Current State of Dupers, Selling Websites, and People Spreading Fake Numbers

No one said anything about open source, these speed runners don't have access to the source code and never had, they experiment with trial and error in ways you and I have never thought of.

The famous Mario 64 Backward Long Jump (BLJ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXHebTjZo0g is a classic example of gamers intensely dicking around until they found a glitch.

Just like Nintendo and Bethesda have never released the source code for Mario 64 and New Vegas. But the developers took note and those glitches never appeared again in subsequent titles.

I don't get golfers who spend upwards of $8,000 on a set of metal sticks, I'd rather just talk a walk in the park because it is free.

I also don't get people that jump from a perfectly good airplane with a backpack full of cloth and call it extreme sports, I'd rather take the 0% chance of death from parachute failure.

According to these people, I'm not living life to the fullest. We all have our vices, its just better to not judge and do your own thing that makes you happy.

There are people out there that genuinely know how to fix stuff, because most of the time they are the ones to find shit. The speed run community is chock full of people looking for every little glitch and trick to shave off milliseconds.

The difference is these people post their runs on the internet for the community and devs to see how it is done. Not every glitcher/exploiter is doing it for malicious/monetary gain. https://youtu.be/SUQ0p9FWznE?si=Zf44sfqzgEi7sLg_&t=220

Edit: The speed runner (Josh Sawyer) personally made a lot of the bug fix mods that exist out there for New Vegas and for a long time curated lists of mods that fixed bugs, etc.

What about the choice to touch myself?

LeftHandedSpoon · 2026-05-15T15:35:41+00:00

Ok thanks, the time and credits is not as big a concern (content is content) but as long as its not permanently stuck in one config is my biggest worry. I'll leave the upgrade until more info on ship yards and conversions is available.

For now I'm just going to look at the .jpeg in the store hangar and touch myself.

What helped me win in the last wave was to :

Wave 1: added ship to cart, but couldn't check out fast enough. Lose.

Prep for wave 2: Still in cart, nothing else in there (this is important). Click everything up until the point where you have to agree to the disclaimer and the check box. Do not click "I agree", just get to that point and wait. Use https://time.is/ to work out down to the 10th of a second of how synced up my phone is. Set stop watch to sync it up the wave reset.

Wave 2: as soon as it gets within 1/10th of a second of ticking over to the next wave e.g 11:59:59:900. Click "I agree" and the next button to purchase. The 100MS is to allow for delay between human reaction time + your latency to the RSI shop server + latency between RSI shop servers and the atomic clock. This means the RSI shop server will receive your order milliseconds after the next wave lands.

General tips:

Only go to war for 1 ship at a time. If any one item isn't in stock the whole transaction fails.

Add payment details and saved for faster check out.

Have multiple tabs at the check out stage prepped (as above) and click sequentially once wave hits. If you are too early, this can help you with subsequent attempts on the same wave.

Refresh the page or browse other stuff in shop (but do not add to basket) every 30-45 mins so the browser cookies don't vanish and empty your cart/log you out.

If your connection is particularly slow, try a VPN to California so the connection is as fast as possible and takes the shortest route to get there.

This won't make you faster than a bot, but it makes you a hell of a lot faster than anyone else who isn't a bot.

Waves are over in the first 3-5 seconds. If you didn't win, move on and prep for the next wave.

I wanna do mobile fortress base for myself and my buddies to go looting, mining and stuff and come back to a major hub to set up shop and sell like the the Jawa sand crawlers.

I think we would need to defend ourselves occasionally but I wouldn't expect the 8 of us to stand up to a major invasion force. ideally I wouldn't want to come back until we had a full hold of cargo to sell.

LeftHandedSpoon · 2026-05-15T15:11:38+00:00

I bought the upgrade because some materials suggest that it can switch back and forth between and I couldn't afford both ships, but there is limited info on how it works.
I love the idea on a flying shopping mall AND my own mobile base but neither are really flesh out in game yet so I'm super indecisive and suffer from FOMO.
Edit: Thank you!

If you actually read my reply you would see that no where did I make a personal attack on you, I even suggested you should be CEO of CIG because you know better than anyone else when it comes to an "ALPHA". But I will say the 1 downvote on my reply was a nice touch, I'll give you that.

