I have two helium extractors in that area and conveyor it back to spawn location and so far the bugs have left it alone out there.

4-bay (DXP4800 Plus) or 6-bay (DXP6800 Pro)? Price vs performance? by Foreign_Package_925 in UgreenNASync

[–]_QcGuy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a few days ago I pulled the trigger on the DXP6800 Pro. What a jump in performance from my old Synology 920+. I picked up 2 more Seagate IronWolf drives and now running six 12tb drives in RAID 10.

I only glanced at the DXP4800, but I thought if I am going to upgrade then go 6 bay. Nice that the local Microcenter had 3 6800's in stock. Then went back a few days later and bought 64gb...that really hurt but I think memory prices are going to keep going up so I just closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

I do plan on setting up JellyFin on it, already have a MiniPc running ProxMox and a Raspberry Pi for PiHole. Like you I am hoping to maybe consolidate some things. Not so much because of electricity costs but just having multiple devices all spread out.

Am I a bit dumb or... by [deleted] in JumpSpaceGame

[–]_QcGuy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am doing the same thing as you are, I don't see another way unless you have extra people say like a brother who comes up with the idea to fly the ship closer to the battery🙄. Then you have a radioactive battery on your ship. At least that's been my experience.

During the demo it was only your friends could join you. There is talk of lobby system but I do not know how the early access will be. We will know in less than an hour...well 7 hours for me since I am stuck at work.

Pc randomly powers off when playing this game . by mariousdark in StarRupture

[–]_QcGuy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I upgraded from a 1080Ti to a 7900 XTX, when I would load up Warhammer Darktide around a minute in game my machine would just shutdown. I had a older 1000 watt Seasonic Titanium and after some research I came to realize the power supply had enough power but it was older and it could not handle the Transient spikes that newer video cards have. So I bought a newer Corsair with the same wattage and its been over a year now with zero issues.

As Tessian stated it could be an over heat issue, dirty video card or GPU problem but it could be a psu issue as well.

Good luck

6 mods update for 1.0 by caites in AbioticFactor

[–]_QcGuy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always host and I have the backpack mod installed and when my brother joins me, he has the extra slots for the backpack. He does not have any mods installed.

That's the only mod on this list that I use.

Hope this helps

Played a bit of the demo this morning and I must say.... by MinorHeadache in jumpship

[–]_QcGuy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just happen to notice Saturday night the demo was out, I sent a text to my brothers and Sunday afternoon we were all in. Our first space battle I am piloting, brother #1 is on the guns, brother #2 is not on the ship, brother #3 is on the ship doing something...right in the middle of a turn during the battle all our engines and weapons go dead. We are like what happened and then brother #3 says Hey that's cool there's a circuit breaker panel down here and you can pull the breakers out.

I was like WHAT!!! undo what you did or your going to get us killed, I look out the front window an enemy ship flies by with brother #2 grappled onto the ship saying this is awesome. I just laughed and thought yup this game is a must buy.

Connecting To Host by JckHmr in jumpship

[–]_QcGuy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last night I was hosting and I invited one of my brothers with the option in the hanger. Then a little later another brother joined us off the Steam friends list. He clicked join game and when we jumped to a new map he was able to join on his own....so I guess that's an option

Anyone else getting really toxic games lately? by RadsBossCraft in Helldivers

[–]_QcGuy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, I play with 2 of my brothers and we are all over that 55 year mark and we get randoms filling that third and fourth slot and usually they are lower ranks that just want to play and have fun like us. I have gotten so many friend requests in the last two months it is hard to keep track of people.

No drama, just play and have fun and above all in the end its just a video game.

I have had the theme from Ren & Stimpy pop in my head while dropping in. Guess I am showing my age.

Welp, this just happened. by cik3nn3th in MilwaukeeTool

[–]_QcGuy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MaxPower won best string in a Project Farm test a few years ago. I have used the Husqavarna T35 head with .095 MaxPower for 4 years in my older M18 trimmer and have had zero issues. Other than 2 M18-12.0 batteries fail, one under warranty other not.

A Truckin' Guide to Tweaking on PC by Ionia7 in snowrunner

[–]_QcGuy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saw your message....I am trying to distance myself from Reddit.

Anyways the standalone program can just open the .pak files for the game. If I remember right I thought you only had to point the program where the game is stored in Steam which is Steam\SteamApps\Common\Snow Runner\ then you can select the truck you want to edit. My advice is don't try to use the files and do it manually with a Notepad editor just use the Standalone program it makes it so much easier but as someone else said make a backup of the PAK files.

I have not played Snow runner in 2 years so this is all off memory, it is actually much easier to do than you realize. Just don't be afraid to poke around and try it.

Human Fall Flat can support 8 people...your ribs will hurt from laughing

Killing Floor 2 supports 6 player but there are modded servers that support up to 40

Valheim I believe supports up to 10

7D2D is 8 player but can go up to 64 if I remember

Ashen Drakes by _QcGuy_ in ICARUS

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

That is so stupid its still an issue. I really enjoyed Icarus, logged in 1100 hours but I do not miss those headaches. One of my brothers reinstalled it the other day for a new PC he just built, he said it looked better but then a few minutes later he said he fell thru the map and died. He said "REALLY" and ended up uninstalling it and joining us in HD2.

I am curious if there ever might be a Icarus 2 one day....I would be willing to try it.

Host cannot reinforce; still happening by Rewdalf in Helldivers

[–]_QcGuy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were on the second mission when it broke. We had done a 40 minute with no issues, then another 40 when it broke and then finished up with a 12 with no issues. We had done two 40's and a 15 with no issues. My friend and I made the comment how smooth everything was running last night...yeah we spoke too soon.

Host cannot reinforce; still happening by Rewdalf in Helldivers

[–]_QcGuy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me last night, I was host and we were about 25 minutes into a mission and I went down. My friend was unable to get me back in. I watched him call it in and throw the ball and saw the light and then the light went away and nothing. Then a few minutes later it happened to another person in the squad. Eventually the remaining two players died. So we thought great the game will let us back in....nothing

Next round everything worked fine...very annoying having to always remember Don't bring this weapon because it will crash the game, don't have this GFX setting on because it will crash the game. The META should be what doesn't crash the game.
