texts: What is Nano Boost's targeting sensitivity?

texts: Last update on PTR added "Allows players to adjust Nano Boost’s targeting sensitivity". But what exactly Nano Boost’s targeting sensitivity is? I thought it is how exactly you need to aim at a target to use nano boost on it, but tried two extreme values of 100 and 10 and didn't notice any difference.


texts: How can I switch items using mouse buttons instead of the scroll wheel?

texts:
My mouse (a Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000) has smooth scroll (I can't turn it off) which means using the mouse wheel to change items is not ideal, sometimes it doesn't register the wheel turn, other times it registers it as 3.

Is there any way to change the item switch buttons to something else? Ideally mouse 4 and 5 (the side buttons).

texts: Pangya: Fantasy Golf - Papel Shop Special Items

texts:
I've recently become hopelessly addicted to Pangya: Fantasy Golf for the PSP. However, there seems to be hopelessly little information on it from my usual sources.

What I am looking for is information on how the Papel Shop chooses when to change the special items available. I'm theorizing that it changes after so much time not playing the game, as it changed overnight, but not once during my playtime this morning. Including across loading the save and turning off the PSP.

Anyone able to confirm / correct this theory?

Update: I've changed my theory on this situation to it changing every 24 hours, at midnight, according to the PSP internal clock. It didn't change at all yesterday... but it had changed when I got up this morning. Still looking for confirmation or correction, though!

texts: How to counter a jet-sniping attack helicopter?

texts:
I was playing Conquest at Kharg Island, where my jet repeatedly got shot out of the sky by a hovering Viper attack helicopter with heatseekers. Whenever I tried to take it out, it would usually lock and fire at me before I could destroy it. If it didn't destroy me on the first try, it would just spin around and finish me off before I can loop back.

I eventually destroyed it a few times by kamikaze'ing into it, but that's hardly the most efficient technique.

How can I counter this tactic?

What is going on? Is there a way to fix this?


texts: Minecraft command to clear all but one item entity (tile) type

texts:
I've got a capture the flag arena. One issue we keep running into during play, is that of clutter.

We have /gamerule keepInventory false, so the pitch gets rather cluttered with armor, weapons and building materials, such that it becomes difficult to pick the flag up, due to full inventories.

I've discovered the following command to remove all drops from the arena:

/kill @e[type=Item]

However, this removes all the floating items from the ground. I'd like, if possible, to preserve the flag from being destroyed.

I have this command for detecting the flag:

/testfor @e[type=Item,x=40,y=1,z=40,dx=40,dy=27,dz=80] {Item:{id:"minecraft:banner",Damage:4s}}

But I'm not sure how to combine the two in a way that it will destroy everything except for the flag.

Any ideas?

texts: Can I set the Crown Laws in other parts of my realm?

texts:
I'm the King of both Ireland and Wales and Crown Authority is High. I had vassals in Andalusia, but somehow I lost them to Scotland during a succession. I thought, isn't High Crown Authority supposed to prevent titles from leaving the realm through succession? So what I realised is that the succession laws of my vassals in Andalusia was under the de jure crown laws of a Muslim ruler who held the title of Andalusia, despite them being my vassals.

I'm having similar problems in Wales now where the successions are not going how I expect them to because they're not operating under the supposed Crown Laws of my realm. I'm in the process of invading England now so I can create the Kingdom of England, but now I'm wondering what can of worms I'm opening.

Does changing succession laws simply not effect vassals at all? I'm under the impression that all my titles will go to my heir, but do I have to worry about the Kingdom of Wales (or the future Kingdom of England) going to someone else because of succession laws for those de jure kingdoms that I can't control? If I later change to elective, will only my Irish titles go to my elected heir and the rest will go to my first-born heir?

Can I only set the crown laws for my primary title, or can I set the crown laws in the rest of my realm and titles?

I'm planning to make an assassin and won't improve my armor since I don't intend to get attacked. I roleplay a Khajiit assassin that doesn't know anything about smithing, so I don't want to smith at all.

I do intend to get a Fortify Archery amulet and ring since they increase a dagger's damage, and I also intend to spend points on the 1h Armsman 5/5 (but won't spend on dual-wield.)

Is that enough to 1-hit-kill bandits on my level, draugr, etc and do at least good damage to bosses ?

texts: Are all the royal arms gained through quests?

texts:
So far I'm on chapter 5, and have 4 royal arms, all of which I have found during the course of the main quest. I looked at the display of the royal weapons on the menu and there is a gap between the ones I have found so far.

This led me to believe that I have missed one that I should have found by this point in the story, but I haven't seen a quest for it (optional or main).

