texts: Wii browser capabilities: Specifically: chat/JS/Flash/local storage

texts:
I've been asked about the specific capabilities of the Nintendo Wii.

Does it have a web browser? If so, is it suitably enabled with JavaScript/Flash, etc.? I'm thinking could it support a chatroom-type scenario?
Is it possible for the web browser to save web content onto some form of local storage? I'm thinking chat logs, web pages and/or images/videos.

I don't personally have a Wii and don't know anyone that has who can give me a definitive answer. Hopefully one of you guys will have tried pushing a Wii browser further than most!


texts: Are heavy cannon and auto-cannon still tactically advantageous after acquiring the laser rifle?

texts: At what point are save transferable items from Witcher 1 available in Witcher 2?

texts:
I have downloaded an Ice Plains savedgame from online and edited it using a savedgame editor to equip Raven Armor, Ard'aenye and Moon Blade, as well as 999999999 Orens. I verified that I had these items equipped ingame. However, when I started my playthrough of Witcher 2, I had a blue Stripes Combat jacket and 2 random swords equipped, not the items I should get from the transfer.

When do I get these items?


texts: What are the disadvantages of purchasing pre-owned games for the Wii U?

texts:
I have a Wii U and I want to buy some games. It's in the nature of console games, that they are expensive. So I think about buying pre-owned games.

Because the Nintendo Club is closing, I have no disadvantages that I will not have the Nintendo Club codes.

But is there something else which could be a drawback buying a pre-owned game, assuming, the disc is intact and an original one? There aren't any serial numbers or bounds to a console, right?


texts:
I was playing Destiny two days ago (my char is a Warlock-Voidwalker) and the matchmaking has given me a decent team. In this team there was another Voidwalker that was SO "unusual"...
As the game was going on, I noticed that he had a nova bomb ready everytime we met an enemy.
I started following him and discovered that I was right: he was casting nova bombs like every 30 seconds or less...
Pretty sure about the fact that he was a cheater, I didn't bother searching through the web for a solution.
Yesterday, while cooking, I turned on my console and decided to watch some good Destiny's action on Twitch. Entered a channel and, SURPRIIIIIISE, found a warlock with a 20/30seconds nova bomb casting time doing a raid into the Vault of Glass.....
Now the question is pretty simple: is it just me or those two guys are both cheaters?!
If not, does someone have an exhaustive guide on how to setup the Voidwalker class to reach this goal? Every walkthrough I've found on the web didn't gave any noticeable result...

texts:
So, I've been getting pretty good framerate on most of the games on my new laptop. A couple days ago, I tried playing Minecraft modpacks which had some major problems. I tried to fix those, which resulted in, well, them not being fixed. Now, my FPS in most games is quite bad compared to what I was originally getting. Some examples are World of Tanks (used to get 60 fps, now struggling to get 30) and The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth (had some minor framerate issues which are now more severe). My PC's basic specs are as follows:

  CPU: Quad-core Intel i7-6700HQ

  GPU: Nvidia Geforce 960M w/ 4GB of dedicated video memory + integrated Intel HD 530

  16GB RAM

  OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Home

I currently have the "Preferred graphics processor" set to "High performance Nvidia processor" in the Nvidia control panel, but that seems to have no effect.  Additionally, I have uninstalled and clean-reinstalled the latest drivers and reset both the global and Java settings in the control panel.

I ran MSI Afterburner during a battle in World of Tanks. What I saw was that I'm not using up all of my GPU's processing power (average: ~60%). Last time I checked, no power settings are limiting performance, so I have no idea what it could be.

Is there anything else I could possibly do to try and fix this issue?

EDIT: Lowered WoT graphics settings and saw no change in average framerate, as if it's almost locked at 30fps.


texts:
I am currently playing Harvest Moon:The Tale of Two Towns (US release).
I am living in Konohana.

According to all of the FAQ sites out there, Strawberry seeds should become available in Spring of year 3. I am in year 5, and have been visiting Gombe's seed shop 5 days a week (it is closed for two days) for the last three years and I have never been able to find strawberry seeds.

Is this a known bug? Does anyone know of another way to get Strawberry seeds?
Some of the ways I have tried (unsuccessfully):

Lose the cooking contest in Spring and hope for some Strawberry seeds as a consolation prize
Look for Strawberries as a reward from a message board task, and hope to use my seed maker
keep checking the Seed store every day

In year 5, spring, the crop festival involves strawberries, and I am quite out of ideas at this stage.

texts: How can I upgrade my Police Station to a Precinct without releasing all the criminals in jail?

texts:
Moving from a Fire Station to a Large Fire Station (i.e. closing the small one, building the large one, and deleting the small one once the large one is fully operational) is relatively painless. Moving from a Clinic to a Hospital kicks all the sick guys onto the street and does I don't know what to the injured guys, but it generally doesn't cause much of a noticable problem.

