texts: How does the campaign award difficulty medals in Anno 1404?

texts:
I'm not sure how exactly the campaign counts difficulty completion. Rather than choosing the difficulty for the entire campaign, you choose the difficulty for individual missions, as seen below. In that screenshot, I've completed the first 3 missions in the campaign on Easy. If I were to switch to Medium for one mission, what would happen when I finish the campaign? Will it take the majority of missions I've completed on a certain difficulty?

In the medal section, there's a series of medals from bronze to gold for completing all campaign missions. If I complete the campaign on Medium, will I be rewarded the silver Medium medal and the bronze Easy medal, or will I have to do a separate playthrough on Easy?

I can't find anywhere ingame where it explains how exactly the difficulty works in regards to overall campaign progress and medal awards.

Melon slices, which fill 1 slot of the hunger bar (or one Drumstick), would be perfect for keeping me full.

What's the fastest way to find melons?

texts:
For reasons I'd rather not go into, I recently found myself Unwelcome at the University. Undeterred, I resolved to work my way back in by restoring my academic reputation, and what better place to do so than the Unterzee.
I acquired a rather dubious vessel, and soon enough I was Embarking on a Voyage of Scientific Discovery!

Unfortunately, after that things get somewhat murky. I emerged from a brandy-induced stupor some time later to find myself on land, with only two-thirds of my notes. Perhaps I burned the rest, perhaps brigands stole them... In any case, returning to Wolfstack shows no sign of my ship moored anywhere.

How can I find my errant ship and crew and continue my scientific endeavours?


texts: How can you make an armor that has infinite protection armor?

texts:
When I was using the new attribute command, I saw an attribute called "armor." I don't know what it actually does, but I think it has to do with protection. I was wondering if I could make an armor that has infinite protection so I tried to make a command:
give @s netherite_helmet{AttributeModifiers:[{AttributeName:"generic.armor",Name:"generic.armor",Amount:1.79769313486232E+308d,Operation:0,UUID:[I;439,684,724,99]},Slot:"head"}]}

I thought it would give me infinite protection, but it only gives me a helmet with the empty "protection" attribute. It works fine on older versions, but not on the 1.17 snapshots.


texts: How can I control a tower of redstone lamps?

texts:
So I think this is slightly related to this question but I'm not sure I fully understand the rules controlling lighting redstone lamps.

Say I have a tower like this:

Right now, I can light it up (as in the picture) by putting a redstone torch in the bottom middle and putting a solid block in the top middle.  Is there any way to light it up from a redstone signal?  If so, how?  If not, why not?

(I always seem to get really frustrated with redstone because it is so convoluted with so many corner cases...)

Also as an additional (not sure if possible) restraint, it'd be nice to be able to keep the redstone input within the 3x3 bounding box (coming from below).

texts: Lower voice transmit threshold for Xbox Live

texts:
Whenever I am in a party on Xbox live my friends ask me why I haven't said anything in so long. However I'm typically yacking away - unknowingly to myself. I have a stock Xbox mic, I've taken the foam off the end of it. I have a feeling there are two things that impact this:

I have a deep voice
I don't shout into the mic

If I raise my voice to a personally uncomfortable level then people can hear me again. Is there any way to lower the transmit threshold so I don't have to shout or put the mic down my throat?

What factors contribute to lowering your disease level?  What items can I use to either bolster my defense to it pre-infection, or fight it off after I've been infected?  I know there are anti-bodies, which drop poison levels; is there something similiar for disease?

texts: Does completing a location stop vehicles spawning?

texts:
The other day in JC2, I found a military base that keeps spawning fighter jets. Or at least, it was doing so initially when I discovered the base. Dozens of jets must have taken off while I softened the place up, tethered bad guys to the jets, tethered jets to the runway, etc. In due course I cleaned the place out, got the 'complete' banner, and moved on. Thing is when I went back there later, there weren't any more jets.

Would this base have kept spawning new jets if I hadn't completed it?  Or was there only a finite number of jets to begin with? I wanted to go back and try tying some vehicles to them!

(The base in question was Kem Sungai Sejuk at 17141, 12369).

texts: What is the optimal Weapon + Perk combo for Damage Per Second + Cheap Ammo in Fallout 76?

texts:
My current Fallout 76 character is specialised in semi-automatic rifles with stealth damage (Marksmen + Sandman). Which is great for general gameplay but is completely overwhelmed for multiple Scorchbeasts & the Scorchbeast Queen.

For DPS spamming I've been using an auto grenade launcher (with Demolition Expert V) but the ammo is quite "expensive" with 3 x springs per 9 x 40mm grenade (with the Ammosmith II perk). Springs are difficult to scavenge in large numbers & expensive to buy at 151 caps x 20 springs.

So I've been going through the wiki weapons table trying to work out a better loadout for fighting Scorchbeast & can't find anything better than the auto grenade launcher.

However, if feels like I'm missing something obvious (more/ different Perks? easy source of springs?) & was wondering if anyone has crunched the numbers properly to identify the optimal weapon + perk combo for maximum DPS, hopefully with cheap/ plentiful ammo.

It says that we have 1500% damage. Pet does 1500 % damage.

