texts: I'm trying to place a buy order for an item on the steam community market (it's a specific weapon/skin for CS:GO) but there isn't any of the item coming up in the search. Usually what I would do is find the item in the search, open the item page then place a buy order for whatever price I want - but since there's currently 0 for sale I can't open the page for the item and hence I can't place a buy order. Is there some other method to place a buy order?


texts:
I have many games that I've redeemed on the xbox live marketplace (thanks in large part to the Games with Gold program), but I have not downloaded these items so they are not in my "download history" or "my games" on my console. I want to keep track of the content I have access to, but I cannot find a list of items that I have redeemed/purchased. My purchase history on the xbox transaction history page is blank as is that for my Microsoft transaction history aside from gold membership renewal and some points to currency conversion. I know that I have successfully redeemed items because viewing the pages of some redeemed items gives me the option to download to my console and states a purchased date.

Playstation Store provides a full history of all digital item transactions. Most digital items redeemed through Nintendo are at least added to the registered product list. Does Microsoft provide any equivalent form of purchase history and how do I get there?

I am aware that I could go through every games with gold released and check my ownership one-by-one, but that does not include items purchased or redeemed outside of that program. I could go through every item ever released on Xbox 360 or Xbox One individually to compile a complete list myself, but that seems to be an immense waste of time when I clearly don't own a large percentage of those items and such a list should conceivably already exist in the form of a purchase history.


texts:
I am kind of new to using command blocks (especially NBT tags) but i want a thrown item to follow me and i tried to make an item (stone) have passenger XPOrb but i kept getting unbalanced square brackets and curly brackets and the command block is confusing me. Here's the command :

summon Item ~ ~1 ~ {CustomName:"Bob",CustomNameVisible:1,Item:{id:stone,Count:1},PickupDelay:1000,{Passengers:[{id:"XPOrb"}]}

I believe its just the end bracket but when i activate the command block i get this error :

[13:13:30] Data tag parsing failed: Unbalanced brackets: {CustomName:"Bob",CustomNameVisible:1,Item:{id:stone,Count:1},PickupDelay:1000,{Passengers:[{id:"XPOrb"}]}

I am very confused but i understand the problem it's just that the fix isn't working. The command itself may even be corrupt for all i know.


texts: How could disabling sound increase framerate?

texts:
I was reading about frame rate on the Minecraft wiki and saw this:

  Increasing FPS

  Disable sound effects. This is particularly effective when near a large amount of sound-producing blocks (lava, flowing water) or mobs.

I tested this myself near both lava and flowing water, and near a mob farm. I couldn't notice any difference in the framerate with sounds turned off compared to sounds turned on.

In theory, how could turning off sounds effect framerate?

texts: Do Salmon Run matches change difficulty when players drop?

texts:
I was recently doing a Salmon Run where a player disconnected early on during the match. Shortly after, my team was overrun, which I didn't find too surprising. What I did find surprising though was seeing the Grizzco give me a pay-cut because of the early loss, even when we were seemingly fighting with a fairly significant disadvantage.

When someone drops from a Salmon Run, does the game adjust the difficulty, and is it instant or after the next wave starts? Or does losing a team member mean you've got a handicap for the rest of this match?

texts: How do I get a lower natural regeneration rate?

texts:
So, for my PvP arena I used to have a command:

effect @a minecraft:saturation 1000000 20 true

... which runs constantly to keep the hunger bar full, so that natural regeneration slowly regenerates health.
However, if do it in the latest snapshot, this effect breaks with the new food system and instead it regenerates health at a ridiculous rate (1 heart per second), even if saturation is at level 1.

Is there any way I can keep the hunger up, but with a lower regeneration rate than the one that has been introduced in the 1.9 snapshots?


texts: Modern Wafare 3 Spec Ops Split Screen Difficulties

texts:
I was playing spec ops split screen with my house mate, I played on Veteran and he played on regular. He was on level one and I was on 36. When we were about to start the mission a pop-up message would say his progress would not be saved because he hasnt reach the specific level to unlock this spec op. Anyway we continued and once we completed the mission I was awarded 1 star when I expected three!?! and he was awarded no stars.

