texts: VIM Adventures Level 9 - Getting out of the PI puzzle?

texts:
So, I'm playing VIM adventures to get a grasp on basic VIM.  In this case, the game is asking me to reach that key in the bottom right.  The cursor is currently sitting on the darkened "8" block.  I cannot move the cursor onto the numbers sitting over the bottomless pit.  Once a block is passed over, it disappears, which is how I ended up in this situation.
The game introduces various VIM keys over time- as of now, this is what I have available to me:

Essentially, I need to either find a set of keystrokes which would land the cursor on that block with the key or restart the game.  Restarting wouldn't be too much of a hassle, just good review if anything, but I figured someone here might enjoy looking for a solution.

texts: Can the Windows controller properties dialogue display multiple hats?

texts:
I haven't seen much of a variation in the Windows joystick/gamepad properties window. Here is what it looks like with my PowerA controller plugged in:

Despite having two independent analog thumb sticks, there is only a single crosshair display. The other two "axes" are instead displayed as the "Z Axis" and "Z Rotation". The D-pad maps to the PoV hat.

I think that instead of additional crosshair displays, it just adds more little gradient bars. But what if there are multiple hats? Do they get mapped as buttons?


texts:
I learned it the hard way that this game has extensive physics and tunnels and buildings can actually collapse. Since I recently finally acquired the plans for the forge, I am looking to get some ores going and want to start some mining.

I read in various other places that it would be wise to secure the mine with supports. Now my question is, what are supports and how do I place them best to prevent any tunnel from collapsing?


texts: Potential Skyrim (PC) Skeleton Key, Lock Picking Bug

texts:
I recently started to play Skyrim again. I had played for about an hour or so and everything was fine. Then abruptly and without warning, the game application crashed\closed on me. I don't know exactly what caused it but I might suspect that it might have been Steam itself considering that when I was back on my desktop, Steam's Updater was up and waiting for user intervention.
I then went ahead and updated Steam. After it was done with the download and update install, I started Skyrim back up.
Now mind you, I've had over +99 lock picks on this file for over 2 or 3 years considering I still have and use the Skeleton Key. Every time I see any lock picks I grab them. However and just recently, I am seeing my lock picks decrease as they are now below 99. The last time I checked before saving the game and closing out the game application I had about 77 left.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this as well, and if so, was there any solution you found to fix this bug? I should not be losing lock picks when possessing and using the Skeleton Key. Since I'm using the (PC) version, I have full access to the console.

texts: Why does Raven burn the Avatar on Ultima IX?

texts:
There's a "sex scene" in Ultima IX, where Raven ties the Avatar in a chair and burns him with some kind of branding iron.

He says "I don't understand", and neither do I. Definitely the most bizarre scene ever.

I thought it would have something to do with the story later, but it doesn't, or I missed it.

texts:
I played the previous two Arkham games and I know there was a way to jump on temporarily downed enemies (the ones with stars floating around their heads) and finish them off so they wouldn't get back up. I just started Arkham Origins and can't figure out how to do this, though, and looking in the control options didn't show me any particular button that I need to press.

I'm pretty sure I always had that ability from the start in the previous games. Have I just not unlocked it yet, or am I just not finding the right button combo to press?


texts:
We have an Xbox One in our conference room that we use for Skype.

The TV is on the far wall, and the sound comes out of the TV.  We have a Blue Yeti microphone sitting in the middle of the conference table, about 6 feet from the TV.

I tested this setup by placing a call from my laptop, in a different room away from the conference room.

I could hear the conversation in the conference room great, but when I spoke, I could hear my own voice, slightly delayed.  This echo is very disruptive.

I suspect that what is happening is that my voice comes out of the TV in the conf room, and the Blue Yeti mic pics it up and sends it back over the connection.

Is there a way to configure the Xbox, my laptop, or the microphone to eliminate this echo?


texts: Is Giovanni's Shadow Pokemon reward dependent on the month or the quest?

texts:
I have yet to complete the Looming in the Shadows special research, and have just acquired the Super Rocket Radar to give you access to Giovanni. When this research was first introduced, the Shadow Pokemon you were given a chance to catch after the battle was Articuno.
New Special Research quest were given monthly afterwards before COVID-19 lockdowns. The Shadow Pokemon at the end of each of these battles changed to a different legendary (Zapdos, Moltres, Raikou, Entei in that order).
With the current Go Fest Battle Challenge, Giovanni's Shadow Pokemon reward is Suicune. I have already caught it from the Go Fest's Super Rocket Radar.
I have heard that Giovanni's legendary Shadow Pokemon changes based on the month, but I am not sure if this is specifically because of the month, or because of the research quest that rewards the Super Rocket Radar. So I'm asking which of it is these, and if I were to use my Super Rocket Radar from the Looming in the Shadows research, would Giovanni have Articuno or Suicune? Of these two, I would prefer to receive Articuno.

texts:
I've been playing Game Dev Story a bit lately, and have gotten to the point where I own all the boost items, have a fair bit of tech, and are consistently selling really well with my games - though I haven't yet gotten a GOTY award.

My theory is that if I want that award, I need to pump up the stats of the game during development (makes sense). It stands to reason that the Boost Items help with this.

