texts: Will my Playstation Plus be affected if I share games with a friend?

texts: Ok, so, this is the situation. I have my primary account on the PS4 with my PS+ account. I want to share games with my friend, he will give me his account to play some games. So, since, from what I understand, I need to put his account as my primary account on the PS4. But since I do that, do I have to deactive as my primary account MY psn? meaning, the PS+ subscription will be affected?


texts: Kega Fusion not quitting on "Escape" when launched with -fullscreen

texts:
I'm building an arcade cabinet and using Kega Fusion, but I need an easy way to exit the emulator. There is no way to use Alt+F4 for quitting the emulator, due to hardware limitations (I'm using I-Pac for key input so solutions involving rebinding keys don't work for me).
I found several mentions online that Kega should quit on Esc when launched with the -fullscreen command line option, but at least for me it is still toggling between fullscreen and windowed mode like Esc normally does.
Anyone got an idea what is wrong?

texts: Investing in town and resource nodes - what do they do?

texts:
There are 3 main type of nodes in Black Desert Online:

Grind nodes
Resource nodes
Towns

Investing in grind nodes is clear what it does (increase drop chance by x% depending on lvl). You can get this info from invest button tooltip.

But what does it to for others? I'm assuming that since the button is there there is an use for it.

I've read multiple forums/theories regarding what it does but nothing conclusive. Also tested some myself but because of rng gains is really hard to test alone (would need like 2-3 years to test by myself and get some clear results).

Some theories are:

For resource nodes it increases the number and/or quality of gained items (Tested myself on 2 nodes but results where inconclusive - I got indeed an increase of like 10% between a lvl 1 node vs a lvl 10, but it may as well be rng, worker level, etc. Also since the period was over 2 months I may have loose track of some of the items).
For towns it gives you better amity game odds for all npcs in town.
For towns it decreases the amount of amity you loose when you buy from amity shops.
For towns it increases the odds for lucky crafts (lucky tools, superior gear, etc.).
There are some other but from what I tested those were not valid (feel free to add to the list).

None of the things listed here were confirmed/invalidated by me or any resource I found.

The question is: what does investing in towns and resource nodes do? The answer should have an official or reliable source OR should be backed up by testing data.


texts: Nothing but looking around works in Minecraft 1.7.2 and 1.7.4, but it did in previous versions

texts:
Okay, so let me tell you what happens. I can play any version just fine, and I could play with the snapshots before 1.7.2 was fully released. But now, when I try to go into a world or a server, all I can do is look around. None of the buttons will respond, clicking won't respond, but it renders the world around me and I can turn (very slowly) and look at everything. And on servers, the chat shows what it would show when you join the server, but it doesn't update the chat after that.

I don't have any mods installed and I don't use any resource packs. My computer is a Dell Latitude D600 with Windows XP.

texts: How do I deal optimal damage while dual-wielding?

texts:
Dual-wielding in Skyrim is... interesting. You can swing both hands individually (but not at the same time), or swing both hands together in a dual-attack.

The dual-attack can't be used while moving, but otherwise seems the premier way to deal damage with two weapons.

Then there's the dual power attack, which just completely wrecks #@$* up, but this requires stamina, so its not always an option.

Am I missing something here? Is there ever any reason where I wouldn't want to use the dual-strike? Is there some bonus to the regular swings when dual-wielding?


texts: PS2 slim having trouble in multiplayer selection

texts:
My son has PS2 7000 series. It never functions with second controller. At first we thought that the problem is with the controller so we changed it. But it didn't work. Then we bought multitap, considering that the problem may be with the slot. But still the issue persists.
For example, if he plays Dragon Ball Z, the option for 1p VS 2p is disabled. In any multiplayer game the option for second player is inactive. By any game I really mean ANY Game. We tried more than 1o different games but no luck.
What could be the problem? Please help.


texts: Does the Monk passive skill Unity stack with multiple Monks applying it?

texts:
Unity currently reads: "Each ally affected by your Mantras increases your damage by 5%, up to a maximum of 20%, and has 5% increased damage."

Let's say you're with 4 allies, at least one of which is a Monk. You get +20% from your Unity. Do you also get +5% from theirs (since maybe these are considered separate buffs)?

