Until the recent TGT expansion, I had been doing reasonably well with a mage deck I created myself.
Since the expansion, I am have around a 50/50 win loss ratio, which is terrible.

What changes should I make to my deck to continue being a rush-style deck, but still be able to combat the newer cards?

Putting in Dr. Boom seemed to help me if I got in to a medium length match, but I would rather have it over and done with by that point.

I don't mind dusting, but I can't afford all the Legendary cards.

I have too many cards to list, so I'll check my collection as people make suggestions.

Things to note:

Completed BRM
Opened a large number of packs (all expansions)
Have all basic cards


texts: I am not that far into the game and have not really gotten more than a few systems past my starting one so this might just be a result of that. I probably have about 20-30 blueprints for varying things, hazard protection, mining speed upgrades, hyperdrive fuel chemicals, etc. I am starting to see quite a few duplicates though and am not seeing very many "unique" upgrades that do more than just upgrade the main things I already have. How many blueprints are in the game? Is it in the hundreds and I am just not that far or am I probably seeing everything I should expect to see for the rest of the game?

texts: How can I hold conversations with my Pokemon?

texts:
I was reading up on Pokemon Amie Affection and Bonding, when I came across this sentence:

  In some cases, you can also talk to your Pokemon to increase the Affection level but it is not that fast!

(Emphasis mine)

So far, my Butterfree & Frogadier seem to respond to their names but not much else. They seem to respond to talking in general by 'perking up', but then they stop being attentive without much else happening.

Are there specific sentences I can say to my Pokemon? Does it matter what I say at all? Or do they only respond to their name?

But then it started lagging and sometimes it would just stop rendering completely with only the background stadium noises playing. This stopped when I plugged in my earphones into the audio jack of my laptop

Now is runs fine (at around the same or lower fps with some lags when the focus is near the goalposts) but I can't understand why this is happening?

Does it have anything to do with the audio drivers?

(This base was made by Spiritos, which can be found here)

When someone enters Hardmode, certain enemies arise, including the Wraith.
Wraiths can go through blocks which can do more harm than needed.

I don't care about worms, but what I do care about, is having to constantly be pulling out a sword and be killing enemies...

What kind of location/biome/height can I ensure that NO enemies (I can deal with worms) can get in?

I don't want to make that thing, and then have to rebuild it somewhere else when I enter Hardmode. I want the one place where it will be good.

Any suggestions?

texts: Does Enervation make enemies lose their spells in Neverwinter Nights 2?

texts:
Neverwinter Nights 2 is a video game that widely adopts the rules of Dungeons&Dragons 3.5e, a tabletop role playing game. In D&D 3.5e, Enervation is a spell that makes the target get 1d4 negative levels if the caster succeeds in a ranged touch attack. This spell can be very powerful, since there is no saving throw, and it can wreak havoc on enemy spellcasters: each negative level they lose makes them lose their highest level spell slot. Additionally:

Each negative level gives a creature a -1 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, ability checks, and effective level (for determining the power, duration, DC, and other details of spells or special abilities).

However, since NWN2 often changes 3.5e mechanics when adapting them to the video game, I want to know if negative levels caused by the Enervation spell in NWN2 have the same effect.
Does the Enervation spell in Neverwinter Nights 2 remove highest level spell slots from enemy spellcasters?
Appendix: an example of losing spell slots
I cast Enervation on an enemy who has prepared Fireball (3), Haste (3), Web (2), Invisibility (2), Scorching Ray (2), True Strike (1), Magic Missile (1), Magic Missile (1) and Ray of Enfeeblement (1). In the tabletop game, if I roll 2 on my Enervation roll and the target gets 2 negative levels, it should lose its both highest level slots: Fireball and Haste. If I hit them again and roll 3 (and the target is still alive after gaining a total of 5 negative levels!), the target should also lose all their second level spell slots.
Will it happen in Neverwinter Nights 2?

texts: Is there a known issue with the Focus Tracking?

texts:
During the prologue mission where Aloy has to use the tracking feature to evade the Watchers, everything worked perfectly fine.

After the prologue, tracking Watchers has been hit or miss:

During the first side mission where a girl is in a tree surrounded by 4 Watchers, I was able to show each of their paths just fine.
After that point, however, I've only been able to see the path of 1 of the 10-15 Watchers for which I've tried to "Select track", and when I did so, it took about 10 seconds for the track to appear.  When I tried to select the track for the others, nothing happened at all, no matter how long I waited.  The game clearly thought their tracks were visible, though, since the toggle then read "Deselect track".
During the first main story mission outside the walls, the dialogue sorta makes it obvious that you're supposed to predict where the boss is going to walk, so once again I hit "Select track", and nothing happened no matter how long I waited or how many times I tried.  In this case I found something else interesting:  when I dragged the reticle across approximately where the track would have been, I was again given the option to "Deselect track".  So the game thinks it's drawing the track and thinks that I'm looking at the track ... there's just no track on the screen.

