texts:
Googling shows that you can get fuel at gas giant planets. In my 5 attempts at the game I've seen none of such planets. An alternative way, google suggests, is stars, but then you need some kind of "ultraprobe" or what not, which is not available at the start.

What am I missing? Mining never yielded any fuel for me, and each of the 5 games I tried ended when I run out of fuel. But I can't figure out where to get more.

Another thing is that it was mentioned somewhere that the star map is always the same. Does this mean that there is some efficient path to the goal, that goes through the maximum number of gas planets to always keep fuelled up?


texts: Can you split ammunition stacks in Resident Evil 7?

texts:
On my second playthrough I easily reached the ammo cap for both pistol and shotgun (30). Is it possible to split stacks, for instance taking out 10 shots and storing them in the item box?

The inventory space is limited even after the backpack upgrade (+4 slots).


texts:
In Super Mario Maker 1, it was possible to create a one-way warp pipe -- a warp pipe that can be traversed normally from one end, but where nothing happens when Mario attempts to enter it from the other end -- by placing two pipes over the top of one another in the editor. I used this technique frequently in SMM1 to, for example, create nicely-flowing "bonus rooms" where Mario would enter on one end and exit on the other.

Super Mario Maker 2 doesn't allow warp pipes to be placed over the top of one another in this manner.

Is there a way to create a one-way warp pipe in Super Mario Maker 2? If so, what is the procedure?

(Note: I'm aware that a workaround for this problem is to place the "out" end of the pipe in a location where Mario can't reach it, e.g. high above the ground, or horizontally-facing and not at ground level. I'm interested in a solution that creates an actual one-way pipe, without using this workaround.)


texts: How long do I have to wait to get new skins?

texts:
When you play a game with unknown signals enabled, from time to time the game will generate a vessel or "thing" that emits either a weak signal or a strong signal. The time for this things to spawn are server defined, so this is not the focus here.

However, when you press the button on this spawned thing, it sends a signal on steam, which makes you randomly get skin items (that can even be sold on steam market).

How long do I have to wait to press either the strong signals or the weak signals and kind of guarantee that I will get something?


texts: Which weapons count as a shotgun in Fallout Shelter?

I've got this objective:

  Equip 2 Dwellers with a Shotgun

I tried equipping with Enhanced Sawed-Off Shotgun, Sawed-Off Shotgun and Rusty Combat Shotgun, but none of those work. For the Equip n Dwellers with a weapon objectives, it's enough to switch out the weapon for a fists and back to the weapon, but here that doesn't seem to work.

Which weapon do I need to use to fulfill this objective?


texts:
I have an old 80GB iPod which is used as a harddrive because the screen's been smashed. I generally use it to put movies on there and watch them on my PS3.

Recently I learned that the files were just as compatible on the PS4 and it's a hell of a lot easier to keep track when watching long series thank to the Recently Viewed list.

However when I plug up my iPod into my PS4 I get a message saying that the device can't be used. But it clearly can evident by the fact that I have been watching videos off it and transfer images from the capture gallery to it.

Why am I being told I can't use my iPod when I clearly am? is there some sort of functionality that I'm not aware of that I can't use with my iPod but can with another device?

NOTE: not sure what generation the iPod is but it looks like an iPod Classic

texts: How can I make my companion focus on healing another player?

texts:
So, I'm a Vanguard in the level 30s and a friend has just got the game and started playing. I've run through a few Flashpoints and Heroics with him for fun, and and to help him through until we're an equivalent enough level to team up and adventure together properly. Being tank spec'd, I can pretty much stroll through these areas taking only single-digit damage, letting him do a lot of the work while I just soak up the damage.

Occasionally he'll take a stray hit from an AoE or catch an unwanted add before I can grab aggro, and as neither of us are healers I've brought Elara Dorne along for support but she insists on concentrating on healing my 1 or 2% damage and ignoring my friend's 40 or 50% damage most of the time. Short of manually targeting my friend and clicking Elara's healing abilities on the companion bar myself for each heal, is there any way I can get her to focus on him?

