texts: HDMI connection with 360 not working, but confirmed to work on other TVs?

texts:
OK, so here's a tricky question for someone with any knowledge in this department.

I have been playing with my Xbox on a computer monitor for a long time because I have no Wired Internet in my room (don't own a wireless router). Now I want to put it back in my room and plug it into my TV.

So this is where it gets strange. I have had problems with some HDMI cables lately so at first when I plugged it in it didn't do anything, didn't even react. So naturally I thought it was the HDMI. I plugged it into another TV in our house and it didn't work there either. So I went out and bought another HDMI cable. Now, I try again on the TV in my room, and to my despair, there is nothing.

A few things to note about my Xbox and TV here:

While watching Digital TV with an AV or HDMI device plugged in and running, the TV gets all glitchy and basically looks like the signal is dropping out. This is not the problem but something to note.
My Xbox is pretty early in the 360 lifespan, and is from the era of the red rings of death. My Xbox does not fully 'turn on' unless it detects an output screen. It goes into a sort of stasis while it looks for a monitor or TV to connect to, and if it can't find one it turns off after about 20 seconds.

So, I get annoyed at the fact that a brand new HDMI cable isn't working and I take it to the other TV I have and attempt to plug it into that. When I turn it on, the swirly Xbox logo comes up and makes the sounds. So I assume I plugged it in wrong in the way or something on my TV. So then I go back in and try again and nothing happens. However if I turn it back to actual TV mode, I get that glitchy sort of chopped up image that lets me know that an external device is connected and sending information to the TV.

So then I connected my Android Tablet to the TV using a HDMI connector I got for it. Plug it in the exact same port as the Xbox and to my surprise it spring into life and puts out an image of the tablet.

So I'm super confused. The Xbox and HDMI cable are fine, as I tested them on another TV and a monitor to be sure. The HDMI port on my TV is also fine because everything BUT the Xbox seems to be able to connect to it, including my Desktop.

I also know that the TV and Xbox are compatible because I was playing Xbox on the TV about 3 months ago, and it was fine. I also know that somewhere, somehow, they are 'connected' because when I press X the tray opens, and I can interact with the Xbox (also meaning it's connected somehow because it actually goes to 'full turned on' mode, as opposed to not finding the TV and turning off).

Any help is super appreciated.


texts: Do nether strongholds only spawn within a certain radius?

texts:
In Minecraft beta, normal strongholds only spawned within a certain distance of 0,0, so they would never appear in a world which was explored beyond that radius.

In Minecraft 1.0, do nether strongholds have a limit like this, or will they appear at any distance? Can you keep exploring and find unlimited nether strongholds?

texts: How to launch Dead Space 2 into the main-menu (skip intro etc)

texts:
Launching Dead Space 2 from the Origin launcher takes way too long. First, I get to see the EA and Viceral Games and Dead Space 2 Logo. Then I get asked to login with my EA-Account, which to click "Back" then "Okay" then I finally get to the main menu.

I've bought the game with the latest Humble Origin Bundle 2.

I've tried to add +com_skipIntroVideo 1 on the command-line argument. But it does nothing.

I've added a short-cut of my exe-file on my desktop and I'd like to get to the main-menu with the fewest clicks and keyboard taps as possible. Is there a movie-file I can delete? A command-line option I couldn't find with google? How can I speed up the start-up process?


texts:
I just found an old copy of Diablo (the first game) in a box and whacked it into my laptop I purchased just yesterday.

After the quick install I hit play and found that the screen remained black (nothing was rendering). There was however sound.

I downloaded the patch but still nothing.

With it being a new laptop, I figure I might be missing some required software like Direct X maybe? I'm not really sure.

If anyone has any suggestions or knows how to fix this issue, that would be really helpful.

texts: Why does Yuri not mind control the president during the Soviet invasion?

texts:
During the Soviet invasion at the start of Red Alert 2, The president of the USA phones the Premier of Russia and asks what he is doing with the invasion. After some banter between the two, Yuri is shown to pick up a phone, contact a nuclear silo and tell them to not open the doors so the missiles blow up in the silo.

Why not just phone the president direct, order him to stand his men down and Russia take over the country easily?