However, I am a little confused as to who I should select to use the Boost items, when to use them, and how often I should. Can anyone help me here? :P

texts: What does upgrading a Spike-O-Pult monkey's pierce do?

texts:
When you upgrade a Dart Monkey into a Spike-O-Pult, the description is:

  Converts the Dart Monkey into a Spike-O-Pult, a powerful tower that hurls a large spiked ball instead of darts. Good range, but slower attack speed.Each ball can pop 18 bloons.

So the dart monkey goes from popping 1 balloon (2,0 upgrades) to 18 (3,0 udgrades).

However, what happens when you upgrade on the other path, where it says the Dart Monkey can now pop 2 or 3 balloons?  Does it add to the 18? Or is it useless as one upgrade pops 3 and the other pops 18?

texts: Once you build a University, can the high school and community college be safely closed?

texts:
Last night I needed to save some cash in my large, self-sustaining, city after building a brand new University. Looking through the options of what to turn off, I decided to turn off my high school and community college, just leaving my grade schools as the other education options. My cities tech level continued to advance, rapidly in fact, and all my industries started upgrading. My education level also rose significantly after the first day of university classes.

With that in mind, once you have a University, can you safely turn off or demolish your high school and community college to save funds? Is there a downside to doing this?

I'd upload a screenshot but it seems Google Maps doesn't play nice with my screen capture on my phone, it just comes out black.


texts: Minecraft Executing if more than 500 entities

texts:
I'm trying to create a command on my Minecraft realm that kills all items if there are more than 500 items. My only issue is, I can't figure out how to test for any specific number of items, much less more than. I'm wondering if there is any way to do this in a single execute command, without need for scoreboards, that just execute if there are 500 of a specific entity. I have tried this:

/execute if entity @e[type=item,limit=500] run kill @e[type=item]

I know why this wouldn't work, but it was the only thing I could think of. I couldn't find anything on the Minecraft wiki for it, nor could I find any questions about it. Is it possible to do this?

texts: Does Steam transfer offline save files from one device to another? (specifically Undertale)

texts:
My brother and I are soon going to be getting a Steam account so that we can get Undertale.  The idea we have in mind is that we each install the same Steam account onto our respective PCs, but I'm not sure whether Steam will transfer the save files.  I've heard that the game remembers previous runs, and I want it to be fresh for both of us (that, and it only allows one save at a time, so it would be really annoying for us to have to take turns with save files like that).  I'm guessing that, since Undertale is offline and has no achievements, Steam won't keep track of and/or transfer the files like that, but I just want to be sure.

Thanks in advance!

texts:
Minecraft's got an "Open to LAN" feature, which can be used to set up a local server when two computers running Minecraft are on the same network. Some young relatives of mine use this to play together whenever they're in the same house, but they'd like to be able to play together from their respective residences.

A server is not optimal because it's a bit complex. I've tried using Tunngle to spoof that the computers are on the same connection to no avail.

How can I convince Minecraft's "Open to LAN" that their two separate computers are on the same network?


texts: Unable to communicate with controller - Multiple ME Systems

texts:
I joined a private server of some friends (FTB-Unleashed 1.1.7). They first installed their ME-Systems with controller, terminals, crafting tables and so on...

Now I crafted all that stuff too and set up my system.
The problem I have is that my system randomly stops working. All ME machines report "Unable to communicate with controller". You can see then that the ME-cable is not connected to the controller anymore. The only solution is to put the controller back to my inventory with the wrench and then set up again.

We checked/tried a lot of stuff:

Different colored ME-cable in my setup
Not a power problem
Place my controller in their house and build a long network cable (chunk loading problem)

Their system works perfectly but mine fails constantly, sometimes it works for 15 minutes, sometimes 2 hours...

EDIT:

i figured it out, it was a power problem! :(

i was powering my controller with an energy tesseract. so the chain looked like this:

array of ultimate solar panels -> mfsu -> sending energy tesseract -> receiving energy tesseract -> powerconverters -> me controller.

the mfsu on the sending side was always fully charged, even at night, no ups and downs there.
placing a redstone energy cell between the receiving tesseract and the controller solved the problem.

texts:
I have noticed that when using certain weapons against enemies that the enemies seem to get stuck in a 'taking damage' animation while I'm firing at them. This is most noticeable with the chain gun against enemies like imps, where the imp will make a variety of 'taking damage' noises in addition to their animation.

This is to be expected, afterall I am shooting them in the face with a chain gun. However, I have noticed that on some of the bigger enemies that while ever I keep hitting them, they do not attack. They'll keep moving around and if I stop firing them will attack me immediately, but if I start shooting at them again they'll resume their 'taking damage' animation and sound loops and stop attacking again.

I have noticed that this doesn't happen with all guns, most notable the pistol (most enemies don't even do their 'taking damage' animation) and the BFG9000 (due to the massive firing ramp up time) but with weapons like the chain gun it seems to be possible to stop an enemy from attacking you for as long as you have ammunition.

Do some of the weapons in DOOM knockback or stun enemies?


texts: What kinds of things happen when I link Steam and Facebook?

texts:
I really hate Facebook apps. I've probably blocked a few hundred or so. Mostly the reasons are twofold:

I don't want to spam my friends with random crap that I'm doing
I find that most gaming is more interesting to me in a more rich environment (consoles, or a DirectX experience), and none of the games are really appealing when I've got other games to play.

