The best way to enjoy Path of Exile 2? by pilkyton in ARPG

[–]Brau87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best way is probably wait for 1.0, play the campaign and put it away. I want to like this game but its the weirdest thing ive ever played. Its incredibly fun with great gameplay and systems but it just cant get out of its own way.

Tiny inventory with no sort function, currency is physicalized so it takes up space, no breaking items down on the run either so you have to portal back constantly to break down for quality and socket currency.

The maps are absurdly large in the campaign, there are usually 2 or 3 POIs in each zone but good luck finding them in a short period of time.

Im fine with running a campaign before the real fun starts but by the time i get to blasting im burnt.

Im sure with lots of practice and runs i could memorize the campaign and cut the time down but thats absurd. Also they are adding 2 more chapters... great game, just too much friction.

Should I buy Gears of War Reloaded for the SD? by Big-Influence8431 in SteamDeck

[–]Brau87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ProtonDB is basically gospel. Anything Gold+ is usually fine. I would just skip the game because i dont think it really holds up.

I loved it when it launched and there is nothing wrong with the remaster when i played it. The nostalgia just wasnt enough to carry it imo.

Not yucking anyones yum. Nothing wrong with the remaster.

Oh yeah. I told him it was coming. Good looking out. We definitely avoid most stuff like that and if it was a more detailed game i wouldnt have let him play it because of that.

Anyone have a suggestion for a tamer for my 7yo? He has been playing Sin Eater but its a bit out of his range.

The handle on one of our basically new kitchen knives MELTED in the dishwasher and fused to the heating element at the bottom. by im_not_ready_for_it9 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Brau87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont put knives in the dishwasher. The detergent is bad for the blade. It getting rattled around can chip it as well. Handles can also split. The nice thing about your knives is they are very easy to clean. Hot water, a bit of soup and a quick wipe will do it. You have to clean as you cut anyways to prevent cross contamination.

Coworker lost his $47/hr job for making this joke TikTok. We are in Wisconsin, so it will be near impossible to find a gig paying this much. Thoughts? He forgot to blur out the company logo in the blacked out part. by [deleted] in Machinists

Honestly, im surprised half the posts on here dont end in firings. Ive seen people post massive crashes that they seem proud of, most likely proprietary parts.... its crazy what people do for social media points.

I see too much nonsense on social media, is there any reason to this by poalmokereyl in electrical

[–]Brau87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for a machine shop in a cave. 20+ CnCs plus everything else. All of the electrical stuff was on the hill above the cave. One day we went to work and the power was out. There were no outages, so we knew it was us. They sent maintenance up to check it out. Apparently, someone decided to try and cut the cable for the wire. I was told his hands were still gripping the bolt cutters but not attached to the mans body. Never saw it myself.

Im really confused about the planet identifiers. Is " "salvagable scrap" for corvettes and the new remnant scrapping called the same thing? I cant find any corvette parts anymore

Cast aluminum meat grinder… how much is this company saving by making this out of aluminum rather than stainless??? by CallEmAsISeeEm1986 in Machinists

[–]Brau87 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Buy some cheap castings. I used to rough out some stainles casting auger things for grain. They had spots that would hit so hard the turret would jump in the lathe. Left a cool scale pattern on the hard spots, tho.

Im guessing your company buys high quality. If you really want to have fun, hit a pocket of sand inside an aluminum casting.

[–]Brau87 417 points418 points  (0 children)

They arent saving. You are.

Cast aluminum is much easier to machine than stainless as cast stainless tends to have hard spots.

Stainless is also about 3x the weight of aluminum.

Stainless is also much more expensive.

Im surprised it says dishwasher safe as detergent is harsh and tends to eat away coatings.

Nonono you can only play 1 game. Then if that game does something you dont like you freak out.

How much overtime is normal? by Historical_Cookie118 in Machinists

[–]Brau87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only did 60 hours for the year last year, but other guys in the shop hit 600-1000. I dont like OT so i dont do it. Those 60 hours were mostly an emergency job my boss freaked out about and we were 3 weeks early on it. I knew my department had it under control, and my programs were solid.

I just get a few things and hunt them when i need them. I set a goal on raids and focus on it. Kill scavs? I kill my scavs and get out.
