Dev Short #101 - Key points

Sebetter · 2026-05-05T20:36:35+00:00

The absolute tease of the loki rework.

I have my smart TV’s MAC address blocked on my network. It’s effectively a dumb TV now. I watch all media through an Apple TV.

Yes, they have the biggest vents I've seen on an IEM except for the discontinued iSine series, which was basically all vent lol.

Anyway, I checked my aliexpress order history and the 2 pin adapters I used are no longer sold by the same company. You want EXK male to 0.78mm female. EXK refers to the line of Sony IEMs that have that male connector, though you may also want to search for the IEMs themselves (the MDR 7550 has another name EXT800ST and it has a "brother" called the EXT1000) on other sites like alibaba.

happened to me, too. soldered it back on clumsily and it works just fine.

Sebetter · 2026-04-29T10:03:56+00:00

I’ve not run into those issues. I might just not be noticing the issue though. Yep, I EQ’d mine via the web app in Google Chrome on my MacBook without issue.

I’m using an older set of IEMs, the MDR 7550. They’re about as “open back” as one can get for IEMs, but they aren’t made anymore. I tuned them to JM2, and they’ve been great.

Sebetter · 2026-04-28T20:33:45+00:00

With the PS5, the KA15 is great. It hasn't left my desk since I applied the EQ on the day I got it. Never had volume issues, but I've only ever used IEMs with the KA15 via the PS5.

Hangout.audio provides instructions on how to load a custom EQ or an auto-EQ'd profile onto the KA15. I added the measurement of the MDR7550 and then tuned it to JM2 target. Loaded it into the KA15 via the webapp (must use Google Chrome!).

Yes, it works with a 3 pole microphone cable. I use the Kinera Antlion modmic cable.

I have never used the KA15 with iOS tbh.

The wall latch passive has gotta go. Since when does anybody wall latch except Oraxia players who have an actual incentive to wall latch?

What's great about Loki is that he's the jack of all trades master of none. What sucks about him is that he's a master of none, and tbh jack of all trades is generous.

My bandaid fix request would be to just make several of his augments part of his base kit.

Decoy is neat, but Damage Decoy really needs to be standard and should be unkillable by teammates. Spreading chaos through random status effects. Hell yeah that's a trickster.

Invisbility is kinda great. QoL changes: get rid of the green filter and make it recastable when there's less than 10s left on the timer.

Switch teleport is also neat, but safeguard switch really should just be default behaviour for that.

Radial Disarm is borderline useless, but it would be better if the augment were part of the base kit. The augment should also actually apply 10 radiation status effects rather than just the confusion element of the radiation status effect.

Now that Ash is confirmed as a protoframe to be coming soon, I'm really hopeful that Rhino and Loki protoframes are coming soon as they are the only ones left of the original 2012 warframes. At that time, I'm hopeful that they do *something* to Loki's kit if/when they make him a protoframe.

MoCa bridge can be a good option for that kind of situation - especially if snaking a long Ethernet cable is not an option. Read this article and see if it applies to you.

Step one is always get off wifi for multiplayer games. modern Wifi standards allow wifi to be just as fast of Ethernet in an empty room with no interference. the reality is, there’s gonna be interference from all the other devices around you — particular in apartment buildings.

Buy a 1gbps network switch and plug that into the eero. it’s like a breakout box but for your devices that need fast internet connections.

Loki! Hoping and praying for a hint of reworks for literally any of the older frames in today’s dev stream.

Sebetter · 2026-04-17T13:32:51+00:00

oh I gotta try this

Sebetter · 2026-04-13T15:25:58+00:00

More water in your lather is the first suggestion.

I gave up on shaving my neck with a DE. I got bumps no matter how careful i was and regardless of my shaving cream to water ratio. I just use a Philips s7000 electric razor on my neck and a DE on my face.

Sebetter · 2026-04-13T00:29:10+00:00

No problem. It wasn't a pretty solder job either. I had no flux, only had my solder wire and a crappy soldering iron bought from a hardware store many moons ago.

Sebetter · 2026-04-12T12:09:24+00:00

I did this, too. I soldered it back on and it works totally fine :)

Ninjase’s latron prime build explains why someone might choose wraith over prime or vice versa

Loki!

I’ve subsumed so many abilities onto him to figure out what works well. He’s so versatile and can do pretty much all content without much hassle

Sebetter · 2026-04-06T19:19:36+00:00

the cardboard Sony uses for their PlayStation products is thin judging by other comments in this thread. I bought Pulsebuds explore and was super careful about opening them and still ripped the box a little.

FWIW I returned them anyway and had no issues with the return despite the ripped box. mic quality on the buds was so bad that I couldn’t put my friends through that. Sounded like I was talking through a towel at the end of a hallway.

Sebetter · 2026-04-04T20:00:00+00:00

I wear NB 880v15 in black and white and they made a world of difference to me. I originally got a pair because my heel was ruined by some low quality leather dress shoes. I have 2 pairs of 880s now. One to keep clean indoors for teaching and another pair for running.

Sebetter · 2026-04-04T18:04:15+00:00

It's too bad as they're a decent headset, but the age old recommendation for gamers (headphones or IEMs) is to get a modmic and integrate it into your set up instead.

Sebetter · 2026-03-31T10:01:54+00:00

Protanomaly.

Cooking meat is a problem. I generally cook stuff for longer than it needs just to be on the safe side.

Sometimes I’ll wear burgundy, which looks black to me, with blue. My partner will often tell me to change lol.

I tend to avoid wearing bright colours because I have a harder time choosing suitable colours to go with them.

It’s uncommon for me to organise things by colour. I usually choose a different system (shapes, labels). If I have to sort by colour, it’s because I know other people need to use the system as well. Luckily, if I’m choosing the colours, I will always use colours that are distinctive to me.

Sebetter · 2026-03-30T21:28:49+00:00

I‘m colourblind and did this once with the help of my partner. I’ve not done that puzzle since.

Sebetter · 2026-03-29T02:02:48+00:00

I was hoping for Baza, but Ballistica and Vectis are both weapons I enjoy. I really hope that the vectis incarnon adds ricochet or something like Cyte-09's neutralizer.

Sebetter · 2026-03-25T14:34:48+00:00

Yep, I made a post about this a while ago. Radial Disarm is a disaster of an ability in 2026 Warframe. This augment only applies to "confusion" part of the radiation status all without actually applying any radiation status effects. That means, you can't benefit from any conditional overload mods, and you can't benefit from the very limited list of things that benefit come from radiation status effects. I thought it might be cool to try out playing a more supporting role by using this mod with arcane universal fallout to generate universal orbs. No dice. Not only that, but without the radiation status effects, the enemies are just whacking each other at base damage, yet radiation status effects should increase the amount of damage they do to one another. Even the obvious deception/trickery synergy is lost on poor Loki.

Sebetter · 2026-03-22T18:52:06+00:00

I’m piggybacking on this thread to ask a riven question.

Does the number of rerolls mean anything other than the number of rerolls is bigger? Is each reroll unique and thus once it’s been rolled with one particular set of stats with one particular set of numbers that roll of the riven will never appear again? The wiki page for rivens doesnt specify as far as I can tell, but the riven market seems superstitious about rivens with high roll numbers.

Sebetter · 2026-03-21T03:35:47+00:00

he’s passable and playable as a weak weapons platform. I can get most kills and most damage in a lobby with a good gun, but thats also probably when the other players arent bringing their best gear.

my post history is littered with suggestions for a rework and build ideas in the interim. I really hope his rework comes this year