Note superficially similar to this previous question, except that I want them to heal someone else, not me: How can I force my companion to focus on healing instead of attacking enemies?


texts: What is the correct syntax for using a command block to place a wall sign

texts:
I am trying to use the /setblock command to place a wall sign and while I manage to find success in placing the sign, it doesn't include the text. I have looked all over and there seems to be various ways to write the command. This is the command that I got to work:

  /setblock    minecraft:wall_sign 4 replace
  {Text1:{text:""},Text2:{text:"Room"},Text3:{text:"Two"},Text4:{text:""}}

Here is an image of the sign posted when the command is entered:

I don't understand why it is placing the sign without the text. I have read the wiki and even seen other sources say that all I need in the code is the following:

  /setblock    minecraft:wall_sign 4 replace
  {Text2:"Room",Text3:"Two"}

However, this always gives me an error, as you can see in this picture:

Any help would be appreciated.


texts: (Java Minecraft 1.13) How to summon a splash water bottle with no gravity?

texts:
Right now, I'm making a "Fire Hose" item which shoots splash water bottles. I've got the velocity and everything working but for some reason it falls much quicker than I expected, and the trajectory is as if I've thrown it. I've tried the NoGravity tag but it isn't working, so if there is a way to get it to go where the cursor is pointing aside from raycasting and spawning it in at that block that would be great. Here's my function to shoot it: the summon command is on line two:

#summon water
summon minecraft:potion ^ ^ ^1 {NoGravity:1,CustomName:"\"firewandwater\"",Potion:{id:"minecraft:splash_potion",Count:1,tag:{Potion:"minecraft:water"}}}

#get player and water data into scoreboards

#tp the water so it's like it's going from eye position
execute as @e[name=firewandwater] at @s run tp @s ~ ~1.62 ~

#put the subtracted value into the potion's Motion
execute as @e[name=firewandwater] store result entity @s Motion[0] double 0.01 run scoreboard players get @s fwx

The water should be hitting the top of the brick wall, but instead it hits the middle:

texts: How to delay an input for a short while after it turns off?

texts:
I want to make a redstone device that prevents an input from turning on, then off, then on again very rapidly. For example, if a player turns a lever on, it should update instantly. However, if they turn it off, then turn it on again, the machine should stay off for a few moments before it turns back on. To put it another way, there should be a forced minimum delay between turning a device off then on, but no delay between turning the device on then off. Also, if the user turns the device off, waits the delay, then turns it on, the device should update instantaneously.

I have tried various approaches to this problem, and I assume I will have to use some kind of RS NOR Latch in combination with a series of repeaters for the delay, but I can't get it to function quite right. What's the best way to do this?

I've been playing Super Meat Boy on OS X, from Steam. I'd like to save a copy of some of my replays, but I can't find the keyboard shortcut. It's displayed at such a low resolution that it's impossible to read:

texts: Is there any way to use a nether portal to travel to y = 250?

texts:
I have recently build a platform above my house at y=250. As my house is at ground level, I would prefer not to have to build a tower every time I wish to get up there, and ideally I would like to not have a tower visible between the platform and my house.

With this in mind, I decided that nether portals would be the way to go. I have a nether portal in my house at y=57 and one on my platform at y=250, I also have portals in the same places at y=70 and y=115 in the nether.

Unfortunately, the portal at y=155 in the nether sends me back to the portal in my house. I understand that this is because the house portal is closer. Is there any possible way for me to travel to my platform using nether portals? Or failing that, any way to travel there without building something between my house and the platform?

texts:
I have a raiders axe with max enchants, with heroic on it and I have ender armor. Also, I have maxed out the strength on it and I have a few talismans. I need to know the quickest/most efficient way to max out the damage on it.

