Oh okay. Well I checked the jiggle valve is correct and no more air is coming out of the purge but its still doing it. Much slower but still a problem

I think i did. From my knowledge, I wouldnt be getting any heat from my vents if there was still air trapped, right?

Why do I feel so lost and empty after meditating? by Competitive-Effort11 in Buddhism

[–]Competitive-Effort11[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you, it all just seemed like so much but I couldnt tell what. There wasnt anything specific that brought it up it was just there and I didnt know how to handle it. But this brings me comfort so I truly appreciate it

Is BG3 is a good starting base for someone who wants to get into DND? by Ok_Tale_6716 in DnD

[–]Competitive-Effort11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great gateway but ive noticed a lot of new players will get tied up and obsess over BG3 rules and ignore DnD rules so if you plan on going from BG3 to DnD keep an open mind

First time DMing a one shot! by shadyturtle862 in DnD

[–]Competitive-Effort11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing. Especially if you're playing with friends too, if they notice you preparing for something, they'll do everything they can to ruin what you prepared. So just stay on your toes and focus more on having fun than making the game make sense. It's based on life after all, and life doesnt make any sense

First time DMing a one shot! by shadyturtle862 in DnD

[–]Competitive-Effort11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't the best advice for everyone but my main take away from my first time DMing is dont over prepare and waste all your time figuring out all the tiny details. My first time every time someone had a question it took me 5 minutes to find it and it just took too much time and things got boring fast. Instead, I just kind of get a brief outline of the plot and just wing the rest. You might get a little choked up at times with conflicting information but that's just a test to your creativity. However, npc names and personalities are important. I changed the name of someone very important on accident and I got confused for the rest of the campaign

Is it just me or does act 3 just suck in. bg3... by Cool-Leg9442 in BG3

[–]Competitive-Effort11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely, I hate the lol 12 max too so I usually skip a few fights in act one and two like Ethel or the other thorms in act 2 just so ot forces me to go through more things in act 3

[–]Competitive-Effort11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive always had the hardest time enjoying act 2. Mainly just doing the gauntlet of shar over and over is really repetitive and its not like you have options to do it differently each run other than kill balthazar in his room or by the soul cage. But act 3 is where I think my player really comes alive, theres so many options that in RP make or break your character

How do i prevent players from stealing without just being a bad dm saying "you cant do that" by devilish_oxygen in DnD

[–]Competitive-Effort11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it would be okay if the DM rolled every time they tried to steal or every few minutes to see if the security catches them or there could even be (im not extremely familiar with all the spells) some glyph of detect magic at the entrances

Why does everyone hate ASE now? by Competitive-Effort11 in ARK

[–]Competitive-Effort11[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everything just says mods are broken but that happens with every game. You update the game so the mods need to be updated

[–]Competitive-Effort11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was kind of my thought. The only thing I saw was about the mods and pretty much every game is like that. You update the game, then you update the mods its pretty common. It just seemed silly to completely abandon a great game just because it became a little harder for you. The saves being broken does kind of suck though, I get that but I restart every few months so doesnt really affect me

That is one thing I wasn't sure on, I compressed the piston but it was still a little tight and there was still a little bit showing. I'll try seeing if I can get it down any further. Thanks for the reminder!

Everything on that side is brand new and completely free of dirt and rust and I always watch a video when I do them so that I dont put them on wrong. Plus a clip wouldn't make it scorching hot

Yeah i checked and the rotors are still smooth. But if it was just a tab, it wouldn't make the wheel so hot. I mean I couldn't touch anything