Was I awarded one star because he played on regular or because he had not unlocked that specific mission yet? Does the awarding of stars correspond to lowest difficulty setting selected?


texts: How do I get into the room with the star above it?

texts: In Vegetable Valley, above the room where you fight the tree boss, there is a door with a Star above it (it is circled in yellow in the picture below). For me, this room is all boarded up. How do I get inside?


texts: Can dual wielding be an effective strategy?

texts:
Every time I attempt dual wield weapons it doesn't go very well. I find it impossible to defend myself, especially when there is no way of lessening the blow of an incoming power attack.

The extra damage output you can get from dual wielding weapons just doesn't seem worth the extra vulnerability to me, although I don't know if this is because of my play style.

So I guess what I am asking is, is there a way to make dual-wielding an effective strategy for the core combat spec of a character? Or is it merely something that's a fun little add on to play around with every now and again?

texts:
This question is very close to this: How does Super Training work?, but I would like to know one thing in particular: Does leveling your pokemon also reduce the amount of super training one can complete?

I would assume that EV training does, but using the newly-upgraded EXP share (that now affects your entire team), could I accidentally cut how much EV I can accomplish? My friend was playing for a while, and he saw that, although he hadn't done any Super Training, some of the green bar on the right had filled. I don't think he was thinking of EV impacting it (it was on one of his main fighters that he noticed this), but I would like to be sure just in case.

texts: What is the average stat change after Pokemon Evolution?

texts:
There's a pokemon I think should  evolve, so I'm making my own fake one, and I'm doing everything about it, like base stats and move pool and all.

So what I want to know is how much does each base stat change after a pokemon evolves.

For example, Bulbasaur has base stats of 45 49 49 65 65 45. Ivysaur's base stats are 60 62 63 80 80 60 and the differnces are 15 14 15 15 15 15. What I want to know is the average change across all Pokemon using this method of calculation.

texts: How are treasure goblin locations determined?

texts: I have played through Act 1 inferno more times than I can count. I've noticed that treasure goblins seem to reappear in similar areas. Their locations don't seem to be entirely random. For example, every time I've found a treasure goblin in the Forsaken Woods, he is always somewhere on the left side of the map, near the forest edge. The same can be said for the ones I've found in other areas of Act 1 as well. The exact spot they appear varies somewhat, but the actual location seems to be fairly uniform. I think it's pretty obvious that their locations may be predetermined. So my question is: are there spots where treasure goblins are more likely to appear? If so, where? Are there any other factors that may cause them to be more likely to appear?


texts:
Being Zerg, apparently the official counter against Thors and Hellions with blue flame is Zerglings, Roachs, or Infestors.  I'm not mentioning Broodlords at end game, of course.

send the Zerglings
good fungals
ultimately mind control the Thors

I'm a platinum player, and this seems to be much harder to manage than Thors & Hellions.

So my true question is: What is the effective counter for platinum level play?


texts: PS4 black ops 3 campaign - what do the different color boxes mean by mission name?

texts:
So, I've been playing through campaign on PS4 and one day when "resuming campaign"  it tried to make me replay the "Hypocenter" mission which I had finished earlier.  I quit out and went to the next mission "Vengeance" (which was unlocked). I have noticed now, in the mission select screen, that all the missions up to "Hypocenter" have a green box by the name, while the ones I've done after have a grey square with an X.  Any time now I try to restart mission the games thing I'm still at "Hypocenter".

Did I screw something up?  Anybody know exactly what these boxes mean?

Thank you

EDIT:  Just realized I have not been getting trophies for the missions since Hypocenter.

texts: What are the penalties associated with various crimes?

texts:
UESP has this list of illegal actions one can perform:

  Stealing items or horses
  Pickpocketing (although just looking at someone's inventory is not a

  Lockpicking
  Killing farm animals
  Trespassing
  Starting a fight (but not a brawl)
  Killing a non-aggressive character
  Dropping a weapon outdoors in a major city can result in a warning
  from a guard, refusing to pick it up will result in a bounty
  Transforming into werewolf form in public will give a 1000 gold
  bounty
  Eating a corpse by using the Ring of Namira
  Shouting in a town may result in a warning from a guard.

