texts: Shops in Planet coaster - How do shop extras effect the shop's appeal and the consuming peep?

texts:
In most shops, when setting the price of each item, theres a little hidden section below each item that allows extras to be set on that item.

Example: Cosmic Cow Milkshakes offers three products: vanilla, strawberry and chocolate shakes, each has three "extras" (marshmallow, fudge and something else) each with a value out of none, little, some, lots.

I've seen scattered reports about ice in gulpees reducing the effect on thirst, and salt on fries actively eating into the thirst meter but i can't find reference to this in game.

EDIT: I have pinged Frontier on Twitter and got reply. https://twitter.com/PlanetCoaster/status/866976964011335681
The reply was basically "They effect peeps in different ways, but there's no docs. We'll see what we can do about that though." They did confirm salty fries make peeps thirsty though.

If anything, this has given me more questions and a thrist for wanting this documenting properly - as I doubt Frontier will supply this in a level of detail that will satisfy me.

Here is my current list of questions regarding this topic:

What does each shop extras option do? Or at the very least, what possible values can shop extras affect? Appeal and Thirst are confirmed, but it is likely there are more.
Is there any existing documentation anywhere about this topic based on solid research?
Do extras effect the product value and change the profit per item or potential max sale value? Do the shop extras eat into profit assuming the item price is not increased?
Do specific brands/shop types within brands appeal to different guest types in different ways? Do extras have different effects of different guest types?

EDIT: As of 23/6/2017, despite saying they would supply some docs in a forum post in reply to my tweet, frontier have yet to release any docs on this topic.

texts: PSVR + Playstation 4 Pro + UHD TV ⇒ blackouts

texts:
Since the beginning I had blackouts both on my UHD TV and on the displays of the PSVR headset when using the PlayStation VR with the PlayStation 4 Pro.

Looks like others also suffer from this problem and it also seems it is somehow Pro specific, as it does not seem to happen with plain PS4. I tried lots of things like reducing HDCP to 1.4 or setting the resolution explicitly to HD (although UHD doesn’t seem to be passed through the PSVR processor box anyway). I even replaced the whole PSVR which didn’t help either.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I have upgraded 'Singularity' and 'Defense Drone' to explode when they expire/get destroyed. Often times, the power gets recharged before even the previous instances self destruct.

1€ > 1USD
I am tempted to say YES. Can someone confirm?

texts: Why does frame rate matter for speedruns in games with in-game timers?

texts:
Watching this video from Karl Jobst, he mentions that the speedruns of several Doom ports must take into account the game's poor frame rate.  I know the 007 Goldeneye speedrun on the N64 also involves keeping the frame rate as high as possible.  I assume many other games have similar problems.
But I don't understand why frame rate matters in these two games, because they use in-game timers for their timing.  I would think if the frame rate dipped, it would slow the timer down just as much.  What's going on here?

texts: Can I play Assassin's Creed 2 or use Ubisoft's Uplay offline?

texts:
Late last night (around midnight EDT), I tried to play Assassin's Creed 2 on the PC via Steam. I was unable to even get past the Uplay login screen because Ubisoft's service was down. Not only that but their entire website was down including support. Service was restored eventually, and things looked okay this morning.

I was under the impression that Ubisoft removed the DRM from the PC version so that an "always-on" connection was not necessary to play the game. I'm lucky enough to have good Internet service that has rarely ever gone down. Obviously the problem was on Ubisoft's side of things.

However, these events have me questioning whether I still need an Internet connection to use the Uplay service and launch Assassin's Creed 2. Is there a workaround for this or an offline mode that I could use? I did not notice any settings that I could change in Ubisoft's launcher.

texts: Is there any battles like Gilbert on the Glorious in Trails from Zero?

texts:
I'm debating what difficulty to play Trails from Zero. i don't mind a challenge but my goal for my first run is to max DP as much as possible to get the top rank and get the full bonus from my save import when i go to play Trails from Azure.
the reason for this debate is that in Trails in the Sky SC there was an annoying fight on the Glorious against Gilbert and 4 Jaegers where to get all the BP, this fight had to be won in so many turns (not just survive)

quick skimming this FAQ for what bonus DP there is i see on one page

Testaments Training
...

Win all 3 fights (+5DP)

on this page

Boss: Blade Fang x4
...

