To start off, I just want to say this is probably easy but I am tired and just getting the hang of this.

clear @a iron_boots 0 1 {display:{Name:"JumpBoost"}}

I don't really use the /clear command, so I am lost.

texts: What is the most efficient arrangement of Iron Golem Spawners in a chunk to maximize drops?

texts:
I came up across a very interesting problem on an online server that I play on.

They had a plugin called chunk collector, which instantly kills all mobs in a particular chunk that are spawned, and collects it's drops. There is no y limit of the chunk collector. Following are the conditions:

Chunk Collector: instantly kills all mobs in a chunk
Given infinite iron golem spawners
One chunk collector
One player who has to be afk/not moving

Question: What is orientation of spawners to get the best drop rate?

texts: I don't seem to be able to avoid shooting all monsters. In the beginning, you are taught the trick with the rotting meat and the space in the wall where you can hide, but it's the only place in the game with such a space to hide!

I read it's even possible to finish the game without killing any monster, but I don't see how you can avoid them if you can only walk to the left/right.


texts: Does Cyclone Strike have some kind of hidden stun?

texts:
The description for Cyclone Strike reads:

  Pull all enemies within 24 yards towards you, followed by a furious
  blast of energy that deals 100% weapon damage as Holy.

I use this skill constantly on my Monk tank, and I've noticed anytime I use this skill, enemies stop attacking for a second to re-orient themselves. The pause is so noticeable that I've started using this skill when I'm desperate, just to stop attacks for a second so I can regen hp and wait for cooldowns.

If I have the spirit for it, I can even chain together multiple Cyclone Strikes to prevent taking almost any damage at all for a few seconds since the skill has no cooldown and I use the Eye of the Storm rune to reduce the cost of this skill

Am I just imaging things, or is there really some kind of hidden stun involved in Cyclone Strike?

I've recently started getting back into Battlefield : Bad Company 2, and stumbled upon a problem I recall having back when I used to play the game more:
Where can I check my medal progress?
I noticed that in certain kill cams, you can see the weapon used to kill you, as well as a corresponding 'rank' associated with the weapon (represented by a little star beside the weapon), which I believe to be dictated by the number of gold stars gotten with the weapon. This led me to wanting to see the 'ranks' of my own weapons, and what others might see when I kill them. So if these stars are dictated by gold stars achieved with the weapon, where can I check my own gold stars earned, as well as any pending progress with my weapons?
To clarify a bit: when I say medal progress, I am referring to the medals that require a certain threshold to be met (x number of kills before my next gold star, weapon efficiency pins, etc) before being awarded, as well as any other related medals that require playing to progress. I've checked the Progress tab after the end of a round, but since I've already unlocked all weapons with all classes, this tab displays nothing

texts: Are there any Terraria biomes that can't be transplanted to another location in the world?

texts:
I've figured out that certain biomes in Terraria can be transplanted - mine or collect enough materials from the original biome (for instance mud blocks and jungle grass seeds) and then plant them somewhere else at the right altitude (above or below ground). The biome should then take root and the biome's own monsters, music and background will appear. The corrupt and hallow biomes even spread on their own in hardmode.

Are there any biomes that can't be replicated just by transplanting tiles? If I use a pickaxe and hammer to steal a bunch of bricks and wall sections from the dungeon, could I make my own dungeon somewhere else and get dungeon enemies to spawn? What about the ocean biome? Do I just need sand and a big enough body of water for sharks to appear, or will they only spawn near the edge of the map?

texts: In Civ 5, how exactly do agreements affect relations with other civs?

texts:
OK, so I just moved from emperor to immortal level and its becoming a bit tricky to me. The main problem is that I somehow manage to piss off all my neighbours way too soon :(

The only obvious diplomatic option to keep good relations is a pact of cooperation. But do such things as trade and research agreements or open border treaties make actual impact on your relations? If so, what are their relative values? Also, apparently giving money to other civs should make them happy, but how much should I give to make any impact?

In Civ 5 (unlike in civ 4, where it was clearly identified positive or negative points for diplomatic relations) it all is very vague, basically what you have to do is read the leaders body language. Which I think actually is very realistic. So the only two ways I can think of answering this question is:

to try and dig in some modding options, like some default values is some .xml files or anything, does the modding affect diplomacy at all?
to share your experience.

So I shall share my experience in my own answer.


texts: Can you buff movement while wielding a (Golden) Hammer?

I’m making Spirit presets for smashing with my friends, and the Mini Mario w/Hammers spirit’s trait of Increased Hammer Duration seemed like a fun build-around.

I have Item Gravitation and Battering Items ↑, but what it really needs is faster movement or further jump height.