I know this might come down to the fact if this happened there would be no game, but it just seems like a bit of a bad strategy. Is there any reason why that anyone knows of?

texts: Does the rain affect any troops, buildings, or spells?

texts:
If you notice carefully, when overtime starts (and the battle is in Jungle Arena aka Arena 9), there are three quick flashes (signalling thunder/lightning) and a little later, it starts raining. The rain isn't easy to see but can be seen if viewed at the top right corner of the screen. This is the first time there has been a special effect for overtime in any arena.

So my question is, is the rain just there for show and realism of what happens in a jungle or does it affect any stats (i.e speed of troops, health, DPS)?

texts: Micro-Stutters In All Games After Several Minutes Of Play

texts:
So this problem started randomly about a week back, originally I thought it was only with Fallout 4 as that's all I was playing and it hadn't been occurring prior. But once I opened Counter Strike: Global Offensive I noticed that after several minutes of play the game started randomly having micro-stutters at a seemingly fixed rate.

I immediately took it as a possible HDD error and ended up cloning my HDD to a new, faster, HDD. This showed not to fix anything, but I did escape a HDD with several bad sectors from becoming a problem.

Then I thought it might be ram related so I ran MemTest86+ which passed with no problems. After this I checked the new HDD with a diagnostic to see if it might have been bad, it wasn't. I then used Display Driver Uninstaller in safe mode to uninstall all the drivers and made a fresh install of each driver. This didn't change anything.

Across this whole journey I ran "Spybot - Search & Destroy" multiple time to make sure I wasn't somehow being used to mine bitcoins on my GPU. I personally made a few checks on that too, just in-case something snuck in there.

I then worried it might be the CPU or Mobo, so I ran the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool to rub that guy down, nothing came up. So then I ran ASUS PC Diagnostics Tool and also checked the CPU with that and in all instances it passed.

I'm kind of at a loss now and am unsure of what I can do next. Currently, I have MSI Afterburner running and used it to log my system as I opened Fallout 4 and then closed it. This time it didn't start up running okay, which happens normally after I've had the issue once and my computer hasn't been restarted. I'm unsure of what exactly I should be looking for. My temp's in-game for my cpu and gpu run at 50C and ~50C respectively.

This issue has just started, so I'm not sure if I should just wait for a new driver to be released or what. But it is very annoying and I would prefer to know what the cause it. Posting on a forum is my last effort, I have performed as many tests as I can from my own knowledge and am unsure of what now.

Here is a list of what I've done/run:

Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool
ASUS PC Diagnostics Tool
MemTest86+
Seatools ( check hard drives )
Fresh Install of Newest Graphics Drivers
Spybot - Search & Destory 2.1
Migrated Old HDD to New HDD
Played Game With Temperatures In View
Play Game Until The Error Appears With My Hard Drive Performance In View
Maybe A Few Other Small Things

Below is a screenshot of the top three panels from Afterburner, the image starts with the game running and you can tell when I turn it off:

I hope I have provided enough information to be helpful.

The problem appears to also be occurring in things such as YouTube videos too. I'm not sure where the problem is originating from so I can't contact support for any individual hardware piece either.

texts:
Background: I'm playing on Very Hard (old Survival), and wanted to try a permadeath, no-health run.

I have noticed a non-deterministic health bar regeneration in Fallout 4, but I cannot pinpoint where it comes from. I just eventually notice that health is back when it shouldn't be. Also, any accumulated rads seem to disappear, and HP appears to go to max.

I installed a mod to stop health regen when levelling up (as well as other assorted texture packs and radio stations which shouldn't affect health). But this regen is not tied to level ups it seems to happen whenever I don't closely watch the health bar. Obviously, I didn't add any mods or perks that regen health.

As far as I understand it the game does not have a default regen-over-time mechanic for health.

Where could I be getting this health and RAD regeneration from?

texts: When does it make sense to use a Sentinel?

texts:
While I find myself utilizing most of the roles in various combats, I've never really found a use for the Sentinel role.  The game heavily emphasizes winning battles fast, and Sentinels just seem to drag a battle out.  I've tried having a paradigm with a Sentinel and a Medic or two for when I need to heal during a battle, but I prefer just having a Commando and two medics since a lone Sentinel sometimes struggles to keep the chain gauge going, while a Command does not.