Moving from a Police Station to a Police Precinct releases all the jailed criminals onto the streets, which makes things hairy for several days. There must a better way of doing this than to just turn the old building off and let the baddies loose. Similar to how one can let a Trade Port/Depot sell all its stuff before demolishing it, can one have a station stop arresting criminals but still keep them and rehabilitate them? I tried reducing the number of cars but it looked like it was going to take an extremely long time since you can't reduce the number of cars to zero (so new guys would keep coming in).


texts:
So I've been reading through some guides in preparation for a Clean Hands playthrough - killing absolutely no one, using the Non-Lethal option for all the assassination targets.

However there's one point that seems a bit muddled. The guides say that if going for the Clean Hands achievement, it might be a good idea to avoid Granny Rags altogether, as interacting with her leads to that bit in the Flooded district and it's very hard to get out of that without killing someone.

However, they warn, avoiding her altogether makes it impossible to get the Gentleman Callers and Street Conspiracy achievements.

Gentleman Callers is obvious, but Street Conspiracy includes the non-lethal option for the Pendletons.

So basically what I'm asking is, can you still use Slackjaw to take out the Pendletons without killing them if you avoid Granny Rags?

texts: Minecraft Launcher Causing Black Screen and Laggy Cursor

texts:
When I try to launch Minecraft, I get an extremely laggy cursor, and a black window where the log in window should be. It's not the "black screen" issue that people talk about, as this is happening before I even log in. I've tried completely removing my .minecraft folder and redownloading the minecraft.exe, but neither of these worked. It's been laggy starting up the launcher on this computer for ages, but it used to work up until recently.

EDIT: My computer is more than adaquate for the game:

Intel Core i5 CPU (second gen I thinK)
ATI Mobility Radeon 5650 GPU
6GB dual-channel DDR3 RAM

Only thing that's a bit slow is the HDD, at 5400 RPM.

texts: How do I get the Invisible Exploding Fireball Arrows through console commands?

texts:
I was reading the UESP wiki's "Skyrim Glitches" article, when I came upon this gem:

  Invisible Exploding Fireball Arrows

  These can only be acquired while on the quest Rise in the East, but once you have them, they can be used for the rest of the game. Near the end of the quest, after exiting the tower on Japhet's Folly, your character encounters a barrage of explosions. These are actually created by an unnamed invisible arrow, and it is possible to stockpile these arrows on your character by being hit with them. While they don't show up in your inventory, anytime you use the last arrow in a stack, the game will frequently equip these "Missing Name" arrows next. They act like an invisible arrow that shoots a firebolt, which explodes into a fireball when it lands. When you wish to stop using them, you can manually equip a stack of any normal arrow. To use them again, simply shoot the last one of any arrow type, and the Missing Name arrows will be equipped again. The number you can stockpile is only limited by the amount of time you want to spend hanging around at the end of the quest getting hit, since they are weightless.

It describes how to get those arrows by playing through a particular quest and "catching" the arrows. I am thinking that the same arrows can be added through console commands, instead.

Anyone know how I could do this? (What are the Invisible Exploding Fireball Arrows' refID?)

He says it can be found in the light world, in a grove where he used to play (which is the same place as where he is located in the dark world), and that he has buried it there.

I have teleported back to the light world and dug up most of this grove but still haven't found it, I remember it being somewhere around the tree stump but as you can see it's not there:

Is the location of the flute randomised or am I just looking in the wrong place?


texts: How can I change the Install Directory of Games in Origin

texts:
In preparation of the upcoming Battlefield 3 Open Beta, today I attempted to set up Origin to install to the proper directories.

My base Origin is installed at:

  "E:\Games\Origin".

For some reason though, Origin wants to install all of my games to:

  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\".

So I attempted to change this to:

  "E:\Games\Origin\Games", or even just "E:\Games",

however I keep getting the error message: "The game installation directory is invalid. Please select a different directory." This always comes up unless I pick a directory that is in "C:\Program Files (x86)\" somewhere.

As you can see below: Red is the error message I get every time I try to change the directory, Green is the default location which can only be changed to VERY similar locations, and Blue is showing the fact that I can change the location of the installers just fine.

Is there any way (even using other programs, like a registry editor) to change the directory that Origin will install my games to?