Are all fighters locked into the same movement and jump when wielding a Hammer or Golden Hammer? Skills like Lightweight and Movement ↑ seem to have no effect. Also, each character seems to have the same movement capabilities when swinging a hammer, so is it just hardcoded to always be the same?

texts: Racing profitably with expensive cars in Real Racing 3

texts:
I've completed about 50% of Real Racing 3, own 29 cars and my driver level is 72. As I progress towards the series with the really slick (and expensive) cars, I'm starting to notice I'm making hardly enough money to cover repairs after race. Pushing from the 22nd position to the podium in about three laps requires some rather brutal driving, and even with somewhat clean racing my cars seem to decay faster than most isotopes of uranium. Winning R$8,500 from a race and repairing the car for R$8,400 gets rather frustrating fast.

How can I turn this around and start making money to afford even faster cars? Should I just keep replaying the races that net more than R$10,000? Or are there some hidden rewards besides the tiny bonus for 100% series completion?

texts: Is there any information about the coral reef generation algorithm or a reference of possible coral structures?

texts:
With version 1.13, the Update Aquatic, Minecraft introduced coral blocks into the game, most prominently found in naturally generated coral reefs in warm ocean biomes, where they build elaborate tree-like structures.

However, what I haven't found so far is a proper reference as to how exactly the coral block structures in a coral reef generate. The Wiki on coral reefs and coral blocks seems to be rather scarce on that information. Though, the world generation aspects of Minecraft are often deciphered quite accurately and I wouldn't consider this a matter all too different or more complicated than tree growth. Or at least for someone to have made an analysis of the different structures that can be generated in a coral reef, yet googling on the issue wasn't all too successful.

So, is there already some analysis of the exact coral generation algorithm or at least some proper reference, even if home-made, showing the various distinct structures that are generated from coral blocks as part of a reef?


texts: What are the chances of elemental effects of the attacks in Age of Wonders I?

texts:
When striking someone with an elemental attack, e.g. Poison Darts, or Lightning Strike, there is a chance to apply a secondary effect depending on damage type, e.g. deal damage over time if the target is set on fire by a fire-based attack, or disabling the target for 1 turn if the target was affected by a status effect of a lightning-based attack.

However, I would like to know: What is the chance of applying such a condition?

texts: Are class-specific weapons better than other weapon?

texts:
While playing D3, I got some good Fist weapons with my monk, but even better swords, axes, etc.

So I chose the one who give me more dps, even using dual-wield.

But then I read this:

  Fist weapons allow monks to utilize their well-practiced hand-to-hand
  combat styles, but supplement them with knife blades, toughening hand
  wraps, or knuckle spikes.

Source

Here is a list that I found of unique class gear.

Wizard

Wands
Orbs
Wizard Hats

Demon Hunter

Hand Crossbows
Quivers
Cloaks

Witch Doctor

Ceremonial Knives
Mojos
Voodoo Masks

Barbarian

Mighty Weapons
Mighty Belts

Monk

Fist Weapons
Daibo
Spirit Stones

Should I pick Fist weapons even when they do a little less dps than, for example, a sword?

But that one doesn't really bother me. the next one however is a real pain. I have smelted multiple metals.

texts: Does clicking a Pokémon on the map determine if it's shiny or not?

texts:
I read this comment earlier (quoted in case it's removed, emphasis mine) and If a Pokémon is shiny for someone, is it shiny for everyone in the same location?:

  I also can confirm this: I just had a regular Magikarp on the map. Once the battle started it was yellow and had sparkles. So yeah, you need to invoke the battle. It wasn't shiny for another person, though

The same Pokémon was shiny for one person and not another. This surprises me, because Pokémon are otherwise the same for all: same IVs and same CP for people on the same level (this has been my experience, playing with my partner of the same level; however, this does not appear to be other people's experience)

What determines the shiny nature of a Pokémon? Is it determined for each player when it spawns, or when a player clicks the Pokémon? Does running and re-entering affect this (i.e. does running from a shiny and reclicking it keep its shininess)?

Answering the last question should be enough to answer the first two.

texts: What is the ideal play through path for the GOTY Edition of Borderlands?

texts:
I am back on a Borderlands kick and am at a loss for an "optimized" play though sequence of play though 1 & 2 of the core game and the 3 expansions (Zombie Island, General Knoxx and Claptrap's).

I know that play through 2.5 (meeting the evil in a can a second time) makes all the mobs your level for the rest of the core game. Does that also bump play though 2 mobs in the DLC to your level if you haven't completed them? How about DLC play though 1 mobs?

There seems to be way more content than leveling available and I rather avoid facerolling as much as possible.

After doing a recent system update, I can no longer run a game and YouTube at the same time.

We are 2 players who tried to play a ROM over ZSNES 1.42 on two different machines using the Netplay Function.

We have no problems to connect our computers to each other using netplay, when he (Player #1) starts as a server and I (Player#2) connect to his computer as a client using his IP address.

We also got the game running on both our machines:

Player#1 starts the game and via netplay Player#2 can see the same screen as P#1 with audio, video and P#1's navigation on the screen. After starting the game in 2 Player Mode, P#1 is able to navigate through game menus, move the character etc. but P#2 can't move, navigate or do anything inside the game using the keyboard settings that he configured.

