Posted: 27 May 2021 10:23 PM PDT

okay, easiest way to say this, I don't feel like paying 14 bucks for Universal Minecraft converter, and mcctoolchest is out of the question, that thing is ancient and doesn't do anything for current bedrock edition to java. does anyone know where I can find another? I know the answer is probably not, and I'm gonna have to go with the only choice shown. thanks!

Was Epic Games expected to give 2 free games today?

Posted: 27 May 2021 06:29 PM PDT

On polygon, when they announced that Among Us was the next free game, they said this.

"Over the next week, players can pick up the impostor-hunting multiplayer game and another free mystery game that Epic will unveil later on Thursday, at 6:30 p.m. EDT". I haven't seen another free game, did polygon mean next thursday? Was Epic games expected to give another one away today?

What is a perfect reload in Biomutant?

Posted: 28 May 2021 12:59 AM PDT

I found this piece of gear which has a reload perk on it which mentions a Perfect Reload.

Rapid-Fire - Succeeding a perfect Reload increases the rate of fire for the next magazine by 25%

The game hasn't explained to me what that is yet or how to perform it.

How do I perform a Perfect Reload?

Does Superhot Mind Control Delete include the base game?

Posted: 27 May 2021 04:14 PM PDT

I have heard that owners of the original Superhot got mind control delete free of charge. Do I need the original superhot to play mind control delete? Will I miss anything by buying Superhot: Mind Control Delete and not buying Superhot?

Why does steam forget my birthdate? [duplicate]

Posted: 27 May 2021 03:58 PM PDT

Whenever I visit a store page for an M-rated game, I am prompted with a warning asking my date-of-birth, to prove I'm old enough for the game. I understand this. What I don't understand is why it partially forgets my birthdate. It seems to remember the day and the year correctly, but not the month. What's going on here?

I am aware of this question which seems similar at first glance, but is not. I understand why steam has to ask me my birthdate every time, but I don't understand why it only partially remembers my birthdate. It gets the day and year correct, but the month always defaults to January.

Is it better to use an axe or sword in Minecraft?

Posted: 27 May 2021 09:59 AM PDT

I've recently started playing Minecraft, and I have been trying out some of the netherite tools, and I noticed that the axe does more damage, but it's slower than the sword. Does the axe get better in the long run, or why is the sword faster, and can it outclass the axe? Is there a reason why I see a lot of popular Minecraft YouTubers like Dream use axes in these places? It does seem unusual. I also saw a video by Technoblade saying that it would be more useful to use a sword, but I'm not exactly sure. Does the math add up, or is it a scam, and do people need to switch weapons? What weapon should I use?

How To Make My Custom Flower And Mobs Spawn In? (Bedrock Minecraft)

Posted: 27 May 2021 01:31 PM PDT

So I am using this free addon maker (it is pretty bad) and I am trying to my flower and custom mobs spawn in. However, as far as I travel, I never see one. Here is a link to the addon: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DXT8rWzbuAS-3lfPRsiFAJ2Avs0Fj1-J/view?usp=sharing

The folders that have the mobs and flowers are the ones in the ZIP file to make it easy. So if you can tell me what's wrong, that would help a lot! If you need any more information, ask me.

Here is proof I looked up the question and found no answer:

enter image description here

Please note my addon creator only allows the block to spawn on one type of block using the block filter, which won't work. Edit: I slightly increased the weight, and now they spawn in too much. I want them to be pretty rare but not like 0.01% chance rare. According to this site, https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn , mobs like cows have a 8 weight of spawn. My rarest entity has 1 weight. If somebody could just tell me a good weight, that's all I need. Edit: Bounty expiring soon! Answer fast!

Is there any way to gift a Geforce Now priority membership to someone account?

Posted: 27 May 2021 12:05 PM PDT

One of my friend is playing with US through Geforce Now. For his birthday we would like to gift him one year of Geforce Now:

screenshot of pay tier

I dont know if it is actually possible. Since it is a gift, we would like to avoid to just give him $100 directly (but we may end to). After looking a bit online, I found that it may be possible through google play gift card. I cant find a direct source though:

It must be an official way to buy one because I found a redeem page:

So is there any official way to gift a Geforce Now priority membership to their account?

Where is the cut-off point for the Dragon's Homecoming Ending?

Posted: 27 May 2021 08:02 AM PDT

The Dragon's Homecoming Ending is the most convoluted of all the Sekiro Endings, requiring multiple interactions with all characters, to get specific items in a particular order, so that you have everything you need for the choice after the final boss battle.

The part I'm having trouble with is keeping track of when the cut-off points are for the interactions with Kuro (eavesdropping) and Emma to track down the appropriate information in order to gain access to the Frozen Tears item. For example, in my current playthrough I have completed the Sacred Realm area (Fountainhead Palace, and defeated the Sakura Dragon), I have all the Shinobi tools (though not all upgraded), I have received the rice balls from Kuro, but I have not done anything to gain access to the "investigation" with Emma, or eavesdropped on Kuro yet.

What is the trigger/point of no return for this side-quest to achieve this ending?

