Assault soldiers reaching the rank of Lieutenant can choose between Flush or Rapid Fire.  I chose Flush for my first Assault soldier and used it probably twice; my second Assault class took Rapid Fire and uses it almost constantly.

In what scenario would one ever choose an Assault build that made extensive (or even reasonable) use of the Flush skill?


texts:
I am making a map and I have needed a clock system for my map for a while now, and I stumbled across one on YouTube that I think is really cool. It is a clock that is in the player's hotbar, and uses heads to display numbers. This is how it looks in his video:

His video can be found on YouTube, here. In his hotbar slots 2 through 9, what you can see are custom Minecraft heads that fill up the entire inventory slot. When I tried replicating this in my world, this is what I got:

I am wondering if this is just a bug because he was running back in 1.8.8, while I am always working in the latest snapshot (currently 16w05b). If this is not a bug then how do you get the numbers (player heads) to take up the full inventory slot like the first picture? It would make a timer easier to read and more visually appealing to the player.

texts: Effect of "Version" setting in Bandai Namco's Arcade Game Series: Galaga (Steam)

texts:
In Bandai Namco's "Arcade Game Series: Galaga", available from Steam, there is a setting "Version" which can be set to "NEW" (default) or "OLD". There is text which says "Enemies become unable to fire under certain conditions" (but doesn't indicate if this applies to "NEW" or "OLD").

Does anyone know if this refers to the bug in the original coin-operated arcade game where killing all but one or two enemies on the far left side and then dodging passively for up to 20 minutes whould lead to no firing by enemies in the rest of the game?

If so, does that happen with Version set to "OLD" or to "NEW"?


texts: Can I change industry output when creating an OpenTTD scenario?

texts:
I'm building a small scenario for practicing rail networks, junctions, stations etc. So far I have 4 large cities which is great for high-volume passenger traffic, bus transfers and the basics.

Now I add some industry - primary / natural resource only because the player can easily afford to build secondary in the gaps - but their performance is random and usually low.

I can't find any settings in the scenario editor to change industry properties. Can I configure their output?

texts: How long is the Dominion of Winds in Guild Wars 2?

texts:
When I was browsing the map, I noticed that the Dominion of Winds only is partially shown on the map. Almost the whole eastern border of Caledon Forest is filled with the wall. In Kessex Hills, the wall is only shown a part at the southern border. But what about the rest of the wall? According to the race that lives inside the borders, the wall is fully complete and there is no interruption. I've drawn some possible locations of the wall. Does anyone know more about the Dominion?
EDIT:
When I look at this map, I noticed that this map misses some islands. Is this map still accurate?

texts: Kids cannot access gold content with Xbox Live Gold Sharing

texts:
We have an Xbox One, and an Xbox Live Gold membership, which is tied to my account.  My two kids have separate Microsoft accounts that they sign in to when they play on the Xbox, at least for most games.

Although I have my Xbox set as the Home Xbox, the Gold does not appear to be sharing with the other accounts.  Specifically, they cannot access any area of Destiny that requires XLG, and they have to sign in as me to play PvZ: Garden Warfare at all.

Is there something else I have to do to share the XLG with the other accounts on the console?  If not, what did I do wrong, and how do I fix it?

texts: What are the strategies to getting past a stationary guard that is watching the door?

texts:
So in my last game, the teleporter room's door was watched by stationary guard. The door itself from my side has squares on left and right of it blocked. So when I open the door I:

Immediately visible, and
Cannot hide after being seen

Given that this was the teleporter room I solved that by getting one agent KOed which lured the guard out, and then ambushing the guard with another agent. The agent that remained up then dragged the KOed agent to the teleporter.

Questions:

Are there a way to get past these without getting KOed? For teleporter room getting KOed works because you are almost done, but if this is a starting room you might need to think of something else. What would that be?
What are the penalties for leaving an agent behind? That is if I do not drag it to the teleporter?
Is guard placement mostly random, to the point where you really can have a guard watching the single starting room door all the time? I have not seen this so maybe the game makes sure to only do this when being KOed is a viable option?

texts: Northern crater, does the character path affect which item they pick up?

texts:
In Final Fantasy VII, one of the final things you do is to go in the Northern Crater. During it, you have a few points where you are forced to split your team up. Those who go with the main party and those who do not.

When you get to the bottom of the crater, you find a room with all the party members in and sometimes the ones who were not with the main group have an item for you. Does this change depending on the character and the direction they took? Is there an optimal route to send people to gain the better quality items or it it just luck? Does anything else affect which items the other party members pick up?


texts: If I found the Quest home level, but haven't spoken to the leader, does the Quest Artifact count as "generated" when wishing for artifacts?

texts: I've been on the Quest home level, but haven't ventured more than a few steps. I have Magicbane and Vorpal Blade, and have seen no other artifacts in my travels. I'm hoping to add 2 more artifacts with my remaining wishes before going on the quest. Looking at the wiki, I see my chances are better for getting them beforehand. But, since the Quest artifact is guaranteed, I'm wondering if it's pre-counted as generated.  The odds change significantly if it is, and I might be better served only trying for one more. So, any info would help.

texts: List of bindings for the Xbox controller in Dragon Age:Inquisition

texts:
After playing with mouse and keyboard for a while I've decided to switch to using a gamepad now. The game is clearly designed for a gamepad and not for mouse and keyboard control.

