texts: What does the direction of the compass in A Dark Room mean?

texts: Whenever I purchase a compass to unlock The Dusty Path, it always points a certain direction. What does that direction mean? Is it significant? Does the compass always point toward a certain location or does it just point to a location with a large number of places to explore?


texts:
Preamble:

I love playing civ5 by getting the most out of my UAs/UUs. However, that being said I do like variety so I aim for different victory styles using similar mini-strategies if you will. By far my two favorite are Honor-Aztecs with the +Faith-On-Kill pantheon (tons of stuff on kill :D) and Egypt with the obvious wonder building perks. Strategies like this, where my Civilization's UA/UU syncs amazingly well with other aspects of the game (Social Policies, Wonder Bonuses, Promotions, etc.) make the game a lot of fun for me.

Problem:

I've won (or played until bored) numerous times as my Honor-Aztec strategy with Domination Victory. I was wondering if there was any strategies to allow me to adapt this strategy to get ahead for another victory condition such as Tourism/Culture (BNW) or Diplomatic Victories (Neither of which I've successfully completed before). I'm not looking to keep my strategy 100%; however, there is a reason I use the strategy (i.e. I enjoy it).

Question:

How can I alter my strategy to allow it to work for a Tourism/Culture or Diplomatic Victory (in BNW) such that I still find the game fun (see Preamble for constraints)?

For example, how can I use my Culture/Faith/Gold gains to get myself closer to a Tourism or Diplomatic Victory? I'm not looking for some overly complex strategy, but I am searching for an answer that's a bit more thought out than: "You can use the gold gains from the honor policy to buy off city-states and the culture to protect you from being defeated by a tourism victory."


texts: Powering up Haunter in Pokémon go with a legacy move

texts:
In Pokémon Go, I caught a Haunter early in 2016, and it has a legacy move: Shadow Ball.

It's still relatively low level, 15, with a CP of 751. IVs are below average.
I have about 650 candies, more than enough to power it up fully.

How far is it worth leveling this Pokémon up? Do I stop at <1500 CP, or do I power it right up?


texts: Why is the Grass Fields rated as an easier starting zone than the Rocky Desert?

texts:
I've run a couple games of Satisfactory so far, starting out on the two easiest starting zones, and I have to say I don't understand why Grass Fields is rated as the easiest, introductory-level zone.  In almost every way, it seems to be inferior to Rocky Desert:

Poor-quality ore deposits vs. pure-grade ore at the starting zone
More difficult access to caterium, oil, and (arguably) coal
Water nearby is both less plentiful and harder to find
Rocky Desert has thermal geysers on a plateau directly overlooking the starting zone, for when you finally unlock the ability to make use of them.  For Grass Fields, the nearest geysers are waaaaaay out in the Blue Crater, near the horribly inconvenient oil field.

The only real advantage I've seen to a Grass Fields start is its abundant biomass, but biomass really stops being relevant almost entirely as soon as you get coal, and it's not scarce enough in Rocky Desert that it was ever a problem for me, so it kind of feels like Rocky Desert is easily the better "introductory level" starting zone.  But are there any factors I'm overlooking?  Is there any good reason to justify the ratings as they are?

texts: Weird shield generators in Sir Hammerlock's big game hunt

texts:
I was hoping someone could shed some light on this for me. I only recently acquired the GOTY edition of Borderlands 2. In the Hammerlock DLC, sometimes I'll stumble upon a switch on the ground that when activated, creates an impenetrable barrier like the Angelic Guard loader does. You then have to smash the switch to make the barrier go away. I think I also saw progress toward a certain badass challenge or something, but I was too busy fighting the natives to really pay attention.

So what's the deal with them? Are they part of some unmarked quest?

UPDATE: in the below screenshot, you can see a red dot on the ground (to the left). That's the switch I'm referring to.

texts:
I always assumed that Skill Books, Trainers and other free skill boosts always gave you exactly 1 skill level. However reading about trainers on the wiki I see that:

The same is also true for the free skills boosts.
So now I'm wondering if the same is true for skill books as well?

texts: Did patch 1.3 change the Lone Wanderer perk?

texts:
The first time I loaded Fallout 4 after installing the latest patch the VDSG entry on the loading screen told me about the Lone Wanderer perk and said it applies when travelling without a companion or dog.

It's widely documented that in fact you do still get the perk when travelling with Dogmeat.

I've never seen this particular entry before, or never noticed it anyway. Did it always say that, even though actually it does work when traveling with Dogmeat, or did they "fix" the perk in the patch?

If it always said that, then it's just always been wrong, and the perk probably still applies when travelling with Dogmeat.

