texts: Is it possible to trap yourself in the Nether?

texts:
After entering the Nether is it possible to trap yourself without a way back to the overworld except via death or game commands?

I know it's possible to relight an extinguished Nether portal using flint/steel or even a Ghast's fireball but what can you do if your Nether portal is destroyed?

I was, rather foolishly, moving the only Nether portal I had from one point in my Nether base to another without spare obsidian. Using diamond tools I had dismantled the Nether portal and was in the process of moving it to a more secure room in my fort when I accidentally pressed the "drop" button on my keyboard. Because of my bad luck I had dropped the obsidian over a pool of lava - making it irretrievable - and no longer have enough to construct a new portal.

There was a series of mistakes that led to this happening: not having a backup portal, not bringing spare obsidian, previously demolishing the four corners of the portal such that those pieces of obsidian cannot be used. In spite of my errors, is there any way I can still escape the Nether or will I need to kill my character and have them respawn in the Overworld?

This question is intended for a survival singleplayer but answers can be encompass survival multiplayer too.

texts: What's the most coin-efficient way to condense pluses onto 1 powerful card?

texts:
Generally you get pluses one at a time, usually on cards you would just sell. Pluses are usually all fed to single powerful card to make it better.

The problem is that that's expensive. Feeding a single junky card to an high-level ultimate evo card can cost over 50k coins. What's the most coin-efficient way of moving pluses from a ton of crummy cards to a single powerful card?

Should I feed all the pluses to a junky card for cheap, them feed that one card to the target once it's +297?


texts: How can I load my existing characters looks into character creation?

texts:
I have already created one character and made it exactly how I wanted to look. However, after playing for a few hours and getting to around level 15, I've decided that I'm not really feeling tamer, and would like to try out another class.

I saw in the character creation screen that you could save and load file, but during creation I didn't do this. Is there a way for me to copy the design of my existing character into a file so I can load it up into character creation for the new character I'd like to make?

texts: Can you put multiple gems into the Gumball ship's equipment?

texts:
In Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime I have received three different types of gems inside little presents:

   - power gems
 - beam gems
 - metal gems

In the early game (Ursa Major campaign) can more than one gem be added to the ship's equipment? I can't exactly determine what happens, because

   I put a Beam gem into the shied, and it started reflecting bolts back at the enemy, but then when I tried to add a Power gem to the shield also, I couldn't determine if the Power gem simply replaced the Beam gem, or if it was additive.

 Wikipedia says that "Creatures saved count towards improving the effectiveness of the ship by allowing two gems per station", and I can't tell if that needs to be unlocked by saving more bunnies.

Can you put multiple gems into the Gumball ship's equipment during the Ursa Major campaign?

texts: How to deal with Arthur's long range assault in MVC3?

texts:
I have a friend who consistently uses Arthur as the last guy in his team.  As I take out his first two throw-away characters, he gradually builds meter until Arthur finally comes out, summons his golden armor, activates X-Factor, and then just throws everything he has at me.

The chip damage of this onslaught is insane, meaning blocking is not an option, and you'd better not even think of bringing out a poorly timed assist because he will kill it in one hit.

I've had very inconsistent results super jumping over all the obstacles, as well as teleporting around him with Dormammu.  I've had the best results with Dr. Doom as he can shoot projectiles as well as super from the air, but he has to come down sometime, and when he does, Arthur pushes him back with his heavy projectiles that eventually knock him back to the opposite wall or kill him straight up.

How do you deal with characters like Arthur that are always throwing projectiles at you, leaving you no chance to breathe?  Especially against X-Factor Golden Armor Arthur where blocking will get you killed?

texts: In 2v2 DotA 2, what combination is the best against these heroes?

texts:
So, I'm somewhat new at DotA 2, and I'm looking to learn of the counter-combination of these two heroes:
Anti-Mage and Shadow Shaman

Previously I have been playing a lot of Storm Spirit (And winning; He matches my preferred playstyle to a T, which is run in, kill, run out), and the other team are looking to play these two to counter me, as Storm Spirit is somewhat squishy and has little escape whilst silenced.
In the game I will have a teammate with me, and we'd like to know what would be a decent counter combination to Anti-Mage and Shadow Shaman. We are going to be playing with bots, 'Normal, Easy, Easy' on each team.

I understand that the question borders on subjective, and I apologise for that. However, I feel it may be helpful to some other players.

Thanks,
Ruirize.

texts:
So I recently found my 3DS, but I had changed the password on my NNID (Nintendo network) before I found it. So I re-signed in with my new password, but when trying to launch an app, it shows a message saying to "Redownload from the e-shop". So I go to the e-shop and find a game in the search that I own, I tried to redownload it but it says its downloaded already.

When I went to the home screen, everything I downloaded from the eshop was gone. Even my themes. Trying to get to my purchased themes on the theme shop shows theres an update available and I click install, but shows the error code: 009-4079: Could not access SD card. But the SD can read the theme that was set (Simple Blue) And 3 dsiware games. Everything else just cannot be downloaded.

Everything that was downloaded cannot be found in the data management options in the settings.

