texts: How to teleport all players from a specific world into another world?

texts:
I have a Paper-Server (1.16.4) with MultiversePlugin (and some other plugins, like EssentialsX) and multiple worlds.
Is there a command which can teleport all players of a specific world into another world?
something like (only example!):/teleport @allPlayers:World2 to world:World3


texts:
Okay, so I built a residential apartment which was supposed to be the Talz apartment building. But all that shows after construction is a starry background with "Impostor" graffitied across in red. What the hell is going on?

Note: I have still been able to move residents into the building.


texts:
Is there an "Goto Idle Worker" function in Starcraft I, an idle worker indicator, or an idle worker count?

Note: Not Starcraft II, this about the 1998 game.


texts:
Can I destroy the shield on a portal before all resonators?

If yes, what is the best way to do that? Launch XMP burster on the location of portal? Or just attack resonators and the shield will be destroyed?


texts: Does the Personal Refiner have a suggested inventory/slot to be installed?

texts:
Just unlocked the Personal Refiner, and while installing it a note stated that if I place it near the right items I can improve it, or something like that.
So, is there a suggested inventory or slot to install the Refiner? Which items make a synergy with it?


texts: What is better to have? A pokemon with higher IV but lower CP or vice versa?

texts:
Me and my friends have encountered this situation many times.
We need to decide which Pokemon to evolve.
Take the following scenario:

Growlithe A: 20% more CP than Growlithe B. (898 instead of 743).
Growlithe B: 26% more IV than Growlithe A. (87 instead of 69 in this case).

I didn't give more details about each Pokemon because I'd like a general answer that others can use.

Thank you kind folks!

P.S this is not a duplicate, since I understand what a higher IV interprets into.

Yes, a higher IV will define the MAX CP, but it's not the only thing to consider. A higher IV also means better chance of better moves for the evolved pokemon - and those are much more important than a high CP. Also consider that I have many Arcanines and I don't have the stardust to max them out (that is a different question).


texts: What you get after completing Human Laboratory World?

texts: I am playing Mario Forever. And know how to get to human laboratory but I am not getting past of it, but that's not my question. What we get after completing human laboratory level? Any special powerups or extra live?


texts: Can I change the order of my weapons in Bioshock 2?

texts:
Every time I take a picture of an enemy it takes a few changes to get to a good weapon.

Can I change the order if weapons on the PS3/360 version?


texts: How can I increase my war score when the enemy is fully conquered?

texts:
I am fighting an enemy and I set just a single war goal with score 94. I already destroyed all their fleets and all their spaceports and I'm occupying all their planets, but I still haven't reached that score, and so I can't finish that war with any advantage.

Is there anything else I can do to increase my war score score, other than waiting? For instance, should I bother hunting down all their non-military stations?


texts: Is it possible for opposite-gendered Pokemon to show up in a chain?

texts:
I'm trying to catch a female Salandit, I've tried with the chains when one Pokemon calls another, but I spent like 1 or 2 hours, and not a single female appeared.

I don't know if it's possible or if they are going to keep being male again and again.


texts: is there any way for me to log in to minecraft with no email?

texts: I have forgotten the email I signed up with but am still logged in to my account, however this is an old pc and I just got a new one but I just cant log in, is there any way for me to get back in to this account?


texts: What combo are ultralisks good against in WoL?

texts:
I find that when coming up against a large Marine/Marauder group I often lose even when I have about 10 ultralisks.

It is only in a few situations, in late 4v4 games, that I have been able to go for ultralisks, but then they just died instantly.

I probably made some tactical mistakes, but I want to learn when to go for ultralisks and what combo they're good against in WoL?


texts:
Is there an optimal altitude profile for an SSTO spaceplane? I'm guessing it might depend on the mass and lift profiles, but I'm looking for a general outline, if possible.

By altitude profile, I'm thinking altitude vs time vs speed to get an SSTO into orbit.


texts:
In RAGE, I have heard that there is a secret level as a homage to id Software's game Wolfenstein 3D.

texts: Halloween 2013 and 2014 events feature magic spells, which can be cast if the player equipped a Spellbook. I've done so, but how does one actually cast a spell?


texts:
Ever since Niantic increased the spawn rate of rare Pokémon, it seems like most gyms I find are protected by a Snorlax. When I battle these gyms; even when the gym only has one Pokémon, I tend to run out of time during the battle.

I try to select Pokémon that will give me type advantage, and do my best to dodge attacks.  Despite my best efforts, I always seem to run out of time before I can win.

Am I playing wrong?  Should I simply spam attacks, and not worry about all my Pokémon getting knocked out?

As an example, a recent gym was protected by a 1900 CP Snorlax, and I was attacking with 1200 - 1300 CP Pokémon with fighting moves. My attacks were "super effective", but I was still unable to widdle down the Snorlax before time ran out.


texts: The Walking Dead - can I improve my course of the game?

texts:
Does backing up to a certain stage in the past games keep even earlier actions, and can I improve those that have already been made?

For example: I did A and after it I did B. When I come back to the point with situation B will it keep A and allow me to make a different choice for B? (For example: giving someone a different answer) Or is it nothing that can be corrected during the game?


texts: Is it possible to check the log before a crash?

texts:
In Kerbal Space Program you get a "Crash Log" after your rocket disintegrates.

I'd like to see this log, before my spacecraft actually crashed. I can see the debug console by pressing Alt + F2. But that's not what I really need.