Am I missing something?  Are there party builds where it makes sense to use a Sentinel on a regular basis?  Or are there battles where it is more efficient to use a Sentinel than to try to deal lots of damage and use Medics to heal as needed?


texts: What is the best early strategy in Fallen Enchantress?

texts:
Fallen Enchantress is a 4X game with magic. You start with one guy who founds a city, and try to crush the world under your iron heel (for their own good, of course).

As far as I can tell, there's no drawback to building additional cities, aside from "I could have been doing something else." Making more cities means more construction points, more research, more gold, more resources, and less territory available to your opponents. The world is scattered with wild monsters and neutral factions, but they mostly ignore cities. Is there any reason not to go wild and build as many cities as possible as soon as possible, while mostly ignoring your infrastructure and military until you run out of places to settle?

I ask because the game's tutorials are extremely basic, and I can't tell if there's some mechanism that makes city-spam unproductive (such as how Civilization IV had a "tax" on expansion, and Civilization V used Global Happiness to limit growth). The game limits spacing of cities (legal places to put a city are somewhat few and far between), but doesn't seem to have any limits on how quickly you can found new cities.

texts: How to change the direction of a command block chain? 1.15.2+

texts:
I need to start a sequence of commands vertically then turn it horizontally (I'm going to end up at bedrock) for a specific server event I'm trying to work on. However none of the tests I've done have worked for turning a redstone signal, and many of them that seemed to work were actually from redstone activations that appeared to work but failed.

An example of what I'm trying to accomplish:

In the center of the image is my testing harness. Each cmd block just runs 1 'say' command. It says "foo" "bar" and the final one should be "caz" but the repeater doesn't work. I've swapped it out for a comparator but that just activates the block immediately and never works again.

Along the side/bottom left of the picture is the actual command block stack I'm trying to pivot. The redstone line will activate both command blocks when powered by a torch, but won't be activated by a successful command block command at the end of the chain.

How can I achieve this pivot?

Can I see where I am and what I need to reach the next level?
More important: which bonuses grants proficiency? Are the same for each weapon or are specific to weapon class?

texts: Why does the server say "connection lost, timed out" after joining a minigame?

texts:
Okay, I have already got this problem a few times, and it disappeared after a few days but I want to play Minecraft when my friends are online.

The problem is: I start Minecraft and I go to multiplayer to join some servers. But everytime I want to join it takes quite a while before the server loads. Okay, that's no problem. But if you're in the server you want to play minigames or go to survival or creative or something like that. If I then for example want to join my survival, it loads a while (again) and then says 'connection lost;timed out' and it keeps doing that.

I tried restarting my computer, and tried several times to join the server but it just doesn't work. How can I fix this?

I know, that in Starbound you can set a "Home Planet", so when you go with the spaceship, you can always return to your home planet easyly.

But my question is about when you are in the planet.

Supose, whe you warp from the spaceship to the planet, you "land" on the coordinate X = 0.

then, you move, for example, to X = (+/-)1000. And you build a House, with your bed, and different stuff. Ok, you warp, to the Ship, and you come back, but you spawn again in X = 0.

So, the now that the "scenario" is explained, the question:

Exist any form to set you house as "warp point" when you come from the spaceship?

texts: XBox One Controller Periodically Disconnects

texts:
My Xbox One has been working great for about a year. In the past week, the controller has started disconnecting every five or ten minutes. It takes about 20 seconds to reconnect. This happens with two different controllers in multiple games. The controller batteries are good.

Nothing has recently changed with my setup. I'm on a couch about eight feet directly in front of the Kinect. It has a clear line of sight.

Any theories on what could be going wrong?


texts: What is manual speed and how does it change?

texts: Why do random red skulls sometimes appear for Mercy?

texts:
Usually when you kill someone, a red skull briefly appears on the screen along with the name of the player you killed or assisted in killing. However, with Mercy, this red skull also sometimes appears even when nobody is killed.

What do these "nameless" red skulls mean? My only guess is that you get them if you damange boost a certain amount of damage, say 200 hp worth of damage, so it kinda counts like a "kill". I would even say that damage to barriers counts too, as I got those red skull when I damage boosted a Bastion firing at a barrier.

