When I start Bastion directly everything works fine, but when I launch the game through Steam, the sound comes out as static.

Oddly enough when I switch to a VT  with CTRLALTF3, and then switch back to my desktop, it seems to fix the sound.

I am using Arch Linux, Pulseaudio, GDM, and Cinnamon.

Does anyone have an idea why the sound is static every time I launch through Steam?

texts: Move kerbals in KSP - to save Jebediah from an unjust fate

texts:
I'm hoping for some help. I'm fairly new to the game so please bare with me. I recently reloaded a quicksave instead of creating one by accident. According to How would one undo loading a quicksave in Kerbal Space Program? it's likely I've now lost the old state (didn't leave in time)

But to add insult to injury I quicksaved at a time when I had gotten a big lander back to Kerbin and wanted Jebediah to take a soil sample. I wasn't sure if he would survive the fall so I saved it prior to letting go of the ladder. However in the reload Jeb appears about a meter to the left of the lander and promptly falls to the ground and dies. I can accept my lost  progress after this save but given all his science (and life) I'd really like to bring him home. I tried tweaking the quick save but every reload had the same effect.

Any help or advice on where to aim would be hugely appreciated...

Thanks!

I've been doing the Firestorm Citadel quite a lot now, practicing taking out Lord Vanaduke before I attempt a Shadow Lair run. I see this button hidden under a few boxes:

Unfortunately, I forget exactly where this is, but as you can see (over the minimap), I'm on depth 27.  This button does not have an obvious effect on the rest of the level.  I've completed it with and without pushing it, and never noticed a difference.

texts:
As a Wizard building primarily around Disintegrate, I've noticed that the game often corrects the beam of my death lazer to cause appropriate amounts of death, typically when there are ramps and stairs around me.

On occasion, this has bitten me in the hiney - I'll notice that my death lazer is shooting the ground, and not the titanic monster making attempts on my life.

The horizontal angle of attack is a straight line between your character a cursor - that much is obvious. But how does the game determine the vertical angle of an attack?

In Animal Crossing New Horizons, there's a money making strategy on mystery islands where you remove the things that allow bug spawns like trees and flowers to increase the spawn chance of tarantulas.

Then you just run around scaring away any other bugs that spawn to allow for tarantulas to spawn.

Now that it's April, a bug called Giant Water Bug can spawn. And it's everywhere. My map is spawning nothing but those right now, and I can't figure out how to scare them away. It seems like I have to just catch them, but this takes too long and burns through nets.

Does anyone have any hands-on experience with this controller and can tell me which titles it is compatible with? The specifications indicate that it definitely works with Guitar Hero 4, but what about something newer/older? I also wouldn't mind knowing which versions of Rock Band it works with.

texts:
For high scoring with warmage i use the vampire gaunlet-windbelt strat involving throwing mobs on to steam vents, which pushes them to a push-trap to a spring-trap (here orcs get flamed up with scorchers as well), and then the spring pops them into a grinder. I put a web-spinner in to the mix as well. It is easy to get 10x combo with this. However, I use up one slot for the mana-rage trinket because i just cannot manage the mana required for windbelt.

With sorceress however, it is easy to achieve 13x combo (remove manarage and add acid spray, assuming i get one smash combo as well with the wind belt). So i was looking for an answer for the mana management with warmage. Is it possible to get highscores with warmage given his mana pool?

texts: Nick Valentine disappeared... what to do?

texts:
Just before taking out the courser, when I was resupplying at the Castle, Nick disappeared. He was an active companion, and was with me at the Castle, but I could not find him by the time I left.

Fast traveling to another location did not help. I exchanged him for Cait, and sent Nick to Red Rocket. Looking on the map, Red Rocket had 1 settler (previously 0) so I killed the courser and headed to Red Rocket.

When I got there, Nick was not around and the settlers count was again 0.

I tried console commands, they do not work. Nick was not teleported to my location, or was invisible and silent. He is also not within Goodneighbor, any settlement, nor Diamond City.

I have no idea what to do next to get him back.

The question is whether those images can be restored. They have .bmp extension but MsPaint doesn't recognize them, so maybe they are in some Bethesda's proprietary format, is that possible?

And if not, is there at least a way to prevent this from happening and get nice screenshots? I tried also the Steam's F12, but that doesn't do anything at all - how surprising.

