Can you type subscript on signs in vanilla minecraft?

Posted: 07 May 2022 11:39 PM PDT

In some of Iskall's videos, he adds a TM in subscript on signs for fun. Is this possible in vanilla minecraft, or is this done with a mod?

What is this icon of a controller with an upward arrow trying to indicate?

Posted: 07 May 2022 08:44 PM PDT

I'm playing "Detroit: Become Human" on PC via Steam. I've hooked up a Playstation controller since the keyboard+mouse controls are so strangely nonstandard.

The game shows me prompts of what buttons/combos to select to do different actions, but there's one I just can't figure out what it's trying to tell me to do:

Screenshot of button prompt

I don't understand what the icon on the left is trying to tell me to do. I'm holding down the L2 key which is the icon on the right (hence why it's colored blue), but I haven't been able to figure out what I'm supposed to do in addition.

For further context, I'm currently playing as 'Kara' and am cleaning Todd's house. This sequence of actions is when I'm attempting to "ventilate" the rooms; if I manage to figure out how to activate it, Kara will open the window.

Here's the full view of the current scene:

Current scene

Actions I've attempted in order to satisfy the prompt:

  • physically moving the controller upwards
  • swiping upwards on the touchpad
  • moving both joysticks upwards
  • pressing 'up' on the D-Pad

What action should I be doing when I see this icon that looks like a controller with an upwards arrow?

What are good sources of Polymer in Alpha 20?

Posted: 07 May 2022 03:00 PM PDT

The primary use of Scrap Polymer is to craft AP Slugs for the shotgun. However, a box of 100 shells requires 80 polymer, which is quite a lot.

So far, the only semi-consistent source of polymer I have been able to find was computer monitors destroyed with an Impact Driver. However, this takes a long time. I ran skyscraper_01 in Departure twice in one day and was able to harvest about 600 polymer in one day.

Are there better, more consistent sources of polymer that I am not seeing?

Console commands don't show up as letters, but as square symbols

Posted: 07 May 2022 09:52 PM PDT

I have a problem with in-game console commands in TES V: Skyrim Special Edition, where instead of letters, it only types as square boxes. They look something like this □□□□□□. I have also installed like 50 mods but I am not sure what causes the issue.

Encountering Aquifers in an embark that claims to have no Aquifers

Posted: 07 May 2022 10:57 AM PDT

I have been having this problem, where 90% of the time, My fort gets water/mud everywhere, even though the Embark claims to have no Aquifer! No matter how many worlds I create, or what biome I embark in, I encounter an Aquifer on the second layer below the surface, and my fort floods(I think it is always salt-water too. Because I cannot designate it as a water source).

What determines operational task replacement cost?

Posted: 07 May 2022 07:56 AM PDT

Patch 0.12.12.15.4 introduced a method to reroll operational tasks, usually resulting in a different task. The patch notes do clarify that subsequent replacements will be more expensive (emphasis mine):

Added the ability to replace an operational task in the trader quest menu. The replaced task will be considered failed. The cost of each subsequent replacement will increase until the task's completion timer runs out

Last week, my first replacement was about 40k rubles, the second somewhere in the 100k rubles area, the third about 250k rubles. Today my first replacement is 30k, the second closer to 3M:

Operational task replacement cost: ₽ 2712995

The exact amounts are likely changing depending on the base value of the task in question, which in turn appears to be based off my completion history and/or level. But the continuous, now 100-fold increase, only starting with the second replacement per day, seems to be a separate pattern.

Something is adding to my cost well beyond those replaced task's completion timer. Is there any consistent logic behind cost modifiers and their expiry?

Dog Salad RNG Debunk

Posted: 06 May 2022 10:01 PM PDT

In a certain Sans clip, an alternative consumable build is used in place of the optimal inventory (Pie, Noodles, Steak, 3x Snow, 2x Hero):

Name - HP    Steak - 60  I. Noodles - 90  (x4) L. Hero - 40  (x2) Dog Salad - (2 || 10 || 30 || 91)    Note: HP value reflects an individual item's yield, not accounting for the quantity in possession.

Now, if you're decent enough at the fight, you can certainly omit some unnecessary items.
The bizarre part lies in the Salads.
This is the only time I've seen someone rely on Dog Salad, so I started wondering whether or not they were legitimately useful.

Does anyone have the precise probability for each occurrence?

How to play Minecraft without a Microsoft account?

Posted: 07 May 2022 03:41 PM PDT

Minecraft is a single player game. A Microsoft account was not required when I bought it. It's a requirement they added later. Asking your customers to do this years after the fact is unreasonable.

I don't want a Microsoft account and I'm not making one. How do I play my game?

What's beneficial about hitting an enemy's head?

