Can I fight lower level bosses in Genshin Impact?

Posted: 04 Sep 2021 04:08 AM PDT

I have recently completed a quest which has increased my World Level to 4. I didn't realise at the time that this would push all the boss monsters levels up to around 60 to 62.

I only have one lv60 character, and now I need to ascend other heroes I do not have the power to defeat the boss monsters to get the materials I need.

Have I locked myself out of being able to ascend my other characters? The materials I need are from lv30 bosses, but they're all lv62!

My team is this one, Keqing:60, Chongyun:50, Xingqiu:40, Bennett:49

I am trying to ascend them all up to 60 now to help, but the materials are proving nearly impossible to obtain

How old is Mario in this picture?

Posted: 04 Sep 2021 03:40 AM PDT

enter image description here

This is Mario Segale, the inspiration for the appearance of Nintendo's "Mario" character. There are only a few pictures of this man that I could find online, probably due to his privacy preferences.

Since this picture is the one I could find where he most obviously resembles his video game adaptation, I'm wondering how old he is in this picture, since Mario's (the video game) character's stated age on Wikipedia is 24-26. That seems much too low. I would like to think that whatever age Mario Segale is in this photograph should be the canonical age of his videogame namesake. So, does anyone know how old he is in this photograph?

Is it possible to turn off the HUD in Borderlands 1?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 10:06 PM PDT

I'm playing Borderlands: Game of the Year edition (not the enhanced version), and I'm wondering if there's a way to completely turn off the HUD, so I can get better screenshots.

There doesn't seem to be a keybind or setting in-game to turn off the HUD however. Is there a way to turn the HUD off at all?

What could be causing Roblox Experiences to fail to start?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 04:25 PM PDT

I have a problem where I cannot get Roblox Player to fully launch when trying to connect to an Experience (A game). After clicking the play button, the white box with the green progress bar and the Roblox logo pops up, but once it goes away, the Roblox process is basically killed (from what I see in the Task Manager). I can't figure out why this is happening. I've tried a lot of solutions suggested by the Roblox Support Team, myself, and other websites, but none of those solutions seem to work. I hope I do not need to wipe my system or re-install Windows I think this problem may require an advanced solution.

System specs:

  • GTX 1650 LP (4GB)
  • i5-4590 3.3GHz
  • 480gb Kingston SSD
  • 500gb WD HDD
  • 16gb RAM 1666MHz
  • (forgot my PSU)

OS: Windows 10 Pro. Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1202)

I currently do not have MSI Afterburner, nor the Rivatuner programs installed for my GPU which have interfered with other programs before.

If anyone needs more info like Logs or something, I'll gladly provide the information in a reply.

Is there any game similar to Empire: Total War? [closed]

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 11:13 AM PDT

I have been playing Empire Total War for a long time and it is one of my favourite games. However, I would like to see if I can play another similar game,in the sense of being able to control a country and interact with many other nations in a world wide map, where you can diplomatically interact and negotiate with the rest of the nations, form alliances, sign commerce treaties, or even declare war on them if necessary and sign peace treaties. A game where you can also control your units in the battlefield both in land and the sea. Also, it would be great if it would be based around the 18th-19th century, just as Empire: Total War is. Having in consideration all of this, is there any game that has all or almost all of these characteristics?

Does using the Walkie-talkie (general chat) attract the Ghost?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 09:57 AM PDT

With the new haunts, you cannot have you flashlight out (or any electronics) during a haunt, because it will attract the ghost to you.

So when playing, I started just doing small bursts of the walkie talkie, and if I hear some static, I know it's still haunting.

But thing is, does it attract ghosts to you? You are using an electrical device by doing that. Or, more importantly, if I do it and the ghost is close to one of my teammates, can it attract it to him?

What does the 'mouse cursor in a box' button do?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 09:24 AM PDT

When configuring touch controls on the Steam Link iOS app, there's a button in the bottom right of a white mouse cursor inside a box. Clicking it toggles whether the white mouse cursor is inside or outside the box.

