploring a field would also make re-exploring it more expensive, and would sometimes enlarge the map.

Here is a screenshot of the map (from my save):

The price of exploring increases exponentially the more the field is explored, and the further away it is. So after time, the total number of explored fields will slowly level out.

Given a reasonably high number of explorations, let's say, 500, one would still only have a ~0.12% price reduction – if there aren't diminishing returns. Which is quite low, given the millions of cp and many hours it would take to get there.

So the question is, does the map feature give any other benefit then a slight price reduction (which would only help buy a few buildings late-game)? And as a side question, what triggers the map to appear?

Valencia still doesn't show up as an annexation option when I sue for peace.

texts:
There are some actions in Dark Souls 2 that give you what players refer to as "iFrames" or "Invincibility Frames". The most common contributor of this is rolling, which can be increased by levelling up your agility/adaptability.

Is there anything else that has "iFrames" in their animation? For example, using a lifegem?

texts: How do I hack the amount of kills, items, and room code just to get to the Sans fight?

texts:
I know that there is a counter for the amount of kills on the stats menu. I know how to open "file0" to hack my location and items. All I need to know is where in "file0" is the kill counter to change a property to (insert amount of kills needed to have Sans ask if I want a bad time here), the codes for the items needed (I already hacked the real knife into the game), and the room code for Sans' bossfight.
(I'm not very good at making "complete" questions yet so edit if you think something I said was unclear)

I've got about 70% of the fish found in the game.  At some point you get an email from one of the characters that says a great place to find rare fish is a subterranean lake near where he lives.

I've taken that to be the puddle/waterfall at the bottom of the ravine between the city ruins and the commercial center, at the end away from the elevator.  However while I've caught a number of things there, they have been extremely common fish (killfish) and junk (RPG).

Am I in the right spot, or is there another location for rare fish?  Is there anyway to increase the chances of getting rare fish?

I am playing on PS4 so answers which would require a mod to the game will not work.

Update:  So the ravine just outside the commercial center which I'm asking about above is NOT Emil's home, which is what is referenced in Emil's email.  Just to be clear, and that's why I wasn't finding some of the rare fish.

texts:
I've been using generic USB gamepads (those cheap Chinese gamepads) with my PC games for a long time now. They've served me well, but they all have an issue. The analog sticks are awful.

The range in which the stick returns a value is too small. Each of them had a dead zone around the center. This dead zone is actually small and manageable, but the pad also had a much larger "Outer Dead" zone, if that makes sense. The value from the stick maxes out before I push the stick all the way to the limit. Almost half way.  So it's kinda like the sticks have an inner and outer dead zone. I understand the need for an inner dead zone, but I don't want to deal with the outer dead zone any longer. The result is, I only have a small range within which I can control the pad.

I want to get a better pad. Ideally, I'd like a pad with a joystick that maxes out at the exact point where the stick is pushed to the limit. No "outer deadzone". I hope I'm making sense. I'm thinking of the DS3, which has analog triggers as well.

Ok, my question is directed to those that use the DS3. Will this pad suit my needs? How do you find the dead zones? Thanks.

texts: Why was I knocked out of a Pokemon Go gym that remained the same colour?

texts:
Today I saw a gym that had been taken over by Team Mystic, which is my team. It only had 2 Pokemon in it. I placed my highest Pokemon on the gym, and about half an hour later I was looking at my phone and noticed it was being attacked. I figured it was going to be taken over by one of the other teams.
It turned grey and stayed that way for about 5 minutes which was odd. It then went right back to Blue with 3 Pokemon on it, except I wasn't the third Pokemon - I got kicked out!
Why did I get kicked out?


texts: What are the most used cooking ingredients?

texts:
Stardew Valley allows players to cook dishes out of existing ingredients via a recipe. Some cooking ingredients are used in only one recipe, but some are required for multiple recipes.

Of all the ingredients in Stardew Valley, what 5-10 ingredients are used in the most recipes, and what recipes are they used for?

(I'd love a list of all ingredients with the number of recipes they're used in, but that's rather out of the scope of a question on this site.)