So what are they really?


texts: Did the Gamecube's version of Legend of Zelda:Four Swords include the GBA link cable?

texts:
I read on some strategy guides that the game boy controller cable for Gamecube was included on copies of the four sword game. But I can't find that information anywhere else. None of the copies still sold on Amazon and overseas and the old ads I could find mention it.

Did it really? Or was it only sold as an accessory?

Am I restricted to only seeing players within a certain rank, because for the most part I have yet to see anyone with a rank sub-2k.


texts: I cannot get ANY game to work on an old NES: potential Lock Out Chip Issue?

texts:
I recently got an old NES, the problem is I have yet to get a game to work. I know the games I have do work they've been tested in a friends NES.

I've taken it apart, cleaned the contacts on the motherboard (although its still kind of dirty some of its impossible to get off), taken out the 72 pin connector and looked at it. Its not the prettiest I've seen but its fairly clean and the pins are not bent down they are all pushed up and tight. I know the pins aren't the issue because i tried a friends in mine (his 72 pin connector is in beautiful condition) and still did not work.

We even tried the boiling thing with mine and although it actually got a lot of dirt and grim out still nothing.

Without a game in the light flashes red and the TV displays a grey screen that flashes with the light. With a game in it does the exact same thing. Literally NOTHING changes. Could this be a problem with my lockout chip? Do I need to disable it? And if so before I do are there any risks or downsides to disabling it?

Update - Disabled lockout chip. Chip stopped resetting the console but still couldn't get any games to play

texts: Forcing games to run in exclusive fullscreen mode (for nVidia Share/GameStream)

texts:
nVidia Share requires games to be run in exclusive fullscreen mode (it cannot be borderless windowed) to be able to work.

Is there a way for me to force games without the option to run in exclusive fullscreen mode?

The game in particular that I'm interested in doing this is Gang Beasts because it has local but no online multiplayer support (nVidia Share solves that problem). It would be great if there were a general solution though because I tried and noticed that quite a few other games I was interested in also did not have the option of exclusive fullscreen mode.

texts: Why can't I connect with other devices using google's play games multiplayer service?

texts:
I have several games to play with my friends and they have this multiplayer feature that can connect to other devices by using the Google Play Games.

But why can't I really use this? It stays on loading forever.. Did I do something wrong? I've searched around and they said that feature only works for the exact same 'play games' version. Well, for some devices they have this app built in on their devices so sometimes the version is a bit different (x.x.1234 and x.x.1233).

Knowing that, I figured out I might try to download the apks for the exact versions to match with one another, and surprisingly it works.

But after a few days it doesn't work back again! Tried reinstalling the apks manually like I did before, but no luck this time.

What is actually wrong here?

texts: How do Electrical Anomalies behave in Metro Exodus?

texts:
Electrical Anomalies are an unusual danger in the Metro series and with the open world of Metro Exodus they make a reappearance as one of Russia's many threats.

What I know so far is that they're a form of ball lighting* and deal immense damage to Artyom.

What I've learned but I am not completely sure about is:

Bullets and grenades do not seem to harm the anomalies
Aim assist will still lock onto the lightning
They are more prevalent at night
They are more prevalent in areas with large amounts of metal such as the train yard in the VOLGA level
They move slower than Artyom, but seem to constantly float towards him
They will not pursue away from areas with high concentrations or metal
They do not deal radiation damage

My specific questions are:

Are electrical anomalies an enemy or environmental hazard?

Is there any way to damage them or slow them down?

Are there any way to deal with them other than going around them?

Are they exhibit any other behaviors other than those listed above?

*Confirmed via in-game tape

It looks like they ran out of a certain chip at the factory and said 'screw it' and used a different type. You can even see the lines are for the authentic one and so they just made the wires longer.