So, what will happen if I merge Steam and Facebook?

Will it automagically post to facebook any time I get a steam achievement?
Will it post to facebook at other times?
Do I have control over that? Can I hold back posts to facebook?
What kind of information is available to my friends on each service?

texts: How does one manipulate the encounters and attacks in Final Fantasy?

texts:
I know the encounters are supposedly set, but do they change their order if you leave and enter a dungeon or overworld? How are they effected by say-the hall of giants in the earth cave? Is there a guide out there for this sort of thing?

I noticed that in fights, if I delayed my actions for running away(with all 4 characters) many times at least 2 of my characters would go first, whereas selecting run away as fast as possible would result in at least 2 enemies attacking. Sometimes, I delay the first and last warrior's action-and this usually works.

I know that something influences these things. I tested it myself in the marsh cave by running straight to the wizards floor-collecting treasure on the way. There is a room to the immediate east of the wizards. If I skip that treasure and go for them, I got 3-4 wizards in the fight for the crown. But, after a reset-I ran back to this area-skipped the boss-got that treasure, then only fought 2 wizards....and barely took damage in the fight....Then I repeated both steps, and got the same results.

I am playing on the NES mini-and the Kyozoku trick works(though the first battle after a reset is against sahagins-the 2nd is the kyozokus). This trick involves saving-then turn the power off and on, go into the ocean without an encounter, first encounter is always 1-5 Kyozokus.


texts: How can I know if a game is being played in my area (where I live)?

texts:
I keep hesitating in buying some games on Steam for not knowing if there are active servers or players on that game where I live. I live in Afghanistan, that's probably Central Asia. I can play CSGO with an Ok ping (135 -160) with an Ok internet (net is damn expensive here unfortunately).  I used to play "Dayz" while I was in Malaysia, but here I can't even find a single player or a server nearby with low ping in Dayz. So this is what got me worried about the other games, specifically:

texts: Can you have negative profit in the stalk market, or does it 'bottom out' at zero?

texts:
The stalk market badge in New Leaf has a badge for making a profit selling turnips. The bronze requires a total cumulative profit of 500,000 bells. I'm interested to know how this is calculated - if you keep making a loss every week, do you end up with a massive negative overall profit (which you'd have to claw back before you could even begin working back towards the badge), or does it bottom out at zero?

For example, let's say we spend 100,000 bells on turnips one week, and only sell them for 50,000. Is my total profit now -50,000 or zero?


texts: Road to Gehenna: What are the statue pieces for?

texts:
In the #1 hub in Road to Gehenna, I've found a number of statue pieces lying around.

I was wondering what these were for.  Is it possible to put the statue back together?

When I'm carrying pieces around, I don't seem to have the option to use the pieces on one another.

Edit: It seems you can put the statue together at the one-square pedestal near the warp point to the main hub.  However, completing the statue did nothing and the next time I reset a puzzle, the statue disappeared.


texts: Can I kill/catch legendary animals only once?

I killed the legendary bear and the legendary coyote so far. Now I wanted to start catching some legendary fish.

But I wonder, can I kill/catch all the legendary animals only once per type? Or do they respawn, have multiple random occurrences or exist several times in different locations?


texts: How many Headgear and Outfits are available?

Additionally, what are some good ways to earn these? All I really do is play a smash run every day because I find that the most fun, but I'm open to a method that gets them faster.

What is the game being played at the beginning of this video

It appears to be a science-fiction aircraft twin stick shooter, and the controller suggests he's playing it on an Xbox One. He doesn't discuss the game itself, and it doesn't come up in the video after the initial few seconds.

There's one person in the YouTube comments also asking what game it is, but he doesn't get an answer.


texts: Is it possible to complete Moonlit Grotto without using the teleporter in the midboss room?

texts:
I have played Oracle of Ages several times, and each time this has bothered me.

In all of the dungeons in Oracle of Seasons, and I believe all of them in Oracle of Ages with the exception of Moonlit Grotto, I was able to finish the dungeon without using the red teleporter that appears in the midboss room after beating the midboss.  However, it seemed to be necessary in order to complete Moonlit Grotto.  Is possible to complete this dungeon without teleporting to the midboss room to the entrance of the dungeon?

The problem I run into is that I need to get to the room east of the bumper on the second floor, as pictured here (star indicates where I want to go):

To do so, I need the bumper to be pointing clockwise when I reach the midboss room.  However, going to the midboss room from the west, the bumper sends me counterclockwise, so I can't get to the room with the boss key without using the teleporter to get to the room with the midboss and going south.

Is possible to complete this dungeon without teleporting to the midboss room to the entrance of the dungeon?

texts: What is better: Increased Attack Speed or Primary Stat % Bonus?

texts:
I play a Wizard. I'm trying to figure out how different attack modifiers factor into my TRUE overall DPS.

I have an item (gloves) that provides adds 183 INT to my primary stat of 1,433. About a 13% increase.

I have another item (gloves) that increases my INT stat by 20 (a 1.5% increase), and increases my attack speed bonus by 12%.