However, they don't specify what bounty is associated with every action.  Does anyone have this information, or could they build and provide it?

So in the game, in my region there are several abandoned cities. I tried to claim it but it says there is content that I don't own when the city was created. I don't understand what this is because I have purchased everything.

What's the problem here? Is it a bug?

texts: What causes the trade window to be grayed out in the Trading Post?

texts:
I started playing Banished today, and I'm having problems with the Trading Post.  The last two ships to come to the Trading Post, I have been unable to trade with.  The ship currently at my dock has cattle for sale, and I have over 3000 food (corn, peppers, and fish) available to barter.

For some reason, the right hand side of the trade window is grayed out.  My desired inventory matches my inventory on hand, so I know its not that.  At first, I blamed my workers, but even after adding more workers, I can't get the right side of the trade window to enable.

I have checked the in game help system, as well as the wiki, but I've not been able to find an answer.  Any ideas what is going on with my trading post?

Now I have problems getting cats through the Nether: they won't teleport to the Nether (and that's fine) nor they will teleport to me once I'm back to the overworld, like wolves used to do IIRC.

Is this normal cat behaviour? Is this normal behaviour for all tamed beasts now? Or are they somehow bugged? (obviously they are not in sitting stance)

Can I bring my cats with me, other than travelling solely via overworld?

(ps: we're talking about multiplayer here, just in case there still are differences with the single player)

texts: If multiple systems have an available trade route, which one gets the route?

texts:
In Endless Space, trade routes are set up automatically once a new planet is available to trade with: you're at peace with a race and explore a new planet among that peaceful race, or you become at peace with a race that you were previously in Cold War with.

How does Endless Space decide which of your systems gets the new trade route, if multiple systems qualify for it? If one system's trading capabilities change, by building a new system improvement to give +20% trading effects, or assigning a hero who's good at trading, can that system steal trade routes from other systems in your empire? If you have a system that's fantastic at trading (lots of improvements, huge population and economy, etc.), but has used up all of its available trade routes, and you build an improvement that grants an additional trade route, will it steal a route from one of your less-trade-y systems and thus make you fantastically rich?

Is it calculated based on the damage it would have done to the Genji, or is it recalculated after being deflected?

Some examples:

A Widowmaker shoots at Genji's head, but he reflects it into her torso. Critical hit or no?
An opponent is damage-boosted by Mercy and shoots at Genji, is the reflected projectile damage-boosted? (actually answered here) How about if it was the Genji that was being damage-boosted instead?
What if Genji has an orb of discord when he deflects?

Anyone feel free to add any scenarios to this question.

I have strong guesses about how each of these would behave, but no conclusive evidence.

texts: How do I ensure that the Ebony Blades I have are powered-up if I used console commands to procure them?

texts:
Background info on why I am asking this:

I used console commands to give myself the Ebony Blade, and murdered multiple clones of my spouse (through the player.placeatme console command) to power up (increase the Absorb Health effect of) the Ebony Blade. I wasn't sure that the Ebony Blade was being powered-up so I checked out UESP's article about it which stated that "For every two such NPCs that are killed with the blade, Mephala will speak to you". Mephala never spoke to me while I did the killing, so I finished the Ebony Blade's related quest (The Whispering Door) without using console commands and got the Ebony Blade the normal way.

I then again proceeded to murder multiple clones of my spouse and this time, Mephala spoke to me every two kills. After I fully powered-up the blade (verified through the console command, sqv da08ebonybladetracking as suggested by the UESP article on the Ebony Blade), I realized that I still have my console command-procured Ebony Blade. So now, I have two Ebony Blades.

Since the game doesn't state how much 'Absorb Health' effect the Ebony Blades have, I am unsure if both weapons are powered-up. I also would like to know if further Ebony Blades I add through console commands will be powered up as I would like my follower(s) to use the Ebony Blade too.