Talisman are accessories that can be used to boost our stats. The talismen that I use are Speed ring, Gravity talisman and Fire talisman. The game also has pets, which when summoned give stat boosts. I have a Level 35 common griffin.
You could view the different kind of talismen here and the different pets here.

texts: Was I a bad Hero by taking so long to catch up with Zelda?

texts:
So, Zelda fell through the clouds and like a good young Hero I rushed after her to save her. I ran through the forest in desperation searching and dowsing for her. I found a Kikwi who said she was with him, but she ran off to the "very dangerous" Forest Temple. Annoyed, I rushed after her... only to reach the end of the Forest Temple to find she has ran away again, to the even more dangerous Earth Temple.

So, I set off for the Eldin Volcano area. But, to be honest, by this point I am quite frustrated with Zelda. She clearly doesn't need my help! And there's all this Questing to be done! There's bugs to be collected and treasures to be found! So many Pieces of Hearts to collect and things to buy in Beedle's Airshop! People in Skyloft need my help! People who don't run away from me when I am trying to help them!

So, after I had done all the Questing I could, I finally reached the Earth Spring where I found Zelda, perfectly safe might I add, and some tall, annoying, bitter woman. This... person... had the gall to tell me I was late! Late! And she said I should be ashamed of myself for taking so long. I know she's right, I was supposed to be going after Zelda... but, Questing! Rupees! Treasures! Bugs! Crystals! Potions! Upgrades! If I actually rescued Zelda she'd just want to settle down, probably start a family, booo-ring! Questing is so much more fun!

Was I a bad Hero by waiting so long to reach Zelda? Do you always get chastised for being too slow, or did I actually hit some time threshold which changed the storyline?

Also,

texts: How does Magic Weapon (and its runed varieties) interact with other skills?

texts:
Possible Duplicate:
  Is Magic Weapon associated with a weapon or with the hero?

The Wizard’s Magic Weapon skill increases the damage of the Wizard’s weapon. Does this also increase the damage of all other skills, as they rely on the weapon’s damage, or does it only affect regular attacks?

In addition, Magic Weapon’s runes add on-hit effects. When do these apply? For instance, the Force Weapon rune adds a chance for a knockback effect. Does that mean a Wizard has a chance to cause knockback when casting Disintegrate, when under that enchantment?

texts: At which levels does Yasuo get his power spikes?

texts:
So, every champion has their power spike items and often power spike levels. I recently picked up Yasuo and I'm having a hard time identifying his level power spikes.

I know his item power spikes are at Statikk Shiv and Infinity Edge. SS gives him 60% critical hit chance and reduces his rank 1 Q cooldown to just over 3 seconds. IE after SS gives 100% critical hit chance and increases his critical hit damage in addition to the flat damage spike.

At which levels does Yasuo experience a power spike?

Yesterday I started downloading Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition from the PSN.
However I'm facing what I think is a bug: 4 files are being downloaded, two named "normally" (update file and installation file, 20GB) and two with "Italian" (since I live in Italy) word after the normal name (40GB).
What's the matter? Do I have to download all of the files or having the "Italian" version is good enough to play (even if I'd prefer the english version)?!

EDIT: on the PS4's homescreen I have TWO games, not just only one. I have the "original" one and the "Italian" version...

texts: Does the original Game Boy game "Tetris" have a battery memory inside the cartridge?

texts:
When I was a kid, I traded my NES for a Game Boy with a sketchy kid in school. He essentially scammed me into believing that I was gonna get tons of games, but when we got home to my house, he just pulled up two pirate cartridges from China, each loaded with a bunch of random games (and many duplicates), selectable in a list upon boot. (I did not grasp the concept of piracy whatsoever at that age.)

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that I never owned the actual Tetris cartridge, so I'm unsure if my copy is identical in function to the original game. I have tried for a longer time now to find this information online, without any luck.

What made me start thinking about this is the fact that while the game allows you to enter three hi-score names for each difficulty setting, they are all erased as soon as I shut down the Game Boy. I believe that whoever made the pirate carts sometime in the early 1990s must have picked titles which don't require saving/loading (and thus a battery), but the fact that Tetris has such a "hi-score table" feature makes me wonder if the game is expecting a battery inside the cartridge after all.