Is this cartridge real or fake?

texts: Minecraft running slow but resource usage is low

texts:
I am trying to help a friend of mine get his Minecraft instance running decently.
He has a workstation laptop with an i7 (3rd gen, not sure which exact model), a Nvidia Quadro K3000M, 16 GB RAM and an SSD.
So hardware-wise it's not a gaming laptop but should be strong enough to work decently.
The game is really running on the Nvidia Quadro and not on the Intel HD, at least F3 shows the Nvidia GPU.
In both vanilla (1.16.5) and the Team Rustic modpack (v2.13, running on Minecraft 1.16.4), he often has low single-digit FPS when other players with worse setups get 15-30 FPS in the same regions of the world. This is with lowest graphics settings (including a render distance of 2 chunks). I then installed Optifine and turned everything down to nothing, which increased the FPS, but now he gets 4 FPS instead of 2.
FPS limiting is set to 60 FPS.
Since he has a huge monitor, he plays in windowed mode and uses only a rather small part of the screen. So not too many pixels either.
I tried it either without Java flags or with these ones:
-XX:+UseG1GC -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=2147483646
-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20
-XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=32M

And there isn't any appreciable difference either way.
I tried Java 8 (x64) and Java 11 (x64) and also that didn't change a thing.
The lagometer always reports "white" as the most time consuming task by a far margin.
What is really weird is that both the CPU and GPU are more or less idle at that time. They are <50°C and usually have an usage of <20%. RAM usage is usually around 12GB/16GB, since I turned his Java minimum and maximum memory usage to 6GB for Minecraft. The SSD should also not be a bottle neck.
Do you know what could cause this weird behaviour?
One more thing: This is a multiplayer session and the server software is not running on this laptop. So the laptop only handles the Minecraft client.

So just 30 minutes ago, I wanted had to leave one of my servers, and re-join it due to odd lag issues. However, upon re-logging into the server, the message "Failed to login: The authentication are currently down for maintenance" popped up. I tried and tried to join the server but the message just kept repeating. Everything was fine before I left the server.

I assume that the message meant that the Login problem came from Mojang's end. Therefore, in an attempt to test the authenticity of my assumption, I tried to join several other larger servers. However, the message just continued to appear and the problem persisted.

nest, I went to check on Mojang's services to find out what exactly was going on. Thus, I went to this website to check if Minecraft's services were truly down. I then came face to face with this: .

I then went to the Minecraft Forums to find out the source of the problem, however, all I got were a bunch of methods to solve the problem. I attempted all of them but to no avail.

Therefore, I am assuming that Minecraft services are truly down and I would now like to know several things:

Firstly, do you guys have the same problems in the servers you join?

Secondly, when you go to this website, do you receive the same screen as I do?

Lastly, are there any methods to fix this problem?

I would also like to confirm that I am running on the latest version of Minecraft. (1.7.9) and the server that I attempted to join is also updated to 1.7.9.

texts:
I dual box in missions. Recently, due to a fit of sobriety, I lost my Abby and so now I need to replace it.

My main missioner flies a Rattlesnake with good drone skills, a complement of two types of sentries, one set of heavy drones, and one set of light drones. She has become so versatile I wonder how best a second character can support her. With my Abby I would blow up frigs as they cross within my 30k range. I was thinking either a Paladin or a Legion, but I am afraid that a Legion would require too much micromanagement to stay alive in level 4s.

Assuming a budget of 1.5-2 billion what would be a good (preferably Amarr) complement to my Rattlesnake for missions? (Don't say run incursions, I do that already with a Legion.)

C = Computer Desk
D = Door

|---|---|
|B C|B C|
|B C|B C|
|B  |B  |
|-D-|-D-|

I'm worried that the right room's bed is only separated from a loud noise source by one wall and no squares.

Will that noise wake up the roommate?  How far (squares, walls, what?) should I put a computer from a bed to ensure there's no sleep interruptions?


texts: Does Crusader Kings 2 Without DLCs Have factions?

texts: I can't seem to find the factions tab where either I can join as a member or create one. I can't seem to find it beside nor in the Intrigue section. So I'm thinking if it exists in the original version without the DLC. OR is it because I created a new game and I did not have the tech I need for it?

texts: Can I find Doodles and Grimalkynes in High Rank Quests?

texts:
I've largely neglected searching for the various Doodles and Grimalkynes (aka the cats of the New World) to acquire additional Palico Gadgets. I got the Plunderblade, and never looked back. Now I'm interested in trying out the others. I tried one of the High Rank events, and could not find any Doodles (the "trail" you can research for them). However, I tried again in a Low Rank expedition, found the doodles, and got the gadget I was seeking.

My question is, can I find Doodles or the Grimalkynes of an area in a High Rank quest? If so, are there any other restrictions?

