Would you recommend the Halo-Master chief collection for a 16 year old?

Posted: 27 Oct 2021 03:01 AM PDT

So the title says it all. Would you recommend the collection for a 16 year old, and no, I am not soliciting opinion, but rather I want to know about any mature content in all of the 4 games.

I checked ESRB and while it shows mature(i.e. 17+), the description is basically blood and gore(like which games don't have it these days), but nothing explicit. PEGI rates it at 16(though it is much better than ESRB in explaining how mature it is specifically). But, I still want to hear what others have to say

So, I just want to hear, plain and simple, that would you, after having played these 4 games yourself, recommend it to a teenager(keeping in mind that it does not harm him intellectually or rather, doesn't trouble me knowing what game have I got for this teenager)?

Thanks

P.S. Asked and answered on Reddit, but having a more professional view (from SE) is better

Policy card effectiveness timing

Posted: 26 Oct 2021 10:26 PM PDT

How do policies work with respect to timing in these instances:

A policy card like newly trained builders get 2 extra build actions: To get the benefit, does the policy need to be active when construction of a builder is started, completed, both? I suppose when completed/produced makes the most sense, but I have some doubt.

A policy card like +x production toward y: Do you need to have the policy in effect before you begin to produce y? Suppose you start producing a y with no related policy, then apply the policy part-way through, then inactivate the policy. Do you get the production bonus proportional to the time it was active, or does the policy need to be in effect when you start or finish production?

Does the "Azoth Attuned" bag mod work when you gain 1 azoth?

Posted: 26 Oct 2021 07:38 PM PDT

This bag mod gives you 3.0%-4.8% more azoth. However most azoth from gathering is gained 1 at a time, so does this bag mod even work for that case? Does it track decimal values of azoth without showing the player?

How can I setup a dedicated LAN server with no Internet connection?

Posted: 26 Oct 2021 06:56 PM PDT

A bit of background and equipment being used:

  • several laptops (all the same type);
  • a Router;
  • ethernet cables and wifi;
  • no Internet.

What I have managed so far with the same setup: Unreal 2004 - multiple players, NO INTERNET, wifi and ethernet connections to the router. This works great.

Now trying this same setup with Team Fortress 2:

Today I spent a few hours trying to run TF2 using the same methodology but failed. Main laptop is running Steam offline. I start TF2 and create a new server. Then on second laptop using wifi and running Steam offline, I try to find my server and the game - but cannot find it.

There has been a lot of other things I have tried, but I don't want to list them because maybe I missed something. Any help would be appreciated.

NOTE: I cannot connect to the network at work, which is why there is no Internet. That cannot be changed.

How would I point a specific page in a domain to my Minecraft server?

Posted: 26 Oct 2021 02:46 PM PDT

I have the domain jcc.lol in AWS Route53. I have a Minecraft server on port 25565 forwarded to my public IP address which I will not include in this question. Currently, server.jcc.lol points to my public IP address. When one joins the server "server.jcc.lol", everything works fine. Now I want it so that instead of being "server.jcc.lol", it is "jcc.lol/server". What I have already tried is running a webserver using Python Flask on jcc.lol. I programmed it to redirect the route /server to my public IP address. This did not work. When I ran everything and tried connecting to "jcc.lol/server", Minecraft told me that it was an invalid server. I tried running a traceroute to "jcc.lol/server". The results showed that it was being redirected back to my public IP address, which is exactly what I want. Why won't Minecraft connect to my server? What can I try? Am I missing something important?

Thanks!

Backing up game data from PS4 slim with blue light of death

Posted: 26 Oct 2021 10:37 AM PDT

My PS4 (it's a PS4 slim, to be more precise) is not turning on properly anymore and it has the "blue light of death" (BLOD). Whenever I try to start it up the screen stays black and I can't really interact with the device at all.

The warranty expired already long ago and Sony kindly offered to replace the device relatively cheaply, which would be cool except I'd loose all my game data (they would not fix my broken device but rather send me a different one) because, unfortunately, I was stupid and I have no backups. So before I send my PS4 slim to Sony, I would prefer to either (a) try to fix it myself or (b) somehow perform a game data backup.

I have done some research on what could cause the BLOD and found on youtube a tutorial about how to fix it if there is a problem with the heatsink clamp. An electronics-savvy friend of mine tried that with my PS4 but it did not work (guess the heatsink clamp was not the problem then).

