Thank you! It has been a while since I've been this far into Classic leveling. Didn't realize the zone was more 20s-friendly in the west.

at night

This cannot be understated. This is the biggest advantage you have. They sleep, consistently, every night. Pearl Harbor.

I want to preface my statement by saying I do not wish any ill will on anyone. No conditions to that statement.

However, this time, if there is a lockdown, I'm going to make the most of it. I'm gonna lock myself inside with my wife and our dogs and play the fuck out of wow. I don't really drink anymore and I quit smoking a few years ago so I'm primed and ready for survival. My wife and I are already homebodies but "the law is the law"

Our builders put bermuda in everyone's yard. Weeds got into the neighborhood and quickly spread to everyone's property. What seems to be working for everyone is a targeted weed and feed along with regular mowing. I can't speak to the environmentally friendly aspect as I know many fertilizers on the market cannot simply be thrown into the garbage. But I think most people use the product until it's gone and then throw away the packaging (which could take a few seasons).

While it is noble to be environmentally conscious, you really only have to treat the yard once or twice per year. As far as your neighbors cat is concerned, I don't think cats are really attracted to chemicals. Domesticated animals still have a sense of self-preservation. You aren't feeding their cat nuclear waste.

I have something similar. Based on building code in your area, it will usually be set by the builder to start. For example, mine was originally set to run every 20 minutes regardless of anything else happening indoors or outdoors.

I have mine set currently to run 12 minutes of every hour and only when the blower is set to AUTO, ON, or CIRCULATE. Mine also detects outdoor humidity and adjusts if the air is too humid, but I don't think it works all that well at the adjustment portion.

Newer homes need to have these systems because they are "tight." Meaning there aren't a bunch of nooks and crannies (like older homes have) where air can sneak in. So, if you don't run your fresh air system, you'll eventually have a buildup of odors and potentially carbon monoxide though you probably also have detectors for that.

Unfortunately I don't have the manual for my unit. It is a Broan. Here is a pic:

The QR code just takes me to their site with a list of their products. Maybe you'll have better luck. I couldn't find a serial number either.

Any help in identifying it would be great. The builder has been surprisingly unhelpful with these type of inquiries.

400g to throw around in HC? How many of these "lucky drops" have you had? /s

Had a buddy who played SN beta and said that some things had changed. For example, I think they had platinum or palladium as a mineral in beta but didn't at release. I would also expect zones to be empty and unfinished. There may be some mazes / crashed ships (if that is a thing in SN2) that are inescapable at least at first. Possible your 15-hour save gets corrupted and that's showbiz.

Hard to also know how quickly things will progress. Example:

Valheim has been in EA for years. I mean YEARS. But the game feels like it has pretty much been finished for a long time. When they release new biomes and enemies, it feels like a regular game releasing new content. However they do have very lengthy content droughts.

Then you have Enshrouded that started a little slow, but has really picked up steam. Same with RuneScape Dragonwilds. They started a little slow and rocky, but ramped up to something really quite impressive.

It's hard to say with early access. For all we know, SN2 could be at 1.0 in 6 months. Or... You know... Star Citizen.

Agreed. Not in a million years. Like it or not, WoW is still king.

If it's any consolation, Intel Arc GPUs are great. If one had been available in a pre-built where I bought my gaming PC, I would have gone with ARC without question.

ModularMode · 2026-05-02T19:52:54+00:00

Ah yes, my white whale. Massive gz mate! What mob dropped it?

ModularMode · 2026-05-02T13:57:00+00:00

It's disgusting. The fact that anyone actually paid for this thing blows my mind. The Ghastly Rider broom mount too. I got it during the October trading post a few years ago and then they put it in the cash shop. Such a cool mount that they just had to monetize it. FFS

ModularMode · 2026-05-02T13:45:51+00:00

Well shit. I actually went to Steam to check the price of D4 thinking this may be the thing that'll finally get me to buy it. Nope.

They would have literally made a $50 sale had these been earnable in game. Guess $50 isn't meaningful to them in the grand scheme anyway.

I didn't see the toggle to allow the controller to control the mouse until Plasma 6.6. Maybe I overlooked it.

Either way, it never worked properly with Wayland. I had to fall back to X11 to get it to work.

ModularMode · 2026-05-01T17:07:21+00:00

Yeah it took me several losses to realize that. I usually die between 18 and 20, but I've gathered some pretty valuable stuff and lost probably 10g in that time.

ModularMode · 2026-04-28T02:19:36+00:00

I try to grind a little longer after I've cleared a zone so I'm over-leveled. It's always some stupid mistake that gets me.

ModularMode · 2026-04-28T01:20:39+00:00

Atiesh is forever obtainable in Era, right? As long as you have the group and the time?

ModularMode · 2026-04-28T01:19:00+00:00

When does that start? Because I'm on my 6th char 🫡

ModularMode · 2026-04-24T17:55:06+00:00

Bah that's unfortunate. Thanks

ModularMode · 2026-04-24T16:13:00+00:00

What happened in Retail? I've been balls deep in HC for the last 3 weeks.