Win the fight (+3DP)

and on this page a few "(Win for +1DP)"
trying to remain plot spoiler free i don't know if any of these are timed fights like the fight against Gilbert in Trails in the Sky SC where to "Win" is to win the battle before it auto ends. if they are like it then turning playing on an easier difficulty would make them less painful but if they aren't i can play defensive (did a boss battle in Digital Devil Saga where i was on deference for like 10-15 minutes)
So is there any battles in Trails from Zero like Gilbert on the Glorious in Trails from Zero where 1 get Bonus DP for winning the battle over just surviving # Turns?

For whiterun she says the house is too small for you, her and the children. For Riften she complains that the kid(s) will grow up to be thieves. Living outside of town she complains about the kids' safety and about the wolves and bears. (Despite the fact that we are both werewolves so the kids should be more than safe in the wild but whatever). Is there any town or towns that she won't complain about if she were to have children there?

texts: Can I import Pokémon from my Let's Go team into Pokémon Home without the original game?

texts:
I recently discovered the existence of Pokémon Home, which (among other features) allows to migrate Pokémon from Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu to Sword/Shield.
Therefore, via this app, I have been able to easily export my favorite Pokémon from the old Let's Go Eevee savegame in my Switch, except the 6 ones in my team.
Unfortunately, I sold my Let's Go Eevee cartridge a few months ago after clearing the game, so I cannot reload my savegame, swap my team with dull Pokémon and save to unlock them.
Is there any way to bypass/solve this without the game, or am I forced to get (again) a copy of Let's Go Eevee?

In addition, our dad doesn't allow us to download mods so don't mention downloading single player commands and do /killall.

Please note that they are NPC villagers that are causing a lag zone.

Is there a certain amount of time that they need to suck, or am I just plain unlucky?

texts: Does "aim assist" in X-Rebirth work the same as it did in X3?

texts:
In X3-TC and X3-AP, assisted aiming was something that you had to purchase (via ship software), activate in the UI, get the target's vector cue into the main reticle and then trigger using the left control key.

In X-Rebirth, there is an "aim assist" option in the configuration menu but it's not clear when it's working (partially because the early weapons are pretty quick so their offset isn't obvious).

Does assisted aiming only happen when I use the left control key?  Do I still have to aim pretty close to the target's vector?  Or is it just a magic increase in hit probability?

texts: Possible to transfer save from PS3 to PC?

texts:
Ok. Well, long story short.

Have a PS3, got Dark Souls on it. End of year sale 2014 on Steam. Bought Dark Souls PTDE on it cheap, got a computer upgrade, and here I am.

I have already completed 3/4 of the game on the PS3, and honestly don't have the energy to start all over again, farming for another 3 hours, and acquiring everything I have, all over again.

Is it possible to somehow transfer PS3 save files to PC and play the game with them?

The only information I can find is 3+ years old which is all about Games for Windows Live making life harder...

GFWL dropped Dark Souls support, and is now supported by Steamworks, so that doesn't come into play anymore. So is there a way, 4 years later?


texts: What makes a map better for one strategy than another?

texts:
For race verses race strategies, the "meta-game" changes with time. I can understand that.  But often when watching VODs with announcers they say "oh! that is a good strategy for this map" or perhaps the opposite. This leads me to believe that some maps are good for some strategies and bad for other strategies and I would like to know why that is so that I can best choose and create my own strategies.

What I'm trying to figure out is what features make a map better for one approach over another. The only example I have is that some maps have a good area for drops while others do not.

To narrow this down let's pick the current (Dec 2013) 1v1 ladder maps, specifically Frost LE and Derelict Watcher TE. I play Terran mostly but it would be nice to also know what I am likely going to be facing from Protoss and Zerg. What are the most effective strategies for Frost LE and Derelict Watcher TE and why? Conversely, what are the least effective strategies for Frost LE and Derelict Watcher TE and why?

texts: How are wardrobe and makeup table items unlocked?

texts:
I'm playing through Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments for the first time and so far I've solved 3 cases (Black Peter, Riddle of the Rails, and Blood Bath), found every clue, and made the correct conclusion in each case. I also haven't skipped a single mini game, and I'm pretty sure I got every dialog option from everybody.

I thought this would be the key to unlocking vanity items in Sherlock's bedroom, basically just being thorough and finding all the clues, making all the deductions, etc. However, I've only unlocked the top hat (I believe from Riddle of the Rails?), and I still have no glasses and no facial hair. I think I got the Sailor outfit by doing the Black Peter case, but that may have been there from the beginning, I can't remember.

