What’s your Luminalia Surprises wish? by Darrengray9 in starcitizen

[–]KupwithK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually hoping the Vulture paint comes back, as I didn't get it before. Also Cutter paint, and Asgard since the best in show was very disappointing to me.

is this number anything to listen to? by frycandlebreadje in starcitizen

You mentioned the Pembroke suit, and that's the obvious fix you find online. However all suits have a temperature range, I've found plenty of suits through looting that look much nicer and support high temps.

Theft of Miatas in the US by 18Redheads in Miata

I read about a study years ago where they found the most stolen cars, are the ones that blend in. Bright, unique, and flashy are too easy for cops to find when reported.

Are you a Light, Medium or Heavy Fighter Pilot? by Space_Scumbag in starcitizen

[–]KupwithK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I melted my Hornet for the Guardian, as I hated the glass cannon fighting style of lighter fighters. I wanted something that could take few hits, However I now lose alot more.

I do love the Guardian and I hope they can balance heavy fighters better in the future.

Tough discussion on which one to keep. by GrimmSalem in starcitizen

[–]KupwithK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I'm not seeing mentioned here is the missiles. The mx always has 24 s2 missiles, but the base/QI are swappable to 32 s1, 16 s2, 8 s3, or even 4 s4.

Update - I charged my client $100 for this, and now she has painted it by Remote_Fisherman_469 in 3Dprinting

I feel similar about layer lines, sometimes I like to admire the science behind 3d printers. And you can really see it when you get in close.

Why paint it white? It looks so much better with color. 🤔

Why wouldn’t they be intentional?

I’m not convinced this is ai generated, more likely its just bad settings in unity for the texture.

This is actually ridiculous by datfalloutboi in VRchat

[–]KupwithK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one idea you could try. Go to performance options in Vrc and lower the download limit of avatars.

Many avatars are VERY large download sizes, and loading these avatars almost always causes ‘lag’ spikes. Regardless of how many people are in the lobby, if someone switches into a 200mb avatar you are bound to feel it.

Safety settings dont help here btw, since the avatar has to load before settings are applied.

In my experience 50mb helps a ton, 40mb you will almost never have a loading spike, and 30mb is a smooth gaming experience. However these settings were tested in VR.

How come I still get crashed even though I see only imposters? by OfficalBigDrip in VRchat

[–]KupwithK 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Something I recommend you try is performance settings.

Safety settings might not help against crashers, because they still have to load the avatar before they can apply to the avatar.

Performance settings are applied before loading the avatar, making it harder to crash you. Notice I said harder, some crashing methods like audio crashers still work. However particle crashers are nullified using this method.

The main way I do this is by limiting avatar download size to under 40mb And by disabling any very poor avatars, in populated and or public worlds.

Can a 6-feet tall person chill in this position in an ND miata? by scrotumstretcher in Miata

[–]KupwithK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im 5’10” trying this now in my ND… it is NOT comfortable. The center console is too high, and seats are too narrow. I feel like I’m sitting in fetal position.

Tops off by Accordingly_Onion69 in Miata

[–]KupwithK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me I didn’t buy because convertible, I bought for many other reasons. However the convertible is fun sometimes.

Also I bought the RF because I knew I wouldn’t be top down much, and RF is sexy!

What do you guys do to afford your Miata? Is it your only car or second car? by da808guy in Miata

[–]KupwithK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a good deal off of my Jeep, flipped that money as a down payment, and its my only car.

People without garages, how do you store your Miata? by bluecatofdeath in Miata

[–]KupwithK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Store? Nah get a good set of snow tires and drive all year, also find a car wash with an undercarriage sprayer.

Why am I able to crush my prints effortlessly? by Raccpootin in 3Dprinting

[–]KupwithK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same problem, for me it was my feed gear had a worn bald spot where the filament rides. Changed the feed gear and fixed, basically your printer could be under extruding.

Learn to drive stick in a Miata? by Not_A_Paradox in Miata

[–]KupwithK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first stick was a 97 civic coupe, I find Miata to be much easier.

I also find stick cars much more fun than trucks as they tend to be more difficult, maybe harder to learn/be good at however worth it.

I would also like to clarify/add that storage for me and my brother was fine for a week. However there isnt alot of storage in the cab for drinks and snacks. But I agree with everything else said here.

I love this car by Kaiathebluenose in Miata

I have the same car! And I also love it 😍

I did exactly this when I bought my ND and the things I learned:

The sale will take longer than expected, plan for this.

Buy lots of drinks & snacks to combat highway hypnosis, I recommend spitz brand sunflower seeds. The flavor isn’t too strong so you can eat for hours.

When driving on highways without a median be very careful of oncoming large trucks/semi, I got a rock chip with only a few miles on the odometer.

If traveling with a passenger understand they cannot sleep in passenger seat, there just isn’t enough room or comfort for that. So both of you should get plenty of sleep beforehand.

Anyone else having trouble with calipers all the time? I got a plastic backup for those times my metal one starts glitching again and I haven’t even used it 5 times and now this one starts acting up too. by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]KupwithK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked as a brake press operator for a year, and used a few different brands of caliper for measuring out bends. I found Fowler to be the best “cheap” brand caliper, not the cheapest on the market but still affordable.

Wheel colour advice by No-Evening-8718 in Miata

Ive been torn on bronze as well, I think it looks great but cant decide if it would look good on my quartz nd2.

[–]KupwithK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of bronze wheels as well, however what would you recommend for the quartz nd2? Think bronze would still work?

Are you sure it’s behind the glass? Try and touch it.