If it didn't always say that, and the text was updated for Patch 1.3, then that suggests to me that they also fixed the perk so that it no longer applies when travelling with Dogmeat (even though this isn't mentioned in the patch release notes).

texts: Can enemies from statues drop a hardmode dungeon key?

texts:
The (gamepedia) wiki claims that "every enemy" has a chance of dropping a dungeon key for the biome that it is in, and I see nothing to suggest otherwise in the other wiki or update logs, yet it seems strange that all farming tutorials for the keys are making use of spike traps and meteor heads rather than statues hooked up to a timer.

If it were the case that statues could spawn mobs that could drop keys then I'd imagine people would be making massive statue farms for insane rates rather than an unexpandable meteor head farm. Or is there perhaps some reason why this method would be slower or wouldn't work?

Was it confirmed by somebody that statue summoned mobs can't drop hardmode keys, or was it just assumed to be the case? Is it true?

Edit: (For bounty I'd rather the answer to show the code or an official dev statement, not from the wiki, it appears that the wiki has now changed its statement)

texts: How does regen vs magicka vs reduced cost affect my efficiency? What is my destruction spell damage?

texts:
The Questions

What are my character's derived stats? (regen time etc)
What will each magicka and destruction enchanting effect do to my overall character?
How is my damage output affected by choosing different spells?
How does cast speed effect my damage? (very important at -100% cost)
What is my effective spell cost after perks, equipment and skills?

Soon after I started playing Skyrim I wondered whether it was more efficient to get more magicka or more magicka regen.

How should I balance them? Ahhhhh

I then started delving more deeply into it, and started also considering issues like sustainable damage output (from regen) vs. high initial damage output (from a large magicka pool). I also was no way near being able to enchant -100% cost equipment, and so I still had a major trade-off to decide on.

Higher ranked Spells get more magicka inefficient. I then had to try and see how much additional DPS that extra cost was worth, and how it effects my sustainable effectiveness.

Choices, choices and choices.

I attempted to answer these questions. In the spirit of sharing useful information, I have uploaded my spreadsheet where you can see how your own character is doing - what her vitals are!

And dispelling myths over destruction: DPS with Thunderbolt is ~187/s, at range - not too bad, eh?


texts: Why is my Nether Portal appearing at different places?

After exploring the nether for a while, I returned to my portal and hopped back through, expecting to see my house. To my surprise, I appeared at a separate nether portal at (75, 50, 325). I have no idea where this second nether portal came from. I destroyed the portal, and walked back to the one I made in utter confusion. Just to double check, I hopped back through my portal. Once in the nether, I jump back through the portal. Lo, and behold! I appear at a new portal nearby the one that was at (75, 50, 325), still in sight of the place the first mysterious portal was! What the heck is happening here?

texts: Skyrim: remove/complete bugged misc quests

texts:
I have 2 quests filed under the Miscellaneous category of my journal in Skyrim (talking to Greta about going back to the Temple of Divines and Bring a dragon scale and a dragon bone to Esbern) that I cannot complete. I tried a lot of things to fix them but I could not succeed.
First I enabled the tracking to get a hint of where to continue the quests, I tried the CompleteAllObjectives command, ShowQuestStages command, SetStage, CompleteQuest... And then I tried ShowQuestTargets.
The sqt command shows the targets of all currently started quests, and also the ID of the next doors leading to these targets. By issuing consecutive sqt and Player.MoveTo <DoorID>, I tracked down all of the targets shown by sqt, and guess what: the doors I took led me to places where I could find all of the targets of my other quests. Just not these specific two misc quests. Also, when I open the journal, the Miscellaneous section displays 6 objectives, for which I can open the map and get a hint of the location, except these two quests again, for which the the key to open the map is greyed-out. Additionally, the sqs command for the "Speak to Greta" quest shows 5 stages, and the 3rd and the 4th of them are shown not completed (0-state) while the 5th is actually completed (1-state). For the "Esbern" quest, it shows 2 stages which are both completed...

Any ideas ? :c

I finished the main quest, and am now attempting to complete the Ancient Armory side quest. I had found only 2 of the power cells, so I'm re-visiting the places where the power cells are supposed to be located, however they are not there.  Specifically, I've gone back to the All-Mother Temple and Grave Hoard and found the exact spots but no power cell.

Are you supposed to be able to collect the power cells after completing the main quest?

EDIT:

My question is not about the power cell locations, I know where they are.  This is about why they aren't there.

Also, I'm on the PS4.

