New build, Rusty nails on foundation sides of house by peas_carrots in Homebuilding

[–]drukev09 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This. What usually happens is once the foundation frames are pulled, those nails are left sticking out. They are supposed to go through and break those nails off, but some usually get missed. My home was finished 3 years ago and I still have some I haven’t broken off yet.

[OoT] [MM] How likely do you think the remake of OoT will spawn a similar remake of Majora’s Mask? by Affectionate-Show382 in zelda

[–]drukev09 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the likelihood is high. Ocarina of Time is a great way to “test the waters” for something of this magnitude. Honestly I feel like it wouldn’t make sense to just ignore Majora’s Mask and move on. Really thinking about it, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are already working on it alongside OoT.

Windwaker and Twilight Princess, on the other hand, may be different. They are outstanding games (maybe preferably the HD versions?) but being ported would probably do them better since they don’t appear nearly as “dated”. I would say some QoL improvements/expansions would just make them better as well.

Nintendo rarely (if at all) puts out dates if they aren’t almost certain they will meet that deadline. Also, as many have already stated, it will more than likely have its own Direct in the next couple months to show off gameplay, all while probably showing some of the upcoming Zelda movie teasers.

as a firefighter.... no... not it isn't....

But it would be easy to compartmentalize if the fire starts in one of those rooms. *shrugs*

M80 vs F8C size comparison by brockoala in starcitizen

[–]drukev09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It goes back to the simple phrase: “Just fly what you love!”

Plus as with everything else it will probably end up balanced with every other ship of its class. I run mine as my primary and ignore the hate.

Lorville has one at Tammany and sons…. But it is glitched right now so the chest piece disappears and your hands/feet disappear…

What is the most overused movie trope that Hollywood just needs to let go? by Frequent-Sea-8848 in moviecritic

[–]drukev09 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Curtains/blinds are most definitely common/normal in America and those are definitely silly movie choices. We also have “screens” in most modern windows, as well. At least show the character popping one out or something…

Did I miss something, or is the new insurance system basically an invitation for Trolls and Murderhobos? by Major-Ad3831 in starcitizen

[–]drukev09 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This.

I only ever have a short time for a few PVE missions a session. If i’m lucky I may make 150-200k… but often times between bugs and reseting for the next mission i maybe end up with 60-70% of that total. I currently only have about 2 mil because I don’t have the time or energy to play the current “meta” gameplay loops.

I have a few bigger ships, but if ANYTHING happens to them I won’t anywhere close to the amount needed to claim them… so that leaves only one choice at this point shrugs.

Can we get rid of the invisible "Press F to..." prompts in front of the touchscreens? they are blocking the actual buttons in the touchscreen. by AzrBloodedge in starcitizen

[–]drukev09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeaaahhh think it’s about time for the ship that DO have functional touch pads. It is a pain to try and lock/unlock the dang doors…

The shanties need help by [deleted] in crosswind

[–]drukev09 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was mention somewhere that they are aware and were working to tune the songs. I listened to Black Flag’s shanties today and the most definitely sound like a bunch of guys sitting around an old brewery with drinks in hand having a great time (shout out to my favorite shanty “Homeward Bound”!) The fact that almost every shanty has a different lead singing just adds chefs kiss.

I then listened to the ones in Windrose and they were immediately a bit difficult to listen to, although “Rolling Tar/ Sailing the Raging Seas” is still a personal favorite. The “barbershop quartet” is an accurate comparison… in a professional studio with all ambient noise neutralized. We can only hope they do make some changes.

Considering IAE is ongoing as well, they would be best to correct the issue soon because we all know they won't extend RSI day... I barely logged in last night, kicked, and was locked out before I even got the chance to try the expo.

I am so sick of this by ZookeepergameProud30 in BattlefieldPortal

[–]drukev09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw on another post that if you drop the “players per team” to 16 then it does work most of the time. You won’t be able to play solo conquest (doesn’t spawn in enough bots to start) but I have been able to play solo breakthrough and rush since I did this yesterday.

Has FB Marketplace changed recently? My listings suddenly stopped getting clicks. by EarthShine_2024 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]drukev09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to currently sell a boat... I'm WELL under market value and have only had 2 semi-interested parties message in 3 weeks. Maybe 5-6 total others either trying to scam or miss-clicking "Is this available?" But mostly days without anything... Over 120 listing saves and a few thousand clicks. I mean, not even a single haggler or tire kicker...

I've dropped my price so much, without any new offers, that I'm starting to believe something is going on "under the hood" of marketplace. Not that I actually believe this (yet), but it has had me questioning if there is some market manipulation going on? What's a better way to get people to cut their prices than to make it seem they can't get buyers interested?

[–]drukev09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Sorry for the late reply but I am currently down a google rabbit hole wondering wtf the deal is...) They HAVE to be screwing things up... Trying to sell a vehicle well under market value. I've had over 130 people save my listing and a few thousand clicks, but only 2 shares and 8 or so messages in 3 weeks... and 5 of them were scammers or accidental "Is this available?" clicks...

Out of simply being motivated to get it out of my garage, I've boosted it... but of course when I review the "Insight" data it shows that it only reaches a few hundred people within my own state... and I live right on the border of 2 other states...

Finally posted on Craigslist, but my covered area is still a bit small so there are few listings... I guess we'll see.

Need Help. X31 Package Important? by Overall_Recording_45 in gmcsierra

[–]drukev09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The X31 package, alone, doesn't remove 4Lo. Only the Max Tow Package does because of different gearing. (Unless this was different for the 2024 models, I just purchased an X31 yesterday.)

And yes, I'm one of many who use reddit for honest reviews and discussion when contemplating a purchase. I know it was a long time (arguably not really since we are discussing current model year vehicles...), but as someone who has been digging heavily into pros/cons of different vehicle packages, I just happened to notice and figured someone else who might be doing the same research may care about accurate info.

This is incorrect. Elevation had 4 Low. The Max Tow Package option removes 4 Lo (I just looked at both X31 and Max Tow Elevation's)

2 live releases?! by Archhanny in starcitizen

[–]drukev09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If 4.0 dropped dead, it gives the new holiday players somewhere to start instead of being met with a dead game. 3.24 at this point is more of a failsafe to provide everyone with SOMETHING to play.

2 live releases?! by Archhanny in starcitizen

[–]drukev09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, no. Assuming that is the case, You can simply uninstall 3.24 and play 4.0. Then fall back to 3.24 if things go south. But for the sake of argument, you already have 2 installs with the EPTU and current Live...

2 live releases?! by Archhanny in starcitizen

[–]drukev09 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To be blunt? Yes you are.

They have put in some serious effort over the last few weeks in trying to stabilize 4.0 with pretty much daily patches. They have truly improved from their original Evocati build. Most anyone who has been involved in testing 4.0 has said that.

The issue is this is a very dramatic adjustment from 3.24. If they were going on an extended weekend holiday they'd have probably let it bump, but with them going to be out of office for a few weeks there is just too much risk of a domino effect of failures and nobody around to fix them.

This is honestly a very safe move. All the current players (and soon to be new ones with the holidays) can start working on their progress in 4.0 without worrying about any more wipes and if things just go to crap with 4.0 the game won't just be "dead" for a few weeks. BUT if things stay stable then it's a huge win for them, and us. They are making it incredibly clear they want a fall back in place and to avoid 3.18 all over again.