Basically the item with the attack speed bonus of 12% increases my overall DPS by 203.7 damage.

Not to sound stupid, but is this accurate? I guess ASB effects both my Primary attack (left click) and secondary attack (right click), but not my action bar attacks like
meteor, frost nova, etc...whereas the INT bonus effects ALL my damage?

As I was writing this question I started to figure it out.. just want a confirmation.


texts: Is there an optimal time to promote from the villager class?

texts:
In most Fire Emblem games, there's an "optimal" time to promote - that is, you hit level 20 with the base class, and then you promote the unit so that it keeps 20 levels worth of stat growth.

Does stat growth work the same way in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia? (and is the villager --> main class process a "promotion"?) Can I try to max out the villager class, and then promote the unit so that they have the max stat growth? Or do their stats reset when they choose a main class?

texts: Some games seem to be not available yet in Hong Kong Playstation Store?

texts:
Just bought one PS4 last weekend and it works great. I'm registered in HK PSN network. However I don't see some titles supposedly already out, such as Apotheon and Hand of Fate. Is it a normal behavior that they lag behind NA/EU releases quite considerably? They should all just be eventually available, right? I mean there is no reason for HK government to censor/block any games that are already out in other places and no reason for Sony not to sell them. (Some people say Sony HK is independent of Sony Asia in region classification?) Or is it actually just that they're not available online yet but are already available in disk?

Thanks in advance.


texts: How can you place a block on a block with right click action without using shift?

texts: So we all know if you want to place a block on an existing block that has a right click action (chest, dropper, etc), it will open up the UI for the existing block and the way to get around it is to hold shift.

texts: What's the fastest and most effective way to filter or squelch unwanted items in Destiny

texts:
After playing Destiny for a good few hours, I've now pushed my light level well into three figures. All my equipment slots are taken up with Rare/blue items.

I'm picking up new items and engrams on every mission. Early on, a friendly player on a fireteam told me just to equip the highest level items I had, never to buy upgrades, and junk everything else. The only exceptions were to be made for Legendary or Exotic items.

When you're rising through levels really quickly, this seemed like sound advice. And given I've still got a long way to go, I've stuck with it for my mid-level plays.

However, another friendly player told me yesterday that there were some upgrade perks that were worth taking and keeping, even on otherwise comparatively low-level gear. He gave me the example of Firefly, which causes targets to explode if they're killed by a precision shot, and said there were others.

Going through every item I pick up and looking at its upgrade tree is time consuming when I just want to be slaughtering aliens. So: what's the best way to quickly and accurately determine what's worth keeping and what should be dismantled for parts?

texts: What could cause every PSP save game to become corrupted?

texts:
I was setting up my PSP 2000 to my TV using a Component to HDMI Upscaler so that like all my other consoles, is connected to a single HDMI channel, how after that I had planned to start a new game in Shin Megami Tensei Persona 2 this time using a walk though so that I could do all the side quests (because a lot are apparently missable), to make it complete, I planned to delete the save games, install data and system config.

Just as I was about to I found the first file in the list saying it was corrupted, I tried to look though to see what game it could have been but my guess was that it was my Black Rock Shooter Save as that was the last game I was playing on it and the save before was Black Rock Shooter, however I suspect it was the save I made just before I first met Nana.

So anyway, after accepting that it probably was Black Rock Shooter I went to delete the system config file, right after that, all the save games but 3 became corrupted, the 3 was a Shin Megami Tensei Persona System Config File, a Fate/Extra Save and a Disgaea save, since the Disgaea file was my most recent one nearing the end of the game I thought I'd back up since I couldn't delete the corrupted data via the PSP and I wanted to back up the Disgaea file, however when I plugged my PSP into the computer and went to PSP/SAVEDATA there was nothing in there, my computer is showing hidden files and not hiding system files so I can see every file, also, in the properties of the removable drive the PSP became it showed it had more memory than what the PSP was saying.

I've looked up how to try and recover the corrupted data, some suggested using the file system however since I couldn't even find the Save Games that was a bust, the other method use this Magic Save thing but reading it it said "Install like any other App", considering that I never installed an app and most likely would do it from PSN I would assume that this program was for a hacked PSP, with little option I had to reformat.

I am wondering what could cause so much of my save data to become corrupted like that as it makes no sense, it doesn't seem to have done it again but I want to know what could cause this so that I can better prepare for the future since I've looked probably a total of 100+ hours of gameplay.

texts:
I‘m using a Dualshock controller with my Windows gaming computer. In this post I described how this is done and it also represents my current setup. However, while this works just fine with most of my games it doesn‘t with Steep! Sometimes the game won’t recognize or would just loose connection with the controller.

Sadly this happens quite randomly. But since it only happens in Steep I don’t think that I‘m causing the problem.

Has someone experienced similar issues? I’m happy with any kind of help and recommendations. Thanks a lot!

texts: What determines if an enemy is killed or downed in Gears of War 3?

texts:
I've noticed sometimes when I purposely shoot an enemy in the leg in bursts I kill them. Other times, I down them.

I thought the main reason to shoot an enemy in the leg is to slow them down and to down them so an execution can be performed. I've noticed this is not the case and appears to be random.