EDIT #2:

I closed the application and restarted the game from my last save.  This is after the main quest has been completed.  I went back to the All Mother Temple, and confirmed that the power cell is not in the secret room where it should be.  See attached photos:

Map showing All Mother Temple
Map showing the hidden room where the power cell should be

texts: How do I minimize hauling distances / times?

texts:
In towns there's a lot of hauling resources from one place to another, typically from where they're produced/farmed/mined to where they are made into other items or consumed.

I'm particularly interested in minimizing distances for things that turn up in dungeons, such as the various metals from the mines.

As I go deeper down the distances townies have to walk just to collect one piece of metal can add up. Obviously I've already constructed shafts that they can use to go straight down rather than walking about on different layers, however they can only be where the metal is.

How can I get around the fact that the metal is far from where its needed?

Is it worth creating an entire resource chain (Anvil, etc.) nearby?

So I am particularly interested to know if "Classic" can be unlocked by completing "Casual", or if "Survival" is required? That is of course assuming it's completing the game that actually unlocks this mode, and not something different.

In FFXIII-2 they added user input to conversation. Does any of this have lasting input on the game? I noticed that some places it'll reject my choice and make me pick again, but most times it seems that I can say whatever I want.

Does any of this affect the gameplay or is it just to get different reactions in that conversation?


texts: Mass Effect 3 won't save new career but does save existing career

texts:
The situation is as follows:

Mass Effect 3 is downloaded through origin, located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3
The save folder is located at E:\BioWare\Mass Effect 3\Save
Mass Effect 2 has the same setup (but should not matter)

I have an existing career already at that save location. Loading and saving for that career works. However when I try to create a new career, both from scratch and with importing, no new save is created, nor is the character folder created in the save folder.

I have tried setting Location in the GamerSettings.ini both to nothing (original value) and to E:\BioWare\Mass Effect 3\Save.

My Save folder has the right permissions, Mass Effect should be able to create a new folder there.

texts: How do you efficiently manage chains of tasks in Dwarf Fortress?

texts:
I'm a beginner at Dwarf Fortress. I was just about keeping on top of things, until my first wave of migrants arrived. Now I have 15 dwarves to keep track of, and my previous strategy of micromanaging each dwarf is not scaling up. In particular, I'm having problems with "chains" of tasks, where something in the chain goes wrong, and the dependent job gets cancelled or suspended.

For example, I would like to be continually brewing ale, but occasionally I run out of barrels, either because the carpenter wandered off, was doing something else, or ran out of wood. When this happens, my dwarf gives up on brewing and moves on to other things. A similar thing happens regularly with potash production and food preparation.

How can I efficiently manage these chains of dependencies? Are there any strategies, or built-in mechanisms I've not learnt about that I can apply to relieve some of the micromanaging burden?

texts: Why is 3333360 the maximum score in Pac-Man?

texts:
According to the Wikipedia page for Pac-Man, the highest possible score is 3333360 points. It's called a perfect game and it was achieved by 3 different people already.

What I want to know is: WHY is it exactly 3333360 points? It must be a technical limitation, but this number makes no sense in my opinion.

I know the game has 255 levels. 255 is 11111111 in binary and level 256 (that seems to exist mystically) brings the 8-bit digit to an overflow, which ends in a crash of the game.

But, 3333360 just seems so random.

If I select "Can Appear as Soldier", does that mean that the character can be recruited either through the Avenger, or as a mission reward, or through the black market or Resistance HQ?

texts: Does clicking when being attacked help block chance?

texts:

Am I just experiencing a placebo effect, or does pressing the mouse actually help with block attempts?

Can someone tell me how bounties work?

texts:
tl;dr: Does player level affect matchmaking or is it based on stats?

Recently, matchmaking in Overwatch has been extremely weird.

A few times I've gotten games with huge player level gaps. Recently, I played a match where we had a level 6 and a level 97 on our team.

However, what makes me believe that level does matter is that when I hit level 31 I started getting matched with higher level players. Whereas before I was consistently getting matched with level 2-12 players.

What seems to be the case now is that matchmaking is based on player stats but that still does not explain the huge level differences. A 50% win rate on a level 6 player doesn't compare with a 50% win rate for a level 97 player, at least in my opinion.

Most of the time, I get players in the 30-50 level range, but it's not entirely consistent and it could still mean that players with that amount of play time would have similar statistics.

So does my level affect the players I would be matched with or is it based on something different, specifically player stats? Also, what could cause the huge differences in player levels if there is a connection between time played/levels earned and matchmaking?

Watch_Dogs online hacking and tailing modes.
War Thunder.
The Destiny Demo (I'm not sure about the full game).

