texts: Does the Hellkite Drake behave differently on XBox 360 compared to on PC?

texts:
I am playing Dark Souls on the XBox 360 (patch 1.06).

For me the Hellkite Drake attacks almost immediately when I step onto the bridge. I have never made it to the stairs without getting burned once.

I’ve been watching a play-through of the game on YouTube and the player seems to be able to walk around freely on the first half of the bridge. The drake doesn’t seem to attack at all until he reaches the stairs. Even when he wanders around on the second half of the bridge, the drake seems to attack a lot less often than I have come to expect.

The only difference I can see between me and him is that I’m playing on the XBox 360 and he’s playing on PC. Is there some difference in the behaviour of the drake between platforms?

Edit: This is the video I’m referring to:

I now realise that the difference is partially explained by the fact that the player is crossing the bridge for the first time, and that the Drake is less aggressive when the player has not yet rested at the bonfire.

The player does get burned on the initial fly in, but then he walks around quite freely without getting attacked again. I think the Drake kept attacking me multiple times on my first crossing. I have done this section of the game a couple of times with two different characters, but I might be misremembering.

Here is a later point in the same playthrough:

Here the Drake is more aggressive than before but still less aggressive than I was expecting. I find that I barely have time to run from the stairs to the safe point, but in the video the player is able to make it with time to spare.

About a minute later:

My jaw hit the floor when I saw this. There is way more time to cross the bridge and run past the Drake than I was expecting. The first time I passed the Drake I got caught in multiple attacks and I don’t think I would have survived without Flash Sweat.

At this point I am prepared to believe that I am perceiving an illusory difference, due to the change in my psychology when watching the game being played compared to playing it myself. I’m interested if people have further observations, though.

I also realise that my original description doesn’t really match what happens in the video, so I’m not sure where that discrepancy came from. It’s possible there are other relevant sections in the playthrough that I’ve missed out here.

Edit 2: I also just noticed that the player takes way more damage when he is hit by flames while sprinting, compared to when he is just walking. Looking back, I think maybe I always instinctively tried to sprint away when the Drake attacked, and that may have caused me to take more damage, creating the perception in my mind that the Drake is more dangerous than it actually is. Perhaps I need to learn to not do that? :-)


texts: Do settlers use fusion cores in Power Armours?

texts:
I read somewhere that settlers will enter a Power Armour if you leave them around with the fusion core in them.

It sounds like great roleplaying to collect all the power armours found throughout the commonwealth and let an entire settlement run around in power armours.

But do they need to be supplied with new Fusion cores?

This question is similar to Do companions drain fusion cores? but not a duplicate as that question does not answer the behaviour of settlers, only companions which could be different. If that question is updated to include companions then I am happy to close this question.

texts:
Currently for the operations I send my 3 main heroes out for the longest period when I go to sleep/work. This means they're away for a while but earn more XP and coins per operation. However, as they're away for a while I am unable to use them for fighting for a while.

How can I use operations to get the most out of my heroes and get the most coins? Is sending them on 4 3 hour operations better or worse then 1 12 hour one?

texts: How does mission progress work in multiplayer?

texts:
In the first Borderlands, I got quite frustrated with the confusing affects multiplayer had on my character in singleplayer. Many times, someone in my party got a message saying they were ineligible for a quest and that they would not get credit for it.  Eventually, we all decided to make characters that we would all play only with each other and never play in single player.  This was quite an unideal solution.

Has Borderlands 2 solved any of these problems? What happens if I connect to a game with someone ahead of me in the story? What happens if I connect to a game with someone behind me? And what if I host in each of those situations? Is mission progress saved? Does everyone get XP and rewards?


texts: Can I disable science sharing in my team?

texts:
I'm trying to play a cooperative game of Civilization V - that is, a multiplayer game with two humans (all the rest AIs) with both of us sharing the same team. However, I discovered that when we are on the same team we apparently completely share the science progression between us - giving us what seems to be a huge advantage over the AI.

Other aspects such as culture progression and international relations don't seem to be shared, only sight and war status - and I'm fine with those.

Is there any way to disable this science sharing?

  How do I move Steam games to a new computer without re-downloading them?

Recently, I bought Portal 2 from Steam. I downloaded and installed it on my PC, which is running Windows. Unfortunately, days later, my PC crashed, and it was rendered useless. Thankfully, my technician helped me transfer everything in my hard drives to a back up drive.
Yesterday, I got a new PC, which runs Windows too. Could I transfer the game files from the back up drive to my new PC without buying the game again? It's okay if my game progress is lost in the process, because I don't want to spend more money buying the game again.

I am trying to host a Bukkit Server over a LAN wifi network at a Library that I work at for 16 kids to play on. In the past when I was using an older Windows 7 computer I could host it fine and they could connect without issues.

I made sure to get the IPv4 address from ipconfig and not to copy/paste it in.  I've tried multiple times with no luck.  I also disabled the firewalls and antivirus just in case they were causing the issue.