What should I do?


texts: What option in Skyrim did I set that caused my books and book text to look small?

texts:
Currently, my books and text look like this:

(Image was resampled from 1440 x 900 resolution)

As you can see, the book and text size is very small in proportion to the rest of the screen.  These books and the text within the books used to fill up the entire screen, but now the font is so small that it makes reading them a strain on my eyes.

I know I've been fiddling around with the ini files a bit and I've installed several mods, but I got no idea what mod would cause books HARDER to read.  Additionally, even if I were to swap out the ini files for clean copies, that still won't explain what's causing these books to display like this.

Anyone have any idea what option I ended up tweaking that might have caused this?


texts: What skills/passives proc Tal Rasha stacks, but are not cast for Etched Sigil?

texts:
I'm building a character with 6pc Tal Rasha's for 2000% damage

  (4) Set: Arcane, Cold, Fire, and Lightning attacks each increase all of your resistances by 25% for 8 seconds.
  (6) Set: Attacks increase your damage by 500% for 8 seconds. Arcane, Cold, Fire, and Lightning attacks each add one stack. At 4 stacks,
  each different elemental attack extends the duration by 2 seconds, up
  to a maximum of 8 seconds.

and the Etched Sigil for casting my damage dealing spells

  Your Arcane Torrent, Disintegrate, and Ray of Frost also cast one of your other damaging Arcane Power Spenders every second.

I need all 4 "elemental attacks" for Tal Rasha's, but I only want 1 or 2 "damaging Arcane Power Spenders" to ensure that Etched Sigil will reliably cast specific spells every second (in my case, Energy Orb and Black Hole).

What Spells/Runes or Passives fit the role of being an "elemental attack", but not "a damaging arcane power spender"?

I have verified Signature Spells will qualify for this role, however Ice and Storm armor does not. I also don't think Familiar works, but need to double-check that. I'm at work now so can't test every combination of spell/passive, but am not having any luck finding anything online so thought I'd ask to see if anyone else knows of skills that meet this criteria.

texts: Can not start listen server with SourceMod

texts:
I have SourceMod set up for a listen server on my copy of TF2. This worked fine as of the Invasion update. However, I updated to the latest version of TF2 and now when I start a server, it crashes before the map loads. This happens regardless of whether I'm setting up a LAN game or a bot match. Removing SourceMod seems to fix it, so I think the problem is with SourceMod itself.

SourceMod and Metamod both load, I can use meta version, and I am using the -insecure flag, but I am unable to start any servers while using them.

I am able to access TF2 with SourceMod enabled, and I can connect to other servers, but I can not start my own without the game crashing.

Does anybody know why this is happening and how I can fix it?


texts: I've been playing A Dark Room, and have noticed that the game auto-saves. While this is great, it means I can't play my save on another device, presumably because it saves to my cookies or IP.

texts:
While watching this HermitCraft episode, I noticed a red particle mob (visible in the screenshot).

The player hit the mob with his sword, causing it to erupt into a flame which was bigger in size than the flame which comes from a typical zombie, meaning this mob must be bigger than 1x1.

I don't know whether the game in the video was modded, or if any resource pack was used, but until now (after 51 episodes of HermitCraft) I've never seen such a strange phenomenon. Does anyone know what this is?

texts:
So I am making a capture the flag game.
I have a objective for picking up the flag:
scoreboard objectives add red_flag stat.mineBlock.minecraft.wool Has the red flag

I want it so that when a player dies, if the have the flag, they drop it where they were standing, (as a block, using setblock).
I tried, where h is a health scoreboard:
execute @p[score_h=0] ~ ~ ~ setblock ~ ~1 ~ wool 14

This doesn't work, because the player is dead, and score_h=1 means that if a player has exactly 1/2 heart, then they continuously setblock wool.
Currently, the only solution I can think of is this command, and /kill all players with 1/2 heart. I would like a cleaner solution. Any ideas?

texts: Can I complete Head of State if I completed Take It Back! while the slaves were on their way? (Broken Steel installed)

texts:
Just before going on with the Liberty Prime attack on the purifier, I did part of the Head of State quest, killing the slavers at the Lincoln Memorial and setting the slaves from the Temple of the Union on their way.

I know they take a couple of days to get to the Memorial, so in order to "kill time" I completed the Take It Back! quest in the meanwhile...

I have Broken Steel installed, so I can continue playing, but when I go to the Memorial, the slaves are not there yet, even though a couple of weeks are supposed to have passed.

Is there any way to complete the Head of State quest?


texts: How do I clear the "Hard" levels of Prof. Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax?

texts:
I was playing some of the Hard variant of the "Genki" side-mission with a friend last night, and we both got demolished several times in a row.  There's one part where Brutes seem to spawn endlessly.  We got the exit open, but we couldn't survive long enough (and also didn't have enough time) to get to it.

We're both somewhat low level, since most of our play time is just screwing around at this point.  I feel like I should play a bit more and get more of the upgrades before we'll be able to tackle this.

What upgrades are worthwhile to have during PG-SERC?  Are there any ways to stop the infinitely spawning Brutes?  Are there any general strategies for this that you'd recommend?

texts: How to effectively/quickly level Illumina routes?

texts:
I completed the main story to New Pokemon Snap, and I am going back to the previous routes and maxing out each one for 100% completion. While time consuming, the standard day/night routes are fairly straight forward to max out due to how expedition points are calculated.
However, because of the way expedition points are calculated, I am having a difficult timing gaining adequate expedition points in the Illumina routes. These routes will have very few Pokemon to take pictures of, so the amount of experience you can obtain is limited. The last three attempts at the Meganium route, I received 0 expedition points with having 29,000 left to hit the next level (or max?)
Is there a special trick to gain experience and level up Illumina routes?