P#2 will be able to pause the game, change his configs and restart the game again in the emu but input via keyboard seems to be ignored for most in-game commands. Sometimes, when the game is restarted one key might work for p#2, but all the others which were set in the P#2 input configs are still ignored.

Here are the specifications of our systems and which settings we already tried:

Player#1

acts as netplay server
Windows 7 - 32-bit
ZSNES 1.42
playing with Gamepad
Config Input#1: Keyboard/Joystick
COnfig Input#2: None (no key set for any control)

Player#2

acts as netplay client
Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS or Windows 7 -32 bit
ZSNES 1.42 (in Ubuntu and in Windows)
playing with keyboard
Config Input#1: None (no key set for any control)
Config Input#2: Keyboard/Joystick

We first assumed that the differing OS of our machines would be a problem but running the game under Ubuntu or under Windows for P#2 results in the very same problem.

Do you have any  ideas for this?
Thanks in advance!


texts: Example: I read a red spellbook, it crumbles and blinds me. It then asks me what to call it. What's the point of this? What am I supposed to do? I've read the NetHackWiki on the naming article but I don't understand what the hell it's used for. Thanks in advance.


texts:
Is there a way to completely start the game over?  Some things in the game are altered between runs and are permanently changed.  For example, there is a broom closet in the left hallway that has interesting dialogue.  If you enter it a second time on another play-through, you get more dialogue.  From then on, the room is boarded up and cannot be entered.

Is there a was to start clean without reinstalling the game or anything?


texts: What is the point of the Anti-Gadoid gun in Dying Light?

texts:
I found the Anti-Gadoid gun (http://dyinglight.wikia.com/wiki/Anti-Gadoid_Gun) but can't figure out what to do with it:

I have seen on the web (link above):

  The Anti-Gadoid Gun is a troll by the developers

Is that right?  It doesn't do anything?  You can't use it on a side quest or something?

texts:
So, my earlier problems with Empire Earth and Empire Earth: Art of Conquest seem to have oddly self-resolved.  Now, I am wondering whether I actually need to play both games or if I can safely just dive into Art of Conquest?

To this end, I have a few questions to help me choose:

Is Art of Conquest just a sequel to Empire Earth, or is it an expanded version of the original?
Are all of EE's original missions and storyline covered, if I start a new campaign in AoC?
Would I miss anything if I were to completely disregard and never play Empire Earth - only playing the Art of Conquest game?


texts: Battery Saver on Pokemon Go makes Screen go Black with only Logo showing?

texts:
So, I have a Samsung Galaxy s6 edge in which i downloaded Pokemon Go 2 days ago. I decided to try Battery Save Mode but it ended up making my screen go black with only the Pokemon Logo barely showing through and music playing in the background. I tried facing it down, facing it upward, covering the front and back sensors, tapping my screen like mad in hopes that it would trigger something and make it return to me but to no avail. I don't want to uninstall and re-install because i don't wanna lose my precious Pokemon I walked so much to get :(

Are any of you guys having the same problem?
Am i dumb and just missed something?

Can anyone help?
I would really appreciate it guys! Thanks!


texts: How are Sink and Float used effectively?

texts:
In the Guild Wars 2 previews I was intrigued by the Sink and Float mechanics as a means to control underwater battles. However, I've not seen it much in the released game (in PvE, at least, which I play mostly). My thief has no relevant abilities that I know of but the official wiki list of Sink/Float skills isn't long so it appears to be fairly unimportant.

The only useful effect I could think of off the top of my head is preventing a human opponent in PvP/WvW from getting to the surface when they're drowning, which is the only application mentioned on the wiki as well.

Is this effect worth the effort? Does Float have similar applications against water-breathers (e.g. force a shark to the surface to prevent it from breathing)?


texts: Purchased a PS3 with games already on it

texts:
My wife, because she is wonderful, bought me a PS3 for Christmas. She bought it used on craiglist and probably paid extra for it because it already had a LOT of games on it.

I am wondering, if I set up my own PSN account and download other content, will I lose access to the games that the previous owner purchased? Or should I not have access to them in the first place? Is the previous owner able to purchase a new PS3 and download all of these games again? If I connect this thing to the internet will it check in and disable this content?


texts:
I'm trying to participate in faction wars (conflict zones) but my problem is that I'm completely ineffective. I have 2 beam lasers and 2 multi cannons on my Viper but I can't really fight anything. I either die or have to escape because I'm low on health.

I spend most of my time spinning because I try to face my target and when I finally do I have like 3-4 seconds to fire at them then we pass next to each other so I have to turn again. This goes on and on while they somehow keep firing at me without me being able to fire back. This is extremely frustrating. What am I doing wrong?

texts: When is reward decided with Dynamic Quest Rewards?

texts:
I haven't played much during the later part of Cataclysm so my gear isn't that great, In the beta it doesn't matter much since all gear is normalized when in dungeon(All gear is set to ilevel 390 no matter previous ilevel), but once it goes live I am afraid my gear will be lacking to tank instance so my plan was to DPS and grab tank spec rewards until I have enough gear to tank my self.