Is it even possible to get the "Flight Log" as I like to call it?


texts: It appears that the mechanics in this game are completely unmerciful to the losers. Once you start to lose your footing (research points, high ground positions, etc.) it seems to lead to a slow and painful death. I may have only played a few games but I haven't seen any big comebacks from a losing position. So I ask, what are some things you can do to stop your team from losing and start gaining some ground?


texts: Does the 1.3.0 update fix the Android retail dream job bitizen max level bug?

texts:
Prior to the 1.3.0 release on 2/6/14, there was a bug on Android where the highest level you could get for a bitizen whose dream job was a retail floor was 8.

I want to know if you are now able to obtain a bitizen whose dream job is a retail floor with a level of 9 instead of 8 as a result of this update.


texts: What items can be compacted into blocks?

texts: In Minecraft there are several items that can be placed together in a 3x3 or 2x2 block to create a "block of _____". I've seen it done with Redstone, Coal, Wheat, and Lapis. What other items can be compressed into blocks so that inventory and chest space can be reduced? I have researched many times and always end up finding one or two new items. What is the full list of compact-able items?


texts: How is the language code in Fez intended to be solved?

texts:
A lot of text in Fez is encoded, including text from a number of NPCs. I'd assumed that you have to do something in-game to unlock the translation, but I haven't come across anything of the sort yet. Is there a Rosetta Stone-style resource in the game, or is the player actually intended to use cryptographic methods to solve the substitution?

Note that I'm not asking for a translation resource. I want to solve this puzzle myself, but I'd like to know if I actually should have been copying the tiny text from all those NPCs I encountered.


texts: What should I do when encircled by competitors?

texts:
Situation A: I am facing a mighty competitor who has built a transcontinental railroad from east to west. Such a railroad blocks my expansion plans from north to south, because rail lines cannot cross.

Situation B: In a dense region with lots of cities, I have a rail line between two cities. However, I am quickly surrounded by other railroads servicing other nearby cities, and all these competitor rail lines have encircled me. It is impossible to expand.

If I am facing any of the situations above, how can I expand?

texts:
Like the title says, I am unable to craft a manual for the Industrial Foregoing mod. I am using Minecraft Java Edition 1.16.3.
The recipe is supposed to be 1 paper and 1 of any wood. I cannot craft it, and in creative mode I cannot find it anywhere.

texts: Are enemy drops affected by player death?

texts:
I've been wondering if the loot dropped by a boss/sub-boss/badass is affected by you dying before killing it?

I'm wondering because my boss-loot is usually pretty crappy, most of my unique/legendary items having been box-drops.


texts: Can I still mini-crit with the Detonator if my hit is not direct?

texts:
If I fire my Detonator at a flaming opponent, I automatically get a free mini-crit (45 damage), but,  if I fire my Detonator and then right-click to manually detonate it, am I still guaranteed the mini-crit, or do I do normal damage?

The reason I am confused is that, according to the TF2 wiki, mini-crits are not affected by damage falloff (meaning that I should, in theory, always deal mini-crits with my Detonator to burning foes, regardless of whether the hit was direct or indirect), but, sometimes I've noticed that indirectly hitting burning foes only seems to deal 10 damage.

Could I get a clear answer to this?


texts:
Upon entering any given minecraft server, after a minute or two I am forced out of the server, and I'm given the following error:

java.io.IOException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

What does this mean, and how can I prevent it from happening again?


texts: King of the Hill / Rewards for Area Control in Minecraft

texts:
I'm working on setting up a highly modified bukkit pvp server. I want to establish goals that people can fight for, and be rewarded appropriately, on an ongoing basis.

One of the ideas I had is rewarding teams with items and/or currency if they keep greater than 5 (or some other number) players on that team within a certain radius of a point. So if they're controlling a "hill" then they get rewards every few hours.

Are there any bukkit mods that I can use to create a game in minecraft like this?


texts: How to prevent all hostile mobs from spawning except for skeletons

texts: I am trying to make a map where only skeletons and non-hostile mobs are able to spawn. Is there a command that can do this? I don't want a redstone clock because that will lag my game and spam the chat. I am using 1.10.2.


texts: How to change account in Steam-version of AirMech?

texts:
Few years ago, I created AirMech account on its Chrome app using Google oAuth. I played it for a while making a nice progress in it.

Yesterday, I downloaded AirMech beta from Steam and hit Create Account by mistake instead of Login (I did forget about my old account). I was just asked for username (no email or password).

Now, I want to use my old account. After unable to find logout or change account option, I even removed local content and re-downloaded the game again using Steam. But, the game is automatically logging in with new username.

How to change account in steam-version of AirMech?


texts: How to run Telltale games with PS3 controller?

texts:
Using MotioninJoy, I have been using a PS3 controller on Steam with games like Rayman Legends, Don't Starve, Rogue Legacy and a few others. Even Steam Big Picture Mode recognizes the controller and works fine with it.

It works fine for those games wired and wireless. But when it comes to The Walking Dead or The Wolf Among us it just doesnt work. Those games do not even offer any options under the "CONTROLS" option.

This is wierd because on steam it says "Full controller support" for TWAU and "Partial controller support" for TWD.

Does this only work with wired 360-Controllers or is there some work around to make this work?


texts: Blue screen of death while playing PES 2012?

texts:
While playing PES 2012 suddenly after a goal all players turned black I paused the game after a minute or something the game started repeating the same par of sound then it showed a BSOD (blue screen of death).

My PC specs :

CPU                : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz
GPU                : Nvidia GeForce 7300 GS
GPU Driver version : 301.42
Ram                : 2 X 1GB
OS                 : Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (build 2600)
Sound Card         : Realtek High Definition Audio

The BSOD :

I've already searched for the error code , they tell me to turn off hardware acceleration but after I turn it off and restart every thing goes worse (Display driver not working, all games say that I have a 16MB video card)

So I enabled hardware acceleration again and now it's working just as it was.

