texts: How are zombies rankings calculated in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2?

texts:
I'm quite a fan of Black Ops zombies especially Black Ops 2, and I have currently Rank 4, skull with knife, and I was wondering why I haven't got to rank 5 yet.

I used to get taken down a lot in the early games but now with more experience I tend to only go down maybe once/twice per game with 1k kills.

The way I see it, my options are:

Somehow reset all my stats and start over (by deleting save, etc.)
Create a new account (not something I want to do)
Keep grinding (it is even possible at this stage? tips?)

A lot of people suggest to calculate kill/death(down?) ratio, although others say this is not the major player in the rank "algorithm".

My question is how much of a grind I would have to do with the below stats, and if there is any better way to get to shotgun rank in BO2 zombies? I never reached a very high round (40+) so I kinda think it could be related to that.

Kills: 263988
Downs: 2529
Deaths: 1426

texts: Does the skeleton suit do anything special?

texts:
The skeleton suit, costing 9999 coins, has been taunting me for a while.

I don't see why this suit costs so much? It doesn't seem to be a reference to anything, and other suits seem to cap at 2k coins.

So does the skeleton suit do anything special? Or is it just a suit that is gonna give you bragging rights?


texts: Is there any way to turn off the synchronizing of save games?

texts:
When Might & Magic: Heroes VI is closed, Ubisoft's Uplay service pops up a window that says "Synchronizing Save Games", which takes a very long time to complete and often fails without any obvious reason.  For some time I just accepted the delay as an annoying penalty for legally obtaining my copy of the game.

For the past two nights, the synchronizing has failed every time it occurs, and it is also attempting (and failing) to synchronize whenever I start the game, adding to the delay and my frustration.  However, even with the synchronizing failing, I am still able to access my campaign save games and play through them, so it appears that I am connecting to the service properly.

Since the synchronizing does not appear to be working, nor does it appear to be providing me with any benefit, is there some way to turn it off and still play online?


texts: Do all guilds get all guild perks automatically?

texts: How to pass the "dark zombie garage" in Half-Life 2: Episode One?

texts:
In Half-Life 2: Episode One, the last underground level is where Gordon and Alyx find an unpowered elevator, look around for a switch to power it on, and then try to survive the zombie onslaught while waiting the elevator to arrive.

In my previous playthroughs, I always struggled on this part, and could only survive after a few tries. (Damn you, massive zombie horde! Damn you, zombies carrying a grenade! Damn you, slow elevator that takes forever! Damn you, flashlight that doesn't have enough battery!)

Now that achievements were added to the PC version, I'm replaying this game, and I thought about The One Free Bullet achievement:

  Finish the game firing exactly one bullet. Grenade, crowbar, rocket, and Gravity Gun kills are okay!

I tried getting it, but I'm repeatedly failing in this level. If using shotgun and sub-machine gun against a massive number of zombies in the dark was quite difficult, not using these weapons seems impossible! Half of the time I die, and half of the time Alyx dies. (Before trying to get this achievement, I didn't even know that she could die!)

So... What are the suggestions to pass this map? How to survive long enough? How to get this achievement?

texts: How can I tell how much time I've spent in an Xbox One game?

texts:
I've been trying to figure out how many hours I've played the games on my Xbox One console, and I can't find an universal way to do so with the console's built-in software.

To contrast, the Steam application tells you how long you've spent running each game, and the 3DS's Activity Log and Wii U's Daily Log apps give you the same info and break it down by days weeks, and months. I can't seem to find anything similar on Xbox One, except for game-specific in-game counters (which are arguably more accurate, but not at all universal).

Have I missed a counter somewhere in the UI, or something?

texts:
I am attempting to learn how to play as Xiba, but my first foray into online fighting has left me 0-3. I had trouble opening up the opponent's defense, and couldn't get off my back feet to initiate an attack. It seems one of Xiba's advantages is his weapon speed. When the opponent misses an attack or has one blocked, I would like to jab him real quick, just to interrupt his flow. Despite the flurry nature of Xiba's moves, however, none of the ones I tried seemed to simply start up and hit quickly to punish mistakes like this.

What are Xiba's effective punishing strategies? When an opponent leaves himself open for just a few frames, which of his attacks are most likely to hit and interrupt the opponent's flow? What kinds of attacks does his "Rememberance" stance counter? Is using that even a reasonable option?

texts: What is the fewest cycles to clear Majora's Mask, without exploiting glitches?

texts:
I’ve seen videos of Majora’s Mask speedruns that heavily relied on glitches. There’s also this guide about clearing 100% in 5 cycles.

And now I’m curious about the fewest number of cycles it takes to complete Majora’s Mask (not 100%), without using glitches or errors.