Does that work with sacrifice? Will sacrifice, that does 1000% damage do 1500% damage on top of that? So sacrifice would do 10x15x = 150 x your damage.

texts: How to decide later when a ship is captured but the dock is full?

texts:
I captured a man of war. Usually there are 3 options when the dock is full:

Scrap ship
Decide later
Scrap a ship from a fleet

I want to decide later. I have cheap frigates I can scrap but they are all on missions and I can't access them till I deal with this newly captured man of war.

So I was forced to scrap the man of war, which sucked.

Why do I sometimes have the choice to decide later and other times I don't?

inland tile with fresh water access, and
coastal tile with fresh water

texts: What happens if I kill Hakon, Gormaith Golden-Hilt and Felldir?

texts:
Hakon, Gormaith Golden-Hilt and Felldir are the 3 heroes that help you kill Alduin at the end of the main quest. All three of them are "un-killable" as they just fall down and then stand back up once all their health is drained. However, after a whole hour of determination I managed to get them all by the waterfall on the left of the map. I was then able to drain their health and use unrelenting force which caused them to fall down the waterfall; eventually they went down so far that they literally fell off the map and disappeared.

Now I'm wondering what will happen when I use any of the shouts that Tsun gives me:

Word of Power – Hero, Call of Valor
Word of Power – Champion, Call of Valor
Word of Power – Legend, Call of Valor

I wonder if they will still appear?
Has anyone else tried this?

Also, I am an idiot with no money and cannot use a waypoint.

While hunting tempered monsters, I try to pick up as many tracks and break as many parts of the monster as I can, in order to increase my chances of receiving another tempered investigation. Since not picking up tracks or not breaking monster parts doesn't give a chance at tempered investigations, the choice here is obvious.

It is also possible to receive an investigation when either slaying or capturing a monster. Does either of those methods offer better chances?

So does discussing with somebody and gifting them gifts change anything to the story? And does the person you talk to may change something?

texts:
Playing a lot of 3v3 lately and have been strictly Terran up until lately, swapping over to Zerg.

Zerg has been going great - I think it's a race that can only be as good as your ability to macro, which isn't a problem for me now that I've played for a while; problem I'm having with them is they seem to have nothing that will counter a reasonable fleet Void Rays.

Terran was fine if you had enough Marines, Vikings or Yamato power, Protoss is fine if you have pretty much any unit that can hit air that's not heavy (ie Carriers).

Hydralisks get wasted, you can't just hope to overpower them before they defeat you with Ultralisks because VRs slay them, can't use Neural Parasite because there're too many of them, Corruptors are plain useless, Mutas are too weak and have too little range which means you lose 20% of them just to get in range.

Am I missing something? A strategy along the lines of killing them before they get VRs or restricting their gas/teching isn't really viable in 3v3 unless your entire team is aggressive from the beginning - in which case you normally win anyway. This is a question for mid-late game.

Any suggestions would be awesome!


texts:
Is Sword of the Divine an item good enough on Riven that I should be considering running on her and replacing another one for example: The Bloodthirster, Hydra or Last Whisper?

I saw a video of BoxBox ( A  Diamond streamer that plays ONLY Riven, in case you don't know him ) and he tried to run Sword of the Divine on Riven. He wasn't that much ahead when he builded that item on her and he made a solo quadra kill, like, completely alone, outplaying everyone while activating this item to take out the the ADC and Yasuo almost instantly. So I'm thinking. If I'm able to execute the active of that item perfectly after some practice ( With perfectly I mean, when it's needed ), should I consider running this item instead of another one? And if yes with what should I replace it considering that my current build on Riven most of the time is:

Ionian Boots of Lucidity
Ravenous Hydra
The Black Cleaver
Last Whisper
The Bloodthirster
Guardian Angel

texts:
I play rocket league with a ps4 controller on PC and I would like to always use Bluetooth. When my controller battery is low, I would like to plug it into the computer to charge it.

Is there any way to prevent this or perhaps make windows think it is the same controller plugged in as it is over Bluetooth?

Thanks

Is there a way to set an "Adventure Mode Boundary" in Minecraft?

I am trying to create this village where players can spawn in, and then set out to explore the world and build and do normal minecraft stuff.

texts: What are strategies for beating the PvP update challenge maps in Magicka?

texts:
I'm having a lot of trouble with the new challenge arenas that were introduced with the PvP update in Magicka.  I got the Final Frontier DLC and am trying to beat the Vulcan arena (though I'm assuming this question applies to all of the new arenas); however, I can only manage to get to the second or third wave each time.

I believe my problem is that against enemies in other challenge maps (and in adventure mode), it is a good strategy to play defensively.  However, the enemies in the new challenge maps cast high powered spells very often, more frequently than I can defend against with shields.

Are there any good strategies for being successful in the new challenge arenas?

texts: Who or what is the "other M" in Metroid: Other M?

texts:
Spoilers

Who or what is this "Other M" that is referenced in the game's title? Is there anywhere this is stated definitively (or pretty clearly implied) in the game? I've finished the whole game, including the return to the bottle ship to get Adam's helmet, and I don't remember anything. (I have not played on hard mode though.)

I originally thought it meant the other metroids that were being bio-engineered to be cold-resistant. But then I thought it must be referring to something other than metroids ("Metroid" is already in the title, so the other "M" must be something else), so now I'm going on the theory that MB is the other "M". But I'd love to know one way or the other if there is any clear answer I missed.


texts: How to properly configure autolabor in DF Hack

texts:
I've seen some dwarf fortress let's play recently so I decided to give a shot to some of the DF Hack features. The most interesting one was autolabor. However, it seems that everytime I turn it on, it assigns the labor in the least optimal way possible. For example, if I have 3 master miners, it will assign the mining job to the mason and the hunter instead.