I also visited a royal tomb without a related quest, and found only a note from some hunters saying that it had been stolen, which leads me to believe that there will be a quest to retrieve it at some point.

So will I encounter each of the royal arms through the main questline, or can some be found without a related quest?

Please put any spoilers for beyond Chapter 5 in spoiler tags.


texts: Have I bricked my minecraft world by TP'ing out of bounds? (1.15.2)

texts:
I was testing on my Minecraft save with health effects and wanted to test my resistance ability with the Void. Naturally I tp'd down to some ridiculous y level, which NBT Explorer said was -1E31. Immediately, Minecraft stopped responding and eventually crashed. Here's what I've tried, reopening the save after every attempt:

Changing my UUID's Pos NBT tag in NBT Explorer to 100
Removing my UUID player data altogether
Optimising the world in-game

Each time, I'm met with 'Joining world...' followed by (Not Responding).
Before you ask, no, I didn't make any backups. I wasn't expecting it to be this bricked.

My guess is that I generated a region file in the map that breaks everything, but I have no idea how to identify the culprit file. Is there any way to save my world?


texts:
In Fallen London, there are a wide variety of currency-like items (indeed, it's part of the metaplot). Most of these can be converted into something else: many Whispered Secrets can be converted into a smaller number of Cryptic Clues, which can then become an even smaller number of Appalling Secrets, which can then convert further. For most of these conversions, they remain the same type: Whispered Secrets, Cryptic Clues, and Appalling Secrets are all Mysteries, for example.

The trouble is that some of these conversions result in items of different types.

For instance, Journals of Infamy (a Mysteries item) can be converted to Correspondence Plaques (a Wild Words item). This makes it difficult to tell whether I can get what I want. If I want, say, Favours In High Places, do I need to sell my stuff at the Bazaar in order to buy a different base-level item and then convert upwards (which is a bit inefficient), or do I have items already that I can convert into the final product?

Is there a chart out there of how all of these currency-like items are converted into each other, and at what ratios?

texts: Why aren't my guide and other dead NPCs respawning in Terraria?

texts:
I am currently in hard mode and during a blood moon, several of my NPCs including my guide and my healer died. it's been several in game "days" now and they have yet to respawn. Is there a way to check why they aren't respawning?

Is there a list of reasons for the NPCs to not respawn?

Edit in reponse to lunbok's answer:

1. They don't have appropriate housing - There is an in-game housing query function (changes your cursor into a ?) that lets you click on your house to see if it is still a suitable house and I clicked in every room in my house and they are all listed as "This housing is suitable" or "This housing is already occupied".

2. Their spawn conditions aren't met anymore. - This doesn't explain why my guide isn't respawning since they don't need a condition to respawn (other than having a suitable housing which the point above already prove isn't the problem).

3. There's a goblin invasion going on. - Do the invasions last that long? It has been about two reals days and a lot more in-game "days" now. As far as I can tell there shouldn't be an invasion going on.

4. It could be because you built your house in a part of the world that is now corrupted

texts: Playing Steam's Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 on a modern machine

texts:
I purchased and downloaded Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 via Steam not too long ago. It's been nearly 20 years since I last played, and I was feeling somewhat nostalgic. Unfortunately, I found that it wouldn't work all that well out of the box.

There's only one option for display resolution, and it's only a few-hundred pixels. I don't think it's 320x240, but it's pretty close. On a large screen, this means everything is a cluster of pixels. Hard to see the other players. 3D acceleration also doesn't work; just turns my entire screen black.

I've seen people suggest things like dgVoodoo online, but I know too little about this app, and the places often feel too shady, for me to proceed confidently.

I've just completed the Hagia Sophia challenge level and, as well as Ishak Pasha's armor, got the message Multiplayer bonus unlocked.

This happened once before - after assassinating a particular character, this message appeared and apparently this corresponded to me unlocking that character as a multiplayer character.

I don't have Xbox Live Gold - I can't go into the multiplayer menus at all, so I can't have a look for myself. I've looked at lists of multiplayer characters on the internet and can't find one that either (a) looks like it relates to Ishak Pasha or (b) specifically says it's unlocked like this.

So I was trying to make grenades and I used an armor stand tracking command set I found here How would I make something spawn when and where a snowball hits something?