Are these wardrobe and makeup table items unlocked just by progressing through cases, or by doing certain actions, reaching particular conclusions, etc?

I'm trying to finish the "Annoying Challenge".
For those who don't it, it's an internet riddle, you only get a few hints and you will have to come up with an answer, the riddles are very nerd-related. Some geek-knowledge is required.

Right now I'm stuck on question 6.
The first hint is a piece of text: "I'm making money out of you and watching you fail. Brilliant."
Followed by an advertisement about the book "Nerd Do Well".
And a final clue: "Page 47, last word."

To get to question 6, here is a walktrough to get trough the first 5 puzzles:

   0 = "your name" (take it literally)
 1 = "poison" (found in your browser cookies, really clever...)
 2 = "brownsea" (found by inserting the coords into google maps)
 3 = "i <3 u" (No idea why, but it is)
 4 = "alberteinstein" (decode base64, then md5)
 5 = your actual ip-address (look it up)

Can anyone help me with the 6th question? What is the last word on page 47?

texts: What weapon stats matter for squadmates?

texts:
The various weapons in the game have a variety of stats, but I know that some of them (at least) are only useful to Shepard.  For instance, weight.  Squadmates are not at all effected by how much their weapons weigh.

What other statistics matter for squadmates though?  For instance, adding a scope to a SMG or AR improves its accuracy bar in the weapon stats, but does that change how accurate your squadmates are with them?  As they're computer controlled (or in one case, a computer), I doubt that they're really shooting wide or missing distant targets due to a lack of scope.

Squadmates have infinite ammo, so does it matter if their clip sizes or reserve ammo is larger?  Do they depend on the "real" reload delay for a weapon, or do they spend a fixed amount of time in their reload animation regardless?  Has anyone tested to confirm that damage upgrades actually mean something for them?

texts: What happens when you shoot sand into a nether portal?

texts:
Currently I am playing Minecraft Factions, and I'm trying to debate ways to make my chest room un-raidable from hybrid cannons. Now I've found out about regen chest, where you place lava over the top of them and water over an obsidian barrier and it will regen the cobblestone blocking off access to the chest for short periods of time.

But I wanna go a step further just because this method is not completely unraidable and I'm curious now as to what will happen if you try and launch sand into a nether portal. Will the sand remain in the overworld because there's TNT following behind it? Will the sand go into the nether because it counts as an entity?

Ultimately in terms of minecraft logic the sand should go threw the nether portal, what do you guys think? I've never seen a question or a video related to this topic so I thought I would bring it up.


texts: How to play transferred DLC on different Xbox 360?

texts:
Recently, my trusty 360 S miraculously RROD'ed on me. I sent it in for repair at my local game store, and they repaired by swapping out the thermal paste on the CPU/GPU Chip combination. The console works fine now, but I am cutting my loses short before I lost anymore valuable data to the RROD.

I moved my precious Black Ops 2 DLC to a USB and transferred that content from the USB to a new 360 E Console I got very recently. I downloaded my profile and went offline to play the DLCs, but when I go to Zombies or Multiplayer, the DLCs don't show up. I'm playing on the profile that bought them online, so I don't see why I shouldn't be able to play them.

How can I play my DLCs again on my new Xbox? I don't exactly want to redownload all the DLCs again to the new console, so a quick fire solution would greatly be appreciated.

texts: What are the differences between Firetop Mountain and Warlocks?

texts:
As part of this previous question I learned that Warlocks is another version of Firetop Mountain, but it's not perfectly the same.
The most evident difference is that Firetop Mountain is a play-by-email game, while Warlocks is played on line, through an interface screen.
There are also some small differences in the games rules and mechanics.

I had a deeper look at the detail and I found that Warlock have some alternative rule being playtested (like having the gesture DSF causing maladroitness instead of confusion or having paralyzed hands taking different positions), but that's just an option.

Another difference that I spotted is the fact that, in Warlocks, Paralysis is "as strong as" the other enchantments and, for example, can be used to "counter" an Amnesia, while in Firetop Mountain Paralysis is "weaker" that the other enchantments and, for example, would allow Amnesia to take place instead.

I spotted the fact that the four-gesture version of Lightning Bolt is renamed "Clap of Lightning", but that has no impact whatsoever on game mechanics.

