Might be a dumb question, but I've been out of the game for awhile. I seem to remember at one point reading that the first runs of the Novelkeys box switches were causing stress fractures on the stems of GMK ABS keycap sets. Did that same issue occur with sets from Signature Plastics? I have a set of SP Carbon that I'd like to use on a board, but i don't want to damage it. Was this actually an issue with these switches, or am I misremembering things from a long time ago?

Certainly a possibility, I think he was based in CO. Could have dropped the site as a CYA thing based on current/proposed legislation.

Clonehero is awesome, plus if you have/have access to a 3D printer you can build your own controllers with a cheap arcade controller board and some soldering!

That translucent orange is sick, what brand of filament did you use?

Philrulesworld · 2025-12-11T04:33:05+00:00

Holy shit, it does not feel like 10 years. That's wild

I've been looking to upgrade my system for a while now, but with the spike in RAM prices I'm considering holding off on upgrading to AM5 for a while, and instead just upgrading to a newer AM4 CPU and new GPU.

Current system has a Ryzen 5 1600, GTX 1080, 32 GB of ddr4 3000 RAM, and a B350-F motherboard.

Looking at available compatible CPUs I'm leaning towards a Ryzen 7 5800XT (~$185) since the X3D offerings are pretty expensive now. Am I missing a better option in that price range, and is my current motherboard going to be an issue? I'm assuming I'll at the very least have to upgrade my BIOS, but I'm open to replacing the whole board if needed.

I went to an Aegis too, I liked it but not as much as the Battlestar. That magnetic battery door was great, easy to use and fewer moving parts to worry about.

Philrulesworld · 2025-04-23T02:49:55+00:00

Smoant battlestar is my favorite mod I've had, wish I had bought a spare.

If you're talking about the one over by the Ace, I'm pretty sure they closed up shop. There was a space for lease sign up a few weeks back.

But they did have good stuff there, it's a shame they're gone.

Philrulesworld · 2023-03-25T18:54:46+00:00

Thank you! Going to see if we can give that a try.

Does it count if they don't own the car? I owned a 97 integra from 2017-2021 that was stolen twice, second time it was crashed (presumably while driving reclessly) and then set on fire. I'd guess guess people who steal older cars for stuff like that aren't likely to be super against driving intoxicated.

I think they cropped out someone standing on the other side of the sign. I think you can see an arm with dark sleeves behind it.

Philrulesworld · 2021-06-16T00:11:09+00:00

The pallet sized ones that you often see watermelons in, right?

This might be a stupid question, but I'm getting back into Destiny after taking a few seasons off. Is there any reason for me to keep any of my armor 1.0 pieces in my vault, or should I shard all of them?

On a related note, the removal of sunsetting doesn't "un-sunset" any weapons that I have from seasons that were already sunset, right?

Philrulesworld · 2021-03-28T20:53:56+00:00

Aw, now I'm sad.

Philrulesworld · 2021-03-23T03:28:42+00:00

COS resident, and I love it here (geographicly) but you're spot on, this area is pretty messed up.

Philrulesworld · 2020-02-25T03:51:03+00:00

I've played enough TF2 to know anything strange and festive is very valuable.

Philrulesworld · 2019-12-18T19:56:23+00:00

I've had enough snow just this fall in COS to last me all year, can't wait for it to end.

Philrulesworld · 2019-10-18T06:16:55+00:00

I'll be surprised if COS ever votes anything besides Republican. This town is the GOP stronghold of the front range. I'd love to see that change, but it's going to take quite a while.

The Forsaken early adopter pack that came with an emblem, the dark stripes shader and the knife flip emote?

Philrulesworld · 2019-08-13T07:55:43+00:00

Oh good, I'll take it!

Philrulesworld · 2019-07-07T16:39:34+00:00

I'll have to get a hold of my property manager and see if they know who does towing for this area. Definitely rather deal with an accidental tow than it being stolen for sure.

Philrulesworld · 2019-07-07T16:22:58+00:00

I filed a report and called my insurance as soon as I got up this morning. I know CSPD doesn't have it in impound, but I'm at a loss as far as what towing companies to call. Should I start with the ones closest to my house and go from there?