Is this a known bug?

::updates::

I reloaded from a save point just before encountering the aforementioned first boss, and this time the track popped up instantly when I asked for it.  However, later on in the same battle, after I'd caused the boss to run around a lot and it had finally returned to its standard track, I was unable to get the track to show up again.
As mentioned in the comments, I've also had better luck highlighting tracks from up close.  However, after the reload mentioned above, the boss whose track I was able to select so quickly was about 150 feet away!
The problem persisted after turning off my console and restarting the game.

The Wikia site for the game says that abductions don't happen in countries with satellite coverage and stop altogether when most countries are covered with satellites, which is a good lead, but not nearly specific enough. What exact conditions stop alien abductions? Can I get alien abductions back after getting rid of them?


texts: How can I conveniently dump a backpack or bag of holding?

texts:
After completing some odd quests to get a special sword, I found myself loving bags of all varieties. Sometimes, I just get the urge to put on some pink leather armor, and prance around while I fill up my little golden bags of holding with as many pretty flowers as I can find.

The trouble is, emptying these portable inventories is a bit of a chore when you carry a few or more. Primarily, I use an Ender pouch linked to a chest that dumps into my AE system to empty out my inventory while adventuring, but I don't like sending back a bunch of things that are just going to occupy types needlessly on my drives. Hence, I fill up my beautiful little bags, and spend close to half an hour emptying them when I finally return.

There's no way that I can find to hook these up to any kind of conduit or interface to make emptying them into sorting chests automatic. I want to put my bags and backpacks in something, then get back empty bags. What can I use to do this? I'm currently playing the Direwolf20 1.7.10 pack, but I'm up for anything that works, in-pack or not.

I know I could use portable cells from AE2, but:

Same problem with lots of different types (there's over 100 types of seeds)
Expensive to make, and you have to charge them, so it's easier to carry a bunch of bags or backpacks
They ... just aren't ... pretty enough.


texts: How can I keep my Kings from fighting each other?

texts:
I'm running a nice empire with, as any self respecting Emperor would require, absolute crown authority. The wiki says:

  Vassals can no longer go to war (except to rebel) at all ... It also does not work for any king vassal unless they are your de jure vassal.

I have several King vassals who wage quite a lot of wars on each other, vassals, and outsiders. If I wanted to keep all of my Kings at constant peace, would I have to hold the de jure Empire title above them? E.g. Hispania for Leon, Castille, Navarra et al, Francia for France, Aquitane, Bhriotáin and Brugundy. So far, only the Holy Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire exist, so it feels very weird to have vassals beholden to crown laws under nonexistent empire titles.

Can Kingdoms ever assimilate into Empires? If this were to occur, would they finally be under my crown authority?

I noticed that I can set the Crown Authority for each of my Kingdom titles independently; I gather that my vassals have that authority as well. What would the impact be if they had a lower crown authority than mine? Their vassals would be able to declare war, yes? Would they be able to declare on just other vassals of their liege or would they be able to target my other vassals?

texts: Installing Origin and/or Steam games automatically in an unattended manner

texts:
Does anyone know of a way of installing Steam and/or Origin games automatically, without user intervention?

I have a very unusual set up where I use an AWS instance for gaming. At the moment I have all the games installed manually but the problem is that I need to keep a relatively large storage volume around and that alone costs about half of what I'd pay for the actual computing power (snapshots don't solve this problem because the IO performance on a freshly restored one is disastrous).

The idea would be to only keep a very small volume with the OS, Origin, Steam and a bunch of utilities, and download the games automatically at boot onto an ephemeral volume which gets destroyed when the instance is shut down. The bandwidth is high enough that it doesn't take more than 10 minutes to download the few games I care about, so that delay would be more than acceptable.

Does anyone have any ideas where to start?

texts: What is the name of this Macromedia Shockwave game with a small plumber unclogging pipes from the inside?

texts:
This was a Macromedia Shockwave game I played online, which was likely made before 2008.

The gameplay was pretty straightforward: we had to unclog the pipes and help all the water flow down. If any water remained stuck, or if the character died (shocked by a power outlet), you lost a life and eventually lost if you ran out of life.
The website on which I played it (when it existed) merely called it "Plumber" (although it's likely that they made up that name; most of the games they hosted didn't have the original name as displayed when you launched them). Unfortunately, the game wasn't archived on Archive.org.
Does someone remember the name of that game by any chance?


texts: What exactly is the chaining rules in Porco in the Sky

texts:
I know that chaining is the key to scoring the big points and not getting overwhelmed by numbers in Riff: Everyday Shooter. However I'm having trouble on some of the levels working out exactly how to chain efficiently.

