texts: How can I destroy the flag without falling to my death?

texts:
I'm now at a point where I can fight bigger ships without my ship ending up as bunch of floating scrap, but I'm having some trouble with destroying the flag on those ships.

I use the quick elevator thingy to get up to the top platform, but unfortunately there is a guy already standing there just waiting for me. And when that guy gets lucky he hits me once and I fall down onto the ship without having a chance to defend against this.

Any tricks on capturing that flag without falling to my death?

texts:
Once you get close enough to the rainbow flower time, you get to see a dev ghost performing the dev time as you play. Once you beat the rainbow flower time, the dev ghost stops appearing. This can be annoying if you want to watch the ghosts again, or if you beat a dev time without ever seeing the dev ghost.

Is there any way to get the dev ghosts back, besides wiping your save or something?

In the XBLA port of Spelunky, there is a Camera item in some shops. The journal doesn't say anything much about it. It didn't seem to have any effect on the enemies I used it on, though it does stun damsels and I've heard it enrages shopkeepers.

Does this item have any useful purpose?


texts:
I brought the tower of time adventure pack for Skylanders Swap Force, and used it on my game. My friend didn't have the pack but wanted to play the extra level so I lent it to them, assuming it would be like previous adventure packs where you could use them as many times and on as many consoles as you want.

However, when he put it on his portal it didn't do anything, no error message, no cut scene, it didn't even register in his collection. I have looked online for a solution but I can't find anyone who has actually lent it to a friend, so I have no idea if the cheat of just lending figures to friends still works, or whether once the tower of time has registered on one console it can never be used again.

Has anyone lent it to someone else, and did it work on their console?

texts: What causes the Summon command to appear?

texts:
After playing over 40 hours of FFXV, I've been able to summon probably around 10 times. Many times it's during boss fights, but not always. Is there some criteria that has to be met for the ability to summon one of the Six to appear? Or is it just random/luck?

For clarification, I'm not asking what determines which of the Six will appear, I'm asking what influences whether or not I'll get the prompt to summon, period.


texts: How do I fix the error "Connection Failed After 4 Retries"?

texts:
I am trying to make a Gmod server, and believe I have everything set up correctly. I am using SteamCMD. I port forwarded all TDP/UDP between 27000 and 27050. I also port forwarded these ports in my firewall.

texts: What are the different techniques I can use to get past the man-eating plants?

texts:
What are the different techniques I can use to get past the man-eating plants, if I have no choice but to go near their attack range? Or if I want to get an experience orb or vial that is in their path?

I know that Zoya's (the Thief) 'Stealth Movement' skill and Pontius' (the Knight) 'Charge' skill can be used to get through without being caught, even if you are going near the plants' attack range. Are there techniques that don't require the use of special skills? What about other special skills that can be used to get past them? (Getting past can also mean distracting the plants, so that they don't try to catch you, when you get near them.)

texts:
Okay, so I've looked online and I haven't really found anything that answers this question, which I found kind of surprising...

Essentially, I have a full team of 6 pokemon, all fully trained through Super Training (i.e. they can't get anymore EV's or 'Base Stats' from Super Training). Does this mean that they no longer acquire EV's from battle and I don't have to worry about my pokemon getting unwanted EV's, or will using the Exp. Share still botch their growth?

TL;DR: I have 6 pokemon fully Super Trained, so can I safely use the Exp. Share without worrying about them getting the wrong EV's in battle?

I believe that at some point in the Subway Surfers, while running, you reach a maximum speed. Things will no longer come at you with increased speed. Is there a certain amount of time or a certain score where this happens at? Does it even happen at all?

I find the game getting boring at ~500-600K score, because it doesn't seem to get any harder. Hence the reason why I am asking the following:

Does anyone know if and at what point in time/at what score this top-speed is reached?

texts:
I have started playing The Legend of Zelda: Mystery of Solarus DX, based on the free GPL Solarus game engine (not sure how this relates to other Zelda versions).

I am now stuck with something that assume should be quite basic but I have not figured out; how to move or remove the eight sided blocks that lie as obstacles several places.

There is one inside the house next to the very starting point of the game, blocking access to a chest, which to me indicates that this is something that is considered relatively basic, but hitting with the sword or throwing a vase at it makes no difference, and trying to push it does not work.

Such blocks are spread out several places and until now I have just explored the parts I can access without solving this issue, but now when exploring the last unexplored dungeon there is one chest behind three such blocks which I am pretty sure contains a key needed to advance, and thus I am stuck.

So how to move past such blocks?


texts: Transfer Minecraft world from legacy console to bedrock on PS4

On PS4, the Legacy Console Edition of Minecraft still exists for people who owned it before Bedrock came out, you can launch it from a button on the Bedrock title screen.
In Legacy Console edition it says your worlds are accessible to transferred into the new Bedrock edition, but I can't figure out how to do so.
I know that the ability to transfer worlds from Legacy PS3 edition to Legacy PS4 edition was removed in April 2020. But none of those sources mention the Legacy PS4 -> Bedrock PS4 path being removed, so it should still be available?


texts: What purpose does Ancient Watcher serve?

texts:
Ancient Watcher is a 2 mana 4/5 minion that can't attack.