Detailed guides or videos will be appreciated. Any version of the game (N64/WiiVC/3DS) is okay.


texts: New Surface Outpost Contract - add on to an existing base?

texts: So I currently have a surface outpost on both Mun and Minmus, but I've now received two more contracts to do the same thing -- one outpost on each moon. Instead of creating a whole new outpost, is it possible to extend the existing base, so that the total requirements of the new contract are met, without making a whole second outpost such that it would complete the contract? It says that it must be a new outpost build for the agency after the contract is accepted, but I know once you join vessels together (I have docking ports available) it makes one large vessel (until you undock them again of course).

texts: Which followers are a different level than the Dragonborn?

texts:
I'm playing through Skyrim again, and when choosing what follower to use at my level, I noticed that the Elder Scrolls Wiki lists Mjoll the Lioness's level as

UESP says this as well.

So, if I'm level 28, Mjoll should be level 35.

Are there any other permanent followers with a level that's different than the Dragonborn's? This is assuming that the Dragonborn's level is currently within the follower's range.

texts: I got Zombies 5K some time ago through a Humble Bundle but I noticed that I can't use a Spotify playlist while playing it / running. While the free version of Zombies!

Since I have almost no locally stored music on my device I was wondering if it's in any way possible to use a Spotify playlist since running in almost complete silence is quite boring.

My question, are enemies able to see the marker I place on the ground?

texts: Missing trophies in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood

texts:
I almost completed AC:B but the game suddenly stopped tracking trophies. For example, I just discovered the shrine in Saint Peter's Basilica (which should unlock the Amen trophy) and nothing happened.

What's even more frustrating, though, is that I wasn't awarded with any of the other trophies that are unlocked by completing the main storyline (e.g. completing Sequence 8).

Is there anything I can do to make my game load the missing trophies without having to restart it from the beginning?

texts: How long will this strategy work? (TZ 2v2 marauder+cs/speedling push against PP, TP shared base)

texts:
My 2v2 partner and I are Terran/Zerg and in high bronze, working on our fundamentals to get into silver/gold. When playing a walled off (shared base) Protoss and Protoss or Protoss and Terran we've started developing a push of 5-10 marauders with concussive shells and 20 or so speedlings. We go into push mode if we scout and they are not rushing.

We rally close to the enemy base, and then I head in first with marauders focusing my firepower on the weakest point in the wall. Once the wall is busted, he rushes in with his zerglings and tries to do economic damage. It's a little like a baneling bust. In bronze this has started to work really well. If we don't roll over them, we usually do enough damage that successive waves of attacks eventually win the game.

I haven't seen the marauder/ling as a recommended team combo. Should we be continuing to work on this build? Will this be effective in silver? What counters should we look out for?

texts: How to get more Salvaged Frigate Modules?

texts:
I've been playing through No Man's Sky, and have upgraded almost everything as much as possible, but I'm having trouble gaining the "Salvaged Frigate Modules" (SFM) required to upgrade my freighter.  I'm picking that in the 115+ hrs on this save I may have received maybe 15 total?  And I haven't received any in the past couple weeks.

I've read that you can get them through Frigate expeditions, so I'm sending my frigates out on all 5 available expeditions every day, usually 4- or 5- star fleets going out on every expedition (even on the 1-star quick ones), but I rarely get any SFMs in the rewards.  (as an aside, I also never see expeditions higher than 3-star, so maybe if I was seeing 4- or 5-star expeditions there might be more in the rewards, but I don't know)

I have also never found any at Crashed Freighter sites, nor from attacking fleets, and I think I may have received 1 or 2 on a Nexus mission.

Is there a quicker, better, way of getting these?  I only need a handful more to finish upgrading my freighter, but this is getting frustrating!

texts: What is the difference between "Active" and "Wait" combat modes?

texts:
I've picked up Chrono-Trigger for the DS recently, and I have to say I am really enjoying it so far.

The only thing I am not entirely comfortable with is the real-time combat system. While I appreciate the added challenge and increased "realism", it's sometimes frustrating, especially when you are fighting three X monsters and it takes you time to figure out which of the three X buttons that show up when you try to attack is mapped to the X monster on the far left.

The game's option page allows you to switch from this "Active" combat mode to the "Wait" mode, which according to its description seemed like it should make combat become completely, or at least mostly, turn based. In practice, I see no difference whatsoever when switching between the two modes.

So my question is twofold:

What are the differences between the two combat modes?
Is there some sort of trick for successfully switching to "Wait" mode?

Thanks


texts: What happens with Trust Blade gets on Trust level A?

texts:
So, to unlock every circle of Affinity Chart of Blade, you need Trust level A with Blade. After this, once you finish all nodes in Affinity Chart, you can get Trust level S. However, after this, Blade can still get Trust to get Trust levels S1, S2 etc up to lvl S8 or S9, I'm not sure.

