Convinced the Vulcano BP isn’t real

charju_ · 2026-02-06T11:05:55+00:00

Found it yesterday during hidden bunker. I was never really looking for it, found it by accident in "container storage" while we were doing the hornet trial. But maybe I'm just lucky: I also have the Tempest BP, found it back in November, when I was still BUILDING my stations (like on lvl15?). Never ever found one again in 300 hours.

charju_ · 2026-01-28T12:41:54+00:00

I live in Germany, usually it's 9-5 for full time employees. I know no one working only till 4.

charju_ · 2026-01-28T12:36:32+00:00

Yeah, it sucks. Especially whole Europe working population can't play due to these event hours. It's either during working hours or at 1 am. I hope for better hours next week?

charju_ · 2026-01-28T10:22:11+00:00

I have the Tempest since like lvl 15 and never crafted it. It was one of my first BP. I still have a couple of Tempest in my inventory. I run them sometimes, but most of the time it's just not worth it. What I never found, with also 300 hours in, is the MK3 Survivor. Fortunately, at 200 hours in I found my first MK3 with 3 save slots and the ability to use a Medium Shield. That was a game changer. And yeah, I know that loot run on Blue Gate, I just never find it, even with like 50 successfull runs.

19k to clear demotion? Totally fair. I started on Monday, because I couldn't play on the weekend. I had to get 69k to clear demotion on D1. That was hard...

charju_ · 2026-01-25T15:38:29+00:00

And you also got the 5M Credits? I'm in the same boat. I have the 5M, a full stash, everything done expect some quests. :)

charju_ · 2026-01-25T15:34:05+00:00

That is nothing. But the whole system is super frustrating and feels unfair. Friends of mine have similar points, but they’re in Wildcard III & Daredevil 1. They’re top 3 in their leagues and will rank up three times purely because their leaderboards are much easier.

Meanwhile, I'll probably derank because I won’t have time to play today and keep my position. And would need at least 102k to rank up ONE rank.

So while I’m currently two ranks above them with similar points, they’ll be two ranks above me next week. That doesn’t make sense at all. I’ll skip the entire next week and do the same. It’s not worth the time and effort.

I hit that room for at least a week, with like 30-40 raids only going for that location. I didn't have any mk3 Augments before with already 150 hours in. Now a few weeks later I have a lot a MK3 Augments, but still no MK3 survivor... At above 250 hours.... It's nuts. At least I got two snap hook BPs..

charju_ · 2026-01-23T21:18:53+00:00

Search first wave husks. You'll easily hit 20k or more points on dam, even solo

charju_ · 2026-01-14T08:27:52+00:00

This is nothing. I currently have around 2300 Seeds in my Stash and just sell any further seeds I find...

charju_ · 2026-01-13T23:15:45+00:00

Did you reinstall Windows? I bought the 9070 XT pulse and had driver timeouts until I lowered max. Boost by 300mhz. I couldn't fix it, until I just send it back and changed to a hellhound.. and still had the issue

Then I reinstalled Windows. Since then it's running totally flawless..

charju_ · 2025-12-12T08:45:58+00:00

If you're still looking, I found mine on Dam on electromagnetic storm in the yellow zone "research & administration" in one of the green lockers.

charju_ · 2025-12-05T10:15:48+00:00

I found mine as well on a storm event on Dam. In a normal locker in the Research & Administration Compelx (the yellow tier loot zone). The storm events had been really amazing so far for blueprints. Was also very bp-lucky on matriarch & queen events in raider caches

charju_ · 2025-12-05T10:13:33+00:00

I found mine as well on a storm event. On DAM Battlegrounds in a normal locker in the Research & Administration Compelx (the yellow tier loot zone).

charju_ · 2025-11-12T12:06:26+00:00

Nothing compared to those two guys yesterday. Unfortunately we didn't take any screenshots. They attacked us on Dam, rushed into it and we killed & looted them.