As an addendum, I know the Gajalaka cats' quest in the Elder's Recess would have to be High Rank, but that one is also restricted to being available only after acquiring all the other gadgets.

texts: Does weapon weight count in World of Tanks?

texts:
I'm driving a Luchs (Light Tank) as a scout in WoT and I'm having a problem about choosing between the main gun:

Gun 3cm M.K. 103
Gun 5cm Kw.K. 39 L/60

The latteris better in every aspect (apart from burst damage) but it weights 700kg while the former is just 141kg. Does this count in WoT? For example does using the latter makes my tank accelerate significantly faster?

I'm not looking for acceleration-based information it was just an example.

texts: How to tell which party members a skill affects

texts:
For skills which do not target an enemy, is there any way to tell which party members they affect, other than by selecting them in battle? There doesn't seem to be any way to tell except on healing spells, which specify "Heal" for a single target and "Heal Party" for the entire party.

If there isn't a method in-game, is there a list somewhere online?

Edit: the reason I want to know this is that an ability which affects the entire party is in effect up to 4 times more powerful than its base stats. Not knowing this in advance when choosing or upgrading skills means trying to compare potentially incomparable skills.

texts: Pre signals are green when all exits are red - OpenTTD

texts:
I have two parallel tunnels (one-way) that lead to a station with 3 platforms, since this line is very highly trafficked. When the trains emerge from the tunnel, I would like them to stop and wait (before crossing the track intersections) if there are no available platforms.

I figured this was a simple task using normal signals (for each platform) and pre-signals (for each tunnel exit). However, the pre-signals remain green when there aren't any platforms available!

Here's a capture of such a circumstance. You'll notice the pre-signals at the two right most tunnels (ignore the left two tunnels and their track, they're irrelevant) are green, despite all platform signals being red.

I think it might be because the two tunnels are connected by a 90-degree turn, which the game recognises as a possible route. Despite the trains being unable to go back through those tunnels (the pre-signals are one way), the pre-signals are recognising each other as potential exits and so remaining green, but that's just my (probably incorrect) diagnosis.

Am I misunderstanding how these signals work?
What is a working configuration for this setup?

Thanks!

texts: What year did Henry Stauf first dream of the doll?

texts:
In the game The 7th Guest, Henry Stauf is described as "a drifter, moving from town to town robbing a gas station here, a grocery store there, until one night..." and I was wondering if there was any clue (or even direct reference) to when he grew to prominence as a toy maker.

If we consider the earliest possible chance for him to have robbed a "gas station" as 1888 (first filling stations in America appeared in that year) and we assume the years mentioned in this Wikia article, that the party being held 15 years after Stauf closed his house (which was purchased by the time he was famous), that the game takes place 50 years after the party, that The 11th Hour takes place 45 years after the events of the 7th Guest, and that the 11th Hour takes place at the same time that it was released in 1995 (which is challenged by the use of a portable PC with video which seems to place it closer to 2010) then the house would have been built in 1885 (3 years before there were gas stations to rob).

Kingdoms of Amalur has three difficulty levels: Casual, Normal, and Hard. When starting a game and selecting a difficulty, the game gives me no information about how changing the difficulty will affect the game. I also couldn't find this information in the game manual.

texts: Watch Dogs plot hole: Keeping your identity secret

texts:
This is either a gaping plot hole staring me right in the face or I must have missed something.
Alright, so you take certain measures to make sure your identity as the vigilante is kept secret, for instance scrambling all ctOS camera feeds to blur your face rendering it unable to identify you, even going to extreme lengths in the instance of that one prison mission to make sure the witness from the stadium does not talk. All understandable, to make sure no one figures out who you are & ends up going after your family, all to keep them safe. Fine. BUT.
At one point while I'm driving around a message comes on the radio where the announcer says something along the lines of "Police are still looking for vigilante Aiden Pearce, but with the Chicago public supporting Pearce police are having a hard time figuring out his whereabouts". And it wasn't like a major news headline "We discovered who the vigilante is!" or anything of the sort, the announcer just casually states the vigilante's identity. So what boggles my mind is..if it's public knowledge.. why am I doing all this to keep my identity secret?! If who I am is already public knowledge, why hasn't the police gone for my family or something?
Not to mention when you're walking in the street & you'll come across the occasional bystander that'll be like "Hey! That's the guy from the news!" or "Hey, that's the vigilante!", & pull out their phone to take a picture of me with Aiden taking NO reaction whatsoever to delete the photo or block their camera or anything. He just casually strolls on. How the hell is that bystander able to identify me?! Don't I have my mask thing up everytime I'm on the news? And why doesn't Aiden do anything about it?!
Someone please, is this a massive plot hole or am I missing something??