But in MoP Blizzard introduced 'Dynamic Quest Rewards' making the quest only offer you rewards useful for your class/spec. So my question is when is reward decided for a Dynamic Quest Reward? Do I need to be in tank spec when picking up the quest, when handing it in or both?


texts: "Preferred Graphics Processor" setting in NVIDIA control panel is missing, how to restore?

texts:
Some games allow selecting a specific graphics output, for those that don't, I'd like to specify a different default than is currently used. This should be possible with the NVIDIA Control Panel:

It should have an option to select the preferred graphics processor.

Changing this setting has worked as expected in Path of Exile, however in the Control Panel I don't have this option at all. My one graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080. My 2 monitors are connected through a DVI connector (the current default) and a DisplayPort connector, both directly on the graphics card.

Does anyone know why this option isn't available?


texts: Can an allied Elise steal Orianna's Ball?

texts:
Orianna has the ability to throw her ball to allied champions to give them a shield with Command: Protect. The ball then can be used as the point of origin for her other skills.

Elise has the ability to rappel into the air and drop onto an enemy. This ability makes her untargetable by enemies but DoT effects continue to effect her. Since the shield/ball from Orianna is a buff I assume it would stay.

However, I wanted confirmation that when she landed she still had Orianna's ball on her or if it depended on the distance traveled (since the ball has to stay within a certain radius of Orianna) since Command: Protect still respects the ball leash range.

texts:
Jackbox Party box allows players to play using their smartphones, tablets, and computers instead of the controllers.

100 people (as the game advertises as max players) certainly won't fit in my small game room. Even 4 would get crowded.

How much of the game's "information" is displayed on the TV? Could I effectively play with friends who aren't even in the same house? It is possible to share the room code over the internet after all.

Would streaming the game be viable?


texts: Can my Artisans reach level 5 in normal difficulty?

texts: What happens if you don't take the supplies from the car?

texts:
This question contains major plot and ending spoilers. Seriously, don't read any more if you plan to ever play this game.

  When you find Clementine at the end of the game, it turns out that the person she's been talking to was the owner of the car from which you choose to either take the supplies or leave them.  In my play-through, I took them.  Now, the only reason he gives for everything he's done is that you took his supplies. So what happens if you don't? Is the stranger another person altogether? Does he give another reason for stalking you?

texts: How much health does the Leechade spirit grant per hit?

texts:
In Bastion, after upgrading the shop, you can buy the spirit Leechade. This results in reduced potenecy of health tonics, but also grants health when striking foes. However, it doesn't specify how much health is gained per hit. I'm also uncertain as to whether this applies to all attacks, or just melee attacks. Consdering it costs a 1000 fragments, I'd prefer to know this before buying it.

How much health is restored per hit with Leechade? Also, does it apply to all attacks or just melee attacks?

texts: Is Gwent really difficult until you hoard up all the cards?

texts:

Enemies seem to have a ton of special cards - spies, pack cards, heroes and other nasty effects.

I, on the other hand, have only managed to get a buff spell and a training dummy, as well as some generic grunt cards. As it is, I'm really not interested in playing gwent any more, because I get beat up almost every single time...

Do I need to scour the lands for all the cards I can find before this becomes any kind of fun, or is there a trick to this game that I seem to be missing?

texts:
When Gold/Silver came out, I remember being excited that I could transfer over Pokemon from RBY, given a friend's GBA and a link cable. That's the generation I stopped at, but I'm curious if the practice continued indefinitely.

Can I have a Pokemon originally caught in every (mainline) game in ORAS, given the old games and all the necessary consoles and accessories? How far does this extend to (trade-capable) spinoffs, like Colosseum? If I wanted to do this, and had all the games, what consoles and accessories would I need?

texts: What do the blue colored skill icons indicate?

texts:
So I was looking to upgrade one of my skills and noticed that Packmaster was colored blue. At first I thought that the blue colored upgrades were the selected upgrades when more than one are unlocked (e.g. Domination), but in the case of Packmaster, that's the only available upgrade for that skill. None of the others are colored this way, they're just white or greyed out. And it can't be a story unlock, Packmaster was just a regular upgrade.

What does the blue color for the icons indicate?

Domination is blue, but Packmaster is as well


texts: How much destruction can I cause to a building?

texts:
When playing Battlefield 3, I've noticed that unlike many other shooters, I can actually damage buildings and other forms of cover.  This is an interesting game mechanic, but I'm curious about its limits.

Is there a maximum amount of damage that I can do to a given structure?  Can I cause it to collapse completely?  Are there only certain structures that can be damaged?  Beyond just blindly firing explosive weapons into a building, how do I tell if I can or can't do (additional) damage to a building?

texts: Can I predict where the werecreatures will spawn?

texts:
I have mixed feelings about invaders. On one hand, I like goblin invasions, because I can loot their equipment for iron, and also because I can try various fun tactics (e.g. cages). On the other hand, I hate werecreature invasions - no loot, and messy to deal with.