Is there a way to calibrate it? In the videos, it seemed to work very well!
I'm using DF 34.11, DF HACK r5 on the DF Starter pack V19!

texts: Can disc and god versions coexist on xbox 360?

texts:
In my case, I have Red Dead Redemption GOTY and I manually installed it on HDD. This week the digital version is 75% off on xboxmarketplace. I kinda like it that I don't have to insert discs every time and I don't need to worry the discs will wear out one day.

While if I buy the digital version, do I have to uninstall the GOTY version first? The GOTY version does come with some extra perks (for example, Solomon’s Folly single player gang hideout, which is only included in GOTY for xbox360). If they can coexist, I want to use the digital GOD one for zombie and multiplayer. HDD space is not my concern here.

texts: How is the amount earned in a mission determined?

texts:
I noticed that sometimes I get the double amount when I'm the host of a mission.
So, I thought that the host always received more money than the others.

Yesterday, I'm pretty sure I was the host and I did get the same amount of the other players.

In one mission, 3 people got 4500 and 2 others got 9000. And I'm still pretty sure that I was the host. I was one of the 3...

Does the amount of money rewarded is affected by the "performance" of the player (I don't have a definition of performance in that case) ?

Needless to say that's a huge difference, so I would like to know, with typical branch mining, what's a ratio I should expect?

texts: Pixel Perfect Puzzles (Animals 9): Where do I start?

texts:
I needed something to do for a few minutes this morning and decided to see if there were any free Kindle games out there that looked interesting. I found Pixel Perfect Puzzles, a number/shape game that seemed fun and interesting.

Until I got here:

The idea is to figure out which of the cells must be filled in and which must be left empty. Most of the time, there's an obvious place to start, such as a row that contains 15 squares - pretty easy, fill in everything and you've got a starting place. This level, I can't find any place to get a foothold: there are no obvious breaks which must or must not be a filled-in square.

Where do I start with this puzzle?

On countless servers (like 50% of that I join), I get a network stutter (rubberband) issue. All these servers are around ~30 ping to me. When I asked in chat, they said it's a problem with DICE.

What exactly is the issue here, and how can I resolve it so I'm not getting this rubberband issue on various servers that I have under 40ms ping on?

Midnight (User's time.)
Midnight (Somewhere else. i.e. Some specific timezone)
Some set time (If so, is it always the same or different for each game?)


texts: Mesecon lua microcontroller print location

texts:
I am trying to use the mesecon luacontroller for minetest: http://mesecons.net/luacontroller/ the sample code I'm running is:

port = {a = true, b = true, c = false, d = true}

print("Hello world")

the a b and d ports are all set to true and c is false so I know the code is being executed, however I can't figure out where the console prints to the console used to start minetest, so I tried starting minetest from terminal and it still doesn't print there. I also talked to server admin and it doesn't print to server logs nor the f10 chat window.

In minetest where does the luamicrocontroller print to?


texts: Xbox One disconnected from the internet -problem

texts: I'm playing GTA V with my friends. I get disconnected. This doesn't happen often, so I worry. Naturally, I go to the Network settings. I have a wired connection, and it says my NAT type is unavailable. It says I'm connected to the router, but I'm not connected to the internet. I look over at my PC, and it's STILL connected! I got into some drama with another player recently, and he threw some threats, which I thought were empty. Is it possible he could have done something? I already power cycled, already did the router and modem unpluggings, and I already tried going wireless. It seems as if the problem is only on my Xbox One. Whenever I reset my router, however, it works for like, a minute and a half before going off again. Whenever I try to sign into my XBL account, I get denied the sign-in without an error message, or an error code, or anything of that sort. I press A on my acct, it pulls up a green loading circle, and then a white loading circle, and then brings me right back to the little Snap screen of the profiles.

texts: Do the choices on Game of Thrones Telltale games always lead to the same result?

texts:
Hey Guys I was wondering if all choices always lead to the same results in GoT Telltale Games.
For example Whatever choice you have chosen Lord Ethan is always killed by Ramsey Snow.
On all choices Lord Forrester's squire always kills a Whitehill/Boston(I didn't really notice) soldier and gets sent to the wall. Does this game have any major changes throughout the Story or are there just the same results all over the game? I don't want to waste my time with downloading more episodes because I live in a country with very high internet price. Thank you very much!


texts:
Normally, when I'm blasting fellow Pyros with my flamethrower, they take no less damage per second from my flames than non-Pyros (ignoring afterburn). However, I've noticed that, when I shoot a Detonator shot at a Pyro, instead of taking the standard 30 damage (and afterburn), he takes only 11 damage.

Does this mean that the Pyro has some fire resistance (I know that Pyros are immune to afterburn, but I'm asking about whether they take the standard amount of fire damage that other classes take), or is this just a property of the Detonator?


texts: What is the best way to level up One-Handed in Skyrim?

In Skyrim I am trying to level up as fast as possible. I have beaten the main quest line, the Stormcloak quest line, the Thieves Guild quest line and the Dark Brotherhood quest line, and I am still only level 32.