But I have question regarding this mechanics. What happens with Trust Blade is supposed to get between level A and level S? Does it simply disappear, or accumulates towards S1+ levels? E.g. if S1 requires, say, 11k of Trust, and after getting my Blade rank A with 9600 Trust, if I get Blade 2k Trust, will it instantly get S1 after getting S?

texts: How do the elemental gems influence my magic attacks?

texts:
When I use a magic attack with multiple gems of a different type in Chantelise, the nature of the attack seems to be determined by one of the gems I use(i.e. if there's an earth and a wind gem used together I might end up with a hammerorb that has wind properties. In this case, the nature of my attack would be earth, or a hammerorb). However, there are some cases where I specifically want the magical attack to not be of a certain nature; for example, if I'm attacking a bomb-type enemy, I don't want my spell to turn out to be a hammerorb, forcing me to get up close to inflict damage.

What determines the nature of my magic attack? Is it based on the ordering of the gems, or the number of gems of each type that I put into the attack? Or is it entirely random?

Also, what sort of attributes does each gem type add to my attack?

texts: What are the differences between the Wireless Scanner vs Emitter?

texts:
On one mission, I acquired a Wireless Scanner gadget:

  WIRELESS SCANNER

  Passively scans for Mainframe devices within range.

  Requires HACKING Skill Level 2

I found this item to be a little underwhelming, considering that I started my campaign with the agent Internationale, who has the Wireless Emitter augment (emphasis mine):

  WIRELESS EMITTER

  Allows agent to hack items from a distance, through walls.
  Automatically reveals nearby mainframe objects.

Other than the fact that the Emitter actually allows me to hack consoles from a distance, while the Scanner does not, are there any other differences between these two items? Does the Scanner have a greater range, or is the range the same as the Emitter?


texts: Is it possible to run Guild Wars 2 from a USB-connected drive?

texts:
My machine is an early 2011 17-inch MacBook Pro with a 2.2 Ghz Core i7, 4 GB RAM, and a Radeon HD 6750M with 1 GB of VRAM.

Based on the published system reqs, I think it should be able to run the game client, at least at minimal settings. (Comments on that are welcome.)

I have an external USB drive with plenty of space though.

Could I install GW 2 on that and run it from there?

texts: What is the actual "spread speed" of water and lava in the context of a stone generator?

texts:
I'm currently experimenting with stone generators, e.g.:

I'm having problems figuring out what speed of pulse do I need to provide to the piston in order to maximize the speed of stone production.
According to the Wiki, lava needs 30 "game" ticks (or 15 "redstone" ticks) to flow 1 m, however, it looks like the fluids don't need to propagate fully to the generated block to trigger stone generation. In other words, even with a 2-tick clock like this one:

you still get a stone once every few piston movements. On top of that, you can see that what spreads first into the generated block is nondeterministic (sometimes it's lava, sometimes it's water, at least graphically).
Hence, my question is: from 1.3 onwards, what clock pulse is needed for a piston-based stone generator to create stone as fast as possible, and what clock pulse is needed for said generator to create stone every piston cycle (if they are not the same)?

texts: What is the difference between different rarities of the same item in Apex Legends?

texts:
In Apex Legends, I've sometimes found multiple copies of the same item in a game, but with their names/frames appearing in different colours. I assume this represents different rarities. For example, I know I've picked up a "Wingman" revolver whose frame appeared in yellow, to replace another "Wingman" whose frame appeared in teal.

Based on other games, I assumed yellow was the "highest-quality" version of the weapon. However, the game interface doesn't seem to display any damage or rate-of-fire statistics for different weapons, or name the rarities, so I'm not confident that I'm doing the right thing.

How much difference is there between different rarities (colors) of the same weapon in Apex Legends, and how do they rank from best to worst?

texts: What could cause a Gemcrafter to stay inside his workshop for a long time and eventually die, while still being "undiscovered"?

texts:
My gemcrafter locked himself inside of his workshop for a suspiciously long time. Eventually, he became "missing" and his yet-to-be-discovered corpse was releasing clouds of miasma.   There are plenty of factors that could have caused this, but i will trt to add the ones i think have caused this:

He was working with Rough Onyx. (but never actually got started)
He was not assigned to any burrows.
He was "content".
He had an assigned bedroom.
He was NOT in any strange mood.
The fort was not in lack of food, water or booze.

Note 1:
I recently discovered his corpse (although it was visible that it was still in the gem workshop. The fact that it was "dehydrated" probably explains the miasma). So, why would my r gemcrafter isolate himself inside of his workshop?

Note 2:

His workshop layout:

texts: How do I complete level 14 and 16, Food fight, on Bag it!

texts: The last world on Bag It!, Food Fight, is causing me trouble. Specifically on level 14 and 16. Unfortunately, these two are the only levels which don't have a walkthrough on the internet. What method would I use to complete them with their medals?


texts: What Warhammer-specific mechanics were added to the Total War engine for Warhammer: Total War?

texts:
I have played a lot of the older titles in the Total War series, but I know almost nothing about Warhammer. As the title suggests, I would like to know the crucial differences between the new title of the series and the older ones.