From a comment made by Pierre to this question (thank you, Pierre) I also gauged that summoned monsters can be ordered to suicide by their controllers, making this way Charm Monster spell much less interesting and useful for the game (when an opponent is about to charme your monster you order it to commit suicide so you won't see it fighting against you...).

Is there any other difference between the two games?

EDIT: I found other differences:

-in Firetop Mountain you can't have more than 15 life points (if, for example, you cast a cure light wounds at yourself and you have 15 life points, you don't increase your points bewond 15, while in warlocks you can have more than 15 life points by using a cure wounds or similar.

-in Warlocks, even if you are subject of a Fear spell you still can stab (what's the sense of this?), while in Firetop Mountain you can't (and it makes a lot of sense in my opinion).

-In Firetop Mountain you can play 2 vs 2, with two (or three, etc.) mages controlled by you vs two (or three, etc.) mages controlled by your opponent (it's a nice variation of the game!), but in Warlocks this option is not allowed.

What exactly does this means? By default it seems to be set to No, and the description seems a bit vague. Does that mean if I'm attacking an enemy, my partner will also attack that same enemy? Whatever it does, is there any benefit to using it?

I want to summon an armor stand and have the arrow break the armor stand, but if the armor stand is invulnerable the arrow should hit it and fall down. The same should happen with eye of ender, ender pearls and snowballs.


texts: What does " [Element] Power rises by X" do?

texts:
When I am in battle, and I summon a spirit, after the attack has finished, I get a message saying "[Character's] [Element] power rises by [a number]".

What does this mean? Does that mean that they will have stronger attacks if they use that particular element/djinn when summoning? Or does it mean something else entirely?

I'm intrigued, what did Mercy do that gave Reaper so much hate

texts:
I posted a question about an in-game discovery on Astronomy, to see if a certain type of object I found could actually exist in nature.

While the general answer seems to be "yes", there remains some ambiguity on the point of exactly what the thing should be called.

One of the major factors in that determination may have to do with how big the object is. or how far it is from another celestial body. However, since celestial bodies themselves can be extremely large, an error equal to the radius of the body could be problematic.

So, this raises the question:

Are in-game distances from stars/planets/etc. given as a distance from the center, or the surface, of an object?

Secondarily, it would also probably be useful to know if there's a way to accurately measure the size and/or mass of in-game celestial bodies.


texts: What is the chunk update radius in single player Minecraft?

texts:
I'm new to Minecraft, and I'm looking to see how far away from my crops I can get before it starts causing problems.  I know that wheat has to be within the chunk update radius of at least one player to keep growing, which lead me to this question: Within how many blocks do I have to be for wheat to grow?

So I understand now what the system is for determining the chunk update radius in multiplayer, but what about single player?  All I've seen is the following sentence from the wiki:

  The exact number of generated chunks varies in single player mode,
  depending on
      view distance and movement.

Alright, but there has to be a system for determining what it is at any given moment.  What is it?  If it's too long of a story or something, then what's a good approximation?  Thanks!

texts: What's the best way to gear up for heroics in Mists of Pandaria?

texts:
I have just reached 90 and my gearscore is way short of the one required for heroics. I am just wondering whether there is another way to improve my gearscore without having to grind reputation points with the various MoP factions?

Even if I eventually manage to get the reputation required to buy JP gear, then how do I go about earning JP? I can no longer randomly queue normal dungeons at 90 (I can manually select them, but that doesn't give me the seven times per week JP bonus). Essentially I am in a bit of limbo.

According to this unhelpful comment by Manbullpig, apparently it only takes 15 minutes to gear up for heroics at 90. I am not quite sure whether he was exaggerating or if it's true.

Should be a simple question -

In Nethack often I've wanted to gain the telepathic intrinsic by eating a floating eye corpse.  Normally I'll try attacking it from a distance so as not to be frozen.

This time, I tried making things easier by readying a group of darts, and then trying to throw them all in a row.

So I typed in n20f and continually pressed the right button in order to aim my dart.

However, this caused me to freeze up and get killed by a random giant bat, which was able to easily kill me since I was helpless.

I'm playing the Windows port, so my arrow keys move me.  Is there something I did wrong here?

texts: Is there a way to reduce the risk of a disaster?

texts:
In patch 1.9, disasters were introduced to replace the earlier random system of bad things happening.

Now you can see exactly what conditions in your nations raise the progress to a disaster happening to what monthly degree.

For example if you are not in a war and have low manpower, you will get a monthly increase towards a peasant war between +0.5% and +2%.