On "Porco in the Sky" I notice the little cubes which gain a halo when shot and I see some chains start to appear. Should I be staying within the halo or does it not matter where I shoot from once I activate the cube? Does anything help be destroy the floating suns faster other than staying still and concentrating my fire? It's tricky as the suns explode their fighters out on a fairly regular basis.


texts: Significant FPS Drop after Windows Update

texts:
I have been experiencing a significant fps drop in the two games I play: CSGO and Fortnite, after the recent Windows Update. I noticed the drop the day after the update, and the only change between then and before was the windows update. In CSGO my frames about halved, and Fortnite they dropped 30-50 fps.

Any solutions?


texts: What will I stand to gain from killing Paarthurnax and getting back in good standing with the Blades?

texts:
So, I have brought 3 followers to the blades
I then was asked to kill Paarthurnax. If I don't kill him, the blades no longer speak to me.

I've finished the main story line.

At this point, do I gain anything from killing Paarthurnax, will I be able to have all my followers hang out at the temple? Is there a way to actually bring the blades back up?


texts: How to unlock the "El Commandante" mission in Ghost Recon Wildlands?

texts: I bought Ghost Recon Wildlands 1 or 2 months ago, and I finished the game, but I've heard of another enemy in the Media Luna region. This enemy is El Commandante, I know that you had to play the beta to get it as a "bonus" enemy, but is there another way to unlock it? I would like a method that is free (if possible) and that works on Xbox One S.


texts: Should I use bonus damage on a high damage skill or a low damage skill?

texts:
I recently started playing a game called Soul Worker. The game has vertical skill bonuses. If you use a skill on the horizontal row then the next skill in the vertical column will show in the bottom skill bar. If you use the next skill within a time limit you will get a damage bonus. The first bonus is 4% the next bonus is 8%.

Should I put my weakest skill on the 8% damage slot or should I put my strongest skill? The skill damage in the game is percentage based so the skill damage is based off of the attack damage. 100 attack damage so the skill would do 170% of that damage.

Simple question, really.

Do you get any bonus for 100% Completion in LA Noire? GTAIV unlocked certain things, as I remember, once you'd gotten 100% (although nothing you couldn't use cheat codes to get). Is there anything different in the game once you've unlocked 100% completion in LA Noire?

texts: Is there an upper limit of how much money you can throw in a gold hole?

texts:
Sometimes you can dig up gold, and then put back an amount in that hole. Then, a couple days later, you get back 3 times the amount.

I've been putting 99,000 bells in these holes, but my SO is telling me that after an amount, you will not get the full amount you put in times 3. And I'm pretty sure I've been doing the 99000 bells for more than 3 days, but I never shaked a tree

Is that true? Is there an upper limit to the number of bells you can put in a gold hole and after that you will not be getting 3 times the amount?


texts: How Random are Equipment Rewards in Smash Bros 4?

texts:
Consensus appears to be that in Smash 4 all equipment reward possibilities are completely random, but there are special rules:

The rolling reward ticker appears to reward players based on what stage they are fighting on.

You apparently are more likely to receive rewards for the character you are using. But there must be some caveats to this, as a player who almost exclusively uses DeDeDe I seem to have mostly sword/glove/badge items.

There is general consensus that the higher difficulty you play at, the better the rewards you get. So, instead of a 100lb Hammer you might get a 100ton hammer.

Has anyone delved deeper into the reward system to determine what the likelihood of receiving different types of equipment or custom moves actually is?

For example, how likely is it that I get a custom move that I already have, for the character I'm playing with vs one I don't have yet. What about the characters I'm playing against? Or the stage I'm on.

I've noticed a lot of strange things. For example: I thought it was impossible to get duplicates of custom moves, but I've received "Top Spin Gordo" at least 3 times, but I still lack the 3rd Gordo customization. I've also received every type of defense equipment for DeDeDe, but none of his attack equipment.

Do I have to play above a certain difficulty level to get certain kind of rewards? Is Beam Sword only obtainable at 7+ difficulty, or only in Tour, or only in Trophy Rush?

I'm not trying to ask multiple questions here, but is there any higher understanding of how the reward system works and how to obtain specific types of rewards?