If there are multiple other Monks, would you get multiple +5%s? (my understanding of buffs is that no, you would only get 1 in this case)

texts: When cloning an object in Disgaia 3 by killing a clone of a character using the Paw Stick, it supposedly steals one item at a 20% rate. If you only equip the clone with one item (out of 4 slots), will that 20% chance ever "hit an empty slot" and be wasted? Or is it that "if it works, it will hit one equipped item, guaranteed?" I ask because it's usually a powerful item you want to clone, and keeping 4 copies of it (or holding off combining things and leaving it in 1/4ths) makes the process much slower.

texts:
Today i was at a arena. A player from the red team put a Grimer there, which causes my game to crash every time I select the arena (Samsung Galaxy S4 mini). All other pokemons i saw so far did not make any problems

I searched a bit, and found out that this is a known bug, e.G.: here

Now my question, is there a way to battle in the arena or even select it without crashing my app? Some option like "hide model in arena",changing some smartphone-settings or another trick? Or do i have to wait till a bugifx from niantec comes or somebody else which has a handy which dont crashes with grimer clears the arena, before selecting the arena?
Because somebody could place him there i guess this is only a bug for specific smartphones, but this could be used to exclude a lot of players from arenafighting by only placing grimers in arenas to let the game crash for them, are there some official notes about this from niantec or how to avoid the crash?

But when I start the game from Steam, none of the changes take effect and the game starts up with all of its defaults in place. This is a fresh install of the Steamworks version, and my operating system is Windows 8.1. What am I missing?

I had set up a Minecraft 1.8.8 server and play together with a friend on this server. All clients and the server are Vanilla, no mods installed.

A few days ago, this feature broke. I can't see my friend on my map. But he can see me. The maps are identical, both Map#6.

How can I solve this?

I can give special raising gear to my settlers and companions and it increases their stats but I have no idea if it gives them any useful benefits.

I know Strength increases companions carry weight and (hopefully) raises their melee damage.

But what about Agility or Perception? Do they have any effect on weapon accuracy if npcs don't have access to vats and don't use action points (melee settlers probably use action points for power attacks similar to Skyrim).

texts:
As I entered Route 2, the screen narrowed and I noticed something rustling in the grass. When I walked towards it, whatever it was rushed at me and initiated an encounter.

In this case it was a Makuhita, which I hadn't seen before. Does something rustling in the grass then rushing towards me mean that it's a rare or particularly strong Pokémon? Is this a scripted sequence?

texts: What are the different places on the map?

texts:
I've noticed that the map has different types of landscape.  Does this play into the game at all?  I'm mostly concerned with combat in these places.  Are certain enemies only in specific areas?  Do some areas make you more likely to enter combat?

For example, when entering a location designated with a . the side-bar said:

the trees are gone. parched earth
and blowing dust are poor
replacements.

Logically, enemies would then be able to see you from greater distance, so chance of combat might go up?

When I went back into the T this message appeared:

a wall of gnarled trees rises from
the dust. their branches twist into
a skeletal canopy overhead.

The , says:

the trees yield to dry grass. the
yellowed brush rustles in the
wind.

Also, I assume # is some kind of path since I seem to not get attacked there

I saw this wiki but the only helpful info was:

O - A Deserted Town. The player can encounter a Thug, a Vigilante, a Beast, or
a Scavenger. The player may also encounter an Overturned Caravan or a Small
Cache of Supplies with a random assortment of rewards, a Small Basket of Food
with Cured Meat. Once conquered, the Deserted Town will turn into An Outpost.

P - An Outpost. A safe clearing that refills the player's water supply, and
provides the player with Cured Meats. Outposts can only be utilized once for
each journey out into the Barren World, but are replenished once the player
returns back to their village.

In the Knights of the Nine expansion for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion you have to collect several of the crusaders relics. One of them is The Boots of the Crusader. These are enchanted with Woodland Grace, which turns most animals in the game into friendlies.

This is awesome and I loved having this ability in Oblivion. It's not like the animals where hard to kill or anything. I guess I am just an animal lover and enjoyed not killing them.

So is there anyway to get this enchantment or something similar in Skyrim? I am looking for something pernament as I already have a temporary solution in the shout of Animal_Allegiance.

texts:
During the second chapter of Alan Wake I ran into a situation where I was running low on ammo. Luckily, I managed to kill the last enemy with my last bullet and the episode ended shortly afterwards, but I was wondering what would've been my options if I did, in fact, run out of ammo and still had to face enemies.