I tried something like

execute @e[type=snowball] ~ ~ ~ summon armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {NoGravity:1b,CustomName:"SnowballMarker",Marker:1b,Invisible:1b}
testfor @e[type=armor_stand,CustomName:"SnowballMarker",Marker:1b,Invisible:1b] {inTile:Air}
kill @e[type=armor_stand,CustomName:"SnowballMarker",Marker:1b,Invisible:1b,inTile:Air]

First command summons an armor stand at the snowballs location.
Second command tests if the stand is in the air(at least that was the plan)
Third command kills said airborne armor stands.
If anyone can make a post-1.11 friendly version of MrLemon's command, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Also, please show the arrangement of the commands in their command blocks, crazy things can happen.

texts: Macready uses ammo supply differently when equipped in power armor

texts:
I just told Macready to equip some power armor, and now he appears to use his ammo supply differently than when out of the armor.  Specifically, when out of the armor, I can equip him with a weapon and give him one unit of ammo for that weapon, and he'll have an infinite supply of ammo for that weapon.  When in the power armor, however, he'll take one shot with the weapon and immediately switch back to his default sniper rifle.  This occurs no matter what type of weapon I equip for him.  Is this a glitch, or is there something I'm missing?

EDIT

I've confirmed that when he's in the power armor and I give Macready more ammo with the weapon, he keeps the weapon equipped until he uses all of the ammo.  Again, glitch or by design?  I should add that I'm level 89, if that matters.

EDIT 2

Ok, so I don't know what I was thinking. I verified that I was wrong about Macready having infinite ammo when out of the power armor.  When traveling as my companion, his ammo is used up for any weapon I equip for him.  In any case, the answer provided gave a link which describes how companions differ from settlers, which was appreciated.

texts: Which Dead by Daylight perks can be considered better at tier 1?

texts:
In Dead by Daylight, perks can only be leveled up through their three tiers, and once you've unlocked a higher tier version of a perk on a certain character, you can't go back to a lower tier version unless you do a prestige reset, which in itself can only be done up to three times per character. Generally, this isn't a problem since perks get more useful as their level increases.

However, as YouTuber Otzdarva pointed out in this video, this isn't always the case. He points out two specific killer perks that are actually better at level 1, in some or all situations:

Discordance
This perk notifies you when two or more survivors are working together on a generator, and highlights that generator for you. If you increase the perk's level, the duration of that highlighting also increases. Otz considers this a bad thing, because the highlight always remains for the entire duration, even if the survivors leave the generator before the time runs out. Therefore, at a higher level, it will take longer before this information gets "updated" for you.

Make Your Choice (only for certain killers)
When a survivor is rescued from a hook and you are far enough away, this perk makes the rescuer exposed, allowing you to down them in one hit. A higher level increases the duration for which this effect stays active, however this also acts as a cooldown before it can be activated again. This can be a problem for certain fast killers who don't need that much time to catch the rescuer, and could instead benefit from being able to reactivate this perk quicker.

Both of these are conclusions that I'm not sure I would have been able to make on my own. As I'm soon about to prestige my first character for the third time (meaning I'm going to lose the ability of resetting that characters perks), my question is: Are there any other perks that could be considered better if they were left on level 1, especially on the survivor's side, since those weren't mentioned in the video at all?

texts: How to understand which creature is the best to be mimicked using Phantom Image or Create Illusion in Heroes IV?

texts:
Mages of Order in Heroes IV can actually prove to be good summoners, creating 44+4 per level HP of creatures with Create Illusion and 88+8 per level with Phantom Image, or 152 HP at 8th level (the minimum when level 4 spells become available). For comparison, Summon Griffins, level 4 Nature spell, creates 0.2*level Griffins. As Griffins have 95 HP, they effectively summon 19 HP per level, or the same 152 HP. Each level after that Nature summons 11 HP per level more than Order, but... there are also Genies that summon 18 HP per Genie, summoning being arguably their best utilization. Not bad, aye? So, not only is Order the direct counter to Nature with Banish, but it is also better at summoning than Nature, also having many more interesting mechanics to choose from. But that's not the point.

The downside of Nature summons is that you can only summon the creatures that you got in your Mage Guild, while the downside of Creat Illusion is that you need at least one creature of the respective type to be present on the battlefield for at least the first round(s), but you can summon litereally everything except for Black Dragons.

Not only do you usually not have a choice with Nature (especially at higher levels), but you can also just compare the few things you got to choose from when you do and pick the best. With Order it is a lot harder. Either you have to rely on your enemy to bring the prototype, which doesn't happen always, or you have to carry one with yourself. So, the question is:

How to find the best creature to clone in any specific situation?

The rules of thumb and vague guidelines that I follow for now are to aim for a creature with the most Defence, because this means that my summoned creatures would last longer against normal attacks. I also typically aim for high-leveled creatures, because they are typically stronger, plus normally have higher Defence value.

I also typically aim for melee fighters because they are disposable anyway and typically deal more damage than shooters and, what's more important, bind the enemy by engaging them in melee fight.

I tried creating a new rock star, but that just creates one for the current player.