Does the game randomly decide whether or not to down an enemy no matter where you shoot? Apart from when the enemy is shot in the head.

texts: Does Mass Effect 3 use background balancing?

texts:
Some games allow balance adjustments to be made without issuing a title update or patch. Monday Night Combat is one example of this (Source). This is especially desirable on Xbox 360, because the certification process for title updates can take months and cost developers a large sum of money.

This thread on BSN lists the balance changes that are slated for Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. Will these balance changes take place behind the scenes (immediately), or will they only occur after a title update or patch is issued?

It seems to me like the easiest way to know for sure would be for an Xbox 360 player with a Quarian Infiltrator to test whether the Sabotage changes have taken place already. I would test this myself but I haven't unlocked that race yet.

texts: Why do the tournaments have "place holder picks"?

texts:
While watching the League of Legends tournament teams ban between 3-4 champions, you'll see picks like Eve, Xerath or someone very atypical of tournament play.

texts: How to balance stealth and making everything in the area hostile

texts:
Granted, I'm fairly early on in the game still, but so far, I'm having a hard time finding a good balance in combat. I've found that by far the easiest way to take down machines is to simply hide in some tall grass, use lure call, wait for the machine to eventually lumber over to my position and then silent strike.

However, there's two problems with this approach. First, it's boring. Second, it seems the AI is smart enough to catch on after a while, and after you've laid waste to enough of their brethren, machines will no longer come to you.

My alternate approach is to creep up on a machine and then try to put it down through a combination of elemental arrows and melee attacks. This is fairly effective as well, but every other machine in the area will either swarm on your position or run away. The result is that you either end up in an epic battle that you barely survive or you're one-and-done.

Again, it could just be that I haven't progressed far enough, yet, but it seems like I'm missing something. How can I be a bit more active in my attacks while still maintaining some degree of stealth?

texts: Teleporting entity through command block teleports entity to command block and stops moving, even with execute as

texts:
I am using a repeating command block to repeatedly teleport a falling block with a custom tag called "Debris" 0.125 blocks on the negative z axis causes the falling block to teleport to the command block instead and not moving at all:
tp @e[type=falling_block,distance=..200,tag=Debris]

I decided to fix this by forcing the falling block to run the command itself, instead
execute as @e[type=minecraft:falling_block,distance=..200,tag=Debris] run tp @s ~ ~ ~-.125

and I still got the same result of the block being frozen to the command block instead. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, I summoned a block with a custom tag called "Debris", then used a repeating command block to force the block to run the command itself, but it ends up acting like the repeating command block is running the teleport command instead of the block, which is supposed to be running the command because of the execute as.


texts: Getting the most out of AC3's Wolf Pack multiplayer

texts:
I've been really enjoying AC3's new Wolf Pack multiplayer, but it's proving very frustrating. When you get a good game it's brilliant, but more and more games are filled with players who completely miss the point of the game.

To win at Wolf Pack you need to hit a score threshold to get to the next segment and get more time, and your NPC targets spawn infinitely (although always on the far side of the map)

To win you need to get high scoring kills, and quickly, while completing challenges (like 'Get a FOCUS bonus' or 'Get an ACROBATIC kill'). Many challenges involve team work (like SYNC kills which require each assassin to lock a different target) and later segments get tougher - higher score thresholds and targets that hide and defend much better.

The problem is keen (I don't think they're greifing) but confused players that don't understand how the game works at all. Let's call them Neophyte.

For instance: I'll set up an INCOGNITO HIDDEN FOCUS POISON OBJECTIVE kill for around 1400pts, and then (before the poison takes effect) Neophyte steams in, alerts all the targets and gets a contested 100pts (robbing both my kill score and the 30 seconds or so I spent setting it up). Then a SYNC segment will come up, the other 3 players will set up their targets - Neophyte steams in, fails the objective for everyone, sets off a trip bomb and gets themselves stunned.

Neophyte will run from one end of the map to the other robbing and generally messing up everyone's kills and ruining any chance of a SYNC or FOCUS bonus for any other players. They'll constantly get caught by smoke bombs and get stunned every other kill, but that doesn't sink into Neophyte's head. They'll average about 150pts per kill.

Usually the game ends the round by about segment 10-12, with Neophyte having twice as many kills and half the score that anyone else has.

One of these players will ruin a match and finding a game without them is getting harder and harder.

Is there any way to kick/ban these players? (I'm sure everyone else will vote with me and they'll learn that they're doing something wrong)
Is there any way to avoid them?
If neither of them is possible is there any way to educate these users? (They can already clearly see when other players have a lock, when other players have FOCUS or POISON set)
Is there some in-game behaviour (they either don't have mics or don't listen to them) that would show them what they're doing wrong?

Is that currently possible?
If not, is there any official information regarding the question?

Just to make it clear, I'm looking for an option, that would be easier than physically going to each machine to log in and authorize.


texts: What factors decide which team wins when the clock runs out in Capture the Flag/Control Points?

texts:
I was in the map Doublecross and we just barely managed to tie the score at 2 as the clock ran out, but we still got the Humiliation mode, instead of both teams getting it.

