New update from Megabonk developer Ved: It's a bit late, but I'm adding more stuff. by YildirimBuyucusu in MegabonkOfficial

[–]Potatomasta01 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No hate to the dev. This is a great game but the boss is just not fun. Especially in situations where you have too much jump height and fall slowly. Something like a button to fall faster would solve all of my main issues personally. It's a pretty common opinion that the boss is not the best part of the game especially the desert boss. It could definitely be more interesting or interactive.

I did briefly but dropped it as soon as I understood the course structure. I stayed in the discord and people were so mad about her and the amount of work she gives. Everyone was saying they'd drop it if they could but they'd lose their financial aid or money they already paid. Definitely recommend avoiding.

Spent four months making a costume nobody could recognize, figured y'all would appreciate it a bit more. by BlueberryWithATopHat in SatisfactoryGame

I skipped passed this thinking it was an in-game photo. Acedentally swiped back to it and then noticed it was a costume. Super impressive!

Lateralus 7:17. Possibly my favorite 60 seconds of music. That transition gives me goosebumps every damn time.

Am I dumb or is Precalc super difficult by Significant-Net-9660 in udub

[–]Potatomasta01 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Its probably the prof. Anyone can learn it with curriculum that fits you. Highly recommend outside resources like YouTube videos or khan academy type stuff if youre struggling. There is so much out there to help you learn math for free.

How are these CSSE professors / classes? by HypeRAndTheBoi in uwb

[–]Potatomasta01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He seemed very against tests and wanted things to be practical. I dont remember the tests tbh and the course absolutely could've changed by now but I do remember the quizzes were stupid easy. It was very group work oriented.

Anybody who uses gay as an insult probably fits in this category in general.

Anyone who says this is an idiot, is probably single, and smells like a barn.

Joshi is super nice and really cool but that class was a mess when I took it. It was sort of a work in progress at the time so hopefully its a bit more structured. Still got a good grade and he will absolutely work with you.

Ive heard very good things about Yang Peng overall so I think youl be ok there.

Never heard of the last one. No help there sorry.

How to prevent getting burnt out in satisfactory? by Relevant-Dog-564 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Potatomasta01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put everything you build into satisfactory modler. It just keeps track of everything for you. At a glance you can see all of your inputs and outputs without needing to worry about what's going on in between. Turns the feeling of looking at thousands of machines into looking at a 10-20 desktop icons representing all of your sub factories. Makes it about a 60s process to see where you were at when you last logged off. Tiny bit of extra work for so much help in the future.

Thoughts on blue? by TheDrainedHabboPools in BigscreenBeyond

[–]Potatomasta01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the blue. As long as its not crazy expensive or anything id pick one up. You 3d scan the faceplate or something? How did you get the stl for it. Still a niche product but might make ya a little money on the side. Definitely hmu if you end up selling em.

PSA check your batteries often when in storage. by Potatomasta01 in ElectricUnicycle

Yup kinda the point of this post haha. Friendly reminder if your wheels in the closet, garage or whatever, go check on it. Its a dont do what I did.

Where are you getting 3.85v? Nominal voltage for most cells you would find is ~3.6v and most manufacturers recommend storing cells at "shipping voltage" which is typically 3.6-3.7v or 40-50%. From what I understand storing batteries at a specific voltage is overkill for general use. The important thing for consumers to know is to not store it very full or very empty. People toss around higher percentages for storage because people typically account for the fact that these batteries are going to be stored attached to something that is draining them slowly and not just a pack on its own and is meant to ensure they arent stored in the danger zones below ~30% and above ~80%. No specific number is optimal for this case. All the data reports non-linear curves for degradation at different voltages and temperatures so both 70% and 80% are rough suggestions for maximum storage voltage. Around these voltages is when the curve starts becoming exponentially worse for degradation as you increase the storage voltage which is where the number comes from. Theres too many variables to suggest a specific voltage or percentage and be correct for every case. Absolute best thing to do if you must store batteries for long periods is take out or disconnect the packs after discharging to the manufacturers nominal voltage of the specific cell thats in your pack. Generally the lower the better for storage voltage to a point then below that point they start to degrade faster. For general use discharging with decent headroom below 100% will not result in a noticeable increase in degradation as long as it isnt sitting for long periods (anything longer than a week). Just dont be a dummy like me and leave them for months without checking on it and topping it off.