I have also been advised to disable write combining (I don't know what is this) but it doesn't do anything.


texts: Does the numbing traps passive from multiple Demon Hunters stack?

texts:
The numbing traps passive text reads:

Enemies you Slow or hit with Fan of Knives, Spike Trap, Caltrops, Grenades,
and Sentry fire have their damage reduced by 25% for 3 seconds.

Let's say you're in a game with 4 Demon Hunters, all running the numbing traps passive. Would the damage reduction from these passives stack? If so, I'm assuming they stack multiplicatively.


texts: I have salvaged quite a few items to extract "precious" minor runes. Sadly my bank has become quite cluttered with runes now. Is there a way to combine say 3 of the same rune to get the next level? Or can I put 4 into the mystic forge and get a new possibly higher teir rune?


texts: Is it possible to make everyone die once one player dies in Minecraft Bedrock?

texts: I recently watched a Slimecicle video, that took place in Minecraft Java, which kills everyone in-game when one person dies. I saw someone got an answer to pretty much the same question, but they had Java. All of my friends don't have Java like I do, and I really want to try it out with them. Is there a way I can do this without MC Java? Thanks!


texts: How do you move an NPC's housing flag in Terraria?


texts:
Every time I try to connect to a Minecraft server it says, "logging in..." forever.
When I scroll over the server in my multiplayer screen, it says no connection.

How do I fix this?

P.S. I have already tried making a firewall rule.

texts: Ether Drake Hatchling / Dragonscale Armor with Habitat

texts:
According to the wiki page https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Spaceborne_aliens#Ether_Drake

  The planet it guarded, Dragon's Hoard, is a very wealthy planet with
  +30 Energy and Minerals. Putting a mining station on it will eventually provide two special rewards (MTTH 600 months): Enable
  researching of Tech Artificial Dragonscales, the only
  Level 6 Armor. Discover a Dragon Egg and get the option to smash it
  for 300 Influence or issue a special project to incubate the egg and
  hatch a Young Drake. The Young Drake has between 14k and 16k fleet
  power.

My question is if you build a habitat on the Dragon's Hoard instead of a mining station, is it still possible to get the Artificial Dragonscales tech or the Ether drake?


texts: Jungler or Support in Twisted Threeline (3v3 map)

texts:
I play a lot of 3v3 ranked (currently gold I) and I noticed that sometimes a team would have a jungler, and sometimes a support that will assist one of his teammate bot or top.

I was wondering what are the advantages and disadvantages of using both strategy, and in which situation would one work best?

Thanks

texts: Is there any indicator for squad health on the main HUD?

texts:
Looking at the main HUD of the game, there seems to be no indicator of squad health, only their picture (which doesn't seem to indicate anything other than dead) and Shepard's health/shields (for obvious reasons).  Pausing the game does not seem to bring up any indicator either.

The only thing I could find was the actual health levels in the Squad menu, but this is nonideal in the heat of combat in order to glance at who is about to die.  Any idea if there is a way to display them without a mod, or is it something planned in a future patch?


texts:
I would really like to know if it's possible to track "how high" the player is and link it to another command.

For example, if the player is above or crossed height level of 240, it would trigger a set of commands (tp ~ ~-100 ~ as an example).


texts: Can diseases affect NPCs and creatures in Skyrim?

texts:
Can any non-player character of any race in Skyrim acquire a disease effect through an attack, trap, or other source?  (The obvious case is a familiar, since wolves can give the player rockjoint.)  If so, do they take the associated penalties?

This includes enemy NPCs, neutral NPCs, and friendly NPCs like followers.  Circumstantial evidence like the lack of disease resistance on NPCs where it would be expected, like vampires, suggests the answer is no.


texts: How to complete challenge 2 of Knight Squad?

texts: In the challenge section of Knight Squad, I cannot complete the second challenge. (Which is where you have to kill all 4 worms) I hit the tails of the worms to make them curl up, but then nothing happens and I just eventually die. I have no idea how to complete this challenge.

texts:
So Chromaggus's effect is such that every successive card that is drawn will have the player draw two copies of it.

If a player draws into fatigue with Chromaggus in play does it act as a 'card' and hence deal the same amount of damage during fatigue ( 1 and then 1) or will it draw increasing damage through fatigue (1 and then 2).


texts: How to beat the Rat King in the eastern room?

texts:
When you get belowdecks in the Sinking Ship mission, there's a point where you come to a door and get one of those video game warnings, "the Rat King is in there, if you go in you'll set off the final battle for this mission".  So I didn't go in, because there was still stuff to do.  Eventually I ended up in the eastern room where the Matrix terminal is, and used it to arm the scuttling charges.  However, this causes the Rat King to show up and attack.

Partway through the battle, the Rat King raises an invincible magical shield.  It's implied that you need to get Gobbet to steal the Shiny Object from the Rat King's room in order to break the shield, but I'm not in the Rat King's room, and the doors out of the room I'm in are locked.  So how do I beat the Rat King?  (Or is it unwinnable in this situation?  I've already run into one bug where being in the wrong room when combat locks down the doors ends up making it impossible to progress, so it wouldn't surprise me to find a second one.)

texts: Minecraft server running, port open in nmap, but connection refused from outside the LAN

texts:
I have a Minecraft Server running on a computer of my LAN. It's the actual minecraft_server.jar, not a shared single player world, and I can connect to it from other devices on the LAN. I opened its port in the firewall and set up port forwarding so that it's accessible from the outside.