As far as I could tell, the only way to defeat enemies is either by shooting them or getting to a safe spot, but is there always a safe spot to escape to? Are there alternative "ammo-independent" methods of killing enemies which can be used in case I run out of ammo? Could I possibly get stuck on the same checkpoint without enough ammo, forcing me to restart the whole chapter?

texts: How many heroes I can play for free when I buy Heroes of the Storm Founder's Pack?

texts:
It is written here that "Anyone who opts to buy a Founder's Pack will get access to Raynor, Diablo and Tyrande for use as heroes". But 3 heroes sounds like not a lot of fun and I know that during Alpha people could get access to all heroes using so called "rotation pull" (accessible heroes where different each week).
So, is it true that buying the Founder's Pack I can play with 3 heroes only unless I spend money, or I can unlock some other heroes too?

The game clearly displays that he is offering me a price better than "market" though I don't really know where I can sell things other than to him.  Often times he offers flooz too, which seems very hard to come by.  Since there are so many items, and I sometimes don't really know their full worth yet - does Pepin ever offer me deals that are "bad" which I should not take?

Mathematics preferred for theorycrafting. Thanks!

I like every here and there testing an older version of Minecraft, from the "old alpha" versions to the newest ones. But a while ago I let my older relative play, and after that I found a version labeled "1.8.10" in the profile editor in the launcher. 1.8.10! That doesn't exist! So I decedied to launch Minecraft on the version.
It's similar to the normal 1.8, just has buttons named "Metro" and "donate" in the main menu. That means I'm running the Metro hacked client!

But what I don't understand is why it's named "1.8.10"? Is it possible to rename versions? If yes, how?

P.S. Asking my relative is not a solution, sadly.

texts: Do competitive bans eventually "forgive" a player?

texts:
In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, I was kicked for doing too much damage to my teammate. This gave me a 30 minute competitive ban. I know that after you get a 30 minute ban, you get a 2 hour ban, then a 24 hour ban, and a 7 day ban.

So after my 30 minute ban, if I don't get another ban for, well, a set amount of time, and then I get another ban, will my ban be a longer ban, or can my ban records be erased?


texts: I literally got STUCK in Dear Esther - how do I get "unstuck"?

texts:
Just 30 minutes into the game I try to walk onto a rooftop for some reason... I promptly got stuck and literally can't move an inch. It's as if my walk buttons are disabled. Is there any way to get unstuck in this game, or will I have to start all over?

Note: this game is based on Valve's Source engine. Development console is enabled in the options, but I can't seem to manage to open it. It doesn't open when clicking the § key as it does in other Source games, nor while holding shift or control and clicking it.

I've restarted the chapter and walked onto the edge of the roof again, and yep, I got stuck. So it seems there's a bug a 5 minute walk into chapter 2 near the rooftop of a house where you get stuck. Here's a picture of the scene and above is a link to the game saves if somebody has trouble finding the spot. Hope it gets fixed! Also a configurable key-bind for the developer console would have saved me hours of frustration. I still can't open it.

I noticed this while waiting in a skirmish on Temple of Anubis. In the attacker's spawn area, where the player can change heroes, there is some music playing. It sounds like it's coming from a radio or a computer, and sounds like an acoustic guitar.

Before I begin my specs are stated here -

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 GDDR5 @ 4GB (128bit)
RAM: 8.00GB (7.85 GB usable)
OS: Windows 10 64-bit

Whenever I play games such as titanfall 2 or fallout new vegas on my windows login (which is the administrator profile) my games run at a decent 40-60 FPS. However my sister has games such as wolfquest 3: Anniversary edition and The Isle on her windows profile. When she tries to run her games, they seem FPS capped. The isle will at random cap itself at 15 to 30 FPS and wolfquest will cap itself at 14 FPS or lower. Wolfquest for instance ran at a flawless 60fps on the highest setting and so did the isle at one point in time, but now shes having capped fps issues with her 2 higher end games whereas when I log into my profile and use my games, they run decently at 40 to 60fps. Is there any kind of setting within the laptop that throttles other users hardware usage or some administrator setting that allows me to have higher performance than other users? Or maybe it's a hardware, software, or system setting? I doubt it's a lack of needed hardware because other games using the same hardware run at maximum performance.


texts: What is a general strategy for someone new to Dawn of War?

texts:
I will begin this question with the following disclaimer:

  I am absolutely terrible at RTS games.

With that in mind, I am hoping that a simple, general strategy may be proposed for a noob player that really does not want to get deeply involved in learning the ins and outs of each class...I do not plan on going through the single player or learning enough to professionally compete, this is more knowledge for the person who will play this game a few times within the course of the year.

That being said, I am going to be doing some LAN gaming soon and this is one of the games we will play.  The last time we played I got absolutely creamed and would like to at least put up a decent fight.

I have no race preference...really whatever is the easiest to get up and running and put on a good showing is what I would prefer.  We have all of the expansions, so the extra races are available as well.