texts: Bravely Default - Helplessly dying during main story

texts:
So....I've recently gotten into Bravely Default. Simple.
But, here's the thing...I really can't progress.
I've had trouble with all of the bosses, especially with The Jackal and other side quests, with them taking over (And I'm not exaggerating) an hour as Jackal kept healing himself with the potions he stole from me, and me dealing absolute pitiful damage.
I was also stuck and had no way of passing Orthos, which I only won thanks to an Ablink with 9999 damage.
I was able to deal with the Turtle on the way to Sage Yulyana on foot by poisoning it and stalling out.
But now, my cheese strats are no longer working - which is quite a problem, as it was my only strat of beating bosses.
I'm in the middle of Chapter 2 where I have to get through Twilight Ruins to get to the Water Vestal, and I'm getting absolutely destroyed by the everyday common enemies there.
They're all weak to Earth so I made Agnes a Summoner, but that spell takes way too much Mana to use even once, and all enemies there take at least 2 hits of that to knock out properly.
On top of that, the Imps keep healing themselves while dealing nearly half of any team member's health as damage using Drain, and Silence turns my mages - the only real weapon I have against Imps - into sitting ducks.
This was how it was for me, on every step of the journey. I had to continuously run back and forth across the map to heal up at Inns, and that usually let me struggle through. But Twilight Ruins is my breaking point - I have to run back to an Inn every 2 battles, 3 if lucky. Items aren't a viable option either, as they're hella expensive and do next to nothing to keep my members alive as every enemy just cancels whatever potion I used anyways.
Am I doing something wrong, or do I just have to grind? Would very much enjoy a good answer, as I'm stuck on not even 1/4 of the game.
My current team is Lv.24 Tiz as Monk(Lv8)-WhiteMage(Lv1), Lv.24 Ringabel as DarkMage(Lv7)-WhiteMage(Lv1), Lv.24 Edea as Freelancer(Lv8)-Monk(Lv1), and Lv.24 Agnes as Summoner(Lv4)-WhiteMage(Lv7).

texts: Is Pokémon Bank still compatible with ORAS?

texts:
I want go go back to my Alpha Sapphire game and catch the legendaries I missed out on. I had already transferred my Gen 4 Legendary Trio to my Pokémon Sun game. Since I caught them in Hoenn, I thought I would be able to transfer them back the Alpha Sapphire so I could catch Dialga, but unfortunately, I couldn't.

Before I reset my game and catch the trio all over again, I would like to know if I am able to store Pokémon I have in my Alpha Sapphire in the bank, reset my game, and still be able to transfer them back into my Alpha Sapphire. This way, I could use an existing team to speed the game up a bit, and hopefully get to catching the trio faster.

Am I able to  transfer Pokémon between saves, like this, or is this method a lost cause?

texts:
I saw this message in chat

  hi - any borderlands2 players here? I'm in TVHM now and finished two DLCs there so i'm lvl 47 with almost no story missions done. unfortunately those don't scale so i wonder if it'll be possible to join a multiplayer game with someone who's almost done with TVHM story and kill The Warrior to unlock scaling and then continue doing the story missions

This answer seems to verify that beating playthrough 2 begins that scaling of enemies and such.

  beating playthrough 2 scales enemies and rewards to your level

Could scaling be enabled by joining a multiplayer game on Playthrough 2 and just beating the final boss?


texts: Which crosspath is better overall for a 4-0-0 alch

texts:
So, a bit of backstory: I've been using 4-2-0 alchs for buffing because when you get perishing potions, it buffs brews and stims, but every YouTuber I've seen uses 4-0-2 alchs for buffing because it throws them out more often. so I've been wondering if one is better. 4-2-0 is quality over quantity and 4-0-2 is quantity over quality, so which is generally better?
by the way, perishing is better for 5-0-0 alchs because the buffs are permanent so why would you need to throw them faster if the potions are permanent.


texts: Uru Graphics issues with Windows 7 - Strange brightness mostly on plants

texts:
The other day I decided I want to play Uru again, as I had just upgraded my sound system (to 7.1 surround) and had yet to play it on my new computer. My computer is a Windows 7 64 bit HP Pavilion g6 laptop with 4gb RAM, 2.1ghz duel core with a Radeon HD 6470m - More than enough to play Uru with. I started the game and made my character, all was well. However when I hit "Play" and the intro vid started I got this:

I said to myself "what the heck" and moved on, a bit annoyed that I didn’t get to see the vid, but I had seen it before so I could live with it. However I found that the issue persists in the game, creating strange artefacts (hope that’s the correct use of the term) with the plant life, and other issues, namely with the ground. The common thing out of all this I can see is the colour. It all seems to a bright white / light blue colour to it in most cases.

I looked around on the internet, but could finding nothing to help me, mainly things about running Uru on Windows 7.

Does anyone know anything I could do to fix this? The game ran fine on my old XP computer, but sadly that computer's graphics were rubbish, and the whole computers a bit old. I really want to replay this great game - Any help would be gladly welcomed and appreciated - Thanks

(These are the settings I'm running Uru on)

If I missed something in the UI that would be fine to point out. I would encourage keeping spoilers out, though.

I am currently in Novigrad, doing the quest "The Play's The Thing". I am stuck at the part of "Head to the docks and hire ushers for the play". I have already met Sofus The Bull, who, from my understanding, is who I need to talk to in order to organize the fight to prove my worth so they will work for me and keep peace at the play.

Though after I challenged the man his next line was "Made up your mind, ready to take part in the next fight of the century" but then the next line from the Sofus The Bull is: "Unless you have found your, Uh, Ushers, For, Uh... Whatsit." and then Geralt's only response is "Lemme think about it." which then ends the dialogue.

I cannot move along in this quest without getting the ushers and I have looked online for help but it seems no one else has ever run into the same problem. I have also tried different times of day but it seems to have no effect. Is there something or someone else I have to see before I fight this man?

I've searched for a bit online, but I couldn't find the full text.  And quite frankly, it scared me so much that I'm not willing to play through it again to get to that point, haha.  And I'd have only the same few seconds, regardless.