texts: Streaming game to laptop while gaming on other screen

texts:
My laptop is very weak and I want to run a game on my gaming pc and stream it to my laptop. This can be made with steam remote play or just with parsec.
BUT
I want to play on the same pc at the same time. Running both games at once is no problem, but how can I stream one game to my laptop and control it with a controller while having focus on the other game and play with mouse and keyboard?
I tried to open one game at my second monitor and stream the second monitor via parsec to my laptop and control it via controller.
That doesn't work because the game can't see the controller and also all the sounds are transmitted to the laptop.
trying the same but with steam remote play results in seeing the game, that is running on the foreground on my laptop.
I also tried to set up a VM and running steam there but I cant even start the game because VM ware doesn't support dx11. (Unreal engine says "dx11 feature level 10.0 is required to run the engine")

How can I achieve this? I mean everything should be possible with a pc.

I'm curious if the GameCube is vulnerable to this problem, and if so, whether the Wii and Wii U also are (since I believe they use a lot of the same hardware). I would have asked "all Nintendo systems" but that's too broad a question.

texts: Minecraft Bedrock Server and Minecraft on Same PC - Minecraft doesn't see server

texts:
I was hoping to get information from the same question in another location but it never got answered and posting another question to it wasn't allowed.  So I'll just ask it again.

Windows 10
Minecraft Windows/Bedrock Edition - whatever it is called

I installed, setup, and ran the server on my main PC on my home network.
My son fired up Minecraft on his computer also on the home network.
He was able to easily connect to the server.
I then connected to it on my Android phone with no problems.
Since that worked I bought another copy of Minecraft to play on my PC, the same PC running the server.
Minecraft on my PC doesn't even see it...there are no options for LAN under the friends tab.
I read in the "bedrock_server_how_to.html" and in the other question here that I might need to run a command in the CMD as admin, but neither location mentions any special instructions other than that.
I ran that command, in CMD, as admin.  CMD responded with "OK"
I tried this with the server running and it didn't work.
I then closed the server and tried it again, fired the server back up, fired Minecraft back up, still no luck.

How exactly should I get Minecraft on my machine to see the server?  Everyone else on the network can see it.  Internet works fine.  My old TF2 server works fine and I can play it from this machine. Etc, etc, etc.

and:

team join pearl2 @e[type=minecraft:ender_pearl]

and they work fine. however, when I try to teleport the the entities together, I get nothing. I'm using this command in the final repeat command block:

execute at @e[team=pearl2] run tp @e[team=pearl] ~ ~ ~

Any help or advice on the new command system would be appreciated.

ResY = 768
Fix2D = 1 // Corrects menus and FMVs, but disables some visual effects.
FixFOV = 1
DisableCutsceneBorders = 1 // Removes cutscene letterboxing.
IncreaseBackgroundRes = 1 // Pause background will render at native resolution.
CutsceneFrameRateFix = 1 // Cutscenes will not be limited to 15fps.
DisableCheckSpec = 1 // Bypasses hardware check.

[MISC]
DisableRegistryDependency = 1 // Allows the game to run without the registry data.
DisableSafeMode = 1 // Prevents the game from using default settings after closing the game.
SkipIntro = 1
BrightnessFix = 1 // Adjusts default settings to match the PS2 version.