If I understand correctly, higher the recoil of a gun, more should be the recoil recovery time, since it is the time taken by the gun to come back to its original position after firing a single shot.

texts: How much gold can I receive for each chest/skull/commodity?

texts:
In Sea of Thieves, there are different types of chests, skulls, and commodities (pigs, chickens, gun powder barrels).  When I sold my Castaway Chest to the Gold Hoarder faction, I received varying amounts.  They were between 80 - 120 (roughly) gold each. I know that I received close to 800 gold for my Captain's Chest that I found the other day.

My gun powder barrel that I sold to the Merchant's faction went for about 180 gold, and my Black Plumed Chicken was about 120 gold.  I also had a Disgraced Skull that sold for about 280 to the Order of the Souls.

It seems that the game chooses a random number between a certain range of values for each item, depending on how rare it is.  So, what is the range of gold that I can receive from each type of chest, skull, and commodity?

texts: What are the abilities of the "Special Infected" in Left 2 Die?

texts:
Blizzard's Left 2 Die custom map, a mashup of Left 4 Dead and their own Outbreak campaign mission, starts out with familiar zerg units (from the campaign, if not from multiplayer) assaulting your base, but even during the first night, you will be attacked by "special infected" (so named in the SC2mapfile).

These are:

Hunterling
Choker
Spotter
Stank

As a formerly avid Left 4 Dead player, I notice the named similarity between these 4 zerg units and Valve's original special infected.

However, due to the random matchmaking nature of the custom games I tried, I have yet to survive the first night or encounter anything other than the Hunterling (which jumps up cliffs? Maybe something else?).

What are the traits and special abilities of these 4 units? Bonus points if you include pictures of the 4 special infested!

I never had any luck with pets when I was a kid. My parakeets died after a week. My bunny died after two days. My goldfish died within 6 hours. I was told I overfed the poor things.  I never had any pets after them again. Probably for the best, at that rate.

Then comes Mass Effect and the aquarium. Poor fish have no idea what's coming.

I don't even want to think about what happened to my poor Tamagotchi...


texts:
So I was just starting a tailing session and tried to locate the target. But my direction indicator indicated him to be about 100 meters below the surface at a poker game, the one in the shed in the suburbs.

I left the house where the poker game is and suddenly the other player profiled and then shot me. After that, the game showed me his outline, he really seemed to be far below the surface.

How was he able to profile and shoot me through the ground. And how did he get down there? Is this a glitch or something? I was not able to find any information on it online, can anyone help?

If this is a glitch or cheat, can I report somewhere that I was cheated?

Update

An answer (that has since been deleted) reported the same incident. It also gave a possible hint how to reproduce the glitch, reporting to have witnessed the target rapidly jumping up and down in the poker house. Maybe this will help us find out how to recreate the glitch so it can be fixed.

texts: Can't make sense of launch window planner results

texts:
I've been using alexmoon's KSP Launch Window Planner to plot transfers from the Mun to Minmus, but the trajectories that I get are quite far off, and I feel like I must be doing something wrong.

What I do is:

Create a maneuver node somewhere on my spacecraft's starting orbit, and use Precise Node to set its time to the one from the planner.
Copy the Δv values (prograde and normal) from the planner to the maneuver.  (Precise Node shows the maneuver's ejection angle at this point.)
Adjust the maneuver's time value up or down a bit until the ejection angle shown in Precise Node matches the one in the planner.  (The planner's time value can't be exactly right because it's assuming a perfectly-circular, perfectly-equatorial orbit, and reality isn't that perfect.  As I understand it, the ejection angle is what really matters.)

This gives me a trajectory that goes out well past Minmus in terms of distance from Kerbin, but it doesn't deviate much from the Mun's orbital plane, and it passes well above or below Minmus's inclined orbit — far enough that I don't get an encounter.  The ejection inclination shown in Precise Node is much less (around an order of magnitude) than the one shown in the planner.

I can usually "fix" the trajectory by adding another maneuver node somewhere along the path, with a burn in the normal or anti-normal direction to point it toward Minmus's orbit — basically, a mid-course plane change even though I asked for a ballistic trajectory in the planner — but that shouldn't be necessary.  I understand that minor adjustments will be needed since my starting orbit isn't the perfect one that the planner assumes, but having to add a major maneuver seems like a bit much.

I've tried setting the planner to produce a transfer with a mid-course plane change, but haven't had much luck with that either.  And the in-game Transfer Window Planner mod (which only seems to support ballistic trajectories) produces the same results as the web-based planner.

I feel like I'm missing some crucial step in translating the results from the planner into a maneuver node.  In particular, I'm puzzled that the maneuver node's ejection inclination is always so much less than the value shown in the planner — even though (I think) that's determined mainly by the normal Δv, which I copied exactly from the planner, and my starting orbit is very close (0.06°) to equatorial.