So what was that text?

texts: Several things in Illyriad are based off of population (when you can start your next city for instance), and my population is definitely growing, but I don't know what influences it.  Does population grow with time, excess food, or activity (building, producing, etc)?


texts: I have been playing Watch Dogs since it came out and i recently did the mission called "Not A Job for Tyrone" and my friend did this mission to. But what i wanted to ask about is how i hack a car. What i mean by that is, everytime i steal a car, i need to break the glass to get into the car. But my friend does only need to press Triangle (on PS4) and he just opens the car like if he has the keys to unlock it. But i do not have it. We've done the same missions and everything but still, nothing. Is it maybe because i haven't unlocked any ctOS towers? Thanks.


texts: What advantage is there to staying in the air?

texts: There are some sections of tracks that allow you to deploy your hang glider or parachute.  This allows you to glide in relative safety until you hit the track again.  But you can also hit forward or back on the control stick to tilt down or up, respectively.  Is there an advantage to staying in the air?  Or does heading back down towards the track give you more speed than just gliding along?

texts: How do I complete Bound Until Death without earning a bounty?

texts:
I'm at the Bound Until Death quest for the Dark Brotherhood and want to do it with the bonus task (balcony kill).

It's not a problem to kill the bride, but I haven't find a place to do it from without getting a 1000 gold (sometimes +40) bounty instantly. Everytime the guards will chase me, even when I'm using an invisibility potion.
Of course I'm sneaking and kill her with one shot.

Places I tried:

other balcony where that bow is
on the castle wall, going through the church
from behind her ;-)

Is it possible to "stay in the dark"?

Oh, and do I have to worry about my argonian friend?


texts: So yesterday I connected my ps4 controller to my iPad via Bluetooth and it didn’t work it showed it was connected then when I switched my iPad off after like 10 mins I just turned off my Bluetooth then plugged it into my ps4 (it is off by the way) then the following morning I press the ps button my controller and it just did the flashing light 1-4 time then switched off. I’ve had this problem before so I thought I can just reset the controller then I did that by using a toothpick to press the button under l2. The controller still didn’t work I’ve watched countless videos on how to fix but none of them worked pls help


texts: Does race affect damage, assuming otherwise identical weapons and combat skills?

texts:
If my opening questions answer is "yes", then wouldn't the +5/+10 skill bonuses races receive only be beneficial at the start of the game?

I know the races have individual racial abilities, but most of them are not that great. For every one of the racial abilities, you can get a spell or potion to do the same, except for the +50 magicka the High Elf has. You could have some enchanted armor and/or a potion to increase magicka, but a High Elf could do that plus have its racial +50 on top.

Is this correct? (And wouldn't this make High Elves the best race?)

I am in the process of building myself a Steam Box - a PC running Windows 8 and Steam that is going to be plugged into my TV without a keyboard and mouse attached. The only form of input plugged into this machine is going to be a wireless XBox 360 controller, which supports XInput.

I want to make it so that when my PC starts up, it will start Steam (which is already covered in many questions on this site) - but I would like Steam to start in Big Picture mode straight away, essentially skipping the need to click on the 'Big Picture' link to start it.

How can I make Steam launch in Big Picture mode?

texts:
What happens to octopodes when they transmutate? Will their rings meld into their body?

The wiki article on dragon form says this:

  All equipment except for rings and amulets meld into your body

So does that mean I will be able to keep my 8 rings on?

What about necromutation?

texts: Does having lots of in-game items in Skyrim cause instability?

texts:
In my latest playthrough I'm running any quest mod that teases my curiosity.

But I'm also a Completionist (or 'Garbage Collector/Resource Hoarder', if you prefer), I have as much stuff as I can find stored in chests, wardrobes or desks - everything from every mod (armors, weapons, statics, journals, notes etc as well as tons of ores, ingots, hides and gems even if I might not need all of them.

And recently, with my new GPU, a GTX 660 2GB, I noticed Skyrim is very buggy. Random CTDs are the most annoying, of course, but the loading time is very frustrating. Worse! The overall performance is not greater than it was with my iGPU.

I read here and there that big save game files (mine are ~25MB each) can cause these issues. I tried to clean them with tools provided in Nexus site but the size still the same, which probably means there is no unintentional leftovers.

So to summarise: Does collecting stuff in Skyrim cause instability?

If I want to reduce my save game files, and thus reduce the stuttering, lag, random CTDs and long load times, do I have to empty all my bookshelves (which I filled with every single book, mostly handpicked in Apocrypha), dispose all unique  items coming from quest mods, reduce my storage to a barely minimum amount of supplies and throw away all armor sets of each tier just to get stability?


texts: What is the origin of the Qin Shi Huang theme music in Civilization IV?

texts:
I've been trying to identify the music that is heard while one talks diplomacy with Qin Shi Huang in Civilization IV. The melody has been stuck in my head for a while now, and I'd like to know what it is I keep whistling.
Sadly, it's not listed on the Wikipedia article about music in Civilization IV.
Since I have not played any other games in the series, it is entirely possible the theme is a remake of music from an older game in the Civilization series.
Does anyone know more about this music theme?
For reference: I'm talking about this song:

What are the actual requirements for meeting this goal? What am I doing wrong?


texts: Coalesced for credits in Mass Effect 3 not working

texts:
I finally figured out how to use Wenchy's Coalesced editor, and it worked for changing the highlight strength for intractable items in the game, but when I try to do the one for setting my credits, it doesn't work :/

I do:

Open Coalesced file using a Coalesced Editor (I used the first one OP listed)
Open bioinput.ini
Open engine
Open playerinput
Open bindings
On the right side, create a new line and enter:

( Name="NumPadZero", Command="initcredits 9999999" )

Create a new line after that then save.