My questions are:

Why do some games have online functionality without PS Plus?
Is there a list of games that fall into this category?

So what counts? Time spent away from the settlement?

texts: Sound increasing and decreasing randomly in XMoto for Ubuntu 11.04

texts:
I have installed the wonderful XMoto game in my Ubuntu 11.04 (2.6.38-8-generic) and when I start the game my sound control became crazy. The sounds decreases and increases randomly. If I close the game this strange behavior still continues.

Well, I think this isn't a problem with Ubuntu, Gnome, KDE at all because in my older installations (Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10) the same thing happen. But I don't know how to solve it.

My Audio device is (lspci | grep Audio):

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05)

My sounds is ok for other things, I can hear several things at the same time, etc.

So, anyone knows how to solve this problem?


texts: Testing for a minimum amount of items in a players inventory

texts:
I am attempting to make a shop in which you can trade a number of items for coins (ender stars).

I'm using the /testfor command to see if they're on the right team and /clear to remove the items, however, when someone presses the button with only one item their one item is removed and they get the coin even though the shop requires you to pay 5 items.

How do I make it so it tests to see if they have the minimum amount of items in their inventory before it clears the item and gives them the coin?


texts: Can you have a macro to cast Charge if in bear, a cast sequence if in cat?

texts:
This is for the stampede talent where you can ravage without being stealthed after a cat form feral charge. I wanted one button to do Feral Charge if in bear form, and the cast sequence of Feral Charge(Cat Form);Ravage if in cat form.

#showtooltip
/cast [nostance:1/3,nostealth] !Bear Form
/cast [stance:1]Feral Charge(Bear Form);[stance:3] Feral Charge(Cat Form)
/stopmacro[nocombat]
/startattack

This is what I have so far. I tried:

/cast [stance:1]Feral Charge(Bear Form)
/castsequence [stance:3]Feral Charge(Cat Form);[stance:3]Ravage

and

#showtooltip
/castsequence [stance:1]Feral Charge(Bear Form);[stance:3]Feral Charge(BearForm);[stance:3]Ravage

The stampede talent is causing all kinds of special case issues for my macro plans.

Specifically, I'm looking for post launch information; the pre launch question I've seen on here is one of the conflicting sources I mentioned.


texts:
In the first combat mission in the ArmA 2 main campaign (Mission 2, "Into the Storm") you can rescue Valentina Galkina from getting abused by some OpFor soldiers in a house in Pusta (that is unless you totally miss what's going on in one of the houses). She re-appears in Mission 7, "Manhattan", but so far (at least for me) only as a corpse, with some local policemen on the crime scene explaining that she was caught by a bunch of Chedaki militias and executed on the spot.

Is there a way to rescue her a second time?


texts: How to defeat the final boss, Ugh-Zan IV?

texts:
Most bosses in the game can be defeated simply with enough gun, and if that don't work, use more gun.

The helicopter "boss" needs a little more finesse, but middle clicking during the fight fires up Netresca, which explains how to defeat the bastard.

The final boss also gets some help from Netresca, but this time around it just mentions the boss autoregenerates thanks to technomagic babble on the back. That's fine and dandy and the boss fight does indeed start with Ugh-Zan IV giving me the back as he keeps the sand whale (the one I've been so longing to destroy) at bay.

However, giving him all I've got during that window of opportunity doesn't seem to make a dent in his regenerative powers, and once he's done with the sand whales he just casts me out of existance with his blue orbs of doom.

How do you exploit the weakness of this boss and defeat him?


texts: Can I filter out Windows only games when using the Steam client on a Mac?

However, the latest update added one version of the soundtrack which actually consists of completely different music, which I find jarring (the Danganrompa soundtrack). Unfortunately, this version of the soundtrack can be picked when the chosen soundtrack is set to "random". Is there any way I can exclude just this soundtrack but have the game pick randomly from all the other soundtracks for each floor?


texts:
The official wiki contains the following bit of advice regarding meteors:

  Note that if you have built a single-block bridge in the sky in search of Floating Islands it is possible for a meteorite to land on that bridge and you will end up getting only a small amount of Meteorite. It is suggested to destroy any paths in the sky before smashing a Shadow Orb in order to get a normal amount of Meteorite.

As it happens, I went searching for floating islands using bridges made of wood platforms.  (No, I have no idea why I did that.  Bridges you can fall through seem less useful than the usual kind.)  I just smashed a shadow orb and am now wondering whether I need to rush to destroy my bridge before the meteor arrives.

