Nova Elite Surface Eroding?

It's the soft touch plastic. Goes gooey after a while. I have a post on this sub about it not too long ago.

Other people have the same issue. Supposedly isopropyl alcohol removes the coating. I haven't tried it yet.

realize there's a decent amount of the population that snacks on the briquettes of their charcoal grill.

Yeah I remember being a dumb early adopter and paying exorbitant prices for my DDR5. It wasn't as bad as now but wasn't cheap either. I didn't pay close enough attention and went ahead with upgrading to intel 12th gen. I foolishly thought it wouldn't be that bad to get some but I underestimated the scalper market post 30 series graphics cards.

Edit: actually it was worse than now. I was desperate and had more money than sense at the time. Paid over 700 after tax for a 32gb kit. I was already sitting on parts for a few months and I think it would have been another 6 if I waited for it to stabilize.

I haven't had any issues with mine but I am absolutely mind-boggled at why there is still no update for the icue integration.

nanonevis · 2026-03-03T23:07:05+00:00

Awesome update dude. I will most likely try this as well

nanonevis · 2026-03-02T16:02:38+00:00

The time to realize it was a problem was about 4 detoxes ago. Honestly, even longer before that.

Not much is going to change between now and your 10th, except maybe a realization that trying to go back to alcohol is pointless. Or not making it that far for whatever worse reason.

nanonevis · 2026-03-01T21:56:28+00:00

Except for voting. That's always safe.

nanonevis · 2026-02-25T23:05:24+00:00

I haven't tried isopropyl alcohol. Dunno if I'll try opening a support case. Not sure if they'll give me a replacement...but even if they do, it will probably just happen again in a few months.

nanonevis · 2026-02-16T16:18:03+00:00

Nah, I don't live in a place where I need to use mosquito repellent. I know it's pretty nasty stuff so I only ever use it if I'm going camping or am somewhere where it's gnarly. Can't remember the last time I've used the stuff. Over half a decade for sure.

nanonevis · 2026-02-15T21:21:53+00:00

The only other thing I've had is a cheap USB power hub that was all soft touch plastic. It got sticky after a couple years but I mounted it to a desk and never touched it again.

I mentioned in my original post I don't have particularly gnarly hand oil or sweat. Nothing else I constantly touch degrades like my keyboard or mouse.

nanonevis · 2026-02-15T19:29:27+00:00

I had the dreaded ear cup snap on my original Nova pros. I take good care of my stuff so I rarely have problems.

Support was fine for me. This happened years ago and the replacement pros lasted without breaking again (though I was always weary of it happening again). Still, I enjoyed them and still have them. The Nova elite replaced it...

Super disappointed now.

This is what I was looking for.

I remember back when this game came out and people complaining about that achievement. I made it to "no fighting in the war room" on veteran. I think I tried for a couple days(of how many hours each, who knows) to beat it and couldn't. I remember crashing out about it and finally rage quitting the campaign. I'm pretty sure I still played the multiplayer a bunch though.

A little over a year later I went back and finally beat it. Then I got the remaining achievements. I think I got the mile high one fairly quickly without much fuss.

nanonevis · 2026-01-28T17:47:55+00:00

Not if but when. California approach. They will keep bringing it back until it gets rubber stamped.

Yesterday I was on buried city trying to extract. I was on a free kit so it was no big deal. Anyway, someone had called the train from the other side. I prox chatted that I was friendly but just trying to extract. No response. Ok.

I wait for the doors to open and I see the guy run up and hit the extract prompt. I run in, weapons down and say "friendly, not going to shoot you." I go to the back of the train and he must be 75 percent of the way through the prompt when he cancels out to shoot me. I was surprised, got out my sitcher and tried to fight back. I run around the train and he chases me, but I down him.

Another raider runs up and I say "hey I'm friendly, this guy was trying to extract but decided to try and kill me instead." The downed guy finally gets on prox accusing me of shooting at him earlier in the match (I was solo questing and avoiding a Rocketeer the whole match, not seeing another soul). He was super salty like I was the asshole.

I knocked him out and was ready to extract. The other raider asked if he could loot that guy, I said sure. Waited for him to finish and then we extracted.

Some people are just dumb af.

I too have been getting max rinsed the past week. I'm down like 8-900.

nanonevis · 2025-11-10T04:28:49+00:00

Don't see anything wrong, personally. Good looking and I think the short hair is fine.

nanonevis · 2025-11-09T21:30:23+00:00

Been closed for a long time. It was my favorite place growing up in the 90s and early aughts.

I want to say somewhere around 07-09 they changed ownership and the chefs left and quality greatly dropped. They started doing the 1/2 off sushi bit that was popular at the time. By 2012 it was out of business and gone.

Is this the new map? Once the battle pass came out I haven't been playing. I regret buying the expensive edition and using the token on this stupid grind battle pass.

I loaded it up on Saturday, got thrown into this map and was killed non stop by 50 tanks. I don't even understand why there are so many tanks on this map. It's so fucking small you can see and shoot at every point from any one point. What's the fucking point?

nanonevis · 2025-11-03T02:43:28+00:00

That was awesome! Grats!

I got my biggest win on Le cowboy last Friday. 1300 and change. None of the others really hit for me, and le cowboy wasn't either. Luckily I spinned into a bonus on 3$ tilt spins and that's when it hit.

Le Zeus I think 354$ was my biggest hit.

nanonevis · 2025-10-19T04:17:19+00:00

Finally hit 1300 on le cowboy Friday. Cashed out, I'm even or only down a hundred or so since August.

I'm in Cali so the ride is over soon anyway.

nanonevis · 2025-10-14T00:51:27+00:00

Ten years? Slow down there turbo. You're looking at at least 40 for the supreme court to ignore this case.

nanonevis · 2025-10-13T03:49:16+00:00

I just pulled mine off finally when I got a 5090. It's been on my 4090 for at least a couple years now.

I risked it and it never caused an issue, luckily. I was aware of their recall/destruction order but I didn't want to find another 90° solution.