Also I think Control Points decides its winner at a clock-out by which team has fewer points controlled. Which I think I can understand because it rewards the defenders for holding off the other team successfully. I don't know if this is really the case though.

texts:
As I'm playing a game, I like to finish all the side quests in one region before I move to the next for the main quest. Unfortunately, this is slightly problematic in KoA. I started the main quest and faction quests in Dalentarth, then the main quest wanted me to move on to Detyre while the next part of the faction quest lines wanted me to go to the Plains of Erathell. So it looks like this, very back and forth:

It's starting to get a bit confusing because I find myself region hopping a lot. So I have a few questions:

Is there a certain order in which I should complete quests?

Is there a convenient way to complete tasks between these quest lines (instead of just region hopping between faction and main quests)?

Do the faction and main quest lines ever coexist in the same region again?

I'm trying to decide how to spend my skill points and I see "Weight Capacity" mentioned. I have no idea whether or not this is something I need.

  Does it affect the amount of ammo I can carry?
  Does it affect which weapons I can use or how many I can carry?
  What's the base weight capacity for a character? Does it differ by class?
  I have no concept of what a bonus of 50 would actually mean? What's that roughly equivalent to? An average pistol? An average shotgun?
  Is there anything besides skills (such as gear or research upgrades) that can increase my weight capacity?

Basically I'm looking for some hard numbers on how weight capacity is used so that I can plan out how much I need to bother getting.


texts: How does the scoring work for Hex Defense?

texts:
I've completed all the levels on Hex Defense with my android phone.  Now I'm replaying the levels going for high scores.  However, I can't tell how the scores are calculated.

It's pretty obvious that forcing the next wave to spawn early or not losing lives gives a point boost.  But everything else is a mystery.

Playing in fast forward?
Left over money?
number of towers?

texts:
Vladimir is known to get very strong at lv9 due to his ability to have Transfusion (Q) maxed. Other than staying in lane and not losing out on experience that way, what is a good way to gain a level advantage on your opponent assuming you both never leave lane or die (i.e. evenly matched)?

Would XP-Quints work moderately? I've read around and seen that at most it'd get you a minion or two ahead, is this accurate?

My thoughts that could be elaborated on:

Jungler ganks: Not very reliable. I am looking for something I can consistently do to achieve a level-advantage.
Steal Exp from Jungle Leash: Kind of a jerk move considering most junglers don't appreciate it, additionally you might miss out on CS before you get to lane.
Get a kill: What about the times this isn't possible? i.e. Evenly matched skill and sustain.

Question: What are some ways to gain a level-advantage on an opponent other than the above?


texts:
I'm working on the following miscellaneous quest:

  Take Torygg's War Horn to the Shrine of Talos for Elisif the Fair

I have arrived at the destination, but I cannot figure out how to get the war horn out of my inventory and leave it at the shrine.

Activating the Shrine of Talos gives me Talos' Blessing, but doesn't leave the horn. I cannot seem interact with the great statue of Talos in any way. Since it is a quest item, I cannot drop the horn on the altar or on the ground in front of it, and for the same reason I cannot leave the horn in the satchel on the altar.

How do I leave Torygg's War Horn at the Shrine of Talos?

texts:
I have been to 781 rooms. Unexplored to me is a spiky area in the chapel blocked by a magic door which I can't open in either bat or mist form, and a one-way wooden panel in the caves with some nice powerups in it which leads from an unexplored room.

   I can get the bad ending whenever I want by battling Richter but I feel I need to get Maria to smack some sense into him. I have tried using the gold ring and clock in various rooms, including in the clock room, and I tried various things in the Doppelganger room since its door has a design I recognize from Harmony of Dissonance.

texts:

Another way to see this is: how can I prevent the server to save the changes made in my Tuto world once the players left it?

I currently live in New Zealand, and I want to buy a New 3DS here.

If I bought a new New Zealand (Australian) 3DS, all the games sold here have an insane mark-up compared to other countries, and I really don't want to pay the extra price.

So here's what I want to do: I want to buy games on the Nintendo eShop, be it Australian or New Zealand (if there is even one for NZ), but I can't check the price of the games on the eShop without accessing it using a 3DS. I can't use my old US 3DS, because the only countries I can change to on there are in the US region.

Is the price of the games on the Nintendo eShop the same as your retailer's? And if not, how do I check it?

And it's just really annoying.


texts: Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds/Age of Empires BSOD Windows 7 32-bit

texts:
I found Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds on an ancient drive so, full of hopes of retro gaming, I cranked it up on Windows 7 (laptop, Core 2 duo, 32bit, 3(4)gig ram, intel 945 integrated graphics).  It did cut-scenes (many happy memories, much expectation) and then BSOD'd (boo).

Tried compatibility settings but no dice - BSOD.  Tried XP mode but it gives a DirectDraw error although the prerequisites app says all well.

I looked into the recent Gog re-release but the EXE has the same date as mine making me think it's the same release repackaged and so it will exhibit thr same problem.

Age of Empires behaves exactly the same (SWGB is a skin of AOA AFAIK?).

Anyone any ideas? Other than get a life perhaps?

texts: Steam Purchases: Can you store pre-purchased items in your inventory?

texts:
On the Steam store, there are some games/software that can be pre-purchased/ordered, purchased as a timed license/one-time license (which most games/programs use; basically binds to one Steam account, only that account can use purchased license).