Here are my levels.(the ones that I know)
One handed : 72
Two handed : 78
Heavey armour/light armour : 64/66

texts: What determines when research can be completed instantly?

texts:
Sometimes after certain research is completed, the game tells me other research can be completed instantly.

Does it differ by difficulty?


texts: Can I safely wait before starting a mission?

texts:
In XCOM: Enemy Unknown there was a small window of time between when a mission was assigned to me and when I could respond to it before it disappeared. This was helpful because sometimes I needed just a little more time before finishing a useful bit of research, and could wait a few hours before heading off to slay the alien menace.

However, when I try to wait in XCOM 2, I get a warning popup that seems to indicate that the mission will be ignored unless I respond to it right now. This happens with guerilla, council, and reprisal missions. Still I find that sometimes I'd like to wait a few hours before dealing with the mission. Am I able to do so safely, or will I always forfeit the mission? If I am able to wait before starting a mission, how long do I have?


texts: Minecraft is sometimes misremembering my username

texts:
Lately, when I open the Minecraft launcher my username (“kpreid”) is sometimes replaced with “O” (just the one letter). The password is remembered correctly — if I retype the username I can log in. If I retype the username, log in, quit, and relaunch, then it remembers correctly for a while. I have not found how to reproduce the problem.

Has anyone seen this problem and figured out how to avoid or fix it?

Mac OS X 10.7.2
“New” (shows mcupdate site) Minecraft launcher, patched for 64-bit Java
Launched through Steam

Troubleshooting log:

2012-01-24: I launched MC through Steam and noticed the “O”. I immediately quit and relaunched it directly and saw “kpreid”, trying both several times to confirm the correlation. I then tried changing the Steam shortcut launch options to add a command-line argument, and that argument showed up as the login name (persistently), which suggests that perhaps Steam is generating a bogus “O” argument some of the time, or the way in which Steam launches MC results in it accessing files differently. The lastlogin file had identical contents before and after I logged in correctly.

2010-01-25: I saw a few occurrences of garbage including Steam-ish pathnames appearing in the login field.

texts:
After experimenting a bit with the Death Knight and the Druid, I've been wondering which of the classes in the game has the potential to be the fastest at level 90. I'm looking for the following qualifyers:

All class features and spells that create a faster form for the character (the Druid's forms, the Shaman's Spirit Wolf and so on)
Abilities that give a flat increase to speed: via spells, glyphs and talents. (Feline Swiftness, Death's Advance and others)
Equipable or usable items that give a bonus to speed at level 90, are not bound to location and has a duration of AT LEAST as long as the cooldown.
Mounts that can be used in any locations you are allowed to use mounts (this will likely boil down to a flying mount with Master Riding, but I'm asking just in case).

And are there maybe other things that I have missed that can make you go faster?

texts: So I was looking through the wiki and saw that I missed an item for the "Litany of Larceny" quest when I did Snow Veil Sanctum.  I went back and got the model ship, but when I went to Devin I did not get the conversation prompt to sell him the item.  It is the last item I need to complete the quest, and it does not show under my completed quest section.  Did I miss out on the quest because I didn't get the ship during my first trip through the dungeon?  Is this a known bug?  Or am I just missing something?  Also, I am playing on ps3, so console commands are not an option to complete the quest.

texts: Steam Link streaming causes low frame rates

texts:
(Also happens on Laptop, so not just steam link)

Hello! I pre-ordered the steam link/steam controller through the steam website and just got it on Friday, but I'm having some issues.

Problem:

I'm loving the steam controller but my problem lies with the steam link. I've been trying to stream Gone home, Binding of Issac: Rebirth, Star Wars Battlefront II, and Skull Girls but all of them will not stream over 30 fps. Gone home doesn't even go past 25 fps. Though Bioshock Infinite, Half life 2, and Tomb Raider (2013) can run above 30 usually 40s to 60s.

I was using the "Display Performance Information" option while streaming and took a screenshot while playing Star Wars Battlefront II. I've attached a picture of the output. http://i.imgur.com/WPsBMbQ.png thought it might be the two Ethernet Switches that I have in between my main computer and the steam link but I connected both to a Gigabit Ethernet Switch, used only Cat 6 cables and got the same results.

Information about my setup:

Every switch that is in my house is a Gigabit Ethernet switch.
I have an Apple Time Capsule Wireless AC/Gigabit Ethernet router.
My computers motherboard has a Gigabit Ethernet Jack as well.
I am running Windows 10 pro, GTX 780ti OC, AMD FX-6100 Six-Core 3.30 GHz, 16GB RAM.

More information:

I have Hardware Encoding ON, on my main computer, and have Decoding ON, when using the steam link. Having both off gives the same results, and having one on but not the other gives the same results.
Having changed the settings to Fast, Beautiful, or Balanced does not changed any results.

Is there any settings I have to change on my computer, or anything that I'm lacking? How do I get an output of higher than at least 40 FPS?

Thank you in advance! Also if anyone needs any information I would be happy to supply!


texts: Which trucks transport raw materials to factories - those of the factories or trade depots?

texts:
The tooltip for factory trucks only states that they transport the factory's finished goods, ie. a Processor Factory truck transports processors. However, the trade depot's truck tooltip only says that it transports import/export goods to and from the global market.

So which truck transports raw materials from trade depot to factories for production? I import all of my raw materials, so there are no mines, etc. Looking closely, there is a slight difference in the way the two trucks look, and it seems to be the factory's trucks that transport materials, but can anyone confirm that?