Other random stuff I had: master sword, near hyrule castle, Savage lynel shield, (I forgot the bow) and had no buffs.


texts:
I don't know what triggers this bug, but it's pretty annoying because the only thing I've found that fixes it is completely restarting the game.

Sometimes when playing my camera just locks and can neither be unlocked by the hotkey, nor by clicking the lock/unlock camera icon above the minimap.

This is really annoying, especially if it happens during a multiplayer match.

I've already tried reinstalling the game a few times to no effect; tabbing out of the game and tabbing back in sometimes fixes the problem, but not reliably.

I'm out of ideas at this point; suggestions, anyone?


texts: How to set scoreboard of the player to 'N' if the current score is 'n'? (Minecraft)

texts:
I am trying to set a scoreboard to track the players' progress through my map with a scoreboard but I don't want it to continue counting up if the player plays the same part multiple times.
The command I tried is this:
execute if score @p levelcopmlete matches ..1 run scoreboard players add @p levelcopmlete 1 From what I Could see is the first part was not working, although it did work for a while before not working. I didn't change anything in between either.
I also tried:
execute if score @p levelcopmlete > 1 run scoreboard players add @p levelcopmlete 1
execute if score @p levelcopmlete >= 0 run scoreboard players add @p levelcopmlete 1
I started with the bottom one and when it stoped working I tried the other 2.

texts: Why do top season crusaders on 4-person team leaderboards have dexterity and intelligence items?

texts:
As season 3 is drawing to a close, I am looking forward to season 4 and starting a new character - and was considering crusader. When looking at the 4-person team leaderboards, I noticed that the top crusaders had many Dexterity and Intelligence items.

Since the crusaders seem to be building for all out crowd control and defense stats (cd reduction, resource cost reduction, armor), I can understand maybe some int stacking for the all-resistance, but the dexterity stat is confusing to me - wouldn't it be better to have strength since they will gain some damage from it, even if its just a little?

I would imagine by now they would have found strength items which could be competitive with the dexterity items they have in terms of defensive stats, and I double-checked to make sure dexterity still only gives armor (not dodge, like it used too)

Why do these crusaders have Dexterity on their armor?

I tried to increase the brightness from the game settings, but after a while (just seconds), it reverted back to black. I can see things, but all blackish. I have not had the same problem with other games.

So I wonder how you can pick up your preferred language in the game. Also, what languages are available to begin with? I'm not sure which language was available in the original version, but I know Chinese was not available as it has only been added since Sun and Moon.

Thanks.

I also would like to note that I used to run servers for Garry's Mod and the like, and they are alright, but I had a better Wi-Fi dongle then, and Garry's Mod has client-side prediction.
As a summation:

I am using the DarkPlaces engine, I am using a 150mbps Wi-Fi dongle, and I have 10mbps download 1mbps upload.

What recommended upload/download speeds should I have for a Quake 1 server?

texts: Card Rarity Ratios between Expert and Goblins Versus Gnomes Packs

texts:
I just asked about the difference in totals of collectible cards between Expert packs and Goblins Versus Gnomes packs: Card Counts for Expert and Goblins Versus Gnomes Packs

So clearly Expert Packs are drawing from a larger pool. But I'd like to ask a couple follow up questions:

What is the ratio of legendary/epic/rare/common of the collectible Expert set compared to the collectible Goblins Versus Gnomes set.
When opening a pack are the chances to draw a specific rarity adjusted to accommodate the difference in ratio.

In other words, do I have a better chance of getting a legendary when opening an Expert pack, a Goblins Versus Gnomes pack, or are my chances the exact same?

texts: Is there a penalty to interrupting training?

texts:
I have several dwellers who train high SPECIAL attributes, but are needed elsewhere at times (someone has to keep the lights on).

I have noticed that, most of the time (I haven't checked for all scenarios), training times resume back where I left them if the dweller was interrupted or made to work elsewhere; it is as if the system is tracking how much training has been done and getting the dweller back on track.

Is training investment wasted on a dweller if it is interrupted for significant amounts of time for other tasks (including death and exploration)?

texts: Can only have five bots in CS GO and competitive mode

texts:
I would like to play alone (or with some friends) against 10 bots.
When selecting "casual", this is working pretty fine.
(The bots are only added to the CT team, there is no kind of team balancing, there is no check, if one team has more members than the other, maxplayers is set to 20)

But as soon as I switch to competitive mode, there are only 5 bots allowed. When trying to add one more bot to the CT team on the server console, a message is shown that the team be full.
I did not find any difference between the gamemode_casual cfg file and the gamemode_competitive file.

Does anyone have a clue why this phenomenon is shown?

Best regards,

I could not find any options in the game to turn it off.

I don't know why, but apparently no one has reported such a problem on internet.
I changed the resolution of the game, no matter what, I will have the blue circle on the right of the screen.

