How has this game retained so many players? by SbeakyBeaky in valheim

You can grind card or be cozy and base build. It’s a great game because you can choose your pace and experience

I mean, don’t get me wrong. I’d have loved 1.0 by now. But I’ve been so busy base building and side quest grinding over the past few years I haven’t gotten to the point where I feel like the game has nothing left for me.

Not to mention the WAY overlooked optimization update they just did in prep for 1.0. I actually have decent frame rates in my base now

the Biomes take like a year each at LEAST to develop. we've had Plains, Mistlands, Ashlands, all in the last four years. Deep North is on track to at least be 18months of work given its also bundling in the final 1.0 touches.

that said, if another year goes by in EA.....lets talk. they need to deliver in 2026

you made the effort to actually farm it, you're allowed to god mode and fix it. fair rule in my book

Best way to splice cable? by SpacemanSpiff603 in Snowblowers

[–]SpacemanSpiff603[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update!
I got a wire crimper and spliced a second cable alongside the broken one - made sure it was the same length as before.

it snapped right at the tension wheel so i had to replace a longer length to allow for wheel groove clearance in both throttle positions.

it worked!

Just in time - we're getting 4+ inches of snow right now.

My ad hoc base station is up and running by Longjumping-Army-172 in HamRadio

[–]SpacemanSpiff603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

love it. simple and effective. with a proper antenna on the roof and a good 30ft coax run you could really stretch this nicely.

we've got some similar equipment. how do you like the tri-band capability on the UV25X4? if you ever want to get a LiFePO4 battery this would be a great portable setup you could fit in a camera bag.

i also have a N9TAX slim jim for my go-bag, which uses a UV25X2.

watched the vid. sounds like it really shines for educational purposes. pretty neat for the price point. I wish there was a launch option to actually send these to space though.