Note: I have the Unofficial Skyrim Patch (USKP) installed which fixes bugs related to the Ebony Blade. USKP changelog here (search for 'Ebony Blade' to find its related fixes)

My questions:

Are both Ebony Blades powered up?
If I add another Ebony Blade through console commands, will that Ebony Blade also be powered up? If not, how do I power it up? Do I have to kill people again per console command-added Ebony Blade?
If I give a console command-procured Ebony Blade to a follower, will that Ebony Blade also be powered-up?

texts: Is there any difference between a brahmin feed trough and a bathtub?

texts:
The brahmin feed trough looks the same as a bathtub, but they seem to be distinct items as far as the game is concerned.

I am thinking of doing an experiment at Sanctuary where I store my brahmin feed trough in the workshop and give them a bathtub from one of the empty houses.

Has anyone already tried this?

Can a bathtub be substituted for a feed trough?

(The same question has been asked at gamefaqs but not answered, and I found a reddit thread that mentions a bathtub, but it's not clear if the poster actually built a bathtub or is just being inaccurate and is referring to the feed trough).

texts: What does turning off mob griefing actually do?

texts:
In Minecraft, there are several commands that can be employed to make the game a little easier, without actually affecting the difficulty, such as /keepInventory and /mobGriefing.

However, what does /mobGriefing actually affect? The main things are creeper explosions, and Endermen picking up blocks, but does it affect any thing else? For example, would this affect farms, if a mob jumped on farmland? And does it affect hostile mobs only, or all mobs?


texts: What Landmark am I missing in the Emerald Graves?

texts:
I have run up and down the map a dozen times now, I've been pretty much everywhere but I simply can't find the last landmark that I am missing. I've included a screenshot of my map, so if somebody has completed the entire map, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could point out where the landmark I'm missing is located at.

Sadly enough, it doesn't seem like anybody has made a landmark guide yet, hence me having to ask the question.

texts:
I am a Zerg, and after a lot of sweating on battle.net I managed to get to the point where I survive with minimal losses to a number of rush waves.

My problem is that once I have enough resources to start massing advanced units I just don't know what to do!

Just as an example, lately I've been experimenting with loads of Mutas and a bunch of broodlords but getting obliterated by massed Hydras.

Can more experienced players provide examples of late-game strategies against different races?

Any input appreciated.


texts: What's highest speed at which I could possibly travel?

texts:
I'm trying to determine (preferably in %, where 100% is the standard speed for the Pyro, Spy, Engineer, and Sniper) the highest possible speed at which I could travel in TF2 (on a VAC-secure server, so without cheats).

So far, I've got: A Demoman charging (250%) with 4 heads on the Eyelander (+30%), whilst being whipped with the Disciplinary Action (+37.5%) having just won a round (say, of KOTH) (+10%), totaling 327.5%. Also, a Medic, with the Quick Fix, healing this person, would match this speed. Is this the highest possible theoretical speed for any given TF2 class in any situation?

Edit: to avoid stupidly-high speeds (and because it's not very useful), I'm only considering running speed (so sticky jumping, rocket jumping, any kind of jumping doesn't count).

I could easily focus on more squashing if there is a reason to.

texts:
In warframe there is a mod for sentinels (I can't remember whether it was rare or uncommon, or whether I got it from nightmare mode or not) called "spare parts", and its description goes along the lines of "+X drop rate" (I don't remember what number it is, and it increases when it is upgraded). I have seen people requesting that their team have fully upgraded spare parts, but I don't understand exactly what drop rate means. (I use a deth cube, if it matters)

Does it increase the chance of enemies killed by the modded sentinel dropping mods/materials at all, does it increase the chance of those enemies to drop rarer mods and materials, or does it increase the rate/rarity of drops from the sentinel when it is destroyed? I wasn't aware that sentinels did drop pickups when they broke, but because the mod is named "spare parts", it makes me think that the sentinel itself will have more drops, plus it is applied to the sentinel itself, not whatever weapon it uses.