Any ideas?

texts: Severe system lag spike when running Minecraft server with more than 1 user?

texts:
I am trying to figure out what the problem could be with my game server. Currently it only run a Minecraft server but may run more later.

The problem I am experencing is severe system lag spikes when there is more than 1 user connected to the at once. The lag spike do not just affect the minecraft instance they affect the WHOLE system, SSH becomes unresponsive and one time the machine went completely offline and I had to drop in with the management console to regain control.

The server is running the Feed the Beast Direwolf20 modpack server.

The Specs!

Virtual Machine running on VMware vSphere 5.1
1 vCPU with 2 Cores
Allocated 4GB of vRAM (out of 16GB available to the system)
20 GB VMDK (about 20% used)
1 Network Adapter (VMXNET3 I think)
Running Ubuntu 12.10 (all latest updates)
VMware Tools are current
Java Runtime 1.7.0 u13 (current as of this post)

When I run top on the server it displays some really strange stats for the Java process which when minecraft is running sits at the top of the list which makes sense.

For example the server says Java is using 120% of the CPU and close to all of the ram assigned to Java at the start of Minecraft. Almost as soon as one user disconnects from the server the CPU drops to around 9.8% usage for the Java process. It just seems very odd.

The command I using to run the server is java -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -jar FTBServer.jar

There is only 1 other VM running on this server right now and its just BIND server for local network traffic.

Is there anything I could be missing? Something is very wrong but I am sure if its Java, the Ubuntu VM or VMware vSphere.

If anyone could be give me a hand that would be awesome.

I had originally asked on SeverFault and was recommended to ask here instead.

texts: Do I only get one chance at passing Gracie's fashion check?

Gracie finally, well, graced my town today for the first time! I was nervous about passing her fashion check, but I decided to go ahead and try it anyway with only a mere two items (Basketball Shorts and a Hockey Mask for a Sporty theme). I managed, despite kind of looking like a sporty serial killer.

Gracie doublechecks whether you want to actually go ahead with a fashion check, which makes me wonder if I only get one chance when she's there in my town for the day. She does mention that she is there for the entire day, so I imagine I'd have time to order something from my catalog if I were worried about not passing the check.

I know that you don't get a second chance after successfully passing the check because I tried talking to her afterwards and she didn't give me one. But do I get another chance if I fail the first time?

texts: What's the difference between Stability and a Stun-break?

texts:
As an Elementalist, my primary source of both Stability and stun-breaks is [Armor of Earth]. As this is the only class that I play, I feel I have some misconceptions about what Stability is and what a stun-break is.

So far, I believe that Stability is capable of preventing Immobilization. However, stun-breaks cannot remove Immobilization. This leads me to believe that there may be more differences in the  the capabilities and usage of Stability and stun-breaks.

What kind of differences are there between Stability and stun-break? When is it best to use either and what kinds of things are they vulnerable to?

texts: Do the characters in the classic X-Men arcade game have different fighting capabilities?

texts:
I recently purchased the classic Konami X-Men Arcade Game for the iPhone and have been playing through it. I have noticed that some characters are easier to control and fight with than others. For example, it seems like Nightcrawler can handle front and back basic attacks more deftly than, for instance, Dazzler. Using the same playing technique, the fighting outcome differs from character to character. Are the six playable characters really different, or is it just my own subconscious bias towards Nightcrawler that makes me believe he is the best?

EDIT I am referencing basic attacks, not their super special mutant powers. As in, punching/throwing/jumping/kicking/jump kicking ability.

texts:
I am having trouble figuring out the motion for the baby rocking minigame in Tomodachi Life. I have tried swaying, both by holding my hands steady and rocking my hips as well as by moving the 3DS side-to-side. I have also tried rotating the 3DS up and down or back and forth slightly. I can't get the baby to stop crying! Does anyone know what I'm supposed to be doing?

Edit: It seems it's hard to describe how to do this so let me give a prompt. How should I initially be holding my 3DS (flat as if it were on a table, the top screen perfectly parallel to my face, or something in between), and in what direction should I be moving it, both in three-dimensional space as well as on its three-dimensional axis?

I managed to get it after a fluke so I still don't know the "correct" way to do it, so I'm still looking for answers.

I was fairly sure I'd find this already asked, but it appears to either be a new question or else the search is failing me.


texts: Is a Creeper's blast radius affected by the surrounding material?

texts:
In Minecraft, I would like to build my house out of Glass for aesthetics, but I'm worried it will be very vulnerable to Creepers. In order to minimize potential damage, I'm thinking of building my ground floor out of cobblestone. However, I'm not even sure if this will make a difference, seeing as I don't know whether or not a Creeper's explosion is smaller/larger depending on whether it's exploding against open air, dirt, stone, etc.

It seems that it explodes in a larger radius in a bunch of earth than in a bunch of stone, but I'm only going off of subjective (albeit painful) experience here. Can anyone enlighten me?


texts: Does one need to have progressed in the main story to be able to complete Arkham Knight AR challenges?

texts:
I am playing Arkham Knight, and I have only played a small amount of the main story. According to saved game selector screen, I have progressed 4%. I haven't picked up any upgrades or new gadgets or any abilities.