It seems ridiculous to me to enter your name and then have it only last until the next time you turn the Game Boy off. I basically refuse to believe that this was the intention by Nintendo, but I'm not at all sure. They could have had the mentality that "games are supposed to have hi-score tables" or something. Or maybe they thought that all the kids playing for hi-score will want the winner to only have the "trophy" until the next recess? Nintendo saving a little money on each cartridge?

My honest best guess is that yes, the game did have a battery memory, and my pirate copy author simply didn't care about this or maybe didn't realize it? I doubt they modified any of the game ROMs. (Although that seems like it would freeze/hang when trying to save to the nonexistent battery memory...)

Would love to finally be able to put this to rest.

texts: Why is my team wiping in the middle of the siege engine fight?

texts:
Last night, my group was running the Wrath of the Machine raid and had gotten to the Siege Engine fight. We lost a few times, but eventually got the point where we were consistently clearing the first half (break the siege engine's panel off and jump on) of the fight.

About that time, we started having an issue. Every time we'd finish off the siege engine and jump up on it, it would get to the point where it breaks through the wall. Then, the screen would start fading to red and the whole squad wiped out.

The first time, we figured it's because one of our players jumped off to revive the people who had been dropped. The second time, we kept everyone on the engine, but still wiped. At that point, we jumped back to space to try to get the issue to reset itself. Over 3-4 more runs, we attempted variations of everyone of the very back of the engine, no one on the back, and everyone on the stairs in the middle of the engine. Each time, the game wiped us out with no apparent explanation.

Were we doing something wrong? Is this a problem that has been encountered/solved already?

texts: Do the party skills of my companions add up?

texts:
When leveling up my companions I wonder how much influence their skill values have.

Personal skill seems clear enough that it only concerns the actual companion. Yet Party skills have me confused.

For instance, when building advancement or besieging a castle only the companion with the highest Engineer skill counts. So it seems ill-advised to waste points for other companion here. Same seems to be the case for Trade.

But is it also the case with e.g. Trainer, Wound Treatment, Surgery, and First Aid?

Will those benefits add up, as in will two companions with high a Trainer skill teach recruits faster, or does again only the one with the highest value count?

texts: The Guristas 5/10 DED complex " Guristas Hallucinogen Supply Waypoint"

texts:
I just did the Guristas 5/10 DED complex with my Ishtar, and while I managed in the end I found the last room to be very problematic. I had to warp out twice and lost a lot of Heavy Drones due to that.

I'm using a Heavy Drone Ishtar with the following fit:

[Ishtar]

Beta Reactor Control: Shield Power Relay I
Damage Control II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II

10MN Afterburner II
Large Shield Extender II
Large Shield Extender II
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II
Drone Navigation Computer I

Drone Link Augmentor II
Small 'Solace' Remote Armor Repairer
Small 'Solace' Remote Armor Repairer
[Empty High slot]

Medium Core Defense Field Purger II
Medium Core Defense Field Purger II

Wasp II x5
Vespa EC-600 x5
Ogre II x5

My skills are pretty good, the ship skill and the important drone damage skills at 5. The Ship does roughly 700 dps with Wasps, and has 440 dps tank against Guristas.

I tried to kill the Stasis Towers first, but that took too long and I took too much damage in that time. What tactic can work in that last room? Blitzing doesn't seem an option as I can't move fast enough with the Stasis Towers to loot the Overseer.

I found the following tip in the EVE Wiki:

  Tip from ShadowNeo29: the last pocket is pretty easy, kill only the Gurista Distributor, bookmark the wreck and warp out. Come back 2 min after for loot/salvage.

I tried to bookmark the room and warp back, but that didn't work and I ended up at the first acceleration gate again. What exactly is this tip trying to achieve, how does it work and what could I have done wrong?

texts: Does a Mercenary run's Life Insurance pay back money that is in town before a run?

texts:
In Heroes of Hammerwatch, Mercenary mode allows you to play as a new character starting at level 20, and allows you to do multiple runs, in ever-increasing New Game+ runs.
As a part of this game mode, the player can purchase Life Insurance for 5000 x (NG+ Level) (For example, NG+5 would be 30,000g.) This allows your Merc's money to go back to your non merc run, ONLY IF you die, in your current run.
What is unclear to me, is, if you buy life insurance for a NG+1 Mercenary run, does the money that you had from previous runs apply to the money returned upon death to your town?
For example, John has 30,000g in his bank, while he's at town, having purchased everything he possibly could before his next run. If he buys Life Insurance for 10,000g, will his main characters recieve base 20,000 gold, the moment he dies in the upcoming run?