Also, does the mod affect your own weapons too, meaning that any kills you get with your sword/pistol/rifle also have increased drops? I haven't seen any drop rate mods for any other gear, so it would make sense to make the only drop rate modifier be universal. And if so, does the effect also apply to your entire team, and if a teammate's sentinel also has the mod, will it stack (ex: you have +5 drop rate + friend has +2.5 drop rate = team has +7.5 drop rate)?

texts:
It seems that games with software cursors only respond to actual mouse movement and not commands like MouseMove from AutoHotKey. Is there a way to get these unruly games to recognize commands that move the mouse via AutoHotKey?

I play on OnLive. This may matter because of the mechanism of the unique, cloud input delivery.
Other games accept mouse movement commands via AutoHotKey, but it may be because their pointer interface is based on the hardware cursor.

texts: Can a stranger do anything malicious if I add them as a user on my PS3?

texts:
I bought a digital download of a PS3 game on ebay, but instead of sending me a code or key or something, the seller gave me a Sony Entertainment Network username and password. His instructions were to create a new user, choosing this account for it, then download the game and then sign back in as me and play the game.

(This is all a bit shady, I thought, but the game was a good deal, and I don't mind a few hoops at the start if it's technically legit).

But can the seller do anything to my PS3 or saved games or my own account if I do this?

Can he just wait a few months (to avoid bad feedback) and then remove my access to the game by removing my PS3 from his account?

Edit: Got refund easily through eBay. Thanks everyone.

texts: How can I move my Mass Effect 2 save between Xboxes?

texts:
I know that when you beat the final boss of Mass Effect, the game made an "endgame" save that the player does not have access to.  To remedy this when Mass Effect 2 came out (and I had a new Xbox) I simply transferred over my last Mass Effect save before the last boss fight and beat it again to create an endgame save on my new system.

In Mass Effect 2, however, we can't transfer game saves (and I have yet another new Xbox).  I'm wondering if I can start up my most recent Mass Effect 2 save file on my old system, make a save to my flash drive, load the game from the flash drive on my new Xbox, and then make a save to the HDD on my new Xbox and load it in Mass Effect 3.  The only problem with this is if Mass Effect 2 generates an endgame save similar to how Mass Effect did or if I can't specify which storage device to save to.  Is there a way to change your storage device to save to when you've chosen a different storage device to load from?

I've continued playing ME:2 after the endgame (for the DLC missions) and don't have a save before the final mission anymore.  If ME:3 imports based on an endgame save of ME:2 then I think I'm screwed.  Does anyone know if ME:2 creates an endgame save?  If so, has anyone heard anything from BioWare about whether or not the ME:3 import system will be based on that save or if it is based on any save after you have beaten the final mission?

Edit: Resolved: The Xbox would not let me 'Copy' my game save to a new location, but I was able to 'Move' it to cloud storage.  Thank you Ktash for the suggestions (could have sworn I tried that).

texts: Does the ending choice depend on the player character?

texts:
I've finished Divinity: Original Sin II playing as Fane. I've initially agreed with Lucien to his plan regarding sealing the Veil and removing the Source from the world (only to make the final fight easier - otherwise you have to fight both Lucien and Braccus). However, after killing the final boss, you can decide the destiny of Veil - and for me some of the choices were locked off (some for obvious reasons - you can't rule with the Doctor if you've killed him), basically leaving me only with agreeing to Lucian's plan or releasing the Eternals and imprisoning all mortals.
If you play as another, pre-made character, is your choice also limited?

My wife and I play minecraft together over our LAN.  I always have to start up minecraft, start my Single Player game, select my world, then go and select to Open to LAN, and then Start LAN World.  It's tedious, and sometimes I forget, causing my wife to be unable to see the "server", and prodding me to start it up.

I would like to automate the process.  Is there a config file I can modify, or a batch script I can run that will always handle this process automatically?  Worst case, what about a series of shortcut keys I can setup in a keyboard macro?  Optimally, I'd be able to launch minecraft and start my world and have it immediately be open to LAN.  Is this possible?

texts: Do the /sit macro and/or mashing the X button work for the purposes of Paladin Reckoning? How?

texts:
Reckoning is a Paladin's ability in Classic/Vanilla World of Warcraft (1.13/1.12). When fully leveled, after being subject to a critical hit, the user gets a "reckoning stack", becoming entitled to an extra attack against the opponent when the Paladin starts auto-attacking.