I recently faced one in an Arena game and just let him sitting there until he randomly died to accumulated AoE damage. He seems to be a totally useless card.
Yet I heard of a deck (Watcher Druid) that actually uses him competitively and have seen him being talked about a lot. That got me wondering how people make use of him.

I could only think of 2 things that might make sense, namely Silencing him (but why would you "waste" a precious and rare silence on him?) and giving him Taunt.

Is there any other use to Ancient Watcher or is he really only useful as a cheap and valuable target for a Taunt buff?


texts: In Wii Fit Plus, can I see the highscore for a game without playing it?

texts:
Whenever I want to check the highscores for a particular minigame (or exercise), my only option so far seems to be to play that game (or exercise), which is quite tedious. At some games, I can just fail right away to see the highscores, but at others, even intentionally failing can take a minute or so (and exercises take their time no matter what).

Am I missing something here?

The menus are not exactly intuitive at times, I discovered a number of features and options only by accident, after having played Wii Fit Plus for weeks without noticing them. I really hope a "view highscores" button is somewhere right in my face as well, and I just overlooked it all the time.


texts:
When I bought Borderlands 2 on Steam, I bought just the standard edition. I little later on I purchased the season pass, and everything was totally fine.

During the summer sale, I bought the rest of the DLC that the season pass didn't get me. I went to try to load my character and the game gets stuck on the loading screen forever. Literally forever. It never stops. The only thing that has changes is the new DLC.

When i right clicked and checked the DLC that I had for the game, I had multiples of some of them.

I have "Collector's Edition" and "Collector's Edition Pack", which I assume are the same thing.
I have "Creature Dome" and "Creature Slaughterdome", which also must be the same thing.
And I have 2 Ultimate vault Hunter Upgrades.

I tried disabling all DLC, reinstalling the game, and verifying the game cache.

When I verify the game cache it says one file failed to validate and will be reacquired. But is doesn't seem to reacquire it since it says this every time.

Any ideas how I could have multiple of the same DLCs? And what is wrong with the game?

texts:
I'm attempting to use /loot to give myself fishing loot, which should be fairly easy. I'm using this command;

I tried to remove mainhand since the argument for it is optional anyway, but it still returns the same error. As far as I can tell, the syntax is correct; I'm supposedly giving myself the treasure loot table from the coordinates listed. Is there some bug with /loot give right now?

texts: Do the new ribbons (Gun Master, Tank Superiority, and Domination) count toward Decorated?

texts:
I haven't yet unlocked the "Decorated" achievement for Battlefield 3 on the Xbox 360.

Description:

  Obtain one of each ribbon in the game

This achievement was part of the original game.  The Armored Kill (September) update has added 3 new ribbons to the awards section of Battlelog, one each for winning a round of Gun Master, Conquest Domination and Tank Superiority.  This bring the total number of unique ribbons up from 45 to 48.

Do I now need to win the 3 new ribbons in addition to the remaining ribbons from the original game to unlock the achievement, or is it based solely on the original 45 ribbons?


texts: Where to spend chronoboost once you saturated with probes?

texts:
Usually, during early game I spend Chronoboost on probes, warpgate research, upgrades (attack, defence). In general, till 10th minute mark my Nexus's rarely have 100 energy.

In mid game, I don't chronoboost probes as much, and even though I still speed-up upgrades... and sometimes units - I don't use it in full.

Where should I spend chronobost in late game? I should not worry too much about it just build more guildings and keep pumping army?

Any advise is welcome!

Thank you.

I have uninstalled and redownloaded it, and have searched the web for a solution, but have came up empty-handed. I have found one video, except the person was not using a mac book, so the video was no help to me. It works perfectly fine on my sister's laptop, so I am giving up hope on mine.

texts:
I have downloaded minecraft.exe, and it opened as soon as it was done downloading,  my problem is, I see no way to open it again if I close out of it. (Also, my Operating System is Windows 10). I also cannot find it in my downloads folder, or anywhere it is like I never even had it. And, I did not delete it.

Yay! I fixed it! Come to find out I am an idiot, I did not click save while downloading! I just deleted the .exe and installed the regular one. (I tried the regular before but it did not work, so I thought I needed the .exe) Thanks for the suggestions! :)


texts: Should I have XP boosters from the DLC's already?

texts:
I just noticed something. I went to the "manage game" page and there was 3 items ready to install that I hadn't installed yet.

One of them was "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands: Dragon Pack".

This item has an icon that shows an "XP Booster" for 2 hours. After downloading this, should I now own one such booster?

I have none of those boosters but now I see that the Peruvian Connection pack should come with one, and a few of the other DLC packs also seems to indicate they should come with one.

Basically, given that I bought the biggest and baddest package on Xbox One, and have downloaded and installed everything, should I have one or more of those XP boosters? Because if I should, then I need to contact support and ask for help since I have none.

I just saw that the item has a description text as well:

  Get the exclusive "Dragon" gear patch to wear while you explore the Wildlands and unlock a 2 hour XP Booster to help you increase the amount of XP earned in the game.