When you go to war again or raise your manpower, the progress towards the disaster stops increasing, but does not go away.

Is there any way to cancel the progress altogether or at least reduce it again?

Otherwise it seems that sooner or later the disaster is going to happen, because over a long time period you will always have a short period of the disaster conditions being met and this will keep raising the progress slowly but steadily.

Allies to player character

texts: X3 Sector/Universe Traders: What do they do with existing cargo?

texts:
I have a chain of trader training going on where they start out as sector traders then once they hit level 15 or so I move them into a better ship using the "Move Pilot into New Ship" command and turn them into Universe Traders. Sometimes when it's convenient to do the switch, the trader I want to move has a cargo hold full of cargo it was intending to sell. I don't want to wait because often times it will end up buying more cargo at the same station after unloading. What I'd like is for the new pilot to simply resume selling whatever cargo is in the hold. I also want it to hold on to any required items such as fighter drones, energy cells for jumping, etc.

I'm a little unsure about how the script handles existing cargo. I believe I've read before (it would've been years ago) that any cargo in the hold when you issue the Start Sector Trader command is locked and will be left there. To avoid this I've been using Remote Best Sell... after switching out the pilot but that's very labour intensive and sometimes incredibly frustrating as the trader misses deal after deal.

So, is this true? What's the best strategy for dealing with it, if so?

texts: How to Efficiently Configure Working Item Counts From Applied Energistics

texts:
I'm just getting started on the AE mod in FTB Ultimate Mod Pack.  I'm attempting to specify that I want to send all cobblestone, dirt, and gravel over 2048 blocks in the network, to my recyclers.  Currently my setup is 4 Hoppers on top of a recycler, with an ME Level Emitter ME Export Bus for each type of block, for each recycler:

Each Export Bus only exports one type of item, and the Level Emitter turns it off once the level of items in the network drop below 2K.

There are a couple things I don't like about this setup:

It's Expensive
I have to configure the Min Level for each item, for each hopper.

Is there a good way to allow for one single Level Emitter per block type, rather than one per block type, per recycler?

I was thinking maybe using a Router instead.

texts: What's the logic behind the color puzzles in Lilly Looking Through?

texts:
In the final chapter, you have to

   change the color of the flowers from blue to red,

which requires the following steps:

   1. The flowers are blue.
 2. Send green color -> The flowers are now green.
 3. Send blue color -> The flowers are now yellow. (The animation changes here, it looks like blue is "removed" from the flowers.)
 4. Send orange color -> The flowers are now orange.
 5. Send yellow color (by combining green and blue) -> The flowers are now red.

I discovered this more or less by trial and error. However, this is such a nicely done game with such attention to detail that I'm sure there is some logic behind it, which I just don't understand. Can someone explain it to me?

What I have tried:

There are various walkthroughs available online, but they all just list the steps required to solve the puzzle, rather then explaining the mechanics behind it.
I have looked at various additive and subtractive color charts, but the logic still eludes me. (In what color system do green and blue combine to yellow?)

texts: Adding parts from other mods to Kerbal Attachment System

texts:
I've played KSP for a while now, and my approach here has been the same as with other games: First try it out vanilla, then add mods as I see which holes they'd fill.

I added mechjeb first, to automate the repetitive stuff that I'd done manually more than Jebediah himself. Works fine.
I then added kethane to set up a fuel depot on Minimus and Duna. Also works fine.
Added Kerbal Attachment System to create a hauler/worker. Retrieving space debris and hauling stuff down from orbit. Workis fine, but with some limitations.

What I would like to do now is to use KAS for retrofitting various crafts with mechjeb and kethane parts. How do I go about configuring this? I've found no specific instructions for doing this except seeing videos of people who've already done it, praising KAS's ability to support this.

What I have so far is this in GameData/aoeu/aoeu.cfg to add the mechjeb unit to KAS, gathered from snippets of information found by googling:

@PART[mumech_MJ2_AR202]{
    MODULE
    {
        name = mumech_MJ2_AR202
        stockPartName = mumech_MJ2_AR202
        evaPartPos = (0.0, -0.05, -0.2)
        evaPartDir = (0,0,-1)
        physicJoint = False
        storable = True
        storedSize = 5
        attachOnPart = True
        attachOnEva = True
        attachOnStatic = False
        attachSendMsgOnly = False
        customGroundPos = true
        dropPartPos = (0.0, 0.0, -1.0)
        dropPartRot = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
    }
}

However, the only result of the above is a duplicate item under the control tab, seemingly with the same properties. I still do not find a part in the list when trying to add it to the container of my worker-ship, still in the construction bay. What am I missing?