So, can meteors land on wood platforms?  I see three possible outcomes:

The meteor ignores the platform (as does water) and lands on the terrain below.
The meteor impacts the platform, partially replacing it with Meteorite.
The meteor impacts the platform, but as it is not "solid", no Meteorite is created.

texts:
I've just started playing Final Fantasy 8 for the first time, and I've come to understand that monsters level up with you. So from what I can find, the game doesn't get easier with grinding, with only a few exceptions (monsters that have level caps, so I've read).

So then what is the point of character level/experience? I understand that GFs level up, but it seems to be a wash when it comes to characters.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to ask this, but I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere; just guides on how to best perform leveling .. which seems pointless.

At least in other FFs you could grind if you were having a difficult time with a particular enemy or boss, or you wanted to easily farm some desired item. That back-up strategy seems lost in FF8.

texts: Is the "Armoury" bonus XP for other classes level-dependent or a fixed 50%?

texts:
According the in-game docs, the "Armory bonus XP" for lower-level classes depends on the level difference between that class and your main class.

However, many places (including another answer on Arqade) claim that's incorrect and the bonus is always a fixed 50%.

A quick Google search gives a lot of conflicting information.  For instance, here:

  It is a flat 50% bonus to all but your single highest DoW/DoM class.
  The pop-up that explains the armoury bonus does say the level difference determines the bonus, it lied.

And here:

  The Armory XP bonus caps at 50%. It's possible to hit this cap with a relatively small difference in levels.

And here:

  It's 50% bonus if they're > 2 levels lower than your highest, if they're < 2 levels it's 20%.

None of them provide any sources.

Does anyone have any authoritative source on the matter?
Or better yet, has anyone Used Their Science!!!™ to figure it out?

jump attack
aerial spin attack (sprint+jump -> crouch -> melee)

I ask because I'm really enjoying the heavy AOE electric damage of Amphis' jump attack and would like to beef it up to more reliably 1-hit Shockwave MOAs.

Is there a guide that lists the picture of the bitizen along with the name of it?  The only "real" characters I know are Boba Fett, the guy with the green suit.

Right now I'm kinda stuck; I have a character with a brown hood and yellow glowing eyes, and I have no clue what his/her/it name is.


texts: Is there a (cheaty) way to cross oceans?

texts:
Crossing oceans in Dwarf Fortress in adventure mode is a tedious and unrewarding task. There is no fast travel, so player has to guide his adventurer across several world map tiles (which are HUGE) manually under the constant threat of advancing ice walls and aquatic predators, while experiencing the huge lag from terrain generation and all the mist calculations. This process cannot be automated with macros, due to aforementioned threats and non-monotonous terrain. While some players may prefer to face this "challenge" as it is, some - like me - are willing to use the help of external programs to avoid spending several hours at this very monotonous task.
Does an exploit, cheat, script or something alike for crossing an ocean exist?

I finished the game before the game changing updates, when the first update, which introduced the Gargantuars, was released I was able to play all the 3 gargantuar levels right away. After the latest update, which introduced the dr. Zomboss levels, I see the levels in all the worlds, but am able to play only the Egypt one. I finished it, yet I'm still unable to play the Pirate and Wild West dr. Zomboss levels.

How do I open those levels?


texts:
I'm trying to create a mob hit detection system. I have researched online beforehand to this question, however I haven't come to any conclusion on my success yet.

I'm simply after, when a mob is hit, it summons 1 orb of experience so the players can use their mending, as I have mob drops off so they do not drop xp upon death.

If you have any way to do this, I'd love to hear it, any help is gladly appreciated. I'm on Minecraft ForgeOptiFine 1.14.4, hopefully that helps! I've got a feeling it's about the HurtTime NBT, I just can't get my head around it.

How do you get Tristana (and the Riot Girl skin) for free?  I 'liked' League of Legends on their Facebook page, then visited their redeem page, but there's nothing there to do.  All it says is:

Become a fan of League of Legends on Facebook to receive the Riot Girl Tristana Skin. Click below to get yours now!
Notice: You must have visited the store in PVP.net at least once before redeeming the Riot Girl Tristana Skin.

No buttons, no fields to fill out.  I am logged in on the website (my username shows up on the top bar) and Facebook.
I'm not sure what "visited the PVP.net store" means, I've bought other champions in the LoL store with IP (though not with real money), so I don't know what to do.  Isn't that the "PVP.net store"?  Their instructions for problems redeeming don't help either (I don't even see "the 'LoL Community Tristana' Application." on the Facebook page it links.