So the question now probably is this: Did I get an automatic 2 hour XP boost, or should I have gotten one of those booster items I can opt to activate myself?

texts: Specific strategy for Order decks when playing the "Death from Above" trial

texts:
I don't have a lot of time, so I only get to play 1 or 2 rounds a day.  I'm curious, has anyone found an effective strategy agains the "easy" trial, Death from Above?

My problem is that the lobbers are to powerful to be taken out in the first few turns.  Furthermore, the pre-constructed order deck tends to have a lot of units that can't stand to many hits from the 3 lobbers that the opponent starts with.  So, after sacrificing a few scrolls for some resources and then finally getting a couple units on the board, they are destroyed before I can enhance them or they get a chance to attack.  If they do attack, some how my opponent manages to heal them.

It's a quick, vicious cycle and I can not beat this EASY trial!

I feel like I'm missing something.  If this is suppose to be "easy", what am I doing wrong.  FYI, I've found GrumpyCat's YouTube video on Order strategy.  It's helped me a lot with all my other trials and AI battles but this one trial has been painfully difficult.

Does anyone have any specific suggestions for Death from Above?

texts: How to change Wither Skeleton skull drop rates (1.9)

texts:
I'm aware that it is possible to change loot tables for mobs in Minecraft 1.9, making Ender Dragons drop an Elytra for example. This can be done either by creating a custom loot table or changing its entity data. For this example the command would be the following:

/entitydata @e[type=EnderDragon,tag=!hasTable] {ArmorDropChances:[0:1.1f,1:1.1f,2:1.1f,3:1.1f],ArmorItems:[0:{},1:{},2:{id:elytra,Count:1},3:{}],Tags:["hasTable"]}

Trying to play some old Windows 95 games on Windows 7 64-bit, I'm getting the following error:

  The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.

Trying to run the application in compatibility mode has no effect. I'm guessing these games somehow rely on 32-bit dlls which are missing from my system, and I would like to know if anyone else has encountered a similar problem and is able to give insight as to possible solutions or work-arounds.

Notes:

I've checked this question but it discusses system requirements and not actual application invocation.
The games in questions are Metal Marines and Fire Fight, but I'm sure many more might be affected.
The error message above is not game-specific, it comes directly from Windows itself.

texts: I've defeated Ghirahim and am just messing around before fighting Demise and am not in hero mode. While exploring Floria Waterfall, which has the entrance to the Ancient Cistern, I was dowsing for rupees and the beige statue farthest from the bird statue on that side kept making noise. It's the statue that's rectangular on bottom and has an oval on top. There are four in total, two near the bird statue and two on the other side near the ancient cistern entrance. I have used every item I have on the statues and nothing has extracted the rupees from either item. I also used the beetle the pick up those yellow things dangling from the trees and the only thing that popped out was what was in the yellow thing. Nothing from the statues but the dowsing keeps going crazy on the statues. I already got the gold rupee up top so it isn't that. Also, an eye of the frog head entrance to the cistern is dusty but nothing I do will clean it off and I can't get up there to blow it. Anyone do this or can help?


texts:
In Fire Emblem Awakening, I have recently come accross 2 weapons, whose description says:
Weak and ill suited for battle.

Namely, the Log and the Slack Bow and I believe there may be even more.

It wouldn't be the first time I've run accross weak weapons in the Fire Emblem games, but all "weak" weapons before those had some sort of benefit, such as extremely high accuracy or uses or could provoke status ailments (Poison).

I've been thinking about selling those weapons, but was unsure as to whether they may have some significance other than stats, or not.

This leads us to the question in my title:
Do the "weak and ill suited for battle" weapons have any hidden stats or bonuses?

Is there any way to restore it's de jure duchies to this title?

P.S. I apologize if this is a duplicate, I don't know the name of this mechanism so I was unable to search for an answer on google.

texts: How do I interpret the "Move" information for each Pokemon?

texts:
Each Pokemon you capture has two moves, listed on the profile displayed when you select them.  According to this question, one is a 'standard' and one is a 'special' attack, which requires charging before use.

However, I'm not clear on how to interpret the information the page tells me.  For example, here is a Golbat and an Oddish:

Presumably the ones with the blue lines are the specials, but what does the size and quantity of the blue lines indicate?  What about the number at the right hand side?


texts: Dungeon Defenders Local split screen 3 monitors

texts:
I want to play Dungeon Defenders local co-op with 2 friends (2 controllers, 1 keyboard). I currently have 3 extended monitors at 1920x1080 each and I can successfully group them with Eyefinity getting a total of 5760x1080 resolution.

The problem is, that when I set it to horizontal split screen from options, it still isn't horizontal. It should be one player after another but instead it's like this: http://www.bildites.lv/images/lsuaw6zx5oeucpgisz.jpg

Is there a way to manually set this? It seems that the game is perfectly capable of running like that and it's only a stupid setting that stands in the way.

texts: Can rockets be deflected multiple times?

texts:
Normally, without hesitation, as soon as a soldier launches a rocket my way, I (as a Pyro), (try to) deflect the rocket back at him.

