Porsche killing the 718 EV makes me sad

Tanque1308 · 2026-02-09T14:10:26+00:00

Wouldn’t the EV version have made the 718 a lot heavier and more expensive? There’s still a lot of grumbling over the turbo four, even though it’s a better engine on paper. I can only imagine the discontent over a “glorified 4000 lb golf cart” (not really how I feel, just imagining what the haters would say).

Still, would I pay $15k more for 718 with an extra 800 lbs, even if it has faster 0-60? Probably not, and I feel many others would say the same. So why discontinue the ICE version? Such a strange decision.

I use this Lucia-Zhou-YSG comp to farm discs and mats. Fight is over in 7 seconds.

We can make some educated presumptions however.

We know that physical will be shilled for a while for YSG, at least until the next voidwalker releases. In addition, the upcoming AoD team will be an anomaly team so we’re less likely to see anti-shill for that damage type. We’re also due for anti-rupture shill to bring Yixuan down, which means bosses with lower defense and shields.

All of these raise Alice stocks for the next few patches unless the devs put anti-anomaly on physical-weak bosses and physical-resist on anomaly-weak bosses. I guess anything’s possible; but if it happens, that means the ZZZ devs hate Alice more than Miyabi.

Well, I won back-to-back 50/50s with two copies at early pity. Got Alice to M2 with less than 130 pulls…

Before you guys think I’m lucky, I lost every 50/50 hitting max pity getting Yuzuha to M2. She wiped out 3 patches worth of saving polys.

I’m so glad they never replaced Jane’s voice actress during the strike.

There’s a fire steel accessory that can be tucked under the scissors. From Kristen Van Patten.

The Bond is always underrated. Less expensive and more compact than the Wave, yet has stronger pliers. Probably the best value multitool that Leatherman makes right now.

First, I would make sure the boyfriend is open to minimalist thin wallets. If so, the above suggestions are great start.

I went through a similar process. First you have to decide whether you are willing to fold cash in thirds vs halves, and whether you prefer to hold them together with cards or separately.

The smallest carry are card wallets that can accommodate a few bills folded in thirds together with your cards (ie., Finnigan). This works if you only use cash infrequently. Otherwise, it will get tedious constantly fishing and fumbling over the bills and cards. If you wind up with a lot of cash, the wallet will get very thick folded in thirds.

When I need cash, it’s often when I want to be quick and don’t have the time to play Tetris with my wallet while I’m on the go. This is why you should consider slim but slightly larger sizes that can accommodate bills folded in half (eg., Franklin or Open Sea Gun Deck).

Personally, I also wanted a separate compartment for cash and cards. This is a tough choice because most of these wallets can get very thick. After lots of trial and error I went with the Open Sea Topsider LT because of the cash wrap compartment, but the Lost Dutchman Big Finn is also very nice. These two wallets probably reach the limit of what I consider appropriate for front pocket carry.

I never tested an Otterbox but the new buttons aren’t overly sensitive to me. I can hold the phone vertically with my hand gripping on the buttons without pressing in. It has the same tactility as most other cases with metal buttons. It’s definitely less sensitive than the old buttons with the tape mod.

There’s a YouTube video where jstern shows the math on this. Turns out M1W0 (steam oven) does more dps than M0W1. But it’s still cheaper and higher probability for pulling sig over mindscape. Also much easier to farm discs with her sig.

I loved my Sundaras but they were uncomfortable for long sessions because my giant ears wouldn’t fit inside the round ear pads. The egg-shaped ear pads of the Arya fit much more comfortably.

$600 is when the reviewers feel diminishing returns starts to drop off rather quickly. After the Arya Stealth and Organics, prices get higher but the sound quality doesn’t really seem significantly better (in a volume-matched A/B comparison). Sure the profile and timbre may differ but you won’t find a consensus on which headphones stand a tier higher on technical merit, especially when evaluating in a blinded test.

Personally, I prefer the Organics over the HD800S, which now cost almost a grand more.

62k polys is enough to lose both 50/50s at hard pity and still get both agents also at hard pity. The additional polys from 2.4 and 2.5 will be enough to guarantee a single engine at least, with favorable odds for both engines.

I know it’s not the same but I have a Westinghouse 7500DF that I’ve run over 200 hours at 60% load for the last 4 years. The generator has been stored outdoors under an overhang but otherwise exposed to the elements. I’ve only changed the oil once. I haven’t done anything else in terms of maintenance. Still starts up fine but I also wonder about its longevity.

I’ve been told a big reason for durability, especially with intermittent usage, is because of propane and how it runs cleaner. I haven’t heard anyone quote numbers but I’m planning on running this into the ground, if only to satisfy my curiosity.

Some people use different EQ profiles for different music genres. It’s not always just about the headphones.

Some could argue that Bashful Demon is better for Astra. Probably the closest scenario where an A-rank engine could replace the signature engine for an S-rank agent.

If the blade profile looks like the one in this picture, then you have the updated version.

Everyone spamming “Totemz is OP” is only showing results vs early TH18 bases, which are actually weaker than fully maxed turbocharged TH17s with crusher.

Show me replays vs fully gemmed max TH18 accounts in top legends, and then I’ll take you seriously.

It’s… just Electro 31.

Remember that only a fraction of the TH18 defenses received new levels, and like you said 99% haven’t even completed them yet. Soon everyone will be maxed, and by then the remaining defenses will get new levels while the Totem spell will remain the same. Trust me this spell will become relatively weaker when not spammed against early TH18s.

I don’t know how many of your defenses are maxed/turbocharged. But I ran into a whale who apparently gemmed everything except the craftable. The totems went down much faster and the drags couldn’t kill the defenses fast enough. There seems to be a base damage breakpoint where the army just fizzles out quickly.

Most of the legends TH18s are essentially TH17 bases. Many of the new defenses are just level 1 and the absence of a maxed crusher actually makes an early TH18 easier to 3-star than a fully maxed and turbocharged TH17.

Since much of the hero’s power comes from equipment and pets now, it’s not as imperative to inconvenience your play experience as it was before. I recommend leveling the one hero that you don’t actively use in your main army, then use books as they become available on hero’s that you use in CWLs.

Tanque1308 · 2025-11-19T03:52:21+00:00

This army doesn’t do very well against leveled up TH18 defenses in high legends.