I think the general rule of one strategy per answer would be appropriate here as well.

For some reason whenever I begin playing in my town, my character walks out the door to her house, but then this weird animation plays. She does this arm motion like she's fanning her forehead with her hand while sweat drops fall from her head like she just got done doing a hard day's work, or as if it was hot outside.
Is she tired? Am I doing something wrong? Why does this animation always play when I boot up my game? Does it effect my gameplay at all?

texts: How do I design a combinator circuit to keep track of a train's contents, even when not at the train stop?

texts:
I'm trying to design a combinator circuit that will output a signal with the train's content while a train is at the train stop (i.e. the same signal as the train stop's "Read train contents" mode), but when the train leaves, it should hold the signal at the content of the last train until the next train arrives.

In pseudo-code:

If T > 0                  # If a train is at the station
    Output = Everything   # Output train contents
Else
    Output = Output from previous tick
End

So far, I've got this:

The first arithmetic combinator is set to Each * -1 -> Each, which is added to the signal from the train stop on the next tick to give the changes between each tick as a "delta-signal".

The decider combinator is set to T >= 0 -> Everything so that this "delta-signal" is ignored on the tick when the train leaves the station. (T > 0 indicates that a train is at the station, so "delta-T" will pulse negative as the train is leaving)

Finally, this is fed into a simple accumulating Each + 0 -> Each arithmetic combinator which also feeds into itself, acting as the memory cell of the system.

The result of this is that the memory cell updates continuously if I add or remove items from the train while it's at the station, and it correctly remembers the content as the train leaves.

However, I haven't been able to figure out how to reset it properly when the next train arrives, so currently, each train that arrives at the station adds to the current count rather than overwriting it.

I essentially need to ensure that on the tick when the train arrives, the current content of the memory cell is subtracted from the "delta signal", but I keep struggling to get the timing right while at the same time preventing the value of T from the memory cell (which I otherwise don't care about) from interfering without using a ton of combinators.


texts: Should my energy collectors be running even when I'm logged off?

texts:
I have a private server running Tekkit and I'm finding that some (perhaps all) of my energy collectors are running 24x7, even when nobody else is logged on (supposing I log off in the evening, when I check on it in the morning I can find half a stack or so of dark matter waiting for me in a chest).

Are energy collectors supposted to work even when nobody is logged onto the server? Its nice having all of these resources, but I can't help but wonder if this is a bug.

My friend and I are the only people whitelisted on the server and I've checked the logs so I know that nobody else is logged on.  Also neither of us have placed any world anchors or anything like that.  The collectors are close to the spawn, I'm not sure if that makes any difference or not.

texts: Why does the Filler item tell me to tilt the system?

texts:
In vs. modes with items turned on, the Filler item (that's what I call it, its icon is green with six blocks) causes all the blocks in the player's field to disconnect and fall down, filling in all the holes and leaving an emptier grid of nicely-stacked blocks.

The thing is, using a Filler causes a prompt to appear that says to tilt the 3DS - and then it disappears almost instantly, unlike the "blow" and "touch screen" prompts which remain for several seconds when their relevant items are used. I try to tilt the 3DS just after I hit the button but it doesn't seem to have any effect. What is it supposed to do?

texts: Minecraft 1.14.4 dynamical sized integer array

texts:
I'm trying to make a dynamical sized integer array in Minecraft 1.14.4. I've already tried different ways, but the problem was with all of those solutions, that I had to summon one entity for each index, and then having two scoreboard, which were holding the integer for every entity and the index for every entity.

Then I had to run something like this:

/execute as @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,tag=array] if score #index INDEX = @s INDEX store result score #value VALUES run scoreboard players get @s VALUES

where #index is the index I want to read from, and #value is the return value. The problem with this is, that if you have around 1000 indexes, the game gets really laggy due to all the entities.

Has someone got an idea of how to do this in a better way? Maybe with the ability of 1.14 nbt arrays, but without the need of iterating through every index (because every command is taking some time to get executed, and I necessarily need the speed)?

PS.: I'm already using a datapack, so it won't be a problem, if the solution depends on functions.

texts: What are the downsides of having a bigger dead zone?

texts:
I have a Xbox 360 controller and it has always worked fine on PC and Xbox 360.
I then used in on Switch, even though the calibration shows a slight drift to the left, I still played Xenoblade Chronicles using it and experienced no drift. I then played Zelda and the drift starts to appear. This led me to believe that maybe Zelda has a higher sensitity, and the issue can be resolved software-wise by lowering the sensitivity - having a bigger dead zone on the joystick.
There must be some reason why the option of increasing the dead zone was not considered by console makers who do have this issue. What would be the downsides of increasing the dead zone?