However, from outside the LAN, I get "connection refused". Online scanners (like this one) say that the Minecraft Server port is open and can even detect the version of Minecraft, so the port seems to be forwarded correctly (I set it up in the router's settings), so I really don't understand how the connection can be refused.

The exact message I get is "Connection refused : no further information".

The server's server.properties file is the default one, with juste the difficulty changed to 2.

What can cause this "Connection refused" message ?


texts: Is gaining vehicle skills affected at all by pulling off risky manoeuvres?

texts:
I've always thought that vehicle skills in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas were just a factor of how much time you spent driving/riding and the amount of distance you travelled.

However I've been paying more attention of late, and I have noticed most of the time when I go up in skills is directly after I've just pulled off some massive feat, like jumping off a cliff on a motorbike and landing it perfectly, or sent flying in a car and land on all four wheels, facing the right way.

I'm not just talking about performing 'Insane Stunts' either, although they are not completely excluded, given the nature of most jumps

There are other things that seems to boost your skills quicker as well - entering (and completing) driving/riding school missions, car rallies.

Now it could just be coincidence, but it has happened a fair few times - both with bikes and cars. Is there any evidence to support this?


texts: Skyrim Mod Organizer, hearthfires.esm is grey instead of white?

texts:
I haven't been using Mod Organizer for very long. I started modding with a lot of graphics mods. Now I have the three DLC's, but when I click on the Plugins tab, on the right my Dragonborn.esm and Dawnguard.esm plugins have white text but Hearthfires.esm has grey text. I'm worried that Mod Organizer isn't viewing Hearthfires.esm as a master file, which it supposedly should be, and that this will create some problems with my mods, especially ELFX.

Tl;dr-In the Plugins Tab on Mod Organizer should Hearthfires.esm have grey text or white text?


texts:
I've played almost the entire Silent Hill series, one of the games that impressed me the most is Silent Hill 2 not only by the twisted plot but by the most horrific antagonist, Pyramid Head.

So as the title says, Who or What is Pyramid Head? (Either in Silent Hill 2 or the Silent Hill Series).

texts: How can I tell what the hundreds/thousands digits are in a players level?

texts:
Since Heroes of the Storm 2.0 dropped, player levels are now determined by their character levels.

What do the various number colors and borders mean level-wise?


texts:
I'm trying to optimize my road system a bit, mostly converting regular small roads into one-way roads. But the only way I can see to do that is to remove the old road entirely and build a new one. I can't seem to just build over the old one.

I can understand that limitation in cases where the new road type is larger, but it should be possible to upgrade to roads with the same size without tearing down the old road manually.

Is there an easier way to convert or upgrade roads, or do I have to manually remove the existing road every time?

texts: Is the Orange Guidance Soapstone item consumable?

texts:
I've seen that the first merchant found in Undead Burg is selling the Orange Guidance Soapstone item. The in-game description of the item is:

  Online play item.
  Write/view/rate message.

  Messages transmit to other worlds, where they
  are rated. Also, rate messages of others.

  In Lordran, the flow of time is distorted,
  and messages allow Undead to assist
  (or deceive) one another.

So, it appear that in contrast to Demon's Souls, I need this item to leave message to other players. What I'm wondering is whether or not this is a consumable item? Will I need to buy a new one each time I want to leave or rate a message?

And isn't the description misleading? Because, I've not yet bought it, but I'm already able to see some message on the ground.

Also, I am china and china gets a 60% tech boost on eurekas. I started one turn of bronze working and now the bar is blue same as the wheel.

I decided to research for one turn Masonry but the bar did not go blue.


texts: Human caravan ignoring accessible Trade Depot

texts:
A human caravan just has entered and leaved my map, without even trying to get to my Trade Depot. No special announcements are issued at that time. I've checked Depot accessibility, and as you can see from the screenshot, it's perfectly accessible.

Here is my save file (for DF v0.34.03)

Have I done anything wrong? I don't want to lose the dwarven caravan arriving this autumn like this. There are so many crafts to be sold!


texts: Liberated Minor Races not available in the diplomatic screen?

texts:
As the Romulans asked it, I took the opportunity to declare war onto the Cardassians. For the most part to get a hold of the Bandi, which were right at my borders. As it's the nature of the Cardassians, they had taken the Bandi by force, so I needed to liberate the system.

So far so good, the Bandi thanked me for taking steps which fit into their future plans...but they are not available anymore as a Minor Race in the diplomatic screen. Their system shows up as not occupied by anyone, they're still there but are not available for diplomatic interactions.

I can remember from a long time ago, that I ran into this problem...do I have to take them by force or did I miss something?


texts:
In Hitman: Blood Money guards can discover dead bodies, which has the effect of raising general suspicion and potentially blowing your disguise (as well as lowering your rating at the end of the mission). While there are specific "body dumps" (such as freezers or cliffs) these can be sparse.

Are bodies only discovered by guards on their default patrol routes, or is there a hidden timer that counts down until a body "in plain sight" (even if hidden in a side room) is discovered?

In addition: does this void the guarantee?

Thanks.

texts:
If both teams in a Heroes of the Storm match have a Zagara player, does each Zagara benefit from creep spread by her enemy counterpart?

Put another way: is creep a neutral terrain modifier in this game (as it is in StarCraft), or does creep "belong" to a particular character/team?

texts: How can I keep my pops happy and avoid constant unrest

texts:
Stellaris on steam:

My tech and development was always way behind all of the AI ones so i set things to Huge 4-spiral galaxy with only one AI. I did so to learn the dynamics. Well, I can't expand once four planets are colonized or there about, my citizens become enraged and productivity drops to nothing.  4 science ships were set up and 2 construction ships and roughly 40% of the galaxy explored still fighting the now 5 angry colonized systems. Some with multiple planets. This was tried no less than 5 times with the same result.  All of my colonies become havens of unrest. I can never cause them to stop being in unrest. eventually some presatient species gets space flight and in very little time it has 5 then 10 then 20 systems colonized and tech that surpasses mine all very quickly.