I know that the older titles aren't all the same and I can't formulate the question perfectly, but Total War: Warhammer probably has multiple additions or innovations when compared to the earlier titles (due to it being based in fantasy vs. history).

What I'm looking for is an overview/comparison for a player who isn't versed in the Warhammer universe, but who has played nearly every former Total War game. I could watch some live streams or gameplay videos, but I don't want to spoil myself on the plot of the game by doing so.


texts: If Toy Bonnie is in the Right Vent, is it possible put the mask on fast enough after opening and closing the monitor?

texts: I'm playing Five Night's at Freddy's 2 (FNaF 2), I'm on night 4, and keep getting murdered by Toy Bonnie, who lurks in the vents when I pull up the monitor. I've tried getting the Freddy Mask in time but can't do it. Is it possible to pull up the mask after accedentally pulling up the monitor?


texts: What raid pass will be used if I (physically) move whilst being in the lobby?

texts:
When you join a raid lobby, you select which pass you are using (remote, daily or premium). The pass will actually not be used until the raid starts. Can the type of pass change based on your physical movement while in the raid lobby?
For example, if I walk towards the gym and start the raid lobby outside of the normal range (so with a remote pass) but the raid starts when I am in range (so the daily free pass could be used), would I use the remote pass or the daily pass? And the other way around, can I start the raid lobby when inside range, and already start walking home again?
Of course, when there is a larger group I could start the lobby with any pass, go out and rejoin when in range. But in those cases I don't mind the spent a couple of minutes outside, chitchatting. It is mostly for the 1* or 3* raids that you can solo, and want to spend as little time as possible (while using the least expensive pass).


texts: So, I'm in a bit of a pinch. I'm on an SMP server, with 1.5 hearts and no food, but all the ingredients. I'm about to prepare some mushroom stew, but alas, I got chased and cornered by a creeper in a grief-protected house. If I open the door, I'm finished, but there's no other way. So, I'd like to wait for a creeper to despawn while I'm offline. How long would it take?


texts: Transferring save files for Stardew Valley to a new computer

My wife started playing Stardew Valley on my account and she's hooked, so now I want to set her up with her own Steam account on a new gaming laptop, so that she and I can each play different games at the same time.  Is there any way to transfer her saved games to a new computer?  We can enable Family Sharing for her new account.  Thank you in advance.


texts: Why Blowing Up other player's Personal Vehicle consider as Bad Sport?

What would be the best way to accomplish this? May it be through command blocks or plugins.

texts:
Before Call of Duty: Black Ops' start screen, there was a cinematic of a lady talking into a microphone.  She said the word "Ascension" followed by a series of numbers.

texts:
I got to the nether for the first time, promptly saw a ghast, and started running away from it. The game suddenly crashed and closed completely. On reloading the game, I was back in the nether, but I couldn't see my portal. I assumed I'd run a bit away from it when I saw the ghast, so starting looking around. Half an hour later I still hadn't found it, so I fired up Minutor to help my search.

I set up a colour scheme where lava, netherack, gravel, soul sand, fire and bedrock are all alpha 0. Obsidian and Portal are set to bright green, fully visible. It seems from this map that my portal has gone completely. I checked at a variety of depths, just to be sure, and there's not a trace of green to be seen.

Is it possible that my portal has disappeared?

texts: Does Pokemon Go take into account STAB in gym battles?

texts:
In the main series games, there is a concept of STAB (same type attack bonus), where a pokemon of a certain type will get an additional attack bonus (+50%) when using a move that has the same type. This bonus is in addition to any modifiers caused by the target pokemon's resistances.

For example, a Fire type pokemon using a Fire type move would do additional damage, compared to a non-Fire type pokemon using a Fire attack, or a Fire type using a non-Fire type attack.


texts: What are my chances to get anything from Pokestops?

texts:
In Minecraft and in the answers I see stuff like this:

/testfor @a[x=X,y=Y,z=-Z,r=R]

Then the people say to hook it up to a /setblock command or a /fill command or etc.

What do people mean when they say "hook up to"? How do you hook up a /testfor command block to another /setblock command? I understand the whole /testfor thing except the part on how to hook it up to another command block.

texts: Finding Zinc on a dead moon - without a spaceship

texts:
Okey. I admit, various mistakes I made are present in the following story.

So, I found a crashed spaceship on the moon of Slipchant-8 Hainay, named Ouchimano. She is a hell of beauty, and I fell in love at the first glance. Her pulse engine is seriously damaged: nothing but 20 zinc could save her. I don't have any, hadn't ever since I landed on this moon. Love is blind, however, and I took the challenge of finding it - I thought there must be some trading post nearby where I can obtain. I couldn't have been more wrong. (I took this a bit as a role-playing and a challenge, and I ignored I could go back to my previous ship. Mistake...)