I decided I was interested in seeing if I could complete some of the AR challenges, and specifically I'm trying to pass the Crime Alley challenge. I'm pretty experienced with all the Arkham games leading up to this, so I feel I should be able to play adequately enough to compete in the challenges, so long as it is actually possible. However, in spite of many, many attempts, I can not get past the third stage.

There are some hints that maybe the game expects that you have more attributes in order to compete. For example, opponents become electrified, meaning you can't hit them without being shocked. I looked up on the web how to defeat them, and from what I gather, one needs to be able to take them down with a quick fire grappling hook. I don't seem to have that, though.

At the challenges designed for a fully equipped Batman after having completed the main story? Or is it that I am unaware of certain skills or features that I should be using against specific opponents?

texts: Are there any benefits to zoning with empty space?

texts:
I've seen a few videos and many screenshots with people using various designs for their zoning, and I'm curious as to their reasons behind them.

The first design is what I've seen the most, though the center of the area remains unused until larger buildings are constructed.

The middle design has better coverage for early construction, though the extra cost of roads can get expensive for a city just starting out.

The last design seemed very odd to me, as it would only use half of its available space until the density of the area increased.

Is there any benefit to leaving empty space in your plots?

texts: Are bosses guaranteed to drop two yellow items the first time I kill them on normal?

texts:
A comment here suggests that

  Whenever you kill a boss for the first time (on normal difficulty
  only), it is guaranteed to drop at least 2 rares: One general rare and
  one specifically suited for your class

Is this true?

I'm fairly sure I didn't get anything but blues the first two times I killed the Skeleton King (although my friends got yellows), however the Spider Queen, the Butcher, and Maghda all dropped me two yellows. I can't remember if one was class-specific in all cases, however it was true in at least some cases.

Edit: I've verified that the Skeleton King does not always drop two yellow items, and am trying to determine if A) this quote is correct, incorrect, or partially incorrect and B) if correct or partially correct, does this only apply to end-of-act bosses?

texts: Warcraft: Orcs & Humans - Campaign and Mission Order

texts:
I was wondering in which order I should play the missions of Warcraft: Orcs & Humans (the first title of the series). The game offers you to play both, the orc as well as the human campaign right from the beginning. However, the orc campaign appears first in the menu.

As far as I understand, the storylines of the orc and human campaigns run in parallel mission per mission, with the ability to win the war with either the orcs or the humans in the end (just like alternative endings). According to this, a GameFAQ Walkthrough by XellKhaar (II. Basics - 2.05: Before you play) suggests to play the campaign missions alternating, starting with human level 1 then orc level 1 and so on.

However, one questions remains: Is there any good reason to start the alternation with the humans? Or are the missions maybe so much in parallel that it doesn't make any difference story-wise and I could also start with the orcs?

Also, apparently Eidos believes they fixed this issue, but they definitely have not, as I just today encountered it (PC, Steam version, latest update).

So, what order do I have to light the fires to work around this bug?


texts: NMM Error "Error loading the following mods" Fallout 4

texts:
when I try to open the NMM it shows me an error window saying "Error loading the following mods:" then it lists the path to every mod ( http://prnt.sc/czljvv ). I have an option to choose just OK and then I get a new error message titled "missing mods" and it just goes insert mod name cannot be found, however, a different version has been detected. The installed missing version is XXX and the new version is XXX (exactly the same version). It asks me if i want to upgrade the mod and when i press yes it goes to the next mod, and when i press yes again it opens the next message(too long to write): can't post link cause I have low reputation I press yes and choose Fallout 4 and choose the path to my mods and press finish and it goes back to the beginning of this thread.

I posted this on reddit and someone answered with:
First thing to check is the your E: actually exists. If it's an external drive it's possible Windows changed the letter. If the drive does exist make sure the path is correct and exists. If that is true then you should run a disk check. Right click on the drive in Windows Explorer and choose properties, goto Tools, and run the Check under Error Checking.
If your E: doesn't exist (because the letter was changed or something) then you'll need to tell NMM where to find the files now.

And that is my answer:
I've checked a few times and yes it is E: and the path is good, windows didn't change a thing. I've ran the scan and it said everything is fine. I don't remember how but a few days ago when I posted this on a different forum I got a tracelog (?): can't post more than 2 links cause I have low reputation

I still need help.


texts: Why can't I install TF2 in a non-default game library location?

texts:
I've set up 2 non-default game library locations. One in C:\Games and the other D:\Games.

Steam is installed on C: so I have 2 libraries on C and one on D.

When I go to install most games it lets me choose, but not Team Fortress 2. The dropdown to choose library isn't there.
I'd understand if I didn't have space, but I have easily enough space on C and D. Besides, it should at least offer the C:\Games location as that's the same hard disk as the steam install library, which it uses if I continue without being able to select any.