So how is it possible to make people happy and actually gain tech?  Is the AI built to cripple the human player? This is nothing less than frustrating. How does anyone build an empire in this game. Even if the enemies are taken away your citizens won't allow it.

Please actually explain how you are keeping citizens happy. I watched some youtube videos on it and people generally discuss where you see it and setting cultural objectives, but it's all too generic to tell what they have really done.  Trying different social policies and watching the areas that indicate populace mood does not change the fact that once there are 4 to 5 systems owned all the citizens become raged and the tech and progress is crippled to the point of unworkable. If that is how this game is supposed to be then I wasted my money on it.

Please explain how it is possible to keep people happy and build an empire.

I have a strange thing happening - dwellers I send to explore wasteland are automatically returning to vault after finding a little amount of items (4 or 5).

The exploration log says: "That's as much as I can carry. I better head back and show the Overseer what I found".

Before today they successfully carried up to 30 items and never returned to vault on their own.

I don't know is it relevant or not, but I have a lot of free storage space available.

texts: What can cause the left analog stick to drift on relatively new controller

texts:
My gamepad started malfunctioning after just three months of use. First, the left analog stick would slowly return to zero after being tilted to the topmost position, but only if it's tilted far enough forward to touch the edge of its socket. Later it deteriorated to just drifting down from centre position.

It does not drift in any position other than topmost and centre, or if I push the stick downward.

In this specific case, the gamepad is a Saitek Cyborg V5 Rumblepad, which allows to flip the stick and d-pad around. Drifting is observed in both possible configurations.

I tested it on two different computers, both display similar readings.

What can cause such a problem, and how can it be fixed, if at all?

I've finally gotten a replacement of same make and model. I put the new stick-and-d-pad module in the old gamepad, and it's working fine. Therefore, the analog stick itself is likely the problem, not the rest of the gamepad or connection between the two parts. Since that even before this, I lost another gamepad (completely different model and manufacturer, much cheaper) to the same malfunction, I now have reasons to believe that the majority of analog stick modules themselves - like the bit for the Arduino, pictured below - is manufactured by a single entity, and quality control is handled by the gamepad manufacturers themselves. But I digress.

I'm now curious about how this thing works (description for the same Arduino part at http://www.tinkerkit.com/joystick/ says it's a pair of potentiometers - simple enough), how it can be disassembled, maintained, repaired and reassembled, if at all.

texts: What's the difference between Puyo Puyo Tetris and Puyo Puyo Tetris S?

texts:
When I was looking for Puyo Puyo Tetris on Amazon, I saw a game called "Puyo Puyo Tetris S" ("ぷよぷよテトリスS"). It was a Japanese import.

I couldn't find much information about it online other than the fact that it was for Nintendo Switch only, and I even went as far as getting the demo for it, but the only difference I can see is that it's in Japanese (and that the vibrations are much stronger for some reason).

Is the only difference between them just regions? Was the game "Puyo Puyo Tetris S" simply re-released under the name "Puyo Puyo Tetris" to western audiences?

texts: Need clarification on the Bioshock Infinite ending

texts:
Spoilers:

   In the end, Elizabeth and Booker realize that Booker becomes Comstock at the baptism turning point, but in an alternate reality remains the Booker Dewitt we know in the story. It is in the latter reality (Booker Dewitt's) that Booker births Anna. This event in the sequence would have to have been after the baptism turning point, and thus with Booker dying, he could not have had Anna in that reality, he would not have become Comstock in the alternate one, and he could not have joined with the Lutece's and would not have founded Columbia. So, in the end, shouldn't Booker, Comstock, Anna (Elizabeth), Columbia itself, and any other realities connected to them not exist past the baptism?

texts: Minecraft setblock chest cannot use replace

texts:
I am aware that ordinarily in Minecraft one can use:

\setblock x y z minecraft:block0 0 replace minecraft:blockname1

to set a block with the ID name: block0 on the coordinate, but only if the block which was before has ID name: block1; this does however not seem to be the case if the block I desire to set is chest (or other blocks which can contain things, such as for instance hoppers). If I type

\setblock x y z minecraft:chest

it works fine

\setblock x y z minecraft:chest 0 replace

works as well; however

\setblock x y z minecraft:chest 0 replace minecraft:block1

(of course I don't write block1, I instead use any real blockname)

fails with the error message:

Data tag parsing failed: Invalid tag encountered, expected '{' as first char.

I have (obviously) attempted this:

\setblock x y z minecraft:chest 0 {} replace minecraft:block1

Which does cause chest to be placed, but it does however not only do if the block that was there before had ID name: block1.

My question: Is there a way to use the setblock command to set a chest (or other item containing blocks) but only if it replaces a specific other block?

Is it because I started the world on 1.16.1 and then changed to 1.16.4?

Is there a way to make him "friendly" again and follow my commands all the time?

EDIT: I noticed the disobedience at level 36 but I don't know exactly at what level he started to react that way.

I think it would be a shame to create a very high defence settlement, armed to the teeth, if it were never going to be attacked so that you could witness those defences in action.

So here is my situation:

I downloaded "Slime Rancher" on Steam on a Mac computer. When I try to play it on my new PC, it is very, very slow. My suspicion is that it is because I downloaded a Mac version, and I need to buy the PC version for it to work.

If I buy the game again, I would assume it wouldn't save my progress, so my question is: Can I transfer the game files between the two?

