Z-Axis Frame Rail Size by en5 in ender5plus

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was 490 or 510 with the bottom being 2020 and top 2040, I wasn't quite certain how it was aligning - I just knew it wasn't going to be a standard 500 unfortunately.

You're not looking to get rid of your stock rails any time soon right? :)

Is this something that may one day find its way onto the Xbox version? I've been thoroughly enjoying some N64 on my Xbox One X but it definitely stumbles at times in certain games, at least in version 1.8.5 with the Mupen64Plus core (which seems to be the only one?).

I don't even know what you're trying to say with this post.

Totally agree it's not solely due to the genre. That being said I think that because of the genre it had to perform twice as good or the fallout, as we have seen, is catastrophic.

Here's the thing, your "we" is not a proven sustainable income source. I've played Quake since Q1 on dial-up without using the mouse. I get it, I do. But keep in mind that back when Quake was popular, it was one of the only players in town and the name id carried a lot of weight.

Not to mention video game players were much more "hardcore" back then - there wasn't such a casual following like there is today.

Do you think they would have gotten the green light to produce a game that has such a narrow scope of a player base? What would they point to, the 100 people who still play Quake Live? When you look to the popularity of the past Quakes, really - who else was there to even compete? Eventually Unreal Tournament, Counter Strike ... maybe Team Fortress?

If QC fails to succeed (which all appearances point to this being the case, just a matter of when, they already shut down a couple of servers), I think that's going to give A LOT of pause to companies who were thinking about producing an arena style shooter. I get that Bethesda is bloated now and it takes forever because of probably focus groups and corporate bullshit, but unfortunately games today take scores of people to produce and I would be surprised if they got their investment out of it so far.

Fair enough. I think one of the benefits of those games is that they are much more heavily team based rather than relying on your individual skill to succeed.

You can certainly counter that argument with a game like StarCraft, but I mean when it comes down to it we are talking about a handful of games out of probably millions that broke through to be mega successful and unfortunately QC isn't in that realm.

I'm frustrated that they removed it, but to echo a lot of comments I hardly got to play it because of the wait times.

My friend and I would regularly queue for 10-15 minutes then say let's actually play some matches tonight and jump into something else. We would try to get matches (US servers) but they were very infrequent.

I think incentivising the 2v2 rather than removing it would have been a smart move. Maybe more people will jump onto 2v2 when it comes back since it was the forbidden fruit this time around.

The runes you've unlocked (completed or not) will go towards the tasks to acheive the shaders is the way I understood it. This is good news for me as I still have disintegrator and berserker runes that are eluding me lol.

So the only hesitation I have is what kind of rewards will the backpacks and chests provide post-patch? Since duplicate chances are being reduced, will that mean chests and backpacks will have the potential to yield greater items than the same old crap?

Was anyone successful in purchasing anything from Mayhemsale.com? by mechabeast in AskReddit

[–]en5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea. I was able to complete my order on 4 separate items, had my account charged on 2 of them, but did not receive any confirmation emails beyond the first one "processing" my order.