As a Soldier, if ever there's a chance that one of my rockets will be deflected by a Pyro, I won't bother launching a rocket at him (I'll use the shotgun or rocket-launch his feet).

Now, today, I (as a Pyro) was up against a Soldier and a Pyro (the Pyro being in front). The Soldier launched a rocket at me, and, out of instinct, I didn't bother deflecting it, for fear of the Pyro in front of me deflecting it again. Is this a sensible thing to do? Could the Pyro have deflected my deflected rocket? Is there any limit to how many times a rocket can be deflected?

Long story short: Can rockets be deflected multiple times by Pyros? If so, then where does it end (could two Pyros keep deflecting the same rocket back and forth until one of them eventually runs out of ammo?)?


texts: Safe to play with random strangers in D3 seasons on console?

texts:
It's a "well know fact" that if you join random games in Diablo 3 on console you will invariably hit upon people with modded gear.

However, I do not know where this gear comes from. For instance, I've heard that the gear comes from modded Xbox 360 game saves.

Seasons was introduced to Diablo 3 on consoles this friday and with it comes a fresh start. As in, no existing gear, no existing paragon points, no nothing. You start fresh.

So my question is simple, but perhaps not easy to answer:

  Is it safe to join random strangers in a season when playing D3 on console? (in my specific case this would be Xbox One).

If the only source for modded gear is Xbox 360 hacked savedgames, then seasonal play would seem safe to me. If, on the other hand, it is possible to also hack Xbox One savegames, then I'm not so sure. I know the PC version of D3 runs the entire thing on servers, which makes it fairly impossible to hack anything but console D3 has never (to my knowledge) required this.

So I guess my question is really this: With seasons in D3 on Xbox One, is it possible to hack savegames to introduce +(whatever)%XP? Or is this thing a moot point now?

Please note one thing: I am not asking for your or anyone elses opinion. I am asking if anyone knows this. I have asked this question on facebook, on twitter, and a few other places and opinions are cheap. Facts are not. So if you think that it is safe, or that it isn't safe, that's really not an answer to this question. Whether you agree with this problem being something that needs to be solved/answered is not an answer either. I know that I don't have to spend all those 10k paragon points, but the fact that I have those points means I will be treated like an outcast.

Basically I am asking is if Blizzard solved the problem with modded gear for seasonal play.

So let me clarify what I asking about here.

I experienced back when Diablo 3 started on Xbox one that I joined a game with 3 others in it, and within seconds of me joining I had 10k paragon points. They had a xp boost item that gave them billions and trillions of XP during combat and some XP is shared when playing together. As such my paragon skyrocketed before I could react and before I could even leave the main town.

This too happened not because I had such a modded item, but because I joined a party where people had this type of item equipped.

So, in Diablo 3 on console and in seasons, as was recently released, I assume that there may be two ways for any player to get hold of such a modded item.

There is a way to hack current savegames and introduce new modded items on Xbox One
The source of all such modded items are the older Xbox 360 and basically a savegame that has been migrated to the new platform, which you can (could?)

If the latter, then any such items a person might have would be locked outside the season, but if there is still a way to hack savegames, then this may still be a problem even in seasons on consoles.

If the only source of these items was from old hacked 360 games, then these would not be possible to bring into a seasonable character and thus be safe.

texts: How would I setblock multiple command blocks in a row that have commands in them?

texts:
I want to have a command block that uses the setblock command (or any command that will work, but I'm new to command blocks and setblock is what  I know) to place another command block that will also setblock a command block with a command that will yet again setblock a command block with a command and so on. In the end I want to setblock 4 command blocks.
In my testing this is what I've been doing:
Command block 1: /setblock x y z command_block{Command:"setblock x y z command_block{Command:'setblock command_block{Command:setblock x y z command_block{Command:'setblock x y z command_block{Command:time set day'}'}'}'}"} --This is accepted as a valid command
Command block 2: setblock x y z command_block{Command:'setblock command_block{Command:setblock x y z command_block{Command:'setblock x y z command_block{Command:time set day'}'}'}'} --This is not accepted as a valid command, and thus the setblock chain ends there.
What am I doing wrong? Is what I'm attempting even possible?


texts: Is there any pattern to the Butcher's chain attack?

texts: We're on Inferno and getting absolutely torn up by his spread chain attack. (We've tried it as solo Wizard, solo Demon Hunter, and as a pair together.) There seems to be little pattern to when he uses it, and its random damage has hit for upwards of 40k at times, enough to one-shot. Even with 2400 armor and some extra physical resistance, I'm taking enough to survive with less than 3000. Is the only solution to stack more armor and vitality, or are we missing a tell?


texts: Are toughness and healing values switched between player and follower in the display?

texts:
On console, below the equipment ring, there are three symbols with values (and please read the whole question before jumping to conclusions here).

Sword (DPS)
Shield
Two plus signs

On my own character, at level 34, the values are 3177, 18.8k and 285 respectively. I would understand this to be dps (that I'm sure of), toughness, and healing.