Fallout 4 - Materials not being shared

Posted: 27 May 2021 01:01 PM PDT

I have the Local Leader perk installed and have been enjoying building up settlements all over the Commonwealth & the Island, sharing the resources though supply lines. Recently I noticed though that some of my settlements are not actually sharing materials. For example, I have 2 shipments of concrete in the workbench at Sanctuary, which is connected to all settlements:

enter image description here

But I am unable to build anything with concrete at Longfellow's Cabin & Dalton's Farm (both on the Island). I thought at somepoint that both these Island settlements were connected to the rest of the grid but it appears they are not. I just started building up Longfellow's Cabin, and assigned him to the Supply Line duty, but it appears there is no concrete shipment avaialable (I actually cant build anything out of concrete).

So my questions are:

  1. Is the Island actually capable of being connected to the Commonwealth through supply lines?
  2. What can I do to make sure settlements are actually connected?

How to get past a locked door in Fort Hagen Command Center?

Posted: 27 May 2021 04:30 PM PDT

I'm playing through Fallout 4 again, and I've come across a bug in the game that's preventing me from proceeding.

While playing the quest "Reunions", I fought my way through Fort Hagen, all the way down to just before the boss fight with Kellogg.

Just before I engaged him, I went back to Sanctuary to drop some stuff, rest up, and grab some gear. Now that I've returned, there is a locked gate just as you enter the Fort Hagen Command Center, down the hall to the right.

The gate was open before, and there are dead synths all over from the last time I was there, but there is no way to open this gate now. It's not controlled by a terminal or anything like that. In fact, I'm not sure I had to do anything special to open it before that I remember.

How do I get past this so I can fight Kellogg and complete the quest?

Words with Friends some opponents’ letters in tile bag others aren’t

Posted: 27 May 2021 05:02 PM PDT

Against some opponents no matter how many games I am playing their tiles don't appear in the tile bag, nor mine in theirs, although when we started they did. Other opponents' tiles do appear. Why is this? Would actually prefer if the former were the case for all. Is this possible?

How can I collect the NeoGate tech point?

Posted: 27 May 2021 11:04 AM PDT

I am trying to get the tech point located in a vent at the NeoGate building just north east of Angel tube station in the north eastern part of the map.

NeoGate building map location

It's located near a vent grate, but I do not get a prompt to pick it up. As usually there is a prompt to press y button to collect it.

NeoGate tech point no prompt

Is this tech point bugged? How can I reset the buildings state in order to try again?

How can I raise only my men-at-arms?

Posted: 27 May 2021 03:30 PM PDT

Now that I'm getting closer to forming an empire in my first CK3 campaign, I've noticed that I tend to have more levies than I really need for most wars. Raising them all takes time, keeping them raised costs money, they tend to cause unnecessary attrition and they're not even that good in battles. My knights and men-at-arms just seem more cost-effective. But there doesn't seem to be any button in the interface for only raising them.

I know I can raise all my troops, wait for them to assemble, and then split the army manually and dismiss the half with all the levies in it. But that's really slow and awkward, and dismissing the levies incurs an additional (though minor) time penalty before I can raise them again, should I decide that I need them after all. I can't believe that's the best or only way.

Is there some way to tell CK3 to only raise your knights and men-at-arms? (And possibly a small amount of levies to serve as meat shields?)

Bonus points for an easy way to choose which men-at-arms to raise — if my enemy has nothing but light footmen and no spearmen, I might as well not raise my token heavies since they'll just get countered. And sometimes all I want is my siege units.

Minecraft won't open, crashes as soon as I launch it with an Ubuntu VM

Posted: 28 May 2021 12:06 AM PDT

I am trying to load minecraft 1.8.8 on an Ubuntu virtual machine, however everytime I load it it immediately crashes, doesn't give me a crash report or anything, it just says 'Exit code: 0'. I am giving it 2 GB of ram, and people are saying that should be enough so I am really not sure what's wrong.

My JVM arguments: -Xmx2G -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20 -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=32M

My Ubuntu version: 20.04.1

Can I transfer my Nintendo Switch Account to a new owner?

Posted: 27 May 2021 10:14 AM PDT

I am selling my Nintendo Switch soon. I see that I can change my email on my account. I know that digital games brought through my switch account is linked to my account and my device.

However, I am wondering if I can just change my email on my Nintendo account to the new owner and change the password to the new owner? I don't have any payment options linked to my account or device, and I know the new owner well enough to trust them. So could this work for when I sell my device?

I do not have any other Switches or Nintendo products, so I don't care about my Nintendo account, I would just basically give it to the new owner.

Has anybody tried this?

Help identifying this Pokemon-like character

Posted: 27 May 2021 04:10 PM PDT

I received a mixed bag of Pokemon figurines with varying degrees of accuracy with regards to their colour and appendages. All but one of them I have been able to identify, and my conclusion is that while it looks like a pokemon, I don't think it is.

Imgur Imgur Imgur Imgur

Is someone able to identify the character? As it was in a mixed bag of Pokemon characters, I figure the chances are that the factory produced characters from a number of game franchises, and this one got mixed in. I'm also open to the fact that it might be a Pokemon and I have a gap in my knowledge.