Image attached for vague description of in game text on this.
Note that "That Adventure" could refer to just the NG+ run, or to the entire adventure of the Mercenary.

In World of Tanks, bullets can be deflected by armor thickness. I'm wondering if it is possible for a bullet to bounce on a tank with suck an angle that it can go hit an other (or any destructible structure)?

Or maybe after a bounce the bullet just disappear in the air?

And if it can, it is possible that the bullet bounce to the same tank. Does it gives 2 succesfull hits for one single bullet to the one who shoot it? Does a bouncing bullet can destroy an other target and if yes, to who goes the kill?

As far as I remember I never saw something like that happening but I want to know if there is an non-null chance.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

So a few weeks ago, I was playing BF3 as usual when everything suddenly stopped moving, everything froze and the game was shut down.  I also got a blank error message on Battlelog which did not help anything. I thought it was strange, but did not think much of it and instead went on to a different server, however, I noticed that when I flew jets (among other things), it felt like I hit something every five seconds, making it difficult to aim straight. Also the knife animation lags a lot. I have tried different servers, but it's the same everywhere even though I have a ping of around 60 ms.

Yesterday I decided to install BFBC2 again as I miss the feeling of the game in BF3, I saw that the I had same problem there, even BF 1942 when I tested it. I figured that it probably was something wrong with Origin, since I can play other online games without problems. So I re-installed Origin and removed all folders related with it and then installed it again, but without success.

Have also contacted EA support where they could not do much to help me.

Here is a small list of what I have tried:

Re-installed Origin.
Re-installed BF3.
Re-installed Battlelog plugin.
Opened all ports for BF3 in the router.
Tried to change the "Network smoothing factor" in BF3.
Installed the latest network and video drivers.
Re-started the router.
Tested other games (which is not on Origin) which seems to work really well.
Tested BF3 single player, which works without problems, this should also rule out a problem with my hardware.

Here is also a short video of when it lags:

Does anyone have similar problems or a solution?

And when I connect to the server, I'm asked if I would like to download the resource pack. Well, yes I would! Click yes, and I see

This is when I manually tested my download links from my in-house data connection and on my 4gLTE provider, both worked fine so Dropbox is sending the file when requested. Kept the MC launcher running so I could read console output and found this.

I've tried making the URL an HTTP link instead of HTTPS (in the thought that 'no protocol' meant my local Java client couldn't hit an HTTPS URL for one or another reason) . This also allows download via browser, but still will not download via the Minecraft client.

Using this:

The URL then gets transformed to this (the standard escape characters are added):

  resource-pack="http://www.dropbox.com/s/4nbkkrfmxkw6n82/DefaultHDv1_7.zip?dl\=1"

But still I get the same 'no protocol' message in all my MC client outputs. We're running MC 1.7.10, both client systems have Java 1.8 (jre-8u66) installed, and work absolutely great with the exception of this one bug.

Do I need to downgrade to 1.6 for this to function properly? I can't upgrade my MC version to 1.8+ as the mods we run in our game don't apply properly.

I've worked around it for now by just using a local respack, but I'd prefer to just get this working the way it should (and the way I want it to :-) )

Any help out there?


texts: What is the preferred order of DPS stats for the Monk?

texts:
A little theorycrafting here, which attributes should a Monk focus on from a pure DPS perspective?

Obviously in the case of Dexterity there are other effects to consider on the whole, such as the added chance to dodge and the effects that could be provided by passive skills in relations to that, but what about things like...