The reason I'm asking is that when I move over to my follower, the exact same symbols have these values:

Sword: 398
Shield: 498
Two plus'es: 13.7k

In other words, if the shield signifies toughness, then I have 18.8k and my follower 498? Or if the two plus'es signify toughness (unlikely if you ask me) do I really have only 285 toughness?

So, is this a bug in the display, follower and own character shield/plus values are switched?

Or does my follower really have 13.7k healing?

This is the Templar by the way.

Or have I gotten the icons completely wrong to begin with (except DPS)?

Here's some more hard numbers, my own Wizard (now level 37):

Sword: 3995
Shield: 26.5k
Plus'es: 353
Strength: 65
Dexterity: 66
Intelligence: 1670
Vitality: 804

Templar:

Sword: 579
Shield: 767
Plus'es: 20.7k
Strength: 468
Dexterity: 45
Intelligence: 362
Vitality: 1576
Skills: Heal (heal 4402), Loyalty (+147 regen/sec), Charge, Inspire (resource regen)

texts: How do I use the Shop Mart shopping cart?

texts:
On a couple of my attempts to survive, I've run across the Shop Mart shopping cart, and I just cant figure out how to use it. The Wikia entry for this item claims it is a vehicle that provides a 16x16 storage area "when used" from the vehicle screen. Although I am most likely missing something quite obvious, I cannot find any way to actually do this.

Dragging it onto various locations on the paper-doll yield no results, and various amounts of clicking and/or dragging on any other screen (vehicle or otherwise) have resulted in a similar amount of nothing. I'm hesitant to try placing any of my items into the cart, as this question demonstrates that that items can only be retrieved from containers by equipping them - which is something you cannot do with the cart.

So, any tips on how to turn this item into a working vehicle?

For the kick 3x part, I've tried using the left trigger because it does all three at the same time, and I've tried tapping each one 3x. Neither way works.

texts: How do "on hit" effects work with channeled / DoT skills?

texts:
How do "on hit" effects, such as +life on hit or chance of fear per hit, work with channeled skills, such as Disintegrate or Rapid Fire? And how do they work with damage-over-time skills, such as Grasp of the Dead or Impale with Chemical Burn or just bleed damage from a weapon?

Specifically, if I have a lot of "on hit" effects, is it advisable to use a lot of channeled / DoT skills? Given that Rapid Fire attacks like 10 times faster than regular attacks, will I gain health faster if I use it with a "life-on-hit" modifier? I'm guessing the answer is some variation of "no", but will be happy to get more details about this.

Related questions I have browsed while trying to find an answer:

Do channeled skills count as one attack? - but it only asks this regarding Mighty/Massive Blow.
Do attacks that hit multiple enemies (or one enemy multiple times) generate multiple on-hit triggers? - but it asks regarding non channeled/DoT skills, just discretely-attacking skills that can damage multiple opponents, or damage the same one more than once (like Chakrams).
Does "Way of the Hundred Fists" generate more than one "on hit" effects? and Which Barbarian ability and rune triggers Life on Hit (LoH) and for how much? are similar but specific to certain skills that work in a non-orthodox way.

texts: I recently started playing Black Ops II on my PS3 again. A few months back, we had thought our PS3 had kicked the bucket, but it turns out it started working again, and didn't give any problems since. However, when I start playing Black Ops II, about 30 minutes to one hour into gameplay, the PS3 will get the Yellow Light of Death and shut off. I told my brother about this, and he insisted it was because there was stuff behind the PS3 and it was not receiving proper ventilation. I told him this was not the case, because I ran the PS3 for 3-4 hours on Netflix and YouTube, and it did not get the Yellow Light. After he cleared the back side of the PlayStation and tried playing Black Ops II, he still got the same problem I did. We have many other games, such as GTA IV, Minecraft, NBA 2K14, but when running these games, none of those problems occur. What could be causing the Yellow Light?


texts: Commands still run from killed armor stand

texts:
I have the following commands run by an armor stand in a function
say Hello. I'm here!

kill @s

execute as @s run say Still here

When I run it on an armor stand I get
[Armor Stand] Hello. I'm here!
[Armor Stand] Still here

My desired result is that none of the commands after it's killed will run. For some reason, I thought this was supposed to happen, but it didn't. How can it still run a command as an entity that no longer exists? Does kill happen at the end of the tick and it is just "qued"?
In this case, I'd just want the first say command to run and not the second. I've tried replacing as @s with if entity @s but I still get the same results. How can I use kill as an endpoint?

This could be useful if one only has two xbox one controllers and want to use their Xbox 360 controllers for the third and fourty players in a local 4-player coop game.

texts: What advantages are there to playing with a locked camera?

texts:
I just convinced one of my friends to start playing League, and he complained about the locked camera, which is enabled by default for new players.

Since the general consensus online seems to advocate for playing with the camera unlocked, when (if at all) would it be appropriate to play with it locked, particularly for experienced players?


texts: Best way to improve execution with a fightstick?

texts:
I bought a fightstick some months ago, and I'm enjoying it a lot, I find it more fun to play fighting games with it, but I feel like I've stopped improving.