One small issue now is that I didn't play the tutorial with a gamepad and now am a bit confused about the finer details. The key bindings menu item is greyed out now, and I couldn't find anything listing which buttons on the gamepad perform which function. I could figure out the basics, but I'm still missing some stuff like e.g. pausing without using the tactical view.

Is there a list of the default bindings for the Xbox controller anywhere in game outside of the game?


texts:
So I have recently decided to replay the trilogy to flesh out some achievements and re-experience it before Andromeda comes out. I have a level 59 character I want to start a new file with and play through again. No issue there, I know how to normally choose the existing ID when creating a new game.

The issue is I started a play through with this character back in 2014 and never finished it, so there is a pre existing save with him, so I can't use that ID to start a new file. Or at least I can't seem to find out how if you can. I dare not delete the save file for fear of losing the character himself. Is there any way to make this work so I can restart a new game plus with that character, or am I stuck with a partial play through?

If it matters, it's on a XBox One via backwards compatibility.

texts: Unlocking all weapon slots for a lower level character after an existing character beats the game?

texts:
I know when you normally unlock weapon slots as answered in this question, but mine's a little different. I have a few characters that have already beaten the entire game, or almost the entire game (right before the end of the final mission). If I create a new character, is there any way to unlock all his weapon slots without playing through to the point at which he gets all four weapon slots?

I ask this because I have a character that I've done this for, but I'm not positive how. It might have been because I was farming the Warrior and this character finished that mission, but I'm not sure.

edit:
Character A has finished the game on Normal and TVHM, and is on the very last mission right before calling the moonshot on UVHM. Character B is a newly created character. I started the game in UVHM with Character A, brought in Character B to call the moonshot, then saved on Character B. I think that's why all the weapon slots are unlocked on Character B, but I'm not positive.

texts: Can I force Steam to use secure protocols?

texts:
I'm currently in the middle of an experiment where I reject insecure outgoing HTTP requests, and it turns out this breaks Steam in some significant ways:

The store page simply displays the following message:

  Error Code: -102

  Unable to connect to server. Server may be offline or you may not be connected to the internet.

Game updates never get anywhere.

So it appears that both the store and game updates are served through insecure HTTP. This has both security and privacy implications, so I'd like to know if there is any way for me to force Steam to use secure protocols for at least the store and game updates.

For the record: The Steam client is definitely online, because their support, served over HTTPS, works fine. I've also asked Steam support about this.


texts:
I recently decided to set up a Minecraft server on an old PowerEdge 1850 I had lying around. I'd like to start expanding and getting more players on, but I've been having massive lag issues when the server's been running for a day or so. There's usually only about 4 or 5 people logged in, and while the map is fairly large (~650 MB), people don't wander much. However, after sometimes just a few hours, redstone grinds to a halt and water/lava hang in midair. Restarting the server process fixes all the lag issues. When the server starts lagging, it's still well under its allowed memory usage, and CPU usage is fairly normal. Clearing entities doesn't seem to help. I've tried both CraftBukkit and CraftBukkit++, both with similar results. Here's the stats I've got:

2 x Xeon @ 3.20GHz
10 GB RAM (PC2-3200R 400MHz) (8 going to Minecraft)
2 x 300GB 10k RPM U320 SCSI drives (hardware RAID 1)
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_07-b10)
Linux 3.2.0-29-generic x86_64
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
CraftBukkit version git-Bukkit-1.3.2-b286jnks (MC: 1.3.2)

Does anyone know what could be causing all this lag, and how I could fix the problem without restarting the server every few hours?

texts: iPad Sonic Racing - how do I accelerate at the start of the race?

texts:
In Sonic and the Sega All-Stars Racing (iPad port. Oh, well, probably technically iOs port), you cannot "accelerate" - the game does that for you automatically.

At the  same time, when I time-race, I can see the "ghost" version of myself takes off at the beginning of the race. I did a bit of reading, and found that in the console versions of the game you can "accelerate" at the start if you hold the accelerate button at the start of the race.

Is there some alternative to do this on the iPad?

Apparently CS:GO has this smart feature that's implemented in the most annoying and inconvenient way. If you are on the same network as other people and you both play CS:GO, the other person shows up in the friends list UI inside CS:GO.

Is there any possible way to disable this feature, like through console, launch options or something like that? Please help, cause its really annoying to have all these random people pop up.

By the way, it still shows even if you are set as offline and also still if you use VPN.

texts:
In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, once you enchant some items with Chameleon effect and you get 100% or more of the effect, the game becomes too easy, almost feels like cheating. No one can see you, you can go everywhere you want, kill whoever you want, steal whatever you want.

texts:
There is another question on the viability of entangling shot. However, this question is about the shock collar rune. Everyone says that even with the increase in damage, it cannot compare to other DH attacks. However, I noted that the shock damage increases based on lvl: mine is already 28% for 2 secs (i.e. 56%). This increases the damage of Entangling shot to 131% and a max. of 195% at lvl 60.

So my question is, do you know how the shock collar damage increases? Has been this change included in the last patch (I haven't heard of this increase in the D3 forums)? Do you think that this damage make ES-SC a viable attack, considering the slow effect (anc CotW passive)?

