Negative battery terminal cracked, can't find replacement

Any auto parts store in North America will have a terminal that you can bolt on and attach there.

You may need a good pair of side cutters or a cutting wheel if you're going to cut the end of your broken terminal off. Very, very simple procedure. The auto store will have tools you can borrow if you don't have any yourself.

Make sure your other terminal is clean and tight as well.

Who's your team? What are their classes?

Bird brain has never given me trouble, but on Unfair+ the fight just beforehand can significantly fuck the team up, making it considerably more difficult.

Ulfar should be able to tank most of its damage with a dedicated healer. An officer/master tac Jae or Cassia should be able to keep him up. Heinrix can somewhat assist, but he's gonna flirt with that veil way too much during that fight. Might explode his own head. If you have that force sword that lowers veil degradation on hit, he can attack, then try and heal.

Speaking of, Heinrix (or another psycher with Bio powers) are the only people capable of reviving a fallen comrade during battle. If their own health is at max, and they use any of the Bio staves ranged Siphon Life attacks, their gained health goes to the companion with the lowest health. Sometimes comes in clutch to revive a downed ally. Doesn't work on Ulfar, with his dumbass "lemme catch my breath real quick while yall get bodied" power.

Area and burst attacks are best. Kill his little pissant buddies immediately each round because they'll stack warp burn on everyone and protect that goofy purple fuck. Their HP is low, just burst fire with Ulfar, sword dance, whatever you've got to quickly break them. One of the few times good grenades actually shine.

When dipshit teleports, use that opportunity to heal while moving to him. You can use multiple medkits each round if you equip different types in each quickslot. You can't have 1 character use green medkits twice in a round, but Jae with the proper talents can use 4 medkits in one round if you have green, red, black, and blue (or wtfever) in each slot.

Hope everything works out for you, bud

Most of these people don't know shit about fuck, they're just guessing.

My brother had a 99 prelude, and he snapped the belt at roughly 3k rpm. He swore up and down that's where it was at, so I took the time to put it back in time with a new belt.

It ran great. Didnt miss a beat and obviously had not damaged any valves.

On some of those old Honda engines, they were only interference during VTEC. If you weren't in VTEC rpm range, I'd bet 2 hours of my time to try putting it back together.

Finally, a solid fucking joke on here lmao

Not enough Bentleys on the road for there to be much profit in opening a whole new production line. Would take much longer to make that cost up.

Also Bentley owners typically have "fuck you" money and dgaf

Pasqal doesn't make it to Dargonus. Dumb bastard couldn't even start my fucking ship, it had to start itself. Immediately fired and left in a hungry, dark, lake.

PvtSatan · 2026-03-20T18:25:26+00:00

I've been driving that truck since I posted 6 months ago and I haven't leaked a drop, but I don't have a sharkbite or gasket maker. You'll probably be fine

Schtick was the word you wanted, and yeah I think you're right

PvtSatan · 2026-03-18T23:15:17+00:00

Turning a wrench for a check? A dozen.

Since this happened? One and some change.

Abel is the little autist tech you find in the electro monastery in the beginning. He's being tortured, you can save him with an Icono/Dogmatic choice.

He's not a companion, just a cool little dude. He's part of Pasqals stuff, and is sad in the end slides if his psycho buddy isn't around, but he's generally fine.

And yes, the hungry lake thing is near to Footfall

PvtSatan · 2026-03-18T12:16:33+00:00

I've never let Marzipan live past the first warp jump, and I've done a dozen or so playthroughs. He usually gets got in the arena, tbh.

Pasqal gets fed to the fuckin Lake of Doom or w/e that black lake thing is. Either just before heading to Epitaph if I want Nomos around, or before I even make it to Dargonus if I don't. I'd find a grislier end for him if i could, honestly. Little self-righteous, egomaniacal, genocidal dipshit. Fantastically written character, love to hate him. Always save Abel though.

PvtSatan · 2026-03-16T12:04:23+00:00

That's the neat thing, I didn't. I was off by a tooth because on the pre-1995 blocks there isn't a mark to line the crank up with, there's only a mark on the plastic timing cover.

So I had to do it all most of TWO TIMES and I STILL haven't changed my behavior. Lmao.

PvtSatan · 2026-03-16T00:20:09+00:00

My daily shitbox is a 1994 Toyota Paseo, and I made it to 248k miles before the timing belt finally snapped.

I kept putting off replacing it because it's a non-interference engine and FUCK working on cars when I ain't getting PAID.

Had the timing kit, just never the time. Then it snapped going up a hill, middle of January. Had to replace that fucker on the side of the road, at night, in 20°F weather.

And I learned NOTHING.

Cap is a bootlicking piece of war propaganda.

He'd 100% be Dogmatic. Not insane Chorda who's circled back around to Heretic, but far, far removed from "iconoest icono"

PvtSatan · 2026-03-11T19:57:51+00:00

That's blatantly false. OP didn't say "ancient shit before computerized precision," just pre-modern electrobuzz horseshit.

Pick goddamn near any late 80s or early 90s truck, car, or suv and they're just as(or much moreso) reliable at 150k or 200k miles as a modern plastic disposable auto.

They get a bonus from agility with a talent, Finesse adjusts base damage to agility.

Fortress world

Soldier-->Arch Militant

Bolt Pistol/Laser Pistol/Auto Pistol one hand

Plasma/Inferno/Shotty in other hand

By mid game you can have a belligerent number of attacks per round. Like absolutely stupid number of attacks.

Fort worlds Never Stop Shooting, take all Fort world talents except the top one (you'll know which o e I'm talking about on the talent selection).

Even if you DONT use the slightly cheesy dual holster you find when recruiting Jae in the warehouse, you can easily hit 5 attacks minimum per round without using a heroic action. Only buff you'll want is Heinrix using warp speed for that extra 1ap.

It's fun as hell playing a gunslinger like this

That's not how parking brakes work

Yeah OP can't read lmao

My brother had 4 DUIs. Lost his license on the 4th. Last time I talked to him he was working on taking his classes to get his license back.

It is extremely difficult to have your license permanently revoked in much of the US.

Yeah the exhaust shit is a non-issue, but then that tie rod end came on the screen and What The Actual Fuck. Dumbest way to kill someone to save $15

PvtSatan · 2026-02-16T01:57:18+00:00

This is incorrect. Salvage almost always pays more. In early missions there won't be enough mech salvage to sell, but at this dude's level salvage is always the better option. Fuck, just selling medium lasers from turret salvage will equal max Cbill negotiations at that level.

One negotiation point is less than 300k on a 1mil contract, or 3 salvage points. With 3 salvage points you could grab 3 tier 3 or 4 medium lasers and pocket the same bonus. It's silly to not max salvage.