I'm trying to create a macro, which hits one key and then sets a delay of e.g. one hour. So I create the macro like this:

When I save it and then reopen the macro manager, it looks like this:

I thought this looks like the maximum delay number, so it should always reset to this delay when I enter a number which is greater than 61.056. So I tried this:

But when I now save it and reopen the macro manager it looks like this:

It looks like roccat macro manager just sets a random delay there. Is there a maximum delay? Am I not able to add a delay of one hour?

I'm using the latest driver version, downloaded from the official roccat website. My keyboard is a Roccat Ryos MK Pro keyboard.

My Petra is an assassin, doing a very good job of her role.
While looking at her stats, I noticed some of them have blue text, rather than black text, notably her speed and defense.
At first I thought, that must be the max stat this class can get.

Afterwards, I used a speed increasing item, and it still went up by 1, so it looks like it is not the cap for that stat.

Does anyone know what these blue stats mean?

texts: How can I EV train in Pokemon Sword and Shield?

texts:
In previous Pokemon games, I was able to EV Train by defeating certain types of Pokemon with my team I wanted to train.
This involved going to certain routes with my team and defeating certain Pokemon.
Whichever Pokemon participated in the battle and gained EXP would also gain EVs for the fight.

In Pokemon Sword and Shield, all Pokemon in your party gain EXP after anyone defeats an opposing Pokemon.
The ones who actually participated in the battle noticeably gain more EXP than the "bench warmers".

Does this impact how much EVs they obtain, do the "bench warmers" still gain EVs at all?

My true question is, what are the methods of EV training in the Galar region, and how do I effectively do it?

In case it matters, I have beaten the main story, but thats about it, I have not yet caught my version legendary (playing on Shield)


texts: How do I get Fangora to drop more beads in Kirby's Epic Yarn?

texts:
I am trying to unlock the bonus levels in Grass Land.

Apparently, to do so, I need to get to a certain number of points on the boss level (Fangora).  All the advice I have seen says "Catch the fireballs he spits at you".  I've been doing this (and have managed to achieve a gold medal for the level), but the catchable fireballs seem to happen randomly (the rest just collapse into nothingness) and I've never seen it more than once per level, so I haven't yet received enough points to achieve the "Bonus patch" level.

Is this a matter of timing?  Do I need to be closer to the dragon or something, and catch them earlier?  Or is it genuinely random, and I just have to keep catching the fireballs until they give me something to hold on to...?

I have replayed ME2 2x hoping it was just a corrupt file but still she is about to die. So I have everything right, have replayed ME2 multiple times and STILL she is too stressed and Mordin says I don't have the data. Also, I did select BOTH options on how to save the data, the one for "Just in case" and they "you should help the Krogan" option. Didn't change. I don't understand. Especially since my first playthrough I didn't have it happen. I know it's a glitch, but there has to be SOME way around it. Because now the glitch carries over in EVERY game.

In Trackmania Nations Forever's map editor, is there any shortcut to step back in the block hierarchy?

I read on http://bandofscousers.proboards.com/thread/1652/tm2-map-editor-guide :

  Besides using the mouse to click on them, you can use the keyboard
  keys 1-9 to reach them, and the ^ key to make 1 step back in the block
  hierarchy. Then use the mouse to move around the map, and use the
  mousewheel to select the desired height to place the part.
  Alternatively, use the cursor keys and the Scroll up/down keys

However  ^  does not seem to work in TMF (the guide was written for TM2).


texts: How exactly does ethics divergence work?

texts:
I know that positive Ethics Divergence means that pops drift away from your empires' core ethics, and negative means they drift towards, that's not a problem. See related question.

What I want to know (that's not answered by the above link) is, what's the math? How often does a pop have a chance to change ethos? Once a year? Once a month? Does positive divergence mean that any ethos moves will be away from the empire ethos, guaranteed (even if it's a conquered pop that already has very different ethos)? Does a more negative value mean that the pop will get more chances to change to your empire's ethos, or does it mean that you will get the same chances to change, but the probability of it working is higher?

Additionally, how do changes between the different tiers work? Does the shape of the ethos wheel matter (other than directly opposing ethos, which obviously matters)? For example, is it easier to go from militarist to Xenophobe or Spiritualist than it is to go to Xenophile or Materialist?