We don't really have a functioning military, but I suppose we now have the time to train.

What options do I have for getting rid of these undead attackers?

I was thinking, we could build an archery platform and when they walk near, pelt them with bolts, but then, can't undead only be killed by decapitation? How should we handle this?

texts: How can I safely use traps in my settlements?

texts:
As far as I can tell, the correct way to use traps for defense in my settlements is to place a trigger (plate or tripwire) where an enemy is likely to walk over it, place a trap nearby the trigger, and wire them to a generator in series. This works, in as far as my Defense rating goes up when I do it.

But, I frequently find that my own settlers, in their random wanderings, are setting the traps off. This seems especially true if I try to place both traps and guard posts at chokepoints -- the guards on patrol walk over the traps. It also makes it impossible to trap high-value areas like the crops, generators, etc.

I assume that I could set the traps, then fence them in so no one could trigger them, and my Defense rating would go up, but it also breaks the immersion a bit, and makes traps useless in a real fight. I may as well just drop nothing but turrets.

Is there some trick to setting the traps so that the bad guys might still fall into them, but the good guys won't?

texts: What's the minimum point difference between first and last place in Mario Kart Wii after N races?

texts:
First off: I know my question is much more of an math problem/riddle/... than a really gaming related question, but I figured that e.g. the Math StackExchange didn't fit the question.
The Setup
In the last days I played Super Mario Kart Wii in 3-player Splitscreen with my roommates. After finishing one of the race series (we always play 8 races at a time), the question arose how close the final scores of all 12 drivers can become.
The Problem
In Super Mario Kart Wii, the 12 places in a race get awarded the following number of points:

Place
Points

1st
15

2nd
12

3rd
10

4th
8

5th
7

6th
6

7th
5

8th
4

9th
3

10th
2

11th
1

12th
0

So after 1 race, the minimum point difference between last and first place is 15.
And the maximum point difference is very easy to calculate even for N races as the same player can always come in 1st while another player can always come in last:

maxDiff(N) = N * 15 - N * 0 = N * 15

But how can we calculate the minimum point difference after exactly N races?
So in the intermediate races a non-optimal distribution of points is allowed if that leads to a lower minimum point difference after N races.
Note: The number of points handed out in one race is 73.
What we've done so far
Tried to bruteforce our case of N=8: But there are (naively) 12!^8 = 2*10^69 different distributions. This can surely be simplified because the order of the 8 races doesn't matter but we did not come up with that yet.
We imagined a tactic for N = even where we always mirror the places (so #1, #2, #3, ... in odd races become #12, #11, #10, ... in even races). For N=8 (which has an average number of points for each driver of 73*8/12 = 48.7) we got that the driver who switches between #1 and #12 gets 60 points and the drivers in the middle of the pack (e.g. switching between #6 and #7) get 44 points. So we get:

minDiff(8 according to tactic above) = 60 - 44 = 16

which is only 1 point difference more than for N = 1.
But we don't know whether this is the most efficient approach and we don't know how to optimally handle the case N = odd.

Is anybody able to come up with a nice solution for this problem?

If I have the Wii version of the peripherals, is it possible to use them with my Xbox 360?

The reason I think this would be possible is because they are midi-capable instruments that can be plugged into my computer and work fine there, and they communicate to the Wii using a USB dongle.  Since the Xbox has USB ports as well, it is physically possible to connect them to my Xbox without any further modifications.

Will they actually work to play the game, however?

Is there some way I can make them work if it's not just as simple as plug and play?  I am willing to spend money on a third-party peripheral to "translate" if necessary for this functionality.

texts:
Some time ago (shortly after Beta 1.3 launched), I started a new minecraft game, and made a little base. (Didn't know about beds yet, so I just waited out the night). Anyway, when light came, I took out a spider and a creeper close to the entrance, and went out to build a tower on top of the base's location (so I could find my way back if/when I died.)

However, due to the rough nature of the terrain outside, I couldn't see very far, and I was promptly ambushed by another three creepers, and blown to bits.

So, my question would be the following:

In a new game (before you get the resources for a bow and arrow, or elaborate traps), how do you avoid copying my nefarious end? Creepers are the only enemy in the game that stay aggressive in sunlight (spiders revert to neutral, and other hostile ones burn up), do significant damage by blowing you up (making close combat risky, and you don't really have any alternatives at that stage), AND don't make any warning sounds until they're right on top of you. So what's the best method for dealing with these annoyances?