My factories often run low on resources so it would be useful to know, so I can only increase the number of useful trucks.

Besides personally knowing that I've cheated just a bit, are there any in-game penalties to doing this?

texts:
I have a problem with Rage game. Game runs at 60 FPS with no problems. I have no graphic issues.

I have G13 controller but disconnecting it and turning of it's program does not resolve this issue.

Any suggestions?

texts:
It's seems I've hit a bump: Every time I try to battle something I die. I couldn't go to High Hrothgar because I couldn't beat the troll. So I figured I'd become a Stormcloak and head over to Windhelm and maybe level up on my journey there. So I leave Ivarstead, die to a bear, and end up fast traveling to Whiterun. I start off on the trail leading to Windhelm and die to a Frostbite Spider.

I'm a level 6 Breton. I have light armor and I am focused on 1H weps (mainly sword) and destruction magic (and a little alteration, but not til later in the game). Am I just advancing in the story line to quickly, or do I have a bad character build?

When you deal damage with a Signature spell, you gain 4 Arcane Power.
The following skills are Signature spells:

Magic Missile
Shock Pulse
Spectral Blade
Electrocute

This ability while enabled will result in you gaining Arcane Power each time you use a Signature ability. Some of these Signature abilities can hit multiple targets - do you regain Arcane Power for each target that is hit?

I also noticed I can sometimes see submarines if they're adjacent to my borders. What is the full list of situations in which a submarine is revealed?

Also, what does "until it attacks" mean? If a submarine attacks, is it visible until the beginning of the next turn, or until it moves again? What if it has the logistics promotion and it moves away immediately after its attack, is it still visible?

Where exactly on the Citadel is Kelly Chambers?

texts: How does assassination work in multiplayer?

texts:
During multiplayer games of Mass Effect 3, sometimes the commander over the radio will declare an assassination as the next objection. I understand the goal is to kill the designated target, but there are some other details that are a bit fuzzy.

Is there any logic behind what's designated as the target? As in, is there a sequential order or a prioritization of "tougher" enemies?
Is there a time limit to manage when killing the target?
Is there a chance the target will escape the map? If there is, are there consistent exit points on maps?
Are there ever multiple assassination targets assigned at a time?
Does it matter which team member takes down the target?
Is it possible for the target to be killed without direct action taken by the players? That is, can the game "accidentally" kill the target? If so, is this considered to be a successful completion of the objective?

Sorry for the blast of questions! I know there's some cool guy out there that knows the answers.

texts: Starcraft 2 : getting gold on Psionic Assault

texts:
I'm having a hard time reaching gold in the Psionic Assault challenge in Starcraft 2. I managed to get silver using combinations of force fields and psionic storms, but it seems that leaves me with too little energy left for the last waves. I usually end up being gg'ed right after hitting the silver mark.

I tried morphing one or two Archons after some of my templars exhausted their energy, but that only helped surviving for maybe a couple of waves. What's worse, the waves come too fast for the archons to regenerate their shields, and they're no longer capable of storming after that so I guess this is really only useful for making a last stand.

I feel I must be under-using the sentries, but every attempt I've made at using hallucinations or guardian shields only seemed to eat their energy faster without helping that much in destroying the aggressors. And without shielding they die just too fast if I send them in battle.

Am I missing something, or is it just a matter of getting a better mileage out of force fields and storms ?

texts: How can I cheat without marking my game as modified?

texts:
X3 games are famously filled with one-off, heavily randomized opportunities (Pandora tunings, PALCs during Shady Business, overtuned mission reward ships, etc), getting the most out of which requires both foreknowledge and a significant sacrifice of the player's sanity to hours of saving and reloading. As a typical X3 game spans hundreds of RL hours, there is significant pressure to take advantage of these opportunities. If I do not want to waste my life hoping for the RNG god to smile on me, I turn to cheats.

So far I've figured out how to give myself billions of credits (Memory editing, nuff said) and increase cargo capacity of a ship (Memory edit the amount of wares, eject the hacked wares). Are there any other cheating options that won't mark my game as modified? Some memory editing tricks I've missed, particularly for engine tunings and rudder optimizations? Perhaps the key used to sign scripts officially endorsed by Egosoft has been cracked, allowing us to cheat however we like?

texts: Is it realistic to completely avoid PvP in EVE Online?

texts:
Lately, I've been thinking about starting to play EVE Online, but looking at various sources, it seems like PvP is a pretty big part of the game.

That's a problem for me, because I hate PvP. If I get into combat, I want it to be because I've made an active decision to allow it - that means entering known, hostile territory, or turning on a flag. If I absolutely have to enter such an area, I want there to be a way for me to quickly get out.

I understand that I can't turn off PvP entirely, and I realize I won't be able to see everything without venturing into those areas - indeed, I've read that the best money making potential is in nullsec, so clearly there's an incentive to accept that risk.

However, I don't want to be left horribly behind simply because I choose to avoid that content. It's okay that things go a little slower, but there is a limit - e.g., if I can earn some amount in 1 hour in PvP areas, I don't want it to take 3 days when sticking to a PvE approach.

Alternatively, I can accept having to go into those areas if it's realistic that I can get in there, do what I need to do, and get back out, all while avoiding PvP - I don't want to spend forever finding a sufficiently safe area, and if I do see trouble approaching, I want to be able to get out before it's too late.