Can pre-ordered products bought as a gift item that goes into your Steam inventory for later binding or trade? It said:

  One or more of the products in the transaction have not been released and are not currently avaliable.
  These products will automatically be made available to you or your gift recipient via Steam upon their release. Release dates for products are subject to change.

Also, by 'later', I meant sometime before it is released.
According to the game's forum, the developer said:

  We intended to make it an Early Access, but unfortunately this status is not available for Software on Steam, only for Games. We discussed this with the Steam Developers Support and the only option to have an Early Access was to make a Pre-Order with Beta access.

texts: Can I force an enemy to reveal themself?

texts:
According to the wiki:

Stealth (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stealth)
Hitting a foe with an attack breaks stealth; if the attack missed, was blocked, or was evaded, they will not break stealth. Abilities that do not deal direct damage (like Caltrops, or the Traps which do not deal direct damage) will not break stealth, even though they apply damaging conditions. When a character breaks stealth, they gain the Revealed effect which prevents the user from re-entering stealth for several seconds, regardless of the skill used. The Revealed effect is not applied if the stealth ends normally.

Based on this, it sounds as though a player can only be taken out of stealth if they themselves deal damage, meaning that leaving stealth is always a deliberate action. It also sounds like conditions do not count (eg. a thief applies multiple stacks of bleed to me and goes into stealth while they are ticking) as "hitting a foe with an attack."
Is there any way to force a stealthed player out of stealth?

texts: Is it possible to suppress damage from a falling anvil?

texts:
Story
I have an automatic anvil replacement system using redstone. An observer detects when the existing anvil breaks, and then the ceiling opens up allowing one anvil to fall down.
Problem
The replacement anvils fall from the ceiling which is about 20 blocks high. From that height, the anvils almost always end up chipped after they fall.
I want to add some redstone near the bottom that will stop an anvil from taking damage after it falls 20 blocks.
I have tried a dispenser that shoots out water as the anvil gets close, but it seems that water doesn't break an anvil's fall.
I also had pistons that pop out of the wall one by one, but it takes way too much time for an anvil to reach the floor.
Core question
Find a way to stop an anvil from taking damage when it hits the floor using a redstone contraption.

Or before it is no longer available to breed anymore in the game at all? Such that even if you breed An Air and Flower dragon there is no chance of getting it because it is ''expired''.

texts: Can "We Need To Go Deeper" be played solo?

texts:
looking at the description for We Need To Go Deeper it says

  Crew a Submarine with friends in We Need To Go Deeper - a 2-4-player cooperative submarine roguelike set in a Verne-inspired undersea universe.

to me this would block me from playing since it's seem to imply i need atleast a second player to play the game.

however further down in the ABOUT THIS GAME section, while repeating the 2-4 player thing it says

  2-4-Player Co-op
  Designed with human interaction in mind, We Need to Go Deeper was created to encourage friends to shout at each other. The current version features 2-4 player cooperative multiplayer- either through a Local Area Network or Online, or with Bots to fill in for empty slots!

this suggests to be that i could play it by myself with bots (though i may not get the full experience) plus it also says

  The current version features 2-4 player cooperative multiplayer

rather than requires 2-4 players to play.

So i am wondering, can We Need To Go Deeper be played solo?

texts: How does the Complete 2009 Mod affect STALKER Shadows of Chernobyl

texts:
I recently purchased and installed STALKER - Shadows of Chernobyl. A little research demonstrated that community does not recommend to run this game without at least a basic, bug-fixing mod, but many also recommend use of Complete 2009. This fixes the same issues, but provides a graphical overhaul while aiming to keep the core play experience intact.

After playing the game for a bit, I decided to use this mod just for the added resolution. But I'm also aware a lot of fans claim the mod makes the game significantly easier. This seems to be a subjective opinion based on minor changes the mod makes to enemy awareness of the player which, in turn, was introduced to make stealth play a more viable option.

For all the arguments out there on this subject, it seems very hard to find out what, exactly the mod changes apart from the bugs, graphics and the added teleport system. Does anyone have a more detailed breakdown of what's been altered in terms of gameplay, why, and what the impact on the game is?

texts: How likely is it for an end portal to already be "complete"?

texts:
We already know that in Minecraft 1.16, an end portal can generate with 12 eyes of ender already placed, such as in the seed -4530634556500121041.  The odds of this are calculable: 0.1^12 = 1 / 1 trillion.
Recently the seed 2483313382402348964 which generates the following end portal was discovered:

For all practical purposes this is a complete portal, since it gives immediate access to the end.  Then the actual odds of a "complete" portal are higher than 1 / 1 trillion.  Do we have an estimate or actual value for the odds of a complete portal, including this case?
I've noticed that the completed part of the portal is in a different chunk than the rest of the portal, which is probably a hint as to why the generation happened like this.