EDIT:

I've made a few observations:

Target Bomb seems to be prone to granting custom moves with the character you are currently using.
Trophy Rush seems to be prone to granting duplicates of custom moves.
Classic is a toss-up. Difficulty level seems to only affect the number of rewards you get, not the quality. Custom moves seem to be rarer than equipment. Equipment seems to be more likely from the board you are playing on and the characters you are fighting. Speed/defense/attack equipment appears to be given out in a ratio 3/2/1 (I appear to get 3x as much speed equipment out of classic as attack equipment).
All Star gives you the same kinds of equipment regardless of difficulty level, hard gives you more equipment. This mode actually earns you more equipment than trophies, but the equipment seems to be based on the characters you battle. You're equally prone to collecting custom moves as you are equipment, and custom moves tend toward not being duplicates (till you get them all anyway, then it's of course all duplicates). Speed/defense/attack equipment appears to be equal.
Crazy Orders gives you a ton of equipment, but I don't have the custom characters to analyze the types of equipment you actually get beyond level 20.

In none of the cases am I seeing that better equipment is likely from any particular difficulty level. It only appears that you simply get more at higher difficulties, and thus have a better chance through repeating odds.

EDIT:

I've made the following further observations:

After receiving many duplicates of speed/agility related equipment I have finally received the first of said type with the "risky respawner" effect. This is the first negative effect I have found, and I appear to have earned it after earning 4 "safe respawner" items in a row (somehow 4 rounds of classic awarded 4 safe-respawner items).
After earning my first pair of "max power gloves" I went on to earn 2 more "max power gloves" with my next two rounds of classic. This is interesting because it not only is a 3rd level item, but it's an attack item (which I had not been earning). Since I am still using similar difficulty levels, this leads me to believe you simply earn better things after you have acquired more of a particular item.

So: Getting 5 safe-respawner items "unlocked" the risky-respawner items.
Getting enough speed/defense items finally "unlocked" the higher-grade attack items.

texts: Does it matter how many days have passed?

texts:
Every time I go to open my inventory to check out some new gear I found, which is approximately every 37 seconds, I see the game clock staring back at me. Sometimes it's nice to know if it's day or night since there are certain magic items that give you bonuses during the day or at night, but does the number of days elasped since the game started matter?

  Are there any quests that have hidden a time limit?
  Are there any events that occur after a certain day?
  Does something bad happen if I ignore the main quest for too long?


texts: How to start your Starcraft II games vs AI immediately?

texts:
Quite often I'm practicing my build orders vs an AI and it sucks to wait for 10 seconds until the game starts, since I'm the only human player in the Lobby. This hurts especially when you make some mistakes in your build order and want to restart the game quickly.

I create those test matches going on to ARCADE > STANDARD > "MAP NAME" (Automaton LE for example). After that I add the AI and start the game. After that a timer appears that counts down from 10. But I notice that sometimes that timer is only set to 3 seconds. Is there a way to start the game immediately? I suppose there could be something like an offline mode or something.

Edit: Is there a way to restart the game like in every single player RTS game? The rehosting makes everything way harder and annoying.

How are the conditions of a team victory calculated?

It is clear that when playing a Team game of Civilization 4, teams win or lose together as a team.  However, it is not clear how the target goals of these conditions are calculated, and it can be very time-consuming to attempt to determine this.  Is a cultural victory triggered when the requisite number of legendary culture cities are achieved between all team members combined, or must they all belong to a single player?  Do Civilizations on a team build their own collective Space Ship, or each build one separately?  Are players voted for regarding Diplomatic victories collectively or separately?  Please be specific - it's possible each type of victory may have a different answer.

texts: Where in 'Lizardo Dungeon' are the Four 'Lian Clamps'?

texts:
A woman in the town of Leedo gave me a quest involving searching through the Lizardo Dungeon and finding 4 of an item called Lian Clamp.

I've found three of the four, and though I've scoured the rest (I think) of the dungeon, I haven't been able to find the fourth.

These are the first two items, located in the top-right of the dungeon's second floor.

This is the third item, located in the lower left of the dungeon's second floor.

Is there a hidden doorway or something that I'm missing?  Where is the last one?

Or is there an AwesomeLevel like in Borderlands and it increases the AwesomeLevel of all chests that Purna opens?


texts: If I change my username, does it become available to another account?

texts:
There have been a number of questions related to changing your username in Pokémon Go, but I was not able to find one regarding a situation I had encountered.

A friend of mine recently starting playing Pokémon Go and made it level 5. After they selected a team, they weren't fully content with their selection and wanted to switch to a different team. Since selecting a team becomes available at an early level, starting a new account and choosing a different team would not take very long. However, their username was unique and personal to them and once a username is chosen, it cannot be used by another account.

In a previous update, the ability to change your username was implemented, but you could only change it once. Seeing how the teams (currently) do not provide any special in-game bonuses, they would rather stick with their username than switch teams.

So, if you change your username in Pokémon Go, does that username become available to another account or is that username still unavailable?

texts:
I just found my first few items with anointments. And that got me wondering when they are activatable.

