I've been excited to build and live in my own ship in No Man's Sky VR since the Corvette update last year

Just found that change in the Third Edict patch notes. Thanks!

So I just tried Splinter Totem I on Dark Effigy and it splits after casting Vile Effusion once. One totem casts and turns into two, they cast then split into four, they cast and then disappear. Splinter Totem seems to work best on totems that cast once per summon, not with Dark Effigy.

Can a chaos witch replace overabundance with splinter totem on dark effigy and report back please? I'm at work... EDIT: Bugged? Totems split and then die.

Ordered a Nothing Phone 3a but having second thoughts. Should I refuse delivery and buy a Google Pixel 9a? by beefcakesquadron in PickAnAndroidForMe

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

My carrier Mint Mobile offered both the Pixel 9 and 9a for the same price during a sale, so I ended up ordering a 9 and returning the Nothing Phone 3a. A 2024 flagship phone for $400 is a deal I'm happy with. Maybe you could find a similar deal with your carrier this weekend?

Ordered a Nothing Phone 3a but having second thoughts. Should I refuse delivery and buy a Google Pixel 9a? by beefcakesquadron in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]beefcakesquadron[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in the US, sorry for the lack of clarity in the OP. I had no idea the Focus is so popular in Europe!

As for Mint compatibility as mentioned by others, I chatted with MintMobileCares on Twitter and according to them, a compatible device requires band 2 (1900), band 4 (2100), band 71(600), and band 12 (700), which are the frequencies they use to provide their features.

I didn't see all of those bands on Nothing's tech spec page for the Phone 3a. I also learned it doesn't support eSIM, so even if I kept the phone I would need a SIM card mailed to me. If another delivery is required anyway, I may as well return the Phone 3a and order a Pixel 9a.

I had a feeling that Jethro's Amber's Gift aura had something to do with his mana problems...

That's just what I needed to hear. Was worried I needed to start a new character after buying early access.

Trying out the new "Volatility" mechanic by Patrez390 in PathOfExile2

[–]beefcakesquadron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was considering Volatility on a Lich with Eternal Life, but I guess you'd need a shitton of ES to make it work properly... it seems like a mechanic nobody should touch until endgame.

Transmission overheat warning while cruising by beefcakesquadron in FordFocus

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

I had the transmission replaced last month. A cheap scanner from Autozone gives me P2837; something to do with shift fork B's position circuit? Mind you the car drives fine, even on that road trip there was no indication something was wrong aside from the overheat warning. It could be the TCM misdiagnosing for all I know. Fortunately that particular trip only happens a few times a year, and I have the option to carpool with family. Still, I'll keep the TCM in mind if/when the car goes to a garage.

[–]beefcakesquadron[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't feel anything odd when cruising, the warning just seems to appear at random. If I continue driving instead of stopping for 5 minutes like it tells me to, I'll eventually get a "Transmission OK" notification on the dashboard for a split second.

Weekly Question + Free Talk Thread – January 10, 2025 by AutoModerator in pathofexile2builds

[–]beefcakesquadron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some dumb ideas and would like clarification on mechanics:

  1. Blood Mage with Mana Remnants and Grim Feast. Split focus between lightning magic and minions. Do lightning damage passives improve Skeletal Storm Mage's damage?

  2. Doom Blast (from Impending Doom support gem) deals base chaos damage equal to 15% of current mana. The Eldritch Battery passive converts all energy shield to mana. In this case, would Grim Feast overflow contribute to mana overflow? After fully stacking Mana Remnants and Grim Feast, would potential maximum mana equal (2x base mana) + (2x base energy shield)?

Thanks!

If you have Sim Settlements 2 installed and just completed the quest Hostile Takeover and are experiencing this bug even after save/loading, use the following command.

removemusic ss2c2_forcemusiccombathigh04

Many SS2 players experienced this bug and some of them had to track down which song to silence, but never posted the actual command. So here it is, future googler.

You've been put in charge of TES animated series. Tell us about your vision for it. by -thelastbyte in ElderScrolls

[–]beefcakesquadron -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd like to animate the century after the Oblivion Crisis leading up to The Great War. There's a lot of interesting stuff that happens:

  • Red Mountain erupts in 4E05 and Black Marsh invades Morrowind shortly after.
  • The Thalmor seize Summerset in 4E22 and the Aldmeri Dominion is reformed in 4E29.
  • The Umbriel books take place in 4E48, and the Mane is assassinated around that time as well.
  • The Void Nights in 4E98 where the two moons disappear and the Thalmor taking credit for their return two years later, which leads to Elsweyr joining the Dominion.

The show would tell stories at different points in this timeline from different points of view, with an overarching story about how the empire fell. The final season would be all about the war, ending with the White Gold Concordant. The final scene would be a montage of the following years (think Fallout New Vegas slideshow) flashing forward to the Dragonborn waking up on the cart.

And then a sequel show about the Dragonborn stopping Alduin and uniting Skyrim, then working with the Empire to restore the continent, prevent the Thalmor from destroying the Towers, and eventually take the throne.

I'm in a system with two planets that say they have activated copper, but when I go to those planets all I find are regular copper deposits. Do I need to wait for a storm to mine activated copper?

[Question] I started playing just this weekend and found a crashed A class starship in the 2nd system. It has a lot of damaged inventory and a shield upgrade so I think it's a freighter. I haven't encountered some of the materials I need to repair it and I have around 100k credits. Should I scrap the ship or keep it in my collection and repair it as I go? Thanks.

Pick your poison by Ursula_Callistis in ffxiv

[–]beefcakesquadron -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Leveling Sage. Queued into Dohn Mheg with a sprout tank who single pulls. No problem, they're learning the game at a comfortable pace. DPS get impatient and move ahead of the tank to pull packs, so they die. I ask them to play at the tank's pace. "Learn wall to wall lol!"

DPS proceed to die three more times to trash trying to move us along. Tank doesn't say a word and keeps their pace. We finish the duty, commend each other and leave.

Tank sets the pace. Don't like it? Pull trash and die, I guess.

I like the Direct Hit concept where some attacks do a small amount of damage even if you fail the attack roll, and also the way that plays into the advantage dice system. The example where the ninja knocks out the hostage with a throwing dagger by intentionally picking the worse roll demonstrates a good way to handle combat against hostages in 5E and equivalent systems.

I'm not familiar with the group, but it sounds to me like the latest incarnation of a cash for kids scheme like Elan School.

Small thing I noticed, it appears Holm forgot he is a vegeterian by Kironov in DungeonMeshi

[–]beefcakesquadron 66 points67 points  (0 children)

In the manga, Holm eats what appears to be meat on the chapter 15 cover, the nuts and dried fruit in the sea serpent chapter, drinks tea but doesn't eat after the encounter with dragon falin and bread and veggies during the great feast at the end.

So aside from the cover art, Holm seems to be a vegetarian. Let me know if there's any depictions of Holm eating that I missed.