I am using Alienware 13 R3.

texts: Are season passes no longer downloaded on Xbox One?

texts:
Previously, for instance for Battlefield 4, you had to download the season pass for the game to recognise your rights to the extra dlc's.

For both Fallout 4 and The Division (which arguably hasn't come out yet) I bought the big packages that included the season pass.

I can see the season pass in the store for both the games, but it won't download, but the rest of the miniature dlc's for the games are installed.

If I select the season pass for Fallout 4 and pick "Administrate", an empty page comes up, save for my profile info top left. For the Division season pass (again, I know it hasn't been released yet) there isn't even an "Administrate" option.

Are season passes no longer required to be downloaded on Xbox One? Is there some known information about this?

I know there isn't any content that has been released for those with the season pass yet but I'd rather find out that there is a problem now than the day the content is dropped.

Are bonuses of this nature actually worthwhile in any way? I don't see how 9 extra damage endgame is going to matter. (Exceptions made for the magic resist and cooldown reduction versions of these bonuses as their endgame final addup is easily viewed as worthwhile)

I want him to continue his plot to kill the count.
How can I do that?

If the downloadable content needs to be purchased separately, is it automatically installed when the Xbox One downloads the image for the 360 title from its servers?

  Can I transfer saved game files from my PC to my Xbox360?

Having not yet played Mass Effect 1 or 2 I plan on purchasing them before jumping into Mass Effect 3. What platform I purchase a game for is larger dependent on where I'll be spending my time in the immediate future. For instance right now I'd probably buy Mass Effect 1 for the PC. A few months from now when I'm ready to jump into Mass Effect 2 I might purchase it for the Xbox 360.

Which brings me to my question can Mass Effect save games be imported between platforms? PC to console? Or even console to PC?

texts: /entitydata command + armor stands . How do I do it properly?

texts:
I want to make armor stand animations. My original idea which looked messy was to kill a configured armor stand and summon an armor stand with different hand positions for example. Instead, I thought it would look cleaner by using the /entitydata tag to alter its

RightArm:[2f,0f,0f]

tag, and then using

execute @e[name=TS-19] ~ ~ ~ /tp ~0.05 ~ ~

The entity data does not work. Might this be because I have to print the whole body rotation (e.g adding all of the limbs rotations) for it to work?

Why won't this work, and how do I fix it?

texts: Will Alistair agree to marry Anora even if he is not hardened?

texts:
I am trying to get Alistair and Anora to marry each other and let Loghain live at the landsmeet. So before the landsmeet began, I talked to Alistair and he agreed to marry Anora. Anora likewise agreed to marry Alistair.

However, when push comes to shove, he backs out after I say that I want to induct Loghain into the Gray Wardens, no matter what I do.

The trouble is, I don't remember if I hardened him or not (I played this game a few years ago and stopped playing when my system broke until recently).

So the question is, will he AGREE  to marry in the first place if he's not hardened (going through with the marriage is a separate issue)? All the guides I've seen mention that he must be hardened to get the ending, but they don't mention this question.

texts: The carriage won't take me even when I'm naked, what do I need to do?

texts:
I was at Winterhelm and encumbered. I figured that the carriage had to be quicker so I hired the thing and paid my 20 gold. Guy said hop aboard so I did.  The guy then said ok I am ready when you are.

Now there was no option I could see to talk to the guy anymore but there was the E to use carriage.  I clicked that and my character got off the cart.  Clicked E and it got back on but that was it.  Spoke to the guy and nothing obvious.

Then I had the brilliant idea the developers didn't want you to bypass weight and that if encumbered you were stuck so I save, got buck naked and still nada. So, what do I need to do to get the carriage to actually get me to a destination?

texts:
I downloaded Clash of Clans to my iPad (iOS 7) this past weekend and started playing.

Of course, after a couple of hours I realized I made some newbie mistakes that are fatal to my future success.  I wanted to restart, but it seems the only way to do so is to reset the device which I really would like to avoid.

After some Googling I tried the option of logging out of Game Center and logging in with a different Apple ID.  But, sadly, CoC re-launched back into the existing game.

Is there any way I can start over? Or at least start a new game under a different account on the same device?

Also, how was SethBling able to do this (you'll see it at around 1:00), the Daylight Sensor has a solid block (red wool) above it:

Could someone please come up with a list of blocks that daylight sensors can be placed under, and still detect sunlight? Please note if they decrease the light level as well.

texts: summoned falling_block banner is invisible?

texts:
I'm trying to summon a dynamic block that looks like a banner. This:

/summon falling_block ~ ~ ~ {Block:standing_banner,Time:1,NoGravity:1}

summons a falling block alright, but it's invisible. I can tell it's there by the shadow, but it doesn't drop an item when it despawns (which is weird, considering that I haven't touched the DropItem tag.) Using Block:wall_banner does exactly the same thing, and using an invalid block id fails to summon anything. If I omit the NoGravity tag, the entity is still invisible until it hits the ground and becomes a block.

This command:

/summon falling_block ~ ~ ~ {Block:hopper,Time:1,NoGravity:1}

summons a perfectly visible falling block that looks like a hopper and drops as an item when it despawns. They're both data holder blocks, so I have to think it's something specific to banners that makes this happen. Anyone have any thoughts as to what that might be, or how to get around it?

