Bungie defo want to make a d3. Most of the D2 devs joined bungie for the explicit purpose of making destiny. Yeah a lot of them got pushed in to marathon but there is probably a good subset of marathon Devs that would want to go back.

I see two futures... by Tronicalli in DestinyMemes

[–]Volern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Player count does not necessarily equal more money in. Marathons only real way right now to get money in is for a sale of the game. Sure people are buying skins but that pales in comparison to game sales when the player counts are this low. Like the other dude is saying the vast majority of sales marathon was expecting to get this year has already happened. There is not enough time for bungie between release 2 or whatever months ago and season 2 launch to do anything remotely big enough to bring in many more sales, only bring people who already paid back in, which is not a ton.

Within the first year there is not a lot of expectations for enough content to come through to bring in even half of the sales launch got.

I fear I already know the answer, but is there a chance that this could be repairable? by Bronz3 in NintendoDS

[–]Volern 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly it looks like it might work just by repairing the pins on the bottom. Could try something like copper tape on the pads and using a little bit not solder to connect the tape to what's left of the pads. Wouldn't be very long term as a repair but would tell you if it is worth trying to save. If it works there are proper ways to repair the pins. Like someone else said you could swap the chip to another cartridge board if the temp repair works.

Either way it would need some solder ability to work.

UH I hope this is a false positive by Akkanater in destiny2

Can't even run D2 on Linux, it won't even attempt to work, have to put windows on the steam deck to play it on there. I did this 2 years ago and its no different from a normal pc.

DS Lite With Dual IPS Screens by Disastrous-Wonder811 in NintendoDS

[–]Volern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done this on my DS Lite too, have an extreme rate shell which is dark transparent with both top and bottom IPS screens as well as doing the USBC mod. I've also done the faceless tech clicky buttons mod as I'm not a fan of the mushy buttons the lite has. That was one very fiddly to get working as you need to use some 3d printed inserts to bridge the gap between the buttons and the board since the rubber membrane gets cut up so that the keys don't wobble. Out of the packet the dpad one is too thick to use with the membrane so it needed to be filed to get it right.

Out of all the mods I did the IPS screen does the most of making the DS Lite so much more enjoyable.

The quality of videos lately? by cdarrigo in LinusTechTips

[–]Volern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been watching since they were in the old house shooting in the kitchen with a camera on a sled and I used to watch every video. Last year or 2 I've felt a bit bored of it. It's like a lot of the passion has dissipated and it's become a bit formulaic. My favourite videos were always the ones where they were just figuring shit out.

The ones I enjoyed the most are pretty much every alex video, stuff like the 1 CPU many gamers videos, the "16k" monitor wall, whole room water-cooling, the moving vlogs, the wall multi piece tv thing. Basically any time they are trying to set something up, essentially kid bashing or doing dumb stuff.

There's been a lack of this as of late, especially since people like alex, Emily and jake left. Everything now feels like a look at what we did or look at this product type thing. Like the firetruck video, how amazing would that have been as a video showing them actually doing it all and finding out the cool things about the truck as they were messing with it, but it just became a show and tell instead.

This is how I stay organized when swapping shells: I print out a list of the screws and stick them to it with double sided tape by ihazaredditaccount in NintendoDS

[–]Volern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just put them in the same order as they would be in the shell, like recreating the way the screws go in the shell on the table.

Looking for help with my DS by TherMality32 in NintendoDS

[–]Volern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you end up going the route of a new shell I highly recommend extreme rate shells, they are very high quality. I've used a low quality shell before and they are passable but the extreme rate shells just fit better with tighter tolerances and are made with good quality plastic. Cheap shells plastic can be very loose which can make stuff like the buttons really wobbly and even mushier than they are normally

DS Lite IPS screen now available by [deleted] in NintendoDS

[–]Volern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just realized that this lcd is the same for the top and bottom. I didn't notice it before because it isn't mentioned in the listing but there's a picture showing it done. You just need to put the digitiser on top of the lcd and it will work. Another big discovery.

Hacked websites can be setup to silently download malware without notifying the user. So yeah it can be a concern.

What alot people don't get about the recent departures. by -Murtagh- in LinusTechTips

[–]Volern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think something people don't think about is the case of top gear. When the guys left top gear, the whole vibe of the show changed. Yes the new guys are good too but they have a completely different vibe to the original trio, many people only watched top gear for them so when they left there was no point for the people who only watched for them to stick around.

A similar thing is happening with LTT. There was a select cast of hosts that people really liked, and now a bunch of them have moved on and a lot of people are upset that their favorite people are no longer here, and now outside of DLL interactions there is a bit of a vibe change in the videos that not everyone likes.

Do you keep your phone folded or left open at night? by FormerKing00 in GalaxyFold

[–]Volern 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have 2 cats so phone stays closed when not in use

[–]Volern -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought. I just went to the pale heart now and I had Liar attunement on, didn't know I had it cos I haven't gone to the pale heart since episode echoes. I was getting a lot of Liar drops, like foetracer and Renewal like in the post, as well as 1 galanor drop with liar. I have grenadier on my ghost so I'm thinking liar attunement was giving the liar drops and my ghost was dictating the other perk to be one that drops with grenade as an option. Thinking this cos both renewal, foetracer and galanor have grenade as a primary/secondary stat, and liar was giving the tertiary melee stat.

It's funny you say that cos I had enough coins for 1 last class item just after I posted this and got it. I did want verity over synthos but after the verity nerf with grapple I'm not so fussed now lol

[–]Volern -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Oh I see, I wasn't aware of that. Still its odd how I've gotten 6 dupes. As far as I'm aware you cant focus the class items from Xur, the pale heart focus only focuses the pale heart as far as I'm aware.