Additional Critical hit chance
Additional Critical hit damage
+Damage
+Elemental Damage
+Attack Speed

Et cetera, Et cetera, basically looking for a hierarchy of skills that should be considered if one is trying to purely increase their damage.


texts: Lost 12 hours of progress; did I permanently kill the woman who Channels Blood Echoes into stat upgrades?

texts:
I was reading about NPC's that you can permanently kill - some you want to, some you might not want to. Included on that list was the woman in the Hunter's Dream.

Me and a friend have been playing together; and with the controller on its own on the sofa, the dog knocked it and hit the trigger and killed the Channel Blood Echoes woman :|

I didn't know whether she'd be dead forever - our current stats therefore locked in - so I pulled the power out of the PS4.

When I loaded the game back up, it said Save data corrupted and the Continue option had gone, leaving only New game.

Checking the PS+ Online Storage, I found a saved game from a few days ago, but I've now lost 12 hours of progress.... lol!

I'll replay it all, but I'm left wondering whether I pulled the power cord in vain, or not? :P


texts: Will a house become "invalid" if I cage it to to stop an NPC leaving?

texts:
I finally made an arena for Moon Lord. Since he killed me so many times (because it takes to much time to get to the Nurse), I decided to make a small "cage" over the Nurses' house, and teleport down when I need to heal. The thing is, she'll probably walk on the Teleporter and go up. I want to cage her in a spot just so she doesn't move so I can easily heal when I need to. But I don't know a thing. Will that make the house invalid?

I put the blocks already, and i will make them a little higher so the Nurse doesn't jump over the Glass and gets on the Teleporter.

Does anyone have an answer?


texts: Can't see which of my units I have selected

texts:
Starcraft 2 just updated itself.
And now I can't see which of my units I have selected.

I can select, say, a Marine, but there is no visible indication that the Marine is selected. Makes it very difficult to see which units I have "grabbed" to command.

I found nothing on the internet about this, and chatted with an opponent just now who said it's working normally for them (no problem).

Any ideas?

This selection circle is missing.

texts:
In Epic Astro Story, I am having a hard time keeping with with the demand of visiting aliens for goods when those goods require either refined goods (which is a bit easier to tackle) or when a product requires multiple resource types.

My current attempt at solving this has a level 25 citizen working exclusively on making Home Theater Seats. This requires three of Iron ore and three Rare Metals. I have four mining platforms, two for iron and two for the metals. For workers on the mines I have six citizens so there is always some one waiting to restock a mine. For visitor access I have two landing pads, two tourist attractions and a single Resort hotel.

About every third or fourth visiting alien leaves with only visiting the tourist attraction. I simply can not keep up with how fast they want things. This also goes for just about any material made at a factory though things that require less materials do seem easier as they spend less time toting resources around. The layouts that I have pretty much put the resources across the street from where they are needed. This keeps most travel time to Out of one building and Into target building then back again.

Is this just how the game goes? Is it impossible to build an infrastructure that can meet demand?

When I silently kill an enemy with my melee weapon, sometimes an enemy quite far away randomly seems to turn hostile and alerts everyone in the room. In a room with about 8 or 9 enemies, this usually means each player taking heavy damage, and heavy ammo expenditure.

texts: Is it safe to leave "Thumbs.db" on the N3DSXL microSD card, or should I remove it?

texts:
I was using microSD Management on my New 3DS XL, to take a look at some of the pictures on the card (specifically, the Guild Card and QR code for Etrian Odyssey IV, which are stored in a separate folder, distinct from the DCIM and Nintendo 3DS system folders), when I realised that I had forgotten to disable thumbnail caching first; sure enough, there was a shiny new Thumbs.db in the folder.
Now, the game didn't even notice the file (presumably, the game doesn't actually use the folder during operation, but just uses it to output data in a format easy for the average user to access, if you tell it to generate a QR code & save it to the card), and I got rid of it anyways (I renamed the old folder, had the game generate a new QR code & folder, and then deleted the old folder after disabling caching and verifying that the new one was created successfully), but it raised a question for me:
Can there be any detrimental effects to the New 3DS XL itself, or the 3DS family in general, from leaving Windows' automatically-generated thumbnail cache file, Thumbs.db, in folders on the (micro)SD card?

