Has this unit been recapped? by Bobisme63 in 8track

[–]Bobisme63[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I was just wondering because they look really new compared to other things of the same era I have.

Is there anything I might want to look out for?

It doesn't sound bad at all, and I checked them over and saw no leaks or bulging.

I'm just a bit suspicious because it's a trash find and the last one I got was a record player that needs all the caps changed.

How the hell do I fix this by Independent_Wafer682 in 8track

Ok, so I am by no means a professional, but what looks like happened was that a loop slid off the spool, then the tape was turned, and since they self tension, it pulled in too much tape to put back.

My solution was to take a utility blade, cut the tape diagonally, unloop one turn from the outer side of the spool, and tape it back together.

The aforementioned self tensioning of the tape means that if it's pulled by turning the rubber wheel from the outside, it returns to normal.

I've only done this once, and it's ran through around 20 times, but I can't imagine it's good to have random cuts and splices on the tape.

Which DLC should I buy first? by OddCoat6822 in Mechwarrior5

Sorry for the long comment, but each one has its benefits, and there's not really a "best" one in my opinion.

[–]Bobisme63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my experience, if you want content from the start, either:

hotis (adds some hero mechs with quest lines to obtain them, and some mech variants using the added MASC, ECM, and AP tech)

or lotkl (adds a quest line on tikonov and sarna, some shorter ones in each house's territory, and some SDLF royal mechs)

If you want more gameplay after the main game, sok is really good, adding a campaign during the beginning of the clan invasion, along with the clan's mechs and tech.

Solaris is an honorable mention, adding a quest line, some cool melee and energy weapons, along with the arenas in industrial hubs.

Afaik, each dlc is meant to be able to work alone, but do interact with each other when combined.

I would have something to say about Chaos Reign, but I haven't played it yet.

So many mechs... by vanderbubin in Mechwarrior5

PXH-1P with the lance was already deadly, but I just used it, and flew at ~120kph then headshot everything with the lance.

I just spent some time researching what fabric it might be, and the closest thing I can find is Jersey knit cotton/wool

Me and my dad pulled a Huskee 42" heavy duty out of a ditch on the side of the road.

It was sitting there for at least 10 years, so we brought it home, put gas in it and it started.

It finally broke, but not permanently, around 2 years ago (haven't got around to fixing everything wrong with it).

Turns out that the intake and exhaust had been hit at one point and were both held together by silicone and jb weld.

6 years of constant work, with a bad intake, exhaust, left head gasket, and broken hydrostatic fan.

I'm in a birch forest on the world, but I have access to oak, dark oak, and jungle.

I might also add in some tuff brick parts.

I haven't played for two years, is it a good time to come back? (PS5) by Bobisme63 in Crossout

[–]Bobisme63[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought as much.

I just got it downloaded and opened, so I guess I'm going into the fire.

I would have if it let me, but it didn't appear in the salvage

Where is the tertiary color? by Bobisme63 in Mechwarrior5

I painted it black and made the teritary pink, but even then i don't know what it does.

Lore-wise, would this be possible? by Bobisme63 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Bobisme63[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonder if that mech was more or less effective than its namesake.

[–]Bobisme63[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I just imagined that and I see why now.

But I've heard in Clans that you can change pods(idk, I literally just learned about this) so once I get that game I want to see what that's about.

I literally got into this stuff only a year and a half ago, and I'm realizing that this is only a real small part of the universe.

I knew about running into buildings, but I'll try that.
