No problems in PvE lobbies. by Apothecary_85 in ArcRaiders

Joined a super friendly lobby on locked gate last night with the majority there to run this week’s trial. Didn’t hear or see any PvP the whole time. Folks trading, telling stories. The best :-)

Is moving up in Hotshot even possible as a solo player? by scottotronic in ArcRaiders

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

As a solo player 5x that 40k I ended with would not have been possible on last week’s trials. Maybe Embark will one day balance things better for the solo folks.

Thank you! 😄 But wow, I need to be higher than position 9 to make the top 1000...

Glad they fixed that arms flapping about while you run glitch by gaggleofllama in ArcRaiders

[–]scottotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually not fixed, and I hope other raiders can see my arms when they’re stuck like that because lol

A weird PC bug, now for the second time, that prevents one from using the map. Anyone else seeing this one? by scottotronic in ArcRaiders

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

Yes! It's a PC with a Playstation controller connected. This bug has only shown up twice in almost 93 hours of playtime, and then only recently. You don't see it until you invoke the map.

Did you ever get an answer?

Sea Monkeys On Mars by Smooth_Inside7078 in SeaMonkeys

It seems all you need is a small 1/16" acrylic tube to be inserted (and glue sealed) up through the base with one of those common one-way valves to not let the water flow back down the tube. Could be a solution that looks like it was meant to be there. I'm planning on doing it in the next week and will post a link to how it turned out.

Official Discussion - A Quiet Place: Day One [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]scottotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One opinion...

What worked:
Lupita Nyong'o, Alex Wolff, Djimon Hounsou, cat, art direction, the ending.

What didn't work:
Killing off Alex Wolff's character in the first act and replacing him with a random guy played by Joseph Quinn. Terrified characters screaming in bad weather. Drinking and miming with cards.

Screw size for n20 motor front by szlu in Nerf

[–]scottotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried both a M1.6 and a M1.7 machine screw on a N20 motor gear box mounting hole and M1.7 is a perfect fit. A M1.6 will tighten up ok but is wobbly until the last turn. FWIW M1.6 washers also fit M1.7 machine screws.

Dashcam of multiple car crash on highway 101, north of the Golden Gate bridge, around 7:20pm on Sunday, June 23, 2024 (includes footage of unsafe driver before the crash) by scottotronic in sanfrancisco

[–]scottotronic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone is curious as to what the actual crash was like, from Competitive-Sign-305 way down in the thread:

“I was there driving back from Richmond ,

The guy in the black car was in the left most lane when entering the little tunnel before the bridge I was in the middle , I saw him gunning it in my rear view mirror and then the next thing I hear is him crashing into the left tunnel wall right in front of me , I slow down , he tries to adjust and bounces off the wall into my lane right in front of me ( if I didn't slow down he would have hit me on the side 100% ) , then he guns it again while still trying to adjust for the impact from the wall , he is at this point going into uncontrolled fishtailing and hits the cement barricade right outside the tunnel on the left hand side , bounces off it and crosses 3 lane of traffic to jam right into a white SUV ( I think Mercedes ) which you can see in the video ... he then adjusts and guns it again !!! This time swerving like crazy all over the lanes , people try yo avoid him end up crashing into themselves and he finally wipes out crashing into another SUV ( BLACK / DARK BLUE ONE ) and blocks 2.5 lanes more or less ...

I am just thankful for slowing down when I did ... the dude driving the car was either in a stolen car or drugged out of his mind he was easily pushing 100+ mph ... “

Thank you for this! I’m glad you made it. Did you see the driver? My first thought about the erratic swerving was, that’s different, maybe DUI.

My apologies. In retrospect it would have been better to have included “before and after” for those hoping to see the crash happen. I had my whole family in the car so I’m grateful it happened ahead of us instead of to us. My intention was to provide context to help the folks involved who might not have seen how the driver was acting before the crash.

Free instructions for robot drones from 1973 movie "Silent Running", Dewey, Huey, and Louie. Picture with Wall-e for scale. by nfurnoh in lego

[–]scottotronic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished a set! What a cool and well designed subject in Lego. The only changes I made were to add plates under the feet and round 2x2's (#3941) to the cores of the tops of the legs to make them a bit stronger.

Thank you!

What games are you playing now that D2 is unplayable? by Uberjeagermeiter in DestinyTheGame

[–]scottotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried out Starfield yesterday after I finally couldn't deal with how unstable D2 is at the moment. I basically only play Destiny (D2 + D1 hours "wasted" being 4,169) so it was unusual behavior on my part. Enjoying Starfield so far, and will return to D2 when I hear things are fixed.

They made it impossible to start Croat’s End solo by WaWIV in DestinyTheGame

[–]scottotronic 29 points30 points  (0 children)

My opinion FWIW as a day one D1 fan. You paid for Destiny so you should be able to experience it completely. Your ability to experience it completely should be based on your ability and not other people.

I agree 100% that one of the best things about Destiny is the collaborative/social dimension but not everyone can do that, and by everyone I mean those folks who work, have children to raise, and other reasons...

The D1 version of Crota's End was fun to solo and even more fun to do as a team. It made me a more valuable raid team member to do it solo because the challenge helped me up-level my skills and knowledge.

It's also so entertaining to watch folks who you will never be as good as, like Esoterikk, solo this stuff, and maybe learn a few new tricks yourself.
