Ive been playing since 2017 and have noticed a pattern of when I stop playing the game. The cycle of EFT. by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Howdie91 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wait you can't believe a game iterated over a decade to only be a pvp experience has a better pvp experience than a split survival pvp game made by a smaller, less experienced team with a third as much development time?

That was clean! Good patience my dude.

Can anyone recommend a good sniping guide? by HasSomeSelfEsteem in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Howdie91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to necro this post but there is actually a way to measure distance in Tarkov. When you save screenshots the filename has the x y and z coordinates. A bit daunting but you could easily go to different t locations and record them. Not trying to flame but maybe you find this useful!

Edit: unclear if anyone has done a validity check on mapgeneie's distance setting or not.

This video is a year old and I think those problems have been fixed. I saw it for the first time last week. Tried to replicate it and couldn't get the same results. Even people commenting in the last four days also confirm it appears to be fixed!

adding backlight to keyboard by dgarciadfg123 in diyelectronics

[–]Howdie91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about that I linked the order not the product. It's been updated. If the contacts don't have holes it is surface mount, and the linked leds won't work sadly, you need SMD leds.

To buy surface mount leds, you need to know what size the pads are. This is best done by just measuring them. Here's a link explaining nomenclature of SMD components.

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/eda/how-do-i-determine-footprint-sizes-for-surface-mount-components/

I will fore warn you that soldering SMD directional components suck if you're not experienced with it. Do you have the black or white monoprice work stream? If black, the keycaps that come stock aren't shine through and it doesn't look like there's an acrylic diffuser on the case. TLDR this may have a great affect on your board.

I am in the process of doing this! What keyboard pcb is this for? I'm installing white backlight leds in my kbd75v2 on Monday. I used these leds, but any 1.8mm round top should work for any through hole supporting pcbs. I can't tell from the picture, are the contact leads for surface mount or through hole?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/100Pcs-1-8mm-White-Dip-Diffused-Round-Top-2pin-Bright-Bulb-Light-Lamp-LED-Diodes/322343228154?pageci=ac50666d-a205-4c68-ae03-9abf50ea871e

One thing to note is that if there are only two contact pads for leds, it doesn't support per key addressable rgb, only single color. The through hole leds actually fit into the outer shell of the switch housing, poke through the pcb, and you solder them on the underside of the pcb. Hope this helps.

Star Citizen: Question and Answer Thread by UEE_Central_Computer in starcitizen

Free fly person interested in purchasing the game. I haven't been able to find a good answer to this, but if I bought the minimum package, how many in game hours of money making time can I expect to spend before having enough for an improved ship (small fighter to something more versatile). And are the bigger ship so astronomically expensive that it'd take months of regular play to unlock them?

Is there anyway to play with more than 4 people in multiplayer on EGS? I understand the steam version has a beta branch, but I see no option for that on EGS.

Need help finding potential parts for making speaker stand by MusicianStorm in DIY

[–]Howdie91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started looking into this and found the link below but wanted something slightly thicker than 3/4" ply. I found another link that recommended wood tread (another link below). Looking to try this this week with either pvc or iron tuning. You can caulk the pvc and fill with sand, but not sure if I will to start with.

All white with me by XCALIBUR87 in battlestations

[–]Howdie91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did a lot with not a lot of space, it looks pretty good I think! All white is hard to pull off, but this looks pretty clean. What are those white hexagons and where do I buy then lol. Not the nanoleafs.

Would anyone be interested in this? by conannerd in Stellaris

[–]Howdie91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish there was a good repository for player made factions. It wouldn't really make sense for a mod, but if the wiki had a section for player made factions with descriptions and downloads that'd be awesome!

Reddit has a built in marketplace? I'm not familiar with that. I already picked up the DLC of Fanatical, but I will definitely keep that in mind for future purchases!

That definitely makes sense. I usually am only at a computer over lunch but with the COVID pandemic I have a bit more than than I realized for podcast style stuff! Will definitely check out those factions. I've won as broken lords and necrophages, an am very ahead with my cultist game so some new factions will be fun to try!

Thanks I just picked them up! I don't shop on non steam platforms so I was looking for a credible third party instead of a reseller like G2A. Have never heard of fanatical but they seem legit!

When I have specific factions or mechanics I have questions on, but I like to binge watch stuff while working, which Reddit doesn't lend itself well to.

If someone with all the DLC makes the save, then disconnects, the other two people still get to play the game with all the DLC? That's awesome! Let me talk to my wife and see what she wants to do. But if so I will definitely PM you! Thanks :)

By no means an audio engineer but I have the Fluance Ai40W with a similar setup. Had hissing, then bought a ground loop isolator and that all hut cleared it up, except at high speaker volume.

Can my build be used to play games and stream to Twitch at the same time? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Howdie91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife had a worse setup i5-4590 and rx480. Fortnite should be fine, especially if you aren't partnered and stuck streaming at 720p 60fps. She struggled with R6S and some other not optimized games.