Can someone enlighten me?

Here's an example:

I asked the planner for a ballistic transfer from Mun to Minmus starting on year 1, day 356, with an initial orbit of 104km.  The key details of what it gives me are:

Departure: year 1, day 356 at 00:00:00 (UT: 7668000)
Ejection Δv: 211 (prograde 196.0, normal -78.2)
Ejection angle: 222° to prograde
Ejection inclination: -6.76°

To turn this into a maneuver, I put the 7668000 time and 196.0 and -78.2 Δv values into Precise Node, then adjusted the time back a little to 7666100 (a difference of about 32 minutes) to get the ejection angle in Precise Node close to 42° to retrograde (equivalent to 222° to prograde).

But the ejection inclination that Precise Node shows for this maneuver is 1.24° north — very different from the -6.76° shown in the planner — and you can see that the trajectory puts me way above Minmus's orbit at the closest approach.  It goes out "far enough" to get there, but the plane change is completely wrong.

My spacecraft here is starting in an equatorial orbit (0.05106° inclination) around Mun, with apoapsis at 107km and periapsis at 101km (not perfectly circular, but that shouldn't affect the inclination change much).


texts: How do I make a scoreboard command that detects when a player crouches in multiplayer?

texts: What's the solution to the Edison / Ford "139" code in Assassin's Creed 2?

texts:
One of the passwords in Assassin's Creed 2 deals with Thomas Edison and J.P. Morgan trying to discredit Nikola Tesla in order to prevent alternating current from freeing the people, or something like that.  I'm trying to unlock his secret code.

The code is 139 and according to the hint button, the symbols follow a base 3 pattern - "One dot, two dots, one line, one line and one dot, and so on", and the missing symbol has to fit that pattern.

When I align "One dot" with the number 1, the solution to 139 seems to be:

One dot
One Line
Three Lines

but when I enter that solution, I get a "Wrong code" indication.  When I align one dot with zero, the solution to 139 comes up as:

Two dots
One line and one dot
Three lines and one dot

And that code doesn't work either.

Usually there's a clue in the photos provided to explain how to align the cipher wheel, but I can't seem to find that either.  There's a symbol in the "Dearborn Independent" that contains two lines and two dots...does that have anything to do with it?

What is the solution to the Edison / Ford 139 cipher, and what clue am I supposed to use to figure the solution out?

When I send dwellers to the wasteland for long periods of time, they usually use their RadAways and Stimpaks.

She still has all 25 after 13 hours. I have watched the bars go up and down. I can not tell if this is deliberate, or a bug, but the movements are supported by the log.

I have spent 15 stimpacks in order to prevent him die after quick-save loading (he dies after 15s with no stimpacks) and loading a previous savegame was not in discussion because I made more than 1 hour before.

Are other possibilities to cure companions from venom? It seems they are affected more then me by continuously damage.

Update: Forgot to say that I play on PC in hardcore mode.


texts: How does pub player-matching work in dota 2?

texts:
Let me preface by saying that I know people say playing pubs is a good way to collect losses. That being said I typically play by myself because I don't know a lot of people that play DoTA2 and the times that I play vary.

Can anyone explain to me how the matching system works in DoTA2, because I set my language preferences to English only and server locations to areas in the US (where I am) and I still get players (usually it seems as though they are on a team of like 3 or 4) from all over the place. I am basing that on the fact that they don't respond in English. I would like to understand how the match making system works so that I can avoid this as much as possible because communication is key to winning. Pinging just doesn't seem to do it.


texts: Is there a way to reach that second path in Macalania Temple?

texts:
When you're making your way to the temple you see this ice path in the back, I'm wondering if it is at all possible to reach it because it seems a bit off to add it there when the rest of the area is devoid of anything else.

Edit:  as per  Adam Jensen's request I couldn't get a screenshot since I have yet to configure a PS2 Emulator or find a non-artwork image of the 2nd path however i did find this:

Macalania Temple Let's Play

In the video above you'll see the path I'm talking about, you can also check out the rest of the video to see more of the path. It is this second path I am talking about.


texts: How does the 'battles won' work after June 2017 gym update?

texts:
In the new gym system right before you start a battle against a defending Pokémon with with your own it shows the two Pokémon, their respective combat powers and battles won. How does the new battles won accumulate? Obviously every battle won increases the number, but do battles won when attacking and defending count? If a defending Pokémon beats multiple Pokémon in a row will it count as one or multiple battles and vice versa for attacking Pokémon? Do defeating raid Pokémon count? Also is the count still unique to a Pokémon when it is evolved?