I purchased a horse in Skyrim, and he simply refuses to wait for me. At first I thought it was because I was near a city. But even in the wildest part of Tamriel, it still trots away whenever I stop riding him. I tried with another horse, same thing. They basically act like wild horses when I gave hardly and honestly (kinda) gained money for them. It's not due to any mods, I started a game without any and still the same thing.

So yeah... Any idea how to fix that bug?


texts: How do I set up my Playstation 1 emulator files?

texts:
I recently got a Raspberry Pi 3 and I installed Retropie on it using my Linux system. I found out that it can emulate Playstation 1 games so I downloaded all three Crash Bandicoot games. When I extracted the .rar files I noticed that they didn't extract to .iso files. It made a folder for every one of them. The first two games have a .bin.ecm file and a .cue file and the third game has a .bin file and a .cue file. I haven't really seen anything like this with emulation and I am wondering how I would manage these files. Do I have to convert anything? Why are the files different? Also, do I put all the individual files into the rom directory or do I put each folder into the directory?

Note: I thought that it might be worth mentioning that for anyone who isn't familiar with Retropie the way that you add games to the system is use a fat32 USB drive and put a folder called retropie in it. You plug it into the Raspberry Pi and the Pi creates directories for all the different rom types. You can then put the USB stick back into the PC and put the extracted roms into the matching directories on the USB drive. When you plug it into the Ras Pi again it will copy any new roms from the USB drive to the right rom directories in the system.

This is what I've tried so far:

execute if entity @p[nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"minecraft:carrot_on_a_stick",CustomModelData:10000001}}]

This doesn't give me any output and says test failed, even though I am holding an item that meets all the requirements. Does it matter that the item I am using also has other tags (custom name, enchanted)? Thanks in advance.


texts: Why is what I'm seeing in Arkham Knight different from what I see in online walk throughs?

texts:
I'm playing Arkham Knight on PC, purchased via Steam. There are some Riddler trophies that were so baffling that I got to a point where I felt something might be wrong. So, I looked up some walk throughs, and I discovered that what I'm seeing doesn't match what other people show.

For example, I'm in Panessa Studios, Studio C, and there is a Riddler trophy right in front of a sort of slot machine thing, with hearts, clubs, diamonds, and spades on it.

Here is what it looks like to me:

But, when I look online, here is what the walk throughs show:

In the image I took from a walk through, there are four screens with red symbols that are accessible with the hacking device, and critical to solving the riddle.

But in mine, those screens aren't there, and without them, I don't see any way of solving the riddle.

This is only one of many differences in trophy locations inside Panessa Studios. In any case, why does this look different for me? Is this a PC bug? Is there something I need to do to activate the screens? Do I need to have gone further in the game (it says I am 87% compete in the main mission).

texts: Unmarked Cruiser in single player campaign

texts:
I'm playing GTA V on Xbox One and have updated to the heist update already.

After researching and playing a bit, I discovered that the only way for Michael and/or Trevor to get a Vapid Stanier Unmarked Cruiser is to steal one, as Franklin, when doing a weed delivery mission, either for Barry or for Smoke on the Water, then blow up the van (you'll lose profits for a week, but hell, for an unmarked cruiser it's worth it, for me, at least), drive Franklin near Michael/Trevor, switch to Michael/Trevor, take the unmarked cruiser, and place it in a garage.

Is this the only way to get an unmarked cruiser for Michael/Trevor? I know in the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions that it spawns at the train station in Strawberry, but I'm not on Xbox 360; I'm on Xbox One.

Has anyone encountered an unmarked cruiser in single player campaign?

For some time now I've been trying to make it so that I can have a slab kind of like an altar.

I imagine you being able to name your player/mob head anything, then throw it on to the slab and have it change to the head of whatever player it was named after.

I have been experimenting with this for quite some time now and this is the command I've come up with:

/data modify entity @e[type=item, sort=nearest, limit=1] Item.tag.SkullOwner set from entity @e[type=item, sort=nearest, limit=1] Item.tag.display.Name

This however doesn't work because the name is stored like this: {"text":"RandomPlayer"}. How could I make it so only the RandomPlayer gets transferred over?

I can rearrange the schedule, but I can't find any option (in the game or on the website) to change the conference. We're still in preseason - no games have been played yet.

Is it possible to adjust conference members once a dynasty is created, or is my only option to delete and recreate the dynasty? If so, it's not a big deal, I'd just rather not deal with the cat-herding involved in getting my degenerate friends to finish picking teams before creating the new dynasty.

texts: Probability of getting a 'better than average' tame

texts:
I'm trying to ascertain the probability of getting an 'above average' tame. For this question, I will use an example of taming a level 120 wild sabertooth.
I play on a difficulty 1.0 server, which mean wild dinos have a top wild level of 120. With a perfect tame, these become level 179.
Now as I understand it, there are 7 attributes for a sabertooth :

Heath
Stamina
Oxygen
Food
Weight
Damage
Speed

A freshly tamed 179 sabertooth will have 179 levels randomly assigned to any/all of these attributes. This, on 'average', will be between 25 and 26 levels each. For example :

25 Health + 25 Stamina + 25 Oxygen + 26 Food + 26 Weight + 26 Damage + 26 Speed = 179 points in total

However it is possible that a 179 tame will come out with random attributes such as :