On private pirated servers, abusing this mechanic was very easy: one simply needed to make a macro including a /sit command: a character gets critically hit if struck while sitting. That is why many guides written between the death of official Vanilla WoW suggest this as a strategy.

However, there are a lot of claims that this combo does not work, and was only a feature of private servers, which indeed implemented many things wrong. On real Classic/Vanilla servers, one has to repeatedly press the X button and be in standing animation while struck -- this is how it is described by most Paladin players correcting the "Reckoning stacking doesn't work" statements.

Now, my questions are:

Does either way of stacking Reckoning actually work in WoW Classic (1.13)?
If yes, how does one utilize it in PvP and PvE?
If yes, does one have to time the usage in a specific way? Does it require any training?


texts: How to avoid borderless window losing focus?

texts:
Whenever I move my mouse from left to the right quickly, the cursor walks out of the window onto my right screen. If I make a click in the moment before the application forces the cursor back to the window's center again, the application's window obviously loses focus.

I don't actually want to adjust the ingame sensitivity or my dpi to get around this, nor do I want to play in fullscreen mode (since I know my configurations and hardware are also used by the pros, and I don't think they have this problem either).

So what else can I do to avoid this happening?

texts: With Witch Doctor Mass Confusion, do elite affixes still affect you?

texts: When using the Witch Doctor "mass confusion" ability, it is possible to confuse elites into fighting on your side.  Many of them have AoE affixes like fire chains, arcane enchantment, mortar, etc.  I see the elites continue to use them even when confused, but there is so much chaos I can't really tell if I'm getting hurt by the ones that are confused.  It doesn't matter too much at my current level, but will start to matter more as I level up.  Do the AoE affixes of "confused" elites still hurt you?  If not, do they start hurting immediately after confusion wears off, or do they have to be reactivated.

I've been playing Red Dead Redemption multiplayer for years just fine until a four days ago.

I now see multiple weird problems such as:

Starting gang hideouts in free roam and having them complete after a few kills.
Connecting to game type seems to kick out other players, or lock up.
Sometimes when I connect to gang shoot out a see a small image of the scores all showing zeros and all other players are kicked out.
When I do connect very few other players seem to be around.
I can see the NPC locals wandering around (especially in Macfarlane's ranch) during gang shootouts.

all this makes on-line unplayable.  All the users on my ps3 are effected, I have tried re-installing RDR, deleting my local save game, creating a new user and trying that one, all to no avail.

I can play GTA5 on-line just fine, so I do not think it's my router.  Could this be a problem with my ps3?

Only seems to happen with these games. So far.

UPDATE 2:- Tried my games on a different playstation and everything worked fine. I haven't found any way to fix it.

It's mostly stuff like childrens toys, but I noticed one of the terminals at the Library itself had a copy of the Massachusets Journal of Surgery availiable. Sweet! Kids love anatomy!

So, anyways, it's clear that the various book-depositing-terminals offer different rewards at different prices. Where are all of the Overdue Library terminals, and which of them stock notable rewards, as opposed to standard wasteland junk, that I should be hoarding my Book Tokens to acquire?

Facing one of the bosses early in the game, I turned back to do some grinding. Walking around the map looking for trouble, I found several "Somethings" to investigate.

When grinding on, the orbs became rarer, but the monsters kept coming. I was able to level up, but I also spent my GD - and now I cant find a refill of GD points anywhere!

Do I have to face the boss with 0 GD points now? Or is there some source of GD or resting that can be used?

texts: Can a minecart junction automatically configure based on something chosen in the originating station without command blocks?

texts:
I've been building a somewhat large rail system and have started adding 3-way and 4-way junctions with redstone buttons to select the next direction and propel the minecart along. But that requires stopping and clicking on a button at each junction.

I began to wonder if there was a way to detect if the player had a specific item in their inventory which would automatically choose the right rail configuration to get them to a destination corresponding to that item. I have a feeling the answer is no but I'd be curious whether this has been tried and if it can be made to work using some other creative solution?