Armor provides a certain amount of damage resistance against different types of damage. This value is obviously not just substracted from the damage, but I don't see any information in the game on how it actually works.

texts: Can't get the red creatures into the funnel

texts:
So I know that you are supposed to get the tiny red blobs by nuddging them with your mouse. Several guides suggest that when they are close enough to the funnel you push them from underneath. Problem is I can never get them to jump that high, they only jump away from the funnel.

I have tried everything suggested to combat the bugs. Lower screen size, lower cursor quality etc but nothing helps. The creatures just won't jumpo into the funnel.

Anyone got any ideas?

I know this is a sort of niche question, but I figure somebody here might know.

texts:
At the moment my Zerg macro kinda sucks.  I'm okay at the start of the game when I have a fairly fixed build order - I send in an initial rush and expand at the same time, however shortly after that everything goes to pot

I keep on getting supply blocked
I'm using my larva injects fairly frequently, but whenever I get distracted I forget and my unit production suffers as a result
I always end up with massive amounts of minerals and no gas
I'm never sure when to expand

At the moment I'm in Bronze and so a lot of the time my initial push ends up doing quite a lot of damage, but it then takes a painfully long time to mop up and finish the match.  Alternatively I contain them in their base (while taking 2-3 expansions myself), however never manage to build up a suitable force to attack with, or even in some cases to defend myself with.

And this is despite me spending most of my time concentrating mostly on my macro!  I've read plenty on how to macro as zerg (e.g. How do I Macro effectively as Zerg?) and I do know in theory what it is I should be doing, my problem is that in the heat of battle I struggle to keep track of everything and actully do it.

When playing matches I'm focusing on practicing my macro however I don't feel like I'm getting any better. What can I do to improve my macro?


texts: Minecraft is still crashing even after the 1.2_01 patch

texts:
Minecraft 1.2 came out earlier this week, and soon after was followed by another bugfix patch, putting us at 1.2_01. However, the game is still quite unstable for me:

I am unable to go more than 10
minutes without minecraft crashing to
a black screen. The program becomes
unresponsive, and needs to be closed
via the task manager. Because of this
chunks are not saved (irritating, to say the least) so I find myself having to constantly
hit "esc" to manually save the chunks for fear of losing progress in my world.
Sometimes, when starting up the program, nothing on the initial log-in screen can be clicked, and the program is unresponsive. Eventually, it may or may not replace the log-in screen with a "cannot connect to minecraft.net" dialog.

Am I the only one experiencing such difficulties? If others are having the same problems (I wasn't able to turn up anything recent with google alone), is there a way to fix this temporarily before another bugfix patch, 1.2_02, is sent out?


texts: Where does Phasmophobia store save files?

texts:
I just changed computers and well, oops, my Phasmophobia progress seems to have resetted to Level 1, 0$.
I do play on 2 different computers, and it seems to point that weirdly, in phasmophobia, the savefile is stored on the computer playing, and not the cloud. (Changing steam accounts also keeps progress, which also points me in that direction)
So if the savefile is on the computer, where is it? So I can pull it from my old computer, put it on the new, and keep my progress?
If not, how can I get back my progress from my old computer to the new?


texts: Which Machines fall under each category?

texts:
There are four trophies regarding killing one of every type of Machine in each category. However, there is nowhere in-game that tells you what category each Machine falls under. The most information I've been able to find was in a teaser that introduced a few of the Machines and categorized them.

The teaser categorized the Stormbird and Thunderjaw as Combat-class Machines, the Behemoth as a Transport-class Machine, and the Snapmaw as an Acquisition-class Machine.

I also assume that Watchers and Red-Eye Watchers are Recon-class Machines, for obvious reasons. However, this only covers 6 of the 24 types of Machines, excluding Tallnecks (you can't kill these) and "Corrupted Machines".

The reason I ask is that I managed to go the entire game without killing a single Broadhead, which kept me from getting the "All Acquisition machines killed" trophy, which surprised me, because I didn't realize Broadhead was considered an Acquisition-class Machine (I really don't understand what makes it that, either, but I digress...). That said, which Machines fall under the Acquisition, Combat, Recon, and Transport categories?

It is sweet, that Blizzard have finally updated Diablo 3, so that the Crusader can have a 2-handed weapon in 1 hand (Heavenly Strength passive). It is a shame that the Crusader can't dual wield a 2-handed weapon in both hands.

texts: What are the pros and cons of siding with either the Nords or the Rieklings in their related Thirsk Mead Hall quests?

texts:
In the quest, Retaking Thirsk, you need to help a group of Nords kill all the Rieklings in the Thirsk Mead Hall.

While in the quest, The Chief of Thirsk Hall, you need to help the Rieklings in the Thirsk Mead Hall kill all of the aforementioned Nords. This means that I will have to choose a side.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of siding with either the Nords or the Rieklings in these quests?