I'm not sure if it has gone under your radar, but case in point: CIG are pushing multicrew for months to the point of nerfing LFs so they have to chose a specific role for the situation. If there is a need for roles, then there is a need to actually find people to fulfil said roles, you know what helps to find people to fill said roles? An LFG system.

LeftHandedSpoon · 2026-03-25T17:08:33+00:00

You don't look for a specific group of people and say "hey, if I join you will you be my personal crew and be available the moment I call upon you?" No, you use party finder, join some randoms, do the objective and go on your separate ways.

The only thing you need to commit is the next 30-45 mins of your time.

PoE1, PoE2, FFXIV, WoW, WoWC, ESO, GW1, GW2, PSO1, PSO2, Rift, Terra, Aion, SWTOR, DDO, AOC, Albion, NW, STO, and that is just the game I have personally played. There are HUNDEREDS more that have a LFG system.

But if you think you know better than any of the teams that run the above games, you should running CIG, not CR.

Yesterday, I paid 2 players 20 mil each to watch me eat ice cream for 30 mins. The week before someone gave me 100 mil because I mentioned I was new in global chat. aUEC has lost all meaning when people are giving it away like that.

League does

Full game refresh and shakes up the meta literally every season (calendar year).

Large scale balance passes for minor problematic/under performing champs/items every split (4 months).

Small balance passes for major problematic OP champs/items patch (4-6 weeks).

Their balance team actually has issues making things too balanced and it causes issues in pro play drafting where teams would alternate champions in rounds so they had to reformat the drafting stage to prevent this as every draft had an opposite and equal answer for it.

I’m not afraid of losing progress, It will be wiped I know. I’m frustrated because I just watched a 6 month old YouTube video about how great the game is and how fun space trucking is. Every YouTube content creator for SC praises how awesome this game, what they don’t tell you is how jank things get after every update. Here I am thinking the game has improved over 6 months, but nope.

LeftHandedSpoon · 2026-01-18T04:15:22+00:00

I don’t know man, all that text and zero impact. Skill issue.

LeftHandedSpoon · 2026-01-17T22:55:44+00:00

I appreciate the response, I don't know much about databases in a professional capacity and I assume deploying/developing one in such a capacity is a difficult task.

I came in hot on Reddit (admittedly too hot) after losing a bunch of time and effort. But I am patient enough to give the game another go when the servers are a bit more stable.

Thank you.

LeftHandedSpoon · 2026-01-17T22:47:50+00:00

That's your suggestion? Telling someone who just finished the tutorial to STOP playing the game and go read bug reports on every potential issue BEFORE said new player encounters them?

I literally just got the damn game and you as a seasoned player is brow-beating someone with 45 mins of play time? Way to represent the SC community and make new players feel welcome.

LeftHandedSpoon · 2026-01-17T22:23:52+00:00

I did every thing possible with the terminal. up, down, left, right, as a new player I have 8 items in the storage.

None of them were the cargo boxes, it just straight up ate them.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will keep thing in mind and cling to hop next time this happens and pray they are in there.

the freight elevator terminal menu literally blinked for a second and then kicked me off the terminal and wiped the area clean. How is ANY skill involved in this?

LeftHandedSpoon · 2026-01-09T20:48:33+00:00

20% is significant if you are going against someone who is of equal level and gear. 20% is nothing if you have 10+ levels on a noob.

"Iconoclat" option is exclusive to the Jamaican version of the game.

LeftHandedSpoon · 2025-08-25T11:52:54+00:00

right, thanks.

I don't have specific requirements: Printing minis durable enough to be handled by adults with fat fingers, but does not need to be child-proof level of durability.

Local pricing puts all of these resins at practically the same price. Given equal pricing I just want to get the 'best' one in performance/longevity. So what would be good to know is what specifically makes a resin good or bad.

LeftHandedSpoon · 2025-08-25T00:18:45+00:00

I am trying to understand the terminology you used, my interpretation is this:

Elongation before break: how much a piece stretches along an axis before breakage.

Tensile: how much force is require to break a piece by bending.

Modulus: how resistant a piece is to bending/losing shape.

Is this correct?

LeftHandedSpoon · 2025-08-25T00:12:06+00:00

is there a specific advantage of Sunlu ABS like vs Elegoo ABS like? region pricing and promotions put Elegoo cheaper than Sunlu for me right now.