  What is the most optimal way to build Monk to in Inferno?

I am wondering what sort of stats should I be focusing on for these melee classes to prepare them for act 1 & 2 of inferno? In addition, how much damage should I be doing?

I've been reading this post about inferno barb, and I am wondering if it is still accurate with the latest patch. It states that ideally I should be at 800 resist, 10k armor, 20k damage, 35k health. Should I also be focusing on attack speed & life on hit weapons? I am also assuming I should be using a sword and board.

Similarly, for my monk I came across this post saying that ideally a monk should be running 450 resist, 7k armor, 11k damage, 35k health, 1k life on hit. Is this still a viable way of building a monk? Should I be dual wielding?

In addition, none of these posts focuses on critical damage/chance. Is that stat usually reserved for ranged classes?

The reason this information would be useful is for trying to spawn favorable natures in those two Pokémon if they are indeed random.

texts: Does Essence Burn include the explosion damage from Exploding Palm?

texts:
The new patch buffed Exploding Palm in a big way.  You hit a monster with it, it starts bleeding.  Kill it while the bleed is active, it explodes for 50% of it's maximum health.  Needless to say, that's a LOT of damage to be dealing out from a single skill.  Use it on two or three monsters in the same pack, and you can often cause a chain reaction that takes out the rest of the pack.

Now, the last rune for Exploding Palm is Essence Burn.  The rune text is:

  Instead of bleeding, the enemy will burn for X% weapon damage as Fire over Y seconds.  If the enemy dies while burning, it explodes causing all nearby enemies to burn for Z% weapon damage as Fire over N seconds.  This effect can happen multiple times.

Based on usage, I get the exploding effect on other multiple enemies, but I can't seem to figure out if they take the extra 50% explosion damage on top of the burning effect.  If they do, Essence Burn is seriously silly in how you can just apply it to one, and watch the explosions happen.

I've been wondering what influences a change of meta.

Im in understanding that the current,optimal team comp is solo/duo top (bruiser or tank),solo mid (ad or ap mid) ,duo bot (support and adc) and sometimes a jungler.

Yet im also aware that it used to be recommended at most times that the adc go lane mid.

So this has plucked up the question what leads to a change in the official meta?

Is it influenced by the community's preference, where riot decides to adjust the meta to Lol population's liking?

Or do we adjust ourselves accordingly to how riot introduces lane partners which can be examined through how they organise the opposing bot champions


texts:
I'm generally curious as to how many legitimate ways there are to get into New Vegas at the beginning of the game.

For example, there is the obvious route of

   Entering Freeside and buying a pass/getting one from The King.

However, I was replaying the game, and it seems that I was able to enter The Strip by

   Saving the monorail at Camp McCarran, and then staying on the monorail, which then brought me to the Las Vegas Boulevard Station. I was then able to roam The Strip without ever entering Freeside.

Based on discussions with NPC's, these two routes are presented as the only ways of entering New Vegas.

I am curious to know if this second route was legitimate when I used it so early in the game (and not just a glitch based on my high reputation with the NCR - as I recall from in-game dialogue, the use of this method of transport is reserved for NCR VIP's only, and I believe I was only 'Accepted' by the NCR at the time).

Furthermore, what other legitimate ways (if any) exist to enter The Strip?

  I'm--do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to work on the assumption that you're still alive and I'm just going to wait for you up ahead.

  I'll wait--I'll wait one hour. Then I'll come back and, assuming I can locate your dead body, I'll bury you. Alright? Brilliant! Go team! See you in an hour! Hopefully! If you're not... dead.

I am planning on setting up a player-owned structure (POS) in a 0.5 system once I finally finish grinding my corporation's faction reputation to 5.0 for the Amarr Empire, and I was wondering exactly how safe is such a structure in high-sec?

Obviously a player or players wouldn't be able to randomly attack it without CONCORD intervention and it would be safe from capital class ships and higher, but will this make it completely safe?