32 Health + 20 Stamina + 12 Oxygen + 17 Food + 28 Weight + 35 Damage + 35 Speed = 179 points in total

A rather nice tame, with 4 attributes above average.
My question
What is the probability that a single attribute (e.g. Health) will be better than average? Specifically, for this question, that a single attribute will have 32 or more points assigned to it after a tame?
Aside note : The attributes Food, Oxygen and Speed are typically useless for a tame except in special circumstances (also Speed will always come out at a fixed number, irrespective of how many points are assigned to it immediately after taming). So :
Bonus question
What is the probability that a single attribute of either Health, Stamina, Weight and Damage will have 32 or more points assigned to it immediately after a tame?
Information for finding wild levels
For those people that do not know how to work out what points have been assigned to a freshly tamed dino, please look at the calculator on the wiki page here : Sabertooth Wild Stats Level-up
For example a freshly tamed 179 sabertooth with the follow stats have the following wild levels :

Health : 1815.1 = 28 levels
Stamina : 540 = 17 levels
Oxygen : 585 = 29 levels
Food : 4687.1 = 29 levels
Weight : 292 = 23 levels
Damage : 242.8 = 29 levels
Speed : Always 130 = 23 levels (whatever remaining levels are left over)

texts:
In other MOBAs I play (mostly DOTA) lane choice can make or break certain heroes. And specific hero combos and soloing with the right hero are important for the overall game. Some heroes do better in mid, while others do better in long or short lanes. But in HotS, it seems that all heroes level up as a team. Also, the lanes seem to be about the same length in terms of distance between and meeting areas of creeps.

Other than not putting a squishy hero solo, and trying to pick decent combos for heroes laning together, does lane choice make any difference? Do any heroes do better or worse in any particular lanes?

texts: Dwarf hauls the minecart instead of push/riding it

texts:
I have set up a minecart to move wood to my wood dependent workshops, the return travel is to just push the cart towards the other stop. Here my dwarf fails. They apparently "push" the cart, the cart doesn't move (at least I didn't see it moving) and they decide to haul it to the other stop. I noticed that they have no problem guiding it.

The stop is configured like this:

 z+0         z-1
░░░░░       ░░░░░
══▼░░       ░▲╗░░
░░░░░       ░░S░░
░░░░░       ░░░░░

There's a track stop with maximum friction on the stop. I don't know how much speed is loosing by friction since it's per tick, but I think the minimum is 6000 speed (1000 per corner and 5000 per upwards ramp), with a push of 20000 there should be enough speed to go up to the other side. The track is constructed from siltstone blocks and the cart is made of finger lime wood.

texts:
So yesterday i downloaded and installed Steam to do some tests on moving the games off it onto my offline PC (for when The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd comes out) and I brought Original War and Commandos (the Bundle which has the first 4 proper games).

One thing I noticed was that Steam was slow as hell, not the internet speed (as Original War being ~1.3GB took 20 minutes to download) but the Steam Client itself. If I hovered over a menu option it would take 5-10 seconds before it would highlight and about that long to do what it would do after I click. Likewise when going into a text box to type in my username and password where I have to wait a few seconds for 8 characters to appear. When I try moving the window I click and drag the title bar but it doesn't follow and it can take more than 10s for the window to catch up to the cursor.

As I said this isn't an internet connection problem as at the same time I was on the internet (looking up where the Steam Games get downloaded to) and also about 20 minutes to download over 1GB is a new record for my laptop regarding something that isn't a torrent. I also know my laptop wasn't slow itself because Chrome and Explore was working just fine.

My laptop was a Windows 8 Laptop which got force upgraded to 10 but even then the Steam Client shouldn't be doing this; it's worse than how Minecraft plays on my laptop (which is quite poor - there is lag even on low settings) yet the Minecraft Launcher works just fine.

So why is my Steam Client acting so slow?

I love Malzahar as a champ, as his mix of his AD from Voidlings and AP from spells allows him to be very versatile. I recently starting messing around with him in jungle and he clears surprisingly fast, as well as he ganks being generally strong if executed well. The only problem I see is countering Jungling. In the one or two PvP games I've done with this, luckily it hasn't happened to me.

How would Malzahar stand up in a counter jungle situation? I know he is a good duelist, but not as much early on. If I always had a Voidling ready after camp clears would I be able to successfully withstand, escape, or even win a counter-Jungle? And if I could, how would I go about doing so?

P.S. Would Spirit of the Spectral Wraith be a viable item to build for Malzahar?


texts: Find home in hardcore Minecraft with reduced debug information?

texts:
I am playing in a hardcore survival Minecraft single player world where I have reduced debug information. I am currently at my home but I'd like to explore. I cannot write down my co-ordinates and I cannot use a map because they are both limited in size and your position relative to the map disappears after a few hundred blocks.
How do I, without the use of mods or tools (programs, websites, etc), save and come back to my home after exploring my hardcore survival world with reduced debug information?
I have tried walking "only in one direction" however this is very boring and I tend to walk slightly to the left, meaning after 10K blocks I will not be able to "go straight back". Having a path of blocks is also not ideal because they can be difficult to set up properly. If I have a block placed a bit further down for some reason then I might not see it and then go in another direction searching.