I read in several places that it takes months to get used to it and that is true, but for some time now I've stopped improving. I think that I need to start doing some specific training in order to get better because I still play worse compared to how I played with a joystick.

I play mostly SSFIV and as an example, I loved to play with Makoto with the joystick but I can't play with her at all in the fightstick, like, I can't execute the moves fast enough. Also, with Akuma I can perform a lot of combos in training mode, but in the heat of battle I always execute the move wrong, like when I'm blocking and try doing a: c.mp -> QCB lk I'm always holding down back, so the move doesn't come out.

I'm figuring out my mistakes as I watch replays and stuff, but I feel I have become stagnant in my current execution.

Is there some kind of exercises or some daily training which I can do to improve my execution with the stick?


texts: Which is better to play though, Digest Mode on Agarest War Zero or the actual game in Agarest War?

texts:
I was reading that there is a Digest Mode that you unlock if you access the hard mode in Agarest Generations of War Zero (by either completing the game or by loading in Agarest Generations of War Cleared Saved Game) which allows you to play though all of Agarest Generations of War and always get the True Route.

Now from my reading I know I have to go though this mode in order to defeat the Gods to obtain the titles associated with them but in terms of actually playing though Agarest Generations of War's storyline, which is better, doing it though Digest Mode or having the actual game

I ask mainly referring to the mechanics and story (i.e. story may be shorter or key components missing).

texts:
While in the training tower, I came across an odd situation involving my Hector and the opponent's Niles.

As this is the training tower, and enemy Heroes can have a large assortment of abilities they do not normally have when the player owns them, this Niles had a level 3 Axebreaker ability.

Level 3 Axebreaker states:

  If unit's HP ≥ 50% in combat against an axe user, unit makes a follow-up attack and the foe cannot.

My Hector has an ability built into his mighty axe, Armads, which states:

  Unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack when attacked at HP ≥ 80%.

The situation was as follows:
Niles attacked me with his bow, thanks to Hector's Distant Counter I was able to counterattack, then Niles attacked again and that was the end of combat.

At first I was really confused as I know when I am attacked at full health Armads allows me to counterattack twice.
Then I noticed Niles had Axebreaker and thought it made sense that I did not get the second attack.
But then I saw that Armads has the word "guaranteed" in it's ability text, so I am now even more confused.

Is there a specific ability priority, so we can know when one ability will trump another in situations such as this?


texts: Why does my non-full-HD capable tv set claim to be displaying 1080p?

texts:
This is a very gaming related question as I'm asking because I have my PS3 connected to a Full-HD TV set but I'm not seeing any difference compared with my other TV set, which is a not Full-HD capable TV set. Both display the very same information when switching resolution: 1080@24.

The smaller TV set is a Samsung 26" (HD) and the big TV set is a Samsung 32" (fullHD).

Edit: The question is not about my Full-HD being unable to display 1080p. It is about my not-Full-HD being able to display 1080p. When I use my Samsung 26" it says 1080p. I also tried a non-Full-HD Samsung 50" and it also says 1080. My setup is: PS3, HDMI, Gran Turismo 5 (or PS3 menu). My Full-HD was expensive compared to a comparable non-full-HD TV. So the question is:

Why my non-Full-HD TV display is capable of 1080? What is the difference with a full-HD TV set?

texts: How to fix the glitched shopping / inventory menu?

texts:
Every time in BL2 when I enter the shopping / inventory screen, I use the mouse wheel to scroll through the items. More often than not, it glitches out and gets stuck alternating between two items in the list. It does not respond to arrow keys or the mouse wheel anymore. It keeps alternating between two random items in the list. Switching between different tabs does not fix it. Sometimes exiting and re-entering the shopping menu also does not fix it. Seems like it happens randomly and goes away on its own accord.

Does anybody know how to fix this? Or why this is happening? I am playing BL2 on the PC.

Master Architect:

texts:
I recently purchased FIFA 13, and upon loading the game for the first time, it asked me to enter my online pass. I was too excited to waste my time with entering a code, I decided to leave it until later.

My problem is that I don't know where to go to enter the code now. Upon starting the game, it does not ask me to enter my online pass code. Most of the help on the internet is specific to the PS3.

I've tried to redeem codes on my xbox live account, my Origin account, and I've also tried to delete the game data on the xbox and reload the game - all to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

texts:
So I recently played through Abe's Exoddus again, finally paying close enough attention to find all the secret areas and rescue everyone. However one thing I noticed that actually always bothered me: in the final level, after getting and using the Shrykull, you drop down two rooms. In the last room you rescue the final four slaves before escaping.

However in the room just before that, where you just fall straight through, there are four UXBs and more importantly an Abe Portal. There's an open trapdoor (that you fall through), which suggests that it could be closed, resulting in you needing to defuse the bombs and go through the portal.

What's through there, and why is the door always open making the room seemingly useless?

texts: Where can I find the Official list of current Battle.net chat commands?