I understand that this can potentially be accomplished using command blocks, however we are not looking to start adding them (yet).  So I'm looking for a creative vanilla Java (currently 1.14.4) solution which allows making a choice somehow at the hub rail station based on what the ultimate destination will be, and having the junctions be able to configure correctly (left/right) to get the player there.  This will obviously tend to make the redstone complex and may not scale well so I'm thinking probably not more than a 5-10 destinations initially.  I could make some of those hub stations where the player could manually move to another hub, make another choice, and continue on if needed.

I'm mainly looking for the validation of a concept that might work, not the actual build steps.


texts: What are the effects of ramming with tanks and how to do it effectively?

texts:
I normally play German but I am encountering an increasing number of Russian players who get T-34's and ram my tanks with theirs or roll over my sniper before I can move them.  It is the worst when my tanks are rammed because it breaks my main gun and my engine.

When I decided to go Russian and try tank ramming tactics I found it is actually difficult and the few times I was able to hit German tanks their main gun didn't break.

Does ramming effects depend on the type of panzer you ram or the distance you tank drives prior to ramming? If so how can one effectively disable the main gun on a panzer with ramming?

This objective is detailed in this question, and appears to be a hopeless case. I recently got the above one (which I removed, since I wasn't ready for a growth of X+ people), but immediately after I got rid of it, I got the following:

  Have 1 Bald Dweller in the Vault

I already have two bald dwellers, but the objective doesn't trigger. I've tried sending one of them out to the wasteland and recalling, without success.

Waiting for a random bald dweller to show up could take a very long time, and isn't reliable. Another way would be to breed one, but I'm not sure if I can affect the hair of coming babies in any way (do boys inherit baldness from their father?).

Is there any clever way to complete this objective in reasonable time (through some trickery and/or breeding)?

texts: Minecraft 1.14 - how detect blocks at some distance from the player

texts:
This will be my first question here about some work I would do for a world that I'm creating. Let's jump into the question.
EASY MODE
I would be able to detect if player is in "range" of a specified block (aka mycelium). If the player has a distance of max 1, I need to spawn some particles around the player. For now, I found a tedious way to do this, but it's not covering all the cases. At the end, I post some images that explain the area mycelium should cover and cases when detection must work. ATTENTION: there is no single block of mycelium. Almost all the world will be covered in mycelium!
How I achieve that now?
For every direction, i have a commandblock checking for player, in a clock. For instance, to detect a player on the top of mycelium I used:
execute as @a at @s if block ~ ~-1 ~ minecraft:mycelium run particle minecraft:happy_villager ~ ~ ~ 1 1 1 1 10 force

This will repeat for every variation. So if I want to detect one step forward or backward, I'll do ~1 ~-1 ~ or ~-1 ~-1 ~, moving the X or the Z coordinate.
Making this for mycelium, it takes for now 5 commandblocks in the clock, and it's not covering, for example, the block above, the corners and the block near, since it will add 6 more commandblocks.
So i started experimenting
I know there is a property of objects, called distance. I tried to put @a[distance=..3] or @s[distance=..3], but the command just stops to work.
And now I'm here
Since I lost many of my time searching, and since is all very confusing because of the 1.13/1.12/1.8 versions, I decided to post an official question.
FINAL OBJECTIVE (put all things I wanted to do toghether)
I want to detect if a mycelium block is 1 block away from the player, in every direction. If yes, I would be able to:

Play a sound sequence, made with other commandblocks, to that player (only for that player, or in that position)
Apply particle effect in that position
Poison and hurt the player

Mycelium will cover almost all the world, so I cannot test for only "specific" positions or make markers. EVERY single mycelium block must be detected, and if detected, must do that sequence of actions at least once.

texts:
I can never keep straight in my head all the situations when an X value is and isn't preserved in Slay the Spire. One such situation is when a card with an X-Cost Reinforced Body triggers Echo Form. My guess is that the Value of X would be preserved when the second copy of the card is played.

However, I recently came across a situation where if the value of X wasn't preserved it would have meant losing the run. So before deciding what to play I tried searching online for confirmation of how Echo Form works with X-Cost cards, but I couldn't find an answer. Since experimenting in that situation may have resulted in losing the run, I elected not to let me X-Cost trigger Echo Form.