There are a few other games I can't install to a non-default location such as Portal (orignal) all the HL2 games, L4D2. It looks like it's old source games that won't let me choose.

Complete the mission without using a health pack
Complete the mission without you personally dying
Complete the mission without anyone dying

texts: Minecraft Pocket Edition Multiplayer not working

texts:
I bought this Minecraft https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mojang.minecraftpe (v0.7.6)
And since then i've been struggling with getting multiplayer to work in any way. My first attempt was to create a server from here: http://www.pocketmine.net/ which not only suffers from bad program design, but also doesn't seem to do anything with my Minecraft on the phone.

I have disabled firewall completely, made sure that computer(server) and client(phone) is on the same network.

At this point i decided to ditch the host a server thing, and we tried doing a regular network play between 2 phones with no success. Nothing appears in the lobby!

Do they have a support section cause i can't seem to find it...

My phone: Sumsung Galaxy Note 3 (my very first smartphone. Not more than a week old)

Other phone: Sumsung Galaxy S3

My comp: Win7...

Another thing I'd mention is that my friend (the SGS3 owner) claims to have been able to play LAN games with other friends. I have not seen this, and there's probably more to it, but if its true then there's probably something wrong with my device. (A default restrictive policy or something...)


texts: How do I get past the bridge/dam in the chapter Surface Tension?

texts:
I really can't get past this. I'm starting this off with around 30hp. I'm quicksaved at the Dam. I'm out of revolver ammo, crossbow ammo and lazor ammo.

I had to throw it on easy mode (running normal usually) to get past some of this. I can pick off the guards from a distance using my pistol (since the machine gun is next to useless in all situations and the shotgun has limited range). Then I get to pick up some ammo and grab some health. I jump off the dam full hp, but then I have to deal with this water monster and the helicopter with no crossbow ammo and none of my guns shoot underwater. On top of that I have absolutely no idea where to go from there.

Anybody have suggestions on where to find crossbow ammo in this area or how else to deal with the water monster or the helicopter? Anything helpful?

I play Java Edition on a Linux PC, and I know how to set up a VNC server. I also have a client (noVNC) for the web and a school chromebook. I managed to configure the VNC to be lag free enough to run games. The application here is obvious.
START READING HERE
When I load up Minecraft in the VNC, I'm stuck at either looking at the ground or having almost no mouse control. I have been toggling "Raw Input" and "Touchscreen" options, but nothing is really getting the game playable. Is there a way to fix this, or is there a mod that allows for viewing through the arrow keys? I don't think just moving the mouse through the arrow keys will change anything. I have seen suggestions that recommended this, but in my situation, I don't think it will matter.


texts: Can you pick-pocket someone who has already caught you?

texts:
So I was simply taking some weight off an NPC when he caught me... helping lighten his load. The problem is, he still has some stuff that I am sure he would rather have me hold on to but he has "already caught me" and won't let me hold onto any more of his stuff.

Is there a time after someone has caught you pick-pocketing where the option to pick-pocket them becomes available or will you never be able to steal from that individual again?

texts: What is the weapon masterwork progression?

texts:
To Masterwork a weapon after the Forsaken update, you need to progress it's masterworked stat through 10 ranks, with different and presumably increasing prices for each level.

I know the first level costs, glimmer, the second glimmer and legendary shards, with the third costing a masterwork core.

What are all ten levels of masterwork progression? Are the materials needed for each level the same for each weapon? I would like to know how many masterwork cores it takes to complete all ten levels.


texts: Can a Pokemon that I tried to capture from field research run away?

texts:
I've completed one field research that has Sableye as a reward and when I throw my first Pokeball, it ran away.

If I'm not mistaken I got Sableye as a reward after I used 7 charged super effective moves at gym battle.

I thought a Pokemon that we tried to capture from field research as a reward can't run away.

So, is it true that Pokemon from field research also can run away?


texts: Barbarians spawning even though barbarians are turned off

texts:
I'm playing as America, and this is in around the classical/medieval era, and Aztec declared war against me for no reason at all. I had the worst army in the game but took over 4/5 of his cities before he surrendered.

Then there were notifications telling me that there are enemies spotted around one of my cities, and it turned out to be 2 barbarian longswords men, and then there were 2 more spearmen that spawned at the same place, then there were 2 horsemen spawned in the city to the north of Aztec's capital.

Is this a glitch? I have 23 unhappiness, and it fluctuates between that and 21 very often, and my income fluctuates between -2 to 8.

Never had this happen before. And it seems that Barbarians spawn in pairs, and they don't spawn more until the pair is killed

texts: What is the point of Bounty Hunters in SPAZ?

texts:
I wonder what bounty hunters bring to SPAZ other than a couple of new ship hulls. What are they actually useful for? Other than adding targets for me to blow up.

I played through SPAZ a couple of times before bounty hunters were added and the game was fun. But on a recent play through with bounty hunters in the game, I wondered why the developers bothered to add them to the game. They don't seem to add anything but an occasional attack when I warp into a system, at least in the first "half" of the game. Do they become useful later? Or are they just another volunteer source of goons and data?