(Also keep in mind I don't really know anything about Steam, so it could be a completely different problem.)


texts: Strange automatic province acquisition (possible bug)

texts:
I have EU4 without most of the DLC (if specifics are important, I'll check them and update the question). For as long as I can remember, I had a mechanism in place that I cannot grasp.

In my wars, when I siege and conquer other provinces, the color of the province changes from its original color to its color with diagonal stripes in my color, as to indicate that I'm currently holding it.

Now, I can remember this happening many times, it sometimes happens that one of the conquered provinces suddenly changes the color, from striped with my color to only my color. From this point on, the province seems to belong to me: Clicking on it allows me to build and/or change anything that I would normally be able to on my own provinces. The tooltip shows my name (as in "Province" "My empire's name"), just as all other provinces owned by me do.

However: The province still exists as an entity. It appears in the country list, it has a value representing how much it likes/dislikes me, and vice versa. It makes requests of me, offers me a royal marriage and the like.

I can say that when I had the problem yesterday, there were no other parties on my side involved in the war, so it cannot have been a partner peacing out.

Can anybody identify this problem? Is this a game mechanism that I'm not aware of? I watched some videos of people playing EU4, and have never seen that happening to any of them (Quill, Shen, Arumba).

If I end up having to leave my 4th agent behind on a mission, does the next rescue mission have that agent being held prisoner, or is it a new random agent, or is it a sellable hostage?

texts: How can I run Dwarf Fortress in text mode on my Linux VPS?

texts:
I installed Dwarf Fortress on my Linux VPS to use with dfterm. It's running Ubuntu 10.04. I'm fairly certain I have all the dependencies:

I've installed:

ncurses
ncursesw

libgtk
libglu
libopenal1

I had to turn sound off or it will instantly segfault, and I set the display mode to text. I've made no other changes to the config.

However, even before I go near dfterm, it won't run properly. It just displays a blank screen. What could be causing this? Is their a dependency I missed? Is there something else I should have changed in the config?

EDIT: This has been asked and answered on the Ubuntu StackExchange.


texts: How can I watch 3DS Nintendo Video from another country?

texts:
I have an American 3DS, but I now live in Germany.  The stupid media-licensing pillowfights are ruining my day, again.

I just found out a bunch of great content is coming to Nintendo Video, and as far as I can tell there's no way for me to view it. When I try to download videos, it tells me they're "not available in this region", even though if I had a German 3DS I'd have no problem.

I know the 3DS has some kind of "proxy" settings in the wireless config, but I haven't been able to get it working.  I've tried open proxies from this list somebody linked to from a forum, and I have a SOCKS5 proxy running on my computer (executive summary: ssh -D8080 me@server-in-the.us) through which I've successfully watched a ton of Hulu and Netflix on the PC, but which I've never been able to figure out how to use with gaming consoles.

texts: I recently learned that it's possible to change the size of my embark site before starting a fortress, from the default 4x4 down to 1x1 and up to the size of the whole "Local" window, whatever that is.  I'm having trouble figuring out what might be the downside of using the largest possible map.  So, what is the price of getting all the extra space and resources?  Do the larger borders cause more goblins/fun to spawn?  Conversely, is there a good reason to use a smaller site?


texts: What could go wrong when transferring Minecraft data through an Xbox 360 data transfer cable?

texts:
I have an issue with a RRoD and my biggest consern is Minecraft - my precious worlds, my data... Is that also transferable? Because it may seem however that Minecraft is a little different from other games considering the fact that you only generate one very specific landscape and build the map up, while Fallout and all those other games have everything already built the same way on every game in the world.

My question is, if I use a data transfer cable to move everything, is all my data going to be transferred and put on the new hard drive the exact same way as it was on the Xbox? Same spawn point, same version, same worlds, same skins, clothing, and name? I've been anxious about this specific game for 4 months.


texts: Zombies found on minecraft server with mobs disabled

texts:
I'm pretty new to Minecraft having only just bought the game about a week ago, so apologies if I'm missing something obvious here (I've attempted to search for the answer, but didn't find any relevant results)

I've got a private minecraft server on my home network in survival mode with spawn-monsters disabled and normal difficulty, I've not seen any hostiles, or at least not until just now. I've just found a location in the world, deep underground, where I've found what was a fully enclosed pitch black room that was full of zombies. I got overwhelmed by them within seconds, but I did briefly notice a number of storage chests and other items within the room.

If it is relevant, I found the room by accident when I saw my first moss cobblestone. Not knowing exactly what the block was, I mined them thinking I'd found another resource, in doing so, this room was revealed.

I'm the only person that has played on the server (it's behind a firewall, and I stop and start the server on demand).

Is there any explanation for this? I didn't expect to see any hostiles at all with spawn-monsters option disabled. I'm going to head back as soon as I get chance, but was wondering what it might be?

Can somebody tell me how I can choose or is there no option to choose?


texts: Which first-tier talent for Chromie offers the biggest damage boost?

texts:
For the very first talent you can pick between 4 choices.

I was wondering what is the difference between Compounding Aether, Deep Breathing, and Timewalker's Pursuit in terms of damage.

Is it better to specialize into Dragon's Breath or Sand Blast for the corresponding damage boost?

Or should I use Timewalker's Pursuit for a flat 5% ability power?

Obviously there are various pros and cons to each choice with respect to other talents. I am trying to understand how effective the 5% ability power bonus is.


texts: Do zombies repopulate in areas you've already cleared out?

texts:
Do common infected return to areas of the level that have already been cleared out?