To do this, I found a way with editing the server.properties at line "resource-pack=".
I tried a pack on mediafire and it worked.
Now I want to use something mine, my pack.

Here is what I did : copy the pack on the verygames storage through FTP, so it is accessible in "myftp"/games/minecraft/resourcepack/mypack.zip

In server.properties I edited the resource-pack line as the following :
ftp ://LOGIN:PASSWORD@ftp.verygames.net/games/minecraft/resourcespacks/mypack.zip
with the login and password that verygames provides for FTP access.

And it works.
You read and wait a lot, now come the questions :

Is that secure ? Is there leaks which would allow to get the LOGIN and/or the PASSWORD ? Or even to get directly to the server via FTP ?

I think it's good as far as I know EVERYTHING I put on the server.
I mean I was thinking of some spy/malware or even ransomware which could be in an other pack I could find on the web...

Thanks

texts: Is there a limit to the number of enemies spawned during the timed waves of the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer?

texts:
During several of the waves in the multiplayer component of Mass Effect 3, the players are tasked with shutting down a number of stationary objectives throughout the level in a set time limit instead of just killing all of the enemies in the wave. When I played on bronze, there were four objectives that had to be shut down in four minutes (I'm not sure if this varies by difficulty or not).

During this type of wave, has anyone determined whether enemies spawn indefinitely until the objectives are disabled? It would be nice to know whether thinning out the enemies first is a good strategy, or whether it's best to rush to the objectives since the enemies will keep replenishing.


texts:
I am in the process of configuring a Counterstrike: Global Offensive server and I was wondering if it is possible to change the active map group while the server is running, without having to restart the server process?

The map group is defined as part of launching the server process, and the server process in fact does not allow people to connect unless you have defined a map group (it gives players the loading screen where the map details and server mode information is usually displayed, but it never connects and eventually times out).

From what I can tell, map groups are defined in the gamemodes_server.txt file as follows;

"mapgroups"
{
    "mg_bomb"
    {
        "name"          "mg_bomb"
        "maps"
        {
            "de_dust"   ""
            "de_dust2"  ""
            "de_nuke"   ""
            "de_train"  ""
            "de_inferno"    ""
            "de_aztec"  ""
        }
    }

    "mg_hostages"
    {
        "name"          "mg_hostages"
        "maps"
        {
            "cs_italy"  ""
            "cs_office" ""
        }
    }
}

However, if I launch the game with +mapgroup mg_bomb, the call vote -> change map list only shows the maps from the map group 'mg_bomb' (ie: dust, dust 2, etc) but not the maps from mg_hostages. If I start the game with +mapgroup mg_hostages then I only see the maps from mg_hostages.

Is it possible to change the map group while the server is running?

The effect when leveling up has an "explosive" quality to it; and it seems like when I dinged near a mob it got thrown back, but I don't know if it was a (inanimate) corpse or still alive (or undead).

Does the level-up effect do AoE damage?

texts: What is the significance of the recommended height of a custom fighter?

texts:
When customizing a fighter in Soul Calibur 5, upon choosing your preferred weapon (or soul), the next prompt is for the height of your character. There are 5 choices, and one of them is selected by default and marked with a star. This default height is different for different weapons, and the text claims something about that being the "optimal" height for fighters of that weapon.

What does this mean? What does height affect, gameplay wise? What downsides are there for picking a height other than the recommended one?


texts: Is it possible to modify the ruleset so as to change stack destruction?

texts:
This is actually a follow up to a previous question of mine. It deals with the feature of the combat rules that destroys an entire stack of units (no matter how large) by a single unit as long as the single unit can kill the strongest unit in the stack. Why is this unrealistic? Well, because its unrealistic for a stack of 20 horsemen getting slaughtered by a single catapult. Or a fleet full of non-veteran battleships getting destroyed by a single veteran battleship. As much as some players hate stacking, this is just a deal breaker for me. Other methods to prevent stacking would be to inflict a little collateral damage on the stacked units like Civ 4 does.

So here is my question: Is it possible to incorporate such a change by modifying the ruleset file?


texts: What's the difference between Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal?

texts:
After seeing positive feedback about Persona 5 I decided to try it myself. But when I went to PS Store there are so many different versions and packs I'm confused which to buy. Across all packages and costume bundles I identified two major ones - Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal, and also found this question about them: Does Persona 5 Royal have all of Persona 5's DLC? , which suggest they are the same game.
What's the difference between them? Is "Persona 5 Royal" just "Persona 5" with all DLCs?


texts: Are you supposed to ignore the adds in boss fights?

texts:
Are the strike boss fights designed so that you are supposed to clear all the adds then focus on the boss, or will adds continue to spawn so that you can't ever really get ahead?

It's hard to tell since most of the people in queue want to rush the bosses. Traditional MMO experience tells me that the group would want to gain some breathing room first by eliminating other threats.

texts:
It seems that when I'm in a losing streak, I play against way better opponents than when I'm in a winning streak.

Does the LoL matchmaking system take the previous games results into account? Or am I dreaming?

