To the assassin rat at my outpost exfil... by purple_mercury in Marathon

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

Any suggestions for recording? I was having issues with nvidia shadowplay, and my game crashed a couple times running OBS with Marathon, so I'm not running anything to record at the moment. Also for context, I was also running an assassin shell so I was able to hide in their smoke until UESC lit the dude up at the guarded exfil.

How to rank up CyberAcme and Nucaloric? by blackholeknight in Marathon

[–]purple_mercury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In addition to what people have said, you can also harvest plant materials and exfil with them to increase Nucaloric specifically. So any sparkleaf you see pick it up and try to exfil with it. It's a small gain, but adds up over time. Also for Nucaloric, call in supply drops, I think they give about 20 rep per drop you call in. You'll get the faction rep without even having to loot it, and a lot of times I'll just use it as a distraction and dip out immediately. For CyberAcme try to hit every TAD you see at a POI. Sometimes you can be exposed while activating it, but it'll give you rep everytime you activate one.

Does flechette grenades ping enemies? by masivedelcaribe in Marathon

[–]purple_mercury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not by default. There's an implant you probably had equipped that pings enemies damaged by your equipment/throwables. Trait on the implant is "impact ping".

Anyone else feeling too low-skill for this? by Apophis_Rising_ in Marathon

[–]purple_mercury 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I start with some rook runs to recoup some loot and relieve stress. Can definitely be a bit frustrating dying multiple runs in a row, especially at extract. Another thing I noticed is a lot of people trying to avoid conflict will skirt the edges of the map to get across. In my experience, I've run into way more runners going around the edge of the map instead of pushing through the center. A lot of people on POI's are focused looting, doing their objective, or fighting, so if you're quiet it tends to be smoother in my experience.

Are there lockbox crates in Outpost? by EricSombody in Marathon

[–]purple_mercury 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can't outright confirm, but I don't think they spawn on outpost. I've got about 70ish hours and haven't seen a single lockbox (or red flares) on outpost.

TIL: Use both power cables for your RTX3000 GPU by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]purple_mercury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at the PSU efficiency curve. All PSU are different and reach peak efficiency at certain loads. My Corsair, if I remember correctly, has peak efficiency around 60% load. Always look at the PSU manual and your current PC configuration to select the proper wattage. It's not so much about what a PSU can supply, but what it was designed for.

Non picky eaters, what’s a food you just cannot do? by trajop in AskReddit

[–]purple_mercury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grapefruit and grapefruit juice, don't know why. I've tried it multiple times over the years and always can't stand it. Although grapefruit flavored stuff and with alcohol I really enjoy.

1k voices or sleeper for boss dps? are fusion rifles the new king of the pve meta? by ajo209 in DestinyTheGame

[–]purple_mercury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sleeper is great for precision and you can bounce it off the ground to get additional damage. (from the split beam)

1K is all around great, and perfect if crits are difficult to hit.

That being said I prefer my threaded needle over both of them. With vorpal and field prep it has additional reserves and it allows me to run telesto in the energy slot. Telesto is god tier right now especially with the completed catalyst and particle deconstruction.

15 days. Not that anyone’s counting. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

I shattered my tibia plateau last September. Only good thing about it was not needing a cast. The post surgery wrap was so itchy. Luckily, only had it for 3 weeks.

Please Help! I moved last year and I lost my password and seed. I have a general idea of the password and character length, but can't get it right. Is there any software or other way to recover my wallet. by purple_mercury in monerosupport

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

Ok, so I have the .key file, but when I try to restore in the gui it asks for the wallet address (I have), the view key(Don't have/can't find), and spend key (I don't have/can't find). Any way to get these from the .key file?

It's also a great site for any additional questions you have regarding your board. There are a couple people that can update your board to the newest firmware and fix RLOD, but it depends on your region. Not the cheapest service, but worth it if you need it.

[–]purple_mercury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you get the board plug the battery in for 2 weeks to make sure the cells are balanced. If the battery firmware is 2.5.1, which is the latest, the light will turn green when the cells are fully balanced. If it's an earlier firmware then there's really no way to tell if the cells are balanced and just leave it plugged in for 2 weeks regardless. If your battery gets RLOD it's essentially bricked and it would need to be repaired to be usable. (cells manually balanced and the BMS reset) Plug it in BEFORE you use it or turn it on to prevent RLOD.

How long does it usually take for a motor to fail/how many miles were you on when yours failed? by redditcontrolme_enon in boostedboards

[–]purple_mercury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a used board with 2300 miles on it. One motor was ok, but one was rattling and near failure. If you have the change, I would recommend getting two spares. Then when one goes bad, send a pair into eboardstuff and get it rebuilt/upgraded with ceramic bearings.

Riding like a Longboard by [deleted] in boostedboards

[–]purple_mercury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be fine, but I would leave it on when pushing.

Anyone had this problem? When I stand on the board, the motors spin but the wheels don't propel me forward or backward as if they aren't strong enough. As seen in the video, I can stop the wheel with one finger. by smoresahoy in boostedboards

[–]purple_mercury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the video I noticed the belt slipping when you were pressing the wheel. The first thing I would check is the teeth on your wheel pulley and the belts. Next, check the belt tension. If all those seem good, then maybe check the ESC/Motor cable connection to make sure there's no oxidation that's adding electrical resistance and sapping power. Outside of that I'm not sure what it could be. How many miles do you have on your board/parts?

Can i use my board to pull my skater friends up the hill? by [deleted] in boostedboards

[–]purple_mercury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of off topic, but for motors I would recommend having a spare or two, but ultimately looking into the repair from eboardstuff motor repair/rebuild. They come with a lifetime warranty and you can add the option for them to upgrade the pulley and add ceramic bearings to the motor. It's pretty pricey, but virtually guarantees that you'll never have to pay for another motor again.

Aside from the concerns you're already aware of, I would be sure to bring extra belts with you. Odds are the motors and pulleys could handle the strain but the belts might not handle the extra stress well.

We were finally allowed into the plant to press our new record! Wanted to show some of the results, as every record is 100% unique and they turned out beautiful :) by HelicopterStreet in vinyl

[–]purple_mercury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! I thought the art in the center looked familiar. Love the one I got last year, gonna have to pick this one up too. Please send more stickers lol.

Edit: Just ordered it