As mentioned above, I've found bits and pieces of info relating to this, but what I've found more of is people trying to do the same thing, and what I've found none of is a complete overview of the process of how to achieve this, be it mechjeb, kethane, or parts from any other mods.

I have an online "Games for Windows" account and use it when playing Dirt 3. Recently, when I signed in in the game it welcomed me as if it was the the first time starting the game.

Where did my saved profile go?


texts: Can the speed of a baby zombie be applied to normal zombies?

texts: In a last post I was wondering the speed of a baby zombie. The reason for this was to use the information and applied it to create a normal zombie has the same speed as a baby. Before I thought you multiplied 0.5 to the generic movement speed of 0.23 to get the speed. However I figured there was something wrong with that as the numbers were not consisted.


texts: What's the name of the song that's played when you die in Pitfall?  My understanding is that the song itself (not specifically Pitfall's recording of it) is an old thing that nobody holds any claim over, and I'm trying to search for a free copy to embed into some software.  Thanks.


texts:
Playing single player (vanilla 1.6.4), I left the game running while I went out for approximately 2 hours. Before leaving I put all of my valuables into 2 chests just in case I died. There was a crafting table in between the two chests. I left the game unpaused in an attempt to farm cacti while I was gone.

I left myself parked in the same room as the two chests.

When I came back, both chests, the crafting table, and the ladder that was used to exit the room I was in were all gone. A few of the stone blocks in the same room also seem to have moved. There is a one block hole in the floor that wasn't there, and there is an extra block in a spot on the wall that wasn't there.

I know that I didn't die because I still have everything that was in my inventory. I know that the game time was advancing because I have more cacti and all of my plants grew.

There is no damage to the room I was in that would indicate an explosion and as far as I know it would not have been possible for any mobs to get in.

Every other section of my house is in the exact same state as it was when I left, including my enchanting room which was in the next room over (no door in between)

How could my chests, a crafting table, and a ladder simply vanish over the course of 2 hours while I left the game running?

I tried using task manager to kill the game and re-launch it but that made no difference.


texts: What are Boom Boxes and how can I get them on a regular basis?

texts:
In Wildstar, I have seen that there are some housing items that can only be gotten through so called Boom Boxes. I read online that they where given out in the Open Beta, but what about now? How can I get one and can I get them regularly? I also read that Deluxe Owners would get them, but I could not find this offer in the NC Soft Store on the Upgrade option for Wildstar.

Can someone please clarify?

texts: Can Green Set Items be picked up by other players?

texts:
I know that all the drops from mobs are visible and can be picked from the ground by all the players in the same group, but I have the sensation that for the Green Set Items is a little bit different and only one player can pick a Green Set Item. I think so 'cause all the times that green items dropped with other players I've the luck to pick it and nobody else ran at the point where the green item has dropped after I've picked it.

Someone could clarify me whether all items can be picked by all players?.


texts: How can I avoid losing point when kiting?

texts:
I found that when I try to kite an enemy at the edge of scram or disruptor range they are regularly able to get away. I've tried to leave a bit more safety margin and orbit closer, but that doesn't help all that much.

How can I avoid losing point in such a situation? Do I have to manually pilot to avoid enemies escaping, and if so how exactly do I do that? And how much safety margin to the edge of scram/disruptor range should I leave when orbiting or keeping at range?

texts: What makes the entire room on fire in Inferno Butcher?

texts:
We're trying to beat the Butcher on Inferno, and towards the end of the fight the entire room is on fire at once, so nowhere is safe to stand and we all die.

It's always happened around 25% of his life, but sometimes higher and other times lower.

Does the entire room start on fire based on the Butcher's hp, or based on time?

We're trying to figure out if we need more dps, or hp/fire resist.

Some levels, such as Toad's turn pike and the train level, have big shortcuts if you can jump over a large wall.

How can I jump over walls in Mario Kart 64?