The question is different from the former gym system (What does "Battles Won" refer to?) because it showed only the battles won by a defender when it defended a certain gym the time it was undefeated. Then a good gym could have Pokémon with about at best over 10 battles won. Now I've seen Pokémon with battles won count exceeding 900! Also when I attacked a gym every time my own Pokémon defeated the gym Pokémon the count went up.


texts: How to select DLC chacters in Warhammer Quest

texts:
Having just purchased four of the DLC characters for Warhammer Quest (via iOS in-app purchase), I cannot for the life of me work out how to create a party using them. Starting a new party doesn't appear to give any screen to select characters, when in the adventurer's guild I don't seem to be able to retire the starting characters and pick the DLC ones, and when entering a dungeon they are not marked as ready for battle.

What am I doing wrong?


texts: Are FOBs necessary to complete the game?

texts:

Is it possible to finish all the main ops (except the FOB tutorial op 22?) without constructing a FOB?

texts: Why doesn't my memory editor table work after restarting the game?

texts:
I can't figure out how to keep my static pointers working for multiple play sessions. It's getting rather annoying to have to find the addresses at the start of every session.

For fun, I'm trying to see if I can change the values of a singleplayer game (Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony, to be exact) so I can have different amounts of lives and continues from the game defaults and not stress out about dying so much.

Using both Cheat Engine and L. Spiro's Memory Hacking Software (MHS), I've been successful at changing these values by watching for the values to decrement and grabbing the correct address. I can change these values with the expected results. I can even find a static (colored green) pointer that will update the appropriate value.

The problem is that this pointer does not seem to be valid when I start a new play session. It's pointing to nothing, or something completely unrelated. Where might I be going wrong? Is there an easier way to do this? I'd rather not have to go through finding the correct address every time I start playing. :)

texts: Are there any spells for mages to perform sneak attacks?

texts:
Last night I decided to dust off Skyrim and finally play through as a Mage. So far it is fun. But I have been using a bow for sneak attacks at the start of each fight.

The problem being, most Destruction spells I have used are either (a) not long-range enough for sneak attacks, or (b) WAY too visible/noisy.

Do Mages have a spell that works well for sneak attacks?

I'm comparing the options between buying 1400 points for $19.99 vs 500 points for $7.25. The former is buying a card at a retail store, the latter is buying the points directly from the 360. If buying from the 360 includes tax (or just doesn't charge it, either way), then it's cheaper. Otherwise, the card is cheaper.

Does anyone know which way it goes?


texts: Where are the four telescopes in Southern Shelf Bay?

(There's also a telescope outside Liar's Berg, but I don't think it counts.)


texts:
How many pellets are fired from each kind of shotgun, and how does that relate to the displayed damage and damage reduction?

For instance, in the Borderlands series shotguns will often have a damage line something like "6 x 17", indicating that there are 6 pellets, each of which does 17 damage. I seem to recall a similar display in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but can't corroborate that right now. In Fallout 4, the shotgun damage just says a single number. Neither the double-barreled shotgun nor the combat shotgun appear to be shooting slugs, so we're missing some information.

In most games, shotguns are poor against armored targets because they inflict many instances of small damage. In Fallout 4, is a target's damage reduction calculated against the total damage, or against each pellet individually?


texts: Is Damage taken impacted by durability of a piece of armor?

texts:
I have seen this question and this spreadsheet, but I am looking for clarification.

I want to know if a heavily damaged, higher level piece of armor will offer more protection than a lower level piece of armor with no damage to it.

Example: If I have a level 3 helmet with 1 durability (heavily damaged), will it still absorb 55% of damage and thus making it better than a level 2 helmet with 150 durability ?

I frequently swap out my armor for the least damaged item, but from this video (just found today), it is making me rethink it.


texts: Does my save data carry over if I switch from card to download?

Now I want to get rid of some of the game cards I have, including the Smash Bros. copy. I want to instead buy them online and download them to my Switch.
If I do that, will I still have access to the save data I created using the physical game card? I fear that if I download the game, it will be kept separate and I have to start all over again.

The only way I can think of is to use a tool such as Wireshark on my network.

texts: How to fix problems with ejecting USB after running Steam

texts:
Steam runs great from my USB (no lag, relatively short load time, sometimes even remembers my account so I don't have to put in the security code). However, after every time I play (CS:GO, btw), I try to eject the USB but it tells me that it is still in use. Even after closing all tabs and all programs it tells me this.

I thought I found a quick fix by pressing "Exit Steam" in the same location where you can eject USBs, but this only worked a couple times. After that, when I exited Steam I was still unable to eject. How can I consistently eject my USB to prevent any problems to my computer or my flash drive?

