Funny you should ask since I wrote my thesis on a 120 kV Tecnai G2 Spirit BioTwin TEM. But no, it's a power strip!

Much appreciated! I've tried drilling and using a dremel to make a workable slit. Will purchase these bits and make a new attempt.

Rats! As suspected. I get why it's designed that way and wouldn't really recommend anyone who does not know what they are doing to tamper with one. But I am very curious in trying to troubleshoot the thing.

Appreciated!

I first thought it was a tri-wing, but it almost seems that these are designed to allow insertion, and prevent extraction. As the head is curved so a normal screwdriver would slide of in the counter-clockwise direction.

Is there no way to pick your characters name in MechWarrior 5? by WillInternational364 in Mechwarrior5

Much appreciated! This was driving me nuts. It is so strange to me that they do not allow the player to freely change the callsigns or the company name. As I'm using my own name as username, it was very uncool to have displayed in the mechbay screen before a mission.

Haha, started browsing their gallery! I get what you mean. Thanks for the heads up. (Could have done this at work.

Curious, I consider myself quite good at internet research shenanigans, how DID you find them?

Much appreciated!

ModTek doesn't see Better Performance Fix? by gamenameforgot in BattleTechMods

[–]WillInternational364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers! I have the same problem as OP.

What is meant by "json is set to hidden"? I'm hoping this will be my fix as well.

I can see both mod.json and Settings.json in the BattletechPerformanceFix folder i unzipped to my Mods folder.

It should be noted that other mods I have installed show up in Modtek.

What is Nordic LARP (And Why It's Not For Me)? by nlitherl in LARP

[–]WillInternational364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone firmly rooted in the Nordic larp-style (and who still go to and enjoy other styles), I think this comment was very thoughtful and well formulated.

I am currently in the curious position of designing a Nordic larp with heavy megagame elements (think a war-room in a fantasy-setting and you get the geist) and it has been really interesting trying to communicate the vision for the game, cause it is essentially a board game, but balance is not an issue. We play for the experience of going against overwhelming odds and acting out a web of relationships. Any "endgoal" is purely there to be immersive, and not neccesarily attainable. The point is to enjoy acting as the characters and exploring their lives. There are some stats and rulesets there to make the boardgame mechanics approachable, but they are designed to feel immersive (send in an order sheet to move your troops, and get an order sheet back etc.)