Edit: I've played a lot of other competitive games like Dota or online poker, and experienced losing streaks, but it's generally due to fatigue or bad luck. In League of Legends, it feels like something else.


texts: How do I gain skill points from public dungeons?

texts: Editing Kerbal Space Program save files for KSO

texts:
Currently I've got a communications satellite in almost geosynchronous orbit around Kerbin. Unfortunately, it is not where I want it (I'd like it to be over the space center) and the orbit is off by enough that eventually it'll make a difference. I figure at this point I am as close as I'm ever going to be and I'd rather just cheat a little and edit the save files. Unfortunately, I don't know quite what I'm doing and I don't want to mess up.

texts: Can I have two spectral assassins at once?

texts:
I got the power to summon a spectral assassin from the dark brotherhood quest-line, but can I use my spectral assassin once, wait 24 hours, then do it again and have 2 spectral assassins? Also, can I have a spectral assassin as well as my current (human) follower.

I have read the Elder Scrolls wiki and it says the following:

  After being summoned, he will follow the Dragonborn around, no matter where they may be, until they summon another Familiar, Atronach, Raise Zombie, or when he is defeated.

Does this mean I can have 2 spectral assasins at once, since casting the power again is not summoning Familiars, Astronaches or raise zombies, or the assassin being defeated. Or does it fail due to too many followers.

Is it possible to get multiple spectral assassin this way, and can I get the assassins with a human follower?


texts: How do you pick up the water balloons in Skylanders Swap Force Wii chapter 14?

texts:
We have the Wii (not U) version of Skylanders Swap Force.  We can't get past the fire fighting with water balloons section of chapter 14.  How do you pick up and carry the water balloons?  The youtube videos I've seen they just walk over to the pump and touch the balloon, but when we try this the balloon immediately flies away as if thrown.  We can't carry them to where the fires are.

This seems like a bug.


texts: Does the same team bonus item have a greater chance to be a rarer item than usual?

texts: Per this question, there is an extra item involved when spinning your own team's gym disc. Is it better to spin as much of these discs because of the possibility of getting better drops from these spins as opposed to discs at gyms that other teams control (e.g. better balls, higher potions, better change for upgrade items)? Or is the drop rate the same regardless of who is in control of the gym?

texts: Do your damage effects last after your death?

texts:
So, now that I've been playing a lot of pvp, I am starting to find my in the occasional position of being out of place and about to go down with no hope of healing.  In these situations, I really want to hand out the most hurt before I have to cool off in the med center. As I'm playing a bounty hunter, I normally can switch over to blow everything mode and max my heat out before I go down, but I can't seem to tell if my Explosive dart is sticking around after me or not. I know the rest of my abilities that have already resolved do (for example: If I light someone on fire, the effect resolves as normal regardless of my status). On a related note, do you earn damage points for stuff that resolves while you are dead, or do you lose those few ticks?

As applies to warzones, please!

Is there any situation (again, discounting other "obvious" vote modifiers) where Hulk would be at risk of being lynched?

texts: How is damage dealt to enemies calculated?

texts:
I am trying to figure out how damage is calculated in Marvel Puzzle Quest.

I know how an easy 3 tile matches work - basically 3 times the amount of the highest team member's damage value for a given tile, but either my math is fuzzy or it doesn't work that way for Combos and 4, 5 or 7 tile matches.

Assuming I would like to maximize damage dealt, (and not tiles cleared or AP generated) how does the game determine how much damage my team does?


texts:
So I went and killed the stag to talk to Hircine. Then, when I went to the grotto Sinding wasn't there, he was on the road to Whiterun from Riverwood. I went to where he was but before I got there I was turned to a werewolf by the ring. I decided I'd keep going because I should've reverted by the time I got to him. I didn't and when I got to him he started running off towards the grotto.

When I got there after him and went inside, I didn't get the conversation with him on the rock. I managed to catch him before he killed all the hunters and agreed to help him. After we killed them, he started attacking me. No matter what I tried it wouldn't let me talk to him. I think me being a werewolf when I met him outside bugged the quest. I ended up killing him and got the hide from Hircine. I was wanting to get the ring but I didn't know what else I could try and I had no save to go back to before I met him because I'm really bad at saving frequently, I usually rely on autosave unless it's at an important part I don't want to mess up.

Does anyone know of if there was a way to calm him down and talk to him? It doesn't really help me now but if it ever happens again I'd like to know what I can do.

I am constantly, constantly running out of inventory space. I like to craft with my engineer and I'm on floor 28 so I'm pretty far down there. I'll probably play again with a Marine. Can someone give me some pointers that I may have missed about inventory management? What's useful, what isn't?

I do look up recipes so typically there is something I'm waiting to build, but the game is evil and gives me too many of one thing and never enough of another. I spent 5 levels hauling nothing but rifle ammo but no food and then another five levels fully fed with nothing but raw meat and no ammo.

Furthermore, I can't seem to selective pick things up off the ground. Any hints on inventory management?


texts: Where can I find an explanation of the various details on vehicle HUDs?

texts:
All of the different vehicles have complicated HUDs that provide all sorts of useful information. Some of this information I've been able to discover through trial and error (i.e. gun position in the rectangle at the bottom of the attack helicopter gunner view), but a lot of the other HUD details are lost on me.

I hear that you can see jet altitude, but I haven't been able to determine which number on the HUD corresponds to it.

Am I wrong in assuming that there might be useful data in vehicle HUDs, if I was able to read it? Has anyone done a useful guide on what info the HUDs display?