I want to play empire earth on my netbook, with win7 pro 32bit, but it crashes.
When I start Empire Earth, the videos are played as usual and when the game starts, it crashes. I've tried different compatibility modes and Admin permissions, but nothing worked. Also I installed the latest patches and the Add On (Age of Konquest), but it didn't work. Any Ideas what I could do?

Update

After all that time and many tries, I assume that it is not possible to run ee-zde on my nb. I guess the problem is related to the intel graphics card. Anyway, I will accept the answer with the most votes to get this to an end.


texts: My dwarves are sleeping in each other's beds!

texts:
At least for the first few waves of migration, I try to make sure every dwarf has his or her own bedroom. So each one gets a small room with a bed in it assigned to him or her. But the dwarves don't seem to take any notice of this: they all just sleep in whichever room they feel like!

Now, if this doesn't bother the owner of the room (I don't know whether it does) then I might as well just leave all the rooms unassigned and let the dwarves sleep wherever (this would save me a lot of room-assigning whenever a big wave arrives) and I probably wouldn't need as many rooms, since not everybody wants to sleep at the same time.

Is there a way I can force the dwarves to sleep only in their designated room or in the overspill/new migrant dormitory?

texts: When is the best time to deploy ECM Jammer?

texts:
There are multiple defense mechanisms that are provided as unlocks for air vehicles in Battlefield 3.  My friend and I were debating when to actually deploy ECM vs Flares.  Personally, I have my own system with my gunner to evade missiles / getting locked but he was assuring me that my practice was wrong.

His version: Deploying ECM when missiles are fired and tracking to the target.

[I told him my version:]

My version: Deploying ECM after about 2 seconds of 'getting painted' or getting locked on.  While ECM is being deployed, I either try to asses where the threat is coming from or bug out.  If they are able to gain another lock on my helicopter, I coordinate with my gunner for when to deploy his flares.  Most of the time, the missile misses us and my ECM jammer is reloaded.  In theory, this would keep us up for a long time [ as long as we don't get killed by a SOFlam / Javelin combo or guided shell].

When is the best time to deploy ECM Jammer ?

Side Note: I have already seen this post, and they are not the same question.


texts: Official list of games with locked savegames

texts:
On PS3, some savegames are locked, meaning that you cannot backup them and move them to another console. They can only be transfered on a new PS3 system through the online PS+ program facility ($$) or by transferring data from the old system to the new one through provided system tool on the console.

(Problem with latter case is that you have to have both consoles up and running at that time, which is not the case if you buy a new one cause the first one crashed, or if you sell the old one to be able to buy the new one).

I then wanted to know if there is a somewhat official and up-to-date (maintained) list of games fitting this category so that I can know if I'm concerned or not and if my external HDD backup is enough or not in case my console crashes.

I've seen some lists here and there on the web but don't know how accurate they are.

texts: "You there, What do you know about this?" - What did I do now?

texts:
Last night, I just walked out of Belethor's store (weapons sheathed) and a guard stopped me to ask:

  You there, what do you know about this?

I had two options: "I don't know anything about it" or "I'm not telling you anything"

I selected the first option as I legitimately had no idea what I did and the guard said something along the lines of:

  Okay, but I have my eye on you.

Immediately after he said this, he stopped me again and asked the same question

  You there, what do you know about this?

and I replied with the other option:

  I'm not telling you anything.

Well, he promptly threw me in jail.  What did I do that would have caused this?  I ended up reloading to the autosave from me walking out of Belethor's store and I was not stopped by any guard.  I now had the chance to look around and there was only a vampire's body on the ground near the warmaiden's shop (a block or two away).  This body has been there for at least 5 in-game days.

Was this a glitch or what would have triggered this guard from stopping me?

I did not have any bounty in Whiterun and I did not have any companion with me.


texts: How to bring back mysteriously missing contract in Kerbal?

texts:
For reasons unknown contract "Explore Mun" disappeared for me. I can't see it in accepted, can't see it in finished, nowhere. Not even in Alt+F12 debug console. I got the contract to explore Minmus all right. So what can I do do get this contract back?

I guess it might be because I crashed my game soon after I accepted this contract, if that's of any relevance.

Sad fact is - I was sure I have this contract accepted, so I proceeded with setting unmanned ScanSat probe in Mun orbit. The fact this didn't trigger contract stage made me look again. If the craft in orbit hides contract from me, is there a way to remove it, and all traces of it, from the game persistence file? Because that would answer my main question in this situation.


texts:
I have a working MC server and multiple users who log on, however due to poor connection/excessive ping play can become unbearable

Does anyone know of a definitive or close approximation to the bandwidth required per player connected in a minecraft server?

Any information or links regarding this topic would be helpful :) thanks.

Edit

As has been mentioned, the amount will vary greatly.