On my journey searching for the desired material, I made a huge mistake. I called Ouchimano to an outpost. I still can't believe she made it there, with all her deep wounds, but there she was; and while I was glad to see her, I had to realize I have lost my only indicator to my previous ship's location. My ex is gone forever. There is no way back now, Ouchimano's and my fate is connected irreversibly. I shall leave the moon with her, or I shall never leave.

The moon we are on now is dead. No flora or fauna present, only some carbon-yielding mushrooms can stay alive here. Sentinels presence is minimal. I have spent the past two days (like 12 hours of pure playing time) walking on that no-man's land, barely finding any trading point, not to mention any zinc. I wish she could help me in my journey, and so does she, but she is forced to ground until I succeed in the hunting. Sometimes the scaring thought that I will never again leave this moon flashes in my head.

I need your advice. I had enough pain of walking without a path. What would be the fastest way to find that 20 zinc without a ship on this barren land?

texts: How do I stop Xbox One games from running updates *while* playing?

texts:
Twice in the last week, I have been playing Batman Arkham Knight on my Xbox One, in the middle of a mission, when all of a sudden the screen went black and then went to a screen that said the game "needs an update", with an option to continue or cancel. After installing the update, the game is reset and my mission needs to be started over from the last checkpoint.

How can I prevent this behavior, so that the game only prompts for updates when it first starts up or while I'm not playing?

It might be important to mention that the Xbox is set for "instant-on" (rather than fully powering down and up), and the game was the last app to be run before the previous shutdown, so it does not "start from scratch" when I run it (I am instead presented with a prompt like "You were last playing as [gamertag]. Do you want to continue (A), change profile (Y), or go back (B)?"

texts: How to make a rain of arrows in vanilla Minecraft using command blocks?

texts:
I'm trying to set up a series of command blocks that will make a rain of arrows around the player when a specific item is held.

The idea is that as soon as the player holds a specific item, command blocks will spawn arrows 10 blocks above him. Then I want to randomly spread out the arrows over a certain radius, excluding the block the player is standing on.

I've thought about using the /spreadplayers command;

/execute @a[score_Arrows_min=1] ~ ~ ~ /spreadplayers ~ ~ 0 5 false @e[type=Arrow]

However, this makes the arrows teleport to the ground, instead of placing them in the air. I'm also unable to exclude the block the player is standing on as location.

I've looked around for a way to randomize teleportation coordinates in order to replace the /spreadplayers command, but that doesn't seem to be possible.

Can someone with more experience help me out, please? Also, I'm trying to keep the amount of command block as low as possible because my PC isn't that powerful.

Are there any advanced classes in Fire Emblem Heroes?
Or any characters/classes that can use two colours of weapons?

So, I've been wanted to do more gaming on my surface pro, especially using a DS emulator to turn it into a giant Gameboy. However, in order to do this, I'd need some virtual d-pad/buttons to touch (the existing virtual keyboard isn't cut out for gaming).

Ideally this would take the form of a desktop app that creates these controls in a separate window that I could position relative to my game window. does anything like this exist? and if not then is there another way to realize my giant Gameboy dreams?

It seems that at least two shrine effects can be had at the same time. How will this stack (if for example I have two shrine effects from the same shrine type active)? Up to how many shrine effects can I stack?

Also, there seems be a cooldown before you can re-activate a shrine - how long is this?

texts:
As you can unlock another raged weapon slot is it worth working on two weapons or specialising in one? I guess this is linked to how abundant karma is in the game, but currently I'm working on Pistol, which makes having the second weapon slot feel a little redundant.

So ideally, is putting points into two weapons a more sound strategy, or will single weapon specialisation yield better rewards further down the line?

texts: How can I tell if my parachute will work?

texts: In a recent (relatively, stopped playing for a while) update of KSP, drag is much more of an issue now. Prior to this update, the staging icon (the orange icon to the left of the screen while in flight) of the parachute would turn red only of the chute was destroyed in-flight for some reason. Now, it turns red if it is unsafe to deploy, OR if it's been destroyed. I had a rough take off, where I thought I was in thin enough air to prevent significant drag, but it turns out I wasn't, and my parachute icon turned red. Shortly after this, I achieved a successful orbit, and my craft is moving quite fast (as normal in orbit), so my parachute icon is still red. Even though I've seen this before on a good parachute (where the iron is red because of my speed), I'm not convinced that the chute is good enough to bring poor Jebidiah back home safely once I de-orbit. I don't have an engineer (nor can I EVA yet) to repack the chute in space if were to test it, so is there any other way I can tell if the chute is still good, and will be deployable later in the Kerbin atmosphere?

texts: Is there any guaranteed way to complete the Like Water achievement?