It seems to appear when facing Vulcan, i.e. it only appears on gods on the team opposing Vulcan. It looks like this:

Image taken from a past broadcast of Spooh.

My best guess is that it marks gods targeted by Vulcan's Inferno Cannon turret, but I'm not sure that I haven't seen it when a turret wasn't out.

Update: So, if it is turret target, there's a delay on when the mark dissipates after being unable to be targeted by the turret.

texts: Can you bypass stealing something if you have your companion inspect it?

texts:
I was in Diamond City at night with Strong and had him inspect an owned ammunition container belonging to Arturo. He took the items inside, and I traded with him and put them in my inventory. I then walked in front of a DC guard to see if he would become hostile, and he did not. I repeated this process multiple times, never crouched, and each time got off without anybody batting an eye.

Additionally, I had Strong take an item from off a table in front of Diamond City surplus, and Percy took it back in a calm manner (he did complain about 'having to put up with some people', but never became hostile).

Is this a bug in the game, being able to get away with theft if your companion inspects a container with the desired items inside? Or is it an interesting addition to the game?

EDIT: Had Strong steal a blood pack from Chem-I-Care. Guards became hostile, but did they become hostile because Solomon was not there to take it back?


texts:
I am having trouble getting any slimes to spawn in SMP. I have dug out 2 slime chunks with the floor at y=6.6, lit it up, and left it there for about 2 hours.

Nothing spawned.

Getting the world files, stripping all entities, and plugging them into SSP got me slimes almost immediately, in those chunks. Copying the world back to the server didn't make a difference.

On a related note, it seems that SSP will spawn way more mobs than SMP - I got pummeled by ~10 creepers in SSP, while in SMP, running into hostile mobs is a rare event.

Does this have to do anything with the server settings (I tested on Normal in SSP and hard in SMP), or did Mojang botch something up?

Proof this is a slime chunk:

texts: How do I make the XBox 360 slim recognise a USB backup?

texts:
I used to own an older model XBox 360 (the big white model). I took a USB backup of my saved games, etc. to an 8GB USB stick. I then needed to use this USB stick for something else, so I used dd on Linux to copy the entire drive's image to a file on my PC.

I eventually replaced the older XBox 360 with a newer XBox 360 Slim model. I took the exact same USB stick, used dd to put the image back on, and tried to recover my data from it. But the new XBox simply prompts me to configure it — it doesn't recognise the data on it at all.

I have to admit, it didn't even occur to me that a byte-for-byte image wouldn't work like this, so I don't really have any other backups. I've also tried letting the new XBox "configure" the USB stick and then (on Linux) replacing the files on it with the files from the mounted image I took, but again, I get prompted to reconfigure it.

How can I get the new XBox to recognise the USB drive formatted by the old model?

texts: How do I kill the high dragon in Dragon Age 2?

texts:
At some point in the third chapter of the game you encounter a high dragon.

   It is in the quest "Mine Massacre" in the bone pits.

Most of the combat so far in Dragon Age II is pretty easy, but this one drags on for a long time, consuming enormous amounts of potions and still that damned dragon just won't die. It doesn't help that the dragon seems to be immune to most special effect, which prevents me from using any of the awesome cross-class combinations.

Does this high dragon have any vulnerabilities? What are some effective tactics to kill it?

Not sure if anyone has been having this problem.. but, the colors seem a bit off. As if it was trying to render 3D. (Not quite, but it's the best way I could describe the weird coloring.)

texts: is GP10 still a viable choice as support?

texts:
With Season 3 here, lots of new items have been release. One in particular is the Sightstone, and if you didnt know this item allows you to basically have unlimited wards and a decent amount of health with an upfront purchase. My previous reasoning for GP10 was to make up for the lose of gold from purchasing tons of wards and having no serious income besides assists and the occasional minion/champion kill. Season 3 also upgraded the amount of gold you get over time, combine that with 3 quint GP10 ruins and masteries in GP10 your making a decent amount of gold.

So, would it be viable to change my build completely away from GP10 and rely on assists? I use Leona, Taric, Blitzcrank, or Alistar when I support (i have others but they are the best in my opinion). Although I havent gone back to Ranked since I started to mainly support, lots of assists are pretty easy to come by. My current build focuses half and half. Runes/Masteries have a focus around GP10 and survivability, while my item build focuses on damage and survivability.

There isn't much documentation on this game since it came out recently but does anyone know if I can recover lost R&D materials if I kill my past self? Also can I recover them if I am two generations from that hater?

I died and didn't have the credits to use the revive service (had already used the free one)
Got a new character (character B) and that one died almost immediately

Can I still recover the lost materials from Character A with my Character C (current instance).

I am sure it was probably mentioned in the tutorial messages but I skimmed most of those.

   eventually cleared out the entire map.  This involved finding an Alien Spaceship and several Alien Alloys.

After heading back,

   I upgraded both the engines and hull to level 6, then lifted off. I flew through space, dodging space debris, and I think I got hit 5 times (bringing my hull down to 1).  Eventually, though, my spaceship started moving on its own to the center of the screen, debris stopped coming, and the ship flew away. At least, I think it flew away, but for all I know, it blew up.  It wasn't obvious.