Based on my knowledge of the game's AI Director - who is responsible for spawning zombies - special zombies and hordes will come indefinitely. However, it wasn't made clear if common infected also load back in to the level after they've been killed.

For instance, in the second level of the Dead Center campaign The Streets if I were to kill all of the ambling common infected between the beginning safe room and the overpass' point-of-no-return could I then roam that section of the level with relative impunity from common infected?

Similarly, in the first level of the Death Toll campaign The Turnpike there aren't any points-of-no-return. If I killed all of the common infected could I explore that level freely?


texts: Minecraft Showing Different World Lists when Launched through Steam

texts:
Recently, my computer has been acting quite strangely.

My Minecraft saves list, server list and options menu have become bugged, and now display two different lists when either executed through Steam or not [I have linked Minecraft to Steam as a non-Steam game].

The 6 worlds on the longer list are my standard worlds, and used to load correctly when through Steam-related Minecraft and not. However, after a long while, neither of the Minecraft shortcuts displayed any worlds. I created 2 worlds for me and my friend to play on, as the old ones were seemingly removed [I should note that I can't access my %appdata% file, for some reason]. After about 3 weeks, I went back into Minecraft through Steam. When I looked through the saves, the 6 worlds were back. After that, I launched it regularly and it showed the 2 newer saves.

This doesn't need to be solved, it's completely fine as it is, I'd just like an explanation if there is one.

I cannot think of any reason why this is happening. There are two screenshots if you'd like further detail.


texts: If my disc is beyond repair, can I buy the game on XBox Live without losing my saves?

texts: Do Chie or the Protagonist get a free ATK 90+ weapon early in the game?

texts:
After beating Yukiko's Shadow, I went back into the TV World to train up, get more cash, and see if I could get some of my favorite Personas like Titania and Lilim. Going back into Yukiko's Castle, I was warned that there was a powerful Shadow so I went and fought it. After defeating it, I found a fan for Yukiko at the Throne with an ATK value of 90+ which was way better than her current fan (~20 ATK) or the one I was planning on buying her (~30 ATK).

After going back, I thought to talk to Yosuke and learned that I could go back to Saki-sempai's Family Store, where Yosuke's shadow was. Not only did I find an item for a quest, but I also found a pair of spanners as a weapon for him, which were about as strong as Yukiko's fan that I'd previously found.

I went back to Floor 2 of Yukiko's Caste where I'd fought Chie's Shadow, but I couldn't find a free weapon for her. I am wondering whether Chie or the Protagonist get free 90+ ATK weapons like what I have already found with Yukiko and Yosuke? If so, where am I supposed to find them?

I'm trying to have my Minecraft appdata folder on a different partition (from now on referred to as D:). This is what should be where:

texts:
I'm playing Bard's Tale 1 (remastered). My party is made up of a paladin (scale armor), fighter (scale armor), hunter (plate armor), rogue, bard, conjurer and magician. Everyone who can equip a tower shield, helmet and gloves has them. My bard can only heal 1 HP per round while in combat, and my magician runs out of spell points quickly. I frequently leave combat with my party barely alive.

The only way to cope with this is to spend gold on healing and on spell points from Roscoe's Emporium. Spending so much gold just to stay alive isn't normally required in modern RPGs.

Is this the only way to stay alive at low levels in Bard's Tale 1?

texts: In survival mode, does tending to needs before they reach critical levels make any difference?

texts:
I've been playing survival mode and it frustrates me to no end that I can't keep an eye on how thirsty, hungry, or tired I am. There is no way to know just how bad off my needs are until I am so deficient in one of those areas that I start taking penalties.

There's nothing like running a long way with intent to clear out a point of interest for a quest only to arrive and suddenly get drowsy because I haven't slept in a real bed for an arbitrary number of hours (and then there's no way to fix the problem because the only thing available nearby is a dirty mattress on the floor).

So, I wonder: Will drinking before you get parched, eating before you get peckish, and sleeping before you get tired stave off the negative effects before they can occur? Will performing these actions reset the timer in the game code that counts down until the negative effects happen, or will performing these actions before they are "necessary" just waste the effort?

texts: What is the correct ability to use in a Roach/Infestor vs Roach/Infestor battle?

texts: Lately, I have been seeing in Professional games and streams that Zerg players when in a ZvZ mid game battle where they have mainly roaches and infestors vs the mirror composition, they sometimes use fungles and other times spawn infested terrans. Whenever I play I typically randomly choose between the two. When a Bronze league friend of mine asked the other day, I was dumbfounded on what to tell him. Logically I always spawn infested terrans when I don't have enough energy left to Fungle. But pro games tend to not only spawn them when out of fungles. How should I differentiate when to use fungles vs terrans, etc.

texts: How to go back to world overview in So Many Me?

texts:
I've started playing So Many me. I'm just past the first boss, and explored the "Worlds Overview" a little bit, then I accidentally entered the string of levels I had already completed.

From such a level, how can I exit it and go back to the levels overview?

All I see is options to:

Restart Level
Exit Game (which quits the entire game, not the level)
"x10 Globe" where I can pick a level in my current world

The closest workaround I found is going to the last level of the current world with the "X10 Globe" option, and then finish that to go back here:

The fact that such a workaround is possible makes me feel it should also be possible to just go back immediately? I think I've tried nearly every button on my XBox 360 controller (I'm on PC, if that matters), but didn't find anything.

Any tips?

Do the Virtual Console releases only work with passwords for items and rings and the like? The game still mentions using a Game Link cable, but I am assuming that is because this is a direct port of the original.

Am I stuck just remembering passwords and secrets and writing them down to enter later? Or is there any other way to link the two games?