Using the specific case of:

64 mobs hostile+passive
144 loaded chunks
4 players (not moving)

would someone with sufficient knowledge be able to break down net usage of this use case? e.g. usage per mob / usage per chunk...

and/or provide a total average usage of the above case

Please know that estimations WILL DO (per player)


texts: Problems building a working magma forge in current version of DF

texts: I am having problems building a working magma forge in my fortress (using the most current version of DF). I have built magma forges in prior versions and am aware that I need to place the "darker green" x in the magma forge template over the hole leading to magma in the Z level below the forge. When I build a forge in my current fortress it apparently builds ok, but when I try to set jobs for the completed forge it says it needs magma under the forge. I have excavated a large open area (approx. 50x40 tiles) one Z level lower in my fortress that is still filling with magma (currently filled to 2-3 depth) from a connected magma pipe. Do I need to wait until the magma fills to a higher level than 2-3, or are there other requirements I am missing to get the forge to work?


texts: Is there a difference between iOS Setting > Location Access "Always" and "While using the app" for Pokemon Go?

texts:
Is there a difference for iOS Pokemon Go players using the Location iOS setting "While Using the App" vs "Always"?

For a regular player with no auxiliary devices, is there a difference?
Is there a difference for the Go+ users? I'm unfamiliar with the device, would it be functional while the game is off?

In other words, is there any reason why anybody would want to set the setting to "Always"?

(My own personal guess is that "Always" would do nothing but possibly track you, and would offer no benefit for the game)

My question is the following: what is the maximum Directive Score that a player can attain by completing all the tiers of every directive?

I'm in the middle of challenge #3 Head Trauma. I just used a XVIII - The Moon card and got transported to a secret room. Now apparently I shouldn't be having any issues because according to gamepedia wiki The Moon card:

But my exit, on the right, is sealed shut:

and I have no bombs left.

I would like to complete the challenge but I'm pretty sure using the debug console will negate everything.

Is this going to be the bane of my run? What options do I have?

texts: Multiple accounts on one device, in conjunction with Pokemon Go Plus and Adventure Sync

texts:
So, I have started a secondary account recently, to optimize my chances with Lucky and high IV Pokemon from trading, Sinnoh stones from battles, etc.

At this stage, since the new account is still a low level, I have been focusing on it primarily, keeping it active on my primary device, and only using multiple devices (so I can use both accounts) during raid hours and events.

But, what I was looking into, was getting a Pokemon Go Plus, to again optimize this further. From what I've been told, using a Pokemon Go Plus is an alternative to the "Adventure Sync" option (which only tracks travel distance for candies and eggs), so these cannot be used in conjunction - it's only one or the other; which is fair.

So my question is - can I use the Pokemon Go Plus with one account, and the Adventure Sync with the other account, with only one device? Or do both accounts need to be logged in at the same time?


texts:
While playing solitaire in the Google Chrome browser, I do get only about 50% of the games finished. I never thought much of it, I just lost and took a new game. But I just finished a game except for two hidden cards. It could not be solved, but it appeared that some cards were missing!

It is a Klondike single deal game. The card in the deck is just the jack of diamonds, that's the only card I got left. There are two hidden cards, but I can see 10 cards missing:

2 club,
5 heart,
5 spade, 6 spade, 9 spade, 10 spade, queen spade,
3 diamond, 7 diamond, queen diamond

I've noticed mainly graphical glitches in the game when undoing previous moves, but I didn't use that feature here.

How come these are missing? It feels like I make a stupid thought mistake, but I can't spot it. Where are my missing cards?

I would prefer not just knowing the answer, but how I'm supposed to figure it out. Is there a help option I'm not reading? Is this supposed to be some deep hacking of the javascript (it appears to be sending data to a server to be validated, so I don't think source loading will help.)


texts: Pokemons does not appear while being abroad

texts:
I'm a Spanish user with iPhone who is travelling abroad. While being in Japan I noticed that the official app was available on the Apple App Store, so I downloaded the game, registered and started an account.

First set of 3 pokemons to choose appear correctly and choosed one of them. Since that, I connected many other times and walked around a little (usually within the wifi range I was connecting through) and never saw any other Pokemon. In addition, I have never seen any pokestop or gym in the map.

Does this makes sense? If I can see the game on the App Store means that I'm able to play, so what's wrong? Also I tried to connect through a vpn to Spain and still didn't work.

Any idea of what is going on?
Thanks in advance!

Edit to address the "possible duplicate question" pointed by @Frank:

The accepted answer in the other question states that you can play the game if the servers of the country you are visiting allows you.

In my case it seems like the servers allow me since I can login and play, but pokemons never appear, so I guess it's a different issue. Besides that, the accepted answer also points to use a VPN which I explained I tried without success.

texts: How To Edit The Minecraft servers.dat File

texts:
I was looking through my .minecraft folder on Windows 10, and I decided I wanted to edit the servers.dat file. The reasons behind this are very complex, so I wont explain anything other than the fact that I need to open that file. I tried using NBT editor and researched the internet, but there doesn't seem to be any way to open that file. NBT editor only gives me an error saying this:

Error while opening File "C:\Users\<my_user_name>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\servers.dat":
Not in GZIP format

I am assuming this means that the data structure is wrong, and there is no way to access it with NBT editor. Does anyone know what the best way to open this file would be?


texts: How can I speed up turn calculation in single player games?