(Also, I'd prefer something aside from "Sleep at night to avoid the spawns". I know that will work in single-player, but I spend a lot of time on SMP servers, and that doesn't work as well there.)

It is dubbed in English, not subtitled. IMO, this English dub is of very bad quality, I like the original much more.
At the same time, some lines are not dubbed (and hence not translated at all!), so an English-speaking player wouldn't understand what goes on.
I did a quick Google search, it did not yield anything.

I liked that Source games where you could easily turn subtitles on, reading stuff in any language you want, but listening to it as it was originally done.

Any option to do the same with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, particularly "Call of Pripyat", so I can reliably advise the game for my non-Russian friends?

I don't know what happened but, I was playing Minecraft and everything was working perfectly. Next day I get on and it made me redownload the game. And all my versions are gone! All my versions are in my versions folder, but when I open my Minecraft launcher and go into "Use Version" nothing is in there?! Please help!

Also, If this is helpful, all my resourcepacks work great. It's just my versions that don't work.

(One last thing, it's only my mod versions. Like Optifine, and Forge.)

In Snoopy's Street Fair, you have the option of adding Game Center or Facebook friends' fairs so that you can share things like trading cards with them.

I have a friend on Game Center who I know is playing Snoopy's Street Fair, however every time I try to add them using the "add friend's fairs" button (and selecting the "use Game Center" option), it always says "0 Friends added" and I can't visit their fair.

Why is this happening? How can I fix it? I don't want to be friendless forever!

texts:
I've seen videos of people making pools on the second floor (and higher up) in houses, and put large windows in them so you could see your sims swimming from the other side of the window. I tried this but underground: building a basement bordering on a pool and putting a window in between them. But for some reason I am unable to put them next to one another: there stays a square in between them with a message from the game.

Am I doing it wrong, or is it impossible to do in the first place?


texts: What's the deal with the cure delivery on the rooftop in Arkham City?

texts:
So I've been playing Arkham City recently. Near the beginning of the game,

  The Joker poisons Batman.

Much of the rest of the game is spent

  searching for the cure to the poison. At one point, you get a call from Alfred, who tells you that Lucius Fox has synthesized a cure and it's Coming Soon To A Rooftop Near You. Sure enough, the cure is in a delivery capsule just like the ones that brought me the BatSuit and the Turbo Grapple, but when Batman injects the cure, he passes out and wakes up at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.  The supposed cure is never mentioned again and the rest of the game centers around finding more cure?

What did I miss?

texts: Nick Valentine has disappeared after fleeing from Skinny Malone?

texts:
So, I was doing the mission 'Unlikely Valentine' and finally I was escaping the vault. Malone was counting down from ten, and so I rushed out of the building as fast as I could. Thinking to find my companion and Valentine out of the station. But after exiting the station I found that only my companion survived and teleported out of the building.

I re-entered the building, but I only found Malone and the two triggermen. I rapidly killed them and I looked for Valentine. No corpse, no messages in the Pip-Boy, nothing, he just disappeared. So, I entered the Vault and I went to office where he was being captured. Nope he was not there either.

So where could it be? I mean, I don't really know now. The mission says to follow Valentine, but I don't know where he is and the minimap does not help at all!

Is there any way I could find Valentine?

Even if we all took 1 water ration every 3 days (unlikely) that only is enough to last for 9 days -- not to forget that banished people also get to get their daily ration.

Is this true? Could there be other sources of water in the map? Are we going to have to kill each other to survive?

texts: Can other forms of avoiding damage block the "Phase Shift" achievement?

texts:
On a recent playthrough on easy using the Stealth Cruiser; Layout 1 The Nesasio, I tried to unlock the "Phase Shift" achievement. This achievement requires that you avoid 9 points of damage in a single cloak, to this end I fully upgraded and powered the Cloak system and used it just as I saw a lot of damage coming from an enemy ship that I counted to total more than 9, but the achievement didn't ding. I even completely dodged the third stage power surge of the boss with a cloak which should have totaled 12 damage. (I got my high score off this run though :P )

This made me think that maybe the game thought I didn't avoid 12 points of damage using only Cloak, as my fully upgraded shields and engines may have helped avoid some, most likely the shields. Did I not receive the achievement because my shields would have taken off most of that or my engines alone would have saved me?

I really want this achievement to unlock the Stealth Cruiser Layout 2 as I have found that Tactical Approach is influenced more heavily by luck (A Hazard being your only possible route at times.)


texts:
I've just completed the mission where I have to cross the gap on Infamy Bridge to get some sonar doohickey. I've done this before on previous playthroughs and I definitely remember there being a safehouse in a tower on the bridge just before the gap.