The UESP wiki states that (from the Retaking Thirsk article):

  This quest has no rewards except making a blacksmith and a Heavy Armor trainer available[verification needed— see talk page], while the other allows you to recruit Riekling followers.

It has been marked as 'verification needed', so I am asking here to verify if that is correct, and if there are other advantages and disadvantages not yet mentioned.


texts: How should I build a character that exclusively uses bound weapons?

texts:
I am planning to make a Conjuration character that will only use bound weapons and their related perks. (No other conjuration perks will be needed, such the ones related to  summoned atronachs and raising the dead.)

My main source of damage will be the bow, followed by the battleaxe. I don't plan on using one-handed weapons, only the battleaxe and the bow.

Since I will not be able to upgrade any weapon that I will be using, nor enchant it, I can ignore most of the Smithing and Enchanting Perks.

My Questions are :

Which other trees would be useful for my path?
Should I use Heavy, Light, or Robes (No armor, alteration way of life)
Is it viable to play the game on Master difficulty using only conjured weapons as my main source of damage?

Observations:

I Have no problems in using mods such as "Better Conjuration Bounded Weapons" (which increases the "Mystic Binding" perk to 3/3 instead of 1/1) or "Bound Weapons Damage Scales With Conjuration" (which is self-explanatory) and that sort of thing.


texts: Are any specific locations in Steelport specifically suited for the 50 "Emus Destroyed" challenge? Otherwise, where can I find these vehicles in abundance?


texts:
EDIT See my comment below, this question is solved. HOWEVER, please do read, as the reason I use this (cart-only entrance), doesn't seem to work. That is, I have the construction as defined in the image below (except for a ramp on z-1, x2, y0, with a floor above it), but using D to show trader routes, still shows the path as inaccessible. Any thoughts on this?

Can anyone explain to me how I can create the following picture (as shown on the DF Wiki):

z = -1  z = 0
▓▓▓▓▓  ▓+++▓
▓+++▓  ▓+++▓
▓▲▲▲▓  ▓▼▼▼▓
▓+++▓  ▓+++▓
▓▓▓▓▓  ▓+++▓

I am having troubles removing all but the middle ramps in the Z -1 layer, without getting any dwarfs trapped.

What I currently have:

z = -1  z = 0
▓▓▓▓▓  ▓+++▓
▓+▲+▓  ▓+▼+▓
▓▲▲▲▓  ▓▼▼▼▓
▓+++▓  ▓+++▓
▓▓▓▓▓  ▓+++▓

What I tried (0,0 = top left):

build floor at z0, x2, y1, remove floor, ramp still there
Channel z-1, x2, y1, build floor at z0, x2, y0+1, remove floor at z0, x2, y0, floor at z0, x2, y1 now collapses on ramp, but ramp still there.

I'd like to do it within the confines of the above axises, and I can't use z1 due to being close to other caves.

The ramp is natural (well, by Channeling), not by building a ramp manually.

texts: How can I choose which monitor a game starts on?

texts:
Currently I am using a three-monitor setup, based on a GeForce GTX 680 graphics card:

3D monitor for gaming and work.
Secondary monitor for work only.
TV for watching movies and sometimes playing games with friends.

The TV is fixed on my room's wall and I cannot really use it when I am sitting in front of the other monitors that I'm using for work, because of the flat perspective. When I want to watch a movie I simply drag the movie player to the monitor and double click the player - that's okay, but I can't do the same with games.

My question is, if it is possible to select the monitor, a game (or 3D application) uses?

I tried a few things now and also searched for an solution, but apparently most setups are based on 3 monitors residing next to each other, where this setup is no problem. I thought about some setting in Nvidia's Control Center, but didn't find anything suitable. At the moment, I need to change the primary display from the system settings and start the game but this is not really handy since I always need to switch the monitors back whenever I quit the game.

Do you know any way to choose the monitor a fullscreen application uses?

texts: Are the advent facility locations randomized or difficulty based?

texts:
I'm playing on the second hardest difficulty. I'm doing okay in actual missions, but I'm severely struggling with the Avatar project, which is really close to finishing.

The reason for this is that I started in west asia, but after the tutorial blacklist site, both other sites spawned all the way over in America, where I can't reach them until I first make contact.

However, to make contact with those, I first have to fill an entire chain of contacts over there, struggling with the contact limit and the amount of intel it costs to spread out over such a large area.

Did I just get extremely unlucky that both of the facilities spawned as far away as possible? Or is this difficulty based, meaning that on higher difficulties, your facilities spawn as far away as possible?