But it doesn't work with the numpad (which I set since my Alienware 13 doesn't have numpad options, so I used the program SharpKeys to help out), nor did it work with any other key I tried, like plain '0' and '~'.

Can someone help me out here?


texts: Why is light level important in Destiny? How does this work?

texts:
In Destiny, once you reach the normal level cap of 20, you can start equipping armor that has a "+ Light" bonus stat that gives you additional levels above 20. I'm currently level 21 now.

How does this affect my gameplay, other than being an indicator that I have stronger gear?

Let me explain what I mean. The question is just the sentence above, however.

When I equipped the item that gave me enough total light to reach level 21, I'm still playing with the same weapons as I had before I equipped it. The armor piece I equipped was a lot better than the one I had, in addition to having light, so yes, I gained some survivability with the new item.

But let's assume I gain a few more armor pieces and reach level 22, still with the same green weapon from level 19, and try the level 22 strike missions, how did these items make me better equipped to handle the bosses in that strike?

Only survivability?

Or is resistance on the mob affected by level difference, meaning that if only my light level changed, I will still hit better as level 22 than as level 21, all else being equal?

Right now it only seems to be a gear score type of thing, and that can't be right. Can it?

Is it possible for a world generated in 1.7.9 to be exported to an earlier version, such as 1.7.2 or 1.6.5?

I am aware that people can simply copy world files into respective directories, but I am not sure how far back this applies to.

The main reason I am doing this is to use modifications from the earlier Minecraft version.

Thank you for any comments or suggestions.

texts: Why is it that 3x3 stairs won't build, but 2x3 + 1x3 will?

texts:
I have a 3x3 column of up-down stairs that I've dug out, and accidentally broke through to the caverns before I was ready.  In trying to block the bottom, I dug out the bottom set of up-down stairs and tried to replace them with an up stairs construction.

DF won't let me build a 3x3 up stair in the space; it says it's blocked.  However, it does let me build a 2x3 stair and a 1x3 stair to fill the same space.  Why?

z+1 is the level above the build issue where the last up/down stair (designation) is.. z is where the 2 up-stair constructions are (2x3 on top, 1x3 is the row on the bottom) and z-1 is cavern.

Unchecking and rechecking "install" didn't do it either.

In Heart of the Swarm, the Leviathan that serves as Kerrigan's command ship is completely massive

How do I get more plants for my Zen Garden? talks about 'survival' mode, but I don't see that anywhere on my phone. Does it have some other name, or is it not in the mobile version?


texts:
The level 46+ version of Chillrend has the highest base damage of any one-handed sword in vanilla Skyrim. The heavier dragonbone sword from Dawnguard equals its base damage, while only the 60+ version of Miraak's Sword from Dragonborn surpasses it.

~ UESP

I got Chillrend when I was around level 25 and it did decent damage at that time but now I found that an Ebony Sword is the best I can use.

My question is, when I get to level 46 or higher, will Chillrend become stronger or did I make a mistake in taking it early?

Thanks.

I have several parachutes to slow my craft on Duna. I set their altitude at 1500m and their atmosphere setting to 0.5, yet they do not deploy. They turn blue when I activate them with space bar but they do not deploy. The persistence file says they are STOWED. I did use quick load but only while out of the atmosphere and the parachute were not deployed. I also tried putting them as the last stage as there was an old bug about that. When I right click them before pressing space bar, there is the button to deploy them. When I stage, the button disappears. Going in EVA doesn't allow me to repack them as they have never been used.

Is there anything else I didn't think about checking?

How can I link my account?


texts: Does attack per second affect Demon Hunter's hatred generation?

texts:
I've noticed how 2-hand and 1-hand weapons can have the same DPS, but very different attack speed making attacks per second more or less frequent. Hatred generation skills' descriptions don't say if you get n hatred per hit or at 1x attack speed rate and I couldn't get any weapons with different enough APS rates to conclusively measure the hatred generation rate, but I suspect that affects it.

Does attack speed (attacks per second) affect how much hatred you can generate?

texts: What happens if you're defeated in an ambush?

texts:
The tutorial text describing the Mog Clock says that if you let the timer into the red, you're immediately forced into battle and that if you lose that battle you don't get the retry option.  What actually happens in that case?

In most games I would expect you to get kicked back to the title screen, but with autosaving (and being able to save manually almost anywhere) that doesn't seem like much of a punishment here, but it must do something bad or there would be no reason to implement this.  I'm afraid to try, personally, without knowing what will happen.