I can disable invasions entirely using dfhack, but I cannot do it selectively - what I would like to do is enable only the goblin invasions.

So my idea is to implement some universal tactic on werecreatures - kill them in some easy, safe and uninteresting manner. For that, I want to predict where they will appear, and then arrange obstacles in some way, so they will be unable to attack my fortress, and could be smashed easily, e.g. using a drawbridge.

So, how can I predict where they will appear? So far, I have seen them appear only on the surface, and always outside my fortress, but always close enough so I had no time to pull a lever - while goblins always appear near map edge, where there is enough time to raise the drawbridge.

Is there any way to aim the cannon where you want to or are you limited to just where its fixed arc points?

texts: Minecraft mechanism to separate merged carts?

texts:
Is there any known mechanism to take two or more moving ‘stacked’/‘merged’ minecarts (occupying the same space) and separate them automatically? I have seen splits happen at T-junctions, but haven't been able to reproduce them.

(For some reason merges happen spontaneously in my cart stack when I save and reload.)

I have thought of a mechanism to extract merged carts (send a slow cart up a slope; if it hits the top it was a double cart, but if it goes back down it was a single) but not one to separate them and put them back in service.

One phenomenon that might be useful that I have found is that bumping into carts while they are in a cart stack tends to cause one of the merged carts to ooze out of the stack (if it has room to move, i.e. the stack is boxed in on one side but not the other).

texts: Is there anyway to tell what level is needed to open treasure chests in the Shifting Tombs other than attempting to open it?

texts:
Recently, a big update to Runescape introduced Menaphos (well, the ability to finally enter it after 12 years).  Within the city is the new Thieving minigame called the Shifting Tombs.  One of the objectives in this minigame is to open all the treasure chests and loot them.  Now, in a solo game, the game scales to your level.  However, you can play this game with up to four other players (a total of 5).

When you play with other people, the scaling seems to change depending on the party.  Because of this, some of the chest appear to be set to a higher skill level than I am.  For example, one version of the chest requires you to use your Thieving skill.  Most of the time, it requires 99 (the maximum) to open it.  I am only a mere 81 Thieving so I cannot open it.  But the only way to know what level the chest is is to attempt to open it to which a message pops up saying "You need 99 Thieving to unlock this chest" or something to that tune.

Is there any way to tell what level is needed to open a chest besides attempting to open it? Trying to open it when you don't meet the level requirement wastes valuable time in this timed minigame.

In Assassin's Creed Revelations when attacking a Templar Tower and I'm fighting a large group of guards, I often get heavily wounded from gunfire. This seems to come from guards hiding in an extension of the buildings or in a guard house.

texts: Can I change the ID number on a Pocketstation with anything other than a PDA with infrared output?

texts:
I bought a Pocketstation some time ago, since I'm a big fan of Final Fantasy 8, and wanted to get everything in the game.  I read up on guides, and one(possibly the only one) mentioned that the code that was set on the Pocketstation determined what grade of items you could get in Chocobo World, with most codes not even able to get "A" grade items.  However, if you battled someone else with a better code, you could take theirs, and change the inherent code the device was initially programmed with.  Barring that, you could force a code change with PDAs that used infrared signal, and even set the code to the best possible one, 211, without much trouble.

Well, I have no such PDA, but I do have a tiny computer known as a smart phone at arm's length at almost all times. Is it possible to do anything like that with this device that basically amounts to a tricorder, at this point?

'Cause that'd be sweet.

How do I consistently get the animation where everyone switches paradigms at the same time?

This has me wondering if it works for allowing me to stand up after having been knocked over. If not, are there any other ways that I would be able to stand up more quickly after being knocked over?


texts: How do I remove the limit on PC keyboard button presses?

texts:
Whenever I play a PC game with the directional keys, I can only press two buttons at a time.  For instance if I am playing a shooter like R-Type, I cannot hold down the fire button while moving diagonally at the same time.  The computer simply ignores the extra button press.

How do I remove this limit so I can shoot while moving diagonally?  This limitation seems to apply for every game.

I am running Windows 7 if it makes any difference.  I noticed the same problem back when I used Windows XP.

texts: Where does the other Ryder go after the end of Mass Effect Andromeda ('s main quest)?

texts:
Playing as Sara Ryder, I can talk to my brother Scott in the Meridian area - formerly the Hyperion Habitation Deck - during the post-endgame "party" scene. But after that, I can't find Scott anymore, either on Meridian, or in the Nexus (at least the parts I've searched).

Where is Scott hiding? (Conversely, where is Sara hiding, for those who play as male/Scott Ryder?)


texts:
I am playing All My Gods and in order to progress, I need to acquire the Laurel Wreath so I can then use another obelisk of the gods to open up more space for my civilization to grow into.

Problem is, I have no idea how to get the Laurel Wreath. I am not sure if I need more civilization points, or need to research certain things, or have a certain number/type of buildings.