Update: the rainbow road jump does not count since it can only be done in a specific place and this is due to the map containing a huge down hill part in the level.

texts: Texture issues, glitched screens, crashes in games

texts:
I have an Intel integrated graphics card (HD 530) and I am having issues with different games in my Linux (Fedora 25):

In Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, the loading screen is glitched and the game crashes a few seconds after loading:

In Mount & Blade, I have an error after the introduction video:

(Error message: "Unable to open texture file Textures\font.dds", even though the file does exist)

In The Stanley Parable, the initial game screen is odd and there are several missing textures in the game, and it crashes after a few minutes at best:

In all games, I tried setting textures and settings to minimum, changing video modes, updating graphics driver, etc, but nothing worked.

The only similarities between them are that games 1 and 3 both use the Source engine (albeit with 7 years between them), and games 1 and 2 use Wine.

How can I fix it and play the games?


texts: Why didn't Siris/Ausar die in the first Infinity Blade itself?

texts:
In the first IB, the God King stabs siris with the Infinity Blade. Since, he was believed to be a mortal in IB1, its understandable that he died and his bloodline trying to get revenge. But, after IB2, it is revealed that he is, in fact, another Deathless.

It is clearly stated at the end of IB1, that the Infinity Blade has the "ability to prevent immortals like the God King from resurrecting after death"

My question is this:
If Siris aKa Ausar was indeed a Deathless, shouldn't the Infinity Blade have killed him permanently in IB1 itself? Or am I missing something?


texts:
I did a clean install of my pc, installed origin and then Battlefield 4. After starting BF4 it kept prompting me to install the expansion packs. When I clicked the link it would bring up origin and do nothing. After a few tries the waiting icon appeared but still nothing happend. Sometimes it started updating but then it would tell me that the update failed after a few seconds.

For some reason it just started working out of the blue after trying and rebooting a bunch of times. I was playing with no problems whatsover until I ran into a Naval Strike map. The bottom half of the deploy screen is all fuzzy and when I launch it looks like this  It takes somewhere between a few seconds and a minute for the game to crash after that.

I already tried to repair the game via origin but I want to put off reinstalling for a long as possible because of my internet connection.

I hope somebody knows what's wrong.

BTW the Xpack1-3 were all set to true by the game.

Some more screenshots, this is after a new launch of battlefield GPU temp 50C. When I deploy it crashes instantaneously.

PC specs:

I7 3770k @ 4.0 GHz WC'ed

texts:
I ran into my first infestation last night. Now all but two of my colonists are downed. Those two are hiding in their bedrooms as everyone else bleeds out. This has raised a few questions about my new visitors that I haven't been able to find the answers to.

It sounds like if I had left them closed up in the storage room they appeared in, they would have left me alone. But now that they're out, can the be re-contained? They are currently closed out of the room with the hives. Will they attack the walls or door to get back in there? If I open it up for them, will they go back in? If they do, can I shut them in, or are they "triggered" now (break out to attack me some more)?

They have already attacked the windmill and solar cells that they could get to without opening doors. Will they attack other things? Will they break down doors or walls to get to stuff?

I understand they sleep at some point. Do they follow the usual day/night cycle? Is it safe to try rescuing people at that point?


texts: How to get the new minecraft launcher GUI

texts:
My friend told me that he was running a new Minecraft launcher that looked prettier. It looks like this:

So for him it automatically installed and recently I've been getting a bunch of updates for my launcher but not the GUI.

I've looked online and I cant find anyone with a similar problem. My PC details:

Windows 7
Launcher Version 1.6.76

I've tried:

Checking the Minecraft launcher properties and the official Minecraft forum here
I noticed that there was a development version 2.0.673-stage and i thought this must be it but there was no instructions on how to get it.

My launcher currently looks like this:

Really my question is how do I get this new shiny GUI, and is it recommended that I do so?

texts: What is the tick rate and the damage per tick of each circle?

texts:
In PUBG, each circle deals damage in a constant tickrate. The damage dealt increases with each circle while the tickrate seems constant. At the time of writing this question, damage dealt is constant no matter the distance to the next circle, which was changed in a later update. Assuming the player is not boosted, how much damage in HP% does each circle deal per tick?

This information would be helpful to assess, at what HP% you would have to take meds (Med Kit, First Aid Kit, ...) to avoid dying to the zone.


texts: Can't use all commands on a Minecraft PE world

I am on the latest PE version, 1.9, and haven't had problems with commands before. Is there anything I can do?

Will I need to download it all again? (I hope not, it's like 16GB)


texts:
So for some odd reason, every now and then my Flicker Slayer will commit suicide.

