What happens if you break the Old Barbarian Statue in Clash of Clans?
Posted On: July 11, 2023
As the title asks, what happens if you break (the original) Old Barbarian Statue in the builders base? I have looked online but there isn't much continuity in what it does. Some sources say you get 3 gems, others say 3-5 gems, I think it drops a random number of gems (like breaking any other decoration does), so does anyone have a definite answer for what breaking it gives? Sources/multiple video proof would be appreciated.

Empty slot wont accept order in Xcom2
Posted On: July 11, 2023
When I try to drag those available orders to the empty slot (red arrows) they won't move and make a bip sound like "can't do it".
There is no explanation why it won't accept. I don't know what to do.
What am I doing wrong?
Question from user vianna77 at stackexchange.
Answer:
You can manage those orders only at the Supply Drop day.
Supply Drop day may happen at the end of the month, but I guess it's not always.

No reward for vault entrance completion in Hogwarts Legacy?
Posted On: July 11, 2023
Some of those puzzles were somewhat difficult, I feel like you should get XP for completion and not just janky gear.
Question from user Pandy_45 at HogwartsLegacyGaming at reddit.
Answer:
On the mentions of money, don't stress too much, it gets way easier.
I picked up game a few days ago, and wanted to get Room of Requirement full set up, good gear, etc, so was running around and grinding a bit.
Grinded so much that I was level 30 before doing Beasts class, which I just did today.
With Beast skills and questing, mone . . . [

What genre is A Plague Tale: Requiem?
Posted On: July 10, 2023
I am not a competitive gamer; when I play, I play for fun, playing casually and solving the puzzle that is the game.
I have played A Plague Tale: Innocence as well as A Plague Tale: Requiem for almost 2 years now. I keep going over and over in the game — the replay value for me is immense! I will probably do another play-through or two before I am really ready to move on, but please, I need some advice:.
This is the EXACT type of game I like, and I am not really sure what "genre" it is. What I know that describes the games . . . [

What is the origin of the Qin Shi Huang theme music in Civilization IV?
Posted On: July 10, 2023
I've been trying to identify the music that is heard while one talks diplomacy with Qin Shi Huang in Civilization IV.
The melody has been stuck in my head for a while now, and I'd like to know what it is I keep whistling.
Sadly, it's not listed on the Wikipedia article about music in Civilization IV.
Since I have not played any other games in the series, it is entirely possible the theme is a remake of music from an older game in the Civilization series.
Does anyone know more about this music theme?.

Reach the compartment before it closes in Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise
Posted On: July 9, 2023
In chapter 3, there is a button on the ground to the right of a platform in the center of the room. Clicking the button opened a compartment on the left side of the platform. The compartment keeps closing before I can reach it.
How do I reach the compartment before it closes?
Question from user Stevoisiak at stackexchange.
Answer:
You need to weigh the switch down with something heavy to keep it open.
While the object you need is hidden in plain sight, you can't actually get to it until you progress the room a bit.

Can I complete Fallout 4s Home Sweet Home without enraging the Minute Men?
Posted On: July 9, 2023
I want to get the perks for completing Nuka World but don't want Preston to shoot me in the face.
Is this possible?.
I'm playing the sort of character who wouldn't side with the Raiders but would play along with them long enough to get everything I could before murdering them all.
I'd like to get the perks from completing Power Play but as soon as I set a raider flag in the Commonwealth,
I'm informed that "Preston hated that" (understandably so, even if he has no way of knowing because this settlement i . . . [

What is the optimal strategy for 2048?
Posted On: July 9, 2023
I've tried a few approaches, but I just can't make a tile with 2048.
Question from user André Lucas at stackexchange.
Answer:
The key to all merging/matching/combining games like this is creating what's called immutable subsets.
I'll explain what this means using 2048, but it really applies to most, if not all, of the games similar to it in nature.
Intermission.
An immutable subset is a collection of tiles that don't change (in this case move) within a specific set of rules.

Why is there an unlit campfire under Zelda Tabantha Bridge Stables well?
Posted On: July 9, 2023
I was exploring the well near Tabantha Bridge Stable, and I came across an unlit campfire underground.
What's its purpose? Is there any reason for this? I tried igniting it, but nothing happened.
Question from user pinckerman at stackexchange.
Answer:
It's remnants of the wandering Chef who's been going around Hyrule, living in Wells, and recording notes and recipes in his journals! (It's why you also sometimes find journals inside wells).
There's nothing special about this campfire in particular that I'm . . . [