If I deploy a Squad Shield around a few of my teammates and I, is it possible for enemies to shoot through the shield with heavy weapons such as the AT-ST's canon, the AT-AT's canons, turrets, or air vehicles?

I have a feeling this is possible because I think it happened to me. I was standing inside a Squad Shield and an AT-ST appeared to shoot through it.

I have solar arrays on my probe, but it says they are retracted and I don't know if/how I can extend them. Is this a bug, or do I need to design a better ship that incorporates electricity better. Also, the m/s speed and elevation are locked after this "malfunction" happens, unless I time warp again.
Possibly unrelated, sometimes my stages freeze, causing my ship to become completely unresponsive, leaving the rockets at whatever throttle they were at, then spinning out of control and crashing.
 Any help would be wonderful.

texts: Why does the ship in Dead Space carry babies?

texts:
So after watching a stream, a question came up about the babies in Dead Space 1. One of the enemies are the babies that crawl on all fours, on the walls and ceilings, and have 3 tentacles that fire barbs at you. In Dead Space 2, these come from care facilities in the city, and in 3 they are dog corpses. But in 1, they are babies.
Basically, there is a section of the ship dedicated to maintaining the babies in stasis, for some reason. Is that ever explained? Is there any (in-game or canon) explanation as to why the Ishimura (a mining vessel in deep space) has a large collection of babies on board?


texts: Till what level does a health pot out-heal ignite damage?

texts:
The question is pretty self-explanatory. Did someone do the math to know till what level the healing pot out-heals ignite? Assume that there is no other damage applied an no other healing applied.

Notice, that when I say out-heal I mean that the champion will live even if he had 1 hp at the moment that hp pot and ignite started ticking.


texts: Does the National Neopian Bank actually limit withdraws?

texts:
It says under "Make a Withdrawal" that:

  If you withdraw Neopoints too many times a day, the bank staff may get angry and refuse to serve you! Withdraw wisely.

I've never withdrawn very many Neopoints, and I assume that there is no size limit to a single withdraw, but is there a limit to the quantity of them? What is it?

Does anyone have first hand experience with the load times on both platforms?

texts: Elisif's Tribute - Where is the shrine of Talos?

texts:
I am trying to become Thane of Haafingar hold/ Solitude.

I cleared out Wolfskull cave, Elisif asked me to take her Husband's War Horn to a shrine of Talos. It shows up as a Misc Journal entry.

Where is this shrine?

I tried taking it to the shrine in Whiterun where the priest was always yelling. No luck, no options to leave the horn there.

I tried following this Guide, I kept and kept on searching. Nothing between north of ritual stone or east of Whiterun resembles what they are talking about. But it is a radiant quest so I think that information might be dated.

This guide says to go to the appropriate shrine.

Our very own guide has no such mention, meaning it should be an easy do.

I have been wandering looking for this shrine for almost 2 hours now real time.

Which shrine of Talos do I need to drop the horn? And more importantly where is it/ How to find it?


texts: How to manipulate the camera in Fortnite Creative and Battle Lab?

texts: So, I've seen the Fortography challenge results now and then and it's left me wondering exactly how these people take these pictures since I can't find any camera tools in Creative or Battle Lab. The closest thing I've managed thus far is placing my character close enough to an object that it forces the camera into first person, but that only works if there is a large enough object around and it returns to third person as soon as I move. There has to be some way since people are clearly doing it. So, my question is, how do you manipulate the camera in these modes to change the viewing angle or go into first person to get better pictures and video?

texts: Does anyone know which Age of Empires map this is?

texts:
I remember playing some AoE I map and I cannot remember which one it is. I think it could be from RoR expansion but I am not sure.

Scenario is like this: You start in bottom left as blue team and you have 2 priests. On top left side of map is some weak enemy so you can use priests to bring villagers to your side. And it is easy to defeat the first enemy. Second enemy is located on the right side of map, and the only way to reach him is to cut forest through bridge-like land. When you cut all the way through, you have to face the red enemy to win.

Layout is something like this:

I think I played this map from some demo version of maybe an expansion pack or something. Does anyone know what is the name of map/scenario and where it is? I do have AoE I, RoR and gold edition but still cannot find it.

texts: How long do followers stay branded in SoM?

texts:
In Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor the player has the possibility to "brand" enemies (Uruks, captains, war chiefs, caragors and even graugs). By doing so, those enemies will not attack you and when you get into a fight with other, non-branded, enemies your followers will fight along your side.

My question is, for how long do uruks and caragors stay branded? Sometimes when I leave a region where I have branded 20+ units, and I arrive back there later on, I often only have two remaining followers. This is quite annoying, because you can't "build an army". Is there any time limit on how long units stay branded? Or did they simply die while I was gone?

texts: OP way to control your realm? Any draw back for this?

texts:
In my playthrough for Norway, I have England invaded. There are quite a few Saxon dukes that time to time have plots and give a reason to arrest them. Usually, the arrest chance is low and when I try to arrest they riot. So before the arrest, I bring my retinues and levies on their lands so when the revolt I deal with them very fast and with low army losses. Time-to-time, other dukes join them, but still that's only very few against the whole realm and usually they are easy to defeat.