Now my last idea is to try to access the PS4-internal hard drive from my Macbook in order to extract the game data. I have also done some online research about this but without success. Notice that RemotePlay does not work because I cannot even connect to my PS4 (for a manual connection I would have to enter a code that's shown on screen connected to the PS4, but as mentioned above, that screen stays black).

Does anyone have an idea how to:
(1) connect my Macbook with the PS4 slim via a cable
(2) access the game data on the PS4 hard drive
(3) store that data on my Macbook (or an external hard drive) in a way that I can push it back on a new PS4?

I am by no means a hacker (as in hacking into computer systems) but I'm a python programmer and no stranger to the console. So if there is a solution that requires me to go a bit deeper into the system, that should be ok. Any ideas?

Many thanks

How can I protect against or remove Doom once it's cast?

Posted: 26 Oct 2021 04:40 PM PDT

I am a Dragoon in Final Fantasy 14, and completed all job quests already. While fighting in a level 40 dungeon a while ago (I don't remember which and don't think it's relevant), the first or second boss (not the final boss) cast Doom on me. After a short while, my character instantly died. This was very frustrating, and somehow this didn't affect/kill the other party members. As it was a random party, I couldn't really ask them how they were protected or removed the status.

All my search attempts on Google gave unclear results, at best.

So, how can I be protected against Doom, or how can I remove it once it was already cast on me?

Can't connect to my Minecraft java or bedrock servers despite open ports but can connect locally

Posted: 26 Oct 2021 10:07 AM PDT

  • Java

I am hosting a minecraft server and I am able to connect to it using (localhost) but I can not connect to it publicly by using my public IP even though the 25565 port is forwarded, the minecraft server and javaaw is allowed through the firewall, I get the error io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused: no further information (MY PUBLIC IP)"

Edit: figured out how to fix this, see comment

  • bedrock

I have the exact same problem when trying to host a bedrock server (can't connect to server). once again I am able to connect locally using (192.168.1.2) the 19132 port is also open

Update: I found out through some research that it relies on Xbox thing and going into settings, gaming, Xbox networking, my nat says teredo is unable to qualify and server connectivity says blocked, I have not been able to fix this despite microsoft's help

- Very interestingly, people were able to join my server when I was running the android version through an emulator and using adb (adb connect localhost:5555) info on which here and here if you are curious

I have spent countless hours on trying to figure this out but at this point I am stuck, please help, thank you

How do I make custom blocks show up only in creative mode

Posted: 26 Oct 2021 12:05 PM PDT

I am trying to create a tardis/doctor who map, my idea is to make a bunch of custom blocks each the same colour with different opacity so I could use commands to make them fade, so I could make the tardis look like it was fading in and out

What I want to know is if I create a custom block is there anyway to keep that block hidden if the player is in survival mode? This is for bedrock edition, on android

Minecraft Java mouse delay

Posted: 26 Oct 2021 11:03 PM PDT

Ever since about a month ago I've had really bad mouse delay in Minecraft. I haven't changed any settings, installed any programs, nothing. The issue seems to be only Minecraft based, as all other games run fine with the mouse I have. I use a wireless mouse but I've tried to use a wired mouse to see if that helps and it still doesent. The problem only exist in game while moving around as when I go into my inventory and use my curser there seems to be no mouse delay at all. The problem still exist when I use Badlion/the normal launcher, I've updated my computer, changed settings according to other peoples mouse delay problems, changed servers, changed versions, but nothing seems to work.

How to change a Minecraft Bedrock Resource Pack, Into a Java Resource Pack

Posted: 26 Oct 2021 06:36 PM PDT

I have been looking at how to convert a Bedrock resource pack into a Java resource pack. All that I can find is how to convert a Java pack, into a bedrock one. What do I need to rename the files? Do I need to change the "manifest.json" I get an error saying that it failed to copy

   21:29:07] [Render thread/WARN]: Failed to copy datapack file  from C:\Minecraft Server\The Shire Texture\textures\misc\pumpkinblur.png.mcmeta to C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\resourcepacks  java.nio.file.FileAlreadyExistsException: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\resourcepacks\The Shire Texture\textures\misc\pumpkinblur.png.mcmeta