What does this button of a mouse cursor inside a box do?

How can you summon an ender pearl that will teleport you?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 06:39 AM PDT

So I want to use command blocks to summon an ender pearl in a stasis chamber that will teleport me when I activate it. Thing is, I can't figure out how to make the pearl teleport me.

On reddit, I found a comment saying that this script: data modify entity @e[type=ender_pearl,limit=1,sort=nearest] Owner set from entity @s UUID

would make the pearl teleport you. I tried it, and it doesn't do anything. Is what I'm trying to achieve even possible?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Dungeons spawn under villages, myth or fact?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 03:06 PM PDT

I heard that dungeons spawn under villages in Minecraft bedrock edition, is this true or is this just a myth? Also if the data is available and they do spawn under villages what is the chance of it happening?

How do I get Forge mods and Iris & Sodium shaders at the same time in Minecraft 1.16.5?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 04:32 PM PDT

I want to play Minecraft with Iris Shaders (the Iris & Sodium version) whilst I have multiple other Forge mods installed. How do I do this?

Kill a person when he enters a certain location

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 01:03 PM PDT

I want the player targeted by this target selector to be killed, but for some reason it doesn't work. I'm sure the repeating command block is executing correctly, what could be wrong?

How does zombie spawning/mutation strength actually work in Civilization VI?

Posted: 04 Sep 2021 01:10 AM PDT

In the Civ VI New Frontier pass content you can play "Zombie defence mode", in which new Barbarian zombie units will spawn.

These zombies can spawn when a unit is killed by a zombie, when an undefended city is attacked by a zombie, and several turns after any unit has died there is a chance a zombie will spawn on the tile they died on.

But they seem to be spawning way faster than that in my current game. I also find that when a hostile zombie kills itself attacking a Friendly zombie (from the Twins Hero or Turn Undead), it spawns a fresh hostile zombie instantly, but if my Friendly zombie kills any unit, it does not spawn a zombie (Friendly or otherwise). I'm not sure if this is intended or a bug.

The zombies also have a "mutation strength" bonus to their Strength score, which I assume is to help them level up and stay a threat as the game progresses, but I am unsure how this is calculated, I couldn't find an explanation in the in-game Civilopedia. It's really running away in my current game, my 55 Strength units are facing +80 Mutation Strength zombies.

I understand that this is intended to be a difficult scenario, but it's weird that the zombies are acting in unexpected/unexplained ways.

How to change the playback speed of a clip in PS5’s media gallery, similar to what’s possible in PS4?

Posted: 04 Sep 2021 03:06 AM PDT

In PS4, whenever I view a clip I captured, I can fast forward or rewind by pressing either left/right or L2/R2, which would adjust the playback speed up to a maximum of 120x. However, in PS5, L2 and R2 don't seem to have any effect, while left/right would always jump by 10 seconds. Is this to be expected? Feels like a massive regression to me since when jumping by intervals of 10 seconds, I can't see exactly what was happening as the image is always frozen at the original frame, and I can't locate a specific passage of play as a result. The 10 seconds interval is also too coarse I want to see for multiple times one specific play which finished in e.g. 3 seconds.

Minecraft - Why am I not catching any Treasure Items?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 10:12 AM PDT

I followed the instructions on the MC wiki, namely:

In order to catch items in the treasure category, the bobber must be in open water. This is technically defined as the 5×4×5 vicinity around the bobber (2 blocks away horizontally, 2 blocks above the water surface, and 2 blocks deep). Each horizontal layer in this area must consist only of air and lily pads or water source blocks, waterlogged blocks without collision (such as signs or coral), and bubble columns. These conditions are checked every tick to determine if the player is eligible to receive treasure from a fishing attempt. If the conditions are not met, only items in the fish and junk categories can be obtained from fishing.