Dodge is a percentage chance with diminishing returns as I understand it. I boost my Dex quite high when I can and even using Mantra of Evasion, Fists of Thunder, Sixth Sense and Guardian's Path with 2 1-H weapons I still can't seem to get 15 consecutive dodges.

Am I doing something wrong? Does enemy level vs. your level make a difference to dodge chance? Is there any way to increase dodge that I am missing? Is my Dex maybe too low and if so, how high would it need to be to get this achievement? In short, how do I get the Like Water achievement?

Specific details on the minimum setup needed would be much appreciated if relevant. Extra points for math as well.

I'm beginning to suspect it is the moon that changes shapes when no one is watching it, and it may be invisible. I'm starting to suspect the moon is actually the Night Vale Clock Tower, because I just can't see it.

How do I find this (possibly) invisible, (possibly) teleporting moon?

texts: Is there a Minecraft direction facing by hotkey solution?

texts: I’ve already scoured the internet to the best of my searching ability for a client side Minecraft mod or solution that can set my camera rotational coordinates to pre-set directions with the press of a hotkey. Obviously I couldn’t find one so I come here to crowd source a solution. I am trying to make an automatic builder script and the facing method I have is unreliable. It’d be a blessing if that could be handled by the client so the script can operate on clicks and keyboard only without having to work on mouse movement. I’m asking here for solutions to the problem such as how it could be handled using the above inputs form the script. My next option would be to spend a Fiver to have a mod made for me because I’m at the point of pulling out hair and I have no coding experience.

One of my friends asked recently what sort of practical rooms one should build into their house in Minecraft, and it got me thinking...what ARE the practical rooms one should build for their home base?

Obviously not every room should be directly attached to your main place of operation, but there must be some major conveniences that one should build right onto their house.

So, what are these conveniences, and in what order should a person add them to their home?

texts: Hardware differences in the 4GB Xbox and 250GB Xbox?

texts:
My three-year-old Xbox 360 is having video issues. The cost of a repair is high enough that I'm tempted to just buy a new console and save myself the aggravation.

I already have a 120GB drive in my current Xbox, so I'm tempted to buy the smallest Xbox and swap the drives, rather than paying extra for a 250GB drive I don't need.

Will this work? Is the hardware I get with a 4GB Xbox different from the 250GB in other unadvertised ways?


texts: Declaring war when enemy spy is killed. Which is the warmonger penalty?

texts:
In Civilization V, whenever you catch a spy trying to steal a technology and identify who his master is, you are presented with three options.

1. To forgive them for spying on you

Which gives a diplomatic boost with that civilization.

2. To ask them to stop spying on you

Which results in a diplomatic penalty with that civilization.

3. To declare war

Warring is often difficult due to the warmonger penalties. I know that whenever one declares war on a civ teaming with another through 'Should we declare war on...?', the warmonger penalty is halved.

  Know that the Warmonger Penalty is cut in half any time you have agreed to go to War against a Civ at another's request, or asked them to do this through the Diplomacy interface (Shall we declare war upon...).

Question:

Is the warmonger penalty for declaring war upon discovering a spy, reduced by the fact that you just caught them spying?


texts: Why do I sometimes fully heal at the end of combat?

texts:
At first I thought I was crazy, but I've been keeping an eye out for it and it definitely happens on really rare occasions. I'll be fighting some enemies and when the battle ends, my life bar fills itself back up to full. In my last 2 hours of play or so, I've only seen it happen 3 times.

  I did not level.
  I don't have any gear that leeches health.
  I don't have any abilities that leech health.

texts: Is there any way a captured but non-ceded city can grow again?

texts:
In Civ 6 an opponent has to cede a captured city to you for it to grow again.

Is there any way around this - including with Wonders or Civics or anything else?

I have now wiped out a civilization before he could cede his cities to me - am I now stuck forever with non-growing cities?

On a related note if you decide not to raze a city as soon as you capture it - is there any way to raze it later?

(I can see this leading to ridiculous anti-pattern moves like allowing a city to be captured so you can recapture it again and raze it).

On another related point if a non-ceded city is captured by a third party - do you need to cede it to them or does the original owner? And what if the original owner is dead?

My first character in Sunless Sea didn't accomplish much. When his crew eventually mutinied and murdered him, I created a new guy and transferred my map with him, but honestly there wasn't much on it that I didn't already have memorized anyway.

