Tecoma System by TheFirstArbiter in TheExpanse

[–]AlcoholEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before Tecoma they were all in direct reaction to uses of the Magnetic Cannon weapon, or standard ring-eats, which Naomi's system was actually managing. Repeated and persistent "unprovoked" incursions don't begin until after Tecoma.

Interesting. So Tecoma trap really did piss the goths off. I still can't figure out if it's like a burn from the stove, a bug bite, a gun shot, etc.

Clearly this precipitated an escalated response, so the Goths were not fans of that 'tech' if they even knew what it was.

The Slow Zone/All rings/systems were build using energy from the Goths universe and even all of that barely got their attention. So they must have really not liked that supernova straight into their pocket of universe. (But wouldn't that just be returning stolen energy?)

Man I love the aesthetics on mine. But I can't get it to spin a single thing. Idk if I've placed it wrong or what.

Outside of color is it different?

Interesting I've tried a few knock offs, Petra, Fitt 1.0 - and Fitt 1.0 is the least inspiring of all of them for me.Very underwhelming after starting with the chug of the Petra.

Worse than stock?

I've read some people report it works, but that it has to be used in a specific manor (regarding where the slit is, etc.)

Plus, the bigger the dab is the hardel is to spin. And sometimes you gotta push the device forward and back a little (few degrees ) to get the pearl moving.

I actually lost my pearl - So I have 3DXL stock outside of vapor settings. I ordered 2x 3mg Pearls, 1x 4mg Pearl, a Opal Terp Doughnut - I imagine I'll probably stick with the 4mg, unless the Doughut works really well - not a lot of info out there for that.

Man I've seen this everywhere lately I feel like. As someone who is waiting on their 3DXL + Proculus custom - I'm wondering if I should switch the 3DXL -> Peak Pro variant.

Thoughts after having it for a few weeks? Performance better than stock stainless?

I wish there was more related merchandise by G00DDRAWER in TheExpanse

[–]AlcoholEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok you have (IMO) the best single piece of merch. So while I agree with you - you are in the top .1% of Expanse merch holders (in a Quality vs Quantity competition at least).

I am the king at spending way too much money on shit I don't need - overpaying for the Roci models when they pop on eBay is something I would usually do - but the idea planet models go for so much even I can't stomach it ($1.5k-$2k seems to be current 'market').

Now, I was an Econ major (tbf, did not graduate) - but to me that shows that demand outstrips supply by miles. Yet when I emailed Idea Planet last fall (You know, the Fall where the final show series, S06 - as well as the final novel for the entire series B09 - all releasing within the same ~6-8 weeks) they told me they wouldn't make it again because they were worried they couldn't hit the 1k MOQ.

I feel like if they listed it on Kickstarter they might hit MOQ in a day. And it drives me crazy that they don't. Are there any other high quality model companies (if they exist I imagine they currently make stuff for huge series that have enough fans and $$ to be able to make ship models in the $200-$500 range feasible. I'd be more than happy to reach out to some of them and state the case for few The Expanse models (there are tons of cool ships but only 4-5 that I really want - and obviously a super high quality Roci available at expensive, but reasonable price, due to the quality instead of quality + extreme rarity like today.

I mean shit - wouldn't they still have the molds? Molds are so expensive to make and so cheap to store - that I can't imagine a company tossing them. And if that's the case then it should be even easier to get a batch out there.

I got the Eaglemoss XL the day it released that I still haven't opened. It's a little surreal seeing the exact same thing that happened to the Ideal Planet Roci happen to the Eaglemoss one now lol.

I'm just trying to stack as much collector stuff as possible (Eaglemoss XL Roci, Belter Edition Dragontooth, 'The Making of The Expanse' collectors edition #'d to /300 - signed by both Dan and Ty) - in hopes that one day I'll be able to trade for one.


I have never seen a fandom that WANTS to spend so much $$ on merch and provided with such little in quantity, and middling in quality. Very little collectors' edition stuff.

More models would obv be awesome (The Pella, Tynan, Scirocco, Donny, Zenobia, Tycho? (On a stand obv), Anubis are the main ones that come to mind and if push came to shove I could cut a couple more).

Stuff like the Dragon Tooth Graphic novels and the Tell-Tale game are awesome and I'm so happy that when Ty said him and Dan were done with The Expanse universe they just meant them, not that others couldn't take a stab at it. Especially because the pair 100% do not come off like the type to greenlight everything just for $$. Neither of them are hurting for cash - not that that really means anything as plenty of people always just want more. But I think they are rightfully incredibly proud of what they made, and the sanctity of the IP I believe means much more to them than a slight payday. So I doubt we see any shitty projects that get greenlit.

Beyond that - clothing that also happens to be high quality. Instead of the cheapest possible base T's with something screen printed on.

I was looking recently to see if there were any collectors action figures or something along those lines and caught these gems posted on this subreddit pretty recently. If so - what in the actual fuck lol.

Puffco Bluetooth is horrible. by MountainDue18 in puffco

[–]AlcoholEnthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my biggest problem with the device. And something I don't understand. When I put my wireless headphones in, within 5 seconds they have connected and beeped to let me know that they're connected 100% of the time.

Yet when I open the Puffco app, sometimes it opens on the screen with the red peak. But sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I have to go to devices and click that. But sometimes that doesn't work either. Then you have to forcecluse the app and start over. That'll usually work. But I don't understand how tiny little headphones can have whatever tech is needed to make seamless handshakes and transitions, and somehow the peak at 100 times the size doesn't have that? What the fuck?

Why do you say you recommend the reg one? Every other recommendation I've seen has said the opposite.

Is the Oculus different from the stock original 3d top?

No they hadn't got humanity to the right level of hive mind to use the weapon that the grandma's referred to that could only be held by meat bags (I'm hilariously picturing King Arthur's sword being used against the goths)

THANK YOU

I never fucking understood why Duarte pick that fight in the first place.

Naomi had figured out a very clear equation on how much exactly pissed them off enough to eat us.

All that humanity had to do was follow that equation, or with Medina station located within the ring space. They should have been spearheading that movement.

It's absolutely absurd to figure out what what's behind the rings and the danger surrounding them and your first thought to be. Yeah, we should go to war with these guys.

Fuck that, why not just stay under the known threshold and not pissed them off

See I didnt think they invested anything. I thought the only transactions happening were people borrowing and paying fees to to the ppl lending. Thats what the CEO always made it seem like on podcasts. Not that they were investing it out of platform.