That's all the locations I know. Is there a list somewhere of them all?

This should probably be community wiki.

texts: How can I select a single bit out of an array of latches?

texts:
Let's say I have 4 latches, each representing a bit:

I want to be able to see the value stored at a specific bit. I specify which bit I want to look at by entering a binary number via. switches:

So if I were to enter (0, 0), it would output the value stored at the leftmost bit. If I were to enter (0, 1), it would output the value stored at the bit 2nd to the left, and so on, up to (1, 1), which would output the rightmost bit.

How would I do this? Could you point me to a tutorial or answer yourself? I have been looking for a week now, but I have not really been sure what I should search.

Also, I understand that Arqade might not be the best place to ask this question. If you feel that way could you please suggest a better place to ask? Thank you!

PS. To those of you who understand programming, think of it as I would like to do this:
output = latches[input];

texts: Where are Minecraft: Education Edition files stored?

texts:
We all know where Minecraft: Java Edition files are stored (Windows 10):
C:\Users\ExpertCoder14\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves

It's a little harder to find, but Bedrock Edition players can find their world saves here:
C:\Users\ExpertCoder14\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds

Surprisingly, there is no documentation online found on where files are stored for Minecraft: Education Edition.
I would expect, since MCEE is based off of MCBE, the files are stored as another folder in Packages:
C:\Users\ExpertCoder14\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftEducationEdition

or something of the like.
But I don't see an extra folder for MCEE there.
If not there, then where?

texts: Which is the best way to level up a Pokemon?

texts:
At the moment I am using this strategy:

Pokemon as the first in party (engaging in all fights, even when I need to switch for a more powerful/better suited Pokemon).
Exp.Share equipped.
Fighting the Elite Four + Champion (30 Pokemon with range of 7x)

This strategy works great when I am leveling a low level Pokemon. I tested with Sawk level 18, and he finished at level 82 after one pass (all 5 trainers).

But with Ho-Oh 82 I only got to level 87 (I was expecting 89 or 90). I know that the amount of experience is different, but am I doing it right?

Should I go full fights with a high level Pokemon (even with
disadvantage elements)?
Should I use Lucky Egg instead of Exp.Share?
Should I use some other method?

How can I improve my technique?

Tossing grenades at my own crew almost works; The crew takes a little bit of damage and the blue shirts get a little xp, but not as much as the engineers get from repairing the ship damage from the same grenade!

Problem
I got a new mouse. It has some extra buttons on the side, so I was thinking, how can I make this left click? Much to my dismay, mouse (a RedDragon Nirvana) has no software. My first idea was to use a program to switch the side button to the left button. After some research (about 30 minutes), I found xbindkeys. I had a lot of trouble setting this up, and after 1 hour of trial and error and some help from my friend, I managed to switch it. All is well? Not quite. This doesn't work with Minecraft because (unfortunately) Minecraft doesn't use X. I downloaded an autoclicker (not to be used on multiplayer) and bound it to the extra button (button 9). This does only really fast clicking, not one click, and even then, it is toggling, not oneclick.
Summary
I would like a Minecraft mod that allows for making click macros... It should click whenever I press the desired button (button 9), and not be bannable on servers (hypixel, antiac, etc.). Any ideas would be much appreciated!
EDIT
I think, if I could get Minecraft to register input from xbindkeys or a similar application, it would work like a charm. I'd simply make button 9 trigger xte mouseclick 1 or xdotool click 1.
EDIT EDIT
I am using Unix with a 64 bit architecture. As you can tell from the tags, I have Minecraft Java edition installed.

texts: Where on the body are coordinates taken from?

texts:
When using the GPS in Terraria your position in the world is displayed on the screen. However, it is unclear which point of the character’s body the coordinates are taken from.

Looking on the wiki page for the GPS yields no result, as the coordinates system isn’t even mentioned there.

Going to the far edges of a large world give X-coordinates of 8316’ West and 8314’ East, which suggests the X-coordinate is taken from the left hand side of the hit box. But, I still am no closer to knowing where the Y-coordinate is taken from.

texts: Do gamepads always deteriorate from extended disuse and is there anything to be done about it?

texts:
I've owned two USB gamepads for PC now. The first was some noname pad I got really cheap in a supermarket. The second was (and is) Logitech Rumblepad 2. In both cases I've had the same problem: When I first bought the gamepad I played with it and for a while all was well. Then I moved on to other games and the gamepad was put away in a drawer. After a year or two I came again upon a game which played better on the gamepad. But now the joysticks seem to have heavily deteriorated. They are wildly inaccurate and sometimes even jump around randomly without any action from myself. Calibration makes things a bit better, but it can do only so much to compensate, and the end result is still unsatisfactory.

Is this inevitable? Are gamepads supposed to be changed every two years? Or perhaps I should have stored them in some special way? Is there anything that can be done now perhaps?

I started a SkyBlock on MineCraft Windows 10 edition and built a mob trap. It is just a basic canal design, but for some reason, it is not working properly. it sometimes works slowly when I'm far away from it, but when I'm standing right by it, it won't work at all. I've tried making it 24-45 blocks high.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with It? I really need some bones.

texts: Do the parts of exploration achievements for each act reset between logins if you haven't completed them?

texts:
On my second time logging in to play (first play-through), on the quest to kill the skeleton king, I decided to also pick up the Act 1 exploration achievements, like A Nice Place to Visit and Thorough Investigation.