I've read this forum post as well which seems to be a better explanation than anything on the wiki, but there have been some major patches since then and I don't know if it's current. It also seems to suggest that fanatic pops can rotate around the wheel (like Fanatic Militarist can one-step go to Fanatic Xenophobe or Fanatic Spiritualist), which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Why not just get it over with? I feel this is bad sportsmanship and in most cases I just concede.

What are the benefits and incentives for not immediately killing your opponent? Does the defeated player lose anything (e.g. rep) by conceding?


texts: Minecraft Vanilla server - Test if a player is lagging?

texts:
I was just wondering if there was a way I could test if a player is having lag issues while playing. This is a very important feature, because players that are lagging are susceptible to a false ban by the command block anticheat. I am trying things out such as setting their Alive score to 0, and adding 1 to it every tick, I've also tried this with the Alive objective being stat.timeSinceLastDeath

I thought this would work, because when a the player/server is lagging, the scores don't properly add/set. (not just client side, also server side) I guess the real question is: How can I test if a player's objective score stops incrementing? Because, in theory, if the player's score stops incrementing, then they or the server are lagging.

texts:
So I've got my grandmaster diagrams and I'm ready to craft grandmaster weapons and armour.

The thing is, enriched dimeritium plates and ingots is absurdly expensive to buy from the grandmaster blacksmith.

Is there anywhere I can find it (or the parts to craft it) for free?
Is there another merchant that'll sell it cheaper?

Thank you in advance and please answer as spoiler free as possible.

texts:
So I'm trying to detect when I'm wearing a unbreakable black leather boots with a lore, a name, and enchants. Here's the code:

/testfor @p {Inventory:[{Slot:100b,id:"minecraft:leather_boots",tag:{Unbreakable:1,display:{Name:"shadow sandals",Lore:[_____],color:0},ench:[{id:0,lvl:31073},{id:7,lvl:31073},{id:4,lvl:31073},{id:3,lvl:31073}]}}]}}}

But it says that it has unbalanced curly brackets, can someone help me fix this and give me the corrected command?

PS: The testfor is so when I wear the boots it will give me a potion effect.

texts:
I am looking at buying Guild Wars 2, and I was wondering what the in-game implications of each of the items available with the Digital Deluxe/Collections Edition have?

The items in question are:

Summon Mistfire Wolf Elite Skill
Miniature Rytlock
Golem Banker
Chalice of Glory
Tome of Influence

The reason I ask is because generally the items included with such editions don't have an advantageous effect on game play (for example with World of Warcraft you get vanity pets) but there are instances in other games where this is not the case (for example The Secret World, where you got a pet cat which increased experience gain during the initial part of the story).

It is worth noting that I have not played Guild Wars or Guild Wars 2 previously, so I'm not aware of what the various pieces of in-game terminology refer to or effect, for example the tooltip text for 'Tome of Influence' on the Guild Wars 2 site states 'Give your guild a one-time boost of Influence' - but I do not know what effect this actually has.

What are the gameplay implications for each of the Digital Deluxe items?


texts: How do you take down a Paladin with the MAAWS

texts:
I have completed every single Weapon Master challenge except this one. I need to take down 2 more Paladins with the Maaws (I have no idea how I got the first one...must have been already injured and I got lucky...)

I watched this video:

  If the link to the video is ever destroyed, the player shoots the Paladin with an assault rifle with a few clips. It even shows him getting hit markers like crazy, and then he hits the Paladin with a single shot from the MAAWS and it goes down.

But it doesn't seem like I can hit the Paladin with bullets, even when I'm on the same side of the map that it is on.

So here I am, asking for help on the final challenge. How do you take down Paladins with the MAAWS launcher? (I already did it with the MAYHEM thankfully...)

Update

I was just playing around on the Combat Readiness Program, and a Paladin was called in, on Riot. It seems like that Paladin was physically lower than most that I've seen. I was able to hit it with a KF5, so probably any gun would do. So now to figure out what maps have paladins that are low enough to shoot at... Hopefully I can get someone to get one on Riot so I can confirm it still works when playing online.

I encountered a strange crash on closing Civilization V.  Usually the game closes fine, but on occasion the crash presents as follows:

What I'm hoping for is something that will prevent this terrible thing from happening. I've tried fences but they still blow up if you are on the border of the fence and you happen to be unsuspecting of their approach. Some good building techniques would be great for anticreeper measures.

texts:
I've nearly reached the breaking point with this game. A few more failed startups and my fist will be through my monitor.