Do BF3 servers have heavy lag compensation or is it my connection/machine having a lag spikes?

this happens to Sleeping Dogs, not Definitive Edition. I like to play the old version because it's lightweight, I can save my disk space.

I completed the game with no problem, but suddenly now, the game shows this error each time I start the game after a few minutes.

  this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way

If I ignore the error, I can continue to play my game, if I press Ok, the game crashes.

I don't like the error message so I google the error, first I think the problem may cause by microsoft visual c++ redistributable version conflict, thus I just uninstall all microsoft visual c++ redistributable versions available on my PC and install the latest microsoft visual c++ redistributable, but the problem still persist. So I know this must be the bad code of the game.

I love mastering macro, almost as much as I love building robust defenses. But like the Maginot line they always get breached and I lose my starcraft games if the defender can fight off my early onslaughts of Marines and my late onslaughts of cruisers.

I found a good video which trained me to do a marine rush effectively but I need to learn how to manage multiple units at the same time in combat. (While not totally neglecting base activities).

I do hot key the groups and I hot key my production centers, but it never 'clicks' for me. I get reamed by the computer set at very hard every time.


texts: Character model glitch when I activate my horse

texts:
I know this glitch rarely happens, but I encountered this glitch for real. Here's what happened:

My Story About the Glitch

So one time I bought a horse at the Leyawiin Stables. I rode it around the country to find some caves and ruins. Then I was attacked by an animal. I killed it and then I went back to my horse, when I activated it, my character started to bend backwards and half of my body went inside my legs and back up instead of going on the horse. It was only a few minutes until my player got back on the horse.

For those who don't understand, this also happened to that Black Horse Courier too except she was already on the horse the glitch happened.

Another person encountered this too.

So how do I fix this glitch so I don't have to wait too long?

texts: Which weapons can't have legendary modifiers?

texts:
As of Terraria 1.1, weapons can have random prefixes that affect their stats. There seem to be legendary attributes that are unambiguously better than all the others:

Legendary for melee weapons
Unreal for ranged weapons
Mythical for magic weapons

However, apparently not every weapon can have them. In my experience, tools, despite doubling as melee weapons, can never become Legendary, no matter how much money you throw at the Goblin Tinkerer. I also spent about a fortune on reforging Gungnir without getting anything above Godly.

So, which weapons can't have these legendary attributes, and what are their best attributes?

texts: In Civ V, can I improve a resource that is surrounded on all 6 sides by mountains?

texts: There are some gems sitting in the middle of a mountain range, beset on all sides by what must be sheer cliffs.  Are they forever out of reach or is there some tactic to sneak workers in?


texts: I have a paladin character. How can I ride a horse?


texts: Did I avoid a 1000 bounty as a werewolf?

texts:
I was doing the Dawnguard quest "Hide and Seek" in Solitude, and I decided I could try killing the vampire as a werewolf. Now, I transformed in the middle of the town square - probably not the best thing to do especially seeing as one of my houses, Proudspire, is just around the corner - but I apparently got a 1000 bounty, according to the onscreen notifications, then I killed the vampire.
The guards and townsfolk chased me out of town as a werewolf and I swam away from the port towards Hjaalmarch. When I had reverted to my normal self I went back to Solitude and no-one has batted an eyelid at me since.
Did I get away with it? What about that supposed 1000 bounty?


texts: Incorrect Aspect Ratio for Games using nVidia Surround

texts:
I am trying to configure any game within Steam, either Call of Duty Black Ops, Modern Warfare 3,  or Fallout New Vegas, to correctly use my surround setup of three monitors. Problem is, the single-screen image gets stretched across the three monitors rather than getting more field of view on the two side screens. Is there something I'm missing either when configuring the video card or the game?

My hardware:

One EVGA GTX 660 Card.
Three Hanns 28" HZ281 monitors plugged in, two to the DVI ports, one to the HDMI.


texts: Can I reclaim Poker Night 2 unlocked skins in Borderlands 2?

texts: I just bought a copy of Poker Night 2 and Claptrap brought his bounty onto the deck. I don't have Borderlands 2 yet (not that much into FPS) but I heard it very positive. So if I get Borderlands 2 in the future, can I still get the unlocked skins from Poker Night 2? Thanks!


texts: I recently started a new character, where he aligns himself with Child of Atom. I've done the Far Harbour story, and I want to make some settlements for the cult. Just wondering if anyone has any places where Child of Atom clothing could be. (I already know about Kinsport Lighthouse and the crater house). I play on ps4, so no console commands.