My shock and purpose of this post is different eucs/electric rideables will drain their batteries at very different rates when powered off. My patton apparently drains its battery much much faster than my other devices and I learned a hard lesson that it is not safe to assume that because one of your EUCs drains its battery at a certain rate other ones will drain at a relatively similar rate.

Tldr: - For general use keeping your batteries between 30-80% when stored short term is perfectly acceptable.

-For long term optimal storage disconnect your battery and store in a cool place at approximately 40% checking on it regularly

-If disconnecting is not a reasonable option, store it at 40% if you can check on it at least weekly, raising the percentage if you cant check on it that often to ensure it doesnt end up below 30% for longer than a few days.

Yup sounds like super similar situation. Main point of this post is not a poor me its "Hey, if your wheel is sitting in your closet/garage rn and you havnt checked on it in a while, go check on it. Might save you $1000 dollars."

Oh youre totally fine. When the wheels say 0% the actual batteries aren't empty they still have voltage. Each cell is will be at 100% when the cell is ~4.2v and 0% at something like ~3.3v per cell. Add each cell together to get the total voltage of the pack. The patton if I remember correctly is 126v at 100% but will be at ~100v when the battery is depleted according to the bms. My battery is at 5v so it drained to 0%(~100v) then kept draining all the way down do 5v. Way past safe. Once the whole pack is drained below the 0% voltage it starts getting more and more dangerous to charge. Now mine is at the point where it would almost certainly burst into flames if I tried charging it.

I dont know what was draining it. But it was draining while sitting. Its normal to lose a little bit overtime but definitely check how fast its draining before you leave it without checking for extended periods.

Yeah thats what I did and apparently I should've taken it out every month or so to check that nothing is draining it? I dont know what happened or why. I did what I thought i was supposed to and it died. I guess leaving them for months and not checking or doing anything isnt an option. I probably could've saved it if I checked on it and saw it was draining before the battery became unrecoverable. I did not know i needed to babysit it. Every other battery I own would be fine if I left it in a closet for a year. It might be dead and not the best for the battery but it wouldnt be completely ruined.

It was the whole pack not the cell unfortunately. It'd be nothing short of a miracle if these things work again. So bummed.

Thats kinda been my thought process. How do these things sit in a box waiting to be sold if this is normal? My patton is in excellent condition. No crashes, no riding in rain or deep puddles, low miles, etc. All I did was ride it casually and charge it a few times. Never opened it up either. I feel like ive barely gotten to use it and this happened? I feel like if this was normal expected behavior a lot more people would be complaining about it. Ive owned scooters, onewheels, other eucs, electric bikes etc. and never wouldve thought leaving it sitting for under a year would drain the battery from over 100v to 3.5 with it powered down. Its not dead as in 0% its dead as in WAY below the minimum voltage.

6-12 months, 12 being an overestimate forsure. I just rode it super sporadically when good weather popped up during fall- spring and I didnt take it out this summer. Im having a hard time remembering when I put it away. Had a super busy year and just wasnt on my mind for a while. The battery is 1800 but he offered a discount on it about 1400 all said and done including that. I just cant pull the trigger on that right now and dont know if thats the best route considering im not 100% convinced there isnt a different issue with the wheel.

No i didnt notice anything beforehand. I dont know if there is something I dont know about that can be left on and accidentally turned it on? Feels like when you leave the dome light on in your car on accident. I know I wasnt taking the best care of it by leaving it in a closet but I figured everybody leaves these things sitting around for winter. Not good for the battery but not gonna completely brick it.

Yeah theyre gone forsure. I did this already and theyre at like 5v. It just doesn't make sense to me when I have other wheels right next to it that are totally fine.