I've tried everything on the Internet. I've gone through four Google pages worth of links, trying everything mentioned. I simply cannot reach a solution. I have an options.ini, but my game will not start. When I put in a specific resolution, I get the DirectX 8.0c error, but it goes away when I use any other resolution. I tried the solutions for the DirectX issue, but nothing worked. Now when I start the game, I get:

It just opens, pauses for a second, makes my screen go black for a second (just to give me hope, I presume), goes back to what you see above, then sends the splash image to the top left, then closes. The game does not open, it just closes.

At this point I'm just done. I can't find the solution myself. Does anyone know how to fix this?


texts: What is the most preferred approach of LAN gaming in Counter Strike 1.6 or Condition Zero?

texts:
The issue is common for both CS1.6 and C-Zero. I am trying to connect with 3 other laptops in an ad-hoc network for LAN gaming. Three Dell Laptops and one Acer. All have different OS viz. Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit in two laptops and mine and the other laptop has Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Somehow we successfully connect and start playing. But all of a sudden, there is a sudden surge in the latency and the game lags and freezes almost frequently and it is impossible to play. All the players are affected due to this. In the game, when I create a server it is never visible to any other users.

CS servers made in Home Premium OS are not visible on LAN ?

We tried to reduce the latency. I am not some professional at this game actually we all are just having moderate expertise or maybe little expertise. In the console I tried to make the following changes before starting the gameplay:

rate 25000
cl_cmdrate 80
cl_updaterate 80

But this made no difference. As I mentioned earlier we connect to an ad-hoc network created by one user and all others connect to server created in the game by any user. The ad-hoc network works for some and doesn't work for others. My laptop cannot get the server made by my friend in ad-hoc. The above approach didn't work sometimes. So we tried the connect <IP Address> approach which works for all but the above described lag problem persists.

I am not so well-versed with networking so I may have misspelled, misused or maybe unaware of some jargon's pertaining to it. So my question is what approach should be followed so the game works without any issues on all systems in LAN gaming ?


texts: Is the selected Clan War Base unusable if it as the little red house icon?

texts:
I recently just brought my first Inferno Tower and placed it in my main base. prior to this i had already created a Clan War base and when i was nearing 5 mil to get my tower i altered it to where i would place it.

After placing it at my main base i went to alter my Clan War Base layout and noticed there was a little red house icon in the corner. i recognized it from when i initially designed the base when i had yet to place my Town Hall or Clan Castle. since the new design had a hole in the "non-deploy-able" area which the Inferno Tower would fix i placed it in there anyway.

I know that Buildings and Upgrades are not carried over to a Clan War Base if they are completed after Preparation Day so i have opted out of Clan Wars for the time being (as the Inferno Tower wouldn't show up until it's done and attacks could use this hole). however given this Clan War Base is my only one which i selected to use, had i not placed my currently in construction Inferno Tower into my Clan War Base and i entered into the Clan War would that layout would it have been used? if not would mt regular base have been used?

texts: Skyrim: Is there a percentage cap to the alchemy/enchanting fortification loop?

texts:
Possible Duplicate:
  Maxing out gear with maxed out smithing, enchanting and alchemy

With 4 pieces of +28% fortify alchemy gear, I was able to create a +32% fortify enchantment potion.  I was then able to use that potion to create 4 pieces of +29% fortify alchemy gear.  However, using the new gear, I was still only to create another +32% fortify enchantment potion.

At first, I thought that it was just rounding down to the nearest whole number for display purposes and that it was actually 32.xx% behind the scenes.  However, I don't think this is the case.  Usually, when items are distinctly different in any way, they group separately in the inventory screen, but the +32% potion I created with the +29% alchemy gear groups in with the other fortify enchantment potions that I previously created with the +28% gear, so I am assuming there's no change.

I hear there's a fortify restoration exploit, but I don't want to use that.  Basically, I just want to know if +32% is the most I am going to get from a fortify enchantment potion.

Similarly, I can't find information on why one would use timers vs. pressure plates or dart traps vs. lava.

What is the most productive way (in spawns over time) to wire up a statue?