What do I need to do to get the Laurel Wreath?


texts:
According to Terraria wiki entry for Sawmill crafting; it requires the following:

10 Wood
2 Iron Bars
1 Iron Chain

As shown in the screenshot below, I'm meeting all the requirements(rather I've more objects than required)

As can be seen; I have 32 wood, 15 Iron bars and 1 Iron chain(3rd row, 5th column). Still no option to craft a sawmill is displayed either on workbench or on Anvil!

Is this a bug?

EDIT

I should mention that it is a multi-player instance(in case, it has anything to do with the issue).

texts:
Presumably, this is supposed to be the R&D Department, or Research and Development Department, but given that this is the Gungeon, I can't help but feel it must be some gun related pun.

I can't find any information on the wiki or anywhere in the Ammonomicon entries, so presumably it's just an ambiguous R&G Dept.  But if there is a meaning, what do they stand for?


texts: How does the bonus system work in Uncharted 3?

texts:
Does Uncharted 3 simply not have a bonus menu like UC2, or do you have to do beat it on crushing to fully unlock it?

Maybe I misremember things, but it seemed like UC2 had a menu system with lists of trophies won, weapons that could be equipped, and various skins, mirror modes, etc. Initially most of these were locked, but you could see that they existed; even before completing on crushing. I just don't see anything in the main menu system of UC3 that leads to that information. All I can find is player statistics, and the list of treasures found.

Does UC3 just not have that menu system? If that's the case, how do you even know which trophies you have and don't have?

What is the procedure I need to undertake in order for the saves to be synced?

Thanks.


texts: Other users being able to access DLC that I've purchased using Microsoft Points

texts: Is Planet-side navigation in No Man's Sky actually like traversing the surface of a sphere?

texts:
I am beginning to suspect that navigating planet-side is not like traversing the surface of a sphere. If so, what shape should I imagine to aid in navigation?

I assumed a sphere, but my instincts keep getting confounded. Various things have made me suspicious: travel time to markers not being what I expect, markers seeming to shift position while flying at 1500u in the stratosphere, and so on.

I have not ruled out my earthbound mind becoming befuddled since I've never circumnavigated a planet for real, especially from a spacecraft. So I performed the following test.

I made a beacon. From the stratosphere, I flew until the beacon flipped from behind me to in front of me. That must mean it was on the farthest side of the world. At that point, it was 2 hours away at 150u. I flew straight down and landed. Without moving, the beacon was reported as 6 minutes away (via Nomad). This makes no sense!

The beacon marker had a tall vertical line, which indicates it was far around the curve of the planet. I had previously found a crash site, and its marker showed it to be 2 hours away, but it had same length line as the beacon.

The beacon marker and crash site marker were in the same 180° slice of the sky. I approached the crash site on my Nomad. The beacon marker and crash site marker converged. My gut tells me that, in this case, they should get farther apart as I approach one. Also, the travel time to the beacon went up from 6 minutes as I approached.


texts: How do you obtain the Halloween 2017 masks?

texts:
In the Halloween 2017 Event new masks were added to the game.

  Seven Deadly Sins Masks

  The Cursed Kill room comes with 7 sinful masks to collect. To get a mask you need to open some safes first so get cracking.

I already played the new Cursed Kill Room Heist plenty of times:

  We are releasing the Cursed Kill Room a limited time event heist. During the next two weeks you can go in and crack open as many safes as you can. The timer only counts down when you are not protecting a safe, so be fast when securing the loot. You can gain extra time by shooting cops.

Do I need to open the safes from this new heist? Or are they talking about the usual safes that drop randomly once per week?

texts: Why my miners are not using my stockpile?

texts:
I decided to put a stockpile near my mine to minimize the resource move time, but instead they are just dropping the iron to the dirt, when there's a stockpile right in front of it. What I'm doing wrong?

Improving the question, is it true that miners only mine and do not drop the iron at the nearest stockpile?

Well, it's getting real ironic how the guys at the quarry do their job but the miners don't:

texts: Is there any difference in the behaviour of the different kingdoms rulers?

texts:
In Mount & Blade Warband, are there different behaviour models for the kings of their respective countries?

It's known that King Haurlaus of Swadia has a reputation for going to war, but is this due to his behaviour being different or Swadia just being in the middle of the map?

Other potential behavioural differences could for example include the intervals between hosting of feasts, the sharing of conquered lands to established lords as well as newcomers in the realm or general diplomatic behaviours (like treaties, trade agreements and so on).

Sub question: If not, does this change with any of the mod packs released for this game?

texts: Rules for succesfully capturing various aliens in XCOM

texts:
I've advanced somewhat into the game (I think I'm past the first half, have done the Alien Base and 7-8 missions after it), and I'm still puzzeled about which aliens I can capture and under what conditions.