I discovered that I hadn't received credit for any of the sections of A Nice Place to Visit, most of which I had clearly already passed through, but was forced to revisit.

Do these sub-sections of exploration achievements get wiped, if you haven't completed the full achievement, when the maps are regenerated on login?


texts:
In EVE online there is a role called 'Trader' - which allows you to buy and sell items on behalf of your corporation. I have this role on my character, but whenever I try and sell an item from a corporate hangar at one of our offices, I only have the option to sell the item on behalf of myself.

Have I misunderstood the purpose of this option? Ideally I'd like to be able to list items on the market, but then once these items have sold I'd like the payment to be provided straight to the corporation wallet, rather than to my character.

Is this possible within EVE online?  How can I sell an item on behalf of my corporation?


texts: How do I get rid of a guard stuck by the door without killing him or taking him down?

texts:
I'm currently doing the last mission for Vittori, where I have to rescue someone. Playing on Master difficulty

It didn't take long for me to reach a room with a safe and a guard standing right in front of it. In order to loot the safe, I distracted the guard, but maybe I exaggerated a bit, since he freaked out, opened the door to call his friends, and has remained stuck there ever since.
When they gave up looking for me, I saved out of reflex. I regret that now...

Since I'm going for the Moral Victory trophy, I don't want to kill or knock out that guard, but no matter what I do (running and throwing bottles around) he won't move away from that door, which also seems to be the only way to proceed in that particular level, as I haven't found any ventilation shafts so far. From time to time, I even produce enough noise for his colleagues next door to come investigate too.

In the end, I even tried running right past the guard (screw remaining undetected), but I can't run past him; he is effectively blocking my way.

It seems like the only way to make him move, is by attacking him (after he detects me, so I won't take him down), but I quickly get surrounded by 5 guards and die before I can make that one guard move enough for me to get past that door.

It doesn't look like I can restart the mission either, so what can I do?

How do you go about unlocking some of the seemingly more obscure dogtags in BF3?
Specifically:
Dog Tag Name - Description

6 Wolf Moon - No one likes a lone wolf
Bye Kitty - Scratched during the long lonely hours on watch
Road - Highly irregular, but amusing
Pile O Bones - Are all these even from the same person?
Opener - Indespensable equipment for excursions
Ace of Spades: You win some, you lose some
Bringer of Death: Because that's what you are
Cause of Death - Fishy abbreviation (be something to do with Call of Duty probably)

texts: Does stealing via "Mug" also count towards the Talent for Acquisition trophy?

texts:
I'm playing the FFX Remaster for PS4 and was looking through the trophies when I came across this one:

  A Talent for Acquisition - Steal successfully with Rikku 200 times.

Can this be unlocked via the ability, Mug (Steal ability + damage), or does it have to be the actual Steal ability?

After a quick Google on the matter, I found a forum thread about an (unrelated) issue with this trophy. The last post in the thread claimed you could use either but had no evidence backing this claim, so I don't really want to take this as gospel.

The FF wiki page only lists the trophy name, picture and description.

I plan on buying a gaming PC as I expect to be able to get it around a year and I currently have a laptop that I play (a pirated version of) minecraft. I heard that minecraft broke out off of the "cringe culture", which convinced me to finally buy it (for now) and later buy the gaming PC, but...

The thing I'm wondering about is, if I buy minecraft on a laptop, will I be able to avoid the whole buying part when I'll get a gaming PC in the future?

Just want to know if I just need to re-download minecraft and log-in on my mojang account or (in the worst case) re-purchase minecraft and log-in on my mojang account...


texts: What is the ideal setup for multiple Steam accounts on one computer, including guests?

texts:
I live in a house with multiple gamers. We are considering installing Steam on our HTPC and using it like a sort of gaming console. There are a few ways to approach this, and none of them seem ideal.

Steam installs games into a user's home directory. This means that if I have two different OS-level users, many games will get installed twice, which is a waste of a lot of hard drive space.

However, if we share an OS-user and just log into Steam with our different profiles, then I expect some problems with saved games and such.

Either way, houseguests will have to log into Steam with our accounts (which is a TOS violation, I think?) to play our games.

How do others in this situation solve this conundrum?

Does the answer to these questions change depending on the base OS being Windows or Linux or OSX?

I'm keeping this room for later. All it contains is a full potion of magic.

  Note. I escaped the left half of 1F E4 through the magic mirror, as I couldn't find any other way out.

  Errata corrige: point 2 is in the middle of B1F C3, not C4 as I have mistakenly drawn.

I don't have any key. I imagine 2 holds the big key, but without a key to open that yellow passage I can't get there. I checked every room at least twice. Where did I miss out?

texts: Do installs of multiple-disc games to the hard drive still require you to change the disc?

texts:
On the Xbox 360, along with the option to install games to the hard drive, you can also apparently install multiple-disc games to the hard drive, but I haven't tried this.

For instance, L.A. Noire and Rage have 3 discs, and Dead Space 2 has 2 discs.