I want to merge the snowball/FallingSand passenger nbt tag with FallingSand/snowball.
So, I have two commands set up:
data merge @e[type=snowball] {Passengers:falling_block, tag:{BlockState:{Name:"minecraft:sand"}}}
data merge @e[type=falling_block, tag:{BlockState:{Name:"minecraft:sand"}}] {Passengers:snowball}
The commands are supposed to detect whenever a snowball exists then make it so that a FallingSand is placed as a passenger. Then, it places snowballs on all FallingSand, and this repeats, forming a snowball/FallingSand tower. I'm not sure if it will work, since it probably will detect the non-top snowball/FallingSand and break the chain by removing all passengers then placing a FallingSand/snowball on top. Is there a way to ensure this doesn't happen?

texts: Fastest way to clear out a large area down to bedrock?

texts:
I'm thinking of building a large mobfarm (standard spawn on pressure plates, piston pushes the mob off, dies from fall damage and a waterflow collects the drops).

However, to maximize efficiency I want to build it at bedrock-level (due to lc values), meaning I need to clear out the area that I plan to build this on. Since mobs spawn within 128 blocks, this means I'll need to clear out a 128-radius circle from the collection point, which is a good few million blocks.

I realize the simplist option is to build it in the sky, but due to minecraft's lc value mechanics, the spawn rate will go down significantly and I want it to be as efficient as possible. I've tested with JL2579's mob farm design at bedrock compared to y=180, and the bedrock farm spawned about 2-3x faster.

I don't have any TNT right now (obtaining TNT being the purpose of making a mobfarm), so mining it all out by hand would probably take several weeks. Is there a good mining strategy to clear out large areas, or any better options? It's an SMP server, so no MCedit or world editing. Thanks!

texts: How can I improve the performance of java games?

texts:
Minecraft and Terraria both run incredibly slow on my machine.  I've never seen anything like it, javaw.exe hammers my cpu - it's constantly at 100%.  These aren't even graphically intensive games, they both use java, so I suspect that to be the reason.

I tried setting low render distance, 3D anaglyph to off, graphics to fast, but still minecraft became unplayable.

I uninstalled all previous versions of java and installed the latest version: jre7.  I even tried running minecraft in very low resolution and it still killed by cpu.  Reinstalling minecraft and java hasn't worked.

I've checked that nothing else is running, anti-virus autoscan is off.

I've managed to run hl2, portal, cod4, san andreas and other recent 3D games just fine, so it's very frustrating.

Pentium 4 2.8GHz
1 GB RAM
NVIDIA 5600 64MB

texts: How would I reduce lag in duplication of blocks on roblox?

texts:
I've recently attempted to create an infinite mining sandbox game in Roblox very similar to "Mining Simulator," "Treasure Hunt Simulator,""Dig It!""Fish n' Dig," and more. This particular problem has been preventing me from publishing the game.
When I have a pickaxe equipped, I start mining to lower depths and everything seems pretty normal. However, around depth 200-300, my game starts lagging excessively and the progress GUI bar at the bottom of my screen (the bar that lets me know how much progress there is left until the block I'm digging at is either broken or the value of the block lowers) starts lagging when I'm holding down the pickaxe. This obviously eventually makes the game unplayable.
I have a sufficiently high-end computer to run roblox.
The main cause of the lag seems to be from an excessive amount of minable blocks in the game that are cloned on all of the other minable blocks' surfaces (besides the top) when a player mines it. I only see the lag improve when I manually delete some minable blocks from the Workspace which is obviously not a viable option since it would interfere with the main gameplay and purpose of the game.

I also tried to cure Villas, but he doesn't even come with me to the flame to cure him. In my journal, the Purity quest is marked as finished even though I haven't done a thing.

texts: Multiple wins with different races, but only 1 "Win of day"

texts:
I'd like to unlock ranked games for free on a new account, so I need 10 "Win of day".

The in-game text suggests that you can win multiple "Win of day" (one with each race). I've won multiple games (1 unranked, then multiple "Versus A.I." with a different race) but I have only 1 "Win of day".

Is it a bug or are there additional conditions that I should know?

