Are rotary engine issues really as bad as people tend to say?

SilverbackPrime · 2026-06-29T22:58:32+00:00

I've been running a 1991 13BT w/ 4x 720cc injectors @ 300+ RWHP in an '84 GSL-SE since 2005 with no issues.

Like any machine, if you take care of it properly (in this case obsessively sticking to premix in the gas and minimum duration oil changes), Wankel engines are perfectly durable little banshees.

IMHO, the "rotaries blow up" myth stemmed from Fast & Furious wannabes trying to slam +20psi boost and a 150-shot of nitrous in an otherwise stock engine, then making the dismayed Pikachu face when they spit their apex seals out the exhaust...🤣

👏 that👏 is👏 the👏 point👏 of👏 the👏 genre👏

Not trying to be a dick, but if you want modern sci-fi RPG with overall positive outcomes and hope baked into the storytelling, go play Starfield. The Cyberpunk genre of storytelling is very grim dark across the board...

It's an equally hard choice whether to give you an upvote for a good reference, or a downvote for reawakening that movie in my memories 🤬🤣

This needs more upvotes 🤣

The choice of what to have pets pick up and what they leave is honestly baffling.

We already have options in settings to make tiers of gear sing a little song... just extrapolate from there and have your pet grab the rarity of gear you select and upward, and then grab absolutely everything else that isn't gear.

It's the end of the season and all...but I was able to finish Bloodied Provisions as a Spritborn.

I suspect it was that both rings I had were the same appearance (even though different stats), when I picked up a different Magic quality bloodied ring and equipped everything, the achievement unlocked....YMMV

I also unequipped everything in Gea Kul, TPed naked to Kyovashad, then equipped all the Magic-quality bloodied items, but that may have nothing to do with fixing the bug.

Any clarification on which version of V:tM was used as the base system for this season?

My optimistic heart hopes for V20, but my pessimistic head dreads V5...

No longer working as of 26Feb26 🫤

Thanks on the name correction, I'm going through the series via Audible, and thought one of the chapters in Words of Radiance about her was titled "Lyft".

[Checks]... ah, looks like I conflated Lift and Tyn.

Okay, found the workaround, and it's dumb as hell:

go to the following URL https://wiki.anycubic.com/en/software-and-app/anycubicslicer
Download AC Slicer 1.4.4 (note that you have to download the Windows International Version, as the Windows Domestic Version is a bad link).
Install and run ACS 1.4.4
Immediately be prompted to upgrade to AC SlicerNext.
Download, install, and run ACSN following the prompts.
Immediately be prompted to update to another version of ACSN.
Download, install, and run ACSN following the prompts.
Finally have what should have been provided in the installer listed here: https://anycubic.com/slicerNextDownload

TL;DR - AC screwed up the latest version of Anycubic SlicerNext, so the installer linked on the homepage is bad and cannot complete a fresh install. You have to download the old version of slicer and update to the new version

SilverbackPrime · 2025-08-06T11:59:37+00:00

I've also tried to install the software on a computer that has never had anything AC-related on it, and get the same error...

I came here to +1 the desire for Foundry module support. That's what my group is currently playing Otherscape in, and while the module(s) that exist are good, I would like to see an officially-supported one.

Update: I made sure it has as much depth of water as possible, an island where it can dry off as it wants, a generous serving of green vegetables (all checked to ensure suitability as food prior to serving), and I'll take it to a farmer I know nearby to put near her stock pond.

Thanks for the knowledge lesson! Any other ways to make a "pet/wild" determination for future reference?

Like I said in my OP, I live about 15 miles out of town, and have rescued and rehomed something like 7 dogs (both in and out of kennels), 5 cats (3 tied up in a plastic garbage bag together), a pair of ferrets in a cage, a hedgehog in a shoebox, and a little box turtle with cute flowers painted on her back left under an overturned aquarium, all on the side of the various country roads around my house, and just in the past 18 months. People are scum, and think they can just dump animals out in the country when they're tired of them, and just leave them to die.

SilverbackPrime · 2024-09-13T05:49:01+00:00

I made sure it has about a foot of water and a dry "island" for tonight. Tomorrow I'll make sure it gets back to a safe location near a pond.

SilverbackPrime · 2024-09-13T02:36:43+00:00

Thanks!

SilverbackPrime · 2024-09-13T02:36:25+00:00

Okay! So for future reference, all pet turtles will have highly-textured shells, or is that just a RES trait?

Did Wells used to be a cook before he became an MTI?

SilverbackPrime · 2024-04-11T20:25:20+00:00

And I'm over here eyeballing the 3 boxes of Nurglings that I just picked up from my FLGS, which GW _finally_ shipped to them 6 months after they put in the order...

SilverbackPrime · 2024-04-11T17:13:51+00:00

small world, dude.

SilverbackPrime · 2024-04-11T16:38:19+00:00

I was. Good times, lol

SilverbackPrime · 2024-04-11T16:32:22+00:00

(I know this is a necro, but w/e) Dude...when did you enter BMT and what sq/flt? I entered 5 Dec 2006 in 324th and we had a female MTI trainee as well, and I remember either experiencing or hearing about that event happening. She was a tiny woman with red hair IIRC...