Reason (potential early-game spoiler):

   I'm hoping to make the best use of my upgraded house's fridge space. (I'd ask what the best ingredients to put in the fridge are, but that's opinion-based and therefore not appropriate for this site, either.)


texts: How does dual wielding affect my damage output as a demon hunter?

texts:
Possible Duplicate:
  When dual wielding weapons, how is damage calculated for skills that do X% weapon damage?

I tried out demon hunter after getting a nice 1-hand weapon for the class, when I got the Demon hunter to the level needed to equip it I moved my starting weapon to my offhand hoping this would give me higher damage, but the result was not very impressive when using Hungering Arrow, about half my shots was a nice high damage and the other half was low, like if the ability used the different weapons to calculate damage so I dropped my starting weapon for a shield. So to get a better understanding of why my damage was so terrible when dual wielding a good and a bad weapon I would like to know:

How is my damage done by skill calculated when dual wielding 1-hand crossbows compared to when using a 1-hand crossbow and shield or a 2-hand range weapon?


texts: Why are items automatically purchased for me?

texts:
In every game items are automatically purchased for me throughout the game without me adding them to the quick buy area.

The behavior is as follows:

Game starts.
Items are automatically bought.  The items include the Donkey
courier thing, a town portal, some tree eating potions, and some
kind of dust that I can't remember the name of.
As the game progresses, additional items are purchased like the
invisibility pendant and more potions.

It completely destroys the ability to buy any meaningful items and puts me at a serious disadvantage.  I've gone through the settings and don't see any auto-buy new player setting.

Any idea why this might be happening?

I have the PS3 Slim from 2010 I updated it today to the latest firmware version and after that it is not booting up. I tried entering to recovery but nothing shows up. The light turns on and stays green but nothing happens. After update from storage media, it rebooted but nothing came up for 20 minutes. the i pressed power, nothing happened. I then long pressed it to shut down.
I dont think it YSOD but am not sure if the hard disk got corrupted.
After that nothing shows up. No recovery options and video reset does nothing.

Edit: So I removed the hard drive and tried going to recovery.
Now it shows that there is now hard drive inside. So it is probably is a case of hard disk being corrupted. I will format it by connecting to my laptop and see if something happens.


texts: How do I know if I've already unlocked a pilot?

texts:
After receiving a new pilot during a run, that pilot is permanently unlocked for use at the start of a new game. This makes it worthwhile to grab any new pilot even if not planning to use them in the current run, as even when assigned to islands (read "sold"), the pilots are still unlocked.

However, I can't remember all of the pilots I've unlocked. Sometimes I found myself having to choose between a weapon and a pilot from a Perfect Island reward, and I gave up on a cool weapon for a pilot I didn't think I had unlocked, but which I had. While I can sell the pilot and spend the reputation on something else, I might've preferred picking up a weapon instead of a pilot I don't need.

In order to prevent this, is there a way to check if I've unlocked a specific pilot before picking him as my Perfect Island reward?

texts: What causes some homies' phones to give a busy signal when called (not able to be a follower)?

texts:
I've been playing SR3 again after playing SR4 for some time. I've noticed that in SR3 (like in SR2), some homies can not be called to be a follower on certain instances (their phones will give out a busy signal). This is unlike in SR4, where homies can be asked to follow you almost anytime and anywhere even when you have an active mission in Steelport*, and even shortly after they were just dismissed or shortly after the homie / player character dies.

I know that homies can't be called as a follower most of the time when you currently have a mission active. But even if I don't have any mission active, some homies' phones still give out a busy signal when called. I also know that there's a cooldown period before you can call a homie again to be a follower after they have been dismissed.

In instances where I don't have a mission active, what causes the homies' phones to give a busy signal when called? And how does this work?

How long is the cooldown period before you can call a homie again to be a follower after they have been called previously (after being dismissed or after the homie / player character dies)?
Are there locations where you can't call a homie to be a follower?
Are there certain events (not necessarily active missions) where homies won't be able to be a follower?

I'm working on my dailies to get Tol Barad Commendations so I can eventually pick up a Reins of the Drake of the West Wind. It seems after one day of dailies, I got 6 commendations.