Battle.net supports a number of chat commands. For example:

/w USERID Hello UserId!

sends "Hello UserId!" to that user. I'd like to see the current list of commands now that Starcraft 2 has come out, so that I can learn any changes, additions, or anything specific to Starcraft 2.

I have been able to find several dated, unofficial lists, but I would far prefer a current, official list, which I have not been able to find. Can anyone find one?

For reference, in case we can't find an official list, here is the most complete old, unofficial list I found.

texts:
I've noticed while waiting to respawn that some enemies regenerate health when no one's around (most without the Vampiric Modifier). I believe I've seen all enemies classes do this at some point (Champions, Uniques, normal, etc.), but I've also seen enemies not regenerate health when I'm dead.

Is this a Boss Modifier they have in common, or is it unique to certain areas or party conditions (e.g., everyone dead)? I feel like I've seen this more often with Fire Chains enemies (or something that looks like Fire Chains), but the recollection is vague. Do all enemies regenerate their health upon leaving the current zone? Can shamans and enemy resurrectors replenish life? Can Champions+ regen life for normal enemies? And what affects these rates of regeneration (e.g., difficulty, proximity to neighboring enemies)?

texts: How do I invert the /testfor command's result? (1.12 and below)

texts:
/testfor, /testforblock, and /testforblocks are all part of the same group of commands and are similar in what they do after their test. They are only useful when their output is measured using redstone comparators (not recommended) or when combined in a chain with other commands (most often way)
It's quite simple. If the test returns TRUE, any conditional command blocks later in the chain will run (unless stopped by a different failed command in between). If the test returns FALSE, the conditional command blocks won't run.
I would like to invert the check, so that if the entity does not exist /testfor, or if the block is not what is specified /testforblock, or if the block regions don't match/testforblocks, then the subsequent commands in the chain will run, and if the check passes, they will not run. How can I do this?
(I suspect that for /testforblock, it's as simple as placing a ! before the block name, but I'm not sure if the ! operator existed in 1.12. For /testfor and /testforblocks, absolutely no idea.)
Please also consider viewing my other, identical question for Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

texts: Is it really worth hoarding all the loot you find?

texts:
By level 49, I have collected hundreds upon hundreds of various items during my quest.  I have accumulated so much loot, in fact, that I need to use 6 barrels in Riverwood to categorize my wide assortment of stash, each one heaping full with armor, weapons, gems, jewelry, potions, ingredients, ore, ingots, magic books, scrolls, and other miscellaneous items that carry a good sell value.  If I were to follow through with my plan and sell off everything I have, I'd easily walk away with 50k+ in gold.  There's just one small problem...

...no merchant is rich enough for my patronage =\.

In fact, I don't think all the merchants in all of Skyrim combined are rich enough.

I know there are perks I can get that allow me to sell a wider range of items to vendors that would be otherwise uninterested and perks that will put more gold in the vendors' pockets, but no perk will give me the edge I need to completely liquidate my inventory.

What is one to do?  Simply stop collecting loot since no one in Skyrim can afford to buy it?

texts: Are there any perks to being able to dual-wield the same weapon?

texts:
The ability to dual-wield the same one-handed weapon seems like the most useless ability to have out of all weapon upgrades you can earn to me (golden doesn't count).  e.g., If you wanted to dual-wield two SMGs, you'd just buy two different SMGs and equip them each in a hand and you have your "dual-wield." No need to get your weapon to level 5 or 6 just to be able to do so.  Frankly I see no reason to want to use the same weapon.

Two Weapon Dual-Wielding Pros:

You can get it as soon as you can afford it (which will be quick)
You're leveling/grinding both weapons simultaneously (HUGE!)

Two Weapon Dual-Wielding Cons:

Costs more money (is that really a problem?)
Your weapons don't have the same stats (is that really a problem?)

One Weapon Dual-Wielding Pros:

You are guaranteed upgrades for both weapons (not bad... dual high-capacity clips anyone?)
You level/grind the weapon faster? (4-5 more levels might go quicker? I see no difference)
You only had to get/buy one weapon saving money (again, is money really an issue?)

One Weapon Dual-Wielding Cons:

You have to level up the weapon before you can dual-wield (if you single the gun all the way, it will take some time)

If you asked me, the pros far outweigh the cons to dual-wield two weapons.  And remember, this are single-handed weapons so you generally be shooting in close- to mid-range so differences in the weapons' stats will be unnoticeable.  Any weaknesses in one weapon will greatly be made up by the other.

I see no difference in how quickly the weapons level up.  The time it took to get a 2-handed weapon to level 10 is taking about the same time it is taking me to get two SMGs up to level 10.

Are there any real benefits to dual-wielding a single weapon that you can't get with two weapons that I'm not seeing here?

I just left a location in the Moors, and was instantly attacked by some dudes on a dirigible when I was in a bad condition to fight.

The middle guy in the trio said at the start of the battle: "I've just killed ten like you" or similar. Not sure if it's a common battle starter phrase or a unique one. But the dirigible battle background I've never seen anywhere else.

Recently I've been experiencing weird behaviors while playing League. My ping stays around a normal 80-90ms. Occasionally everything will stop moving then a few seconds later everything will happen all at once. All the while ping is still where it was before.