However, I've climbed clear to the top (and through both towers on either side) and never got the "Safehouse Unlocked" notification, and I do not see a sleeping bag or stash (assuming there should be one like all the other safehouses).

The "zipline" to cross the gap is/was working incorrectly for whatever reason and was releasing me on the way down (to my death, I tried ~4 times before giving up and just swimming across like a chump). Totally separate issue of course, but this safehouse would have been nice to have so that I wouldn't have had to waste time running from the second closest safehouse.

Is there something I'm not doing to clear it or is there some prerequisite for unlocking it like the others (power box or something)? At this point I'm assuming either (A) a glitch or (B) I'm an idiot.

Title might not be very explanatory. If someone understands my situation please feel free to suggest an edit since I don't know how clear this is.

Because I have no idea where to start and have no experience in this, I think there won't be any pictures.

Anyway, I want to have a hopper as an input and have paper (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) be thrown in the hopper. Then, the hopper takes the input (paper in this case) and sends it to 5 different hoppers each filled with papers labeled 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. And then give a comparator output based on the paper you have thrown. And if it's neither of the labeled inputs given, the input gets thrown into a separate chest.

Again, not sure if I'm clear or not, but any help is appreciated. Thanks.

texts: Rage won't validate in Steam for offline play

texts:
So it's been a while since I've used Steam but I found somewhere on the web I had to validate a game before I could play it offline https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3160-AGCB-2555

Looking at one of the bullets:

  Verify that all game files are completely updated - you can see the
  update status for a game under the Library section (when the game
  shows as 100% - Ready it is ready to be played in Offline Mode)

This wasn't overly clear but I found something about validation by right clicking > properties > security > validate offline content (I'm doing this by memory as I'm at work so apologies if that's not 100% correct).

So it loads up a window and begins validating. At about 30% it disappears to be replaced by a new window stating: 1 file failed to verify and will be reacquired. I press OK and nothing seems to happen. I found this article:

http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2216400

(see here for the Google cached version while the forums are down http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:hlyBLa74OvgJ:forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php%3Ft%3D2216400+steam+rage+1+file+failed+to+validate&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk)

but it doesn't seem to solve things. I explored which file was being reacquired using the same process mentioned in that forum thread and it is even the same file as the OP It's the installscript.vdf in the steamapps\common\rage\ folder.

Anyone have any ideas? I assume I am doing the correct procedure to get offline play, and I certainly don't have the 100% - Ready anywhere obvious that Steam says I need.

texts:
Basically, whenever someone dies, I say in chat:

/tellraw @a {"text":"","color":"aqua","extra":[{"selector":"@p"},{"text":" has finally died"}]}

The above command tells me whoever was closer to the command block when it was activated died. I currently have a scoreboard that tracks the deaths:

/scoreboard players set @a hasDied 0

And then removes them after the death message appears.

So I want to make something that basically looks like this:

/tellraw @a {"text":"","color":"aqua","extra":[{"selector":"@p[score_hasDied_min=1]"},{"text":" has finally died"}]}

How do I get the @p[score_hasDied_min=1] to work inside the tellraw command, or something similar?

Possible Duplicate:
  Why can I sometimes take half of a shops items while the oher half is considered stealing?

When inside house, usually all items say "steal" instead of "take" - make sense, all good.

But sometimes some items are "stealable" while others can be taken without any fear of stealing, and sometimes even in the same cabin/chest some items are red while others are not.

What determines this behavior? Sometimes I did quests for the house owners then most items became eligible to take but sometimes even in empty house, I could still take some items without stealing them.


texts: Some of my villagers on Minecraft are not restoking

texts:
Some of my villagers just will not restock. I first encountered this when one of my farmers got stuck in a cow pen I made. I turns out that since the fence was right next to terrain they just walk into the pen from above. I sold some wheat to him until he was out of stock and even now that he is out of the pen for a while he has not restocked. I waited many Minecraft days but he did not restock so I just got another villager to sell my wheat to. This recently happened again but with my blacksmith when I made the same mistake and he got stuck in my sheep pen. Whilst he was in there I bought some diamond axes so I could level him up and once he ran out I went away. Later I can back to get him out and now the same problem has happened where he has not been restocking the diamond axes. Please not I do not know if he does not restock the other trades because in the farm's case I am only using him to sell wheat and no other item. For the blacksmith it cost me 17 emeralds (sometimes 13 during discounts) for 1 diamond axe with efficiency I already on it. It makes the best trade to just buy the axe with emeralds and it gives him alot of xp. Please tell me the cause, solution and how to prevent it in the future.
Here are the screenshots:

Edit: It seemed to be fixed when I destroyed the grindstone and replaced I am front of my original blacksmith the con being that he was no where near the blacksmith building so I still need a way to get him to his original place to work.