Is it even possible to pull this off? Do I need to do anything special to make it feasible? Is the game still enjoyable when played in such a way?

EDIT: Just to clarify: I'm not asking for 100% security. If the game is as PvP-heavy as my impression suggests, I am perfectly willing to accept that there will always be some degree of risk. However, I will want to keep that risk minimal - if the risk for some given task is low, or I can reasonably expect to be able to flee before it's too late, then that's okay.

texts:
I am looking to build a large server. So the requirements are that I will have a server you spawn in that will then have ways to teleport you to other servers for there own spawns like Sky Block, SMP, Factions, etc. My research comes to a conclusion to use the Bungee Cord plugin.
But each of those server will run more servers for each specific game. The way I want it to run is if a game is full it starts a new server, and if there is a game already started then it starts a new server. Then, once the game ends it closes that server so it could have 1 server open or it could have 20+ open. I don't want to have 10 servers open at all times due to hardware usage but two because it won't solve the problem if you people won't get on.
I know it is possible as other servers run their server like that but I have no idea how to set it up. Is there any way to do this


texts:
On my Ranger I have an ability called 'Sharpening Stone', as follows;

I also have a trait called 'Keen Edge', which is supposed to trigger Sharpening Stone automatically whenever I reach 75% health - according to the text;

However, I have never seen Sharpening Stone go on cooldown unless I have specifically used the ability. Is this how Keen Edge is supposed to work, or am I missing something?


texts: NieR:Automata settings reset to default on launch

texts:
NieR: Automata keeps resetting my screen and controls settings. I use the custom controller profile, and set the game to run on a particular monitor in fullscreen. The past two times I have loaded the game after boot, the game reverts to the default resolution, forgets which monitor it is supposed to be on, selects Layout A for my controller, and deletes my customized controller layout.

Typically after getting everything back the way I want it, the game seems to hold on to those settings between launches. After shutting down, and then booting my PC the next evening, the settings go back to the default again.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there some sort of internal config file that I have messed up somewhere? Is there a fix for this?


texts: Can I Save Dwarf Fortress Without Quitting

texts:
Dwarf fortress automatically quits the game after saving (with the exception of autosaves) and then loading it up again takes a while. So saving frequently is really inconvenient, however, due to how unstable the game is at the moment, I find it necessary to do so.
As such, is it possible to either autosave more than seasonally, or save without quitting?
I'm open to modding the game to achieve this!


texts: How do I improve Civilization V's performance?

texts:
I have pretty decent hardware and I run many games on it. But Civ 5 is unacceptably slow when it reaches an advanced stage where it shows the whole map and there are many units.

I tried to monitor the CPU and memory and I couldn't find the bottleneck. I run it in a fast SSD and I didn't monitor my GPU.

I noticed a speed improvement when I changed from DX10/11 to DX9. But the performance isn't acceptable yet.

texts: What is the functionality of a cathedral in the Diablo world?

texts:
A cathedral is a Christian church which contains the seat of a bishop in the real world. While there is a bishop in the Diablo universe there doesn't seem to be any kind of organized religion in the Diablo universe (at least in the games). Since there is no organized religion there shouldn't be any bishops or cathedrals in that universe.
There is also a priest and a chapel in Wortham in the 1st Act of Diablo 3. But again, no religion is ever mentioned in the games, and no religion is seemed to be fallowed in the Sanctuary world.

To whom (or what) is the cathedral dedicated, and what religion is practiced in it?


texts: Outside dwarves run into enemies during attacks

texts:
In my fort, I've attracted a good number of fisherdwarves who spend their entire day out fishing in the river or ponds. The only issue is that whenever I'm attacked, there seems to be no way to get them back inside my fort's burrow quickly enough. This is the worst when a werebeast attacks, as it'll usually stay by my fort entrance attacking (and infecting) everyone who slowly walks by it on their way back. By the time my military can get to it, there's already 3 dwarves bleeding/dead by my tunnel, really ruining the ambiance of the place.

This is getting especially annoying seeing as my entryway is armed to the teeth with traps, but I never get to use it unless I want to sacrifice all my fishers/wood haulers.

Is there any way to better handle my lockdown plans, or should I just give up on fishing completely?


texts: Can't log in to LINE from Disney Tsum Tsum

texts:
I recently got hooked on Disney Tsum Tsum.  Logging in via the LINE messaging app lets you sync your game progress across devices and also gives you some free in-game coins so I thought I would try it.

I was able to get the app installed, but I have no idea how to log in to LINE from inside the Tsum Tsum game.  It asks for an email address and password, neither of which I gave when creating my LINE account.  It auto-sensed my mobile number and texted me a confirmation code and that was that; I never had to enter an email address nor pick a password.

Any suggestions?

Both myself and my opponent were in clans; I can only assume, but have not yet had the opportunity to prove, that if you go to your clan member list, and you catch any members currently in battles, you can observe them.


texts: I imprisoned my wife: if I exile her, will we be still married?

texts:
Since my wife had the annoying habit of murdering my spymasters, I've decided it was time for her to experience the dungeons.

Now I've noticed I've basically four options:

execute her
exile her
release her
do nothing

Considering she hasn't great stats and does't bring any alliance, I think getting rid of her might be the best idea… so, how do I do that?