Is there any actual advantage to either one?  Are there any differences at all?  Or am I just deluded by the amazing cinematics/graphics into thinking my brick is superior?


texts: Timing out upon reconnection to a server

texts:
Every time I join a Minecraft server after being disconnected, I time out just as I finish loading in. I can connect to other servers when this happens with no issue.
The issue will persist until either I turn off my computer completely and then let it sit for some time/completely remove all power or if I restart my internet entirely. This issue seems to appear every time after I disconnect from a server for any reason other than me clicking disconnect directly.
I have checked firewall settings, anti-virus settings and I know that nobody else on the server is experiencing this issue. I have logged out and back in of my account, changed my Minecraft skin to force my account to update the whole nine yards.
This is very frustrating as I don't want to have to completely restart my internet every single time I get disconnected from the server due to afk or whatever. My ping isn't the best with the server, its usually around 120ms with some variation however my connection is consistent.


texts: How do I make bandits stop following me on the map

texts:
In Mount and Blade (the original, vanilla) I keep getting chased by much stronger enemies (looters, steppe bandits, deserters etc). They prevent me from reaching where I want to go and occasionally catch on to me. Either by chasing me into another group of bandits or by running faster. Usually this ends up in a battle where I lose my entire crew and end up even more vulnerable to these bandits. I'd like to prevent these battles that I will lose with certainty.

What are the requirements for the bandits to stop following me?

What are effective strategies to prevent battles against stronger armies?

With requirements I mean like being out of a certain range, being covered by a city, woods, mountains... whatever makes them stop.

I am aware that the pathfinding skill improves map speed (is this significant enough to invest in it?) and usually all or most of my troops are mounted. I recruit the default warriors that cost 10 denar each.

Here's an example of what I am talking about:

When hovering above these enemy troops it states "following miva" or something similar.

texts: When is the "lock-in" point for the Diana Allers romance?

texts:
Generally, in Mass Effect, you're limited to monogamous romance.  However, Diana Allers seems (from what I've read) to be a little unique.

The Mass Effect Wiki entry for Diana Allers notes that she does not become a "committed partner".
The Mass Effect Wiki entry on Romance does not include a "lock in" point for the Diana Allers romance.

As it is now, I've done a bit of mostly harmless flirting with her up to (and including) the second interview - the one where she says she might follow me home like a lost puppy or something.  However, my end goal for this particular version of Commander Shepard is to be with Liara.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  I'm not seeking to actually romance both characters - i.e.: reach the final love scene or establish a permanent relationship with both.  I've just been perhaps a little too friendly with one person than I should have, while I'm intending to pursue another.

Have I gone too far with Diana for me to have a successful romance with Liara, or is there actually no point of no return (besides the final romance scene) with Allers like there is with the others?


texts: How does Max behave while returning from photo-travelling?

texts:
When Max travels back in time using a photograph, she only spends a few minutes there and then comes back to the present (visualised with burning old and appearing new photos). She seems to know at least a bit about what happens in the meantime, for example she seems not at all surprised to hear that

   she wrote letters to the paralysed Chloe, including poems.

But she also seems to behave differently while returning, because while she

   warns Chloe that Mr. Jefferson is evil,

she says that she won't remember what she just said. And later, Chloe says something like "here's the real Max again", suggesting that she can easily see a difference.

Is Max in some sort of barely-working-autopilot-mode (like the protagonist in the movie "Click") or does she behave the same as usual, but without time travelling? Or does she indeed use her time travel powers, but not using photos? Or, the real complicated option, can she use photo-time-travel while photo-time-travelling?

texts: Are the Final Fantasy games interconnected or independent, story-wise?

texts:
I would like to get into Final Fantasy, consoles and games are not an issue I want to play all of the mainline games. My question is - Whats the story about?

I just want a summary of the multiverse of final fantasy. I know each one is on a different planet if not another universe. Whats the general plot of all the games? is there a common evil in all of them? or are they literally completely different games?


texts: I am making a Build Battle minigame, and I am using /fill to reset builds. However, the issue is when I use /fill, it is in an unloaded chunk, so I would have to load the chunk somehow, then do the command. I tried using the armor stand spreadplayers method, and it worked, however it seems a bit too tedious and unnecessarily long. Is there any alternates I have?


texts: I've found the secret terminals on the first three levels, but can't find it on level 4. I even went climbing around on the palm trees underneath the level, but still couldn't find it. Where is it?


texts: Is there a real widescreen patch for Warcraft 3?

texts:
Is there a "real" widescreen patch or hack for Warcraft 3 to e.g. allow playing in 16:10/1680x1050?

The only solutions I've found (like changing the resolution in the registry) give me either 4:3 with black bars or stretch to 16:10.


texts: Skyrim special edition for PC freezes at specific points

texts:
My rig
i7 2600K, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, 16 GB RAM, Windows 10.
What I'm facing
Walk towards Solitude (along the road, or from the direction of Morthal), or walk away East or Northeast from Markarth, and the game freezes.
Try to quicksave near one of these places and it freezes.
Stop near one of these places and try to fast travel and it freezes.
What I've already tried

Disabled all mods (I use Nexus Mod Manager, and yes, I'm aware that the mods are different for this versus the original game).
Reset graphics to 'optimum' as recommended by GeForce Experience.
Tried compatibility mode for Windows 7 and administrator settings on the game executable.
Verified that Steam itself isn't running in compatibility mode.

Anything else to try?