Here's an example of the pokemon figurines received at the same time, in which this mystery figure was found:

How to reduce Roblox lag on a possibly Potato PC

Posted: 27 May 2021 07:37 AM PDT

I'm looking for ways to further reduce/remove lag from my possibly potato PC. I did reduce most of the quality settings from the Roblox studio, and only plays games on lowest possible settings. But, at 9am in Korea, it runs at 100~200 pings, and during the evening it jumps to 2000~3000 pings.

Is there a way to fix this morning and evening gap of lag? As only in the evening am I able to play, and having literal 5 second delay disables gameplay whatsoever. This wouldn't matter so much if it was mostly things like Obbies, but this is for Rogue Lineage, a game where timing and quick response is key.

Is there a way I can further reduce lag on my PC? And please keep the "upgrade your PC" opinion to the minimum, as it is not a very viable option for me.

My PC specs are:

  • Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz
  • RAM: 4.00GB (3.48 Available)
  • System: 32 Bit, x64 based processor

(This was all translated from Korean to English, so ask me to provide further information in the comments.) EDIT: Thanks! But can you provide further information of about what level of graphics is the golden spot? Also, yes, it's like its on a timer, only during evenings does it jump to 2k ping. During about 11, it's only 90. If this is a network problem, is there a way I can make it better? I'm just a kid so...

Is Louise doomed, or can I save her?

Posted: 28 May 2021 03:52 AM PDT

Currently on Chapter 4, and while exploring around some of the abandoned houses in the West End, I found a house broken open with blood stains everywhere. On walking in, my character remarked on the blood, and a quest called "Like Father, Like Daughter" was added to my log with an accompanying 'citizen in peril' (the head with an exclamation point) icon on my map in a very out-of-the-way location - the kind that means you need to save them tonight or they're gone for good.

Looking it up, it seems the character is Louise Teasdale and she's trapped in the sewers. I really want to rescue her, but all the game guides seem to suggest I should be exploring the sewers during Chapter 5 and first encountering her then.

This leaves me with two questions: A) can I explore the West End sewers now and rescue her in Chapter 4? and B) if I can't, will progressing the game until chapter 5 without manually resting count as going to a new night (and cause her death), or can I make it to Chapter 5 and rescue her then?

How does the Rifleman daily mission work?

Posted: 27 May 2021 10:04 PM PDT

In the War Clicks game, there is a daily mission called Rifleman, which has the following text:

Fight your enemies and do at least 2500 clicks to complete today's mission.

How does this work?

More specifically:

  • Which enemies count? Regular battles? Boss battles? Invasion?
  • Do autoclicks count? Support clicks? Or just manual clicks?

This matters because in War Clicks you get to choose from two daily missions to attempt. So it's important to know how difficult each daily mission is to achieve.

How come Cobalion and Virizion won't spawn in Omega Ruby?

Posted: 27 May 2021 01:29 PM PDT

I have completed the game and I have 4 legendaries to catch.

These were Cresselia and the 3 deer trio, which are Terrakion, Cobalion, and Virizion.

I have 3 Pokemon with max EV and I caught Terrakion on a Tuesday. A day later when I went back to the portal to them, which was when Cobalion was meant to be there, nothing happened.

I waited a day later and still, nothing happened. It just keeps saying that "a mysterious ring is floating in the air."

Please help, because I really want to catch Cobalion and Virizion and it isn't working!

Why do elite captains walk away instead of killing me?

Posted: 27 May 2021 02:37 PM PDT

In an attempt to get a captain promoted to warchief I tried to get myself killed by an elite captain (the last row before the warchiefs), as a comment to this answer suggests. However, when I was beaten, the captain simply walked away saying something about me not being worthy enough for him (if I remember correctly).

At first I thought I made it too easy by not fighting back at all, but I tried it with another elite captain and the first one a second time, hitting them a few times and reducing their health bar before getting killed. But again, both just walked away from the fight and "teleported" to another area. The elite captain I fought twice only said something like "how does it feel being beaten a second time?" and walked away.

When time passes and the changes are shown in Sauron's army, they also don't get a power increase for defeating me.

Why do they decide to let me live? Is this to prevent them from being promoted to warchief?

What affects Blackjack gameplay in Fallout: New Vegas?

Posted: 28 May 2021 12:39 AM PDT

What specifics do we know, if any, about the blackjack implementation in Fallout New Vegas? Specifically:

  • How does luck modify the game? (Does it modify the odds of you getting a card you need, one which won't bust you, etc.? Does it modify the odds of the dealer pulling a bust card, etc.?)

  • Do we know if the implementation plays with a standard deck or a multi-deck shoe? If so, how many decks at each venue?

  • Am I imagining things or does it seem like if you and the dealer tie, but you have a soft score (ace as 11), the dealer wins? Sometimes the game moves too quickly for me to clearly see the cards from my couch, so I'm not sure if this is the case or I'm miscounting as the cards flip across the screen -- especially as the dealer plays. :)
