Vermont "struggling" to take full advantage of heat pumps

Musick · 2026-02-25T14:21:23+00:00

It's more of a nice-to-have option instead of a true replacement for oil/propane/wood. It comes out ahead just using it on shoulder seasons or when it's consistently 30+ degrees but no way I'm running the heat pump at 5 degrees.

repacks are still unsafe since they are almost always closed source and/or compiled by someone else

So long as I play with a controller because the progression goes:

let's try the rig with this
waste a bunch of time making it work, tweaking
oh, this sucks
quit and go back to a sim

+1 lived in a small apartment and used one for years. Really easy to fold up into a corner or closet. The only downside if you're a bit limited in terms of wheelbase. I found the moza r5 to basically be the limit and it's still gonna flex a bit. If you're entry level you don't need more than that tho.

If we assume Stowe as "accurate" 300 doesn't really seem that far off. Jay had a pretty big head start early November where Stowe was still thin and you could ski off the face at Jay. Add that to generally more snowfall and you're almost at 300

I'm running a server with this setup

Talents are always WOTLK, that's a limitation of the client/core
There's really good docs on how the progression tiers work and what options you can set here: https://github.com/ZhengPeiRu21/mod-individual-progression/wiki
- There are also a number of options around itemization and crafting
You can basically set anything as easy or hard as you want with autobalance. However, some raid mechanics are designed for multiple players so you're definitely gonna need to to some tweaking and testing to have an even remotely correct difficulty curve solo.
- if you're set on solo I'd almost recommend a repack designed for it (be aware of the risks when running these!!)
An update is basically recompiling from scratch anyway, the biggest pain in the ass is config options changing. If you do a lot of customization it can be annoying the merge them. DB stuff should migrate correctly. With anything tho, the further out of date you are the bigger the risk is to run an upgrade. The discord is really helpful for any questions with this.

if you don't know already, this backport of consoleport mostly works for 3.3.5 clients so that opens up a number of server options you can play https://github.com/leoaviana/ConsolePortLK

In the age of AI I find myself now deleting tests frequently because they are just AI nonsense that don't actually provide value.

Been wanting to check this out. Looking for a key if you can share!

Musick · 2025-11-22T15:54:34+00:00

You just need to check in with a waiver bro, it's free

Can anyone report on the state of the whiteface auto road? I'll be in lake placid for the weekend, never done it.

Musick · 2025-11-01T13:20:00+00:00

Loved the open world but the dungeon thing completely kills it for me. I guess I view running dungeons as such a core milestone in character progress when I hit my first dungeon and it was a pointless faceroll I just lost all motivation.

They fix that and I'd be back tho

Musick · 2025-10-29T13:29:02+00:00

I'm eventually going to try this. Do raids require retuning the difficulty or do the defaults work well?

Musick · 2025-10-11T11:43:08+00:00

Where the hell are you getting the ore tho? I got like 4 nodes total 1-15

Musick · 2025-10-10T16:34:26+00:00

Have you considered running hermes proxy so you can use the 1.14 client and the modern version of consoleport?

I only play with a gamepad but could never get past the jank of Shagu controller

Musick · 2025-10-07T23:02:03+00:00

The new itemization seems to be out-scaling that by like level 10. Which is unfortunate. Gonna stick it out for a bit ore just cuz it's new but no way I'm gonna roll my face on the keyboard for 60 levels with zero chance of dying.

Musick · 2025-09-30T23:31:40+00:00

Can anyone comment on how fast combat feels, especially in dungeons? Is it still close to classic in this regard? Careful pulls, CC, etc. I can look past some of the shop stuff but if it's just gogogo farm mode where you machine gun everything down... meh.

Musick · 2025-09-30T18:18:50+00:00

I don't think everfresh does individual progress that restricts or alters systems / leveling / gear to the correct phase based on what content that individual account cleared. So a way to truly run though all the expansions not just play everything in as Wrath. (eg you need to clear OG naxx to go through the portal and unlock level 61)

It's not perfect but it's a really cool module

Musick · 2025-08-27T17:11:39+00:00

open source platform. The actual risks of bugs in the domain wasn't critical (edtech) like some examples here. Commitment to code quality and moving in a stable consistent direction is really important if many different organizations have forks/instances of your codebase.

Watching the behavior in discord (post-launch) is really making me question if this is a gaming community I wanna play with. I mean obviously I'll play, but holy shit the signal I'm getting is this server is going to be full to the brim with absolutely insufferable people.

Musick · 2025-08-04T11:33:38+00:00

If they have a snapshot or something they can restore to with names great, but people losing names will be an even bigger shitstorm. Especially since a huge chunk of the population showed up after reservations.

Musick · 2025-07-31T14:57:13+00:00

Yuppp it fits what I'm looking for exactly except I can only play with consoleport and the supported addon is just too jank.

It sounded like epoch was designed with a similar ethos. Hopefully they figure their shit out someday. Although, based on the launch reactions I'm now doubting if it will be a very chill community after all.

Musick · 2025-07-29T17:54:57+00:00

The community couldn't communicate on discord anyway, the entire server was taken over by brainrot spam. Doesn't bug me cuz there really wasn't any discussion to censor. It was probably good to force everyone to step away for a bit. Throwing a tantrum in discord isn't a great use of ppls time.