I noticed that in my Journal, it has a note that there was one past captain and that "the zee changes". So what I'm wondering is that given I had a pretty terrible start and didn't accomplish anything of value to pass on to my next character, should I just restart completely to avoid making the dead captain's counter increment? What effects does it have?

texts: This began happening Tuesday March 10, 2015. I installed the latest update for Grand Theft Auto V (the heists one) the day it came out at around 12:05 AM, which was March 10th. What's been occurring is my controller no longer starts up the Xbox when I turn the controller on (like it used to before I installed this update). Can a game's title update affect Xbox hardware? I doubt it, but this is the only cause I can think of since Microsoft did not release an Xbox One firmware update recently. Or if they did, I wasn't notified nor did I install it. Now, I have to connect the controller then turn on the Xbox manually. The controller connects and I can play the game with it, but other than that, the only issue is that the controller doesn't turn on the console. The console is only two months old. Anybody else have this issue?


texts: Why does this rising-edge detector fail when connected to this t flip-flop?

texts:
This is for the Minecraft Bedrock edition (on Xbox One).

I've built a simple redstone circuit that combines a t flip-flop using repeater-locking based on this design and a rising-edge detector based on the "circuit breaker" design here.

The bottom stone block in the picture has a sticky piston underneath it facing towards the block, as per the "circuit breaker" design I linked to above.

If I press the button in the state shown, I would expect to see the section between the t flip-flop and the rising edge detector to turn on steady, and to see the lamp in the bottom left light up for three ticks and then turn back off.

In reality, the rising edge detector doesn't seem to work when it is driven by the output of the flip-flop. The piston goes up, but the repeater after the piston never gets activated.

If I place a lever inline and use that instead of the flip-flop, the rising edge detector works as expected.

I don't see any reason this wouldn't work. What am I missing?

Edit: It seems that if redstone signal passes through a repeater at all, the "circuit breaker" rising-edge detector described above doesn't work. Does this work on the Java Minecraft? Does this have something to do with how blocks are "updated"?

Edit 2: I think I've refined the problem a little bit. If redstone passes directly to the sticky piston, the sticky piston will do a one-tick update on all the blocks around it – meaning the repeater just before the lamp gets activated. If redstone passes through a repeater before reaching the sticky piston, the sticky piston is activated but it does not do a one-tick update to the blocks around it – meaning the repeater never gets activated.

There are a number of other animals from the mod that you can put on your head for some effect, but no mention of how to remove them pretty much anywhere.


texts: Civilization V Patronage social policy tree when playing as Alexander

texts: Alexander the Great has the Hellenic League bonus in Civilization V, which means that "City-State influence degrades half as slowly as normal, and it recovers at twice the speed as for other civilizations". If I choose the Patronage social policy tree, which has the initial bonus "Adopting Patronage will cause  Influence with City-States to degrade 25% slower than normal", does this mean that the influence will degrade 75% slower than normal? In other words, are the two effects cumulative?

texts:
FIFA 12 introduces a new tactical defending feature, but I can't really seem to get the hang of it.

If you shield someone (standard button A), your player always stays 1 meter in front of him, but never actually attacks unless the opponent runs into you.
The actual tackle (standard button B) only works for me if I run beside him, otherwise the opponent just makes a sidestep and is through.
Calling a second player with R1 also just gets him to shield, not to attack.

Are there any tips for properly defending with the new mode, especially against the higher AI levels?

I know you can turn it back to the old mode, but I'd rather learn how to use this.

texts: How do I concatenate two strings in NBT?

texts:
This situation is fictional. Please do not suggest an alternative method as described in the Story, please only provide a solution to the Core Question below.
Story
I am creating a chatbot using commands in Minecraft. A grid of buttons representing letters and numbers is on a wall. The player can press these buttons to "type" letters into their query to the chatbot. Each letter is typed by adding a string with that letter to the end of an NBT array. For example, when the 'L' button is pressed, this command is run:
data modify storage chatbot:main CurrentEntry append value "L"

For example, a completed query array for the query "Life is a bowl of cherries" might look like this:
{CurrentEntry:["L","i","f","e"," ","i","s"," ","a"," ","b","o","w","l"," ","o","f"," ","c","h","e","r","r","i","e","s"]}

Once the user is finished entering a query into the machine, they press the Submit button, which starts the analyzing process and allows the chatbot to give an answer.
Problem
I'm in the phase where I'm developing easter eggs, where a specific phrase can be typed into the chatbot to produce a unique response. To do this, I am going to need to concatenate each value in the query array in order to produce a single string with the full query, and then compare that with a template string to see if it matches an easter egg phrase.
Concatenating strings in Minecraft will probably be quite of a hassle. The approach I've chosen to take is to concatenate the first two strings, then concatenate the result with the next string, and so on until I've reached a final string of the entire query.
Core question
How do you concatenate two or more strings from NBT data?
Given two strings in NBT:
{String1:"Life is a ",String2:"bowl of cherries"}

can you concatenate them to produce:
{ResultString:"Life is a bowl of cherries"}

Past trials

I had the idea of using /data modify to append to strings, but it is only for adding to lists, not adding to strings.

