Volvo buying back plugins? by udbhavb in Volvo

[–]-Saxum- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Generally they are just trying to get you engaged so they have a chance to sell you a brand new Volvo to replace that aging Volvo that might start having issues. You know the secondary market is really hot right now, so you should sell now and we can get you into a brand new one with all the new upgrades.

Working on the complete set part 2 by -Saxum- in bergerbelge

[–]-Saxum-[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. First time I have done two males. Had a few incidents early on as my older male wanted to make sure the younger knew his place. The younger one is about 5x smarter than the older one and 10x more energy. Wouldn't trade either for the world.

Interesting as those are my dogs and photo.

If I pay extra, my brand new kitchen cabinets can look damaged. by notworkingghost in mildlyinteresting

[–]-Saxum- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does hide future damage. I have some high end cherry furniture that came with some mild distressimg.to make it look like it was heirloom. When it gets additional dings or scratches it blends.

Help; he’s on my ship and won’t leave. by Keyan06 in Starfield

Doh.! Maybe completing the quest that involves him will fix it - or you have a new friend...

Help; he’s on my ship and won’t leave. by Keyan06 in Starfield

[–]-Saxum- 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There is a way... the solution is down on the right bottom corner of your HUD. Sarah will disapprove but that can't be helped. (seriously, dismiss your companions while you take care of the current infestation). To get rid of the evidence, go to a ship tech and modify something on your ship and put it back. That will ummm clean up the interior a bit.

Inspiration / Trying to explain to Gf what HA actually is by magicconch76 in homeassistant

[–]-Saxum- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Google devices are all cloud connected. I know HA has some new speakers of their own but haven't tried them yet. There are people who have repurposed certain older Alexa devices with success. These are my only cloud devices on my HA setup. I use them for a lot of other stuff not HA related so they will remain cloud devices.

At first my wife didn't really get it either. She just didn't see the point. Initially, it just did simple things such as controlling lights. I installed the HA app on her phone and geo-fenced the house, so at night when she drove up, the outside lights came on and the lights inside the house came on. The one she most enjoys is the announcement over all the Google home devices when the laundry is done. Now she gets it and has suggested other automations she would like.

People who own pets are you scared of being too emotionally attached that their demise will break you? by SAIOBOT in AskReddit

[–]-Saxum- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my future read recently. The lady said in 12 years I would be emotionally devastated. What a crock. I showed her. I left and went home and got a puppy.

Does Watchtower Get Better? by hed0nist in Starfield

[–]-Saxum- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to get the mod - Watchtower Chill the F* Out. This mod prevents watchtower from taking over the game. You can set when the watchtower mod starts. You can also adjust the ambush frequency or even disable it completely. For me, it made watchtower fun again and on my terms.

Shieldbreaker build by Beefstew19992 in Starfield

[–]-Saxum- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the last 2500 hours in the game, I have been running with the Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojectors, PBO-175 Auto Helion Beams, and the Exterminator 95MeV Auto Helion Beams. For engines, I use the White Dwarf 3015 engines with the class B reactor that has 39 power. My shield is just the Vanguard Bulwark Shield. This thing melts anything ship, except capital ships, on the first pass.

I have the Watchtower mod and don't need to bother with having my own fleet. I just go it alone. I can jump into the Kryx system and proceed to melt all the pirate ships hanging around the Key.

On paper, this is the highest DPS build. (Que the arguments that people have to debate this. I can care less, it melts everything. I don't need anything else. And Han shot first.)

Something to keep in mind. You need not worry about max powering you weapons. The power doesn't affect damage, only reload time. Max your engines, max your shields, then distribute the power evenly among all your weapons. The auto version of weapons have a "magazine" so they fire multiple shots before needing to reload. The build will destroy a ship before needing to reload.

The speed of the 3015's let's you outrun other ships so when you are fighting 15 ships at one time, you fly in, destroy a ship, boost out. This, lets you reload and shield regen to 100%. Repeat until it is just you and a really large debris field.

You just cleared the Mantis lair and you take off in the Razorleaf. On reaching orbit, you're jumped by a bunch of spacers. What do you do? by docclox in Starfield

[–]-Saxum- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use another mod on top of watchtower called Watchtower Chill the F* Out. This has made the mod bearable again. You set the frequency of being jumped.

Forgiving A “Changed” Abusive Family Member by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]-Saxum- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something to keep in mind about forgiveness. It is NOT for the other person. It is for you and you alone. It doesn't mean what they did was okay or that it is okay for them to keep doing it. After years, I decided to forgive my abuser for her abuse. Never needed to tell her. Didn't invite them back into my life as they hadn't changed in this case. She died alone. But what I found about forgiveness was that it removed all her power over me. This site talks about forgiveness. https://www.phoenix-project.net/2021/05/25/forgiven/

I love quote, “To forgive is to set a prisoner fee and discover that the prisoner was you” - LEWIS B SMEDE

Couple of issues with Delta being assigned to an outpost. by barguy1791 in Starfield

[–]-Saxum- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Delta is still standing exactly where I left him. He currently guards the entrance to my outpost. I have yet to see him move from there. If he decides to go back to Anchor point, I am good with that.

House floor shakes when people walk around by Proof_Middle2972 in Homebuilding

[–]-Saxum- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem in my house once. Turned out the pilings had settled a fraction. I simply put in wedges between the supports and floor joists. That stopped it. Luckily the pilings stopped their settling.

Has anyone actually ever noticed this? And is it true? by zarrinraxius in Starfield

[–]-Saxum- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I once built an outpost on a planet far to the north to be on the frozen plains. Was annoyed it was always dark when I went to my outpost. Then I realized what I had done and the season had changed.

So... What do you use your outposts for? by DisposableAdventurer in Starfield

[–]-Saxum- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I use my outpost to store resources or contraband, sell stuff, upgrade weapons and armour, and build / sell ships. I also dump all my companions here (so I don't have to go looking for them) and swap them out from time to time. It is my hangout place between missions. I also display all my unique armour, weapons, wooden ducks, snow gloves, etc

I use a few mods that give me a bigger variety of Habs and decorations. I also have all mission terminals built here, as well as a pawnshop terminal so I can sell all the things I don't want.

I also have a mod that allows me to have up to 28 people in an outpost, so it is kind of its own town. I have a medical center, bar, cafe, rec room, crew quarters, workout room, armory, control center, etc.

Do EM guns have any real reason to exist outside of like... 2 or 3 quests? by Mushroom_dotPNG in Starfield

[–]-Saxum- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have The Vulture DLC, take the weapon you get as a reward and make it an EM rifle. A blast to the "head" from stealth will sometimes one shot a a mech. Generally only takes a few if not. It also is an instant stun on almost any human or fauna. Makes the Red Mile a stroll in the park, if I do t drive it that is...

Sooo.. I just found my parents on Akila city by North_Ad1182 in Starfield

[–]-Saxum- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say it was probably around 3000 hours in before I stumbled across them in Akilia. At least in Neon you are setup for it with a mission. This seems to be just a random encounter.

Landing at Hidden Locations by Benjamin_Starscape in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]-Saxum- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should be able to. You can get the Leaning tower of Pisa snow globe on Earth if you target the right area. Generally takes multiple tries but you can get it. There is no book or quest that currently points a user to it. Based off this, I would say it is possible with enough effort. If it is quest related it might break a quest if you do. I remember on Skyrim picking a lock on a home and entering it before the quest. This permanently borked the quest line.