Posted: 06 May 2022 08:51 PM PDT

I've noticed some weapons and attacks, like Lash, offer a chance to hit an enemies head. That's all fine and dandy, but I can't actually figure out what benefit there is to hitting an enemy in the head. I've tried poking around on the subreddit and wiki, but haven't head much luck tracking down an answer.

lash offers 100% chance to hit head

Is Mew required to complete the Pokedex?

Posted: 06 May 2022 04:45 PM PDT

This question is based on three assumptions (which I assume to be true - please correct me if I'm wrong):

  1. You can only obtain Mew by purchasing a Pokeball Plus, which contains exactly one Mew
  2. You can't breed Pokemon in the Let's Go games
  3. You can't transfer any Pokemon that didn't already come from another Let's Go game to a Let's Go game through Pokemon Home

Considering all of that, it seems to me that the number of Mews in Let's Go world-wide is finite. So if you only pick up the game now and are missing the Pokeball Plus, are you unable to complete the Pokedex unless you happen to meet someone by chance who is willing to trade you their Mew?

TL;DR: Is Mew required to complete the Pokedex in Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee?

How do I speed bridge up on Bedwars?

Posted: 07 May 2022 05:01 PM PDT

I'm trying to get good at Bedwars, and one of the main things that is allowing people to get the advantage over me is that they can bridge up faster than I can, thus easily getting the high ground. I'm good at normal speed bridging, I can do it fast and consistently (using the ninja bridge method, shifting and unshifting), but I can't figure out how to do it when bridging up.
How do I do this?

Editing ore/structure generation with NBTExplorer

Posted: 07 May 2022 09:03 AM PDT

I'm new to coding shenanigans and was wondering if there was a way to increase the spawn rate of ores and structures using NBTEditor. Ive been able to change player data, spawn "illegal" enchanted items, and other fun things, but I havent been able to find a way to change the way the map generates. Is it even possible to edit the spawn rates of iron/copper/etc without downloading/creating mods? Only looking to either change chunks that either havent been generated or on a brand new world. Thanks in advance!

Can you critical hit while sprinting in Minecraft Java 1.9+?

Posted: 07 May 2022 09:29 PM PDT

I have researched this and found many varying answers, can somebody please clarify. Is it possible to critical hit, after jumping, while in the air, while sprinting? Because some guides say to release the w key and then press it again. I'm not sure, thanks.

Cannot play games with NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super + Intel Xeon Silver

Posted: 07 May 2022 05:03 AM PDT

For professional purposes, I work on a computer with the following specifications:

Graphics card NVIDIA RTX 2070 SUPER (8 GB), Processor (x 2) Intel Xeon Silver 2.40 GHz, and 128 GB RAM

I tried to play Steam games on this PC, but I cannot make them work properly. I tried with quite old games like Dying Light and Frostpunk → Impossible to play. Briefly, I get one image every 5 sec. It is like playing 2020 games with a 2005 computer...

I really doubt my computer hasn't got the required specifications to play those games. I "forced" the [games].exe to run on the RTX 2070 in the NVIDIA control panel as I thought it was not using it (all drivers up to date).

I monitored the use of my RTX 2070 while "playing" Dying Light and the following appeared (sorry it is in French):

Screenshot of the graphics card use)

My graphics card does not seem to be used, or at least by "100% bursts".

I cannot figure out what is wrong here... Any help appreciated!

Fortnite stuck before showing intro video

Posted: 07 May 2022 06:00 AM PDT

After updating to v17 today I'm having some problems. I can start the game, but after selecting "Battle Royale" the screen goes black with a spinner that just keep spinning. If I move the mouse I get an arrow in the bottom right corner but clicking it does nothing. After 30 minutes like that I killed the process. I guess I'm supposed to watch the new intro video but the screen is black and just showing the spinner.

I've tried to reinstall the game. I'm running it in compatibility Windows 8 mode with disabled fullscreen effects and I've added the DirectX 11 argument to the launcher in Epic Launcher client.

Will PS4 synchronize save data between two PS4's

Posted: 06 May 2022 10:01 PM PDT

My brother has a PS4 with lots of digital games. He activated his console as primary because my niece also plays those games. So my console is secondary.

If I download those games from his account I wouldn't be able to play.

My idea is to download games from his account on a secondary console (my console) and play them using the same account, i.e. my brother's account.

Will this affect his game data? I have seen it starts fresh games on my console. If it synchronizes will it spoil both our data?

Multi-biome superflat/skyblock

Posted: 07 May 2022 12:00 PM PDT

I have created a skyblock world by setting a superflat world to generate with only air. Problem is, it doesn't seem to have any biomes other than forest. I would very much like, however, to have it generate different biomes throughout the world. Of course being skyblock there would be no natural generation of anything, but it would permit me to freeze water into ice, grow coral, etc.

Is there any way to change the biome generation settings of an existing world? Failing that, is there any way to create an empty world with variable biomes when generating from scratch (in which case I could just copy my current island to such a world)?