Any and all advice to speed up the progress of getting Tol Barad Commendations including advice for the Victory in Tol Barad quest are highly appreciated.

Adaptive shields adapt to the last "elemental" type they were hit with with a set % of resistance. Sometimes non-elemental is counted as an "element" for resistance/bonuses, so I'm wondering if non-elemental damage is adapted to as well.

When I went to check out the co-op play option but it says that I haven't purchased the Online Pass and therefore cannot use it. I know that online passes have become more popular in the past year and often require a separate purchase if you buy the game used/secondhand, but so far the precedent I have seen is that you get an online pass if you purchase new.

I have purchased Saints Row: The Third brand new (the Platinum Pack even). It didn't seem to come with any separate Online Pass code that I can find in my box. All I had was the code for the Professor Genki DLC.

Do I have to purchase the Online Code separately even though I have a new version of the game? Is it possible my box was just missing the code?

texts: What actually unlocked the Previous Assassin's outfits

texts:
In my game when I went into the outfits I found I had the previous Assassin's outfits in with the rest. I assumed this was because I had played the previous games (didn't complete Assassin's Creed 3) and they got unlocked because the game picked up their save games.

When my dad went to play the game and went to his outfits he didn't have any and he's completed Assassin's Creed 3. the only difference between his profile and mine is that I have an x-box live account which I use to update the game on his 360.

I am wondering, what unlocks the Previous Assassin's outfits?

EDIT: To clarify (as I didn't think of it) I have never used UPlay and always skipped any signup/log in step.

I've gotten the items from the side table on the first floor and the item on the stand at the end of the bed upstairs.  Not sure where #3 spawns.

I've opened every searchable container in the house and no other high value item is present.

Does this happen often or am I just missing something, like the other spawn point?

texts: How is the Tempest Trials bonus applied?

texts:
Normally, bonus units will give you the bonus points right after a level, such as in the Arena. However, the Tempest Trials force you to do up to 7 fights in a row with up to 4 different teams. I spent the entirety of today raising a level 1 4☆ Nowi into a level 40 5☆ unit to try and reap the 40% bonus since she's a current bonus ally.

The team she was on (Team 1) lost on map 4 of 5 and I was ultimately unable to win on map 5. However, I noticed that I was given more points than a loss should have awarded me. Does the bonus ally simply need to be on any team to get the bonus for all maps or does the bonus only apply to maps that that unit was present on?

texts:
Here is what is in my command block:

execute @p[x=~5,y=~2,z=~17,r=5] ~ ~ ~ /spawnpoint @p[r=1] ~3 ~3 ~-5

I want it to find the nearest player (within 5 blocks) that is standing 5 blocks east, 2 blocks above and 17 blocks south of the command block, and I want it to set the spawnpoint of that player to 3 blocks east, 3 blocks up and 5 blocks north of himself.

The output from the command block is:

[13:50:02] Entity '@p[x=~5,y=~2,z=~17,r=5]' cannot be found

When I am standing directly on the block it should execute on. Any reason for this? Is my command wrong?

EDIT: Just replaced the command block with another command block with the command:

setblock ~5 ~2 ~17 wool

And it placed the block at my feet

EDIT2: Tried replacing the "@p" in the execute with "@a" - did nothing. Also tried replacing the "@p" in the spawnpoint with "@s" - did nothing.

texts: How soon do I have to change difficulty levels to get the Mass Effect 1 insanity award?

texts:
This question is similar to How soon do I have to change difficulty levels to get the Mass Effect 3 insanity award?, but for Mass Effect 1 instead.

When you begin a new game in Mass Effect, there is a period between the opening cinematics and the first combat mission where you get to roam around the bridge of the Normandy. During this time, it's possible to enter the settings menu and change the difficulty of the game.

If I change the difficulty from a lower level to Insanity, and leave it at Insanity for the rest of the game, is it possible to receive the Insanity achievement?