I know you have to have a disc in the drive to start an installed game. If I install all discs to the drive, will I still have to switch out discs when the game gets to the portion requiring a new disc, despite the fact that they are all installed?


texts: How should I set up my network and port forwarding to be able to host Halo PC multiplayer games?

texts:
I've never been able to host a public multiplayer game in Halo PC - whenever I try to, it never appears in the games list and other players can't connect to my game, even by inputting a direct IP. I think this is related to my network and port forwarding.

When I start a public internet game, I see a local IP in the IP box. This tells me that some ports aren't being forwarded. What ports do I need to forward to be able to host such games?

Also, the IP box isn't modifyable. After I forward the necessary ports, how do I change the local IP that is currently in the box to my public IP?

texts: Is there a way to quickly find a server with many players on VOIP?

texts:
I recently bought a new pair of PS3 headphones and wanted to test VOIP yesterday, but to my frustration it was almost impossible to find a server with players using it. On some servers there were 1-2 players with the speaker icon, but they don't speak. I found only one server where everyone (!) was speaking... but in Estonian, or some other weird language - I couldn't even tell which one it was.

So my question is, is there any quick way to find a server with English speaking players using VOIP? Maybe some web site listing?


texts:
I was able to beat the Normal difficulty reasonably easy with a strategy similar to this:

Unfortunately, the Hard difficulty is considerably more difficult - in fact, I cannot even pass the first wave!

I looked for a walk-through to give me some pointers, and I found this. This strategy seems to work in the video, but is woefully inadequate during my attempts. I'm not sure, but I think that there may be differences in versions of the game. If it does matter, I am playing the version here.

What is a good strategy and layout to beat the first (and hopefully subsequent) waves on the Hard difficulty?

I would like to be able to log my home account in as a user on the work machine without granting access to my credit card to all users.

Is there a way to password protect my user account?


texts: I've seen videos of people making printers in Minecraft - but that requires either preloading unending chains of piston-pushed blocks "as ink" or some way of dispensing them from storage in form of built blocks. I was sure so farm that Dispenser "builds" a buildable block like cobblestone if fed that, but I was sorely disappointed - it drops them as pickable entities. Is the any way to automatically place blocks, without mods, or with some simple mods?


texts: Which powers are affected by increased "Restoration and Defense"?

texts:
There's a modifier that shows up on perks and profiles that improves "Restoration and Defense". For example, the Explorer profile gives

  +15% Power Restoration and Defense

And the Engineer profile gives

  20% Tech Restoration and Defense

That's completely unclear. I tried to figure out what it does. According to the gosunoob article Mass Effect Andromeda stats – what do they mean and do?, it has this effect:

  Your healing and buffs, including protective powers (Backlash) are affected by this stat.

It's still not clear to me what exactly it does, or which powers it affects.

I assume that the Explorer buff affects eligible Combat, Tech, and Biotic powers, and that the Engineer one only affects eligible Tech powers, but which powers are even eligible, and exactly how are they affected?

texts: Do different armor types have inherent properties?

texts:
I'm still in the early levels of the game, so maybe the difference just isn't noticeable yet, but it appears that heavy armor doesn't slow you down in any way. However, one of the early NPCs says something to the effect of "leather armor doesn't protect as well as heavy armor, but it lets you get in close quickly to slice a throat".

Is this just a quote to give it some flavor, or does heavier armor actually slow you down relative to lighter armors? From what I've seen so far, the only real difference is that robes tend to have mana bonuses, lighter armor tends to have crit bonuses, and heavy armor tends to have block bonuses, as clearly illustrated in the item's stats.

More generally speaking, are there any "hidden" properties of robes vs light armor vs heavy armor other than the stats you see specifically on the item?

texts:
Me and my friend have recently built ilmango his mob farm.
Now I have tested this mob farm in my single player world and it spawned a ton of mobs as promised. Now the thing is we built this mob farm on a Realm.
I started thinking it maybe had to do something with the fact it is on a Realm? We used the exact same dimensions as ilmango and we have the same y levels etc.

So yeah, we play on a Minecraft realm.

Version: 1.14.3

The difficulty is set to Normal, maybe this has something to do with the rates aswell?

This is a staircase we built of glass, that we built to the afk spot as seen in il mango his video.

texts: How is Precision used to calculate critical chance?

texts:
I am very confused by the Precision attribute. On the Guild Wars 2 wiki it says:

  Precision is an offensive character attribute. Attribute points put into precision increase the chance of a critical hit for the character. Many of the conditional effects of a skill or trait trigger on a critical hit.

What confuses me is, how critical strike is calculated from precision. I had previously had 47% chance to critically strike (when I was about lvl 40). I am now lvl 60 and when I looked it says I only have 40% critical chance. I know for a fact that I have way more points of precision now than when I had 47% critical chance.

The only reason for this that I can think of is that the equation to calculate critical chance from precision takes level in account. But I would appreciate if someone give a definitive answer on how critical strike is calculated.

texts:
let me start by saying that I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, and that it's potentially geographically specific, which could make it prone to be closed; but hopefully, enough people is having my same problem and can get help from this.