The game's single player mode runs unbearably slowly for me. Each turn takes minutes to calculate, and the time always seem to be the same, even when there are no enemies on the field, such as during the last turn on the third battle in the campaign, where you're suppose to escort someone out of a level.

Does the game offload its calculations to an external server? Is there any preferences I can make to speed things up? I assume the game is CPU bound, but does it take advantage of multiple cores?

I see some answers with codes included, but I don't know if it's for the mod specifically, or the game itself. If so, how can I insert the code into the craft box?
Accepted Answer
A accepted answer would have details about the items that you would use, so  make an example potion  with items. Show the picture of the potion, such as invisibility. It will have the answer to if the code is meant for mods or not in the beginning, then add a line spacer, getting to the point.

texts: 360 controller battery doesn't hold charge after unplugging Play & Charge Kit

texts:
Several of my Xbox 360 Plug & Charge Kits aren't holding charges anymore—they will turn on and connect if linked with the wire/cord/cable, but will turn off once the cord is unplugged. This happened suddenly—it's not like the battery capacity slowly drained over time.

I had noticed in the past that certain batteries work with the gray cable (from the original kits) and not the black (later version), or vice versa. E.g., a black battery will connect and charge with a black cable, the indicator light turning red after a short delay, and then to green after a few minutes. That battery will appear to stay on when unplugged and the dashboard will show the battery as full, but it'll turn off abruptly after a half hour or so. If I use a gray cable to charge the same battery, the controller turns off immediately after unplugging. I'd like to be able to use cables between batteries interchangeably, if possible.

I'm not seeing much useful feedback on other forums, though this issue seems relatively common. What is happening here? Are the original gray and black kits incompatible? Is the battery close to complete depletion and uselessness? What are the indicators of total depletion? I saw some videos on YouTube about artificially draining the battery—would that help? Is there some catch-all solution to this issue?

Am I missing something? What are the benefits of devolving a character?

texts: Are the spawn eggs in the Minecraft creative inventory sorted by some rule?

texts:
This question was bothering me already some time, so I decided to ask:

In the Minecraft creative inventory, you can take any (except the Wither and Ender Dragon) mob spawn egg from the slot named miscellaneous. The eggs are ordered there in this order:

The order of the eggs makes no sense to me. It isn't ordered alphabetically, by date of addition to the game, nor by anything else I see. It also could be that hostile mobs are first, then are peaceful mobs, just there is the Bat egg in the middle of the hostile mobs' eggs, the Wither Skeleton in between peacefull mobs, and the hostile mobs at the end.

Are the eggs sorted in a specific order (by some rule)? If yes, what's the rule?


texts:
I've completed the trial, and in the process, finished the last trial Khelgar needed to overcome in order to become a monk.

I understand that doing so reverts him back to level 1, so you can re-spec him as a pure monk.  I've already got another fighter in the form of Shandra (who freaking rules as a damage sponge), so I'm not seeing any sort of downside in not letting the dwarf get his fist-bashing on.

To make matters worse, I was alone! The diplomacy screen war icon showed only "Jimena Dynasty" under "Attackers" and the Doge I embargoed plus all his allies under "Defenders". The warscore was heavily in their favor. What the hell?


texts: Why many expert players just disconnect on the last round in Hearthstone?

texts:
I'm a (not too) novice Hearthstone player, this month I'm on rank 12 in ranked mode and many, many, many times when my opponents feels that I'm gonna win the fight they just quit the game; that is, my opponents simply disconnects on the last round when they feel that they are gonna lose the match.

I really doubt that they just close the game entirely because rage or because life suddenly needs them, as there are just far too many times that I have seen players disconnecting on the last round  always in the same circumstances. This only appears to be expert players (people that are on high levels of ranked mode), it's not a normal behavior for all players because a normal player just would use the Concede button which I understand to be faster.

I'm sure they share the same reason to disconnect on the last round (i.e. quit entirely from Hearthstone) when they are gonna lose a match, so I'm wondering if there is an explanation, for example a kind of official trick or legal (as far as Hearthstone's term of use) exploit/cheat or something else to avoid the Hearthstone algorithm to record their loss when they re-log the client and avoid downgrading in the rank?

I'm aware that in theory when a user closes the game or disconnects during a match the Hearthstone's system automatically awards the win to your opponent; however, I have witnessed this behavior too many times in simiular circumstances for it to be a coincidence.

My question is: Is there some advantageous reason in Hearthstone I've overlooked that these experts are quitting on the last round when they are going to lose

texts:
I'm a new player in Eve Online who generally is flying Covert Ops ships in nullsec for relic/data sites.  Since I need to return to hisec regularly to sell my goods, I find myself constantly passing through camped stargates.