texts: I've re-installed Wicher 3 and my backed up savegames won't load

texts: Black Screen when alt-tab or exiting fullscreen games in Windows 10

texts:
When I use alt+tab on a fullscreen game to go back to the Desktop in Windows 10, most of the time the screen goes black. It doesn't happen all the time which is makes this even more confusing. It also turns black sometimes after exiting the game. I have a single monitor and an Nvidia Graphics card. Some things I've found about this:

I can press alt+tab again and it comes back to the game
I can press Windows+P two or three times and Enter to blindly try to switch to multiple monitors setup, doing two or three times gets me back to the desktop
I can unplug and plug again the HDMI cable and it gets me back to the desktop
It also happens if I try to press alt+enter to get the game to go to windowed mode

It has happened to me in the games Overwatch, Destiny2, DragonAge Origins and the Final Fantasy XV Demo, so I'm pretty sure it's a general error when going fullscreen.

Here's some research I've done for similar problems.

This thread in Steam forums talk about something similar in several games on Windows 7 due to the monitor set to 59hz by default. I checked and mine is set to 60hz.
This thread in Nvidia forums talk about this problem in GTA and they solve it by renaming the executable to something other than gta_sa.exe. This I haven't tried since I open the games from the Steam/Blizzard launchers.

Is there a way to solve this?

Update
Here are the things I've tried and haven't worked:

Updating Nvidia Drivers
Switching refresh rate to 59Hz

Edit 2018-12-18
It's been a long time since I asked this question. Both Windows 10 and Nvidia Drivers had several updates since then and now I don't have this problem anymore. But I did used fullscreen windowed mode when available until I found the problem fixed itself so I'll mark that as the answer.

texts: Which button redirects me to the key chests in Pixel Gun 3D?

texts:
I got some keys and I know that they passed 10+ after playing a deathmatch in Pixel Gun 3D. Since the game has a bunch of locations, I cannot find the key chests. (I remember the lockers as  a recommendation.) I checked Armory multiple times (Not all armory items are in armory) and not finding them.
For clarification, the key chests, are not called "key chests", I call them that because I forget the title after all the alternatives in the game. It is this section in the game where the key chests are blue, purple, and the last one I figure red. The prices are 10 keys,  50 keys, and I forgot the last price for the red one. They are these raffle chests to where you see what price they are giving you, like common rewards like coins or gems, or big rewards like gear gun pieces or mythical x1 pieces, such as trails and rifles. If you have saw this background before, please notify the navigation buttons in your answer. See more detail here.

The keys can only be spent on opening Small Chests, King Chests, and Mega Chests. In the old Super Lottery, it would be used for obtaining Novice Chests, Fighter Chests, and Winner Chests.

So, I guess that is what they are called.
In all, can someone please show me the buttons to the key chests?

texts: Can a monster be leveled so high that it can't be skilled up?

texts:
When I've fed smaller monsters to target monsters to raise them to max levels (for example, raising a Pengdra to level 10 so that it can be evolved into a 2nd-level Pengdra) I have often gotten the message "Maximum Level Reached" with an accompanying warning that I can't perform any more Power-Up Fusion.  It doesn't usually happen when I just reach the maximum number of experience points, but when I've gone over by some margin.

Skilling up a monster is done by Power-Up Fusion, and (except for Pys) there's no telling how many times you'll have to try before it's successful.  Does that mean that if I have a monster, say a Green Odin, at max level, and I keep feeding it monsters to try and skill up its active, I might hit a point where I can't try any more?

texts: What is the meaning of the statue towards the end of Chapter 4?

texts:
Towards the end of Chapter 4, just before Ruvik reveals himself and re-animates the dead in the room, Sebastian finds himself in a large room with a number of switches he has to pull in order to drain the water first.

One switch on a platform above the water can be pulled 4 times, and each time it is pulled, the camera cuts away to a body tumbling out of one of the 2 chutes on each end of the room.

On the 3rd pull, a statue of what looks like the Virgin Mary comes out of the chute instead. Then one more body on the 4th pull and then nothing else comes out.

Does anyone know why the statue comes down? What is it for? It cannot be interacted with, but it's different so to me that tells me it could have some special meaning or purpose.

Honestly I don't quite understand what the whole exercise was for, since it didn't appear that the bodies could be interacted with either, but I didn't try to drain the water without first pulling the switch so I can't tell if it really is just an interesting diversion or an integral part of that scene.

I still suck and can't kill enemy heroes even though I have +130 damage (or more). What can I do?

Can anyone explain what this fast-foward prompt means?

I jumped in on the BNK-3R quest of "Where Angels fear to tread" with friends in co-op before I got to that point in my own game.  When I accepted the quest for "Angels" from Roland it prompted me to fast foward through parts of the mission i already completed.  I said yes but I don't understand what saying "yes" did and if i should say "no" in the future.