Additionally, am I able to fit shield hardeners, electronic warfare systems like sensor dampening and turrets to a POS in high-sec space?

Is the safety of the POS further influenced by anything else (ie: putting it in a 0.9 system instead of a 0.5 system)?

Then I suddenly want to use the paladin's heal, so I need to shift-tabshift-tab before casting the heal. Now I want to dispel again but meanwhile my sorceress might have died, so it's only tab once now, etc...

Now I understand this is much better than individually choosing the units that have to cast, like in previous Blizzard RTSs, but is there a faster way to use these special abilities? And if there isn't, does anyone have any tips for me to speed up things?

Some of the stuff you usually build from metal can be built from other materials (mechanisms, for example) but what about the other stuff?


texts: Can you install the game on one drive and expansion packs on another?

texts:
I gave my daughter a computer with a 128 Gigabyte SSD boot drive and some lager storage drives, so she could play Sims 3.

Sims 3 takes up a lot of space when you start adding expansions packs.

Is it posible to install the main game on the SSD and install expansion packs on one of the storage drives?


texts:
Further up in the Tower of Barbs, enemies start using firearms like assault rifles, sniper rifles, and handguns. I noticed that even when they run out of ammo, they don't break like the Irons do, which leads me to believe there's a reason they stay in my inventory.

Is there a way to get more ammo for guns? Or should I just toss them as soon as they run out?


texts: Is it just me or is the Rocket League's "Super Sonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars" Konami Code easter egg GONE?

texts:
People say that on the opening screen of Rocket League and you enter the Konami Code (UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A) you get the "Super  Sonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars" title and possibly a special car.

Is it just me or this is gone from the game? Or am I doing something wrong again?


texts: How to capture a city (take over another civilisation) and what is a warmonger penalty?

texts: I've been playing civilisation for just over 5 months and I really don't know how to capture a city. In the industrial era, I invaded one of Poland's cities and easily knocked it down to no health! But the problem is the city wouldn't become mine! I don't know if there's a rule or something that says you have to capture their capital city to take over their civilisation. They have a artillery unit in their city and that's it. They have sea to the south and I am storming them from the west. Their capital city is slightly east of the city I am attacking and I have started sending troops down their. I am running low on soldiers and the only thing that is keeping their cit down is my subs blocking sea-control and reinforcements and my great war bombers and tri-planes! Also, when I scroll over their city with my mouse it says: 'If you take this city you will receive a major warmonger penalty!' I don't know what that means, but I'm guessing it's really bad (lose a lot of money or something). Please help!


texts: Super Mario Run on multiple android tablets?

texts:
I purchased the full Super Mario Run game from the google play store and installed it on my daughter's android tablet.  However, when I try to restore purchases on my son's tablet (signed in to my google play account also), it says there is no content to restore.  I also tried to re buy the game on his tablet and it wouldn't let me because I already own it....
Any way to get it unlocked on the second tablet?


texts: What level and what strategy is recommended to get the "Beryllium" achievement

texts:
I'm trying to get the following in achievement in A Virus Named Tom:

  Beryllium

  Get FOUR Energy Pellets Orbiting TOM at the Same Time

You steal energy pellets by getting close to enemy drones and they orbit TOM for about one second before getting absorbed. Each drone starts with one pellet in front of and one behind it.

I guess that I have to steal those pellets in such a quick succession that 4 are orbiting TOM before getting absorbed, at least this is how I got the other achievements for 2 and 3 pellets orbiting at the same time. So far I've tried crossing points of a vertical and a horizontal drone, but either my timing was bad or it doesn't work this way.

If you got the achievement, in which level and with what strategy?


texts: Why are there champion trains in low-level maps?

texts:
I recently started playing GW2 again and noticed that there are champion trains in low-level maps like Queensdale. A champion train seems to be a semi-organized group of people killing the champions in a given rotation. Those trains will cycle the rotation many hours.

However, shouldn't diminished returns make such behaviour less profitable? Or is there something new that you can get from champions only (haven't played since May).