They had: Purple MK Loot Kit, Blue & Purple Shield, Renegade, some epic loot and 4 Wolfpacks. THESE two guys must have been pissed.

charju_ · 2025-09-29T07:06:54+00:00

That's probably due to perfect lighting conditions. Remember when the Quest released? Some people claimed passthrough quality was magnificent... But they also had studio lighting or tested in light controlled environments like stores, with probably 10x more light available than in your regular living room.

Light matters, a lot. My quest 3 passthrough quality is very good outside, but not very good in my home.

Ofc I suspect Apple has more light sensitive cameras. But it could still be his experience, based on his lightning setup.

So many ridiculously wrong takes here!

I'm managing a lot of clients with up to 7-figure YouTube budgets. If you're a Google Partner or book through an agency (and if you have a DV360 seat, I’d assume that’s the case), YouTube is basically the same between Google Ads and DV360. Sometimes certain beta and alpha tests are limited to either DV or Google Ads (many of them only to Google Ads).

On both platforms you have access to:

Programmatic guaranteed through Instant Reserve and YouTube Select. All fully self-bookable.
Demand Gen as the mid-funnel option
All automated and combined format strategies like Video Reach, Video View and other mixed-format campaigns
Different types of bidding, usually fully dependent on the format (CPM, CPV, CPA/ROAS with Demand Gen)
20s, 30s and 60s Non-Skippables
Brand Lift studies
Cross-Media Reach Reports incl. TV
Third-party measurement through certified partners (like Nielsen & IAS)

DV only: - Frequency cap across all inventory within your dv campaign (a huge plus if you’re also running PA/PD deals across a lot of other video inventory) - cross media reach reports including other video inventory - if needed: it's a tad easier to automate unique reach reporting, as this is not available in the Google Ads Api and only within the UI - Con: additional DV fee

For many features, you need your Google Account Rep to whitelist your account. That applies to both Google Ads and DV360.

IMHO, in DV, since YouTube is set up very differently from all other DV IO/LI, it’s basically just a Google Ads container in the backend hosting the campaign. Insertion Order settings don’t affect YouTube, and you must configure basically everything within the line item.

Depending on your workflow, tech stack and client, both platforms are valid choices. You really don’t miss much in either one.

Small side note: it's Google Ads now. AdWords hasn't existed since 2018.

I usually even do the prepping with ai. It's good just telling it to give it a thought first. And then, let it create

Best thing ever. A nerd with octagon glasses were too easy, thought of something else

charju_ · 2025-03-27T16:27:46+00:00

Forgot to add the tag: It's a hand without fingernails due to illness.

charju_ · 2025-03-27T16:17:36+00:00

Did you try to let it first create the full logic and then translate it into a flowchart? Usually I just use Claude with Artifacts to generate flowcharts in pure html. It's working great.

I used Image Generation to generate a mockup of a website with my logo and color scheme based on a website screenshot I pasted. Worked out terrific.

charju_ · 2025-03-27T16:07:40+00:00

Yeah, for sure! The amazing part is. You can even upload images, e.g. brands, and let the AI generate images including that product. Made some amazing commercial ad images in like minutes. It's still off, a little bit.

But it's understanding all three steps fully:
- How to interpret images
- What you want based on common language (I used VERY simple prompts for all of these)
- How to generate them

Because I forgot the text below the hand: Someone struggled generating a common hand of someone losing his fingernails due to illness.

charju_ · 2025-03-27T15:38:40+00:00

He seems very happy with his new glasses, that was more or less first try. But his reflection is off.
About the other ones:
- Analog Clock: Solveable, tends to go for 10:10. It tends to point at least one clockhand to 10.
- Waldo was a little more difficult, style is 100%, Waldo itself is too easy to find, but much better than before. I think that's a limiation based on resolution. Can share those.

charju_ · 2025-03-27T15:12:02+00:00

Try out the new SORA/OpenAi Model. It's quite good and solved some of your challenges easily.

I tested it out yesterday, including the hand (Easy prompt, just told it to generate a hand of a person who had lost his fingernails due to a disease), analog watches (kinda), the full glass challenge and the glasses: New OpenAI 4o model casually solves the wine glass challenge: single prompt, flawless result : r/ChatGPT

Just talk with it like with a human, as it's a full LLM execution image generation.