I ask because I have a high level character that I used to beat the game at a lower difficulty, and I want to import that character into a new game so that I don't have to start an Insanity playthrough at level 1, but when I do the import, the new playthrough starts off using the lower difficulty, the game doesn't give me the option to begin the new playthrough on Insanity. As far as I can tell, the only chance I get to increase the difficulty is right after the opening cinematic.


texts: Can't install certain Steam games on ExFAT hard drive

texts:
I was trying to install BioShock Infinite on my external hard drive, but Steam said it couldn't use my hard drive because it uses the FAT32 filesystem which I'm assuming is because it has a 4GB per file limit. But since I'm using ExFAT which doesn't have this limitation, this shouldn't be an issue. I read an answer to a similar question with the answer being that Steam checks for a 'FAT' name string for the volume format and since ExFAT has FAT in the name, it picks it up as FAT32. The same answer also suggested that I could possibly inject a .dll file into it, which seemed a bit shady but I don't know.

Does anyone know a way I can get around this limitation? In addition, the answer I referenced before can be found here.

texts: Is Holy/Unholy Champion worth it as an ability?

texts:
Holy Champion and Unholy Champion are abilities that both cost 10 points and effectively increase hero's Attack and Damage by +2, which is a lot (two times more efficient than simply levelling up those stats).

However, they are also available as a spell that costs 25 mana to cast and 8 mana per turn to support. When playing a campaign, skill points are actually an a lot more rare resource than mana, as hero level is very limited. I typically leave skill points for much better things like Cold/Lightning Strike, Life Stealing, Parry, Charge etc.

Is it worth it to get permanent Champion ability using skill points?

How do I get my server to work from the Internet selection?


texts: How is dark elixir distributed among storage buildings?

texts:
I am a Town Hall level 7 and have a Dark Elixir drill but no DE storage yet. I have collected 2k DE until so far.

Now I am about to build a DE storage which can hold 6000. I need 10k Dark Elixir for the Barbarian King. My present DE, the 2k DE my DE drill has generated, is stored in the Town Hall. If I build a storage, will this DE stay in the TH or will it be transferred to the storage?

texts: What does "zoning" mean for fighting games?

texts:
I've seen the terms "zone" and "anti-zone" used in regards to moves, as well as discussion about whether or not a character is a good "zoner" or has a good "zoning game."

What exactly does this term mean? Is it movement speed, avoidance ability, a combination of the two or something else?

Anyone else have issues with the models not rendering for zen bound 2 on recent versions of android lollipop?
 (Version 5.1.1)

Any one know of a fix? Rope and pins appear, wooden models are translucent.

Edit: The game appears to be gone from google play, maybe they dropped support.

Update : Asked on steam discussion board
Still trying to find the best way to contact secret exit.

I tried installing the GLSL Shaders Mod, but no matter what I try, it just uses the default lighting. I'm using Minecraft 1.5.2 with Magic Launcher 1.1.4 and I have these mods installed (in order):

minecraftforge-universal-1.5.2-7.8.0.684
OptiFine_1.5.2_HD_U_D3
ShadersMod-mc1.5.2-ofud3-1.46
[1.5.2]ReiMinimap_v3.3_05
JourneyMap2.6.0_MC1.5.2

I have installed shaders, none of them work.

texts:
Today, when I logged onto Puzzles And Dragons, I noticed a blue hexagon with a white 15 under my name when I signed into Google Play. What does that number mean and what is it for?
I would show a picture, but the one I took is really blurry and you can't see the number.

EDIT: Here's a picture I found on the Internet.

texts: Using Command blocks to track a specific player's player kills

texts:
I'm trying to get command blocks to track ONLY one specific player's kills, specifically player kills.

So far I have tried:

/scoreboard objectives add Kills stat.playerKills
/testfor EpicMinecartz [score_Kills=2,score_Test_Kills=1]
/scoreboard objectives remove Kills
/scoreboard objectives add Kills stat.playerKills

All linked up with repeaters.

So, all this is fine but the first command block pulls up an error upon activation:

[11:08:02] /testfor <player>

So, my question is:

In 1.7.9 Is there a way to track one player's kills not using @p or @a or @r to track basically everybody?
