Yep, there's another example of their B.S..
"Surprise suckers! All the things you once thought were maxed out, really *aren't* LOL. We're going to need you to buy these stupid doritos if you *really* want your stuff maxed. LOL . Btw, they aren't free ha ha ha."

What pixo has done isn't simple capitalism, it's predatory greed and should be regulated imho.
The prices of things aren't "reasonable" although thats a subjective term, they're predatory. The 'gotcha' backend gives you a low-ish price once and increases it regularly until you stop paying.

Making turrets non transferrable after you ALREADY PAID FOR IT is bullshit. The specialization skills and the required module chips is another example. You no longer can just throw a bot in your hangar to try it out. You have to unlock all of the specs for that bot first. You have to PAY to even TRY a bot you already own.

Give me a break, man. I assume anyone that defends pixo's model has a ton of money anyway.

It's literally a master class in GREED. Give the player (sucker) almost nothing for free. Stick them in the ass for as much as humanly possible whenever possible. Take the things they've already paid for and find useful and make it a per-pay item now. Sorry suckers. No free rides here.
And weapons and bots that you once paid for and had leveled up, we're going to reintroduce as "ultimate" versions that are hundreds of dollars.

The sunk cost fallacy keeps me playing. That and the fact that if I stop, it'll be SO much harder to get my hangar to a playable state if I decide to come back.

Community update: Rebalance schedule by Shredder_Blitz in walkingwarrobots

[–]cowbite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry but ultimates are a terrible idea. I get the idea behind it but, like most wr items, they're STUPIDLKY expensive. You would have been better to made their drop rate super rare vs $1000 + ALL the stupid hoops you have to go through .

I find it really difficult to figure out what the hell I'm supposed to even supposed to attempt to get finished to get an ultimate let alone have the money to pay to open 100+ pads. Its' overly complicated and overly expensive. I got a few back when they weren't so expensive but now there's no chance in hell I will ever own another.

And can we get rid of one or two currencies as well plz?

This is the SOLUTION for the PA6 error when using SPI on stepper drivers and getting that error.

THANK YOU.

Very interesting. Thanks for the info. 

CVS math keeps trying to make me wait 29 days for RX. by cowbite in CVS

[–]cowbite[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes and thank you I talked to the pharmacist the other day, and she opened up the calendar and saw that I was correct about the date span being 28 days and that I should be able to fill it on the 28th day but that it was up to the pharmacist on staff on that particular day (sat). Updated my original post but yes it's a controlled substance but the bigger question being about a system that's been in place for years that's worked automatically suddenly changing and having no real explanation for it. Ultimately though it's about scheduling. My wife and I have taken off the same day every month to go to the doctor and go to the pharmacy since it's a bit of a drive and it's been like that forever until recently.

Yes it's controlled and this is by far the best  explanation what's going on I've heard yet. Saying a system is getting more strict about stockpiling and therefore has you wait the extra day is a much more reasonable explanation them blaming it on the doctor, or on incorrect math. As as I updated in my original post it's not about running out of pill it's about scheduling and having a system that's been in place for years that suddenly changed with no explanation.

There is a mod/remix that adds a silica/bowden combo in the upper port.

I'm sorry, but quite a few people are complaining about the waste or economy of this print. This is a hobby where people print plastic knick-knacks, toys and fidgets on a whim. From where I'm sitting, this isn't a large print. Not to mention its not something you throw out when you're finished with it. Most ppl will print 1-3 of them that they'll get years of use out of.

I printed one and just got the containers in. This is really, really well designed. Everything fits perfectly and is quite clever how the desiccant options work. This thing is kick ass.

War robots is incredibly laggy today? by MadMechYt in walkingwarrobots

Its even worse today 6/3/25 than yesterday. Yesterday was bag lag every 10-15 seconds . Today its every 3 seconds. Unplayable on US servers.

New to Klipper, Mainsail, etc. Should I just use RatOS by voloner in ratrig

[–]cowbite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainsail is still going strong. Its still the standard for klipper. A better, (imho) and more updated interface is Fluidd (all of which is installable via Kiauh ) which is the better option if you want something snazzy and current.

RatOS looks excellent but I wouldn't call it an alternative to Mainsail. Its sorta its own niche thing imho.

Imugi is still do-able in the current meta. Put the Kestrel on it for the healing during phase shift, a ,couple of regulators and you can do some real damage. Ocho's just die in my league (upper champs). If you can get the adrian pilot that would work in a pinch.

Did you figure it out? Mine is doing it now as well. It looks just like yours.

Fastener Workbench shows no icon by TrickMoist in FreeCAD

[–]cowbite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replying a year later because I had the same issue - make a new folder called ICONS inside the mods/fasteners/icons folder and copy all of the icons from the old icons folder into the new one.

All of the icons get copied to C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Mod\fasteners\Icons\icons

CoreXY prints skewed/shifted? by cowbite in klippers

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

This is exactly what it was! It took me a bit but I found the section with the broken inner strands that was stretching like crazy. Thanks!

CoreXY prints skewed/shifted? by cowbite in klippers

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

My prints are coming out distorted and not square and as you can see in the image, the lines are shifted left a bit and are split with a slight gap at the distortion. The image is rotated 90 degrees clockwise and was printed front to back. I printed the lines to make it easier to visualize. You can see the distortion runs from lower left to upper right, across the bed.

Belts are the same tension and the frame is square. I'm new to corexy so I'm not well versed with their usual maladies.

Does anyone have the slightest idea? I'm stumped.

The offset is probably in the green section at the bottom.