Other times I won't see particles appear from my Champions at all. I won't always see Vayne's Silver Bolt stacks on enemies. And as Draven I won't see the landing spots of my Spinning Axes, or see them going through the air either (which is incredibly frustrating as his damage/kit revolves around keeping them up).

Is this something on my end, or is it the fault or the servers? Whichever one it is, is it something that I can fix?


texts: How does damaging Shields, then Health work for elemental bonuses?

texts:
Using two Sniper Rifles using almost the exact same damage, I noticed Head Shots from my Shock rifle on Shielded targets deal significantly less damage than Fire shots to unshielded targets. 110k damage from the Fire sniper, 69k from the Shock weapon.

If damage were calculated only once and applied to damage and health, the shock weapon should have dealt more damage; Shock's bonus against Shields is 2.5 (1.0 against Flesh) while Fire's bonus against Flesh is 1.75.

So what's happening here? It seems only enough Shock damage is dealt to take down the shields using the 2.5 calculation, then the remaining damage is dealt as if it was Flesh damage using the 1.0 calculation. Is any damage overkilling the shield, thus losing damage to the Flesh target or is only just barely enough damage dealt as Shield damage?

Is this calculation the same for other elemental types? For example explosive does 0.8 damage against Shields but 1.0 against Flesh; will the 1.0 multiplier be applied to Health "overflow" damage?

texts: Can I control the 'reinforcements needed' list? How else can I get reinforcements where I need them?

texts:
I was leading Charlie squad. We just took Dahaka Amp station.The rest of the platoon was defending Mao Tech Plant, or otherwise fighting enemy factions around that area.

2 enemy platoons arrived at Dahaka, in a couple of galaxies and a few sunderers, plus tanks and MAXes. We had no time to repair all the turrets, nor did we have enough manpower to defend the generators. After a hard fight, we eventually lost. Delta squad wanted to come, but they were already tied up. No chance of Alpha coming and Bravo was just 3 guys. By the time Delta they finished their fight and got in a galaxy, we were already beyond repair at Dahaka.

If I could control the 'reinforcements needed' screen, many more free members of the faction, along with many Delta squad, could have simply spawned in the main spawn room. Our squad was good, we just needed more cannon fodder and distractions.

So, is there a way to control the 3 spawn areas appearing in the 'reinforcements list' for the faction, when deploying? If this is not possible, what other ways did I miss in trying to get Delta to the party?

texts: I don't have a consistent connection and ping gets high on occasion. Can I still play Portal 2 coop, relying only on the saves in between levels or do I still have to be online 100% during the whole game?

texts: Is there a way that I can stop people from standing still too long?

texts:
I want to make a map where the player is not allowed to stand still in a certain radius of blocks (only sprint parkour, no stopping!) and if I search Google it comes up with how to create a AFK machine.

Is there a way that I can stop people from standing still?


texts: What strategy do you use to earn the Blitzkrieg achievement during the Media Blitz mission?

texts:
To earn the Blitzkrieg achievement in StarCraft 2 you are supposed to complete the Media Blitz mission in under 20 minutes on hard. I keep coming in right at 21 minutes. Not sure what's wrong with my strategy but I can't quite crack 20.

What strategy have you devised to earn the achievement?

texts:
So when I break an oak_log block I summon an area_effect_cloud with the tag B.Spawn at the block I just broke.
Then I use this command to summon a 3x3x3 area_effect_cloud cube around the [tag=B.Spawn] entity
execute at @e[tag=B.Spawn] positioned ~-1 ~-1 ~-1 unless entity @e[tag=B.Cell,distance=...5] run summon area_effect_cloud ~ ~ ~ {Tags:['B.Cell'],Duration:2147483647}

Now every [tag=B.Spawn] gets killed and every [tag=B.Cell] gets the tag of B.Spawn and summons again a 3x3x3 cube around it.
This brings a lot of entities who overlap each other causing 20000 entities in just a 5x5x5 cube.
I need a command which kills all entities within its block so there is only one left per block.
I tried:
execute at @e[tag=B.Cell] if entity @e[tag=B.Cell,distance=...99] run kill @e[tag=B.Cell,distance=...99]

but this kills all entities.


texts: How does population requirement work in Civilization VI?

texts:
I've read that "Each 3 Population in a city allows it to support an additional District.", however I've seen requirements such as 3, 6, 15, and 19. So kinda goes off the rails with divisible by three. Anyone sure?

Note that the tooltips are off when I take screenshot - it is currently saying 10 pop required for theater.


texts: What is Direct X, and why do games keep on requesting different versions?

texts:
I am not very experienced with computers, and was wondering what Direct X actually does, on my PC.

Why do various games request different versions? Should the latest version cover all of them, or do certain games only support specific versions?


texts:
In 2vs2 game, you often need assistance from teammates such as: asking for minerals, asking for scans, asking for help, etc... When everything is more or less ok, you can just Alt+click on the minimap to take attention or write a text.

However, when a lot of events are going on, your teammate can often miss these indicators.

How can you best grab their attention in absence of a microphone?