At first I thought I had to be on my skis or a penguin to cloud surf, and that the heavier yeti or snowmobile would crash right through. Then I managed to surf a cloud on a snowmobile, totally by accident. (I haven't been able to do it again.)

So: what's the method? Does it have more to do with the angle at which I hit the cloud, the "vehicle" I'm riding, whether or not I'm boosting, the speed I'm going... etc? What's the trick?

I am attempting to modify a /summon command to add an enchantment. My command looks like this:

summon item 8 62 -13 {Item:{id:minecraft:bow,Count:1}}

I have tried modifying the command like this:

summon item 8 62 -13 {Item:{id:minecraft:bow,Count:1,ench:[{id:19,lvl:1}]}}

But it does not apply any enchantments.


texts: My peak internet download quota is a bit small at the moment, but I have a decent amount of offpeak quota. Unfortunately the offpeak period is from 2am-8am, and I don't really want to stay up that late just to kick off a download. Is is possible to schedule the Diablo 3 download to occur at a certain time?


texts: Which four items will give Varus his maximum damage potential?

texts:
Varus the archer is on his way into the fields of justice and has some interesting scaling that I'm having trouble groking. The problem I'm running into is conceiving of an item build which optimizes his damage with 4 items (which drops you as a glass-cannon in mid-game or allows for a couple of defensive items to be picked up as part of your complete build).

Obviously, we all (had best) agree that item builds are situational. What I'm looking for is just a base-case situation against, say, some trees or rocks standing around. Forget about the other team's resistances, items, runes, and masteries; just focus on Varus dishing out as much raw damage as possible. We can all adjust when we play.

Feel free to use any/all of the following assumptions:

Level 18
Anything that retains its stacks can be fully stacked, since that's your presumption when you acquire it. Rageblade, for instance, does not retain its stacks, so don't presume it would be stacked in any given engagement
No runes or masteries. Any adjustments from the obvious case of an offensively-specialized set are unlikely to change your item build around.

The short version: Which 4 items give Varus the greatest damage output over, say, 5 seconds? Feel free to answer for either including AoE damage or damage to a single target, but I personally think single target ends up being more telling.

I've scraped together a couple of references that might be helpful, but weren't exactly sufficient to answer my question:

Varus' page on the League of Legenda Wikia which has his base stats, base scaling, and ability information
GGChronicle's hands-on discussion from PAX which gives some real experiential discussion of Varus


texts: How do you play as commander as an alien (Kharaa)?

texts: This, erm, may be a stupid question, but how do you play as the commander on the alien team?  They don't have a structure to enter like the marines - I assumed it would just involve pressing 'e' on the hive, but I couldn't get that to work last night.

texts: Is there a way to fix air pollution in simcity?

texts: I've noticed that wind direction changes in the game and now my town is directly downwind from my industrial area, causing pollution and zombie attacks. Is there a way to get rid of the pollution? I'm already at the highest tech level for the industry, but my PPM are still significant.


texts: Can I visit my own garrison with an alt?

texts:
I have a character with a garrison.

Is there any way that I can visit this garrison with my alts (same server, same faction)?

Why do I want to do this? I have everything that I need/want in this garrison (bank, AH, void storage, portals, etc.) and being able to access it with my alts would be very useful to me. Much better than visiting major cities and needing to run all around them to get to what I need.

texts: Cannot start the "Strangers & Freaks" mission, game soft-locks right afterward

texts:
Basically having played a lot of GTA V, now I'm going back to redo missions and mess about.

I thought I'd try 'hunting' with Trevor, and when I try the strangers & freaks mission retry the Xbox 360 informs me that it needs to make a 'restore point' and is this ok? I click yes, the message repeats until I click 'no' and then it reverts to the character, immobile; unable to move, act or even be hit (it was fun listening to a biker near the bar insulting him for about 10 mins...)

I also have a similar problem where the game works just fine until I try to access the stock market with any character, after which almost all functionality is lost; and the game becomes 'drive around and shoot things.'

If I did not have such a profound love of this; it's cultural references, it's humor, and all of its other elements, it probably wouldn't bug me this much; but I do and would really like to not have these problems without having to begin again from the very start...