Can an anointment be activated if the item is in my inventory? Does it have to be equipped? For weapons, does it have to the currently selected weapon?

My guess would be that the item has to be equipped for a total of max 8 anointments active at once. Is that correct? Also are multiple same anointments stackable?

For example Zane has the anointment

  While SNTNL is active - 100% of dealt damage is added as cryo damage

on weapons. If I now equip 4 weapons with that anointment, do I now deal 400% of my damage as cryo damage?

Secondly, regarding weapons, how is it decided which designs can be applied to which weapons? Can all 2-handed weapons fit on each other, or is it like Swords on Swords only, etc, or is it more specific than that?

Also, I heard that you cannot apply the design of a Legendary Item to anything (which I understand for exclusivity purposes), but does the opposite apply? Can I apply a design to perhaps conceal my Legendary Cloak, or make it look like something that I like more?

texts: Diablo 3 constant freeze lag spike, but low ping and constant FPS

texts:
I'm sorry if tech support is outside the context of this site. If so you may close this question.

Just recently I've started getting lag spikes. I used to get this lag spike all the time but only whenever a new player joined my party game. But just recently few days ago when I started the game, the game would constantly freeze for 1-2 seconds every 15-20 seconds, and then start moving again very quickly to catch up with the things that happened during the freeze. I haven't changed my graphics card drivers, or did any hardware changes. All I did was install Path of Exile, but I'm not sure if that could have screwed up my Diablo 3. It took me quite a while to download and install updates on Path of Exile so I don't really want to try uninstalling it until I've tried other things. So far I've tried changing my graphics card settings (Catalyst 3D and Video settings), lowered everything in-game, even checked the "Low FX" checkbox. I've also tried Repairing Diablo 3 which didn't help.

I have a slow connection (2Mb) but it's enough to play the game at 65ms constant. I've used CTRL+R and didn't see any stutters in FPS when I get the lag spike. Because of my slow connection I also didn't want to re-install Diablo 3 without trying other things first.

texts:
Do primary objectives/people have a visual cue that lets you know you are about to embark on a major event (potentially missing uncompleted content)?

I know I can go reread my journal to figure out who I am supposed to be talking to but therein lies the dilemma. I tend to try collect all of the quests and events I can in one area before I go and attempt to complete ANY of them, the list can get pretty long. I then review the options I have and choose the missions I think will advance the story in the way I want. I don't want to start/complete missions on accident and preclude myself from other more interesting/in-character missions.

There are similar questions that deal with specific branching story lines and points of no return but I am wondering if any important people, major/minor quest givers, quest completion points, etc. LOOK different than one another.

texts: Preventing every game from turning into a base trade as Terran

texts:
I must admit, SCII isn't my best game.  I'm stuck in the low 20's in bronze (or should I say plastic?)  Anyhoo, Terran is my favorite race (mostly because I win the most matches with it - but I digress).  The problem I've gotten into is that literally EVERY GAME turns into a base trade as soon as I attack.  I just finished one minutes ago, my first pressure (I left plenty of STanks, turrets, and a sizable marine force at home) while attacking with my Vikings, Marines (w/ medivacs) and Thors.  As soon as I get halfway across the map, a HUGE Voidray army comes (can anybody say cheese?) and starts attacking my main.  His Voidray army alone took out my main and part of my natural (luckily I had my third) so I quickly stimmed and ran through his base (hardly defended - all in?) as fast as I could to hopefully get rid of his base first.

I won - but that isn't the point.  These base trades are literally happening to me in 7/10 games.  Is there any particular flaw that generally causes this?  It's stressful and demotivates me from playing because every game ends in a base trade (sometimes I win, sometimes they win).  Does this normally happen?

Any suggestions or solutions would be great!

When my tech reached Rocket Silo construction, a biter base appeared inside the boundary of my base. Though it was a little away from factory but it was within my boundary region.

I heard that biters don't spawn where a player has some factory or any kind of infrastructure. So why is it that there was a spawner inside my base not far from my rocket silo?

I have a problem where my launcher isn't the newest one on my PC... I have the old one and it wasn't really an issue for me until I tried to download a shader pack and couldn't do it. Does anyone know how to get the new launcher? I've been trying to solve this problem for around a year now and I can't find anyone who has the same issue as me. I can still play 1.16.5, but on the launcher there's an article about 1.11.2 being the newest update.
I made sure that I completely uninstalled Minecraft, and I checked that I was installing the current launcher. I even tried opening the file directly from C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft Launcher. Ultimately, this issue is more annoying than anything else because it's difficult to install mods and texture packs. Every so often when I try to reinstall it I see a screen when I'm opening the launcher that says that the launcher is updating, but whenever it finishes updating, it's still the old launcher.