This is my fishing setup:

Image description

As you can see, the two layers below the water surface are pure water, 2 layers above are pure air and the shores (or any other blocks) are more than 2 blocks away from the bobber. I've also tried removing the boat just in case, even though it was out of range of the supposed 5x4x5 area.

I haven't been able to catch any treasure items after a long time trying (I've caught dozens of junk items). Is the info on the wiki wrong or am I understanding it incorrectly?

How do I make an item where when a player holds it, it runs a slash command or function in a Minecraft bedrock addon?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 07:07 AM PDT

I am trying to make a paintbrush to assist me and my friends build a city. My idea for the paintbrush is when held, it uses raycasting to place blocks where the entity is looking. I can't use scripting because one of my friends is on Xbox and can't use scripting for some reason. For the raycasting, I'm using a mcfunction. How do I run a slash command or function when a player holds a specific item in Minecraft bedrock? I think it's possible because it says in the Minecraft addon documentation entity events can call slash commands, other entity events, and MoLang. I'm attaching a picture of that section of the documentation so you can see what I mean. enter image description here Here is what the image says in case the image fails to load.

Events

Events consist of three categories, all represented by a string:

  • Entity events
  • Slash Commands
  • MoLang Expressions

In detail:

Entity Events: Server side (behavior packs) only. Currently, we only support entity events to self, and these take the form "@s event". These are events declared in the events section of the entity definition file. For example, in the cat.json, "minecraft:ageable_grow_up" event causes the kitten to grow up. This would take the form of "@s minecraft:ageable_grow_up"

Slash commands: Server side (behavior packs) only. Any slash command can be invoked, such as /particle minecraft:example_smoke_puff ~ ~ ~. The assumed entity for the slash command is the invoking entity, so this particular slash command will spawn a smoke puff effect at the entity's location.

MoLang Expressions: This executes a MoLang expression. The primary usage is to set MoLang variables that can be used later. For example, a state transition might be looking at a particluar MoLang variable, and this expression could change that variable. A particle effect on the entity might change color due to MoLang variables that the effect uses for color tints. An animation to move an arm might use a MoLang variable that was set by an animation event.

// entity event (behavior packs only), put the particular event name`  after the @s "@s minecraft:entity_event"    // slash command (behavior packs only), can be any server-side slash  command // is invoked from the entity, so a teleport, for example,  will teleport the entity by default "/tell @a this is a message"`    // MoLang Expressions, executes a molang expression on the entity  "variable.something_to_set = 3;"

Am I misunderstanding? If not, how do I do this? If any of this is unclear to you please ask questions in the comments. Thanks!

How many Zombie maps are there in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 1?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 06:22 PM PDT

I love COD: Black Ops, especially Zombie Mode. But to start out with, there's only one map you can play, Kino Der Toten. So I used cheat codes to unlock The maps Five and Dead Ops Arcade. And those maps are really fun. But are there any more that you can play? If so, can you unlock them with cheat codes to?

Are these Zelda Oracle cartridges reproductions?

Posted: 04 Sep 2021 01:40 AM PDT

I've seen numerous eBay listings for the GameBoy Color Zelda games Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons with varying photos. As far as I can tell, only the ones with clear, grey shells and a convex top are real and the other variations (including GBA versions) are reproduction cartridges, but I can't seem to find any corroborating information (lack of proof is not proof).

Can anyone confirm if this is the case?

(Sometimes the cartridges say "Game" instead of "GameBoy" in the concave area, but not always. Also, sometimes the listing mentions a replacement shell but authentic motherboard, while most of the time they mention nothing at all—even checking the model-numbers doesn't seem to help.)





Likely real: Real



Presumed fakes: Fake1 Fake2 Fake3

Is there a meaning to the name YoRHa?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 01:08 PM PDT

I ve finished NieR Automata two days ago, and can't get enough of it.

I am reading a lot about the YoRHa project, ect... But I can't seems to find the meaning of the name itself.