Xbox One backwards compatibility and cloud saves

Posted: 06 May 2022 05:07 PM PDT

This is a bit of a complex issue so I will try and break it down as I can.

I had an Xbox 360 for many years but I never ever had Xbox live gold because I am not interested in multiplayer gaming. Obviously, I have a standard Xbox live account.

I had been playing through the orange box on Xbox 360, and understood that in order to continue to play where I left off on Xbox One, I first would have to save my save game data into the cloud. However I tried to do this on Xbox 360 but wasn't successful. I could not find a way to do it and I presumed that this was because I did not have a gold membership?

I therefore resigned myself to starting the orange box games again from the very start on Xbox One, as I would have no saved data on Xbox one X. I didn't manage so much as I really enjoyed these games and was happy to play them all again. I did back up the orange box Xbox 360 save data to a pen drive, but I had read online that this wasn't really going to work on Xbox One X anyway...

So, I recently purchased an Xbox One X, and inserted the orange box disc. I knew that I would have to start the games again because the backwards compatibility on Xbox One only reads save data from the cloud, and that I had been unable to do this on Xbox 360 prior to purchasing my Xbox One X .

Before I restarted the game on Xbox One X, I decided to make use of the £1 offer of one month of Xbox live gold membership, and I also signed up for the similar offer for games pass. I realise thesse subscriptions will continue to renew unless I cancel them however I am really not interested in multiplayer gaming and so the Xbox live gold membership feels of very little value to me and I would rather not continue with it ( Games pass, however, feels of much better value).

I am making good progress in half life 2 now on Xbox One X, and really enjoying it. However because the save data is reliant on the cloud, does this mean that I have to continue to be an Xbox live gold member forever in order to utilise any kind of save data on any backwards compatible game (even those started entirely afresh on Xbox One X), and continue to make new save games on these games?

Really hope this makes sense. Basically do I have to be a continued Xbox live gold member in order to really use backwards compatibility, given that this is apparently very very reliant on the cloud save feature which I understand to be on Xbox live gold only feature?

I am concerned that if I cancel my gold membership (I.E.do not continue beyond the £1 one month trial) and then try and start any new backwards compatibility games, I will not be able to make any new save games at all!!

I am new to Xbox so sorry if these questions seem stupid. I have tried looking online and not found any answers

Game clips keep disappearing/getting deleted

Posted: 06 May 2022 08:19 PM PDT

For some reason, I've had problems with trying to keep funny moments and cool game captures on my Xbox One, as they keep disappearing. Just now, I was going to upload a funny clip so that it wouldn't get deleted yet when I got online - it's gone. Any idea on how to fix this?

In Terranigma, what was the result of the last war between Dark and Light Gaia?

Posted: 07 May 2022 07:06 AM PDT

I'm almost sure that it was said during the game but I can't remember pretty well. I think after the death of 90% of humankind by Asmodeus virus the Light Gaia army and the Dark Gaia monsters fought in the south pole. But what happened then? I know the former hero (light Ark) was killed and his armour and spkire were sealed in a box by Light Gaia waiting for his resurrection and hidden. After that, it was found by Columbus and delivered to the village of Stockholm.

But I though before the world was destroyed (came to the state we see when we arrive on surface) in the war. That way Columbus could not have done all this stuff. Otherwise, if it was not destroyed how have the world became in such a calamity state? Who transformed the living beings into fiends? Who sealed the Dark Gaia in the underworld? If it was the Light Gaia, why not to do it in the beginning of all this mess?

And, at least, why have the five continents be submerged and who did it? After all, I've thought the objective of Dark Gaia was to help Beruga with the immortality stuff and stop the time clock at 13. If the continents were to be submerged and Dark Ark not created by the Devil, things would be that way eternally. The clock would not be stopped at 13 but would be stopped the hour messing up with the balance anyway.

When i finish the mission (Copy Protection) in Prey why cant i craft nuromods

Posted: 07 May 2022 07:07 PM PDT

I already beat the game once and when I started a brand new game it immediately said I couldn't craft any more neuro mods. (even though I had crafted approximately 0) now I've completed the quest copy protection but every fabrication station says no licenses remaining but it no longer pops up the error message that is displayed on the fabricator. So i still cant craft any more. PLZ HELP!!!!

Not connecting to server

Reason of State quest - did I miss it

Posted: 06 May 2022 05:17 PM PDT

so after I beat the game it turned out that this bastard Radovid

even though I had done the quest Deadly plot, so I read a bit and found out that what I need to do it complete the Reason of state quest, that I apparently have to get after getting Phillipa from the bathhouse, so I loaded an earlier save in hopes of amending this mistake

problem is, I never got that quest to begin with, and I am beginning to fear that because instead of being nice I

I will never be able to access it; is that true, or can i still get it somehow (right now I have done every main quest up to the final battle)?

tl;dr: what are the exact requirements to get the quest Reason of State quest?