After a successful suppression of the rebellion, I put the rebellious duke in a prison and can revoke ALL of his counties and titles whily it is only that duke who is unhappy. Nobody else cares as he is a traitor. Usually, suppressing the rebellion is easy and dukes have lots of lands to make many other dukes happy or even create new strong dukes.

I can repeat this again and again. Sounds like an overpowered strategy to get rid of dukes that are against you and keep the rest very happy. The only drawback I can think of is that it takes time to deal with rebellion which you might have spent inviding new lands outside of your real. But often you are threatening and have to wait for defence pacts against you to dissolve, so that's fine.

Is there anything I'm missing which would make this strategy bad? Sounds like I can just disable 'auto-stop' for plots and use that for my advantage...?

texts: Can the SSV Normandy SR-1 frigate get damaged in any way?

texts:
When compared to other available frigates in the game, the SSV Normandy SR-1 lacks a landing pad, meaning that the player can't board it like the regular support / explorer / combat / trade / industrial models.

The Normandy seems to also lack a captain - when the player debriefs the SR-1 during an expedition, there is no captain hologram (probably because it wouldn't make sense for the SR-1 to have a Gek / Korvax / Vy'keen crew) and the only feedback seems to come from an A.I. voice.
Regular frigates can be damaged during missions. In that case the player is usually contacted on their starship communicator. Afterward, manual maintenance has to be performed, and this requires the player to land on the frigate and do the required repairs.
The fact that the player can't land on the Normandy seems to indicate that the player wouldn't be able to perform any repair operation should it get damaged. The game doesn't mentions this directly at anytime, but does this mean that the SSV Normandy SR-1 has the hidden perk of being unable to get damaged at all?

NOTICE: Erik pointed out in the comments that the "Times damaged" stats reports "1" in the screen. While it is true that the stat does indeed increase any time a frigate is repaired, frigates seem to start with random numbers on that stat (as in, the initial value is also proceduraly generated). The Normandy specifically starts with "1", so the screen doesn't seem to indicate it was repaired "in game". More probably, the "one time damaged" stat is a somehow hidden reference to the fact that the original SR1 should be crashed. At least... in Mass Effect.

Blastoise doesn't normally learn Blizzard nor Ice Beam, by leveling up.
But if you teach it Bubble beam when it was still a Squirtle, it will learn the two said moves.

It seems that Bubble Beam also gets an upgrade from pokemon that evolves thus allowing you to learn those two other moves a pokemon wouldn't normally learn by simply leveling up.

With that said, is there any sites that shows a list of these moves upgrade from evolving pokemon?

EDIT: This was on the generation 1 (Pokemon yellow to be exact)

texts:
As a hardware and software engineer, I'm mystified by the claims that both the SNES and Genesis are 16-bit consoles. As best I remember the stats:

SNES

16-bit registers and arithmetic
8-bit data bus
8x8-bit multiplier
16/8-bit divider

Genesis

32-bit registers and arithmetic
16-bit data bus
16x16-bit multiplier
32/16-bit divider

I don't see any reason the Genesis would not be considered wider than the SNES. If we use the fairly common definition that the bit width is determined by the narrowest part of the system, the SNES would clearly be 8-bit and the Genesis 16-bit. If we define the bit width as the (equally common) size of arithmetic operations, the SNES is 16-bit and the Genesis is 32-bit.

  Quit Show

It currently seems the only way to do this is to hit pause right before you fail and restart that way, but this seems a little outrageous.

I'm the King of England and have also slowly usurped the title of King of Wales.

I can now press his claim and go to war with Scotland.

Question is, when I win the war and this guy becomes King of Scotland, will I actually see any benefit (other than his +100 opinion of me). Will I be his liege and will I as the King of England have expanded my territory to encompass Scotland?

Or would this be a pointless war and instead I should invite people with Ducal claims who will swear fealty to me should I press their claim, until I have enough of Scotland to usurp the Kingdom for myself?

texts: Why does my PSVR box not always turn on?

texts:
When I first got my PSVR, turning on my PS4 would also turn on the PSVR box, which would allow the TV to display the output from the PS4, so this seems like the intended behavior.

However, sometimes, the box does not turn on (e.g. the light stays red instead of turning white). Even if I'm not trying to use the VR, this prevents the TV from getting the PS4's output, as there is an HDMI cable going from the PS4 to the box and then another going from the box and to the TV.

I've been able to fix the issue by wiggling the HDMI cable from the PS4 in and out of the box (read: unplugging it and plugging it back in), but this kind of defeats the purpose of letting me lazily turn on my PS4 from the couch, since I have to get up and mess with the cables.