After accessing the stick through the PS2 and Free MCBoot, I also see these directories:

ART
THM
VMC

Using a very simple PS2 game I have, Namco Museum, I ripped an .iso file using K9Copy. Everything seems fine - I can mount the .iso, it looks like the original, etc. I copied this .iso to the DVD folder and named it slus_202.73.NamcoMuseum.iso. I also checked the config file inside the .iso and I see this same slus_202.73 identifier listed.

When I take this back to Free MCBoot, OPL sees the game and I am able to go to game settings (but didn't change anything) and select the game to run. The screen then turns white and nothing else happens. I don't get any colors flashing, etc. - just white.

From what I've found, this should just start up, but I can't seem to find any additional troubleshooting tips anywhere. Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have changed my Minecraft skin and now I feel a bit nostalgic. I have tried to find a solution to this already but all I can find is possible "Steve skins" on the various skin websites. I want the original skin exactly as it would be if I created a new account.

I also can't seem to find anything on the Mojang account preferences to reset this back to its original state.

How can I change back to the original Steve skin?


texts: Does the warmonger penalty go down over time?

texts: In Civ6, does the warmonger penalty go down over time? I am in a situation where I have to declare a war without Casus Belli to save my religion, and the penalty is -36 which will totally destroy my relations with civs I've already met. Will it at least gradually go down as long as I don't do anything more for a while, or am I suck with this for the next 350 turns?

My definition of "best" is a combination which yields the fastest successful result when averaged across attempts.  I can see in the marketplace that the breeding time is 8 hours, which is 6 hours 24 minutes with the upgraded BC/EBI.  Are there any other dragons with this same breeding time? (ie can I determine that I have bred this dragon successfully based on breeding time?)

texts: Scrolls is free on Android devices. Does it mean I have to buy it again?

texts:
On the Google Play store listing, Scrolls is listed as free; meaning that it can be downloaded to any device and played straight away (after installation of course).

But, Scrolls is not free. (Note: You'll need a Mojang account for this link to work, otherwise it'll ask you to login. It is a link that lets you buy Scrolls)

According to the store page listing, it says the following:

  FREE VERSION - The full game is available from the ingame store.

And I can't seem to find a paid version anywhere else on the store.

I for one, already own Scrolls on the PC. Will I be able to simply login with my Mojang account and play the full version straight away... Or:
Do I have to purchase another copy, which will be binded to my tablet (or Google account)? Or will I have to create another Mojang account?

I'm asking because I don't have the net connection to download it at the moment. And the last time I tried resulted in an incomplete package; app wouldn't properly install.

texts: I have now played the A Night To Remember questions twice. My follower (I also married him for the convenience factor) Marcurio. I am playing on PS4. First time through, Marcurio followed me into the Grove and when I was teleported back, he was gone. I picked him up at The Bee and Barb, so naturally I checked to see if he was there. Nope. Then went to Solitude where our house is with our two kids. Nope, not there either. I waited 3 days in each location. Nothing. So I went back, reloaded, and the second time around, I told him to wait in my house in Riften. I flew through the quest a second time, came back to Honeyside. Nope. He's gone. Checked The Bee and Barb (again), nope. Went to Solitude again, kids were there, dad no where to be found. How can I complete this quest without looking my follower/hubs?

That hasn't worked for me.  Currently I have three vassals.  One has an opinion of me of +87.  The other two both have an opinion of me of +100.  None of them are voting in favor of this law change (see the screenshot attached).  What can I do to get it passed, if +100 opinion is not enough?


texts:
I know how "jump throw" works and also it's bind. However, I'm trying to make "jump throw" work only ON KEY RELEASE, instead of KEY DOWN, so that I can achieve the cl_crosshairsize technique as well (crosshair size changing alias) within the same key.
Usual "jump throw" bind:
alias "+jumpthrow" "+jump;-attack;"
alias "-jumpthrow" "-jump"
bind TARGET_KEY +jumpthrow

Desired "jump throw" bind:
alias "+jumpthrow" ""
alias "-jumpthrow" "+jump;-attack;-jump"
bind TARGET_KEY +jumpthrow

Unfortunately this does not work and I have no idea why, even if you set something on +jumpthrow (eg. say something).


texts: I'm sick and throwing up all over the place, what do I do?

texts:
Here's the story, I was journeying down below and finding many new things to scarf on. I'm finding turnips, morsels, chops, it's a smorgasbord down there. I eventually came across some innards and gave that a try. Boy was that a mistake. I became sick the moment it hit my tongue. I was throwing up all over the place, it was hard to move around. And with creatures swarming me and attacking me, I barely made it out alive!

I was like that for 30 seconds to a minute but it felt like it was for hours, maybe days. I tried drinking water and eating some food but it didn't help at all. I just hid in a corner healing my wounds until I recovered.