I.e., if I just execute her, will I get some weird penalty? If I exile her, will we still count as married? Other options?

PS:

it was a righteous imprisonment
we are both cathar
I'm 51, IIRC
I might also be a lover with her, and with another courtier (I don't remember this exactly, but if someone points out this is important, I'll give an update)

texts:
In Fortnite, every time I place a marker on the map before dropping, the bus will honk. For some reason, every time I jump when it honks, I will have an almost perfect drop.

I don't know about any proof, so I'm asking the community here if they can show proof.

texts: Short-lasting schools of anchovy, herring and hake after ocean thaws etc. : fish mechanics, speed?

texts:
This is a coastal embark because the waves and mist are real nice but the weather ended up being worst than expected and the ocean froze. This provided an opportunity to dig a 2x3 shaft through the ice down to a cavern dozens of Z-levels below. Then we waited until May and suddenly it all thawed and behold this bounty from the sea:

Schools of fish, including anchovy, herring, hake and one seahorse; now herring has the massive schools property but neither hake nor anchovy do. We thought the fish were pulled because of the draining effect but no, after a short time they escaped the map and can't be found in the cavern below... What was that?

From experience or game mechanics, is it typical to find schools of fish right after some ocean thaws during Spring or was this related to the sea being drained, were the fish curious or what?
How come anchovy and hake were schooling despite seemingly not having
this property (massive schools)?
Is there a channel size which would guarantee the fish being pulled
down (I used 2x3) i.e. would create a strong enough pull to stop the fish from escaping, if that's what happened (not seeing anything in the raws for each fish which would allow me to figure that out, if that's even possible) i.e. do fish have speed?

texts: How can I counter edge-tech phantasm/illusion?

texts:
In Super Smash Brothers Mêlée, it's possible to tech on the side of the stage against powerful, edge-guarding attacks, such as a Spacie's down-smash, by inputting a tech pre-emptively. This is called (l)edge-teching. If an edge-teching Spacie immediately does a side-B (phantasm or illusion) after the tech, they can grab the ledge safely because of its speed.

As a Falco player, it is common to edge-tech against my edge-guarding Dair. I've seen another Falco player edge-guard by doing a Dair into ledge-cancel into Bair to counter edge-tech phantasm/illusion. This probably comes out at such speed that it's impossible to edge-tech the second hit. I've tried to do this, but the spacing and timing is strict. What are the other options to deal with edge-tech phantasm/illusion?

texts: AI difficulty in Starcraft is not behaving as expected

texts:
I will start by saying that I have only been playing this game for two days. At first "Medium" was very hard for me because the enemy was ripping me apart. This was especially true about "Hard" when I was able to cheese my way there, I was torn up by the computer that built a massive army and annihilated my troops.

Right now, as of this morning, the AI is not doing anything. There is hardly any fight at all. I send my troops in, meet with a minor resistance and topple their base like a house of cards. I am not bragging about my ability, I am wondering if there is a mysterious bug messing up my game cause I want challenge and I want to learn. I don't want to waste my time in 1v1 until I feel I mastered the macro and micro vs AI so... is there any way to check if the AI is working as expected and if not, report it as a bug so I can get it fixed?

texts: Lava hound attack strategy for farming resources

texts:
During the Lava Hound event, Hounds are 1/10th of their usual price. I'm drawing a blank on attack strategies for looting (farming) using Hounds. I've tried 3 or 4 Hounds and the rest Balloons. If the defending CC has troops that shoot (which they often do since everyone knows about the event), the Hounds and Balloons are toast. I'm trying to add Wizards and Hogs (to draw out troops) to my army composition, but at this point it doesn't seem like I'm going to use the sale.

Any suggestions? Is there a resource where I can find attack strategies for the current troop on sale? I find having these events make the game a lot more fun, but using some troops is trickier than using others.

Problem:
In Fortnite Battle Royale, after I deploy from the battle bus, I dive throughout the air until I automatically deploy the glider. However, I see some other players that are lower than me, meaning that somehow they deployed their glider later than mine.

How can I be as low as they are?
Is this random or is this the same automatic deploy time for all?

texts:
Shopkeepers provide a much needed service to Spelunky. Imagine getting stuck three blocks under a treasure trove. Or walking over the motherload of motherloads trapped in the dirt. Shopkeeper to the rescue! Supplying ropes and bombs and all matter of odds and ends that I don't quite yet understand...

The shopkeepers appear to do quite well for themselves, claiming the monopoly in a decently lucrative market.

Occasionally, however, there are items that attract my eye but, through no lack of effort on my part, I don't have enough gold to acquire them in a "lawful" manner.

I have tried all manner of things:

Trying the straightforward approach: walking out of the store with the un-purchased item, allows me to get a step or two outside before suddenly becoming dead.
Throwing rocks, and pots in an attempt to stun them only seems to aggravate them, causing them to whip out their shotguns and "end me" far too quickly.
whipping them leads to a very similar fate.
Attempting to take out a bomb in their general vicinity will also lead to my death.

I guess I have found a couple ways to attempt to steal from them, but each of these ends in either death or a trigger happy rampage (and death).