It look like an acronym to me, but I have no clue of what it could be, or if it mean anything or if it is just a cool sounding name.

Why was the name YoRHa chosen, and if for a reason, what is it meaning?

Is Emily Kaldwin really Corvo's daughter?

Posted: 04 Sep 2021 04:09 AM PDT

From the very beginning of the game, Emily Kaldwin refers to Corvo Attano as "father", while Corvo refers to her as "Majesty", "Princess", and "my daughter".

From the first Dishonored, it is revealed that Corvo and Emily's mother — the late Empress — had a relationship that was much closer than that of an Empress and her Royal Protector, implying that they were lovers. However, I don't remember seeing any allusions that Emily was in fact Corvo's daughter.

What is the relationship between Corvo and Emily, really? Did Corvo adopt Emily after she had lost her mother? Or are they actually related by blood?

What can I do with trainer levels?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 07:10 PM PDT

I know I can only use the gym feature after hitting level 5, but are there any other privilege or rewards for the levels above 5?

For example, in Ingress, some items are only available for the higher level player. How about Pokemon Go?

What is the name of the music track that plays when you are low on health in Borderlands?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 10:10 PM PDT

In Borderlands, when you are low on health and there are lots of enemies, a dramatic Indian-sounding theme music comes on, with male vocals, drums and possibly a sitar.

Here is a video with the music, which starts at 1:49:

Does anyone know the name of that track? I can't find it online.

No easy missions left on Borderlands?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 10:14 PM PDT

I've played a few missions now and reached Level 13. However, I've only got 4 missions available at the moment, all of them are rated at Level 15 (Tough) or Level 14 (Hard).

Are there other, easier missions I can take on first or something?

What is the best way to deal with the Borg?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 08:16 AM PDT

I am on the fifth mission, which is the infiltrate a Borg vessel that retake some Isodesium they stole from me in the last mission. I have been given an 'Infinity Modulator' designed by Seven-of-Nine which uses the same weapon energy as the other Federation weapons (compression rifle, grenade launcher) but unfortunately I have run out of weapon energy and only have weapon crystals left.

The Borg have steadily adapted to all of my other guns one by one, and now are completely invincible to all of my attacks;

enter image description here

My AI squad mates all seem to have ammo but they only do a fraction of the damage that I do, so it takes them 4-5 shots per drone to take it down.

What is the best way to deal with the Borg when you have no weapon energy left for the infinity modulator weapon?

Getting "Unable to load Steam.dll" when trying to load Peggle Extreme

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 08:56 AM PDT

I installed a game called Peggle Extreme, a free game in the Steam web store, but when I tried to play it, it gave me an error:

Unable to load Steam.dll

  • I do not have this issue with any other games.
  • I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but to no avail; I still get the same error.
  • As far as I am aware, it has fully downloaded and ready to launch.

I was wondering if this is a widespread issue, or if it is just me.

I have attached a screenshot: Steam Screenshot of Error

Can I use a macro to leave a group?

Posted: 03 Sep 2021 04:27 PM PDT

If I join a pick-up group, I generally try to see the dungeon or raid through to the end, but sometimes circumstances make that impossible. Maybe my guild is convening for a raid, or maybe I haven't paid as much attention to the clock as I should have, so I need to hearth out and list my items on the AH before quitting for the day.

In circumstances like these, it'd be handy to have a button that simultaneously announces that I'm leaving, apologizes, and explains that I have to go do something else before dropping me from the group and activating my hearthstone (which I can then choose to either permit to complete the cast, or move to interrupt as needed).

The explanation/apology part is easy; I just include two lines prefaced with /p as normal. Is there a command to leave the party, though? I tried this:

/p I'm so sorry, but my wife needs me to leave, so I'm going to have to stop here.  /p Thanks again for grouping with me.  /leaveparty  /leave

Neither /leaveparty nor /leave accomplished anything, though. Any ideas what I should do instead? How about for activating my hearthstone?