Afterward,

   the screen faded out.  Then I was back to square 1, in a dark room with a cold fire.

Is that the only ending?  Or did I mess up?  It wasn't quite clear.

I'm okay with it as an ending, but since it was pretty vague I don't know if I messed up somehow and missed something.

texts: Minecraft Bedrock player save file locations

texts:
I am working with a server here. There are many players in the server, and I want to see where the player-data files are stored. According to this link ( How can I get the inventory of another player on a LAN World? ), there should be a folder named "players" in the world's save folder. However, I only see a folder called "db" (with many .ldb files) and also the files "level.dat", "level.dat_old", and "levelname.txt".

Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

texts:
Okay, so I may have left the sim Child unattended for a few hours without calling a babysitter.  All was fine and they even did their homework but then Social Services turned up and stole the child!  At least I'm hoping it was Social Services, it was quite a non-descript brown van.

Is there any way to get back a child taken into custody by Social Services in The Sims 2?

I tried phoning the adoption service but they declined as I'd already had a child taken away.


texts:
I play a lot of FPS games in windowed mode, particularly TF2.  I find that when I need to make a quick turn and then fire, I will occasionally exit the window by clicking outside of it.  Especially unfortunate since I'm usually trying to aim during this.

What causes this unfortunate 'clicking-out' effect? And also, is there a way to fix it?


texts: How do I defeat Orthros in Glory of Heracles (DS)?

texts:
The Nintendo DS title "Glory of Heracles" is a turn based RPG.

Orthros is a boss character in a mine.  The tricky thing about defeating him seems to be that when you think you've got him beat, he doubles or triples. I've killed him seventeen times, or more, but each time I do a final attack that has enough HP damage to finally kill him, he survives it, and replicates.  I'm randomly experimenting with the magic I have available, and physical attacks ,and it seems that the "elemental ether scores" at the top of the screen are the key to the puzzle, and if one can find attacks that show an up-arrow icon then they are 'more effective'...  The party has three characters, level 9 at the beginning of the battle, in my case.  This may also be part of the problem. Perhaps you need to grind longer and arrive at this quest with level 10 and more magic?

I'm a new gamer and don't play much. I started playing yesterday and I get to a point where I finish robbing the bank and then killing the cops to get in the car that crosses the train. After the prologue I take control of Franklin who is with Lamar. I then steal a car and chase Lamar. I never finish that part but then next time it starts all over again.

How do I save it so I can start from where I steal the car and not robbing the bank?


texts: At what level / IV perfection should we power our Pokemon?

texts:
so we know each Pokemon as a level and an IV(Indivudual Value) which determine CP. You can learn more here : https://pokeassistant.com/main/ivcalculator

What I was wondering is, at what point should we consider powering up a lvl 20 Pokemon (from an egg the max lvl is 20) to 30 (which is the max lvl for wild Pokemons). The rarity, IV % and moves are certainly some factors.

For example is it worth powering up a Dratini with 95% IV perfection from lvl 20 to 30 ? Or should you look for a wild lvl 30 with less IV % ?

I'm not especially looking for a concrete answer, except if there is a tool somewhere, but rather for answer pieces.


texts: What is the best strategy to staying alive?

texts:
I've been playing a lot of this game lately and I've tried many things to keep alive while trying to get crates. I've tried spamming mines, but I never manage to have more than 4 at once. My only tactic is to get as many crates as I can while shooting anything that gets in my way. While this works for the first few crates, I find myself overrun with enemies or accidentally jumping into them.

Any ways to stay alive while collecting crates?


texts: Why does my sleeping bag say "Collect [enter number here] Survivor Points" when I try to wait till day or wait till night on Dying Light?

texts:
When I try to wait till day or wait till night at my sleeping bag, it will occasionally say "Collect [enter random number here] Survivor Points"... Why does it do this?  I have only seen it a few times, but when I do see it, it's a really crazy number (like in the hundred-thousand to ten-millions range).
I have already done plenty of research on this topic, but as far as i can tell, nobody else has seen this.

texts: Is there a correct way to counter a tank marine drop as Zerg?

texts:
I find that I keep getting destroyed to a tank/marine drop in my mineral line. This generally happens early game before I'm two base saturated and have roach ling bane. (for the obvious MMM deathball from a scout).

When you do a scout for Terran initially (10 supply), you can't tell this is going to happen to my knowldege. When I sacrifice an overlord at say 6:30, you still just see a Factory and a Starport. This is still indicative to a MMM push.

My question is, do I just blow all my money on static defense and leave my entire army ready to deal with it or is there a better way?

texts: Are there replays of bad (new) players with commentary?

texts:
I know, sounds dumb, but bear with me a sec.

People here have posted links to tons of high-level replays with commentary. (Thanks.) They're awesome fun, and I can learn a little.

But since I'm a low-level player, it's a lot like watching Iron Chef: experts way above my current skill/understanding level duke it out, while expert commentators point out strategy errors so subtle that I often don't even understand why they're errors.

Are there commentary replays of low-to-mid level matches?

Tutorials like SC2 Noob School and Shokz are great, but they're not the same as watching a real match. And while it wouldn't be as sexy a gig for the commentators, it'd be a great teaching tool: watching 1,000 things go wrong, and having an expert point out which are most common, and which are most important to fix.