Perhaps I should restate my question:
How can I steal from a shopkeeper and survive?


texts: Fastest way to kill heavily armored guards in a group?

texts:
I've gotten as far as Venice, and I haven't had much difficulty with any of the fights so far.  The one thing that seems particularly dangerous is the heavily armored knight-type guards.  What I have found to work:

2 Throwing knives take one down, provided you have room and time to throw effectively.
Button-mashing hidden blade attacks also kill them, as they can't recover and counter between those quick attacks.

However, they usually show up in a group of guards, and both of these options leave me open to other attackers.  It's also hard to ignore the heavies and kill off the others, because I can't defend against their attacks (this also disables my counterattack, though I can still dodge).

Is there any surefire quick-kill method for these guys (when they're among a group)?  Should I just resign myself to running around like a ninny, slowly poking them to death?


texts: Are there any background walls which are immune to explosives?

texts:
Explosives are powerful. Maybe a little too powerful for my liking.

I've set up a trap where mobs fall into a pit of explosive proof material (in this case, mythril ore), where I'm free to throw dynamite or bombs to my heart's content.

However, I want there to be a background wall so that mobs won't spawn inside the pit while it's closed off (using active/inactive stone blocks).

So far all my attempts have failed with the background being blown clean off the sky.

Is there a wall that will remain in place even if dynamite goes off right in front of it?


texts:
I have recently gone back to playing Day of Defeat: Source.  The servers are no where near as populated as they were when I played it regular, and therefore you don't always have the choice of playing on your favourite maps.

Back when I played regular, the dod_avalanche map was either a case of racking up easy/effortless kills if you were on the Axis team, or just pure frustration on the Allies team.  At times I would play for a few hours until I got my first Allies win before leaving.

Not much on that front has changed in the years since the game's release.  The Axis team has a major advantage in most, if not all, areas of the map:

You can get into parts of the Allies spawn for spawn killing
Allies cannot get into your spawn
You can place an MG above the second Axis flag giving a strong defense on the flag below, and also stopping entry to the church or the middle flag
Entrance to the church is only hampered by Allies in the apartment windows (which is never permanent)
Entrance to the apartments from the second flag is rarely hampered
First flag barely needs defending due to more-forward defending positions
You have several sniper points from the main building across the top of the map
You are pretty much fighting downhill for most of the map (of course, Allies are fighting up hill)
The sniper points from the Axis side have poor lighting, whereas the main sniper point above the Allies window has no such advantage
There are several spots in the middle of the map that are easier to exploit for the Axis, such as the plants around the church, the lower church entrance, the fountain and the "blind" corner

This is coming from years of experience, not just playing a couple of games in the past and a couple in recent times.  A standard map usually sees Axis cap the middle flag almost immediately, then a prolonged fight with the second Allies flag swapping hands several times.  Finally, the first flag capture (which is simply a drop out of the apartment windows) is timed nicely with the capture of the second flag for an Axis win.

I have seen plenty of good players on the Allies side (with high kdr, cap points etc) but unfortunately even with the best player in the game on your team, the map is completely in favour of an Axis victory.

Question

I was wondering if there were any known strategies to help tip the balance in favour of the Allies.  Specifically, methods of holding the middle flag, as well as keeping pressure on the second axis flag.  I'm not really interested in good sniper spots unless it can control a significant part of the map for others to concentrate on capping flags.  I am looking for weak points in the usual Axis attack and how to exploit them.

Usual Failures

I cannot really get into church.  Most times either an MG from the 2nd Axis flag mows me down or I get caught on the blind corner by a couple of support/assault soldiers.  If there is an MG or group of closer soldiers I rarely make it (even with smoke for cover).

Apartments involves a lot of running up and down stairs without any penetration.  Sure, I can rack up the kills but dropping to the third flag is far from profitable (getting shot on the way down is more likely) and the 2nd Axis flag is usually defended by a mounted MG plus several Axis on the move.  If I kill the MG through nades I am prone to getting shot in the back by Axis on the move.

Running through the middle is useless for the same reasons as getting to church, plus the additional extra danger points (church entrance, church roof, far left hand side middle, shutters in top right, apartment entrance) - you are literally in the middle of all possible danger.  You are very lucky if you can step out without something shooting at you.

I realize the answers to this may differ depending on which platform the game is being played on. I'm interested in the Xbox 360 version myself, but if people know for the other platforms, feel free to answer.

I'm pretty sure online co-op exists, but is there couch co-op where multiple people play on the same system? Is there system link co-op where you can connect with other people on the same network outside of Xbox Live?

Additionally, if there are multiple ways to engage in co-op play, do the types of co-op play available vary depend on which method is utilized? ie. Campaign co-op is only available through xbox live, but you can run around with a friend blowing stuff up in couch co-op.


texts: Was World of Warcraft gold drops nerfed while I wasn't looking?

texts:
It has been a long, long time since I last played World of Warcraft. Back when fast land mounts were 1000 gold training and You had to "run the gauntlet" as we called it in my former guild to get between Night Elf starting lands and the rest of the alliance starting lands...

Basically, back before Burning Crusade had even been released. But that's enough reminiscing for now.

My question is this: Was the money drop rate nerfed since then? I realize things change over time. Especially over the course of nearly 3 expansions now... But I seem to recall being able to go down to Silithis, running just west of town, and killing the humanoid enemies there for anywhere from 1 to 5 gold each. I just went back there to build up a bit of money (I gave all my gold away before I quit last time), and was quite disappointed by the results.

So, was it nerfed since then, or is my memory just being wishful?