I have taken the proper precautions, so I thought:

Life leech instances imply that the duration of each leech stack should be 5 seconds.  2% per second for a total of 10% maximum life per leech instance.
Normally leech instances cancel out once you hit full life. But as I am playing Slayer and spec'd into Brutal Fervour, I have overleech, causing life leech instances to run their full duration regardless if I hit full life.
Bleed procs normally last 5 seconds. However, I am currently using PoB to perform some calculations, and it shows that that bleed procs should only last 3.41 seconds:

It's definitely not self-poison. I'm using a Golden Rule jewel that implies poisons/bleeds I inflict will reflect back to myself. But I don't have a single node giving me any chance to inflict poison.

So, at least in theory, I should never be committing suicide. If bleed instances are always lower than leech instances. I've linked my PoB in case anyone wants to take a look at it. Yet somehow, I still keep committing suicide. This is extremely irritating because it happens when I least expect it. I could be leapslamming my way to the boss and all of a sudden I get hit with a massive bleed degen and die right away.

Why do I keep getting struck by bleed?

texts:
I've played a number of matches now on an Earth map in BNW, both with a modded and unmodded version, and for some reason, I never find any aluminium anywhere. I find plenty of Iron, Uranium, Coal and Oil, but I never find any Aluminium spawns. I've tried this on multiple machines, with and without a realistic earth mod, with both Venice, Egypt and America. I always have to resort to the paltry 10 you get from the recycling centers. I have the tech, and I even once took the time to check the entire map after I unlocked satellites, and I still didn't find any.

Is this just a freak coincidence or are there actually documented reasons for this occuring?

When playing Aggro Hunter against Secret Mage, who is the beatdown and who is the control?  What's the strategy?

In other words, which player should be taking on the offense (pushing face damage, trying to close out the game quickly) and which should be playing defense (controlling the board, dragging the game out)?  If it depends, what does it depend on? Does this change once the mage equips Aluneth?

Decklists: Blitz's face hunter, standard secret mage. The latest Tempostorm meta report claims the hunter is mildly favored over the mage, while the latest vS meta report says the mage is favored.

texts: Why don't my beefalo produce much manure anymore?

texts:
Recently I installed the All's Well with Maxwell update for Don't Starve.  Now I find (at least in brand new games) that my beefalo hardly produce any manure anymore.

When I find a beefalo herd, there's no manure around, and if I wait a while, four or five of them might produce just one or two between them in the course of a whole day.  Previously they used to be regular excrement factories.

This makes the game quite difficult, as manure is the limiting factor in producing farms.  (And it's a handy fuel as well.)

Is this a bug?  Is this intentional on Klei's part?  Is there any way I can fix it, short of waiting for the next update?

texts:
I'm trying to play OuterBound Games' Demolition Derby and Figure 8 race on a windows 10 gaming PC. It took a while to get it running and now I can run it fine - the only problem is that the framerate is very low - about 5 FPS - and is therefore unplayable. It's obviously an issue with the modern versions of DirectX or Windows, but I can't figure out what is wrong. I've tried running it in compatibility mode (Windows 95, ME, and XP) but the problem persists. Can I fix this?

Edit: I just had a thought. Since the game can run fine apart from the framerate, I imagine using DirectX rather than CPU rendering would improve it. The game crashes when using directX 12 (as I currently have on my computer) but the system requirements for the game mention DirectX 7. Am I able to download DirectX 7 and tell the computer to use DirectX 7 for this game only, while continuing to use DX12 for all my other games?

texts: Guitar Hero Live Controller Dongle Compatibility; Where to get dongle?

texts:
I've been told that the guitar controllers for GH:Live are compatible with any platform, but the wireless dongles are platform specific.

I have one PS4 and one PS3 dongle and two guitar controllers.

When I plugged in the PS4 dongle to my PS3, that controller synced as player one, but wouldn't let me play - which is expected.

Is there any workaround for this so I can play multiplayer on a PS3, or is there someway I can procure only the PS3 dongle without getting another guitar controller along with it?

What differences does the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft have compared to playing on the PC?
To clarify - I'm concerned more about the differences exclusive to each platform, not just differences of features that will probably be added in future updates (for example, crafting). Otherwise, I feel this question could be compared to "What is the difference between Minecraft version x and version y", which isn't what I'm asking.

My main reason for buying it is for games, so I'm not particularly fussed about things like TV not being perfect, but are there any major risks associated with it, or will it prevent me from playing games?