P.S. : I know there may be a minimum length for the game to count (2 min 30) but I was over this.


texts: How can a 2 handed dagger stun lock a havel monster to death?

texts: I was just chilling and collecting weapons on my completionist account. I was maximum soul level in the lower brightstone cove when an arbiter spirit invaded me. He was cosplaying hidie knight, and rolled around non stop a dozen times. Then when I was in a corner, he took his dagger, and hit me over a dozen times with it, each hit doing 200-300 damage. I was wearing some of the best armor in the game, with total defenses being around 1,200 in each stat. with 2,600 HP. So is this actually possible? or was he hacking with infinite stamina and using mundane dagger with all 99 stats?

opened or unopened item boxes

scavenger bots status (including location and time left before they return to a bench)
status of rooms unlocked with Torque Bars
which missions are currently selected and active
suit upgrades

texts: Why do I have to buy the same items twice?

texts:
I've noticed that sometimes when I play Awesomenauts, I'll teleport back to the shop to buy items, and everything I've purchased up to that point has to be purchased again.

I'm assuming this is a bug, but I'm really hoping it's intended behavior. As in, I bought Damage +2, played a bit, teleported back, and had to buy Damage +2 again, giving me a total of +4 Damage. However, I worry that this is not the case.

Why does it make me repurchase items?

Sorry if this is a simple question, but searching this forum and general googling wasn't yielding anything that seemed useful.

It seems that since I am on the Op list, when I place a lever, they cannot use it. Anyway to fix that without making them Ops as well?

Only changes I have made were to Op the BuildCraft user so that the quarry can repair it's frame.

Thanks in advance!

texts: How can I determine steam maximum download speed?

texts:
My ISP provider released a data plan of 1GB, which roughly translates as a download speed of 100mb/s.
As an early adpoter of this ISP, I had too many good experiences with them to trust that they would deliver this download speed. However, to my dismay, I cannot surpass the 60mb/s download speed for steam, other than some random spikes.
After contacting my ISP, they claimed that steam may limit trafic on specific times and that is why I cannot get to my dream download speed.
My router is a Gigabit one, so it can handle the internet speeds.
My speed tests show 1 GB on fast and speedtest.
With all that in mind, is there any way to test or guarantee the max steam download speed?
I decided to post here instead of superuser because this may be a question of other gamers

Is there a good strategy for fighting them? Is it simply a case of waiting until I have more upgrades?

texts: How do you walk from Windhelm to Winterhold?

texts:
I walked from Whiterun to Windhelm by following the signs and checking the worldmap. My final destination was Winterhold, however. Once I got to Windhelm, I couldn't find any more signs that pointed what road to take to Winterhold. I looked on the world map, but the roads aren't clearly labeled there like they were in Oblivion. I couldn't see any part of the terrain that looked particularly passable or road-like.

I eventually took a carriage to Winterhold, but I would like to know what route I should be taking if I decide to walk there in the future. Where is the road to Winterhold?

texts: How can I specify a particular spawned armor stand in a later command?

texts:
I made a command creation that tests for an iron block 1 block lower from an armor stand and after that it test for a diamond block 2 blocks lower and when it does that it spawns a command block that spawn a structure block to finally spawn a house. This worked fine but i saw that it only works if there is no other armor stand around it and when there is one that is closer to the command then it does not work. Here are the commands:

texts: How can I get back to level 5 in Legends of Grimrock, once I've gone to level 6?

texts:
I've been tromping around on level 6 ("Trapped") for a while, looking for a way to get back to level 5.

I have more or less completed the level, since I can access the stairs down at the end of the Sequentis area, but I can't find a way back up.

I did find

   a secret staircase in the Halls of Fire (in the long hallway with the fireball-shooting head) that led back up to level 5. However this leads me into a room containing two fire elementals that blocks me off from the rest of level 5.

In short, I can't seem to figure out how to get back to the main area of level 5 and above. I'm trying to kill some green slimes I passed up earlier.

Is it too late to go back, or is there something I'm missing?

texts: Is there any way to play Hammerfight with a gamepad?

texts:
Hammerfight, while being a great game, is also excellent at annihilating your wrist, as controlling the game is done by performing circular motions with the mouse almost constantly.

When I first got the game, I looked for a way to translate gamepad input to mouse input so that I could play the game without inflicting physical harm on myself. The results I came up with were far from satisfactory, however (I found some way to turn my PS3's controller input into mouse input, but it was very sluggish and simply wouldn't do at all).