But I didn't like that feeling, I don't ever want to feel like that again, so no more innards for me! But if I see another one down there, I can't guarantee that I've learned my lesson and I might just forget and eat it since it looks so good...

If that ever happens again, what can I do to heal myself of being sick sooner?

texts: Should I return captured workers to their country or keep them?

When I take over a Barbarian camp with a captured worker from another nation, I have the option to return them or keep them. Returning them helps the relationship with the nation, keeping them is obviously labor for free.

How much is returning the worker really worth on the long run? Especially in the early game when I am short on workers it always seems best to keep the worker for myself. Is one decision generally better than the other or does it depend on the situation?

texts: How to find out where the Fang and Bone is?

texts:
I spoke with Kilton on the western eye island of the Skull Lake. Later I was actively looking for him and I teleported to Hateno, and found him where he's said to be, according to this seemingly complete guide.

Now I want to find the store again so I stalked his Hateno spot for 20 nights by sleeping in my home until morning, then until noon, then until night, then at night go to his spot and back to my home. But it didn't work.

Another guide on the Internet mentioned there'd be a sign if he'd appear at one spot at night. So I tried all of other locations, in a single in-game day to find that sign or the shop. But there was nothing.

I thought maybe I loaded a previous save where I haven't spoken to Kilton or started the quest, but no: everything is fine on that level.

So how can I find the Fang and Bone reliably?


texts: What debuffs are available for temporarily reducing SPECIAL stats?

texts:
If you pick up the You're SPECIAL! book to gain +1 to any SPECIAL stat while a stat is already at 10, you normally won't be able to pick that stat. You will be forced to pick a stat that is at 9 or lower. So you normally can't use the book to go from 10 to 11 in a stat.
However I tested how the book works with stats that are affected by a de-buff because this would reportedly enable you to get the stat bonus even if the base stat is 10. Here's what I did and what happened:

When I just took the book with 10 base intelligence and no int modifiers I could not pick Intelligence as the stat to increase.
If I have 10 in Intelligence, drank some Whiskey to temporarily reduce my INT to 9 and then took the book, I was able to pick Intelligence to increase. When the duration of the Whiskey ended my total base INT was at 11.

So, what ways do we have to temporarily decrease each stat by at least 1 point in order for this to work with all stats? I would like to compile a list that at least covers each SPECIAL stat, without console commands.

texts: What happens when you hit the hard limit in Idle Oil Tycoon?

texts:
I've been playing Idle Oil Tycoon on Android for a while, and I am at the point where many of the upgrades are purchasable (they prices show up as "infinity" signs).

I suspect this is due to some data type overflow that happens somewhere in the region of 10^306-10^309.

While a bit interesting, and telling me a bit about the programming of the game (in some cases one can deduce in which order a certain calculation takes place, for example), I feel an impending doom knowing that I will soon hit a point where my cash balance hits the overflow limit. I'm hoping someone else has already hit this point and can answer the following question:

What happens when I reach the limit? Do I instantly get infinite experience and thus infinite income from even a single property (effectively ending the game), or is there some progression beyond this point?

(Note that this is done in Unlimited Mode and took a few months to do)

I can't verify hardware acceleration; the option is greyed out (and the graphics card own menu does not appear to have this option)

I've already tried Googling this and found lots of pages of people reporting the same error but have not found a working solution. I've also tried running it with various compatibility versions and screen resolutions.

I have also tried:

installing standalone DirectX 9
disabling user account control (see comment below)
My 64 bit Windows 7 version has service pack 1 installed.

I have also tried this on a different laptop (but with Windows 7) and got the same result.

I also saw exactly the same error with Command & Conquer Red Alert 3.

I was wondering if there was some kind of document where i could review the junglespeed of each champion. I don't want to know when they get to be lvl 6, but when they take which camp.

Beeing able to tell where a champion is in the jungle and even more importantly, when they take their buffs, would be insanely helpful to counterjungling. This information is not yet easily available somewhere right now. I think it would suffice to only get those times for common junglers, but it would be helpful to have like a time range when they take a camp so the time is not too much off, when the jungler is slow/fast.

texts: Why can't nobody log into my Terraria server using my external IP?

texts: OK. So this has been going on for me for about 3 months, since I moved. Before I moved, I used an Ethernet internet to launch servers. Everything worked PERFECTLY. But now, I use a Wireless internet and did the exact same thing as I did before, but NOPE. Doesn't work. I have searched countless hours on the internet for the solution, NOTHING helped. I have port-forwarded successfully and when I check on "canyouseeme.org" if port 7777 (the port I port-forwarded and am using) is open, and it is open. I have allowed the port through my firewalls, tried disabling them, nothing worked. I also set up a static IP, but that didn't help much. So I ask, what do I do, to make it so that ANYBODY can connect to my terraria server with my external IP? Just saying this now, I can connect to my own server using localhost, my local IP adress or 127.0.0.1 easily. But the external IP is crucial to my friends, so that they can connect.

texts: Does the automated trading work correctly?

texts:
NOTE: This pertains to the Civ4: Colonization expansion specifically.