Do NPC Invasions count? Again, the wiki is vague on this topic and just states:

  It has a 10% chance to grow on the corpse again after each time you're invaded.

texts: Differences between Arma 2 Free and Arma 2 Demo

texts:
Trying to find more information about the DayZ mod, I learnt that the base game (Arma 2) appears to have 2 different 'free' versions, one enticingly labeled as 'Arma 2 Free' and also a seperate 'Demo' - however neither the official site nor Steam helped me figure out why anyone would go for the demo version.

To make things more confusing, the Steam download link for Arma 2 Free says 'Download Demo'. I'm aware that demo release was 2009 and Arma 2 Free was 2011; and the features not included in the free version.

So, what is the demo - and does the Steam download for Arma 2 Free actually install just the demo or the full 'Free' version that I could get from the developer's site?

texts: What is the Font Used in Pokemon Conquest?

texts:
What's the font used in Pokemon Conquest's dialogue? More specifically, since I assume it's some proprietary font compiled in the game, where have I seen it before? It looked extremely familiar as soon as I saw it.

Here's an example:

My first thought was Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I compared the letterforms, and they do seem to be mostly similar but with some slight differences. Even though the differences are subtle, the look and feel of the fonts looks visibly different, so I'm wondering if there's another game that I'm thinking of.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance: The lowercase a and t look identical. But the tail of the FFTA e curves up whereas the tail of the Pokemon e lies flat; the FFTA i has a very subtle serif, whereas the Pokemon i does not.

Im trying to copy a players inventory to a chest upon death but noticed that it only copies the hotbar and the first two rows of the inventory.
Command:

So now my plan is to copy certain parts of the inventory into two separate storage containers.
This has led to the problem where i am unable to select certain sections or specific items out if the player inventory and copy them into a chest.
I tried:
/data modify block ~ ~ ~ Items set from entity @p Inventory[{Slot:0b}]
/data modify block ~ ~ ~ Items set from entity @p Inventory.0
/data modify block ~ ~ ~ Items set from entity @p Inventory[0]
Let me know if there is something wrong with my code, or if I need to try a different approach.

texts: In Metal Gear Solid 3D, does the player lose the 3D effect as a narrative mechanic?

texts:
Rumours or anecdotes online have suggested the following but without a copy of the game to test I wanted to inquire as to its veracity:

In Metal Gear Solid 3 the player can switch between third and first person gameplay. In the 3DS port of the game one would reasonably expect the first person mode to use the 3D capabilities of the console - however said rumours implied that following the loss of Naked Snake's eye, the 3D effect is disabled to reflect his (and therefore the player's) loss of depth perception.

I haven't found a source with a definitive answer - is this true & accurate? It certainly seems in character for a game that has several other notable examples of Devs Think Of Everything, yet at the same time this mechanic means disabling the defining feature of the console, in effect making the entire port redundant!

Does the player's first person view on 3DS really reflect Naked Snake's loss of depth perception?

I've just completed the mission to retake the castle for the Minutemen. Preston was my follower before the mission, then left when it started to go to the meeting point.

After completing the mission he returned to Sanctuary and I can no longer speak to him, does anyone know if this is a bug, or there are subsequent quests I must complete to get him to follow me again?

Edit

I've since finished the old guns quest and I spoke to him to collect the reward but couldn't bring up any extra dialog with him.

I first noticed this when I was playing through "The Beacon," the last area. I looked up on the cliffside while walking along the beach, and was surprised to see what looked like a person looking down!

I thought perhaps I was mistaken about it being a ghost/person and that it was just another standing stone, however, when I arrived at the location along the path, there was no stone to be found...

After loading up the second area, "The Bouy"[sic], I then noticed this:

This one actually moved. When I first noticed it, it was running along the path where the arrow is, then stopped at the location I took the screenshot.

After standing there by the boat a few moments, I noticed something. The opacity of the "ghost" changes depending on where you were focusing your camera. The arrows show the distance from the edge of the camera.

I outlined it in this picture on the right because it's very, very faint.

Where else in the game can I find these "ghosts"? I'm looking for a full list of potential locations in one answer, please, not one-answer-per-location.

texts: What is the appropriate ratio of Medics to team size for most non-pro games?  I'm fairly sure one medic in twelve players isn't effective.


texts: Double Enchant - Second enchantment don't work (soul trap)

texts: I just got the "Extra Effect" perk and enchanted my one-handed axe with Health Absorb+Soul Trap, but the Soul Trap is not working. After killing enemies i don't trap the soul on the gem. Is this a bug? It's possible to have the soul trap as second enchantment?

texts: What is the condition to get a rampage in Dota 2

texts:
In Dota 2 we need to kill 5 enemy heroes in a short time. But what is the exact time? Or do we need to kill each hero within 10 seconds from the previous one?

I don't find any official documentation on that.


texts: How to know if there is any iron ore on the map?

texts:
From reading the wiki, it seems that iron ores can be found in layers consisting of chalk. I've now mined out almost two complete layers of chalk, and found nothing but gems. Is it possible that my map doesn't have any iron ore, or am I misunderstanding how to find the ore?

The first couple of layers consist of chalk, so that's where I'm digging. Unfortunately the strip mining makes the fortress quite ugly, as that's where I've got my workshops. The lower levels have mainly phyllite and schist.

texts: Does shadow kill increase amount of plague in the city?

texts:
So I have been reading some Q/A here on gaming.stackexchange for dishonored and in the middle of it I thought to myself "Does shadow killing increase the amount of weepers, rats and overall plague in the city?" The reason I thought this is because if the dead bodies turn to ash then there is nothing for the rats to feast on and no disease to spread.

Side question: Does killing weepers decrease the amount of plague?