Back to my question. The problem is that I have an AT&T U-Verse internet connection, 12Mbps download, 1.5Mbps upload, I live in San Diego, CA; and 95% of the games I run into I get 3 bars of latency quality. I know a lot of you will say that it's not bad, but it is, every time I face someone in a gun fight, my first 2 bullets never hit them. And this is seriously impacting my KDR, so it's beginning to frustrate me. I tested in speedtest.net, and my ping is around 50 ~ 70ms in a server in Los Angeles, CA; 200 miles away from here.

Just wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this and if you know a solution or the source of the problem.

I'm thinking of upgrading to 24Mbps DL and 3Mbps UL, but I just wan't to be sure there's nothing else I can do before I try that.

I made the question specific to Black Ops because in Modern Warfare 2 I would always get 4 bars and get host most of the time. Which rarely happens in Black Ops.

Thanks!


texts: Zombie Head Common or Rare Classification?

texts:
I want to know if I have to hit the zombie as a player for the head to drop, or if I can just build a mob dropper and pick them up.

The only mention of the zombie head from the wiki is by electrified creeper explosion in the common section.

The wither skeleton drop is defined as a rare only on the zombie head wiki page, but there is no definition of whether a player needs to hit the zombie for the head to drop.

Is there some official page, or in game code that defines whether the zombie needs to be hit for the head to drop?

Short of restarting the game, is there a way for us to get back to World 1?


texts:
The HRE asked me to join in their war. I refused and then looked at who they were attacking and I noticed there were trying to claim an independent county somewhere in the Alps (forget the name). So I thought, why not. I found a claimant for the county, invited him to court, gave him a spare city I had and declared war on the same county myself. This made HRE hostile to me because of conflicting wargoals. Fair enough. We ended up fighting each other instead of the county (I eventually snuck one stack in to seige the county and used another to run interference and stop HRE from doing the same).

Later, I noticed BE was waging a holy war against an independent pagan country somewhere around Hungry. So, again, I thought why not and declared my own holy war against the same. But in this case, BE did not become hostile and we both laid siege to the same county (BE occupied 2 of 4 holdings, I took the other 2, but BE ended up winning the war - they had a head start).

So why did I get the hostile due to conflicting war goals in the first case, but not in the second? How can I tell when being opportunist and trying to declare war on a county already at war if I'm going to set off a massive conflict with another neighbor?

texts: On defense, can I place the camera directly behind me?

texts:
I'm playing on PS4.

The "change view/camera" button is supposed to be up and down on the D-pad. On offense, this is no problem, the camera is always directly behind you so it zooms fine.

But on defense the camera is (to my knowledge, by default unless I screwed something up setting up the game initially) still centered behind the offense. I can still use the up/down buttons to change camera. It zooms like it originally did on offense (as intended, no issue here). I can also get it to swing around to focus behind my selected player at an angle, but I find the angle pretty awkward and not-so-easy to play with.

I had played this about a year(?) ago and I'm almost positive you could center the camera directly behind your player on the defensive side (or maybe even the defense as a whole, similar to the offense camera, but opposite). Am I missing something or simply remembering it wrong?

The same desired camera view I'm looking for is what is used during the training/drills for defense (such as strafing/tackling drills). It seems odd they would allow you to train with one camera view, and have you play with another...


texts: From what I understand, roads are only used between garages or buildings that have a parking entrance.  Is there a benefit to connecting other buildings with roads?  Can citizens get "dropped off" at their job even if it doesn't have its own parking entrnace?  If so, do they have to then walk to the nearest garage to get home (or elsewhere)?


texts: How do orders work in the iFruit App for Los Santos Customs?

texts:
I have just ordered my first upgrades via the iFruit App to my online car.

Roughly how long does this take to apply to my in-game content?

Do I have to take money out of my bank to pay for this or will it be auto-withdrawn?

Do these items automatically apply to my car or do I need to take the car to Los Santos Customs?  (or do I need to reload?)

It said that the order has been sent, but is there any record of this order in my iFruit App?

On my way back to Ranger Citadel from the AG Center, I was told to go to the Infected Farm, so I did. I killed all the enemies, looted all the loot, and whispered all the cattle. The only object I seem to be able to interact with at this point is the water resevoir, seen below:

But, whenever I try to Use it, the text panel just prints:

  Looks like you can pour fluid into the resevoir through the intake valve on its left side. From there it should get pumped throughout the entire area.

My only other option is to Examine, which prints:

  There's a small valve on the left side of this fertilizer resevoir.

There's no valve that I can find to interact with, which I think I confirmed by opening the skill wheel and it can only cycle through one object, the resevoir.

How do you complete this area? I can't tell if this is a bug, or if I'm missing an inventory item, or if I've done things in the wrong order. I saved Highpool, if that matters, but I just cleaned out the AG Center as well, which I believe is what triggered the Infected Farm being revealed on my map the next time I entered the wasteland.

I have several backups of my Minecraft folder, all inside my roaming folder, named (in order) MinecraftOld1 MinecraftOld2 and so on. However, you are unable to rename a folder to .minecraft (or .anythinghere for that matter too), so how can I replace my .minecraft folder with one of my backups? Copying/pasting is not an option owing to the size of the backups I make (it will take around an hour to move it into the new folder, and surely there must be a quicker way to just rename the folder?)

Any alternatives that allow me to run the game from this backup folder are also welcomed.