This site didn't exist back then, so I ask you, has anyone managed to set up a gamepad to work with this game in a way that doesn't feel like you are sacrificing control for convenience?

Path for Rare-Treasure Hunting!
Path for Interesting-Item Hunting!

I have some ideas on what kind of items can be obtained for each one of those, but I am not sure if you can for instance use one of those treasure hunting options to find items like the Electrizer or such. What are the different items you can obtain from the different treasure hunting options on Isle Aphun?

texts:
How can I test certain mechanics (for example whether Manta Style gets you out of Treant Protector's ultimate).

Currently what I do is host a game, get a friend to play the other side, set to appropriate levels via cheats, and then test. This though always requires 2 players involved.

How do I do it solo? I tried for example "-spawnhero Treant Protector", but either he wasn't spawned, or I couldn't find him, so that was useless to me.

I know there has to be a way, since the DotaCinema MythBusters does similar tests, but how?

Here is what I plan to do:

Point people to a website I make. There should be the details to connect (password, etc) if people want to enter by themselves.
If people want to connect faster, have them click some kind of a link that should do the connecting for them.

Is it possible to host bookmarks that connects to to a TeamSpeak server with password and channel, or do I need to script this?

I want to really lower the barrier of people connecting, so the easier the better.

Given this, is there any way, as Woodie, to somehow obtain the Glommer Flower?

I have read through Niantic's support regarding the new feature which allows you to send and receive gifts. Based on the support link, you are limited to sending a single gift per friend each day.

  You can send each of your friends up to one Gift per day

You are also limited to how many gifts you can hold in your inventory before acquiring another from a PokéStops.

  You can hold a maximum of 10 Gifts in your Bag at any given time

However, the support does not mention a limit on how many gifts you are able to open per day.

Is there a limit to how many gifts I can open per day? i.e. If I have 15 friends who all send me a gift in a single day, am I able to open all 15?

texts: How can I test for a nonexistant NBT tag?

texts:
I have three villagers, which might or might not have a custom name.
The custom name is controlled by the CustomName NBT tag.
For villagers with a custom name, their CustomName tag looks like this:
{CustomName:'{"text":"Chad Ferguson"}'}

For villagers without a custom name, the CustomName tag is nonexistant.
Here is some code to test for if a villager has a certain name (using the nbt argument):
/execute if entity @e[type=villager,nbt={CustomName:'{"text":"Chad Ferguson"}'}] run tellraw @a {"text":"Chad is here!"}

Now I would like to test for an entity with a nonexistant CustomName tag, something like this:
/execute if entity @e[type=villager,nbt={CustomName:''}] run tellraw @a {"text":"An unknown villager is near"}

Now, this command won't work, because an existing, empty string is different from the tag not existing.
The ! argument won't work, because of this:
execute
  if entity @e[type=villager,nbt=!{CustomName:''}]    # If there is an entity that does not have an empty custom name...
run tellraw @a {"text":"An unknown villager is near"} # then say a message.

That command will run if the tag is nonexistant or if the tag has something other than an empty string ''.
How can I test for entities with a nonexistant NBT tag? I am in MCJE 1.16.2.

texts: Fallout 3 Tank Build Tips and Explanation

texts:
My wife and I have recently come back to Fallout 3 after doing New Vegas and taking a break from the wastes for some GTAV. On our previous run, we focused on mainly well-rounded, with a little more towards sneak and energy weapons.

This time, though, we'd like to go with a brute-force tank approach - we've already done our S.P.E.C.I.A.L. so I'm not sure if we've miffed ourselves or not, but we haven't taken the G.O.A.T. and set up our tag skills nor perks.

Given our S.P.E.C.I.A.L. set, what can we do to make sure we'll have a worthwhile tank once we go through the tag/perks and start leveling up outside of Vault 101?

S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

Strength - 10
  Perception - 6
  Endurance - 8
  Charisma - 1
  Intelligence - 3*
  Agility - 10
  Luck - 2

* After we had already done this, someone on the GameFAQs forum suggested a 3 of Intelligence in their tank build, but failed to elaborate on why "it's a good idea" – any suggestions as to why would be neat.

I have just bought Skylanders for my son's birthday tomorrow. Just been informed he's got a friend coming around, and they are likely to want to play Skylanders in 2 player mode. I have two Wii plus controllers, but only one nunchuck. Do both players need a nunchuck, or can I get away with just one?