Unfortunately, if I get myself next to an airport and call Pegasus, the chopper isn't delivered to the current airport I'm at, but to another one on the map. But they aren't delivered to airports randomly, it seems that each airport corresponds to a specific area where you have to be when you make that call.

Does anyone know these areas (best would be a map with those areas indicated)? Or do you know better and can tell the mechanism?

It might just be the quicker portions that are messing me up, how many of those are there, and how many times do I need to go back and forth.  Does it matter what you do in the freestyle part in the middle? Do I need to play slower, or can I make fast strums separated to the beat? Or does this just have a really small margin of error?

I've been working on a dungeon generator for a while. Recently I noticed, that big commands on impulse (or chain impulse) command blcoks sometimes don't apply instantly.

For instance, if you use a Pinap Berry and then a Nanab Berry, will you get the effects of both berries on the Pokémon, or only the effect of the last one used (so Nanab in this particular case)?

texts: Can I get steam to reconnect without restarting?

texts:
Steam is in a weird state. I have a game running, and:

it says "no connection"
it sort of thinks it's in online mode: the client menu has a "go offline..." option, which doesn't help - it requires restarting)
it sort of thinks it's in offline mode: the overlay says "Friends is not available in offline mode." and trying to install a game results in "Games cannot be installed while Steam is in offline mode."
the store loads
nothing else requiring a connection works - notably, the game I'm in where I should have just unlocked an achievement didn't actually unlock it.

I know I can fix this by just restarting (it's worked before) but this was a time-consuming achievement to get, and if I close the game it's gone, so I'd really like to coax Steam into reconnecting if at all possible.

I've found How can I get the Steam client to reestablish its connection? but the two solutions are restarting, and clicking "log in" from view friends list, which doesn't have a log in button for me. (It just shows a message: "A connection to the Friends network could not be established. Steam will automatically retry connection until the service becomes available." which does not seem true.)

Going to community pages, from the main steam client or the overlay, appears to be attempting to connect ("Please wait -- Verifying login information...") but then fails ("Error -- There was an error communicating with the Steam servers. Please try again later.")

Is there anything else that might fix this?

I would love to fix it if possible but since I'm not sure it is possible I'd rather recycle it than throw it in the trash ( if possible ).

texts: Should you recruit every trainer in Pokemon Conquest?

texts:
In Pokemon Conquest, it seems like you have the ability to recruit around 5-7 people per town (early game). Some trainers appear to have pretty terrible stats and skills compared to others.

Is there benefit in recruiting everyone, or is better to selectively recruit only the strongest so they train faster?

Do you gain more experience when developing with less trainers on a location?

I have about 6 towns under my control and they are FILLED with trainers, and it doesn't seem like the pokemon stats improve when delegated to Develop mode. Its also a pain to move people around.


texts: Were there any known defects with the Nintendo Wii?

texts:
I want to get a Wii to play the new Zelda game, but I am on a pretty tight budget. I have only about $150 to spend, so my best option appears to be buying a used Wii at GameStop for $80 and buying Zelda and the motion plus.

My only concern is the reliability of a used console. Are there any common console failures that I might be at risk for with the Wii?

My main alternative would be to get the black Wii + Mario bundle, but then I would have to wait to get Zelda, which would not be the end of the world. The last thing I want is to get stuck with a broken console because I was cheap.

Most of my Nintendo stuff in the past has been high quality and I am not particularly worried, I was just wondering what common types of Wii failures occur, and what to watch out for.

I've been struggling to create contraptions in Garry's Mod lately simply because I have tendency to want to be moving around on a flying vehicle that is also moving around.

Is there any way to avoid this? Just to be able to stand still would be great for everything from trains to space stations to aircraft!

If it can't be done in vanilla GMod, I'd be happy to take addon suggestions, or ideas for a lua script if none exist.


texts: How to properly manipulate LCN Stock Market

texts:
I read a guide somewhere on a method to manipulate the LCN stock market within the game. The steps were as follows:

Save the game
Open the LCN stock market page
Screenshot each price in the stock market
Save the game (A)
Sleep
Open the LCN stock market page
Screenshot each price in the stock market
Determine which stock would result in the highest profit
Load Save (A)
Dump all of the money into the stock selected from 8
Sleep
Sell all stock you just bought.

The premise is that you'll know which stock will give you the most amount of money in the future, so you know where to invest it. This does not take into consideration any personal impact you product on the world.

To aid in this, I made a spreadsheet where I could put in the pre price, post price, and starting funds, and it will spit out which stock will net the highest profit.

The problem though is that it's not working. Specifically, I can follow each of these steps, and when I go to sell the stocks (after knowing which one nets the most) the price is different, and usually results in a net loss.