Is this a known issue and are there any solutions?

texts: Where are the 'content wells' in World of Warcraft?

texts:
One of the things I've noticed about the way World of Warcraft is developed is that, as players reach the current level cap and wait for the next expansion to drop, a series of placeholder patches are released that include dungeons and raids and increasingly superior equipment. However, each of these patches tends to include nerfs to its immediate predecessor, so the game's difficulty curve isn't so much rising continuously as it is perpetually unrolling.

As someone who only got into the game with Cataclysm, I found the leveling experience so easy that I blew right through Outland and Northrend without even noticing their higher-level dungeons and raids—yet as far as content density is concerned, those areas are significantly "deeper" than the wading pools I spent most of my time in: after using the Dungeon Finder and questing in Borean Tundra and Sholazar Basin, I had barely scratched the surface of the Icecrown quests before it was time for me to move on to Cataclysm zones, yet the Argent Tournament and various Icecrown Citadel dungeons and raids could almost take as much time and energy as I spent on the rest of Northrend put together.

What other content-deep locations did my rocket-jump to 85 bypass? The fact that Zul'Aman was transformed from a raid into a dungeon suggests these wells are ripe for developer recycling, and I'd like to experience this content the original way (or, as close to original as is possible in the year 2011) before they get remixed and rereleased.

I'm finally giving Terraria a go, and am quite enjoying it.

I recently killed the Eye of Cthulu, and got the notification that the Dryad has entered the world.

Now, I had housing already available for her (I went with a tall apartment style building for NPCs), and the lower levels are already populated.  However, its been probably at least a few days of playing and she still hasn't settled in a room.

Thinking the room was too high, I built another one on the ground level to the necessary specifications, as I understand them, however she still has not appeared.

Is there any special necessity for the Dryad to settle in?


texts:
I successfully registered teams (Red, Blue). I want to add players to the team. It currently is 3v3 map, where you need to have 6 players to play otherwise the game wont start at all. So i tried something like this, since i knew there are 6 players online, else the redstone signal wouldnt even have reached the "Add player to team"-Command block.

scoreboard teams join Blue @r works, adds 1 player to the team. Now i could just execute this block 3 times and the Blue team would have 3 players. Problem is, that @r randoms a player and it might happen that player Shiuyin would be rolled twice, thus the Blue team would end up having Shiuyin + another random player instead of 3.

I also tried something like

"scoreboard teams join Blue @r,@r,@r"

which gives a lot of bugs, something teams do have players "Player1, Player2, @r".

So i need something like "scoreboard teams join Blue @r" executed 3 times which only adds player who are currently not in a team.

I tried "scoreboard teams join Blue @r[team!=Blue]" but it somehow doesn't work.

Any solutions?

I tried to add it again but I always get the error new steam folder must be mounted on a file system with execute permission. I have seen a bunch of posts about this but my problem is different for 2 reasons:

Other solutions are for ntfs. My partition is ext4.
Other solutions suggest renaming SteamApps to steamapps. I already have steamapps.

Here is the relevant line from /etc/fstab:

UUID=8c6ead8f-bf5f-41b9-864e-d743ad374636 /run/media/marcel/games  ext4    defaults,exec,user,nofail             0 0

The partiton gets mounted to /run/media/marcel/games. /run/media/marcel/ and everything under it is owned by marcel:marcel. /run/media/marcel, /run/media/marcel/games, and /run/media/marcel/games/steamapps are 755. Everything seems to be executable by steam.

texts: Unable to launch Edna & Harvey: The Breakout on Mac OS X via Steam - Wineskin

I'm new here and I got no clue about PC/Mac/Games/how to ask questions in here in general so I need some help. (I've already looked through previous questions but nothing could help me...)

I wanted to play 'Edna & Harvey: The Breakout', so I bought it on steam and because there is only a PC version available and I have an iMac (OS X Yosemite v.10.10.5), I needed to find a solution to run this game and therefor steam for Windows on Mac (that much I know).

I followed those instructions and it worked very well - I installed steam for Windows and downloaded and installed the game. But when I try to launch the game this error text appears:

It seams that the error message disappears after a while, so I get no error, the game just won't start. Everytime I try to start the game it says "first installation" (Java runtime enviroment, Microsoft .NET Framework and something else, I can't read that fast) - so maybe the game isn't installed yet.

So what exactly is my problem and how can I fix it so I can finally play this awesome game again?


texts: So, I tried to set up 2 supply lines, 1 from sanctuary to starlight and 1 from sanctuary to oberland, but neither of them have created. Theres no lines on my map telling me that the supply lines exist, but it wont let me send another settler to create a line. Am I missing a step, or is this a bug?

Based on experience in other games I'd expect it to work one of two ways:

Crit = ( Damage + ( Damage * Bonus damage percent)) * (2 + critical damage percent)

or

Crit = Damage * (2 + critical damage percent + Bonus damage percent)

If it works the first way, then % crit chance, % damage, and % crit damage are all multiplicatively more useful together, and it behooves you to get some of each. If it works the second way, then everything is simply a percentage increase of your base damage, and relatively interchangeable.

Other orders of operations tend to be counterintuitive, but are not unheard of.

The Amalur wiki currently being one that speaks in general terms instead of hard math, does anyone know the exact order of operations?