Here's what I've learned:

Some aliens are completly un-capturable/un-zappable, like the alien disk
Some need to be real low on life to be zapped (like Mutons must have less than 3 life)
for some aliens it seems (and I might be wrong) that given the same species and the same amount of life, sometimes the zap is succesfull, sometimes it's not (like the human looking alien, with 3 life, sometimes I zap it and it goes down, sometimes it doesn't work)

My question is then:

What are the unzappable alien species, and for those that are zappable, which ones need special conditions for zapping and what are those conditions?

Update: It is stolen art. The original has been found here thanks to Martin Sojka.

texts: What is required to keep the peace (for now) with a fallen empire?

texts:
i'm still in my first game of stellaris (which is my first paradox game so this question might seem silly to experienced grand strategy buffs but i've just switched from civ:be to stellaris) and i wonder what might trigger a violent reaction from the fallen empire (except declaring war on them, obviously)... to avoid exactly that.

the fallen ones are fanatic xenophiles but neither pacifistic nor militaristic and a couple of smaller campaigns against other "regular" empires didn't seem to bother them (my standing with them remained pretty much unchanged).

but as the game progresses i'm getting worried that they might become hostile because i might do something stupid that sets them off, so any hints/experiences regarding diplomacy with fallen empire would be greatly appreciated.

So again is TF recommended for AP Kennen? (I know there is a AD Kennen but I dont feel like doing so).

texts: Mass Effect 2 and 3 - Any way to stop Garrus Dying?

texts:
Firstly i just want to apologise if any of my information is incorrect. I took a long (Hopefully long enough) look at the Garrus Vakarian information on the Mass Effect Wikia page.

I notice in ME2 and 3, there's a risk of Garrus dying (Higher in ME3 apparently). I'd like to save him as i think he's quite an awesome squad member and character overall. I am partway through ME2, have just recruited Mordin after getting Garrus and done a few side-missions (Last one completed was the mechs destroying some crates..cant recall exact mission name). From what i can tell Garrus in ME2 will only die if i dont save him in time when on the bridge at Omega, if thats so then thats that sorted already. As for ME3 there seems to be a specific set of things that need to happen or Garrus, and alot of other normandy crew and squad will die at the end, of course i want to avoid this in my first playthrough so want to be prepared for it when i play ME3!

Any information is appreciated! :D

texts: What's an effective use of the ornithopter?

texts:
Atreides and Ordos can both build the Ornithopter starting from mission 7 onwards. The unit requires that I build a HI-Tech factory and upgrade it, after which the flyer can be bought for the same price as a Heavy Factory Siege tank. But does this pricey but fragile attack flyer have any practical use whatsoever? Whenever the enemy attacks with these units, they will be fairly hard to shoot down unless I have built at least a couple of rocket turrets, and they are a proper threat against my tanks out in the open. My own ornithopters, even if I already have destroyed the enemy construction yard and taken out their turrets, will take forever to actually destroy anything seeing as the enemy simply repairs faster than the ornithopters can damage them. Add in the non-controllability into this mix and I usually give the ornithopter a pass in favour of standard tanks.

How do I efficiently use this unit? Is there at all an efficient use of them?

texts: Is it possible to rob a vault without the shopkeeper going hostile?

texts:
In Spelunky HD, so long as you didn't damage the shopkeeper or the vault walls, you could rob a vault without angering the shopkeepers.. One way of doing this was to teleport in and out of the shop. In Spelunky  2 I've tried teleporting in and out of a shop, while underground, and it still angered the shopkeepeer. So unless this is a  bug, it would appear that teleporting is no longer a way to safely rob a vault.
Is robbing vaults without triggering the shopkeeper impossible in Spelunky 2, or is there another method to rob a vault without angering the shopkeepers?


texts: Is there any reason to choose a training strategy other than Use Facilities?

texts:
In Pocket League Story, there are three options for training strategy (in the menu, select View Info, then Coach Info). I've listed the options below with the text the game displays when you choose one.

Team Practice (practice on the field; select this when you want to get experience points)
Player's Choice (up to the players whether they want to use the facilities or practice on the field; if you're not sure, this might not be a bad choice)
Use Facilities (use the facilities on the grounds, use this when you want to get a lot of research points)

The official guide on Kairosoft's website has this to say under Tips & Tricks, General Hints:

  Always have your training strategy set to Use Facilities, as you will have heavy reliance on research points throughout the game, so it is important to generate as many as possible.

Is there ever a point in the game where I'd want experience instead of research? Official guides aren't always "right" – it's not uncommon for players to find optimal strategies other than those intended by the developers – but in this case, I can't find an issue with their logic.

I've also researched Mining but there are no mines available to build.

texts: Are 3DS games and progress backed up to your Nintendo Network ID?

texts:
So, the other day I was playing on my 3DS and I set it down to grab some food from the fridge. In the not even three minutes I was in the fridge, my sister knocks the 3DS off the counter into the wall with such force it snaps the top half off the bottom (she was running really fast), and my SD slot isn't the best at holding the card in (I have to hold it manually when I play) so the card shoots out and then she unknowingly steps on and snaps it.