Am I missing something during this process? Was this fixed to make the stocks random, outside of player intervention?

texts: If I usurp a King, will all of his vassals swear fealty to me?

texts:
I am the King of Ireland, and I've conquered Wales and carved myself a good chunk out of the Kingdom of England. My goal is to drive the English off the island, and form the Empire of Brittania.

Problem is, the remaining English provinces are all ruled by one-province lords, except for the King, who has two (plus one in the Holy Land). Thus, the usual methods of fast expansion, such as smart marriages and duchy claims, are no longer effective, and taking the Kingdom one province at a time is tedious, tiresome, and time consuming.

If I decide work to usurp the King, will all his de jure vassals be transferred to me, or will they become independent?

My guess is that both the vassals and the former King will become independent, and that I may attempt to offer vassalage.

I have no claim to the title, and I don't care about it – in fact, I intend to destroy it as soon as possible. I just want more provinces. Therefore, it is imperative that I get as many vassals as possible in one swoop.

I'm playing an old version of Crusader Kings 2 (v2.0.4).

texts: How to count and group items on a line in the Fallout 4 Contraptions DLC?

texts:
I have been trying to set up a line with two ammunition factories. I'm using 3 hoppers to drop 1 fertilizer, 1 lead, and another lead on a single conveyor to make 10mm rounds. I've been googling and searching YouTube but I can't seem to find any answers or ideas for this.

I want to split the single conveyor into two lines to feed two ammunition plants. I tried the laser switches immediately following the split in the line, both connected to an xor gate with the xor output connected to the conveyor belt diverter. This works alright to split single items fairly evenly between the two lines.

I want the line to be able to make any type of ammo requiring any number of ingredients. So I figured I'd try the regular tripwire with an interval counter. This seems to count items correctly, however when the counter fires it isn't a toggle, so the diverter only moves half way before power to it shuts back off.  I tried connecting the counter to a delayed-off switch hoping it would magically supply power to the diverter for a few seconds. This is not the case.

What combination of logic gates would allow me to set a counter and send groups of components to one factory and then toggle to the other factory?

texts:
I came upon a very frustrating problem while trying to play Skyrim.
Similar problems were discussed quite a lot (157 forum pages!), but I don't seem to find any solution to this.

Problem itself:

When I open world map in Skyrim with M key my system crashes almost instantly. Video card stops working ("No signal" on monitor), after that sound freezes and loops. Only hard reset works to recover my system, so the OS must have crashed too (but I am not able to check BSOD due to video not working)

A crash with exactly the same symptoms happened when I was trying to play Red Faction: Armageddon. Had no problems until the scene where you have to protect a convoy in a battlesuit on some flying platform. My system crashed every time during that scene,and I wasn't able to proceed.

System details:

Windows 7 x64
Core i5 @3.4 GGhz
16 Gb DDR3
Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti
Skyrim with all 3 DLCs, Legendary Edition, Steam

I am pretty sure that my hardware is fine since I've played a lot of demanding games and had this kind of problem with only 2 of them in very specific circumstances. Even Skyrim runs fine for hours unless I open the map.
I blame the interaction between application and video driver. Crash is not random, it happens after specific actions. Also, it isn't the application that crashes, but rather the whole system.

More info:

I am using Unofficial Skyrim Patch mods from Nexus
I am using SKSE and ENB
I am using a lot of other mods
Disabling all mods listed above does not solve this problem
I have no "bloodSplatter" setting in my config
My system is not overheating, both CPU and GPU.
Video drivers are most recent, however I tried older(332 and 314) versions without success.

Can someone suggest anything on how to solve this? I've seen a lot of threads all over the internet, but I've seen no actual solutions.

What's the fastest way to farm gold in Wildstar?

I'm currently level 45 and have almost 4 platinum from questing, however I know there has to be a faster method that does not involve playing the auction house.

texts: Defining visible area on console game display

texts: Something I always wondered is: why do some games ask you to set the visible area of the display on HD consoles? Why do they have to do this? My HDTV is native 1080p, shouldn't automatically know the visible area to draw the game to and fit the game's viewport accordingly?


texts: Is it possible to have more than one provisioning effect active at the same time?

texts: I just started out my journey in ESO. It seems that only one food/tonic effect can be active at the same time. Does this change later? If yes, how do I increase the number of effects active on me at any one time?


texts: Group fighting technique in Assassin's Creed

texts:
I'm partway through the second mission, and I've been fighting multiple enemies by blocking, waiting for one of the enemies to start to move, and then counter-killing. Rinse and repeat. This is slow, but pretty foolproof.

Is there a faster technique when dealing with several enemies? Also, are different tactics going to be required further down the road? I think The combat will get pretty boring if this is all I have to do for the rest of the missions.