I'm guessing I need two, but a quick answer may save me a midnight trip to the local supermarket.


texts:
I have done the tasks on the global map to get the 3 crime lords, but it doesn't show in the task list that it is completed. Also, the crime lords don't come to the island. What must I do?

And also, Nikita Leonov doesn't come to the island either for capturing. I need help getting further with this game. This problem is the 2de task of the game.


texts: Can I use the {Invisible} tag on an item frame?

texts:
I want to make a floating item, and the best way I could think of was to make an invulnerable invisible item frame. I tried this command:

/summon minecraft:item_frame ~ ~ ~ {Item:{id:diamond,Count:1},Invisible:1,Invulnerable:1}

It did summon an item frame but I could see it and the item. What happened?

texts: What crimes can a Thane commit without punishment?

texts:
I'm now a Thane in Whiterun - I was caught picking a simple lock in an inconsequential area and I was able to pull rank and tell the guards that they should remember who they're talking to, and they told me that they'd let it go but that I should be more careful.

Is that just talk, or can I get away with things repeatedly?
I'm guessing that I can't murder people and then claim diplomatic immunity, but can I always get away with low level crimes like picking locks or pickpocketing?
Is there a (daily?) limit after which I'm arrested?
Does it matter which guard sees me?

Aspiring supervillains want to know.

texts: Can ping but can't join my friend's server

texts:
My friend has a laptop that he runs a server on for just me and him to play on. This server always worked, whether it be modded or vanilla, there were no problems at all. One day it just stopped working, we changed absolutely nothing between the two days but it just stopped working. We've checked the internet for hours but no one else seems to have the problem we have to this extent. When he hosts it I can ping it, see the motd, the amount of players, but when I try to join I get an "IOException: connection forcibly closed my remote host.". I tried to run the server myself and I can join it fine but he gets the exact same error. I decided to try to connect to his server from a different connection with the same computer and it worked perfectly fine, but this connection won't work. We've tried:

A VPN and that worked fine, but was unplayably laggy.

Checking absolutely everything we can, all firewalls are off.

It's port-forwarded correctly (because I could join on another network).

There're no banned IPs (Because when I hosted it was a fresh new server).

There're no plugins that are harmful to the server, no plug-ins at all for that matter.

We've factory reset our routers.

We've tried everything and nothing will work at all. Please help


texts: Health decreasing for no apparent reason

texts:
I am playing Dragonborn DLC. I am currently going through one of the black books quests and even though I am not fighting my health bar keeps going down. I can heal back up to full again but it keeps disappearing. If I do not heal I will die in about 30 seconds.

I have no disease or nothing is visible anyway, no clue as to what's wrong. I can leave the black book quest or fast travel to a different location or rest for 24 hours but still the health disappears.


texts: What are the most profitable tailoring recipes?

texts:
There are many different tailoring recipes available to craft for your pawns once you research Complex Clothing (and even more with the Noble Clothing and Royal Clothing options!), each requiring a differing amount of both labor and materials.

While both quality and material can affect the final value of the item, they're moot comparatively, assuming the quantity & time remain the same. (Do any clothing materials have work time adjustments? I know building furniture out of stone is slower than metal or wood)

There are two equally interesting maximums I'd like to consider (though they may be the same) --

The tailoring recipe that maximizes profit / time
The tailoring recipe that maximizes profit / material

What should I be making in order to most-quickly grow my burgeoning clothing franchise?


texts: What are all of the Runescape chat badges and what do they mean?

texts:
In RuneScape, some players and moderators get a special icon in front of their name. What are all of them, and what do they mean?

I'm asking because I saw one I do not recognize, and I want to learn more.

This is the one I am specifically asking about, though I want to learn about all of them.

texts: Will Continuous flying damage the aircraft?

texts:
I am now having a test on various flying vehicles with continuous flying. Now I tried:

Frogger
Maverick
Titan

Engines of all the above will produce smoke trail after a in-game day of flying (given that Titan has retracted the landing gear during take off). Then continue to fly for half day, the plane will drop altitude significantly (though full throttle is set, and the plane is leveled). Flying for 2 days, I am forced to land the plane on an airstrip.

Does this prove that continuous flying will damage the aircraft?

p.s. I was just dodging the bounty :P