Same year as the target item
Minimum rarity rating of blue/"Rare"
Higher Attack/Defense rating than the target item

How much of an increase in Attack/Defense does Infusing grant?
Are any other stats increased as well?
Do any perks get transferred?
Does the amount of difference in Attack/Defense between the two items affect how much of an increase is granted?

texts: Friends unable to connect to Minecraft Server: Connection Refused

texts:
I am creating a  modded forge minecraft server v 1.12.2, but my friend on a different network than mine cannot join. Here is the error he gets: io.netty.channel.abstractchannel$annotatedconnectexception: connection refused

Here are some things I have done so far:

Set my PC's IP to a static one
Port forwarded my static IP with port 25565 (TCP/UDP)
Disabled all firewalls on my PC (the one running the server, also tried having my friend disable his)
Allowed the 25565 port through windows firewall by adding inbound/outbound rules (even though its disabled...)
My friend is using my public Ipv4 (did not try public ipv6, it gives a long weird string of chars, and i've never connected to a server like this)
tried connecting with just the ip, and ip:port methods.
Tried using a laptop I own to connect to the server (using my phone's hotspot data) to simulate a different computer joining from a different network. It also gave the same error.
I can connect to the server on the host PC fine, the server starts up
when checking canyouseeme.org with my public ipv4 and the port 25565, it says "I could not see your service on ___ on port 25565. Reason: Connection Timed Out"
I do not have any third part antivirus apps or anything of the sort installed (that i know of).
also did not specify a server ip in the properties file of the server

I am not sure what to do now, and I am not sure why canyouseeme.org says the port is not open. I had the server running when I checked this.

Are there any other diagnostic tests I can do? The only thing I am not sure of is my static IP. I have it set to stay on whatever my PC was on at the time (ie. it is set to be an ip that is in the possible ranges of dynamic IPs on my network). I'm not sure if this is a problem, but I saw it mentioned once somewhere.

When I made a [first] room and marked it as a stockpile, dwarves didn't do anything.

When I did the same with a room closer to the starting wagon, dwarves began to haul items to it. When I removed stockpile from the second room they still don't move things to the first one.

There is only one dwarf which moves maple wheelbarrow back and forth, others just drink booze.


texts: How can I tell who owns a Ready to Install game?

texts: In the new Xbox One interface, there is a panel of Ready to Install games but I'm not sure why some games are there. I have other accounts on this Xbox but I can't tell which account owns what or whether the license is linked to this Xbox or another. Is there any easy way to tell which account or Xbox owns what?


texts:
In my singleplayer survival world, I built a large underground base, and stupidly decided to put my nether portal in it at about y=10. I ended up being stuck in a nether cave underneath huge amounts of lava. I built another portal on the surface, but since it's within 128 blocks of my first one, it goes to the same place.

If I place water next to the lower portal to deactivate it, if I then use the surface portal, will it take me to the surface in the Nether? If not, what should I do?


texts: Are there custom graphics sets for Goblin Camp?

texts:
I love Dwarf Fortress, but part of what makes it playable for me is the customization of graphics sets.  I use the Mike Mayday custom package.

I'm interested in Goblin Camp, but again I don't want to deal with the hardcore ascii. Are there custom graphics for Goblin Camp?


texts: How do I get out of a minecart in Terraria?

texts: I figured out how to get in a minecart on a minecart track, but I can't figure out how to dismount from it. There doesn't seem to be anything in the controls for it.


texts: Is the 3DS version of "Link's Awakening" identical to the original?

texts:
I've heard numerous interviews with Miyamoto stating that he'd love to see Link to the Past on the 3DS with 3D. As well it's my understanding that a few games on the 3DS Virtual Console (Excitebike?) have 3D added into them.

Are there any differences between the 3DS version of "Link's Awakening" and the original or DX version? I'm particularly curious if there is 3D in the 3DS version of Link's Awakening.


texts: Workarounds for playing a game installed from a retail disk without an internet connection to download updates?

texts: I just bought Borderlands 2 on the retail disk strictly so I wouldn't need to download anything off the internet, because I don't have a good internet plan. Turns out, after buying it, when I put the disk in, it installs just fine and everything. Then, it opens Steam and says I need to install updates and stuff that I don't have the internet data plan for. The updates are required. Yes, I know it says internet connection required on the back, but I just kinda ignored it because Skyrim said the same thing when I first got it, and I just had to connect once. For Borderlands 2 it requires Internet for mandatory updates. If someone could please help or find a workaround that doesn't involve internet (unless on the phone) that would help a lot. The reason is I can only use 3 GB of internet a month, that's my data plan. The updates are a total of like 5 GB.