I normally am a very cautious person when it comes to saving and backing up but with my Fantasy Life game, it had no back up (I checked). I was like level 140 and had creator ranked all but three classes, and I would rather not lose all of that progress, or even the purchases I made for and in the game. So is it possible I could buy another 3DS and link it to my NNID and reclaim my progress or even just my purchases?

texts: Vim Adventures- Level 7 - Stuck on: What's in a name

texts:
This game is great, but I'm stuck on the What's in a name poem, and I don't want to give it away with my question, but I really need some help:

   What's in a na[m]e?
   That which we call
   a rose
   By any other name
-> would still smell as sweet.

The entrance to the puzzle is at the arrow going into the w in would.
The [m] in name is an un-passable block.
The a in name is the exit, moving upwards.

My key collection includes:

~   $%^   0
  wert
    dfghjkl;
 zx  b  ,

I think I can say the following without giving away any spoilers:

I can make it TO the a in name 5 different ways but I'm always missing that last turn to get off the platform.

I can get to the a with 0 turns left using my newest key: g or without it.
One way of me getting that far involves the $ key
I can't think of any ways that my other new keys: t f ; , can benefit me.


texts: What are the different combos in Monster Blade?

texts:
On one loading screen the game informed me of the "Phoenix Talon" attack and gave the necessary steps to perform it (block, block, upward slash).

Through random slashing, I know I have hit other special moves.  The problem is I am never paying that much attention so I can never remember what I did to do other special moves.

On the official website it says:

  Combos –Combo moves are Special Moves that can be unlocked by various button combinations. All combos increase damage dealt compared to normal attack and add extra points to your battle score. Each Combo has different advantage and might be more effective on certain situation.

What are the special moves, how can I perform them, and what might be the advantageous situations for each?


texts: Destiny PS4 disc edition + Taken King Legendary edition, how to play without disc, reinstall?

texts:
I have been playing Destiny almost since launch using the disc that came in the package.

Recently, when Taken King was released, I splurged for the legendary edition to get a bit more bonus items along the way. So far so good.

The legendary edition of Taken King contains the full Destiny game so with that I should be able to play without the game disc, but if I try that, it just asks for the disc.

Is there a way, short of reinstalling over the wire, to get Destiny to fix licenses or something or did it perhaps not install everything from the disc, or am I mistaken in that I should be able to play without the disc?

The reason I want to know if there is a way to avoid reinstalling over the internet is that patching Destiny has been a very slow ordeal, often taking the whole evening + night to download the expansions despite my 100/20 internet line so I don't foresee the reinstall being any faster.

Actually, here is what I did, this may change the question.

Originally I purchased Destiny as a PS4 disc item at my local game store.
I purchased the expansion pass to get the two other expansions
Just before Taken King was released I purchased Taken King through the PS4 built-in store, digitally
After release I purchased the "Upgrade to Taken King legendary edition", also through the PS4 built-in store, digitally

That last item may change things. Perhaps it only gives me access to the in-game bonus items (which was why I bought it in the first place), it might not give me access to the full game, but still, if it does, how do I get rid of the disc requirement?

texts: In earlier plays through Civ5 I've been able to set a city's production to Research, so I know it's possible, but I've not determined what it is that enables that (in my current game, Research isn't an option from the production menu for any of the cities). What's required (a particular tech, I'm assuming) to make that available?


texts: How to stop people from settling in our area?

texts:
How can I prevent people from building at a specific area?
I'm not talking about the size of 1 or 5 cupboards, but the entire hacker-valley (see map below, north east).

The first Idea was to greate a wall along the riverborder to riverlands-north. But since latest patch, walls decay very quick and we would have to repair it the whole day (not fun).

Before you claim, this is unethical or whatever:
We are about 1/10 of servers population, also, the game allows this behavior and so do the server rules. The server is at a state where the gameplay isn't about survival of a person, but about survival of the own clan. There are massive wars, with borders, multiple defense lines, escape rooms all over our land and so on. So if noobs have no fun because of this, sorry, but they're on the wrong server.


texts: Can the same enemy in the same battle have more hp than other enemy of the same type?

texts: I'm replaying PSX FF7 for the 5th time and for the first time I noticed the same enemy type in the same battle took 2 times more damage than previous monster of the same type to kill. The damage was consistent across the battle, no miss. How is that possible? Is it glitched? Do some / every enemy type have a chance to spawn more durable version of itself?


texts: What does the "Eliminating The Impossible" item set really do (if it does anything at all)?

texts:
So a new update brought us the "Nine Pipe Problem" and the wiki tells me that if you equip the "Private Eye" and the "Nine Pipe Problem" you complete the "Eliminating The Impossible" item set which can reduce mystery solving by up to 88%"

What does this really do?


texts: Is it possible to play Street Fighter X Tekken with 2 players online on one PC?

texts:
The XBox360 version allows only one player to play online, so if you want to play online  with your buddy (same team), you basically need 2 XBox360s each with a copy of the game.

Will the PC version be the same? Do I need 2 PCs with one copy each to play 2 player tag team online?