For next time, though, I'm hoping to get a definite answer to this question that I can easily reference when my memory fails me.

When activating X-Cost cards with Echo Form, is the value of X preserved?

texts: How to choose save device for downloads on Xbox Live

texts:
When you start a download on Xbox Live from your console it will automatically download to the HDD(Hard drive). If there is no space on the drive, it allows you to choose a different storage device, providing there is space.

So, where's the option to download to USB from the beginning?

Basically, I have a game on my USB. Inserting the USB brings up the game as a trial. So, I have to re-download the game from the marketplace. Although, instead of ipdating the USB, it will download to the HDD. If I place another download ahead of it, it should give me an option to download to a different device if there's space. Or if there isn't enough space on the HDD it will give me an option. So, there isn't an option to select a device first. Meaning, I have to clear space on the HDD, copy to the HDD from the USB, click download again. It will go from 1%-100% immediatly. Copy back to USB.


texts: Is Lemmings on Game Boy actually completable?

texts:
Feeling nostalgic, I decided to dig out my old copy of Lemmings on Game Boy. However, I soon remembered why I never completed the Mayhem section - level 4 appears to be completely impossible due to a bug in the game.

The full layout is the same as Fun 21 listed here. This time I get 14x Climber and 14x Digger. I need to save 14/14 Lemmings. But when the Lemmings climb up the spiral pattern, this happens:

The Lemmings fall through the platform! And unfortunately the fall is too high so they go splat. After ages trying to find a workaround, I found some levels codes online (above link). Incidentally many pages only gave codes up to this level so obviously had the same problem. I'm guessing the passwords I found were extracted from the game's code.

I was going fine until level 16, which also appears to be unsolveable. I am supposed to get a climber to loop round anti-clockwise from the top then left-to-right along the bottom and back up:

However, my climber cannot climb up those diamond objects - he climbs about halfway and falls back down. There are not enough Builders to bridge the gap. (I get: 1x Climber, 14x Floater, 3x Builder, 8x Basher, 3x Digger.)

So my question: Are these levels actually solvable? And is this a known issue with the game? I couldn't find any information online.

People on my friends list.  The person hosting the party isn't on my friend's list.  A quick scan of my friends list showed they were all either busy or different classes than the other person in the party.
Some kind of Party category. I've seen this listed on parties that don't have any of the "Urgent", "Serious play", etc. tags listed at all.
Private parties.  These have a little lock icon next to the player's name.
Cross-server parties.  These are denoted by the little flower next to the player's name.

What does this indicator actually mean?

So...

In this scenario, I have two artifact weapons.  One is a Rare [Blue] 4 Star Weapon, and the other is an Epic [Pink] 3 Star Weapon.  From what I have seen, you cannot upgrade a weapons stars nor rarity, but you can increase the level of the weapon.  At base, starting, value the Rare 4 Star vs Epic 3 Star - The Rare 4 Star has better stats than the 3 Star Epic.

So my question(s) is(are):

Should I be leveling my Artifact Weapons according to their Star Value or their Rarity?  And what are the major differences in these two sub-stats?

Internally I want to level the Epic Weapon because it is more rare and most likely (in my eyes) it has more potential than the Rare Weapon. But I do not have any proof or evidence backing that.

Any light you can shed on this is greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

EDIT: All pieces of Armor, including Shields, Weapons, and Rings are considered "Artifacts" in this game.

This makes sense when you are using the controllers, but when playing a game like Elite Dangerous - where I am using a Xbox One controller or HOTAS - there is no reason for them to be on.

The batteries are being drained for no reason because of this. Is there any way to turn them off other than removing the batteries?

I am currently working on a map. I met a trouble where I want to summon an item frame with some item which have data on it. Like example: Dragon Head, Chiseled Quartz Block. They don't have its own id, they need to add a data tag.

This is what I have tried:

/summon ItemFrame 2019 32 1060 {Facing:3,Item:{id:0397:5,Count:1}}

I know ids doesn't work on 1.9 so how to summon them? Please help.


texts: Is it possible to not have Mario as your leader?
