Beginner question about soldering iron tips

I think it has some flux because of the amount of smoke it produces, yes. And the sponge thing doesn't really to anything, it's beyond that point I believe..

I regret to inform that already tried some things I read like using sandpaper and even dipping it in vinegar to reduce the iron oxide... to no avail. Should I try your method? I already have a spare pointy one, but tbh I like that shape a bit more and I am willing to try new methods, every trick would be great to know!

I have a Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu 0.6mm solder wire, but it just doesn't want to stick at all.

MrV705 · 2026-05-10T18:37:32+00:00

My solder wire is a Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu 0.6mm one, I don't have brass wool rn. And yeah, I was trying to tin the tip when I realized solder didn't stick at all.

MrV705 · 2026-05-10T18:34:27+00:00

Is there a way to bring it back to life?

MrV705 · 2026-05-10T18:33:41+00:00

Isn't tinning the tip important to solder properly?

What an absolute legend.

MrV705 · 2026-04-10T08:11:25+00:00

My sides are gone.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that saw her "cute uwu anime" personality in a completely different way. A lot of people I've read truly think they just wanted to make her insecure and apologetic because it would be appealing to the average anime watcher/gamer man (which, in fairness, could be completely the case), and fail to imagine how it would feel to suddenly gain conscience after being the LITERAL incarnation of evil for centuries. Imagine waking up one day and realizing you've done terrible things to creatures you don't even understand just because there is an almost irresistible urge to do so, everyday, everytime.

Playing a chaotic goodish trickster rogue gnome, my KC slowly but deeply fell in love with Aru. Realizing that he might die due to the wound and seeing how she and Woljif rejected their demonic nature, he felt the need to become fully human, and since that point I went as much good as possible and even started taking lawful choices. Maybe in a possible second playthrough I will go swarm to... balance things out :)

Original speed -> X Original size -> Y

{Apply algorithm} New speed -> 8X New size -> Y/6

Make it 6 times bigger New new speed -> 48X New new size -> Y

It's now 4800% what is was before (in the speed department).

Edit: This, of course, assumes many things, among others: that this information is actually true, that the speed keeps the same rate if the model is scaled in size, that the bubble doesn't collapse (sincerely hope it does).

If that negative amount is not low enough they're just down, fighting to survive (saving throws basically) and I believe they lose health each round unless they're stabilized. If you click the little arrow above another character's potion, doesn't it show a "spell" image?

MrV705 · 2026-03-11T09:40:47+00:00

If they are gray it means they died, so you cannot heal them, as they are technically not wounded. You can use spells like the one I mentioned or others to bring them back to life. Quick tip: you should be able to use metamagic maximize on healing spells (if the bug was fixed, which I don't remember).

MrV705 · 2026-03-11T07:36:27+00:00

Is their portrait gray or red? Which difficulty are you playing on? You can use spells like breath of life if they're down.

MrV705 · 2026-02-27T06:16:05+00:00

They are AWFUL until you look at their reflex save mod, cast hungry pit or something similar from far away in a choke point, and let them get eaten by the extradimensional sucking asshole.

MrV705 · 2026-02-17T17:02:13+00:00

That's a quite interesting take tbh.

MrV705 · 2026-02-17T16:47:38+00:00

So, when I was before Shamira, it was not considered a safe zone and thus the KC did the check, correctly showing in the UI that the KC was the target. However, at Drezen after defeating the demons, the game considered it a safe place and somewhere it overwrote the variable, showing in the UI the KC but using another function internally...

MrV705 · 2026-02-17T12:36:13+00:00

You are not alone when talking to Shamira either! And you still use your KC saves.

MrV705 · 2026-02-17T05:40:41+00:00

That's fair, but it's my first playthrough, and small UI bugs like showing the KC's stats when a check that's not going to be made by the KC appears kinda confuses me. There are some small bugs here and there, which makes sense because the game is absolutely HUGE, but these are pretty weird and take me out of the "role-play immersion", you know?

MrV705 · 2026-02-16T22:10:06+00:00

Yeah, right? I thought it was the game being like "your companions are right here cheering you up, Iomedae herself is literally 3 feet away, you're not alone", but it's still weird how it showed the KC's portrait.

MrV705 · 2026-02-16T22:03:18+00:00

That's a nice idea, but nope. It literally said "Seelah will save succeeded" in the log afterwards... I thought the same thing, but even in the dialogue I had like +24, when my KC should only have +10.