My question is about the safety of the 'Jump' option.  Most of the forums posts I've seen regarding safe jumping typically reference "Warp to zero, then spam jump", which seems obsolete now with the "Jump" option (mentioned posts from 2012-ish).

Incidentally, many forum posts also advise for cloaky ships to "Warp to X" (where X is greater than 0) to avoid the 2km de-cloak and to slowboat--undetected--till 2500m where I can initiate Jump without being decloaked by the gate itself.

I'm looking for a more modern answer to the question: can a cloaky ship safely use "Jump" to leave a system?

I feel like I am constantly left waiting adjacent to the departing gate--decloaked and vulnerable--but I've never been locked (or even attempted).  Is this lucky or a by-product from already having initiating the new session?

texts:
I've run into a problem recently, it's not overly harmful - only if I'm AFKing. Occasionally, it will just pause, as if I'd hit Esc. It's happened a couple of time during an AFK session, but sometimes it'll do it when I'm actually playing, like mining or building something.

It doesn't happen regularly, like every 20 minutes or so; sometimes it won't happen for hours at a time, then twice in the space of 30 minutes. As far as I can tell, this is Minecraft doing this - my PC is not switching processes, or opening other apps or anything like that.

Edit: after applying the suggestion to use the F3+P command, the game no longer pauses.

But, I haven't seen the window lose focus, and the game will still occasionally, randomly "stop". Like, if I was moving, while holding down the movement keys, my character will simply stop moving. I can move the mouse to look around still, and click (use an item, etc), but I need to let go and press the movement key again in order to start moving again. This also affects my AFK fish farm for example - at random points, when I am holding down the right mouse button to "use" my rod, that input would be dropped.

texts: Okay I know that's kind of self explanatory but I'll give some explanation. I'm playing minecraft and on our current world we've input a rule not to hit mobs. So weapons including bows are off limits for mobs. A bucket of lava is our main tool for killing since technically we aren't attacking it. Simply placing and picking up the lava. Witches don't take damage from lava. So I've done experimenting with dispensers and arrows with redstone and levers and it works but it is not very effective. I'm looking for an effective trap or method of killing witches without actually touching it. No weapons or fishing rods.


texts: What's the difference between lag and jitter?

texts:
I've noticed nowadays that games (and people) only use the term 'lag'.
Except, while playing BZFlag, I've noticed there's two notifications for latency (the proper term 'lag'); "Your jitter is too high (### ms), warning #/#" and "Your latency is too high (### ms), warning #/#".

I've noticed that sometimes, only the "lag" notification comes out along with the "jitter" notification nowadays. But I've remembered back then (around 2008), that only the "jitter" notification comes up.

I've googled up the two and their wikipedia pages and Jitter talks about difference between the interval that the packet's time measure starts, alongside frequencies while the other is about the time difference in receiving, processing and then return-sending a single packet.
There again, I could be reading the incorrect definition for that application of the term.

Is there a difference between "Jitter" and "Latency" (if so, what?), or are they the same thing?

texts: Should I attack a taunt, even if it won't kill it?

texts:
In Hearthstone often I have the choice of attacking with a minion against a taunt, but it will cause a loss. The alternative, just leaving the minion on the board and doing nothing, risks losing it to AOE or a spell.

Above is a typical situation. I can attack the 2-6 Stegosaur with my Phoros. Then I might be able to kill it next turn by using the 3-6 Water Elemental and a Fire Blast. If I leave it on the board, I risk it getting killed by a multishot, but if he has no spell then it might be better to leave it.

texts: How to cure Zombie Pigmen anger infection?

texts:
I noticed that if a Zombie Pigman screams after being hit, others join him and attack the player that hurt their "friend". After both playing and doing a research on the wiki, I realised that this anger will "infect" other Zombie Pigmen far, far away, even at 500 blocks away, because the anger passes from one to another. This is annoying, especially when you think that you escaped, then everyone suddenly attacks you. (Of course, this happens because they even spawn in hidden caves, passing the anger through the wall.)
How do I prevent future anger infection effectively, without having to wait too much?

texts: Unable to talk to Bruno very early in campaign

texts:
I'm running into what appears to be a bug: I can't talk to Bruno just a few minutes into a new campaign in the mission "Dead ahead," under the title "Reporting for duty." I can ring Bruno's bell, but there's no action to allow me to actually speak with him.

How can I advance from here?

I'm playing through Stadia Pro. Restarting from checkpoint or even restarting the game with a new campaign doesn't resolve the problem.

texts: How do I get to the third field goal with enough hp left?

texts:
I am playing Rage for the first time and I am playing on Nightmare. At the moment, I try to get the third field goal at the watch tower with the ATV. However, in the "arena" where the highway begins, I encounter two cars that just blow my ATV up with homing missiles within a matter of seconds.

Is it possible and if yes, how do I get to the watch tower with the defenseless ATV?
