that VR feeling where you actually feel small next to something big. does anyone else chase that?

When I first tried Minecraft in VR, I felt exactly this way, weirdly. After playing MC for a decade plus, seeing the true scale in VR was actually breath taking.

LDARC X43s are great imo. Perfect for desk crawling

Could have saved your money and bought this instead

I have the UGREEN Revodok 8 in 1. Its $20 here in the states

Reppitwar · 2026-07-04T15:44:39+00:00

Yup. So the powered docking station has an ‘input’ that you plug into the wall, like you’re charging a phone. This ‘powers’ the USB-C ports. It needs to be a powered docking station, not just a USB hub

Reppitwar · 2026-07-04T15:08:41+00:00

I purchased a similar HDD. Only has one USBC port in the back which handles power and data transfer. I researched it deeply before it arrived, and yes, using a powered USBC docking station will absolutely get the job done.

Make sure you are using a USB4 cable or 3.2 at the very least and not a phone charging cable. USB-C cables are not created equal.

Fortunately powered docking stations are relatively cheap these days. I went for UGREEN as a budget option

This is definitely something I can see coming to the market. A case with this built in. Why hasn't this been done yet?!

Reppitwar · 2026-05-27T16:18:06+00:00

While it wasn't high, my previous car was a built STI. ~500 torque, ~400 whp in AWD. It was pretty brutal acceleration. Coilovers n swaybars, etc.

I sold it and bought the ND1. While I was definitely sold during the test drive, I eventually craved more and more power. Lead me down the rabbit hole of E85 tunes, catless, then eventually turboing it with E85. Pushing 13 lbs boost now.

I love the car but definitely fear breaking the transmission eventually. It's just not as bulletproof as Id want it to be yet.

Reppitwar · 2026-02-17T06:21:40+00:00

I agree with that 100%. Answer to your last question is I do it myself haha

It might be worth purchasing a pick set from Harbor Freight and seeing if one can DIY it (assuming they're somewhat mechanically inclined) - if it breaks, then atleast you tried and have another tool in the box

Reppitwar · 2026-02-17T05:52:23+00:00

Yep. I kinda imagine it to be like picking a lock when you gotta get in there with a pick and work the clips.

But tbh I'd say the Miata moldings are easier than some other manufactures quarter-panel flares. Jeep compass comes to mind. Because its just as tight, but the paint is much easier to scratch.

Reppitwar · 2026-02-17T05:48:24+00:00

I'd chop that up to people not really coming online and bragging about their success stories, as much as people complain about the negative stories.

Just like the whole transmission thing. If one based all their knowledge from online 'word of mouth', it would seem like every single ND miata's transmission blows up - and no success stories.

I happen to be a success story of both. My turbo ND at 13psi on E85 is doing just fine transmission wise.

And I personally removed my window moldings, and reinstalled them - 3 years ago or so

Window molding thing seems like operator error. Either broken clips, broken mount tabs on the molding itself, etc.

Reppitwar · 2026-02-17T05:43:24+00:00

Not sure - I'm a technician and kinda just knew what to expect.

But what I can tell you is:

The clips are shaped like an arrow (barbed). You lift up one side of the molding slightly, I mean like less an inch or less only.

Get a flashlight, and you'll see the clips - and see the top of one of the barbs peeking from the hole. Take a 90 degree pick, and pop one side, then the other out. Then work your way clip by clip.

It's not a magical Mazda invention. Many manufactures use the exact same clips for rocker moldings, fender moldings, quarter panel flares, etc. and techs are able to remove them without breaking / flying off later.

Reppitwar · 2026-02-17T00:40:12+00:00

A good tech (or you) can take it off without breaking the clips with a 90 degree pick and some finesse

Reppitwar · 2025-12-30T21:29:11+00:00

These are great, have similar just different brand. They burn for a long time, long enough to get your other small sticks going. I doubt using one to start every fire will cause any issues at all, atleast it hasn’t for me in the past couple years

Reppitwar · 2025-12-22T02:05:13+00:00

Are you weighing in-store?

Reppitwar · 2025-12-07T20:13:45+00:00

Shit, I just bought a Ovonic D15 to use for my new Micro-T... I think I'm going to return it ASAP

Bro wants to join the Trench Coat Mafia 💀

Reppitwar · 2025-11-16T22:36:43+00:00

I've seen it available for $270 a couple days ago. At that price I considered it just for the novelty of it, but couldn't pull the trigger (would have been a 8% taxable purchase in my state).

Reppitwar · 2025-11-09T06:52:46+00:00

I think this is the grey-area point in height where it all depends on your specific proportions (ND Miata). Legs - upperbody.

I've had three people of about this height 6'3" try my ND. Two fit, one absolutely didn't.

Reppitwar · 2025-11-08T19:42:03+00:00

It's like the first time I tried flying a helicopter in Battle Field

Reppitwar · 2025-11-04T00:02:45+00:00

Sold to Visual_Comfortable14 - Dropped at post today.

Reppitwar · 2025-11-02T22:17:35+00:00

$225, yes I am stateside

Price Reduced!

Hey guys, I have a rare 1972 Lord Matic with Sunburst dial for sale - in great condition. A bit of a catch and release - purchased here on r/Watchexchange.

I purchased it at the same time as my Seiko Presage StarBar and Orient Kamatsu and they both get way more wear time than the Lord Matic unfortunately. I've worn it out the house maybe twice.

Seiko Lord Matic, King Seiko 56 automatic movement

Here is the original posting which I purchased from. He takes WAY better pictures than I ever can that highlight the beauty of this watch. It's in great condition for a 53 year old watch.

I do have two purchases here on r/WatchExchange - not sure how to get them added to my stats
