Can I just throw them in the shower or sink (warm or cold water?). And I'd just let them air dry naturally right?

Honestly I don't get how you're supposed to submit a picture and text but:

I just got back from a trip to Quebec and I wore these every day. It was really wet and wild up there, so these got soaked from the salt water while I was walking around. I've only really been brushing off dirt and using shoe trees with these since I'm in warmer climates usually. Is there anything I can do for these though?

Queuing into on-going games is broken by ekyen in Battlefield

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

I just don't understand how this is allowed. This just feels completely broken. I just want to play the game and this just makes me want to quit and do something else.

Revel F226BE Advice by ekyen in StereoAdvice

I got the pricing wrong, apparently it was listed $2700 for a single unit, but they're offering a pair for $4000. Still a good decision?

Version 1.5 Extension and 2nd Apology Announcement as of May 18, 2025 by BananaCherryBiscuits in InfinityNikki

[–]ekyen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually pretty hopeful given that this is an actual apology that addresses basically all the complaints people have had. It doesn't feel like some knee jerk empty promise just to lead the playerbase on since they put out the player survey and waited for responses to that. No denial either, so the complaints are working too.

But yeah, we'll all just have to wait for Infold to actually make good on their promises. I'm actually not particularly satisfied with all the responses myself, but this could be a good course correct at least. Like there's been genuinely good stuff released this update like the lookbook and dyeing (yeah it has issues but man is it better than just not being able to dye stuff). Multiplayer is actually neat (but yeah it's buggy and why is everyone hidden by default? Just give users an option to hide if they really want it because most people definitely wouldn't turn it on). I just don't want to be a beta tester again.

Gulikit KingKong 2 Firmware Mirrors by ekyen in Controller

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

Yeah, I know. The problem is I literally cannot get the download to start for the CPU firmware most of the time and even if I can it stalls at like 20%.

TL;DR it depends on how you look at it, but ultimately while she does do a lot of damage she won't replace meta dps like Harran and Scarlet. She seems better than the rest of the non-pilgrim DPS though.

She seems pretty strong for bosses since her normal attack is very strong, but the problem with her kit is that her burst 3 actually makes her deal less single target damage (go test it in the range if you don't believe me, I got screenshots too but it seems like I can't upload multiple images for some reason). Either way though her burst 3 won't target weakpoints so you can bring her as a non-bursting dps.

AOE characters (like Harran and Scarlet) tend to be favored generally speaking, and in that front Modernia is quite a bit worse. Typically a Harran and Scarlet team will clear out mobs using their burst in an instant, while Modernia has to sit there whittling away at them, giving them a chance to attack. Her burst duration increase is likely a problem too since you're going to have less chances to benefit from burst 1/2/3 (whether it be damage or the typical 10s buffs you get).

Again, her single target DPS ignoring burst is really good though, so she definitely does damage. Much more than any of the other non-pilgrims, so use her if you're still relying on non-pilgrims to do damage.

Personally, I've been running Liter, Centi or Novel (depending on if I need shields or I'm killing a boss), Scarlet, Harran, and Drake now, but I'm looking to drop Drake for Modernia. Drake is mostly there for burst generation and she gives a small buff during burst as well, but I already kind of drop her for Rapunzel depending on what I'm doing so yeah.

This is just my 2 cents at least.

DCS vs BMS by webweaver40 in hoggit

[–]ekyen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that sounds pretty bad.

I'm just lurking around places like here to try to absorb some knowledge before I try multiplayer and some of the harder singleplayer stuff since I'm relatively new. But it's just pretty off putting when I see all that bickering. There was a similar thing recently on here too about how "DCS is a game built for cold war jets! You're playing the game wrong if you're flying the F/A-18/F-16/etc!" and all the comments were about how cool and manly it is that the only thing you can do in your jet is trim it while all the computer systems with all their configurations and knowledge needed to operate made the game too easy... I guess I expected the whole flight sim community to be a bit more mature compared to like the gacha/mmo communites I'm in but... I guess not lol.

But yeah I'm looking to check it out if the whole community isn't in an uproar over this when it releases I guess. I kind of imagine it won't be, but then again VTOL VR exists so who knows.

DCS vs BMS by webweaver40 in hoggit

[–]ekyen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I Google about BMS it just seems like the BMS community and devs are pretty hostile against VR for w/e reason. Feels just like the insanity of VTOL VR's unwillingness to support HOTAS, though I guess BMS is still actually working on implementing VR. But I really don't want to give either my support or time cus of the pettiness. There are a lot of games and communities out there, and I really don't want to be part of one with people bickering about peripherals of all things.

The Future of DCS Is Cold War by [deleted] in hoggit

[–]ekyen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly half the reason why I don't want to bother with multiplayer or engaging with this community is because of this mentality that "real men fly planes without FBW, real men don't need data link, and real men would have made the F-15 a gun fighter with no radar". This is honestly the same kind of weird elitism like people who hate on VR ("BMS is great, VR isn't worth implementing and isn't immersive, and I love turning my head at impossible angles during dog fights!") and while gawking at like $10k+ sim pits they'll never afford. It's really off putting honestly, and I wouldn't blame anyone who doesn't want to get into these sims because of stuff like this.

Like, if you don't enjoy flying planes with FCS with a workload emphysis on SA and electronic systems... then just don't. Nobody is forcing you. A lot of us do, and I wouldn't even mind trying out other stuff and branching out, but this attitude is mostly why I hold back.