A real game killer I've found with this game, is that it appears to not effectively allocate resources during the automated trading.

eg.

  I'll typically have one city that is producing tools, with an Iron
  works, and a couple of blacksmiths.

  On this city, I'll tick the 'export' box for tools.

  All other cities need to import tools, so they can finish their
  printing presses etc.  On these, I'll tick 'import' for tools.

  I create a few wagons, and off we go.

What I find, is that the tools simply won't make it to the other cities.
They might all pile up in one city, for example.

texts: Lot no longer has a pool; Sims still want to swim, get stuck in loop

texts:
My current household used to contain a swimming pool on a third floor balcony. Since I've recently installed Sims 3 Ambitions, the pool had to go to make room for a laundry room.

Every now and then one of the Sims on the lot gets stuck in a loop, however, adding the "Swim" action to their queue. The icon immediately disappears because there is obviously no route to the pool, leaving the Sim in question to mumble something random or do some stretches before repeating the attempt at finding the pool. Usually this will continue until I manually interrupt the Sim, or until one of their other needs takes precedence.

Is this a known issue? Is there an easy fix?
I'm running version 1.22.9.

What I've tried so far:

Restarting the game
Clearing the caches
Creating a new pool elsewhere on the lot

texts: Is the Halo 4 GOTY edition DLC on the disc or an included code?

texts: I was wondering if monsters in dungeons or in field respawn after an amount of time? Could be great for loots and XP farming.


texts:
On my previous runs of Terraria, I find myself diving into deep caves to get Copper, Iron, Silver and Gold materials first, then taking that loot and going up against an Eater of Worlds, then taking THAT loot along with Meteor equipment to fight Skellitron, then taking on the Dungeon, then taking on Hell, where I get my penultimate equipment from.

But...the problem there is that exploration of The Jungle is completely left out by this order.  And I'm not entirely sure where it should go.  I think going in without Gold gear would be too dangerous, but Corrupt gear gets me ready for the Dungeon, and after that I usually go to Hell, so...when should I go?

I realize Terraria is an open world, where exploration is entirely dependent on what you want to do, but I feel like I'm not properly optimizing my delving experience by not having a plan for when to explore The Jungle.


texts: How can I get the most Memory Prisms as fast as possible from the Magitek Facility (Celes) event?

texts:
The new Celes event has some pretty steep thresholds for rewards! The top end, a 5* Holy Orb, requires a whopping 200,000 Memories!

Since the number of memories per fight doesn't seem to be fixed, is there a way to get more of them faster?


texts:
I am currently playing The Last of Us on my PS3 Slim and have been running into various technical troubles.

The first being the infamous auto-save bug, the second being the game loading forever (I don't even get as far as the Main Menu), the third being the PS3 no longer loading anything ingame, effectively halting any and all progress until I reboot the game, and the fourth being  my PS3 crashing, whenever I try to access the Home menu while I'm still ingame after playing the game for more than half an hour.

The first issue was apparently resolved by Naughty Dog without the need of a patch, and the second was "fixed" by deleting the 1.01 patch and re-installing it.
But what about the third and fourth issues?

Considering the fact, that it is currently summer in the Northern Hemisphere and ambient temperature inside and outside my home is ~30° Celsius, and that my PS3's fan become extremely noisy after 5 minutes after launching The Last of Us, I assume that temperature may be a problematic factor while gaming.

Since I neither have air conditioning nor a fan to cool my room, there is no way I can be certain about the guilt of the summer heat.

tl;dr

Is it safe to play a game as demanding as The Last of Us on a PS3 Slim, when ambient temperature are at 30° Celsius (that is: are the third and fourth issues I encountered, bugs from the game?), or should I wait for things to cool down a bit?


texts: Where is Stellaris screenshots location?

texts:
I've got steam edition of Stellaris, pressing F11 notifies that "Screenshot Taken", but can't find it.

Any one knows where Stellaris screenshots are located?


texts: Can I get a Star at attractions other than the Team Attractions?

texts:
I've now earned a star at all three Team Attractions (Zelda, Metroid, Pikmin) for being a "star player" i.e. completing all the main levels. I've unlocked everything (I think) in the competitive attractions but have no earned stars in them, or any of the single player attractions.

Are there stars to earn in every attraction, just the Team attractions or what?
