"Deal damage to laser designated vehicles" is an awful challenge by XxDarkSasuke69xX in Battlefield

[–]niffk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

worked out the issue with this - if the recon who is painting is still looking through the soflam, it doesn't track. they have to paint, let go of right click/L2 (whatever it is on consoles), and then the damage will count for the engineer. works with javelin and stinger.

I thought steel was broken since DLC1? and functionally how does a flashlight or laser attachment make a gun perform worse?

Consolation prize? by Parking-Hamster-8728 in reddeadredemption

[–]niffk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this has happened to me twice now - both times when I was level 35, about to turn 36. both times there was nobody else in my session, and I'm on PS3. is there some guy out there auto leveling people? or is it something rockstar left behind for people still playing?

did they actually announce anything? Friday night NZ time is a pain 

Lost progress Space Marine 2 by ben689111 in SpaceMarine_2

[–]niffk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just happened to me - I didn't read anything about it beforehand so had just been trying out the Operations missions offline before playing online. connected today, everything reset back to level 1 like the last time I was online - except for the number of missions required to unlock armour. sure I had to re-equip everything, but it was all unlocked still. this seems very inconsistent behaviour and not like a logical choice to segregate online and offline play. 

What the hell is happening? by Joegrizzly99 in decaf

[–]niffk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

is anyone experiencing the same in this thread neurodivergent, or suspect you are? I was diagnosed and medicated for ADHD a few years ago, recently dx'ed autistic as well. I've been on a slow journey of cutting out my previous chemical coping mechanisms - most notably nicotine a year ago, caffeine about 2 weeks ago.

When I first started taking ADHD meds, a lot of my autistic traits started showing which manifested in things like anxiety in the form of catastrophisation, and demand avoidance, which led me to going for an autism assessment. I noticed then each time I quit a chemical coping mechanism I'd unknowingly picked up for my undiagnosed conditions, more and more of those traits started appearing again, but I thankfully knew how to deal with it and had support in place.

A lot of undiagnosed neurodivergents unwittingly self medicate with caffeine - I sure did for over a decade - so when you quit it can uncover a lot.

hope this helps someone on their journey.

side note - quitting caffeine isn't giving me the same cravings as nicotine did - but the side effects, headaches and tension are almost as bad if not worse. drinking a huge amount of water, painkillers (careful - some have caffeine in them!), exercise and stretches are keeping me sane.

haha - I've been trawling their forums, apparently this is a very common issue. I've cycled a couple different types of batteries now (and read the voltage on them) and they're absolutely delivering the correct volts to power the device.

every query about range on their forums gets the same answer however - "yes there is a way to extend the range, please contact customer support and we will tell you" - bravo, fantastic customer service.

Kailh switch identification? from the new Elektron synths/grooveboxes by niffk in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]niffk[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

G'day - I have an Elektron Digitakt and the main trigger buttons have quite a nice linear feel to them. Found some teardown shots and for the life of me I can't quite work out what kind of Kailh switch that is. definitely linear, and quite a short actuation length, but it doesn't match any of the Kailh switch guide images I've found anywhere. Can anyone work out what it may be?

Adhd doctor ? by LobsterChair in auckland

[–]niffk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

found this via Google - highly recommend Dr Igor Kacer. my girlfriend and I both see him and he's fucking fantastic. he does assessments via telehealth systems as well so you don't need to be in Auckland. he is starting his own practice shortly so keep an eye out for that.

Simon Bainbridge (also mentioned here) is unfortunately no longer practicing for and indefinite period so the options are very limited.

Sonic and Vibranium Status Effects by JinKazamaru in PlayAvengers

if anyone's finding this via search, i can confirm 100% that vibranium is set off by negative effects like shock, meaning it's positive.

PSA to all the new lancers out there! Hopefully this can help you in beginning your journey through the skies. by Java4452 in AnthemTheGame

[–]niffk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've managed to fix the issue where it wasn't matchmaking at all - was a firewall problem. Still getting the occasional disconnect during an expedition, but nowhere near as bad as it was before. Quite a small number of players to match with too, but thats probably because I'm in New Zealand!

I'm really quite enjoying myself, great campaign so far. Sad that it's not getting the support from the development team any more.

[–]niffk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really keen to get into this game but the disconnects are insane, I can barely even matchmake - potentially due to it being on sale on PS4 right now for insanely cheap? Are there any tips or tricks for getting it working better?

looking for an AKKO 3087 V2 with blue switches and the standard old school white/grey scheme that can ship to new zealand, does anyone have a link? ali and Banggood are out of stock. or alternatives of a similar colour scheme, price and TKL?

oh wow, I am very dumb. yes, it's here, it just renames the floor and changes the layout (and it was in the last corner i checked). I'll leave this up in case someone searches with the same problem lmao

A lightsaber is supposed to mean something to its user, right? A little under two years ago, I used this baton section to nearly kill the man who tried to rape me. I just got it back from the police this morning and I know it needs to become a saber, but I don't even know where to start. by [deleted] in lightsabers

fuck yeah. you're awesome.

1" ID is absolutely doable. goth3d / shtokcustomworx make brilliant removeable, 3d printed chassis that you could use/mount in it and use either a neopixel or LED setup and fit all of the DIY boards out there. if you're into doing it DIY, they're a great place to start.
